Belan posted:10 hours in as a caster and I'm kinda regretting it, I forgot how monotonous spamming the same spell over and over gets. I have two whole spells! But still, to manage FP, I do a lot of backstabbing/stealthing, and using my dogshit starter short sword on things. Or if I'm outdoors, once the magic runs out, I just become a hit and run mounted combat lady on Torrent.

if I had one complaint.. just ONE complaint about this game because it's near perfect to me - this game does such a great job of verticality, and of including underground areas, but one of my favourite parts of the design of the previous games was those ways in which the underground and above ground areas interact. it was a much more dynamic interaction than you see in this game, where despite the great emphasis on verticality the underground areas (so far) have existed in basically a totally different playspace than above, separated exclusively by elevators or one way doors to closed off dungeons. this is probably an engine limitation thing but it's still my complaint.

MasterBuilder posted:I have seen about twenty chests in my travels and hit every single one to check for mimics. Haven't found one yet but I'm still going to swing at the twenty first chest just in case. Same. I’ll never stop. You can tell me that no chests in this game will kill me with video evidence and a notarized report from the developer saying as much but I’ve been trolled by Dark Souls fans before.

Wow I just tried incorporating a bow into my playstyle and I'm very glad I did-- just being able to pull enemies from packs is so handy I can't believe I lived without it, and the chip damage is surprisingly good with just the minimal dex investment I needed to equip one. Probably not killing the guy before he reaches me but a couple shots can make the difference between needing 3 sword swings or 4.

My copy of Elden Ring from Gamestop finally showed up! They definitely made it up to me for not getting it here for release day, though: That's right, losers, I've already got the Elden Ring. I think I'll just finish up Horizon this week and give you noobs a chance to catch up with me. (Please ignore the lint -- as soon as I stepped out of the room, the cat decided to become an Elden Lord and stole the ring.)

Bows are really, really useful in this, yeah. I don't know if they're quite as amazing as they are in Demon's Souls but having a longbow was a huge help in Stormveil since I could do a big chunk of damage headshotting enemies from a distance.

Sorcery is legit fun in this game. In the Raya Academy, going toe-to-toe with other sorcerers firing swift glintstone shards at each other feels like a wizard duel in harry potter. This is the game of my dreams.

Ok, I saw someone I summoned wearing the armor from someone at the roundtabel It was the armor with like a piece of metal hugging the armor - they are sitting down when you come in. Where the heck do you get THAT.

It’s literally tiny little skulls with glowing eyes and yeah they’re scattered everywhere. They have a low level rune in them if you break em (easiest way it to simply ride over them with Torrent and hit triangle to pickup whatever is inside.

mcmagic posted:Are people just stopping using the pebble once you have the shard spells available? like every souls game since time immemorial, the mp to damage ratio of the bog standard basic pebble/soul arrow can't be beat by stronger sorceries, so it's essentially something you want to keep glued to your spell slots at all times as a plinking weapon

mcmagic posted:Are people just stopping using the pebble once you have the shard spells available? Pebble has longer range than Quick Shard so it's still worth keeping around. Great Shard is more damaging but also less fp-efficient. So it's a good option for pumping out some damage in boss fights during limited spell-casting windows but not just a swap-in replacement.

Regarding godrick. Is there any lore reason to connect his physical appearance and the wind power. Or is that just the castle because they feel a bit disconnected.

This is a perfect change, absolutely love it. it's absolute garbage actually but at least it's basically how DS3 already worked in practice and if you aren't a huge baby you can opt in to being a solo invadee

I love having those 200 rune items because I can just pop a few every time I'm missing a little bit for a level up, and then relax a bit more about death. Anyone found a way to get on the top of the plateau west of Liurnia lake? General hints only, not specific solutions.

At 71 Int, with the sorcery+ medallion and the meteorite catalyst, the big 70 Int, 55 FP spell does... 840. Pebble does 326. It's not even three pebbles. Also you can't cast it mounted as it has a whole elaborate casting animation followed by a slow-moving projectile. You can stand there waggling your wand and outdamage it while also being faster and incredibly cheaper by using the starting sorcery. Bravo, magic team from DS2, you've done it again! Granted, the catalyst from the same soul says it boosts that particular spell, but I don't have the high level somber stones to get it to where it has S scaling and bypasses the meteorite staff. It'd have to boost it through the ceiling to justify the cost so I'm going with No. Has anyone found the homing soulmass-like ashes yet? I get the second spell version and it sucks, but I was wondering if the ash version was left in as OP.
