RBA Starblade posted:So I know you can get all bosses on one playthrough, and with reloads/saves all endings. What about all armaments/talismans/whatevers for the other cheevos? Is that doable in one if you don't gently caress up any npc quests (which I did but still)? I know one of the legendary weapons (Bolt of Gransax) becomes unobtainable after you burn the tree so you need to think ahead for that one

nopants posted:they dont know that stars are actually all astels, fellbeasts, and other monstrosities I don't think that's necessarily true. The stars are just stars. But beings like Astel do fall to the planet and are interpreted as "falling stars." But the Greater Will came to the Lands Between in the same way--Leyndell is built in what is probably the Elden Beast's landing crater. The Scarlet Rot is also associated with an outer god--it came from space, too. Most of the magical stuff in Elden Ring is eldritch star stuff, even the stuff that looks all golden and holy. Ranni's ending and goal are pretty vague but if you get all of her "miniature Ranni doll" dialogue she tells you about her plans to keep the the things out in the stars at bay. She's clearly aware of what's out there and doesn't want to invite it in.

Babe Magnet posted:Yeah, there's a sweet spot between people trying to pubstomp new/unprepared players and people who don't know the shortcuts and starts just now getting their hands on the superweapons and megaspells, and 50-70/80 seems to be it. What're good weapon reinforcement ranges for those level ranges anyways, +6/2 for caria and 12/4 or 14/5 for 80 stuff maybe?

I'm using +6/+2 for my level 50 and will probably go +12/+4 on my 80. I am basing this solely off of what level stones drop in the areas I want to pvp and what level of stones you can buy infinitely with bell-bearings that point in the game.

I'm dual-wielding the Ice Rapier+Antspur Rapier so everything I freeze gets Scarlet Rot. It's super handy vs bosses and tanky foes like the sewer Ogres.

So I didn't fully get why a late-game quest went wrong until I re-read this description: Rebirth works for you cause you end up with the great Rune that perfects it. Boc suffers the memory loss. Though, I don't fully understand why he becomes vegetative when all the weird academy children can manage to at least be total creepazoids.

I'm not done this game and I'm already playing it to a point where it's negatively impacting my relationship. 25 hours a week since release could well not bring you to the end, and that is, as mentioned, a relationship impacting amount of time.

I think people are generally going +17/+7 for level 80. I know I've seen at least one streamer doing that and he gets tons of invasions in Leyndell and Mr. Gelmir.

Dragon Lord Placidusax has to be the coolest boss in any Fromsoft games, and that's a high bar. I actually jumped out of my chair and cheered when I won with one hit left and no heals.

Harrow posted:I think it's because Boc's change was so dramatic, and he was already mentally in a pretty bad spot. I was one of the fastest to get bloody/recusant finger as soon as the game dropped and was trying to stay as low as possible while still taking out bosses for upgrades. I inadvertently got handed the +8 weapon super low (around level 20) and it didn't put the slightest dent in my ability to invade the starter areas even at a time when there shouldn't have been overlevelled people in those areas. I can't say for certain but I strongly suspect this title is a lot more generous with invasion level range than prior titles. I know for a fact there is pretty big weapon scaling for pvp to some extent- I had a level 3 friend red summon me with password/soapstone while I was at 50 with my +8/+6 and when I swung on him I'd only take out about a 10th of his HP, and he could still take big chunks out of me.

Like, the game gives a poo poo about your weapons to the point where it permanently remembers your highest one (another thing I really hope is gone but people testing it seems to imply that it's still in) but it doesn't care how strong your flasks are??? Also password summoning of any kind applies scaling to those you summon. At least, I know it does with yellow phantoms. Invasion PvP/Random red phantom summoning is different and just lets you go hog wild.

No Wave posted:Weapon level and character level are by far the most relevant and fair stats to measure in the game, it's not really arbitrary to determine PvP matchmaking off of it. yeah I get that, and some sort of balancing is good, I'm just mostly frustrated that the part of it that bakes your highest leveled equipment into your save file and you can't stash it (where it's effectively unusable anyway) to refactor your placement is super annoying. Well, that plus the game never actually tells you about any of this at all as far as I can tell, and there's no real way to test any of it besides using community hear-say or cheat engine to brute-force scenarios. That sucks too lol.

Are we even completely sure that Somber Smithing Stone and Smithing Stone upgrade levels are considered separately, and that a +10 somber smithing stone weapon isn't considered equal to a +10 smithing stone weapon for matchmaking purposes? There's precedent for them being considered equivalent with the weapon upgrade station in the church next to the start - it can upgrade both somber and regular weapons to a max of +3

This would be a very stupid way to handle it, but to be fair that doesn't mean it's not true lol. There's little anyone is completely sure of, as far as PvP is concerned. There's things the community is almost definitely mostly sure about, like that weapon levels matter at all, but a lot of it is basing data off of Dark Souls 3 and trial-and-error personal testing. My line of thinking is almost entirely based on "Okay, smithing stone miner bell bearing 1 lets you get to +6. Somber stone miner bell bearing 1 lets you get to +2. They must be equivalent in the dev's mind, right? Right???" Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Mar 22, 2022 |
