How do I loot the castle vault? I have the key, but there's an immortal guard (Azorka) who I can't do anything about, she just teleports me and cannot be attacked. People online say to kill her but no attack does anything, nor does throwing a barrel at her.

stev posted:I did this last night (at level 12, I'm taking my sweet time) and managed to get it to the last bar at least. Taking a scenic oxcart trip is fun. Even if you doze off, you usually still get to have a fun battle. Half the time you have to walk the rest of the way from some random spot, which becomes its own adventure.

This let me enter the vault. None of the other guards reacted to this.

The enemy variety and having like zero exploration rewards makes the whole thing feel bad after the initial hours. That’s why I’m not believing that the bad reviews are just MTX at this point. The game has actual issues, especially with performance, difficulty and variety. I’m probably more harsh than others but I was super hyped for this game and now that I’m near the end, I’m kind of disappointed. The advanced vocations, spear hand and trickster, were kind of lame. It just kind of falls apart after 20 hours, nothing wraps up satisfyingly either.

That's what some people say, but I tried a barrel from the kitchen and it also did nothing to her. I wonder if they patched that or something? e: the barrel hits her but it doesn't break her immortal stance. I wonder what the actual way to get in is? Should I wait for her to leave? Also, what change do I need to make for my fighter pawn so she wouldn't constantly climb monsters so much? I don't think that's really her forte.

The review bombing over mtx somehow became a meme and blew up. SF6 has much more intrusive mtx and I don't remember people giving Capcom much poo poo about mtx existing there on a full price game (though people did give Capcom poo poo over how much it would cost to buy every alt outfit). Performance issues are a valid complaint, and "no option to restart the game from the main menu at launch" was a bonehead decision they deserved to get called out for.

Maybe you're just not strong enough to flinch her with your throw? I don't actually know how that works. I was pretty high level (40s or so) when I did it.

doomfunk posted:also on fighter: am I crazy or does shield bash have a block component to it? I use it all the time and the double bash in particular feels a bit like a less effective perfect block at times. It would be in brand for Capcom to implement Monster Hunter style guard points into the fighter moveset

I wasn't feeling mystic spearhand at first, it took a while to click for me. They're pretty good at what they do. The augments for them are terrible though, need to level other vocations to poach theirs.

i've only been playing for like 10 hours or so but i haven't seen any microtransactions at all? like i literally have not been presented with any kind of screen or option to pay real money (or buyable fake game money) for anything at all at any point in the game

How long does it take for this girl to learn some drat magic so I can finish this quest. Edit: apparently her grandmother had somehow died, and this caused the quest to get stuck. In case anyone else has something similar happen. Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Mar 29, 2024 |

Is there a way to increase the charge speed of Forbeding Bolt on mystic spearhand? Any augments etc? I know there is a skill that charges it instantly but not that as I am tight on skill slots!

There aren't any, unless a goober broadly calls all pieces of DLC mtx, but these days I think most folks make a distinction between some optional crap you can buy outside the game, and mtx that's actively part of the game design and fundamentally inescapable since not doing mtx purchases still involves earning mtx currency through gameplay.

I dunno I feel like calling currency (rift crystals or w/e they're called) purchases "DLC" is misleading. It's all super irrelevant but it is there.

Someone was saying earlier that giving the wyrmlife crystals to Ambrosius was a point of no return, that's where I'm at right now. I figure I should probably do the Sphinx now. Anything I should know, bring with me? I always have a portcrystal on me, which should be good since I heard she can dupe items. Also if I can't do her bullshit quest of finding my first Seeker's Token, will that end the quest chain?

Sloober posted:get the spinny shield move, it breaks flinch and gives you enough time to charge tusk toss. i think it's called like 'impeccable defense' or something like that, the skill desc says it breaks flinch if that's not the name of it But then I can't use blink strike, the air strike, circular slash and gouging strike or whatever its called.  I just switched over to warrior though so I can't wait to kill monsters with a big sword while my pawn rains meteors down on everything. Also as I was getting ready to quit for the night a bar fight broke out in the town. A woman attacked a dude, beat the hell out of him, then she ran off into the night screaming "You'll get what's coming to you!" which is a shame because I wanted to give her some flowers. But she's probably dead now, those roads are full of skeletons.

imo the most hosed up thing about this game so far is that something like 95% of the "dungeons" that you find are just caves with maybe ten to five guys in them and a chest with five explosive arrows and 2000 gold in it. i don't know why they went with this direction. i feel like making half that number that were twice as long would have been a lot more enjoyable

I'm level 32 and still get killed by slimes in the waterfall cave because the mage in my group doesn't give me a fire buff for my weapon. No idea how you're supposed to deal with them if you don't have it. They swarm me, drain my stamina and then my health. (sorry, whoever is the master, I'll have to change her if I want to kill slimes!)

(sorry, whoever is the master, I'll have to change her if I want to kill slimes!) They sometimes store a buncha explosive barrels around where slimes are which can one shot them. Other then that it's entirely dependent on what class you play or if you've got an elemental weapon.

Nuebot posted:But then I can't use blink strike, the air strike, circular slash and gouging strike or whatever its called. Blink strike feels inferior to shield bash, since the 2nd upgrade at least has a decent distance charge attached. The shield spin also feels like an upgrade to sword spin due to the escape from being flinched. Both do less damage, but damage isn't the fighter's strongpoint. Warrior definitely feels like it was designed better, since it gets a ton of flinch resist on its moves. Going back to my armchair dev ideas, I think fighter should be nearly uninterruptible, or every shield button should have the 'break flinch' attribute. Warrior should also get a small self heal from the second-wind ability. This would encourage you to trade and enable a mage free tank class that would feel less like a full upgrade over fighter, both could be tanks with different feels. As is warrior feels almost like a straight upgrade.

To me the fundamental difference is in game design. Mtx I associate with the grander suite of dark designs. It's not just being available in game, it's that those games are designed around mtx on a core level. The dlc here are the kind of crap an mtx based game might include, but the game itself doesn't funnel you towards them. I would never want to buy rift crystals because I literally do not use the RC I have already, every pawn I rent costs 0 RC lmao. In an mtx game I would want RC because I have to grind for it to be able to do something fun like summon a pawn.
