Came for the PC portVargs posted:Warrior would be a lovely, lame class even with 6 abilities. I struggle to find 3 that I like when I'm forced to max it out for the crazy good augments. Mostly just use light and jump attacks. Adding another 3 skills that I never use wouldn't make it any better. By far my least favorite vocation. Stayed to fight you! Seriously, though. Warriors are poo poo, but I can't stand to play any other classes. Warriors scratch my risk/reward itch without simply being glass canons. They do have some serious weaknesses that no other classes have to deal with, other than Fighter. They're so much fun to play, though. I find myself simply spamming the same poo poo with every other class, but Warrior, even if it isn't by much, at least has the illusion of some dynamic skill based gameplay. If nothing else comes out of the PC modding, 6 warrior skill slots is the only one I am really hoping for. They don't "need" it, and it won't really change their performance. Nothing they have will really address their range issues, and so many of their skills cover roughly the same ground being nothing more than another "fun" way to do the same thing (knock something over). But really, being able to bring Indomitable Lunge, WhirlWind Slash, and Corona Slash, while still having Arc and Exodus, and one skill slot to spare?  Those screens posted earlier are fantastic. Losing that post process blurring kinda changes the visual style, but drat is it nice to actually see some detail. Kiggles fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Sep 16, 2015 |

Captain Novolin posted:you're just poo poo with other classes, mixing it up is super easy for all of the ones i played (mystic knight, assassin, strider, even sorceror to a point) Has nothing to do with performance and has much more to do with lets hang out posted:catching a coackatrice with the warrior's big charge attack and killing it in one hit is the best feeling in the world It's all well and good to try different poo poo, but Warrior personally yields a greater sense of satisfaction when you land that big damage. None of the other classes compared. Casters came sort of close, and Ranger wasn't too bad, but inevitably I'd go back to my warrior and immediately have much more fun.

SHISHKABOB posted:How does this game scale up in difficulty as you get into more advanced levels? I'm at like level 41 mystic knight and am working on the second set of Chamberlain Aldous quests, and I have a pretty easy enough time with everything. As long as I pack enough curatives ya know. Nothing scales. Once you hit level 20 the difficulty just tapers and doesn't stop until you hit post-game. At that point it takes a fairly big jump, but you can do any of it at your own pace so it isn't too dramatic. As mentioned, BBI is in another league and generally maintains a good balance no matter your levels. Anyway, if you're using some overly effective skills you might want to just try some others. Some skills or combinations of skills can really drag the game down. Focus Bolt with staffs is a good example. Incredibly powerful, but doesn't really require much from you as the player. MK's Magick Cannon can be the same way if you tend to over use them. Since you're usually so limited by number of skills you can carry it happens a lot, so sometimes you just have to straight up drop some of those skills to keep the gameplay involved. I personally have trouble with it, because doing that feels like intentionally crippling myself. Wariror and Fighter don't quite have the same problem, so while playing as them is technically intentionally crippling myself it doesn't feel like it. If you're still having some fun, but it just feels like you're running through the motions, then stick with it. BBI is super rad. If things are really getting tedious though, then just try another class. Some are more involved than others. That can mean somewhat slower progress, but I really have a lot of difficulty staying interested as anything other than the pure Red classes.

Caphi posted:Speaking of MK, fighter skills used with a magic sword use the same strength/magic calculation split as the sword, right? To keep it simple, yes. A skill that has you connecting with your weapon will typically just apply the same damage formula as a normal attack would, and draws from the Primary or Secondary Offensive stats of your status screen, depending on what weapon is actually connecting. There is usually a slight modifier on the damage to balance slower/more stamina hungry skills, but it applies to the final damage to guarantee that slower or more stamina costly skills are worth the effort, while those multi-hit skills that often give a ton of i-frames will sometimes have negative multipliers. Again, all after enemy def has been considered, so it's just a minor balancer to see that stacking poo poo tons of damage doesn't unfairly favor the multi-hit skills. For those skills shared by MK and Fighter, the formulas are identical. For the purposes of using hybrid weapons vs buffed weapons the results are also no different. If you could hypothetically have a hybrid weapon with identical total stats to a buffed weapon, the total damage would be identical. The only thing worth mentioning in that hypothetical would be that you could still buff the hybrid and gain additional Magick attack, technically making it superior, but I digress. The hypothetical is almost never possible anyway. Outside of those pure melee weapon skills, like the one's MK and Fighter share, things can get complicated.

Gestalt Intellect posted:Really the main mod I'm going to want is one that un-nerfs autonomy. I never got dark arisen and I think reading how much autonomy got nerfed discouraged me from it more than it should have. I really enjoyed being able to be sufficient without having a gaggle of jackasses constantly running in the camera view and babbling stuff nobody cares about. Provided, it's single player, so breaking your game however you want is fine. I'm just suggesting you roll with your own acknowledgement that it shouldn't discourage you as much as it did. Autonomy is still one of the single best augments in the game. paco650 posted:MK sounds like the way to go. Was wondering if it was worth it to pack on augs like Sinew (for more curative room) or Egression (to not be murdered by ogres and maneaters), or if the standard "more ATK, more DEF" works just as well. Egression is nearly required. Not quite so much for vanilla content, but I very very strongly recommend it anyway. Autonomy, obviously For MK Articulacy. Buffs are tedious as gently caress. Casting them faster helps mitigate that. That and since you said you wanted to roll solo you'll need to get your casts out quickly. Acuity instead of Clout. A lot of MK's abilities are hyrbid, but they scale MUCH better with your base Magick, and at least in the case of Magick/Greater Cannon, your base str doesn't even matter, making the benefit from STR augs suspect. I assume the same is true of Perilous/Ruinous Sigil/Stone Forest. Additionally, a lot of your shield counter damage is going to end up being Magick anyway. Clout is still really good, especially if you would rather play MK more like a Fighter that can survive spell damage. You're super pressed for aug slots, I recommend taking a pass. Buff your weapons and deal a little more of your melee damage as magick with hyrbid weapons. Use the slower, heavier hitting sword/mace skills if you do. They usually have higher damage multipliers that can actually help you punch through target armor. Burst Strike, Antler Toss, Downcrack. Most recommend Full Moon, but I have trouble really getting damage out of it. It's mostly for the iframes. Gravitas if you're going to get Stone Forest, so you can sort of stand there and cast it while just tanking damage without (usually) being interrupted. Inflection is BUGGED in the current versions of the game. Maybe it will be fixed on PC, in which case it would REALLY go along way toward helping MK be more of a caster tank, but as is it more than doubles incoming damage. Be advised. Ends up being a ton of augs, and there are still tons you probably want to consider. I am a big fan of Bation/Awareness when they are stacked with Autonomy because of how they function mathematically. Can practically make you all but immune to a lot of incoming damage. Of course, not getting hit is better than just not getting hit as hard. Unfortunately, MK has some troubles cover all of it's bases. Your augs are going to depend a lot on your playstyle. Sinew and/or Leg-strength can be really important, if only for your sanity, because heavy armor is heavy. You can just help mitigate this from the character creation by making a very tall, very heavy character. Longer legs (height) increases your base movement speed. Heavier characters can carry more weight by default. Otherwise, movement speed isn't such a big deal for MK and combat. Kiggles fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Oct 3, 2015 |

Im_Special posted:I'm not sure what is wrong with that aspect ratio in the Youtube video, but for those worried 16:9 4K+ resolutions have already been confirmed. It is clearly a rushed video. Some wonderful jank going on during the cyclops scene of a guard getting caught up on the monster's arm. That and all of the cloth textures look painfully low res (i am assuming they just haven't gotten around to them, because a lot of other textures look great, if only by comparison). The strange framing probably just has to do with them rushing to cut and encode the thing to get something out to kindle a little bit of mind-share during the holiday rushes.

Things like hybrid classes, which could crash other people's games, would be 'barred' from upload to the nexus (I think it would upload, but would never actually disseminate to other players). Maybe some for stat modifications, like pawns with 5000 base strength, but you'll still probably find things like pawns with 1000 base in every stat.

Wrist Watch posted:
 But really, it's because you're so used to seeing DD at low framerates that your mind is already accustomed to 'filling in the blanks'. Another way to think of it is that after XXX hours, your brain is so acclimated to visual updates at 1/30th of a second, that when it starts getting updates at 1/60th, the perceived effect is things running in fast motion. Actually playing the game should moderate this, since your input through the controller will still occurring at expected time frames. If you're a passive observer the effect can persist for a long time, but when you actually start playing the game it should clear up in a matter of minutes. At least as far as the 'fast motion' thing is concerned. You will probably still have the 'soap opera' effect for a good while. Kiggles fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Dec 3, 2015 |

Im_Special posted:Thankfully it's in Krautian. Good assortment of settings. Not hugely exhaustive, but there's even a field of view option on there. It doesn't really list what the view angle is. Looks like it will only add about 15 degrees (not even a big deal, being a 3rd person game) but still very nice for a console port. Guessing only FXAA, rather than multisampling, but these days, I'm gonna go ahead and say... meh. Anyone with power to spare for AA can just as soon enable DSR to supersample, and anyone who can't, often have trouble with even shader based AA anyway. Which really only leaves the absolute bleeding edge of stacked high resolutions with multi-sampling. SMAA would have been nice, but at least there are some scaled FXAA options in there, instead of the "AA = on" option that we see a lot. Given the options, it may even facilitate playing on the weakest of potatoes, and still optionally let people who would have been happy to sacrifice the PS360 visual quality for better framerate. Shadow/Object/NPC/Grass stepping. Even dof toggle. All in all, that's better than I was expecting from an otherwise niche game that everyone thought was dead in the water. Not bad at all, and a solid option set for modern PC game generally. The AA options are probably the only negative. All assuming things like the quality steppings mentioned are worth a drat. If we're talking console draw distance as the max for those settings... well. The video does explicitly demonstrate some pop-in, even at max settings. Particularly with trees. Some of it seems farther than console, but probably better reigning expectations. So all in all a "Good PC Port", rather than "Three Year Late Definitive Edition". Pretty much best case the lot of us were hoping for. So good news. Oh, and menus can be navigated with mouse, so it doesn't have the MGSV-itis. I think that covers it for everyone who is reading internet forums but can't watch videos because they're supposed to be working. vv Finish the cycle of the eternal return.

mirarant posted:The secret best way to play is of course to dive into BBI as soon as you get your pawn and never leave. Basically, yeah. BBI is the strongest point, and while it takes a little doing, is perfectly playable from level 1. It quickly becomes manageable in normal fashion by the time you hit zombie pope, especially if you do a small handful of cursed item chest runs to get some gear, or cash for gear from Barroch. Only hang up is getting an Everfall/first tier DA weapon so you can actually start damaging things, but it isn't strictly necessary, and usually you will blunder upon one either way.

Every class can. Warrior, even with modest weapons, still has substantial knockdown that can pull drakes out of the sky by jump attacking the tail, which gives a big window to land an arc or lash on the heart. Fighter can burst strike the tail to similar effect. It's one of the better qualities of the game; that with a little finesse, you can kill almost anything at almost any level. Can be enormously difficult prior to level 20 though. BBI is a different story, since DEF values are so high, but few things in Vanilla are so strong, or without weak points to effectively bypass armor, that you can't squeeze out a win with some persistence.

Vargs posted:No Berserk items is a bummer. I don't care about Berserk, but some pieces of those armor sets looked nice and went pretty well with other equipment. Still only having one save slot is also super dumb, especially since you can't completely bypass it this time by creating multiple user accounts on your console. That means you only get a single slot to upload a pawn to, and can't hire your own pawns from your other save files (which was incredibly useful for farming RC). You can probably use Family Share to get multiple accounts, little different than setting up multiple accounts on PS360.

Dexo posted:I wonder if the Berserk Items are actually gone or "Gone". My bet is they are Gone, no quotes. Since it is licensed content it is kinda sorta really important that the content is actually removed from the game. That said, if only the vendor entries are dummied out, but the 'listing' for the items is still present in the item database, coupled with the models not present, it may technically be possible to effectively re-implement them by stripping the content from PS360 versions, and doing a little fiddling to either CE the item entry on to your character, or possibly XML edit to re-enable them on the vendor. You will need to do some work on your save data file to get it working on PC. If they actually delisted the Berserk gear from the item database, then any work getting your save on PC is going to be a big task, nevermind do nothing to get you the berserk equipment.

Bitterblack is incredibly fun as a fighter or warrior. Just remember that you do not have to deal with every single encounter or kill every single NPC. Skip those that are either too difficult, or just too much of a pain (lich/wights). They can be slow going compared to other classes, but there's something really satisfying about going toe-to-toe, especially if you are not very familiar with the dungeon yet.

Genocyber posted:Oh, fair enough. I never do Hard Mode because of that'; it's too hard during the beginning, and too easy for the rest of the game due to that EXP/gold increase. Hard Mode doesn't really affect BBI too much. BBI damage is already increased 225%, and Hard Mode doesn't change that. The only thing it really influences is stagger/knockdown thressholds (which does much fairly big difference in your damage output, given the damage bonus from hitting vulnerable enemies), and the XP/gold drops.

gibbed posted:Content restoration mods will only really work if the content is still there. Since this is Dark Arisen, I doubt Fly Into Free is still in the data, and Japanese audio is also likely to be stripped just to save on install size. Berserk outfits (which I don't think were ever DLC?) are more likely to still be there, just removed from the shop data. Flying Into Free was successfully modded into the 360 version since it could easily be unpacked. Simply adapting the process for generic data replacement for whatever changes there may be to file formats should be plenty possible. Berserk gear is another story entirely, given interaction with the rift/online components. If it ends up crashing other people's games if they aren't running whatever hypothetical mod is necessary, then I'd say forget it. Shooting for replacers would probably be ideal, and potentially not much more complex than music replacers.

CrusherEAGLE posted:I'm hyped for this game. Anything I should do to prepare for it? I literally can't wait and want to do anything I can to get myself ready by the time it launches. A good start would be to reign your expectations. The game is a rough diamond, and after a bit of an initial "wow" with the prologue and first couple encounters, it can seem to lose focus for a long time. Additionally, a lot of the "wow" factor is supposed to be in the action. So instead of high speed cinematics or something, you only have the potential for cinematic encounters, not a guarantee. It may be a while before the combat mechanics and visual design elements come together in one of "those" moments. That, combined with it sometimes taking a good while for the character classes to hit their stride means you kinda need to enjoy what you can get before the game suddenly surprises you with mixture of action and visual design. Once you get "that" moment, you'll understand how the game is trying to play out like a badass fantasy movie where you're acting as both the hero character and director. So if prepare means anything, it should just be to give yourself enough time to let it sink in, and be ready to inject your own take on things. The plot in particular is very basic, and while the finer points aren't readily explained they're there. It can seem pretty lazy, the quest objectives in particular, but the perk is it gives you a lot of room to sort of write your character into the game world and come up with your own adventure, rather than strictly follow the "main" quest as the 'Arisen'. Then you get into the Dark Arisen Bitterblack Isle content and it basically throws that second paragraph out the window and is non-stop gently caress rad dungeon crawling.
