I missed out on the original Drgaon's Dogma in hopes of getting the PC version which never panned out, but will definitely be picking this re-release one up, can't wait to get another Dark Souls like fix from this. I also noticed in one of the recent clips there was an "online store" option, was this always the case with the base game or is this something new, any idea what will be sold from there?

So I just started playing this, (Why oh why did I wait so long, it's so :rock: wheres my PC port Capcom!) anyway I'm getting overwhelmed by random loot and my inventory filling up, does anyone have any advise? I've been pretty much dumping everything into the inn's to free up weight and only keeping like 2 lanterns, and some poison cure herbs and similar stuff for emergencies, then selling all foods at vendors because I have yet found a reason to eat something and they will just rot otherwise.

I feel like I should be doing something with all those fur pelts and bones, herbs, etc. etc. but I'm a horder by nature in these kind of games and don't want to sell anything that might be useful.

I'm also having money issues, any tips on that? I made it to Gran Soren at level 10, changed my guy to a warrior, and pawn to a ranger, bought a 2-hander and now I'm flat broke. Is there some kind of money farm I can do at this stage of the game.

Good to know, and that answers the other thing I had on my mind which were quests, which have been piling up by the dozens, I was worried there was some sort of cap limit on how many you can take, also escort quests seem bullshit for the level you can get them at, I started a few, then later went nope nope nope. I'm also a bit worried about missing quests that later become unavailable, which has me focusing on side missions before I go back to story missions.

Traveling is becoming a bit of a pain now aswell, how and when do I get fast travel, I just have DD:DA and no imported save.

Thanks for the beginner advice, also I just want to be doubly sure here, when replacing pawns for newer pawns all items on them besides equipped gear goes to your storage right? I don't want to be loosing tons of stuff if this is not the case.

I kinda hate to ask but is anyone willing to help nudge my pawn along a bit by tossing some junk at it, she's a level 24~ ranger in basic starter gear. I have no idea how the online works for my own pawn as I don't think anyone has hired her yet so I'm not sure what happens after the fact.

Are there an penalties to keeping around lower level pawns? I heard somewhere once that if they are greatly higher than you you'll get less exp, but what If I'm in my mid 30's and the pawn I have is in the low 20's? (they are seriously that good I can't find a replacement)

No, it has to be from the full game.

On the PS3, it's not that difficult to download an existing save file from GameFAQs and make it your own. Not sure about the X360.

Does this actually work? I tried looked into this before I started and I kept seeing that the saves were tied to your account and it couldn't be done like that.

Crows Turn Off posted:

I did it before I played Dark Arisen. Worked for me.

Basically, here are the steps (you can find more detailed steps elsewhere):
1) You download a Dragon's Dogma save from GameFAQs. Right now, this save is tied to someone else's account.
2) Copy a save from your own PS3 on a USB. Doesn't matter which game you use.
3) Download and open BruteForce, a program that will let you edit PS3 save data.
4) Open your personal save file in the program, and locate the PS3 system info and your user info. Copy this down.
5) Open the DD save file in the program. You'll edit the console and user information to match your personal save file.
6) Save it, and the DD save file now belongs to you. Use the USB to copy it to your PS3.
7) Start Dark Arisen. It should locate the DD save file and give you all the perks. Start a new game.

Ugh, I wish I knew that before, I'm already 20+ hours in though so I don't think I'll be starting over even though unlimited ferrystones does sound nice.

They better not gently caress up the F2P aspect, extra storage space, character slots and cosmetics are fine but don't go putting quests and loot behind pay walls (who am I kidding, they'll gently caress this up).

So this being an MMO is comparable to other MMO Lite games like Phantasy Star Online, Monster Hunter, and Guild Wars 1. I'm okay with that.

^^ Why would we have EU and US trademarks for the game if it wasn't coming to the West?

Also some more bits of info.

quote:

In an interview with Famitsu, producer Matsukawa and director Kinoshita share the following comments:

-Development started with the basic desire of taking Dragon’s Dogma and making it playable in an online environment.
-The game couldn’t be made in tandem with Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen and was therefore pushed back.
-Capcom contemplated a monthly fee, but chose freeo-to-play in the end in an attempt to get more players to try it out.
-Though paid items are present, the game will still feel like a proper Dragon’s Dogma game.
-The story is completely new and there are no character connections. (Editor’s note: We take it this means no character connections to the previous game.)
-The game world will initially be the size of what players have come to expect from -previous games, but will expand over time to be three times larger in scope.
-Parties are formed in the lobby, after which players depart for the field.
-An effort has been made to emphasize the strengths and traits of individual classes, but -it’s not balanced so strictly that players need to be super meticulous about party makeup.

Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono also adds that the game’s development is benefiting from the cooperation of Sony Computer Entertainment.

Well I still doubt this is staying Japan only. Home consoles and PCs aren't exactly extremely popular over there like they are in the west.

NarkyBark posted:

I'm trying to think of what could be behind a paywall without messing up the game, and I can only think of two things:
Character classes, and zones/dungeons. Possibly some sort of premium pawns, but I doubt it.
- Good F2P: Paying for skins and other aesthetic stuff. You will look cooler but that's about it.

- Decent F2P: You can pay for an extra character slot or a bigger inventory. But if you just focus on 1 character you can level him up and get gear for him at the same rate as paying players.

- Bad F2P: Upgrading you sword with this +1 damage bonus will take 72 hours. OR you can spend 20 Capcom coins and upgrade it now!!

- Bad F2P: To unlock the next skill you need 2000 experience points. Every boss fight will give you around 10xp points. Have fun grinding!!!!. OR you can buy our XP boost pack for just $5.99 and level up NOW.

Seven minutes of Phantasy Star Online Monster Hunter Online Dragon’s Dogma Online footage. Terrible video quality though, not sure why they would record the thing on a poo poo phone or whatever.

Some key points:

quote:

Up to 100 players can join a lobby.

It’s possible to match between servers, as well as warping to a friend’s server.

Quest board requests change every day.

There are various types of quests, including simple requests that players can challenge solo.

Players will receive “Main Quests” to advance the story at special locations. The main story begins when players are tasked with solving the mystery of why the White Dragon was turned to stone.

You can jump while in the lobby.

There are communication elements like motions and set phrases. Some of the set phrases are voiced.

The map is three times the size of the first game.

Fields include the forest, lake, mines, and more.

In the video, the player’s party consists of a Fighter, Shield Soldier, Priest, and Hunter.

Orcs become an important enemy players will find themselves fighting many times during the story. Orcs themselves have many variations, with their lowest ranks appearing in the gameplay video.

The Orcs have a stronghold, which players invade as part of the story.
