I've been off the past couple of days so I've been just eating this game up, so far some basic observations are the thief lasso ability is extremely good since when upgraded it pretty much yanks everything to you where you can execute it almost immediately. Initially I was kind of worried about not having range on the thief but honestly you just don't need it with the lasso. The skyward attack for warriors is almost a guaranteed knock down if you hit something big in the head with it The warrior downward attack that you get when you're just standing on a monster as opposed to clinging is also extremely powerful if you do it on like their head or whatever. Also, something that's just very funny is if you use the radiance augment from ranger, everybody shields their eyes when you walk next to them with the lantern Sloober fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Mar 24, 2024 |

Not sure if some of you haven't figured it out but you can use a health item when you're definitely dead if you're fast enough on the trigger, like game over isn't instant. Been ranking up spearhand and I'm not sure I like it too much, sometimes abilities just don't do any damage, which seems like it might be a bug. It does have a very fun movement attack tho that really, really shines in Drake fights, and a way to instant stagger regular sized guys. On the side of something extremely funny happening I found a shallow cave in berttal and something like 12 lizards clown carred out of it. At the time I was still spearhand and got to force throw like 5 at a time into other lizards. Very niche use ability though Ytlaya posted:Somehow I have yet to find a single Seeker token thing, even though I've explored a pretty large range of places. The AI is pretty good, my main gripe is pathfinding can be very bad with verticality and they can get literally stuck. Fighter is pretty fun, and perfect blocks can make some fights go much much faster with the opening it can make Sloober fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Mar 25, 2024 |

In DD1 I would have access to a roll at least. Archer currently just feels like half a class, which is a pity because offensively it's still awesome. Use the jump kick, it gives you a good amount of space and can interrupt charge or jump abilities that things use on you if you connect with it

toasterwarrior posted:Thank God I'm done with Archer, I loving hate aiming with a controller. I don't like double dagger fighting styles but Thief is a great way to mentally jump back into the greatest strength of this series: climbing monsters and stabbing them repeatedly in their vitals you can do that with a warrior just make sure to be in standing animation on them instead of clinging then you can stab them in their vitals in a brutal downwards stab with a huge sword. really the only reason to cling is climbing or using the thief cling-specific skill. the game makes you a bit stickier than you might think when standing on guys so you simply dont get tossed at every opportunity, like i stood on this dragon's head for a good long while giving him an intense acupuncture  after it bucked me off i did the heavenword lunge into his dome and knocked him down. those skyward attack moves for warrior/fighter are extremely good, dont sleep on them Phlegmish posted:Me, it's Warrior that I'm not feeling. You just stand there for hours charging up your attacks like you're Goku or something. Yes, it's very powerful, but by the time you release it the monster is probably in a different area code already. I'm probably playing it wrong, but I think that playstyle just doesn't fit me. VVVV i find spearhand's range stuff to be somewhat annoying to use since it's either a charge up (albeit fairly strong, like the magic burst attack) or somewhat underwhelming like the little magic darts, the force throw is very fun when you have stuff to throw and does fairly good damage. a good half the range stuff i use on spearhand is the R1 ability Sloober fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Mar 25, 2024 |

GreatGreen posted:I have to be honest, my impression of this game is getting less positive by the hour. I'm like 10 hours in and have fought probably hundreds of one of like 4 "normal size" enemy types. Bandit, goblin, lizard thing, harpy. Oh wait there's "slime" also. And 3 "big enemy" types, cyclops, bull thing, ape thing. It's starting to get boring. do you use barge on the warrior and are the only attacks you use charge ups? there's specific places those are geared for and warriors have more than charge up abilities, on bargain bin goblins and bandits a barge and an overhead chop will lock them enough to kill them. as far as the lock on goes i dont know, i dont think it needs it - what part of the lock on do you like in something like elden ring? the game is pretty smart about using the sticky soft-lock on it has and warrior charge abilities can be redirected if a monster moves to the side a bit. you can also use goring charge on the warrior and you basically just run at them and can pin them to a wall and doesnt have a charge up period. i think approaching it like a fromsoft souls game is a bit of a mistake that some people are making warrior takes some getting used to but honestly the biggest thing for them is There's a Time and a Place. their basic attacks are very strong, not everything needs a savage lash Sloober fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Mar 25, 2024 |

Maybe that's it. I also can't seem to pull off the special jump backflip attack, my guy just does a high kick like in Mortal Kombat instead of the backflip if I press Y/Triangle. this is going to sound very stupid and condescending (im not trying to be) but are you actually jumping when you do the kick because you have to use kick while jumping for it you can also craft the special arrows with sticks and certain other items like sunblooms or whatever. just go into combine/experiment with sticks and see if you're carrying any of the right stuff Sloober fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Mar 26, 2024 |

gotta say it was very funny to get an escort quest for an old man with a bad back that walks as fast as your out of stamina stumble and get accosted by a complete menagerie of things like stone lizards, bandits, harpies, goblins, skeletons and a gore minotaur. (the game functionally implies you're supposed to carry him which is significantly faster), what's even funnier is that when he scrambles to get away from stuff when you put him down he actually moves at a normal speed. that mother fucker just wanted a big lady to carry himMeatwadIsGod posted:Same, and I unlocked another vocation in a similar way recently.

MeatwadIsGod posted:Wild how some people have their pawns built. I wasn't paying close enough attention and hired a mage that was at max vocation but with no staff equipped so all she did was throw punches lol. I didn't realize this until I was halfway through an extensive cave network for a side quest, and afterwards I ended up fighting a gryphon, ogre, wolves, and hobgoblins all at once. Took a lot of healing items but we managed it and I couldn't get rid of that pawn fast enough. i feel like there's something weird about pawn saving that some things dont go through, like you change your pawn's job and it autosaved that you changed its job but it doesnt do it again until you've rested at an inn, so in the interim your pawn may not be geared or have skills on. there's enough of this that i think that's a game issue rather than a person issue. whenever i change pawn jobs i gear it up/skill it up and rest at a house because of that thought
