From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

[Removal]

Go to 150 as a bare minimum, 200 if you are not into getting one shoted.

seems about right, I went in at 150 and get obliterated
definitely seems like they doubled down on some of the worst aspects of Elden Ring for boss design tbh. They need to fire the guy who keeps pushing the "ignites swords and leaps across the area" move

Sorry Miyazaki, hit the bricks!

developers take notes: this is what great gameplay looks like

10/10 another grand slam miyazeeka

the poor demon souls combat introduced in 2009 is really being stretched to the extreme.

If any Fromsoft game needed a quickstart character option to just jump straight into the DLC, it's Elden Ring. It does look good but I just can't be bothered spending tens of hours getting a character up to the point of being able to play it.

Japanese game developers view QuickStart characters as dishonorable & this stems from the old rpg days of Wizardry 1

Invading isn't as fun as in Souls as most ppl play the game in coop with 2 or 3 companions.

It's not even that, they changed the mechanics so invading only works on people with a co-op summon, except in specific zones. Too many players complained after DS1.

you sure about that? I recall invasions being fine 1 v 1 in the DS2 SOTFS days

Maybe it started in DS3, but yes, you can't get invaded solo in Elden ring unless you have a certain item.

Well, I have no idea about Elden Ring's lore. Is it just everyone being gay?

I have reached the porcupine Rhino and I have to say I am getting the impression that a good chunk of the DLC was done rather hastily. For example there are constant upgrade materials around the place but its all low level 1-4 shards, you know the ones I and anyone who can beat Mohg have an infinite supply of at the Roundtable hold. Almost as if the levels were made for early game and then level scaled to higher levels later on.

I also still cannot shake the feeling that the game balance expect me to have all the runes active all at once. Even with about 8+ blessings it still feels like I have about half as much HP and DPS as I should. I literary had to employ the rotten breath cheese strategy to take down some dudes because while they can take me down in a single combo I need about 3-5 good hits(which no longer stagger them) to down them.

Also the UI for blessing just screams "last minute addition". The sort of plain text with a number in brackets is exactly how modders implement their crap except in their case its because they have no better method but here it feels like they realized like a month before release that the DLC is overtuned for anyone who is not an insane overleveler and slapped in the blessings as a band aid.

Started the DLC at lv 130. Rellana is destroying me so much that I will move back to main game to get more levels... This DLC is quite hard and I like it.

It seems frost magic works well there. Use Mimic, the NPC summon. First, cast some Dark Moon to debuff, then just spam Ice Bolt and dodge. It's easier than doing it with other people, who are often dieing very very fast in two strikes most of the time. It's more than ever a dodge simulator. I've seen people enter there with heavy tank builds, and it doesn't matter at all; they get two-shot too. No point in most of the gear as its going to simply slow you down and you cant simply afford being hit at all.

I just want to find the ninja moveset.

Thanks, tried more 3 times. Managed to make him have 20% hp and then, he throwed a couple of moon spells that nuked me... I will explore more, farm more souls and only after it, fight him again. I played this DLC for like 6 hours and zero bosses killed. Honestly I like it, I will try another way.

Just beat Pontiff 2.0 at level 135 with 45~ vigor and 4 Scadutree blessings, I thought it was almost the perfect difficulty honestly. Only complaints were some of the double sword swings and the big moon attack were one-shotting me consistently despite all the other damage feeling fair.
Using the new light greatsword, took some getting used to how much it moves you forward on each swing, but really liking it so far.

This is why FS should only listen to prestigious Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2 fans. We know what's best for the franchise. All of the other fangirls are bandwagon-jumping pussies who came from shit like Fortnite. Only those of us who have been around since 2009 should have a say.

You are correct.

so it's ghey gaem. waiting for sdg to refund it, then buy it again.

Why would I do that? It's better than vanilla Elden Ring. I can't help that these people are too soft.

On the plus side after FS figures out that GRRM injected all this fag shit in their game they will never work with another white person ever again.
