If you'd watch the video above for more than a minute, you'd learned that abija defeated Nameless King without dying. Just saying.

 

[Multidirectional]

Lock-on breaking is fucking annoying and I always hated it. Hell Swarm being obnoxious is not reason enough to defend that garbage.

 

[abija]

"I took damage from an off screen attack due to camera issues but that's perfectly fine"
From drone.

I was deliberately positioned in a way to be behind the head of the dragon so how much the boss is visible was completely on me. I also knew the hit was coming but wanted to trade. Are you arguing From should override my intentions and force the boss always in view? How would that even work?

Considering you call the camera a "serious flaw" of the game, you should have no issue providing actual examples to prove your point.
Or at the very least point to some implementations that solved these issues that plague action games since forever (because they are designed for shitty gamepads).

 

[Lyric Suite]

All games have "flaws". There isn't a single game in existence that doesn't have a bit of jank in it. Not that it matters when you are talking to someone who thinks there isn't an aspect of the game that isn't a "serious flaw", even things which are close to being near perfect.

 

[notpl]

They are, yes. I and millions of other people have beaten every game in the franchise without issue, so there's obviously nothing critical going wrong. In hundreds of hours cumulatively put into these games I have spent maybe ten minutes being annoyed at the camera. That is an acceptable rate of failure.

The player dying to a CORE MECHANIC BREAKING in a situation where it should never break and has been solved by other games since the PS1 era is a critical failure. It's akin to your breaks failing in a car in terms of game design. And it's solvable and it's not been solved by From. What possible argument can you have for not giving infinite lock on range during boss fights? They're 1 on 1 with a single other thing in the room. There's never a reason for lock on to break and a boss to hit you from off camera.

ER does give infinite lock-on range, though. It breaks automatically where it thinks you might benefit from not being locked on anymore, since the boss is leaving the arena or something, but you can just press the button again to lock on to the Elden Beast or Bayle or whatever without incident. I genuinely have no idea what you're complaining about here. I guess I could see taking umbrage with the game making that assumption, from a UX standpoint? But it takes a momentary twitch of your thumb to turn it back on, and it genuinely is helpful to not lock on to bosses in some instances.

 

[Hell Swarm]

Are you arguing From should override my intentions and force the boss always in view? How would that even work?

Are you arguing the lock on feature should randomly break on you because er... just because it does okay? If you want it to break you push the button to break it. Other wise it should stay locked on until the enemy is dead.

It breaks automatically where it thinks you might benefit from not being locked on anymore

Locking onto the boss is a player choice. The game forcing it to break for any reason is simply wrong. If I want to lock on then I should stay locked on. It's an essential part of using a shield and it breaking randomly is not acceptable.

I can find more but this is from 2017. From had 5 years to fix the camera for large enemies and they didn't. So.. Who wants to defend this retarded shit? Seriously.

After a while this phase of the fight will be incredibly easy to the point where you don't think about it. Which is good because phase 2 is a trip

My man Cvdf3- knows what's up

 

[abija]

Are you arguing the lock on feature should randomly break on you because er... just because it does okay? If you want it to break you push the button to break it. Other wise it should stay locked on until the enemy is dead.

But it doesn't break randomly. And having it break instead of having your camera spin all over because a fast enemy or ability make the lock point go suddenly behind you is certainly preferable. You also have control over this behavior with your positioning.
Same for range indicating you're probably not going to reach with any spell or other ability.

Those are conscious implementation decisions, not random bugs.

I can find more but this is from 2017. From had 5 years to fix the camera for large enemies and they didn't. So.. Who wants to defend this retarded shit? Seriously.

"Just fix it bro."
The fix is using both lock and free camera versus big enemies because there's no fix to having a horrible view from some positions when you lock to a specific point of a huge body.

 

[Hell Swarm]

After a while you don't even taste the shit any more! Why do you care if I take a dump in your sandwich!?

The fix is using both lock and free camera versus big enemies because there's no fix to having a horrible view from some positions when you lock to a specific point of a huge body.

And yet Gundam Breaker 4 just came out with large enemies and the camera and lock on there works fine. Never breaks and never shows you a butthole.

Gee. I wonder why people think From fanboys are fucking retarded.

It seems like it breaks in specific situations, rather than "randomly," and for a purpose.

 

[abija]

Gee. I wonder why people think From fanboys are fucking retarded.

You mean a camera that constantly adjusts distance zooming in and out, a very mobile character that can attack an enemy from most positions making the lock on a lot more flexibile? There are huge tradeoffs there, do you really think something like this would work in souls? https://youtu.be/5Fm4fZFzUOM?t=4191.

I'm gonna take an exteremely wild guess and say the company that also made armored core could decide which one fits better which game.

 

[Silverfish]

The game cannot be balanced around summons because that would make solo play impossible and would go against the point of summons (which is to make the game easier).

You're hyper-focusing on online co-op. Spirit ashes are also summons.

(it's an advanced spell of course it should feel powerful do you guys even know how mages work in fantasy settings?).

Yes, I know how mages work. I'm the guy saying broken shit is fine.

 

[Cryomancer]

I'm re playing ER and want to play as a Night Mage RP build. Recommend a good backup sword, preferentially curved(katana, scimitar, etc). I used Moonlight Dark Moon Greatsword in my normal mage run. But it would't fit aesthetically my self insert char.

The DLC has quite a few new ones. I like the star-lined sword, but the freezing perfume bottle and the new eternal-sleep sword are also great backup weapons for a mage.

From the base game:
Bandit's Curved Sword can be farmed very early on and is a decent option for low attribute investment (11 STR, 13 Dex. So could be 2 handed with 8 STR). Can be buffed with Magic Weapon or blade grease.
Bloodhound's Fang is great for damage with capacity to carry you a long way if you put in the attributes to wield it. As a Somber Weapon it's really easy to upgrade it to +4 early and be ahead of the power curve that way. Can also be buffed.
Moonveil is still absurdly strong and can be reached relatively early if you can beat the boss guarding it.

A bit later on:
A Keen Scavenger's Curved Sword if you're already putting a chunk of points into Dex to reduce casting times. Can be buffed.
Wing of Astel's Ash of War is very strong for an Int based character. Weapon looks goofy as hell IMO.

Re playing the DLC and now everything is much easier. The lion boss, I took hours in my first run and now, beat him in 3 tries. Did they nerfed the game or I become less shitty?

Rellana's Twin Moons

• Increased attack range for the first and second attacks.

To be honest, moar like Rellana's Twin Apples

I can understand why they reduced the knockback, there's probably not much weight behind them.

[Lyric Suite]

Well, might as well just post what i did before the patch. First, i did a try with max scadu blessings, which, i'm not sure exactly how people even had trouble with this guy he folds super easy at scadu level 20:



The following is with no scadu blessings (so Hell Spawn can fuck himself you can see the massive difference in damage, literally half without scadu blessings) on a try where i was testing some rot gimmick i was fooling around with which is a bit sloppier than i was hoping for. I got hit once by one of those lights, and i couldn't pull a Square Off after he landed from his nuclear orbital bomb because he happened to land too far away, so i was reduced to swing impotently with an R1:



I was also still working on how to roll through the after images after the gravity rocks attack. I found the timing wierd on mid roll, but i was close to getting it right just wanted to be safe here because i was testing just how long the rot tick would last.

I guess there's no point for me to do a no-hit video now? What a bummer just couple more days for fuck's sake. I mean shit i was even close to figure out how to roll throgh this fucking thing lol:



Imma look if there's a way to roll back the patch this is pissing me off.
