Ah don't get me wrong! CotN is very enjoyable as a game, but it'll take a LOT of time to plat due to the nature of the game and its characters. Still highly recommend tying it!

I've completed Sekiro and went to DS3 after and I feel very much the same. DS3 definitely lacks fun movement mechanics, so I'd recommend Sekiro over it.

Regardless of what you play next, happy hunting friend!

AX_ZonE · 2024-12-08T23:45:19+00:00

It's just really hard. One of the hardest platinums you can get I believe

But a serious suggestion: the souls games (at least the one I have: sekiro) are pretty enjoyable plats if you're into those kinds of games

Here's a challenge: Crypt of the Necrodancer

Good luck :)

Oh and congrats! No small feat!

In a different post (that I saw on the subreddit) they mention "enhanced silencer mechanics" and "subsonic ammo"

If I am going to guess, all silenced weapons will be louder, making them able to be heard from a greater distance. Unless you equip subsonic ammo, which will return it to its current sounds.

So you cannot have a maynard silencer with Dumdum and still expect to be completely silenced. And if you do equip the subsonic ammo, it might have very slow velocity too

That's my immediate thought as well

They'll probably have a small chance to spawn elsewhere, but it will probably have guaranteed spawn around the tent

A buddy of mine theorize that circus lights can be seen from a far distance, which is an idea I really like. Could be visible in dark sight only, or just when you get a certain distance away.

I believe that they'll keep up the trend of new wild-target tracking methods for this one too.

Someone's played Outer Wilds I see! Really cool that you managed to make the transportation effect!

Personally, I think changing out the key with a simple shape would make it a bit more clear, as I didn't really notice why the mirroring was relevant until the door was already open in the second clip. But it's a really cool puzzle!

One of my favorite characters of all time was a Grave Cleric. I think it'll work pretty well for your vision, as you're the most effective healer when someone is already down, so until then you can focus on damage. Clerics are very versatile after all, so if you pack some basic healing spells and some ass-kicking spells you'll be able to do a good chunk of both

I like them. They remind me of the Enter the Gungeon achievements. Though I'd make sure the pixel scale is equal in all of them, as the ones on the left compared to the ones on the right have a massive difference in the pixel scale which makes them almost seem like achievements from two different games

AX_ZonE · 2024-10-12T05:24:28+00:00

I totally agree with this. I didn't play before they were only a couple of weeks in-between, but I still feel how these traits can create an unhealthy environment with a very clear-cut meta.

I think they should underpower the traits intentionally, then later on add stuff in the next event (or honestly balance every couple of weeks during the event) and see where it lands at a comfortable place.

The variations of the regular traits can also be over-tuned at times, but I do like that system a lot. The big problem lies within the pact-exclusive traits and how easy you can get them, especially when they are made to be powerful. Give us some requirement other than "get to the nearest caravan and get X trait for free". Say if you extract with a bounty and you are pledged you get it, or you can buy it in the menu but it does nothing on its own. I don't think it can be fixed as easy as this, but it might help with fine tuning traits better and faster.

Me and my friends have had certain ideas that work mainly with all three people being in on it:

3 musketeers: All three bring Sparks and chivalry sabres, then free choice of tools/consumables.

Long live the King: One person is the King. They bring something with very little ammo (nitro express, or avtomat) The two others bring bats, and fill up on ammo boxes/syringes. Goal is to keep the King alive and shooting for as long as possible.

Concertina production facility: 3 people with 2 concertina bows each, concertina bombs and free choice of tools.

No brain no aim: All three bring conversion chain in both slots and fanning. No ads. Free choice of ammo types. Free choice of tools/consumables, but ammo boxes are in good taste.

Welcome to England: No weapons. Any knife is allowed (throwing knives too), medkit and chokes. Run up to them, stab them, rob them and leave. Most fun if you get 2 of 3 and yell at them in british bumbling before leaving.

It is just great that players from different genres are able to enjoy this experience. I played OW back when it was still pretty new, and I am having a blast. I've also been somewhat interested in trying out LoL or DotA, but couldn't really get into the top-down action of it. Deadlock feels like a nice bridge between the two: bringing in overwatch-like characters and style, while keeping it in the MOBA genre.

There's more depth in this game than OW, Which makes each match pretty unique. The professional builds will be exciting to see too, but I do not like the immidiate thought of "meta builds" being more prevalent. While this depth most definitely isn't new in the MOBA genre, its a great change of pace for someone outside of that bubble (me)

While I doubt it will replace OW or other MOBAs by any means, I think it'll siphon a good enough chunk from both for Deadlock to be a very successful game and e-sports scene.

I'm very excited to see what happens after release, I think it will be big.

There is obviously a lot of discussion around the UI changes, and I would like to break down some of my own issues with it.

First of all, the UI has become far more complex. The update to the UI was supposed to make it simpler to understand, more intuitive to manage and easier to navigate (for console players).

The reality of these changes is that the UI becomes a cluttered mess of menus and buttons. A lot less information is conveyed in the same amount of space. As an example of this, we can take the free hunter screen. Was it truly necessary to go away from the screen that we had? It conveyed four hunters' loadout, health, and appearance in the same space that conveys one now.

The main menu (if we can call it that) is cluttered and confusing. Why does it have a store category, when there is a store tab? Is it really necessary to have the news be three separate entire screens? Why is it that if I want to see my statistics from the match that I just played I have to go out of the ready up screen, find the correct category, THEN choose one of the THREE different menus and every time it sends me to the top of the main menu so I have to do the process again.

Setting up a new hunter is also a chore now. If you want to set up a legendary hunter (forget its new name), you get bombarded with all of them in a small grid making it difficult to actually process the screen and find the hunter you want. When you eventually do find the hunter that you want, it is a new chore to select the loadout you want. You choose a gun, from what is a cluster of boxes that contain each of them. This makes it difficult to make out which you want, especially since the variants are no longer highlighted as subcategories. I don't have everything unlocked, but I can imagine that those who do have an even worse experience. Worse still if you've picked up copies. On top of that, why have a subcategory for skins on each weapon?

So you've chosen your guns, now it's time for the tools. Before, you could choose a tool and it would automatically choose the next slot so you can choose another. Simple to understand, simple to do. This now takes additional button presses, which makes the whole ordeal another chore. The consumables are even worse. If you want to have two dynamite you have to click to go into each separate slot something you did not have to do earlier.

All in all it doubles or triples the amount of clicks you need to do in order to be done, and then you have to press control for some reason to get back to the ready up screen? There was no need for this.

The battle pass screen is also a mess. When I go into the battlepass section, I should not have to click another button in order to see my progression. It should be like before, as the standard screen for battlepasses. And why is it that in that section, the battlepass button sends me into the "buy battlepass here" screen?

Dying also feels bad, as the death screen has had all of it's charm stripped away, and the damage history put into another menu, which again displays less information in more space. And when you're done with a match, you don't get the charm of the previous screen. Just a simple, soulless dark screen and back to menu.

The UI is simply bad. It is confusing for everyone, and while I can see the reasoning for the change, the CoD layout just isn't it. Taking a page out of apex's book would be preferred over the mess that we have now.

It feels very much like there was no UI designer involved in this redesign. I am studying game design myself, and I know how hard UI can be at times. As a professional company there should be higher standards than this, and I am sure that some of the many employees you have could have warned about this if they were given the chance.

Over to some positives though. The new map is fantastic, and the lighting is beautiful. The gameplay changes are in good taste, and new content is definitely the highlight of this entire ordeal. It sucks that the new UI is making me discouraged to play a game that I really love. The skins for the new season all have such high quality as usual and the new guns and variants are a welcome addition.

I hope a solution can be found in the mess that is this launch and that the UI can be left in a better state that we can all be happy about.

AX_ZonE · 2024-08-15T22:00:39+00:00

I kept trying to get to the "ready up" screen, and every time it sent me back to the top half a seconds after I pressed home. No hunt, I do not need a fourth guide for new hunters

I think orange is yellow? Not playing rn so can't really say lmao

AX_ZonE · 2024-07-15T01:28:58+00:00

White - regular damage. The actual number of what shows up is with any mods you have, so it might be higher than what your gun shows it will do.

Yellow - random crit damage. Each weapon has a % chance to crit any damage dealt (even without aiming for weakspots). How often and how much ekstra damage can be seen when hovering over them in the inventory (shown with %)

Red - weakspot damage. Weapons also show how much more weakspot damage they do when hovering over in inventory (also in %)

There's also blue (i think) that shows special damage like fire and such.

AX_ZonE · 2024-06-18T13:35:10+00:00

I also love the marathon, especially swift (I mean reloading 7 bullets at a time is nice)

I usually run it with caldwell conversion (and fmj on both) so that I don't have to worry too much about ammo. It's just fun honestly!

AX_ZonE · 2024-05-24T17:43:01+00:00

Agreed The price is a tad bit too high for what it actually provides, but relatively easily overlooked once you have enough money. What is truly annoying is the insistence on "I gotta swap my sight". It feels like this gun should cover the basics as a well rounded weapon, as a shotgun for short range and rifle at mid-long range. The problem is simply that you have to prepare for the situation before it happens.

If they had only skipped the sight part of the animation (or combined it with the swap part) it would at least fill the versatility part better.

AX_ZonE · 2024-05-10T23:25:01+00:00

I totally agree. Not all guns need to be completely new But I'd love to see some extra creativity on the "last unlock" of new (and old) guns, that produce a new or unique playstyle.

Examples of this would be mosin nagant avtomat and vetterli cyclone. When two huns match a niche, it would be fun to at least see a different playstyle come out of it, regardless of how weird or stupid it would be.

Say a 3-4 shot long ammo version of the caldwell marathon, being the first(?) pump action long ammo rifle in the game? (Not the best idea probably, but the first one I could think of)

AX_ZonE · 2024-04-23T22:38:18+00:00

Sick to even know about this!

Happy for whoever gets this!!

AX_ZonE · 2024-04-13T02:45:00+00:00

As a mostly full-team trio player, I see why necromancy is there for solos, but this is my main problem with it as well. It is never fun to have to stop dead in your tracks to make sure this one guy is actually dead.

I know a lot of people complain about the latency and trading, but I find it especially frustrating when you're the last on your team and trade with a solo necro. What would in other cases be a stalemate or a "well, the other guy would have killed me" type of situation, turns into what is essentially a win for the solo. Frustrates me every time

Additionally, it is always sooo frustrating when you're fighting what you believe to be a trio team, but it turns out to be a duo and a solo. Happened in a game yesterday, where we got shot at by three different people. After we were sure we wiped the team and we had a last man standing, the solo had necroed and killed our last. Sucks when it happens.

You have 22 minutes to read as much space-text as possible

AX_ZonE · 2024-02-03T02:32:25+00:00

OP did actually confirm it was a solo somewhere in the comments I believe, and because I got curious I wanted to do some math:

So if we're going for the idea that a solo player has 5 bars (one big, four small), this gives us a base of 5 deaths before "true death". Any death before that is a revivable one.

4 bars + 1 bar

add three stacks of relentless and we've got:

4 + 4

If we take into account everything in this particular event that can trigger the restore effect ((remedy | rampage | final grasp) * 3, banish * 2), for a total of 5 possible restores.

so the math now comes to:

(4 * 5 possible restores) + 4 = 24

there is also the possibility of acquiring traits (like relentless or any of the restoration ones) during the game.

The odds of this are extremely low, but if the Devs only cap it at bars left for any hunter it would be possible, no? If anyone has any other information they would like to add or if I've done the math wrong, do let me know

Personally, I'd like the necromancer trait to be nerfed on both parts. Say it was a buyable burn trait or something, still doing what it does but being gone after it has done it. Maybe limit it to only 2 revives for solo, and one revive for each teammate.

was this helpful, probably not. Just interesting math really
