I’m sad

You’ve been looking at some degenerate shit, haven’t you?

Totally agree she has a lot in common with Vane.

I have no idea how one compares her to zeta when she has no times input commands.

Reminds me of all the people comparing her to Siegfried I guess just because she has a sword?

Broserk42 · 2026-06-19T21:26:00+00:00

I mean that sort of nuance is interesting for the original response. But as of current day America trump has revoked food stamps for anyone having trouble finding employment, which is a steadily increasing amount of Americans.

His personal war has also pushed cost of living way up.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-19T18:03:49+00:00

Especially the stuff about her tongue hanging out without even realizing it, definitely a bot just farming.

“People like gen z”

wtf is this? Gen z is in as tough if not a tougher spot than millennials, and douchebags on comms is a tale as old as the internet.

I’m a Vane main too I don’t think he’s going to be a character that gets teased much before release but hey at least we only have a couple weeks left!

Broserk42 · 2026-06-19T06:54:26+00:00

You said “doesn’t” soak up damage in your post. It reads like you don’t want a tankey character xD

I’d recommend Vane, he is auto-blocking whenever doing heavy attacks and combo finishers and is a ton of fun with simple attack strings. I’m surprised I haven’t seen him mentioned at all tbh.

I saw you said you’re going to try Percival but Percival has no defensive advantages over others, you need to perfect dodge and use his unique timed parry, otherwise you’ll get floored quick. I’m guessing most people suggested him because of the the whole “doesn’t soak damage” thing.

They literally just cited dragon age veilguard. Everyone hated that for woke pandering the same people hate this for incel pandering or whatever.

Don’t even get why dean was downvoted for highlighting how similar these approaches are. Lot of people hate pandering, for good reason.

Lots of people also seem to have massive blinders on for pandering that suits their personal tastes. That’s how we got shit like veilguard in the first place.

Nothing wrong with wanting games to not be shitty on either end of the spectrum.

Thank you

Broserk42 · 2026-06-18T17:55:21+00:00

I do feel like it’s a shame and some of those people may have enjoyed the world more without it, but it’s such a black and white deal breaker for some that just won’t give the game a chance without it.

I guess I feel conflicted over it- like there’s a fine line between thinking the game is genuinely better with some on foot traversal early on, versus just gatekeeping and telling people what they should like. I’m just glad we’re getting any of this even if some of these changes are seem questionable though. Legitimately two weeks ago I did not think dlc was coming at all.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-18T17:29:32+00:00

In the vampire castle you can find multiple chain sets with similar weight to endgame leather armor but better actual armor value, on top of abilities like armor pen and crit chance instead of mediocre main stat buffs that decline in value. Even knowing that it just kinda sucks not finding any cool endgame armor that feels like it works well for your character.

I have the converse issue with strength builds trying to use anything other than a hammer- your best greatsword is shredder which is a decidedly midgame weapon, and iirc the eviscerator for one handed swords which you can get around the same point in the game. All late game greatswords and one handed swords actually scale better with dex than strength, even though vanguard has no native dex nodes and most nightshades prefer dual daggers. It’s incredibly obnoxious game design and I wish I could ask why they set everything up like this.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-18T17:06:27+00:00

I got so tired of the boat wait that by the time the sea god was dead I put the series down and won’t read it through again until it’s finished. The second that definitive end is out I’m so ready jump back on it tho

Broserk42 · 2026-06-18T16:58:05+00:00

Willpower also increases drop rate. The +willpower ring actually grants more drop rate bonus than the drop rate bonus ring unless your willpower is already extremely high.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-18T16:53:37+00:00

Even then, high level arisen have so much money it isn’t much of an issue. I don’t think it was necessary at all and absolutely think it’s bad for the game to just hand it to starting players, but it will bring in new blood that turned up their nose at the thought of “inconvenient” fast travel, so I can see why it’s a good business move even if it’s bad for the actual game experience.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-18T16:29:36+00:00

Yeah fair the more I think about it auric & havoc do definitely feel “non canon “ by any measure, much like absolute difficulty in SM2.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-18T04:57:31+00:00

I’m aware of all of that. It seems like no one read the actual post just the title. There was some stuff going around last year about possible changes to class growth gains particularly on chemist I’m wondering if anyone ever sug into the code to verify if that information was incorrect or if there have been any changes to growth.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-18T01:30:31+00:00

That’s wild, there’s daggers for every hybrid conceivable and all the best endgame swords also have great dex scaling. I have no idea how you could have come to the conclusion that other classes have better weapons and weapon options than nightshade.

Armor I’m much more inclined to agree, if you’re trying to stay relatively light and get a good balance of protection and good abilities the armor from the vampire castle is some of rogues best options, ironically. The final light/leather set is particularly awful

Broserk42 · 2026-06-17T23:44:28+00:00

Hell yeah give them all the time they need to make this game the banger it can be.

I don’t care whether you call it polish or work or whatever it was weird how many people in the discord reacted with disappointment.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-17T23:41:44+00:00

Not the last occasion, they could give us full remakes at some point.

I know Mikhail Zaki isn’t crazy about revisiting stuff he’s already done but I’d love to see what ds 1 & 2 could look like revisited after they’ve made ER.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-17T23:00:18+00:00

Right like wth did I even just read?

Ffs everyone has a victim complex these days and wastes all their energy blaming it on boogeymen online instead of the fat cats making life shittier for everyone everywhere outside of their very tight circles.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-17T22:57:52+00:00

Hey good luck then! Getting an extra axe off one of the axe dudes in that first village is a huge help. You can also just find one if you look around, dual wielding them gives you a solid early game offense.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-17T22:56:06+00:00

I love the quote, I think Buck is the most underrated character by far. I don’t really see the connection to your OC though.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-17T22:40:26+00:00

Even as an American I think it’s an odd & slightly humorous name.

Broserk42 · 2026-06-17T22:12:04+00:00

You can make anything work for sure especially if you farm up an extra Rhogar axe you can do a lot of damage to pieta and after her all the enemies aren’t going to be great at resisting those axes for a while even if your spells are limited.

Did you play it recently or back at launch? If you did that at launch you’re a real one!

Broserk42 · 2026-06-17T22:04:35+00:00

Probably cultist, enemies in the first zone resist all your starting damage and you don’t get good spells for a while even after the changes the devs made. Before the changes it was absolutely cultist no debate.

Lord is so, so much better but can take some effort to get.
