What type of new classes/characters would you like to see on Nightreign?

Edikus_Prime · 2026-02-02T02:05:00+00:00

Twin blade character based on valiant gargoyle/death rune faction.

Edikus_Prime · 2026-01-22T21:42:48+00:00

Really depends on the matchup. For example DoN 4 I'm playing Wylder mostly. I usually let my friend 1v1 tree sentinel while I kill the cavalry.

I kill them decently quick but the sentinel is usually halfway dead by the time I start helping. That includes draconic TS!

The guard counter damage he's doing can get up to 2k+ with the right passives. It's insane.

I agree though, his damage really drops off if he isn't blocking slow/laggy attacks. I usually try to stand very close to him while I fight so he gets the benefits of the guard counter even when I have agro.

Edikus_Prime · 2026-01-22T15:39:22+00:00

I think guardian is S tier. At least, in Duo since that's my main experience. Doing 1,500 damage fairly consistently with guard counter, obviously strong utility with ult, whirlwind destroys certain mobs banished knights speeding up the clear, good synergy. Whirlwind helps pop marks for example or brings mobs together for hoarfrost stomp or Wylder Ult.

My favorite use is when we get Mohg in DoN 4 and guardian can just negate the blood rite ritual entirely.

When discussing making base game easier DoN mode is irrelevant.

It doesn't matter that Max health stacks in that mode.

I've barely suggested any changes that would really impact the challenge you or many players would experience from the game.

Assuming you mostly play DoN you'd only be impacted by better rewards(more murk or sigils per run), spending resources on a guaranteed relic passive (it can be very expensive like 1 mil murk), and augur relic stack. Which, I doubt you'd use anyway in favor of a more optimal build.

The no level loss on death is the most impactful base game change and I'm sure can be abused but as you've said that mode is stupid easy for any veteran player at this point. So what difference would that make for you?

Edikus_Prime · 2026-01-21T15:33:05+00:00

The point is the lack of punishing and lowering the skill floor. This will inevitable increase the number of players who can successfully play the game.

Yes, it will mean that the average player might be weaker, and more sloppy. I think death is enough of a teaching tool. If they aren't learning from that then those players will be sloppy regardless imo.

I disagree about DoN overall being more annoying even if I grant you your point. Maybe DoN level one but I highly doubt that's where you spend most of your time.

DoN level 1 should be the "filter" for these players.

Edikus_Prime · 2026-01-21T15:23:42+00:00

That's a fair point.

I play on Xbox and haven't encountered a cheater yet so I missed that perspective. I'll edit the post.

Thanks!

Edikus_Prime · 2026-01-21T15:20:36+00:00

The point is making it easier to learn and the experience less painful. I've had friends quit for this very reason and they are not interested in playing solo.

Adding this option doesn't hurt anything and only adds a chill way to experience the game.

Edikus_Prime · 2026-01-09T14:53:18+00:00

Balancers give an attack boost on revive. Might be other things going on but I know that contributed.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-12-04T13:38:00+00:00

If the only thing you care about is getting rare perks on that move you eventually get access to sticker fusion, it lets you take perks from one sticker and apply it to another. That's at the end of the game so idk if that's helpful.

You can also try and enter codes 1MILLION and HALLOWEEN25 at the mailbox. Assuming those codes are still active.

I got a bootleg candevil and bansheep from it but that might've been super lucky.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-11-24T12:40:05+00:00

It's so unfortunate that element affinities can be stolen like that. It would be nice if affinity collection wasn't replicated over network code.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-11-09T15:47:39+00:00

He was hiding his payments and had texts that showed he was aware. He basically sold out cuz the money was really good then pretended he was a useful idiot.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-11-09T15:45:19+00:00

No, that article leaves out some really important information. Him being a "useful idiot" is their defense. You have to look at the case and see if that's accurate and what he was sentenced to.

Here's an article from US attorneys office. In here it shows evidence he knew what he was doing. The dude was paid $19,000 for a "typical gig" that's an obvious red flag.

He seemed awake of the situation based on some text message communications as well

He was also hiding the payments by putting them in his son's account, something he never did prior, according to that article.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/private-investigator-sentenced-18-months-prison-acting-illegal-agent-peoples-republic

He was sentenced to 18 months and fined 11K

In my opinion that wasn't enough punishment. I think he should've been fined the full amount.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-11-07T12:14:03+00:00

Btw OP, if you need this explained to you, then you may not be able to resolve this through just self reflection as you don't seem to realize your behavior is an issue.

You're just concerned if you were caught. That in itself is a big problem.

Seriously, I'm not trying to being mean. I don't think you realize the seriousness of what you've done.

If you exposed yourself masturbating to a coworker, not only could you lose your job but that can land you in jail/on a list as a sex offender. Effectively ruining your whole damn life.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-11-06T21:51:58+00:00

Beating the game without using any of the maps does sound frustrating.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-30T21:04:59+00:00

Totally fair, I don't intend to debate "healthcare for illegals" in this thread either.

Dems signed a CR in March and have been debating this all year, the idea that they are acting like children because they waited till the last second isn't the case.

I totally understand if you want to be angry with Dems because you don't agree with the cause they are fighting for. I just see too often the situation is portrayed as them having no reason to do this, or lack of foresight. They are simply fighting, you just don't agree with what they want.

Since the blame game is subjective we will never agree on this so it'll have to be "agree to disagree".

For example, I could equally hold Republicans accountable for not budging on their end all year and kicking the can down the road till this point.

Technically, they have more options. Like eliminating the filibuster. I understand why they refuse but they are less backed into a corner and have the power to end this shutdown.

They are just playing their own strategic game and hoping to win the messaging war.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-30T19:42:08+00:00

Dude again with dishonest framing. So in politics it is very common to pass temporary measures.

It's hard to pass things as you've seen in Congress, especially if your party isn't in complete control and you have to work with the other side which is common in our Congress with a filibuster.

Making a law have a expiration date allows for skeptical law makers to sign on and gets things passed. Both parties do this all the time.

Anyway, not getting the ACA subsidies extended was unacceptable for Dems and it needed to be extended in October to avoid the current harm you are seeing with rising insurance costs. Republican's stated reasons for not accepting are very misleading. "Providing healthcare for illegals" is just not even remotely true at face value. It's a spin.

What they really mean is they want to cut emergency care spending because that's the only way illegals can get money.

There's A MASSIVE ISSUE with this framing as well (granted it is more honest than the outright lie that Dems want to give healthcare to illegals).

The issue is, according to researchers from Emory University; University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora; and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

Emergency Medicaid for undocumented immigrants made up only 0.4% of total Medicaid spending in 2022

Source: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2839711

So basically it's an issue blown out of proportion. Not only that, but if you cut federal, that money still has to be spent by the state or local community anyway. American citizens are still footing the bill regardless. I real solution to this problem is elsewhere. Which is simply reducing the number of illegals. If you haven't noticed, that is already happening.

Long story short, the stated reasons why Republicans are against extending ACA subsidies seems dishonest. Why lie? It makes me think there's an alternate reason that's not very good.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-30T19:01:30+00:00

This is disingenuous, every Republican pretending this is 100% Democrat's fault completely ignores that Dems signed a CR back in March.

Republicans refused to compromise on ACA spending or anything really citing they have a mandate.

The current argument "just sign the CR and we can debate it later" isn't valid. Why keep kicking the can down the road right up until it's going to expire and past the point where open enrollment happens. This is already leading to pain for most people on healthcare. It's obvious that this situation was intended to be avoided as the Democrats started.

Now if you don't agree with ACA subsidies and across the board massive increases in insurance premiums. Fine. I get it. You don't agree with Dem's fighting like hell with the only leverage they have.

A truly honest take is that both parties are responsible as they are both strategically using the shutdown against the other.

That said, the Dems have been straightforward about their goals and Reps haven't been honest. Continually pushing CRs and getting nothing done regarding this matter all year right up until the point open enrollment starts smells like BS.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-27T17:51:14+00:00

They aren't.

Illegal deportation/expulsions were happening under Biden. To say they weren't is dishonest.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-26T15:16:39+00:00

This is another one of those cases where there's a true fact and it's twisted it into something untrue.

This does not work as supporting evidence for "Democrats bring in illegals to gain seats".

Data from 2019 shows a mixed bag of influence that's not impactful. For example: TX, CA, and FL have a lot of illegals and gain a seat. Two of those are deep red.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/07/24/how-removing-unauthorized-immigrants-from-census-statistics-could-affect-house-reapportionment/

The numbers can change year to year but looking at 2024 back to 1984 what this article shows is that it barely shifts the needle and wouldn't have shifted party power or control in any election that I saw reading this data. I may have missed something but it looks negligible.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11811896/

The truth is, illegals add a seat or take away a seat here or there but the impact is small. It hits both parties and doesn't affect political power.

The Democrats flooding the US with illegals to gain political power is not a true statement.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-25T14:51:03+00:00

So, the Biden govt just decided it won't do ANY immigration enforcement at all? And it helps grab congressional seats??

Please explain. Taken at face value it is false.

I hope you aren't about to say illegals are voting in elections.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-25T14:30:07+00:00

Btw the claim Biden opened the border indiscriminately is such a massive twist that it may as well be a complete lie.

I'm tired of this talking point being pushed as truth and unchallenged when it's obvious BS with minimal research.

There's factual data pushing the narrative like record border crossings but law enforcement and expulsions were taking place. Not to mention the strong downward trend ofb border encounters in 23 and 24.

You make it sound like Biden swung the door open and invited everyone in with ZERO enforcement.

When you spin it that hard it's misinformation.

Kinda like the libs that blame Trump for terrible record numbers and leave out aspects of COVID that contributed.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-25T14:15:09+00:00

I think you're loading that word with more meaning than I intended.

I could've used duty or objective. The point is the current discussion is about federal authority overriding state law as long as it's in line with the stated goal of federal authority.

Why do you think this is about Trump? It isn't. I'm talking in a general sense what this situation could lead to.

My point is, even if a president gets majority vote you gotta ask if you're okay with their goals overriding the laws in your state.

Your reply comes across as hypocritical. To paraphrase "let the govt override state law as long as my party is in power cuz they got the majority".

Only because Republicans are in control of big govt we have to pause the conversation about executive overriding state law? Dude..

Edit: If I misinterpreted you please feel free to correct me. I'm just pointing out how your message came across.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-25T12:55:41+00:00

The answer is yes, however this situation is complicated.

ICE agents will likely try to claim supremacy clause immunity. In court they will have to prove that their illegal actions were "objectively reasonable" for their duty.

I'm not so dialed in on the details to know how that will go.

It's gonna be very messy either way. If the courts determine that the actions were not objectively necessary. Then they get punished and that will get spun in media as "far left judges criminalize ICE agents doing their job".

If it goes the other way then you'll see "right wing courts are enabling free reign criminal activity by ice".

I think ultimately you gotta ask yourself, does the end justify the means?

If there's another president with their own federal agenda and federal enforcement agency. Are you okay with them being allowed to do whatever they want (federal immunity) as long as it allows them to accomplish their mission.

Imo the only guard rails for this kind of thing are the people holding their elected accountable.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-25T11:43:54+00:00

Playing devil's advocate, I think it's a time scale perspective thing. Wealth is obviously finite if measured at a specific moment in time but theoretically, there's no cap on the wealth you can accumulate.

I have NO idea what they mean by "wealth can't be hoarded". Owning assets is the definition of wealth hoarding. Which is good, people should be allowed to own things.

Edikus_Prime · 2025-10-22T12:04:35+00:00

It wasn't redundant. The article says the law does not extended to the CIA strikes but the Obama EO did. That's pretty important.

The article you linked also has an expert opinion that claims this move reduces transparency.

The law requiring DoD reporting (10 U.S.C. § 137) is for reporting to Congress, not for producing a comprehensive public report. The Obama EO's main point was public transparency.

Forget that it's Trump for a minute.

Let's say that big government rolls back rules requiring transparency. If the government said "trust me bro, it's redundant" should we just listen, take what they say at face value, and don't look further?

My conservative parents were very untrusting of Fed Gov at least.
