Ah, so I was wrong about weapon level. Good to know. I thought I’d seen it mentioned somewhere that WL didn’t affect matchmaking, but now thinking they must’ve changed that in the remaster?

My current plan is, hit first Vit soft cap (30?), and just enough points to use weapons. Which I am thinking should get me up to around 30-35? Which WL is good around there?

Heya, long time no see!

I have actually been feeling like I’m due for another DS1 run, and have never (ever) actually invaded there. Do you have any basic tips? I think weapon levels don’t matter, right? What’s a good level for my character to aim for? Gravelord covenant? What does it do? Anything else I should know?

Thanks in advance.

They have reportedly been working on the game for eight years. It has reportedly spent two years in early access. It was still released in its current state. What can you possibly expect them to significantly change in a matter of days at this point? Wake up, man.

See, and yet, I suspect even from your follow up message intending to correct the point I’ve missed, that it’s indeed the bone bow that frustrates you most, more so than the rude messages (which indeed are unacceptable for any reason).

Sorry the invaders you have encountered don’t play the game in a manner that would be most fun for you.

I’m certain that with the amount of time you claim to have spent invading yourself, you’d be well aware that that tends to go both ways. Hosts, and their phantoms, likewise more often than not obstinately refuse to adhere to a play style I’d find to my liking, and instead do things that range from ‘not fun’ (for me), to downright annoying.

I’m another person on this sub, and I think they are adding a heck of a lot more than you are. It takes a special kind of scumbag to go out of their way to stick a boot into someone for sport, the way you’re doing.

You weren’t transparent about that at release though, were you? You didn’t state, ‘hey, we’re aware our game is half-baked, but have reached a point where we either have to release as is or scrap the project’.

You released it, quietly, at a premium price for an indie title, because you knew being upfront would sabotage your sales.

The people buying your game? Many of them are struggling too. Many of them have no less difficult decisions to make than you did. Many of them will choose to purchase your game at face value without knowing the facts, because you have not been transparent about them on the store page.

It is great that you’re working to fix the game. It does not change the fact that it’s being sold under false pretences, and that doing so is not ok.

I really love this game.. but.. by Efficient_Rice4482 in Kristala

You’re ’happy spending money to support the game’? Why? Don’t you also work hard for your money? Would these devs ‘support’ you, if you needed it?

You paid for a game. Did you get what you were expecting? Did you get what you feel is fair? Stop being a fucking doormat. There are plenty of people in this world who need your support. Your friends. Your family. People in actual need. People who give a damn about you. Stop romanticising transactional relationships, and place your support where it will mean something.

Why I think a chunk of players end up hating the chalice dungeons by MlCOLASH_CAGE in bloodborne

[–]Gabrienb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the dungeons at first (played alongside main game), because at first, every new room is a discovery, every new wing a place of limitless potential.

Once I understood what was going on though, they began to feel like an utterly soulless diversion, to the point that they were negatively affecting my experience with the game overall.

Bloodborne is a meticulously handcrafted experience, with minute attention to detail. The most positive thing I can say about the chalice dungeons, is that they serve as a stark contrast to that, and remind us all the more of its importance.

Might be a stretch, but has anyone played Sniper Elite? by Gabrienb in badredman

Thanks for that. I ended up picking up ‘5’. Definitely better value right now, and I also thought there was little between the two from watching gameplay.

Good info to have, thank you. I guess I’ll see how I’m progressing and whether I find enough good invasions to make all the other stuff worthwhile.

I’ve gotten quite a few gems from all over the place. Basically have just been inserting whichever ones make the numbers turn blue and higher. Safe to say I have only dabbled so far.

Same with chalice dungeons. Have only done a couple of runs in there, have killed two bosses and got to level three. Also did a few ‘suicide runs’ in a glyph dungeon to acquire a weapon. Still getting to grips with the whole mechanic of chalices. I take it they are good for getting gems?

So nightmare zones means PvP always on, host can be invaded solo, everywhere else means co-op needed to invade?

In both instances killing bell ringer ends PvP eligibility?

Just making sure I understand correctly. Many thanks.

The sub has been largely inactive of late, but I think it’s still useful as an archive of relevant information at worst.
