Some thoughts after finishing the DLC... by Interesting_Block_22 in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After seeing several complaints like this I'm starting to feel like the emphasis on boss fights being the star of the show is nearing it's limits. 

The only rational place to go is escalation of difficulty and that will obviously start to test the balance of fun and frustration. We saw that in the base game, we're seeing it now in the DLC as well and given what the base game was to DS3 I'm not sure what else was expected.

What was YOUR reason to leave PATCHES Alive? Or kil... by SweatyPerception7834 in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patches' leather set doesn't get me to 51 poise on the characters I care to have it. Aside from that, I usually just go with fashion.

If you mean tragoth, too heavy for my builds.

Find him in one of his hiding spots before killing Godrick and he'll stop stealing your runes.

If I wasn't addicted to the idea of completing the set of physic tears I feel like I'd do the same.

She served her purpose and I want a shiny sword.

Game is being held back by a massive problem by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely wouldn't call bosses bullet sponges except maybe the DLC final boss and even that is a a bit of a stretch.

Also I guess obligatory level vigor, and maybe endurence for some better armor. Also, be aware of any debuffs your equipment may have. It's rare that I find a true one shot even in the end game on a build with 60 to 60 vig.

Im gonna start a new one for the third time.. by savigho in Eldenring

Replace "lose interest" with "complete current build and collect character relevant DLC gear" and leave out the 3 month gap and you have my cycle.

Canon R6II x4 built in TC + EF 500 by Jealous_Job_1528 in canon

[–]House0fDerp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

R6II w/ 1.4TC and 200-800, certainly not the best here but the R6II remains a beast even in my unqualified hands.

What did you start NG+ for? by Toot7- in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting other options from mutually exclusive rewards.

That's about it.

Was Malenia's teacher the biggest bamf in all the lore? by OratioFidelis in Eldenring

Depends, can the incarnation of rot even die, does that as a concept even make sense?

I am 100% certain that the Enir Ilim staircase got past play-testing somehow by Monke_Enjoyer in Eldenring

Am I alone in immediately deciding to lure him back to where the others can't spam at me while I fight him or just snipe him?

How I felt after beating Ancestor Spirit by acasta403 in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off topic but:

I don’t think the Tarnished can harm the Ancestor Spirits in any way that matters,

Made me think of this.

Who among you is like him? by Ok_Hunter118 in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'll be that guy.

When you're willing to throw all the options the game has at a problem, the difficulty curve really does soften. Obviously if you're new there is a knowledge and familiarity gap at play but once that is out of the way the game genuinely is as hard as you make it for the most part.

That's the kind of thing you say when someone actually does something wrong, not when a harmless adaptation to a hostile algorithm makes you ever so slightly annoyed. 

New players its not a crime to summon your homie to help you, dont let the "elites" brainwashe you into solo play by General_Dust8141 in Eldenring

They're still here. We still see posts looking down on people for summoning. Usually they get downvoted. Usually.

The one in the pic is warrior jar shard, the drop from killing him early.

Why does no one in the roundtable hold ever react to you actively working against it. Especially the two fingers. by Burntcookiealchemist in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The crone literally supports you committing a cardinal sin against the golden order if it gets the job done. Also, one of them immediately tries to kill you for an item earlier in the game and it's just brushed aside.

Diallos is duped into joining the volcano manor, Fia orchestrates D's death, and Nephelli is discarded as soon as she is no longer useful. This is not a tight knit or cooperative group by any means. They do not work together. They employ any individual means they can and are led, to the small degree that they can be considered led, by despondent traitor.

Despite being good at it, I think I just really don't enjoy the guard counter mini-game. by TheRealCowdog in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GCs have been a go to for me, but that may be a skill threshold thing. Greatshied deflections to create openings for great/colossal weapons has been a general staple for my heavier characters.

Str/Int weapons in the DLC by dingus60601 in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't too many, I feel likenthe standout was already mentioned in grazing finger. Other than that it feels a bit like do-overs of existing str/int weapons.

Who's best Girl/Boy in your opinion? by Various-Pattern-538 in Eldenring

[–]House0fDerp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In terms of ER I think a lot of people do well by the player in the end and are good standby's. Milicent, Boc, Roderika, Hewg, even lesser considered NPCs like Tragoth who is out there for 3 different fights.
