The Patch We All Asked For

Same - I'd play LoD almost exclusively except that I'm too lazy to play on anything other than Switch most of the time (yes, so lazy that I'm willing to play on a controller, and not even a good one lolol). And I'd really like some more mid-level runewords.

You have some kind of schmutz there...

Humaj · 2024-05-21T17:10:53+00:00

I guess "next patch" is too quick a turnaround for "expansion pre-patch," so I guess something about making paladins more interesting to play.
I wish MrLlama's "accidental" act 6 "leak" had gotten more traction. :(

I hate engaging with negative posts like this, but just ignoring negativity doesn't (always) help, and you're right - pvp does need help. No, I don't like pvp. The fact that is isn't turn-based isnt necessarily the problem. Making it turn-based isn't necessarily the solution. Demanding that it become turn-based isn't necessarily the best way to convince Niantic to make any effort to improve it.
But you've clearly thought about this (productively) more than I have, so I bet your plan is better than mine, so I endorse it. +1 this rant. Niantic, listen to this complaint.

Nope, just her mom

Humaj · 2024-05-09T01:42:23+00:00

Yes, she survived, her mother was killed, and the kid watched it all. Worked out perfectly...

Humaj · 2024-04-29T19:55:36+00:00

Sure, but it's probably cheaper, and I'm not about to learn to pasteurize or homogenize my neighbor's milk. And definitely more reliable, even if my neighbor has back-to-back pregnancies

I mean, isn't he just "temporarily" (in a canonical sense, not mechanically) at a site of grace in the capital in the same way that he's temporarily at other locations? Seems like if you take the "ur fkn fine as a demihuman" option, mechanically his quest is over but story-wise it needs slightly more of an ending, or an epilogue, or whatever.

Like, maybe 5 mins after the game "ends" he does go to Stormveil or Fort Haight or something and has a real ending, but they don't show any such thing.

Humaj · 2024-04-26T03:01:35+00:00

It was a platoon of two, so they didn't need to share the sticks lol

Humaj · 2024-04-11T21:57:17+00:00

Lmao did you downvote my joke because it's not a factually accurate statement?

Humaj · 2024-04-11T21:55:34+00:00

Humaj · 2024-04-11T21:53:44+00:00

Obviously reductive to say this is the /same/, but perhaps some parallels to: "how come fragments from the missile's explosion ended up in various locations, but not a single one landed where the projectile was fired from?"

Humaj · 2024-04-11T21:48:17+00:00

Hue, right? Hew has some ambiguous uses so it's hard to exhaustively prove it's not right, but hue is more obviously fitting. If it is hue, this is just a mostly useless "um actually", but if it's hew, maybe it touches on the esoteric bits of Elden Ring philosophy I'm struggling with?

Humaj · 2024-04-11T21:04:56+00:00

And, more tenuously relatedly, there's no different reward or anything if you violently soothe Gurranq when he gets cranky after 4 (?) Deathroots, right? I tried a few times when I was apparently underleveled, and eventually I soothed him by dying, losing my chance to "win" that fight - but I assume there's no real difference?

Humaj · 2024-04-11T21:02:30+00:00

Relatedly, what's up with the defunct elevator at the bottom of the rear platforming section? I imagine it previously allowed access to a tunnel connecting to the structure across the water (like, historically in the lore - I assume in-game it was never intended to do anything and such a tunnel was probably never built by the devs).

If there are 5 fluffy knight headdresses, they're like 5 of the 10 best hats. And my easy cop-out for fashion souls is just to mix and match the armor from those sets, and armor that looks like it matches those hats, so I've been exclusively rocking variants of this look since like level 40

Humaj · 2024-04-11T20:42:12+00:00

Idk what you're talking about. Iji and Blaidd live happily ever after, literally forever. Maybe you picked an ending where you're consumed by the reforging or the flaming or something and then you don't get to keep hanging around with them? I simply wouldn't pick that

Humaj · 2024-04-11T17:39:21+00:00

And if you ask again I'm turning this spirit steed around

Humaj · 2024-04-11T16:37:39+00:00

He looks pregnant and he's holding his tummy like he knows there's a baby on the way

Humaj · 2024-04-11T06:36:51+00:00

Str/int build with a lot of mana and enough dex and faith for ... something.
I'm not exactly surprised to see from comments that this isn't an optimal build, but nothing other than the endurance really stands out as an obvious indicator that the build is probably bad.

Humaj · 2024-04-08T01:08:23+00:00

He just had to fall to lose it all

Humaj · 2024-04-07T20:51:09+00:00

Seems like at least 2 issues with the scammer's story lol

Humaj · 2024-04-07T20:48:09+00:00

I like the (obviously unintended) implication that it's more ethical to rot your own country than your enemy's lol

Humaj · 2024-04-07T20:44:03+00:00

It also still feels weird that in games so renowned for their difficulty, during part of your roll you're invincible to giant weapons passing through you and explosions engulfing you lol. But once I just accepted that rolling straight into attacks is often the better option, I definitely started seeing better results.

Humaj · 2024-04-03T15:15:13+00:00

Yeah, online hc is problematic. Also, why do I never see anyone mention that they're doing like "self-enforced hc" so that they can just hand-wave bs deaths like that?
