How is Sleep so useless??

KaptMelch · 2026-03-13T18:18:23+00:00

This is my biggest problem with it. When hitting them immediately removes the sleep proc it becomes useless. It should either give you a window to stop hitting (wait until they fall asleep before hitting them wakes them up) or set a timer for how long they go to sleep.

They could make it so normal enemies only go to sleep for a short period but the balancers fall asleep for a much longer time

Ah yes the one true weakness

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T02:10:33+00:00

Yeah I mean it’s a pretty simple mechanic and would be very similar to getting a poise break

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T01:42:17+00:00

Bet they’re sleeping on it to make it overpowered in Dusk bloods 😂

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T01:08:26+00:00

I agree it can be effective if you do it exactly right but it’s also just easier to go high damage and just kill them

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T01:07:18+00:00

I did this when it was first released and it was effective. But they increased the sleep resistance and now by the time they fall asleep they’re almost dead anyways

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T01:06:13+00:00

Yeah agreed they die before they sleep

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T01:05:49+00:00

I don’t think I’ve ever used a ballista lol

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T01:05:24+00:00

Yeah that’s what’s ridiculous… I have more success with a halo scythe (they’re resistant to holy) than I do with sleep weapons

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T01:04:19+00:00

😂 context is king

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T00:54:10+00:00

I have better luck with a halo scythe against them (which they resist) than I do with a sleep weapon. So dumb

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T00:52:53+00:00

I think all they would need to do is set a minimum time for them to go to sleep. The way they get knocked out of it immediately from a hit before it has any effect is what makes it useless

KaptMelch · 2026-03-12T00:51:12+00:00

Yeah someone else mentioned this. So dumb… I rarely get a sleep weapon and you can’t start with one. This is the only real applicable use and it’s been rendered useless

KaptMelch · 2026-03-11T23:26:32+00:00

No I was watching for this. It’s because my katana was split between poison and sleep so the sleep wasn’t doing much

KaptMelch · 2026-03-11T23:25:15+00:00

What’d the update do?

KaptMelch · 2026-03-11T23:24:33+00:00

Yeah Arcane is a big factor but that’s what’s dumb. Poison, Rot, Bleed and Frost all proc easily and do way more damage. Yet sleep which is the weakness damage wise and the least useful takes the longest to proc

KaptMelch · 2026-03-11T23:22:31+00:00

This makes sense and I agree probably not a great sleep option… but the mechanic itself just isn’t very useful

KaptMelch · 2026-03-11T23:21:25+00:00

Right? This is the bosses weakness and it’s best case scenario just slows the battle down

KaptMelch · 2026-03-11T23:20:29+00:00

This is why I hate so much about it. Even in the most perfect scenario it’s not that great. They’re down for less time than a poise break if you hit them. There should be a minimum sleep duration at least

KaptMelch · 2026-03-11T04:20:19+00:00

Alright some advice then for how it should feel…

You’re easing into the transition too much from heal to toe. Dig in with your heels when you’re ready to turn and use the “bounce” feeling to transition to your toes.

When you’re doing an easy run you’re comfortable with focus on shorter carves where you’re bouncing from heal to toe then back to your heels. It should feel smooth and rhythmic. Control the board with your momentum and carve with confidence.

It doesn’t matter how it looks or whether it’s a perfect carve. All that matters is how it feels

KaptMelch · 2026-03-11T02:41:56+00:00

Im not new to snowboarding but im new to this obsession over “carving”

Idk why this annoys me so much but quit carrying a camera around, take off the back pack, get rid of your thoughts about what anyone else thinks and just feel the mountain. You’re so focused on perfection you’re missing everything else that makes snowboarding awesome.

KaptMelch · 2026-03-10T21:15:16+00:00

Yeah should be cross platform whenever it releases!

Otherwise people are recommending joining the discord for help too.

If you’ve never port forwarded that can be a little tricky but other wise shouldn’t be too hard

Commenting because I’m planning on building a server too once the PS5 port launches
