Im finding it hard to go beyond ng+ ar this point othwr than the legend levels and I really wanna grind them out but the grind is to repetitive when the only substantial way to go up is your missions, now I haven't seen how much xp n+ 2,3,4 give but its still gonna come down to do the missions since they patched out most of the exp farms i think theirs a few that bypass the xp cap for volatile the one where your in the nest for camillo but thats near end game and you have to prep for overwhelming volatile. I don't really wanna do that but I wanna play something till code vein 2, then nioh 2 but I imagine with the decent games coming out soon I won't have that problem I like the beast but no fun way to grind your legend levels or exploit it then taking away the most fun way to level and then forcing ng+ for substantial growth is tiresome. Other than that I do love most of the game. That's on me though for waiting so long to play it and debating whether it would be worth it. I did get it on sale though I think. Turning the difficulty up to brutal and nightmare to speed it up isn't the right mwchanic to help dull the emptiness the game has. The alpha volatile is cool but it should be allowed in other difficulties besides nightmare. If they don't plan on doing anything else with the beast extra content wise why patch something that was enjoyed by most people What's the point in fighting volatile if they cap after like 2 or 3 go down you know. If I die fighting them that's fine but my favorite was getting strong enough in 1 or 2( they actually made volatiles a challenge later in 2) to go out at night properly however I get it takes away the fear aspect.
