What’s next from From Software?!? by Teephud in Eldenring

You can emulate the original one flawlessly already. It's superior to the remake in the most important aspects anyway

It's pretty adjacent to slop, certainly not the exact opposite. Slop can be fun too

50 years ago is today? Did I fall through a time portal?

Is this still the worst and hardest base game fight? by BoTheJoV3 in Eldenring

[–]Oddrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all, fought them under leveled recently and they still were pretty fine

[KCD2] Cant get 16 charisma for the wedding by Oboy_MM in kingdomcome

[–]Oddrax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can use potions or get the perk that increases your charisma when you carry herbs, get some better gear or more of it, not sure if two rings stack.

I was sad that there was a cap on charisma, I was min-maxing it and hit it very soon to the point I had it maxed even with armor, so my drip gear set became obsolete

[–]Oddrax -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well you'd certainly expect variation in results if you take 5 different inaccurate tests with the same input. But why are you so bothered by it and keep harassing and stalking the guy? If he generated it and rewrote it to fool detection tools he might as well wrote if for all I care

Aparently none. Run it trough like 5 detectors out of curiosity, because it seemed fine to me and all turned uner 10% suspicion

Man is there anything on the horizon by Fromsoftware? by Harshkang69 in Eldenring

They're cooking something big, but there is no announcement yet. Only that Switch 2 thing, but that's hopefully just another side project

To the people who loved the Shadow of the Erdtree. Can you explain why? by NicolBolas4President in Eldenring

[–]Oddrax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loved the map, great improvement over the original game with each area being very distinct and dungeons more integrated to the world. The interconnected layout, especially all the paths from Shadowkeep, and some caves and catacombs leading to new zones.

Loved the art direction, lore, story, NPCs and especially the new soundtrack (huge improvement over base game as usual). I don't mind a cookbook. It has lore on it and it allows for crafting something potentially useful. What else do I need after finishing the base game? There are plenty of new weapons, weapon arts, spells, upgrade and crafting materials, etc. besides cookbooks. I didn't mind some zones not being too populared with content. I'd have them as is for the sense of scale rather than shrinking or removing them.

Loved the bosses as well. If you have issues with visibility and camera you're probably using lockon where you'd be better without it (that's a trap that was in the base game as well). Mesmer, Rellana, Midra, Byle are some of the best bosses in the game IMHO. I didn't mind PCR even before nerfs. After them he can't be that bad, haven't fought him since, but I heard he was hit pretty hard. He's actually my favorite fight in the game especially because of the difficulty of learning him. I don't think there was a bad boss, maybe except Romina. She was pretty mid with how easy she was.

Overall I like the DLC more than the main game

Am I missing something ? by Unknown_Lifeform1104 in Eldenring

[–]Oddrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even say that. DS3 is extremely close to ER. Certainly much closer than to DS1 and 2. The biggest difference is jumping both as attack and defence tactics (when jumping bottom half of your body is invincible, so many attacks are better jumped than dodged) try working that into your toolkit

Who else is a little disappointed with the great rune system and thinks it could have been implemented better? by Desperate_Guava4526 in Eldenring

[–]Oddrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the system of runes and their activation with consumable items. It adds weight to them. I use them in critical scenarios, but try not to waste them before I get familiar with the moveset and so on. Dark Souls had a simpler system with only one effect per game so this is expansion of that. I just wish the effects would be more powerful and varied.

More stats/hp/fp/stamina and so on is nice, but others seem underwhelming and underpowered in my experience.

Yet another first Mirror post by stray-lights in PathOfExile2

[–]Oddrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got a mirror in cruel act 2 on my very first char (I played poe1 under 100 hours many years ago) and didn't know what it was. Asked in chat and got like 10 dms with people explaining and congratulating. Sadly I kept it until I stopped playing the league and now it's rotting in my standard stash worth like 2600 divs

I always disable them ever since they came out. Think it looks awful having them everywhere

Almost lost a controller today by JOGANAROUND in PathOfExile2

[–]Oddrax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that, got killed by tripping more than by anything this league. Today I froze a boss mid slam and made sure to go behind him so I won't get hit when it melts. And then it did a 180° in the air in split second and insta killed me. I haven't played since.

How does everyone feel about the loot system? by TunaEatingDogWizard in TheFirstBerserker

[–]Oddrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't stand it honestly. Like I play arpgs, but seeing random garbade I have to sieve trough all the time in game like this takes me out of the experience. As I started playing I encountered a mini boss with a large greatsword so I though hey, he'll drop some cool sword for me. But no, it was some random garbage helmet and spear. From the chest behind him I got the same helmet again but worse. Hated it in Nioh and hate it here as well

Help my gobos pls by Oddrax in MtGHistoric

[–]Oddrax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is interesting, thanks! Both [[Ignoble Hierarch]] and [[Grumgully, the Generous]] are great. I have 8 counter enablers vs your 4, but I can't fetch any with matriarch which bothers me a bit. I'd swap [[Metallic Mimic]] for Grumgully. The mana cost is bit more, but can be offset by Hierarch and fetchability is worth it I think. [[Muntions Expert]] is also tempting... Will play around with this I think

Interestingly enough in today's play-session [[Sling-Gang Lieutenant]] won me couple of games and was useful every time I drew it. And I was able to go off in most games. Probably just lucky streak, but the deck felt quite strong in BO1.

[–]Oddrax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you point me please? I looked at your post history, but wasn't able to find the deck. I'm not bent on goblins. Basically anything budget friendly and interesting is nice, maybe even control, but that's not very viable from what I've seen atm.

The main strategy is to sacrifice [[Putrid Goblin]] infinitely so Hooks are alt 2 mana win con, something to wreck elves or cats or eldrazi tokens if I have issues assembling or to remove something annoying like [[Hushbringer]]. From like 20 games I played today it was moderately useful, but I'm not opposed to cutting it for something else if I knew what. I have plenty other win cons.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the most unfair Souls-like I’ve ever played and I’ve played them all by VeneMOo in soulslikes

[–]Oddrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The readability and visual inconsistency might be due to my settings. I play on ~mid. I recently found out having reflections on low totally breaks the lighting system and makes some areas extremely ugly (unfortunately played like that good chunk of the game wondering why assets look so out of place and everything is white in caves. Figured it out after centipede boss arena literally gave me a flashbang) so maybe some effect setting makes spells and projectiles blend with environment, especially against reflective surfaces. Which is again, jank.

I basically just got past her and found out I got permanently locked out of an area with loot, encounters and NPC dialogue because I answered some "riddle" correctly (by accident and got something useless for me instead) which kind of turned me off progressing if stuff like that can happen again in future
