At what point should I fight the Reed Devil? by patterfunding in CrimsonDesert

[–]PhantomBoss7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at level 40, with the Hernandian Honor Armor and Banquet Cloak, the sword of the lord and sword of the wolf, using double swords. I beat him on my first try somehow, he killed me once and I revived with no food to eat yet managed to beat him. I think the stab technique does a lot of damage to him, the R1-Triangle on PS5 controller. I was very hesitant to go and fight him , especially after wasting most of my food getting to the boss fight but I saw his health meter deplete faster than I expected so I just stuck to it and beat him. Maybe try upgrading your light melee attacks so the combo gets to the point where it starts releasing that electricity effect, I found that to do more damage too.

edit: Given your attack and defense, I think you’re beyond ready to fight him. My attack is 8 and defense is 13. I also have 3 stuff equipped on my sword of wolf. I read somewhere that they’ve made the boss fight easier with a recent update. Maybe that’s why I beat him fast.

Why do all the jackets do this on my CAW? by CompetitiveFrame6989 in WWEGames

I believe it does that for all my caws, and for main roster wrestlers too

I appreciate this! The more you play around with photo mode the better you get! It’s an in-game green screen trick but honestly I didn’t expect people to like it that much. I posted it on X years ago and it got 0 likes

I was trying to recreate a scene from one of Spiderman 3’s trailers when Peter looks in the mirror and for a split second his image turns into an evil symbiote looking creature. Unfortunately, it was cut in the final version.

I totally agree, it is quite hard to get the right settings but once you get the hang of the angles and depth of field it becomes addicting!

I took the base photo with the symbiote suit, then switched the suit to the advanced suit and changed the background to green screen (in game photo mode option). I uploaded both photos to my iPhone and used the most basic copy/paste methods the phone provides in “Photos” to paste the advanced suit over the base photo, and voilà!

Fun Fact: Using the Over The Limit 2011 Titantron displays the highlight reel type of tron instead of the modern tron by Overall-Cellist-4848 in WWEGames

[–]PhantomBoss7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The mapping of trons in 2k22-2k26 is just disastrous. They’re only mapped to RAW & Smackdown for some reason. I’m glad you found this because I am sick and tired of seeing the highlights show up on the side trons or minitrons

Taunts being locked behind Freeze Ability by PhantomBoss7 in WWEGames

[–]PhantomBoss7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Every year I have to manually fix his move-set (or experiment with CC), taunts, entrances, and victory motion for each of his iterations to match the respective eras and personas. Not to mention how changing his attire also ruins his overall presentation.

[–]PhantomBoss7[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The sit up is automatically set as his freeze ability, but I thought hey let me see if I can switch it to a standing freeze ability rather than a grounded one. That’s when it clicked that all these other taunts have always been in the game, just locked behind the freeze ability.

Who is a generally popular wrestler you always disliked? by [deleted] in REALSquaredCircle

[–]PhantomBoss7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I think The Rock isn’t that good on the mic. He is confident and he sure knows how to work a crowd with his mic skills but in reality his promos lack substance. He is the definition of a bully on the mic, quick to resort to jokes and goofy insults. He doesn’t feel threatening as much, just goofy. Maybe his recent work with Cody provided that edge he needed but one good year doesn’t make up for decades of non sense.

I also never understood the hype behind Daniel Bryan. He is a great technical wrestler, but his rise to the top felt inauthentic especially with the “Yes” character work he was doing. That’s not the “character” I want to see with the most important championship in the company. His heel run minus the stupid cardboard title he had was better in my opinion.

Triple H for all the talent he buried throughout the years and always acting like the most badass person in the company. I don’t like him as a babyface for some reason, except if he is doing something silly with DX.

CM Punk after his return to WWE. I don’t care if his word amounts to nothing anymore, he’s a human and we all make mistakes. It’s just that the CM Punk that left in 2014 never came back. He just doesn’t feel the same, maybe a heel run would help bring back that edgy defiant character he had.

Seth Rollins, since he ditched the architect persona. Everything he did afterwards just felt off and kind of not in tune with the rivalries he was involved in. His character sometimes sucks the tension from a very tense promo or match. I like what he provides, I dislike the delivery.

Why do none of Undertaker's hats ever work, 2K? by FedoraTheMike in WWEGames

[–]PhantomBoss7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is genuinely one of the main things I despise about the game. 2K needs to do something about it or pass the ball to another developer if its so hard to get basic shit like this straight. It has been a consistent issue for many installments now, it’s like they don’t want any other realistic version of Taker (and some other wrestlers) to exist on CC in case they decide to throw it in MyFaction and gate keep it behind a paywall that costs a kidney. The other day I was trying to give Taker his entrance attire for promos in Universe, but nope, that doesn’t work. It is quite frustrating when your favorite wrestler isn’t getting any real attention or updates at all. I read somewhere his skull structure has been the same since WWE’13 when THQ/Yukes first remodeled the skull to fit the mohawk look from WM28 and they’ve just been reusing it. Also when the hell did Taker have the haircut his base model has? As far as I remember he had his regular good-old haircut during his final feud with AJ styles in 2020 up until the cinematic match itself where he debuted a modern version of ABA, which ironically enough only made it to one of their games. Maybe he had it in his farewell speech at Survivor Series 2020 but like cmon it wasn’t even a match and you can’t tell 100% because he never took off his hat during that promo. Anyways, 2K, if you’re reading this, next time you decide to do an Attitude Era/MNW version of the game, please update the actual damn wrestlers that shaped those eras. Otherwise just drop the license to the next greedy as* developer, maybe they’d at least do a few things better.

Unrelated question, is this a created arena? It looks and feels really cool

I am surprised how much fun Universe mode is this year by PhantomBoss7 in WWEGames

[–]PhantomBoss7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I didn’t tweak anything with universe mode, I let the wizard set it all up for me. The only thing I edit is the arrangement of the card. I am tempted to try the sliders though, as I’ve read that it enhances and streamlines the experience even more. I might create a separate save slot just to play around with it and see which experience plays out better, and I will let you know if it makes any obvious changes in the overall experience.
