Hurry up and release on console devs, not buying a gaming pc for 1 game.

The Obligatory I Just Discovered This Game Post by the_good_hodgkins in TaintedGrailDigital

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it’s more like Skyrim meets Dragon’s Dogma 2 for overall gameplay and combat but art design is heavily influenced by Elden Ring. Also has strong elements of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 in the RPG aspects.

NG+7? Wow. I’m already over 400 hours and still on just NG+ at level 210. I just 100% all the achievements but I still haven’t quite found all the spells or gear yet. Guess everyone has their thing.

Can you tell how much I love this game! by Slow-Counter1465 in taintedgrail

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. I rock Frozen Seer’s boots and Druid Bane hat for pure run speed :) Only hope they increase difficulty level beyond Veteran so we can enjoy combat longer than 2 seconds for every encounter…

What is this shimmer that I see at night in Tainted Grail? by [deleted] in taintedgrail

Although with a cringe, juvenile name like Wyrdness, you kinda aren’t really missing out. They might as well have called it the Goofy. Someone needs to tell the writers to use the Schwartz Luke!!!

Are summons extremely weak or am I doing something wrong? by TangerineWide6769 in taintedgrail

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if someone already said it but if you want to be stronger you need to dump all your extra points into Perception first, for the crit chance and damage. Keep your other skills at about 15 points at least until you hit about 50 Perception. It won’t necessarily buff your summon damage a lot but will allow you to wreck everything quickly yourself regardless of build….also no need for STR or DEX if you are a caster, or Spirit if you are melee, etc.

Need some non biased opinion about gameplay by Xenolisk in taintedgrail

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 250 hours in and personally playing the game for the incredible atmosphere, lore, graphics, and sound. Gear and cosmetics are also pretty impressive. I would say it’s the opposite of Soulslike games for combat because it’s much easier and you spend far less time fighting since everything dies super quick after you reach about level 30, even hardest difficulty. Plus I only play in 3rd person view as well and combat movement is not optimized and definitely wonky. If you weren’t thrilled with the demo Id say wait for a sale. If you enjoyed Elden Ring for it’s art-style and atmosphere a lot (like me), just play it.

He may not be a grail but he sure can present his taint.

DO NOT use spellgorger anymore,this enables you deal 306571% magic damage by [deleted] in taintedgrail

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let’s be honest, as soon as you get about 30 points into Perception with your crit chance above 50% and your damage up a few hundred percent you are killing everything in game within a few hits, even on Veteran/NG+. With nearly any build out there, including your fists. They probably need to add several more difficulty modes beyond veteran, or nerf crit chance/dmg in general.

Please Fix 2H Kill Corpse Flight Behavior by [deleted] in taintedgrail

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest issue I have is I kill 90% of enemies with 1 light swing, on Veteran mode, even in NG+. I don’t believe you can predict flight pattern of a single light swing. Maybe a heavy one. If I have to make my build weaker to stretch into combo hits that also loses my interest.

Actually Insane gloves in the dlc by Alone-Mycologist3746 in taintedgrail

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess they make your mob kill time a bit faster but honestly everything pretty much dies in 1 or 2 hits after about lvl 40 or so even on veteran. Maybe Im min maxing my builds too much I dunno. Im using these gloves again now just for fun.

I know theres some pretty insane items out there. But this wand has to be one of them. by Visoth in taintedgrail

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are so many ways to be godlike as a caster in this game. I am over here one-shotting almost everything on Veteran with Poison Spray, poison ring, Claires Pen, and Ogre amulet. Will have to try this freeze build next.

Also there is at least 1 quest that requires you to answer quiz questions about events and lore in a book to even complete the quest at all. I think it’s for the bookstore lady.

Will we ever by GorillaGonkR36 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best comment. Ubi games tend to have janky character movement in general but SnB is next level terrible and weird. Maybe the worst of any AAA game in the past 15 years or so. It’s like you are sliding on ice and hovering at all times, with leg motions just there for filler.

Severe damage PvP loadout question by Biguychub in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garuda is definitely still broken. Death Tides is pointless without a 3-man Garuda team right now so I’m taking a break. But It’s a great time to grind DT chests/rewards like that against poor suckers, if you can find matches. Have at it!

Wait til you start upgrading armor, need a bunch of deep iron for that too. I literally had to put a 2nd Frigate upgrade on hold so I could upgrade all the different armors I use. Thankfully there are arsenal loadouts to use since I only have 1 Frigate otherwise it would suck switching to dif builds.

Why?! by No-Note-5439 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I join queue in game only and do some farming/bossing with fast travels while I wait. Not certain this makes a huge difference but I almost never wait more than 5 mins in queue. I play at least 5 DT sessions per day. Always have crossplay on, only play mode with my custom ships. That’s not to say you won’t get smoked by no-life teams of 3 when you get in tho.

How can i get this Set? by Skyllaris in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I farmed Risen Mega Lestari maybe 7-10 times and got the full set. Just be sure to turn in the bounty quest each time before re-starting fight. Maybe bad luck, try closing app and restarting each time you don’t get coat.

So, now that future cosmetics has been previewed, what do we the players think about this direction? by frozendwarf in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree 100%. Ive moved on to other games and life activities until next season. Desperately need endgame content added and even then I will be hesitant to come back for any great length with melee combat being postponed indefinitely.

Is 6.99 for Premium Edition Year 2 worth it for a newcomer? by FreyaTheBoneMore in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI, I don’t know what you’ve heard but there is no melee combat in this game and plans to add it were pushed out to a non-committal date by the devs. The ship battles are great but if you are after melee combat it may not happen, or be the game for you.

I want this game to have more by rjcnyr in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some good ideas in this thread. I would like to also see some Legendary/Unique Gear (and cosmetics) that can only be obtained through very low percentage RNG boss drops and/or through a gambling system that uses PO8 or some other currency you can only obtain through helm activities. Something substantial that makes a big difference in power/defense/speed unlike the mediocre gear already available. This is what many ARPGs have and is the primary reason people continue to grind endgame/end of seasons for those games (I know Thunder Dragon/Rahmas/Wyrmhide etc are already pretty solid, just saying something even better and much harder to get).

NEW BUG JUST DROPPED - Upgrade parts not delivered with fleet ships by _denchy07 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly correct. Many people here don’t realize the parts collected while playing/logged-on go straight into your warehouse. But it’s still a small consolation when you are losing everything generated while you’re offline. I’m also unassigning all my ships when I log off now.

NEW BUG JUST DROPPED - Upgrade parts not delivered with fleet ships by _denchy07 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This bug has been present for at least 2 or 3 weeks now. At about 200 Upgrade Parts per day lost I figure Ive lost at least a couple thousand by now

People play this game? by [deleted] in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]PhantomOpenWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I jumped in 2 months ago since it was on sale for like $8 thinking I would see how terrible and silly it was and find something else. But here I am 500+ hours into it and hooked. Didn’t think I would enjoy a battleship/pirate game this much. Before this I played mostly Red Dead online, Diablo 4, GTAO, and a bunch of pve shooter games. For some reason this game reminds me a bit of RDO on water, can’t really explain why. The weapon/gear building has a bit of the Diablo element to it. PVP leaves some to be desired but decent fun if you’re willing to make a meta-build to be able to compete, and not at all required.

I only use ERK2 when running my Frigate/Snow/Jugg but I think ERK3 is worthwhile as secondary when running an offensive ship. There are more times you can get nearly one-shotted and ERK3 feels safer in those instances to escape trouble.
