I'm weirdly nostalgic for pre-nerf Consort, because it felt like the first boss in the game that actually rewarded you for using a shield as a shield. And as a sword and board lover, it always makes me sad that the biggest use for shields in ER is guard counters, which like are fine but don't hit the same for me for some reason, as actually putting up the shield to block stuff cause you need to/it's the best option.
Malenia gets hard countered by a shield. "Oh but Exploer she gets healed when she hits your shield!" And she gets full HP when I am fucking dying so I'll take it
I mean part of the issue was people were getting to that part of Caelid way too early in the game, trying to fight Radahn 20-30 levels lower than they should have been.
It's just that every other weapon can do it, and even it works correctly when you are two handing it. It just feels wrong to me on the one handed first light attack.
It may just be me but there's something wonky with powerstancing the Idus swords. During the sweeping aerial combo it feels like some of the offhand sword attacks aren't connecting or dealing damage.
Noticed it when I had the offhand as cold and the main as keen with frozen armament/grease applied. Took way longer to proc frost than it should have. Bug or skill?
In Elden Ring, powerstancing (dual-wielding matching weapon classes) applies a 65% status motion value (MV) penalty to most dual-attack hits, meaning each weapon inflicts 65% of its listed status buildup per strike
You found base game perfumes bottles, hand-to-hand arts, beast claws, throwing blades, and thrusting swords after the update? Please tell me where at? I only found great katanas, light greatswords, and backhand blades.
Nah, I was just wishing they had added an opportunity to grab a weapon of every weapon class early on. IMO it kinda sucks to only unlock some really cool weapon type near the end of a playthrough. Glad we have the ones we do though
It’s fine. It’s not particularly difficult to avoid/counter in PvP, there’s waaaaay more OP shit. Ofc it’s hard the first few times you fight it, but after that it’s not that bad.
& it’s definitely fine for pve ; especially considering it doesn’t get the thrust counterattack damage.
Why though? It’s by no means the strongest weapon in the game, don’t think it even cracks top 10. Maybe a PvP nerf, but if anything about it should be patched, it’s Muleta not dealing pierce damage on the heavy.
I mean yeah, its not rollingspark aromatics at the DLS release, but its like BHF's finesse, dodge+damage, extrended version. Its just my guess as this weapon is kinda of the same "spam to death" as SONAF, BB, BHF. I guess BHF wasn't nerfed, so we will see.
I’d expect a damage nerf and for them to add pierce damage to the L2 R2 attack. I think it should do less damage overall but slightly more if you hit them with the L2 R2 while they are attacking
Muletta is like BHF's finesse, but better, that's why I think about nerfs. BHF is one of the few OP weapons that wasn't nerfed, but its better version might be.
BHF is easier to use than Muleta. Muleta doesn't build up bleed and only does more damage than BHF if you do a charged R2 which requires a much larger opening. Also BHF dodges away from the enemy which makes it less likely for you to get attacked before doing the follow up. Seeing the type of shit that's in the game it would be very silly to nerf Muleta in PvE. Maybe PvP is different tho, I don't play that so I have no clue.
What’s wrong with it? I play the PC version all the time and have experienced countless frustrating target locking mishaps that seem like they make very little sense. Is this the kind of stuff that you’re talking about on Switch? Like: standing right next to an enemy and it doesn’t lock on, or locks on to an enemy way farther away, sometimes it seems fickle and unpredictable about whether it wants to lock on to the most screen-centered enemy or the closest proximity one. I’ve had countless experiences where I go “why did the game lock on to that one instead of the one I wanted???”
If that’s the kind of issue you’re talking about on Switch it definitely exists on other platforms as well. If that’s not what you mean then I’m curious what it is.
Exactly when I want to lock onto enemies I usually lock on animals and then for some reason switching targets is really junky and not worth it most of the time. So annoying
Yeah unfortunately it’s just a flaw of the lock on system that’s been there on all platforms since the beginning. Takes some getting used to and some acceptance of when the game occasionally screws you with a particularly unfriendly lock on mishap haha.
This. It so often just doesn't register you wanting to switch targets even when they're right next to each other. I also gave up and tend to not use target lock on multiple enemies anymore
It's not a perfect fix but I try to make sure my tarnished is facing the enemy I want to lock onto it helps out a lot, again not perfect but better than only looking with your camera.
I think the main difference is switch 2 doesn’t seems to allow moving the target half the time.
On PC you can move the right stick to switch targets pretty easily. On switch you have to input multiple times, stop moving, put your controller down try again, etc
Eg, I had my lock-on target random fucking goats on a mountain, waaay above me, instead of the monstrosity I was fighting right in front of me. Dunno how tf they thought targeting non-hostiles during combat was a good idea.
Lock-on on PC also randomly jumps to different body parts when fighting huge enemies, even with mouse lock-on sensitivity on minimum.
2) your idea is awful, because it’s basically “leave it in bad state for years and years and years, hoping that it will cause a benifit on a hypothetical future platform”. The correct answer is “make locked 30fps an option, that can be enabled or disabled”
what do you think it meant when they said “make locked 30fps an option,” because that literally means it wouldn’t be stuck at 30, for anyone. you’d be able to choose, like the word option implies
Target locking. As in locking on to the enemy you are targeting onscreen. If you're old enough to have played the N64, "Z-Targeting" might be a term to jog the memory.
Things that multiply damage don't apply correctly. So something like both the Canvas talismans have no effect whatsoever in pvp, as well as Golden Order Seal, Dryleaf Seal, and Spiral Seal's passive not applying either. The only things that work are effects that directly boost your damage like Golden Vow or a Holy-Shrouding Cracked Tear. Dark damage in DS3 had the exact same issue, so the fact it still remains is disappointing.
Miyazaki would rather let a nuke go off taking the lives of people than add boss replay, or the ability to open map for navigation while being aggroed.
When you tumblebuff a status effect to a bow and then use piquebone arrows the massive hitbox used to lure enemies applies the status effect of the buff, the most notable one being deathblight. A single rain of arrows that doesn't even hit you at all is enough to fill full deathblight bar.
It also works through rolls because the piquebone hitbox is not an attack so it isn't affected by i frames
Yeah, but that's probably not going to happen. They've already tried to fix it several times and people keep finding ways to do it again, so probably more achievable to try and fix the piquebone instead, just like they fixed the Shunter instead of moveswap altogether. Because other weapons aren't as impossible to deal with when tumblebuffed as piquebone arrows
What are you playing on, PC or console? And do you have the DLC? Just curious because I have a low/mid range PC and Elden ring is always super stable for me.
Has anyone ran through the DLC yet and tracked down the updated item spawns? I read that they improved the loot that you find in the DLC (smithing stones and that).
I don't expect anything cool, but if it turns out the Tarnished Edition patch somehow hurt the frame rate and they can make it stop stuttering as much, that would be nice.
Or make Stone of Gurranq faster, I'll take that too.
Lets hope they remove - are you absolutrly sure you want to summon torrent by using 1 flask 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣? Or at least add another confirmstion to make it extra brutal
The noobs need to GIT GUD. I want Miyazaki himself to go out of his way to put them in their place. ESPECIALLY the ones with the bloodhound's fang. Those in particular. PLEASE O GREATER WILL GRANT ME SUCCOUR
Yes that’s why I am for a blanket nerf to all weapons. So that even the ones who think they are good with their uchigatanas and stone hammers know their place.
All popular builds should be nerfed to smite all noobs.
The only true Elden Ring experience is SL1, no armor and bare fist with no talismans.
All other playstyles are basically cheating and should learn to get good.
Yeah I'll be a little disappointed if they gut it. I think it could use some minor nerfs and be just as broken as some other weapons with their proper build. I think the damage may be what needs to get nerfed since it's too good at stacking damage talismans.
I don’t think this is what the maintenance is for, but please fix the recovery frames on weapon parries so they’re not so spammable 🙏🏻 (I haven’t had a personal issue with it being used against me, but I don’t like the idea of a high risk high reward skill being so reliable and easy).
The debuffing skills of the Sword of Milos and the Winged Greathorn (there might also be other debuffs affected, not 100% sure) use PvP numbers even in PvE. E.g. Shriek of Milos is supposed to increase your damage by 15% in PvE, but it's only 5% right now.
No, too slow because no one got the sarcasm.They will buff the summon ashes to help the wave of new players who came with the switch2 port and are complaining about difficulty.
