Did you have an issue with the sound on launch? I've had it crash where if I haven't got something in the background playing audio before launching the game it doesn't start with any sound to then freeze after a couple of seconds in game.
No, this is the first technical issue I've had with the game since the launch of the DLC, or since the release of the basic game, for that matter. Before it crashed yesterday, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I did enter a new, large area of the game though, so perhaps loading that area triggered something faulty.
Nah, it's only an issue when launching the game. After that it just works. Wait, I've just remember that I had somrthing similar to you in Crumbling Azura. I charged at the dragon that casts red lightning and as I got closer he used his breath attack which caused the game to freeze the same way you described. I chalked it up to the amount of particle effects there were on screen at the time cause I reloaded and had no issue afterwards. Might just be how the game loads in and around the player being buggy.
If you get tired of bleed you can also get this colossal sword, which also scales off Arcane. STR at B and Arc at D at +10. Has an interesting WA which I think can be abused. You quickly close in and can follow up with an explosion. I didn't test it, but it look promising.
It isn't too surprising that people didn't get enough of them. Some optional areas hidden in very obscure ways. Two of which are hidden in generic dungeons that the base game taught that they aren't always rewarding and are often skippable. It doesn't help the fact that the second part of the DLC is mostly empty and the best reward you can find in the zones (not legacy dungeons inside) are either strings or skibidi fragments. Some fragments also drop from non boss versions of hippos and some other random elite enemies. With golden sneeds it was generally easy to understand the logic behind them and how the game give these out, but when it comes to skibidi frags then they are all over the place and now they have to write a guide about it.
I don't get how a DLC can take so long and so badly playtested. Not even with the difficulty, just hit boxes and cameras feeling worse than the base game.
If you have raytracing off and it starts happening again ad-infinitum, a last-case resort can be to force the game to launch in DX11. It means you can't use any online features, but I literally have to do it because the fucking elder dragon particle effects have, since day 1, not played well with certain GPUs because DX12 is a worthless piece of shit. Lies of P would literally brick my computer on the load screen - but voila, launched in DX11, it ran flawlessly.
I am a souls fan and I'll be calling the game easy no matter what the fuck retard and casual faggots says.
I've stopped checking for illusory walls altogether, I've rolled into 3 walls that people marked as illusory and ended up clipping through an actual wall and falling through the map to my death. Two of them were in the same place (Fog Rift Catacombs), so it's even more embarrassing because those places are clearly put together like Lego pieces using all the "Catacomb hallway/room" assets they have, someone just forgot to add an actual wall.
Who is judging you based on whether or not you beat shadow of the erdtree before they nerfed skibidi fragments?
It honestly is pretty easy. By souls standards I suppose, but I wasn’t stuck on any boss for any longer than a few hours. That’s easy to me.
It takes a while for the games to click when you're a newcomer and even with that it still isn't for everyone; you could try parrying bosses for a little of extra spice qnd risk-reward, but that doesn't apply to all of them.
His autism.
Aim it at the ground in front of a boss.
It struck me as weird that the other Ash of War specific to them served nearly the same purpose of a fully charged strong attack. Speaking of Ashes of War, did whips get any unique to their class or are they still losing on that end?
There's Tooth Whip with innate poison build up and a unique ash to itself. Haven't played with it so I can't tell if it's good or not, but innate poison should be helpful against bosses.
That's what I've been doing in Co-op. Too bad most of the hosts are retarded and/or not having enough scadutree level so they kept getting one shotted before I can get one charged skill at 9k damage in.
