Modern_Ubermensch Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Apparently Group specific Bloodstains are working , if u have joined any group those ones So the general reason seems to be overcrowding of servers Also found familiar friend P.....S and his DS2 call back to "gavlan wheel gavlan deal " ?

zen Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Margit down in two tries. People were making him out to be the toughest boss in Souls and he’s basically a very slow, less agro Owl. Where are the farming spots for smithing stone? I’m still on Uchi-2 and haven’t found that many in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STICK3Rboy Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Defeated Godric. Such an epic boss fight and pretty challenging too. I think the red knight guy by the cliffside in the castle (don't know what he's called) was much tougher though. Had to actually resort to cheesing him with my dragonfire spell Also, the vistas in this game are breathtaking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICK3Rboy Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 If anyone's having trouble with the Evergaol Bloodhound, try an ash of war that gives you holy damage. Just destroyed that mofo with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can switch between 60 and 120 hz output in console settings. 120 hz panels are said to have lower latency than 60 hz panels. DF was trying to make a point in favour of 120 hz panels even if you don't play on 120 hz. But you have to switch it from console settings to 120 hz have effect.

Have you actually used a PS5 on a 120 hz HDMI 2.1 display? I don't know which TV you use, but on the LG Oleds, 120 hz won't kick in unless the game specifically requests for it. It can only be enabled from the game menu. Here's my TV running on 60hz even though the 120hz option on the PS5 is set to automatic. There isn't even an 'On' option for 120 hz on the PS5. Only 'off' and 'automatic' are available. In automatic mode 120 hz will kick in if the game enables it. Edit with in-game options: Here's RnC with 120hz enabled from the in-game menu. You can see the TV is now running at 120 hz 120hz disabled in-game This behavior is consistent with every other game that has 120 hz support on the PS5. Unless the game specifically enables it, the display will always be on 60hz. Edited February 28, 2022 by Nikushimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On xbox this is system wide setting that benefits every game. If you don't play on 120 fps, you still get benefits of low latency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 The Quickstep ashes of war is hilarious, lets you sidestep any attack. Its basically Bloodborne combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonark Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I have spend nearly 25 hours in the game till now. Based on this, I feel that the runes offered by bosses and enemies is not directly proportional to their difficulty. You can get more runes by killing a random mob than killing a boss or a tank enemy. This has forced me several times to take the stealth route instead of engaging them.

Nikushimi Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) The bloodstains worked briefly in Liurnia but then stopped working when I went back to Stormveil castle. Maybe there is higher load on the servers in areas closer to the starting location. I'm glad the game lets you go back to the open world whenever you want. I can always go back to the open world to gather resources to craft more arrows or just take a stroll around discovering new areas once the big dungeons starts feeling claustrophobic. Mounted combat is awesome due to Torrent being so responsive to movement inputs and dashes. Beat the dragon at the lake while being mounted the whole time. Pretty sure its harder on foot. Best horse mount in a video game imo. Edited February 28, 2022 by Nikushimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno....Godrick gave me 15K runes. If you're talking about the optional bosses, they do give out some other reward as well. So it's not too bad. Haven't really observed how much you get from the tank enemies though. IIRC it's around 1000 runes or so....which again is not too bad IMO Anyway, I've put in close to 25hrs on this game too and it's only been like 4 days since it came out I don't think I've ever played a game this much in such a short time. The world is chock full of things to explore and discover, and it just doesn't cease to pique my curiosity. I think I'm getting obsessed.

roun90 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 This game is a f**ing masterpiece. I've not seen another open world like it. I got the game on launch day. Till now, I've only spent the entire time exploring. it's only today - 3 days later that I even went to the 1st main boss Spoiler Margit The Fell Omen Till now, I've not even progressed beyond his area. I've just been exploring the 1st area (Limgrave) till now. Finding new stuff every time. Random new dungeons, random new World bosses, new teachers for my mage, new items, new types of enemies, new traps and puzzles and other new stuff. The World Bosses are also soooo good. Finishing off Spoiler The Tree Sentinel, Flying Dragon Agheel and Tibia Mariner is so fun. BTW any World boss in the first area missing (Not dungeon ones)? I would like to try to finish them off before progressing further. Can't be sure if I missed any since the map is so vast. I'm not a slave to random question marks and it's really so refreshing. Not much dialogues either. I didn't think I would say it - but it's really fun. The combat is so good, that it's addicting. To tell the truth, I now prefer this kind of open world to even things like RDR2 or Horizon (Not to mention Ubi's or EA's copy/paste mess). On PS5 Performance Mode and I'm not facing any stutter or frame drops. Graphics take a hit in Perf Mode (Pop-ins, textures etc.), but frankly the game is so good that I don't even notice it or bother with it. No wonder the game got 10s everywhere. It's really that good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the main pathway and you get an achievement for it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got the classic FromSoft level design with branching and interconnecting pathways and even shortcuts atop tower ledges. It's a ton of fun. It becomes even more amazing when you realize that they've managed to merge all that with this incredibly rich and dense open-world. 2 hours ago, zen said: Have you finished Morne Castle and the boss at the end?

Nikushimi Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I’ve killed the second main boss, Godrick and was on my way to Liurnia. Now I see people talking about side bosses and NPC’s I’ve never heard or seen in Limgrave. And I thought I’ve explored Limgrave pretty thoroughly. Back to Limgrave it is! Got the game on Saturday and already put in 16 hours. Game is just too good to put down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
