ah yeah one thing for the devs, if you could fix these "tentacle arms" enemies in the indoor sections of the desert it would be great, lol
said tentacles just ignore walls entirely haha

We both had the fire mod so we bursted one moth quickly. I focused on killing those flying blue balls. Then you just have to dodge all those attacks and not fall.
Yep same. Took us a number of tries but we used the Skulls mod which helped alot. The friggen scream pushed me off a couple times too. Also popping the first cocoon at the right time helped
As far as I could tell enemies on all levels with larger weapons can swing through corners for sure and many walls. The tusk arm guys straight up ignore shit though lol
I find it infuriating to be honest. But every game has its issues. So I just have to laugh it off and take it into consideration in a review
Having a lot of trouble joining games on Xbox. Spent 5 minutes trying to join a public game. No luck. Backed out and tried again for 10 mins. No luck.
Ohh, I gotcha on the "1-shot". Yeah, if you are beating every boss 1-shot, I definitely recommend you play hard mode as a starting difficulty. It was meant for players that have good souls / shooter (or combo) experience.
As for traits, Crit Chance, Crit Damage, Ranged Dmg, Reload Speed, Fire Rate are your core DPS ones. Vigor and the 3 defense traits are must-haves if you ever want to play on NM, and the rest are basically quality of life things - more money, better endurance, cheaper stam cost, etc. There are some hidden gems like Catalyst that increases proc chance of anything that procs... from Hotshot to Devouring Loop (5% chance to do 400% dmg on a crit, up to 15% with Catalyst, etc).
On Normal difficulty, however, I agree, the core stats are the only ones you really need (and maybe some HP or STAM for quality of life).
Spent another 30 minutes trying to join public games on Xbox. Still no success.
Hopefully it's just a launch day issue. After I try the multiplayer than go back into solo it just lingers on "checking save" so I'm assuming it is just a bug. Still frustrating though.
Got to the first boss and I'm not a fan. I hate games where you just have to handle the unlimited adds.

Would be great if there was like a dev note before you start playing saying that if you know all of the souls lore you should play hard mode.
Also with those traits it would be nice if there were 3 categories: attack, defense and utility. You would gain with each level up 1 point for each category, but I dunno how much you wanna change stuff.
Love the game tho, I wouldn't be posting this if I didn't like it. So I hope you're planning on adding some end gamey stuff and goals.
I find this game exponentially harder than soulsborne. There was only a couple of bosses that took double digit attempts to beat in those games. It's taken me 25 to 30 attempts for each of the 2 bosses I've beaten so far in this.
Agreed. It's not that it feels harder it just feels unfair. In soulsborne, it's learning to deal with the boss' patterns. Here it's just getting lucky with the adds.
So whats the general verdict? I really want to try it, but I have a budget to stick to.
Edit: Watching Twitch, it looks fun, but I know Twitch can be deceptive.

Agreed. That's been my one complaint. As much as I LOVE the no boss combat I dread fighting them.
Can we please for the love of god have instance ammo per person or share them Like scrap and everything else on pickup. Because watching anyone spam pickup on ammo means you are not getting shit.
I can't speak to PC, but if you're planning on playing on Xbox, I'd say wait.
Been playing "public", but haven't had anyone join my game in 3 hours. Got to a tough boss that wasn't really that tough, he just kept spawning unlimited adds. Tried to go to join other multiplayer games and realized why my public game got no joiners. Joining games is broken right now on Xbox.
But like I said can't speak to PC.
On PC, the situation seems similar. When searching for games, the browser shows zero games in the list. But if you press "join public game" button, it will join a random game.
It's weird as hell.
Have you tried joining friends or just randoms?
Unfortunately I don't have any friends playing so just tried randoms. So I can't speak to how joining friends works.
However as someone who is playing solo, even if playing with friends is working amazing, playing with randoms is completely broken and that's what matters to me.
At least one random player would be a great help against the unlimited adds the first boss calls. Or I could help a random player with that. If matchmaking worked.
I can't say for PC or PS4, but if you're going for Xbox I'd recommend to wait. I bought for Xbox and there's a lot of bugs currently. I'm honestly thinking about looking into refunds.
It blows my mind that for such a multiplayer focused game they didn't even test how multiplayer connections work.
Agreed. I finally beat the 1st boss on my 10 try. It didn't feel like soulsborne where I learned his combos and knew how to beat him. It just felt like I changed nothing and got lucky with the placement of adds on my 10th try.
Any boss with unlimited adds feels awful.
Wow this is a lot of great information. I am currently in the subway and the information about diamonds,chevrons , etc.. is great!
Also loved exploring and especially going back into the ward to unlock some of those locked off areas.
Also actually listening to NPCS gets you some rewards felt very rewarding for paying attention.
Dear devs: aiming cancels sprinting. It would be nice if it didn't. Assuming it's a bug because melee attacks don't cancel it.

The adds are usually for ammo replenishment (because ammo is our "gun stamina"). However, in some cases they are there to distract you from an otherwise easy-to-avoid boss mechanic. That being said, In 20+ clears I've never felt I had to be lucky to beat any of the bosses, I've had to learn the boss mechanics, the add types, and the timing of the dance, so to speak. The game has a ton of abilities that allow you to manage adds and the damage of weapons at even levels (or 1 below) has been tuned on normal to allow a specific number of shots (or weakspot shots) to kill / manage.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that some people DO feel like they need to get lucky, so that's something we look to address, be it by adjusting spawn timings, density, attack speed, pressure values, or even just making players more aware of their ability to manage multiple adds with their weapons and abilities.

Yeah, so far I haven't felt like the adds were some kind of RNG thing I had to beat. They got me killed a fair amount of times, but they are definitely manageable. I carry a submachinegun to deal with adds during boss fights, and the repeating rifle for the bosses themselves.
Has anyone re-rolled their world yet? Are people doing it just for a fresh challenge, or doing it when they get super stuck? I am just wondering what effect it has on progression since re-rolling would mean you get access to other items that are not in your current world right?
Adds suck full stop, no matter how much you can grind to make them easier. They make any otherwise cool fight a slog. It was one of my longstanding complaints with how Bungie handled difficulty in older Destiny content. More adds is no fun, it's not actual mechanical challenge, it's just a damn busy mess on your screen.
This goes for every game for me. No matter how much somebody tells someone to get good, I will always stand by add dependent difficulty by distraction being bad design, especially when there are otherwise good mechanics underneath that shit.
Found a neat secret early on
Also found my first weapon drop in an optional "dungeon", a very powerful 1 shot pistol. Doesn't really work with my current build and loadout but have finally started to get enough scrap to buy the other beginner kits so might mess around with it paired to a faster main weapon.
Found an illusory wall near some graffiti that said "only the penitent shall enter" or something along those lines. Figured that'd be something to do with crouching down (on your knees in penance) and whaddya know, there's an invisible wall that you only slip through while crouching. Had an accessory and audio log.

Told in cutscenes. Very straightforward so far for me.
Lots of background lore in books and such you can read.
Fair enough. Might play through this with my wife watching, since she enjoys me getting killed lots in games. :D
I picked up an accessory that reduces equipment weight, at least.
Welp, I figured I would sit down and play this for like an hour before bed. Three hours later I had to force myself to stop. I am enjoying the crap out of it. I keep feeling the urge to push forward to that next checkpoint. Shooting things just feels good.
Ran into a boss that can apparently attack around corners through walls, but when its legs go underground, forget about it!
(It glitched and was stuck underground)
I tried to capture it but the game wasn't enabled as one by Windows yet...oh well.

I imagine the multilayer servers maybe a bit wonky due to early access might be something backend they can't fully switch till release.
Like on steam the game won't show you community features like achievements etc till releaee (the proper section to view global stats is locked till release)
