I had never heard the term "adds" before either. I'm used to "mobs". Being 30 (31 in my case) is rough isn't it? Lol

Remnant From The Ashes |OT| A New Soul Rises From The Ashes

Reanimator fight is super over-tuned. We have it on our list (for all platforms). Also have a performance fix coming for console.
Awesome thanks for the response, I beat it after I calmed down a bit lol.
I ended up using a trainer to kill the last boss because it kept bugging and it was pissing me off, not how I wanted to finish the game but it is what it is. I also used it on The Reanimator as it was clearly broken for solo players. It sounds like both those bosses will be fixed which really makes me wish I had waited to play the game. I'm definitely in for RFTA2 if you decide to make a sequel but I'll definitely wait a month or two after release next time.
I finished the game on normal in about 13 hours and overall I enjoyed it, apart from the two bosses I mentioned above I felt the difficulty was spot on for normal, a decent challenge without being overly frustrating (I'm sure hard offers that for those who enjoy it). That being said I didn't really enjoy the boss fights that much, I'm definitely in the add hater camp, I would have preferred more Souls-like bosses, where it's you vs the boss, without annoying adds staggering you. You could put ammo in creates, urns etc in the boss room, or just on the floor ala Resident Evil.
I really enjoyed the trait variety, this actually felt a step up from Souls, you offered a great number of traits so build diversity was solid. I was also satisfied with the array of ranged weapons, although melee definitely felt like an afterthought. I would have liked to have seen more armour sets though, the fashion aspect was definitely lacking.
Technically the game ran well for the most part, I played it on GTX 1080 & 8600k @ 4.4GHz and I was sitting at 80-144fps most of the time on medium at 1080p, I will say the Swamp area was a problem though, lots of drops and an overall choppiness, it really stood out. The audio was good, I found the voice acting fantastic (lip syncing seemed off, though). Visually the game was interesting, I really liked the art style and the mob design was great.
Overall I'd give the game a solid 8/10 once the boss fights are fixed. Good luck to tragic and the team, I expect it'll review quite well.

Strongly considering picking this up after watching Distortion streaming it, it looks like a game laser-target at me. Third person shooter, dark and surreal world, procedural generation, the works. My concern is technical issues pointed out here, I assume the day-one patch will be substantial.
If so, will grab it and try to convince a friend to co-op!

Alright. What do I have to do to get my PS4 to start downloading this thing? It's still not even showing up in the store when I search via the console.
EDIT: Nvm. Restarted the console and it started downloading automagically.

Yeah, cant get it on the PS4 for whatever reason. It was in the store earlier, but it's gone now.
Strange this was not available for pre-loading last night, checked at 11:42pm and nothing but a friend downloaded it at 12:02am so apparently it was there after midnight.
Will have to go home and download/install tonight (32gb)so looks like another night of not getting to play it. I have to say the launch on Ps4 has not been handled very well - no advertising, no pre-loading and no early access like Xbox/PC.

I can't even find it on the eshop. It was on my wishlist but not anymore.
Much better, showed up on the eshop and I just got it. Here's hoping the download's not too severe.
3 hours in and I'm really enjoying it.
Creature designs are awesome.
Interesting.
There's a surprising amount to dig into if you want to read everything.

You can always just restart game to make sure portals come back (the fix is on the way!).
On the way!
So I think I'll grab this tomorrow when my pay cheque goes through. I missed out on preorder bonuses, are they obtainable in the game, or will I forever be missing out by not being an early adopter?
Gonna wait on the patch to see what balance changes are made. Got to Shroud and he/she/it is kicking my ass. I see why everyone is complaining about adds. Also, double debuffs is bullshit. Shoulda waited for more impressions before i bought this.
Did you do any upgrades for your gear so far?
Shroud is pretty managable as you know when the arrow rains come with the sound queue.
If you don't use it yet, the hunter vision is really useful for Shroud to keep track of him (and spot the adds) during the fight. Any boss that disappears in some way it's pretty useful for. It charges quick too (at least with cultist gear) so it has little downtime.
Kicking the coach gun to the curb has been a success for me (swapped for rifle). Went from issues with bosses to knocking out two and an event tonight.
Hoping for an xbox patch soon for the xp issues, looking at streamers in comparable locations I'm something like 20+ trait levels behind by now and I'm feeling it.
Found a bug with world geometry and scrap drops:

Found a bug with world geometry and scrap drops:
In one of the Rhom alien dungeons, realized the wall things were breakable for scrap. Seems anything above player height, the scrap drops would spawn on a vertical level above me. Which was fine for the times where it was reachable, but about half of the zone was just corridors with no higher level so no scrap.
Was messing around on this game.earlier and decided to teleport back to the church area. I fucking went to the back room and found a purple sniper rifle! My first gun I found outside of the norm starting weapons lol. It's pretty good not even upgraded.
I still haven't leveled my weapons yet and I'm starting to hit a wall at "the gate that slowly opens". I can't do enough damage to the adds and they are getting tanky af.
...I guess it is time to finally upgrade my weapons again. Then I'll stop upgrading and see how far I can make it.

Yeah, i've upgraded my full armor set and melee once, and both of my guns twice. I may give it another try or two since i was enjoying the game until that point, but man, what a jump.
This game, once you get to the end of the first area just goes "Alright, let's get real weird with it" in terms of some of the weapons and whatnot you can find / craft and in some of the story.
Also just found an accessory that makes Dragon Hearts remove status effects, that seems like it will be super useful on some bosses.

I said I wouldn't do this but I might need to start looking up guides because I only have one new weapon and some ring accessories outside of the stock stuff. I can't find shit!
Each "world" boss drops a weapon crafting item (normal bosses drop a crafting item for a mod).
For me my weapons were:
Sniper Rifle (this is on the main path I think).
Shotgun with forced grenade launcher mod (my world boss)
SMG with forced flamethrower mod (matchmade into someone else'se world boss that was different)
Laser beam thingy (early optional dungeon in the second world).
My recommendation is to not worry about weapons until you beat the first world, then try some matchmaking to see if you don't luck out into getting a new boss. You will at the very least get a decent amount of scrap out of it.
My acccessories seem to be strewn about rather randomly, handful in sort of out of the way places in the main path, others in optional dungeons.
That's crazy! I wonder what it will settle at!? Who knows... this has been a crazy last few days. =O
If you guys can fix bugs and I guess have to cave in on the "add issue", you should be fine.
I saw that ACG has his review, I will check it asap. Really wonder how fun it is with friends, level variety and how it performs and looks on X.
The adds are a distraction in that fight. I struggled the first 5 or so times I fought him. I decided to ignore the adds on my next try and took him down in like 1-2 minutes.
Undying King is complete utter trash cause of all the adds, and glowing orbs that smash you to bits . hope the patch fixes it, or i'll just grind a bit more
Hoping DF will have a video, now the game has actually launched. 1X seems pretty good but there are drops under 30 when multiple effects kick in. Also, seems there is no HDR, which would be a great addition for the games overall look.
30/31, your a young pup ;) it's probably just the genre of games you really got into. Adds has been a term for a long time, at least since everquest in the 90's and it probably goes back before that but it has been a staple of mmo lingo for a long time.
i was wondering where this thread was...really just found out about this game when i saw some random ass game on twitch and decided to check it out. It's right up my alley. Put in 4 hours today but I'll be leaving for a whole week of vacation. Can't wait to dive back in when I get back
