Remnant From The Ashes |OT| A New Soul Rises From The Ashes
- Thread starter Queen Of Hunting
- Start date
What I love about this game is that once you get past the first area, it really spreads its wings, artistically. This game goes in some really wacky, cool directions, and I can't imagine any AAA pub taking a chance on such a wacky, weird game. Love that Gunfire got to make something so crazy, weird and beautiful.
Im on xbox where there is currently no matchmaking...so i cant even get help fuckin making my blood boil. I hope they balance this finally cause im just not happytheboss fightundead king
I read this guide last night, and due to the random nature of all of the dungeons it wasn't super helpful. I was at the right dungeon described by this guide, but my dungeon only had a skeleton with a gunslinger ring. It's just sort of unclear to me how to find it, is the assault rife in every roll? Because one of my friends has a roll that doesn't even have this dungeon (the one described by the guide).
I also really wish that this game had a feature that checked off dungeons you have already visited, as well as some sort of zoom in feature on the maps.
Seen some of my regular Twitch streamers play this in coop and obviously looks like a souls game with guns and coop. What's performance like on XB1X and game depth as far as character customization goes? It's just over £30 for me which is surprising, thought it would've been more expensive like majority of other releases these days.
Performance is OK. Some drops here and there but mostly solid. Customisation is fairly basic as it stands a few heads, voices, hair types etc, but he usual RPG fare but much of the customisation comes into play with gears and skills.

I think alot of people are playing like dark souls where u kind of most time stay back assess situation etc.
Ive found here if you play aggressive you do fine most time and if u spend time playing safe u get punished

Dont buy it for Xbox yet. Matchmaking is broken so you cant join and people cant join sessions. So if you find a boss tough solo your stuck.
I think PC has some issues too, people do join but not very often. There is over 30,000 people playing on PC right now, so you'd think getting a full group would take seconds.
So am i just supposed to stand by the crystal near boss room to have someone join my world and help me? PS4
Have you gotten to the boss fight yet that's literally just adds?
PS4 Pro plays fine.
I was about to leave a game and it shoved me into someone's game but then I quit. Later people kept joining my game and then leaving. And then when I turn off for the night someone is in my game.
Is there still matchmaking issues or just a stream of bad luck?
Also game is challenging but I am tired of going in the sewers, hope that changes soon.

its completely random every time you roll a campaign or join somebody. Id say its easier to get the item you want by joining public games that aren't too far from the church so you just go with the flow and see if you find what you look for
That's a good idea. I have been playing with three friends, and I guess I was just surprised that none of us got the right roll.
Damn. I'm just before that part. I really hope I can get it. :(
Don't want to play it all over to get it.
Dont worry there are many other viable long range weapons that do the job aswel, just not automatic rifles
Currently struggling to beat Grinder. If anyone on PS4 wants to help me out, my PSN is BRDLYYY
I take it that whatever the most recent patch was didn't include a Risen nerf? I genuinely don't know what I'm supposed to do. I go through 3 hearts just destroying one re-animator, and the encounter just gets harder after that.
It's just such a bad encounter in its current state. You've already got invisible teleporting dudes that are constantly sprinting, the smaller dudes shouldn't also be capable of sprinting.
It's random though

It has been the same pattern in both my playthroughs, odd.
Got down to 1 re-animator at half health. The spear throwing dude is dumb as hell on top of all the other things being thrown at you.
Also, are there plans to fix the collision boxes on the actual re-animators themselves? Really annoying to get stuck on the corners because for some reason the collision box doesn't actually appear to be box-shaped.
Seems like weird thing to not randomize out of all the things in the game that are.

I thought I heard someone say that.

It's my understanding that your world state is set when it's first rolled. Now, if you go back and find it, that's because you missed it the first time around. If it's not there, your world seed doesn't include that dungeon, and you'll have to either re-roll your campaign and hope for a world seed that includes the dungeon, or just play some jolly co-op with folks in that part of the game and hope they have the dungeon.
i'm playing solo, coop with strangers is even more difficult imho.
I'm getting mixed results as well. Co-op with a partner is usually OK because you can trade off aggro while one heals or reloads. Also, during boss fights, if you see your partner going gung-ho for the boss, you can shift to crowd control to make the fight easier. Or vice-versa. With three, bosses get trickier because there seem to be quite a few more adds than with just one or two players total; and without actual coordination, it's very easy to get overwhelmed. But this depends a lot on the boss fight, IMO.
Ideally, if you're playing with two friends with mics, it's all gravy. But the game is still real new, so folks are figuring out weapon/mod/trait metas and optimal boss strats. It'll only get easier as the player base grows more experienced with the game.
This music puzzle is annoying as hell because the sound of the bells is far too quiet. I can't hear them over the damn music the dude's playing.
Edit: Looked up the solution, and don't know how I was supposed to get that. Can only hear him playing 5 notes.

The plate puzzle has multiple solutions and randomly chooses them. My friend had a very different one from me.
so game progression is base on the host?
nvr set foot on outside the ward in my own world. only rerolled it to nightmare, quit and joined friends nightmare game.
now i got +2 weaps and +2armors.

You keep all xp, weapons, scrap, loot, etc. found while helping out another host, but make no progress in your own game until you host yourself or run it solo.
No one else having issues when friends join your game, but you can join theirs? Is that a known thing?
I don't agree with the complaints about the bosses and adds. I personally like the tension they add, and the constant motion. I have to be aware and active throughout the fights. Also I like the balance they add by giving you your ammo pickups.
I solved this the other day, and it definitely was not that same pattern. :D

I would love to present: Death Stranding. :)
On the serious side: I completely agree with you.
Ok, just got to the Desert and I have been taking my time as I'm loving it all.
I looked, so apologies if I missed it, and I have a question about scaling. I understand how it works. When you hit an area it scales to your gear avg +1. What I don't know for sure is what area entails. Is that all of Earth for example? Or do the dungeons on Earth not scale until you enter those?
Using the Desert I just reached as example. I have explored the main area (MA) you arrive at, and one dungeon (D1) so far without going back to Ward 13 to upgrade so I assume the main area and that dungeon are avg gear +1. If I go back and upgrade, and then come back and explore an area here and find ANOTHER dungeon (D2) (there is a whole chunk I've not explored yet) will that then scale as I'd not entered it like I had D1?
Seems like a simple question, sorry if I am overcomplicating it. Basically Zones scale to avg +1. What is a Zone exactly? All of Earth, or each piece of Earth?

You are 100% right, and the skills you are asked to develop up to that point are: fight multiple enemies, deal with an elite (or two sometimes) that spawn, utilize the environment, stay alive, do dmg and win. This is exactly that the boss fights are except in a smaller room, with a bigger "elite".
First dungeon (typically) in City; lots of Hollow, some elites, and then exploder dudes running at you. No?
Very true, but the trick is to not get hit by those guys. They have a loud squealing tell. They die in 1 shot from any starting long-gun (and 3 from the repeater pistol), and always spawn at a distance so they can run to you (you can get your bearings then deal with them, etc).
Totally understandable. I 100% agree that not everyone will have the same experience.
Again, the adds were never a bandaid solution. They are part of the puzzle.
Told us so? We knew some people would have trouble with it. We also knew some people wouldn't have trouble with it. We could have put sprint on LB and someone would have said "you really shouldn't have put sprint on LB, L3 click is standard" and then said "I hate to tell you I told you so". What does that tell us? We already know not everyone will like every decision. We have reasons for adding the mobs. The tuning values might be too high or too low, but they have legitimate purpose. As mentioned, the fights are puzzles in some way. The boss is the ultimate goal, but not the only thing.
What happens when you run out of scrap? We force you to go farm instead of fighting the boss? If you get afflicted by a disease, you can still beat the boss, and if you die, it's gone (note: It didn't use to, LOL). You run out of ammo, then what? You die and try again? What happens if you need more ammo than is required to kill the boss? Ammo box? Scrap problem again.
Perhaps you should look at it as "plagued with design decisions I don't personally agree with". I may look at a piece of art and say "man I really don't agree with the use of RED in this picture... it's just too loud and takes away from the blues and greens" but does it mean the artist is wrong? Am I wrong? Or... do I just not agree with their specific tasted and/or vision.
I was the #1 tank DPS in the world (while taking the least damage) on Patchwerk according to Elitist Jerks after Xav put up his video of "look how many buttons a top level tank has to press" or whatever it was. They thought my methods were "cheating" and "went against the spirit of the competition" yet I still did the highest DPS and took the lowest amount of DMG. I was also in a top 15 world guild that did top 15 Algalon.
What does that have anything to do with anything?
In your opinion, right? Or is it just 100% matter of fact?
You are 100% correct that people have complained about it. But it is also 100% fact that not everyone, nor the majority have complained about it. Who's right here? I mean, really, I don't care whos actually right in the end. It comes down to "did you enjoy the game?" and if not, thats super cool. I'm very happy you even tried the game. We put a lot of work into it and I think other people are having a pretty fun time... and that's all we can ask for!
There's a difference between having properly scaled adds for a range of player sets versus a catch all add pool. Just saying that you're cool with it because some people enjoy the *neverending* adds on fights like the Mangler is not the right look. It's one of the most annoying things I've come across in any game in my recent memory. We're not complaining just for the hell of it.
Edit: It could be that this feedback blindsided you guys, and that's fine. It happens. But please take it to heart and think about it. It's most definitely not the same as a piece of art with too much color. It's more like we're trying to look at the piece but there's a swarm of flys buzzing around our heads constantly.

Most of the time when I finally beat a difficult boss in this game, it doesn't really feel satisfying, because it feels like the only reason I beat it that time was because the add spawns were more forgiving that time around.
My best attempt at The Risen was when the adds stopped spawning for about 20 seconds.
