Wait, is there a cap on re-rolled levels?
I re-rolled and everything scaled up to my level. It seemed like it actually made it harder for me because I'd made a ton of wrong choices until that point.

Wait, is there a cap on re-rolled levels?
I re-rolled and everything scaled up to my level. It seemed like it actually made it harder for me because I'd made a ton of wrong choices until that point.
So let me get this straight: It is best to discover a new area, go back to Ward 13 to upgrade your stuff and go back to the area, right? This way you get to over level the previously discovered the area because it scaled its level to your average level when you first discovered it?
From my understanding when you reroll the campaign the starting area will be up to your level and +1. When I did it last night the game felt a bit more challenging but that's what i want from playing a "new" rerolled campaign. Not sure it will feel this way all the way through but we'll see.
Got the canyon area in Rhom after my reroll and, wow, that felt a lot different than any previous area I had experienced.
I think I'm more addicted to upgrading traits than I am anything else, the excellent gameplay and loot are great extras too.
-----------------------------------
I defeated Gorefist twice now, first time was in joining someone else's game as the angry fella wasn't in my campaign but after a reroll he was the first boss I encountered but both times he didn't leave me anything for my troubles, is this normal? If not what weapon/mod does he drop crafting materials for?

Do you mean on the ground? When I beat him he didn't leave anything on the ground, but something popped into my inventory.
I just watched the Jimpressions...seemed a bit too harsh, the basic points are more or less the ones I hold against the game (billions of adds during bosses), but the "mediocre rubbish" seems simply...petty. I get opinions are personal and all that, but this seemed unfair and needlessly brutal.
A lot of people are saying that the Rattle Weed should be nerfed lol. It's so easy to have the entire crew running them letting you basically ignore the threat of adds. This is a tough one to balance!
That's what we wanted to do back then!
What we found in testing and many many playthroughs is that players would often go into a new area, see the World Stone/Shard and decide "I'm going to go back to town and level up for this next area". Since the area level is locked when you first go in, this ended up making every zone and every area much easier. So instead, it now locks the zone at +1 to your level (which is a mere 10% diff with even gear, very very doable) and if you level up, it puts you even or well above. Quite often people would level up their gun(s) twice but leave armor, so they'd be above on dmg, lower on armor, or vice versa. In our testing, we found it didn't have a huuuge impact on the time to kill (10% up or down).
Yeah, I mean a crafting material in my inventory for a specific weapon or mod. I believe he's the only real boss that hasn't dropped me anything.
Edit: Nevermind as I watched a video and he drops the Flesh Barb which I do remember getting at some point, I don't remember what weapon or mod you get from it however.

Just to be sure, is the level based on weapons, armour, traits, or all three? And for traits, are they earned traits, or spent traits?
Is there a cap to the individual levels, or is it always Current Level + 1 to infinity?
I think his anger about the adds clouded his judgment on the game. He spent like 7 or 8 minutes just railing against them. Which I get. But I think that anger is clouded his view on other things
Pretty sure you just need to have your game set to "Public".
Count me as someone who also doesn't enjoy the infinite adds during the boss. I'm really enjoying virtually everything else about this Remnant, but this just feels like lazy game design and is not fun...
Change your game from Friends Only to public on the main menu before you start game.
Cheers. Any specific spot where i can get summons? Like before bosses? Just stand by the crystal?
If you join while someone is out on the hunt, you'll spectate until they go to a crystal. If they're at Ward 13, you'll zone in automatically.
So if you see someone join your game, hit up a crystal and they'll join you.
Unlike Dark Souls, you don't have to worry about only specific places where you can coop with randos.
So i've had this game for 3 days now and have yet to be able to play online it just sits at searching, i'm on xboxone and honestly don't have too much interest in playing solo. what's going on? is it possible to get a refund? I feel really ripped off right now.
While I respect anyone's opinion (as long as it's delivered in a decent way), I think it's pretty safe to say Jim did his review on the City only. He talks only about the drab brown/greys in his review, then in the comments he clearly says "game gets better 5 hours in". Either way, his points are still fair. The game isn't for everyone!
Edit: This is a general reply to his overall review, not the adds thing. Clarification.
Going to pick this up tonight with two other friends - really excited to get home. Are there multiple save files/character slots? Can I start a character by myself tonight and a new one when my friends get on later?
I may be wrong but I think there may be a MM glitch on Xbox. I can't find any public games, get infinite search loop. I can co op with a friend absolutely fine, however.
I'm still on the fence with this game as i'm not sure whether i'll really like it. I love Gunfire games but if this is really only enjoyable in coop then I dunno how much I'll get out of it as I only play single player games. If the bosses are just gonna be cheap bullet sponges in single player then it might not be that fun?
Also is there lots of cool loot and gear? what are the incentives in going through areas multiple times like Diablo?

Looks like Sterling didn't have too great of a time with it.
EDIT: ah, loaded in a page further back than I thought. Didn't see the discussion already going on about it.

I'm having a blast solo. And i wouldn't call any of the bosses cheap or bullet spongy and I'm about halfway through?
The loot is pretty disappointing so far. All I've really found is crafting material and some rings.
I think he has a legitimate criticism of an aspect, but seems to just give up (which is his right), blow it waaaaay out of proportion, and despite saying he completed the game both solo and grouped, seems to dislike the "samey graphics".
Sometimes, just sometimes, I think he enjoys being a contrarian and dispensing vitriol where none is warranted. ERA might not be the best example, but so far both community and devs (at least you, tragic ) seem to be level headed and honestly pleasant...
Does he ever have a great time with anything? All he seems to do is rant about shit.
Boss materials go straight to your inventory after a kill (impossible to leave it behind and miss it), and to my knowledge, you're limited to one drop per character. Period. Do note that some bosses have alt. kill strats which will net you an alt. drop, which can then be crafted into an alt. weapon or mod. So for those bosses (mostly world bosses, I believe), if you want both (or more) of their available loot, you'll need to go for at least as many kills as it has materials.
As an example, both Ent and Singe have alternative kills. For the former, you need to DPS a leg until it breaks, then kill it. For Singe, do the same to rip off its tail, then finish it off. Some of the alt. kills later get trickier to do. Note that if you get an alt. kill, you'll only get the alt. material, not the "default" material.
It's coming very soon. Due to the timed submission process (nothing we can do about that) it takes a little longer. However, after a certain period, patches for consoles become 24 hours. Just a matter of time before we reach that threshhold and we can have all 3 versions in sync!!! Gonna be great!
We do our best. KirbyKid and myself (and anyone else) are always willing to talk with the players. We may not always agree on the vision, but that doesn't mean we don't want to hear feedback or criticism!
For the most part, only the negative Jimpressions get posted here. The videos where he actually enjoys something don't lead to the type of discussion the OP's tend to be looking for. Look on his channel, and you'll find games he actually enjoys.
I can vouche for this. I have been rather outspoken on my views on adds but I had a great 1 on 1 with Kirby yesterday. It was just he and I talking about design philosophy.
I'm on the Root Mother now, and I do fine until I have like thirty seconds left and two of the teleporters and one of the sword guys show up at the same time. If I go for the teleporters first the Root Mother seems to get all the aggro and I can't do enough damage to peel the sword guy off her afterwards. If I go for the sword guy first, the teleporters plink me to death.
Reading back in the thread it seems my trouble may be that I've been standing in front of the Root Mother and trying to guard her. Better luck tonight, hopefully!
Most of the game so far tends to favour the playstyle of moving cautiously, managing who you engage, and controlling chokepoints. These mosh pits keep throwing me for a loop.

Yeah, stand near at the starting waves and once the bigger stuff appears, hang near the back and just interrupt them from hitting Mother. Last 30 seconds or so, just run around avoiding everyone and the timer will expire and they all explode.
I got the smg, what should I use for a main? Have the coach gun and it's ok but only two shots before reloading is pretty bunk; I've heard the assault rifle is great but I'm not about to join or reroll a bunch of times to get it.
Also on ps4 I can join randoms fine but I've never once had someone Load into my personal game, am I supposed to be doing anything besides being in public for it to happen lol.

Am loving changing my gear to match the various enemy types and bosses. I never really got into Souls but I feel the emphasis on ranged combat in this is more my thing. The loot is much more about switching perks in and out than stats. This isn't Diablo.
Did some bosses solo and enjoyed also. Yet to run into major issues with adds. I think Singe would have been annoying, but I did that in co op.

His points about the adds during boss fights are fair. His critique that the worlds are drab is off in my opinion. Exploring the interesting locations is the only thing pushing me through the bullshit bosses. Also, the gunplay is good, definitely far from mediocre.
Totally agree. I wish I could select a third weapon without going through the menu.
Fighting the Ent right now and while I despised the use of those spore enemies during the Gorefist fight, this one actually seems like a very effective use of them. You can always see where they're spawning in from, they're effected by the boss' attacks, and it's open enough that you wont get caught up on parts of the arena trying to avoid them. The fight itself is actually really interesting and probably my favorite boss so far; particularly with it being the first that isn't just a normal enemy given minions and a single new ability. Plus I'm a sucker for bosses that take battle damage during the fight, like how its legs work.
