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.

Yes, the gunplay looks good to me, and the world design is what brought me in the first place. I just feel I'll be too frustrated by the boss encounter design, and as I know it's a problem known by the devs, I expect them to consider a rework down the line. I'll buy the game for sure, but I don't know if it's now or down the line after an hypothetic patch !

Does matchmaking actually work in this game? I just get "already in session" repeatedly.

I can sometimes eliminate that bug by loading into an offline solo instance. That usually works, but if it fails, closing out of the game and relaunching fixes the issue. I think it's some weird bug where the game still thinks you're in an online session when you really aren't. I haven't figured out what causes it. I've had it happen after getting kicked from an online session, and after quitting out of one of my own volition. Hoping it's something they fix, because it happens often enough to be annoying.

tragic and KirbyKid, just wanted to let you know that I discovered a soft lock state in the IXILLUS fight (at least on PS4). I had Ruin's special mod up (Undying), the one that allows you to self-rez after going down. Things were a little confused, so one of two things happened. I got knocked off the bridge, that much I know. I'm not sure if landing in the chasm killed me, or the hit that sent me flying off the bridge killed me; but either way, I landed in the Chasm and Undying procced, bringing me back to life. My character's model was gone and I couldn't move, shoot, interact, or do anything other than bring up the menu and fiddle with the third person camera. But I had health and the game considered me alive. My two companions eventually went down, but the game wouldn't initiate a team wipe. The bosses could not or would not target/hit me, either. I basically had to quit out of the game in order to let them progress and try again. PS4 version 1.01.

For better or worse, I wouldn't expect a large rework of the boss encounters in a later patch. The dev's have spent a lot of energy here and elsewhere justifying their design decisions and vision for the game. They more or less acknowledge the game isn't for everyone, so if you're not into boss fights with tons of adds, it's a good idea to hold your money.

The bosses are like this for coop. If you're playing solo they are horrible with all the adds. It's not a good experience and they really didn't advertise this game as a solo game at all even though it feels like it could be a good one beside the boss fights. The game is like souls then boss fights turn into Destiny. Without adds the bosses would be pretty easy. They are not meant to be 1v1 fight like in a Souls game usually is and you summon a coop player to generally make it way easier. I wouldn't suggest getting this game to play alone at all.

I'm surprised how much lore is in the game if you are in mood for reading. Seems like a pretty cool setting.

The PS4 will have these same updates in the next patch which should be early tomorrow (submission process and all that).

They will still spawn adds. It's part of the puzzle. Timing/Intensity may still be adjusted.

The entire game was balanced solo NORMAL and solo HARD before coop was ever adjusted. They are 100% absolutely meant to be fought any way you desire, be it single player, 2p, or full 3p.

Really great fun I had in a random game. It had two dudes with mics. Lots of healing and team play. I don't know if I can keep getting lucky like that. Is there Era signups sheet with PSN IDs? I'd figure playing with y'all is better experience.

Also how does progression work? Is your game progression different than joining a public game?

tragic is there a way to get multiplayer lobby show up? Also, can we get emotes and call outs? It's little annoying to tell others "come this way" without mic :p

Your character progression (traits, items etc) is always saved but your world progresses only if you host or play alone.

Any tips for the final boss, this is ridiculous on the second phase with the amount of adds. Even throwing bosses at me during it, am I missing something?

What is the actual hitbox on the petrified maul? Because I'm getting repeated instances is where my swings physically go through enemies without actually damaging them in any way.

Doesn't seem to be every combo, but it's always been the second swing of the uncharged 3-swing combo every time it's happened. The head will pass right through enemies without doing damage or stagger, which I haven't run into with any other melee weapon I've tried yet. All the others have been nice and consistent.

This game is a lot easier to manage solo on pc isn't it lol? again, is ps4 random matchmaking bugged or do I just not understand how to encourage spawns? I can join games but haven't had one random join my public game yet, im def past the coop entry point. Sonicjosh86 if anyone wants to team on ps4 but from the sounds of it most here are on pc (and I don't blame them, really having trouble crowd controlling solo without a mouse)

What's the game's approach to ammo? Is it plentiful or is it limited like in RE games?
Click to expand...

Mobs consistently drop white (hand gun) and red (long gun) ammo bricks which return a percentage of your weapons' total ammo reserves.
Unlike all other loot however, ammo bricks strangely aren't shared. So if one person picks up that red brick you're dying for, you're SoL until the next one comes around. Bit odd, since as far as I can tell, EVERYTHING else is shared. Shards (cash), crafting materials, weapons, armors, accessories, upgrade materials, boss drops. Ammo drops appear to be totally RNG, btw.

Speaking of RNG, the game seems to want to drop ammo bricks more often of the weapon I'm not currently using. So if I rely a lot on my sniper (red ammo), kills with it seem to drop white ammo more commonly. Could just be me, though.

Just want to pop in and say I've really been enjoying this game. Now that I'm really diving into it, a $40 price point feels really generous. This feels like a leap forward for PvE shooters that tons of AAA games have been promising for years now but not delivering. Some truly gorgeous environments in this thing, too. Great work.

After going through it two times i can't help but think Ixillis should be the basis for bosses in this game, he's one of the few that feels actually satisfying to beat and behold, 0 adds. Please more of this, the game has so much potential and this boss proves the team is able to pull it off.

Alright. Starting one up. What else do you think it should include other than our ResetEra/ecosystem usernames, Trait Levels, current Biome/Story progress, and, say, a Comments section for specifying current loadouts or whatever?

I think you got it covered. I would also specify platform (PC/xb1/PS4) and like most probable time of play maybe? And also timezone you're in.

Plentiful single player, co-op ammo is not instanced though, so if you have someone hoovering up it can screw you. There is a consumable to buy that refills it too for cases like that.

    Queen Of Hunting, I have set up a fairly bare-bones Google Sheet with tabs for PS4, XBO, and PC players.
    I'd be most grateful if you could edit it into your OP in a somewhat conspicuous fashion so that folks can easily find it. Perhaps add it as a Threadmark as well?
    I'd like to make it so that only registered users can see it, but I'm not sure how to do that. I'll continue fiddling with this post until I figure it out. I think I got it.

    Anyone with access to the link (below) can edit, so they'll be able to edit in their own details.
    I'm also open to design/new column feedback.

    After loading this update on PS4 have been having constant hard crashes on my current save file soon after loading in. Am assuming the save file got corrupted even though it does not indicate that. Will be starting a new character to see if it happen on a new game.

    Woo! Beat the Root Mother encounter my first try today after stepping away last night.

    Standing on the opposite side of the Mother is totally the best way to do that encounter.

    Just started playing co-op and it's even more fun than solo.

    It's weird though, bosses seem easier, but world enemies are harder...

    tragic After the update on PS4 I can no longer join my friend's game while he is above the surface on Earth. He had to go in to the subway station before I could join, and then at the end when we resurfaced (after the church) it crashed again. Happened about 7 times tonight. I submitted a crash report with videos and screenshots every time.
