Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131
the endgame is really unbalanced
It's kinda the opposite of old school D&D; instead of magic-users being shit at low levels and being able to delete everything at high levels, they're deleters at low levels and magic often feels more supplementary in the late game
sudo TPK games
I think I don't really have a problem with it in Souls games because from my first time playing DkS1, I felt magic was supplementary to melee, that it would be just way too frustrating to play the game without having knowledge of a lot of it to play with just magic.
kaze games
like, maybe include a version of the mod that doesn't permanently run at shit fps because they fucked up the graphics too much
sudo TPK games
That having been said, I started with a pyromancy build the first time through DkS1, which has significantly less casts than sorcery, and offensive faith I would've never figured out without reading a ton before playing.
sudo TPK games
Just saying I can understand the criticism of magic in the series, I just think my first experience, and how I've played mostly the entire series, makes me not really care about being a "pure caster."
kaze games
there's a lot of downtime between attack windows if you're ONLY playing melee in er and that shit is frustrating as hell
kaze games
and there's so many different kinds of consumables to use that I honestly feel kinda stupid for not using any of them initially
kaze games
example, I knew from trial and error that I could stagger him quickly twice at the start by doing that I do in that clip

I could imagine there are tons of times in ER where if you're playing only melee, it'd feel like you're fighting Moonlight Butterfly. ._.
kaze games
final boss is a particularly bad example since he just runs away from you and every movement he makes sends him to brazil
sudo TPK games
I hated Moonlight Butterfly until I did a sorc build. It's never a hard boss, but there are times where you can sit doing absolutely nothing besides an occasional roll for 45+ sec

That’s how staggering’s always been
yeah but with the heavier focus on it in this game compared to the souls games just having a bar like in sekiro would have done a lot for making fights feel consistent without extensive trial and error

Running away wouldn’t have been a problem if he only did it after you got some hits in like most teleporting bosses prior

I don’t think it’s necessary to include a visible meter when you’re killing it effectively the same way regardless
sudo TPK games
I guess I was just kinda scared that more shit would be getting nerfed, and nerfed heavy, because of spending too much time on GameFAQs boards. Balancing from at least DkS2 onward - especially MASSIVE nerfs, to the point where shit feels completely useless in PvE - has reflected what the FOTM for people on GameFAQs to bitch about in PvP that I was expecting this patch to be like, "Bleed? Yeah, that gets like 10% of buildup."
sudo TPK games
And patch 1.03 for ER, a lot of shit people were bitching about on GameFAQs for PvP ended up getting massive nerfs, to the point where it feels useless for PvE

yeah I mean I don't think it's strictly necessary either, I just personally think it would have made fights feel more consistent without putting in tons of effort to learn exactly what will stagger and when
sudo TPK games
I've been saying since DkS2, when they did the huge nerfs in the patch SotFS came with, that they should have a "PvP power" stat, visible or invisible, where they can tweak numbers for PvP without killing it for PvE

moonveil and sword of night and flame deserved the nerfs (edited)
Luckily those weren't nerfed to the point of feeling useless. I'm talking things like Barricade Shield, which had its FP cost doubled and duration halved, effectively being 4x as much FP for the same duration, or Bloody Slash taking a massively higher chunk of HP, to the point where you can almost kill yourself at low levels(which it only really seems useful early game in the first place), and still increased cast time and recovery time.
kaze games
also unrelated note, but I would love to just have rolls be on-press rather than on-release, I'm not really sure how you would handle it but it's bothered me a lot more in this game than in souls/bb
