I honestly cant remember a game having this much of an cultural impact at this one has. Maybe World of Warcraft when it was released?
Enjoy the boss....
Horses for courses I guess, but I feel the game is better for not having the things he has suggested in particular in regards to level scaling. No harm in putting them in as options though I guess, but i'd say keep them off as default because people (including me) get caught up on playing the game 'the way it should be played'. Also, assuming the level scaling would offer more souls, then surely it would be possible to be overlevelled pretty quickly? If the scaling didn't offer more souls then it would make running through early areas tedious as feck.
That was an extremely small part of the video to be fair.
Ah it linked to that part of the video specifically so I assumed you were mostly referring to that.
My bad, must have been at that point when I copied the link. I'll update the post.
I'm partial to a platinum trophy. Not sure if I'm going to get it in this game though. When I'm finished i think I'm going to move on. Maybe come back at a later date.
Nah you've not got too long left in the main story. Obviously there's lots of side stuff that might still need doing - Malenia in particular is the one worth looking at since you are in that general area.
Yeah, Mohg was a nightmare. But that has a lot to do with how I've spec'd my character. I think my vigor was at something like high 30's. So I was basically getting one-shotted. I had to do it without getting hit by one of his big attacks, basically. It was a pain in the arse.
Does anyone actually up their vigor past low 30's??? Feel like 30 or 32 is plenty. Think you just need stronger armor/more endurance! Mohg I found pretty easy. Though I feel as if I've overlevelled. Was about 110 when I beat Leyndell Capital, none of the bosses were much of a challenge.
When I finished the game I had 48 I think.
Just feels like wasted points. If I don't get 1 or 2 shotted than as long as I have the endurance to roll away and heal with flasks then that works for me. Ive never found that I run out of flasks either, since I have like 10 healing flasks. I am only in the 110-120 range but Id rather pump endurance to wear better armor and then the damage stats than vigor personally.
Yeah, maybe it is armor. To be honest, because I'm running a magic build I typically keep away from enemies, but I've found it difficult to keep away from some of the last few bosses I've fought. Hence why I'm literally getting one-shotted. Magic is cool until you come up against an enemy that doesn't allow you to cast a spell without smacking you down first.
I saw a post on reddit that showed that armor makes feck all difference in the game and you may as well go cosmetic unless you're doing magic specific areas or need a certain buff one gives. Having 50ish vigor was a much bigger deal for me.
Yeah probably the armor then. Are you using any of those talismans where you take more damage in exchange for more levels? Those usually aren't worth it as it kills you defensively.
No. I got one where your health regenerates automatically, and one where it boosts your intelligence. Because I wanted to use a specific spell. And the other two I got I can't remember off the top of my head.
Hmmm not sure. I definitely feel like it's made a difference in terms of something that would previously 1 or 2 shot me, making me last just about past that. A big one is poise too. If people stagger easily when you block them, it goes a long way. My endurance is up at 38 now, vigor at 32 and both feel more than enough. Also getting that erdtree talisman +1 where it significantly boosts your vigor and stamina is a must IMO. Lets you keep those stats lower than normal maybe.
What? I had 60 by the end. Not sure how you could tackle the end game with less than 45-50 unless you're a dodge god. Having things one shot you isn't fun.
Ah fair. Since you beat Mohg, I'd go with that erdtree favor +1 over the health Regen by the way, the health Regen I found just worked too slowly and didnt Regen fast enough to make an effective difference during boss fights?
Really?? I dunno I just shield and dodge and go patiently with it. At mountaintop of giants right now. Have really strong armor on and use the erdtree favor +1 to give an extra boost, but I don't get 1 shotted and most things don't 2 shot me either. Always enough time to roll away and heal and then go back in.
Ahh, you might find it to be on the low side from here on since there's a big difficulty spike until the end of the game. A lot of the mobs in consecrated snow fields/haligtree/crumbling azula hit like a truck. Just bear that in mind.
Fair enough! Numbers wise I don't think there's sense in going past 40. 39 to 40 you gain 48 HP, 40 to 41 you gain 26 HP. 60 to 61 you gain 6 HP. Basically level 40 is your cap where it makes sense leveling up to, past that you need multiple levels to have the same effect it did before. Basically you get the same amount of HP boost going from 30-40 (450 HP) that you do going from 40-60, and then past 60 is entirely pointless as 60-99 you only get another 200 HP.
I had to respect and got mine up in the 50s. I wouldn't have beat the game otherwise, definitely not Malenia either.
Guess I'll see how she is when I get to her! Just purely number wise and bang for your buck, 40 seems like a logical cap to stop at.
Just realized that there are 2 Mohg's. Ignore me. I was talking about the one in the sewers at Leyndell Capital who was easy. Haven't fought the other one in Siofra yet.
Vigor scaling is very strong in this game and endurance scaling is pretty average. Go from 30 to 40 Vigor and you get almost 50% more health. Go from 30 to 40 End and you get just 17% more carry weight. Even after the Vigor softcap at 40, it still scales extremely well right up til 60. You should definitely be thinking 40 to 60 vig, unless you have problems with your weapon weight.
This just encourages me to go for 60
Yeah, the one in Leyndell is easy. Had no trouble with that one. The other one? Not so much! I just checked, my vigor is now at 35, but it was at 33 when i fought Mohg. That wasn't enough, IMO. I fecked myself over there. I would recommend going into that fight with your vigor higher than that.
A lot
This is a safe space mate - no need to feel ashamed here!
Yeah I have both those plats too and you are right…. sekiro was a chore at times. But loved the gameThis is a safe space mate - no need to feel ashamed here!
I'll probably end up getting it. But not right away. I'll take a break from the game first, I think. I got the plat in Bloodborne and Sekiro and they took ages. Sekiro in particular was a pain in the arse.
I agree I really dislike level scaling, its just makes an entire game feel meh... you never feel under powered and you never feel over powered, everything just feels the same, the best part of games are progression and you get the best feeling of progression when you ride back through Limgrave and smash everything you can feel your progress. Going back and obliterating the tree spirit is rewarding because it felt so hopeless early. Level scaling shits all over that.
The hard Mog isn't nearly as difficult if you have a certain wonderous physic. Once I found that myself and Mimic Tear laid the smack down on him.
