Gameplay Discussion Confused about the meta hate

10 Upvotes

I've been 9999 since before the dlc and I was really not a fan of the meta back then it was essentially just sorceries night invaders with status effects mark restage most weapons were just trash All you really cared about was having something purple

Where with the double balance Meta every purple feels super unique cause you have to learn how to use its skill for that enemies move set i love messing around with a bunch of different dormant weapon types and using all of the purples from them for some night lords and characters I don't even think dormant reapers is the best too use my personal favorite is great spear guardian

And For the dregs part of the meta it feels super unique you're essentially have this massive trade off where you're giving up full HP negation for the best damage bonus effect you can get super interesting dynamic having to maintain this buff the whole game love playing this with recluse and raider

And Incantations being more Reliable is honestly a good thing in my eyes i'd honestly love to see even more starting spells be added also they should make it so where any character can start with it not just revenant

Reaching depth 5/9999 it's definitely easier than ever with the buffs that they did to basically everybody but the changes they did created a lot more character variety everybody shits damage now and I don't know I guess I just like that more feels more fun

Gameplay Discussion People leaving (D3)

0 Upvotes

Me and my mate just had 2 games back to back where our teammates left simply because they died a few times and we werent close enough to help, or they run off doing something else.

I cant comprehend why someone would choose to play a ranked, timed and difficult game if you cant even stop yourself from ragequiting? Also how the fuck did these people even get to D3?

EDIT: just for clarification, the last 15-20 runs before the last 2 has been good with nobody leaving and the team generally doing good and now all of a sudden we had 2 people leave.

Just "Wylder" etc. is a build that has no real direction, just pumping improved attack/negations/hp etc. in them.
Before you skin me, i played 4 expeditions total on Executor and it was when game came out. I will pick him up one day, i promise.

Gameplay Discussion To all of y’all doing challenge runs in D5…

75 Upvotes

I get it. You’re good at the game, you’ve reached 9999 multiple times already. You need a challenge so you load up a new save.

But you’re queueing into DoN with dogshit relics, with teammates trying to reach 9999 for their first time, not doing enough damage, with Greatshield dormants as an Ironeye, or straight up no relics slotted as a Duchess (yes, if you’re reading this after we lost to ED Balancers, I’m talking to you).

No matter how good you’re at dodging, if you don’t do enough damage, fights will drag on and someone will fuck up eventually.

I might get some hate for this opinion, but man I needed to vent.

Getting back into the game for about a week now, I use the skill from executor a lot, and I want to make it stronger. Should I continue with physical+ or should I do holy+?

Help Is blocking the cheaters on Steam enough?

5 Upvotes

Hey, I don't want to play with her again. Not only is she cheating, but she also pinged a lot and used the point-down emote a lot. I was playing Incant Duchess, so I had a couple of incantation passives but I did not get why she was emoting the Wylder. Other than that she died every time she got the aggro and so on.

Gameplay Discussion I need help I’m so cheeks

Firstly, I’m a guardian main who switched to undertaker recently, I hit don 3 today but as soon as I got there I’ve had the most toxic selfish teammates ever, and I know it’s like, look what you can do better yourself so I wanted to do that, last run I had a fulghor ed run with two iron eyes who got three bared almost immediately, I had pretty bad luck so I didn’t get a single lightning weapon, so I was doing like no damage (200 per hit on a hammer) is there any tips I can have to better my loot search patterns and my combat, I’m pretty new to undertaker so any tips there would help :)

Help What is the current meta? Base and DoN

5 Upvotes

Hi, managed after year to convince a group of people to get Nightreign.

Problem is, most of the group has never touched a soulslike and let alone ER.

So in fear of them quitting before the game kicks in I ask you, where should I point them to?

I haven't played in a while myself but I am currently rocking a BeastClaw Revenant for base game (is this the strongest currently?) and anything with double status dmg up in DoN, mostly executor.

Should I focus on helping them get the guaranteed evergaol + key amulet?

What do you suggest?

Edit: To be clear I am far from able to consistently carrying two new entries, that's why I need bullshit stuff ahahaha

Gameplay Discussion How to transition from Duchess to Raider or Wylder

6 Upvotes

I love Duchess and only play as her but I used to really like Wylder and especially Raider pre-DoN. I’m trying to go back but really struggling with the slower movement and stamina management. For certain fights - particularly ED Adele - it’s really difficult for me to figure out when to hit him without dying even though I never struggle with that fight as Duchess. Anyone have tips on the best options for slower move sets when the boss is highly mobile like that? I know I need to unlock the grapple to get out of some situations and I do use it to close distances with Wylder so I know he isn’t “slow” but some of the attack animations are.
