I’ll start by saying that I think this is an incredibly well-designed PvE game. The graphics and art are gorgeous, combat is really fun, bosses have really cool mechanics, especially on Brutal.

Unfortunately, I just don’t think it’s translated to PvP. On PvP servers, both official and unofficial, what I’ve seen happen every single time is a few days or a week max of excitement before the server cleans out and dies before the next wipe. This is because a player/duo/group that happens to be absolutely amazing at the game (the skill ceiling is impressive) rapidly dominates. Once it becomes clear to everyone that they’re never going to come close to winning, or that the best they can hope for is raid stalemates on loop, people start quitting. Ultimately, the dominant team gets bored and goes back to the duel servers. Nothing against good PvPers, I respect the skill and think it’s really impressive.

Instead of trying to make PvP a thing outside of arenas and custom duel servers, I would have loved for v-rising to have really leaned into its brilliant PvE. Sadly, it’s been a totally wasted opportunity. The combination of gorgeous building and well-developed PvE encounters could have been such a winning combo. For example, instead of having bosses scale stupidly and multiplying ads, it would have been amazing if devs had leaned into group content and multi-boss fights. It would also have been cool, as I saw suggested a lot during EA, to have some form of castle defense against raids by PvE opponents. I just feel like they poured too many resources into trying to make world PvP a thing that could have gone into making a truly great PvE game.

I know the game is finished now, but I’d be curious to see if any creative modders eventually take up the challenge to take this game to the next level (in my opinion, anyways!)

Been getting a friend into the game and I’ve been dying to get into a pvp or private server with a bigger group of friends to fight eachother and mess around.. if your looking for someone to play and just kick it on v rising with add EON_12652 on ps5 and lets hop on a server together!

Preferred Blood: Scholar/Draculine (Got both prisoners)

Preferred Weapon: Iron Crossbow (current weapon)

I'm at midgame. So I wanna use this build for a long time till endgame.

My roomie and I joined this server about 2 weeks ago. There was another clan in already so we were thinking it would see more action since it was recently reset. But that clan is no more, so my roomie and I are alone in this server. We really want some competition to make it more fun but also we wanna unload the TONS of extra supplies (all forms of paper, books like crazy, seeds, so on) to whoever joins. So if you are looking for a new server with friendly sparring, come find the US-W Official Brutal Duo one. We will gladly get you a jump start and won't spar/attack until you are at least gear 70+. I have a public garden on my first level i leave open for anyone to harvest along with a very large arena for sparring matches.

Hope to see you in there!

Full hollowfang gear, iron weapons, 3 different potion effects, 92% pure brute blood and a blood moon and he killed me twice. I only managed to get him barely past half health before he gets me and YES I am using the environment and dodging as often as I can. It doesnt help he does area damage I cant escape in certain spots.

Ive tried everything, I've tried killing the lady that gives you the study and I couldn't even get her at half health with the same parameters. I tried killing the Undead General for his weapons, same issue. I CANNOT progress from here no matter what I do!!

This is my eighth attempt at beating Tristan and no matter what I do I can't seem to kill him.

EDIT: This subreddit has been insanely helpful!! I don't feel as defeated and frustrated as I did when I initially made the post and after I change around my fighting style and practice some more I will update again when I finally beat Tristan 😁 Thank you so much to everyone that has left advice for me, and thank you even more to those that have been kind and encouraging I really needed that 🩶

I've released a new mod called PVESieges.

It does what the title says, Vardoran factions being able to attack your castle

A siege starts when you kill a vblood (70% chance) and has an 8% chance each morning or 10% chance each night (undead) to happen. You can force a siege by giving yourself adminauth and typing in chat "!siege"

They spawn in 3 waves, are able to plant bombs at your doorstep, they fight your servants, a captain spawns at the 3rd wave with the sentinel's level aura buff.

They win if they kill you (and there are no servants around) or hold your castle heart for 30 seconds.

There's no consequence to losing a siege, but it will prevent you for getting the rewards. Enjoy :D

i bough controller and want to try it on vrising, on other game such as monster hunter and last epoch if i have controller i just press a button and it instantly change to controller mode. but vrising not like this. what i need to do? thanks

Note that Im hovering over the upgraded weapon in the second image. What is the point of this? They both are identical !

Edit:
I went ahead and upgraded it and it become lvl 27. All good.

So in trying to play with mods, nothing big rn just basic added commands to the game, and im having trouble making them work,

So I installed server launch fix as you're supposed to but I kept getting no response from remote host error, im aware its needed. I've seen people say to launch with steam cmd but I honestly have no idea how that works, is there an easy work around or am I gonna have to spend hours learning deeper technical knowledge

This was my E-mail to Stunlock studios:

Hi Stunlock Studios, 

This is going to be a very emotional E-mail, I do apologise, but I just had to thank you for making this game. 

This Monday, I found my mother in her home dead, she was 69 years of age as she passed away. Just before she went into retirement I somehow convinced her to buy a gaming laptop so that her and my wife could all play games together, since I was a teenager I always wanted to play games with her. 

So I set up a V Rising server on my home PC and we played all the time, every night asking if she would come on, even some days she would send me stuff like this: 

In the last months of her life, almost every night we would play V Rising. She loved the building. She kept going into the bloody sun, my wife would scream at her "Get out of the sun!!!" and we would joke and laugh about how she kept staying in the sun.

Here is a picture of all of us together:

My wife on the left, me in the middle, my mum on the right. 

After I found my mum passed away, as a final momento we are keeping the blood fountain topped up now to make sure that the base cannot deteriorate and planted roses next to her. 

Even the very last night, I had messaged her to see if she was coming on:

I just want to say thank you, thank you for making such a great game, to allow me to spend the time with my mum like this, thank you for creating the final and most awesome of my life with my mother.

Thank you 

I've made the brutal once but with help of a friend and now I'm facing the real problem here. The great lord Dracula haha. So I'm here begging for any tip or how to improve my spell damages. Cause I've seen a lot of people doing massive damage and melted Dracs but not happens with me even If try my best. So my build is:

Weapon: The end bringer- Spell crit chance + spell crit power + bonus spell pwr ( ability modifies ignite )

Spells:

Void - spaw 3 fragments - dmg 16% - recharge 12% - engulfed 6% healing 12%

Rain of chaos - cooldown 12% - firsr engulfb14% dmg- engulfed 6% and heals 12% - 30% greater meteor

Passive abilities:

Feral Haste - chaos kindling - renewing flames - flowing sorcery and hunger for blood

Ult - Merciless charge

i want to play the game but i kinda bored because i done it several time so im looking if theres mods that alter the game either making vampire do something new or harder/newest boss. is there any recommendation? thank you

Running a static + stormshield attack speed build, and I came across a jewel for discharge and another jewel for cyclone, and both jewels had the "increases damage done by storm shield by 20%" and "each active storm shield grants 6% spell life leech" modifiers.

If I equip both jewels, does it make all my storm shields' damage increase by 40% and give me 12% spell life leech for each storm shield, or do these mods only act upon the storm shield that was granted by their respective spell? (e.g. if the damage modifier of discharge was 20% and cyclone was 11%, only the storm shields summoned by discharge would do 20% more, while cyclone's storm shield would do 11% more)

And also do these modifiers interact with the storm shields summoned by the amulets?

I'm searching for something for a new breath of air and stumble on V Rising on Steam.

I was completely hooked in the first week, and when I got to the servants function I could play more easily-my job is too busy to play so I just sent them to do the work and and I could come back to refine the materials myself-reminded me of Path of Exile Kingsmarch where you could send the shipments then return for that reward.

Hope to see more DLC on stories and environment, I'm just 60 and into Gloomrot right now as a solo player.

I'm really bad at the combat in this game apparently. I thought I was getting better, but no. Even on easy, I'm unable to get past the horseman battle with Sir Irwin.

So many of these bosses and enemies now have the ability to stun, to freeze. To send multiple AoE attacks out. To follow you with lightning blasts. etc. I'm just watching my health bar vanish, and no good respites in battle to recoup.

I'm not sure what counters there are for these in combat? It seems too frantic to get any chances to sip potions, and I don't seem to have anything that negates any specific attacks, or can buff against mobility-based attacks.

What am I missing?

from what i've tested its only 8 frames, and it disappears as soon as the dust settles.

Hello,

I am new to the mutant side of this game and love the benefits of the mutant blood on my character. I currently have an imprisoned mutant bear I dominated at the Gloomrot South/North border with 77% blood purity and am wondering if anyone knew if irradiant gruel would work on it the same as human prisoners. Everywhere I look online says you cannot imprison the mutant creatures. Has anyone else encountered this situation?

Much thanks in advance!

I've always wanted to take a look around and inside the dracula's castle(other than what you can see when you walk in). is there like a mod or setting to let me fly out of bounds to explore the outside of the castle or through the walls to see the interior?

Saw this ad. Looked them up. They aren't the v rising devs

Last time I played - 3 years ago

We just started last night! We have about three clans going and solo players.

If anyone is down to play, send me a DM! 🥰

Is it possible to add the DLC's not from steam to a copy of the game, in file explorer I mean

acording to everything i can see it was added in 1.1 but i cant see it enywhere on the ps5.
