this game looks so ass wtf is this shit

42

theres no way they made this shit a common drop from deeproot enemies wtf

update good

43

ok having played the update a bit im gonna give my thoughts on that instead of the old thoughts i had with the game (i still largely agree with them)

  • the gear system is good, but i wish there was more interactivity between gears/skills. like i would love to set myself on fire with immolate and get buffs so long as im on fire, but as it stands immolate is its own thing so it cant interact with the gear that heals you when you’re on fire. there is some interactivity but not enough to feel like a full build around it.
  • it is insanely obvious what’s new and what’s old. the old writing always felt somewhat like it was trying to write real people, but the new characters feel so… lifeless?? like youre telling me a dude responsible for a major covenant is named “sky man” and talks like a 13 year old on deviantart?
  • also the new covenants? not really a fan of them… at all! bosses are locked behind them, one of them just feels like a better way of life which like, removes the point? blades of the world and way of life felt like, i dunno, actual guilds/communities in the world while these two just look like “hey guys its the light and dark from the title!!! its the thing!!!”
  • the revamped world, while pretty and i will say is objectively better in certain areas (deeproot depths), has so much copy/paste to it that it ends up feeling flat.

    like do you really need 4 identical mushroom lights within eyesight of each other? this is especially bad in caldera since theres so many random houses you can enter that serve no point that it ends up making navigation harder.
  • inferno enchant was made far easier (good), new enemies imo are bad aside from goblin (night raider has a lot of health and way too many options for so little cost; sentient darkness is just block every other turn or get one-tapped; star slime can stun on you ON DODGE), beastmaster is like largely useless because the bestiary is broken

same here, its infinitely better than the old accesory system but could use a lot of improvement

they basically just have people on visuals and animations, you can tell everything else was done by a team with almost no experience

-game was and still is buggy as hell with d&l
-writing is major ass lmao
-god awful balancing (arkhaia instakilling tm8s with chains if you hit him and blessed even being conceived as an enchantment)

imo wol is better if youre actively going healer

STILL EMPTY!!

i still enjoy the gameplay a lot, but this was disapointing as an update overall
i can cut them a bit of slack since they redid the entire backend but its still sad

i just hope tundra is far better

47

Progression in that game is pretty slow and unsatisfying. Can never start a combat encounter when you want to, only when you don’t. Impossible to find some class trainers too. All around a snooze fest.

48

havent but like im not looking forwards to it at all

incredibly obvious. visuals look good but the general gameplay feels the same especially the bad sections, notably the bugs.
not saying they gotta change everything, but like. maybe make certain things better, yknow?

i guess its more playstyle/class dependent, but imo id rather have heals + buffs like damage resistance than pure heals

yeah i wish they replaced random encounters with overworld encounters

game is still unfortunately a wiki game. i woulda never found berserker if i didnt google it

the funny part is that none of eclipses complaints will be changed whatsoever if they DO watch the video even though most of them are valid

friend of mine mentioned potentially adding recommended level popups to areas and a bunch of mfs starting saying it would ruin the game and blah blah blah tldr they thought rogue lineage was a good game so that says everything you need to know

52

If someone unironically thinks rogue lineage is good game design then they need mental help

lmao

Would you rather:
A: Trial and error through a lineage game.
(You will be forced to restart repeatedly)
B: Look at the trello.

55

idk why people try to defend this design, you literally have to walk into a thing that otherwise would kill you in like 3 seconds after doing a specific quest to get an enchant lmao (not even the worst example)

i dont think they understand they can still enjoy a game even if it objectively has bad design, and thus we get morons like this who defend the most idiotic shit ever

Where is the third option where I just realize this game isn’t worth my time?

57

That’s hidden option C, the only one where you win.

58

hey @EdEdward you wanna know something mad stupid about the new covenants?
they’re covenant locked :))
if you join botw (maybe wol) you can’t join the new ones :)))

(at least im pretty sure they are since it wont let me join either and other ppl online have brought up the same thing)
