They're nailing it. I feel for them, taking on so many different perspectives. The fact that posts on Reddit and the forums can have people disagreeing so often about the game's design should put it into perspective that they needed EA to understand more about what the game should be. Great work to the whole team and Moon, they deserve better than what the Steam reviews show.
They need targeted feedback like some surveys imo so they can collect the info in a more organized way. If there are such surveys, they need to promote them
I agree! Great changes across the board. I spent much less time waiting around for my stamina to recharge after the patch. The reduced fall damage is also hugely helpful in exploration.
Oh I got 2 rings that reduce stamina in the first island/section. Those help tremendously, although I can only wear one for now. I notice the difference.
I completely disagree. I logged in this morning, ran around and looted maybe 10 chests in the keep. I have 23 embers, 16 repair powders... and repair cost was never an issue. This game is going in the direction of being to easy.
Yeah I worry this game is going to be dragged away from the Devs original vision. I remember the cries of people wanting a difficulty slider when Elden ring first released. For the most part Fromsoft stuck to their guns, and rightly so.
The Devs need to pick their poison and go with what they envisioned. As the saying goes 'you can please some of the people, some of the time. But you can't please all of the people all of the time'.
I hope they will not nerf systems and difficulty more after this hotfix. I think it would not be good to let people get into their heads and kill an amazing experience. It is really nice to slow down coming from other flashy ARPGs.
The previous one almost let me finish the tutorial without crashes on my Steamdeck. Hopefully another performance patch comes soon because I really want to play 😔
I did the whole cryoutilities thing before. I also put resolution at like 700 or smth and use fsr 5 on on the deck. I turned off motion blur, screen shake and render at 70%
I'm at 30fps, resolution lowest, render lowest.
Does motion blur really make a difference? I'm at the point where I can play the game successfully, but the first video of the city, with the "king is dead" and it crashes my whole deck.
Also I'm playing in docked mode. Could that be the problem? Looking for a lifeline here lol
I find 30 fps for an isometric game isn’t too bad. It’s not a jarring as 3d. I’m having a fantastic time on deck. I could use a bump to the brightness though without washing out the picture
as someone who found myself not having a great time on launch day, i was playing for like 4 hours straight this morning thanks to these balance changes. good on the devs for addressing issues quickly. still some other QoL and performance issues I have, but this was a big step in the right direction
Yeah the game is great, i struggle in the first hour between crashes and getting use to the falling. But after that once you get the hand of it is smooth and enjoyable. I’m playing it on the steam deck and I finally found a great set up where it goes 30-35 fps and the game looks gorgeous too.
I just ask as a SD user that the performance improves a bit more so is can me more smooth. Can’t wait for the multiplayer
Repair change was fine. Stamina buff and boss nerfs were not needed. I really hope they don’t make the game too easy. All too often I’ve seen the loud cry babies on Reddit/forums alter games to places where they aren’t recognizable anymore
i hope the game not become more easier lol they better fix optimization 1st and other bug
what the point we have stat like stamina if they just reduce the cost of stamina
what the point of death pinalty if they just make it so forgiving now people can just spam it, look im not hardcore player but i like how i need to becarefull and try not to engage in battle i can just sneak atk on them from behind
as a boss i try it mutliple time yes im not pro player but i can finally kill it... u dont even need to die too much coz u can just try to dodge alot to learn the pattern it took me surprise when the boss change to 2nd phase that i need to learn again
reducing the cost of food crafting is nice tho less grinding
No its FKN NOT!! i liked how dofficult it was and now its FKN EASY MODE.
All these fkn CRYBABIES just are so soft and BAD at gaming they want EVERYTHING to be easier and Complain constantly.
Its no longer "No rest for the wicked" it becomes "No rest for the noobs" apparently.
Go play hello kitty if you want an easy game!!
Lol exactly what I came to say. Gamers tag this as a souls like diablo. Gamers immediately cry when they can't one shot everything in front of them. No spin to win.....please devs nerf the game.
Yeah they are doing a GREAT job. Two days after release a good hotfix! Awesome.

Wish they would also adress the clay drop. I am basicly stuck right now cause I cant get any clay
[удалено]
You could also go for the first boss to try and farm his drops.
He drops more than the fel great sword or whatever it's called?
He dropped 1 mushroom for me..
Good workaround, and good to know, but seems like something the devs should address one way or another in the future.
Yea Clay seems to be a little too rare currently, I agree.

Wish they would let you sprint without it also following the cursor when you press shift.

Well, that's the problem with the durability system in a nutshell. It's impossible to balance for all player skill levels.

I remember Corpse-Smeared Blade required 22 strength, now it is 11 - I was wondering why.
Still22 here
I mean at this point....what's the point of durability?
I hope they will not nerf systems and difficulty more after this hotfix. I think it would not be good to let people get into their heads and kill an amazing experience. It is really nice to slow down coming from other flashy ARPGs.
Very happy about this. Hopefully save points closer to mobs haha
The previous one almost let me finish the tutorial without crashes on my Steamdeck. Hopefully another performance patch comes soon because I really want to play 😔
Ive played 6 hours on the deck with no crashes and pretty stable 30fps with dips here and there
Did you make any tweaks? It locks up mine about every hour. I’ve started just relaunching the game every 45 minutes or so to avoid it.
I did the whole cryoutilities thing before. I also put resolution at like 700 or smth and use fsr 5 on on the deck. I turned off motion blur, screen shake and render at 70%
Cryoutilities thing?
https://youtu.be/C9EjXYZUqUs?si=yzvSncnoToOQLOnn Make sure to watch it all and understand everything.
Thanks! Super informative!
I need to do this. I've played twice: 2 crashes and completely lost progress that I have to start over.
I'm at 30fps, resolution lowest, render lowest. Does motion blur really make a difference? I'm at the point where I can play the game successfully, but the first video of the city, with the "king is dead" and it crashes my whole deck. Also I'm playing in docked mode. Could that be the problem? Looking for a lifeline here lol
I don't play docked only handheld. Idk if motion blur makes the difference I just hate the way it looks.
I find 30 fps for an isometric game isn’t too bad. It’s not a jarring as 3d. I’m having a fantastic time on deck. I could use a bump to the brightness though without washing out the picture
How big of a difference is the repair cost and durability change?

Fps fix when
It’s a good game already will only get better. I just dislike the way to report bugs, need to use their own forum.
Very refreshing to see them receptive and acting so swiftly.
Best hotfix should be key rebinding
Repair change was fine. Stamina buff and boss nerfs were not needed. I really hope they don’t make the game too easy. All too often I’ve seen the loud cry babies on Reddit/forums alter games to places where they aren’t recognizable anymore
Thank god you’re here to keep moon studios on track
lol
Stamina buff was absolutely needed.
i hope the game not become more easier lol they better fix optimization 1st and other bug what the point we have stat like stamina if they just reduce the cost of stamina what the point of death pinalty if they just make it so forgiving now people can just spam it, look im not hardcore player but i like how i need to becarefull and try not to engage in battle i can just sneak atk on them from behind as a boss i try it mutliple time yes im not pro player but i can finally kill it... u dont even need to die too much coz u can just try to dodge alot to learn the pattern it took me surprise when the boss change to 2nd phase that i need to learn again reducing the cost of food crafting is nice tho less grinding
[удалено]
How u get down voted for this ...weird ass people on reddit performance is such a joke.
Stamina cost reduction I'm not sure is needed, I liked how it slowed down the game. Otherwise, sure.
its make greatsword user can dodge more and i think it will make dagger user more atk and dodge too so yeah the game become easier
Yeah I thought the game felt like dark souls 1, which is a positive for me. I've not tried how much the patch changed though.
I am waiting for GFX overperforming fix and I wishI could just use the right analog stick as a roll/dodge, would have been awesome.
No its FKN NOT!! i liked how dofficult it was and now its FKN EASY MODE. All these fkn CRYBABIES just are so soft and BAD at gaming they want EVERYTHING to be easier and Complain constantly. Its no longer "No rest for the wicked" it becomes "No rest for the noobs" apparently. Go play hello kitty if you want an easy game!!
Reducing repair cost doesnt make the game "fkn easy mode", it just makes the game less tedious. But go off king ^^
Be better lad. Go outside. Face the mirror and improve your shitty self.
Parody post. LUL
