Who thought the Metal Golems were a good idea?
They are great.
>>334266784
Near unbeatable if you aren't a Ranger yourself, every pawn I have just goes and decides to climb him
>>334266858
Hardly. Just climb him and gouge the glowy bits, then hit the one on his sole while he's down.
Easy peasy.
>>334266858
>mfw destroying him at a distance with mystic knight
>>334266719
They are a good idea. I wish they were bigger.
>>334267295
metal golems
>>334266719
The bigger issue is why they didnt give fighter and warrior some sort of range ability. I realize its meant to be their weakness, but when the game has enemies that require range its less a weakness more a full blown stupid design decision.Warrior should have had repeater crossbow weapon
With great patience you can eventually kill these things as a sorcerer using bolide on the floating weak points. Bolide does partly physical damage and it'll take a long time but it'll work. High exequy can also kill the golem outright if you use liquid vim but it's hard to channel it long enough to kill one without getting attacked and knocked out of it.
>>334267654
Warrior/Fighter should have been a viable class.
Shame since the melee combat is satisfying
>>334267654
I could have done with a quick swap for weapon sets
>>334266719

They're making Dragon's Dogma 2 right? Or at least an English patch for DDO, right?

>build a new pc for this port
>realize that I'm pretty burned out on this game
I hope you had fun, but it didn't seem like it would reklindle /v/'s love for this game. Saw mostly shitposting threads.
>>334268791
/v/ never likes games
you can try and say
>/v/ is one person
but overall it's essentially a hivemind where dissenting gets you shitposted into oblivion, almost a bigger safe space than tumblr or neofag
>>334268791
I put 188 hours on my main save, 140 on my first alt save, and 74 on my second alt save. Family shared the game so all of my pawns are available.
Left my first alt at 180, second at 130. Want to make a final one to lease at 75 for BBI 1.0 help. But for now, taking a break.
>>334268903
We had a lot of great DD's threads from the start of DD to the port. A lot of them reached bump limit with minimal shitposting.
I beat the main quest, and made a bit of progress on Brittleback, I think I got the second void key, but I kinda burned out. Should I new game+ it just for brittleback?sequel when
>>334266719
They're fun to fight.
>>334269468
Bitterbutt. Going into ng + would reset your progress in BBI.
>>334269615
I already Ng+d , but as I said I didnt progress in DLC Island too much, I killed the big eye and that's about it.
>>334269698
>I already Ng+d
I don't see what you would gain by playing through it again. And the real BBI is just starting.Actually, the real BBI is BBI 2.0
>>334269914
I wanted to see the whole ending, and I doubt I can load a state before I beat the Seneschal.
>>334270145
But haven't you seen the ending already if you are in ng+? You are confusing me.
Anyway beating Daimon is not that far from there. I would say try it and decide afterwards if you want to delve deeper into BBI. You should experience this fight at least once.
>>334267295
Metal Golem, not the regular shitty golem. Those are invulnerable and remote controlled by flying runes.

I really feel like I am walking on eggshells with this game sometimes.
>>334270343
Oh sorry I'm being retarded, I started BBI on my first playthrough, but I was feeling really burnt out by the game, I did 50 hours in the playthrough, so I decided to end it, and complete the main story. I then started an NG+ out of curiosity.
>>334270479
>I wasted this encounter on this
He respawns after a week or so.
>>334270479
The dragons respawn after some time. It's also not really needed until the very endgame.
>>334270610
>>334270629
Oh thank god.
Appreciate this guys.
>tfw so fucking burned i haven't played in months and don't even want to, because there's nothing to do anymore, yet love the game so fucking much
>>334270665
Just in case you actually plan on farming him for dragonforging: don't do that. The chance is extremely low, and there's nothing in the maingame that warrants killing yourself with grinding. There will be better options for dragonforging further into the game. It's ok to kick him in the nuts when you're passing by and he's there just for fun, but that's it.
>>334271628
This
I wasted hours farming the drake for dragon forged gear, until i recently realized there is a much easier, better alternative to achieving dragonforged.
>>334272318
Best dragonforging method?Don't say cursed dragons
>>334272440
It's actually justcursed dragon
>>334272440
Unfortunately it is.
With a 70% chance at *** , and a relatively easy way to spawn they are the best for for DF gear.
There is an extremely easy way to farm them though, despite thier tank.
>>334267654
Dragon Dogma is begging for a Spear wielding warrior class. Then they could just throw their damn weapon.
>>334273337
wait they're supposed to be tanky? I just threw a few bolides on them and they went down like bitches
>>334267654
Lets be honest the classes are balanced like shit. There shouldnt be a limitation on how many skills you take and there are far too few abilities. You also have the whole forced leveling stat allocation thing to continuously worry about.
Lets hope they do a better jobin DD2
you know what pissed me off?
that Metal to Metal quest where you have to shoot those orbs to damage the golden golem.
one of those is in a tree and 100% completely inaccessible to melee characters, and pawns do fuck all to it hit.
I tried jumping off the golem's back but it's impossible.
I know I have to git gud but for fucks sake.
>>334276171
hated that one as a sorcerer as well
pawns did indeed do fuckall to hit it and trying to snipe that one up the tree with one of your physical spells was a royal PITA given you can't aim them
>>334266719
>decide to fuck around with mystic knight in the everfall
>metal golem
>going smooth as butter until I see that 3 of the medals are floating in the air (the only way to reach them for me is to climb up the golem, jump off his head, and get in 1 swipe before i hit the floor
>assuming he stays perfectly still, at a fully extended posture underneath the floating medals, without thrashing around like a spaz
>ranger pawn is trying to use hundred kisses on his head
I outright gave up after 10 minutes
>>334276171
>I tried jumping off the golem's back but it's impossible.
Nah, it's possible.
>>334266719
What's the difference between the metal and the rock ones?
I think I only encountered the rock ones.
>>334276591
the rock ones have their weak spots on their bodies, metal ones have their weak spots floating around the area.
>>334276591
metal golem amulets are not located on their bodies but rather in the surrounding area
however they may also be located high in the sky on a ledge or tree branch you can't really reach as a melee character
also pawns are horrible at fighting metal golems because they'll target the invulnerable golem itself rather than the vulnerable amulets
wondering about metal golems can't you just use throwblasts on the treetop one as every class?
>>334276780
I don't think you can aim where you throw throwblasts can you?
don't you just throw it straight down/at your locked target?
>>334266719
Is DDON posting allowed?
Right now we're having a capcom crossover event. Monster hunter and street fighter crossovers are the main focus of the event but there's still other games like rockman and devil may cry too.
>>334277146
is releasing DDON in the west allowed? No?
This level of salt I have ascended to will never fade.
>>334277146
I was just watching youtube videos of the skills in DDO and they look so much more flashy it's great
>>334277229
You could always play with the japanese anon. They're much better players than most of the english community and it really shows when you start partying with others, and the game runs well too since its clientside
>>334276038
the most egregious example is warrior
>other classes use R1 and L1 as modifiers for primary/secondary weapons
>warrior has no option for another weapon at all
>"should we let them use L1 to add more abilities, given that the warrior is gimped against most enemies anyway?"
>"you're fired"
seriously, warrior would at least be usable if I could use more of his moves at once, instead half are completely outclassed by the other half, and so they don't get picked (they aren't useless, but they are more situational than other abilities)
>>334266719
>being a castercuck
it's your fault
>>334277324
Yeah its pretty great, but skills aren't the only flashy thingIf it seems like I'm shilling I'm not. I just think its a great game that improved on DD. The only bad thing is the grind
>>334267892
How?
Mystic knight is a hybrid, so the pawns couldn't have cast that spell, but the player character is an archer
or is it just cheats?
>>334277146
>cammy's armor
That's hilarious.

>dragon in forest
>get your shit to 3 stars
>sleep at the camp just around the corner
>kill him
>if no DF then quit the gam and it'll put you back at the camp before the fight
cursed dragon is only viable with a bow or mk set up since it's just a waste of time.
>>334277567
well you clearly have never done the gazer boss before
>>334277567
It's something the boss tries to cast and you use it against him.
>>334277742
>>334277567
oh, I usually just jump at his eye from the ledge and stab it until it dies with a liquid vim
I don't think I've ever touched the floor of that room while the gazer was alive
>>334276780
I just tried this and like >>334277051 said, you can't get close enough to it for that to work.
>>334270479
>see same dragon
>also severly underleveled for it
>decide i am going to beat him no matter how long it takes
>takes 2 days to kill him finally because he either one hits me eventually or FLIES THE FUCK AWAY with 20% health left. shit was infuriating.
Who thought Death was a good idea?
>>334266719
Honestly I see it as reason and a excuse to replay the game with a different class/approach. Fuck all this "All content available to all characters on demand" MMO level of thinking that WoW ushered in.
DD feels like the early access beta to the greatest game ever but has been abandoned.
>>334277548
Looks like shit to be honest man. Looks like another generic korean grindfest with "epic" abilities and boss fights to get the attention of the easily impressed.
>>334277994
I like him, he's spooky and scary and it feels good to beat him after some time.If you don't cheese him to death
>>334278136
I'm assmad that I'm still using the holy weapons from the Ur-dragon and can hardly scratch him.
Thought holy weapons would be great against him.
>>334278128
That's fine if you think that anon. It plays exactly the same as DD though and they're still adding new things to fight so its worth a shot if you ever get tired of DDDA.
>>334278136
its hilarious blast the living shit out of him as a MA in the catacombs
>>334278210
he actually has random resistances each time you meet him
he can be highly resistant to holy
I like how Eliminators hammer attack is almost a carbon copy of MH's hammer animation.
>>334278242
Come on, Arisen. Come take my mace to the face.
>>334277670
>change vocation to Mage\Sorc
>go to duskmoon tower
>get to little platform that's left of destroyed stairs down
>hfb\bolide\comestion him to death
There. Everything is DF'd. Well, probably, but at least it's not wasting time with a fucking slot machine with abysmal 18% at three stars
>>334272440
Look up the online Ur dragon health and just go in when it's on grace.
Easy kill, all your equipped gear gets 100% dragonforged and you get a lot of gear, wakestones and materials.
>>334278323
Well both are Capcom's games. There's mining and dropping on your knees to gather nuts at gathering spots, i like it.
Actually, i forgot what do Eliminators do so similar to MH Hammer, do they triple pound?
>>334272440
if you have ideal locations on warps you can just speedrun the regular area of the game and dragonforge your entire set you are wearing in under an hour.
>>334278823
They pound > pound > swing, I think. Like the basic combo in MH.
>>334279014
Yeah, that's what i meant.
It's just that they usually have a chance to attack when are in packs only and that's where fight turns into such fucking fun clusterfuck that i just never properly noticed what do they do.
Last time i fought them was at the Fallen City, together with Thundercunt, all stuffed up into alleys between houses. What a meatgrinder that was Jesus
>>334279519
>in packs
>>334279697
Oh God
>>334277994
I cheesed him by accident. First time I couldn't even scratch him, so I did what you do in this game, I equipped blast arrows.
Knocked him off the level and he straight up died and gave me 5 levels worth of XP.
