REBIRTH is a bit of a joke ??

[nobrien]

after reaching lvl 62 i had literally had as much filler walking every where back and forth as i could take after 20+hours and just wanted to get it over.

after killing the sava guy i went to maurid or W-E hes called as i had red about rebirth so the description sounds good, i was expecting harder fights, better loot equipment coin ect as i started again, starting at the tutorial city and OMFG only difference is the NPCs just have alot more health i get no xp from the time that i start to the time that i hit avan, and did every quest and encounter i was able to but they had the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 20 gold coin drops and same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ chest amounts and the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ rewards & inventory in the stores.

So im a little confused at this point, the game made out to sound like theres all this extra stuff in buckets of swag and extra difficulty, but based on the first impression of the new rebirth game im guessing that 75% of the game is the same when your 50+ and apart from the boss encounters and a few select other MObs 90% of the mainland content an loot drops and coin and shop inventory wont have a single upgrade for a char that has been to the island all ready {

Haha enjoy

I have finished normal with supposedly all (119) sidequests and killed all brutal tiers in about 32h. There seems to be the only content that needs rebirthing are brutal mazes, and they seem to require you to wade through at least 3 more rebirth to be able to upgrade gear to at least superior level, tho im not sure this will be enogh for all mazes. But between been able to do mazes and your first run, youll expierence 0 new content and will have to fight hundreds of trivial fights with mobs that have overinflated hp pools.

well thats not fun at all for me what you describe and while i might not regret what i paid for the game vs the hours i got out of it, i certainly wont be carrying on with it now .

Completely agree. First 10 hours or so was very promising then the endless, needless walking began. i was willing to put up with it if NG+ was worth it - but no absolutely not worth it.

Honestly, I haven't even finished the first game and I'm bored. Got to the island at level 61, and running into mobs with 2-4x HP pools, but exp sucks and gold sucks. I know I'm overleveled for the area, but I didn't exactly grind out exp on the first map, I just did quests like normal. For me,the entirety of the fun is leveling and gaining new gear, but on the island, there are several things killing the fun. 1. Will take you dozens of hours to gain one level. 2. Gold drops didn't go up much considering how much HP of mobs went up. 3. Now you have to worry about snow, bridges, mountains blocking you as you run everywhere. 4. Quest rewards don't mean much of anything as far as exp, gold, or loot. It sounds like playing on rebirth is just the same problem.

Same experience for me ((.
I have just not finished the mainquest in normal, but -now at level 62- I am grinding for more gold and a little better gear on map 2. This is very boring and frustrating. Although you can travel to some hotspots, you have immense long ways to go to fullfill some of the quests. What you get doesn't match with the effort to fulfill.

Only the brutals drop some very good gear. The best gear at shops costs immense gold.
Once defeated, you must rebirth to kill the brutals again? The "daily" brutals seems to be not in every difficulty or gameversion. In GoG which I have, I dont see any screen with "daily brutal"

I love RPGs, and i love it to travel, explore and train my avatar, but this game is not well balanced.
The Gameplay is just funny at the beginning, when you learn, how it works an doing some quests and get some gear - but later in the game, its very repetitive. Upgrading gear needs grinding the scards, buying some better gear need extreme grinding gold, gaining a level after 60? grinding a lot of minion fights ((....

Other Things -I don't like:
No markers on the map possible. Minimap not configurable
The Inventory and your hide are very small, no way to upgrade for more places, so testing other gear is difficult
The Explanation of some skills and mechanics could be much better.
Some Questgivers are not marked on the map, if you fulfill the things to do. You should return, but where he has been?
RunningSpeed is so low, ...the Worst of all...

Positives:
No Exp-Penalty at Deaths
Some nice quests or npcs with joke!
Skills complete resettable, costs much, but helps (=?)

At all:
Good ideas, but at the moment I see no longtime motivation for me after fulfill the mainquest

edit1:
possibility to see the waekness of enemies will not work really good, because you cannot change weapon or skill in fight...>useless
Was it in the SE of Troldeskoven, this immortal? Nice Idea to beat him again and again.
He becomes stronger every time, but the xp-reward remains the same....that is riduculous

A thing you could work towars on the NG+ is the hidden side quests and getting your pet collection and armor sets. There are a few dungeons with specific armor sets and bonuses (for example the ruins of Aendisea dungeon has a early unique armor set (gloves and chestplate) that give you extra dodge chance and some other bonuses. There are quite a few hidden quests (for example going into the lake above the heart on the second map and keep going on a path that is not on the map towards the middle of the lake for a boss (that you will need to fight later on as a hidden quest). There are quite a few hidden things and quite OP armor sets you can get from doing a few dungeon runs and also in NG+ you could just experiment with new builds (like spells, thrust, dual swords, bleed+poison. You could also do the blood moon event, do the daily brutals, do brutal hunts for a free helmet, "banner" (you could use instead of wings), you could do the infinite dungeon, try to see how high of a rebirth you can get the boss in Nor Myth and such.


Also tip: you can enhance your gear for 5 bloodstones if it is at +3 to the curent game stage you are at (superior, pristine and such) instead of buying it again
