So who here has tried Convergence?

[Typheus]

Me and some friends are planning on running through it on Seamless to see what busted ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ we can do. Anyone here have experience with it?

Any weird glitchy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to avoid since its technically in Alpha?

I'd be testing it out right now myself but Suddenlink has ♥♥♥♥ every bed in the county it seems like.

I did a playthrough of convergence about a year back, I did a black flame run

It was really really easy, IDK if blackflame is just unbalanced but my spells were so op that everything melted braindead easy

there was also a spell that full healed me every time I cast a spell, so just spamming black flame ball meant I was literally invincible

I didn't run into any glitches but I did run into unfinished areas, but its possible they have been updated by now

Well that sounds a bit unbalanced. Oh well we'll probably just enjoy the spectacle then. Thanks.

Played it and loved it. It feels complete even though it's technically not. It does favor magic users over melee (like the previous Convergence mods in Souls games).

To be fair that sounds a lot like my first vanilla playthrough with blasphemous blade 😂

I'm not surprised though. DS3 convergence mod was stupid hard for an hour or 2 and then I spent the rest of the time blasting my way through the game with op spells. Got so bored I didn't finish it despite how impressive it was.

They've done many balance changes. Old OP things get deleted and new OP things got made. The earliest versions had some ridiculously OP spells. % damage is really strong in this game and the mod because of the bloated HP levels that ER enemies have. They struggle to balance black flames and make it fun because of this.

They have been trying to add set bonuses that are disabled for magic users to compensate for the disparity with magic builds. Idk how well that worked out because I took a break a while back and won't pick it back up until they have had time to integrate the upcoming DLC into the game.

There are definitely a number of areas that are not finished though. In my playthrough I found a place where they didn't turn off the automatic height death on one of their new levels and it was really annoying to fix (I had to use a "program" to get past it to the next bonfire). If you are looking for a fun and complete convergence experience then I'd recommend the DS3 one. It's a ton of fun. ER:C is good but won't be at that level for a while, especially with the DLC coming.

Honestly after playing with a bunch of modded black flames, and even my own custom black flame mods

Vanilla feels like it got it right, each spell eating an additional 2% feels really good without being OP
and as much as I want black flame blade to last longer the fact that it adds a 1% hp burn a second means it would quickly become silly op if it lasted longer

I made a mod that made it last 14 seconds and being able to burn up to 16% of an enemies hp with one blade cast was just busted

I did. Broken power fantasy crap that has very little care for balance or actually improving the game that is there, it just adds "content" so Youtubers can make soy faces in their thumbnails over it.

If you want a good overhaul play Reforged. That actually improves what is already there before it even considers adding new stuff, it's a very refined mod.
