The DLC will have 100+ weapons

[Nywyllwch]

Do those whiners who complained about the price have anything to say about this?

The amount of added weapons in the game don't matter, it's the other content that matters.
And until the DLC drops later this month, we won't know until then it was worth the money.
It's Fromsoft, I trust them enough I pre-purchased the DLC.... most other companies I would have waited for a review 1st.

More is not better, as most will just be just slight variations of normal weapons we already have.

This game should've already teach you that more is not better

[Nywyllwch]

DS3 DLCs cost 30 dollars combined and had less than 40 weapons with no unique movesets. This one has 100+ weapons and 8 new categories with new movesets and costs 40 dollars. You get more value per dollar than the DS3 cashgrab DLCs.

Yeah, but the weapons that were already shown are cool as hell and much better than what we got in DS3. We also only got 4 real bosses in DS3 while we are getting at least 10 major bosses this time around. The level design was also terrible in DS3 DLCs while Shadow of the Erdtree looks way better from what we've seen so far.

Your augment, is flawed, The new weapon types are good, but 100+ new weapons doesn't mean anything... they could add twenty new weapons under the new types and I'd be fine with it, it's the new areas, and boss fights that matter....

I disagree, while bosses and locations are at the core of the experience, weapon variation will give the game even more longevity for years to come.

Fair enough, we just value different things then.

7 new types , they look dope

[alumlovescake]

Yet only 2 will be actually usable. You can't throw random numbers and say that means the DLC is worth the price.


They have confirmed several times the dlc is very small

are there new fist weapons/martial arts weapons? how many? how are they?

The weapons are very important, they are literally giving you more building blocks to create the playstyle and roleplay that you enjoy. I specifically referenced weapons to highlight the difference between what we got in DS3 and what we're getting in Elden Ring. We are clearly getting way more weapons, spells, armours and so on and they are also of higher quality and more unique.

Most likely the same logic applies to the level design and areas (though to be fair it's very easy to beat DS3 DLCs since they had the worst level designs out of all Fromsoftware DLCs).

The bosses are tougher since DS3 DLCs actually had amazing bosses, but there were only 4 real bosses (and 2 "boss fights" that don't deserve the boss health bars to be honest) while we're getting 10+ here. I'm sure there will be at least a few great boss fights in the DLC. All in all those 40 dollars are way better justified than the 30 dollars for the DS3 DLCs.

there is a weapon that gives martial arts, yes, and looks very cool at least.
those and reverse grip swords look amazing...
And that is just off the few videos I watched.

They've already shown a good amount of weapons that look unique and cool. Way more impressive than any other DLC.

100+ new weapons, 10+ major boss fights, at least 2 legacy dungeons (probably at least 4 in reality), almost the same amount of music tracks as the main game. "Small" my ass.
