How's the DLC/Season Pass so far?

[Cross]

Performance and optimization aside which seems to be a hot topic all these months later- how is the DLC that has been released so far? Fun and enjoyable? Worth the cash?

[Sch4bern4ck]

Very comparable to the Nioh DLCs, one new region, 3 new bosses, a few new normal enemies, a new weapon and a new difficulty with new rarity and new enemy placement, per DLC. The second one was way better than the first one imo, also added the endgame grind mode , which is a semi random version of the Abyss this time. Good stuff, if you like the game, if not, these DLCs probably won´t change your mind.

The DLCs are similiar to the size of Niohs and Stranger of Paradise DLCs. Both DLCs add 3-4 main missions with new bosses, sub bosses, new weapon type per DLC, new spells, new NG+ Cycle, new gear level acquire...etc. If you like going through NG+ cycles to further improve you build and face harder challenges, like Nioh then you will like the DLCs in this game because they do the same.

I would argue the QoL/gameplay changes that came along with the DLCs is much more impressive, but the content itself is worth it imo. If you were luke warm of the game on release, the gameplay is pretty different from release with more focus giving the player as much spirit as possible to just have fun with along with give the player up to 6 martial arts at one time (12 if you use 2 weapons).

For me the DLC's along with the QoL changes/patches, made me do a 180 on the game. I was luke warm on it at first, but now I enjoy it a lot and can't put it down.

It was the same for me. I played a little at launch, but didn't like it.
But they've made some great improvements that made me come back and now I find it a lot of fun. I'm glad I came back.

I have also been on the fence about the DLC season pass, but I have put it in my cart and I'm about to buy it. That Longsword looks sooooo fun!

tbh i didnt feel much difference between ng+ and ng++. 1000 miles journey looks fun. idk if people without dlc got that too. Also new graces, new rarity and some higher stats. Menus and all the storehouse related stuff still sucks major ass tho.

Overall the game is shaping up pretty good.

Doing heavenly dragon with rarity 5. pretty sure you can steam roll stuff at 7star. and some build can ignore red attacks

Thanks for the insight everyone looks like I'll grab this season pass since I did enjoy the game

[Amene]

For the record, 1k journey is for now just 100 mile journey that you can redo with largely irrelevant handicap. dlc3 will probably extend it to its advertised "1000" size. ITOW the same ♥♥♥♥ that was in nioh1/2 where the "real deal" was enabled after its dlc3 only.

The content is same old story - one new area, 3 bosses (first two relatively simple, last one pretty nice), few side missions. + another silly stupid op weapon.

On mechanical changes some nerfs (in particular see 1.202 notes), some buffs, some massive op buffs sadly as well, and a lot of no-burger changes that "nioh 3 experts" see as mountains for some reason.

Good adjustment to the game mechanic. Some additional stuff and polishing, but made NG+++ for seasoned players too easy. Now waiting for DLC 3.

PVP is exciting now, unfortunately PC tends to have more hackers. Reporting hackers gets you banned. Team Ninja did nothing about hackers. So gg.

In the newest DLC's there is boss called Taishi Ci, My friend tried to beat him for around 6-7h straight and gave up. Seems like the difficulty is turbo hard for normal players. I'm not talking about people who spend 400h grinding for gear and levels.

Difficulty is never a one size fits all thing. I did not farm, I did not grind, and I have just over 100hrs since launch. I was able to beat him after like 5-6 tries on NG.

I agree the boss is one of the harder in the game but its not impossible on NG.

Watching that boss on youtube, it seems seriously over-done. Frustrating so.

Ehh, for me 99% of the bosses in the game are a push over, and him along with the fist dude were the only ones to give a decent challenge.

I;m not saying its not hard but Wo Long is a pattern driven game. Get the bosses attack pattern down, along with proper deflects and your literally invincible. The question is will you have the reaction to keep that up for long periods of time, while dealing decent damage.

The game in its current state is a blast and thats saying a lot since I was luke warm on the game at release. Also most hardcore players would argue the game is more casual friendly now due to how many tools it gives the player to fight enemies.

If you like action RPGs with tight combat I would 100% recommend or you could wait for the complete edition later on after DLC3 releases to get the full experience. Just be aware the prevalent optimization issues some people have. My experience is relativity smooth but you know with PC gaming its never the same across all types of hardware.

PVP is exciting now,

Mind sharing on how alive pvp is? also which maps are best to pvp? Is it still the duel temple (forgot how the mission is called; its where you'd normally fight 2 npcs)

Also what character level and what difficulty is best for pvp?
