New game plus

[Kriss Hietala]

SO I just started a new game and am totally disappointed.

Despite everyone saying "That's what shortcuts are for!" THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS IN NEW GAME+! All shortcuts that I have unlocked, every "this door can't be open from this side", every dropped ladder....everything was reset... So you have no vestiges and shortcuts are blocked again. Also the vestiges are deleted indefinitely...You can't just run to where the vestige was and reenable it. It's not there. And you can't restore it with seeds. Anyone who said that vestiges can be restored with seed lied. Also any stuff from remembrance you missed won't be available in ng+ untill you kill that boss again. Remembrances are reset.

This sounds exactly, like I would have expected. Except, that there should be some vestiges remaining, not all.

The original idea was, that you just have a seedling and the vestige at skyrest (maybe some other...)
Then you progress through the game, unlock shortcuts and plant the seedling, where you want to progress next. After a while, you have shortcuts unlocked to run through the game faster. With the seedling, you can rest, go to skyrest and upgrade the weapon, etc... and of course respawn after a death.

sounds perfect.

They did it backwards, NG+ should get rid of the flowerbeds instead of removing the vestiges. Instead, it should cost seeds to warp anywhere.

Maybe if you're a masochist.

Good thing they added the option to just redo regular NG because this vestige disappearing thing is just unnecessary ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Home base and last used location exempt of course

Obviously those things reset. The point is that now, instead of a comfy vestige fast travel you can use those shortcuts to cut travel time from like 30min to 10.

Enjoy the padding. or maybe it's not padding, maybe it simulates being on a real adventure on your own two feet instead of magically warping around. Everybody knows humans love walking right? That's what we do every day. Why not increase the walking time making the game longer in the process? Everybody wins, I guess.

uff i believed flowerbed is gone and normal warps remain. that kinda all is gone is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. with how often people die accidently its super ♥♥♥♥ to run all the way again. i would dont mind to need a seed to use for unlock the waypoints and to use them but permanent gone? crap xD

This is something they have been consistent on as their intended design. I think it's cray cray too, but its their game and this is how they and some players want it.

yeah but people were telling totally different things. Probably anyone who said that vestiges and shortcuts are open didn't even start ng+ and they just assumed how it should be :D
