Singleplayer Experience

[<;)))<]

As the Game is in Discount atm, I think about diving in.

But how is the Singleplayer Aspect ? Is it fun or is it more meaned to be played Coop?

Thx for your help <3

Single-player is a lot of fun. Spent over 300 hours in the game and most of it has been solo.

Don't forget to mention your saves may be incompatible if there are other major updates coming in the future, so your progress, time and effort will be for nothing as saves don't carry over and force players to start over. If you are cool with starting over, that's great.

This is not a live service or an ever-evolving game. And it doesn't have seasons or events. It's incomplete and in an early access state. It is a great game but, in my opinion, it's not worth it till it's completed.

I've got around 170 hours single player and its pretty good. You can adjust a lot of the server settings to your liking to reduce the grind. The bosses are fun, but challenging at higher levels if playing alone. You can experience most of the content without anyone else.

Although.

I'd say the game was "Meant" to be played with multiple groups on a server in competition with each other, it truly is designed as PvPvE.

It kinda ties into what Xero says above me, in that the game was designed around occasional wipes to reset servers and give everyone a fighting chance at the competition.

I disagree that it is incomplete, though, it is very unfortunate for some who lost their single player saves with update 1.1 It's a sad fact that the devs priority is the official servers (with regular wipes) so they don't tend to consider the people who only play it solo.

I play mostly solo, sometimes with friends, in case you are wondering how to set a solo server this is a very good starting point:

Game Settings

Items

Teleport Bound Items - remove the tick to teleport with items

Blood-Bound Equipment - keep it on so you don' lose weapons and armour on death

Items

Inventory Stacks Multiplier - 3, max

Loot Multiplier - 1 or 2

Servant Hunt Multiplier - 3, max

Material Yield Multiplier - 1.5 or 2

Blood Essence Multiplier - 1 or 2, I keep it at 1

Equipment

Durability Loss Multiplier - 0

Resource Yield Multiplier - 1.5 or 2, I keep it same as Material Yield

Traders

Stock Multiplier - 2 or 3, it helps as you are solo

Building

Decay Rate Multiplier - 0

Blood Essence Drain Rate - 0.25, min

Castle Heart Limitation - 5

Castle Relocation Cooldown - 0

Castle Height Limit - 6

Territory Tile Limit - 100, 200, 400, 600, 800 in that order from level 1 to 5

Servant Limit - 6, 9, 12, 16, 20 same as above

Vermin Next Limit - 20

Prison Cell Limit - 50

Stygian Circle - 4

Throne of Darkness - 4

Hey, I think it would be more polite to just mention this as general information to inform a possible buyer, instead of throwing mud for the sake of it. You have personally decided that V Rising is incomplete and early access, stop trying to force feed others your opinion.

"Just for your information, whenever this game has a major update the older saves become incompatible. If this is a no-go for you, you shouldn't buy it."

Do that instead and maybe more people would be keen to listen to you.

Beyond his last sentence (which is an opinion) and labeling it as "early access", he's not wrong. Although it certainly feels like early access as they're still working through their roadmap and breaking saves with each content update.

This game is not worthy your time. They will wipe your saves after any major update

There's some crazy people here that like this, if you like to do the same things over and over again and has nothing else to do so yes the game was fun for a good amount of time and now it's a good time to begin, but go all the way to end because if you return later your save will be gone

Sure, but that's also my point. They provide the correct information but frames it with their own opinion and distaste of the devs practices. It's seriously rude and throws any potential of sympathy for their negative experience out the window and is in bad taste when recommending something to someone else or not.

It's like if I went into a music equipment store to buy this electric guitar I've had my eyes on, and the store clerk yells at me about how ♥♥♥♥ that guitar is and that the makers of it should die and still expecting I would respect their opinion about guitars after that point.

It's selfish, rude and ridiculous, as multiple posts trying to hype or converse positively about the new patch gets hijacked by these people for them to throw their hate and bile around. Move on and let the rest of us converse about ANYTHING ELSE but incompatible saves, for at least just 5 minutes.

[Xievis]

I have 60 hours into it. Solo. To be honest. Just buy the game. If you don't like it after 1 hour 59 minutes, refund it.

[Yuyuko Saigyouji]

Yeah, this game has a very good single player experience

And that is an issue... because of what?
I've cleared the game nearly complete in the past... dropped it for a long time and now pick it back up and start over anyways.

No issue with a "wipe" (which is incorrect anyways, as my old save file is there and I can play it just fine. Only the new content is not in...)

So Solo players who play the game for a while and when there is nothing left to do? Drop it until 1-2 major patches and start over again. Early game can be rushed easy (server settings for example give you a start on lvl 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 - maybe even higher? or with abysmal high drop and farm rates) and then you are in the new content asap while catching up to the mechanics again.

I really enjoy this so far. Second round I play and its lots of fun.

Thank you for all the Information Guys. Glad to see its not only made for Coop Things

It's freaking great get it I loved it. I hate to have to start over after beating it . But with new content It will be worth it I think..Play slow and enjoy it don't rush it.

In my opinion 1.1 made the game better for those that want single player experience. Act 1 bosses are a bit harder so that the difficulty jump to ACt 2 isnt as big. They made early game farming easier with servants/hunts easier to get and succeed. Blood type reworked and buffed so you can have an easier time with bosses if you choose. 1.1 also added a lot of QoL and other mechanics to early to late game.
