Patch 1.3

[Shredder]

I know this ain't the best way to reach the devs, but

I hope the enemies passiveness and slower animation is unintentional. This is too much "make the game easier" it looks pretty bad on a personal level, seems too easy.

Also honestly, Unbias opinion: Grenades and throwables should cost stamina. Bias opinion: yeah it's fine let me clap Laxasia in 2 min.

I also feel like it's unreasonably easy now after the patch...

Especially the stagger duration for the enemies, you can pretty much just hit them over and over again and perfect parry once or twice between your spam of light attacks.

I agree 100%.

I would think you would like to take a lot longer to clap Laxasia, i certainly would.

But like the specter buff, it seems they took it a bit too far the other way on the animations and the like.

It was a really fun fight the first time around, but it's also funny how you can yeet grenades from the other end of the arena and bosses just melt. then you can choose to use them or not. It would be more balanced if it costs stamina to throw. cause it stays strong too, i'm in NG++ and Saws, cluster grenades and the status effect grenades do a ton of dmg and throwing a shot put is faster than any charge heavies. and it triggers the stagger into a crit state

I did the Arcade and the Swamp yesterday, and the enemies definitely felt slower in animation, attacked less often or would just whiff on purpose, just attacking where I was 2-3 seconds ago.

I don't want the DLC to feel this way

The game should lose it's souls-like title and be given a hack and slash title if it continues to get easier.

It's weird, they buffed spectres to a point that it really is an easy mode. Fair enough, you don't need to use spectres but now everything else seems significantly easier. With consumables and spectres you can already make the game very easy, I don't see why this change was needed to make the game even easier when the options to make is easier was already there.

They made a great game, people loved it but they seem to want to cater to what seems like a small minority that got ego checked by a moderate challenge and complained.

[Amene]

Guess dumbing down continues.

[Terron]

Def too easy. Even at launch I felt the general exploration and enemies could have used a bit of a buff but now with the addition of extra quartz and boss nerf from last patch and weapon buffs and extra stagger its just too easy. I already found it easier than all the souls games and BB and Elden Ring (if no summons) so to see it get yet more changes making it easier is disheartening. This might not even be the end. They may continue down this path shaving off all the difficulty. I do agree with making rising dodge baseline though.

Stop nerfing the game until it´s Devil May Cry. I finished it on the First 3 Days on Xbox PC Pass and it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Hard...after NG+4 i was on 100% and the NG+ was so much easier than the first few Days. Git Gudd!

Yeah, that's because maxing out the P-Organ gives you an absurd amount of power. You get basically infinite Legion, way more Fable overall, all of your Legion Arms are upgraded, all of your weapons and all of your stats are maxed... yeah. It does get way easier, but you can also limit how much you upgrade. The game is still hard on the first playthrough.

As someone who started playing after 1.3, a veteran in souls games (almost 1000 hours per Fromsoft game), I think the difficulty is pretty good. I get my ass kicked all the time. Fodder enemies are a bit too easy, but bosses take 5-10 attempts and I'm still early in the game. I feel they nailed the difficulty now.

If Only I could find a way to make you do a run of patch 1.0 after, it would be very interesting to hear your opinion since the experience would be reversed. but somethings DID need changing. and once you get used to how the game plays compare to those other souls like, come back and tell me. Cause my second "pinocchio" to try dex instead of advance, If I died it's cause I was being lazy, impatient or FN around.

[Amene]

Reminder you can easily revert the version to 1.1.2.0 on steam.

Nerfs coincide with first sale, AC6 nerfs coincided with game dropping out of top seller list
once they take your money you dont count any more.
