I hope they update NG+ a bit

It's nice that there's new gear and build stuff to collect, but the enemies, levels you fight through, and bosses should get some shake up too.

[Rickle Pick]

100% agree

[ворон]

agree, NG+ and NG++ are extremely easy because of gear scaling, a bit disappointed that NG is the hardest mode atm

[Deathwing1306]

I also have a feeling that if you played NG with summons and then you complete NG+ without summoning, you won't get the achievement and I think that you also can't do the true ending achievement in NG+ as well which is a bit stupid.

[Grumpy Giuseppe]

Yeah true, I played NG with the demo dual wield and jar head + single dmg 2-set pieces and thought it couldn't be easier.
But with access to epic crafting after finishing NG I crafted a full set of Skalpel's set and Gale: Doom + Phantom: Bloody Sword Dance is totally insane.
They really need to crank things up a good bit.

I would like to see enemy placements changed. Add some new enemies here or there replace those singular weak enemies with a stronger guy etc. Like Nioh

idk it's pretty rare for a NG+ mode to be harder than the 1st run. if you keep all your gear and stats/skills etc of course it's gonna be much easier bur that's kinda the point of having it for most games

NG+ scales to your character, the bosses are much harder compared to NG, you do lower percentage of damage and they do much higher damage to you in NG+.

NG+ seems easy most of the time because you already know what the bosses do, but if you let someone new to the game play NG+, they would say that it's impossible lol.

This is not true. You don't even need to guard or dodge anymore. Bosses are a joke now look:

Bloodstained Fiend set, it's the best gear set for DW (Scalpel boss).

And I personally don't mind that NG+ and NG++ are easier than NG0. It feels rewarding being able to use OP gear like that and have your revenge on all the bosses that you might have struggled the first time. But I do agree that it would have been nice if there is more new to it except just more skills and gear rarity.

[horse armor enthusiast]

Its way too easy to make good gear in NG+, the scaling felt good at first and then a single 30 minute crafting session made my damage insane and completely undid all of it.

Gear drops themselves also feel near worthless because I can just reroll every stat, with the current scaling you probably should have been limited to only being able to reroll one stat on the item. A system similar to Nioh's star rolls would have also been nice to make me care about actually looking at anything that drops.

Well, you are playing with overpowered dual wield build, you can't really do that with greatsword.

So spear and dual wield are overpowered now. Why even play greatsword if you are just gonna complain about it. Especially since you can in-fact just furious swipe, war cry or reflect/ counter attack through everything and win in two combos on just about every boss in ng+ on greatsword while never dodging or blocking. Just because your no active skill using no damage build can’t do it doesn’t mean the weapon can’t do it.

Wasn't talking to you.

NG+ in terms of difficulty is fine, NG+ is there for you to stomp on bosses you struggled with in NG0.
The issue with NG+ mode in Khazan is that it is boring and pointless experience to say the least. It is also very confusing to see NPCs in The Crevice be present that should not be there based on the state of the progress you are at. This situation also make many side mission pointless or irrelevant. Collectibles such as soulstones or jarlings are already gone so exploration is even less needed. I had to push myself very hard to even reach first few bosses and craft some armors I did not in NG0. The only real reward is the additional power gained from new stats and skills offered by the sets. This is good power fantasy but I feel it is not enough to run through the game that is 100% copy of the original run.
