@TypicallyRandom why do yall so desperately want a live service game? Why do you want to spend so much money on games? You bought the game, and you got a dlc with more characters. Thats it. YOU DONT NEED LIVE SERVICE. Stop trying to make everything that garbage ass live service ♥♥♥♥. Companies do not need to fork out every dime from players, then rely on that to keep it going, just to destroy everything and end up focusing more on making money then actual quality.

@Savathuns I have read the articles but why release the dlc ? Nobody was actually expecting the dlc til 2026 but they surprised us with a early release to then release half the dlc ? i wouldve just waited business stand point its hard to bring people back. they couldve just made this a live service game and made bank for years

1 - They never promised DLC items; that was an interview, and they have not disclosed about another DLC or about any future updates.

2 - My hyperbole is being used to describe how I feel, basic literacy.

Maybe do some research when asking a question and complaining. They have stated that they are releasing a little later as they need to rebalance a bunch of things

"genuinely heartbroken" is way too hyperbolic to even type without cringing about a video game DLC.

thats what you get for supporting bad games

See that's a great point. Every. Single. Dlc. Fromsoft has had in the past for every game has had a myriad of new weapons. Them not saying there's new weapons is not a good argument as it should've been expected.

People forget that all previous Fromsoft DLCs added weapons, spells, enemies, bosses, maps, voiced NPCs, etc.

Haha all the fromsoft glazers defending them not adding weapons can suck it cause we are still the top reviews on the DLC page HAHAHAHAHA

I do not know the complexities of porting items from base ER, but I can't imagine "balancing" issues are the problem. It's a PvE game, and balance changes can be made after launch. (Tin foil hat ->) I think they did not want non-DLC players to enjoy DLC items, so they scrapped it. I wish they followed the RoR2 model, which was solved ago.

In a rogue-lite/like game, item variety can greatly improve the run. New characters are nice, but they will use the same weapons/metas from pre-DLC, reducing the value of these additions. New items bring new gameplay to every character, which enhances build variety.

This is why I am upset. I do not think it is a "bad" DLC, but I believe it lacks potential. I love nightreign, and I do not see it as a cash grab. I would love for them to continue supporting the game with many new additions in the coming years, even if I have to pay for them.
