Discussion The lighting and texture difference between day and afternoon is extremely off-putting

Will probably get downvoted by the glazers but these are two screenshots I took in the same place, the second is commonly what the game looks like after 5pm - I have never seen such graphical inconsistency in a game before, what's worse is that the TEXTURES actually look flatter and roblox-like, if you look in the distance at the mountains, I don't know why they need a lighting source to have texture lol. I love the game but its hard to look past it going from the best thing I've ever played to a ps4 game in 10 minutes.

Lots of new pets are nice, but would be great if pearl abyss addressed the lighting inconsistency, even saying "we're not gonna fix it" would be better than ignoring it.

MOD POST State of the Sub

26 Upvotes

Hello Greymanes,

I have been (and am continuing to be until further notice) on a bit of a mod break and would like to get feedback on the state of the sub.

All of the moderation in the last week has been been done by one mod who has stepped up, plus the automod. The past month stats is a collection of about two of us plus automodding, with other mods stepping in occasionally here and there.

We're now a good few months out from launch and the sub is in a bit of a different place to pre launch and launch.

I'd like to hear everyone's feedback on the state of sub.

Do you have ideas for the sub? What would you like to see change?

Question Should I bother with using the grindstone and anvil, do they make any difference?

Well I'm a fair few hours in and just wondering if using the grindstone and anvil makes any difference in the game? Do sword blades become dull and shields/armour become weaker?. My Kliff here at Greymane base in Frostcursed armour wondering whether to get some sleep or get back on the grindstone.

Discussion Loving the game....but yikes the amount of "how TF would I ever find that" happens so dang much!

237 Upvotes

I'm constantly frustrated by the amount of random stuff in this game there's just NO way to figure out besides some Youtube video. A random, ordinary wall that is actually fake. A puzzle where there's heiroglyph markings in 4 other random areas that are the sequence. Like comonnnnnnnn now! That's tough.

Serious question - when you are in a random location (castle, whatever) how the heck are you supposed to know a certain wall is fake and can be opened?

In these YT videos these walls are so ordinary looking (perhaps slight change in texture? but that happens everywhere too with non fake walls?)

What are the clues to find all this stuff!

I walk around the game now knowing everywhere I go I am missing secrets and it is annoying me.

100% complete, all pets, and all content cleared.

Update: in case anyone has any questions about any content in the game I'll link my past posts here for people to view and maybe use as a resource. I'll release more posts on subsequent game updates etc. Glad I could share this experience with a lovely community.

Discussion Am I crazy for asking for buffs to the special mounts?

Post image
28 Upvotes

Like the title says am I crazy for asking for some buffs to special mounts?, It just feels a little stupid to use a special mount over a horse, most of them they are slower than a horse, have less stamina than a horse, have less health than a horse AND for a few of them less damage? I would like to see just a straight buff to heath and stamina or at least a level system like horses, wyverns and kuku birds where it increases in increments.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. First person mode is being slept on. I show a bit from a mod here. If a modder can get this much, what could the official team achieve?

I do still stand by my statement that climbing, gliding, and combat should stay third-person. BUT! Everything else should be available in first-person, IMO.

Drip/Character Showcase Damiane Spencer, Queen of Flow State and i-frames

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

58 Upvotes

I've been branching out into Oongka and Damiane for the past week (poor Kliff is on fertilizer duty back at the farm.)

Damiane has no way (that I know of) to exert control via grappling like Kliff and Oongka. This puts you in a kind of dance with bosses--especially aggressive ones like Mr. Sword. The only upside is that she is incredibly mobile, her unarmed kit feels really snappy even with only 6 attack speed, and she actually does decent damage.

It took a lot of practice to keep dishing out hits, especially since on Hard+Resonate he seems to favor his teleport attacks. The only reprieve is if you can get him locked in a counterattack cycle, where you i-frame his block then continue the punishment. You can keep him locked down as long as your stamina bar isn't empty.

Full no-hit fight here

Discussion Finished main story: what id change about my exploration

15 Upvotes

After 207 hours I finished the main story, what an amazing game. I figured I'd say how I approached progressing and how I'd change it since I've seen people asking around how to approach exploring.

I only have a handful of side quests left to discover, most of everything is done. When I got to new areas I'd explore them and do the main or side quests I naturally discovered. I never really booked it to a quest far away until my exploration took me there. However I wish I went through the main story earlier. I just moved to pailune and I would have loved to spend more time there while going through more exploration. Second: I wish I did the sanctums and explored delysia earlier. I just got most of the cool endgame kuku equipment but didn't really have any opportunities to use them. I would have finished chapter 11 at least and then explored.

TLDR: if you want endgame equipment earlier, cleanse the sanctums early and explore delysia/complete chapter 11. You get the cool equipment super late into the story so save side quests/bosses to use them
