@Juggs I looked for it the other day as well, seems like it's removed or were both just missing something.(I am trying to navigate menus in JP as well so >_>)

I really don't know how you played the game in Japanese text. That just seems insane to me. Boo yeah I mean if it was in the game I think it would be obvious so I'm pretty sure is not in the game. I really don't understand why they would have taken it out though.

I have a big research paper due april 19th...so I have to be on my best behaviour and not play this game until I am done...

Playing in JP text isn't that bad once you have some things translated, everything is really straight forward.

Not sure about Intelligence and Faith, but for Dex and STR, there's a "Sharp" and "Heavy" gem for weapon infusion. The Sharp gem increases your scaling rank for Dex for that weapon, and the Heavy gem does it for Strength. Basically this means a lot of weapons can be used now instead of just the ones with the best scaling. I'm still using a weapon I got relatively early that had C str C dex but upgraded it to have B only in STR.

Oh nice, they're going the Demon Souls way for infusing weapons. That's really awesome. ARE THERE GEMS THAT ARE EQUIVALENT TO FAINTSTONES IN DEMON SOULS? I MUST KNOW. Faint stones = Faith scaling + HP regen.

 

[lebanese boy]

they said ng1+ will be different im still trying to find any difference lol

Ooh nice. Are the gems separate from titanite upgrading? As in can you upgrade a weapon to +10 (which I've heard is the max in ds3) and then slap a gem on it to improve scaling? And when you say a B only in STR, does that mean using a gem that improves scaling gets rid of the weapon's scaling for all other stats? Or did you just mean you can only upgrade one type of stat scaling per weapon (not that it would work any other way lol).

If it's anything like demon's souls then yes/no. It'll increase the scaling of whatever gem you pick, but can either decrease the other scalings to usually E, or just remove them. Usually decreasing the other scalings to E is the case.

Looked it up on the wiki which is already up and running, and apparently different gems have different negative effects. For the DEX/STR scaling ones it supposedly it increases the scaling and decreases base damage.

I think it depends on the weapon. But for my Exile Greatsword, when I put a Heavy Gen on, it got rid of the Dex scaling. It was a C (or D can't remember) and it just disappeared when I put a heavy gem on. And when you infuse, the weapon remains whatever + it was. I had a +4 and when I infused it, it was still a +4.

I think there is, but my build doesn't use faith or int so I haven't checked. But I'll check after work tonight because I think I have the gem that effects faith.

Can't wait to PvP in this game. Btw, I'm 33 hours in and still haven't beaten it, and there's some stuff I can't do like covenant wise because you have to do certain things before you beat certain bosses to complete "quests" kinda like in DkS1.

This is quickly becoming my favorite Souls game. However, a lot of bosses are a little too easy, my only complaint so far. One boss that I felt was actually toughish, turns out there's a super super easy way to beat him, kinda lame.

Kinda like the Capra demon, he can fuck you up, especially if you're new to souls games, but doing the drop attack trick makes it barely a fight.

only a few days left

Yea they mentioned if you downloaded the game early you wouldn't get the update that comes out on release. I think the update address the easy boss scenario lol

 

[Juggs]

Finally beat the english version, took me 40 in game hours. I believe I killed all bosses, but I'm uncertain.

Amazing game, can't wait to play through it again when the ENG servers are up in a couple of days. Playing through a Souls game offline is just not the same.

 

[Hades]

Finished it today and holy Shit is it good. Everything aesthetically even down to gameplay was incredible. My only gripe was how easy the bosses were. There weren't really any I struggled to beat but they were still challenging enough to make me enjoy the game. Definitely looking forward to journey 2

 

[Spooky Deadeye]

Basically, this was my face every time i had to repeat the same crap over and over until i lost my sanity.

It was also my face when i was playing, when i didn't even felt like playing.
This game was just forcing me to play it! YOU WILL PLAY ME! EVEN IF YOU DON"T WANT TO! YOU WILL PLAY THIS GAME, AND YOU WILL GET FUCKED IN THE ASS UNTIL YOU LIKE IT!

 

[EMPEROR PRYCE]

Had enough time to play yesterday and get to firelink shrine and mess around for a bit.

Awesome game so far and can't wait to see and play more.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Can't play online because of LSoD lmfao. I can't believe this game has it too. I have it on SoTFS as well but at least on that I have a work around.

The curse continues to haunt me...

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

So whoever has the LSoD on X1 apparantly there's a fix for it but I haven't been able to confirm. Will test when I get home later today:

While booting up the game, let it get to the "retrieving latest calibrations" (LSoD part) and go queue up an X360 back compat download. It should connect then.

AgainIhaven't been able to confirm if this works but I'll try later

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Sorry for the triple post but I can confirm the dl thing works. Took me like 4 tries and it can be any download not just back compat

None of these problems on PC

Yea it's an X1 issue. It was the exact same thing in MKX.
