Nioh 3

[naive widget]

understandable

[pine trench]

nioh3 did make me want to plat nioh2

I looked over my achivs, and outside of the kodama which is the only annoying one

its just play through the acutal DLC missions

(I just killed the DLC bosses in the underworld, didnt do the dlc missions naturally)

I guess there are a few side quest collectible missions, like the tengu lady's quest

nah fuck platinum, my kodama count is low a.f and I dont want to basically re-play the entire game just to find those little fuckers

even if you use the ninjutsus that make you invisible + fast so mobs dont aggro, you still have to do long ass campaign missions in 2, and then the level's gimmick

and even if I guide where every kodama is; its just going to take forever

a friend did it, shout out to him

[sullen terrace]

Yeah I am, but It’s a single light that isnt rlly that bright in my office where my setup is. And it doesnt directly hit the monitor. If anything the reflection from the rgb strip in my case I always have set to red does more than anything if I sit at the angle that catches it lol

[sullen terrace]

Lol, I did play tonight in dark room and I was wrong. My case lighting doesnt affect it in my normal sitting position straight ahead.

@pine trench this is my setup normally with the lights off. Primary monitor thats the qd oled is on the right

[pine trench]

very nice

btw

how do I get to the crucible to the north of where I am

I spent like an hour

going around, etc

I'm getting clapped by kamaitachi for now

[sullen terrace]

Trying to remember where that crucible wraith is. I got off for the night, but I dont remember any of those beginning ones being too difficult to get to

Any that are blocked would have like a spirit vein next to/near them for future spirits traversals u dnt have unlocked yet

[pine trench]

yea this one doesnt have a blocked out spirit vein

https://i.imgur.com/Epa6TRe.png

looks like shrine, chest, crucible

[sullen terrace]

Share a pic from in-game??

[pine trench]

but its like up in a mountain or underground

yea let me get there

[sullen terrace]

Ok

Might have to come from that left side but i might remember if I see a pic from the area. I’m in NG+ but im only doing crucible spikes and lesser crucibles, and main missions bc i 100% everything my first playthrough already

[pine trench]

cant go in the house btw

[sullen terrace]

I recall this one, definitely underneath i think

Either a hole in the roof and then theres a ladder

[pine trench]

o shit yea, if you look through the window

there is aladder going up

[sullen terrace]

Or u come up into the house from wherever the other end is

[pine trench]

no hole in the roof, tried that last night

[sullen terrace]

Yeah

[pine trench]

time to find the other end

[sullen terrace]

Ok then theres another ladder or way to get underneath nearby yea

I just dont recall where

It shouldnt be too far away tho, its a shorter underground path if i recall

[pine trench]

bruh the house to the side

has a ladder down

I've spent an hour last night

and and hour today on this

thanks

[sullen terrace]

LMAO

All good

[pine trench]

back to getting clapped by the kamaitechi

[sullen terrace]

I knew it was close by and fairly simple, that part of the game was like 80+ hrs ago for me lol

Glad u found it

Oh the kaimatachi is annoying yeah. But it only took me couple tries in the beginning. I struggled the most with the final demo boss, crucible boss in that region ur in. Mostly because i was trying pure samurai and im wayyy better with ninja

[pine trench]

the demo was longer than turbo baba?

[pine trench]

yea I'm just using odachi samurai

I swap to ninja only to kill the bees with shuriken

and umi bozos with the lighting feathers

[sullen terrace]

Yeah the demo went all the way up the first full crucible. Idk if u got there yet

Towards the castle

[pine trench]

turbo baba?

yea I did her

after figuring outs its more or less 2 attacks, I got it

and that when she uses the ice snake, she like always goes for multiple sweeps

[indigo narwhal]

how the fuck do you get to turbo from jakotsu

[glacial quiver]

@pine trench wait till you meet turbo baba ng+ edition XD

me and my buddy did it when it was bugged in coop with half assed builds we had a blast XD

also starting to think i finally figured out what unlocks all the 170s 😛

[indigo narwhal]

dont encourage him

[sturdy solar]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3681010/view/530999318271756612?l=english

・Fixed an issue causing the Anisotropic Filtering option in the Visuals menu to always be set to x4 even if the player had selected another option.

fun

[indigo narwhal]

can't start the game anymore after the patch lol

verifying files just got me this wtf

oh it was the shader_dx12 folder i deleted because i thought it was a cache

yeah shit's still broken

[glacial quiver]

Seems to be happening to a lot of people, so I'm going to assume there will be a micro patch soon

[indigo narwhal]

well they'll probably fix this quick

yeah

[glacial quiver]

also hope they have a fix for the alt tab crash soon

[indigo narwhal]

seems like i can still start the game if i make sure no controller is connected until after it starts

not 100% sure

[indigo narwhal]

oh they just hotfixed it

[pine trench]

I've added an optional setting that lets you upgrade the game render from 32 to 64 bit; reducing banding and allowing colors to actually leave rec709

nvidia only, because AMD doesn't like R11 getting touched, and might have a hit on vram (stability should be fine based on RE9)

enable the setting and restart the game

[deft eagle]

Oooh thats awesome!

[mild steeple]

btw guys , this game can run at 90fps / 180fps / .. you only have to enable Multi Frame Generation, then the fps cap slider in settings adjusts itself accordingly
but then.. MFG sucks to begin with 🙁

[indigo narwhal]

90 fps is probably running at 30x3 which would feel terrible

[pallid walrus]

@fluid raven @pine trench @cerulean brook Does this mod work on Fatal Frame ii Crimson Butterfly Remake? I think they are using the same engine. If not, is there a plan for a RenoDX mod for the game? I couldn’t find anything when searching the mods posts

[pale crater]

no

their games have similar shaders but mods have to be made per game

[pallid walrus]

Thanks for the reply. I will probably delay playing the game until a proper RenoDX mod is created for it 🥲💔

[unkempt creek]

what's wrong with its native hdr?

[sullen terrace]

Has any1 gotten the camera in this game to be really smooth? I know this game’s engine sucks, but my game feels smoothest currently as long as I dont enable FG and just using optiscaler to force FSR4 upscaling. But even then, the first region and other areas of the game I get frame dips and some heavy sections just run between 95-110 fps whereas most of the time im at 120 on 9070x and 9800x3d

Is frame gen just broken in this game bc both amd and xefg feel horrible and less smooth than without this enabled

[unkempt creek]

the katana engine breaks if you try to make it run at anything else than exactly 30, 60 or 120 fps, this is widely known. make sure your framerate is something you can keep 100% stable

don't mess with the great Nippon steel

[pine trench]

I've been playing with 60 real frames and 2x and now 3x FG; using DLSS FG

its pretty solid

but I wouldn't put it past them to grief all non-dlss FG

[olive moon]

Xefg is broken with driver vsync

But that is normal for xefg

Other than that

[pine trench]

is there a chance optiscaler could be the grief

[olive moon]

Whether optiscaler is present or not didn't make a difference for me

[pine trench]

does XEFG also hide/gray out the vsync option in games

[olive moon]

No

[pine trench]

so the only way to enable it is via the nvcp

ah

[olive moon]

Only Nvidia does that for some reason

[pine trench]

I've only used XEFG through opti in games with no FG, so idk what does what

[olive moon]

Something is just weird with xefg and forcing vsync through the driver causes it to stutter like mad

In-game has no issues

Sounds like his issue is more that it isn't locked to the engine fps intervals

Which is because this game runs like ass

[pine trench]

how big of an upgrade is

xefg 3.0 or w/e just came out

I was pretty impressed with 2.0 or whatever the last verison was when I played CV2

very respectible 2x FG (60 -> 120)

[olive moon]

I think 3.0 is just mfg

[pine trench]

you sure? some dude pinged me and said

if I upgrade to 3.0, I dont need the

opti hud fix anymore

so I thought it was a model upgrade too

[olive moon]

Sorry it was up scaling that wasn't changed

Added 3x and 4x Multi-Frame Generation for Intel Arc GPUs
Improved frame generation models for better UI smoothness on all supported GPUs
Added support for external memory heaps for sharing GPU memory with other game engine components

[pine trench]

ah, never used upscaling

only the FG

[olive moon]

I'm not familiar with the hudfix stuff so not sure what all that is about but makes sense with the patch notes

[pine trench]

its an option in optifg

when you add FG

no hudfix = ass hud
hudfix = hud is as good as native

prolly comes at a cost, but works real good

[sullen terrace]

Well so I tried just using FG to go from 60 to 120fps and it feels horrible. I do have vsync enabled at the driver level as well bc i never disable freesync (i have a freesync premium pro 240hz monitor)

[sullen terrace]

I did try xefg while having vsync enabled at driver level in adrenalin so that could be part of issue

Here’s the thing, if i use rtss to cap at 60 and then turn on fg it doesnt push to 120fps with fg, still shows and feels like 60 so idk what im doing wrong.

[olive moon]

no idea then, i don't use rtss

just the in-game caps (which i'm sure are terrible as well)

[pine trench]

I stopped using ingame limiters with nioh3, and just use their limiter

no driver settings

I'm not a fan of global driver tweaks, if I do tweak something its going to be only in the game profile

turn off driver vsync and re-try

[pine trench]

because its capping 120 -> 60

if it behaves like nvidia's limiter

if I set a 60 fps limit in nvidia's limiter

and turn on 60 -> 120

it will take those 120 frames (with FG), and limit them to 60

which is a huge mess

just dont use any third party limiter, and turn off driver vsync

and problem solved

[sullen terrace]

So what should i do bc if i leave cap at 120 in rtss, in game it sets the fps to 240hz when i turn on fg

[olive moon]

driver vsync is usually not an issue, just xefg specifically doesn't like it

lower the in-game to 120. the in-game is showing post-fg cap

[sullen terrace]

And if i turn it down from 240 to 120 my overlay shows fps is 60 and doesnt feel smooth

Normally rtss overlay always shows the output fps not just base fps so i should see 120 and i dnt

When i do what u say

[pine trench]

okay

first off

get rid of all third party tools

including rtss

when you have issues, the first thing to do is make sure the issue is still present with just the vanilla game

third party tools includes any driver/nvcp changes

after you do that, setup framegen x2 with xessFG, 120 fps, and try it out

if it works well

[sullen terrace]

Dont think there will be a difference but i will try without rtss, literally use it in every single game ive ever played without issue

[pine trench]

the mod has code to kills overlays [because those might mess with renodx]

because the game creates multiple swapchains

so it might be griefing something

[sullen terrace]

gotcha, this was happening without renodx also

Bci first was playing the game in sdr, same issues were present so i just played the whole game without fg and it was all over the place

[pine trench]

just sharing that overlays can cause issues

[sullen terrace]

Yeah i gotchu, appreciate it

[pine trench]

either way first step to debugging anything is make sure it works vanilla

because if you're not debugging vanilla

you're wasting your time

and then you can start adding mods/tweaks back in one by one until something breaks

and then you just dont do the thing that breaks

[indigo narwhal]

toothless is right you dont want to use any external limiters here

you will get occasional heavy stutters tied to the game's online mode

it's very consistently one big stutter with a smaller one a second later

other than that no if your game isn't perfectly smooth your settings are too high

[olive moon]

is that what that shit is

does going offline fix it

[indigo narwhal]

Not sure because I like to spend all my time killing revenants lol

But yeah I've noticed several times that the stutters coincide with new revenant graves spawning in

[unkempt creek]

So you're saying we should set our global nvidia control panel limiter (I have mine 116 for 120hz+vsync) to off for this game?

[indigo narwhal]

You will stutter at 116fps, need to either play at 60fps or turn vrr off for the game and play at 120

[unkempt creek]

Right obviously but I was asking if I should turn that off if I'm using in-game 60 fps cap sorry forgot to mention that

[indigo narwhal]

Can use nvpi to just toggle the gsync flag for the game profile so you don't need to turn it off globally

[unkempt creek]

So vrr needs to be off as well?

[indigo narwhal]

Oh if you're already using the in-game 60 cap then the global limiter won't do anything

I think the game is just using reflex's limiter but Im not sure

[unkempt creek]

Yeah I think 60 is just fine for me as long as it doesn't hitch and stutter. It would be too hard to guarantee 120 since my output is 4K

Maybe in ultra perf, don't know didn't try but honestly 60 felt fine for me on console when I tried it

[indigo narwhal]

If you wanted to play at 120 on that display you'd either need to turn vsync off and deal with screen tearing or turn vrr off and deal with increased latencu

[unkempt creek]

I'm pretty damn sure real 60 fps feels more responsive than 60+framegen and tearing lmao why would anyone even opt for that?

I can always tell the input delay on framegen even with reflex on

[indigo narwhal]

I don't notice the latency hit personally and really enjoy the increased visual smoothness

[unkempt creek]

I can very much notice it but that's for shooters. Your aim just becomes shit. Less noticeable here but that doesn't mean lag isn't there, when timing of input is critical it's not something I'd fuck around with

[indigo narwhal]

Input framerates gotta get a lot worse than 60 for me to turn it off

Playing with a pad instead of a mouse also helps

Plus low camera movement vs an fps

[unkempt creek]

Yeah im talking with gamepad for both situations, can definetely feel the lag on a controller even more, aim is not such an issue on mouse it's already hard to aim well on a controller but framegen really turns it up to masochistic level. It's why I dont use it

[indigo narwhal]

I can still pull off the beyond infinity inputs fine so that's good enough 4 me

[unkempt creek]

Motion smoothness just feels fine to me on 60 with a controller thankfully, why would I add input lag to make it slightly more better 🤷‍♂️

[pale crater]

native 120 fps or busted sorry

🤷‍♂️

[olive moon]

i'm not actually sure how to force the game to go into offline mode? steam offline mode didn't do it

and it is still online even after blocking connections using windows defender

it might just be placebo but it does seem a bit smoother now

[pine trench]

@pale crater

I just finished act 1, did every map objective (except the few spirit guardian abiltiies I didnt unlock), every side quest, picked up every amrita, kodama, etc. Only used samurai + odachi outside of the ninja training missions where you're forced to use ninja. I think ninja is pretty cool, but I'm here to play good ole nioh with ki pulsing and all that

I wish stuf like the kusarigama and staff wasnt locked to ninja, but maybe they'll "port it back" as a DLC feature, who knows.

honestly so far its a pretty solid game. There are a few changes I'm not a fan of, but as a whole its fine; nothing to doom over.

idk how act2+ is going to be, but we'll see

I wish weapon specific skill trees where like Nioh2, and where tied to weapon usage vs. locks. I know we have infinite respecs and loadouts, but I dont want to menu around just to try another weapon out

I love the new stat scaling system. in nioh2 you had to get to DOTN and pray a weapon dropped with a star affix to scale with a stat of choice

idk how I feel about the skill loadouts, in the older games they where just stuff you learned in the talent tree or where part of a weapon/set bonus

[glacial quiver]

Odachi, so your playing hard mode samurai 😂

[pale crater]

ya its one of the two worst samurai weapons

the other is dualsword

[glacial quiver]

Dual can work odachi is just a worse axe

[pale crater]

based

[glacial quiver]

?

[pale crater]

i mean you are right

[glacial quiver]

Oh lol

The nerfs to odachi don't make sense either

[pale crater]

you get deflected in mid stance with an odachi in nioh 3

what a joke

[glacial quiver]

Yup

Meanwhile axe got the buffs that made odachi well odachi

Similar moves to odachi nioh2

[pale crater]

axe is the best weapon in nioh3

(best samurai weapon

[glacial quiver]

Eh pure single hit DMG yes, DPS no

[pale crater]

overall best imo

[glacial quiver]

Debatable there's other options that do more dps

[pine trench]

I found magic scaling duel blades, and just spamming Water Sword shreds enemies in like 1 second

when the odachi would take multiple combos

I still plan on using the odachi unless I find something super cool, because i like my big sword

but I cant imagine how the other weapons are if the odachi is considered shit tier, and the duel blades which are ass do 10x more dps

[glacial quiver]

axe is basically a better odachi very similar moves yet without the punishment that they gave odachi cause reasons, cestus are strong if you can keep beyond infinity going on the ninja side tonfas are brutal when paired with elements

[pine trench]

I dont want to go fisting people like van darkholme

also I'm not interested in playing ninja

maybe in the future, for now I just want good ole samurai

axes dont look as cool as a big ass odachi though

maybe they have a cool skin for an axe

[glacial quiver]

Switch glaive and regular Sam sword are strong too

Or you can magic bolt everything 😂

[pine trench]

I played the switch glaive in n2

I wanted to try something different

[glacial quiver]

Gotcha

[pine trench]

originally I wanted to play the kusarigama with onmyo buffs (since its fast, it can apply debuffs fast)

but they made that ninja only

so thats an F

[glacial quiver]

Magic non kusi samurai is an option

[pine trench]

what

[glacial quiver]

Debuff samurai

[pine trench]

oh yea

I've been doing that with odachi

I've pumped every skillpoint into magic

a bunch of odachis scale with magic

I dont use sloth on story bosses, because its cheesey

but I buff myself + familiar + elemental weapon

and its fun

I might try duel swords or regular sam sword

duel swords scale with magic, so maybe I'll just move on to them

[glacial quiver]

There's more Later On, your semi gimped till act3

[pine trench]

I heard later on you can make any weapon scale with anything

[glacial quiver]

Yup

[pine trench]

also familiars feel kinda weak, but maybe its because I'm still early

in nioh2 a familar almost instnatly applied the elemental debuff

[glacial quiver]

My farm build is 99 magic 99 int

[pine trench]

so confusion was fairly fast to apply through familiar + weapon paper

[glacial quiver]

Kasha is crying in the corner

[pine trench]

man kasha was a peak soul cor ein nioh2

spamming kasha, otakamaru

ippon

if theres one thing I constnatly miss, its all the yokai abilities

[glacial quiver]

Kasha core in nioh3 is a joke

[pine trench]

I mean it looks like all the cores kinda suck

as in their summon

also you cant build around them

in nioh2 you could make builds that instnatly refill your anima, so you'd spam abiltiies every frame

[glacial quiver]

Also magic scales with soul core and unhanded DMG 😂

[pine trench]

I remember in nioh2 scumpuss would lock up humans

it seems to do the same thing here

summon scumpuss and mash on a human

and they'll loose all their ki blocking 3 attack sources

[glacial quiver]

So all fist skills + carnage+ barehanded talis = 30k+ lightning bolt

[pine trench]

I wonder if its because when you cast onmyo

you're bare handed

so potato code

made all that stuff apply

[glacial quiver]

Nope omyo scales with weapon DMG 😂

[pine trench]

iirc in nioh2 onmyo scaled with the level of your best weapon

and ofcourse all the graces/set bonuses

[glacial quiver]

It's just that you can boost barehanded DMG to stupid levels

Cause multipliers 😂

[pine trench]

but they grief my odachi

ty kt

[glacial quiver]

😂

Mostly cause stupid ki cost with nothing to gain from it

Where axe does the same without getting punished

https://youtu.be/omltF2eVo-4?si=flVB2cVGlG_FrNd8

[pine trench]

I dont want spoilers

just got to act2

even though

I dont really give 2 shits about the story

[glacial quiver]

Oops sorry 😁

[pine trench]

d.w

[glacial quiver]

After you beat that one, the video is a good example of what Sam sword can pull off

[pine trench]

idk about 1, but in 2 samurai sword was always the 500iq weapon

that was really strong

but you needed more than 2 braincells

do you unlock the scaling thing in act3 or NG+?

[pallid walrus]

The typical slightly raised black floor, and peak highlights are not always present for elements that should be like the flashlight especially when it is close to the wall

[deft eagle]

I love the regular katana movesets in the team ninja games so my first playthroughs are always all katanas

[naive widget]

Katana is the best (I can't use anything else)

[olive moon]

I'm having a ton of fun with tonfas and cestus

Crazy cool movesets

[glacial quiver]

@pine trench it's related to the blacksmith myths

[deft eagle]

Honestly i just love its animations in their games. Their katana anims capture the samurai vibe so nicely

[pine trench]

ima try duel swords for now, water sword is fun

just gotta find some basic combos

[deft eagle]

My next character will probably do dual swords

[pine trench]

I did the 5 boss rush you unlock after act 1

the first time I killed boss 4, I put my controller down because the mission is named "4 generals" or something like that; only to get clapped while sipping my juice box

after a handful of tries, I was able to get it done; and can finally start act2

with my skills (non existant, I'm ass), it would've been impossible with the odachi; so I've used duelblades and those hit like a truck for how little ki they use compared to the odachi

[indigo narwhal]

Thanks for the update

[deft eagle]

Oh right i forgot to go back and do that mission lol

[pine trench]

I just noticed in act2 you still have 7 elixers on rest based on act1 kodama; I guess we'll get 10+ elixers on rest with all the new kodama

@deft eagle

make sure to do go do the side area in act 1 after you do the first mission in act 2

North of Iinoya

if you go there super juiced up, it might not be as fun

Also I tried the axe, even with no stats (all my points went into magic) or skill talents, I clapped a boss just doing a basic light -> heavy string in high stance

not too different from the odachi, but exponentially stronger

[north swan]

I play in Ninja mode 99% of the time

[pine trench]

I havnt messed around with ninja, it feels cool but I like samurai

[glacial quiver]

8 is max, you can go up to 9 with talents basically

[pine trench]

so they do have talens for elixers, in nioh2 your +elixer talents where in the ninjutsu tree

kind of cute you can get pretty much all your elixers in act 1, but I doubt most people will hunt down all the kodama before progressing quests

[glacial quiver]

Can't check right now where it's at my building is without power 😑

[pine trench]

[glacial quiver]

Transformer outside went poof

I did all the kodama in ng, in ng+ they don't really give that much so

[pine trench]

I'm mostly trying to get all the achievements out of the way in NG

and chores

so in NG+ and DLC I can just bumrush to the new missions

and not go kodama hunting in the old zones

[deft eagle]

Yeah I got him, though i did it a bit later than that...my build leavs me very susceptible to getting one shot lol X D appreciate the heads up though. Kinda a cool fight, even if not the hardest boss

[pine trench]

I have 10 in every stat except magic

and my armor is random shit from 15 hours ago, so I get one shot too

well more like 1 combod

or if I miss a red attack

also based on the kodama and jizo achievement, it seems act 2+3 might be about the same size as act 1

iirc polly said something about act 1 being where the game peaks

and act2 has a lot less areas I can highlight compared to 1

the act2 vibe is cool though

[glacial quiver]

Vibe wise yes, level design nope you spend way too much time running around to open a door that should have been open from the beginning 😑

Act3 has its moments

But by that time I kinda wanted to rush to the end

[pine trench]

so nioh2 missions

I dont really mind any of that since I pick up every amrita on the floor

before progressing

gotta find the homies (kodama), locks, etc

btw do you get more sam/ninja locks in NG+?

[glacial quiver]

I got about 6 billion amrita stored 😂

Sadly no

[pine trench]

its not about the amrita, its that they can have books in them

[pine trench]

no thank god

we dont have to run around the whole map for more

if the game only makes me do the ubi collect-a-thon in NG (and the DLC maps when they come out) I'll be a happy boi

[visual dew]

What’s the recommended settings for renodx nioh3? I feel the picture is a little washed out

[pine trench]

are you on the nexus versionor the github snapshot? the nexus version is out of date

if you have an nvidia gpu, in advanced upgrade to 64 bit for debanding

and you can crank up the gamma slider for a bit more contrast, it defaults to 1.03, but you can set it to whatever you want

I need to update the nexusmods build, I'll try to remember to do it when I wake up

[deft eagle]

Yeah I pretty much only light armor in team ninja games cause the dodges above light load just feel weird and bug me so i kinda always play squishy and dodge heavy.

Finally played a bit today and tried out the newer builds, great job! Massive inprovements honestly. The bloom slider is also a godsend

[sullen terrace]

RenoDX mod got updated on Nexusmods

https://www.nexusmods.com/nioh3/mods/12?tab=files

[pine trench]

yea that was me

its the same build as the current github snapshot; update to it if you didnt last week when I mentioned it got updated

[sullen terrace]

oh ok gotcha

I still had the other one that had dev in the file name, it wasa snapshot from a while back but i saw last snapshot was from last friday

just updated

[pine trench]

make sure to delete dev

its all the same stuff, dev was just what I name things while I work on them so there are no git conflicts

[sullen terrace]

yeah i did

[pine trench]

why cant I remodel some weapons? I have a kool hammer and wanted to swap it to scale with int and magic; but it doesnt show up in the blacksmith's menu

[sullen terrace]

you can only remodel a weapon if it has a + value

so you have to add +1 to it first

[pine trench]

oh

[deft eagle]

Yeah took me a bit to realize that too

[pine trench]

do weapons scale with all 3 stats equally, or is it just the highest stat

lets say I have a weapon that scales with magic, int, and heart

if I put in 1 point into magic, 1 point into int, and one point into heart; is it the same as 3 points into magic for example

if thats the case I'm probably better off pumping int past 50, for buff duration

[glacial quiver]

first +15 as a drop just now 😄

[pine trench]

[glacial quiver]

shit ones but that lowers my upgrade costs :p

[pine trench]

idk if I'm going to grind out a build in NG+, we'll see what the base game has

I might just get to NG+, do whatever bossrush quests there are/challange quests

and grind the achievements outs ince they dont seem hard to get

usually the really cool build stuff comes in the DLC

[deft eagle]

Highest gets primary then the other two are an equal secondary supposedly. Looks correct in my testing

[deft eagle]

Yeah really looking forward to seeing what the dlc end up being

[pine trench]

ty

[keen plover]

Cheated gear

waiting for the DLC to dive into NG+

NG+ (and ++/+++/++++) was a lot better in Nioh 2 imho, since it was level based you could rush through it to get to the real endgame

[deft eagle]

I love the game...i use ng+ to play through the game more, never really resonated with the rush to end game mindset. What nioh did great is it accommodated both mindsets really well. If you wanted to rush... you could, if you wanted to play through everything each ng+....also totally an option.

It's something other games like Diablo have moved away from...and only really cater to the one crowd now

I took my time in 2 and taking my time in 3

just with 2 we already had the definitive edition on pc

[glacial quiver]

eh no, i did tons of farming? i'm still locked to 169 gear due to a bug, a bug that is still preventing me from getting higher than 168 on certain slots.

after the patch i was getting +11 alot then +13 and last time +15 not everything is cheated 🤣

if i cheated dont you think i would have perfect gear in every slot by now for both my farm build and my ninja and samurai build? oh wait besides the farm build being average 169 (besides gun) the rest is 160 or a random high level gear slot to boost drops

[keen plover]

Not cheated in the traditional way just did the drop item thing for +15

[pine trench]

omg we got poop eater's backstory in nioh3

[glacial quiver]

No that was an actual drop since the new patch 0 glitches used before that drop I was getting +12s and+13s

Only +15 I have seen drop since the 1.4.x patches, if it was a drop exploit I would not even have bothered posting it

Luck around 425 drop rate 58% and tons of farming since the patch

I also have another build with 475 luck about 46% drop rate don't remember which variant I used but most likely the 425 variant

[glacial quiver]

just got the second +15 drop on scion seems to be a really rare drop even rarer than getting 170

Last night I finished act 2, with the boring ass tree mission

and now the first boss of what I assume is the start of act 3, ||your brother, idr his name|| clapped me so hard I went to bed a bit earlier

if I swap to the axe, I can prolly do it; but I want to beat NG with my trusty odachi and duel swords

[indigo narwhal]

thats great honey remember to brush your tooth

[deft eagle]

tree mission meaning antiquity? thats where i am atm

[pine trench]

yea

with the batteries

[glacial quiver]

Yeah brother is a pita

[stark imp]

hello, just bought the game, are there any worth mods except renodx and nioh3fix ? because on the nexus all i can see is outfits or nude mods x)

[deft eagle]

That's it really, at least now

[stark imp]

ok thanks

[vocal moon]

It was working very well but today it started to flicker when I started the game.. did not change anything and did nothing - anything changed?

[stark imp]

the game update ?

[quiet vector]

https://teamninja-studio.com/nioh3/us/update/

[pine trench]

I gotta ge tback in the game

[deft eagle]

Yeah can't wait for the dlc X D

[pine trench]

I got to the start of act 3, and kind of got distracted by yugioh ngl

[deft eagle]

Im still in antiquity. Took a break myself cause I don't want to finish yet X D also playing through rise of the ronin

[pine trench]

the rise of ronin mod needs a rework

it can prolly be copy and pasted from nioh3

the only issue is motivation

[deft eagle]

I mean, it still looks better than vanilla hdr imo. Honestly I'm really enjoying that game, though im also just a big fan of that period

[pine trench]

thats the only reason I got it

long ago

but never got around to sitting down and playing it

[deft eagle]

I love it so far personally. I really enjoy how each weapon type is split into different schools you can learn too. Honestly I didn't think id enjoy it as much as i do but i think it's a blast

[north swan]

Jesus this game is huge

I probably have like 50h now

I think I'm at the final area.

[pine trench]

lmk if the update broke anything, everything seems fine on my end (and in the areas I've tested)

[north swan]

Fininshed the game w/ around 63h played. No issues.

[royal otter]

sorry to bother you - im wondnering whether to start playthrough [for RoR, - you reckon you will fix the mod or no interest/not particularly needed/etc?

thank you very much!

[royal otter]

how broken is the mod strictly speaking?

[pine trench]

ronin?

needs a rework

just need motivation ngl

[royal otter]

im a balding middle aged man but if there is anything i could do to help with motivation you let me know ❤️

story seems cool seeing Perry as a bladed Chad gave me such a chuckle. i feel we dont have many games with gray non patronizing worlds

[pine trench]

update, lmk if mod broken

tested the main menu and hub, seems fine

[deft eagle]

I won't be able to test for a couple days as memorial Day week is a brutal work week for me but I'll give it a test and let you know soon as I can

[dusky zinc]

played about 30 mins in the snow area
seemed good to me
