I have AE feedback, almighty Devs.
If I stand below an enemy on the stairs and I am colliding with them they don't realize i'm in range and don't attack.
Blue staff feels underpowered and feels like it wastes about 1/3 of my ammo. Bad gamefeel there.
There's a big problem with most if the weapons for me and this is that they feel underpowered. This doesn't mean they're unbalanced, rather, it just means they're missing a good feeling. The Axe has that clang sound (are you guys Berserk fans?) that sounds super heavy and powerful but there's almost no feedback when you swing or hit an enemy. A little camera movement can go a long way with this.
Another case for this is Whispers edge, which has little to no feedback for firing and the collision when hitting enemies can feel entirely like a miss if you're not paying close attention. The sounds need some more oomph or bass to get a good effect and there should be an equivalent of that axe clang for every hit on an enemy.
I understand this may be a deliberate choice to contrast between normal combat and soul mode but for me the underpowered feeling isn't working very well.
Something I thought was very interesting was the kill feedback you have on some weapons. The trident for example will electrify enemies for a short time when they die and this was a VERY good tell for when to stop firing. Why not have some feedback directly in the first person model when a kill happens? If the blue staff sparked on a kill or whispers edge flashed green it would go a long way to help me understand what's happening when things get chaotic.
Another feedback problem I am having is that it's hard to tell what the status of the player character is. The ripply voice sounds get lost very easily when a lot is going on and it can be very hard to tell when I take a hit. I stood still and let a melee character slap me a little and I realized it basically just deducts health and makes a quiet sound. Needs more - some shake, louder feedback or some sort of damage flash. I also noticed that damage sounds were not playing consistently. For instance when 3 melee enemies are striking me I am taking nearly constant damage but only have a sound to notify me every 1-2 seconds.
Pickups don't give any visual feedback and just disappear when I'm within a foot or so of them. Might be improved by some small visual queue.
Why can't I open my saved games screen when I die? I don't want to load latest every time or go to the main menu.

Steam forums?
sweet sky
Why can't I preserve soul mode? I often have to use it when I only want to kill one enemy. this is annoying
Moon guardian has no music (might be known already)
tall temple
might want to take the feedback essay to steam forums if you want dev/qa attention. it will get lost here
sweet sky
Sure - I just figured I'd post here because the game directly said 'join discord and give feedback'
will take it to steam 😃
cursive kestrel
Yeah, the forums are watched religiously but walls of text are often lost on Discord
Your thoughts are appreciated nonetheless
sweet sky
Cheers 😃
quasi pier
agreed on feedback about getting hit and picking items
also you have played before of after patch?
because sword and trident got buffed
sweet sky
Feedback is based on today
It's not about balance, it's about the feeling the weapons give
the damage is probably fine but because of poor hit feedback they feel underpowered , doesn't necessarily mean they are
Most if not all of the weapons feel 'airy' and like you're blowing a magical kiss at the baddies 😛
quasi pier
hmmm somewhat agree on this
first 3 shooting weapons(staff,sword,trident)could use some more "oomph"
sand lintel
i think they broke the soul meter with the last update, you no longer keep the souls you gather in a level when you travel to the next
already made a bug post about it but just lettin people know
kinda fuckin with full ep runs hard right now lol
quasi pier
maybe that is deliberate?
sand lintel
probably not considering its been persistent across levels for like months before public release
also says nothing about changes to soul mode or souls in the patch notes, so feeling pretty confident its not intended
crystal spruce
@sweet sky I like the magical kiss analogy 😂 😂 😂
I love all the weapons.. but the oomph yep I agree
merry flame
I think screen flashing should have a slider that changes the strength of the flashing
normally people don't like how often and how bright it is but turning it off also removes the screen flashing red upon taking damage
and that one's slightly important
will probably make a post on the suggestion forums aboot it

@sweet sky I agree, with the exception of the mace they all feel pretty underwhelming in both impact, and feedback. The water staff has a bouncy animation that feels like a soft cuddly bunny bouncing up and down and it sounds like someone swashing water around in their mouth. The sword has a swooshing sound effect upon firing, the problem being its a sword impacting with something that feels satisfying not the act of swinging it making the weapon as a whole hard to make impactful. The voltrides tiny zappy sounds don't lead to something that feels like its got any kick, and the recoil is pretty piddly as well. The celestial claw sounds like its launching pillows, and the explosion sounds just as impactful. Finally the impact of the bfg thing feels fine to me its just what it does to enemies that I have a problem with. They kinda just evaporate in a slow and underwhelming way. I'm not saying this maliciously or to insult the game in anyway it is a fantastic game but because it wants to focus so much on combat these are the kinda things that need to be ironed out. The secondary firing modes are great across the board its primarily the well... Primary firing modes i take umbrance with. The other issue being when enemies stumble back, its not quite as immediate as say something like dusks enemies suddenly jolting to a flinch, and because they just shrug most attacks off it feels like your not doing much to them which is fine for the big guys but the little ones not so much.

Another biggie:
The enemies in chapter 2 throw what appears to be large health globules.
This creates some huge ludonarrative dissonance for the player.

huge +1 to most weapons not having enough of a "punch"
thank you guys for wording it so thoroughly :-)

@sweet sky agreed. Also screw the purple dudes
vestal palm
they're pretty easy if you use the axe
vestal palm
yea enemies in e3 have weaknesses
like the golems dying easier to the planet launcher
craggy cypress
Regardless of what you use they are not enjoyable to fight, at the very least have them loosely track the player rather than perfectly darting for them.
proper oxide
how dare a game have hard enemies
vestal palm

lone hatch
I know right
vestal palm
they're fine now
craggy cypress
Thats not why i dont like them
proper oxide
ever stop to consider they are supposed to push you out of your comfort zone?
versed violet
They arent hard to kill but they're not fun to kill either. I do like them as a challenge but i can see why someone wouldnt be satisfied
vestal palm
timing an axe right in this game is a joy
versed violet
I like them cos they make you feel vulnerable
proper oxide
they certainly arent the best enemy but they suit the role of "getting up in your face" perfectly
versed violet
Youre not just some colossal death machine
merry flame
They're not actually that lethal if they do get in your face; they're almost explicitly annoying
meant to get in the way of the MASSIVE STONES flying towards your face
vestal palm
i'd argue they're the best melee in the lineup currently, projectile shooting, fast and melee enemies
versed violet
Good distraction enemies so you forget a giant golem is coming at you
vestal palm
certainly getting the pace going
proper oxide
paragraph inbound
craggy cypress
They aren't interesting as enemy types they instantly dart for the player which would be fine if a good chunk of the types didn't do that already. What's worse though is that with the other types their movements were a bit more varied than walk in a straight line and I felt like there was some ounce of skill in taking them down. The purple pricks are just annoying. Not hard I never died to them once, but I was just so ticked off whenever I saw them. I never felt like there was ever any skill in avoiding them or dodging them, i just felt like they were a bunch of love hungry sadists trying to hug me.
vestal palm
disappointed, expected more
btw leave this feedback on the steam forums so the devs will definitely see this
craggy cypress
The other thing is that they are used alone with none of the golem types most of the time so the excuse of them being a distraction doesnt fly
jolly bramble
this certainly ain't the most welcoming channel for user feedback
proper oxide
leaving feedback in this channel isnt really recommended to begin with
itll jut get buried in a few hours
craggy cypress
Yeah
jolly bramble
do sticky that somewhere then :)
proper oxide
you are way better off leaving a steam post
pins are reserved for announcements
not feedback
/memes
jolly bramble
sticky your announcement of not leaving feedback here
proper oxide
nah
jolly bramble
not our feedback
proper oxide
because no one reads the pins to begin with lol
vestal palm
there is a sticky saying that feedback goes in the steam forums
proper oxide
its just easier to tell people to go to the steam forums
lone hatch
plus we already have that pinned
jolly bramble
o shit, there is?
lone hatch
if anyone bothered to read pins
jolly bramble
damn :D
gentle zealot
reading is hard
jolly bramble
still, the other point stands, you acting so defensive to raw user feedback makes you (and by extension, due to your position) this whole community seem childish and unwelcoming
well worded user feedback is priceless, what you're doing is just bad business for the devs
vestal palm
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
jolly bramble
which, I think, is against any of our interests
proper oxide
how long have you been here for?
vestal palm
i knew it
jolly bramble
does it matter?
proper oxide
I know it seems that we dont take it into consideration, but i do pass just about everything onto the devs. I wouldnt say its defensive, but thats how people are around here. Its been like this since day 1
jolly bramble
"it's always been like this' is a really bad argument for anything
proper oxide
what may seem like childish and defensive to you is just regular banter for us
tall temple
Feedback is better posted to the forums. Devs and QA watch it like a hawk. Discord is absolute trash for this. If you really care about getting your feedback out and influencing the game, the steam forums is the way to do it.
There's no better way of doing it
jolly bramble

Wait a second
Weapons in this game have secondary fire?
Holy hell what have I been doing this whole time
Protip: The Hordes of Evil mode is the freakin' best
If I had any doubts about the design or feel of the game, that mode dispelled them
pulsar karma
It's a soft spot for me because I generally love wave-based gameplay anyway, and it's more forgiving than DUSK's (with the lack of respawning resources 'n' all that)
sweet sky
what the blood?
pulsar karma
Blood health, mana, all that yeah
DUSK's endless mode -- as far as I can tell -- doesn't respawn health, but it does respawn ammo and riches at least
so it's a lot harder.
I like harder but Amid Evil hits the spot 👌

biorifle wouldn't work in AE because the enemies just charge straight at you in not-too-big areas. it worked in Unreal 1 because the enemies liked to dodge projectiles

mouse-sensitivity.com is just one of those sites you think is completely pointless until you give it a try. having the same mouse feel in almost every fps is a dream come true. not that AE will ever be added due to its y-axis bullshit though

you say that like he doesn't get around that
i mean, here's ion maiden's Notes: Set X-Scale to half the value of Y-Scale to get a 1:1 horizontal and vertical sensitivity.

try the 256 color VGA mode, it unifies a lot of color shades into a more even, paletted look

Whoever said they need to learn Color Theory in Amid Evil is wrong. Looks pretty good so far.
wooden aurora
are u sure 🤔

i would laugh if Leon's monitor was actually fucked up (like it's not displaying full range or whatever) and when he finally sees AE playing on a normal monitor, he says "what the fuck is this clown vomit shit"
no disrespect of course (i fucking love AE)

My monitor(s) are fine lmao

(on Hard difficulty)
sand lintel
i dont think difficulty changes enemy health and stuff
but yeah axe is for the low level goons, it one shots most of the low tier enemies while the sword is best for groups
sand lintel
never really played evil difficulty so you may be right but i didnt notice any changes between easy and hard
north pulsar
Couldn't make the jump over the pit on normal so had to play on hard
plain grail
from easy to normal to hard you get more enemies and fewer pickups
evil's the only one that actually changes enemy attributes, making them faster and tougher
sand lintel
does evil also have increased enemy count from hard or is it just hard enemy count with faster movespeed and higher hp?
vestal palm
episode 3 has increased enemy count, haven't extensively tested the other but it seems the same there
heavy fog
Is there no concept of armor in this game? Thats certainly a departure from the source material
vestal palm
Final results: there are increased monster counts on all levels on e3 on evil and on e1 only on selenic stronghold by one and the rest of the levels have the same monster counts

is ep1 just a planet/realm of moon hipsters
north pulsar
Yes
woeful saffron
So now the question is what will Ep 4 be? Solar Solstice? Arcane Expanse? The Forge?
meme lord land?
plucky isle
ep4 may be all 3 of them
depends on which portal you step through first
or wait... even 4 of them
inc. sacred path
woeful saffron
Hrrrmph 
I find it interesting though how in Hordes of Evil mode, we fight some of the Solar Solstice enemies. But mayhaps they are trying to throw us off
lavish parrot
I took the trouble to write all the codes by hand with pencil to better visualize them.
Then I wanted to group cheating elements by categories, see in alphabetical order.
If anyone finds it a good idea to make a guide ...
Here is the text file! If someone wants to complete it.
Because I undertook this but I do not think I can continue.
wooden aurora
wait Y do people need a guide for cheats
merry flame
but
you can already look at all the current and future cheats by hitting f1 and going to cheats........
wooden aurora
ya
lavish parrot
I know but I think it would be interesting to group / separate (Level, Mode, Player, Graphics ...) and explain with images what exactly it corresponds to. Because by viewing the list, I noticed that it does not help me to choose which code to use. =/
merry flame
iunno, part of the fun for me is punching the code in just to see what WACKY EFFECTS happen
aesthetic is great

sand lintel
will the next update include a fix for the souls not transfering over between levels?
would really like to improve some full ep run times but this bug impacts them a little bit
sand lintel
if it were intended it probably wouldve been noted in the patch notes :p
plucky isle
Well I can definitely remember a feauture that was not mentioned in the notes, can't remember exactly which one
Yeah: some level changes - fog at e1m4, sentinel statues in ep2 etc
sand lintel
sweet, good to hear
quasi pier
speaking of new patch how soon is soon?
sand lintel
havent ever encountered random soul mode on load lol that would be neat
night ginkgo
there's also a 'keep weapons' option if you want start each level with nothing
plucky isle
Oh that is great
south shuttle
axe starts, hell yeah
plucky isle
cause I always felt a bit overpowered when starting a new episode with all the guns collected
sand lintel
feelin like im probably the only person that did that my first time through lol
i found aeleon really early and used that to start episode 2 and 3 fresh
quasi pier
oh yes,axe start! love it!
sand lintel
but yeah some levels are crazy short when you can start it with claw, like e2m1
plucky isle
Yeah the Claw seems to be more of a noclip cheat than Noclip cheat itself 😄
quasi pier
also weapon pickups at the start of many levels tells you axe start is good choice!
night ginkgo
yeah it was intended for level select peeps
update should be today if all goes well with testing
night ginkgo
(nz time)

nz time? so how many hours left?

Can't figure out the precise timezone on my clock setting, but it is approx. 11.20 a.m. in NZ now

some fun stuff to be found with aero :)
pretty sure i found the room that leads to the final boss or w/e in the hub world with it
sand lintel
floor gives away right?
sand lintel
yeah, theres a number of ways to aero into it
night ginkgo
ah well no spoilers lmao
sand lintel
i noticed it while planet jumping around and figured "i wonder if i can get there"
night ginkgo
it will probably just reload the level if you go into the portal
sand lintel
it loads the main menu lol
night ginkgo
yeah or that
sand lintel
still thought it was neat with how the room does its thing and the voice line
sand lintel
I think I could make a good qa guy for New blood games, I find quite a bit of stuff haha
woeful saffron
Yeah I just figured out how to get there too, and I'm currently walking around in the hallway and floor room

slight spoiler leak

I meant from me haha, I think I might've been the first person to find that

Oh yeah thanks btw, also on top of the Evil difficulty portal you can see a bush or tree clipping through and see the skybox

can only imagine how long it took to fly out there lol, tried this on e1m2 yesterday and got outside the first skybox but then the second one just seemed infinitely far away, and that was after about 15 minutes
lavish parrot
Yeah, but it's nothing to compare to cosmic time. Haha, imagine the time it takes to actually move from one point to another in the universe. It should have a superluminal speed.
^^ Or go into a black hole / wormhole.

Too bad there is some places where you can not get out of the level.
sand lintel
yeah some levels are sealed up really well, unsure if there is any way to get out of e3m3
signal sinew
Ok, so...
i found a little silly bug
il try to record it later
on e3m2
there is stone block on the rope
and for some reason jumping physics is completely fucked when you stand on this block
(btw, its the same block that falls and brakes the ground, after you press a button)
lavish parrot
I have just tried all levels ;o
I noticed that sometimes I go through a door without choosing the level.
dark granite
you have to beat the episode to be able to select the level by entering the portal
lavish parrot
Rather interesting this glitch in aesthetic mode.
Strangely, I had already done the levels before.
It looks like the encrypted data of a spectrogram. 😅
