[strong pier]

no

[steel bough]

alr

[gusty warren]

Awesome, that gives me hope

[strong pier]

nightmare mode "gameplay becomes more challenging as resources are limited"

[rare musk]

Maybe me? I’ve done 3-4 playthroughs, along with playing co-op with a friend on his save and I still haven’t gotten it either

[lapis mural]

Probably just a bug I’ve been getting loot every time.

That’s unfortunate though because I loot them every time i see them so it’d suck not getting anything

[burnt shuttle]

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong with excalibur? I have the 8 sigils and i'm at the excalibur location but it's not letting me place the sigils.

[lapis mural]

Might just be a bug, try going back to the main menu and back in. Worked for me the first time.

[burnt shuttle]

I'll try that thank you

[lapis mural]

Np 👍🏽

[rare musk]

It’s odd for sure. Hope it’s fixed soon

[burnt shuttle]

If i'm in a friend's world, will it still work for me?

[sick vale]

Does the beast have split screen

[gusty warren]

My son even noticed it and he he’s playing on story difficulty. I told him that the guys with the backpacks give good items and he said they don’t give anything Dad and I watched him do it and sure enough if he got nothing for three or four of them

[sick vale]

That’s happened to me

And I am on normal

[lapis mural]

No split screen only co op

[unborn scaffold]

anyone wanna play?

[plain void]

Yall think there might be a dlc for dltb?

[lapis mural]

Not likely no

They’re most likely working on the next game

They need to hurry up and add snow and some kind of Christmas event before it’s too late. They got the big stuff out of the way so there’s no reason for them not to do anything 🥲

[misty arch]

I’ve stopped playing dltb because I have nothing to do on there

[thorny crane]

I have a lot to do

[gusty warren]

Already cleared ng+ on nm?

[acoustic vigil]

this was about the repair your weapon 50 times achievement it’s just not giving it to me but yes def a bug

I didn’t get my achievement for 112 enemy kills w a flamethrower until after this last patch

[misty arch]

Yes, I recently finished dying light the following

[mellow escarp]

For the campaign save, if I play nightmare difficulty with no ng+ before which means just main story complted first time, and I'm legend 300, I can one shot any volatile right ?

[thorny crane]

Should do

[stark dew]

this darn chimera is getting on my nerves

[untold goblet]

When you hit legend levels do the iconic weapon rewards give you blueprints for em aswell?

[lapis mural]

Yeah

[untold goblet]

Beautiful

[untold kite]

Bro can y’all take off friendly fire they abusing it like crazy

[untold goblet]

Ima stock the fuck outta food before starting nightmare 😂

[lapis mural]

Right I have no idea why they thought friendly fire was a good idea, it serves no purpose at all, I’m LL300 and can get one tapped by a rifle round it’s crazy

[lapis mural]

Absolutely your gonna need it, stack food and battery’s

[lapis folio]

Trust me friend it’s gonna be hell

[untold goblet]

😈

[thorny crane]

5k battery’s and I only use like 5 a ng plus run

And I’m stocking up on food today

[lapis mural]

I play a lot of co op so I like to have them on hand, I have 2k

I like to have more than I’ll ever need

And then some

[untold goblet]

I have 178🤣 but im still on my main run from launch day lol

[thorny crane]

That’s good ima defo loot a lot more now that I’m back to 30 runs so I have enough for 100 runs

[lapis mural]

Yeah I have enough loot to play the game for the next year or 2 without looting again and still be good but ima keep looting regardless 😅

[untold goblet]

Havent been able to grind dltb like 1 and 2 but im enjoying it at the pace im going at rn

[thorny crane]

It’s fun tbh

[lapis mural]

Yeah I took my sweet time with DLTB but now that I’ve beat it I’ve been speedrunning it and playing a lot of co op helpin people

[untold goblet]

Exactly what ima try and do ,just enjoy it now and once I finish streaming the story for my buddy and show him some of the legend level rewards try and go hard lol

[acoustic vigil]

what is even the method to get this many batteries

like am I gonna have to sit there for hours looting dark zones and buying them from shops??

[untold kite]

I’m ngp 20 is bad?

I don’t touch grass

[rare musk]

Not really, I’ve seen people with 40+

Probably more

[thorny crane]

Looting

[thorny crane]

The only other person I know on 40 is cheating cus he on story mode so it don’t count

[rare musk]

Tsk tsk tsk, for shame

[acoustic vigil]

looting wha dark zones?

[thorny crane]

Yes

[thorny crane]

Well story allows to beat the game much faster where as I’m on nightmare so bro ain’t doing anything

[gray crest]

just beat nightmare 🙂

[thorny crane]

Nice man how’d you find it

[rare musk]

Brother is straight slogging through the game

[gray crest]

it wasnt too hard tbh

[thorny crane]

Yep

[inland sonnet]

y is my running anims all f-ed up? the hands r moving fwd/bwd at the same time as the legs, i dont have any anim mods or mods in general, how do i fix?

[surreal phoenix]

50 ng+ when?

[thorny crane]

Soon idk how long

[tough aspen]

Guys im a lil confused, does survivor sense work at all in nightmare? seems to not pick up shit

[south sparrow]

Whats the best source of getting more food for nightmare mode?

[tough aspen]

vendors first thing that comes to mind just buy it all

[rare musk]

Vendors and fridges

[south sparrow]

Ok probably, just time consuming since they only sell like 1 or 2 bits of food per refresh

[prime igloo]

And you best get dried meats. They give you 400 hunger points, the most.

[rare musk]

Agreed, im stocked on them

[prime igloo]

Also, why does drinks give you hunger?

[rare musk]

It does??

[prime igloo]

Yep.

200, the lowest amount. Still, they give hunger...

[surreal phoenix]

My guess is at least 2 weeks 😭

[prime igloo]

Eat the drinks.

[untold goblet]

Just me or anyone else miss that minimap from the first game , running for your life seeing those red markers run after you added to the intensity so well

[rare musk]

I mean, I suppose that’s helpful. Im stocked on those too, because I never used them lmao

[rare musk]

Oh I miss it forsure

[prime igloo]

I missed those sometimes.

[untold goblet]

I wonder why they didnt add it with the besst considering the map is handcrafted

[rare musk]

I was just talking about how I missed the random traders and lore-droppers at safe-zones

[untold goblet]

Yea those were nice too

[tough aspen]

can we all agree that survivor sense is pointless now?

[rare musk]

Along with the escorting encounters, like it’d make sense to escort someone to Town Hall

[prime igloo]

In nightmare, it's useless.

[rare musk]

Eh I think it still has a use imo, I use it to find my way around at night when I don’t have my light on. It’s “niche” but it’s handy

[tough aspen]

i want all the nightmare difficulty with regular survival sense 🙁

[rare musk]

Other than that yeah it’s useless lmao

[prime igloo]

I find it handy too with that, but that's it.

[prime igloo]

I rather for it to be useful, but nerfed instead.

[tough aspen]

guys im burning through batterys so damn fast lol

[rare musk]

I kind of like the experience of actually searching for my items so it being nerfed ain’t a huge deal to me, but it wouldn’t hurt for it to be useful again..

[rare musk]

Same lol

[thorny crane]

I wanna play other games but I also just wanna grind dltb so ye

[prime igloo]

I rather for it be an option. Like allow survivor sense to be disabled. But with it enabled in nightmare, it is nerfed, but not useless. Like needing to be closer and shit.

[rare musk]

That would be an awesome feature, honestly. Thats a good fix

[sick vale]

When do I unlock the hook

[strong pier]

I only use it to find quest items. Otherwise I don't use it.

[rare musk]

Early-midgame, cant tell you specifics though

[thorny crane]

When nightmare released I made more of a effort to stop using it to make the game feel better wish we could turn off all elements like the xray without mods

[lucid light]

I'm actually about to try a nightmare run, any advice before i get it started?

[rare musk]

Stock up on dried meats as they give you the most HP

for your hunger meter

[lucid light]

I'll raid the food trucks in Oldtown before i start the Ng+, thank you

[thorny crane]

I just drink water

[strong pier]

xray feels like cheating

[thorny crane]

I agree takes the fun out of the game what’s the point when you know where the enemy is so boring

[rare musk]

Ofc fam. Make sure you stock up on batteries and military medkits as well

[prime igloo]

Crane is secretly cheating in Dying Light on God.

[prime igloo]

Or legendary bandages.

[lucid light]

I have over 100 drinks, 90 dried meats, and im not joking: over 500 military medkits

[rare musk]

These as well, they’re more accessible lol

Damn i only have like.. twenty lmfao

[prime igloo]

Accessible and literally are just only a little worse.

[thorny crane]

I have 3 stacks so far

[prime igloo]

I still have a shitton of medkits. Don't remember the number since I've been CrossWorlding it.

[rare musk]

How’d you grind out your medkits? I need to start stocking

[thorny crane]

1 stack from crafting and others from grinding ng plus

[prime igloo]

Big convoys.

[lucid light]

I hit military convoys, specifically the ones near tunnels since they give 2 medkits at once sometimes

[thorny crane]

And ye my military med kits from convoys got like 900

[rare musk]

Alr bet

[lucid light]

oh worth mentioning: ill be starting ng+ 5 at level 300 for the nightmare run. so it'll be rough lol

[rare musk]

Dude I’d be stepping into my nightmare run at level 100 something and NG+4, I couldn’t imagine lol

[lucid light]

too late to change anything lol

[rare musk]

Godspeed my bro

[stark dew]

im on my first playthrough and my god these gunmen are so annoying

[spice swift]

What do you guys think makes the meat moss in volatile hives

[thorny crane]

Dead people

You can see rib cages and bones so either it’s voltiles or humans who get killed by them and they bring it back to the hive to feast

[spice swift]

So, leftovers?

Seems like the virus might make all the giblets ooze onto the walls

Sometimes I wonder if Techland has internally decided what the virus actually.. is

[thorny crane]

Ye I agree with this seems to be the virus similar to the dead island 2 flesh

[spice swift]

What is the source of that virus then?

[thorny crane]

No idea just think of it as voltile flesh

[spice swift]

As it is I tend to subscribe to the idea that the virus is some kind of alien organism

[untold goblet]

Really bummed they didnt add the military shovel in the beast, my favorite weapon from the series

Hopefully we get one in the future

[languid summit]

hello, i didnt follow patch notes for a while, is there new content since release?

[spice swift]

Legend Levels, New Game Plus.

[languid summit]

just that? or actual new stuff to do aswell?

[spice swift]

Nothing new per se no.

[languid summit]

aight cheers bud

🫶

[spice swift]

And AFAIK it's unclear if we can expect content or not

[languid summit]

how come?

[spice swift]

Well

The Beast was initially just a DLC for DL2

They might have started focusing on their next game already and the beast was just meant to tide us over

[languid summit]

uh oh

welp

expensive dlc for sure lmao

[spice swift]

They did scale it up

It's definitely a great game. I actually prefer it heavily over DL2 for many reasons

But part of me does wish that it'd been added to DL2

[languid summit]

they nailed the atmosphere

way closer to DL1

[spice swift]

I do miss Villedor sometimes but there's so much that I just don't like when it comes to DL2's gameplay like how it's so damn hard to get bandages

[languid summit]

• the shared coop progression is a big W

[spice swift]

And no beast mode

Despite them teasing it

[languid summit]

i still dont understand why they removed that in DL2, legit that was the only reason my friends didnt play DL2

[surreal pendant]

Ngl game got a whole lot less fun after making LL useless and the game feels like nothing changed

[languid summit]

oh you can cheese military medkits in the big skyscaper tower in the basement

you get like 5 or more each day

making bandages useless AF in DL2

they didnt heal good to begin with

[spice swift]

I do dig some parts of how Villedor's atmosphere were, and the music

But the world just didn't feel as grounded or real.

Like, the rooftop gardens and stuff

[languid summit]

i loved DL2, dont get me wrong im just picky complaining

current DL2 is like 20x better than it was on release

they did a great job on making it great

i also kinda digged the story even tho i dont give a fk about storys in general

[spice swift]

It.... didn't work quite as well as the other games for me, and apparently for a lot of other people too

I do like Aiden though.

[languid summit]

my go to theory is because, the expectations were just too damn high. After the masterpiece of DL1, everyone expected a similar product, but DL1 was its time ahead and a once in a decade game, so most people got disappointed

[spice swift]

I remember just losing myself to DL1 after getting it yeah

[languid summit]

what is LL?

[spice swift]

Legend Level

[languid summit]

ah

[spice swift]

Ah.. Part of me really misses the glider from 2 as well, but it'd be really limited in usefulness in Castor Woods

I'd absolutely love returning to a large urban environment for the next game

[languid summit]

we got beast transformation this time, pretty sure they will expand on it in the next and possibly final game

[thorny crane]

Yo what’s good gamers

[languid summit]

oh wait are spoilers still not allowed i nthis channel

[spice swift]

My one complaint is that I wish Kyle looked a lot more monstrous

I mean, Beast Mode is a selling point so if anyone thinks it's a spoiler they're stupid as hell

[languid summit]

they used to be hella strict in this channel

well i guess enough time passed

most ppl finished the story alrdy

[spice swift]

Yeah well

If something is in the first level + trailers and on the box it's not a spoiler and I'm prepared to die on that hill

[languid summit]

imo its their own fault

like, stay away from dying lght discord

if you want toa void spoilers lmao

its really simple

[spice swift]

I'd still put stuff beyond "you can go into Beast Mode" in the spoiler section to be courteous but

[thorny crane]

The rule is still in effect

[thorny crane]

Not really this is a place to talk without spoilers they have a channel for that reason

[spice swift]

"Play as Kyle Crane, a hero with the DNA of both man and beast. Freely switch between two playstyles and face a fierce conflict that lead to the acceptance of the monster within."

That's the steam page

You know, that actually makes it seem like Kyle turns into a werewolf

Now I wish he did.

Can we get a mod that makes him into a werewolf please?

[thorny crane]

Just roleplay no?

[spice swift]

No

The new skin in DL2 only shows me how badly I want it

My furry ass demands werewolves

[thorny crane]

Lmao

[spice swift]

And that's another thing - why aren't there more werewolf games

[hardy spoke]

Please keep any spoilers within https://discord.com/channels/289739584546275339/1397881101728481311

[rare musk]

Type shi bro, type shi

[rare musk]

The severe lack of werewolf games is unfathomable to me, it’s an untapped market fr

[spice swift]

Earthblood was mid as hell.

basically the only other werewolf game out there is.. fuckin' skyrim

[rare musk]

Yeah Earthblood was not what I was expecting.. the only other “werewolf” game I’ve played was The Wolf Among Us lmao

[spice swift]

And that one didn't have cool werewolves but shitty 70's sfx ones

[rare musk]

Eh I wouldn’t say shitty but maybe im a little biased lolol

[spice swift]

I want there to be a werewolf apocalypse game dammit

Dying Light but with Lycanthropy

[rare musk]

Brooo don’t get me excited for something that’ll never happen lmao

[little moon]

Sounds like Hunt: Showdown a bit

But that's an extraction shooter

[spice swift]

Hunt NEEDS a werewolf boss

[little moon]

Hunt has almost werewolves

[spice swift]

Who?

I can't think of any.

[little moon]

Only almost

There's a recent one that kiiinda looks like a werewolf

[spice swift]

Ah, the bear thingy?

[little moon]

Yerp

[little moon]

Well, there is a game that's literally called Werewolf: The Apocalypse

[spice swift]

Yeah, the video game that came out was mid

It was based off of a TTRPG

[little moon]

The Quarry also counts

That's a werewolf game

[spice swift]

Ehh. Not a whole lot of wolf in that were from what I'm seeing

[mystic hinge]

Hey all, wow checking the Week 10 challenge .. is the goals unrealistic or is the distance not being counted correctly?

[whole token]

unrealistic

TL didnt think at all with some of these goals

[south wind]

wheres quill

its been years

fr

[drowsy fjord]

Sup I missed the weapons of several weeks from the event, is there an option to get em, still I didn’t participate on the challenge ?

Like do I will get em all at the end of the event, or can I ask someone who got em all to just join my game, and drop the weapons on the floor, pick em up so I get the blueprint ?

[spice swift]

NG+8 let's go

[late minnow]

Guys can some on pc help me with a quest I tried doing nightmare on a new file and I ran out of food at a quest with no way of abandoning it

[thorny crane]

nice bro is catching me gotta get grinding

[late minnow]

it will only take like 10 minutes ma

max*

[thorny crane]

farm it what you doing man lol

oh wait your stuck

does your hunger go back when you die or na?

[late minnow]

Nope not food nor items or anything

I had like 20 food at the start but I got gunned down and lost it slowly

[covert lark]

Did anyone get the sword for last weeks challenge ?

[thorny crane]

rip

[covert lark]

I only got the car

[thorny crane]

no we failed it

[covert lark]

Ah wow

That’s sucks

What’s the new collage for tho sweep?

[thorny crane]

what

[covert lark]

Challenge*

[thorny crane]

grapple hook distance

[covert lark]

The grapple hook?

[thorny crane]

yes

[covert lark]

What do we do

Just swing around like a monkey lmfao

[thorny crane]

yes they are so behind thou at this rate they aint getting the truck skin

[covert lark]

Lmfao

I think last update killed the drive for the community

Ngl

[thorny crane]

na it made me want to grind more

[spice swift]

Still better than before we had NG+

[safe delta]

I’m gonna start investing in RAM holy shit

[whole token]

way too late for that

shouldve done it years ago

[acoustic vigil]

do you guys think there will be an xp change ?

I genuinely can’t tell if they just want ppl to level up way slower or if xp is not supposed to be working how it is currently

[near zodiac]

I hope so

[thorny crane]

no and tbh there shouldn't

[surreal wolf]

Just as Tolga and Fatin said about Crane

[quiet flint]

If you think they're op...don't use them. I don't get how this is such a hard thing to grasp. Give the player the option. It's always better to give the player the option then to remove one

[quiet flint]

I hope so

[thorny crane]

do you enjoy using uv bars?

[quiet flint]

I barely use them. Doesn't mean i want the option to do so removed

[thorny crane]

well im glad they removed the crafting

[quiet flint]

I'm pretty sure you're just a techland sleeper agent since you find all changes they make good, so yeah

[thorny crane]

if you asked people who like a challenge they would agree as well tbh and I wish I was a sleeper agent man

[quiet flint]

You can just not use them

The PK crossbow was busted on launch and made everything to easy, so I just didn't use it

[thorny crane]

thats what I did and still do

[quiet flint]

OK...how is this in any way a justification for not adding thr blueprint

You're just making my point

[thorny crane]

because they wanted a way to nerf them

[quiet flint]

Why would you want players to feel weak? Just make it so crafting them costs more resources, or reduce time they are active

[thorny crane]

they dont want players to spam throw uv bars when being fought by voltiles

and they did nerf them

[quiet flint]

I just don't get why player feeling or being strong is such a bad thing in a single player game

Like I said, increase the crafting costs

That's always better then just removing the entire blueprint

Dltb already has a severe lack of blueprints

[thorny crane]

it actually has a lot of blueprints weapons and many more

[quiet flint]

Also the uv bars is one of the most iconic thing in dl

[thorny crane]

I would have to disagree tbh

[quiet flint]

Yeah. Alright. Whatever you say

[quiet flint]

Yeah that's kinda your shtick I feel like

[thorny crane]

I know lovely aint it

[quiet flint]

Absolutely. You must be a very pleasant person to be around

[thorny crane]

I am I have good conversations with people once they get to know me

[quiet flint]

Sure you do

[thorny crane]

I just grind dltb a lot

[surreal wolf]

I think it really depends on how fast some level up. Though I have noticed many using exploits to level up faster then they complained about it. But even if they didn’t, leveling up too fast can make the experience a bit boring since you’ll be powerful early in the game. It’s a balance Techland seems to be trying. Having the survival apocalypse experience yet still want you to feel satisfy by slowly becoming powerful (without exploits). Or everyone play Nightmare mode no new game plus lol

[quiet flint]

Let's punish the entire community because a few people are exploiting the system. Seems totally reasonable. Also, one of the beasts selling point is being OP. The cover art is literally crane folding a volatile. Crane is supposed to be the definition of 'I'm not trapped in here with you. You are trapped in here with me.'

Also there is no justification for adding the diminishing returns mechanic

[thorny crane]

if you played dl2 you know how much they nerfed stuff like regen boosters the grapple hook the toughness booster they did it all the time idk why we acting like this is the first time

[devout dome]

Third 100% playthrough started now, let’s go 🔥

[thorny crane]

W man good stuff

[quiet flint]

I quit dl2 because of reasons like that. And I'm pretty sure it was very unpopular then as well

[thorny crane]

yes but people lived with it it wasnt like the world ended its just a game at the end of the day

[quiet flint]

Like, a lot of people complained especially about the grappling hook

[quiet flint]

Yes and it cost many players. Congrats

[thorny crane]

hm not really I get you a little players left but not that many did

[rancid kernel]

Give us the option to kill Olivia

[thorny crane]

oof not a fan I see

[quiet flint]

The fact that a non ingnorable amount left is already bad enough

[quiet flint]

I thought she was one of the better characters

[surreal wolf]

The problem was a lot of the community were doing exploits, so hence the big nerf. Personally I don’t care because I like escaping the chases more than fighting 15 volatiles coming from the mountains. And also sometimes lore doesn’t equal gameplay. It’s still a game and it’s Dying Light, so it’ll be a bit weird we can insta kill everyone. Plus it does kinda imply Crane doesn’t like using the Beast for variety of reasons, which also gives a good excuse for how the game works too

[surreal wolf]

No. She’s my emotional support scientist. Leave her alone

[quiet flint]

Again, punishing the masses for a few is just not a good strategy. Also, in dl1 you could already beat volatiles to death with your bare hands, and no one was complaining back then. Actually, it was really fun.

[gusty warren]

My feedback on their survey: cut the “make it more annoying” nonsense. Id rather be rewarded for fighting harder enemies than punished. Seems a stupid elden ring ish change that is not a good thing

[surreal wolf]

But not really too early that’s the thing and honestly I’ve seen more than a few attempting at exploits, which is one of the reasons why this nerf happened. In dl1, you still had to level up pretty greatly to even one shot a Volatile. That’s what I’m trying to get at.

Wait there’s friendly fire? Maybe it’s a good thing I don’t play multiplayer on this one lol

[quiet flint]

The thing is that in dl1 there was much more content. Also, most people who are high LL in dl1 is because of exp farms as well since the grind was insane

[bronze estuary]

🐢

[near zodiac]

It's a single player game at the end of the day and not competitive. Making things grindy for the sake of grind doesn't really make things fun. I understand the need to stop exploits I just I think they've swung too hard on the nerf bat.

[quiet flint]

Yes. Got griefed yesterday on the final Barron mission

[gusty warren]

Difficulty changes I don’t have a problem with, but changes that just make things more annoying I am all against

[quiet flint]

You get it

[thorny crane]

ye lol I like to troll some people when I join them

[quiet flint]

So you're a griefer

Is what you're saying

[surreal wolf]

Yes and no. Now it does, but back then it was just as bare bones as Beast when it first released. Everything we see now is all the aftermath

[thorny crane]

no lmao what I give them some rare stuff if they want when done because im not a mean person lmao

I only shoot them once with a pistol

[void pond]

😧 😧 😧

[surreal wolf]

Same with 2. But I’m sure Beast will get there soon because I need more fashion for Crane and give us Tolga and Fatin quest

The true based scientists of Dying Light

[quiet flint]

Point taken in that regard, but I'd argue the beast should never have been this barebones in the first place

[near zodiac]

Olivia isn't bad. She's no Jade though.

[quiet flint]

Jade can never be replaced

[surreal wolf]

Evil

[quiet flint]

Nah dl2 had more. Yes theres...a lot of parkour and combat challenges, but it still had way more to do

[thorny crane]

dont make me feel bad now 😭

I gave them items if they wanted

[velvet summit]

Of course she isn't a decomposed corpse

[surreal wolf]

2 is a bit different as they were going for more open world with more quests and actual choices, which is funny to consider because Crane still can’t say no for his own health. But Beast is a return to how 1 is but with 2 sprinkled in. Plus Techland didn’t have too much time with this game either, which sucks. But I appreciate what they got done with the main parts

[surreal wolf]

Chaotic evil

[thorny crane]

Lmao

[quiet flint]

I swear I wanted crane to be an edgey bastard so badly

[surreal wolf]

Or maybe chaotic good since you gave them items.

[quiet flint]

He's way to mentally stable and nice. He should be on the verge of being an asshole to everyone

[surreal wolf]

Crane is already edgy then he falls on his face of his own actions. He’s perfect

[quiet flint]

Nah man. Crane would not call anyone 'bossy', especially after they pointed a rifle at his face

I still want him to be a hero

Just while also being a monumental douchebag

[surreal wolf]

I wouldn’t say he’s mentally stable. He’s just not a raving lunatic like he’s a Malkavian. He’s dealing with a lot but we barely get to see it despite us controlling him, which was something I noticed with 1 and 2 and thought that was pretty neat because they’re still their own characters.

[quiet flint]

Again, he's way to stable for someone who escaped literal hell

Like, he doesn't deal with any of if. He's just crane but a bit more angry

Hell, Aiden can be more of a jerk in dl2

[surreal wolf]

He’s snarky and sometimes edgy loner boy, but still a good guy. He literally doesn’t say no to someone despite being big mad about it. Like my guy please learn to just to refuse

[quiet flint]

I think his interactions with Largo were near perfection

Like, the dripping sarcasm

I wanted more of that so badly

But no...he's still just...nice

[surreal wolf]

That’s kinda the point. He doesn’t because he’s too focused on revenge. Plus we need atleast someone still intact to play the game and deal with the Beast running amok

[quiet flint]

But the problem is his ptsd is basically nonexistent, and relegated to a, in my opinion, terrible side mission

I just don't like Benjamin at all

[surreal wolf]

Yeah, that interaction made me happy because I think it’s like the second time we see him go full sarcasm and being a straight jerk for a bit. I understand why he isn’t always like that but finally he decides to be more firm about his feelings.

[surreal wolf]

I’m doing said side mission and so far it’s interesting. Though I would say I always got a feeling what was happening wasn’t truly the best option for him, but probably the only one he can some closure. It did gave use a nice look into his own thoughts, especially about himself.

[near zodiac]

One of the best quests in the game imo

[gray jacinth]

who’s

[surreal wolf]

But I’m a deluded person who will probably write something on him one day and maybe get bullied by a French woman. I’m still figuring things out

[surreal wolf]

Crane’s

[gray jacinth]

idk what you smoking lmao

you can def tell its prominent

[quiet flint]

I don't smoke so

[gray jacinth]

did i reply to you?

[quiet flint]

Since I made the point I thought you did

[near zodiac]

Kyle is definitely more angry, standoffish and one track minded but this does mellow out from time to time. He's quite cold to Max at first for example.

[quiet flint]

My mistake

[surreal wolf]

I’m from the Warframe community as well. It has rotted my brain, so influences will be there. Also it’s called ✨whimsy✨

[gray jacinth]

that’d be why

[quiet flint]

I'm sorry, i just don't see being careful of some random who entered your safe zone to be standoffish

[gray jacinth]

i mean he lost a lot of humanity

[quiet flint]

In my opinion he should be someone who cares, but won't show that he does or hide it behind some pretense.

[surreal wolf]

Yeah I noticed that as well because I started to watch 8bitryan’s dying light 1 playthrough and I noticed just truly how different he is. It’s great and love it so much. I do love he hasn’t lost too much his sarcasm

[quiet flint]

S tier YouTuber choice

[near zodiac]

Yeah the change is definitely present when you go back to baby Kyle.

[surreal wolf]

He still is?? There are some dialogue when you go to his room in Town Hall where he does care despite his front and even in some quests as well

[gray jacinth]

Crane witnessed everyone he built relationships with die mostly in front of him. he also carries the weight of what happened after The Following.

[quiet flint]

I'm saying he's to openly caring

[surreal wolf]

He’s always been like that

[quiet flint]

That's the issue

[gray jacinth]

so he lost that side of him mostly

[quiet flint]

I think most people here don't truly understand what it means to be tortured for 15 years and watch all of your friends die

[surreal wolf]

Bro can’t even refuse a side quest to save his life. I like it because it’s like his quirk. Someone needs to shake him violently to make him realize he just say no to something he doesn’t like

[gray jacinth]

Aiden went through worse

imo

[quiet flint]

Both had an insane past, but i think Kyle takes the cake

[gray jacinth]

how lmao

[near zodiac]

The point is Kyle is a good person despite his mistakes and faults and everything that's happened to him. He's not perfect and that's fine.

[surreal wolf]

I find both equally bad. They both went through a lot of crap

[quiet flint]

15 years of brutal torture that makes deadspace look tame in comparison?

15 consecutive years of torture

[gray jacinth]

Crane worked for the GRE and had a stable life before Harran. all Aiden knew was infection and being experimented on and tortured

up until he was an adult lmao

[surreal wolf]

This entire game is tame compared to Dead Space. Main guy in Dead Space is actually insane and it’s because of a weird rock thing

[quiet flint]

He got out sooner then Kyle.

[near zodiac]

Sure they could have pushed the PTSD angle more but my reasoning is that he still had a goal to work towards and that kept him on track.

[quiet flint]

Way sooner

[gray jacinth]

dawg you realize being a child going through that is more traumatic than an adult

[quiet flint]

...there is no age to trauma. Speaking as a paramedic here

[surreal wolf]

It would be very interesting to see more, but I can also understand why due to some complications or it not able to fit into the game well enough

[quiet flint]

A journalist let himself be voluntary waterboarded for 20 seconds in a safe environment, and had long lasting trauma from that alone

20 seconds

Imagine 15 years

[gray jacinth]

i get that lol

Aiden endured childhood experimentation, constant isolation and probably lifelong trauma

[quiet flint]

I'm not denying Aidens pain. I'm saying that I think Kyle had it worse. But really, there's no reason to debate this since it's irrelevant and kinda weirde to discuss who got tortured worsw

[gray jacinth]

its not weird? if it is you’re making it that way. all im saying is as a child growing UP with all of that is worse in my opinion

[stark dew]

i just murdered my first volatile

[near zodiac]

Grats!

[stark dew]

those boys are mean as hell

[near zodiac]

I haven't killed one yet they hit hard

[gray jacinth]

fr

[quiet flint]

I'm just saying there's no reason to discuss it since it's irrelevant to my point. Weird was maybe the wrong word but...how would I even make it weird

[gray jacinth]

you guys said he went through worse so i put my input.

[quiet flint]

Point taken. And agree to disagree

[surreal wolf]

These are fictional characters at the end of the day as well, which I think is important to remember too

[gray jacinth]

i know lmao

[devout dome]

So the girl I've been romancing this whole time...she's....fictional...

[surreal wolf]

Yup and with the new alpha. I’m terrified

[gray jacinth]

bro what are we doing 😭

[quiet flint]

I think we are all very aware of that...

[gray jacinth]

yes we are

[devout dome]

speak for yourself...

😢

I really felt that love

[quiet flint]

Ffs

[gray jacinth]

its ok bro im here for you 🥀

[quiet flint]

Starkiller, is that you?

[surreal wolf]

I’m just saying because you guys are taking a bit serious

[gray jacinth]

im not though

i was stating a point lol.

[quiet flint]

We're just making arguments...

Like, engaging in conversation

[gray jacinth]

some people make it weird. idk

where’s my goat Spady

[heavy lark]

Dear anyone who has beaten nightmare mode: How on earth did you beat 2nd last mission?? Poor Cranes only got 2 medkits and a baseball bat to his name. Ik the bat is pretty standard for this mission, but the 2 medkits is insane, it feels like its demanding almost perfection from me. I've gotten super close several times but the healing always falls short 😢

I suppose I just wanna know if I'm the only one struggling with this specifically

[onyx magnet]

Bob and weave 😂

[tender moss]

It’s the harder challenge of nightmare in my opinion
I turn around the rock and hit him sometimes and use the Beast mode

[onyx magnet]

But yeah just dodge well enough and you’ll be good 🫡

[soft yoke]

Careful they tag me for spoilers mentioning a cave. This is way more then what I said earlier.

[heavy lark]

good call

I edited it hopefully thats better

Thx for the tips btw guys

[soft yoke]

This is where I worry I will struggle too.

[heavy lark]

I actually find beast mode to not help much, I usually get damaged alot when im in it

for this mission specifically

[soft yoke]

Lord we just now hit the goal we needed for the first day. It was always impossible but I think everyone just gave up totally.

[tender moss]

With baseball bat you can’t do more damage too, i use baseball bat for have beast and beast for hit him and have life 😉 but i turn around my rock and never stop 🤣

[peak dove]

revert the update it sucks i cant even kill a guard with 50 hits and im 250

only ng5

pls fix

[tender moss]

Your not 302 ? 🤣

[peak dove]

On my alt

[tender moss]

Nightmare is not that hard in NG+2 only aiden was a challenge

I play less since this update, the one shot miss me for exploration and egg’s chase

[acoustic vigil]

definitely should xp shouldn’t be a solely quest focused thing we should be getting better xp for zombies kills but that’s js my opinion

[tender moss]

It’s unfair to change that, the first idea was the best: xp farm if you like or NG+ if you like now you just have to use NG+

[acoustic vigil]

yeah they were definitely a bit heavy handed, it’s ridiculous that if I wanna hit max level after update I have to play the same quests i’ve played like 10 times over

[thorny crane]

thats your opinion I respect it we all have our own opinions about it

[acoustic vigil]

very true

[acoustic vigil]

like genuine question about how many new game pluses did it take for you to get lvl 300

or did you grind your levels before the update?

[tender moss]

That just make Level 300 more rare

[thorny crane]

1

[acoustic vigil]

damn

assuming this was before the change?

[thorny crane]

I grinded 10 hours straight for it

[acoustic vigil]

ah

[thorny crane]

yep

[acoustic vigil]

yeah and I can see why they’d do it

[tender moss]

In my first NG+1 I was LL 80 with all quest and challenge after I farm volatiles and don’t regret

[acoustic vigil]

I have a super bias look on this cuz in dying light 1 I basically exploited my way to max level fast and it almost feels like tradition

[clever iron]

Job Search | Indeed https://share.google/enwp2WcpySFZtjFvI

[thorny crane]

ye its meant to be a grind and take weeks not 10 hours like I did it lol

[thorny crane]

you have no idea the amount of times ive had this recommened to me by people lmao 😭

[bronze estuary]

I'm sad they made the church a non farm able spot now

Can't even stand up straight in the basement

[acoustic vigil]

there’s other spots but you literally don’t get xp after you kill like 4 volatiles

[bronze estuary]

Liked using that area because of the LL for beast mode, made it easier to kill them

[tender moss]

People need to really like this game now for reach 300 if you like playing other game you’ll never finish LL

[thorny crane]

im not even max in dl2 😭

shows how much i grind this game compared to other games like 1 and 2

[acoustic vigil]

yeah it was cool

[tender moss]

I stop playing DL2 at the NG+ update and was scared about DLTB I hâte NG+

[thorny crane]

lol

[tender moss]

But I beat 3 times the story in DLTB

[acoustic vigil]

I got max on dying light 1 when it was like peak

[tender moss]

🤣 I have other game to play

[ember harness]

Dude, they patched the river farm. 🤦‍♂️

[thorny crane]

thats fair

[thorny crane]

yes all methods are pretty much patched or less

[bronze estuary]

Can't have shit in Castor Woods

[ember harness]

Feels bad man

[strong condor]

I will never undestand people who use this to justify everything in any fictional media. Like "Who cares if the show/movie/book sucked. Is just a show/movie/book at the end of the day." Just because players "lived with it" doesnt mean the change they made wasn't bad.

[thorny crane]

I mean sure when they changed the grapple hook velocity in dl2 we all complained but then we stopped same with the booster nerfs so if the change was bad like those then surley they would still be complaining no?

[acoustic vigil]

nah some shit changes just stay shit changes that’s how you kill a game tho tbh

beat dying light 2 a few times never touched it again

[thorny crane]

what killed dl2 for me was removing stamina on cilmbing

[acoustic vigil]

honestly i’m not sure what killed it for me I think I just didn’t enjoy how far it strayed away from 1 and the following

win some lose some

[thorny crane]

dltb is so close to the following tbh

[acoustic vigil]

yeah I think that’s why i’m loving it as of recent

[bronze estuary]

Stopped playing it after my save file with 100+ hours got corrupted

[acoustic vigil]

rippp

i’d be pissed

[bronze estuary]

Then it got fixed on a update when I put another 80 hours on a dif save file

[near zodiac]

I'll play DL2 eventually but I'm more focused on 1 and TB

[bronze estuary]

I stopped liking 2 shortly there after

[acoustic vigil]

1 is an absolute masterpiece man

[near zodiac]

I just want to do 2 for the story I don't know if I'll put as much effort into it

[bronze estuary]

The parkour was amazing for the game but the story was bad

Probably another reason I stopped playing too

[acoustic vigil]

for 2 yeah?

[bronze estuary]

Yea

[acoustic vigil]

very true

[bronze estuary]

Meet new character, they die, repeat

[acoustic vigil]

weak story, nothing stuck with me in 2 like missions in DL1

i’m excited for that new final update they’re doing for 1

[bronze estuary]

I can still remember the lavender quest for 1 but barely half of the main quests in 2

[strong condor]

I wouldnt mind if you could make different choices or take different paths like DL2. I played 4 times with the 4 endings

[bronze estuary]

Somehow side missions for 1 had better writitng than main missions on 2

[acoustic vigil]

exactly it’s far too linear to play over and over and over just to get max

all for a Beaver

[bronze estuary]

It's the same thing with TB, I don't want to play the game 5 more times fully just to max my LL out

[acoustic vigil]

wait i’m slow that’s nightmare lmfao

[bronze estuary]

1 had a bad reputation cause of the drops but the xp reduction on TB doesn't help LL processing

[near zodiac]

Yeah I don't wanna kill my love for the game by grinding it.

[acoustic vigil]

what drops

[bronze estuary]

DRoPS

[acoustic vigil]

OHHH

[bronze estuary]

Yea

[acoustic vigil]

disaster reliefs?

[bronze estuary]

Yes

[near zodiac]

What are they doing? 👀

[acoustic vigil]

I loved the drops exploits icl

[bronze estuary]

I didn't exploit the LL I wanted to do it legitimately and it was boring

[acoustic vigil]

new textures, making everything look and run a lil nicer and remastering the music??? which is gonna be wild to see what they do

something else i’m sure but that’s just off the top of my head

[near zodiac]

Oh the graphics update is out already ^^

Looks nice.

It dropped in the summer.

[acoustic vigil]

hmmm well they might be doing another one then? or maybe i’m misunderstanding news I saw

[near zodiac]

I had no idea it even happened until I saw that it looked prettier than I remembered and found an article about it

[strong condor]

The thing is that is really hard to please all players. If half players hate a change and half love it, because we all are different people with different opinions, then is really hard to know what to do as a developer. Imagine working in this game and seeing people complaining about X and then people loving the same X. Poor guys tbh.

[acoustic vigil]

yeah u right I saw old news… dang kind of a buzzkill but i’ll check it out

how much prettier we talkin

[strong condor]

But I also kinda like that there are only 1 canon choice because that's what Crane would do and you have no control over it. And it works better for secuels. I wish there was a "middle ground" kinda like having canon choices but you can just play around just for fun being evil or just exploring "what ifs".

[acoustic vigil]

yeah definitely, I don’t have any issues with the story it’s just the leveling up that’s kinda shite in my opinion

then again

[strong condor]

In DL1 there where going to be choices too. Like delivering Jade to Rais, but it didn't made it in the end.

[acoustic vigil]

i’m naively hoping for a DLC to be added

i remember when they advertised DL2 to be like the most game changing choice filled game and then it just wasn’t

[thorny crane]

true

[glad inlet]

jesus christ the comparison between raytracing and no raytracing is huge, but its basically all just from global illumination

[strong condor]

Yeah is literally the definition of crazy to do the same thing over and over again xD. In some games is doable because different path choices. Im actually now playing a game for the third time doing different things and still having a lot of fun.

[strong condor]

Some people hate choices. A lot of people complain about having choices in DL2. Maybe they listen to them.

[strong condor]

Bro, my gpu doesn't support RT 😭

[velvet summit]

RT is nothing more than a scam in TB

[glad inlet]

posted screenshot comparison in the photomode channel

i gotta say, without raytraced global illumination, all indoor areas look like dogshit

raytraced shadows barely is noticable

reflections are noticable, but not nearly as impactful as raytraced global illumination

also holy shit someone in this discord, under techland....is actually playing avowed

ew.....

[strong condor]

They are getting inspired to make the next game 💀

Okno, actually I dont know anything of that game

[thorn mantle]

I like the "fast travel" in the game

Using the power line masts to ride through the land

[surreal wolf]

It’s a Pillars of Eternity spinoff. So far from my experience, it’s really fun and love the subversion of a voice in your guy’s head not being super evil

[glad inlet]

imagine if you took skyrim, and then took everything good about it away

like the interactive world for instance

all of the ai where the npc actually go about their day, remove that entirely so that in towns, npc's just stand still the whole time

there is no law system

add in a few abilities like elder scrolls online has, but keep the combat just as braindead

and you got avowed

[mellow escarp]

U reach 300 legend by grinding or keep playing ng+ to rank up ?

[glad inlet]

how the fuck do you find food?

granted i started the game on the hardest setting,but finding food is the single most difficult thing for me right now

also, when are we gonna get a dying light game ported to vr? perfect time to remake the original into a vr port. you could keep the graphics the same even. playing boneworks and bonelab is enough to get anyone excited for a dying light vr game

to be able to climb up a building, and just gently yank a zombies foot so they fall to their death....thats the sorta interactivity i dream of

[thorn mantle]

Most of the time food is in buildings which were used to sell food stuff

[glad inlet]

specifically stores?

cuz i havnt been finding shit in kitchens

[devout dome]

try fridges

[glad inlet]

been comin up empty lol

[devout dome]

or food trucks

[glad inlet]

if i can just get a handle on finding enough food and batteries, ill be fine

also, is it just me or does the main character have less parkour abilities than usual

[thorn mantle]

Stores, kitchens, restaurants, bigger safe zones

[glad inlet]

i just found out that the high jump is unlocked automatically yet the game doesnt even mention it

what abut the long jump?

[thorn mantle]

Or on top of the nate market where a little survivor camp is where 1-3 food things spawn

[thorn mantle]

Long jump is in the settings i guess

Or wait

In the settings you can change jump to normal or less height

[devout dome]

The game has like 90% of DL2's parkour skills

only ones missing are the double jump after safe landing or air taking down an enemy, extra jump when wallrunning up,

also the tackle grab is gone

[thorny crane]

seems now ng plus is the best way

[glad inlet]

lmao we got zombie titties

[glad inlet]

ew

im talkin about the ability from dl2 where you run and jump on anything basically and lauch yourself forward

the other ability lets you jump higher doing the same thing

[devout dome]

Thats in the game

that too

[glad inlet]

is it unlockable or already unlocked?

[devout dome]

I think it's already unlocked

[glad inlet]

i know the high jump is already unlocked, but the other one i cant figure out

still cant get over how badly they fucked up the bindings

another example of a company ignoring the pc

forcing you to use ALL your weapons as 1 button that you have to toggle through is insanity

[devout dome]

You can see how to use skills in the skill menu

[glad inlet]

instead of how it was with the previous games, where you could just bind 1, 2,3, and 4 to weapons 1 2 3 and 4

[devout dome]

click on Kyle's icon to see already unlocked skills from the start

[glad inlet]

same thing for food and healing items being forced into one button

its just laziness honestly, its not exactly hard to change if your the developer 🙁

easily could be knocked out in an afternoon

[ember harness]

How do I get this boulder off of the trap door at the edge of the map?

[glad inlet]

when your playing on the hardest setting this becomes alot more of an issue

[thorn mantle]

Beast mode

Unlock ability to throw stuff and turn beast

[glad inlet]

i havnt even got to use that ability and even i knew that

[ember harness]

Thanks

[glad inlet]

also wish they could finally sync up first person and third person animations

its basically impossible to get a screenshot of the characters weapon actually colliding with the enemy. if you go by the moment your attack lands, once you switch to photo mode your swing hasnt even begun yet!

[thorn mantle]

You know whats sad

No flashlight in photomode

[glad inlet]

WHAT

[thorn mantle]

Yes

[glad inlet]

so im guessing that also means you cant see another players flashlight then

[thorn mantle]

Yes

Or wait no

You see others flashlight

But not in photo

[glad inlet]

then.....they deliberately went out of their way to disable it

.......why?! did they get scared we could take really awesome screenshots like in dl2?

[thorn mantle]

Photomode only natural lights from Environment

No player flashlight

[glad inlet]

it worked in the previous game....

smh.....they made some really fucking dumb decisions this time around.

[thorn mantle]

I dont know how you guys even make night shots

[glad inlet]

i havnt even tried yet. i literally just started the game yesterday

[thorn mantle]

Its just pitch black or i have to change settings

[glad inlet]

i guess you gotta find a light source lol

[surreal wolf]

There is, but something weird happens with it. It gets pushed down at Crane’s feet like what happens in 2

[thorn mantle]

Wait what

[glad inlet]

i forgot about that

i remember having to position kyle in wierd ways to get those awesome dramatic shots

[surreal wolf]

Yeah, I usually try using the flashlight to help with lighting, but it always gets pushed down or gets stuck at his feet

[thorn mantle]

Oh now i see ir

Bruh

[surreal wolf]

Yeah, sometimes you gotta put in a weird spot for it to work or look really high up and it sometimes works

[ember harness]

Anyone know what to do at the crevice covered with vines you climb up to on the top of the map?

[surreal wolf]

I just wished we get a lighting option like Expedition 33 has

[glad inlet]

ill share a couple screenshot examples from dl2 in the beast photo area where i got creative with kyles placement to use the flashlight for dramatic lighting

also i forgot to add, the flashlight works differently than in first person

[surreal wolf]

It also works with uv flashlight too, but it also has the same problem lol

[haughty estuary]

im in the lure the chimera quest and cant start it cuz there are like 5 volatiles near the gas bomb 😭

and 10 hours till morning

how to disable night in the game

[surreal wolf]

Go to sleep

[glad inlet]

i posted a comparison in the photo mode area, does the same thing happen in the beast?

[haughty estuary]

ion play the game at night at all

[thorn mantle]

i found a setting to get "good" night shots

#📷︱beast-photomode

[thorn mantle]

thx

[surreal wolf]

Yeah, it does that and sometimes just disappears depending how your facing too. It gets pushed down or the lighting just becomes part of the environment lighting, which is weird but it is first person and that stuff do weird things

[glad inlet]

its like the flashlight beam gets alot narrower when you take the camera out of first person in photomode

its so surprising how out of sync the animations are with the first person ones

especially attacking, youd think they would be pretty damn exact but the moment of contact is way different, espeically when using 2 handed weapons

[surreal wolf]

Oh yeah, and I think in technicality it is like that but in order to actually work in gameplay they position differently and it’s used differently. I think in photo mode it reverts back to being part of the environment or how it actually is outside the first person

[glad inlet]

its definitely a totally different light

which sucks but if you get creative you can get some awesome results

[surreal wolf]

I just need lighting options tbh. Warframe’s captura spoiled me too much

[glad inlet]

i havnt messed with photomode much in the beast, i prolly wont nearly as much as i did in dl2 becuase my rtx 3080 cant really handle raytracing at smooth consistent framerates

[surreal wolf]

It has limited a lot of what I wanted to do so I rely on certain environment elements

[glad inlet]

also cyberpunk has an awesome photo mode

i wish more games would have a video editor like gta 4 and 5's editor on pc, ive had so much fun with that thing, its the only games i know of that lets you record raw gameplay data that lets you go back and view the footage from any angle

if they had one for this game....id make some incredible coop footage

[haughty estuary]

sigma

[glad inlet]

but im one of the wierdos that spends more time oogling the graphics than playing the game sometimes lol

[haughty estuary]

😎

🤫 🧏🏻

[surreal wolf]

Oh yeah, and Expedition 33’s new update photo mode is amazing too. I do think Dying Light 2 and Beast needs tweaking a bit. At best, a lighting option that orbits your character and you can scale however you want (like Warframe does) or a lighting sources or cones (like Expedition 33 does now)

[glad inlet]

also wish they would let you take photos in photomode where it enables raytracing JUST for the photo your about to take, like cyberpunk has

[haughty estuary]

dying light 2 gun system is so so so bad

[glad inlet]

that way you dont have to play the game with raytracing to at least take fancy raytraced screenshots

[haughty estuary]

i like the beast one way more

[surreal wolf]

I think in 2 guns were a later edition so they’re janky

[glad inlet]

its sad that dead island 2 sucked so much, its gore system was so fucking amazing

[surreal wolf]

Sadly there is no Hellbeast in 2 😔
My beloved shotgun

[glad inlet]

if this game had that gore system.....life would be better

dissapointing but expected that the gore in this game is exactly the same as the previous game, just with some better textures. they reuse pretty much all the same gore assetts

i set my game to open lobby and still havent had a single person join, must be alot less people playing on the hardest setting 🙁

[thorn mantle]

The flash light is passing through the volatiles

[drowsy fjord]

Any1?

[drowsy fjord]

Pls

[glad inlet]

do you have raytraced shadows on?

[thorn mantle]

No

[thorny crane]

I’d take dltbs physics and ragdolls over focusing so much on the gore like di2 did that’s where that game went wrong focused so much on gore that combat felt terrible

[glad inlet]

try that

[thorn mantle]

Only global illumination

[glad inlet]

the gore was the only good thing about it lol

ironically one of the best gore systems ever made

[thorn mantle]

insert prayer to the machine god for my 4080

[glad inlet]

but sadly the gameplay was just......uhg

it was so damn slow, and boring, felt terrible

[thorn mantle]

Okay now there is a shadow behind the volatile

[glad inlet]

but there was something satisfying about kicking someones ribcage out of their back lmao

[surreal wolf]

They’re ghosts

[glad inlet]

i had a feeling it would work like that

[thorn mantle]

And light on him

Yep it works

[surreal wolf]

When you bully it

[glad inlet]

i cant stand it when games have flashlights that clip through objects

MAH IMMERSHUN

[thorny crane]

Yep

[thorn mantle]

looks like kyle was smoking to much of the good stuff

[surreal wolf]

Lack of sleep too

[glad inlet]

meanwhile dying light series has the best first person zombie combat and parkour, but the gore system is practically ancient

even the original dead island has more advanced gore features than dying light the beast lol

[surreal wolf]

I feel like he really doesn’t get much sleep at all. Like he’s so sleep deprived, I wouldn’t be surprised he thinks there’s a Volatile in daylight and it’s just a weird tree

[glad inlet]

even that old ass game could alter meshes based on the force of your attack

sorta simulated flesh being knocked off the body

but it made each fucked up body look unique

instead of just copy pasta gore

[surreal wolf]

Beast does kinda do that too from what I’ve experienced but I do like it’s not over the top

[glad inlet]

i must do experiments to confirm

mwhahaha...meat experiments

ok that sounds different than what i intended

[surreal wolf]

I play on brutal so that could be the case too. I have to hit zombies a lot more

[glad inlet]

im on the hardest setting for my very first playthrough so i havnt tried the easier ones

it takes quite alot to put anything down

[surreal wolf]

And I use blades. I don’t like blunt weapons unless it’s against bigger enemies

[glad inlet]

my biggest issue is starvation and batterries

prolly cuz im on nightmare

[surreal wolf]

Crane is a big boy and batteries are so rare it’s kinda annoying because I need more for explosives

Rags feel rare sometimes because I swear I barely get them too

[glad inlet]

rare?!

good lord....

now i gotta make sure not to accidentally use them when crafting

[surreal wolf]

I’m on brutal too and I get 5 at most

I do like it because it’s forcing me to be more careful, but I’m dumb so there’s that

[glad inlet]

ive starved to death in the fucking home base

twice already....even the vendor just had 1 bag of fuckin chips

[surreal wolf]

I can’t wait to play nightmare then forget I need to feed Crane because he decided to be a Tamagotchi

[glad inlet]

thats why i play on hardest setting or the next hardest setting in games, if i dont, most of my brain shuts down becuase it isnt needed

[surreal wolf]

Crane in your game literally crawling on the floor for chips only to pass out

[glad inlet]

alot of peep end up ruining their own experience with games becuase they keep the difficulty on easy or the default despite having spent their entire lives gaming

those settings arent for people who actaully game as a main hobby

[thorn mantle]

If you need help with food lemme know

[glad inlet]

those settings are designed for...normies

[glad inlet]

yes

lol

[surreal wolf]

I play on hardest difficulty because I get bullied for playing on normal then I go “challenge accepted” and just suffer because I decided to play hard mode on my first playthrough. Worth it tho

[glad inlet]

neil patrick harris was summoned in my minds eye

[surreal wolf]

It gets harder when I’m playing other games as well

[glad inlet]

hahahaha... read that wrong

[surreal wolf]

Need those chips for yourself lol

But I have tried bullet jumping with Crane before and I was legitimately confused only to realize he isn’t a Warframe 😭

[glad inlet]

lol bullet jumping?

i never played warframe

[surreal wolf]

Warframe has a thing called bullet jumping where you slide and jump at the same time to basically fly through the air almost like a bullet

[glad inlet]

i know of it though, at first i was mixxing it up with titan fall in my head but i remember now

oh THAT

a movement glitch that was embraced as a real ability right?

[surreal wolf]

Yeah

[glad inlet]

i think i rmeember reading abut that

[surreal wolf]

It’s legit now (:

[glad inlet]

im an old fuck and i still remember how to exploit the physics of old quake engine based games like strafe jumping

[surreal wolf]

But I keep forgetting Crane isn’t a Warframe so I always die

[glad inlet]

muscle memory is hard to turn off

i have to use the same binding setup for nearly every game becuase of that lol

the older i get, the harder it is to adapt

[surreal wolf]

Yeah, I basically do it all the time that when it comes to other games I forget. The amount of times I’ve died as Aiden is embarrassing

[haughty estuary]

we need fent fold ability for the beast mode

[glad inlet]

ive been using this keyboard for so long, that my fingerprints are physically embedded in most of the keys on the left side

[haughty estuary]

basically u fold and u become invincible until it ends

u cant move tho

then u release fent roar and disable all enemies for 6-7s

[surreal wolf]

This sounds like the ball ability in Metroid to me

Idk why

[haughty estuary]

U like fent?

[surreal wolf]

I’m not sure what that is but the way you describe sounds like Samus’ ball ability to me

[glad inlet]

lol i posted an image of my keyboard for proof

[unborn scaffold]

i do

[haughty estuary]

thats 67

[unborn scaffold]

67 is retarted

[glad inlet]

i also used a mouse so long i wore a hole through the side

[unborn scaffold]

i beleive ive done that one

thats a beginning one right

[opaque seal]

NVM

I FIXED IT

[unborn scaffold]

oh ok

[surreal wolf]

It’s holding on for its dear life

[glad inlet]

that mouse still works perfectly btw

even the side button still works despite its literally just hanging there

meanwhile i paid over 300 bux for a pair of valve index vr controllers.....that lasted 2 months before joystick drift destroyed em

and a pair is basically one working controller....sigh

ps5 gamepad lasted about 6 months

official xbox one....bout 5 months

[unborn scaffold]

anyone wanna play pc steam?

[glad inlet]

well i got an open lobby but im playing on nightmare

and spending most my time in discord lmao

[thorn mantle]

Can i join

[peak dove]

lwk dont know what to do anymore

[thorn mantle]

Kill more stuff

[glad inlet]

sure

my name is the same on steam

[thorn mantle]

Aye

Mine is onkel kratos

Sent

[fathom scarab]

so i want the nightmare mode achievement and i also want the new game plus achievemtn do i have to make a new save since ive been playing the campain already in normal diffiuclty

[unborn scaffold]

Can someone give me rags

[stark turret]

I waited until I finished the run I was on at the time, before starting nightmare. I read somewhere that you need to do it without switching to another difficulty.

[thorn mantle]

@glad inlet feasting on volatiles

[devout dome]

You have to start a ng+ since you already played on normal difficulty

You get the nightmare mode achievement only if you play and beat the story on nightmare difficulty since the start without switching it

[wooden goblet]

I reached ng +7 and im 231 , is theres a faster way to get xp?

[stark turret]

231 at +7? I'm at 150 starting NG +4 😆
Would've been higher but I skipped some side missions on my nightmare run lol

[keen ginkgo]

do i need to play DL2 before this game? because i find DL2 pretty boring

[wooden goblet]

Idk if thats fast or slow

[stark turret]

Probably slow for me. I do all missions during each run, except the nightmare run at +3

[wooden goblet]

Oh thats slow

I just speed run the main quests

If i remember at ng+6 is 13x xp

[stark turret]

I figured it'd work out the same in the end. My runs take longer but more XP gained. Things like safe spots and substations are fast and easy XP. I figured I'd get to 300 but with less + runs needed.

[glad inlet]

FUCK

@thorn mantle my pc crashed with that same error again while playing

Now I gotta figure out which piece of hardware is actually dying on me, and I pray to all the powers that be that its not the cpu or gpu

Thank you so much for helping me out though!

[gray jacinth]

so what all happened to xp?

[thorn mantle]

Damn

[devout dome]

DL2's story is barely relevant in DLTB

you can skip it

[lethal herald]

Techland please add better camera angles in dltb 🙏🏼

[gray jacinth]

its very relevant but you can skip it lol

[glad inlet]

BTW do you not get big xp bonus for surviving through the night?

[thorn mantle]

Uhm good question

[glad inlet]

I thought that was what we were doing lol

[gray jacinth]

XP got nerfed heavy

[glad inlet]

Im assuming it doesn't becuase i didnt even level up once lol

Whats the point of going out at night if there is no xp bonus?!

Thats what made night runs so intense

[gray jacinth]

because of people exploiting the game

people cant just play normally and level normal

[glad inlet]

Then they should do a better job designing the game lol

[devout dome]

True.

[gray jacinth]

no, the player base needs to be more respectful for other players lol

[glad inlet]

Removing it entirely is the same as them saying "welp, we dont know how to fix this"

[gray jacinth]

there is an XP bonus at night. It’s just not much they nerfed the amount of XP you get

[thorn mantle]

i thought you wanted to walk through the night and i followed you

[glad inlet]

Another example of this is basically every elder scrolls title and every fallout made by bethesda lol

[thorn mantle]

[glad inlet]

Where they literally dont have any clue on how to design challenging but fair boss fights, or really any fights for that matter, so they let the player save as many times as they want an whenever they want, making every fight a matter of "when" and not "if" the player beats it

And im a huge elder scrolls and fallout fan lol

But there just isnt any ignoring they are TERRIBLE at that lol. Especially after playing dark souls an elden ring

[gray jacinth]

that’s an rpg

dying light is basically a fps parkour zombie game

[glad inlet]

Dying light series has always been a lite rpg

Same leveling system, dialogue choices, alternate endings ect.

[gray jacinth]

that leans into it

[brazen peak]

anyone on ps5

[gray jacinth]

but thats not the main genre is what i mean. you’re comparing a mmo rpg to a fps parkour game with some similar elements

[glad inlet]

Honestly didnt even know what quest I was on lol

Was too focused on finding food an batteries lol

[thorn mantle]

XD now you got food and a lil weapon

go my little crane and rip n tear

[gray jacinth]

and even then the problem is people glitching the absolute fuck outta the game before even reaching ng+

[glad inlet]

With the exception of elder scrolls online, they aren't even multiplayer lol

[gray jacinth]

its a role play game bruh

[glad inlet]

Thats up to the developer to fix.

[gray jacinth]

they did lol

no matter what people will whine over the smallest things. yall get a bug that ruins the game for other people and want it out but when they work around it you STILL find something to complain about

[wooden goblet]

Not much “ u dont even receive xp after killing volatiles , like 1 in 5 gives u xp

[glad inlet]

Much appreciated, just hope I can actually still play

[gray jacinth]

ik i said you do but it was nerfed

[glad inlet]

It didnt even give me a notification that I survived night time

[wooden goblet]

Nerf = lowering the xp u get

But u get 0

Thats not nerfing at this point

[gray jacinth]

you get xp bruh. it lowers the more you try to

[glad inlet]

Previous games youd know the second night time was over becuase it told you with a big message, and a sound effect, it was quite dramatic lol, also told you the amount of xp multiplier applied if I remember correctly

[wooden goblet]

Bruh yesterday i killed like 13 volatiles and only 2 of them gave me xp

[gray jacinth]

thats why

[glad inlet]

Yeah a nerf is when its lowered, if its zero then its just flat out removed lol

[gray jacinth]

you killed 13. can you not read?

[brazen peak]

anyone want to plzy co-op finaly got the games yesterday

[thorn mantle]

Yep

[thorn mantle]

Same

[wooden goblet]

Bruh didnt u say they nerfed the xp?

[glad inlet]

I mean your just arguing semantics at this point but if its how people use language then im siding with a nerf being a lowering of value not a complete removal

[gray jacinth]

i said they nerfed WAYS people exploited to get it

[wooden goblet]

.

[glad inlet]

Imagine if we all died instantly right now, and alien researchers were reading this convo a thousand years later

[gray jacinth]

.

[gray jacinth]

read

[glad inlet]

They would be like......they really cared that much about nothing!? This must be why their civilization collapsed!

[wooden goblet]

Ye but u said nerfed”

Not removing

[gray jacinth]

would you like an in depth explanation

[wooden goblet]

🤔

[gray jacinth]

you do get XP at night. I have footage to show when you kill enemies at night you get XP, but the amount of XP is lowered the more enemies you kill thus making it to where people cannot exploit to get it. Are you dense in the head or can you just not read?

would you like me to break it down even further for you?

[wooden goblet]

Sorry for this but are u slow by any chance ? I just told u i killed volatiles and i dont get xp

Is that hard to understand?

[gray jacinth]

you’re getting XP brother

that’s what I’m telling you

[wooden goblet]

Broski but the PROBLEM IS I DONT GET

[gray jacinth]

show me footage in dms

[wooden goblet]

I dont have a footage rn when i play i will send u

[gray jacinth]

no, because either techland hates tf outta you or you lying like a mf

[wooden goblet]

Why tf would i lie? I wouldn’t even bother to reach fking ng +7 if i get xp

[fresh merlin]

Can anyone help me out

[strong condor]

Bruh. I dont have much context but do you really think someone will lie just to bother you? He probably has a common bug that a LOT of players are having in wich you dont get NON XP.

[gray jacinth]

but that’s what he said it was completely removed

not a bug completely removed

[strong condor]

Does other sources like quests give you XP.?There is an ongoing bug that some people have that they cant get xp from multiple sources, including killing.

[wooden goblet]

I get xp from everything but not volatiles idk why i kill them and dont receive xp

Since the patch

Before everything was fine

[strong condor]

Well if you enter after a patch and see that. You may think is because it was intended and not a bug. How could he know? And from what I see, i may be wrong. He was actually asking if it was like that as intended. But you just can't believe him xD

[wooden goblet]

I just saw a vid on youtube it says after the patch some volatiles dont give u xp

[strong condor]

Wait do you receive NON XP from all volatiles or some of them gives you xp?

[wooden goblet]

I killed 13 and received xp only from 2

[gray jacinth]

not once said he asked he completely told me that he doesn’t get XP at all all I told him was that XP methods were patched because of people exploiting the game

[lucid fern]

Stop flexing bruh

[wooden goblet]

Wheres my xp from the 11?

I guess they lowered the xp

[gray jacinth]

patched due to people u s i n g e x p l o i t s

[lucid fern]

Do we goon to Kyle crane ?

[wooden goblet]

Officially im going insane

[gray jacinth]

at this point if you want a shit ton of XP, just do fucking missions, bro

[wooden goblet]

Thats whats im doing brochacho

[wooden goblet]

We do

[gray jacinth]

then why complain about no XP from killing volatiles

[lucid fern]

YES!

[lucid fern]

Thank you

[wooden goblet]

Cause im not repeating the main missions trillion times for 5-10 levels

[gray jacinth]

then I don’t know what to tell you wait until the bugs fixed
