[burnt mesa]

while on fire

getting shot

[spiral tulip]

guys

[thorny crane]

Mine fell of a roof and died when he hit the ground

[spiral tulip]

i just got the beast. im lvl 4. been fightin some stuff. anything ishould know? anything i should do?

im not doing many side quests as i figured i'd leave that for after the game is over. bad idea?

[cosmic sorrel]

Yeah so I’m gathering car, water,fire,explosions, or all for the alpha

[burnt mesa]

Do the side quests, level up, get stronger

[cosmic sorrel]

Yeah dl usually has worthwhile rewards and stories in their side quests

[real mauve]

Yea

[spiral tulip]

i know, i played the 1st and 2nd ones and tbh i was playing with hella mods in both through my first experience so i never needed the rewards and stuff lol

[real mauve]

U have to get level 13 for the end of the game otherwise youll be underpowered

Atleast 12

I beat mine at 9

[spiral tulip]

no way lol

yea idk maybe ill just do them before the final mission or something then. or whenever i feel powerless during missions and stuff. probably then

[real mauve]

Get to the level that the game quest says

Trust me it matters ALOT

[spiral tulip]

really? i was actually about to start a lvl 6 mission rn (im lvl 4)

[cosmic sorrel]

Doable

Your better than them remember that

[spiral tulip]

and bro.. no shot they removed fast travel in this one 😭 its actually killing me

[cosmic sorrel]

Huh?

[spiral tulip]

LOOOL bet 😂

[cosmic sorrel]

They removed what you removed

[spiral tulip]

oh did they not? do you just unlock it later?

[cosmic sorrel]

No it literally censored fast travel till I clicked on it just now

[spiral tulip]

oh LOL i didnt know if it was a spoiler or somethin so i went with it anyway

[cosmic sorrel]

Yeah it’s gone but it gives you a little more incentive to explore and take in what I think is a visually stunning game

[spiral tulip]

oh okay bet. cars are supplementary too though i guess

[cosmic sorrel]

Yeah and fun asf

[spiral tulip]

ive heard this game is short asf eh?

[cosmic sorrel]

It’s is a way shorter one than 2 not off 1 by a lot tho they just had a LOT more time to build on the og

[spiral tulip]

oh that sucks. i love the length (pause) that was on 2 tbh

[cosmic sorrel]

Haha

Yeah I liked that it was a bigger game too I was the part of the players that brushed off a lot of the issues cuz the substance was THERE

[spiral tulip]

yea tbh i played 2 before i played 1 so i honestly like 2 more than 1 😭 the melee only was absolutely peak ngl it was such a different style and everything. god i loved dl2 lol what a peak game

and yeah it was just so long bro 😭 soooo many side quests and random stuff blah blah it was goated for sure

[formal fog]

2 days for 40 million.

Doable?

[cosmic sorrel]

Yeah sometimes I think people hate on it a little much

[real mauve]

DLTB best one

[thorny crane]

if they keep doing what they doing then ye

[cosmic sorrel]

Yeah I love the beast

[spiral tulip]

yo can u buy fuel?

[pearl meteor]

I didn’t get any rewards this week and I swung on the grappling hook for over a hour

[untold goblet]

This week's challenge lasts until the 29th

[clever iron]

that hook challenge count went brazy

i wonder 🙄

105k is still insane

[untold goblet]

Paragilder would fit this game decently well

Wonder why they didnt add it ,Kyle could've totally crafted one lol

[untold goblet]

Yea could be them boosting it as the number was ridiculously high ,or we got lucky and a shit ton of people got the game over the last 2 days lol

[spiral tulip]

the paraglider bro 😭 DL2 was such a peak game oml im genuinely redownloading it and playing it again idgaf about the beast ill play it later 😭

wait can i take my save from ps5 and put it on PC?

[untold goblet]

I was addicted to dl2 when it dropped lol

[untold goblet]

I have no idea lol

[spiral tulip]

ill google it. but if not its fine ill just find some random maxed out 100% save and NG+ it

[misty arch]

Is it better to use the grappling hook during beast mode??

[untold goblet]

For traversal yea, quick asf

[misty arch]

I’m trying too add to the weekly challenge but not sure if using the hook in beast mode counts

[untold goblet]

Im pretty sure it does ,and if anything it should add more quickly too cause of the amount of ground youre able to cover

About to hit 71 mil

Nvm lol already at 71

[misty arch]

The counter sometimes goes up by 100k

[thorny crane]

its 200k every couple of mintues

[real mauve]

Did all my safe zones and power stations

[fossil crypt]

Yo does anybody wanna play i dont have friends to play with lol

[thorny crane]

#1414612841536950302

[thin vessel]

Ay, Merry Christmas

[real mauve]

Bros late

[thin vessel]

Better late than sorry

[untold goblet]

Damn 2 mil done in the last hour

Watch that shit stop at like 105 exactly lol

[inland zinc]

Does the shop reset still work

[clever iron]

Bro we need more vendors

Having only 2 is fucked

[storm prawn]

don't blame the vendors, what we really need is fast travel

[fast wing]

i don't think they're gonna add fast travel..

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LERiBFowkUM

[storm prawn]

then what ill do on the next ng+ is basically not clear any safe zones and just quit to menu load back in to travel between the two main hubs lol

[fast wing]

is it that boring to traverse around? atleast for me it's pretty fun

yeah, a bit long but if it's truly boring i just find a truck

[lucid pendant]

fast travel should be unlocked as a qol feature specifically for ng+

[storm prawn]

on my first playthrough i took screenshots of the entire map, and i went into every single building to loot it and look for safes etc, im basically done with the game, not even going to bother pushing for ng+10.

[thorny crane]

the game dont need fast travel lmao

[lucid pendant]

driving vehicles in a parkour game is boring

[fast wing]

Beast isn't focused on the parkour that much

more on exploration and driving, apparently

maybe with more updates more things to parkour on will be added

[lucid pendant]

driving is boring in a parkour game so they should add fast travel for new game plus players because outside old town the game just turns into a w key simulator

[clever iron]

Yeah

Its just like u can use hook on threes mostly

[lucid pendant]

yea

im not even using vehicles

[thorny crane]

and fast travel will get boring quicker

[lucid pendant]

bro fast travel is good for you it speeds up your journey to the 100th new game plus

🤣

[thorny crane]

no it doesnt and plus where would they put it?

[lucid pendant]

at least town hall and cave

[charred knoll]

do you know what else would be good?

uma musume collab

[thorny crane]

then what is the point of fast travel if it aint gonna get you to anywhere else

[lucid pendant]

cave means lydias cave bro

[charred knoll]

Yo these are spoilers

You said the name of a character that you should not name

[lucid pendant]

🤓

[charred knoll]

Nice selfie

You look nice with those glasses

[devout dome]

STOP SPOILING THE GAME BRO

oh fuck theres ice spice on my tv

[charred knoll]

Tell that to the citzen role

[hexed anvil]

replace cars with horses

[charred knoll]

Yes

[little moon]

Eewwww fast travel

The map is small enough to not fast travel

[devout dome]

Fr

not even DL1 had it

DL2 had way too much fast travelling

[queen hull]

nah I dont want fast travel

well we not beasting it enough 😛 with fast travel

[rare musk]

“Vehicular locomotion in a parkour game is boring so let’s remove all motion at all by adding fast travel”

[lucid pendant]

or just drive for 5 minutes however you like

its a boring design for a parkour game

[surreal wolf]

Fast travel in this would trivialize a lot of parkour, which I think you need to do to level up as well. It make sense why 2 had that because it’s huge and 1 only had the Tower and Old Town

[rare musk]

And so is “one click and you’re at your destination”

[devout dome]

we need different dropkick animations

one where your butt is facing bottom

and one where your butt faces the side

[charred knoll]

voltage kick does that

[tender moss]

I have to play more NG+ but I don’t want 🤣 since the new update and finish the nightmare mod I play less

I don’t really use new stuff i unlock, charms stats doesn’t count in my build stats not sure they work ?

[devout dome]

I barely play this game at all

[lucid pendant]

youd be right if 80% of the map werent just open fields

[stable nymph]

80% of DL2 is flat roofs with different heights and 0 item density. To me all the interiors are like a crack head scrapped the copper and metal alongside the wood. There should be way more things to parkour on and over on the roofs kinda like 1/TB

[zinc halo]

And possibly where you do a volt /flip after you've dropkicked.

[low rock]

hello can someone please help me with achievemt that you have to kill 100 enemies witth 3 players so i need 2 players to do that achievement

[stable nymph]

I think running to a wall and then doing a backflip off it and over an enemy to then get behind it for a backstab would be cool.

[real mauve]

What does accessories mean?

Is that the fire damage stuffs?

Or my weapon 24% more damage

[devout dome]

accessories are stuff like hats, gloves, glasses, masks, etc.

[real mauve]

?

Scavenger set give 24% more

Im confuse

[lethal herald]

dltb Parkour is good but it can be made better.... If the animations were faster, smoother, and the overall game got more fast paced, better camera angles,

[real mauve]

idk i will just use armor xd i get this armor farm more loots rags and stuff

[stable nymph]

Could’ve sworn accessories on some gear meant like the throwables. If I’m right usually you can see the increase in damage on stats to see if that item is being counted. I’ve only really ever looked at melee damage on gear.

[real mauve]

I want armor boost my weapons

Idk what armor is that? Maybe heavy?

[lapis mural]

It’s not trying to be fast paced like DL2 was and people didn’t like that. They went for a more grounded approach for the parkour and it works great, if you see a side by side of real life parkour and TB parkour it’s very similar.

[stable nymph]

There is gear that boosts 2h and also melee in general (basically for 1h)

[real mauve]

Yes that armor good

[real mauve]

I couple more questions can answer?

[stable nymph]

Sure. If I can.

[strong pier]

And 1.5h long weapon get bonus from 2h gears

[real mauve]

1. What armor is called that?
2. What is good 2h weapons?
3. Do have weapon in loadout slot give they boost?

[lapis mural]

Interesting I didnt know that

I always wondered if it did, never bothered asking because I don’t really use them

[stable nymph]

I figured anything with two hands to hold counter which is nice since it’s in the middle for some reason.

[real mauve]

anyone can answer

[strong pier]

you see on weapon dmg that it increases with 2h gear

[stable nymph]

I think survivor is the other melee one. Honestly any weapon that’s legendary or iconic is fine. It’s all personal taste tbh. I think stuff like the pole arm or the big bladed 2h swords can be really good.

[real mauve]

Ok survivor got it

+2% melee damage

Where it says 2h weapons more damage?

[bronze estuary]

Either a prefix on the weapon or use LL

[stable nymph]

Bruiser is the set for 2h/1.5 weapons. I’d say anything that requires you to hold it with 2 hands counts for bruiser. I just think survivor is good for one handed weapons. If you like stamina reduction for melee, parkourist set is also nice.

[bronze estuary]

Certain stuff will say like plus 25+ Parkour damage or sum shit

25% mb

[stable nymph]

Yeah sometimes I forget I can do this lol, it’s the accessories one that always leaves me confused

[real mauve]

Ye 3%

[crystal basin]

Yknow what, this game is my favorite

[real mauve]

So i can get 2h damage on my weapons?

I can stack 4 time?

Rn i have 4 weapon all give 33% more damage if throw

That mean i get 132% more throw damage?

[stable nymph]

There should be somewhere on your inventory that you can look for stats being affected by gear and you’ll see the per piece % added. But yeah I think the total is multiplied towards the certain stat you’re going for.

[bronze estuary]

No that's just for each dif weapon, if you want them to do more damage then just use LL on throwing

[real mauve]

So only 33% for that weapon? It no stack?

[bronze estuary]

Also techland boosted the community event again

[lethal herald]

💔... Yes i know, but they could start off by making the damn climbing speed faster, it's so slow and sluggish

[bronze estuary]

Yea

[real mauve]

Aww

What is LL means

[lethal herald]

Legend level

[real mauve]

Me not legend yet

Am 14 levels rn

[lethal herald]

Get to rank 15

[lethal herald]

One more and i think you'll unlock them

[lethal herald]

Slower than dl1 btw.

[lapis mural]

Personally I like the climbing speed, I prefer the grounded approach as well I wasn’t a fan of the super fast paced and floaty parkour of DL2. The one thing I wish would change is the climbing speed in beast mode. I feel like we should climb as fast as volatiles an virals rather than the regular climb speed, it’s faster to just jump over or use the grapple to get up where you need to go. But everyone’s different and feels differently some like the realistic climbing and some prefer the fast and floaty parkour of DL2.

[acoustic plume]

Hey

[lethal herald]

Im talking about DL1 btw.

Dl1 had the fastest climbing speed, faster animations, better camera angles

[lethal herald]

better camera angles make the game feel absolutely great, thats why dl1 is still so good to this day, because of the immersive and fun camera angles

[lapis mural]

DL1 is pretty slow and clunky though, haven’t played it in years maybe it changed over time but last I played it was definitely slow and clunky. All the parkour looks like shit and it’s more climbing than it is parkour. Maybe the speed of the climb is faster? I’m not sure I don’t necessarily remember

When I finished TB I wanted more DL so I bought DL2 again and instantly went back to TB, turns out I want more TB not DL 😅

[lethal herald]

Yes I can definitely see why you'd think but, But a few minutes ago, I booted up all 3 dl games, tested Parkour in them

Dltb is the most fun, It feels more responsive and impactful, it has decent speed, dl2 is good but still floaty, and the speed is Good, Dl1 focuses more on camera angles, and the climb speed (only the climb speed btw) is faster

[lethal herald]

Haha 😂, honestly I agree, dltb is so good

[lapis mural]

Yeah I can see that for sure

[lethal herald]

The combat , it's solid 10/10 tho

[strong pier]

I also like the more grounded slower parkour

[stable nymph]

A toggle for 2s speed and the beasts would be cool. The only option we get is lowered jump toggle but for some reason the other one is recommended as it says in settings but I really disagree on the description 😅I tried it and I didn’t feel like I noticed much. Wasn’t sure how close to 2 having lowered jump off was.

[lethal herald]

Me too, but the climbing speed... 😭

[bronze estuary]

Maybe they'll make a following dlc for TB

Would be nice

[stable nymph]

I just want my Kunai knife back like DL1, DL2 was ok with the speed boost but felt the 1 style encouraged full parkour and rewarded you with momentum

[onyx prairie]

Crane: Ah hell naw

[lethal herald]

It honestly breaks Parkour flow, like you're so fast, moving across rooftops, then you see a house/ building, you wanna scale it, and when you do it, it is so slow

[lethal herald]

Exactly

[stable nymph]

Probably the proudest moment ever was finally beating the damn tower to get Kunai in 1 🤣

[bronze estuary]

Yea they need to add the stuff from the challenge boards again, I miss the fenrir(think that's what the axe was called)

[lethal herald]

If the climbing speed is made faster in dltb, Better camera angles like DL1 are added to it, and some animations are solely made faster... It's gonna be perfect

Oh and one more thing... Y'all notice the green tint in dltb?

[stable nymph]

Yeah I’d love to see wasp and last hope back as throwbacks for sure. I do think we need parkour challenges back every game had them. I want Kunai to comeback and require gold for monument and church bell tower 😅

[lethal herald]

It's very prominent when raining... And honestly it doesn't look good

[bronze estuary]

I mean I didn't do much of 2's Parkour challenges since I played on launch and it was buggy, maybe the challenge board where it had weekly tasks, could give items instead of xp since it used to be agility and strength

[split fossil]

I hope this isn't the wrong place to ask, but does the ||Physical Damage|| legend skill also increase the beast mode damage?

[bronze estuary]

That's actually a good question

[lapis mural]

I don’t think so, that’s what the Beast damage skill is for, but maybe

[charred knoll]

No, there is literally an ability for beast mode damage 💔

[bronze estuary]

They're both using unnarmed so it wouldn't be to far too think that, just my opinion

Logical reason, not counting LL

[lethal herald]

https://youtu.be/2PfswdQstOM?si=VGA-fBZpYhTpDbbI

[stable nymph]

Yeah I think a lot of the challenges for me were pointless (the PUBG ones) since we didn’t have LL yet. So hopefully if we do get parkour challenges that it gives some special weapons and gear for parkour (I know parkourist exists) but I mean like increased beast mode climbing speed and regular speed if one wanted.

[strong pier]

I like the slower, more demanding climb. It's more realistic. I also have lower jump enabled

[bronze estuary]

I just want techland to give us more stuff to do for TB, LL and nightmare is fun right now but once people beat that then it's gonna be like Ray tracing and LL talk all over again, they should just make it so Jacob or one of the exiles can give you tasks or something like that

[stable nymph]

Yeah I’d be down with Jacob daily/weekly quests that aren’t super grindy but fun. Sheriff could as well but she’s like locked in her office pretty sure 🤣

[bronze estuary]

Doesn't she have a bulletin board outside it? Could just put up notes like how the requests were in DL1

[stable nymph]

I could be wrong but I think so. I was hoping they’d work like vendors in the tower/Jai do and going up to them to talk, but yeah them refreshing every day/night in game would be cool and that that require day or night only.

[bronze estuary]

Shit if it's going off the in-game day and night cycle then they'd have to make those very easy to do since it's only like a half hour for a full day to pass I think

[stable nymph]

Just mostly day ones and maybe 2 night ones or just their time only. I think completing them first would allow you to pick them up again in case you run out of time.

[crystal basin]

While I play the game, I notice my discord overlays a bit fudged up.
Could be because of the GPU usage.

[bronze estuary]

Yea that wouldn't be too bad of a implementation, cause the only way to get "DRoPS" would be like the coop lootpacks and ng+ packs, yea they give good stuff but even then it's just not the same as doing a challenge

[lethal herald]

Sacrificing fun for realism and sluggishness isn't nice to be honest... The climbing breaks Parkour flow

[vital vigil]

79M distance covered already

must be the wave of people who got the game for christmas??

the game had like 6k ccu just on steam yesterday alst i checked so

[lapis mural]

You gotta understand the game is smaller as a whole but it’s extremely refined. You can’t have super fast parkour on such a small map or you’d be done parkouring in 2 seconds. The fast parkour works for a map as big as Villedor but it just doesn’t on TB. TB is everything you know and love about the series compacted into a small high quality game. So yeah they want you to slow down and take everything in that’s kinda the point

[devout dome]

I agree the climbing needs to speed up a little

Maybe not vertical climbing but horizontal

[lapis mural]

Climbing speed in beast mode needs sped up but normal climbing speed is perfectly fine, it’s not enjoyable on DL2

Now that is something I can agree with, horizontal climbing speed could use a increase you do spend a lot of time going side to side and I think the game would benefit from having it go a little faster especially when climbing rocks

But going vertical feels good to me, it’s realistic and immersive your not running up the wall but your also not moving at a snails pace

[thorny crane]

Must be

[charred knoll]

Yeah its slow asf, I get "realism" but gameplay should come before that

[lapis mural]

It’s not though, it’s really not that slow I never once thought to myself “we should climb faster” in the 300 hours I’ve played the game. The only time I thought that was climbing in beast mode. And as I said if they make the climbing super fast you’d be done parkouring too fast and it wouldn’t feel good.

[devout dome]

Also I don't like when I press jump to climb higher, I sometimes do a normal climb as if I was moving up with my thumbstick

[charred knoll]

About that, the beast mode jump feels janky asf and too focused on going vertical, because when you jump in beast mode the horizzontal speed gets killed

[strong pier]

option as in DL2. but with faster parkour / and parkour as it is now option.

[lapis mural]

That’s what the grapple is for, should you go a bit farther when jumping? Sure I don’t see why not but then again I always jump and throw my grapple so it’s never been an issue. Everyone’s different and feels differently though so I’m not knocking anyone’s opinion I’m just saying I like the more immersive route TB goes.

[charred knoll]

Okay, thats right but it still feels really janky how a jump is almost completely vertical

Expecially during the sprint (Idk how the ability is called in beast mode)

[devout dome]

I wish we could go beast mode for the entire night and hunt Baron's men

[lapis mural]

Having options is always good, it’s easier to please everyone that way

[devout dome]

hide in trees and kill everyone from above

[lethal herald]

Hm... Honestly yeah, But the slow climbing does ruin the fun for me, Tbh it should be a toggle on/off option

[charred knoll]

Nice idea

[devout dome]

Stamina from climbing too

that actually should have been in nightmare mode

[lapis mural]

Never understood the hate for stamina while climbing, it’s way more realistic and makes you think before trying to scale something and makes you plan accordingly. Would be a nice addition for Nightmare mode. I remember having it on DL2 and logging on one day to find out it’s gone I was pretty disappointed. It was a good way to keep people from accessing areas they weren’t supposed to early on.

[charred knoll]

Yk what else would be a nice addition

[devout dome]

no

[charred knoll]

Uma musume collab

[devout dome]

[lapis mural]

There’s so many better choices of anime, you’ve chose an incredibly mid show to base your personality off of.

[charred knoll]

I wont interact with ragebait of that level

[lapis mural]

It’s literally just anime girls running 🤦🏻‍♂️

[charred knoll]

horse girls*

[strong pier]

Yes in DL2 we have assisted/ physical parkour

[charred knoll]

See, you didnt even watch it

[stable nymph]

My only issue was co op boxes never gave legacy or anything I got so many stelittos and seperators and the fencing sword, now the NG+ boxes give em and even convoys can. (idkn why encounters dont give them out of their crates)

but fun grindy quests that refresh after the day/night would be nice I guess we'll see whats next after this roadmap is done

[stable nymph]

I would like a toggle for sure. Surprised 2 didn't get one either lol.

[devout dome]

they shouldn't have removed that system at all

[bronze estuary]

I think they purposefully made it that way with encounters cause then it would make the loot scaling really redundant, cause then you could just run around doing encounters for easy loot instead of like the darkzones or hives, but I see what you're talking about tho

[devout dome]

should've made it so that the last inhibitor makes you not drain stamina from climbing and have a toggle for it

[crystal basin]

Its like I drive more better in first persen then in third person

[lapis mural]

Yeah it’s easier to be precise in first, it’s also more immersive I’ve tried 3rd i dont know how people do it, it’s boring to say the least.

[devout dome]

driving in 3rd person feels faster

and it's easier to know your UV light status and speed

[lapis mural]

You can see the speedometer in first, the only thing 1st is missing is seeing exactly what your UV is at but still it’s way better in first, driving in 3rd is boring as hell and to me looks slower. Drifting in 3rd also looks like ass but in looks good and feels good in Fpv. I get it to each their own but I’ll never understand driving in 3rd.

[lethal herald]

💔

Fun>realism

[lapis mural]

Your missing all the little details in 3rd that you can see and feel in first

[lapis mural]

Fortunately climbing stamina is both fun and realistic.

Best of both worlds tbh

Makes you think about climbing and makes you plan accordingly rather than just knowing your good no matter what. Often times realistic means more fun, not in every case because at the end of the day a game is a game and you want to be able to do stuff in a game you can’t in real life. But stamina while climbing just adds more to the parkour experience as a whole.

Made climbing something tall risky but rewarding when you climb it.

[modest harness]

Personally if there is another Dying Light I need a prequal about what first happened when the outbreak occurred and how people first reacted to it having charaters like Rahim Aldemir, Jade, even Rais (potentially) playable leading up to the first game hell even a game about Jade Alone I rekon could go hard.

[zinc halo]

They did set themselves up for a great opening for a 3rd installment in the series. Nuf said without spoiling nothing 🙂

[peak dove]

im pretty sure they would make a dying light 4

i saw a vid about a guy from techland responding to someone asking about dying light 4 and he said maybe

it should continue the beast ngl

about kyle and the GRE again or sum

[modest harness]

The beast is amazing (Still playing threw it) but I swear they missed potenial killing off Rahim was kinda pissed when they did he didnt derserve to go out like THAT I was like surely he isnt dead and it broke me seeing him like that...

[modest harness]

Maybe even a live action movie could be go hard about the 3 games in a trillorgy 4 games tho sounds abit too much...

[undone kiln]

Lmaoo 120 hours of game and just now I find the blaze mod????

It was literally hidden

[stable nymph]

Yeah besides XP there is no worth in lock picking the crates besides ammo which im full on and now im just not picking up anything ammo since I have 5k pistol and had 4k rifle now 2.8 due to just spraying it. It is nice to see convoys get the rare chance of legendary weapons. to me the crates work the same since both kinda have a cooldown

[stable nymph]

Jade is one where it was just getting good and she died mid way instead of the end to give him motivation for the cure. Techland loves to treat their side characters like this besides a few

[hot aurora]

Guys is dying light the beast good?

[velvet summit]

no

[lethal herald]

🤔... I see what you mean

[lethal herald]

no play fruit ninja instead

[hot aurora]

got it . am refunding the game rn

[velvet summit]

any ubisoft game is better than this one

[zinc halo]

Every interaction should consume / cost a different amount of stamina. That would balance the game in a good way because now every move needs consideration and that thought process makes for a fun time.

[jolly rune]

Level 301 in the beast saying that lol total hypocrite here

[velvet summit]

i never said it's in the beast

that's straight to pulled it outta my ass territory

[stark turret]

Did you lIke 1 and 2? If you did, you'll like the beast. Not as big of a game as 2 was though

[crystal basin]

Where can I get Car Repair kits?

[lethal herald]

I was joking btw 🙏🏼

It's a good game

[stable nymph]

There is a sidequest with a questline where beating the races gives you a blueprint should be out in one of the farming area's a crashed truck with a dude talking to the guy thats gone in the drivers seat

[charred knoll]

Its via a side quest, but I cant tell the name cuz its a spoiler

[velvet summit]

yes

[crystal basin]

Ah, Ive been doing that today

[stable nymph]

Yup

[charred knoll]

Read the rules of the channel

Using spoiler tag is useless

[crystal basin]

Sorry man..

[jaunty topaz]

agreed

[charred knoll]

Dw at worst you will get a warning, you are fine

Most likely they would let it slide tho

[jaunty topaz]

as long as you ain't an asshole abt it, we dont really care
we just delete it and tell you to not do it again

so dont spoil

[stable nymph]

I have not seen warnings given for spoilers in a long long time besides launch month lol I just gave the description so it would require them to still put in effort haha

[crystal basin]

Im very apologetic. So i constantly say sorry a lot

[jaunty topaz]

yeah ur good lol

[charred knoll]

Well, he apologized and learned the mistake so hes fine, dw homie you are good

[jaunty topaz]

warnings are only given for trolls and people who refuse to be decent humans about it

anyways, lets get back on topic

[stable nymph]

[crystal basin]

Im just happy I finally got the game, So I always ask questions here.

[charred knoll]

Good ending fr

[charred knoll]

Dont open any social media till you finish, its so easy to get spoilered, even if you search tutorials for something as little as finding a shovel, videos about the story might appear

[charred knoll]

Right

[crystal basin]

Yee oki, Ill take advice

[charred knoll]

Stay safe mate

[severe garnet]

Ever since i changed my tv and switched to ps5 pro the game is very flickery? Like every once in a while the whole world just disappears for a split second, is it an update issue or what can i do to minimize that effect?

[undone kiln]

Great, I'll have to do the expcalibur collectible all over again cuz the game didn't gave me the blueprint

[jagged raptor]

If you ps5 I can drop

[undone kiln]

Don't think it will award me the BP. I think they changed that

[jagged raptor]

It does

[undone kiln]

Add me up

[bronze estuary]

I personally just lockpick them cause I miss the chests from DL1, they could honestly add those back and I'm sure that would be a good update for the community atleast, plus then lockpicks would have a use outside of a convoy or a few story missions

[jagged raptor]

Add me ChxrlieJoe

[undone kiln]

Sent u

[jagged raptor]

I’ll inv you in 1 sec when I load in

[stable nymph]

I think auto lock picking needs to comeback for locks up to hard because thats why I tire of doing the crates knowing no rare chance of legendary vs the convoys I'd rather open those lol they are fun for sure. I think bringing back air drops like the pubg stuff could be fun like that quest and then when mid game they stop and then the crates on the ground are the ones left kinda like old town

[undone kiln]

Sure

[bronze estuary]

Honestly if techland just took like the looting aspect from DL1 and took some of the other loot aspects from DL2 and found someway to actually patch it into the game then it would make it more enjoyable, cause the dark zones are fun for maybe 5 hours but once you know every spot that has what you need it gets redundant, kinda why I miss old town ngl

[stable nymph]

Yeah old town crates were fun to lockpick open. Surprised the houses don't have them sometimes per chance. At least darkzones have volatiles now in some of them like 2, but I think more darkzones would be nice alongside hives since there is a lot of interior that can be opened.

[undone kiln]

Thx a lot. I even got some XP from ur mission lol

[stable nymph]

its mainly just backpacks and bags around dead NPC's or bandits you kill thats about it

[jagged raptor]

Yeah I’m xp boosting someone

[bronze estuary]

And the thing about the old town chests were they actually felt rewarding to unlock like the very hard gold ones, the hard convoy lockpicks are kinda like that but even then it just feels like a medium level kinda challenge, and the house in the town area with that secret safe room has those yellow crates you kick open, idk if that's techlands version of the chests but I'm tired of those

[stable nymph]

Yeah the crates in the houses in old town felt better then the cop cars and vans for sure. I know some of the old DL2 type wooden boxes are a thing but they're very little and just not good. I think how convoys work loot wise is how the rest of the game should be treated in some situations. Idkn why old town in the beast has nobody uses chests to store stuff lol

[bronze estuary]

Plus on nightmare mode the loot reduction hits hard to it would just be more beneficial to players if there was more loot or more loot sources, hell the virals on hard mode barely give anything so I just resorted to farming volatiles and even then that's iffy

[clear sigil]

have either of the dying light games had a christmas event?

[velvet summit]

they have currently

1 and 2

[proper vapor]

Yea dying light 1 and 2

[stable nymph]

I mean nightmare does feel rewarding idkn not sure how often legendary weapons spawn in other difficulties for convoys but it feels just right to have earned it on nightmare. Thankfully don't gotta do the vendor resetting anymore running back and forth. Im glad the trophy system is gone also felt really out of place and to me I don't mind what virals give. Alpha feels good to loot I'd say vs volatiles so I kill them if they annoy me lol and loop hives. Hopefully we get more places filled in for sure.

[untold goblet]

84 mil👀

[stable nymph]

Yeah they wanted to make it "count" properly lol

[real mauve]

@stable nymph i question sir

[oblique osprey]

Does this game not support UW ?

[real mauve]

Whats uw

[real sapphire]

is the beast worth it?

[oblique osprey]

Ultrawide

[karmic salmon]

how many people have completed the game on nightmare?

[stable nymph]

hmm

[real mauve]

I just unlock ng+ is farm night time kills good way level?

Maybe volatile idk

[velvet summit]

it does

atleast partially

[karmic salmon]

i got a good amount like 20,000 xp from the volatile hives

[real mauve]

Oo

Can you repeat hive?

[karmic salmon]

kinda

it turns grey when its dead, and when its back to blue its ready

[real mauve]

Okay okay good to know

[loud kettle]

No, you get incrementally less xp with each kill on zombies when you farm

[real mauve]

So to repeat xp do hive?

[loud kettle]

Yes

[real mauve]

Okay

How to kill volatiles :/

[stable nymph]

XP tuning has changed since some of it was over tuned when it launched imo biggest issue was church farming exploiters with volatiles. I think punished people who farm XP normally. It could be a better middle ground tbh. I didn't go out of my way to farm them and only them but back then story stuff, encounters and safe houses and sometimes farming volatiles if they caught me is how I hit 300. So I'd say farming what I said or hives to loop would be better.

[real mauve]

How much hp volatile legend 1 have

I swing my 2h weapon 2k damage like 8 times this thing still live

And it not alpha because its smaller and has gray armor not black

Should blunt or sharp weapon?

[stable nymph]

It depends on the scaling and difficulty per NG+. I'd say putting points into 2h skill, faster melee swinging and stamina upgrades would help. Though obviously as you level you will need to upgrade your weapon with you.

People say fire/electric is good for them. I mix them both in as mods. Can't really go wrong with both.

[real mauve]

I do fire and avalanche

Probably dumb idea idk

[thorny crane]

now why would you do that just play the game

thats also a exploit by techlands standerds

at that rate your gonna kill 5000 voltile hives to get max

[stable nymph]

Farming the hives omg how dare you do all the hives in a loop.

[real mauve]

I dont wanna do story 100+ times:/

I just wanna kill zombies:(

[karmic salmon]

what is the best stats to put legend levels into? i run 2h

[stable nymph]

I'd say use whatever I just think the legend skills I said and such will help. It's like that at first with the DL games on nightmare or with LL skills IMO. I mainly beast mode them though on nightmare.

[real mauve]

Nm barely give more xp

It like 10%

💔

So i rather story because i can get done faster

[stable nymph]

Pretty sure it does ontop of each NG+ completion. It's so you can hit the max area level each run and then maybeee end up 5 levels over the max. I'd also say wear the xp gear IF you want

[real mauve]

You always 23k xp for 300 level?

Xp increase?

[stable nymph]

They messed up xp at NG+ launch tbh I think it didn't need a severe nerf. So it caused a lot to go above each NG+ max level scale so people like me who are 300 by just playing doing the usual ended up having to do NG+ 10 until nightmare came to fix it lol

[thorny crane]

well ye that aint what techland wantedd

[snow yarrow]

So I found a book with skulls on it during a quest called dead beasts. But when I picked it up I didn’t see anything added to the inventory. What is it?

[velvet summit]

how dare you

put the book back

[stable nymph]

I found people on twitter who were mad they killed the church spot lol and complained they took away their power fantasy like...there is easier diffculties for that but also how was that method fun vs the other ways that don't involve sitting in a crawlspace?

[karmic salmon]

do i get more xp the higher diffuculty im on?

[real mauve]

So to level 300 i will have best the game 10 time??

[snow yarrow]

How do you put it back if it’s not in my inventory lol

[real mauve]

Beating game 10 times is not fun:/

The story not good enough repeat 10 times imo

Is good but is get boring after maybe 2-3 times yk

[stable nymph]

I mean by 300 and NG+ 10 on nightmare I'd say its a pretty good time I only beat it since I said the XP was overtuned for the area scaling, you don't have to beat it 10 times. Though you get a hat at the end for doing it lol so now that nightmare is a thing the scaling is better

[thorny crane]

ye boring I agree

[real mauve]

So how many time must i beat?

[stable nymph]

I was hoping I didn't have to rush NG+ 10 when it dropped but hey it is what it is

[stable nymph]

I mean XP goes higher each NG+ so its intended to be beaten at least 10 times at your own pace. We'll see if they find a better middle ground now that nightmare fixes what they had first planned

most people that play this game with a lot of hrs will have beaten the game 10 times so it just happens tbh

[real mauve]

So i only need beat 1 more time?

[stable nymph]

10 times. I think the way XP works now, and how each area when you look at the map has a different level with the one being the highest. Someone only doing NG+ once or twice I doubt will see 300 quickly.

[real mauve]

Ugh

Really? 10 freaking times?

[stable nymph]

Though people CAN hit 300 before the NG+10 it'll scale them if so

[real mauve]

The story take forever!

It take me 21h unlock all map:/

And do campaign

[stable nymph]

I mean I beat 1-2 about 10 times lol because the free roam stuff can kinda get boring ngl.

me and grotto amongest some others were beating main story and only main in like 2-3hrs

[real mauve]

Bro nightmare pointless

15% more xp😭

This buns xp boost what da heck

[stable nymph]

Explorer set and an XP charm. Will help increase that lol.

[real mauve]

Is better do story

Because u can definitely go faster

[thorny crane]

ye I got speedrunner blood in me

[real mauve]

why spend long time for only 15% xp boost fr

[stable nymph]

I think story stuff and encounters/safeplaces are the better XP. Farming infected just for LL xp Is not the way.

[stable nymph]

got that hot dog I mean dog in em lol

Honestly I can't remember it ever being the way to really level up in 1 and 2 at most was the GRE bosses and story/safehouse stuff.

[real mauve]

Bring back dl1 xp method

Or dl2 both good xp method👍

Playing story 10+ times is bad

And not even alternate ending atleast

Let volatile good xp 250 a kill fr

1000 xp alpha volatile

[stable nymph]

Tbh I just don't see it as a race. I've had 1 for 5yrs and I sit at 85LL lol I did 300 in 2 in about 700hrs.

[real mauve]

Bruh

U take 700 hour?

That is feel bad for you smh

[thorny crane]

760 hours on the game for me

[real mauve]

How did play story for 700 hours

Atp i just not even play

I would delete because boring game yk?

[safe pulsar]

That's the total time on the save file...

Not how long it took her/him

[real mauve]

He just is say took 700 hours wdym?

[safe pulsar]

Legend level. Not the story

[stable nymph]

I played periodically spread out for 2. I did 8hrs in 2022 but quit on PC since it was boring. Hell I even played 1 just as much. Didn't see the appeal. 2024 I cameback and beat 2 and then 1 and saw why people loved the franchise lol.

[snow yarrow]

Is there a reward for doing safe spots in game?

[velvet summit]

no

the game rewards you with nothing

i mean it gives you a safe zone

[stable nymph]

so I got like 200hrs on 1 and 700hrs on 2 and 500hrs on the beast, my hrs for 2 are only a lot since I did A LOT of side stuff. I probably beat the story 3-4 times?

[snow yarrow]

I head the dude radio it in and was told to head back for a reward or some shit idk

[velvet summit]

[burnt mesa]

Yes

[real mauve]

What i play with level 300 he give good xp?

[burnt mesa]

Stop trolling

[real mauve]

Like level 300 do side quest do i get lot of xp?

[stable nymph]

Just don't farm infected, do the usual map stuff you do (all story content and safe houses alongside encounters and XP gear/charm) and you should be leveling fine. Those give the bigger XP. They nerfed volatile farming.

[peak dove]

i feel like i have more but i only got 145 on the first

[stable nymph]

Yeah I really do wanna go back to 1 and finish the LL but I want to do it legit and not by any other means or 30hrs of stuffed turtle lol

but I usually do everything in 1 before beating main and just start all over again so thats why I don't mind doing it. TBH 1s LL grind is not for the weak at least it feels that way.

[thorny crane]

I want to do that but idk I would start by grinding prison and getting good gear

[stiff sedge]

At 2 over 1.150 hours and never ended first ng+

[peak dove]

yes its really hard

[burnt mesa]

I have more than 3.5k in both 1 and 2

each

[real mauve]

Bruh

Pain ngl

[thorny crane]

no need to flex on me that bad man how many in the beast?

[burnt mesa]

about 400 i think, maybe a little less

Beat it on nightmare and LL 300, not much reason to keep playing unless I want a baseball hat with a ten on it

[stable nymph]

I refuse to do prison as much or bozak I just prefer main map content ngl, my gear is really good as is.

[stable nymph]

You got this no worries and if not by then I'd imagine they will put it on par like 2s XP.

[stable nymph]

This is why John carried this weeks challenge he is an absolute unit.

[burnt mesa]

[stable nymph]

I also love the story stuff so I try not to rush it so thats why I don't outright grind LL in 1. If I did I'd never go back and I always want to comeback.

[oblique osprey]

Mmmm Olivia

Nomnomnom

[thorny crane]

at least I beat you in 1 game lol

[versed fox]

Im level 3 wanna boost to 300 in 30 seconds all resources and guns and weapons and ammunition

[burnt mesa]

so far

[versed fox]

Help me

[thorny crane]

prison just gives so much loot and I liked it

[thorny crane]

that aint possible grind the game a bit

[versed fox]

But can you help anyway

I will add you and errm you give me your resourses

[lapis mural]

Not possible on The Beast

You’ll have to complete NG+ runs, random encounters, safe zones and power/ water stations for XP

[thorny crane]

dawg I aint gonna give you my items 😭

[thorny crane]

and you ps not even pc lmao

[lapis mural]

Lmfao fr, I didn’t spend 300+ hours grinding to just give it away 😅

[thorny crane]

and Im not santa either lmao 😂

[versed fox]

Useles server bad people report ban hate you ruined my life

[burnt mesa]

agree

[devout dome]

Arcane

[thorny crane]

what I ruined your life? dude just grind a little

start with dark zones they give a lot of loot

[charred knoll]

What did I do?

[stiff sedge]

A bit stupid?

[charred knoll]

Clearly not a sigma

[stable nymph]

I should, maybe sometime, one thing I don't bother with is the pvp stuff don't care for it tbh

[thorny crane]

pvp was fun before they buffed the chainsaw ruining it and making it unbalanced

[charred knoll]

Lets not even talk about the chainsaw

[stable nymph]

I won't lie I don't think I ever paid attention to a chainsaw in dl1 lol

[charred knoll]

That thing is comparable to cheats I swear

You can destroy the nests in an insanely little amount of time

Tymon once said we will have btz in the beast

If that happens, DONT ADD THE FUCKING CHAINSAW 😭😭🙏

[sullen flame]

Ts the greed they talk abt in the bible😭🙏

[surreal phoenix]

gl with that

[charred knoll]

Scratch your elbow 3 times and close your eyes for 5 seconds
That will do it

[devout dome]

his greed will consume him

[sullen flame]

Greedy ass😭

[lapis mural]

They’ll need it 😅

[surreal phoenix]

fr 😭

[charred knoll]

Chat

This might be arcanelord

[surreal phoenix]

oh wait, yes

[sullen flame]

What

[surreal phoenix]

i forgot he exists

[waxen galleon]

did everyone just lock in right as the challenge is about to end

[charred knoll]

No, techland is giving us free points to make us get the legendary reward

[waxen galleon]

yeah i figured

[thorny crane]

No we getting boosted

[burnt mesa]

by me

[waxen galleon]

shoutout to you

[burnt mesa]

np

[charred knoll]

guys I was lying it was not techland giving us free points

[stable nymph]

I see this on the XBOX LFG channels on the xbox page all the time, please give me good weapons ermor erm your mutrials thxks (I say this with nerd glasses and spit) and I question if people play first at least before seeing they need some help lmao

[charred knoll]

Its all john's work

[burnt mesa]

yes

[charred knoll]

chuck norris of dying light

[waxen galleon]

john dying light

[dusty owl]

add crossplay!!

[charred knoll]

Mate, they wont add crossplay because you said that 🥀🥀

[dusty owl]

man

[surreal phoenix]

FR

[stable nymph]

So many peeps I could crossplay with and they'd see an increase in playerbase. I really think it just isn't in the cards money wise and tech. Maybe one day...

[karmic salmon]

What’s the xp modifier for legend levels on nightmare?

[bronze estuary]

I'm at a x10 for ng+ 4

[upbeat meteor]

Legend level 70

Nowhere near 300 smh

[karmic salmon]

How do you see what modifier you have?

[upbeat meteor]

I don’t think I’ll ever reach 300 unless they add new content

[lapis mural]

Only reason there’s no cross play is most likely due to mods on PC

[bronze estuary]

Hover over the LL icon

[upbeat meteor]

I’m hoping for DLC or new missions somehow

[bronze estuary]

It also says the multiplier for the difficulty too

[stable nymph]

I figured as much but at least consoles together and PC with PC.

[lapis mural]

Yeah kinda weird how Xbox and PS can’t play together.

[stable nymph]

I think playerbase for console could benefit from it a lot though I feel coding for PS5 and Xbox together would be a nightmare. Still they're alongside Tencent and I think they could do it but with how their road map and support is, that the biggest chance for that is DL4 if they do a new engine again and it wouldn't take away from the games content time.

[lapis mural]

Yeah absolutely I agree

[stable nymph]

Anything besides like RT or balanced FPS modes for like a Series S or RT for PS5 pro or XSX/base PS5 would be the farthest they go sadly

[uneven hinge]

just bought dying light the beast any tips when i load in?

[charred knoll]

Delete the game

[uneven hinge]

and why?

[charred knoll]

Because I said so

[uneven hinge]

well im saying no

[lapis mural]

Take your time to gather loot, stack up on heals, food and batteries because if you plan on doing a nightmare run you’ll need it.

[uneven hinge]

okay

is it better than dl2?

[burnt mesa]

funny guy

[charred knoll]

Yeah right

[near zodiac]

Take the game slow and enjoy it is my advice

[uneven hinge]

i got kinda bored of dl2 so thats why i got this

[lapis mural]

I like it better yeah, it’s a shorter and smaller experience but much higher quality

[uneven hinge]

okay

[near zodiac]

Explore everything, talk to everyone

[uneven hinge]

alr

i gotta wait an hour for it to download ;-;

i cant wait im too excited

[charred knoll]

Now to be fr

I have one big tip

[lapis mural]

lol I know how you feel, I pre ordered it and they didn’t let us pre download the game until last minute so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to play as soon as it went live but it all worked out, I hate anticipation 😅

[charred knoll]

DONT OPEN ANY SOCIAL MEDIA UNTIL YOU FINISH THE GAME

[uneven hinge]

thankfully i havent had dying light the beast on my fyp

[charred knoll]

Dont even search one thing and make sure you wont make dltb your fyp

[uneven hinge]

okay

[charred knoll]

No dying light at all

[uneven hinge]

if im stuck tho?

[charred knoll]

Good luck

You could ask help in #1414506546330603520 but dont search tutorials on yt because simply the thumbnails of the videos will spoiler you

[uneven hinge]

okay

thank you

[charred knoll]

Once I searched help with a mid-game mission and I saw a thumbnail with a really big spoiler

For obivious reasons, I wont tell it

[uneven hinge]

yea

is the story better than dl2?

[rare musk]

It seems like people are 50/50 on it

[charred knoll]

Man thats based completely off your tastes but if you want my opinion I find it kinda better

[uneven hinge]

cool

[rare musk]

Some like it better, some think it’s a game with American action movie writing lol

[uneven hinge]

lol

[devout dome]

It's better but shorter

[uneven hinge]

is there cars?

[devout dome]

Yes

[rare musk]

A truck, yes

[uneven hinge]

drivable?

[rare musk]

Yurp

[uneven hinge]

no dlc?

[rare musk]

The other cars and trucks you see, you can loot em for gas and such

[rare musk]

Not rn no

[devout dome]

No

[uneven hinge]

yay

im gonna try to convince my friends to get it

they already got dl2

[lapis mural]

Personally I love driving the trucks and going Tokyo drift behind the wheels, not everyone does tho 🥲

[charred knoll]

Yes, also there are skins for it
And additionally you can fit 4 people in the car

[uneven hinge]

oo

[devout dome]

there's also no paraglider

[uneven hinge]

yea but the map isnt that tall

from what ive heard

[charred knoll]

True

[devout dome]

It's the smallest map in the franchise

well it's bigger than old town

[uneven hinge]

is there atleast more than one map?

[lean pagoda]

Have they addressed the xp issues?

[devout dome]

No

[uneven hinge]

aw

[devout dome]

and there is really only one district with buildings everywhere

[charred knoll]

No, its actually the biggest after the countryside
Its just that other games had 2 maps making it "bigger" by adding up the size of two maps

[charred knoll]

Sadly yeah

[devout dome]

You also don't have a personal vehicle like in the following

you have to find vehicles scattered around the map

[charred knoll]

Yeah
You find cars around the map

[uneven hinge]

the following is banger tho

[devout dome]

and the cars are slower than the buggy in DL1

[lapis mural]

I don’t mind not having a personal vehicle I like being able to come across them as I go, leans into the survival feeling

[devout dome]

There's also no parkour challenges or combat challenges

[charred knoll]

But know that the folkowing had a buggy, this game has normal cars so you wont go at insane speeds

You cant upgrade the car

[devout dome]

only car racing challenges

[uneven hinge]

aw

[lapis mural]

Just car skins for now

[uneven hinge]

can u turn into like a volatile with crane?

[devout dome]

(theyre pretty mid imo)

[charred knoll]

Top speed without incline is around 50km/h

[charred knoll]

beast mode

[lapis mural]

Beast mode is what your talking about

[uneven hinge]

can u upgrade it?

[charred knoll]

Yes

[devout dome]

Yes

[lapis mural]

With LL yeah

[uneven hinge]

so like aidens fury mode but better?

[charred knoll]

Beast mode has its own skill three remember

[oblique osprey]

guys is it normal for my game to be blue?

[charred knoll]

What 😭😭😭

[oblique osprey]

i turned hdr off because in dark zones i literally cant see anything

and now my game went blue xD

[lapis mural]

Oh yeah it’s been so long I nearly forgot I’ve been max for awhile 😅

[oblique osprey]

downside of oleds blacks are literally black

[uneven hinge]

how do u get the skill points for beast mode?

[lapis mural]

Chimeras

[uneven hinge]

collectables?

[lapis mural]

You’ll see the game will explain it

[uneven hinge]

okay

[lapis mural]

No defeating chimeras which are pretty much bosses

[uneven hinge]

oo

[velvet mango]

Just beat Nightmare, solid experience, can be a pain if you get swarmed or picked off by snipers but pretty fun

[uneven hinge]

i think i should beat the game normaly first

[devout dome]

You earn beast mode skill points by playing the story

there's also alpha volatiles in the game which are exclusive to nightmare mode difficulty

[velvet mango]

Of course, I was just saying I just completed the Nightmare mode a few moments ago

[charred knoll]

Absolutely

[uneven hinge]

okay

[charred knoll]

Btw am I the only one who noticed that on the last update there was a global nerf of all armors?

[half grove]

Was talked about a little bit yesterday actually

[regal pawn]

wait how tf did we make a comeback for this weeks event

[rare musk]

Techland said “here damn” lol

[regal pawn]

nah cuz arent they on a break for holidays

[rare musk]

That is true yeah, but people are theorizing they’re throwing us a bone for some reason or another

[stable nymph]

Yeah the bone is actually counting the distance properly like swinging and tapping to go across gaps or up things lol anything after feels that with how its counting now is either boosted or the latter either way im not even mad maybe they saw how 1000s me cooked feedback with how looting and crafting ended up tracking wise

[peak talon]

Is there a good way to gain xp now that farming became kinda obsolete besides doing the story?

[rare musk]

Not really, you just gotta do the story and side quests and such lol

[junior falcon]

Playing at nighttime on a high difficulty while doing activities and missions

Things of that nature

[peak talon]

Yeah I guess

[regal panther]

Ngl I wasn't paying attention when the date of the end of the weeks event. We really gotten close this time.

[peak talon]

Damn I should've no lifed back then

[junior falcon]

Also you can equip the explorer set, xp charm, and NG+ xp hats to gain more

[regal panther]

Yeah and the fact you gotta pour 40+ hours (if you only tackle main story quests.) for a hat.

It's the equivalent of "I saved all of earth and got this lousy T-shirt

[junior falcon]

Pretty much

[peak talon]

They should've at least made the NG+ hats look cool

They literally just have the number on them 💀

[frigid stream]

its a black cap so das cool.

[junior falcon]

W take

[frigid stream]

I like black caps

[junior falcon]

Could’ve been like a mask or like anything else tbh

[regal panther]

Something to think about.
We are tasked of getting 22 rewards for a legendary reward for completing all of the challenges.

However we can still get the reward so long we collect 17 of the 22 rewards.
Assuming we miss this knife as well that's 3 missed rewards. Leaving us with 18 of 22. We would have to all lock in at AT LEAST get the truck decal to get 17 of 22 rewards. So we have this. Assuming the last challenge isn't as high a ask as this grapple challenge was.

(I'm assuming the legendary reward is the weapons we missed on plus something neat.

[rare musk]

I think we have it in the bag if Techland doesn’t pull some outrageous shit out

[junior falcon]

Just wish they didn’t miscalculate how many people use the grapple hook

[rare musk]

I dont think it’s they miscalculated how many people use it, i just don’t think they were tracking it properly

[regal panther]

However the last challenge pushes into January 7. That's 9 days.

[rare musk]

Because there’s NO way so little people use the grapple. It is the mode of transportation outside of the truck

[regal panther]

I don't use it.

[rare musk]

We got dis shit

[regal panther]

Like I only use it to grapple enemies to stomp.

[rare musk]

I don’t discredit that, im just saying i dont think the majority of players are like you and dont use it at all

[junior falcon]

Just proving my point 💀

[regal panther]

Like the only time I use it is under the bridge crossing the river

[rare musk]

Understandable lol I hate swimming those rivers

[devout dome]

grappling hook is my life and love

[regal panther]

Or as mentioned, to scorpion My enemies to me to stomp like a goomba.

[devout dome]

i religiously use the grappling hook

[junior falcon]

Agreed

[rare musk]

I love hooking spitters off high ground

[regal panther]

I only use the grapple in DL2 because the terrain was made in mind with it.

[rare musk]

So satisfying to see those fucks drop 20* feet

[regal panther]

There's not alot to grapple in the woods.

[devout dome]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa

splat

[stable nymph]

Considering what the 17/22 goal is from what people know I'd rather get the 20/22 to get the stinger and shanker we missed over another car skin as some legendary reward lol

[untold hill]

[stable nymph]

There is also stuff to grapple trees, cliff sides, the ground itself and also off buildings and across roofs, the grapple in 2 does the same thing lol the map size is not really a flex because the roofs were flat as hell on different heights and TBH should've been packed more with objects and such, its almost like running on flat ground in the beast.

[regal panther]

Unless we can pull 18,000,000 out of less than 24 hours and get the next two challenges.

[stable nymph]

I've seen how its counting now, it was just around 80 mil lol now 90 were on pace for the 29th

[regal panther]

NGL I didn't have hope to be honest with ya

[rare musk]

I have no idea why they didn’t implement what DL2 did with their survivor perks that you got when giving them territory, like I can see survivors building shit in the woods or literally anywhere else to make parkour easier

[half grove]

Yeah, we're sitting at 90.4 million right now and have until Monday lol

Nevermind, 90.62 million as it just went up again

[stable nymph]

mind you on the 29th it'll probably end as usual around 10am-11am EST which is enough time a day and a half

[regal panther]

Yeah I didn't see the dates I think tech land knew most people wouldn't play on the 25. So they pushed it a bit further

[devout dome]

why are there no ziplines in the forests

[rare musk]

Fucking seriously dude

[devout dome]

you guys know these zipline parks and shit in real life?

theyre usually in forests

[rare musk]

Especially with all of the mountains and hills and shit, it’s perfect for zip lines

[stable nymph]

I think its because this time we just gave us stuff to kinda jump pad off while not as much (thankfully I found them really stupid) but the ziplines are already added I'd imagine survivors/baron's men did it to traverse

I think the ziplines are the radio towers in a way?

[devout dome]

there are 2 way ziplines in old town

[rare musk]

Yeah, but I don’t go near those often enough to use em

[stable nymph]

I did until I didn't at first since somehow we had less distance covered then a car goal that was only at night with a tool used more then a car (not counting you since you don't use it besides head stomps) but for people who do alongside parkour lol

[stable nymph]

I don't much but they are fine to use at night I'd say lol

alphas can't climb the tower for some reason found this out since I had to get up to a baron sniper while he was below me then I got down and he spotted me, my dumbass forgot I could've used the lines lol

[regal panther]

I figured it did count to racing because your still traveling in the car so I did the ones that forces you into a night race

I did the one that will trigger a chase because the other night race has a 90° turn near a goon and the other has you plot your own route.

[stable nymph]

Yeah so its like how does a goal set so high because they knew the per day should've been on par decently did we almost end up at 14 mil with days to go missing out on two goals for a tool used for day/night cycle

[regal panther]

But this only has me wondering what the last challenge will be.

[stable nymph]

Thats why I don't mind how its properly counting or how it feels boosted now since its probably counting the distance swung and also pulled across the ground and gaps.

Not even I know and I've seen what youtube has lol

[wary cloak]

They boosted numbers? AGAIN? 😭

[regal pawn]

w techland 😈

[wary cloak]

Why can’t they just admit that they set expectations way too high and just give us the rewards

[regal pawn]

because buddy, it will make them look bad

[stable nymph]

or that they failed to count the distance correctly for a tool used more then a car and not locked to night like the car challenge cough cough either way they messed up lol

[crystal basin]

I did all sidequests!

Yippee!

[fresh dagger]

Anything worth coming back for? I stopped playing after I beat the game and all side missions. Shortly after release, fully maxed on everything and a lot of money. Haven’t seen if they changed much or added anything.

[regal pawn]

yes buddy hop on nightmare mode for a very scary fella 😈

[fresh dagger]

I’ll give it a shot was hoping for updates I know they take care of their game pretty consistently

[devout dome]

Aloha Volatiles are in the game

[stable nymph]

what in the Hawaii

[craggy pecan]

are they giving aloha vibes

[pliant tulip]

Is cross play ever coming to the game ?

[velvet summit]

probably not

[untold goblet]

92 mil lol ,at this rate itll be done by tonight

[spiral pawn]

I am literally only here to complain and ask, why, WHY does The Beast feel so unsatisfying?

Why is zombie vaulting tied to that awful sprint mechanic? Why can't I strafe sprint? Why is there no crane kick, only drop kick? Why is parkour so slow? Why can't I skip some rock climbing by jumping instead of being forced to do the slow mantle? Why do I feel like prey instead of a predator? Why is combat unbearably chunky and has absolutely no flow? Why? God, why?

[devout dome]

What do you mean crane kick

[spiral pawn]

In DL1 you can hop kick with one leg to stumble a zombie.

Small stamina cost, no animation commitment. Created flow and the ability to crowd control.

[devout dome]

The slide kick is also gone

where you slide and kick an enemy's ankle

[spiral pawn]

Sliding is gone period unless it's contextually available by sliding under something they want you to slide under

You can't just slide at will

They force you to slide under things.

[devout dome]

I slide at will

[spiral pawn]

Doesn't work for me. I press crouch while sprinting and he will only slide if there is something to slide under.

[devout dome]

That's very weird then

everyone is able to slide whenever they want to

[thorn moon]

a volatile either spawned mid-air and fell to it's death OR it ran off a building and fell to it's death (i didn't see what happened very well) then i got the achievement for killing a volatile, how sweet is that??

[spiral pawn]

I tested it pretty thoroughly. I can slide, if there's something that lets me parkour slide through it. I can't just slide through the streets while I'm sprinting. I definiotely tried.

[devout dome]

Something is wrong with your game

I don't know how this happens

[spiral pawn]

The worst thing is, that's not something that makes a huge difference for me. I shrugged it off.

[devout dome]

anyway the hop kick is valid

[spiral pawn]

During the forced rock climbing in the quests, there are multiple places you should reasonably be able to mantle-jump sideways and grab the ledge. You always fall. It forces you to do the slow sideways mantle.

Zombie vaulting being tied to sprinting WOULD be fine, if sprinting didn't cancel itself the instant I make the mistake of adjsuting my trajectory by tapping A or D

You can only turn while sprinting by moving the mouse

You cannot strafe by even a pixel or the sprint will cancel and you can't do any of the sprint-related parkour anymore

And can we address the fact that the grapple is 2m? 6 FEET. What??

I can get grappled by zombies too far for me to melee? And get forced into the QTE???

[safe pulsar]

Lmaoooo

[devout dome]

Yeah they should really speed up the horizontal climbing because it's alot faster in DL1 and DL2

in DLTB climbing sideways is just a chore

[spiral pawn]

And they force you to do so much of it.

[devout dome]

This is also the case in DL2

[spiral pawn]

If it wasn't shoehorned in to multiple quests it wouldn't be so frustrating

[spiral pawn]

Yeah I have issues with DL2 as well. ._.

I just don't understand how you take what was like a 90% perfect game with satisfying parkour and satisfying combat, and just... piece by piece, remove only the parts of the game that made it feel good.

Dying Light was a feeling.

The reason everyone loved it was because it felt good to play. It was highly satisfying in all its presented aspects.

They have been chasing a ghost since then.

[devout dome]

How do you feel about the Alpha Volatile design, grappling hook and the absence of paraglider?

[tardy stone]

just wondering should i have dl the beast on performance mode ps5

[spiral pawn]

Grappling hook was available in DL1 it was just an extremely lategame upgrade, and one that was fairly well balanced with its cooldown timer. I will admit that it tricked me into doing a lot of grappling, and skipped a lot of parkour, which is why I generally don't like adding it to parkour games...tricks you into skipping half the fun.

The paraglider was always awful for me. I absolutely hated it, and felt like it was a hamfisted attempt at conquering the verticality they wanted to include in DL2. There were more ways to do that that would've been more fun, like doubling down on the grappling hook and really web-swinging like spidey or something.

Alphas were in The Following which, tbh, I didn't like the DLC much for the first game but that's because...well there was no parkour and it was a lot of driving. I don't like driving in games very much.

But Alphas never bothered me.

TBH what I had really hoped for with "The Beast" (given that the implication for Kyle is that he is a true predator among infected), was a sort of Mirror's Edge combat style. Especially when they included wall kipping.

But can we attack off a wall run? No. You can jump off a wall run and do a drop kick, sure.

But that's... again, slow, chunky, unsatisfying, and almost exclusively a death wish in a group of zombies.

[devout dome]

You can do a kick after doing a horizontal wallrun

this is also in DL2

use the tic tac skill and hold the attack button

[spiral pawn]

gonna laugh when it doesnt have enough follow through/momentum mechanic to 'break their poise' and stumble them, and you get stumbled instead, which is like 80% of melee combat in The Beast

swing weapon, weapon bounce off zombie

get hit/grappled, try again. bounce.

ive never felt so forced-at-gunpoint to use power attacks.

oh and speaking of power attacks, a zombie gently swatting their hands at you 3 times is apparently an 'unblockable power attack, use dodge instead' even though it has no wind up and is basically an instant attack.

i wish i could have clipped it and posted it, 'apparently this is an unblockable power attack' it looked so pathetic, i mean with a limp wrist and everything

the last thing i wanna say to make myself feel better is that it is absolutely one of the worst feelings in the game for one of the baron's snipers to randomly spawn on a random roof with no nearby event while youre running towards a quest objective, and suddenly you see a red laser, and you have no cover to run to, and you just die in two shots.

the first time it happened i immediately ran back to that exact rooftop for a salty runback because I was pissed, and he wasn't even there.

It was literally a random one-off spawn with no blue exclamation point or anything. Just a random sniper on a random rooftop to try and make my life miserable.

And it has happened 3 times now.

[devout dome]

I was also confused by it

and when I tried to get there the game told me to go back to the mission point

[spiral pawn]

Confused?? I was absolutely livid

I have never 'raged' at a zombie game.

The Beast feels so unsatisfying, so victimizing, so awful that if I was playing with a controller I would've broken at least two by this point.

If the game had given me some kind of heads up like, 'hey the baron's men will be hunting for you and will randomly spawn because they are looking for you'

I would be more careful and play the game differently, but no, it's just "oh you hit this point in the main quest, now we just spawn men with guns in high places because f**k you."

No warning, just an arbitrary difficulty spike that feels unwarranted and unexplained

I just don't understand how Dying Light went from being the goat to being dogwater.

[velvet mango]

Just sounds like it isn't for you, and that's okay, not everything is for everyone

The snipers do irritate me at times, towards the endgame where they show up a lot more, I literally went through the game on Nightmare and the snipers just fried my brain, just very frustrating

[spiral pawn]

You're right. I bought the Beast because I was hoping to play Dying Light 1 with a fresh coat of paint, because Dying Light 1 was good.

You're right. Not everything is for everyone. I only like good things. I don't really like bad things.

But I get angry when a bad thing dresses up like a good thing and convinces me to spend money on it.

[velvet mango]

Okay

Not really sure what else to say to you, like I enjoy the Beast and I also enjoy good things, I understand you may not like the game, there are things with it that I am not a fan of, for me, I do really enjoy it

[spiral pawn]

There's nothing to say, I started this by saying I am only here to vent because I just had an experience so awful with the game about 45 mins ago that I needed to sit and complain about it

To make myself feel better

[velvet mango]

Ah okay, no worries at all

[spiral pawn]

The short version is that each sequel has been less satisfying, less enjoyable. Bit by bit, the parts they are removing and changing are the parts the made the game feel satisfying and have a good, enjoyable flow. Kyle is the weakest he has ever been, despite having access to beast mode. Combat is slow, chunky, and awful. Parkour feels punishing, tedious, and has no flow aside from the rare moments you're actually running across a roof.

I played DL2, DI2, and now TB, and I am like 99% sure I am not buying any more Techland games

Dead Island was great. Dying Light was great. Every sequel for every IP they own has suffered from the first iteration.

Not all of them were 'bad' but none of them were ever as good as the first game in the series, by orders of magnitude.

The sauce is missing. They are not cooking.

[crystal basin]

I maxxed my skills out :D

[rustic ermine]

i had like 450k Money and now I only have 1.2k

Idk what happened...

[radiant breach]

am I crazy or did they juice the grappling hook meter

[fallen ocean]

Is it odd for me to be playing 1 enjoying it

But 2 and beast it's little iffy as they are mostly complex but I really love all the 3 games

Im doing 1st game for the challenges and 2nd for the other

[devout dome]

first game just had something about it

It's hard to recreate

[fallen ocean]

Idk what it is.. it's like I can play for hours running around and kicking

It's a game I played since 2016

But 2 and beast I really like I still have them downloaded

[lucid light]

LOL

It's probably counting total distance traveled and not the initial grapple hook pull, because yeah that's insane growth

[spiral pawn]

@fallen ocean Not crazy at all. DL1 is the best one by far. Feels satisfying to play. DL2 is fine. TB is absolutely the most enraging game I have touched in the last 6 months.

Funny that you mention kicking in DL1 since they took away 2 kicks in DL2/TB (1 leg hop kick and slide kick)

[devout dome]

they also removed the tackle grab from DL2

and the double jump after safe landing or killing an enemy from above

also the extra hop up after wallrunning

and the ability to throw stuff behind your back when running

they also removed that crowd runner skill from DL2 but it was pretty pointless anyway since we already had the elbow charge skill

[velvet summit]

they removed my left nut

[devout dome]

[craggy moth]

Idk I’m playing the beast it feels awesome, story is better than 2 and overall gameplay is the best of all games. Super cool weapon mods, good parkour by default, good grapple mechanics, map is breathtaking. I’m a hater when it’s warranted but the beast is fire asf

[rustic ermine]

not only did I lose my money but I lost 15 legend levels too.. wtf?

Like, I lost multiple hours of progress wtf, probably a steam issue tho

[ripe relic]

Will the story strip away the strengths I get with Legend Levels? Like during Story Missions?

[tardy stone]

what is the hardest boss in dl the beast

mecha cyborg rais

[velvet mango]

Can confirm, the missiles from his stump is too OP, they need to nerf it

[fickle osprey]

woah a fella walking dead enjoyer

🥹

[rain trail]

Holy peak a fellow TWD player??

[velvet mango]

Indeed, I love the Series, it will always be my favourite

[fickle osprey]

season 1 was good but i think season 2 is my fav

[velvet mango]

I miss those days, simpler times

My favourite is The Final Season

[rain trail]

I know. Finishing the 2nd season soon

[velvet mango]

Nice one, which episode are you on?

[rain trail]

The final one

[velvet mango]

Have tissues nearby

[rain trail]

I almost used them up from crying

[velvet mango]

What are your thoughts on Season Two anyways?

I haven't played the Series since COVID, usually when I play it I don't want any distractions or anything, just one of those games that I want to give my full attention to

Maybe that's a New Year's resolution, play through the Series again

[unkempt arch]

DLTB here.

[fickle osprey]

i mean, we have to grow sooner or later

[unkempt arch]

Stay on topic or move to #⭐︱general

[analog valve]

Is the good vibrations mission broken?

[surreal pendant]

How tf we on 94 million

What in the Christmas miracle

[crystal basin]

Finished the story!

[surreal pendant]

Congrats

[crystal basin]

Whats next

[surreal pendant]

Nightmare mode

[half grove]

Was around 15 million end of the day Thursday, 31 million yesterday morning. Now we're here. 🙂

[crystal basin]

I started NG+ on Brutal

Cant believe I beated this game in 2 days

[agile silo]

Yea when your on it it’s pretty quick lol

[gleaming edge]

i can't stop playing dl3 😭 help

[crystal basin]

I did the side objectives too

[gleaming edge]

can't feel the same on dl1 tho

[crystal basin]

I brrrrt them all as a newbie

[gleaming edge]

how much ng+ have u done

[crystal basin]

One

[agile silo]

Nice, this ng+ im going to milk it and loot every single thing and roam the map

[gleaming edge]

if you can

try and loot as much uv bars

they're really rare

[hearty mirage]

Arw you the real 2d gorillaz

[crystal basin]

Imma focus on more crafting parts from the legend levels

[carmine thistle]

why do stealth kills still take your throwing knives?????????? ive never understood this feature

it makes stealth kills unreasonably impractical in the harder difficulties when equipment is rarer to come by, when really it should be much more viable due to the impracticality of facing enemies head on

in spite of all this, the animation doesnt show any reason for you to lose your throwing knife!

[velvet summit]

because kyle lost it

[gleaming edge]

its for faster finish

and personally i wouldn't use the same knife i stab someone with

for sanitization

[carmine thistle]

im aware, but that should just be a thing if you have any throwing knives on hand

[carmine thistle]

"for sanitization"

really?

[velvet summit]

yes

[gleaming edge]

yes bro

they're disgusting

[velvet summit]

kyle makes sure that the biters/enemies don't get an infection from cross contamination

[gleaming edge]

fr

can't u see, they always fent fold

[velvet summit]

you could say he's a good guy

[carmine thistle]

people cant turn if theyre dead

[velvet summit]

who said they're dead

they just take a small nap

[carmine thistle]

really?

[velvet summit]

next day they're fine

[carmine thistle]

next day theyre fine

wonderful

[crystal basin]

Is it good to focus on it first?

[gleaming edge]

wdym

like getting the rewards?

[velvet summit]

nah i think he's talking about the perk

[crystal basin]

Yeah, the legend perk that gives more crafting parts

[ripe relic]

What is the Bloody Bowie from?

[royal stag]

yo who tryn play

[misty arch]

Only 10 million to go, we will probably get it 🤣

free gift given if you logged in to the game after the NG+/Legend Level update launched. was available until Dec 2nd

I mean, they want people to go spam slurs in that Discord, which would be harassing them, or if it's a Server, it'd be so they can report each slur and get it shut down for hate speech

there's this amazing invention called Google...

thats right ... but i will not find interaction with u ppl there 🥲
