[deft brook]

Idk if anyones really talked about this yet, but I think it would be awesome if soulframe took inspirations for gw2's mount system for the mounts coming to soulframe.

For those who aren't familiar in gw2 the:

-Raptor mount jumps not high but far
-Rabbit mount jumps very high but not far
-Skimmer mount glides over bodies of water
-Wolf mount has a special teleport that goes through special portals in the game
-Gryphon mount is a gliding mount with a very cool and stylish trick system
-Skyscale mount flies but only to a certain altitude above your starting altitude

I don't care much if they decide to add flying mounts or not, but this system gives lots of creativity in map designs to make obstacles for using the specific mounts.

For anyone who has played gw2 the flying mount grind was a big feat and I do believe the way the skyscale mount was setup is a good flying mount where you can't fly infinitely skipping the whole world, but it definitely is a big upgrade and of course a flex for finishing the grind of getting it.

Soulframe takes alot of inspiration from really good game systems from other games and I haven't personally experienced a better mount system then gw2 mounts. If anyone else knows of a good mount system from other games please share.

[granite jacinth]

There are a channel for that no?

[deft brook]

idk sorry i didn't see one

maybe q and a?

sorry will put it in there

[granite jacinth]

Is it normal that motes disappear when u fight? Cause i saw one fought ennemies and now i cant motes the first tower for the name

[regal shadow]

you might've collected it without realising, otherwise motes shouldn't disappear in a fight afaik, try to replicate it and if it happens again, post your findings in https://discord.com/channels/998758139405029478/1438224825113120788 if no one else already reported the same thing

[dreamy canyon]

are there any tips to look for Arena in the Glades more efficiently?

[glossy tapir]

Ask for an endless taxi in chat

[verbal oracle]

Is there a way to tell when Werewalker is going to end so you make sure to attack?

[dreamy canyon]

I'm trying to find it to help them out 😄

[smoky crater]

keep track of the time by yourself, that's really all we can do atm.
base duration for it is 40 seconds + 2.4 seconds per point in Spirit

[verbal oracle]

Well, that is unfortunate.

[dark stream]

I hope the torque inquisitor’s armour will be unlockable

[lament seal]

here's hoping

[frozen ether]

probably not the right place to ask but what are people using to clip gameplay? i use steelseries but for some reason it wont detect soulframe so I'm unable to ALT + S to capture a clip if anyone knows how i could fix this?

[dark stream]

I personally use medal

[frozen ether]

is it working for soulframe?

[dark stream]

Yep

[frozen ether]

ok thankyou i guess ill have to start using medal

[dark stream]

Np

[ebon wraith]

nvidia app

[frozen ether]

it might be im about to test it on another game

If only I could make steelseries detective Soulframe somehow

Adding it manually doesn’t seem to work unless it’s because WASD inputs confusing the Alt + S

[frozen ether]

Does medal have any performance affect?

FPS

[dark stream]

Not that I know of

[lofty dune]

Are there meant to be explosives near the bisulcam in faction missions? It takes so long to hack them to bits with regular weapons, I was expecting to be able to blow them up like in story missions

[lament seal]

did you pick up a Thunderstone in a previous stage? if you interact with it up close with a thunderstone that does something iirc (been a while since I had a bisulcam mission)

[smoky crater]

only if there is a specific stage "Fetch a Thunderstone" actually having to go get one. otherwise it's all just weapons smackin at the bisulcams

[grizzled ocean]

back to back is wild

[turbid ridge]

Sometimes you'll pickup a thunderstone in a prior step and it will bug and not plant it, forcing you manually destroy it 🙈

Then you get surrounded by mobs dead set on staggering you

[gaunt grotto]

I feel like devs have been quite for awhile. Anyone know if there is a dev stream coming anytime soon or if I missed one since Decembers?

[turbid ridge]

Soulframe stream should be a week after the warframe dev stream. I believe warframe will be on the 30th

[smoky crater]

Warframe one's on the 23rd

so this week

[full hearth]

[tropic nacelle]

have you reclaimed all your history motes for POIs?

World trees also give some EXP towards level 17

[robust rover]

Any recommendations for which forum topic to send bug/screenshots to regarding the game the lil trader guy lets you play? Just started and learning the names/terms. Thank you!

[frigid spoke]

https://discord.com/channels/998758139405029478/1438224825113120788

[gilded jewel]

how to claim that

[tropic nacelle]

Q + M1

it's the floaty gold orbs in black smoke @gilded jewel

collecting them reveals the name for the POIs, like say "College of Pensives."

You can see how much you need to finish in your Journal with how many still have the mystery runes in their names.

[gilded jewel]

so that also give xp

[sonic adder]

i need them to add mounts and raids already

[tropic nacelle]

Yup

I got 2 whole levels by clearing my map that way

[unique timber]

Does just crafting armour give character xp ?

[frigid spoke]

no

weapons and pacts to 30, histories and trees, if I didn't miss any

[unique timber]

And just general game play like killing stuff, bosses and etc.. no xp for that?

[frigid spoke]

that gives exp to the weapons and pacts so yes and no

[unique timber]

Thanks:)

[frigid spoke]

aya

[uneven urchin]

I hear about ”the swamp” for the place to look for river pearls. The swamp is all the way in the northeast corner ye?

[tropic nacelle]

There’s 2 swamps, NE, and SW

Just swamp biomes in general I presume

[half talon]

Do not post inappropriate content here. If needed, please review the #server-rules

[tropic nacelle]

Honestly if I’m looking for pearls I tend to look up and down well…rivers.

[lavish vault]

Aw come on. It was just an innocent joke. But Ok.

[neat citrus]

it's a stretch for them to consider it rule-breaking, but it's discord after all

[lavish vault]

Yeah well... I mean, it's literally a line from the game...

[neat citrus]

indeed it is

[uneven urchin]

Imean sure it’s in the name of the item I’m looking for. But on average I find one pearl per river even after following the entire thing from mouth to coast

[frigid spoke]

Sub bosses can drop em also

[frozen ether]

what does this mean exactly?

is there different types of arrows ? confused

[smoky crater]

nope

you shoot the same arrows always, just flavour text for "embedded arrows" and "charged shots"

at the moment flavour text anyway who knows what they might do

[frozen ether]

arrows of birchwood deals more damage makes you think you need birchwood arrows

thats whats confused me

[real mural]

Whats the difference between Oscelda & Wyld Oscelda when it comes to pacts?

[smoky crater]

arrows only get embedded as quick shots, while charged shots explode and make the nearby embedded arrows explode along with it

[frozen ether]

arrows of camphor increase stagger, so does that just mean normal arrows increase stagger?

[smoky crater]

Wyld has slightly higher base virtue points, different ability visual effects and they share the upgrade tree so when you have both versions of the pact maxed, you get 60 points

[smoky crater]

yyyyyeah probably, either just any shot or charged shots. not sure if that one has a difference between the 2

[frozen ether]

hmm ok

[zenith widget]

someone know how to farm quassamer quartz

[real mural]

Thanks! I noticed they share the upgrade tree, but the Bond for Wyld (as I did not use it before) is 0, while regular is 12, to what degree does this affect my throughput?

[white void]

why is my whole screen on right

[smoky crater]

tap V

[white void]

thanks

[lament seal]

oh it's V in SF, I was wondering lol

[smoky crater]

the "bond" is just the pact level

[real mural]

Which does nothing for my power and is just a funni number?

I assume the "talent points" come from there

[smoky crater]

i honestly forget if pacts get stat specific upgrades from leveling up

yeah you get 1 pact upgrade point per level

[lament seal]

I do know you unlock each power and each power can rank up based solely on bond

[smoky crater]

yeah abilities go from rank 0 to rank 3 when you level up the pact

[lament seal]

so you probably would only have the plant and not the birds or rocks if you swap to Wyld for now until you unlock them again

[smoky crater]

yep

first ability is available from pact lvl 0, 2nd ability unlocks at pact lvl 5, 3rd at pact lvl 10

[real mural]

Thanks team, got it now

[white void]

question, i picked up some thunder something flower. it was purple rarity and i cant find it in inventory

or it was pettals

i found it here on floor

looked like canon ball on floor

[lament seal]

Might've been a Thunderstone, which is a quest item

[white void]

is it purple rarity?

and looks like bundle of pink grass

[white igloo]

Anyone got a funny build with the Split Flight Polearm Rune?

[tropic nacelle]

besides using Rat to maybe do lots of AoE damage, it's underwhelming

the projectiles from Splitflight are flat 20s

and they spread horizontally instead of circular grouping

[tropic nacelle]

I would use this build, but I prefer Torcheternal

the top left can be whatever you want, I just like more armor and stuff

[white igloo]

I just want something funny to use

[tropic nacelle]

Rat for AoE spread, Perfect Throws and attacks get more Smite chance, and Deer is for stagger defense.

There's not really anything "funny" you can make with builds as of right now.

you could slap on the Duck that slows enemy movements when hit by throws ig

[white igloo]

"Off meta build"

however you want to put it

So essentially:
Defense - Headlong
Offense - Sly
Misc - Drudger + Nimble

Right?

[tropic nacelle]

p much yeah, could swap Sly for Waddler if you want

or Headlong for Sly or Druger for different defense stats.

Drudger and Nimble just so you can keep spamming and hope to upkeep the Splitbolt rune for longer.

ah nvm, Waddler doesn't affect the projectiles made with Splitbolt, so Sly it is then

[blazing plinth]

omg guys ive been waiting for this game and somehow entirely missed that buying a pack would get you early access. ANYWAY im super stoked to play but immediatly i want to change up atleast the ability bindings for mouse and key. any recommendations?

some of the keybinds feel a litle awkward for mouse and key

if it matters im using the archer class

[smoky crater]

founders packs only became available with Preludes 12 in november iirc

i honestly just use default keybinds for mostly everything outside of spectral sight that i have on B.
helps having a 12 thumb button MMO mouse since i use all the buttons on that so

[visual radish]

Only key i rebound was the potion

Because the default is too far

[blazing plinth]

oh bet i have one of those ill try that out

[white igloo]

Uhhh, seems avakot.org is acting up

[frigid spoke]

They were doing server maintenance today.

[smoky crater]

uhhhh @whole owl

[white igloo]

Ah, didn't get that pop-up at all anywhere

[smoky crater]

oh welp

lol

[frigid spoke]

it's right there heh

[halcyon thicket]

Probably cause i used desktop version of opera on my phone

[rose apex]

is orengall armor set got removed in alca sparrow tales drops?

[smoky crater]

might be silent rose shop only

[tropic nacelle]

Could be

[frigid spoke]

I got my last piece yesterday from alca t3

[smoky crater]

[rose apex]

are you under silent rose right now?

[smoky crater]

yyyeap

[rose apex]

is there orengall set on the exchange shop on the enclave?

[smoky crater]

not ingame atm

[humble delta]

Do the white robed oden (healers) glow for a reason?

[smoky crater]

afaik, nope.
been a thing for a loooong time now.

still think it's a bug

[rose apex]

probably thats the time it heals the ally of the enemy that you damaged nearby? not sure

[smoky crater]

nah they glow even when dead even if they hadn't healed anything

[visual crystal]

Anyone needs access to preludes code?

[humble delta]

They continue to glow in spirit mode even when defeated. Probably a bug but thought might have something do with the pickpocket ability.

[rose apex]

you dont have access?

[visual crystal]

I mean, i have some codes left if anyone needs access

[modest oracle]

Heyy i would love a code!

do you get automatic access if you buy founders pack? 🙂

[humble delta]

yes

[modest oracle]

juicyy

[brazen sentinel]

Hey guys, where can I drop Quicksilver Blessed for Mora?

[short stump]

Is there a button to focus on enemies? I’m playing on controller and couldn’t find anything in settings?

[lean prawn]

Sadly no, the auto targeting is quite weird and glitchy. Blocking while aiming at an enemy should target that enemy but this isn't 100% in my experience. You will still often launch off at someone else or even at random crates etc

[open sail]

Stags or buy from kith faction for like 16500 rep.

[brazen sentinel]

What is the maximum reputation you can gain per day?

[analog peak]

I think 15k, but im not quite sure

[brazen sentinel]

thanks

[analog peak]

The faction grind is really painful imo.. Hope they buff the xp amount again and remove that daily cap

[lament seal]

it's 16k

it resets on midnight UTC, or 7pm EST

[violet coral]

do you have any more codes? If not no worries

[visual crystal]

Yes one sec

[severe epoch]

how do stag/king shares work?

[open sail]

Party up. Kill whatever. Someone else drops party and reinvites others. Rotate

1 kill becomes 3

As long as everyone’s boss timer is not already on cooldown

[severe epoch]

so as long as i havent killed the boss and be on cd im fine for a share?

[open sail]

yea

[brazen sentinel]

At what time does reputation reset?

[crimson flame]

@brazen sentinel 30 minutes

[tall geyser]

hello! any chance of having one more access code left? ^^

[visual crystal]

Yes ill dm you

#looking-for-group

[verbal oracle]

OK, I have been playing for 5/6 days. I got all the ancestors, did all the quest (bear, wolf, and stag), fully cleared the map (all the motes), got three starting pacts (and the three animal ones), and maxed a few weapons (working on more).

What would you recommend I do with my time in game? (I do max rep each day, and keep my keeps on CD) I'm not sure what else I should be doing.

[crimson flame]

Where can I find Beavers the best?

[raven basin]

I'm confused about something and need some clarification, If I craft Tethren bp that I purchased from syndicate, will it automatically grant me Medallion of Mora or not?

[crimson flame]

no

You need to get the medallion and the crafting material for it

[raven basin]

ok, so I can only get a "free" syndicate talisman if I choose tethren in rise, envoy right?

like a starting gear

[crimson flame]

yeah

Replaying does not affect it

[raven basin]

ok thanks mate

[lament seal]

every starter pact comes with a free syndicate talisman, just for different sindicates

darn

[raven basin]

acquiring wyld versions of the pacts will not grant us the standard versions, right?

[lament seal]

correct

[red kraken]

I believe there are improvements to auto targeting coming soon

[daring jacinth]

Good, b/c right now it's awful.

[gritty mesa]

any ever just lose Squad, Q&A and Recruitment chat? It is just a blank box now.

[daring jacinth]

Yes, itss a bug. You can either re-log or go into the eternium gardens then exit to fix.

[lament seal]

if you're next to Avakot, talking to them can also help

[gritty mesa]

well eternium didnt work on to the avakado

[red kraken]

I found another moist pal, MAY MAN

[gritty mesa]

nope didnt work either

[daring jacinth]

Welp, relog then,

[gritty mesa]

many a time already

and waited a whole day

[raven basin]

ok probably last question what does the ✨ (or something close lol) indicate beside the items? is it rarity? I can see some have one star then others have the 3 starts etc

[drifting cape]

for weapons and armor they mean something

[full hearth]

You can think of it as rarity. They tend to match Attunement Tier for weapons.

[drifting cape]

weapons the stars coorelate to yeah the attunement on weps

armor they dont mean much aside from better

and pacts it means nothing

like youll see triple star avakot pacts but that means nothing, theyre dupes

[lament seal]

that's just avakot scamming you out of your dracs obv

[drifting cape]

[lament seal]

classic used car salesman stuff

[lavish vault]

If you've played Warframe, it would be something like regular and prime

[still owl]

My guess is faction rep is rough because it’s the only end game right now. I wouldn’t doubt it’ll be easier when the game is further developed

[drifting cape]

im so glad region chat is still in

i know people trash warframe region but tbh. it just wouldnt be the same without it

are the seeds the only way to fast travel?

if i buy 1 of the founder bundles can i play right this second

[neat citrus]

yes

[lethal halo]

Is there way to increase the UI cursor speed? Adjusting my mouse sensitivity to aim has caused it to slow to a crawl.
There are UI Cursor Sensitivity(less is faster?)
UI Cursor Acceleration (More is faster?)
UI Cursor magnetism(doesn't matter for this?)

[neat citrus]

well once the game downloads at least

[round belfry]

is it fun
?

[neat citrus]

yes, I think so

[neat citrus]

you did this completely backwards
adjust your mouse DPI for UI usage, then scale your mouse sensitivity in-game accordingly

[lethal halo]

Aim was moving too far across screen. Clicked mouse button. Aim smoothed out.
The settings I am trying to adjust are for the moue cursor in UI

[neat citrus]

that mouse button you clicked was a DPI preset button most likely

[lethal halo]

Yea

[neat citrus]

yeah, so I gave you a solution

[lethal halo]

For to not stutter aim it's probably become more sensitive with the click

I followed the procedure you described, but in different words.

[neat citrus]

well best of luck with that

I don't really know what to tell ya

[lethal halo]

So very helpful of you. Are you the only person here who answers questions?

[neat citrus]

no smartass I am not, feel free to wait around and I'm sure someone will answer your very google-able question

[lethal halo]

This is how you treat other envoy?

[neat citrus]

this is how I treat people who are smartasses after being given help, which they ignored

[lethal halo]

Of course, you are right.

[neat citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-friends-morgan-freeman-true-gif-14543545972329601863

[lethal halo]

...
So I'm looking to see if there' s a .dll I can edit which will allow me to go beyond the range of speed for the cursor in the UI if any.

[idle crypt]

What's this for? Does it improve my skills or something else?

[velvet grail]

You can adjust your virtues and place points in them to benefit abilities and weapons with those attunements.

If you have a sword that is attuned to Courage, it'll scale damage off of your Courage stat.

[idle crypt]

No wonder my new sword can't deal enough damage, it was attuned to grace. Thank you so much

[lost pagoda]

Does quicksilver work properly? I noticed that the numbers still aren't adding up in the UI

[fallow arch]

courage = ability damage, spirit = ability duration and grace = ability range

if you have met a weapons attunement cap you might want to invest remaining points towards another stat

since my staff has an attunement cap of 27 I invested the rest into grace since I'm on wyld oscelda and the courage scaling is pretty bad but all 3 abilities benefit from range as well as duration

[south berry]

Will the thought tide items come back next Christmas or will they be entirely different in? These are kind of a one time FOMO thing.

?

[pine latch]

is there a limit for world bosses? been coming back every hour to mendicant king but its not there

[drifting cape]

nah i wouldnt worry

im 100% sure itll all be back

[drifting cape]

king is the 1 boss who is currently bugged

he sometimes has a 3 hour timer

[unreal roost]

Hey all, does anyone have any advice on premium currency? I got a little from buying one of the founders packs. Dunno how careful I should be. I bought a decent amount of inventory room... but wanted to rush a couple things for the fun of it

[drifting cape]

yeah. advice: dont rush things

other than that theres not much to spend it on. buy a holiday glyph and all the slots you think youll need. and save the rest

[fallow arch]

they come back

[drifting cape]

there will be plenty to spend them on later on

[pine latch]

ok thanks!

[unreal roost]

whats a holiday glyph lol

[drifting cape]

i forget what soulframe calls them

your profile picture

if you click on it itll come up with a list of them you can buy

[unreal roost]

oh I had no idea lol, thank you

[drifting cape]

you can also buy a pack of all the holiday ones from capitalism camel. idk why youd do that but you can

[unreal roost]

I guess they limited

may as well grab em, only 95 currency lol

[next fern]

Hello, I’m pretty new to the game. I was wondering: once you create a character, can you change it later or make a new one? I really want to remake my character to improve it, but I can’t find a new character slot. Is there a character slot available in this beta version?

[unreal roost]

you can replay from the journal the starting quest, and that allows you to change char

[drifting cape]

iirc next update, which is soon will have more customization for your char

dont wuote me on that, i think its next update

[neat night]

there's a devstrem next week I think

maybe they will annouce the prelude 13 then

[smoky crater]

On the 30th yes and if the update's ready, we might ger it on the same day

[neat night]

hmm, that will be "too fast" then, consider they just came back from a holiday break

but yeah, not gonna complain xD

[smoky crater]

Not like they havent worked on it only since getting back from holidays 👀

[neat night]

yeah, not gonna complain if the updating coming that fast

[craggy hazel]

how can i fast travel between the world trees? does it get unlocked or is it avalible all the time?

[neat night]

you have to unlock it with the bear quest

also it's limited because you need seeds to travel, and you caan only get a few per day

the best way to teleport is ask something to taxi you -> This doesn't have limit

but, be kind to the one who taxi u xD

[craggy hazel]

thanks for the answer ! i finished the bear quest.

how does the taxi thing work i always see it in chat

at the moment i try to get all of the fog of war away

[neat night]

for example, you wanna go to NE of the map

"LF Taxi NE." Then, if anyone wanna help, they will invite you to join them. Thanks, then leave. You will be teleported to their location after joining them

[craggy hazel]

aaaah okay thanks a lot

[tired sail]

People wanting a squad invite to warp to the host's location. There's usually a 5 river pearl fee.

[neat night]

nani

[lean prawn]

Really nothing to spend it on but slots. Don't bother rushing a craft. Just craft stuff before you go to bed and it'll be waiting in a morning or two. Nothing in the game so pressing you need it right now.

[elder roost]

Try replaying the beginning scene can change your skin color etc there again it seems

[lunar eagle]

Anyone know by chance when the full release date is? This year or

[sullen galleon]

So I tried this game for about 2 weeks about 2 months ago, and I just found it so hard to get into, i don't get what I'm supposed to be doing with the faction things, I got a pact but I can't use it because I have to craft it but river pearls are basically impossible to find, so I can't make it. I'm still in base gear with the same 3 spells I got that i don't really like. I want to play, to get stuff but it just seems unintuitive. Stuff doesn't have a specific way to get it it's just good luck finding some. River pearls by the river? Nope.

[vagrant kayak]

No release date yet, I would not expect the full release this year

[vagrant kayak]

It's still in pre-alpha so a lot of in-game direction is sadly missing still. River Pearls do drop by rivers but can be rare, stronger enemies and rare chests also drop them

[high galleon]

Can sometimes get the river pearls from the little Alca vendor.

[swift jolt]

When does the smoke remove from the map????

[high galleon]

Need to find a world tree and interact with it

[swift jolt]

okay thanks i'll look out for those

[high galleon]

I think there are 16 Trees total? I could be wrong

[elder roost]

Don;t know but i hope they keep cooking on whatever they do and don’t rush. Cause they are doing a good job giving back it seems.

[elder roost]

So how your bird. Follow where it goes iniitially for main quests stuff. If you see a tree interact unlock fog. Stick to those… eventually you will get a faction that are repeatable missions gloss over those until you get all yoru ancestors in that place you teleport too. Im new too and figuring it all out

[swift jolt]

is there any indication of how they look? i think that should be implemented int he beginning as a part of the tutorial... unless i completely missed it

[elder roost]

Yea like a old thick tree from Zelda with a trident looking spear sticking out of it glowing

[elder roost]

Game is fun multiplayer too so having a friend that plays this helps

[vagrant kayak]

It is, you cleanse a world tree right after the sequence in Grandfa's hut

[swift jolt]

oh i must have not cleansed it.. or something lol

[swift jolt]

but i do remember doing that when i was doing the flute thingy

[swift jolt]

okay cool deal i'll keep a lookout when i get back on

[swift jolt]

thanks for the image

ive been over here walking around with smoke/clouds all over the map except when im in like a dungeon.. im like wth going on

[elder roost]

If you look super hard you can see them on the map. A youtuber said try and find them on your own for the experience vs looking it up and i tend to agree. If you rush the experience you wont have much to do.

Explore the world take your time. And have fun with it. Learn the map etc.

[swift jolt]

well shooot i been exploring without them at this point lol.. i got about 2-3 hours of gameplay with all clouds covering the map smh

[fast lotus]

Question/Observation: I was gifted a code on Friday, and spent the weekend playing. I started as Oscelda with my ranged magic weapon. It wasn’t leveling up hardly at all, and I thought it was just normal. I got real frustrated while fighting the bear boss, as I just wasn’t doing enough damage. I was enjoying the game, so I picked up the Founder’s pack, and decided to try out the Wild Tethren pact. In less than an hour, my new weapon and skills were twice what my original pact was. Is this just a feature of the Founder’s pacts, or is Oscelda just harder to level up, or something else?

[vagrant kayak]

Founder items do not level faster, you may have been in higher level zones as enemies/Tales there give more XP

[fast lotus]

Not really, I was leveling ‘Normally’ (but hit a damage wall around mob level 25 or so) and just trying to unlock the map around the various quests. When I swapped over, I started back at the beginning, but I just started getting level up notifications like 10 times faster. I feel more like I some how messed up leveling the first time, but don’t know what I could have been doing wrong.

[smoky crater]

fought a higher number of enemies with the founder gear maybe?

more kills with higher frequency ya kno?

[fast lotus]

I don’t think so. I know I’m much ‘smarter’ the second time around, but I feel more like I bugged the leveling process for my Pact/Weapon the first time. I’m 100% willing to admit it’s a ‘me’ issue … but, I also figure I’m not the only one who might me messing something up. There’s not a lot of hand-holding for how things work in game, and I’ve been trying to stay off of spoiler sites unless it’s really, really bad.

[smoky crater]

there's nothing really that should/could even bug out with the leveling 👀

[mystic cipher]

As someone who is 4 weapons away from level 30 with every weapon in the game currently, I feel like magic was slower to level due to slower TTK on Oscelda vs the melee characters. But I definitely don't think Wyld Oscelda leveled faster than base Oscelda in that regard.

[magic topaz]

hi its been awhile since i have participated in soulframe preludes am i allowed to screenshare to my friends in other seervers or dms yet?

[smoky crater]

the NDA was taken down in october 2024 so yes

[magic topaz]

thanks

[fast lotus]

Oh, I haven’t tried the Wyld version for Oscelda yet. I just thought it would be a cosmetic difference. But, I am much more efficient at bobbing around with a big sword after just rolling to survive with a staff for the first 20 or so hours in game! 😉

[smoky crater]

wylds are mostly a cosmetically different version yes with slightly higher base virtue points

but also the regular pact and the wyld share the upgrade tree so you can get to 60 upgrade points (30 per pact)

[fast lotus]

Well, I’m going to level up a bit more this evening with my current pact … and then go after that DAMN BEAR again.

[mystic cipher]

Yeah but that doesn't affect leveling for the large majority.

[smoky crater]

yep

the only thing that makes a difference in leveling is enemy level and type

when it comes to xp/kill
excluding stuff like ttk etc.

[mystic cipher]

I think the biggest factor in my experience that original commenter made was difference in leveling in melee vs magic, especially if played same general content.

Cause magick definitely has lower TTK in the early game.

[lavish vault]

There's a guy screaming at fort kernsworth and I can't open the door or he didn't come out. Is that normal?

[mystic cipher]

Grab a torch and try to finish the siege.

Should fix that pretty quick.

[lavish vault]

I did finish it but he didn't come out

[mystic cipher]

Oh that's weird.

[lavish vault]

yup

[mystic cipher]

He always sits there screaming until I pick up a torch.

Then he gets tired and kicks the door down lmao

[lavish vault]

lol

[edgy sigil]

tethren's courage arcanic gives you damage scaling that kills enemies faster than oscelda which might be why you're leveling up faster.

your weapons on oscelda might also not be attuned to the virtue you have the most of

[frigid agate]

Hi guys, Is it normal for max Tethren/Wyld Tethren to kill Vadagar Stag in 4 hits? I did activate my orbiting Flyblades(Thrice Spurns Lv26) then cast Fellust before going in close with my Igne Mora(also max)

[smoky crater]

that'd be Fellust doing its thing yeah

[mystic cipher]

Bro hit the tethren delete command and then wonders why boss got deleted.

lol

[frigid agate]

Well i do use Fellust a lot before engaging mobs but it usually takes 2 hits to kill the first one, just suprised how fast it deleted a mini-boss(?)

[mystic cipher]

It will delete full bosses just as fast. Can clear Cogah level 50+ bosses in one combo if you don't get interrupted and lose Fellust early.

I promise if you do that fight without Fellust, it will take much much longer.

[smoky crater]

ye. try using tethren without Fellust

i honestly feel like the ability should be reworked as a whole because it just... doesn't really work. well.

it's a "hey cast me and i'll literally kill this thing for you no matter what it is in 2 seconds" that i don't really like at all

i never use it when i play tethren

[mystic cipher]

Well, I think the problem is it works too well, from a design standpoint.

But, playing devil's advocate, its wonderfully useful when leveling a fresh level 0 weapon...

[frigid agate]

Jeezes it's that strong? I've been playing the game blind since i started a month ago so i don't look up the wiki for the mechanics.

[smoky crater]

imo it'd be best to just... give it a different function than a literal instakill or large damage increase

it's too easy to hit enemies without missing a hit so you basically always get to the big boy damage numbers with it

[mystic cipher]

Yeah, its really that strong. I don't call it the Tethren delete command for nothing.

[frigid agate]

Well for what it's worth Fellust being this strong currently kinda compensates how underwhelming i find Clash. I dunno maybe i'm just not using Clash right.

[mystic cipher]

Is clash the 2 key or 3 key?

Is it the knockdown or the courage buff?

[frigid agate]

The 3rd, the one that gives bonus stagger and a does a shock blast radius that "sometimes" knocks down enemies.

[granite jacinth]

Hey dont want to spoiled to much but can someone tell me what to do with the seed once u have it in nightfold?

[mystic cipher]

It knocks down everything smaller than a bannerette, consistently in my experience. I use it anytime I get surrounded, every time. Knock everything down it can, go get a few executes, clears trash mobs without resorting to a known insta-kill mash buttons

[smoky crater]

during the quest or do you mean after?

[granite jacinth]

After

[smoky crater]

you can use the wevetseeds to fast travel to world trees

there's a 12 hour cooldown on pickups and you get 1-3 per pickup

[mystic cipher]

Once its in the night fold you get fast travel seeds from it every 12 hours, and that's it. If you did the missions in the order it was added, you're done with the main story for now. Farm, explore, level up weapons and pacts. Or wait for next preludes.

[granite jacinth]

I had a lag with bannarret her life switch red to grey with a X i couldnt damaged them

[smoky crater]

the X on the healthbar means your light attack damage wasn't high enough to get thru the enemys armor

in those cases heavy attacks will most of the time get thru still

[granite jacinth]

Nah cause at first it was red, okay let me explain A to Z

[mystic cipher]

Use heavy attacks or generate a smite, smite buffs give extra scaling for a small window, even without an active rune.

[smoky crater]

that's all the X and grey healthbar means

[granite jacinth]

@smoky crater before it turn grey i downed him by 1/4

[frigid agate]

This is also my experience and how i use it atm, the bonus stagger resistance is nice in helping with the grenade spam the mobs tend to do.

[smoky crater]

could be either the enemy had a temporary armor reduction active from a totem or ability or you had a temporary damage buff active

[granite jacinth]

so why before i had enough damage but after defeating the others ennemies grouping on me it turned grey

@smoky crater no i had none

ayt so here the deal

[mystic cipher]

Like wagiiii said, you likely had an active buff of some kind that wore off. Smite will give a buff, some totem and weapon effects give temporary buffs, etc. if you are 100 percent sure you didn't have an active buff, most likely the enemy had an active debuff that wore off. The only time I see health bars switch from red to grey or vice versa is after a smite or when a buff activates or deactivates.

[granite jacinth]

followed Avacot instruction did the previous quest and got to Bannarret, didnt know i had to attack him and he had 2 ennemies beside him i defeated both and then start attacking him, after 1/4 down his health bar just turn grey and i can't damage him no-longer more ennemies shows up and i manage to survive and kill them, now once back to Bannarret his grey bar, i had to do my birds to stunned him to the ground to do finisher to kill him. i do get the point that i might have not enough damage and all but why before it was okay and after no reason boom grey bar doesnt add up

i didnt had an active buff sorry

@mystic cipherlike i just said after he said it

[smoky crater]

did you use smite on an enemy right before you started engaging the banneret or did you use smite on the banneret itself?

[granite jacinth]

what is smite even i just do light attack and heavy attack

[smoky crater]

when the enemys torso starts glowing red/green/blue and you use Q+light attack to yank to soul

[granite jacinth]

ya i did that on those ghost rooted guys

Bannarret had nothing around him i looked

[smoky crater]

👀

[granite jacinth]

me its Lb on xbox controller

[mystic cipher]

Yeah. That gives you a buff. Usually like 100 seconds or so

[smoky crater]

ya LT+RB i think

[granite jacinth]

damm never tried that

[mystic cipher]

Did you do that at all during the mission.

[granite jacinth]

and i streamed for 10 hours yesterday lol

if a hold Q i can't attack lol

[mystic cipher]

Its literally a smite attack

[granite jacinth]

when i do quick and try to attack im trying to grab motes that are not there tho

[smoky crater]

no but pressing the light attack button will make you do a "pull smite", which pulls on the enemys soul/mockery spirit

[mystic cipher]

Does damage and heals, activates the rune on your weapon, gives attack and defense buff.

Grabbing motes is done using the smites.

Its a soul-grab

[granite jacinth]

that should be more explain in-game lol

[smoky crater]

it sort of is?

[mystic cipher]

It is?

[granite jacinth]

i didnt know that was smite

and i really paid attention

[smoky crater]

Pull Smite is taught during Torment Stag

when you absorb Fenn's wandering spirit

[granite jacinth]

i didnt had do pull smite on stag tho

[smoky crater]

but yeah the context in which it can be used is still quite vague even with that

[mystic cipher]

Its the dungeon leading up to it.

[granite jacinth]

thanks for details i tought my game lag

[smoky crater]

not on the stag, in a dungeon during the quest

[granite jacinth]

think of new players getting there finding a red bar and for no reason switch for a grey bar mid battle

[smoky crater]

well it requires very specific circumstances really

for that to happen

[granite jacinth]

ya but i still manage by stunning him and finishing him 3 times

[steep night]

hello guys and girls, do we have a date for the next update ? i heard next week ? is that right ?

[smoky crater]

"hopefully it'll come out that day (devstream day)" is what was said yesterday

devstream day being the 30th

[granite jacinth]

Whats at the bottom left of the map? I keep hearing growling

[steep night]

ok thanks

[steep night]

so sad, Verminia can't craft healing potion

[severe epoch]

do wyld and regular pacts share arts?

[candid hazel]

yes

[lavish vault]

That's exactly what I was thinking earlier

[granite jacinth]

We need a hotfix soon to mute people warframe haters are coming in game trolling those who trys to help

[gentle patrol]

i have two spare codes if anyone needs it

[granite jacinth]

@gentle patrol Go on a twitch stream and pick lucky winners?

[round fable]

Don't know what is up with my RNG this morning, but I got an insane amount of T3 Stags today in the NE. Combined that it happened to happen at night three times over a two hour period, I got 7 stags in two hours... Jeez.

[keen river]

that is insanely lucky lmao. nice.

[granite jacinth]

he kept popping up for me last night and the worst im with the beginner staff, and i cant deal damage to lvl 25 bosses they are marked grey for me im running for my life 🤣

[keen river]

fully-charged heavy attacks are your best friend in this situation! they bypass blocking and armor.

stag has pretty high armor, so weapons that aren't fully leveled and upgraded can struggle against him, but using heavy attacks makes this a little more bearable

and since you have a staff, you can stay at range while doing it relatively safely

[drifting cape]

with a polished feybault, all you really need to do is stand still and spam LMB

[fast ibex]

Do we know what else they may add to the game? While the map is a good size, it gets a bit small when there isn't much to do quest wise and when the faction grind is so huge.

I would love to visit the building in the clouds haha

[drifting cape]

we know that this is the starting island

some have said steve said tutorial island? but i havent seen the source for that

[fast ibex]

Okay cool. So more islands may be added. That is good to know. I am pretty new and oblivious to what is going to occur so please excuse my ignorance

[drifting cape]

not may

theres a 0% chance this is it

unless steve and all of DE have heart attacks due to the death note

[keen river]

yee we already know the plan for expanding the map is going to involve adding more islands; that's probably not ALL they're going to do either, but that's at least going to be part of it

[rare crown]

1 for soulframe code

[drifting cape]

but yeah we dont know when more will be added

[granite jacinth]

for sage and the staff its either light or heavy i can't charge my heavy on staff, if it is possible i dont know why I can't

[drifting cape]

theres no reason why you couldnt

charging heavy attacks is a basic function

[fast ibex]

Dumb question... Eventually a wipe of our characters will happen right? Or no since people can spend money on the game

[drifting cape]

no

[keen river]

you should be able to charge your heavy on staff. if you can't then there's an issue. just holding down the button should allow you to charge it until it automatically releases

[drifting cape]

no more wipes

[granite jacinth]

well i click it and it shoot i dont hold it compare to bow and sword

[fast ibex]

No? Oh nice. I am okay with that since I have been playing a bit. Just hoping for more to do so my friends will play more before they get bored of just doing the faction grind

[drifting cape]

you have to hold the heavy attack button

[granite jacinth]

i will try again if ever i will record but i gotta end out for now

[fast ibex]

Also, thank you for the responses on my questions @drifting cape

[restive depot]

Apologies if this is not the right place to ask but, my favors in Children of Alca does not have Oscelda available for purchase with standing. I just got to rank 5 and Sirin and Tethren are there but no Oscelda, is it no longer available here?

[keen river]

oscelda is the starting pact for children of alca, they don't have it available in their shop. rose and kith will have oscelda for purchase.

[restive depot]

Okay, thanks for the response I will check Rose since that was my starting faction.

[boreal canopy]

Sera, qualche italiano?

[boreal canopy]

i have a problem, why the absorption doesn't work?

[smoky crater]

absorption?

[boreal canopy]

yes when you absorb the ability from the enemy

or when u absordb those little lights to unlock the names of points of interest

[smoky crater]

it should work
Q+light attack (left mouse button) or LT+RB on controller

[strange grail]

hi all. im lookin at buying founders edition but it says r$89.90 is that brazil currency? i live in UK

[boreal canopy]

ooooh 2 button, thanks my friend, i play on prelude 2 and was 1 button to absorb lol

[lean prawn]

There is a max range to absorbing smites, if you are far away it doesn't work. You also have to kinda be facing/aiming at the glowing dot to grab it.

[smoky crater]

that's wild that it's showing african rands for you
using a vpn or something to block your location maybe?

[strange grail]

didnt think bout my VPN lol

[red kraken]

I wish I could run in Nightfold the same as overworld lol. It might seem nitpicky but its always jarring going from sprinting around>Nightfold>slow jog

[halcyon thicket]

Agreed

[lean prawn]

and the enclave hideouts

[red kraken]

yeah I just spam roll in the enclave because of that

[oak nimbus]

I have no idea what to do else sooo ima just run around farm and upgrade till sum happens

[plucky lodge]

You got all the pacts?

[oak nimbus]

Guys something happened

[sly escarp]

Wassup?

[bold heron]

RAAAAH CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

Mb caps

[cursive lotus]

does this image mean that they finally remembered grace existed

[oak nimbus]

Soulframe preludes? Why did I not get notified about that server?

[cursive lotus]

because it was the alpha test server

[oak nimbus]

Ah

[cursive lotus]

it got folded into this server when they released founders

[oak nimbus]

Wait a min I was here from prelude 12

Awell

[brittle nacelle]

Yeah the servers merged in p11

[cursive lotus]

to me, i didn't even know there was a normal soulframe discord

[brittle nacelle]

Or at the release of p12

[oak nimbus]

Anyways

[cursive lotus]

i was like "wait so they've just been in a discord waiting outside the whole time? that sounds really, um"

[smoky crater]

this is a pre-alpha test server aswell. it was just that the old separate one got merged into this one to make things easier

[steel ember]

Oh I got one suggestion for the weapons the shield …. 2 on both hands and just give a haymaker !!!!

[cursive lotus]

yeah but that was the server that was under NDA lol

although they loosened it to "no streaming only pictures" at some point

[sly escarp]

And then to "Only the server contents"

The NDA had a few phases to it

[patent lantern]

When does the founders become unavailable?

[cursive lotus]

they haven't said yet

but when it comes up they'll mention it

[sly escarp]

Not currently known but they said they'll give a month's heads up

[cursive lotus]

my guess is it'll probably end around the time they decide to go public release (because there is no point to invite codes without needing an invite)

[mystic cipher]

Yeah the founders link says 30 days notice will be given before Founders closes.

[cursive lotus]

founders is largely just early access to a bunch of things and some cosmetics, though

this time around the primary purpose is if you want to show support for soulframe

[patent lantern]

gotcha

[cursive lotus]

essentially like a tennocon pack

[safe mantle]

did they talk about any combat overhaul yet?

[cursive lotus]

they're covering that in the next devstream

if they're redoing stats then that will involve everything else

[sly escarp]

There will be a virtue overhaul which will impact combat, but otherwise no

[cursive lotus]

mechanically, not so much

[safe mantle]

yea thats sad

thanks for the info

[cursive lotus]

i think they're just trying to figure out how to make the game work rn lol

because they ran into a whole bunch of issues making the envoy greatsword lol

[sly escarp]

Wait, where did they say this?

Must have missed it

[safe mantle]

yea first time im hearing too

[cursive lotus]

well, rn the envoy greatsword is kind of, y'know, bad

[safe mantle]

spaghetti code this early is not optimal

[cursive lotus]

i am assuming for the purpose of future stuff they want to be able to have weapons do hybrid stats

[halcyon thicket]

well it is ported from Warfame's engine so

there's no escaping it

[cursive lotus]

so it's probably a major factor in why they want to redo stat system

because otherwise instead of it allowing you to mix and match your stats, you essentially just have three "make this your primary stat" trees

[sly escarp]

Eh, it likely has more to do with the fact Courage is just the best

[halcyon thicket]

an issue with a weapon is a major factor in why they wanted to change the virtue system? i doubt it

[safe mantle]

well i hope that they get around to reworking the combat mechanics as i feel like it is pretty lackluster right now

[cursive lotus]

that too, but they also haven't really nailed down what they wanted to do with the stats in the first place since they slow walked it in

[safe mantle]

thats true

[cursive lotus]

so making them more definitive will then allow them to decide how to handle the weapons

because of course if your weapons aren't aligned with what the stats do, they'll be rubbish also

so it's a number of problems, but i think weapons are tied into it also

[wet tulip]

damm feeling lucky today

[placid trout]

question

went in on a bounty, undercity and now when i wanna get out i am locked in due to ground forming, is this a thing or a bug?

[sly escarp]

Sounds like a bug

[placid trout]

aight

[iron falcon]

I'm missing the cardinal charm from the event, do I need to put a feeder for it to drop or just destroy the thingy?

[wet tulip]

just destroy

[iron falcon]

Do you know how many on average? Cause I destroyed like 35 or so and I think I only have 1 shard.

[restive depot]

I am well over 100 destroyed and I enough pieces to make two so far

[iron falcon]

will just keep at it then, as long as I don't have to craft more feeders

[whole bay]

Hey does anyone know if they plan to take a look at the melee combat again? I like the game but the combat just doesnt feel satisfying, at least for me imo

[smoky crater]

are you just spamming light attacks or heavy attacks only constantly? 👀

[restive depot]

If you still needs parts from the guys guarding the feeders, Sirin sneak attacks and pickpocket works great

[iron falcon]

No I actually have plenty of them already, after 1 week of 0 rostrum I got like 5 yesterday.

[whole bay]

No not really, but like everything feels bad? Like the abilities, the weapons etc... I get its like a pre-alpha, but as someone coming from very polished combat games (elden ring, stellar blade, lies of p, sekiro, etc etc) it feels very underwhelming that the parry feels bad, and attacks feel clunky

So I was just wondering if they are happy with it (and players too?) or if they plan to keep improving it, I havent seen any announcment regarding that

[smoky crater]

ah yes, comparing the world wide known games made by developers who basically only do those types of games to this, DE's first attempt really at this kind of gameplay.
i can see why it'd feel clunky 👀

basically everything in the game is still subject to change so i'd say there's 0 need for any sort of "worrying" about these things tbf

[whole bay]

Thats good, I hope they keep improving it, this game can really be something special if they keep cooking. thanks for the reply

[smoky crater]

but ye for parries, there's a combat art for a parry riposte which gives you a special post-parry attack if you haven't unlocked that yet for any of your weapons

[wet tulip]

its rare just keep breaking

[pearl stirrup]

are there multiple server-regions?

[smoky crater]

game sessions are hosted by players themselves, so in that way no.

the only server regions are chat related

[vagrant kayak]

Also world trees and Enclave instances

[smoky crater]

that too ye

but none of it affects gameplay in that way

[pearl stirrup]

oooh ok ok got it thanks 🙂 !

[smoky crater]

so ye unless you join someone elses party, there are no things like ping issues in gameplay

[round sphinx]

did they fix the aim assist? like enabled a toggle on/off setting for it?

[winter hatch]

Is spectral sight supposed to do something in the Secrety Glades?

Im rotating the deer statues around but Q doesn't do anything and its giving me the prompt to press Q

[smoky crater]

it should show like hologram like stuff on the walls in front of the statues

to maybe more easily figure out the directions the statues need to face in

[winter hatch]

It does nothing 😄

[lament seal]

are you holding Q down or just tapping it?

[winter hatch]

Holding it down, but I figured it out without it.

[lament seal]

the solution to every puzzle: brute force

[winter hatch]

lol yeah fr

[smoky crater]

well you can figure out the directions for the statues from the murals on the walls too

aaaaand i think i may have realized what the issue with nothing showing up in spectral sight might be
at one point atleast there used to be a bug where they wouldn't show up fi you had gpu particle quality or some other particle related setting on "Low" or "Medium". if it was the gpu one, maybe "High" too with "Ludicrous" being the only one that actually showed anything

[winter hatch]

Ahh its off so thats why

[smoky crater]

yyyyep probably that'd do it

[red kraken]

News we already expected but news is good non the less 🙌

[patent summit]

How do I find world trees? I’ve only found one. Plus I’m looking for the sap now am I still considered in the tutorial

[vagrant kayak]

No longer in the tutorial you can find world trees by spotting the large dead trees out in the world

[patent summit]

I swear I’ve only seen the first one

[tired sail]

They all have the same model, so if you recognize the type of thee it, they stand out from a distance.

[patent summit]

Unless I’m somehow this dumb, do they glow or anything plus am I just at this point supposed to be walking around and just looking for quests?

[drifting cape]

just walking around. or, try flying around as birb

oh i misunderstood

[tired sail]

Sometimes they're sort of isolated from the other objects in the area making them stand out more

[drifting cape]

depends where you are in the game and what youve done so far

[tired sail]

It can sometimes feel like trying to find a tree in a forest though.

[patent summit]

All I have done so far is meet the rose guild and find the hue lady and the people prior

[drifting cape]

ok so no bear yet

bear should be next for you. you might need to talk to verminia

[tired sail]

Other structures/unique vegetation (getting more dense the closer the player is to a tree) in a certain radius of a world tree might make them stand out more

Probably not a great example because this one has the spear removed, but it's the only tree in the clearing

A better example of one from a distance, looking for the dead branches helps a lot

[drifting cape]

yeah. gets a bit harder in the NE swamp where theres dead trees everywhere but by then you hopefully have all adjacent trees and can find it pretty easily

theres also a couple giant dead trees on the map. figure they have some kind of future significance

[frozen ether]

They’re pretty evenly spaced

Question, how do you do the thing after? if ykyk

[drifting cape]

no i dea what thats refering to

[frozen ether]

Can I dm

[drifting cape]

yea

[white void]

what does attuning staff to spirit do

make it scale more with spirit?

[halcyon thicket]

yes

[white void]

ty

[full hearth]

If it's already attuned towards Spirit it does nothing.

[white void]

:C

[full hearth]

[white void]

when i put rune in it it went from - to spirit

[full hearth]

Yes but if it's Spirit by default nothing changes

[white void]

great

[full hearth]

Strength of attunement wont change

[white void]

i made reset for nothing

[full hearth]

Only type will

• With virtue rework in the near future i'd advise against blesseds in general

Could save a needless rank reset

[white void]

:C

[verbal oracle]

Are Thrice Spurns, Esthelle, and Cobladh ONLY available with the purchase of the founder pack?

[lament seal]

for now, yes, they'll be available to non-founders in a later update though

[verbal oracle]

🙁

[torn nacelle]

Hey, so my friend gave me a code as we been following this game for a while and he got some codes, i redeemed the code on the website like it told us and its still saying im not allowed to download?

"Your account is not yet registered for Soulframe Preludes. Please await an invitation email before downloading."

this is the warning im getting

[final rock]

if you just entered it sometimes it takes the servers a few minutes to acknowledge it

[lean prawn]

I am currently getting that in the account page despite having been playing since P12 started...I can also still log in though.

[torn nacelle]

so i should just download and try?

[lean prawn]

Can't hurt

[torn nacelle]

ok ill give it ago thanks for the help 😄

[dusky hare]

where do i find the Odiac second Fragment?

[tight flicker]

Hey

I’m new to soulframe and I’m having a bit of a fps issue, I think the game is eating a bit of my ram space which is making my game extremely slow, can I get any advice?

[brittle nacelle]

plus if you're in alca's faction you can buy frags there

[frozen ether]

I think the message is just a bug you can still download it

[tired sail]

Ignore the warning message, all that matters is that https://www.soulframe.com/en/user says Access Enabled.
#1444748289424494804 message

[torn nacelle]

ill go take a look

ok it says enabled

so i should be good to log in?

[tired sail]

Yup, just click the download button on the website.

[dim wave]

Not looking for meta or anything but between the 2, which is currently stronger: the Mendicant Kings greatsword Purity or the Paragon greatsword. Lets say both have the same joinery and attuning for courage or something too

[drifting cape]

purity

not sure how much stronger i just know it is by a bit

[dim wave]

Dang. I guess it’s not a big deal with the weapon Transmog system coming one day but wish it was reversed anyways. Oh well

[tired sail]

Virtues are changing in P13 anyways so will have to see what happens then.

Paragon was made to eventually out scale other weapons to keep up with new weapons being added, but courage being the only stat that mattered was causing issues so that stuff is getting overhauled.

Have to wait for the dev stream, and unsure if the changes would actually fix the courage problem, and how it affects the paragon.

[scenic solar]

Finally got my second starter building...

[blazing helm]

I made a little table for comparing all the weapons.

If you get the big ugly consent banner sorry about that I am still working on fixing it and it proves difficult to debug, site is a wip anyways

randomizertools . net/soulframeweaponreference/ (spaced out around the . to avoid the filter thinking it is not soulframe related)

Meant for that to be a reply to the purity question

[frozen ether]

I just found a rose enclave, which isn’t my faction but I was able to do a mini quest to gain access past their doors. Is there anything I can interact with? I don’t see anything

[tired sail]

You would need to craft their medallion before you can speak to Deora

[frozen ether]

Ah ok 👍 I’ll look into it

Thanks

Can you find sacred shimmer anywhere else other than buying it from the faction?

[blazing helm]

Don't think you can I have only ever seen it in rank 3 faction shop

[tired sail]

Faction shop only

[blazing plinth]

Is this primaryly supposed to be a single/with friends game? i havent seen a single person yet. granted ive only played for a couple hours

[blazing helm]

You can only see other players in enclaves, but in recruiting chat there are always people forming parties to run different content

[blazing plinth]

oh ok cool thank you

[winter geode]

took forever
but dewelion is now crafting.

[frozen jacinth]

my friend just started and i just beat the bear. if i play with him will i be overlevelled? like will i significantly make things easy?

im rank 2

[verbal oracle]

How many weapons are "Founders ONLY"?

Also Which ones?

[lament seal]

Currently, 7, though they'll all be available in some way to non-founder players later.

From Wyld Tethren, The Ivor (longsword) and Thrice Spurns (flyblades).
From Wyld Oscelda, The Alder (staff) and Esthelle (wristcasters).
From Wyld Sirin, The Starling (bow) and Cobladh (dagger).
From Paragon, The Paragon (greatsword). This one will only be available to non-founders if a Paragon player gives you the fragment for it, though note that they will only be able to do so in a later update. The version of The Paragon that the receiver crafts will bear the name of the founder who gave it, but should be identical otherwise.

[verbal oracle]

Thanks!

[unborn glen]

I ran across this weird bug that somehow put me in Cogah (I havent unlocked the Elixir yet) not quite sure how it happend or how to replicate it. anyone else run into this?

[frozen ether]

What is “unidentified item”?

After collectors nimrod

[lament seal]

just a bug, you can ignore it

[frozen ether]

Ah ok

[dim wave]

What about the talismans and sparrow? I figure the glyph/profile pics are exclusive but the rest?

[lament seal]

Wyld Pact, Weapons, Talismans, and other items in Founders will be available again at a later date after Soulframe Founders ends.
How much is encapsulated by "other items" is an open question but it's been asked in the devstream Q+A forum thread

[sly escarp]

There was someone saying they"d asked support exactly what was exclusive.

Apparently the answer was "flowers and motifs"

Plus the semi-exclusive Paragon

But hopefully they address it directly on stream next Fri

[elder roost]

Question if I invest points say into courage and grace can I respec anytime?

[drifting cape]

yes

[elder roost]

Ty

[tiny rivet]

Guys where are the high lvl areas on the map ?

[lament seal]

northeast

[frozen ether]

ive probably already asked this but, if i have 36 virtue points into courage because that is my damage cap will putting points into spirit and grace have any benefits?

[sly escarp]

Not on your weapon damage, but they will affect your abilities

Courage increases ability damage/effectiveness, spirit increases how long abilities last, and grace increases the range the ability afgects

[frozen ether]

ah ok thankyou

last question, what are wevetseeds used for?

[sly escarp]

Fast travelling to world trees and enclaves

[frozen ether]

i couldnt figure out how to use them

[sly escarp]

Open the map and click and hold down on a tree or faction enclave icon until the circle fills up

[frozen ether]

awsome thankyou

[tiny rivet]

Is there a way to abort a faction mission...went to this high lvl areas and it was a big mistake 💀

[frigid spoke]

run far away til you get a countdown

[round sphinx]

did they fix the aim assist yet? like enabled a toggle on/off setting for it? I know they said they addressed it last big patch like 2-3 months ago but it wasn't fixed.

[lean prawn]

You can turn it off under accessibility settings, but it breaks being able to do finishers on knocked down opponents if you do.

[round sphinx]

oh huge! thanks for the response. I'll update the game again and fiddle with for a bit. Gonna be even better when they address that finisher bug

[spare badge]

They fixed it once before, but I think it's in the pile of fixes that P11 un-fixed.

[granite jacinth]

where to get something better then the Gwylen?

[sly escarp]

Magick weapon specifically or any Spirit scaling weapon?

[tired sail]

For primary casting weapons, farm ||the Wazzard|| for Estroot, does not appear until ||the waste bear|| is completed. The other primary casting weapon is from the founders pack, and has the same scaling and attunement as Estroot.

For side-arm casting weapons, your only choice is the Odiac - Discharged Nimrod, Bannerets, Alca's faction shop *unless you purchase the Oscelda founders pack. The two weapons are almost identical stat wise.

[frozen ether]

Just tried to attempt cogah collectors solo

Got 3/4 of the way and then got staggered out

I’m missing 2 runes

[tired sail]

I don't think collectors have any cogah related drops, at least not back when I tested it.

[frozen ether]

I don’t know why I decided to attempt it

[tired sail]

#1443494424624627792 message

[frozen ether]

Last hour of cogah well that was a little silly

[frigid spoke]

no, just tougher cause of cogah, nothing special in drops/extra

[velvet grail]

Show me your runes, I wont tell you what you're missing, but I'll tell you where to find them, if you wish.

[frozen ether]

🤣

[tired sail]

I think you can even run away without triggering the coward countdown

[frozen ether]

Oh well, I was close tho

I’m pretty sure my last 2 are nimrod

[velvet grail]

Yeah, one is from Discharged Nimrod, specifically while under Cogah.

[frozen ether]

6 days progress I think I’m doing pretty well

Still so much to learn

[velvet grail]

Very impressive!

[harsh geode]

Is this game fun?

[velvet grail]

No.

It's a blast.

[frozen ether]

^

And I spawned right back on collectors after dying

[lament seal]

as persistent as debt collectors

[fiery plume]

"Your account is not yet registered for Soulframe Preludes. Please wait for an email invitation before downloading the game." Someone with the same issue?

[lament seal]

website can be bugged sometimes, if you've redeemed a code you should have access, you can double check by looking at your user page: https://soulframe.com/en/user

[frozen ether]

“The objective had been completed” can’t invite people

Collectors although it’s not been completed

I guess I won’t be doing that then 🤣

[prime monolith]

Can I play the game right now if I buy the 29.99 version?

[frozen ether]

Yes

Or stream on the 30th

[prime monolith]

@frozen ether thanks bro

[frozen ether]

Can I use Nvidia overlay on Soulframe ? Can’t seem to get the overlay open

[vestal knot]

So, just want this cleared up, but the 'star' icons on gear basically mean nothing. Right?

[velvet grail]

The star is just the weapon's rarity.

[vestal knot]

and what about attunement

[velvet grail]

I don't want to give you a wrong answer, so take this with a grain of salt.

I think it means it has a higher cap. You can put more points into it to do more damage.

But I'm only 50% sure.

[vestal knot]

Not sure if thats correct, because wouldnt the thrice spurns then have higher attack and charged attack?

Im a full courage spec

Unless 1 > 2

but that wouldnt be very intuitive

[velvet grail]

No, your Thrice Spurns are rarer.

I'll look into it real quick, and come back with an answer.

[vestal knot]

No worries, just really confused on this. I went and made the precklies just for the sake of levelling a flyblade and then noticed once I was done it actually had better stats on every single thing besides stagger

[velvet grail]

Here we are.

So your Thrice Spurns will get 1.5 damage points per invested virtue point.

[vestal knot]

so... I can assume that the attunement damage isn't actually reflected in the tooltip then

[neat night]

caan I have the link ?

ty

[velvet grail]

https://wiki.avakot.org/Weapons

[unreal roost]

could anyone please explain to me, where we get perma boosts from?

Like say, do I get a stat point from max leveling a weapon? a pact? exc?

[frigid spoke]

you get virtue points for gaining a full envoy lvl, weapon points in combat arts for getting weaps tp 30, points to upgrade pact trees for getting those to 30. How many in total, can't remember. just play the game and go with the flow

[unreal roost]

ah, envoy exp is just doing anything I assume? can we see bar progression on it?

[frigid spoke]

no, to rank up your envoy, you need to gather the motes near town/camps where the flags are not readable, in the whole map. That will get you to envpr rank 12 or 13 depending on where you start, them getting weaps n pacts to 30 will fill in the rest, max rank 17 n some change

[unreal roost]

I had no idea the motes were so important, I thought it was just flavor

[frigid spoke]

Not really a bar but you'll see the circle that has the envoy rank in it slowly fill

yeah they are a HUGE chunk

[unreal roost]

crazy, and every envoy rank is a stat point basically

[frigid spoke]

think so

at least 1 for sure lol

[unreal roost]

beautiful, thank you so much!

motes, do some people just relog to reset the spawns on them? or are they timer based

[frigid spoke]

relogging is the fastest way to do it. There is some sort of timer, but logging off is the way to go if you're in a hurry

[unreal roost]

beautiful, thank you!

[frigid spoke]

yup

[tiny rivet]

Can I actually get inside this place or no ?

[frigid spoke]

Not without doing shady stuff. No clue why not tho

[tiny rivet]

Shady stuff?

[frigid spoke]

Glitching or what have you.

Otherwise no

[tiny rivet]

Oh okay

Thanks

[frigid spoke]

aya

[karmic compass]

Android? could that happen?

[frozen ether]

Can anyone explain melee damage to me? Sometimes im doing over 1k damage no abilities or anything but i cant figure out whats triggering it

[brittle nacelle]

No abilities or rune?

[swift kiln]

Will they add a new zone in this patch as well? New mobs?

[plucky junco]

i don't think we know the exact specifics yet, but the news post about the devstream does outline what the general plan is: #soulframe-news message

[smoky crater]

New zone in what way?

[unreal roost]

is there any spot or boss exc that drops odiac at a higher rate?

[brittle nacelle]

We don't have the exact drop rates for anything yet so I don't think we can really tell if anyone has a higher drop rate

[neat night]

we dont need new zone, we just need new thing to do

[static ibex]

anyone know how to open the trap door in Comber's leve

[brazen sparrow]

It's an exit door from some dungeon. it'll only open when you're on the other side.

[static ibex]

tyvm

[unreal roost]

what does it mean when parry stability cost negative? like will I fail a parry mid action? or it does less stability damage

[frozen ether]

Everflame but it’s not active

And no ability’s active

[brittle nacelle]

Honestly aside for a headshot from throwing a polearm or great sword I have no idea how you'd reach that number then

[burnt inlet]

can you get motes in castle kearnhold?

only codex entry im missing

[brittle nacelle]

Some places have a very inflated area where motes can spawn, don't remember which area kernhold is but it's possible it's one of them

[frozen ether]

I’ve tested everything I can think of without activating anything an It’s nowhere near

If it happens again I’ll clip it

[robust quest]

do we know the drop rates of items?

[runic dagger]

At a minimum most players should finish the bear quest to unlock the seeds that can get grabbed daily for fast travel later on.

[zinc gale]

Hey just got done with the waste bear mission, are there any main quests after that ?

[runic dagger]

maybe the wolf one, or the last one for verminia to unlock Cogah potions.

[alpine linden]

I don't think so, if we did I imagine the drop rates would be on the avakot wiki

[smoky crater]

Nope. DE still keeps those secret

Drop sources yes tho

[pine warren]

I just bought one of the founders packs, is it worth spending arcs on any of the pact bundles?

I was thinking of the shewolf pack, or the fire king one, but I'm unsure if those pacts are useful

I currently use wyld oscelda

[halcyon thicket]

No

[analog steppe]

Yoyo just started the game, what does it mean when the enemies glow blue/red?

[halcyon thicket]

Just take your time to farm

You can use pull smite = q + lmb

[polar ginkgo]

besides "endless", is there a way to level weapons?

[sly escarp]

Killing things and using them in content will level weapons and pacts

People just like Endless because it's a quick blitz of high level enemies

[polar ginkgo]

thank you. i was thinking of running high level faction missions

also, is Dewelion glitched or rare? i cant seem to get it and i've farmed the east fort constantly

[frozen ether]

You can get all the pacts by progress I wouldn’t waste them, if anything more weapon slots as and when you need them but that’s up to you

[vestal anchor]

When it come to console

[pine warren]

How do I uncloud my map (stupid question, I'm sure)

[warm prawn]

killing things, the arena mode is easiest but it used to not have a level cap

Got up to 170-180 myself

[frozen ether]

By discovering world trees

[polar ginkgo]

same. it's too boring for me so i stopped looking for it

[eternal barn]

I WANNA PLAY THE GAME

[smoky crater]

still a long time before console support comes.

[smoky crater]

you can get a code to play the game from next weeks devstream #soulframe-news

[granite jacinth]

nothing new into the game?

[frozen ether]

How much does - parry stability cost effect parry?

Is it noticeable

[granite jacinth]

I think i understand can you explain better plz?

[frozen ether]

Joinery’s have the reduction of parry stability by 10% upwards I’d like to know how much this affects parry before I use one

[granite jacinth]

Ya you see your life

The parry bar is right under its the white bar

Joinery’s meaning people teaming with you

[smoky crater]

since when?

[granite jacinth]

Yup the white bar thats the cost

[granite jacinth]

I dont know i was just curious a bit still trying to find that erstoot

[smoky crater]

it doesn't affect parries at all since parries don't have a stability cost, but it most likely does affect blocking tho.

[granite jacinth]

Thts what i thougth

[smoky crater]

when there's new stuff there's gonna be a ping in #soulframe-news and a new thread posted into #1439842825180155904

[granite jacinth]

Meaning the white bar will fill up faster maybe?

[frozen ether]

Get Stagger out quicker?

[smoky crater]

slower

[granite jacinth]

Okay thats what i wasnt sure

You have more blocking @frozen ether

[smoky crater]

ye you can block more attacks before getting knocked over

[surreal tiger]

just wanna say, game works pretty good on linux with proton.

so, to those with steam decks, yes itll work

[smoky crater]

ooooh people been playing on steamdeck for almost 2 years now probably

linux too even

[surreal tiger]

2 years???? i only heard about the game last year aww

[vestal anchor]

@smoky crater dang i wanna play

[smoky crater]

ye preludes began december 2023

[surreal tiger]

need people to play with tho, none of my friends want the keys i have

[granite jacinth]

So only 3 different magik weapon right? Should i change? The only high damage i see in sage weapon its 80 tell me if im wrong im looking at the market Odiac has 32 and erstroot 40. Most of others class weapons are 60-80

[frozen ether]

Oh so it’s actually a bonus not a minus

[smoky crater]

it is a "positive" stat in that way yes.

[frozen ether]

Ah there’s me thinking it impacts me negatively

Well that makes it easier thanks!

[granite jacinth]

I guess nobody knows

[polar ginkgo]

5 magik weapons but i think 2 are founders exclusive. they are solid ranged options if you dont like bow. just use whatever is comfortable to use. there is a bow that scales with spirit too

[granite jacinth]

Dammit thanks alot i tried to look online and you know how it is some search are good and others tells you the sky is purple if you get the joke

[polar ginkgo]

lol, i like odiac because it's blue. but i think staves have more damage potential

you can only get so much damage with staves before bows hit harder. but bows need more skill

[red lake]

Can you guys suggest what armour set should i go for after Tempest? Currently using Forgetfire and waiting for Tempest to finish, yes I’m still relatively new to the game.

[frozen ether]

What’s the best way to lvl up combat arts?

[polar ginkgo]

can you do faction missions in cogah mode?

[lament seal]

No

[polar ginkgo]

darn

[lament seal]

Same way you grind weapon xp since you get combart art levels from weapon levels
Endless / Arena, Cogah, and t3 tales all work

[lament seal]

Orengall, Mendicant King, Mockery, and Arbearer armors are considered the top tier armors atm

[red lake]

Thanks appreciate the info.

[polar ginkgo]

mendicant king is top fashion

[outer mauve]

how i can fix it?

[arctic cedar]

Its driving me crazy that medicant has a hole in the bottom piece 😭

[polar ginkgo]

ya know. i never had an issue with it in the past,

now i know it's there

[arctic cedar]

When I noticed I thought it's a bug and I had to check medicant... And well... his bottom has a hole too

[keen river]

i don't mind the hole, what i DO mind is the floating belt

[arctic cedar]

Both bottoms I guess

[keen river]

and if you never saw the belt before i mentioned it, then i'm sorry

[arctic cedar]

I don't mind the belt, other annoying armor is the one from rose fraction, where every weapon goes through the cape 😭😭

[keen river]

yeah capes and back-mounted weapons in games have a troubled history......

[arctic cedar]

I hope we will get better armors tbh especially bottom pieces

Because like arbearer bottom... Are we fr

It's one of the fugliest armors I have ever seen

[halcyon thicket]

Clips with a lot of torso armors

[lean prawn]

My guess is new ancestor and another fable, probalby still early to really build new areas and content (they are still modifying and testing core systems like virtues and arts).

[winter geode]

Hey what would y'all recommend for solo weapon xp?

I heard the arena thing just does pact if you're solo

[frozen ether]

#gameplay-discussion message

[winter geode]

yeah but doesn't arena give pact xp (not weapon xp) because of the smite kill

[lament seal]

last I heard, you get XP based on the last weapon you used to damage the mockery, but XP gain is in general an open question

[winter geode]

welp I'll give it a shot and see what happens

[winter geode]

yeah seems fine

[lament seal]

good to know, thanks for reporting back

[lean prawn]

I belive this was fixed.

[lament swallow]

I kind of wish we had our pact beast right now.

[vast pine]

does anybody have the "tunneler" rat shield totem? only one I'm missing, and the fact I have 0 when I have 3 of everything else makes me think it's bugged

[tiny rivet]

Finally got some colors....which one do you prefer? also is there a "solid black" color in the game atm?

[smoky crater]

i think the only solid black is from one of the founders ones..

[tiny rivet]

oh dang hopefully it can be get it in the future

[smoky crater]

also if you didn't know, the colors are gradients and not just a single shade 👀

[tiny rivet]

you mean like there is a diff red colors etc etc ?

[smoky crater]

you can drag your cursor around the color squares yeah

slight differences in brightness and saturation

[tiny rivet]

ooooooh sheeeeeeeesh I get it now thanks a lot

[smoky crater]

[tiny rivet]

Imma about to cook...well with what I have for now 💀

Nah that is dope af thanks for letting me know

[smoky crater]

no problemo

[frozen ether]

It gives both you don’t even have to use abilities for pact to gain xp or sidearm for example, they’ll still lvl up in arena with each primary kill, although you gain more Xp on the weapon you use

[arctic cedar]

Going to nightfold stops the spawn tho unless it was fixed in any recent hot fix

[winter geode]

you don't get sidearm xp

or like... it's negligible

[frozen ether]

I’m pretty sure I was gaining sidearm lvls while using primary

I would have to check to be 100% but I’m 99% sure

[arctic cedar]

Yes, you do get sidearm exp

[winter geode]

I got 100k xp for weapon+pact and 7k xp for sidearm. Like... that's so irrelevant it isn't worth mentioning because you can get that much hitting a few mobs yourself.

[frozen ether]

I’m not sure what the case is running solo

[winter geode]

well that's what I'm talking about

[frozen ether]

Always squad in arena so you can switch out weapons as they hit max rank

[winter geode]

I never asked about squad even once

[frozen ether]

👍 was just mentioning it

[winter geode]

Maybe think about it before you ping someone about something they aren't talking about next time

[tiny rivet]

The darkest black I have for now :V not bad at all tbh

[frozen ether]

Sorry didn’t realise you were exclusively running solo

[viscid star]

Hi everyone, new player here. Maybe I've missed something, but is there a way to make the character keep running? Right now I press my running key (not hold it), the character starts running, but if I stop and then move again, the character starts walking instead of running. Pretty annoying during the fights. Or maybe I need to get something for that?

[white igloo]

Might depend on the pact, but... honestly both are fine?

that or invert

[tiny rivet]

Yeah I can't imagen how the fashion will be even better in the future

[white igloo]

then again, I'd probably just try to make the colors like a leather suit or somethin, like what I did with my Drifter in Warframe.

I actually haven't really tinkered with fashion in this game yet. Mostly armor transmog, to pair a pact with its signature armor.

[faint pond]

Just a questions, not regarding in game gameplay. I did found my old gaming laptop with a GTX1050. Will it mange to run this game? 🙂

[white igloo]

Though Bromius armor is kinda funky to me, idk why

On one hand, I do like the chunky armor.
On the other... maybe it's the metal skirt thing?

[tiny rivet]

hmmm...low setting with FSR on / and you will have to turn off shaders and those dynamic settings too

[pine warren]

I am able to run this game with an asus zenbook from like 2019, I'm sure you will be fine

[sly escarp]

Worth a shot at least.

[white igloo]

Granted I also run low graphics...

[sly escarp]

Dmitri did good work optimizing

[pine warren]

I run pretty low graphics, and it doesn't look terrible

[tired sail]

Turn on bloom (even with the bloom slider at 0) fixes some graphics related things.

[pine warren]

So either way I think your chillin, just as long as you have a little more than 4 gigs of ram (it may be a little laggy otherwise)

[white igloo]

I just wish Wyld Tethren's Pact paired better with the Wyld Tethren armor.
I'm at least 90% sure the default Pacts are just an inverse of the Wyld armors

[tiny rivet]

• there is an app on steam called lossless scaling...it works like frame gen it...with the right settings u will have it run smooth but expect input lag but doesn't matter this much if you are okay with it in a PVE game (this app is 7 USD on steam btw but if you really needed it)

[white igloo]

Like, Tethren is 1:1 a flipped arm from the Wyld Tethren armor chest piece

[tiny rivet]

Other than that give the game a shot and play around the settings

[sly escarp]

True of all the wyld armours actually

They're made to pair with the base pacts aesthetically

[white igloo]

Mhm

[pine warren]

Is there any setting that is causing my screen to appear slightly blurry? I've been playing with the settings to find how I can have the best graphics/performance for my low end laptop, but I'm kinda stuck. Any tips?

[white igloo]

And it's weird that it's made that way. You'd think that it'd be the opposite.

Like, Tethren's armor is weird when paired with the Tethren Pact

not have the base Pact pair with the Wyld armor

[tiny rivet]

hmm...looks like TAA...what's your TAA settings on?

[pine warren]

(Picture looks slightly worse bc I did use my phone camera)

[pine warren]

8x

[tired sail]

Depth of field?

[pine warren]

I can't change it for some reason
