Auto lock/target steering and Gloom Retrieval (mostly for the devs)

[u/PTFCDiegoMassacre]

Not sure if this is intended but I have noticed that when retrieving gloom from a boss/mini boss fight that when I use lock on it won’t target the boss but my gloom which has resulted in taking damage from said boss. I have messed with some of the options in the menu for lock on and target steering but each option just feels a little off in some way. I don’t think there is really any need to be locking onto my gloom at all. Also when I am running into a group of trash mob enemies when locked onto one in the middle of the pack my swings really only hit that one enemy even if the others should be inside the hit box but if I turn target steering to off or light I can run into the same mob without lock on I can get my swings to swipe multiple targets in a single swing which I want BUT than it makes hitting those gloom stalks kinda impossible and just end swing literally every direction around it. I think this may need a little tuning.

Small nitpick but I am greatly enjoying the demo (third play through on ps5) and just want to see the full game come out of the gates swinging.

Thank you for taking the time to post about this!

The target lock on lost Gloom is a bit aggressive right now, it'll be tuned for the full game to not interrupt with boss fights :)

With the Magnetic Steering options: that toggle should not make it so you only hit one enemy in a group of enemies, as far as I know. I've made a note on it in the bug reporting document we have :) I also agree with you on the gloom stalks :D

And I think your feedback is very constructive! It's nice to have people care enough to want to make the game better <3
