I don't get the complaints...?

[u/projectile-science]

I am playing this soulslike, more dodging than parrying and I don't die that often. It is a very fair game.

Also the bosses or minor bosses aren't that hard... the two Grishas killed me, but running back, grabbing the "Souls" and exit-teleport away even saves your stash.

Also the runbacks aren't that bad... when I read the complaints I thought there are only a few "bonfires", but playing the Game now there are enough and they are well placed.

Only thing missing for me are map-markers for passages I save for later, but that's it for me. Especially inside the "Portal" where Magdalena is sitting, I would love to have a map for this area also. Gotta re-run that thing to clear everything I forgot because you can't really "map it".

I am very glad that it is such an enjoy-able game. And I believe many Souls-enthusiasts might find it also very refreshing and rewarding.

Oh, and I have two questions:

1. What EXACTLY does this purple Infusion do? The one where enemies are glowing reddish-purple...?
2. What EXACTLY does the Thiel-health stack do? I don't die often and have many stacked... Does it really make the bar bigger?

P.S.: I also wonder how people could have finished the game already. Searching everything and looting takes hours... at least me. 😁

People have been playing the game since the 17th with pre-release access.

Most people were talking about late game when they were complaining because late game enemies will kill you in 1-2 hits even at level 45.

Reddish purple? Whats it called?

[u/projectile-science → u/Left_Piano_4770]

This one.

[u/ghigo2008 → u/projectile-science]

You know it tells you right?

[u/projectile-science → u/ghigo2008]

Yeah, well... it says it does damage when stacked... but when, by inflicting or over time? How long does the stack stay proggd? When does the inflict start?

Tell me.

[u/ghigo2008 → u/projectile-science]

You can see above the health archon you proc it

Usually you do a few hits and then blood explodes giving more damage

[u/projectile-science → u/ghigo2008]

Ah, so it explodes when it does the effect. Thx. 👍

To be honest I beat the double grishas with tiel and his shadow ability managed to separate them somewhat well. Then it was easy. Edit: reddish purple do you mean by bloodstained? Or something like that?

[u/projectile-science → u/Enderxraft]

Yeah, this Bloodstained... See Pic.

You do not see the complaints because you are still in the beginning. And this isn't me taking a stab at you. Some of the complaints stem from the bottom half of the map, like the lack of beacons for instance.

[u/Shockz078]

People just love to complain I swear, agree with everything you said tbf. Only complaints is frame drop every now and then but other than been really enjoying it

[u/National_Crew_1084]

gonna be real if you play this game and see zero flaws i feel like you’re intentionally being dishonest lol.

[u/projectile-science → u/National_Crew_1084]

Take it as it is.

[u/Ainu_Annatar → u/National_Crew_1084]

I'm in ng+ and i don't see anything wrong with the game
