Wait, why are people saying the Guardian inclination is bad?

I thought it was one of the preferred ones

how viable is a four sorcerer party?

>>128857981
are you post game?

>>128857873
They don't spoil in storage.
Some items become more valuable when they hit the sweet spot stage before going to the spoiled stage.

Like meat.

Meat > Sour Meat > Spoiled Meat
Sour meat is worth much more than normal meat.

>>128857968
Mages still have Anodyne, Halidom, Spellscreen, Grapnel and buffs.

>>128857996

why? daggers dont count for the damage your pawn does with a bow and it will help since the only weapon it has is the bow so it will only use that

>>128858217
fighter, cause he will learn from your sword/shield usage then
unless your are bad, and dont want him to learn from you, then go with whatever looks better

>>128858083
Just add him to your favorite pawns list and then you can hire him whenever you want.

This way you can place it down whenever you want to return to the inn or whatever and then get right back to where you were and pick the portcrystal up again.

>>128858630
>you meant to run away from Death the first time you meet him, or at least it what everyone said
You are. You won't overcome his defense threshold until you have at least 1500 attack.

Death always OHKOs you. Also your level is irrelevant. Get good gear and/or good stats.

What the fuck, guys, can someone help me out here?

I started the game off in my inventory with Ruminator's Monocle which can be sold for 312,000 gold and they're not even that amazing boost-wise.

Why did I have these in my inventory and why are they worth this much fucking gold? What's stopping me from selling them?

I just feel like this might break the game, I can just buy whatever fucking equipment I want for the rest of the game.

Anyone know?

>One at the camp before the goblin fort
>One before the ruins where the griffin boss fight climax is
>one at the healing spring

These were all great points that made continuous NG cycles so much faster.
Seeing as how I did like 200 NG cycles getting the auto dragonforge on equipment held.

>>128858867
all high versions of spells need more time to channel the second half, and pawns always go for that
more cast time means more chances of the pawn cancelling the cast to dodge a goblin or something

They really shouldn't have given those things right at the start. Maybe rather in postgame or somewhere. It just traps new players into making their pawns cosplay.

>>128858658
Depends.

How do you feel about Dark Souls?

Cause I was getting oneshotted by basic goblins until level 15 on hard.

Basically the beginning and end of the game are more difficult on hard, but you grow fast as fuck.

Also hard doesn't increase enemy health so as long as you don't get hit it plays almost exactly like normal other than some extra trash mob spawns and your character runs out of stamina twice as fast, but that's what those 50k stamina recovery items you looted for literally no reason are for.

>>128858861
>Anything else I'm supposed to know?
Death has random chance to spawn when there's bunch of fresh corpse around, also try going back in NG+.

Holy fuck Capcom why, why would you do this. The main texture for enchanted staff shots is the same as that annoying as fuck glow on enchanted weapons.

I just spent an hour trying to narrow down what arc file had it, and what part of the generic effects texture it used, and it just had to be the same one.

Oh well, at least I can fuck with the transparency of high anodyne's residual effect and the lanterns' glow without ruining other stuff probably.

Yeah, MGSV was fantastic gameplay wise. It just suffered from cut content due to internal drama within Konami. At least Capcom is on an upward spiral right now, whereas Konami was at the downest of downward spirals.

i use keyboard, it works fine for me though controller is recommended as the default skill keys are ctrl and alt (i changed to t and g and it works for me) and if you plan on playing a class with bows and melee, switching between bow/sword will take a little getting used to (hit q to switch rmb to aim, hold skill key then use and release mouse button or e to use skill)
its just more efficient with a controller but keyboard is perfectly viable

>>128859739
Eh... yeah you can do it but you will have a subpar pawn. Pawns take to minmaxing a bit better than Arisens. Your pawn will have more balanced defenses for the trouble, so I guess less babysitting which isn't so bad.

Short of it, you goofed a lil' but it'll work out fine enough. Good training will still make your pawn a cut above most.

>>128860156
Yes, absolutely. Sorcery is great to have, as long as you can protect them to cast spells they basically drop nukes for you.

That said, you don't have to trip about it. If you want a melee/archer pawn go for it, just know you'll want hybrid weapons and maybe try and make their defenses a selling point (I.e. they can take care of themselves without needing reses).

seriously, they have a legal money printer with the SF series, they know they can trickle $5 palette swaps out and people will buy them all and make them way more money than a DD sequel would
then you add new carbon copy fighters for $15 and that just makes even more money
i love DD and monster hunter, but i know that while those two might make a bit of money for capcom, i know full well that they're just back burner shit compared to street fighter. SF will always be their priority because it makes them the most money, both in game sales and dlc

And that's when I figured out that yes, bandit bosses are annoying, but that's what pawns are for. You're for killing everyone else starting with range users and wolves if they show up and working your way up to anything that can take a hit while your pawns tank anything scarier than you are.

Course knowing how to take them on and not getting roflstomped by archers, wolves, or stamina consumption and then of course you have to kill the problem children and that's always easy to fuck up via over-extension.

magic knight is about buffing yourself and yourself alone, mage buffs everyone (one at a time...)
and just experiment with classes. find one you like and level and keep in mind augments can be used as any class (once you buy them). each class has different stat growth though, like fighter gives you the highest defense while warrior gives hp, ranger-stamina etc.

>>128862064
There are plenty of quests you can miss like that

It's surprising how often the entire map has new quests for you

For example, I didn't know that you could come back to Cassardis and go down the well to get into the Saurian lair

What are some good skillsets for magik archer? I feel like my bow is kinda weak right now, I'm still kinda early in the game tho (like lvl 25 and vocation rank 6)

>>128862341
Yeah that's what I mean, but if I never chose to come back there (which I did for the traitor part of the thieves quest) I would never have known that there's an actual lair, rather than just a few saurians and bats

>>128862251
I dunno, like 80% of the quests you get in either Cassardis or Gran Soren, and the game usually straight-up tells you when unfinished quests are going to be abandoned. Lost and Found is the one time there's no warning, and you're still new, and it screws you over for the rest of the game.

Mod for visibility inside Maelstroms FUCKING WHEN

Don't stand inside your Maelstrom?

Equip Magick Rebalancer as soon as you learn it and NEVER remove it. It boosts your defense and can stack, making it effectively a Demon's Periapt you can use on-demand. Also, the Rivet series of bow spells are remarkably good if you've got melee pawns in your party. You load the enemy with Rivets, your pawns hit them, they get triggered and they explode for lodes e damage.

Why doesn't anyone talk about the story or lore for this game?
I thought it was an rpg...

>>128862503
The absolute most OP setup is Sixfold, Ricochet Hunter, and Explosive Rivet, using the Dagger skill Magick Rebalancer. The other two daggers skills are whatever. Instant Reset should probably be one of them.

MA's stat growth is comparatively poor, and Magick Bows do comparatively little damage, however, once you start overcoming mob defense thresholds you'll see how gross MA's skills are.

>>128862721
This is all about the gameplay, story is really meh.

>>128862721
not much to discuss and everything that could be discussed can be done in a single thread

>>128862721
Unlike Dark Souls there is actual fun gameplay to talk about

When is the become berserk?

>your pawn ain't shit
>the number of times your main pawn has been hired

Fuck man I'm doing the old saying "rift sluts make rift bucks." Does this shit not on PC? I'm seeing a lot more loli shit happening....do o have to make a loli to get some rift bux anons?

Mod that makes the MK shield act like the fighter's shield when
why can't it just be on the arm, dammit

>>128862721
Most of the lore and story is laid out for you fairly plainly through the course of the game... There's really nothing to expand upon to be honest.

>>128862721
I actually really like the story and all the subplots, and would discuss them if someone asked.

However, most people write of DD's story as "shit".

Do I miss out a lot if I don't use the online features?
I'm thinking about buying the game.

>>128862996
It's literally Itsuno's Original Setting Donut Steel from when he was 14. It's not so much shit as it is painfully generic.

buy it man

>rpgs are solely about story

if so i don't think a good rpg has been made in over a decade

games about gameplay, which is how it should be.

>>128863041
In terms of content, no. Expect the game to be harder with the shitty offline pawns though.

>>128862949
Pawn hiring is fucking broken, dude. Has been since release. People could've hired your pawn plenty of times, but it won't show because something's wrong with the Rift servers.

>>128862996
My favourite thing about the story is the fact that it starts off looking a lot like a generic RPG story, but then you get further along and shit starts getting crazy, real fast.

>>128863041
no

Going for the old man look, most likely a Mystic Knight. Should I use a little lighter hair color?

>>128863041
you wont see the abomination pawns some players have made, thats about it
pawns can earn rift crystals when other players hire them, but thats apparently fucked right now but its nothing major

Valmiro is one of the better written characters in the game and the most underrated.

Happy?

It's because most people who have never played it before haven't gotten to the good parts of the story where everything is explained and it's because people who have already beat it talked it to death years ago.
