yusssss

this is extremely good to me

i finally beat Conjunctivitis last night, and then had a great run until dying just a little short of the final (i think?) boss

my big mistake was in "upgrading" my ranged weapon at the last second. somehow i was still rolling with Legendary III throwing knives, which were incredibly useful because they were causing and spreading bleeding, 3+ ammo so i could throw them pretty much as fast as i could tap the button. but then i came across a crossbow VII and thought it would be an improvement because the DPS was so much higher. in reality, i was suddenly saddles with a slow weapon (broadsword), a slow ranged (crossbow), and a pair of skill/traps that didn't compensate for my sudden slowness. within a few minutes i had died.

stoked to play 60 fps for my next run and check out the other new updates!

rock solid 60fps is just...

lots of other small tweaks too. amazing update

finally got the ball rolling and am starting to explore a bit more; had a hard time getting over the first hill.

still haven't installed the update but holy shit

https://dead-cells.com/patchnotes

for example

Bosses no longer drop Legendary items, but 1 weapon and 1 active skill instead. Legendaries are now "world drop", so you may encounter them when killing mobs or on the new "legendary altars". The level generator has also been adjusted to ensure you find a "Legendary Altar" in most of your runs. You may also get legendaries as rewards of advanced challenges, like beating a boss without getting hit.

no big deal on its own but there are a lot of changes that are this significant. juuuust as i was getting the hang of it and about to beat it, it totally changes! still, i'm assuming most of the changes are for the better and it's really cool that they're paying attention and trying to improve it

The rebalancing of 0 BC is so easified that I was able to breeze through on a purple build.

Ice Bow is nerfed but still awesome, generally it doesn’t feel as punishing to go red or purple on the damage in the later levels

If they did this much rebalancing I might try grenades one day

Oh, and Efficiency is nerfed too, so...

my save got wiped by the update but that's fine bc my 5th run on a new save i've already beaten the timekeeper. the game is much more about skill than unlocks.

I’m determined to beat it now

need to finally buy a pro controller I think

0 BC (the difficulty you start off on) is much, much easier now. All builds (red, purple, green) are now viable. The game feels less like "an extremely difficult game that you have to break to win" and more like "a highly balanced game where every option that is available has its benefits".

There are still so many blueprints I am missing! surprise!

It's better to have fewer blueprints, innit?

New update lets you pick and choose. Extremely useful

They cunningly lift the restrictions on legendary weapons, tho, so you can’t, say, limit auxiliary weapons to “death orb” only, play green, then expect that you’ll get a legendary death orb to match your green build. It’s very clever!

Oh so the Spartan sandals I unlocked are no longer a curse!

I've bought the game, played for 2 hours today amd I still don't understand most od this thread. great fun so far though.

finally managed to get to the second boss

got my first couple of colourless weapons too. erring towards brutality builds atm: had a good thing going earlier w the infantry bow (criticals at short range) and marksman's bow (criticals at long range)

Oh so the Spartan sandals I unlocked are no longer a curse!

The "kill 30/60 enemies without taking damage" bonus is an awesome new development... encourages more careful play (over speedy play) and my game is getting better. In previous versions it was the move to try and pick up as many scrolls as possible and so the timed doors meant speed speed speed. Now there's no reason to power through.

I'm also noticing that gold is more valuable now, in terms of upgrading your gear... maybe it's just me but I'm finding myself having to make hard decisions.

I've been trying to win again at 1 BC with the update, trying purple and red builds (green builds are less viable now that legendaries are less common). Haven't been successful, haven't even made it to the Time Keeper. I love this game

it is so moreish

just beat this for the first time - really excellent game

beat the hand! wish the switch would tell me more precisely than '20 hours or more' how long it took.

Okay! Beat this for the first time! lots more to do i think.

I can't even imagine beating this game

I couldn't either! It hits a tipping point and then starts to meet you halfway.

Actually beat the final boss the first time i got to him! Freeze blast and a powered-up oiled sword + autocrossbow and bear traps got the job done pretty easily.

I nearly beat him and was plentily powerful, had his health bar down to about a centimetre but then stood spamming the L2 button for about instead of L1 to use potion and walked hopelessly into spikes. 1 hour 37 of patient, fluent prep ruined by 2 seconds of co-ordination meltdown.

i do something very similar in that situation (and also in dark souls). it is very frustrating.

1.2 update looks cool

skins !

New area and 2 new bosses (1 of whom I will definitely never see first-hand)! Neat!

heh, found the "git gud" dark souls secret area.
for those who missed the game's difficulty curve, with one boss cell it gets MUCH harder

I beat the hotk

get it round ye

just heard that the company that made this is a cooperative. i'll buy it sooner than later

so this seems...hard

well fuck

just heard that the company that made this is a cooperative

Yeah! https://kotaku.com/game-studio-with-no-bosses-pays-everyone-the-same-1827872972

That cursed sword run just makes me want to stop playing this game tbh

Whew, a Tactics build changes the whole game! I started playing with two ice shards (or one fire and one ice) and two turrets--cheesing as much as I could by dragging a turret around with the homunculus head--and got the 2nd and 3rd boss cells in just a couple of hours.

Wowwwww that's amazing. I've beat 1st but not 2nd. Gotta get more into tactics builds I guess
