Update today? Jumping back in!

 

[Merchandise]

Patch notes are confusing. Says Suzaku is being adjusted and then in a second bullet point says that when it's activated at 1 HP it'll cancel status effects like poison or burn. Wonder if that first part means power is being nerfed.

 

[sh4mike]

Five pics here (use arrows to page through at the top). Looks like a couple more 2 boss battles, and Hundred Eyes arena fight.

Suzaku zero health activation cancels all buffs. Quick change cancels buffs. Sword mystic damage from behind nerf, Bladespin ki use up. Critical status buffs weakened. Changes to LW gauge decrease speed.

[Augemitbutter]

sounds good so far. keep em coming.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Yo! Is that a Nobunaga and Yasuke tag team battle?!

Edit:

Maximum possession limit of smith materials expanded to 9999

More spirit iron shards! XD

 

[Phoenix944]

They didn't fix the bug with the hotspring? When I go in a hotspring with a buff it cancels that buff, kinda annoying since spell are very limited :/
Or maybe it was meant to work like this?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Holy shit you can pause the game? 0_o

That's a good patch.

 

[hichanbis]

My katana dmg from behind, horoku dama build seems nerfed.
While sloth users can still cheese the game no problem...

 

[xuchu]

Fixed a bug where titles collected would not reach 100%.

No more 99.7%

Wow those are some major changes to the meta. Not sure how I feel about some of them but I'm excited for some new missions.

Hahaha:

The sword of execution buff is really stupid.
But Its not an execution if they survive.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Lol the main thing that would affect me is the elemental debuff decrease rate since I'm running a Demon King build.

Sword of Execution dmg buff

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Yo update today?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

I saw on gamefaqs that we're also getting new weapons (NOT new weapon types), like for example the Giant Toad's spear.

Yo update today?

Yeah, people have confirmed it for Asia region.

Not confirmed for the other regions.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

My accounts US, so i hope that they release it their too.
Hope these missions are more than just double bosses.

I think there's also a triple bosses lol

Google translate sucks and nobody seems willing to give a proper translation of the new boss missions.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Oh wow, one of the new mission is a "Ninja Gauntlet" lol!

EDIT:

Doesn't look like a tag team but you also fight

Spoiler

Mitsunari and Otani

back to back. Good for people looking to farm their set.

EDIT (2):

I hope you guys like Bloody Palaces XD

 

[Deku Tree]

Did they nerf my Axe build into the ground?

 

[SephiZack]

So many nerfs, but I'm actually only affected by buffs (sword). Can't wait for EU patch so I can do dual Hanzo+Okatsu while naked

 

[hew9753]

This may be a dumb question, but if I quit and exit the game while in a mission will I be right where I was when I start back up - like in Souls games - or does it always reset back to the last shrine save point?

Rub.

The game is easy enough that I understand adjusting things, but still...leave my beautiful axe alone, meanies.

 

[cheesekao]

Is the 6 man gauntlet new? I had to fight the big ass wooden sword guy and the 5 weapon masters one after the other.

 

[Deku Tree]

So they just read video game forums and nerf the OP builds that people write about? I guess that's how game balancing works in 2017.

 

[SephiZack]

Apparently the change to the Sword Mystic Art might not be a buff. Patch notes only say "adjustment", so it could be a nerf D:;

You have the patch?

Don't see why it would justify a buff. It's already one of the best mystic arts giving 50% damage from behind on its own. Maybe they'll nerf it to 35% or something. Would rather them just leave it alone though.

Lol the main thing that would affect me is the elemental debuff decrease rate since I'm running a Demon King build.

I'm sure you'll be fine. Even with the discord damage multiplier nerf, the power of discord comes from the stagger potential and constant stunlock. It may be slightly harder to set up dual elemental debuffs but I'm sure discord builds will adjust.

 

[cheesekao]

You have the patch?

Yep. I saw a bunch of missions get added when I started it up but I didn't really pay attention to the names.

 

[IvorB]

This may be a dumb question, but if I quit and exit the game while in a mission will I be right where I was when I start back up - like in Souls games - or does it always reset back to the last shrine save point?

It's not a dumb question and as you will be back at the last shrine you saved at.

 

[SephiZack]

Patch downloaded. UK here

 

[Izuna]

Can't wait to jump in 😍

 

[hyp]

looks like all near-infinite LW builds are nerfed once and for all.

 

[Izuna]

Also, I am glad I never got to LV750 because that would trivialise all of this stuff.

Got maybe 3 hours of spare time before I have to study.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Should be studying but fuck it , I'll stream the new missions xD
https://youtu.be/H-ocH2K18E0

 

[SephiZack]

Did the sword (mid-stance) become slower? Maybe it's just me

 

[Kaako]

New patch? I like what I read. Can't wait to jump in tonight!
Probably the one game I'll keep coming back for more this gen.

 

[Deku Tree]

Are the new missions for everyone, or just for DLC owners?

 

[BigEmil]

Oh wow, one of the new mission is a "Ninja Gauntlet" lol!

I always keep coming back to this game it's so satisfying

Why? Can't you just respec always to a lower level if it all becomes cakewalk? xp

Really awesome!

Damn straight. That combat and gameplay mechanics is straight up sex.

 

[Izuna]

I also want some form of progression <3

haha, the real reason is because it was just too much for me. I'm on rn and I'm soooo hyped.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Well first mission was fucking awesome

 

[Hybris]

Oh shit update today? Just in time since I just finished Nier

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Lmao okay hanzo and okatsu

 

[Izuna]

Fuck, I gotta spec, I forgot I went back to LV1 before I stopped.

 

[Hybris]

I haven't played in a few weeks. Anyone know if the save file deletion bug has been addressed? Need to know if I have to keep doing manual backups since I don't have PS+...

 

[SephiZack]

Trying to do hanzo and okatsu without getting damage (and no cheesy stuff) is more difficult than two kings or other shore for me. Not only I have to care about two fast people hitting me, but also poison clouds, ground spikes and shurikens from the other side of the map z_z

 

[Izuna]

Man, this game is SO FREAKING GOOD

Haha understandable. <3
I'm just itching to jump back in tonight and glad you guys are having fun with the new levels so far. Keep us informed with any decent divine loot drops/spots in the new levels please, thx.

 

[Izuna]

Hanzo Okatsu fight almost got me.
