Out of curiosity how many mages do people tend to have in their party? I tend to have two (healing mage and attack sorcerer) so that's what I did with my pawn and made my Triss pawn solely focus on buffing and attack spells.

Speaking of, what's recommended I do if I want to make her use buffing spells more often? And should I have multiple buffing spells or just focus on one because the AI is dumb?

The AI isn't really dumb though, they just need teaching, once they learn everything about the enemy, they will act surprisingly smart.
Like a utilitarian inclination pawn, will use apprioprate special arrows (if the threat is high enough) target specific weaknesses.

Likewise a mage will provide proper buffs if they know an enemy is weak to said buff.

Typo, my bad lol. I meant the Parry ability. I kept getting rekt early on thinking I still had it lol.

Do mystic knights get a parry?

Yes they get a set of elemental shield parries, which are pretty damn awesome.

 

[Majukun]

You're only keeping one mage then? Figures. I was planning in going back to mage class after reaching max level in sorcerer to make her keep at least one healing spell. Might do that right now.

yep.. got your pawn yesterday and she had healing abilities, then lost her in the sea and had to re-summon her and didn't check if she still had healing abilities.. now I'm stuck

 

[Jabba]

Played this on Ps3. Some of you guys who haven't played this are in for a treat with late game pawn renting. Capable pawns in Dark Arisen content is essential. Some pawns you rent are going to astound you.

I also love the fact, night time is actually a factor. I was completely trashed once traveling a t night. So bad, never got off a spell. Travelled by day for awhile after that.

2 Mage pawns is generally good I'd say since my pawn and my character are both physical classes. As for buffing spells, it depends on the area I think but early going stuff like adding fire or ice to weapons is good

Update my arctool to support Dragon's Dogma PC:
http://www.tzarsectus.com/tools/ARCtool.rar
http://www.tzarsectus.com/tools/ARCtool-PC-batch.rar

You can unpack and repack all the ARC files. It also lets you convert various file formats (by adding extra command line arguments. just edit the batch files, or add it when running the batch file in command prompt:
- TEX (-tex) Textures
- XFS (-xfs) Gameplay variables and scripts.
- LOT (-lot) Enemy definitions.

This is definitely for advanced users, so people who haven't done any modding before might get lost quickly.

I'll write more extensive documentation later along with some general information about where stuff is among the game files.

Hey mister - is there anyway to know where to look for for specific textures? perhaps some documented list somewhere or general tips.

I am looking to edit the lantern aura texture. At this point I am just extracting any .tex files i can find :/

 

[Grief.exe]

Yes they get a set of elemental shield parries, which are pretty damn awesome.

That is going to be awesome. Need a good dodge too.

The best combo I've found is to toss them and blink strike (Fighter).

Tried the skyward one myself. Maybe if you could coordinate it with your MP...

Ya I've been using the same combo, then Broad Cut to dodge out if needed.

I thought I was going to be slick and get a sweet air juggle though. Surprising that didn't work considering Itsuno.

No, not yet as far as I'm aware. Potentially interesting thread WIP: http://residentevilmodding.boards.net/thread/5764/ddda-arc-list-spoilers

Just a heads up, but when repacking with the tool using the pc-dd bat file with -xfs appended to it, pawn AI broke.

Unpacking and repacking arcs with "DDDATool" didn't affect pawn AI.

If you switch vocations, does it cost another 1000 to switch back? So if I go from Fighter to Warrior, and then I wanna go back to Fighter, do I have to pay 1000 again?

Sounds like a Ponzi scheme.

No, it's unlocked.

 

[paperspace]

You can switch vocations when you reach level 10 and have been to Gran Soren. Shouldn't take to long.



That's great, unfortunatly it seems to alter the same file as the mod that makes sprinting consume less stamina, and that mod really is a godsend.....
Hopefully someone combine those.

I made a combined mod if you're interested.

I've played it before but man it's so pretty replaying now

It's not a perfect game but I'm glad it's reaching new players and people are having fun with it

Can't wait for texture mods to start coming. Lots of the clothing could really really use a upgrade, they can be ridiculously low resolution.

 

[Chance Hale]

Anyone else having an issue with Sectus's tool closing the second you start it?

It was working fine earlier.

 

[-tetsuo-]

I switched to normal now the game is super easy D:

 

[Admiral Woofington]

welp nevermind, completely forgot that Sorcerors have a different staff so they couldn't use healing spells even if they wanted to because they never get any. So until I reach max level in sorceror with her I can't bring her back to mage, or it'd be a waste.

yep.. got your pawn yesterday and she had healing abilities, then lost her in the sea and had to re-summon her and didn't check if she still had healing abilities.. now I'm stuck

Sorry about that mate, like I said above I can't even give her a healing spell now without increasing the time it takes to reach the high end attack spells she'd get as a sorceress haha. If it helps there are PLENTY of regular mages in the DD friends group, just go back to the DD group and add a bunch of friends, you'll get free pawns galore. But switching her back to mage would be useless because she'd lose all those sweet attack spells i got her

i want some grass mods, higher density/res grass would be dope

I wonder if anybody can do a mod that blurs your character when you're aiming a bow so you can take a proper screenshot of it. Hell, i'd love a mod that does a proper photomode. This one is so limited.

I've just finished trying the game for the first time and I'm loving it, here are some screens I took with the camera mode:

Vanilla no mods.

It builds character!

Hey man, I've suffered plenty! Already run through it on ps3 a few years ago! Modding time!

[Rhaknar]

interesting, I went and did the woods quest before I handed the hydra like you guys told me (what the fuck at that being cut off, its a cool zone and quest), wnet back to the village and apparently I had another quest down the well, im not sure where I got it, in the gran soren boards maybe?

and speaking of boards, the board back in the first village has more quests now. Are those quests shared between all the boards, or are they specific and add more?

edit: goddamn it picked up another escort by mistake >_> and you cant drop quests either grrr

 

[Arkanius]

I was very happy with my character that I created but something about the running animation is off.
He looks like he has a giant ass and runs with his feet open

Wat. Every other NPC runs normally. What did I mess up?

You can drop the escort quest, but you will need to go to another board to be able to do so.

Just go back to the quest board and it will let you cancel the escort.

You should be able to do it at the same board, I never had to go to another one.

You can drop the escort quests. Go to the board again and it will ask you if you want to drop it.

I would pay million dollars for a map having its own shortcut. Using Esc for it so fucking annoying.

Anyone know of any good Mystic Knight weapons during pre-game still? I'm level 30 and at Stage 4 (

Spoiler

Royal Orders quests

). I'm still using Eden's Warden and now upgraded my shield to Knight's Honor. On PS3 I never played MK so kind of oblivious to some of its armor/weapons to look for pre-game (

i.e before killing Grigori/Dragon

)

yea seems like capcom updated the original console photo mode to allow moving the camera and changing the fov, but didn't go beyond that, I mean I really appreciate that they put in the work, but I wonder if you can mod it to go beyond that

interesting, I went and did the woods quest before I handed the hydra like you guys told me (what the fuck at that being cut off, its a cool zone and quest), wnet back to the village and apparently I had another quest down the well, im not sure where I got it, in the gran soren boards maybe?

the board quests seem to update every once in a while, I think each board has different quests but I'm not 100% sure, you should check and pick them all up but just forget about them since they're almost always just kill x number of enemies, you usually kill enough of them when you're in the area doing the main quest/exploring or whatever, no need to purposely go out of the way to complete them

quest boards are not shared, as far as I know. and fuck escort quests, serously

For anyone also interested, here's a screenshot with it.



Bear in mind, it looks great during the day. Not so great at night.

Thanks for sharing, I like this way better than the wickfut ENB that was posted earlier in this thread. The massive depth of field almost gave me a headache.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

for those in here using the DS4, there's a mod for you

http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/15/?
http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/18/?

Both of those add Playstation buttons to the game. The top one is higher ranked but pick the one you want.

 

[Anteater]

yeah if you don't like the escort quests, don't do them, the quests outside of the npc/main ones are not very important

unless you see a reward you want, not sure if there's any and I'd rather not know!

 

[MUnited83]

Just go back to the quest board and it will let you cancel the escort.


You should be able to do it at the same board, I never had to go to another one.

The one time i needed to do it it didn't let me, but it was also the only quest on the board at that moment so that might be the reason.

You can drop the escort quest, but you will need to go to another board to be able to do so.

JUST found that out lol

So I'm trying to downsample with GeDoSaTo (first time using this tool) but it doesn't seem to initiate a frame dump no matter the hotkey I assign. Any advice?

 

[LucidMomentum]

GeDoSaTo question:

Despite enabling bloom, AA, AO and DoF in my settings and post.fx file for DDDA, when I use the hotkeys GeDoSaTo tells me they aren't supported by this plugin.

However, HUD disable and Post Processing are enabled and work just fine via hotkeys.

Any ideas on what is keeping me from really tweaking things?

Bloom, AO, and DoF require some more finagling.

AO (and perhaps DoF?) require the GenericDepthPlugin.

Bloom requires game specific plugin.
