You can transfer your PS3/Xbox360 save using a converter.

No shit?

Hmm, 'tis tempting ... no need to do the unending BBI loot loop if I can have my level 200 pawn back from the get-go.

But I guess I wouldn't really have anything to do.

 

[dragonzdogma]

The kunai? They aren't that good really. They are potentially found elsewhere and are soon outclassed anyway.

The Kunai are definitely outclassesd by say, heavens key, but they are the much cooler looking...It's not all about stats in the world of dragons dogma

 

[Substandard]

Magic Archers are terrible.

I gave it a fair shot, but seriously: moment you get to a boss you might as well break out a good book because 99% of their skills are useless. Then you have go back to Thousand Kisses and Strider/Assassins have better versions. Richochette Bolt is amazing, but it's the only good skill they have and it only works in small rooms.

Trying to kill a Condemned Gorecyclops with a Magic Archer was the most painful thing I've ever had to do in this game. Never again.

I think Magick Archers are amazing for pretty much everything. I just used Sixfold / Hunter Bolt / Ricochet on my bow all the time and used all fire skills for daggers. I particularly like Sunflare, but that's largely because the animation is cool.

Hunter bolt could probably be swapped out, because it's really only good if you can hit 10 targets at once in an area where ricochet can't work well.

i hope my pawn got some usage. It's only a fighter but oh boy i hope someone used her :£

[edit] that's a big fat nein

 

[silva1991]

I knew casting bolide on cockatrice was a waste of stamina

literally only one meteor hit it and almost did no damage.

high comestion ftw.

 

[Akronis]

Does the enemy variety increase as the game goes on? Seems like just bandits, goblins, wolves, and saurians with the occasional Chimera :/

 

[kabel]

Ok I have an idea....I need to find an eyepatch and a way to paint my armor

 

[Soodanim]

I miss my old pawns (all star team) so much....

Where can I download the PS3 save converter?

http://www.gamepur.com/guide/21776-...pc-how-covert-save-games-console-version.html

I'm tempted to convert my save to see how it is, because I traded in my PS3 copy. Is there a safe way to back up saves? I think I read about the possibility of messing up server syncs and whatnot.

Ok I have an idea....I need to find an eyepatch and a way to paint my armor

Try the Black Cat for an eye patch. For the arm... texture mod?

64 types I think
according to the wiki http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Enemies
but this is not including the BBI, I've seen alot more there.
Some enemies will only come out at night also.

Whoever decided one of the discs in Mettle Against Metal needed to be in a tree can eat a dick. That was miserable.

Keep in mind that having an idol in your inventory lowers shop prices. What you want to do is make a forgery of it, then give the original to the shopkeep of your choice (giving the forgery won't expand their inventory). Keeping the forged gold idol in your inventory will still give you the discount.

Amazing protip, thanks.

Hello Arisens -

The Rift gifting/player rating issue that seems to have manifested post launch should now be fixed. The root cause is still unknown but we can confirm the server side database have gotten corrupted as a result.

Keep in mind that the first couple of trades may not work correctly due to the built in cool-off period, but you should start seeing positive results within 12-24 hours. Please continue renting pawns and resting at the inn as usual and let us know how it's working out for you.

Meanwhile, the dev team is investigating other client side issues such as the W10 beta infinite loading screen that occurs right before the pre-rendered movie/cutscene. It appears Microsoft is testing a different video codec in the beta build which is causing issues for a handful of our games that rely on WMV codec.

We'll post further status updates on the official Steam forum. Please stay tuned.

Thanks for the update and fixing the pawn issue

Wow that's exciting. I didn't want to spoil myself looking at the wiki so I appreciate it

Do variants of same enemies count as different enemy types?

Except Metal Golems...

Any magick class going up against a metal golem might as well call it a day. Even fighters and warriors have to tediously climb the golem and jump up to hopefully hit that one crystal that hangs in the air.


Fuck metal golems if you aren't an archer.

 

[roadrunn3r]

Just started the expansion and I'm getting some "souls" vibe from the atmosphere and level design. That sense of exploration and checking every corner is awesome. Much better than the base game for me so I hope it stays this way till the end. The main story was probably one of the worst I've ever played but I'm still enjoying the game so all's good.

Still hard if you are an archer, he is pink dots on his hands and bottom of his feet that are not always visible. (assuming thats the guy I am thinking of)

Yeah I posted about it yesterday. Metal Golems are a cool idea in theory but there's no reason they should be immune to magic damage. Ugh.

Yeah, the typical stuff, but there more enemies for you to fight , trust me you will meet all kinds by the time you reach the ever fall and BBI ( and the post game world)
It's going to be a wild ride amigo.

 

[nded]

There is an eyepatch in the game. It used to be DLC but it's not in my item storage. You can buy it at the Black Cat for around 100K though.

Thanks buddy, much appreciated

Ah I stumbled on that guy and the fight took about 20 minutes..maybe I was just underpowered.

 

[Cyrano]

Except Metal Golems...

Yeah... like, eventually BBI daggers go through them like butter, but until then...

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Except that one medal up in that tree...

 

[papo]

Ok so I got the 4 portcrystals, but I remember there being more than 4, where do I get them?

Are they a NG+ or can I get them in the normal game?

 

[Cyrano]

Except that one medal up in that tree...

Ugh... memories of spending far too long in frustration.

Bleh at metal golems. Bleh at them.

edit: Thinking on it, I'm pretty sure they're the reason I made my pawn a fighter, simply to distract them while I go do the actual, tedious... work... of taking them out.

 

[Lux R7]

Ugh... memories of spending far too long in frustration.

oh c'mon, they are good guys. You just need a bow, it's not that bad

 

[Noray]

Can someone explain the DLC area to me like I'm an idiot? I don't get how it works like, at all. Is it just an endless dungeon?

 

[KainXVIII]

About sidequest progression http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Sidequests
If i move to Stage 2 or later quests, is quests from Stage 1 become unavailable or only those in Quest Fail Stage column?
For example, if i complete Lure of the Abyss and go to Stage 2 progression Search Party quest from Stage 1 will be absent?

 

[Cyrano]

oh c'mon, they are good guys. You just need a bow, it's not that bad

Fie on your bow! Fie I say!

 

[Lux R7]

it's a dungeon-like area, it's not endless, there are bosses and a final boss.

 

[dragonzdogma]

It's an island and no it's not endless, and you shouldn't probably be there unless you are lv 50-100 or above.

 

[silva1991]

I failed at accomplishing Quina's sidequest at the beginning of the game and now I see her at a creepy church? @__@ she didn't even say hello.

it sucks that I didn't know what exactly happened to her at that quest.

 

[Cyrano]

It's an island and no it's not endless, and you shouldn't probably be there unless you are lv 50-100 or above.

Yeah, for the early game it mostly provides easy access to changing your vocation any time you want (talk to Olra). Later on it provides the best stuff in terms of damage/defense.

 

[The Silver]

Still hard if you are an archer, he is pink dots on his hands and bottom of his feet that are not always visible. (assuming thats the guy I am thinking of)

You're talking about a regular golem, metal golems don't have crystals on them, they are scattered throughout the environment.

Mages will have hardest time with regular golems since you'll have to hit the crystals bare handed. Sorcerers can use gicel which also does physical damage in addition to ice.

No I meant the electric and fire daggers. I don't think Caxton sells them even with gold idol, though I could be wrong

 

[Lux R7]

No I meant the electric and fire daggers. I don't think Caxton sells them even with gold idol, though I could be wrong

you can get better daggers with a quest right after the duke (and get the fire daggers in many places around gransys). However, i always give the idol to Madeleine, the real Fashion Dogma starts there.

 

[Meneses]

I bought this game again even though I knew I couldn't run it (I was right, the framerate goes to shit very frequently even on lowest settings - yes, my laptop is that bad) just to support this port, and maybe help improve the chances of DD2 or a new console port.

It's great to see so many people having fun with it, it truly is a special game. I really miss playing it

 

[ClaptoVaughn]

So does everyone have HORRIFIC banding going on in the sky at night time? This is literally the worst I have ever seen.

Lol, that's why I stay far from ledges when they attack. wouldn't want them to throw me to my death -___-

 

[Lanrutcon]

Dude magick archers sixfold/ninefold bolt is one of the best skills to use again condemned gorecyclops, they are weak to ice.

Ok, I concede: you're right. Swaps skills and respawned the jerk. Murdered it quite easily from on high.

 

[The Silver]

Those harpies were loving you, a real ladies

Quick question: do I need to keep stuff in my/my pawns inventory so I can use when enhancing weapons? Or can I store all that stuff in stash?

Store away. No need to carry that stuff.

Someday, when you get a new laptop, you will at least have the game waiting for you.

Though, I have to ask, did you try lowering the resolution below 720P?

 

[Steel]

Ok. Heading back into BBI after hiring your friend's level 10 mage as the party's healer isn't wise.

Edit: Double post, whoops.
