Also, we played on version 0.10.3 of the mod. This version is a couple months old at this point, and since the mod is a constant WIP, it's worth mentioning that there have been several features and bosses added since then.

🕹 Download Opera GX for free: operagx.gg/IronPineapple It's been a while since I've made an Elden Ring video, so I'll be watching closely to see if people are still interested, and if so, I have a few ideas for other potential mods and/or challenge runs to cover for Elden Ring and other FromSoft games. Also for everyone interested in the Souls-Like series, I do have a pretty big stockpile of souls-likes that have been played and recorded, so keep an eye out for that. For the immediate future, I'm very very excited for Dragon's Dogma 2, so there's a chance I'll cover that on my channel if there's interest. And of course, I'm super pumped for Shadow of the Erdtree. Anyway, thank you guys very much for watching and I hope you're all doing well.

I would have declined a sponsorship by Opera GX because it's a data gateway directly to china. Well, chrome does the same, but at least the data won't go to a country which is pretty much a dictatorship and openly spies on other countries and citizens. Tiktok is the same by the way. And Opera isn't even that good. Yes, it has some features but it's slower than Chrome. I stay at Firefox. It's still one of the slowest browser but one of the safest. No one takes data from you and makes money out of it. No one spies. But Opera.... stay away from it. Seriously!

While some may call hammer bros cheese, this is more tank to the limit. Players are going to maximum endurance fighter to beat out their opponent, fully possible for them to die. They have to get up close and swing away, and while mimic may get into cheesey territory, they still can die. You're not instakilling, boss, nor are you completely shutting down their ability to do things. While you may ve able to keep them down in stagger, they can break out, overall it's a fair, if annoying hyper endurance build

@toneprime3622 Месяц назад

Hey, fun fact, the 'waking the other' mechanic isn't cut, it's just broken for the duo fight. See, for that fight, there's an Apostle hidden under the map, and when the duo checks to see if the other is asleep, it checks all the knights nearby AND THE APOSTLE HIDDEN UNDER THE MAP, but NOT the boss fight. This is why it works in randomizer, and you can see this in action in the Apostle at the Windmill Village! Lure it to the dancing women, put em to sleep, and he'll wake them up.

It's the knights outside that cause the behaviour to fail; the "Apostle under the map" is just holding onto the shared health bar (a trick From Software have been using since at least the original Dark Souls).

If you clear out the entire area outside, or encounter them in a randomizer, the system works perfectly.

Just wanted to leave my own input here but the logical reason Torrent is immune to rot and poison is because he is a spirit. I mean you literally summon him with a whistle so it makes sense that a spirit is immune to these kinds of things. But gameplay wise it's probably because during your first bout through swamps you'd usually get invaded by an NPC or it's in a place torrent can't be summoned so after that it's like a little consolation prize?

@thrashergx4877 Месяц назад

For poison that works, but in Elden Ring lore, spirits are absolutely not immune to Scarlet Rot. Its not a simple disease after all, more of a curse borne of the touch of an outer god.

@Nyx_Eos Месяц назад

@@thrashergx4877 None of the spirit ashes you can use can be afflicted because they are ash, Torrent is once again summoned via a whistle and even then acts like a summonable spirit ash because if he "dies" you can simply resummon him. The only "spirits" that we see afflicted by Scarlet Rot are the Ulcerated Tree Spirits and Erdtree Avatars but they don't work like our summons because they are fully alive and not ashes and are simply existing as a part of the Minor Erdtree they appear at. So while I somewhat agree with you our summons specifically don't work in a way that Scarlet Rot or poison should affect them, ya know?

@@terskataneli6457 Please don't think you're better than me for providing incorrect information. All I have said is Torrent acts like our Spirit Ashes when it comes to gameplay, which includes the obvious ability to be hit and lose "HP" although lore wise they won't lose anything since they are spirits. All attacking them would do is disrupt their physical forms to the point of no longer being able to exist for the remainder of the fight. At no point did I say Torrent or the Ashes were immune to damage I just said they would be immune to Poison and Scarlet Rot.

I'm overjoyed you played Reforged! I'm one of the team members of Reforged, with the role of doing quality assurance and map editing. I was previously a regular on the Reforged Discord server before joining the team a few weeks ago, so my contributions are a bit too recent to be seen in your recordings. I've been watching your videos for years and have nothing but respect for you. My biggest undertaking with Reforged so far has been fixing literally thousands of errors throughout all of Elden Ring's maps, from floating trees to flickering textures to pieces of furniture clipping into each other. I also help place down new content that is being added -- such as a new kind of harvestable resource coming soon -- and polishing areas added or changed by Reforged, such as the extensively overhauled tutorial that was added after your playthrough. The community of Reforged is welcoming, friendly and inclusive, and the people there are very happy you have brought your amazing community's eyes onto it! Lots of exciting stuff is coming to Reforged in the future that I am excited for everyone to get their hands on.

Breaks PVP. Also isn't balanced for solo runs so you'd just have to hope that players figure out on their own that their flasks are worse in co-op. If you summon someone and they run off, it just makes everything even worse (they get buffed health AND your flasks are garbage). Also, it can be hard to coordinate healing each other when you don't have voice chat. Remember, this is a co-op mod. The normal game isn't so co-op focused. They literally have healing incantations for healing allies.

i like how shortly after reading, "i decided to take the cheese strats out for this mod" you then accidently cheesed a boss and then purposely cheesed one. human nature is a thing that doesnt react well to being told: "no" also, nerfing comet azur to the point of actual uselessness seems unreasonable. making it like that one magma incantation by perhaps drastically reducing the damage it does at longer ranges, forcing you to actually engage a nearby and very agressive enemy for a moderately long time to get that damage in... as opposed to getting your stamina bar immediately dumpstered from less than a second of firing

@camrendilbeck Месяц назад

Hard agree on that nerf. I’ve yet to see a challenge mod that doesn’t just nuke the stuff that’s too strong instead of actually trying to make it balanced. It always puts a sour taste in my mouth because a mod can be amazing and then do this to a OP thing and it shows me that they don’t care enough to try and make it work and just take the easy way out. After thinking about it for a minute I think an interesting change would be to shorten its range a good bit but split it into a cone instead of a straight line(and probably nerf the damage). This would make it so it’s still a strong option but just against enemy groups or dual bosses instead of the single targets, BUT if you really want that big chunk of damage you’d have to stand close to melee range to make all of the split beams still hit the boss. I think that'd be a super fun way to give it less overall power while still maintaining usefulness-just in a different way- while giving a more risk/reward playstyle.

@duckyduckington9736 Месяц назад

nah, comet azur is impossible to balance. Any nerf you apply will break it to being god awful. Its a fundamentally terrible spell since its either always going to do too much damage, no damage, or take too long. If you reduce the casting time its just a glorified shard spiral and if you make it cost hp its damage numbers vanish and if you try to balance it with less damage its just still going to be a worse night comet. Its objectively a terribly designed spell that only works if its cast time is shortened and damage nerfed by around 18% Even then that would also require all the magic damage nerfs to make even a little sense.

this video was actually so good I struggle to figure out how to make the beginning to my videos entertaining when I'm just explaining stuff but the way it was done here actually gave me the information required to understand what was happening in the video and was entertaining honestly underrated skill some people dont think about but turns out according to my scholars (me) its hard to explain something and be entertaining the whole time

I like using the Meteoric Ore Blade as an early game Mage weapon. Inherent magic damage and scaling, bleed build up, and the heavy attack slaps real damn hard.

@prince_nox Месяц назад

okay yeah no, a few of these changes had me like "I don't like it but I see why it's like that", but the Torrent change that makes swamps kill him??? nah, dumb change. Torrent is immune for gameplay AND lore reasons, but focusing gameplay-wise he's literally a response to the player base complaining in every other game about the unavoidable poison swamps, so devs went "Here, have an immortal horse that's immune" it's always so funny to me when game devs make a QoL change and a modder is like "nah I like suffering" 😂 also the comment from the modder about radahn's attacks being unavoidable through dodging and forcing players to use blocking or parrying or whatever?? I hope that's for hard difficulty ONLY 'cus if not that's a lowkey red flag. If you teach a player that dodging works, and then throw them a fight where it doesn't work, that's not a "challenge", that is bad game design :/

@thomaswinwood Месяц назад

The complaints about poison swamps have always been kind of a meme, but Elden Ring has gone out of its way to make the Swamp of Aeonia (which this complaint is always actually about, since the other major poison areas don't let you use Torrent in the first place) as minimally frustrating as possible without needing an invincible ghost horse. Gameplay-wise, the "quality of life" change of making Torrent immune to ambient status renders Rowa Raisins pointless because you never need to care about Torrent being hurt. Lorewise, Aeonia is the fantasy equivalent of Pripyat, the ground zero of a catastrophe that scarred an entire region - shouldn't that at least make you stop and think a moment about how you're going to navigate it? > I hope [radahn's attacks being unavoidable through dodging i]s for hard difficulty ONLY It is. The harder the difficulty mode you choose, the more the design of the mod assumes you're proficient with its additional dodging mechanics like ducks and deflects. Playing on Reforged mode is comparable to vanilla.

@@thomaswinwood I do not know about anybody else, but I certainly wasn't chomping at the bit for a mod to make... raisins... a more integrated and necessary feature.

"Generator Spells" "Recover FP on hit" GOD that's the best thing I've ever heard.

@ChrisHoopes1 Месяц назад

Yeah that’s a legit good idea. It’s never been very fun in Souls games to try to be a spell caster where you need to constantly chug estus to regain MP or whatever the equivalent is. Now you can actually throw spells out there constantly and feel like you’re in the thick of it.

@hakageryu-hz7jz Месяц назад

@@ChrisHoopes1 It seems like ARPG dev leads from Japan like to purposefully design things badly sometimes and call it "creative vision". Makes zero sense that you have no means to regenerate your FP outside flasks, so you end up with limited uses of your special attacks/spells, and that is how they balance it. On the other hand, you can build to annihilate everything in one cast/hit so what the hell is the point of limiting the fun, instead of making you engage more with the game to get more FP in combat, so you can use the satisfying flashy and powerful move?

@genericyoutuber5533 Месяц назад

It’s a good idea, but with the massive increase to spell costs it ends up feeling worse since you just have to sit there for a minute spamming the same generator spell over and over I liked Reforged when it was first available, but as they added/changed more stuff I ended up not liking it and moving on (the archery challenges are really fun though!)

@flagmuffin1221 Месяц назад

The generator/spender system from ARPGs like Diablo is not liked by many people. And apparently this made makes spells cost ridiculous amounts.

@doshmastercash1977 Месяц назад

It quickly loses its charm after having to fight Fromsofts terrible UI that makes cycling through spells a chore. That and ultimately due to how they nerf FP costs/damage you end up with an overall worse experience as a caster.

@CowKirbo Месяц назад

I kinda hate that their solution to "cheese builds" is to completely nuke their use like comet azur being practically useless because of that stamina cost on top of the other nerfs

@thomaswinwood Месяц назад

If you level endurance, you have more stamina. I don't know why Iron Pineapple declared it "much less useful", stamina is crazy useful even without it affecting equip load; the more of it you have, the more you can chain together dodges and counterattacks without needing to resort to skill-intensive moves like parries and deflects. It also scales the regen, since that's percentage-based.

@CowKirbo Месяц назад

@thomaswinwood yeah duh but needing to dedicate thousands and thousands of runes just to USE THE SPELL on top of all the other nerfs is ridiculous. They completely ruined it

@1Hexxer Месяц назад

@@thomaswinwoodenough things were already nerfed or changed in order for the comet to not be anywhere as useful as in the base game. The stacking damage buff, bosses are more aggressive and seem quicker so they will probably not just stand in the beam, boss HP in the raid mode is so ridiculously high that they can just tank the spell and their damage is also so high that they will probably just one shot you during the cast. There was no need to tie the beam lifespan to stamina to nerf it to the ground. Yes stamina is useful however leveling it up eats lots of runes, runes that could be put to better use.
