So I downloaded it and tried logging in with an old account that didn't work. I guess it was blitzed long ago which is fine. The problem is it won't let me create a new account because no matter what email address I put in at the account creation page, it says it's already in use. Is the only...

The last time I played LOTRO was so long ago that I think the game was still relatively new at that time. I don’t really remember why I stopped but I have thought about trying it out again recently. My biggest concerns are how does it hold up to today’s standards in graphics and gameplay? And...

That’s actually a more plausible explanation, not to mention one I can feel better about having still not beaten that fucker myself.

So, let me get this straight...this chick...is fighting Radahn on two different systems...at the same time....using a controller for one and a dance pad for the other?

Too costly to make and to maintain. Not to mention the mindset of the typical gamer has changed over the last decade or so. No longer willing/able to invest the time most MMOs required due to an increase in RL obligations as well as market saturation of games as a whole. The only real hope I...

What I mean is, I’m not interested in putting money in their pockets any more. Do I think they’ll miss my few dollars if I don’t watch it? Of course not, but it makes me feel better to know I’m not supporting shitbags like that any more. Now, I might still put the remote down if I come across...

Also, actors in general sorta piss me off. Tom Hanks, who I consider to be the best of all time and one I do like, encapsulated it perfectly for me when upon receiving some award joked, “We get paid an awful lot amount of money to pretend”. First, it is a lot of money. Ridiculous amounts in...

A good number of them are probably due to politics. For example, he’s old but I won’t watch anything with DeNiro in it now because he’s such an extreme leftist asshole. Will Smith is there, which sucks because he’s done some really good acting in some good movies, but any respect I had for him...

I have my own list of actors who I've personally disavowed. Just won't watch any of their shit because they're all miserable, insufferable, entitled human beings. Basically, avoiding their work is my own little way of saying "fuck you". J-Lo is one of them.

At what point does this thread get shaw'd? Even the falling gifs game has gone to complete shit.

I went back on my bleed toon this weekend to try out the Dragon Katana, which he already had, and the Sword of Night, which I still needed to get from the black night's corpse in the fingers church. The Dragon Katana is nice but I don't like the ash much. It just didn't seem to land as much on...

Took another 20 stabs or so at Radahn today. No Albrecht. No Mimic. No cheese build. Just me and my Backhand Blades. Got him to phase 2 one time in those attempts. Just when I feel like I'm starting to learn his combos, my timing will be off on one swing and it's usually pretty much over...

I ran through ER's base game on 5 different toons. Two of those 5 I took through the DLC. None of them used a shield. I did try a shield very, very early on in my very first toon's playthrough two years ago but hated it, mostly because I found it very difficult to switch my mentality between "I...

Also, in the latest patch, they changed his start point to always be off in the distance, like he does when you first encounter him, instead of right there in front of you. Just that change alone made him more manageable, even if the hit box still needs tweaking.

I actually thought of that and tried it several times. It helped some with his gravity-based attacks but he was still able to hit me through the wall with his spear thrust and that GD boar charge. Part of why I mentioned he induced more rage than any other boss. I eventually got him on my first...

Gaius gave me more rage than any other boss in the DLC, moreso because of the boar charge attacks than anything else. Definitely top tier bullshit.

The word was that this same dev team was supposedly going to be entrusted to create a new LOTR MMO that Amazon has the rights to make. No real details on it have been released yet to my knowledge but given the way those guys were developing and managing New World, I have very low expectations...

I started NW about a year ago and loved it. The game took forever to load on my decent PC but once I was logged in, I rarely had performance issues (I did have to drop the settings a bit). Once you reach max level and hit the grind as someone mentioned above, the shine really starts to lose its...

This is me, although I've got probably 10-ish attempts in on him. Did get him to phase 2 but nothing close to a kill. I'm just shelving it for now until I feel a stronger desire to give it a go again. The problem is, there's nothing else out right now that has my attention.

I can appreciate that. This was my first (and only) FromSoft game so I fully acknowledge that I just may not be used to their design. As stated, I found parts of the DLC to be a bit different/unfinished than any part of the main game, but you certainly could be right in that maybe it just...

Perhaps, but there's no denying the emptiness in the DLC is exactly that. I mean, there's nothing at all to even pick up in these places save for a couple of cookbooks in AW. Jagged Peaks had a few items, bosses, etc at least. I was just disappointed in how little there was to actually explore...

He's not wrong about the finger ruins areas though. Not one but two pretty vast areas of nothingness save for the bells and some shitty fucking serpent dudes that can stunlock from range. And outside of Manse Hall, Abyssal Woods is in the same boat. That's three huge portions of the map that are...

Watching shit like that makes me feel like I've been playing a completely different game than them.

All DLC bosses down on my second toon except Radahn. I got him to phase 2 a few times but not really close to a kill yet. My primary build centered around fire and Messmer's spear doesn't seem to do jack shit to him so I pivoted to a holy one instead. I tried the Euporia blade a few times but...

Ok the Euporia twinblade is super fucking sick with the charged up attack it has. Holy fuck! And I mean that literally since it's holy damage. Jeebus!

This Dex/Faith build I'm running with on my second toon is just destroying shit. It's optimized around Messmer's spear but I'm also running with the Backhand Blade as the changeup. And as awesome as the Ash weapon art for the spear is, I actually prefer the BB more. That Blind Spot ash is a...

First toon still has Bayle, Midra, Scadtree and last boss but I got tired of trying to try/juggle different builds on him. I decided to just stay with his primary Arc/Bleed build and bring in one of my other toons that was DLC-ready. Second toon is going Dex/Faith with the Backhand Blades for...

I had Maliketh, Horah Loux, and Elden Beast all already downed and had no issues accessing the DLC. The only thing I had not done to that point prior to starting the new content was actually initiate the final cutscene and start a NG+ at Roundtable Hold. I think what it boils down to is...

Not sure what you mean here but you can absolutely summon DLC spirits in old world main game. I used Black Knight Captain Huw vs Malenia to see how well he'd do so I assume this spirit is no different.

My Scadu was 11/7 or maybe 11/8 so a bit further along than when most seem to take him on. I had reached his SoG much earlier on in my playthrough (the name gave it away - Dark Chamber Entrance) but I had recalled some folks mentioning that once you zone in to his chamber, you break some...

Yeah that's arguably the only major complaint I have with the DLC is the emptiness at times. A good example is Abyssal Woods, which I think has a cool and fitting theme to it but it feels a bit too big for that design, especially with nothing really in there except for a couple of cookbooks. You...

I took a handful of stabs at Midra this afternoon. Got him to 60% or so a couple times. Seems doable for me with a bit more experience. Finally decided to attempt Messmer. Got him on the second attempt. Got him to about 40% health with just me and Mimic. Dodged rolled right onto the NPC summons...

Finally met Metyr and actually one-shot her. The fight didn't seem particularly challenging and her health was surprisingly low. Can mark her off the list of remaining bosses though. Ditto for Putrescent Knight, which totally shocked me. I hadn't even attempted him again since I first...

So true. This post made me think of the Mausoleum bosses in particular though. Of the four of them, two were super frustrating for me while the other two were both one-shots for me. In fact, one of those (Red Bear maybe?) would've been a one-shot, no hit had he not landed a one-two punch combo...

I FINALLY put that pig fucker Commander Gaius down after what I calculate to be roughly 90 mins to 2 hours of trying over the last two days. Probably 50+ total attempts, roughly half of which were instadeaths just zoning into the battlefield and not timing the dodge roll properly. So, yeah...

Do you mean the Fissure area with the ball worm things that shoot lasers from their eyes? If so, that one got me at first too. Thankfully, I learned long ago in this game to always carry a bow of some sort for some ranged attacks so those weren't too bad to put down from distance.

I have a few questions relating to replay for anyone who might know. What happens to your progress in the DLC area and/or your toon when you start a NG+ in the base game? Also, can you do a NG+ in the DLC? If so, same question. And do you lose anything?

I've spent the last hour+ trying to finish off Commander Gaius. I once got him to around 60% on my 4th or 5th try so decided to keep at it. Eventually got him to 50%, then 30-40% numerous attempts and finally around 15% or so. The majority of the time that he kills me it's from a boar attack...

The one about Bayle‘s connection to Placidusax is some epic next level of awesomeness! Holy shit FromSoft! /bow
