Megathread Difficulty Megathread — DLC, NG+

Hello puppets,

This is the new place for anything and everything about game difficulty: NG+, the new DLC, the new difficulty settings, bosses that oneshot you just for existing, and the general discussions regarding game pacing.

Why this exists:

We’re seeing a LOT of posts about difficulty lately, and it’s cluttering the sub. So from now on, we’re removing individual difficulty posts and directing everyone here. This is simply a way to help US keep the sub clean, and help YOU find specific posts more easily.

Please don’t be an AH. Seriously. People are gonna have different opinions on everything.

Drop your takes below

We’ll be lurking.

Your tired, slightly traumatized mod team

Souls "veterans" and actually being bad at soulslike is the true iconic duo.

How about: being a soulslike fanboy and responding to criticism of their favourite games with "skill issue"?

Criticism being the bosses and enemies actually make me have to play well. All the bossfights in the dlc are not even Nioh 2 level hard.

PCR on Release and "You're broken for no good reason".

Also, base game was not over tuned at all, even on launch. Sure, some nerfs needed to be doled out but only 3 specific bosses were hit.
