Anyone knows already which bosses were affected? I heard Nameless Puppet's eyes now glow before his dash.
Do you think it's better to start NG or NG+ to experience the changed game?
Early quartz without needing rising dodge and +5 boss weapon before BRB2 are huge
some elites and bosses keep attacking while you're down. It doesnt happen often but when it does it's frustrating so might as well spend of rising dodge than actually useless shit like bag and cube slots
Because you can get combo'd if you get knocked down, and there are a few enemies, like the shovel boys, that knock you down and keep hitting just as your default rising animation is playing, knocking you back down. >inb4 lmao just don't get hit lololol
Those are the only enemies I seen attack you while you're down, why was it so inconsistent anyway, sometimes I'd eat shit and live sometimes he'd do the follow up and instakill me. I still didn't buy rising dodge
I haven't played it, but i'm seriously disappointed with how little porn there is of this game. Like it's actually pathetic for a game with so much attention.
Cursed knight's halberd is a weapon I rarely see mentioned so I decided to try it out. It's pretty stylish and running r2->r1 is a nice combo. What are some other underrated weapons? Anyone tried the buffed weapons already?

Listen, games I hate should not be allowed on here, because anyone talking about something I hate is a still being paid by the company to advertise their garbage.
Unnecessary change to be honest.
The only thing that really punishes you while on the ground is the robot and there's like only 5 of them in the entire game. Getting knocked down in the game is rare enough so it should be punishing.
>bad design
Not at all. His attacks are easy to counter. If you got caught in his instakill move once you won't get caught in it again unless you're a shitter.
The pinoccio puppet probably has the worst design.
>being able to get up is fundamental
no its not its quality of life and should have stayed as an unlockable. it wasnt necessary to have to beat the game before all the nerfs and it definitely isnt necessary now
>no its not its quality of life and should have stayed as an unlockable
obviously the devs and community disagree on that, if it wasn't fundamental then there wouldn't be oneshot attacks that you can't avoid unless you have it.
bocking and dodging are fundamental
an ability to avoid being punished by a follow up attack is quality of life
those follow up attacks were specifically designed to punish you for getting knocked down and guide you to that unlockable ability should you want/need it
>Every knock down by a boss is an instant kill as they will follow up on you before you can get up >But you don't NEED the ability to get up, just never get knocked down, that was your fault

knock down by a boss is an instant kill as they will follow up on you before you can get up
false
victor is the only boss i can think of that actually has a knockdown punish and you can get up before it connects even without the ability
getting knocked down and losing about half your life is punishment, making you get up for 10 seconds whenever you get knocked down is unfun af, one of the reasons why i prefer BB over LoP is because your feels actualy strong and fast whera in LoP you play a 60 year old boomer unable to get of the ground. in BB you get abbilities that make your already strong cjaracter even stronger wheras in LoP you unlock them to make LoP not a total bitch by fixing shit that already should have been here in the first place
souls games and bb in particular are piss easy exactly because your character is mechanically strong from the start to the point that shitters pissed themselves in elden ring because of delayed attacks and enhanced tracking

The first time I got caught in a shovel-smash loop I wasn't mad, I thought it was funny.
But it's still objectively bad game design and for the best that they made the rising roll part of your base movement, which it should have been from the start.
>You have the same shit with str
no you don't, str weapons are slow af unless you use one of the faster ones say goodbye to small attack windows > instead of parry it ignores all the damage and then destroys 50% of boss' HP
you can use a str blade on a dex handle and get litteraly everything a str weapon does besides stagger buildup but with a faster moveset. i did several playthroughs with both and while str is strong af with weapons like holy ark dex just dominated in almost all points
>destroys 50% of boss' HP
Stop lying. Boss health pools are so massively inflated (even post patch) no single weapon build combo can melt hp like a bleed build in ER could.
both fables on wrench, noblesse oblige (ng+), buffed frozen feast etc deal massive damage. You gotta build for it
>very specefic ng+ build

1 weapon I named is specific to NG+. Other strength setups work great on ng already.
You get katana in the endgame too btw.

previous patch was already "ydbtg" material, disregard that and just have fun with it.
But don't use the boring crutch called police baton handle and you'll be good.
I just beat the (I assume first) black brotherhood fight yesterday. I have the starter greatsword handle attached to the wrench head I found in a chest. Game has been super easy so far with these two together. Add in my spider-man web smash arm and I feel pretty unstoppable atm. Am I beating the game so far?
summon and 2 healing cubes is enough to beat every single boss.
just mash the boss while the summon takes the aggro, heal when needed. he will not die and you can not lose to a boss, unless you're absolute dogshit.

It's anything but soulless, there's a shitton of useless details in the game that were put there because the devs are clearly autistically passionate about souls games.
>Rising Dodge is now default
Was about to buy this when I booted up and resumed playing tomorrow. Does this mean I just have the ability now? Or new games only?
I 0layed the demo when it came out, my biggest complaint was that the parry windows seemed really inconsistent between enemies. This get fixed at all or has it not been an issue at release?
You can literally skip the cutscenes. Like this had got to be the dumbest complaint for a Souls like ever. Plus it’s not as bad as Lords of the Floppin prompting the opening cutscene every time you enter the fight.
>new cosmetics >directly saying they buffed one of my favorite weapons (the puppet sabre) >more quartz to mess around with + rising dodge now a default ability
I wish they were more specific about weapon balance adjustments in the notes. but still, good patch. I will probably do another playthrough once the date of the DLC gets announced.
the aesthetic is still incredibly generic feeling which is why this is still firmly a low A high B tier game and will stay there. Puppets are not aesthetically interesting.
Seeing the playerbase of every souls game, even lord of the turd and purely singleplayer game like Sekiro still much higher than Lies of p i don't think so lol. Steampunk is some cringeshit, same with French
Truth, the ending levels really needed more puppets. I also wanted to see more "weaponized puppets" like the dogs with saw/drill/bomb heads. Like imagine the butler bots with a rotorblade arm or babybots on wheels.
Have you looked at the gallery? The enemy designs are extremely detailed and the bosses look really fucking cool when you see the detail. Let me guess you prefer the 5 enemies of lords of the sloppin?
The Puppets are unfortunately the best content of the game, because after the puppets/steampunk horror fairground aesthetic you then get the incredibly uninspired Dude Crystals, Featureless Cave and Featureless Cave Pretending To Be An Aztec Ruin. In terms of environmental design everything worth seeing is shown in the trailers and is a simply copy of existing ideas.
Just beat Laxasia, great fight. Couldn't figure out how to parry that dive attack after she launches 6-7 projectiles at you, so I just made her eat 3 Deus Ex Machinas every time she went for it. Works pretty good.
kind of gave up on having normal Lies of P threads. Its either "XDDD this game le MOGS le (from soft game here)" or like two gooner fagtards spamming the thread.
>making an extremely early game ability available by default is equivalent to "easy mode"
and dont even pretend like you arent popping rising dodge early because you already know how shit the phase 3 abilities are.
don't bother, people like him play it once and think they are hardcore shit and any kind of balance change is "easy mode". i played it dozen times by now and think the changes are good and were needed
an extremely early game ability available by default is equivalent to "easy mode"
No, nerfing every monster and buffing the player multiple times over is equivalent to easy mode.
>Top bag: Estus and Grindstone ONLY >Bottom bag: Throwables/consumables >D-pad: Lantern, homeward bone, blue potion, yellow potion (fable and legion recharges also acceptable over the potions)
do we all agree on this?
>Played through the game 3 times >My last ending is the real boy ending >Everyone in the hotel is puppets now
If the DLC come out, should I restart on NG+++ before going to the DLC? Will my puppet hotel dwellers have an impact on DLC story?
>boss amulets 10+kg because OP (not realy) >boss weapon weights as much as any other weapon on average meanwhile they are fucking busted (not realy tbh)

This will never stop. P being an attractive character has given the gayz cart blanche to basically spaz the fuck out. It doesn’t help that build diversity is not as prominent in this game as with other Souls likes so we have nothing to yap about.

“WTF! UNBALANCED TRASH, OVERHAUL THE ENTIRE GAME AND NERF THE SHOVEL ROBOT”
the stunlock only happened with unlucky timing on his follow up attacks. Normally it was possible to dodge out of it to the left without the rising dodge upgrade. I guess most people tried to roll away
Bro if you’re talking about Scrapped Watchmen please have a nice day now. His grab on NG does no damage (it should do more on base game) and it’s fucking easy to react too unless you’re autopiloting. If you’re talking about Victor/Swamp Monster/Corrupted Parade Master, get gud.
holy ark sword is fast, has high damage and the non charged r2 is great for poking while the charged r2 is still quite fast. all of this assuming you transform it with it's fable. good str legion is aegis

Do I need to pick all correct choices to get the best ending or do I just need enough? Is there a certain amount that is known? I mostly just want to know if I can kill the guy at the tram elevator thing before the church to get the costume.

OK?
Yes it was stupid that it wasn't unlocked by default so perma-flatten droids combo you to death from one hit on release day, but I already unlocked that on the day of release. Why would I reinstall the game just because you fixed it a month later? It needed to be there on release not after everybody is already done with the game.
Anyway marketing thread.
Just like every Fromsoft game, that's a feature, not a bug, it's the "easy mode" people always beg for without realizing it's right in front of them. This game even gives you items to heal/buff your phantom.
Only in Bloodborne was it sometimes actually worse to bring a summon due to the increased HP of the boss. If you summon Solaire for Gwyn he basically solos him.
not to sound like muh feminazi but goddamn, it speaks volumes when the og book fairy was cooler and had better lore and involvement that whatever the game did to Sophia
At least they'd had made her a evil dom mommy like her book counterpart, god fucking dammit
I am curious how they’re gonna balance the DLC. The only other Souls game with a skill tree and linear progression was Sekiro and that never got any DLC. On top of this LoP already plays like a charmless run version of the game. Thinking about how the phase 7 P-Organ gives you the ability to just negate the biggest BS moves all bosses/enemies have (fury attacks) I wonder if they’ll take that into account. DLC will either be relatively difficult but mostly the same as base game or so overturned bosses are gonna be on some Malenia shit to overcompensate for sweaties who on are on their 10th run.
i mean bloodborne existed with chalice dungeons and OP gems before hunters dlc with some of the harrdest bosses in the game still, so they'll balance around ng, probably +9 weapon territory if I had to guess, or maybe just straight +10 assuming players stuck in ng after beating nameless.
hopefully every boss is laxasia 2nd phase tier (but hope not every boss is 2 phase bullshit, just have 1 phase really strong sluts)
What was updated?
Some balance changes and a few new costumes.
Check the patch notes for details.
By the sounds of it some of the instant transmission attack timings like laxasia and nameless puppet if I had to guess. Free cosmetics and a few extra early quartz in the shop.

Anyone knows already which bosses were affected? I heard Nameless Puppet's eyes now glow before his dash.
Do you think it's better to start NG or NG+ to experience the changed game?
Early quartz without needing rising dodge and +5 boss weapon before BRB2 are huge
forgot: also the jump that Manus does goes way lower now
I beat it without rising dodge and don't see when that would have been useful. I don't know why you'd say getting that early is huge?
some elites and bosses keep attacking while you're down. It doesnt happen often but when it does it's frustrating so might as well spend of rising dodge than actually useless shit like bag and cube slots
Because you can get combo'd if you get knocked down, and there are a few enemies, like the shovel boys, that knock you down and keep hitting just as your default rising animation is playing, knocking you back down.
>inb4 lmao just don't get hit lololol
Those are the only enemies I seen attack you while you're down, why was it so inconsistent anyway, sometimes I'd eat shit and live sometimes he'd do the follow up and instakill me. I still didn't buy rising dodge
I dunno, I'm still on NG. I'm like halfway up the tower on the alchemists' island.
Good change. Rising dodge is basically a core mechanic they shouldn’t have locked until you’re around BRB1

how much did they buff summons and other stuff since release? I heard the game is quite a bit easier since then
summon and 2 healing cubes is enough to beat every single boss.
just mash the boss while the summon takes the aggro, heal when needed. he will not die and you can not lose to a boss, unless you're absolute dogshit.

You shouldn't. It's more like Sekiro, not Souls. It has hard bosses with parry and no interesting world/level design or exploration
They've changed half the game by this point with these updates.

I expected NG+ Door guardian to take 3 fatals to kill, but frozen feast killed him in 1 fatal + a bit of damage after it. Nice

this too, but I tried with another weapon before and 1 fatal didn't do nearly as much damage. Frozen feast did more work than fatals buff

Puppets are just robots with a steampunk twist
sterampunk is an abomination

yea doesnt feel the same stabbing a puppet vs stabbing a humanoid and seeing blood effects and gore.
It's better than "generic dark fantasy world" like every Souls games or even recent clones like Lords of the Fallen.
Seeing the playerbase of every souls game, even lord of the turd and purely singleplayer game like Sekiro still much higher than Lies of p i don't think so lol. Steampunk is some cringeshit, same with French
The puppets were the best part of the game. You can tell a lot of work was put into making their animations very creepy and inhuman.
In fact I would say the game gets a lot less interesting halfway through when you stop fighting puppets.
Truth, the ending levels really needed more puppets. I also wanted to see more "weaponized puppets" like the dogs with saw/drill/bomb heads. Like imagine the butler bots with a rotorblade arm or babybots on wheels.
Have you looked at the gallery? The enemy designs are extremely detailed and the bosses look really fucking cool when you see the detail. Let me guess you prefer the 5 enemies of lords of the sloppin?
The Puppets are unfortunately the best content of the game, because after the puppets/steampunk horror fairground aesthetic you then get the incredibly uninspired Dude Crystals, Featureless Cave and Featureless Cave Pretending To Be An Aztec Ruin. In terms of environmental design everything worth seeing is shown in the trailers and is a simply copy of existing ideas.
>What do we think of it?
Casual game becomes even more casual. I was half-drowsing during my NG+ run due to how easy the game is.
Sophia paizuri
Just beat Laxasia, great fight. Couldn't figure out how to parry that dive attack after she launches 6-7 projectiles at you, so I just made her eat 3 Deus Ex Machinas every time she went for it. Works pretty good.
I just started holding L1 the moment I saw her move. worked most of the time
can coomers stop being fucking annoying in every thread? no one cares about your jerk off material
missing some puppet joints
kind of gave up on having normal Lies of P threads. Its either "XDDD this game le MOGS le (from soft game here)" or like two gooner fagtards spamming the thread.
homosexual asiatics should have just added an easy mode instead of ruining the game for everyone else
>making an extremely early game ability available by default is equivalent to "easy mode"
and dont even pretend like you arent popping rising dodge early because you already know how shit the phase 3 abilities are.
don't bother, people like him play it once and think they are hardcore shit and any kind of balance change is "easy mode". i played it dozen times by now and think the changes are good and were needed
an extremely early game ability available by default is equivalent to "easy mode"
No, nerfing every monster and buffing the player multiple times over is equivalent to easy mode.
they are slight number changes. someone getting filtered by this game will still get filtered by the usual shit, who cares
The biggest crime is just how hard they buffed the npc summon. He's an unstoppable tank now.
>Top bag: Estus and Grindstone ONLY
>Bottom bag: Throwables/consumables
>D-pad: Lantern, homeward bone, blue potion, yellow potion (fable and legion recharges also acceptable over the potions)
do we all agree on this?
I don't agree with gacha tranime pedos.
i just beat the game 4 days ago
romeo would not do that to him
This. Romeo is a gentle lover especially when it comes to Pcarlo
>beat nameless puppet first try in ng, ng+ and ng++ wih no cheese
>die 30 times to victor
Is there a list of weapons changes in the patch notes/did they make the homosexual mine useful yet?
>Played through the game 3 times
>My last ending is the real boy ending
>Everyone in the hotel is puppets now
If the DLC come out, should I restart on NG+++ before going to the DLC? Will my puppet hotel dwellers have an impact on DLC story?
please stop talking about literal off-topic homosexualry
Boss weapons are too overpowered
>boss amulets 10+kg because OP (not realy)
>boss weapon weights as much as any other weapon on average meanwhile they are fucking busted (not realy tbh)
never made sense to me
How do you fags equip more than 2 amulets without going over the weight limit?
By using the weight limit increasing amulet.
capacity is the best stat
15-20 cap w/ havels ring is where I aimed on my first playthrough i think
>Want to talk about Lies of P
>Threads are infested with homosexuals and trannies who love looking at little boys
Can you guys fuck off and let people enjoy the game without your gay shit all over the place?
P is not a little boy though
Is he wrong though? you guys are probably real pedos kek
Is P an underaged toddler?
Bro like P is just 2b but for gays. Nothing pedo about it my nigga.
and for very desperate gals
I thought 9S was the robot for gays.
No. I am heterosexual and I love him.
9S x P lewds when?
who tops?
Either both top and they frot, or both bottom and they snuggle and kiss.
>little boys
Where? P is of legal age
ah yes, a "little boy"
come on
shota Carlo fans can burn in hell though
>help me Im being oppressed for being straight
Whatever
the psychology behind it is that dudes feel uncomfortable when its sexual talk about other dude..I guess??
They always have a victim complex and act like theyre being attacked.
Most trannies are agp straight guys with a lesbian fetish obsession. They're your problem not mine.
i SWEAR I was normal before this game gave me a thing for puppetboys...
Short haired Pinocchio is best
agreed
Why is this puppet so erotic, bros?
Why did he build a puppet with skin marks?
you mean the freckles?
certain fan circles joke that Gep was a pedo/pervert and his obsession with Carlo wasnt exactly fatherly
Gep is so based
motherfucker could had fucked off to bumfuck nowhere and start over with his cutiepie robot son who could had taken care of his aging ass until his last days
but no, he had to fuck it up
beautiful face, love his hairstyle
because you are disgusting groomer bipedo
you're probably an ugly tranny with a nasty mole on his ribs
This will never stop. P being an attractive character has given the gayz cart blanche to basically spaz the fuck out. It doesn’t help that build diversity is not as prominent in this game as with other Souls likes so we have nothing to yap about.
>n the gayz
not to cape for chicks but there is a large amount of straight/bi women lusting for his robotcock as well
> Red fox: your style reminds of a legendary Stalker
> black rabbit: you're not a bastard nor a sweeper
Quality build is canon, pure mot/tech/adv builds didn't beat the game
>Get hit by grab attack that does twice your HP bar of damage
“this is balanced because it had a long windup and plenty of time to dodge it”
>Get hit by shovel robot after an equally long windup and get combo’d to death
“WTF! UNBALANCED TRASH, OVERHAUL THE ENTIRE GAME AND NERF THE SHOVEL ROBOT”
Who are you quoting?
Who are you quoting?
Who are you quoting?
Who are you quoting?
mad cuz bad
the stunlock only happened with unlucky timing on his follow up attacks. Normally it was possible to dodge out of it to the left without the rising dodge upgrade. I guess most people tried to roll away
Bro if you’re talking about Scrapped Watchmen please have a nice day now. His grab on NG does no damage (it should do more on base game) and it’s fucking easy to react too unless you’re autopiloting. If you’re talking about Victor/Swamp Monster/Corrupted Parade Master, get gud.
Geppeto is so lucky!!
never minded the shovel homosexual, the real bullshit are some of the animations tricking the player with a non sensical animation
>storung
>he gets fooled by puppets.
hello chaps name to me good motivity weapon and also motivity legion arm thanks
holy ark sword is fast, has high damage and the non charged r2 is great for poking while the charged r2 is still quite fast. all of this assuming you transform it with it's fable. good str legion is aegis
greatsword of fate -> full wrench -> frozen feast -> noblesse oblige.
just use aegis and puppet string for the final upgrade that gives you OP attack
i just used fulminis the entire game and later the amulet that improves arms scaling too
it's literally a hand-nuke
is it cracked yet?
did you enjoy the nude mod?
>nexus removes the nude mod of P
>the playable nude Soiphia mod is still up
Glad I got P's before they took it down, it's a very good mod.
Did they give a reason for that?
yes, whats the argument for keeping Sophia's boobs but not P's booty and dick??
Pinocchio is underage.
Pinocchio is a puppet
are you fucking serious?
that one theory about men fearing they might turn homo from seeing a handsome/good looking dude becomes stronger every day
truly a fascinating if annoying phenomena
That's literally a girl tho
I mean, nude mood made it obvious its a dude
my point still stands
is a <30% weight build fun?
><30% weight build fun?
lol enjoy wearing nothing with no weapon or amulets
you get more i-frames when under 30% bro
or something like that, makes the dodge way smoother
iframes are for shitters learn to parry
sure but unless you are into ng++ you won't reacj <30% without dropping basicaly all of your armor and amulets
what does the "p" stand for?
Pinocchio
This cutscene goes fucking hard bros
>What do we think of it?
PhysicalChads stay winning. 1.0 forever.
Wish there was at least one gun-type weapon, could have it attached to another weapon and have a slow rate of fire.
I'm not sure it works as a primary, but more gun type options for the legion arm would be nice.
Yeah and also a dagger legion arm for owl/walker-type moveset
There is a gun legion arm
is this game ridden with long cutscenes and text?
no, the couple short cutscenes it has can be skipped
Most of them are skippable and the ones that aren’t are short enough to not be frustrating
Is it fine to go with your gut or should you fully commit to 100% truth or lie at the start of a playthrough to not screw yourself?
I don't think there's ever a reason NOT to lie.
truth only achieves nothing imho
and you don't need to lie exclusively. You can just say whatever you feel like and you should be good
it's less about lying and more about being compassionate
>be compassionate by lying about being a puppet
>be compassionate by sending Alidoro to his death
>be compassionate by sending Alidoro to his death again
>Alidoro
it's about sending a suHispanicious weirdo away from the hotel
Do what a human would do.
well I'm a human and I think I would give up and go tug my little junk mickey to some p*rn haha so i dunno if thats accurate haha
>choose the dialogue I'd choose IRL
>fail to become a real boy
the real weird one for me was when simon asks that one question as to what they create with the alchemy in chapter 7. monster is the human answer and the other a lie but only one of them gives humanity
How to Puppet King and Raiden?
Dodge left. Helps a fuckton
Thanks. I've probably been too parry-centric and slept on dodge all game
Nah, Romeo is possibly the first boss in the game that favors dodging over parrying so heavily.
eldest is pretty steppable aswell besides his repeated sword over head slams
True, but he also is a fairly long fight that's helped massively by just breaking his weapon before anyone even spawns
would you a half-crispy puppet, bros??
dodge to left and fable art interrupt his firefowl dance attack when he buffs his wepon with fire
Puppet King = parry
Puppet King Raiden = dodge to the left
sex puppet!!
Do I need to pick all correct choices to get the best ending or do I just need enough? Is there a certain amount that is known? I mostly just want to know if I can kill the guy at the tram elevator thing before the church to get the costume.
you need just enough, if in doubt listen to some of the vinyls for extra humanity
Just enough, not sure how many exactly.
So what lies does he tell? It's in the title but all I've seen is soulsborn gameplay, where's the lying?
He only lies if you lie.
Ok but give me some examples. What are his biggest lies?
The glove questline, he tells a blatant lie at the end
>crazy and dying woman wants you to find her missing baby
>you find a puppet baby doll
>take it back to her and tell her it's cute when she asks what you think about her child
>you can tell an old lady whose face has been damaged by a disease that she's still pretty
>telling a man that the most dangerous spot in the city is actually a safe place to hide
There's dialogue choices where you either have to lie or tell the truth.
Cute outfit mods for P when
>Rising dodge is now a default ability
OK?
Yes it was stupid that it wasn't unlocked by default so perma-flatten droids combo you to death from one hit on release day, but I already unlocked that on the day of release. Why would I reinstall the game just because you fixed it a month later? It needed to be there on release not after everybody is already done with the game.
Anyway marketing thread.
The boss summon trivializes boss fights. I didn’t even have to fight Puppet King outright I just charged up heavy attacks while the spirit ate combos.
>second player character pulling aggro makes a boss easier
What fucking year is it? Don't use it if then, if it's a problem.
>The boss summon trivializes boss fights
Just like every Fromsoft game, that's a feature, not a bug, it's the "easy mode" people always beg for without realizing it's right in front of them. This game even gives you items to heal/buff your phantom.
Only in Bloodborne was it sometimes actually worse to bring a summon due to the increased HP of the boss. If you summon Solaire for Gwyn he basically solos him.
not to sound like muh feminazi but goddamn, it speaks volumes when the og book fairy was cooler and had better lore and involvement that whatever the game did to Sophia
At least they'd had made her a evil dom mommy like her book counterpart, god fucking dammit
I am curious how they’re gonna balance the DLC. The only other Souls game with a skill tree and linear progression was Sekiro and that never got any DLC. On top of this LoP already plays like a charmless run version of the game. Thinking about how the phase 7 P-Organ gives you the ability to just negate the biggest BS moves all bosses/enemies have (fury attacks) I wonder if they’ll take that into account. DLC will either be relatively difficult but mostly the same as base game or so overturned bosses are gonna be on some Malenia shit to overcompensate for sweaties who on are on their 10th run.
i mean bloodborne existed with chalice dungeons and OP gems before hunters dlc with some of the harrdest bosses in the game still, so they'll balance around ng, probably +9 weapon territory if I had to guess, or maybe just straight +10 assuming players stuck in ng after beating nameless.
hopefully every boss is laxasia 2nd phase tier (but hope not every boss is 2 phase bullshit, just have 1 phase really strong sluts)
I wanted to try a new weapon for NG+ but the katana is too fun
