Why don't they just make Larval Tears unlimited?

It stops growing in difficulty on the 7th playthrough or NG+6 (ng7) and it's very unsubstantial. I've beaten all the games except elden ring on lvl 100 or 120 builds depending on the game and it's easy too, the growth is small between playthroughs.

How the fuck are people not bored being on ng+

>Have 36 of these useless things

Life is great when you're an everyman you flip flopping faggots

This got patched out in the second or third patch.

I don't care to change my build but I used like five in order to complete Goldmask's questline because I kept fucking up how much int/faith I needed

this

I wonder too. I barely made it to volcano manor and I realize I'm fully bored with this shit now. I have every weapon, armor set, and talisman worth a fuck and the only excitement I get is fags doing giveaways with items that are a bitch to farm. The most fun I get from this now is seeing my scrub ass friend get his shit pushed in.

What nigger? If you're close you just use a soreseal and Godrick's great rune? What do you mean you fucked it up, did you accidentally go 99 in arcane?

you can pretty much just hit the incantation requirement with buffs and items alone. unless you truly dumped int in which case you kind of played the game wrong

I just do the main content in NG+ cycles so I can rush to get somber smithing stones.

I would be bored with the game too if I had every armor and weapon from trading, you sound like a normie who doesn't deserve the game

Yes, that's the point. At that point, might as well make them unlimited

NG+ is hilarious in how fast you can actually go through when ignoring all the optional side shit you don't need anymore. It took me like 45 minutes to reach inner Leyndell.

Why not just stay in journey one and use the mining bells to buy them?

that doesn't make any sense

just because you'll eventually be level 500 doesn't mean the choices you make at level 15 have no impact

Backup your save and reload it everytime you get bored of your current build

oh shit really
nevermind then

Back in MY day, we played through Dark Souls from the beginning, both ways, every time we wanted to try a new build and we LIKED IT.

back to wow, tranny

You might want to learn to read you retarded faggot. I said for items that are a bitch to FARM. Do you farm the majority of weapons and armors in this game faggot? Or do you find them by playing the game and by proxy telling you I'm bored because I've done so. Holy shit you motherfuckers are embarrassments to basic comprehension

Never touched it in the others but Demon's had a large jump, was it an outlier?

Yes it does because you just level up whatever stat you start to need for a weapon or spell since you don't need to worry about a cap other than being 99 in every stat. But I know what you mean.

same feeling here.

discovering limgrave? nope, fuck you. lets go straight to Margit. but I enjoy it also that way. no need to farm anything. just me, the bosses and my giga weapons.

>why isn't it like Diablo 3 infinite respec
>choices don't matter
>everyone is the same
>everything is meaningless
Retarded fags.

I beat the first cycle pretty slow over the course of a month. Ill do the same with this one or two weeks since I pretty much know almost everything now.

Wow you're a bad lmfao

Make it so that you only get infinite respec in post game/new game +.

Yeah NG+ sucks in every Souls game but DS2, where they tried something new by giving you new items and adding new items and red phantoms. I wish they took that from DS2 because NG+ is such trash in From games.

Nioh does NG+ much better IMO, I wish the Souls games would copy off of those games and at least scale enemies to your level on each NG+ cycle and add some kind of challenging end game content like the underworld depths in Nioh 2.

Even something randomly generated with tougher bosses and enemies like the Chalice Dungeons in BB would be nice, just any kind of challenge after the main game, because NG+ is boring as fuck in ER.

Boss rush in this game is still fucking boring. Face it, nothing you do in NG+ is gonna have the same value and playing it is just a cheap way to bring up your hype again. Running to the boss is fun till you realize you can literally kill them all without any effort

Demons is the one I never played so I don't know, but I can say with certainty I never had a problem in NG+6 as a sl 120 in any game. Based off the chart I've seen for elden rings growth, it's actually the lowest amount of growth and by a lot.

No shit cause Nioh has a Diablo loot system so its stupid easy to create a NG+ with new things. Elden Ring fucked up by making everything findable in 1st run, even +1 and +2 talismans which should be saved for NG+

I meant the +10 ones you can't buy.

"I'll eventually be able to use everything" is true, but "I can't use everything right now" is ALSO true. Thinking "they don't care about builds" just because you can eventually have 99 in every stat is stupid, because 99% of the game (100% for most players) is played below that level.

Am I the only one who likes clearing every cave/dungeon/crypt in NG+

I just like checking the boxes off

You literally only need int. Faith isn't required

They require alot of money and ppl and their dumb monkey brains just want to press the button when the game ends so almost no one stocks up.

I'd say you can just cheat them in, but if you're cheating anyway you might as well just skip that step and alter your stats directly.

They could at least do something like the chalice dungeons they had in BB, that worked well and added a decent amount of stuff to do even after finishing the main game.

Mainly it just sucks that From makes no effort to spice up NG+, they could add new enemies or scale them up better to make them tougher, or give them new patterns and more aggressive AI at the very least, but NG+ cycles are a joke until like +7.

I did that in my 1st run, sucks for me cause NG+ is a crapshoot now but its how I play

I feel like they let the gaming drought and the legendary elden ring being real got to their heads. You can clearly what they gave effort to and how its just became a rushed slog upon late game. That just screams devs who were taking the time, but because papa zaki needs his yen they had to hurry and wrap it up.

I'm a sucker to cheese bosses and used like 5 on my first playthrough:
>started INT
>changed to full VIGOR to kill Rykard
>changed back to full INT
>changed for VIGOR/STR giga chad against Melania so I could stun-lock her without worries
>changed to INT/ARC to abuse bleed on some late game bosses
>changed to full INT to kill radagon/elden beast
So I really want to know who would change 18 times the build, OP is a retarded, the biggest problem is the number of dragon smithing stones to +25/+10 available on game, if you use a shield, bow, staff, and 3 weapons you used like 1/3 of all availables final upgrades and a lot of those dragon smithing stones are only available if you finish a questline.
All problems are on the weapon upgrade system, its sad how our characters can't do shit without a fully upgraded weapon.

Speak for yourself. I can handle shit fine with a +9 or +24.

The fuck are those things? Beans? Embryos? They don't seem like embryos as they're thrown around like trash.

Because they really feel the need to limit how many respecs you can do ever since DS2. DS2 let you "bypass" it by farming ascetics and getting unlimited respec items. But DS3 hardcapped it in the code or something to 5 respecs.

these and rune arcs are dumb as fuck

Because From insist on carrying around every stupid fucking decision they've ever made unless they have to get rid of it to facilitate a new thing they want to add

Seriously. Rune arcs piss me off so badly
>hey remember the ember system? Well its back but worse!

I remember when DOS2 had unlimited respecs and Yea Forums predictably called it casualization.

This is weirdly true. Fromsoft is just a reverse Gamefreak. Whereas pokemon will drop shit after 1 generation, From games will hold onto every fucking thing they've done unless it needs to be overhauled for a new gimmick.

its just so pointless not just making great runes an equip slot, esp since they're plot related

What about not sucking balls?
I went STR/END the entire fucking game.
>Need several weapons to upgrade
Your existence is sad and I have no idea how you enjoy playing the game on Autism Difficulty.

This, I went Dex/Str and never looked back. We've reached a point where respecing for 1 boss is valid because you're too shit to survive a move or tank a hit.

i didnt use 1 in 200 hours
its such a shitty item for a game where you die a lot, especially on your first playthrough
and the game presents them as a big deal, since a lot of them are hard to reach or guarded by strong enemies, so it seems like a waste to use one, just to die to some ambush bullshittery 2 minutes later
just make the buff persist through death and last like 15min, so people will actually use them for bosses

Half the time I dont even remember them cause its an item that I have to activate EVERY FUCKING TIME.

I used 8 Rune arcs in my whole 3 Playthrough of the games, the first time not using them at all.
Why you need so many shitter arcs?
I bet you are that kind of faggot that went around with 99 humanities on DS as well.

>tfw thought it was a one time activation and didn't realize it until I got malenia's rune

I really doubt you guys killed all 120+ bosses with only one or two weapons.

Calm down you retarded faggot. Nowhere in the post did it say the person used the arcs like your retard ass assumes, only that the system is annoying. Do you need a hug faggot? Cause clearly you're reeking of
>look at me!
Congrats you used 8 arcs, do you want a pinned post or upvotes?

Just how many times do you need to respec your character, cuck?
I got, like, 20 larval tears without even trying, used maybe two.

>Used Flail until Caelid
>Swapped for Moonveil pre nerf
>Swapped to Godricks axe after moon nerf until Radagon where I used the Blasphemous Blade.

Gee shitter not hard at all huh.

Yes. What is your point?

how is it worse? it gives you way more shit for activation
