What games are you playing while waiting for 1.0?

I just bought the game and played for a couple of hours. I think I'm going to wait for 1.0. The game is phenomenal and I don't want to burn myself out of it before official release. I also bought No Rest For The Wicked and I am in the same spot.

So, to make the wait more tolerable, do you have any games to recommend? It doesn't have to be in the same genres, but it can. As long as we talking good games. :)

I hate these two with a burning passion

I 100% die in this game because I'm just playing it to relax most of the time. But my relaxation is spat on anytime I have to deal with these two abominations.

From the Spinners sneaking up on me and hitting me to the Gravedigger hitting me in the face with his shovel. Out of all the enemies (I haven't played on witches cave or marsh yet) they drive my up a wall.

So I Need Three Conditions for… Reduced Damage?

"Non-critical shots knock back and do heavily reduced damage on shocked near-death enemies."
Wait, so I need the enemy to have the Lightning status, be near death, and then I hit them with a non-critical shot—and the payoff is... a knockback and less damage? That sounds like a terrible deal... Any chance this could get a rework?

Massive shadow glitches on Linux

I did a relatively long pause and wanted to play Witchfire again with it's new content and improvements.

Sadly I got massive shadow(?) glitches in my game now. I don't know if this is exclusively for Linux. I'm running CachyOS and use the proton-cachyos.

I did not got this glitches on earlyer versions of the game.

Anyone else with this kind of glitches? Maybe someone knows a fix?

This game is absolutely awesome!

Velmorne had been really difficult for a while and I just made an executioner disengage and run away lol. The watch watch commander was doing that too but getting the executioner to run was fun since he was a challenging enemy for me at first.

I really like this game. I think for new game plus it would be awesome if we could use two items to make a new one which takes aspects from both base items.

Build suggestions for disability/accessibility

So! I am blind in my right eye. I lack depth perception, and this game has a looot of visual noise. Can I get build suggestions to compensate? Because I keep getting blindsided (Literally) by enemies. Because I have to choose to look at the map vs keeping an eye on my surroundings. I have text size maxed, and enemy highlights on, but I still struggle to read the popups reliably, and struggle to pick out enemies from the background. The directional arrows help a lot, but it's often tricky. I have just started trying to conquer Iron Gate. I hated my time in Velmorne (Mostly because I found it depressing lol)

I currently use,
Striga,

Koschei

Falling Star

Relic: Parasite

Fetish: Belladona

Ring : Dynamo

Stormball and Rotten Fiend (Just got burning stake. Am gonna level it.)

Faith build/providence bead, blessed hits, and blessed aim.

This game has no business being THAT good

It's nearly been 10 years since this game has been announced, back in 2017. I promised myself I would wait for 1.0, but yesterday, I finally decided I could not wait any longer. Turns out I'm even more hyped for final release now.

How good is this game like wth????! Such satisfying progression systems. And the gamefeel. And the art. And the ATMOSPHERE. Probably the most underrated rogue-lite. Unique flavour really.

So once I judge/absolve a fallen preyer, they’re gone forever?

aside from getting a bead out of it, which you have limited choices and tons of those already, what’s the point? The Fallen Preyers give a separate buff and you can level up to carry multiple of them… so if I judge them all, I just lose access to that mechanic?

also, which preyers give beads worth using?

Finished the EA game - Witchery build

So i decided to finally go to Witch Mountain and managed to clear the final zone on my first run.

Overall thoughts on this game: It's absolutely brilliant!
Haven't had this much fun with a SP game in quite a while, and i missed it. I've played the fuck out of it this past month (and i played a good bit around the Velmorne update), and it's been so good.

I went with a witchery-focused build for this run and i think this stat is quite possible the strongest in the game. Guns are good and so far i love every one i've tried, i might make a tier list soon.
But i don't feel like any gun is quite as powerful as being able to non-stop spam freeze on anything around you and Iron Cross absolutely obliterating any bigger group of enemies.

This combined with Kirkfane and Cricket just makes you feel like an absolute maniac, dashing around with infinite ammo and brining the wrath of God on anything that comes in front of you.

The Striga is also a phenomenal weapon because of the long-range damage it can do and the AOE due to the double element. This all gets further boosted by the high witchery and Ailment-related beads.

I highly recommend the Witchery build to anyone, not just because it's strong, but because it's incredibly fun.

I'm gonna proceed with doing torments and levelling up some more weapons, because every weapons and spell in this game so far has been so unique and awesome.

Props to The Astronauts team for this masterpiece, can't wait for the full release so i can replay this all over again!

Found This Game Last Week, I Can't Put It Down...

So, I have a couple questions for you veterans out there.

First, I love the Destiny series especially D2, RIP.

Why is the gunplay so similar? Same devs or something?

Also, why isn't this game huge? Meaning, why did I stumble across this by accident.

It's absolutely amazing. Anytime I attempt to play something else, all I do is think about this game.

So now I'm in what I assume is near the end of the game cause the difficulty has skyrocketed.

I went Butcher. What are the best weapon/gear combos for the end game bosses?

That's where I'm stuck. They are bullet sponges.

Any help is appreaciated.

Whisper has a hidden stat/mechanic

Doesn't seem like anyone else has noticed and i haven't seen anyone mention it anywhere but while you have the demonic weapon "Whisper" as your active weapon your base walking speed increases to either match or be pretty damn near sprinting speed.
it was already the only demonic weapon i use and now that i've tested it to see it's true i just can't justify not using the nyoom pistol

Favorite Arcanas?

Just wondering what you guys like for arcanas. Been avoiding the wiki to not spoil myself (took me a while to figure out Duelist lmao) but I'm just curious.

Currently at Gnosis 3 and I tend to really like Last Elixir cause I'm bad.

Right now I'm running a Faith build with Hunger and Blessed Shot beads and Ammo Preservation and I'm having a blast. Thus stuff like Dash Reload, Kill Reload and Critical Reload are my goats right now.

Not sure what spells I like quite yet. Still in the process of leveling Mysteria so I got no input on these ones.

What do you guys like?

Stone Golem too rare to spawn now

Tried for 3 days...max corruption...devine chests...stimulants.

Got world corruption to 100% about 5 times in a row and he didn't spawn...think I may give up. He had spawned a few weeks ago, not anymore.

I just want your key bro.

Incantation 3 drop rate in velmorne?

Wiki says it’s 60% for each of the velmorne trio.

I’m currently at gnosis3, but 20+ kills and only ever got 3. Is the wiki outdated? Or are they limited to one each per playthrough?

Im probably just dumb but how does the Falling Star work?

I read somewhere that the trick with it is to mark an enemy then shoot it into the sky so the homing shot will hit them for max damage.

I must be doing something wrong cause I do that seem to know how to mark anything and I just end up wasting bullets.

Also for Vulture it's just a point and shoot gun that fires a projectile that pierces through then bounces to other targets right? Nothing too crazy?
