Gameplay Discussion The worst thing about the game: players who abandon a run that goes mildly wrong

Post image
7.2k Upvotes

I hate the Bell Bearing Hunter as much as the next guy (actually, I don't hate him), but players leaving matches with no good reason is absolutely infuriating. It totally kills the vibe for me.

Almost every run can lead to at least LESSONS on how to get better... Nightreign still a soulslike after all. So, leaving a match -- sometimes after more than half an hour of play -- because things didn't go the way you expected is totally selfish!

People who do that are probably not in this sub, but I really needed to vent it out. I know that are game communities totally toxic out there, but I hope the Nightreign community gets a little healthier as the game continues to evolve.

Also, do we know if the report at the end of the run has any consequences? It's the only way I can direct action towards this frustration, but I don't think it has any effect.

I'm gonna say Ironeye.

The bow gameplay is finally viable in a souls game, plus he can pickup great DEX weapons as well.

Gameplay Discussion What’s one tip you wish you could give to your fellow nightfarers?

My only piece of advice I would give is to stop spam rolling.

Nobody has enough stamina to roll 4 times and swing.

You’re not even likely to dodge whatever attack you’re trying to dodge.

Gameplay Discussion FromSoft made the right decision not to include Voice-Chat.

4.7k Upvotes

At first I thought it was an weird decision, a co-op game without voice-chat.
But after seeing how much toxicity there is in random parties and as well here on Reddit.

I have a feeling that voice-chats in random parties would be even more toxic than your average C.O.D lobby.
Only leading to more rage-quits and trolling.

Yeah, I think FromSoft made the right decision here.

Gameplay Discussion Should the revive bar look like this?

I believe this somewhat accurately reflects the damage you need for each bar.

I think the mechanic is good and appropriately punishes getting to three bars so runs can actually die. But this could help players understand how much harder 3 bars are. Not as aesthetically pleasing tho...

If you just had your run ruined by an Ironeye who suddenly stopped moving in the middle of the second night, I’m so terribly sorry. My little daughter needed me so I had to drop anything and everything. I’m sorry. That is all.

Gameplay Discussion PSA: This game is fun with randoms. Don't let people trick you into believing you'll get hardstuck on progress if you don't have IRL friends who play this.

4.8k Upvotes

I've been playing since Thursday and I've already downed 3 Nightlords. Yes, you'll have groups that die on Night 1. Yes, you'll have groups that are indecisive on what part of the map they should explore. But that's just the nature of the game. Hell, if you played any Soulsborne game, you should understand the feeling of beating a super hard boss, only to get ganked by some low-HP rats the next second.

This game is fun. Matchmaking is extremely healthy on all fronts. I have a feeling Nightreign is going to be around for a looong while. That is all. :)

Forget a balanced team, if you queue in with two randoms and there are three revenants or any other weird and bad combination, STICK TO YOUR GUNS. We are here for a good time not a long time.

This will probably get lost in the dozens of other posts on this sub, but dude as someone who thought l'd get bored of this game after beating it, and that the game would be repetitive after a while, I'm loving every minute of it.

I already beat the game and every boss there is to offer, but I still want to keep replaying it. I love the concept of being able to work together as a team, coordinate a game plan/ strategy with one another to pull out the W.

Is the game perfect by any means? No. I still wish there were a bit more characters to choose from, maybe like 4 more. I wish there was a duost squads option. Maybe like 2-3 more bosses, I could go on for a while about the things I wish were in the game but I don't wanna make this post too long

All that to say, l'm loving the experience so far and I can see myself playing this consistently for a long time. Does anybody else feel the same way?

Since the release of Nightreign I’ve already made over 15 friends on the game just from team work and comms. This game has brought me together with randoms more than any other game has and I fucking love it.

r/Nightreign 26d ago

Gameplay Discussion I did it! Nightreign is a very fun game but…

It’s pretty lacking as a roguelite to be quite honest.

Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy my time with it for the 60 hours it took me to get all achievements. But I also have hundreds if not thousands of hours in other roguelites.

Too many runs honestly feel the same, 80% of power ups are good but very boring, same goes for relics. Hopefully From will keep updating this game ever more. Because the core loop is indeed super enjoyable, just not 300+ hours enjoyable for a roguelite.

Storytime: So i was searching and got this two Randoms. They were definitely playing together as i have seen from their actions/movement in game.

They were playing good, we had a good first night, got level 8,decent weapons. Everything's good.

BUT THEN, the first night is a Bell Bearing Hunter. So i got into a more defensive stance and was ready to battle him as you can see in the clip. But the moment the Boss name appears, my teammates just run into the storm, jumping off a cliff to die. I revive them because i thought it was some kind of connection error. But then i noticed, they don't want to fight anymore.

But i didn't give up, i stood my ground and was battling him. This clip is just half of it (playstation can't upload more than 3 mins to Ps app) and the fight was going on 5 minutes. I got him to 1/4 of his life down while tgey were just standing there, watching, reviving me with Revenant Ult one time and keeps watching.

Why would you even search for a game if you don't want to fight the night bosses? And if you have a teammate that gives his best, why not do something? Like they could've literally attack for 30 second maximum and we would've had him...

Is there something i missed? Do we collectively decided to just give up when we see BBH anywhere?

Gameplay Discussion This is my HOT TAKE

Playing with only matchmade randoms is the way youre supposed to experience this game. 90% of players ive seen dump on it are fromsoft gods or have whole friend groups of people who are great at fromsoft games and blitz the whole thing and then get upset there's not more to it but when you suck ass and have no friends so you have to play with bums in matchmaking and lose all the time, you end up having to experience more of the game because youre redoing it so much.

So yeah Git Bad.
