@simple Can we have a spoiler free TL;DR?
-
8 new weapon types
-
100+ new weapons
-
There's new types of progression where you can find items that make you stronger but only in the DLC.
-
The first area of the DLC is as big as Limgrave
-
People got to see the first 2 legacy dungeons, say they're really good and there's lots of secrets.
-
The consensus is that it's more Elden Ring. Overall people are stoked.
I cannot wait. I've got hundreds of hours into elden ring already :/
I had a look at VaatiVidya's video on this (many spoilers, you are warned) and while this all looks incredibly awesome, all I can think about seeing some of the new weapons are how these things are going to be an absolute menace in PvP. Specifically the >!beast claws.!<
Good thing I'm already trash at PvP and am used to losing, because it looks like we're getting like 8 new variations on what made Rivers of Blood a meta pick. I'm not really that upset about it, PvP isn't my main draw to elden ring and I am going to have a ton of fun with these new weapons in single player, so I consider it a net positive, but even so, yeesh.
I was thinking more about how people can spam throwing weapons with zero mana cost. Pvp is definitely going to be interesting... But we'll wait and see, maybe they're not as powerful as they look.
Most common challenges and pitfalls first-time players get into when starting the game? I've tried it once but didn't hook me.
Just having a rough idea of where to go and what to do will help you out a lot. You can check beginners guides on YouTube if you're struggling.
