Improving Covenants and Multiplayer in Lords of the Fallen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 дек 2023
- Hey guys. I've been waiting to make a video about the state of multiplayer rewards in Lords of the Fallen in the hope that the devs would rebalance things in a later patch. Well, that "later patch" has just been released, and while it's a step in the right direction, I don't think it goes far enough.
It's still way too tedious and grindy trying to farm out Shrine or covenant rewards, and with the way they're currently set up, I think it's going to work to driving more players away from Lords of the Fallen rather than wanting to continue to play it. So this video is meant to highlight some of the issues I've found with the multiplayer and covenant rewards as a form of direct feedback for the developers.
Although this video is mostly negative, I do really like the core mechanics behind the game, and I hope it continues to improve in the future.
P.S. At 9pm on Christmas Eve (2023,) I'll be livestreaming my reactions to a bunch of reviews of Lords of the Fallen to try and gain a better understanding of the community's consensus since I know this game in particular is especially polarizing, and I'm not sure why. If you're interested in that, be sure to drop by and say hello in chat. The VOD will remain up on the "Live" section of my channel.

Trying to farm these factions items is like trying to farm Proof of Concord Kept from the 2 Silver Knights in Anor Londo in DS3. I thought that was excessive and you only needed 30 of those feckers. lol
Longtime vet of every soulsborne title here, im not averse to a challenge or prolonged effort. But the amount of farming required to obtain the multiplayer rewards is absolutely out of bounds crazy. The farming system is now in a reasonable state, but Id say the cost of the items should be lowered. Even cutting them in half would still make this an excessively painful grind.
Never ever i will not even do this in my dream
I'm getting to the point of thinking that the currencies need to be doubled and the prices cut in half. I can understand some challenge and incentive to obtain certain items but this is reaching like ridiculous level of grinding. I also think the armor dyes should across the account rather on individual characters.
The covenant dyes are account bound
@@LastProtagonist oh I did not know that
Bro, seriously, I really wanted adyr's armor, but it's impossible, I already tried to invade 3 players, in all cases one of them was spamming radiance storm while the other was just spamming projectiles or R1, it's ridiculous, I mean wtf, all the players I invaded where were in coop, and that way it's just impossible to win on these circunstances with the prices they want to. This game needs a coliseum urgently
I definitely think you should get more rewards for playing the pvp or coop but you should be able to get them without having to get online because some people cant connect into games or win pvp when the pvp is full of op spells and weapons
Not that it matters, maybe it’s a console specific thing-or maybe depending on what magic I’m leaning towards most??
Anyway, I’ve been getting 3 hands & 2 coins
I’ve seen it go back & forth on that, depending on what elite I kill maybe…
(Much rather just stay PvP, that’s just my style-I completely understand grinding if you’re keeping it “1 player”
Especially this game where, more clean up in PvP would just be…man really that would seriously boost things as well
They’re getting there, & I do appreciate the devs busting a$$ (just don’t know what’s going on at the drawing board)
I love the game, truly
I think we all, even or especially the crowd that’s not too into it-want to see this game get to the potential that is CLEARLY right…there…under their nose
Hopefully the devs see this video.
With the implementation of boss rush It's only 350 items to farm per covenant and doing all boss rushes one time
I have formed the hell out of this game and only barely have a handful of those hands I have a bit more eyes quite a bit but still nowhere near what I would need for just one piece of gear
I didn't hear anybody do it on this video or anything but I've seen videos with ridiculous ideas for increase difficulty... I actually really enjoyed difficulty and I don't really ever complain about it but I just want people to remember that not everyone has basically cheated their way to level Infinity on that dumb Reaper so let's just keep things reasonably difficult, like I said no problems here and I have no problems with difficulty itself just saying reasonably
That Aeldari headgear though,
Always good to see more content
It's like they know there are solutions, but they don't understand neither why those solutions work, nor how to implement them . I repeat, the devs are too optimistic for their own good when it comes to the tedium they want to submit the players to.
Yeah, it feels really tone deaf and like they haven't played the game themselves with these kind of goals. I cleared the game fully 3 times, getting a significant amount of red lanterns along the way and couldn't even get half of the covenant rewards LOL
@@LastProtagonist On my third playthrough (halfway done), went out of my way to get every red lantern from start to finish on every play through. with a success rate of roughly 95% on getting the kill. i have 100 hours on the game and i JUST got enough to get the CHEAPEST part of the skeleton set. it seriously needs a change
Totally agree,there Is no fun in farming,literally zero fun,also now for the new boss weapons attacks needs to maybe finish the game another one or two times,and for me there is zero sense,the only thing that we can do Is to write them an email to the support team,because i dont know whats on the devs mind at this point.
That General whoever his name was I had to fight for Getting the rogahr( however you spell it) armor set was seriously hard as hell and im level 180-ish so... anyway dude was not easy
All I want is that skeleton armor from the putrid mother stuff, at this point I'm about to just start seeing if someone will sell me for real money
The items can't be transferred. RIP
Great video, eye of vengeance is useless.
Im not sure if i understood you properly so i might be saying something you already said.
But for the drops of the covenants are not set at a specific amount. Ive killed an enemy and got 1 severed hand then killed another and got 3. I believe that it's either a random amount up to 3 or each different elite has a specific dropped amount. But i also could be mistaken.
Oh, okay, that might make sense. If that's the case, then you can apply the 1-3 drop formula across the board, so you can ignore the individualized math.
Less cost for reward 🤷♂️ i mean, half the Price would be good.
The different rewards based on your server is really poorly implemented. I live in Brazil, so I'm on the north american region since south america apparently doesnt exist. So i get 3 items even though, like in Oceania, nobody is really playing here.
Id love a new "covenant slot" equipment item that dramatically increases those drops for all mobs and bosses at the cost of increasing the game's difficulty by one step. If you don't want the challenge, you can just unequip the item.
Improve the lock-on system. It’s whack
They already have. You have multiple options now on different types of lock-ons in the settings. They added this into the game a month or two ago
Yes I'm already bored of the game and that's after not being able to play for over 4 weeks because of the umbral ending glitch. Yes it took them a month to fix my save file and they never even replied back to my emails. I emailed them multiple times and never even got an automated email back LOL quality corporation that cares about their consumers. Needless to say the hell with these coins or any other faction currency that is farmable one and two at a time LOL what a joke
Interesting I tried emailing them with some of the problems I'm having they said they would open up a ticket and wanted more evidence of the issues in my game once I did that I waited then 3 days later they said I haven't contacted them in a while and that someone tried to contact me but they never did so they closed it out then never emailed me back again I couldn't believe it been emailing them for over 3 weeks got nothing...
LOTF needs a kind of *2.0 Overhaul Patch* Its like its got this good foundation but these almost weekly patches just aren't doing the job. Maybe if the devs went silent for a good few months and then promoted a revised version, people would be interested again and the game would benefit from it and get the kind of reception it should have to begin with.
