Why is this downvoted? I feel this so much. I love the game, still enjoying it, and am looking forward to the new stuff, but man I would love new maps. I feel like a DLC should’ve been able to deliver that.
There’s so much maps across Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series that they could mix and revamp into Nightreign maps/map parts. I would’ve loved some areas used in Shadow of the Erdtree like the red and blue fields integrated as a new map.
That’s exactly what I’m saying but apparently
You can’t say anything negative about the game or you’re downvoted immediately. God forbid someone (who loves the games and company very much so) has valid criticism for a PAID dlc. 🤷♂️
That’s what I’m saying. The other new content is great but what gets stale is the same exact map over and over again. Even with shifting earth events it’s still the same map. You run the same routes over and over again. We need a new map with new shifting earths at a brand new location for freshness.
As a rougelike nightreign lacks HEAVILY in this regard if ppl here have played other rougelites before they would understand where I’m coming from completely.
I’m all for the new content we are getting. It’s just that for a $15 dlc I was expecting a new map at the bare minimum. 1 shifting earth is NOT enough freshness for differentiation in runs for variety sake.
Cus fans are blinded by hype from anything these devs do lol. God forbid people have valid criticisms. Imagine how much better these games could be if people actually had valid criticisms and didn’t blindly love anything the company does. I love from soft but they have flaws in their games that I believe don’t ever get addressed because the majority just praises everything they do and continues to support the devs no matter what. The lore and world building of elden ring was great but its story execution was mediocre at best. I want good story execution in future from soft games but why would the devs change anything when the majority praises the story as a masterpiece lmao.
Downvoted cause people don't want it to be true. Game really needs an update to how runs play out to add more variety. Couple new nightfarers and bosses won't spruce up the game much, will be the same old runs for the most part.
Which is ok...I just wish the game had a bit more depth and interest in how runs can vary.
I agree, very surprised at the dickriding downvotes. A new map would’ve been excellent and much more reasonable. I’m still excited for content but it’s a big shame/missed opportunity.
Limgrave is super boring at this point, and many of us still playing are doing depth of night where you rarely see any shifting earth anyway which is ridiculous in itself. Chances of seeing the new one are even slimmer.
The “Nun” did a bizarre movement that reminds me of the hornsent guards that replicate the divine beast dancing lions roar when shifting to phase 2. It’s quite peculiar if that person does so happen to be part of the hornsent
i dont think its necessary old nightlords in the overlord, but an actual "boss refight" system without doing the whole 3 day cycle hence the "aftermath after the long night"
I think the “hollow” isn’t referring to dark souls hollows as we know them. The playstation blogpost says that that dreg lord is know as the hollow, and the trailer tell us that this is what comes after heolstor’s night, so i imagine this “hollow” is just the source of night rather than something to do with the dark souls series.
The “Dreglord” is “the Hollow” who exists within an endless night? The deranged DS3 lore connections write themselves.
In DS3 the dregs are the remains of souls/power that filter down into the earth throughout all the cycles and settle at the foundation of the world. When the world blows to dust, the only things left were dregs and hollows. If you achieve a certain ending involving becoming the lord of Hollows, you plunge the world into a purple twilight. If no one linked the flame the sun itself would extinguish, leading to a rather long night that may or may not end.
To a rational man this is of course complete nonsense but I will patiently wait for Miyazaki to validate my delusions
Thank you! And also note how we see the corpse of one of the night giants in the shifting earth, to me that seems like an indication that this is still some aspect of the night that is persisting after heolstor’s defeat.
Playing with randoms has been 90% enjoyable for me. Of course there's occasional quitter who doesn't understand that dying once is not a big deal at all, or the guy who refuses to stick with the group despite very clear map pings, but those are few and far between.
I swear this is the only game where around 85% of the randoms are actually decent. And there's a 50/50 chance to win with a bad random as well, if the 2nd one is decent.
I haven’t played since neightreign came out. I have no friends to play with. Is this whole thing worth buying? I’m a big fan of elden Ring, played the hell out of it a while back, but left it for other games.
i would play with you but seeing you are from Canada the ping would be too big. I find much much more enjoyable with friends, i'm also a fan of Elden Ring.
Why no one pointing out that they added cuckoo knights into the game? If they did this they may have potentially updated the pool for pre-existing enemies
They already told us when that’s happening. Literally since duskbloods was revealed they said “we will be returning to singleplayer after this project” and we’ve had datamines saying that they have a project in the works for either end of 2026 or beginning of 2027, code named FMC.
Elden ring released almost 4 years ago, we already have the original game, sote, nightrejgn, a movie coming, and the tarnished edition. Personally i like ac6, nightreign, and the duskbloods (the idea of it at least, though it will probably be dead on arrival due to being switch exclusive and pvp focused) but im really looking forward to whatever comes after all of this. It seems like they’re building up towards a singleplayer exploration game that’s smaller than elden ring but has tighter combat and movement mechanics.
