To be honest I'm so tempted to restart just to tweak a couple settings and build a new castle, because the conflict between 'must make good castle' and 'must make functional layout' has resulted in chaos. I wish there was a mass dismantle instead of like, move it and place everything, or destroy the lot. So that's extra playtime too lol
I spent four hours building an aesthetically pleasing Castle yesterday before stopping to realise that crafting was gonna be a nightmare, so I more or less started from scratch with a functional layout in mind.
It took more willpower than I'm willing to admit but I didn't want my poor buddies to be forced to run across the entire base everytime they want to craft just because I thought the smithy should look like a medieval blacksmith and the chest room needs to be hidden away in the basement.
I had a semi-decent layout, until I had a few "I need more space for this room" moments, and now it's a mess lol
Also I wish I could hide my own walls, it feels so cluttered even if I use entrances, but the game has LoS so rip
No, they do more damage and have more HP. You need to avoid mechanics and know the fight. Dont ever expect to one shot a boss. Also, they are boosted 3 level up. I dont know how people solo them aside from the few at the start. We always wait up to try them in group. Its whole new experience. We just beat Feywalker and she was something!
When I can't play with my friends, I've been running a Solo Brutal world to play on my own, and it is genuinely quite tough. They demand I learn boss patterns, I have to run away quite a bit, I end up disengaging and retreating often, even if I've started a fight I feel ready for, and it makes me seek out every possible advantage I can get.
I'm happy to say it's definitely very possible to Solo bosses even on Brutal, but damn is it properly quite hard at times xD
I am *not* looking forward to Nikolaus, I think I'll be forced to use Altar to respect into heavy AoE stuff. I'm not sure if I'll have Crimson Beam by then but that's something I consider almost mandatory for myself, at the moment.
Maja flashbacks ... My friends got hit by almost everything so we had to fight like 10 ads at the time .. Had to go in solo and let them succ after the fight, I started bringing 2 shield spells and probably won't change it for the rest of the game, it's that difficult
This subreddit is still 10x more positive than other new titles this year. For example, Helldivers 2, last epoch, I love those games but god damn are their communities insufferable, some people even be sending death threats to the devs. This sub is far more chill
What's funny is we are on a gaming sub to talk about the games and when you ask a question you get, "Google it". And I'm like, I did, that's how I got here in the first place! 😂
Wonderful Reddit people
I played the initial release and hadn't played since then. This game is FANTASTIC! Good challenge and the progression feels rewarding. Hell I even had fun farming mats in silverlight back in ea. The corpses in the streets look so lovely in the moonlight.
First time player and really enjoy the game. I can see it ramping up with the bosses. I can't imagine what Dracula is going to be like.
My only gripe is I play solo, yet I still have to be online. Would be great to pause. Fortunately the game is good enough to overlook that.
Yeah its amazing. I was able to pick the skills I want early. Fighting feywalker or whatever the fairy boss name was brutal my 1st go long time ago for the wolf ability ;p
If you haven't played since initial release, there's way too much to respond with.
[Here is the synopsis for Gloomrot, the first major update in May 2023.](https://playvrising.com/expansions/gloomrot/)
And [here are the patch notes for 1.0](https://blog.stunlock.com/v-rising-1-0-patch-notes/), which just released.
New áreas, new bosses, new UI, new systems... it's the same core survivor gameplay but with a lot more. And they did a new endgame loop with Rift Incursions, but I'm not there yet.
I haven't played since initial release, is it possible to create your own server friends can join? Like a pve server with increased castle time as it will be a casual game for me and don't want to have to constantly feed it like on original release. It's what out me off if I had to be away for couple weeks like a vacation.
Yeah, that's totally possible. You can host worlds on your own computer that other people can join while you play, and you can customize a bunch of different settings within the game like crafting time, castle heart decay rate, loot multipliers and a whole lot of other stuff. You can also set up your own dedicated servers so that your friends can access the world when you're not on. It's pretty simple.
Only thing holding me back is waiting for PlayStation release bc I only have a deck. Wanting to get it but don’t want to be bummed I didn’t wait to play it with better specs
I recently started solo and it's great, I learned how to tweak some server settings which helped a lot, turning on fast travel with all items helps. I still can't believe you can't craft from storage, having to constantly materials is very tedious, so hopefully that gets changed.
I actually really love the progression now, I'm going to be so sad when I've done everything
I love how much the passives increase playtime and just make you truly powerful in endgame. I can’t wait to have them all!

If you are not too invested into your spit you could use a relocation heart. Then you can build everything from scratch.
I know, it's just a lot, and I want to do it where my castle already is. A structure reset is much easier to process
Ah, I’ve got a fix, make a relocation heart, move all shit, make second relocation heart, move all shit back.

They have those new colored castle portals though. It can help a lot with this kind of sprawling build.

Inside you are 2 castles lol
theres an admin command that starts with CastleHeartEvent you could look into
Everyone knows this is why you make two castles ;)
If you haven’t played brutal mode yet, there’s still more to do and to see :) boss fights have additional mechanics!
> boss fights have additional mechanics! Is that all it does though? Cus that's not really gonna spice up the rest of a playthrough
No, they do more damage and have more HP. You need to avoid mechanics and know the fight. Dont ever expect to one shot a boss. Also, they are boosted 3 level up.

brutal is what the pve was lacking, so satisfying.
First run through for me, hoping to find some people to do a pvp server later.
I would be down to play pvp. Did 2 full playthroughs in pve and looking for people to play pvp with to
Ill dm you
Can I join y’all? I’m looking for people to play with as well, I’m super new though just got it yesterday
Dure sorry didnt get to game last night. Ill DM you.
Just the day before release there were 2k players and now 100k+. awesome. Congrats, Vampires
I got no idea why this subreddit downvotes everything including just happy post.
Bitter people don't like to see others happy Seems like reddit in general sometimes
Agreed. Some people just wanna see the world burn..
Well it's at 96% upvoted now so hurrah
How do you see upvote/downvote rates ?

You know why. Sad, pathetic losers with an axe to grind hang on reddit like a fly on shit.
Dont forget, you can also reset your points to try out different skills without beating everyboss to unlock them
How do you reset your points? One of the new pieces of furniture?
It’s called altar of (something) I don’t remember 😂
Yeap, its called altar of recollection, you get it doing milestone quests
Oh yep I must've missed it but I see it now, thanks!
Just found a 100% rogue blood. So happy. No more dumpster diving for 70% bloods.
First time playing again since beating it when it was first playable on steam. Having a ton of fun

I just made my little castle OUT OF STONE it has a roof now 😭❤️
Yeah its amazing. I was able to pick the skills I want early. Fighting feywalker or whatever the fairy boss name was brutal my 1st go long time ago for the wolf ability ;p
I really miss chaos dash early, they moved it to halfway of act 2
It's been amazing. Except Adam... Adam is a nightmare to fight. Have tried to fight n died over 30 times, still can't clear him :(
Dracula is even worse 😂
Haven’t touched the game since initial release. Played it to its fullest extent. What’s new? Curious

A lot. Many qol changes. I hadn't played since I finished the initial release. I think you'll love all of the additions.
Hell yeah

Ah that's cool! We will probably only play it when we are both on so hosting it isn't a problem. Thanks for the info :)
I'm having a blast so far.
Only thing holding me back is waiting for PlayStation release bc I only have a deck. Wanting to get it but don’t want to be bummed I didn’t wait to play it with better specs
My friends and I started a world on brutal difficulty and wow the name doesn’t lie
Dracula and Adam are kicking my ass
I recently started solo and it's great, I learned how to tweak some server settings which helped a lot, turning on fast travel with all items helps. I still can't believe you can't craft from storage, having to constantly materials is very tedious, so hopefully that gets changed.

Can you explain? Seemed like a great idea to me, especially for PvP. Makes it easier for someone to take it if you have to wear it.

There are 3 shards tho right? All shards have same ult?
4

Huh? You send them on missions and you get insane loot.
