Lords of the Fallen

yeah, plagued with bugs apparently, watched a Twitch streamer this morning, just beat a boss or whatever, and boom crash to desktop! he was more cool about it than I would be put it that way! LOL
 
After dusting myself off yesterday I managed to find a glitched farming spot where the reaper gets stuck and cannot attack you (lower calrath seedbed near a big fire). This means you can happily farm with the 3x multiplier in umbral. I just had to equip some radiant heal spells as you cannot use your normal heals when the reaper is out. You basically run around the fire killing all the umbrall spawn enemies. Luckily the moth ladies regularly spawn and drop mana shards to replenish your heal juice, so essentially you could infinitely farm here.

I put a shift in (5ish hours over 2 sessions) farming xp with Spotify playing my 90s indy play list and I'm now back to level 139. I can now carry on my playthrough.

I have reported the issue to CI games so hopefully they can fix the problem. I have turned off network play just to prevent this happening again in the meantime.

Right I'm off to enjoy listening to the mighty Derby County (don't laugh ) beat Shrewsbury Town away.

I really did curse the Rams with this comment. You know it's bad when you look at the league table and Burton Albion and Stevenage are above you
 
A new update is out on ps5 (1.16gb).

I rolled the credits today with 80 hrs played. I've thoroughly enjoyed it even with my de-levelling issue. I got the radiance ending so will try out the new class before heading into ng+ with my og character Big Rev (preacher)
 
Unfortunately the update seems to kill performance for me when in the poison swamp (the fen) in umbral. I'm hoping we get some focused ps5 performance updates soon.
 
A new patch dropped last night on ps5 at midnight.

I fired it up and thought they had flipped on quality mode the lighting and graphics looked better - I went into settings and it was already in performance mode.

I then preceded to test out previous problem areas for me where I had frame drops (umbrall mode in the swamp "fen" and also umbrall in lower calrath). Both areas appear to run vastly better previously in these zones it felt like I was going below 20fps, now whilst not 60fps it felt between 45 to high 50s whilst in umbrall and 60 in axiom. It feels so much better now hopefully the devs continue to improve the game as its a fantastic souls like.

I'm now well into my 2nd playthrough I had unlocked the Radiant purifier class so used him to put together my umbrall build. So far it is very strong after being weak early on. I'm halfway through the mines and just grabbed the first pair of decent umbrall weapons the poisonous pickaxe which scale with radiance and inferno. Stats wise I've left vigor and strength at base, endurance 25, vitality 40, radiance 40 and inferno 40. The soft cap for rad and inf is 75 so I could be levelling those 2 stats for a while although I may have to put 5 more into endurance just to have a touch more stamina.
 
Another big patch just dropped on psn the main notes are performance/stability improvements, improved hdr, boss weapons can now be upgraded to +10 and a host of fixes to pvp and pve.

In my 2nd playthrough as an overpowered infinite casting umbrall magic beast I'm about to finish the inferno ending.

I just have the umbrall ending to go but I will probably have a break from the game for a bit as I have just bought spiderman 1 HD (£20 via my ps plus copy of miles), army of ruin and a new isometric soulslike called Achilles Legends Untold. In my backlog I still have Baldurs Gate 3, Cyberpunk and Mafia 1 Definitive Version (the 2nd is on ps plus soon).

Glad it's been patched - I heard good stuff about it but I saw my missus watching fightincowboy playing it and I thought it was a PS4 game! Hopefully pre-patch footage.

I'll get round to this after Lies of P.
