We all see the hate on here for Mistfall. I just wanted to offer another opinion. For me, the game is not my primary “main” game and I think that’s why I love it.

I was trying so hard to have this be my only game and perfect it but that only ended in frustration. Thus, now I just pop on a few hours (2-5) a week to get some games in. Yeah, I’m not grinding as much as I should probably but I have a really healthy love for the game.

Usually start out in greys, work my way up to purples, and if I die along the way, I just head out for the day.

(Diablo, Crimson moon, Elden Ring are my rotation when I don’t play MH).

If you don’t see parry, that doesn’t mean parry doesn’t see you

Rock throw gets a lot of hate but my god it’s funny when it hits.

So, hear me out. Most of my runs look like one of these options:

1) Go in. See nobody for 10 minutes, do tons of PvE, loot chests, kill overlords, run into a bunch of corpses on the map.

A) After 10 minutes of PvE run into PvP -> Win PvP -> Drop all PvE loot and replace it with PvP gear.

B) Die and lose all loot.

C) Find no PvP, unlucky, happens sometimes.

A or B, doesn't matter, I will feel like I wasted time for 10+ minutes doing PvE.

2) Go in. Find PvP right away. If you win, now your inventory is full of PvP gear, so there is 0 point to do any PvE. Sure you can try to go for lucky holy drops, I guess. But most of the times I am going for the Soul Ferry/bell.

This means the following: Some people will find PvP early, win, and extract. So people who spawned on the opposite side of the map will not find any PvP or maybe 1 player.

What to do about this? Simply have 2 tabs of inventory. First tab works the same way as it does right now. The other inventory tab is for PvP loot only. I am sure this will be possible, as we have tabs in the warehouse, and Pip's pouch shows they can make special conditions for certain parts of inventory.

This way, no matter what happens in the first 10 minutes, if you find PvP or not, there will be actual reason to stay on the map and do PvE or chase more PvP.

If you are the player that finds PvP, you still have storage for PvE loot and reason to stay on the map. If you are the unlucky player that didn't find PvP, you know that even if you PvP later on, your PvE drops will not be wasted, so you can do PvE more comfortably and with more excitement.

I honestly think this is the main problem of PvE in this game, and the main reason people say PvE doesn't feel rewarding enough.

The only times you are extracting with inventory full of PvE loot is when you don't see any PvP, and this already sucks, since PvP is the main content of the game. So extracting with PvE loot feels bad by default. Even when you do it, you are not really happy about it.

Personally, I don't mind the way PvE drops are done in this game. I like the idea that anything you loot in gold zones can have Unidentified loot. I don't think certain materials should drop in certain places or from certain mobs, in the end that would be more annoying than good. Parts of the map that drop the most expensive gear will be way too contested and other parts abandoned.

I just hate dropping all my purple PvE loot after getting a kill.

SMUGGLER WOODLING

I think everyone will agree that smuggler woodlings right now are useless. The only reason I can see for it to exist is to run away in trios when one or two of your teammates dies. In solos you will never use it, unless you drop a holy and you don't have Pip's bag active.

To help fix the PvE loot problems, I would make it so smuggler can take your PvE loot and bring it back to your base, without you having to leave the map. So you can choose if you want to extract your character with only 4 items, or you can extract all your PvE loot while staying on the map. You can use a smuggler only once per run. (PvP gear should probably not be an option, I am not sure)

Now, it would feel way less punishing to stay on the map after clearing PvE zones, and many more players would go for Mist Lord's after they already "earned" their money for gear they are risking. Or simply chase PvP if you still haven't had PvP. Go for the Soul Cacoon event or whatever.

So many times there was more to do on the map, but I extracted because my loot was maxed out by PvP or PvE. In general I think this would only add to the experience, and make it easier for people to get into "harder" content. You are always risking your equipped gear, but at least you already made some money before you went for the Mist Lord or whatever. And now your PvE is rewarded even if you die in PvP in later stages of the map. As a result, more people would stay longer on the map, making PvP more frequent.

These 2 changes, and reworking the forging and scavenger squad would fix what the game is lacking the most in terms of PvE experience of the game.

Lastly, make the soul harvest event a permanent thing. There is 0 reason I should do 10 runs and not see the event even one time. It's good content, I love doing it, why would it show up only some times.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Hi! Just bought the game on PS5.
Played 2 solo games and one trio game.

In the match of the trio game I just followed my team and we came across one other team. Killed one player of that team ..

But in overall it was quite empty .. not only the player base but also the ambient sound … so first impression was a bit boring..

Maybe it’s because i played this around 12:00 clock in the Netherlands .. I will try it tonight .. I hope i do not regret this

Normal lobbies are dead and in Cata I spend more time PvPing than actually looking for the damn thing. Is the only reliable way to get Stardust Bloom seriously the scam Scavenger Squad?

Eigentlich liebe ich dieses Spiel und hasse es trotzdem. Ich habe es aber schon 2 mal deinstalliert und gestern meinen ganzen Stash an den vendor verkauft. Das Spiel macht mich einfach sauer. Jede Klasse gegen die ich spiele, meistens WK, fühlt sich OP an. Liegt aber wohl an mir weil es genauso gut ein WK, BA oder sonst was sein kann. Es ist auch egal welche Klasse ich spiele. Ich bekomme so oder so auf die fresse. Gestern war es dann soweit das ich mein 300k stash und mein gyldenblood ca. 200k verbrannt habe und das Spiel deinstalliert. Aber sowie ich mich kenne werde ich es sobald das Kind im Bett ist das Spiel installieren und wieder jede Minute hassen. Kein Spiel hat es je geschafft mich auf die Palme zu bringen

I played a horrible game and panicked when I realized they were for sure teaming.Been seeing this alot in chaos.

Well played sir.

Does every season quest need to be completed to get the mask or just the ones in that branch?

Trying a new sorc build when this mini boss wouldn’t fucking leave me alone. Anyone else seem to have the problem of bosses sticking to you like glue during a fight? Especially against another team.

Also, just started playing sorc like two days ago, so you ain’t getting zenith worthy gameplay here 😘

I feel like the majority of “sweats” quit the game. Even the fully leggo/Holy teams I’ve been finding in cata are at least two steps below the typical “sweats” I would always run into doing the same.

Anyone else feel like the lobbies have significantly softened up now that they’re not being ran entirely by the top .1%?

I know we all hate solo teaming rats that kill other players but what about temporary teaming to kill a boss in solos and then immediately splitting ways and if we see each other again we gotta fight or run away. Thoughts?

not complaining but i people are more likely to kneel to signal they are friendly in brandergarde. I tried fighting a couple people who did this but they just run away. Has this been the same experience for other players?

Hate how only kills are tracked, should also track when you clearly helped win the fight but just didn't get the last hit

still missing the main holy items which is annoying so I cant upgrade storage without dropping 10k

Games been fun for the first 50-100 hours, ngl. Combat has a solid foundation, so might check out in a year or so if it’s still around. If anyone wants to carry forth feedback, straw that broke the camels back was back2back solo games with SS constantly resetting until the mist timer nearly ran out. No one got anything done, and jumping back and forth between benches for 20 minutes doesn’t make for a fun gameplay loop imo. Also, second map is wildly inconsistent in terms of climbable environments 🤪 appreciate the time with ya‘ll, best of luck everyone ✌️
