There is only easy and normal mode even in NG+ I think which you can switch whenever you want. Hardmode itself which you start from the main menu can't be changed (at least from what I remember)

Damn. But starting the game on hard is not recommended, is it? I'm really conflicted.

You can't. NG+ keeps your starting choice (Normal/Hard in this case).

You can't switch the difficulty after that.

(I'm basing this on the console versions- might be different on PC).

Damn. But starting the game on hard is not recommended, is it? I'm really conflicted.

Start on hard.

 

[Mifec]

Can I change the difficulty to "hard" once I'm in NG+? Or am I locked on normal difficulty forever if I opt for it?

Pretty sure you can change to hard whenever on PC, and it doesn't restart, so no double ring of Ring Of Perseverance at the start anymore

 

[Mr. Smiley]

IIRC, that was changed in Dark Arisen. You can go to hard mode whenever from the title menu, just know you'll restart from the beginning with your level and items intact.

Reminder guys:

"be sure to drink your iodine"

You could mess up your whole playthrough if this sentence makes no sense.

Wouldn't want to risk your time running free.

You can start a new game on hard, using everything you've gotten up to that moment. You might play 10 or 500 hours, and then start a new game on hard.

But heed the FAQ from the OT well when it comes to Hard. Playing on Hard "for the challenge" will eventually turn into "for the tedium" since all you're really left with is the increased stamina costs and your ways of migitating it.

Trying to set up DDDA.exe but can't find the folders yet. I'm guessing I'll need to wait until after the game unlocks to enable these fixes?

 

[Akiller]

Game's unlocked in here. Push me wind,it's time.

Correct.

[AndyMoogle]

My game is unpacking. Only a few minutes left!

 

[PixelHorror]

Game is decrypting.

 

[KCroxtonJr]

Yeah. From what I've seen it mostly works. It is just this and a few night time situations that look weird. What I'd like to know is if the other implementations suffer from similar problems.

HBAO+ does not have this issue. The bleeding through alpha effects is very noticable though...Haven't tried GeDoSaTo.

 

[Moff]

6 minutes early, YEEEHAAAAAAW

 

[wamberz1]

Almost go time

 

[dragn]

the damn game had a wider ui on consoles and now its not compatible for 21:9 monitors? -_-

 

[Majukun]

so it's one of those "start on hard" games?
strange..in many reviews they say that it is a challenging game as it is.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Man this just like when DD Online was released. Really want to play it but class just started up and I need to focus and auuuuuu

Yeah I did read that. Hard seems to drop a unique armor though.

I think I'll yolo it and start on hard. If I end up not enjoying it I can restart so whatever.

 

[Ryan7556]

It seems you can start it up actually right now. It's funny because the steam timer implied this would unlock at 1:00 pm EST. It's nice that it came out a bit earlier.

 

[Francokid1]

Game is unlocked for me. Installing now.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Anyone know if the DS4 is supported natively?

 

[Onimusha78]

Unlocked! But now it's updating *sigh

Edit: Unpacking rather

 

[Tecl0n]

the dreaded unpacking

 

[Ricerocket]

so it's one of those "start on hard" games?

Starting off hard mode = 1 shot mode. The normal game alone has tanky enemies unless you learn their weaknesses and have the right pawns to buff your weapons. It's not a fun mode at all unless you're an assassin with mobility to dodge and I think they have a vanish kind of ability but that's later in the game.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Anyone know if the DS4 is supported natively?

it supports it as far as not needing a third party program to work but it doesn't have DS4 button prompts and it will show generic prompts instead of the 360 ones

 

[KCroxtonJr]

Anyone know if the DS4 is supported natively?

It is, and you can even fully customize every button I think. You can't use the dpad for menus though for some reason lol (at least it wouldn't let me).

 

[LurkerPrime]

I thought it unlocked an hour from now? This changes everything.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

yeah currently unpacking ugh lol

 

[Dsyndrome]

Starting on Hard, hopefully this doesn't become unbearable. I'm not changin' this beast.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Mine is unlocked, so excited

 

[Baloonatic]

Yeah I did read that. Hard seems to drop a unique armor though.

You don't have to restart if you drop the difficulty down from hard.

 

[Zakalwe]

Still saying pre-load for me (UK).

 

[Nyteshade517]

I thought it unlocked an hour from now? This changes everything.

it was a 9 AM unlock time...the Steam store page was never updated to the correct time

 

[Steel]

Starting on Hard, hopefully this doesn't become unbearable. I'm not changin' this beast.

If you do feel like changing it later, there's no penalty for going from hard to normal. There is a restart penalty for going from normal to hard, though.

 

[Fitz]

Still saying pre-load for me (UK).

I reloaded Steam and it changed.

 

[Vuze]

Still saying pre-load for me (UK).

Restarted Steam?

 

[Rhaknar]

just woke up, lets do this

 

[Admiral Woofington]

jesus since when did unpacking take this long

 

[Ryne]

The unlock is plenty slow over here, damn.

 

[Ryan7556]

it was a 9 AM unlock time...the Steam store page was never updated to the correct time

I was always wondering about that extra hour. Since 9 AM PST would convert to 12 AM EST. Seems like it got corrected at least.

 

[wamberz1]

yeah currently unpacking ugh lol

fuck, same. guess it's time to grab some lunch quickly.

 

[Zakalwe]

I reloaded Steam and it changed.

That worked, thanks! :3

 

[kubus]

It's happeeeninngg!!

edit: Now at ~20 minutes. Thank god not another full hour...

 

[fluffydelusions]

What's this weird unpacking?

 

[Sarcasm]

Restart your client if it hasn't let you unpack it yet.

 

[Onimusha78]

Boo! Some people have managed to unpack it already

 

[JoeyJungle]

It seems you can start it up actually right now. It's funny because the steam timer implied this would unlock at 1:00 pm EST. It's nice that it came out a bit earlier.

Valve employee said "Fuck it, I gotta run free!"

 

[Shari]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Im still @ work
