Was looking forward to playing the Sacred Hunt event. But the new UI and inventory changes are major deal breakers for me. All the interaction keys seem to have changed, the icons are waaaayyy smaller leaving those of us with poor eye site at a disadvantage.

Oh, and the lack of precision splitting… total pain in my ass trying to split, split, split, split, split… I just want 15 shaped wood…How??

Absolutely love this game, and it is going to be tough putting it down. But I think it is time for an extended break.

PlayStation doesn’t have an A or B or RB or RT or Y, etc

I’m not familiar with Xbox controllers. This is the PlayStation thread after all :slight_smile:

@telenair provided Xbox to PlayStation mapping. Thanks!

RB = right bumper = R1
RT = right trigger = R2
LB = left bumper = L1
LT = left trigger = L2

I tweaked a couple of the entries from @telenair now that I have update installed. Square and Triangle.

I’ve updated the above if funcom aren’t going to update the PlayStation controller mapping on the PlayStation thread :slight_smile:

Did rolling thrust get adjusted or did they scale that back and it remained unchanged?

I worked hours for so long to farm the sword of crom, I had 12 of them. 4 of which had weapon mods attached. Now I only have 8. Funcom is destroying their game and their player base. This type of crap makes me not want to play this game anymore. Every update is slowly ruining the game for most of us. Sooner of later they’re not going to have a community to play their game. Why was my weapons disappeared? If you didn’t like the mods then just remove the mods but don’t erase the weapon from my crate because I actually spent countless hours farming. No point of farming for weapons if future updates are going to ruin them. New players be aware, this game will slowly ruin your progression. Just go back to Ark, trust me.

They nuked the crom swords that were modified?
Geez I had like 11 and just recently put mods on all except one which I left for future comparisons.

I did the mods based on advice from the forums here. Similar to touch of yog axes from a year or two ago.

I haven’t tried the new version. Started downloading it then went to work.

Also there’s a new bug that now you can’t take stuff from your large chest into your inventory. It just stays in the chest everytime I press R2 (for Ps). So everything you crafted you can’t access now.

You can take all but you can’t put stuff individually inside chest, and when you try it glitches and remains in your inventory. In order to put stuff back you have to transfer all into chest. So you can’t keep what you would like to remove.

Everytime an update is released, they mess up something else. Check out these videos, you can’t even equip armor or remove individual items from storages onto your inventory.

@Pliskin
Myself and other members have been reporting this particualr bug since the Age of Sorcery: Chapter 2, and no fix has come through the pipelines yet. Can you please, please prompt the team to fix the broken Thrall Pot & Pet Feeder Boxes.

I need help in 3 things.
1 . I cannot turn while i perform an attack anymore. I really loved this flexibility in battle, is there and adjustment i have to change?
2. I don’t know how fatalities work, is there an adjustment on settings for this too
3. Is it a bug that we cannot have torch lighten while riding, or it’s a new ā€œfeatureā€?

I run to do bosses and dungeons, plus i did a couple purges, lvl 1 and 2, so far.
I find enough bugged bosses with strange behavior, they couldn’t do all their attacks correctly.
The worst bug i find so far is that the Sunken city gates close fast again. So if you kill the boss and loot legendary chests, consider your self locked inside.

My tests are single player, barbaric mode, ps5 digital.

@stelagel number 1 is probably something to do with this -

This is part of fixing how they screwed up combat on PC in the last chapter - sounds like they’ve found a way to cause the exact same thing for you guys. Hopefully either turning this setting on (or off if it’s on) should fix it for controller.

  1. Fatalities - I believe there is supposed to be a setting somewhere (maybe under ā€˜Server settings’) to turn them on or off, if that’s what you mean. Otherwise it should just be ā€˜some enemies’ go into a standing and wobbling animation when they reach zero HP - you then need to wait to ensure you don’t continue a combo (but not too long or they will just fall over) and then hit attack again to execute the fatality.

  2. wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes and Funcom ā€˜never’ misses big changes out of the patchnotes, so it must just be your imagination :rofl:… They also didn’t mention removing the custom sort inventory option, or the fact that they’ve made radial menus no longer use the mouse pointer - so clearly those are things that also aren’t happening.

(Hopefully my answers to the first two questions are a bit more useful than the third…)

This my friend was the best thing they ever did on their battle system.
With all do respect, the reason i went back to single player was this battle change. When i understand it a bit, how to use it in advance, i enjoy the hell of it.
Now that i play with the ā€œoldā€ battle system again i want to throw out.
It’s static and unreal.
I will try to fix this on settings tomorrow, i don’t want to play the old battle system again, it’s horrible.
Thanks a million brother :metal:.

On PC in chapter 3 we were locked to only being able to fight in a straight line - not able to turn at all (even between strikes) - that’s what I meant by combat being screwed up - what you seem to be facing now. As far as I know that didn’t happen in chapter 3 on console because you already controlled the camera and the character independently. I can’t imagine why they tried to force PC players to use controller style movement last chapter, or why they seem to now have removed controller style movement from you guys…

:100: !
This is a huge problem, especially with the ā€œbuffsā€ the purge received!
PLEASE @Pliskin talk to them.
To get new things is lovely and we appreciate it, but all this doesn’t matter if essential mechanics remain broken.

the items selected to throw (from the characters inventory away are not the same. throw things randomly.

I did this several times today. If I find out I’ve lost I’m going to freak out. so I close my eyes and try not to think about it

Should not be too difficult to attack in the direction you facing AND have WASD input to adjust. Other games get it done. :man_shrugging:
FC is just not able to do it for whatever reason…

Ugh there is going to be a steep learning curve as triggering crafting l2 is now that quick stack and so we have to cursor up to the play icon

Bazaar connection is like 50% of log ins

Skeleton archers have invisible bows

Can’t use torches on horseback

Red mother AI is bad…real bad

Loot tables give abundance of perfected padding

Rhino world boss is bad ai. Not one attack on me or my thrall

Hot wheel inventory lacks descriptions included timers for depletions like torches

Yeah … that with the torch on horseback is really annoying.

I also tried to harvest some trees and stones but i didn’t get any materials. Logged out and back in, and then it worked again.

First i thought this was just an issue with my connection, but a fellow exile in here mentioned he wasn’t able to harvest star metal (from the meteors this starcaller dude summons).
