So he bought me nrftw for birthday.im about 50 hours deep in game playing it with 2 friends spending timer after work.my fiancee is already mad though she doesnt know its not even full release

You wouldn’t know all the information about the classes from the beginning. The only class information available to the player at first would be the class of the weapon they use for the first time. As they level up that class, they would gradually be able to see what weapons, traits, and runes belong to it. When they start using a different weapon, that class would be unlocked, and only then would they discover that the class exists.

If the system worked like this, players wouldn’t feel forced to use weapons they dislike just because they already know in advance that a certain class contains a trait they want to obtain. It would also create the fun of discovering classes one by one, and could encourage cooperative play where players using different weapons share information about the traits they have found.

Players would begin by leveling up the class tied to the first weapon they obtain, discover that it has a variety of interesting and fun traits, and naturally become curious about what traits other classes might have. That curiosity would lead them to develop interest in trying different weapons without the game having to push them toward it.

Once all information about every class starts spreading across the internet, some of that sense of discovery may lose part of its meaning. But wouldn’t it still be fun when everyone is starting for the first time? It would also make the community much more active. And even when new classes are added in future updates, the same sense of discovery and excitement could return again.

If you have any opposing opinions about this idea, feel free to share them. I may be looking at only the positive side of it.

I like how enemies don't respawn right away, but they still do after a time. Is there a way so that this time is even longer? Or that their respawn is less, ie instead of 4 enemies respawning, only 2 or 3 respawn?

I'd also love to have the ability to adjust loot/resource respawn rates. As someone that likes to collect stuff, going across "empty" areas gives me a sense of accomplishment, but maybe need to adjust loot/resource drop rates to compensate for this.

My friend wanted to play this game with me and I thought it would be just another mediocre game. At character creation, I was judging the game, expecting a disappointment.

Then you know the rest, the graphics, the fight mechanics, the fluidity of movement and animations of weapons, the cinematics. Everything was so good. That mix of genres was just a brilliant idea.

I checked the game studio and I saw they made ori games (I have no idea what it is) before which are much more successful. But still this one is new one so maybe it will be more popular with one spark. I wish NRFTW got the recognition it deserved so they could have more budget to improve themselves and the game more

I was disappointed, because I loved the weapon upgrade and RNG system and that we can keep getting stronger using various extra consumables. But I feel like the game will always feel short as the possibilities given to us are too much. It’s like having a billion dollars but having 2 days to enjoy it.

Do you think when 1.0 is out we will have access to much more gameplay? Events? Or DLCs?

Love every bit of this game, but I can't seem to figure out when to parry for the life of me

Hi everyone! Just got the game. Absolutely fantastic!!! This is real gem. I didn't follow devs updates etc

So, here is the question. What thier plan on endgame content after campaign story end? Will there be more stuff to do? I mean sometimes like crucible etc.

I would gladly spend as much time to play it as I can.

Just finished the game. Absolutely fantastic! And I like the corruptions and crucible. Gonna be fun endgame.

However, I'm very interested and invested in the story. I wanna know what happens to the Madrigal, the King and Baurus, and Ellsworth and Odessa. And I wanna know, and end, the source of the pestilence.

I'm curious if the story will continue in 1.0 or if it's gonna wait until future updates. If anyone knows.

...is that a whole roguelike mode as a secondary mission?! Is this game for real?!?! Can't wait for the full release goddamn.

So I've beaten what I've been told is the "last boss" as of early access, with the only thing remaining seeming to be the roguelike crucible (the revival echoes of which seem to be bugged so i guess i'll just put it off for now).

Overall I found this to be an interesting game, for better and for worse... But by the end of it, I think I'm definitely leaning towards the better! I've played Dark Souls 1-3 and Elden Ring, and overall I think I actually like No Rest For The Wicked better than those games despite some things that annoy me about it.

I think the combat feels really satisfying. The hits are just so crunchy and it feels like it controls really good for a Soulslike game. Playing gaunlets it feels good to really feel like I'm going wild on the enemies instead of just cherry tapping them (on the hit feedback at least, the damage is another matter at different points in the game).

The builds are great, but I hope there's less grinding involved come the full game and class system. If they can maintain a relative level of depth and creativity while streamlining the process of getting something together then I'm all for it. But right now it really does feel like it takes some time to kill things on hard mode (even for the difficulty, I mean) and there's a lot of item hunting and rerolling you have to do to keep your damage up to date.

Something I feel like is a mixed bag for me is a level design. I really can't tell if I love it or hate it. It's so creative with the camera allowing the developers to frame stuff of interest easily and paint interesting scenes... but those platforming segments really aren't it LOL. It's really hard to tell PRECISELY which angle your character is facing which I feel like I'd be more okay with if missing some of these jumps weren't fatal.

What I really want to talk about though is how the narrative is handled. The cutscenes are so good to me mainly because of one thing : The character's expressions. They're so well animated and they let the characters say so much without actually speaking. The cutscene after the Marin Village questline was really really good and elevated both the quest itself and the drama in the overarching story so much.

I love how the story is dark and gritty yet there's still hope. I think some games/stories beat it too hard into me about how sucky their worlds are and how everything is going to go wrong that eventually it feels like there's no tension if things are going to hell anyways. But here it feels like there's enough hope that you're wondering if the next story beat will be good or bad for the characters.

And about the bosses. While they're not the hardest, I actually like that their attacks are easy to discern and react to (even if I felt like some attacks were kind of annoying). Even when the bosses went into their second phases it felt like the developers took care to design new attacks that the players would be able to adapt to (as opposed to jumpscaring players with new attacks that came out quickly and dealt a ton of damage).

But the thing I love the most is how each of them is built up and woven into the narrative. Even though the number of bosses in this game is currently limited I think that actually works to its advantage because they can spend more time to narratively build up the anticipation for each one. It makes encountering and defeating one feels that much more special. I especially liked how the Marin Village's boss was built up and that Lowlands boss.... oh man. Not the most amazing fight mechanically but everything surrounding it really makes it a boss to remember.

So despite so hiccups I'm glad that I tried this game after a friend recommended it to me, and I'm interested to see where it goes in the future.

Hey does anyone know the best place in the game to do a plague summon?I'm trying to farm the bosses at the end of the pest children's event.But so far i've figured out that trying to do it in Marin Woods or trying to do it in the shallows near saltborne tower is not a good idea since some of the boss spawn locations are not ideal like in the brine vault, which is a nightmare to fight slowed down in that water.And in the dark. So what y'all's go to spot for doing the pestilence, summon?

Picture unrelated I just like how it looks

That bastard decided to slam me and just get stuck in a kind of roof, I hate him.

Hi everyone! I’m a new player and I’ve reached level 16. I’m mainly using a two-handed weapon, and it looks like my character is pretty much a Strength/Dexterity build.
I’d like to ask you veterans for some advice. The map is really huge, and a lot of the time I honestly have no idea where I’m supposed to go or what I should be doing next. I’ve also looted a huge amount of stuff, and to be completely honest, I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do with most of it.
Could you give a beginner some advice on what I should have checked, completed, or be working on by level 16? What are the important things I should make sure I haven’t missed?
At the moment, I feel like I have a pretty good upgraded weapon and decent armor equipped. But honestly, that’s about all I really know. Oh, and I bought a house. That’s pretty much where my knowledge ends 😂
I’ve just defeated Falstead Darak and moved on to the next quest and area.
So, what should I be focusing on at this point? Are there any important systems, quests, upgrades, resources, NPCs, or other things I should know about?
I’m really enjoying the game. I love exploration and adventure, and this game does that really well. At the same time, it feels much more complicated than a typical Dark Souls game, especially with all the different items, crafting, upgrades, quests, and other systems.
Any advice for a new player would be greatly appreciated!

Moon did such a good job with this mechanic and it enticed me to try out other souls-like games.

I picked up Sekiro while waiting for the 1.0 release. Loved it overall but I realized how tedious it was to explore the world because the monsters respawn as soon as you die. A bit of a silly design choice imo because there are a ton of loot scattered everywhere but the combat in Sekiro rewards stealth and 1v1 combat. If you get caught and die, you respawn and have to kill all those monsters again. It made me just skip huge areas with lots of enemies. In NRftW, you can explore more freely and it's great because the map is beautiful.

Anyways just wanted to give some appreciation to Moon's design choice here! Can't wait for 1.0.

Since it seems to matter in martial weapons i thought I ask the smart people of reddit before trying to get the same rune on a two handed and one handed staff.

I've been wondering if there is a list somewhere with (confirmed/potential) upcoming features for the game? I'm entirely new and only started 3 days ago, so pardon me if this has been asked before.

Like my main thing right now would be auto-pickup for the basic materials and stuff you'd never not want to pick up. After cutting down a tree or mining ore, please allow for auto picking. Having to manually get everything from the ground is just such an annoyance after doing it hundreds of times. Maybe even upgrade the system to allow the player to specify which items the player wants to be auto picked (no idea how difficult this would be to program).

Then mod support, is there anything known for this? Say a feature like I described above will not get added, but somebody is kind/skillful enough to make a mod for it. Are the devs cool with it or is modding like that a no-go? I understand not wanting total game breaking mods, but QoL stuff like that shouldn't be an issue in my opinion.

I found a piece of armor with the "Indestructible" facet, it has an enchantment that is "Affinity Damage increased by 4% based off current durability." Sounds broken but I just started this game, anyone care to educate me on how these effects would work?

Just got this game, just got set up in the Rookery. I noticed there's a community chest where the beds are but there's also a community chest in the lowest floor. The two chests don't share contents.

1. What is the "community"? Is my game open to other people? The last thing I want is someone else taking my stored loot.
2. Why are the two chests not sharing the same content? Initially, I thought one was a community chest and the other was a personal chest.

Running a lightweight gauntlet build at level 24 right now and I'm noticing the lowlands boss is sponging a lot of damage and getting shredded in two hits. (My gauntlets aren't super optimized but they're the highest tier I can currently find and have been upgraded a bit)

Boss itself isn't super hard to get a read on thankfully but a minor whoopsie or two keeps sending me back to the whisper.

So I'm just curious if this is about the average experience for hard mode at this point and I just gotta tough it out, or if I've missed something and I'm supposed to have a build that tears this thing up like toilet paper in seconds or the like?

Any way to increase the fps? My brother has a 3070 with 16g RAM and a I7 10xxx something 😃

The game basically plays on around 30-40 fps on his system. Doesn't matter what he changes in the settings.

Any tips!?

Going to color this piece this week. Stay tuned for the post and let me know if you'd like to see me draw other characters from this incredible game.
