[360] Castlevania: Harmony of Despair

Got the game on day of release but it's kinda disappointing how much the community has changed now, everyone seems to just want to farm rares on dracula, which is dull as hell people be honest, with or without the game breaking blender swords like the Yatsusuna.

I guess right now the game has similar problems to diablo, items bearing no relation to how well you do on a chapter (like people doing jackshit in a chapter then getting better boss drops), newbies being frowned apon, people offering to 'help' them by steamrolling their way through the entire game and the community generally having a bad attitude. Hell just a few minutes ago I formed a team for chapter 2 on hard and the entire room left, not every rare in the game is on the last chapter people -_-

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I saw you in a random room SimDaddyGT a while back on a all Somas dracula run. Nothing says fun like a team where 1 guy has yatsusunas and everyone else is using rpgs to take down a final guard =P

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Is that so? I heard that it increases the chances of rares on non boss related treasure chests. I could be wrong though I mean this games not even been out a month and people are still trying to figure these things out

How ya doing, buddy?

5 yatsusunas? o_O considering I aim for about 12 luck at the very least on item farming and haven't seen any yet... I think I might try your low luck method.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Trying out the 7th stage right now, theres 2 new enemies (including the boss) 2 new souls for soma but I've not seen the boss soul yet and 1 spell for charlotte. It's a variation on the pyramid stage from Portrait of Ruin, the layout is fairly straight forward once you get used to it until you get to the boss that is... then any male characters become the bosses bitch from her charm attack unless you're good at dodging. On the plus side however, it's pretty funny to see Soma and Alucard players who once thought they were god tier to be brought to their knees from charm spells.

Any word on the dlc characters? Because I haven't seen them anywhere for some odd reason x.x

How ya doing, buddy?

Johnathen can use his dash attack I think it's called sonic strike? To dodge the hearts too but it's pretty risky, the only uniform strategy seems to be stay behind her and (with careful timing) jump up where the first heart appears when she casts charm, everything should pass straight by you.

Turns out the new Chapter does have some exploits despite Konamis efforts, common tatics include Alucards misting through doors, leaving at least one person outside of the boss arena to hold the door or even Charlottes casting heal from just underneath because the spell can pass through walls. It's a strange boss she doesn't look that dangerous, but with the choas that goes on in multiplayer it becomes sometimes much harder to watch her attack pattern.

Also no sign of the dlc... well unless you count some music that should have been in the game to begin with =P this is getting like borderline trolling imo, maybe they're holding out until the end of October to release the long overdue new characters?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
