A VAMPIRE SURVIVAL GAME! Asmongold Plays V-Rising

[@epyjacek]

Others have said it, but for anyone intending to play solo: you must check the server setting before creating your world. There you can tweak the options to have higher resource stacks, lower production wait, and much more. The game defaults to settings that work for a 3 to 4 person team rather than a solo player.

[@jontaii152]

I play solo on a regular official server with default setting and I’m solo, ive made steady progress and am now in gloomrot bosses. I think I’ve only had to do 4 iron runs in total to make it this far and I have PLENTY. The resource gain in the game is more than adequate for solo players.

[@aaimst]

​@@jontaii152 how many hrs do you have in that server?

[@jontaii152]

@@aaimst i don’t know dude I work and play this game maybe 3-4 hours 4 days a week

[@epyjacek]

@@jontaii152 Yes, but it takes much longer in the end game to gather all the materials. Once you are in the last group of bosses you'll feel the grind. I should know, all I did was increase stack sizes. Everything else is default. When this hits 1.0 I will 100% double everything except combat stuff. From lvl 1 to 70 takes like 60hrs in default from mh experience.

had over 1200 hours in the devs’ previous title Battlerite and was incredibly sad to see them end support for it, but im so glad that they seem to learned from their mistakes and took the best parts of BR (the combat and characters) and made a completely new title. fun fact for anyone who hasnt played their previous games, some of the bosses are actually almost straight out of battlerite, like Jade for example

From my 100 hours of playing on a public server, I have to say, it's a great game for cooperative play. I joined a PvE Public Server, which provided me with the immersive MMO experience I was seeking in a survival game like this. Additionally, the server had a Difficulty x2 rate, making it challenging. You can defeat the bosses by practicing on your own, but if someone joins you, the boss difficulty scales up, making it even tougher when playing with others. I highly recommend PvE Public servers in that regard. Most of the time, I built the castle by myself, and it was incredibly enjoyable, albeit grindy. And the feeling of accomplishment once you have a grand castle is truly awesome.

[@Tory-JJ]

harder.. or spongier? Because the gameplay I've seen.. the game isn't a challenge, just enemies have more hp. No new enemies appear. Just more hp.

[@direnova6284]

I know this annoys purists but I love a game where you can REALLY customise your experience, I found gathering a pain in the neck so I made it more productive, why spend ages chopping at a tree ? Combat too easy? Tweak it. Personally I think they nailed the whole vampire thang and it was and is a great game.

[@magellan12300]

I agree ! Grinding isn't fun for a lot of us, especially in the 2023 era where developers tend to be lazy and mainly focus on monetization.

[@dezmodium]

I would have liked that, too, except often during my playtime I need to be able to pause a game to handle other things. But I found that even when playing solo there really is no "pause", the game runs while you are in menus and so on. So, unfortunately, that was one customization for me that just wouldn't work and I had to refund through Steam.

"I want too play V Rising, not a Mod" Zack, keep in mind, V Rising was designed around the fact that you play on an always on Server, and so the default settings take this into account. You might want too change some them too fit a single player mode because of this. Also, because of this, Servants are all but useless, so i'd recommend not even bothering with that entire system, because all they are good for is defending your base in PvP, and being sent out on missions that take upwards of 24 hours of real time, which is not counted while the game is not running. Lowest mission time I think, is like 4 hours.

[@desolation1821]

I've played this game for almost 400 hours now. And I can say that I love it. But there are a few things that I wish where different. A few things that might change, a few things that probably will be added and a few things that will never change. The Camera is one of the things that I wish was different, but isn't and almost certainly will never change, because they'd have to make fundamental changes to the game that would turn it into something completely different. PvP is fun, but Castle raiding needs work. The raiding system is one of the things that have been announced to be reworked before the full launch. And also more stuff to do with the servants. Right now they are just castle defence and slaves to send on missions to get resources. And for the things that might change, are end game systems beyond just building up your castle to be as magnificent as you want. And there are so many decorations in the game but non of them are interactable. These things might change in the future. Other than that, Combat is fun, Building is amazing, the graphics are fine (even though I'm not the biggest fan of the artstyle). If you like Vampires, like Survival Games and like Action RPGs, this is the game for you.

[@jontaii152]

For anyone wondering if they should get the game, it is worth it for the one long, satisfying, rewarding play through. The gameplay feels great, the progression is 10/10 compared to other survival games on the market. The crafting combined with the v blood system of progression keeps you busy on two fronts but rewards you constantly with power upgrades, new recipes, and new spells. Building a badass vampire castle overlooking a lake or valley or village is just so cool. But there is no replay value. Nothing is different the second time through, some settings can be tweaked but if you are looking for something extremely long term this game is not it. Maybe you will get a different gem that makes you use a different spell more but… you are pretty much just using the best of what is available to you until endgame. And obviously there are meta builds and really not much reason to progress through the whole game again for the exact same experience over and over each wipe. Again, no one should pass over this game for any reason. This game is incredible.

I agree this game isn't meant to be played alone. It works for Minecraft because that game is a sandbox of creativity where you can build a mario game in the game itself using redstone. But for this, its a pvp siege game with bosses as a side note. But I do love what they are going for with this game's aesthetic. If the creators were to make a game for single player that is similar to if not just like this, I think it would be rated very highly instead of only seeing 1k players until they do an update. (Doesn't help you have to wait 24 hours min for your minions to return with resources. And I would love if the human transformation would have better sunlight resistance since you're literally covering yourself up in a cloak) I can imagine better AI companions you could actually travel with you like bodyguards, the raids on certain areas visibly taking place in real time when you visit. Maybe have some of the human factions act as rivaling forces that will try to siege your castles when enough time passes and the big name bosses taking part. They could even bring in their own version of the nemesis system (Using a mechanic someone else made isn't stealing. Like Arkham series to Assassin's Creed, its just a good idea brought out to the public for other companies to improve upon) where some of these lesser names could make a name for themselves and improve their level by doing things such as kill you, kill one of your servants, or kill enough enemy faction npcs. Make it so the world feels more alive by making the npcs develop beyond your actions. (But I would keep the sunlight system because its the best I've seen so far and would be a system I want to see on a new Vampires the Masquerade.
