did they lower the spwan rate for voletiles? and also the time it takes for them see you jn the dark and start a chase?

[@SRHv2]

I was kind of hoping that the new menu screen would be dynamic, changing as you made progress through the game.all of the screens are just aiden chilling at different areas. Like if youre at the prologue, its in the countryside. Once you get to the bazaar, youre ontop of the church. After completing the Broadcast mission, Aiden is just sitting/standing at the edge of the tower overlooking the city. Current one is awful

[@derkitheofficial3306]

yeah i somewhat agree. the current one isnt that bad, but they definitely changed it for the worse. your idea i agree with, i recommend you add it as a community idea on the pilgrim outpost, ill be there to vote for it!

I started a brand new game on nightmare and it just changes how you play this game. Every encounter even with a biter could be potential death. There's nothing to trivialize or underestimate, you really gotta plan and strategies now which feels Like how a game like this should be played. I'm really enjoying it so far.

No shit talking, no time wasting, just cutting to the chase, pure Information and comparing. That’s pure quality video I was looking for

[@ninthshark9153]

I agree, personally don't like the new menus and it definitely looks more like a live service game. I think the loadout option is great, and the new stamina option is basically the same as assassin's creed where you have to wait for it to fully refill before using thanks for the great video! very informative. The sounds still terrify me at night with darker nights, will definitely try nightmare. I still suggest adding timestamps to the video, just makes it easier to go back to something later. Once again tho, great work!

[@blackister4768]

Because DL2 is a live service game.

[@ninthshark9153]

@@blackister4768 it is not. but it does have online aspects, like the four player co-op, but it is not live service

[@diddlefadiddle9911]

I mean, of course Techland would change the menu to be more like a live service game. Because Dying Light 2, as it is RIGHT NOW, is a Live Service game. Their entire model for how they make money, push content, and so on relies on the game being constantly online, and pushing a update/content dripfeed process that's entirely focused on player retention over long periods of time. This isn't a problem in and of itself but Dying Light 1 and 2 never really sold themselves as Co-Op live services ala Helldivers, Darktide, or DRG, they were sold more as complete single player experiences with live service elements bottlenecked through their co op game modes. And as I'm guessing we all know, the single player experience of the game right now has become part of that live service model, in the form of... well, finishing the game. Fixing issues, adding content that should've been there on release, redoing certain cutscenes to cosmetically improve the storytelling, and so on. Now ALL of Dying Light, not just the Co-Op, is focused on retention of the player base via content dripfeed over long periods of time, rather than large, singular update ala Cyberpunk's Edgerunners/2.0 updates (which were free btw) that focused less on retention and speed, and more on delivering a complete package, all pieces at once. With the change in the menu, almost feels like a reflection of how Techland sees their own game. Less of a sequel to Dying Light 1, and more as a live service ala Call of Duty where the single player form of replayability is taking a backseat to the live service retention model, which mostly likely capitalizes on showing off your paid cosmetics and such that you'd most likely use in multiplayer/Co-Op modes rather than any serious story or single player experience.

[@sinu9226]

[@majalunddalgaard318]

Wow you really put a lot of effort into your editing 👍🏻 Great video 👏🏻

[@TheGreatCollapse]

Wish they would have changed the menu screen a bit more.. look at the menu screen in dl1 and then compare it to dl2. DL2 menu screen is literally Aiden looking at a png (now at us with static 0 facial expression he doesn't even BLINK) that has some little animation like flags and windmills moving. And then there's DL1 where each option like the "continue game" "stats" and "settings" moves the camera to different positions and so on...

[@Glenn_Quagmire]

Imagine a 3d menu with Aiden in different locations depending on where you are in the story

[@TheGreatCollapse]

@@Glenn_Quagmire Now that's an awesome idea!

[@diddlefadiddle9911]

I'm guessing they changed the pose so you can look at your cosmetics more. It's what live services like CoD or Darktide do, to push you into investing in character cosmetics and outfits. They make you zoom out and look at it, and build an attachment to it. While Dying Light 2 isn't sold as a live service game, it certainly has more in common with CoD and Darktide in how its trying to make its money between big story DLC releases (ala the microtransaction bundles, which even use their own version of CoD Points now, DL Points I think they're called). It can be argued that the game IS a live service now, even if it wasn't sold as one. Just that now fixing the game has become part of that Live Service model (since live services are all about retaining players and player interest for long stretches of time, in frequent play, after all.)

Great video bro

[@NevilsicoShard]

Thanks for concise video

[@deadking5077]

I found a new farming spot for nightmare mode at night. Go to where the van is that will take you to carnage hall. Be sure to have a glitched machete and boosters and military medkits. Personally i think its better on the ground then move up to the top layer first, as the roof part only affects volatile tyrants. The ledges there actually block the tyrants from going across most of the time so you can just kill them right there.

[@andigibran6583]

you wanna know a better farming point ? near the van you mentioned also it is near the culvert island, so there are bridges between the sewers/drainage, just go under the bridges during a chase, no infected can crawl to you so just hit them from beneath the bridge while crouching. (tips careful with the volatile spit though)

Thank you for taking the time to showcase this update, and for not whacking your viewers over the head with SUBSCRIBE!! demands every fifteen seconds.

I'm looking forward to diving back into DL2. Great video, thanks again.

[@snipeybro]

Needs a better environment like buildings and structures on rooftops like wooden towers, survivor houses, gardens, farms, windmills, fences, bridges blend that with parkour. Do the same with pk areas with bigger buildings and more sturdy structures like stone steel some wood, replace ugly pk towers and buildings with realistic medieval vibe stuff blended with parkour.

[@Loonchiper_ESP]

I think the nightmare mode is somewhat relevant to how even easier modes should look like, after you max out you are a demigod. I love the glider stamina decrease cus that deletes the most op tool in the game, making its use much harder and strategical (although i think they overexaggarated it a little bit, its still nightmare mode duh). And just like in DL1 even if u were lg lvl 250 u could die to a volatile in 4 hits without any boosters on. i cant play cus mu hand is broken but i feel like this game wont be so boring anymore. it will finally feel like the og DL and how it was supposed to look.

[@infinitedeath1384]

I hope your hand heals soon. The paraglider only depletes your stamina faster at night, and tbh it's not the worst. Even the red volatiles can't keep up with me, and I'm a new player. The paraglider with the upgrades is too fast for them. You can still jump from roof to roof with the paraglider, even with the extra stamina depletion.

[@Loonchiper_ESP]

@@infinitedeath1384 i mean yeah, thats kinda the point of the paraglider and what it purpose should be, cus rn if ur not a parkour enthusiast or want to get somewhere high u just take the glider and u can get everywhere. it should exactly serve that point. and yeah, i remember when in the first game you had to climb buildings to outrun the volatiles. if you were to only run on the road they would always hit you in the back and sometimes stun you and one shot u instanly if u wasnt maxed out. thanks im seeing so much progress everyday

[@infinitedeath1384]

@@Loonchiper_ESP Yeah in this game you can immediately start paragliding just by jumping off a zombie with the dash zombie jump skill, pulling out the paraglider and boosting up. Immediate access to low roofs and walkways on the side of buildings, which the volatiles have trouble staying on. One of them tried jumping at me and it went flying off the building xD. I like the paraglider a lot more than the grapple hook in the first game, you can pretty much fly with it, rather than just glide downwards. Haven't unlocked the grapple hook in dl2 get, but I'm sure it'll have its uses. I've only just completed the side quest to save Aitor (the pk commander you meet in villedor investigating Lucas's death). It's the one right after you unlock the UV torch, and look for flowers at night (the small petals heal, large petals poison).

Had to stop roughly 3 mins in. So It looks really good rn, I played maybe an hour back during the Halloween event and quit like I did back after launch. Its A bit harder (chose hardcore) than I remember, which Is fine as It now feels a bit more in line with its predecessor. I remember the story being....well shit, but I don't remember much so Its like playing It as a new game all over again. I just wish camouflage would come back, and it wouldn't even have to be a skill anymore I'd think just unlock the central loop. Now I think about it, I know they added new Infected. Did they add the screamers back from DL1 as I don't see Howlers anymore.

[@andveda5444]

I actually said "ew" in disgust the second i saw the main menu. glad im not the only one.

[@Zero-0-Cypher]

The stamina option is dumb

[@bonelink90]

The faster stamina drain while paragliding during the night makes ZERO sense and it's not needed, the hidden XP gains is a stupid choice aswell and the hidden imunity HUD element being hidden is also stupid. Overall mediocre update. What's the point of higher rarity weapons droping in nightmare if you can get 2 shoted by enemies unless you spam the dodge... wait you can't spam the dodge cause you run out of stamina now much faster. I get the idea behind nightmare mode having to be very hard and challenging, but some of the changes are over the top and not needed. That said I will reinstall the game next month, start a new game on nightmare mode and probably put the game down after the intro section because I remember how garbage the grind and the upgrade system for blueprints is, in adition to all the negative updates mentioned above. Dying light 1 is still 10 times better than 2, techland needs to go back to dl1, and play it 5 times start to finish and then make dl2 great.

[@infinitedeath1384]

First of all, the stamina drain is a good way to balance the game. If you could paraglide all night without ever landing, volatiles would never touch you. Secondly, it doesn't matter if they removed the immunity hud. There are audio and visual cues that tell you how low your immunity bar is. Dodging barely uses any stamina at all, but you also can't spam it because you will fall down if you try to spam it. Spamming the dodge button won't help you if you're fighting multiple volatiles, if you try dodge one, another will hit you. This is what the UV bars and UV torch is for.

Not to mention we still don’t have weapons that do a lot of damage. So, as we nearly get one shotted our weapons takes even longer to kill bitters

@@ez4sleezy. That's nonsense. I'm on nightmare and I one shot most biters. Goons die after about 5 swings with my axe, demolishers are the only enemy in daytime that is tanky. Secondly, you can double your damage with your legend points, and you can get a shotgun eventually, that does over 2000 damage, which you can further increase with legend points into firearms damage. The only zombies I struggle with are the red volatiles, the new ones in nightmare mode. The only enemies that can almost one shot you are the red volatiles.

@@infinitedeath1384 oh really okay thats cool, I haven’t actually played nightmare so i just thought everything hits hards with no player survivability.

[@infinitedeath1384]

@@ez4sleezy. Nope plenty of survivability, especially if you have your health upgraded a lot. Only real threat are the red volatiles, and groups of regular volatiles.

techland cooked 🔥🔥🔥 with the hud changes. but even cooked shit is still shit! 😔

[@weplo1597]

They gotta make hud better tbh starting from that goofy crosshair like bruh it looks like big square instead of a small dot

I'm probably in the minority here, but that skin reward for beating Nightmare is INCREDIBLY LAME. No new blueprints for weapons or armor, no special ending, not even a dang easter egg. Just a skin. Of one of the ugliest characters. That we don't even get to see much of outside of others wearing it in multiplayer. Ffs Techland, do you really hate rewarding us for our efforts in beating the new mode that much?
