No Rest for the Wicked - After 30 Hours There's a BIG Problem... - Early Access Review & More!

[@RageGamingVideos]

Love seeing all the discussion guys, I adore this game so far and really want it to suceed, hell some of these issues are already patched which is impressive.

[@Postovniholub55]

Yeah, update one day from early access.

[@Ixxmantisxxl]

If you delete an item, and there is a second of that item in your inventory it will delete all duplicate items of same name. Encountered this last night

[@corgan_7]

Game is still to easy with very forgiving parry window and rune near infinite sustaining, that stagger bosses too... If someone struggling now, he just need to get better. I am sorry for harsh comment, but it is early access and things will only get harder and demanding, because majority of souls-like genre players will demand it. Also when it comes to broken equipment and lack off food - it is not game that you can brute force through by chain-death-training bosses. It is already forgiving that you can just join new realm with same character and re-farm materials and some more exp, if you stuck.

[@shawno9564]

My biggest gripe is the no being able to reset your attribute points.

On switching food: Hold the up arrow on the dpad. Then you can switch using the right stick. Much faster and you can still control your character.

What you want is the "heal on parry" enchant on gear combined with some passive regen and "+healing effectiveness". Those solve a lot of problems

[@davidmichaeljennings]

@@Xxav88 you need to charge it and a full focus bar does multiple heals

[@reksrowley]

Ah yes the "Bloodborne conundrum" as I call it. Farming healing items is not fun especially when your expected to lose sometimes. It was my biggest issue with Bloodborne though I admit it was less of an issue there then here. As for the food switching to ingredients I agree that it should default to a cooked for first however there is a quick swap option. Hold up on the D pad and use the right thumb stick to select new food.

[@terminator6431]

Bro there are so many options for Food and mats that you will never run out of them. I mean very early game, yes maybe but its the same for BB. If you die 100 times first area you wont have heals. My experience was very different from yours. BB has this Problem. Wicked inside doesnt have it. But that is just my experience and is as valuable as yours.

[@benicholson22]

You don't need to farm to heal

[@ffrancois09]

You can buy the healing runes from the lady in town. You can also buy the staff extract the channeling rune and always have focus. That plus regen on pants is super helpful.

[@FelisImpurrator]

The biggest issues I have: -Item durability is brutal. Too expensive to repair by far, and can get you stuck in a loop of lose-more. Especially in that particular case where items can break mid combat. -Food economy and farming for heals sucks, hard agree there. -Level bracketing is terrible. I hit level 12 and all of a sudden everything west of the city was Pestilence enemies, causing a sudden difficulty spike my upgraded level 1 weapon just can't deal with without tedium. I was JUST able to get to a point where combat felt fairly on par with my gear, and it's gone again. -Minimum stat thresholds are awful. Grime had this problem early on and solved it by letting you equip things at reduced scaling effectiveness. Seems absolutely necessary to me in a game where you can't control your drops. Scaling benefits also seem kind of terrible early on, like two points in dex for one point of damage from a dagger? Come on. And you can't respec! -UI is missing so much info. What does this rune do? I don't know because it won't tell me when I'm in the shop OR in the equipment menu. What does each icon on a gear piece mean and what corresponds to which status on my HUD? Game won't tell me either. Got the wrong bounty and want to switch? Sorry, bucko - you just erased one of your dailies permanently. -Live service crap that doesn't feel worthwhile: Why does building require real world time? Why does sleeping require FOUR HOURS for a rested bonus? Why dailies and weeklies like some MMO? It doesn't do anything that makes those things feel like anything other than a punishment or arbitrary timegate. -Badly telegraphed attacks, delayed moves, true combos everywhere. Why do half the melee enemies switch between super quick attacks with tiny windups that can interrupt your parry animation, and ones that delay longer than Margit the Fell? Why do multiple enemies stagger their attacks to rollcatch? Why do those infected wolves have a tongue combo that has huge reach, forward momentum, and massive damage to 100-0 you if you're anywhere near their faces? This is just cheap, like Lords of the Fallen on launch day cheap. No one likes climbing onto a ledge and instantly being shoved off by an axe guy.

[@FelisImpurrator]

No buff timers, no time till daily reset, no way to merge item stacks or sort the chest... Why is the UI so incomplete? Seriously.

Food farming on boss losses isn’t that big of a deal. The materials are easy to find and abundant, what isn’t abundant in lower levels is the repair costs of your armor. Apart from that, you should have an infinite resource sized bag. Weapons need balancing as well. Greatswords need to scale differently, fat rolling can stay only if they provide a quickstep rune for Greatswords, the weight cap is nuts low, wind up with big weapons is too long for how little damage they do and you’re too vulnerable.

[@creaturecore13]

The great sword is already overpowered as it gives a huge reach advantage. Some enemies won't even be able to get to you with the reach you have.

[@kolosmenus]

I see a lot of people complain about repair cost, but honestly I just don't see it. I just struggled against a boss, died like 10 times in a row, and the cost to repair my equipment was around 60 coppers. I've got close to 40 silver, and I didn't even try to farm the money in any way.

[@creaturecore13]

@@kolosmenus that's because they fixed it already on an update on 4/19. Now you don't break them nearly as fast and cost is much less

[@trentmagik]

I'm going to disagree on the aggressiveness of this game regarding the fluidity of actual gameplay. Why can't it be as "imbalanced" as you all seem to suggest it is. The weapon durability, the food, the slots....you are all complaining about there not being enough of those things, but it piggy backs off of you all wanting to make the game what? easier then? Why not keep the so called imperfect models of the gameplay how they are? There's always room to nit pick actual flaws in a game...but this current difficulty is great with how its balanced. y'all soft is what it is.

[@joppemin]

Depends, hard is fun but farming basic resouces is frustrating. If i have a limited amount of time to enjoy a game (after work and such) and all I'm doing for the first hour of my game session is run around and collect mushrooms that only takes away from the fun, not add difficulty.

[@musical_pizza]

for me what is the biggest problems : 1) when you run to climb down instead it jumps and ignore the vines or ladder 2) I think the amount of bounties and challenges a bit small it could be nice if each ingame day pass it would add a new bounty and challenge instead of real life time 3) I hope they will make that when you run out of type of food it would change to the next highest healing food (for me farming for food before boss fight no problem and can buy food mats so its pretty easy to stack up of course you can put away food mats before boss fight so it wont get low healing one but that is just less good than fixing it 4) this not a problem but tip - for people who struggle with paying for fixing or you want to fix everything for free out of town you can make a secondary realm and get to the blacksmith but not to town and than you can use the second realm for fixing cause during tutorial its free and when you go back to main realm it would send you to same location before going to secondary realm hope that helps been using it alot at first few hours later on got so much money that didnt need to 5) this I really hope they will do something about it when I finished foraging area I hope they will add something to tell us when area is out of mats to farm (mine nodes trees etc ) many times I was going to area and it was out of mats and was waste of time 6) I think the UI for placing decoration inside house not so easy to use in compare to other games I played like valheim where it easy to place things because of the grid 7) this one not problem but if they add it I think it can be cool I wish they will add a pet that can come with you at your journey maybe it will be able to carry some extra loot and attack some mobs or maybe finding some mats from time to time like in one of the pets in castle crashers there a pet that brings food (some players dont like co op but like companion it can give a solution )

[@defiantrequiem8428]

for the healing selection issue. I agree with you 100% but to mitigate it. all you need to do is hold up on the D-Pad and use the right stick to select your healing food. this works with the consumable slot(down) aswell

[@Dad_of_War]

All very valid points. I really liked it at first, but the more I played the more I noticed the annoying and limiting factors in it. Waiting for an update that improves things, or heck even a trainer so I can mess around with it

[@Illvana]

One way to patch things up with food, is by creating an npc in town that gives you, let's say, three stews per in-game day. It wouldn't be like an estus flask, but it would allow you some leeway to at least try and master the boss, THEN once you're better around it, you can forage and go at it "seriously".

That would just slot neatly into the restaurant, actually.

[@fullyfb3847]

I think you should have a minimum low tier food that refreshes in your inventory that you can upgrade the number and quality of as you progress through the game. Like estus flask, but with food. Simple solution and opens the door for fun activities you can go out of your way to do in order to upgrade your respawnable food. It also wouldn't take away the benefit of high tier food that you can still grind for and use in the high difficulty situations. Basically OPs idea but you don't have to go to town

still watching the video but thank god you mentioned the negative loop for losing. Just an hour ago I quickly found myself selling gear just to be able to afford a few mushrooms to make heals in hopes I simply had a chance of beating the first boss. Not to mention my gear started breaking. I was overall weaker everytime I stepped into the ring. Luckily I won but that cemented a negative connotation with using heals, managing equipment, fearing for lack of money so I won’t spend. And then resources like mushrooms don’t respawn. I’m loving the game so much but please they need to address that.

[@repoowx4360]

if u die 50 times at boss its good to make little break to not rise anger. Game do this in 2 ways, first is items brake u need to go repair - short breake, and the crafting items farm to longest brake. You can put healing rune in weapon and you can switch weapons when you need to cast heal. I die so often but my repair cost never was more than 42 bronze coins and you have items who repair ur items.

[@RCmetal11]

i genuinely dont understand how people are having a problem with durability. I died to the first boss 5-6 times and nothing was fully broken. I have yet to be hampered by my stuff breaking in the 5ish hours ive played. As for the limited healing, its clear to me that plenty of people havent played demon souls and bloodborne, because the system was the same there. And, as im seeing in this game as well, you eventually just start building such a reserve of items that it stops mattering. Im already at the point where i have like 30 healing items on me. I do fully agree with needing the storage chest to be able to be accessed from vendors etc though.

[@_Cypher__]

Most of the complaints about the game could literally just be solved with a little critical thinking and preparation via in-game systems

[@フフウェイ]

It's easy. My problem with durability is that I don't like it. That's about it. I played for 22 hours or so, and made a pretty busted build with infinite stamina and melee + ranged attacks that could pretty much stunlock bosses using freeze + breaking poise. I never found the game too hard, but *I fricking hate* my gear breaking due to any reason. It's not a fun mechanic. Especially if it can happend during bossfights(which did not happen to me but I don't envy the poor sod that it happened to), and especially when you're expected to mine out hundreds of materials but your tool only allows you to gather a limited amount of resources before it breaks, and especially when you gear breaks from falling too hard, y'know, in a game that has platforming as one of its core activities. I hate having to run back and repair, it's time that takes me away from doing what I actually enjoy, which is exploring and fighting. And I guess I like the story too in this game.

[@muse0583]

Gonna be honest, I'd rather play no rest for the wicked in its current state than any other AAA arpg on the market right now. Not saying things can't get better, it's just already incredible.

[@Collywood759]

I think my only true issue with the game as is it stands, which is understandable with it being the first iteration of early access, is how the weapon requirement system works. In tandem with the weight system, it's extremely punishing. I'm not sure if I just progressed too quickly, but I found myself consistently finding weapons and equipment that were ten levels above mine or had requirements that would take ten levels of just pumping a stat to use. Through my time in the game I only found three weapons with a strict strength requirement. Everything else required 16-42 points of another stat, i.e. intelligence or faith. Couple that with being required to pump consistent points into equip load, I found myself never being able to use another weapon. My hope is they up the default equip load and add in more weapons with lower requirement. I understand the concept of realms and different character builds, but getting a legendary bow that requires FORTY TWO dexterity with my character level only being 15, feels wrong.

[@xShredsx]

I dont know if I agree with the food issue. It works, I think this is a personal opinion issue, and a playstyle issue. REALLY early game you have crappy options for healing agreed. 1. Its a souls-like game, you want difficult, and punishing. Pretty punishing going through all your consumables because you can't handle a boss. Materials are so plentiful, and enemies also drop food. 2. You've used all your consumables....you're probably not ready for that boss. If you take the time to do some dailies before facing a boss, or grabbing some gear you should be able to stock your supplies pretty nicely. I've found that most cooked foods are very generous in the amount of health they provide + the later recipes all provide additional buffs to your character to further help combat. 3. Use multiple weapons. As soon as you reach sacrament you have access to 2 healing runes (I think they might have added the second in the first patch.) use them. You optain a plethora of focus potions + can craft them, AND you gain focus from smacking enemies. That's arguably better than an Estus flask/rechargable healing pot. Pretty early on I wanted a second weapon simply to have access to more runes to play with as well as playing around with the gem slots on common gear. 4. There are also gems (again you get these early) that provide healing on kill or block. Use the upgrade system, and gem system to make a common weapon more powerful..or again just use more than 1 weapon set. If you're low on health swap to a focus generating/healing set and play more cautiously until you have your health back. Like I said, I think you have a playstyle problem here and/or treating the game as if its strictly a Souls-like and not its own thing inspired by souls and ARPGs. Instead of making the game more like one game because "its annoying to have to grab materials", find a way to fix the problem within the confines of the existing design. Be more diligent when exploring, grab more food items and try to conserve. Play better. The game doesnt put you in a permanent fail state if you die to a boss. Go back to an easy area clear it and collect all the mushrooms, and herbs (buy from vendors as well), upgrade the tavern and you get heals.

[@SeanO-ri5ri]

As I am strictly a PC game player and have not touched a console controller in 25 years.. I find this game very challenging while I use a keyboard and mouse. Manuvering is very clunky and awkward during fights and just running around in general. I may have to buy a controller to really enjoy the game.

[@KozzyDaViking]

Thinking about the issue of having a finite number of non regenerating healing items and bosses, one system that could work that exists in most ARPGs is have the boss drop healing items at various milestones in the fight. For example, Diablo 3 has healing pools in the boss room that regenerate when you get the boss down to a certain health. This is assuming that Moon Studios want to keep the finite healing item system. Otherwise an Estus system would be better.

[@funky0308]

Each and everything you said stands and you are totally right. I'm sure Moon will tweak all that and fix inventory space just like reaching inventory chaest for us to be able to use it when we are at vendors. Running with two free slots from chest to vendor is just not good or fun :)

[@luigiongaming3959]

Im glad the problems are easily solved with this game. I cant wait to play this when its fully out. I dont mind having to farm for healing cuz i always just factor that in when i start a game and farm the food for hours before i begin my journey. Thats what i did with bloodborne anyway.

[@michaelgray1223]

Nice review, Noticed that you are not using parry’? Also are u using heath regen? There is also health regen on successful parry. When diing this you’ll only need to use a few food items. Learning the patterns with out using food or any pots is the best way to go. You may also be under leveled for the bosses. But … using parry skills on the LT and or throwable makes a world of difference. I’m absolutely in love w this game❤❤❤

[@DracoSD268]

So one mistake I've seen on this video is that you can in fact switch your items on the fly. You DO NOT have to open your inventory to do so. There is a system in the game that allows you to do it on the fly and it is explained to the player as you go through the tutorial and beginning stages of the game. Also, in my opinion, I feel that the only ARPG aspect that this game has is solely on the gear side and that's it.

[@l0rdfr3nchy7]

There's a quest in Sacrament that lets you save an innkeeper giving infinite supplies of food. I'm having the opposite problem where the balance of the game goes out the window when you enter a boss fight with 30 heals.

Yes. OMG! The resource issue. When you are crafting, it should pull from your storage.

[@sprintz33]

Ran into a wall with the first boss as i tried to learn parrying. What i learned, the healing isnt actually the thing that potentially bugs me. Its the armor degradation. I can practice bosses without using healing items. Thats easy...I just dont use them. Armor degradation though will slowly chip away at my resources. As long as im good enough, this should never hit full blown problem. Im probably not good enough.

You have plenty of money though from selling stuff, and you can buy herbs etc. to make food if you're out, so you don't have to grind. Unless you are just stuck dying all the time, which should give you a clue that you either need to consider a new build or (more common) level up and upgrade your gear.

its okay to have estus consumed and not resupplied, we have such setups in deamon souls and bloodbornes, but both game the "estus" drops at high droprate and recovers a bunch, as well as don't need to find a some kind of stupid fire pit to make those. like bloodborne, its hard but you can literally get 99 blood vein within 10mins of grinding and that taken account into the drops on the way, these 99 veins could last may be for 10h or even longer. Here before i found a good weapon, its very punishing as the stupid mushrooms recovers like nothing and you need still a herb to craft that mushroom soup. its kinda stupid.

[@chaplin006]

Durability and food system is fine the way they are right now maybe prices can be adjusted but the system is fine and is working as intended. if they did not exist death in game would have 0 meaning and going back to old areas to collect and gear up wouldn't be a thing which is what this game wants you to do. They are actually good because this is not a straight up souls like. This game is a mix of diablo, dark souls and survival/crafting games. Don't ask for it to be something it is not trying to be.

[@sephi7ac]

For me: 1- the survival elements/crafting comes off as time wasters, rather than a fun 2- platforming in an isometric game is crap 3- gathering nodes need to give more resources. Instead of 1-2, perhaps 4-5. This will help address the time wasting issue. 4- give us at least one respec. Even if not an Infinite amount, giving us at least one will help people who may have messed up their build by not knowing which weapons need which stats.

[@teifan6674]

Another "side fix" for the food system, if they want to keep it, could be to fully commit to make it an "estus" system - as in, you can only equip so many food items at a time, and they are refilled at a checkpoint, kind of like if your character is provisioning between their attempts. Kinda like monster hunter... And like bloodborne. Because yes, the bloodborne system sucked as well, but not THIS much. They could even then have it share the same slots with ulitity consumables, opening up design space. This would also eliminate the need for the "food cooldown", as it is now limited by quantity and not time, which is much, much less frustrating. Similar thing for the repair: why not make it an item, in addition (or replacement) to the money cost? It could be a common item that drops fairly often and repairs your equipment on use, so you could also use it during combat. As for the inventory, there's really no reason not to have it exactly like a normal souls like. None. Maybe for the personal inventory of your character is ok, being an arpg, but not the chests you store your items in. That makes absolutely no sense.

[@gumpthegreat1]

1. I want to be able to travel to ALL previously found spawn points. Making you travel wastes the player's time without adding anything. 2. Rework the healing system. Making ALL healing based on craftables? UGH. There is a reason souls games have Estus flasks that recover after resting or dying. Annoying AF to have to make food all the time. 3. Rework the durability system, or remove it entirely for something else. Honestly, I hate durability in all games, and would love to see it simply removed entirely.

I agree, it sounds like they're just tryign to make the game into a souls game and dont like the crafting/collection mechanics. I'd argue the estus flask would make the game easier and antithetical to it being punishing. They also clearly havent really tried much, there are healing runes available from a vendor in the town as soon as you find it. Slot one into a weapon and have it as back up, all it costs is focus, which is generated easily in combat and through the plethera of focus potions (also craftable) that you can use. There are also gems that give health on kill/block and random gear that can get that effect and/or regen.

[@who-cares182]

problems with items breaking down, HINT check the rune vender. Need food to stay alive, try health on hit on your weapon and increase that with a gem, if you are smart you try and find health and stamina on hit on your weapon with extra health gem that gives you additional health on hit, i'm almost a tank with extreme low item weight and less stamina costs on armour and rings. Getting nocked over edges, maybe you should not attack right away but maybe you should position yourself so the monster has the drop on his back so you can nock him over the edge. Potions have not even used a single one i just sell everything that has to do with potions and food crafting. Also pay attention to your items, what negative an item might have, it may have high damage but you lose max health by x points, or stamina increased on each hit, etc etc. Sure there are issues, like buyback option at venders, the remove gem or rune, as far i can see you can remove the gem or rune but destroys your item, i want to destroy the gem or rune instead and keep my item, have not been able to do that yet!! but we wait and see i'm sure they find a solution to it soon. This is not your tipical hack and slash game like diablo or poe, you need to play it smart in so many ways, attack to soon and you get nocked of an edge or get a brutal beating when you attack to many monsters at once, you can take them on one by one by luring one away of push it away.

The biggest issue outside the poor optimization is gear durability. Because it's so brutal you can't decide to try to take out a boss by trying to learn to parry or beat him without healing, because around 5 deaths and your gear is broken. Also with the fixed camera being the levels have such elevation changes, there needs to be a way to see what i am dropping down into.

I love this game ! Really enjoying my time so far but I am extremely frustrated with weapon durability system. I personally would remove it all together. I never find silver copper coin and it is required to repair my gear. If I do somehow get my hands on it and repair full gear, it breaks again after 3 deaths. It discourages me from continuing to play. To me it’s worse than the mushroom farming for health. Enemy’s don’t respawn so leveling and finding coin is difficult and Fillmore charges way to much.

[@jollyroger5838]

When you have 100 coins, it changes to one silver coin. The repair system is just way to expensive and unnecessary in the first place

The sword that the Crucible boss drops is the exact same sword that the first boss outside sacrament drops. Edit: in bloodborne I would sometimes have to do runs for vials.. I hated it.

[@mattcoppel141]

I think all your issues are your problem, being you. 1. Foid is easy to farm, and buyable, not hard to have several full stacks before you get to sacrament. 2. Durability, i have stacks of the durability item to regain it, but also you can add the repair rune as early as lvl 4 in sacrament and before that its free repair.

[@realmweavergaming7129]

I would say this isn’t any different than Dark Souls Remastered. Dark Souls has durability on items and when you die you drop your souls. When you lose in No Rest for the Wicked, your lose durability and you lose your food. Honestly it’s not at punishing as Dark Souls Remastered. That aside, I hear you on the food switching to a crafting material when you run out instead of switching to another food stack. As far as inventory slots and management, that was my biggest issue so I hear you on that.

[@minoas-sunbro]

Loved the combat, artsyle, atmosphere, music and exploration. Inventory management is bad though.

[@LxAxE]

I think the Stamina is fine. In Elden Ring its kinda useless to enhance your stamina. Also you can change the food without going into the inventory... its kinda hard to do, but it works. The switching to the next best food when running out would be a good change, though.

[@ketsi3079]

yes exactly, the stats should be bad at low levels and get normal and good when level up. in dark souls games the staminabar is already fine and no need to upgrade it unless you want those 1 or 2 extra swings

[@grixmaw]

I literally turned the game off in that cave that you talk about durability problems. I ran into the same issue with falling and breaking my gear. By the end of it I had no gold to even repair. And the game loop is so broken that even going back to other zones is painfully difficult because again, your gear is broken, so you can't even kill the enemies unless you perfectly dodge. So you're running around trying to run away from enemies just so you can find a chest with some kind of gear in there. Not sure what the developers are thinking here, but this game is just negative feedback loop after negative feedback loop. Kinda like they're saying "Get good, or don't bother playing".

How is a person supposed to "Get Good" when the penalty for trying to get good by trying things over and over again has compounding negative gameplay loops? Help me understand how this is a good development decision for someone who is not good, and wants to get better, but the system as currently designed to wipe all your resources eventually leaving you in a state where you're completely out of gold, health resources and items because they all broke. At that point, trying to go back and get any of these would be as hard or even harder than the content you got stuck on.

This game need some series improvement, 1, the lag and loading is so crazy, 2. So many quality of life, like why can’t you sell stuff from chest? Where are any icons to know where I’m going, where do I even store my stuff? It overwhelms you to hard at the start making it feel rushed and intimating, a massive improvement could be that as soon as you beat first boss you get a home, a small base so you can store stuff and get yourself settle, but no hell I don’t even know how you get a home it doesn’t tell you just that you can, but this just feel like a mess, along with some balancing issues and enemies who just do not stop attacking, not knowing what climbable and easily falling off cliffs and ledges, and equipment weight! What the point in getting great stuff when you can’t even fully equip it! They should just remove the weight limit completely like an actual Diablo game, I hate having to put point into that when I could be putting them into others that help me survive this game! let us play and use what we want, this game has worth I can see it, gameplay if repetitive and too sluggish (they need way more stamina or fast stamina regen to make it more fast pace, feels like dark souls 1 and 2 here) is fun, just some more guides and lot of quality of life stuff

I cannot stess how wrong you are on the healing and repairing part, you can get stats to heal on parry/health regen (which is op)/heal on getting hit/even base materials such as mushrooms heal and most important of all, you can literally buy a rune for your weapon to HEAL OR REPAIR GEAR using your focus which completely removes the mass consumption of both money and materials/food.

Almost every complaint you have made in this video centers around the premise that you're making too many mistakes as a player. Which is not a good argument, because when you boil your argument down, you are asking for the game to be easier and/or less punishing. You might as well ask for an Easy Mode at that point. I'm not good at this game, but at no point did I ever run out of heals or have all my armor break and I've died two dozen times in 10 hrs of play. Beyond that love the game, I want it to run better, and have some quality of life stuff that saves time, but it's pretty damn good already.

[@_Cypher__]

I agree, the game is perfectly playable because you can see the lack of durability on equipment and food coming up on you way in advance and change course accordingly to avoid the total loss of either. The game does not hide the fact that healing is finite and your equipment will break with the notifications on screen of low durability equipment.
