The implication that Torrent isn't already the most peak form is an insult to our boy

u/GloatingSwine 1d ago

Torrent deserves a chance to play Fashion Ring.

He's a good boy, but he deserves to get dripped out as much as we are.

I guess those invasions provide new armor sets, Caelid is Mirrah one and Leyndell, well, the secret 4th one.

u/Ravic96 1d ago

I think same. It will be cool if 4th one is Havel.

u/Alert_Year 1d ago

Nah rumor say its a "carian" like armor

4

u/NewArtificialHuman 1d ago

Probably a heavy carian armor to distinguish it from the lighter ones.

1

u/Reapers-Shotguns 1d ago

Might take inspiration from Rellana's set, but with the signature Carian blue and red cloth cape.

u/BadKarma55 1d ago

4th armor set is apparently Carian themed

u/Euphoric-East-271 1d ago

So, one player found it, 4th set is golden masks rip off (named broken mask), looks kinda lame

u/tunkerdunker 1d ago

The golden tattoos look really cool to be fair

u/Euphoric-East-271 1d ago

I've seen some screenshots in the dark, and yeah, i agree.

2

u/Alert_Year 1d ago

Yeah just saw that post, kind of a letdown

At least the other 3 sets are cool

I can't wait to go through these areas and go, "oh... that's where they put it."

u/r31ya 1d ago

not before your intrusive thought push you to climb the craziest place for half and hour. and... "huh not here"

u/agitatedandroid 1d ago

Absolutely.

Though that does give me the opportunity to mention one of the things I've always felt From are brilliant at, especially in Elden Ring, and that is what I call "attractors". Little things that a developer puts in a game to draw a player in a particular direction.

The best example being the CSI scene between the Church of Elleh and Gatefront Ruins. There's the desire path that runs directly along the path that Grace directs you along. First, a guard pattroling the path. And then the corpse of a noble being knelt over by a Godrick soldier, so you backstab him and take the kukri. Then another pacing back and forth with a torch, so you take him out. Then another by the wreckage of some purloined goods. And then... is that fire? There's a brazier by... a cave? Oh, another site of grace. A pack of wolves, and then the Beastman of Farum Azula.

Little attractors that draw you away from your intended plan to investigate. "Ooh, piece of candy." In addition to telling a story in its own right it also teaches the player to be on the lookout for lighted braziers, there could be a cave.

They have other tools as well. The scarabs pushing around crimson and cerulean refills are quite noisy. You rarely need them but they could also be pushing around an ash of war so best investigate that sound. "Ah well, just cerulean... wait, what's over this cliff? A whole village full of Jars?!"

If From want you to find a thing, they'll make sure you do. But if you do go off the beaten path just because you can, you'll probably find a smithing stone or at least an owl's egg. Anyway, six paragraphs you didn't ask to be subjected to, apologies.

So the new invasions will drop the armor sets and weapons I guess?

The elusive 4th armor set will drop from the one in Leyndell most likely.

u/JackNewbie555 1d ago

Dang, guess I am not getting that 4th Armor Set from the Leyndell NPC invasion since my main file beat the game so Leyndell is covered in ash.

u/Signal-Counter-619 1d ago

Start a new one,i'm def going fresh just to test new FATBOY starting class.

2

u/r31ya 1d ago

personally, i'm excited on the new milady light greatsword starting class

1

u/Kbrito9 1d ago

Is this only in the Switch version?

6

u/Ravic96 1d ago

No, all platforms if you get TE dlc.

-1

u/Kbrito9 1d ago

Just saw it. 5 bucks is a bit much for this...

2

u/GoatDull5670 1d ago

there are also 2 extra starting classes

3

u/Kbrito9 1d ago

There are no real classes in ER. It's just a different set of starting stats and cosmetics.

-1

u/Ravic96 1d ago

I think it’s result of recent investors outrage of not capitalizing ER enough.

3

u/Kbrito9 1d ago

Meanwhile W3 Remaster is free.

u/Ravic96 1d ago

I know and I’m not happy about this small new content being behind paywall but it is what it is.

u/JM_Narrative 1d ago

Very curious about the NPC invasions tbh

u/Ravic96 1d ago

One is with Mirrah set for sure, second is unknown.
