ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

[CoronerZg]

Speaking of mods... are there any for tweaking the horrendous HUD yet?

 

[welly321]

Cmon when will we get an Elex 2 announcement. And PLEASE do not pull a Risen 2.

 

[Abu Antar]

I doubt that they will pull a Risen 2. If they aren't bullshitting us, it was a publisher decision that made Risen 2 what it was.

That's not a very nice first post!

It's already an RPG without a character sheet, how much dumber can it get?

The Gothic remake playable teaser may be the answer to your question, even though it is developed by THQ Nordic Barcelona, not Piranha Bytes.

Elex was on sale recently so I finally got around to buying it (the price was extortionate on release).

If you're not too far yet I HIGHLY recommend the Overhaul mod that changes some items and weapon stats around and brings many other welcome changes, since the OG balancing was pants-on-head retarded. The early phase was a combat-devoid adventure game and from the mid-game on it was a mind numbing roflstop devoid of any challenge.

I'm on my 2nd run now with the mod and so far it's a MUCH better experience.

Just erased all my saves and installed the mod. Now i can't remember what kind of difficulty i was playing on. Any recommendations considering the mod changes?

Ad difficulty - I'm about 30 hours in now and I'm very comfortable with Normal. The retuned weapons make killing early/midgame mobs easier (i.e. viable) but you're still stuck with the vanilla armour progression so you're kindda a glass canon until lvl25. On lvl17 I can kill Molochs and Slugbeasts but I get two-shotted. Personally I prefer trash mobs to be relatively quick to dispatch and if I want challenge I venture into more dangerous territories. I may switch to Hard late game when I'm roflstomping everything.

In general I love what they did with the balance. I play a melee Zerk and the weapon balance is perfect RN. Also they overhauled the Elex potions so you can't just spam dozens of stat points in a short time. Apparently there's a huge improvement to range but my last run was a range Cleric and it was boring. Melee has been always lightyears more fun in PB games.

The only thing I'm wondering about is the endgame gear requirements. Most of the legendaries and class 3 weapons have 85+ reqs and I just don't know if imma get that high, now that Elex potions aren't as easily spammable. Maybe a slight oversight on the part of the mod authors.

cvv the mod so far is amazing and it made, at least the early game, much more enjoyable. I am doing a ranged beserker and a melee cleric and i am having much more fun fighting than runing around with an npc doing the killing instead while i exploit the hell of the terrain.

Yeah, PB did a piss poor job balancing this game, that's for sure. A price for a small team I guess, Kingdom Come is also amazing and the balance is also a shitshow.

I already enjoyed this game but with this mod and the tips from click4gameplay i am liking it even more. Before i could only defeat enemies in single combat but i just wiped an outpost with 10 reavers next to your camp, and it was fun.
I also managed to defeat Duras with my aspiring Cleric while wearing no armor. He could still 2 shoot me but i am playing much better.

I am doing both playthroughs in difficult difficulty.

Björn Pankratz singing Journey. Never knew i needed that before.

 

[cvv]

Holy shit. And the motherfucker never does interviews in English.

 

[Alienman]

With the power of ELEX!

 

[Murk]

He's not bad.

 

[CoronerZg]

He's not bad.

He's great actually... that shit's hard to sing

 

[moleman]

Seems Björn injected some ELEX into his vocal cords.

 

[HoboForEternity]

wtf he actually sounds great

I am doing 2 playthroughs and he is still alive and kicking at the side of my berserker.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

So I got a new gaming rig after 10 years. Going thru Underrail right now on hard and afterwards will slam fuck this game a few times.

Buy a brand new powerful rig, first game you try is Underrail

Also download the overhaul mod for Elex (discussed ITT a few pages back) and play with that, thank me later.

 

[Darth Roxor]

gameplay overhaul mods on a first playthrough are for gigantic fags

also it is extra heresy to befoul the perfection of ELEX with illegal modifications
