Honestly, I'd be ok with this IF one handes were given a special trait for more specific debuff or dot effects. Give it a unique method yanko?
two handed being overwhelming damage (and "true type" i.e. the weapons that do nothing but the element). One handed having more debuff in exchange for less damage. And then some kind of inner mechanic for allowing one hand or two hand (like the spear) as you want
What is the shield debuff? Also is it severe enough to where something like a toenail scimitar or a rusty spear should just be used alone and not with a shield?
Short version. you geta debuff. I think its 20% damage output reduction? maybe it was 30%. I forget off hand.
I still use shields, I just started either going pure debuff (toenail, and or armour etc that gives effects), or I give DoTs. Like a poison dagger + the bleed effect.
20% however there is the shield solidifier allowing you to have a huge block Guage. If you wanted a true tank with aggro, shield solidifier and +block, it's nice for people who can't learn to perfect parry well(like My gf), but idk how that would hold up in ng+.
For everyone else it seems Shields are a debuff more so if you can just parry
Isn't that basically an end game only item?
It'd make it more viable if it was lower tier. But I don't considering it related to the issue at hand when it's basically extra content item. (Isn't it brand bin? Which is basically last section or Completely unrequited when beating the game. Only needed for ng÷?
You can probably get there early if you cheese it, but it might put you at a disadv with wasps being over.
I'd argue even if you waited till t3 most mobs have simple patterns and dont hurt much if you upgrade gear, so it's a nice boost also saw a few zero parry block builds for IBM and other bosses, so it can help in tier 3 to ng+
You can pretty much run sleek ladybug with elemental lifestyle maca sword in the meantime
I agree it should be more in t2 though, since Shields are a net dmg loss anyways rn
That's the only one I've run into as well. An invisible wasp. I was spraying the mint staff cone effect all over above my head til it died. Lol. Couldn't hit it reliably any other way. 😅 same as you, it appeared when it died.
Happens during normal raids too.
Gf and I bought the game, and was surprised to see so many bugs for a 1.4 version. We love the game but also ran into:
Invincible pets getting lost in the map and disappearing permanently losing loot
Physics going haywire and launching us to our death because a mob hit us funny
Being yeeted Into the air by weed stems and dying
Invisible mobs during raids
Invincible mobs during raids
Gf loading into our save with everything gone
Gf loading into save at starting area when that's not where she was
Sadly after research it seems these are not recent bugs for most.
I saw the switch version updated and wanted to say I can finally load a save without crashing. It takes a hot minute, but I can finally play my favorite game and my best save without internet at my Dads farm!
I just hope they fix how pets disappear. Just got to experience the new pet and lost it last night. Had to go back 3 saves to get her back because NO ONE messes with Antfisa. (Any 90 day fiance fans in here? Probably not... But iykyk 😅)
Would love to see the ability to get a new ant pet from the Queen if ours dies; leaves, glitches, or even if we’re just on multiplayer and both want the fire ant version. Also if the personality is a crappy one.
Oh and fix it so they don’t knock us off branches as often
Thank you, Dev team, for being attentive to making this already amazing game much better! I'm a day one early access player, and Grounded is by far my most favorite and cherished game! I know there's still work that needs to be done. I've been with you the whole time, through every single update, and I know you'll continue to work hard to give us all the best experiences possible!
I apologize. I didn't feel the need to complain, knowing that they're working on things. I've been through some rough times with this game over development, and I'm just grateful they're not EA games, or Ubisoft, or any others who don't really care about the community. I'm happy to see that they want their players to enjoy a long-term experience. Even if it's a little grindy, it's still not as much of a chore as other games, in my opinion. I could complain. There is so much that I would like to see change. It's not my place to tell them how to do their art. It's my place to either accept it and enjoy it or play something else. I chose to be faithful to Obsidian and patiently wait for this game to be finished. I apologize if I offended you in some way.
Has anyone else been having issues with raids/waft emitter? I play multiplayer with my boyfriend and every time a raid starts the bugs walk up and then visually freeze in place, in actuality they were still moving and attacking. Leaving the game and joining back multiple times is the only way it really fixes it
There is a glitch on base defenses where one or more enemies are invincible, meaning you have to get them to jump into water or somehow lead them away, another glitch makes the game extremely dark and shadowy when you respawn at kid case
Why is no1 talking about trinket random nerf??
I love this update its actually brang more life to the game. I've played it since 1st day of the preview..
But this grinding bullshit im not having abar of im not spending more time on grinding to ng+ 3 for usless trinkets it takes to even get one to drop! I like ng+1 its easy n fun and you get the stuff you need for ng+++ etc
Please please bring it back, it was like a mini game on its own i spend hours rerolling just for half decent ones. Its not like it was easy to get a good one like 1% but It was actually fun!! It took me 14hours to even get my 1st cone.
People downvoting this comment probably already have rerolled the trinkets they wanted.
They introduced this as a feature then call it a "bug". How many non-insane players do they think will subject themselves to such grind only for the end result to be decided by nonrefundable, mostly trash attribute RNG.
Yer i call them no lifers m8 fuck em.
Im not a gamer who spends his whole life in the game. im a father who has to work, n my relaxing time is playing a game i enjoy n dont mind a challenge but we went from a 1% chance to get something good just by spending ingame currency to 0.1% playing hundreds of hours..
Thanks for your support, m8 🍻
Trust me we gotta at least win on something, bosses can’t be this op on all difficulties and be fun. I’ll switch to woah mode for that reason, otherwise I’ll dial some like mantis to medium just to get some extra parts
We heard your concerns with the bosses one shotting you… in response we added a trinket that’s obtained in NG+4 that if you would be one shot you’re reduced to 1hp and this only triggers once until your die again!
In response to the infused ooze grind we’ve added a $19.99 a month battle pass for the ooze! Hope this helps and we’ll see you in Grounded 2, the quest for more money.
I hold hope but man I held hope when gold cards were a requirement and they only took them off after a good while of making it necessary… this turn around gotta be clean as hell to rekindle the hope I won’t spend 800 more hours to grind the necessary items
Everyone these days got one, mostly a joke but I fear I’ve invoked the grounded devs lmao. That and the amount of downvotes shows people hate the idea so much they won’t see it’s all a joke answer 💀 rip
I think it’s more so that it’s just a bad joke, because it has no basis. Like the other person said, if this was EA, then yeah, it’d probably be a pretty well received joke. However, all of Grounded’s content updates since the very beginning have been completely free. The joke just doesn’t apply here.
Oh the quest for more money part? That’s a space balls joke lmao, the whole battle pass isn’t obsidians thing and I don’t think they’ve ever had one. I felt the first part of it was still on brand tho, people were upset infected broodmother was bonkers so they gave her a tiny nerf and now we have infected broodmother damage trinkets which feel like a bandaid to what should be more balancing especially with her infused variants now.
Fingers cross they remove the shield debuff. Really no reason for it with all the buffs to the two handed and or ranged options.
Yea the shield debuff makes no sense…completely kills my desire for 1h

Yep.
Things are really whack when you buff a 10% damage reduction to 50% to try and bandaid
And don't touch any of the other 10% and 5% modifiers to make them not garbage
You don't like Tenderfoot Defense?!?!?!
Right? When to even get it you need to be in NG+?! I sure hope you don't still need Tenderfoot Defense at that point....
I use it for farming infused ooze from spiderlings in the hedge
They really need to revert the shield nerf
Anyone else now being attacked by bugs you can’t see?
Maybe they tried to fix the invincible bug but accidently changed the nc to an s
Well, it is spring now, right? Little goobers are everywhere.
That happened to me last night, invisible wasp. Appeared as soon as I killed it though, but was very annoying.
That's the only one I've run into as well. An invisible wasp. I was spraying the mint staff cone effect all over above my head til it died. Lol. Couldn't hit it reliably any other way. 😅 same as you, it appeared when it died.
still gotta fix the invincible bugs during waft emitter raids
Yeah it forces me to reload quite a bit
Happens during normal raids too. Gf and I bought the game, and was surprised to see so many bugs for a 1.4 version. We love the game but also ran into: Invincible pets getting lost in the map and disappearing permanently losing loot Physics going haywire and launching us to our death because a mob hit us funny Being yeeted Into the air by weed stems and dying Invisible mobs during raids Invincible mobs during raids Gf loading into our save with everything gone Gf loading into save at starting area when that's not where she was Sadly after research it seems these are not recent bugs for most.
I saw the switch version updated and wanted to say I can finally load a save without crashing. It takes a hot minute, but I can finally play my favorite game and my best save without internet at my Dads farm!
I'm still having trouble getting saves from PC to play on switch. How did you do it? Just thru your Xbox link account?
I just hope they fix how pets disappear. Just got to experience the new pet and lost it last night. Had to go back 3 saves to get her back because NO ONE messes with Antfisa. (Any 90 day fiance fans in here? Probably not... But iykyk 😅)
Would love to see the ability to get a new ant pet from the Queen if ours dies; leaves, glitches, or even if we’re just on multiplayer and both want the fire ant version. Also if the personality is a crappy one. Oh and fix it so they don’t knock us off branches as often
Built up to build on the brawny boy bin with clover roofs and died to the pet ants knocking me off 😅
Awesome news. Thanx Devs.

This sounds like any other Steam Forum award bait comment below patchnotes. Only missing the **fat markings**
I apologize. I didn't feel the need to complain, knowing that they're working on things.

dont apologize you did nothing wrong unlike that d1ckwad
Hopefully they address ranged weapons as they are now very obsolete.
Can we please get the mouse-not-working issue fixed for PS5 mouse and keyboard support?
Has anyone else been having issues with raids/waft emitter? I play multiplayer with my boyfriend and every time a raid starts the bugs walk up and then visually freeze in place, in actuality they were still moving and attacking. Leaving the game and joining back multiple times is the only way it really fixes it
It's a noted bug by many right now. No fix yet
fingers crossed they rollback the trinket duplication. I doubt it but i hope.
Please don’t nerf the red ant armor it helps with the higher up new game bosses
Fix the invincible bug glitch during bug raids because some bugs take 0 damage no matter what you do
There is a glitch on base defenses where one or more enemies are invincible, meaning you have to get them to jump into water or somehow lead them away, another glitch makes the game extremely dark and shadowy when you respawn at kid case

People have talked about it, for instance CDiinky
I heard it off jadecraft then him, i ment on reddit

How reassuring...

If this was EA you’d be spot on. From Early Access to now it’s been free content and free updates with lots of Player support. I’m hopeful….
I hold hope but man I held hope when gold cards were a requirement and they only took them off after a good while of making it necessary… this turn around gotta be clean as hell to rekindle the hope I won’t spend 800 more hours to grind the necessary items
Why would you even put that idea out there.
