Topic: Castlevania harmony of despair coming this week !

[Deko21]

Pretty much, and with equips that focus on strength (Berserker mail especially), he's pretty much done before he gets to finish his first "Blood art Technique", although my Richter isn't strong enough to do that just yet.

I have 3/4 of Simons armor, still missing the cape, and I usually prioritize with Sage rings since I prefer having the MP to use my subs for training purposes and being versatile over boosting my attack power (plus its satisfying combo-ing the whip + spin kick). Saving up for that ring that helps with training sub weapons though; almost halfway there too, but till then I train them the traditional way (not using multiple slots or the BSD trick however). I do really need to farm for those thief rings so I can farm for the fuma gear, as that probably will give me what I want in terms of MP regen but still very decent stats. Won't complain if I find the Retro armor though xD

lol, looks like we're missing the same piece.
If you want, wanna farm for the cape with me?

Anyways, my thoughts of this game. Normal is too easy. Least for me since when i first started and killed gergoth, it dropped the samurai armor, which made everything deal baby damage against me. And the game is alright, but its addicting as hell thanks to farming for good equipment. This is also the first game where i'm not on the hundreds in the leaderboards, or the thousands.

Yeah, I'd be happy to help you farm for the cape. Last I checked, you were using Julius right? I'll be on later tonight about 11 hours and 30 minutes from now (8:00pm on my end, but Im not sure of your time). Besides, Legion is a very good boss to train sub weapons on, especially for me since I don't use the BSD trick or the same sub, multiple slots trick. I want to train Richter the normal way, as that in a sense lengthens the game for me (perhaps for the other characters I'll use those tricks). Though do you have a thief ring? it'll probably help if either one of us can get our hands on some, that way it will drop a little easier. I still am farming Hard chapter 2 to find those rings, haven't gotten one yet, but then again I have school so I don't have much time to play (in comparison to most people I mean xD).

Probably was easy since you got the samurai armor so early    Took me a few more chapters before I found that armor myself, by then I went and ran on hard mode to gather even stronger equips. I unfortunately am in the hundreds last I checked, was at 74th when I first started though. Ah well, Im enjoying myself enough through working with people online. Once I do have the better equips (first aiming to get that cloak, then my next armor goal is the fuma gear), then I'll think about increasing my score.

Send me a PM on PSN so i know when you're ready. Other than that, i'm just trying to get a stupid valamnway. I got a claimh solasis, 5 dracula souls and mercury boots but still. Also got all of my characters except Charlotte decent equipment and sub weapon levels so i can tackle hard with them.

Maybe i should feel ashamed for playing this game, but its like a drug.

Also must resist the urge to rip on the CV fans here again.

[KaZudra]

Anyone else thought any Maxed out Whip user should have Holy added to their whip?

[Opium]

I'm just trying to join teams to farm with, but I keep getting kicked off.  I don't have any of the totally broken equipment yet and I want it!

Should have checked here before I went online, sorry about that ^^". Ok, tonight I'll be starting up a group so I'll invite you when I see you on. I actually was waiting for you to invite me to a game, but then a friend invited me to a game so I went and joined his group instead. So this time around I'll make a few runs with you on Ch 8 (I'll also invite some of the friends I've been playing with, just to help things along). My friends may request for other chapters after a while though, cus Im sure grinding one chapter repeatedly will get boring for everyone (though personally I can keep playing Ch 8 as many times as needed, just for that cloak and to train my subs). I seriously need to get myself a thief ring and the winged/sonic/fuma boots xD but that's another thing I'll need to farm for at some point.

The game isn't bad so you shouldn't feel ashamed for playing the game. Just think of it as fan service or something along those lines (not the best Castlevania game, but its good enough to play). Its not like the game is completely unplayable and not fun at all.

Anyone else thought any Maxed out Whip user should have Holy added to their whip?

Hmm, that would be nice, but aren't there some enemies who are resistant to holy damage? There was always at least one in all the other castlevania games, though Im not so sure here. Im already pretty satisfied with the damage output of Richter (and Im not even maxed on my subs yet).

Ah, broken weapons I stay far away from (though currently maining Richter so that doesn't apply). Anyways, you just need to find a decent group and show off your skill for a few levels. Then you could ask if you can get some help for farming. What character are you playing as? My first guess is Soma or Alucard (the only two with broken weapons at least).

[Desmond]

Are there any other Simon players out there? I could've sworn he had a projectile, but every time I do the move (a shoryuken motion + the square button) my MP goes down, but nothing happens except for the normal whipping motion.

Hadoken whip for a Fireball from the tip of his whip.

Lol. In all seriousness here's a video showing what I mean:
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair - Simon Projectile Glitch?

Also, I'm kind of a trophy whore, and I just cannot get the 'Boned' trophy.
Add me on PSN if you can help or you also need it. (PSN is on the left.)

There's been a number of glitches in the game like getting stuck in Dracula's second form (just happened yesterday), and getting stuck on loading screen glitch. The game needs a bit of tweaking, but then again that problem is also present in the xbox version... But that projectile glitch is something that must be fixed if nothing else.

Hmm, I can help out with the Boned trophy (I already got it myself but always happy to help). I'll be running with Jorge and his group the next time I go online, but if you're on before him I can quickly help you out (fastest way is through killing a boss in normal mode (as my Richter already has equips from hard mode and his damage output should put the boss down quick enough). If you want to do it in hard mode, then it might be a bit difficult but still possible (got mine while everyone else was dead and I fought Astare in hard mode). Doesn't matter who kills the boss, everyone will get the award from what I understand.

Not at home at the moment so I can't add you just as yet though. Got studies right now so feel free to add me when you have time. My psn should also be on the side, if not look at the HOD gamertag PSN version thread 

[Desmond]

Okay, Jorge already added me. I'll add you as well. The easiest way for everyone not fighting the boss to die would probably be spikes or fire. And yeah there are plenty of glitches. I've fought an invisible Dracula 3 times already.

I think the funniest glitch I've seen was when I failed a level (with 5 other people), but there was one guy left, and the timer still had 15+ mins left on it. But the funny thing was that one of the players, who was a skeleton, was visually pulling off Alucard moves (could see Valmanway slashes), and about 20 seconds after the match failed (it was stuck on the screen for a while), the skeleton randomly exploded.

oh that's always fun, invisible dracula. Actually when I ran into Dracula getting stuck in second form, everyone else couldn't see dracula at all. So I got the other side of the glitch there xD Though some of my recent deaths have been the result of the boss teleporting right on me even though they technically stood in a different spot (Like second form Dracula from the wall slides right to the center, or Astarte teleporting closer to me and me getting hit). Can't say that aspect is fun

Oh wow, that sounds awesome xD I ran into something similar myself, but seriously the game needs some fixing. Maybe I'll go email Konami in regards to this (and push for more DLC while Im at it).

"FAILED" (and yet Julius is right there all nice 'n alive, chilling)
Fun with the CVDungeon HD Classic Castlevania run.

Hmm, how about the "Success" and Alucard or Soma with a valmanway using instant transmission and jumping around while everyone just stands there?

Another thing we haven't tested yet; the glitch in chapter 10 that allows you to skip up to near the final section of the chapter without fighting the mummy, Frankenstein's monster, and death.
