On the flip side, it was similarly about giving them something different that you couldn’t otherwise get without having the dlc. The idea is that they weren’t going to put an ‘advantage’ behind a paywall so that people with the dlc would have a head up over those without.
The bottom line is that DLC was always meant to be about cosmetics. So you would have to find some way for them to justify making non-dlc Katanas that wouldn’t short those who paid for it… And in terms of less powerful ones for non-dlc… again not something you can just… do as it upsets the power balance, which is why both the base game star metal Katana and the dlc ones are both equal in terms of damage. Now you’ve got a neat non-dlc version of the Katana that someone with the DLC likes… well now they might feel as though they were unfairly conned out of their money.
The only reason they added non dlc katanas is so that people with said dlc wouldn’t have an edge over those without by having access to an item that they can’t have.Īnd unfortunately it’s not so easy to just ‘give the non dlc people less powerful ones or different design ones.’ funny thing about design is that different styles appeal to different people. I mean I wouldn’t object to more variety within the DLC… but it’s hard to really justify non-dlc versions of what is… a DLC item. As it sits, you can already gift DLC items to people without it, just someone else has to make it for you. Still saying you’d be defeating the point of the DLC if you just give it to people without the DLC. That’s why you don’t see their other weapons/shields in non-dlc. Reason they added in the non-dlc variants was because the weapon didn’t already exist in the game, and as I said before, they don’t want to give DLC people an edge by providing them with something they couldn’t otherwise get without the DLC. (requiring lvl 21 rather than 10… which is fitting) and the end tier one is as powerful as the DLC one… but the point was to make you -want- to buy the DLC. That and the fact the finisher on the ‘light attack’ having both a bleed and hitting like a heavy.Īs for opening up more non-dlc katanas… wouldn’t that be counter-intuitive to making people want to get the DLC to begin with? Sure, there’s 2 there already, including one more powerful than the base Katana.
I keep on getting reminded of why it’s so brutal xD. Just took it out again for a little fun and was surprised at how much I was able to shave off in a single slice. Despite that low rating of 26 (for a flawless) it actually does some pretty decent damage. If you’re going for bosses, you often want a sword and shield anyway, lest you’re grouping up.Įdit (so as not to triple post): … On second look, I actually see why I stuck with it. The damage isn’t huge, but it did well enough given that secondary charge makes it hard for NPCs at least to do damage to you. Oh and as a note, I stuck with that non-dlc Katana for most of my levels.
