Update queued: String fix for the Sacred Chime Hammer.
Caedwyn  [author] 18 Jul, 2023 @ 6:51am 
That is missing a C. Thank you.

In English, I've found that the tier 5 weapon is called the "Sacred Shime Hammer".
Bug?

good but lepel

Like the idea behind a tank who is empowered in the darkness; not many of those floating around. and front row cleave is a nice touch. He's got a spot on my torchless teams, however I wish he'd be updated with a fuller set of trinkets.

The sounds for multi-hit and dark barrage sound a bit off, would suggest to change them to something else. They sound like a metal pipe falling down the stairs in the distance. Also there is no sound for when his attacks are dodged.

Id love to play the class, but im not playing in torchless mode so dislike
Goulagmaster 19 Jul, 2022 @ 3:14pm 
is there some hidden reason he misses more often than leper with his first attack? I remember now why i removed this mod before. Like i'm in a level 1 dungeon and he misses 4times in a row on an ennemy that has no dodge (at this point leper is better).

pls update I love it
Mosley was right 4 Mar, 2022 @ 6:01am

i'm sold it looks so good it brings me back so many memories from dark souls 2 thank you
LuLoski 19 Oct, 2021 @ 7:56pm 
I really like his moveset but it kinda concerns me that he's so small. Would you be able to enlarge him a little?

Ayy finally someone who appreciates dark souls 2!

I have to agree with what WaspBot said here, please change or lower the attack sound volume. I've tried everything just shy of turning down the sounds. Other than that, it's a solid class. Thank you.
WaspBot75 27 May, 2020 @ 7:16pm 
Pretty good, i personally would change his attack sounds.

Btw if you decide to make FumeKnight, make it so he won't go in the same party with a royal aegis
Caedwyn  [author] 1 Feb, 2020 @ 8:43pm 
I really want to. I can tell you're a fan, too, by your name.

It's just a matter of procuring art.

Thanks! We're enjoying our honeymoon in Thailand.

grats on marry bro :)
Caedwyn  [author] 16 Jul, 2019 @ 5:47am 
I have a Darkest Souls trinket mod I've had sitting around. I have some, but not all, art for it.

I guess I could look at that, but I'm busy af right now. I'm getting married, and that takes priority.

Will there ever be a CC/CoM Trinket for the Royal Aegis? Same goes for the Lord's Blade, Samurai and Abysswalker.
trollwuzu 27 Jun, 2019 @ 8:20pm 
I don't think he's too strong. He requires darkness for his full potential which is risky. He also has same issue as the Leper which is no mobility. Also compare this class with Ironclad or Thrall which by level 3 or so deal consistent 30-50 damage. These last two are absolute monsters biggest tanks and biggest damage dealers with full armor penetration. Royal Aegis on the other hand is above average 10-30 damage.

The bell sound is SOOOOOOOO SATIFYING !
Caedwyn  [author] 1 Jun, 2019 @ 7:31pm 
Updated.
Arfenik 1 Jun, 2019 @ 2:09am 
I agree with B Unit, he seems too strong. But I love the class I can't stop using it haha, I hope you'll nerf it.
Caedwyn  [author] 16 May, 2019 @ 4:18am 
Great feedback. Will look into some tuning changes when I can.
B Unit 117 16 May, 2019 @ 1:07am 
Really cool class idea but a little untuned. Some of his abilities really need about -10 acc. Two handed swing has 15 more acc than the leper's chop, has higher crit, can reduce prot and has some armor pierce. The leper has slightly higher base dmg and can buff his dmg to do much higher numbers than the aegis with the right setup but out of the gate the aegis feels too strong. Even his frontline aoe stun, compared to the Hellion's, has -5 acc but +10% stun chance, deals some dmg, and has no self debuff.

On the other hand his -40 dodge buffs feel weird. He starts with 0 dodge so -40 dodge isn't a penalty but then as he levels up, using these skills just gives up all the dodge you get from higher tier armors. Thematically it's cool but I think Oath should give minus Acc instead so there's more choice between using him offensively and defensively.

Everything about the character is great though. Love the design and the in combat effects. The bell sound effect is so satisfying to hear.

EPIC
Caedwyn  [author] 17 Mar, 2019 @ 8:53am 
Yep!

I assume last update were implementing simplified chinese language?
Caedwyn  [author] 16 Mar, 2019 @ 7:24am 
Sure. I'd be happy to have it.
foxical 15 Mar, 2019 @ 11:50pm 
can i send the S-chinese translation?
Taragoda 28 Feb, 2019 @ 12:42am 
PROT Slayer! Woaw he very good dmg and tank

Moved your comment to the Bug Forum, lordleowulf.

I'd like to keep the comments for quick notices, and have more technical information in the discussion forums.

The changes were uploaded. Thank you!
Meensai 24 Feb, 2019 @ 1:29pm 
I see :)
Caedwyn  [author] 24 Feb, 2019 @ 1:25pm 
Probably just residue from when I moved some code.
Meensai 24 Feb, 2019 @ 1:19pm 
On a sidenote, is there a reason for

effect: .name "Oath1"

being defined twice in the "aegis.effects.darkest" file?

Line 36 & 98 are exactly the same definition.
Caedwyn  [author] 24 Feb, 2019 @ 9:13am 
Heads up for those subscribed to the thread:

Since several people have had issues with trinket spawns, I've remade the trinket file, IDs, etc, and I've made them kickstarter trinkets for a short time.

King's Ring
Royal Aegis' Soul
Rebel Greatshield

Just three for now.

Caedwyn  [author] 24 Feb, 2019 @ 9:01am 
So odd. It's working fine for me. I'll make a new forum. Let's post there.
Lord Leowulf 24 Feb, 2019 @ 8:31am 
Some improvement. My game no longer crashes on loading, just when I Exit to Main Menu.
Caedwyn  [author] 24 Feb, 2019 @ 8:04am 
Sent another update. Try now.
Lord Leowulf 24 Feb, 2019 @ 7:34am 
I have all of the DLCs, if that helps.
Lord Leowulf 24 Feb, 2019 @ 6:05am 
Nah, still crashing after I tried unsubscribing and then resubscribing.
Caedwyn  [author] 24 Feb, 2019 @ 6:00am 
Try resubbing. I uploaded a new update a bit ago.

Let me know if the problem persists.
Lord Leowulf 24 Feb, 2019 @ 5:55am 
Causes my game to crash when added to my mod list, for some reason.
N00b45454 5 Feb, 2019 @ 5:08pm 
none of his trinkets seem to spawn for me, I've reached week 72 and the only trinket I've gotten for him is the king's ring
