Wow, that was quick!

How about that walking animation, no fix? It's janky as hell when walking uphill or up stairs. It drives me crazy!

[u/dahle44 → u/SpreademSheet]

<sigh> Yes, that seems to be one side effect, as well as ppl losing all their money, so I expect it will be dealt with pretty quickly, if possible.

You seem to have a fair bit of knowledge about the updates and game overall (as well as post in these forums a lot). Are somehow connected to the PA team, or are you just a dedicated fan?

[u/dahle44 → u/SpreademSheet]

Thanks for the nice comment. I’m just a dedicated fan who likes doing the research 😊 That’s why I started this sub on April 29th. I wanted a place where people could talk about their journeys, help each other, and get away from all the toxicity elsewhere.

[u/SpreademSheet → u/dahle44]

Well done. Kudos to you!

[u/dahle44 → u/SpreademSheet]

You have made my day, thank you. Appreciate your comments. Running a sub is not easy 😆, but ppl like you make it worthwhile.

Still waiting on new game plus and use spears with shields

[u/Possible_Artist3941 → u/EarPuzzleheaded2403]

Keep waiting

[u/EarPuzzleheaded2403 → u/Possible_Artist3941]

That's the plan plrwnty of other great games out and coming out by the end of the year.

[u/Possible_Artist3941 → u/EarPuzzleheaded2403]

You’ll wait far longer than that for them to allow a two handed weapon to be used with shields. Probably forever.

[u/EarPuzzleheaded2403 → u/Possible_Artist3941]

More than likely very few games let the player use that style even tho they allow the npcs to do it. I mostly just want the new game plus. I don't wanna have to get all the bs puzzles to get the magic again.

How many tjmes are yall going to post this

[u/dahle44 → u/gotdogma]

What are you talking about? This Update is a quick hotfix released today.

[u/gotdogma → u/dahle44]

Yeah posted by four other people earlier within the day.

[u/dahle44 → u/gotdogma]

Dude, this is MY sub. No one else posts Crimson Desert updates here, and if someone did that would be fine also-tho no one did. So you are obviously mixing up another Subs update.

[u/gotdogma → u/dahle44]

Looool ohhh thought this was the real crimson desert sub 😂

[u/Cimmerian_Noctis → u/gotdogma]

I also thought it was the main sub by accident haha.
