Assassin's Creed Valhalla Patch 1.050 Out Now, Adds Difficulty Tuning, Stealth Fixes

Ubisoft taking notes from Sony games with those difficulty modifiers.

I think it's great that more options are being added, though. I know a lot of people reading this article will probably think that Valhalla isn't even that hard (myself included!) but it's nice that more people will be able to enjoy it how they want.

Is there a setting that removes all the bloat and provides a tight 30-hour experience?

Good, I can see they have done something about the difficulty settings, let's hope it's the last of it and I can go back to the settings I had before, it's boring playing on custom difficulty when they die so easily

@ShogunRok that's the main issue right there dark souls games will never have similar customized settings like this and it's a shame, but that's a different story anyways

I love how many options to tune the difficulty are.

I tried the game on my ps4 pro, but i feel that the graphics are really bad. It’s only better on ps5 ?

@clianvXAi Definitely better on PS5. Not by a gigantic margin, but noticeable (and it runs a lot better too).

Will finish it in a few months. I got tired of gaining alliances, now I have to gain two or three more. It’s repetitive and didn’t feel rewarding

Did they patch in actual skill trees to replace that nonsensical spider web of random stuff?

@huyi Its not an issue at all, From design Souls a certain way and providing an easy game is not what they want. Going by sales i think its worked out quite fine for them.

The random teleporting finally fixed then. Used to fly across the map sometimes. Hoping I can finally do the wedding as it’s not working atm.

@WallyWest well not a surprise you will say the same predictable thing all souls fans say 🙄🙄 to justify their means

@nessisonett hahaha quite a few times I've randomly be sent up into the air to certain doom! Was hilarious the first time tho 🤣🤣

only started a few weeks ago but already clocked over 52 hours

@huyi I just find the people who complain about the difficulty in Souls games are from those who never really played them or bothered to learn them. The difficulty is really overblown now as they are no where near as hard as the internet makes out. I'm also someone who thinks not all things should be tailored to me especially entertainment what in the grand scheme is not vital to life, if i can't play a few games out of the 1000's out there so what.

@clianvXAi Playing on a standard PS4 from 2014, the graphics are a BIG step down from Origins and Odyssey. Its very unfortunate. I might play it again some day on a PS5 when I get one to see how much better it can be.

@Lup the fascinating thing about it is they don't disable trophies like a lot of games do so you have a bit of room to customize your game!

@WallyWest blah blah yap yap idk, not point trying to reason with a souls fan, pointless, have better things to do

play your way and i play better games that are fair and reasonable, end of discussion

@huyi That is really cool. I'm a bit of a trophy hunter myself so that's music to my ears.

@ShogunRok Agreed. One reason I put 150 hours into the game is I could custom tailor the difficulty so it was fun, yet challenging, for me. The granular aspect opens it up to a much wider audience, instead of the developer making an educated guess on what would be a good standard difficulty for millions of different players.

@Lup yeah it's cool right? you use these settings in other games and all hell comes on you, everything is locked tight, typical, Capcom is a example lol

@frankmcma exactly my point, i guess we have to give Ubisoft some credit!

@huyi Why act immature? I'm guessing you haven't played them going your comments so you can't really comment on it can you because for all you know you could play them and find them manageable. As i said the people what complain most about the difficulty of From games are those who never played them or never played past the tutorial level. Also believe it or not the difficulty is not why From's games are loved, Elden Ring being so hyped has nothing to do with the challenge it will bring.

@Lup I'm a trophy hunter too, but I like to play games that reasonable and respect my time, if that doesn't happen they can go and do one, end of

@WallyWest I'm acting imature? Yet you are the one who is behaving like a masochist snob, I don't care about dark souls and I don't have anything to prove, I enjoy games that are fair and don't take the piss or disrespect my time I have a life and priorities, you do you, I play the way I want to play with what time I have and you do what you want to do, married life and kids will end your situation very quickly I enjoy my gaming for I can deal with but at the same time I have a life and I don't have time for nonsense or Devs who are insane and don't have responsibilities for themselves, they can go and do one, I've been gaming before you were even born and I know what is what in the gaming industry and now with all this trends to make everything 1 shot high difficulty with no respect for peoples time or life is disgusting, it's my opinion, if you don't like it then move on, my lifestyle choice is different from yours

@huyi I would agree with any other game but with Souls games the difficulty do add something.

Its great when you beat that difficult boss or that hard part of the game..A casual player will not go out of their way to look up the lore the Souls games are not really cooky cutter stuff.

Me as a average gamer even i get a great feeling when i complete that impossible part or boss and i think a easy mode would really make the game so much less rewarding or would i even say way less fun.

And i find your response to Wallywest quite rude also making a game that is not what you want is not sad from a developer. Its their vision of how they think their game would shine the most and i can respect that not everything needs to be for everyone.

As a older person you should show more respect dunking on developers just because they have a different idea how they want their games to be played. Nobody ows you anything why do you think they should anyway. There are quite a few things to make it a little more easy. Summons from friendly NPC's or even some helpfull players.

Being older does not give you extra credit anyway me as a old man believes this. I hate it when older people talk like they should get extra credit just for being old.

@Flaming_Kaiser huh really? Then do what you want to do, idc about your dark souls game, I have a life, a husband and about to have kids, telling me this stuff is pointless, like I said, I've been gaming since the Amiga days and I have history but I don't care or want to deal with garbage games that don't respect my time, I'm not and I feel that will not repeat myself again, play your game the way you want to play, I don't have that option in life, I'm not going to spill my whole life on here, I'm going to keep this neutral so don't push it I won't go that far in this conversation, good night and be done with this

@huyi WOW, i haven't insulted you or questioned your gaming ability. You're acting immature because you refuse to have a civil discussion and instead insult me and go of on one. Some advice act like the adult you claim to be and take a chill pill.

@huyi Wow you are such a joke its funny. Cant handle a different view i have seen a lot more parents that dont act like a entitled little kid. Congrats you act like a kid i would love to hear what great parenting skills you with such a short temper.

@huyi woah wooooaaahhh slow down please... having a spouse, kids and all the responsibilities in the world won't stop you from being able to beat any souls game. What actually stops you is buying too many games, hoping to beat them in a HURRY and not concentrating on one to master, that's just it. Relax.

I'm waiting for the patch to add neon yellow lines to climbable surfaces.

If you have prime and haven't claimed it already there are some Valhalla items there you can get, think current items from the dark knight pack.

@ApostateMage God, the whole of Valhalla's open world would glow yellow and probably blind you.

Surprised with the number of fixes, have just finished main campaign, after already finishing both DLC's, 120 hrs with no issues.
