DDDA Like Hard Mode for DD2 - (Custom Difficulty Tweaks Preset)

IN ENGLISH :

I was surprised when browsing that no one made this preset so i figured i would make it.

So, this is a Custom Difficulty Tweaks preset, big thanks to them for their mod, and of course you'll need to download it along with REFramework.

I tried to make it to mimic DDDA's Hard Mode.

What it does :

- Arisen takes 4. 5x damage

- Enemy stagger resistance is tripled (x0. 333)

- x2 XP and DCP from monsters and x2 XP from quests (Without this, the monsters seems to not give double the xp)

- x5 Gold dropped by monsters (so you should get between 500 and 2500 gold depending of the ennemy i tested)

- No Loss Gauge penalty on dying (EDIT : Doesn't seem to work, the issue is probably from CDT, i've made a bug report on it's page, use No Reload Penalty instead)

- Blocked using curative at 0 health

Everything else remains unchanged, CDT sadly doesn't allow to modify Stamina usage rate so i couldn't modify it, same for rift cristals.

You can use Enemy HP and Damage Increase if you want more of a challenge, i didn't change enemies' health since the wiki says it is unchanged. I use it with x4 small enemies health, x3 boss enemies health and x2 dragons health.

Installation :

Install the requirements

Download manually my preset file

Put the custom-DDDALikeHardMode.json file in Steam\steamapps\common\Dragons Dogma 2\reframework\data\CustomDifficulty

Launch the game

Open REFramework (usually insert key)

Go down to Script Generated UI

Extend it and Custom Difficulty Tweaks as well

Scroll down to Preset Save / Load

Select DDDALikeHardMode in the Available Backups

Once it appears in Backup Name , click the Load Backup button

If you scroll up to Damage taken, extend it and see that the Player takes 4. 500 damage, then you're good to go.

Big thanks to talimity for their CDT mod and praydog2 for the REFramework

Have a good one.

EDIT : I'm not familiar with the tag and permission system so i apologies if i did something wrong, just tell me so i can modify it, thanks !

EN FRANCAIS :

Salut.

J'ai été surpris de voir que personne n'avait fait ce preset alors je me suis dit que j'allais le faire.

C'est un preset pour Custom Difficulty Tweaks, un grand merci pour leur mod, que vous devrez télécharger avec REFramework.

J'ai tenté de faire un mimique du mode difficile de DDDA (j'ai pas trouvé en français déso).

Ce qu'il modifie :

- L'insurgé prends 4. 5x de dégâts

- La résistance à l'étourdissement et au renversement des ennemis est triplé (x0. 333)

- x2 à l'XP et aux PC venant de monstres et x2 l'xp au quêtes (sans ce paramètres, les monstres n'octroient pas l'xp bonus)

- x5 à l'or laissé par les mons
