Their medium is a hilarious \u2013 if not dispassionate \u2013 post on socials that pretty much shrugs the whole thing off. For those lucky enough not to have felt its sting, Dragonsplague is a mechanic that has the Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 playerbase gripped in terror. It\u2019s an illness that afflicts Pawns and has them slaughter whole settlements including quest givers and vendors. Arisen have not been taking any chances and are sacrificing their Pawns to the Brine at the slightest hint of the sickness. Many players have criticized the mechanic for the constant anxiety it brings to the game and some are even demanding changes. The team at Capcom has seen the uproar from the Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 community and offered their response. In a post to the Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 X account, they took a lighthearted jab at the hordes of Arisen sweating over Dragonsplague. A Reddit thread discussing the post, aptly titled \u2018They don\u2019t give a f**k\u2019, saw players discussing the mechanic and Capcom\u2019s nonchalance. The primary concern that most Arisen have is the current method of curing Dragonsplague. \u201cI just want an option to cure it so I can stop throwing my pawn off cliffs and waiting for them to die,\u201d one player explained. \u201cLove the idea, dislike the execution. It\u2019s anti-gameplay since the only method to \u2018cure\u2019 it involves disengaging from the intended gameplay loop of bonding with and using pawns,\u201d another user replied. Not everyone is frustrated with Drgonsplague however. Some players actually appreciate the mechanic for honing their attention to detail in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2. \u201cI quite like it. Forces me to pay attention, and has serious consequences if I don\u2019t. That\u2019s fun, if for nothing other than immersion and shock,\u201d one Arisen argued. \u201cI like it. There\u2019s really nothing else like it out there. I also f**king love throwing pawns into a river,\u201d another more sadistic player reasoned. Love or hate Dragonsplague, it doesn\u2019t appear to be going anywhere in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2. Capcom put it in there for a reason and it looks like that reason may just be to laugh at all of our misery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 devs hear the Dragonsplague complaints and they don\u2019t care DexertoCapcom has responded to the complaints about Dragonsplague in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2.
