Did anyone else that used the Nioh 2 cheat for "skill points" run into an issue where after the 1.7 patch the game no longer awards skill points at all?
I didn't use them all when I initially put it in and of course when I earned a point it went back to 1 but for the talents/weapon trees I actually placed skills in I can no longer "earn" skillpoints.
It will tell me I was "awarded" a point for using a particular weapon/Onmyo/Ninjustu but the point stays at 0, even if I use a consumable that's supposed to give me a point.
It's not a 1.07 patch issue - it's been like this since launch. With the exception of Samurai skill points, the game calculates skill points each time you gain proficiency and the calculation is:
(proficiency levels + skill points from hair locks) - skill points spent = available skill points
The codes only modify the currently available skill points rather than the amount you
should have, which is why the values reset on recalculation (axe points reset on first axe attack, etc). You've spent more skill points than you should have available, so your skill points are currently a negative number & each time you earn a skill point you get 1 point closer to 0. The game doesn't display the negative values, so it appears as if you aren't being awarded skill points. Just reapply the code when you want to spend skill points.
Since Samurai skill points don't reset, I'd recommend avoiding max points code for it and just giving yourself a ton of samurai locks and using them as needed, unless you want a constant on-screen reminder that you have 9000-something unspent skill points.
