Revol posted:I'd like advice on my character. Raise your agility to at least 100 (25 ADP if no ATN spent) and you're on a good road for that, the parrying window is much shorter from what I experienced, I've so far only had success on the Hollow Footsoldiers that wield daggers and handaxes. If your weapon swings in an arc, try to hit multiple enemies with it if they're grouped together. Use throwables like Firebombs and Throwing Knives too, they're good compared to back then. Since you use one handed weapons with a shield, try using spears if they all line up (like the Royal Swordsmen do in the Bastille).

There is, it's just a different trek you have to take in that place to access it.

Explore a bit more. Hint: you have to drop into that room, it doesn't open from the outside/ground floor.

The Belfry is certainly an active place. Can't take two steps without some spirit spawning to be hit in the head by many maces.

Is there a good source of repair powder somewhere? Even with the increased durability and the ring that lessens it, the Dragonrider Twinblade still degrades crazy fast, and I'm sick of having to turn around and run back to a bonfire halfway through an area.

What's with those miniature assholes in Belfry? What sort of dmg do they do? Half of the dmg went straight through my shield.

I have to say, the slightly new backstab mechanics are throwing me off in PVP. It's significantly harder to land one for me. Though it might have something to do with the fact that I am at 69.9% equip load. Does that affect run speed?

What determines how many souls you get from Belfry PvP? I seem to be consistently getting a pittance. Also I wish the Blue Sentinels was even remotely as active as Belfry.

Kimmalah posted:His bird is actually helpful to you. Always partially open the big doors in that area, there's mammoth dudes that you can kill who still can't leave their little area, and in each of the big doors there's loot. Choose the bottom door to unlock since you can walk through it and the mammoths can't.

Convergence posted:Just a PSA: The keyboard and mouse controls are somewhere between totally broken and just really lovely. There is unfixable mouse lag (unless you use hotkey scripts which are a pain the rear end) which makes the game almost unplayable with a fast weapon. I've attacked several NPCs because of how non-obvious it is that you should NEVER EVER CLICK if there is dialouge or a menu up. Was impossible to rotate my character during creation as far as I can tell. Game tells you to press Y? Good luck figuring out what the gently caress you're supposed to push (turns out it's "N" even though there is almost no way to figure this out without blind trial and error). MKB works fine. 5 minutes in the keybinds will tell you what you need. Only thing I had trouble with was two handing weapons, but after I double checked I haven't had trouble since. E: right clicking in menus gives you all of the available context options. Robot Randy fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Apr 27, 2014 |

Elysiume posted:Belfry is non-stop, pretty much. I'm using Steam's browser because if I alt-tab I'll probably miss a summon. Isn't Blue Sentinels just the zone you're in and you need to be human? Belfry has a limited range where you can be summoned, but with how active it is right now, that's enough. You also need to wear your ring, while the Way of Blue people wear their ring, in the same zone, while human. I'm tempted to play part of the Belfry since I need chunks, but I'm trying to make this character just Blue Sentinel only with no sin, while wielding the Sinner's Sword.

Super fun warning for people just entering Brightstone Cove: Any contact whatsoever with the trap boulders instantly kills you. If you ambush the guy springing the trap and touch the boulder in the process, you die. I learned this after having missed the bonfire on the way  e: question while I'm here: If I want to infuse a weapon, do I have to get it to normal +5 first?

I learned this after having missed the bonfire on the way The upgrade and infusion paths are different, so you can get a weapon to +10 first and then infuse it, or infuse it and then upgrade it. And if you decide to undo the infusion, the "+10" (or whatever level) still remains intact.

neetengie posted:It has better scaling compared to the Sorcerer's Staff - remember this. Yeah, remembered how it worked and it's outpacing it now. I also made it a Magic Archdrake Staff, to pump the sorceries more (hexes are lacking due to lack of faith, but once I get superior ones I'll swap back or get a new staff). Still can't co-op, am I that far out of range of everyone? I'm only level 80 at the Iron Keep. I'm about to give up on swords and keep with the fire longsword forever too. I guess I could spend a few dozen thousand souls into letting me use others, but ehhh. Also half-considering speccing to just sorcery and pyromancy; splitting between sorcery and hexes is taking a lot out I think. Also you get a hilarious amount of loot with the covetous gold ring +1 and the travelling merchant's hat.

Haha, I feel like an idiot, didn't know you could loop around Bastille on its own until I watched my brother and realized I forgot to check back at a certain point. I thought you had to go through No Man's Wharf to get to the gate control by the McDuff bonfire to finish the loop.
