Which mace is it that gets good? IS it the one clerics start with, or are there others I should look out for?

Would anyone know why my game stays constantly minimized now? I've restarted my computer, steam, verified the files and it still does it. When I start the game, it immediately minimizes and whenever I try and bring it back up, it just minimizes itself again. I can hear the main menu music and everything so the game is actually running. I don't have any anti-virus stuff in the background or any new software that might be bugging it suddenly, so I am lost as to what it is.

I start regretting doing white phantom stuff. I have 31 tokens of fidelity but barely get summoned for Old Ones to get the last 4 sunlight medals because my soul memory is probably way too high at 1.6 Million.

Is there anyway to disable the stupid as gently caress censorship on names? There was a guy who summoned me, Thomas. Because his name had 'Ho' in the name, it said T**mas.

Sydin posted:It doesn't? My Greatsword +10 is pretty much stomping anything I come against. It's definitely better than making it Raw (460 +5 Raw vs 400 +10 Regular with ~+150 from scaling). We're talking about greatsword class weapons, not the greatsword. On average most greatswords do ~400 with 40/40 dex/str, and most greatswords are quality scaling. By comparison, the A str scaling Mastodon Greatsword has ~460 damage with just 40 str.

lonter posted:Which mace is it that gets good? IS it the one clerics start with, or are there others I should look out for? Clerics start with it and Leningrast sells it. Its not anything insane on its own, if you were going strength build you'd be better off with a poopbat or a giant sword, if you were going dex you'd be better off with anything. (Well, it does hit really hard, but it has poo poo range too, and if you're putting points into Str or Dex other things will hit hard too) But its fantastically good considering how little stats it requires, so its amazing for min/maxing spellcaster builds.

But ya, the mace the cleric starts with and the blacksmith sells are really good starting weapons. Might be replaced with better things later, but to start it's fantastic. I'm still using mine on my hexer. Hits for like 400+ with dark weapon while one handing.

Caik posted:It's weird. Sometimes i can pull the first 2 one at a time, but sometimes all of them start attacking me while I'm busy killing the first or second one. No idea why they got pulled, i should be far enough away. I just slowly walk up to where the first guy gets aggro on me, run back a bit and no one interferes. Do the AI's mechanics change at all after NG? Caik posted:
fuuuuck that, hes aggressive as hell too. I guess you could hop the ledge and cheese him out Matlock Birthmark posted:It's a mace in this game it's probably good.

I should change it up but I can't let it go.

I figure it's been discussed but do the Blue Sentinels ever see any action? I've been in the cov a while now and no hits, now that I've found the blood dude I'm seriously considering switching teams.

The Chinese one is blank so you can copy it over the English list. Now I know that brave knight who helped me kill the sentinels was actually named CuntDestroyer.

Apparently it gets better in NG+, but you can find targets with the blue orbs in NG if you just keep spamming them about 10-20 times.

Yes but it takes time, its the covenant that sees the least action / takes the longest for the community to get going. (well, nobody remembers dragonbros even exist lol) When everybody's beaten NG at least once and we're all running around on gimmick builds or NG+ runs where we've killed all the NPCs and we're feeling confident about invading more, then bluecops will see a ton more action. Also people need to stay in way of the blue, but everybody goes bluecop and so there's no blues for the cops to assist. Some people need to keep the way of blue ring on! You don't get penalized for changing teams, so feel free to go invasion happy for now and then switch back later.  If you don't like being invaded join the way of the blue and keep the ring on, that way bluecops will kill the invaders for you, and they'll actually have something to do

Typically you won't see any action until you reach NG+ levels of Soul Memory, because that's when people unwittingly go on an NPC murder spree which pumps their sin up a lot (additionally, you need at least 10 sin to be invaded by a Blue Sentinel). As for defending Way of Blue members, I would imagine that hardly anyone stays in that covenant.

How do I open the chests in iron keep on the flaming platforms? Even stacking all my fire resist there's no way I can reach the chest and open it before burning to death. Someone said to look for water to douse the flames with but I'm not seeing anything like that. Specifically, I'm talking about the chest in the big room with all the archers. I tried throwing some holy water urns on the burning platforms but it didn't do a drat thing.

There are Pharros contraptions that create pools of water. It heals you and rolling around in it increases your fire resistance.

That's the only part where i noticed a change, because it was completely fine in NG. Slowly walking up to them only works for the first guy (and second maybe, i can't remember right now). The other 3 are impossible to pull solo. They also added one of the fat guys from the forest. All phantoms of course. bef posted:fuuuuck that, hes aggressive as hell too. I guess you could hop the ledge and cheese him out Doesn't really work. If you jump over the ledge he runs back behind the walls. You can hit him with the magic greatsword and maybe other attacks that go through walls. I died more to him than any other boss in the game. Attack him with magic and running away works, but drat it's annoying. Caik fucked around with this message at 23:24 on May 1, 2014 |

So after a few attempts at pushing through the last bit of Huntsman's Copse on intensity 2 so that I could reach the shortcut and be able to fight the Skeleton Lords without facing super strong archers and phantom butcher things, imagine my surprise to find that using an aesthetic doesn't actually close that shortcut and I'd been completely wasting my time!

Man Huntsmen cove is such a lovely area. Annoying paths, tedious enemies, bullshit bosses, everything's loving brown and boring. First area in the game I really don't wanna play through.

Zaphod42 posted:Also people need to stay in way of the blue, but everybody goes bluecop and so there's no blues for the cops to assist. Some people need to keep the way of blue ring on! Yeah, I don't get why these are two different covenants. Way of the Blue should have been a single covenant for both, with Targray or whatever his name is giving you the ring if you fulfil the one co-op kill requirement. That way, there would be a lot more valid targets for Bluecops.

It should be one covenant with two different rings, the Crestfallen one acting like it does now, and the Targray having the same function but also allowing you to be summoned, with a one assist requirement.

Cardiovorax posted:I just did that five minutes ago, it's actually fairly easy. Use an Orange Burr, Flash Sweat and then roll into one of those water urns. Use a big lifegem before stepping into the flaming platforms and your regen will exactly cancel out what damage you take. I'm pretty sure the buffs from burrs and flash sweat will overwrite each other. Likewise when trying this I tried using flash sweat and one of the heal-over-time miracles and you can only have one active. Without any other stats or special equipment, flash sweat + water urns in conjunction with flasks/lifegems is all you need to be 100% comfortable in the heat.

Just make it one ring. Simply being in the covenant should summon a blue bro when you are invaded, provided there is a viable blue bro wearing the only ring the covenant offers. Want to be invaded without help? Join a different cov.
