Ruggington posted:People seem to like to go over 100, but 98 is just gravy 95-100 agility is what you want if drinking and rolling feels sluggish compared to Dark Souls 1. You can go higher, but don't rush it at the cost of the rest of your build. I worked up to it on my dexterity guy, and agility at 110 is loving fantastic. You can roll through almost anything.

Domattee posted:e: VVV Taking my time is whats killing me. I've fought the dude 20 times now and as soon as he splits I never have an opening to do damage, or heal, or even regen stamina. I run out of stamina just trying to dodge roll their neverending attacks. It'd be a little less bullshit if at least their attacks synched up so it's not one guy oneshotting you as you dodge the other guys OHK This VVVVV poo poo is a completely nonsensical way to reply to somebody on a forum like this, for reasons that are obvious, and I wish people would stop doing it.

I'd summon more red sign soapstones if there was actually some sort of reward for beating one. Losing to one costs me an effigy, or else gimps me in the fight by forcing me to lose a ring slot or start at lesser health. I really don't need any more souls, but I'd love a silky stone or something.

Brasseye posted:It hasnt happened to me yet but I would stand around and cheer the red phantom on if I saw someone do this. If I get summoned as a bellbro and there's already another one there fighting the host, I wait my turn.  If the bellbro beats the host, I win anyways. If the host wins, then he's earned the right to challenge me  Mzbundifund posted:I'd summon more red sign soapstones if there was actually some sort of reward for beating one.

Arthur Crackpot posted:But sometimes, it's fun to just drop a red sign, get summoned, bow to each other as equals and duke it out. I was simply expressing frustration towards a string of people who didn't want to let me have that kind of fun. This is stupid if you expect other people to do it though.

FauxGateau posted:Maybe the fact that we don't know what the villain wants is a sign of a terrible story. I've said it before, I'll say it again: I'm positive they lost some writers who knew what the gently caress the Dark and the Abyss are supposed to be between DS1 and DS2. Because Darkdiver Grahl and Nashandra are loving incoherent and the word Dark becomes utterly meaningless by the end of this game

Darklurker: As others have said, pyromancy rips it apart. 3 or 4 Sunlight Spears or a couple of Great Lightning Spears also do it in, often before it can split. Be aware that the rear end in a top hat can get attacks off while technically already dead.

Mind you, if you aren't wearing the ring that makes you appear human you open yourself up to be soul appeased. Had that happen to me before. First time I'd seen the spell, so I kinda walked into it.

I guess I just see them so infrequently I forgot, and I kinda misread the post I was responding to. People need to use red soapstone more, I don't mind dying to a duel I agreed to nearly as much as dying to an invader who waited until I was fighting a mob to come up and backstab me

I was on my way to fight Lost Sinner and Lucatiel fell off a set of stairs and her phantom was vanquished. How screwed am I for finishing her storyline and getting her reward? Is it worth using, anyway? Will she appear anywhere in non-phantom form (I had already seen her in Earthen Peak before this phantom death) that I should just go kill her at before NG+? In other news, I was gonna Bellbro this morning but as discussed, servers were down, so I just took that chance to do a run-through and loot grab in Belfry Sol instead. heh.

Try resting at the bonfire and checking her summon sign again. If it's not there, well, there's like five places you can summon her.

Wow, in the Old Iron King fight, the hole near the fog door is a gigantic gently caress you. Ugh. e: at the very least, the run back isn't horrible. Note to people having trouble in the Iron Keep: Use a Mace, seriously - if you have the wrong stat build, make it Raw. It changes the experience from frustrating to a breeze.

Can't you just reload and summon her again? As far as Lucatiel is concerned, you need to beat at least three bosses with her (and she has to survive), before having your final conversation with her. And there are four bosses where you're able to summon her. While the most straightforward option is to beat three different bosses at NG difficulty, you can also use ascetics and farm one boss repeatedly.

Is the "stopping at SL 150" thing still a thing? Because everyone doing that would be steamrolled by any player not agreeing with the way "organized PvP" works. You'd duel with lvl 250 guys having the same SM you have. 150 is also very, very low, you can easily get to it in the first playthrough by doing some pvp and white phantom work. Am I the only one having fun leveling up in NG+ and above?

Mace of the insolent and power stanced maces is hilarious in pvp. Put sunlight blade on both of them then switch to force and watch my opponent be horribly confused as I stagger them then beat them to death.

voltron lion force posted:You can cancel out of emotes now so its really a non issue. I can't imagine if it or owns. On one hand, emotes are no longer the ultimate "whatever bitch I can make myself a huge target by taunting you and still win" they were in PvP. On the other hand, you can now do the welcome animation in front of someone and smash them into the ground as they charge at you in an attempt to score a cheap shot. Verdict: it owns, but only until every jerk in PvP realizes it can be canceled

Raygereio posted:No, the keyboard & mouse controls aren't the best ever made. But they work. A simple autohotkey script fixes the double-click issue. So they dont work. If you need outside scripts and poo poo, it doesn't work. The good majority of people out there wont go hunting for this. The days of not owning a controller on the PC are over (I don't even know why it was considered finished when back in the day we had Gravis Ultrapads and other controllers). Straight up: If you don't have the Xbox PC controller you're loving yourself over.

Okay, so if you have a weapon that you barely meet the requirements for, like the Curved Dragon Greatsword, is it worth putting it on the Raw upgrade? Since you won't get much scaling out of it.

You'd duel with lvl 250 guys having the same SM you have. Sadly there's no reason to stop leveling in terms of PvP, which means eventually everyone who truly wants to win ends up rolling with a full set of fully upgraded havels and 50 in every stat that even remotely matters to them. The fact that most stats hit their softcaps earlier now (allowing for more different kinds of builds) would make this game really good for level-based PvP, but sadly the soul memory system kind of shits on that.

With summons I just drop HELLO and VERY GOOD at appropriate times (usually very good when I'm about to die and I know it) and wave when the other guy gets antsy about approaching me. It's pretty much anything goes and that's the fun, though.Manatee Cannon posted:Pretty sure all of the Souls games actually start with English in mind.

Arthur Crackpot posted:Perhaps I should clarify my position. Then bow. I bow and chug all my estus before every fight that isn't bell/ratbros. Just don't complain about people who attack you while doing it, because there's no reason you should get hit, and around 80% of the time at iron keep you'll get someone who's willing to bow and do the whole little prefight ritual, so it isn't like there is nobody around who will bow back to you. The people who attack during emotes are the minority, most people are just there to duel.
