are you not allowed to level up at the first bonfire? I went deprived because I wanted to build my levels up as I go in the game but this first boss is such a pain in the rear end during the second stage I might as well switch classes for now and do a level one run after I beat the game a few times and get used to this system of dodging.

Fire Keeper handles leveling. If you're talking about Gundyr then :roflolmao:

For (i think) the first boss after you get to Firelink, the ice mace dog man, he seems scary at first, but he suffers from Sif Crotch Safe Zone syndrome. The only issue is when the camera goes apeshit when you're under him.

So far everything does except Lil' Manus.

putting down fake illusory wall notices is a great handicap in the early days of the game. you get 3 downvotes for every 1, but theres enough spiteful bastards out there that with 5 notices you get a ping at least every couple of minutes or so.



edit: 970 and amd quad core. no crashes , settings on high or max, looks insanely good. the undead settlement in particular is a great area.

Man I was so happy to find the Claymore early on that I immediately got it to +3 and buffed it with the fire gem, but... I'm not liking the moveset that much in this game, and it seems kind of weak honestly. I'm thinking about going back to the deep axe, anyone digging the claymore at all?

Well, played 4 hours solid till i got my first crash as I was murdering a BonziBro. Oddly, it appeared to be steam had crashed and exited rather than the game exe itself which i've not seen in a while.
Seems mostly stable otherwise for me except for a tiny pause upon picking up some items and i've got everything maxed out. (AMD 7970, i5 3570)

This game runs really well for me except in certain areas or when fighting bosses, when suddenly there will be gigantic hitches. I was fighting what I think is the second boss and every time they rushed at me the screen would freeze up for nearly a second at a time, and it ended up getting me killed because I couldn't dodge anything.

I've got a GTX 750 which, while not blazing fast, should at least be able to handle this stuff no problem. Anyone know what could be up?

I think it's more that invasions are weighted for you to invade people with phantoms. Also, new game, high population density in the early zones, etc.

weighting it for 3v1 every time is kind of meh though. 2v1 would be okay.

I was all hyped about playing a dexterity dual wield guy, but when I started as a mercenary with twin blades I just felt like I wasn't doing any damage. I got tired of it and switched to knight just to see the difference, and holy poo poo. It's absolutely night and day. Not only does the starting long sword do significantly more damage that the twin blades, but armor seems to be making a much bigger difference in this game than in previous titles.

Not going to be able to afford upgrading anytime soon though, and I can't just not play Dark Souls III. If my PC melts through the floor, at least it did it while doing something good.

I just remembered that I can actually afford it very soon, so my question to the thread is; Is a GTX 960 plenty enough? The 970 is way more expensive and honestly my 670 has been good enough for all other games so far.

Yeah, trying to swap it to circle there doesn't actually work since it just goes back to default whenever I do. Other button swaps work fine.

I've been able to 100% dodge the bonfire crash by setting everything, not just SSAO and shadows, to off whenever I think I have to pass whatever the load threshold is around bonfires that causes the engine to poo poo itself. Pain in the rear end, but less so than crashing. Boy that seems to imply some weird/bad coding decisons as far as rendering goes, though.

Running an intel 4670k with a GTX 770.
