Is there a ring like the Rusted Iron Ring from DS1? Because gently caress this poison swamp.

The lack of white summon signs is really dispiriting  It's nothing like the first two games. I've done the first two bosses and I've only seen 1 so far. I see loads of orange messages, player ghosts, red blood spots, etc. But the coop is non-existent compared to day 1 DS1 and DS2.I put mine down in front of the second boss to see it from the other side and nobody picked it up in the ten minutes I spent waiting.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:Oh man I don't think I can do this loving Giant god drat Tree boss as a Thief, you really need either Range or AoE and I have neither and am very rusty and keep thinking if I get hit I can just get that HP back by wailing on them like Bloodborne. Range and AoE ? Boss goes much faster if you go melee, range sucks a lot in this fight. Grab uchi or a straight sword of choice and go for the eggs in the arms/legs/back before going to the front I co-oped that boss about 15 times, I'd help you but I gotta go to college now, I'm only back way later hit me up in steam steamcommunity.com/id/ZZZorc/ , I could help you later in the next fights

All right, time to dive into this thing. Is there anything known about the starting gifts - are there any petrified something or old witch's ring equivalents? I can't spot any from a cursory glance so ...

I was a little bummed that I got the whole 'crash on first bonfire' thing, but was like, oh okay, I'll just set things from High to Low because that's supposed to work. But then I noticed that alot of settings could also go from High to Max. Realized that going up was better than going down. Haven't crashed since I decided to start playing with power.

This game is turning out to be way better than I expected, and is plagued by none of the poo poo that bothered me in Bloodborne. Got absolutely brutalized by the tutorial boss as deprived and actually had to start using a shield again to get rid of bad Bloodborne habits. If somebody wants to find solace in the suffering of another, I'm streaming my first playthrough.TheMopeSquad posted:I swear to god it took me an hour to kill the first boss being deprived doesn't help much whereas my friends were like "Oh I killed that first try, hur hur" loving bastards. I just checked and I spent pretty much exactly an hour stuck there  Maybe I should've reinstalled one of the earlier games for alittle warm-up.

It runs at 60fps at Max settings. I'm so happy I got a new card. I murdered the gently caress outta that crystal lizard thing first try.  Holy poo poo I love how much faster everything is.

Doing a deprived run because that's a good idea. Loved the first three souls games but didn't like bloodborne at all and watching the first boss lunge away from me, pivot mid lunge and splatter me before turning into an eldritch abomination has me nervous.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:I know the trick it's just really hard when your weapon needs you to be inside him to hit. Use firebombs. The villagers in the area probably dropped some and you can throw them at tree baby when he's throwing a tantrum. Otherwise its just a matter of waiting for him to use the attacks that expose additional weak points and have his arm fall down. I dunno if there's good a way to bait those.

Keep getting these random fps drops that are really annoying. I've got a gtx760 and wasn't expecting it to run on max settings at 60 fps but these frame rate drops happen regardless of what graphics preset I choose.

They should give us the small soapstone back, sometimes you just want to grab some help for a few mobs (or when you leave the sign, you just want to kill some monsters to get your cinder/estus back) being forced go the whole way until winning a boss fight sucks.

Right now there's so much summoning activity in the early bosses that it's easy to regain your ember plus get another one for helping someone out on Vordt, but after a few weeks I get the feeling I'm really gonna be missing the small soapstone. I've just been dropping my sign before the boss fog, and it's never been more than like 3 minutes of waiting.

On the plus side I died just before killing the boss as a phantom and I still got the ember, looks like there might be a little grace period if you die in the last few seconds.

Unless I'm just completely high and imagined it, I was getting estus charges back every time I killed the first boss while sunbroing. Although it could be my estus charges used while being summoned didn't count or something, and when I left it was reset to what it was before?

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Unless I'm just completely high and imagined it, I was getting estus charges back every time I killed the first boss while sunbroing. I killed the boss, got an ember and returned to my world but my estus were still empty and so were my FP bar. I'm just hoping it's a glitch because otherwise that is a real downer. I used to wait in front of bosses all the time as a phantom so I could recharge in human form. Hell, that's what the small soapstone in DS2 was for. Taking that out would be such a letdown.

Small soapstone was probably the best thing DS2 added to multiplayer. It wasn't perfect, but it did make a lot of activity for co op, and more co op is good and fun because more people can enjoy the game.
