Any weird things going on with stats this time around, like the Agility tax in DS 2, or are they more straightforward now?

Oh the longsword stance is for guardbreaking, doing extra damage, AND setting a parry up! I purple palled a guy into a corner then did it and kicked him off a cliff.  Turning off SSAO and setting lighting to low is kind of helping with the overheating too, but jesus.

Was quite a bit worried about the early reports of the game running at 20fps on dual Titan monster-rigs, but looks like I hover right around 60fps on high with my laptop. Not bad! Some dips here and there, might lower some more settings to see if those even out. Is there any real fix for the crashes yet, btw? I used to crash every time I warped to the Wall, and after updating my display drivers the game crashed every time at startup IF I had my XBone-pad plugged in (wtf?), but last time I managed to actually play through some zones without the game flipping out. Also had a good laugh when I got to the katana-dude. I accidentally dodged right off the cliff, and he decided to follow me for some reason. Next time there was just a lootbag waiting.

Okay so I'm going to ask a really dumb question. How do you set up/use weapon arts? I've yet to figure out how to enable them and I've just run around doing the standard attack/strong attack but these weapon arts sound neato.

I love that the devs gave us a Katana in the tutorial area this time around after making us wait a solid 30 hours in DS2.

How am I supposed to kill these blob things on the high wall? They oneshot me from full health and I cannot kill them in a full stamina bar, so it just ends up with me inevitably trying to dodge and poke which fails horrifically since their attacks are large and occasionally frequent.

Anything I should know/avoid if I'm going the Herald route, with the aim of being a melee guy who uses miracles for utility rather than offense? It doesn't look like any weapons scale with Faith so I'm thinking about putting in just enough points to use the miracles I want, and keeping Str + Dex relatively even. Since I tend to like straight swords the Sunlight Straight Sword looks like something to aim for with its built-in buff and decent scaling.

There are indeed weapons that scale with Faith, and the ones I know of are really cool looking. I dont know to what extent though.

Sorry if this has been answered a thousand times before: me and my buddy are trying to coop souls, so I have a couple questions: Can you only summon people when embered? Is there a point in the game where you can easily get lots of embers or are there a finite amount? Cause we did all of the second zone on one ember but then I died on the boss and he got kilt.

Waverhouse posted:Why for? I opened thief and am at 20 luck. I didn't find anything online that has talked about it too much, is bleed/poison not that good? Item discovery has never been particularly helpful in any Souls game. Bleed and poison are nice, but probably not worth throwing a ton of levels at an otherwise useless stat for. I've also read that Luck increases the rate that poison and bleed statuses build, but not the actual damage that they cause. People will need to do some testing to see how much Luck affects the two statuses, but right now it doesn't look very worthwhile.

And people ask me why I'm no longer into PC gaming. Jesus loving shitchrist, and this is just one game in 2016 of too many with severe issues. Worldwide servers are up and I'm still not getting summoned to help people from scary red invaders, but I get invasion targets in under five seconds. e: Luck I consider a speciality stat mainly for special builds that use poison and bleed, I have one of those for PvP at SL25

You need to sacrifice a few stats for any build and Luck seems to easily be the least valuable, even less so than a magic stat not corresponding with the type of magic you want to use.

Jose posted:there is one fairly early in DS2 I thought you couldn't get one until the Iron Keep? I never played Scholar of the First Sin, but looking at the wiki, it looks like the Dull Ember is obtainable much earlier which means you can get the Uchi before half the game is over. il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Apr 12, 2016 |

They oneshot me from full health and I cannot kill them in a full stamina bar, so it just ends up with me inevitably trying to dodge and poke which fails horrifically since their attacks are large and occasionally frequent. if you are bad at the game like me (or picked depraved like me and are hesitant to level up because you fear picking the wrong choices oh god) you'd be surprised how many monsters you can just run past / away from and they don't aggro you through the whole level. i'm only in the high wall area myself, but off the top of my head, you can run from both black blob hollows. the first one is only guarding some basic loot, and the second one takes long enough to transform that you can find the ladder to the next section without loving with it. likewise, i've been able to run past all of the silver knights except the very first one after the dragon fire gauntlet, and only him because he runs out the door all happy to see you. the spear & shield one under the second black blob hollow you can run around and he didn't follow me down into the next building, and the three that are patrolling in front of the important looking castle can't actually fit inside the door, so if you run / roll past them, they just go back to patrolling. then, you can run past them again to fight the second boss, and after that you don't really have to deal with them again in high wall. you can also just run around the fatty blue halberd knight in the bloody courtyard. he's also pretty easy to take out with ranged attacks, but if you don't want to bother, you can just run past him. i think playing DS2 for hundreds of hours and trying to keep my SM as low as possible taught me to try and avoid as many superfluous monsters as i could, so now i'm just curious about how many things i can actually run past with no consequence.

There's nothing wrong with doing a quality build (STR+DEX), but depending on the weapon you want to use, you may not need to level them both. If you end up using a weapon that scales high with Dex but not with STR, there's no real reason to pump levels into STR beyond whoever much you need to wield your weapons of choice.
