Einwand posted:You can get a third phantom by using an item from the shrine maiden, dried knuckles or something. I think it also increases your priority for invasions and lets up to two phantoms invade at once? In early areas 80% of the people seem to be in full Knight armor (I wonder if this has to do with the crashing bug pushing people into the Knight starting class?), and most of them are using a straight sword, broad sword, or claymore.

It gets the job done and it does really well at breaking poise. I tried my hand at the dual-wielding stuff but they can't break worth poo poo, at least from what I've tried.

Beeez posted:Thanks guys. It's not really about being broke or not as I have Gamefly, so if DS3 is the best for beginners then that's what I'd do, but otherwise I was thinking Dark Souls 1 seemed like a good start point. However, unless being a magic user is advised for a total beginner who doesn't usually play super hard games, I'm more inclined to devote a lot of my time to melee, I usually prefer that in games with magic acting supplementary. Melee is good for first playthrough on any of them, especially DS3.

Also, I am basically at the start if the game with like 15,000 souls just dojng co-op over and over. I could do this for weeks and be happy before moving on. In DS2 id be out leveling the area by having too many souls after like 10 coop sessions per boss unless i wore a special ring. How does DS3 handle this? Is there a special ring to stop my leveling so I can do this forever?

Poise doesn't work the same. It seems to only apply to specific heavy attacks from generally heavy weapons, increasing or decreasing the amount of damage you can take during those attacks without being interrupted. Basically you will never be able to just walk up to people and spam r1s without getting knocked out of it.

Philthy posted:Can you only summon two phantoms? I spent all night just helping people instead of playing for myself because im a sunbro at heart. The most I saw were myself and one other phantom summoned. Did they remove the ability to summon three or were everyone I was playing with for the three hours of co-op just being weird and not summoning the max? You need to buy the dried fingers from the old woman in Firelink (2000 souls, infinite uses.) Using that item allows you to summon 3 phantoms, but also opens you to invasions from 2 people instead of one. And yes, it's fun as hell. Totally unfair, but hilarious to be on either side. Philthy posted:This is kind of cool. There is no soul memory in DS3. It's back to a system similar to DS1 (+/- some % of levels, and supposedly some sort of weapon-level matchmaking, but the latter might only be for invasions, not sure.)

Okay, where do I go from the settlement? I feel like I've exhausted every corner of the drat place. So far I've killed the tree, which apparently was optional, killed the fire demon with sieg, opened up the door in the sewer section, rescued the maiden from her cell... I just don't see where a new path would open up. I'm starting to be overleveled for this place.

From the entrance to the tree boss turn around so that you are facing the opposite direction, run down the road, then take a left across the bridge where there are two red-robed paint bowl guys. e: Oh wait you've been there- go down the elevator buddy, didn't you even listen to Sieg?

Is frostbite just a PvP effect? The wikis don't seem very updated yet, but what I've found says it's for slowing stam regen. Wondering if the frosty sword is worth using, or just keep on poking things with the longsword.

Huh, I never knew I was scared of gigantic crabs until last night. The "normal" sized ones were bad enough, even they are too big for my liking. Then all the sudden wham monster crab claw all up in my face. I've never run from anything in a Souls game as fast as I booked it away from that monstrosity.

It was actually sort of comical, that crab. Taught me that I should've gone Str instead of Dex, because a phantom named Hulk Hogan just kept flattening it with his mighty hammer until it died.

Accidently attacked the onion knight, killed him, soloed the fire demon. And because i hosed up with the onion knight I only got a stupid fire gem for my trouble and I still can't get past the frost dude downstairs.  I'm terrible at this... but at the same time I can't get myself to give up on it.

So many of those large enemies have unique loot for killing them once. The trio of those assholes in the poison swamp had a bow and some "pharis" gear.
