So I grabbed the torch and managed to uh, set the church on fire. Does anyone know what exactly this does? It's gonna bite me in the rear end later isn't it?

Well that's a new feeling for me. Dark Souls 3 actually got me into invading myself. And despite my general lack of skill and the short amount of time, I somehow managed to go through most if not all PvP "experiences" such as: - Actually winning an invasion "properly" rather than having host die before I get to him - Winning with help of another dark spirit - Fighting a 3v1... - ...and actually winning sometimes - Getting seeded - Driving a host to pull the internet cable - Having a host jump off the nearest ledge to avoid fighting - And a 3v3 chaos of colors megafight Guess I need some hatemail and then my journey to the Dark(wraith) side will be complete :P That aside - does anyone have a clue what's with the fiery glow on host's chest here? Some article of clothing? A buff? Graphical glitch?

Weaponlevel matchmaking of 0-10, 5 can match with 3-7, etc, passwords ignore that and SL so we need to see if we can get a lowbie goon to unwittingly pick up a +10 weapon in a passworded co-op round. Einwand posted:Well if you still don't have one, I've got seven I'm probably never gonna use, I think I can give you one with the password summoning whatever? I'm on PS4, might be able to bag one from another goon in a few hours if you like most people are on PC Malek Deneith posted:That aside - does anyone have a clue what's with the fiery glow on host's chest This game's Second Chance, say you're at 50 health and you eat an attack that would have killed you, you stay at 50 health but the buff goes away

It's a good idea, honestly; please run that test. You can probably edit what the game thinks your max reinforcement is to whatever you want to screw whoever you want if From didn't think ahead.

Firelink got so depressing all of a sudden in a single trip back. Some masked lady said I "helped" Yoel and now he's dead, the thief won't even sell me anything because he's sad, the crestfallen analogue is just gone along with the guy who gave me the cracked red eye orbs, I made the blind failed fire keeper read a scary book and to top it all off, the reason I came back: to explore the tower that I could finally afford the key for contained a catacomb of dead fire keepers, one of whose souls I made mine stick inside her. I just wanted a break from that awful swamp, I'm sorry guys...

So I think I'm a bit under halfway through the game, and I've been rocking the Claymore more or less exclusively since I got it. I really like its attack animation / range / decent speed / etc. but I'm a strength build and at this point I have 30 str and the low scaling is somewhat troubling. Is there a similar option with better strength scaling? Should I consider "heavy" infusing a Claymore?

Malek Deneith posted:- Driving a host to pull the internet cable I am guilty of both of these (except I just Alt+F4d) because some of the people invading currently are complete asshats. All the guy did was back/run away when I engaged him... only to show up if I ever tried to actually tried to move forward in an area. I really wish there was a system to time out phantoms or something if they basically refuse to do it properly. I understand this is "part of the game", but gently caress me if it's not the most annoying poo poo ever. If you're going to invade people, fight it out. Don't just run 20 yards away, and stare waiting for me to do something.

It's kind of reinforced by the invasions prioritizing people who already have phantoms summoned, so it's unlikely that you, as a single invader, will get a reasonable fight out of any given invasion. So, people are using the environment, trying to lead hosts into traps, all that stuff. It might be different if it was more likely that you'd get a one-on-one instead of a three-on-one situation as an invader.

We both just stop and turn towards the red and go to town.

I really wish there was a system to time out phantoms or something if they basically refuse to do it properly. I'd say it depends on the situation. If the host is alone then yeah most likely I'll just straight up try to fight him. But if the host has an entourage of phantoms with him then gently caress that noise. I'm not there to keel over. I'll do everything I can to even the odds. The first of the two quoted situations was something like that, run into typical 2v1 situation (typical, heh, typical is 3v1 to be honest) that was promptly joined by a blue. So I used monsters as my shield whittling them down until there was just host. We fought for a while but when he (presumably) run out of estus he fled and disconnected. The host jump was on the other hand a hilarious situation because it was a 3v1... reversed. Me, another red and a mound maker chasing a fleeing host, cue Benny Hill music.

The statue to velka is down there. Thanks, I would have never known what that did. Too bad it cost 23k souls. While I farmed those souls up, I managed to get around him and complete all the poo poo behind him. By the time I had 23k souls I didnt need to get past him anymore so I decided to spend it leveling up, then I went and owned him.

Is the Astora Greatsword bad and/or Refined scaling bad? I have 21 in both STR and DEX, and my sword is +4 Refined but I just caught up on Lobos Jr's run and he's doing comparable damage with just a Broadsword and 28 STR, and as you can imagine that's quite a bit faster and uses way less stamina.  e: It's a really bad idea but my first char has "of Astora" in their name so I figured I could use the sword for maxxxximum roleplaying.

So, just to confirm, This Dancer boss across the way from the first boss (the woman called him "dog"?) is NOT the next one to go for right? I went after the tree balls dude instead, after many defeats at the hands of Boney McLongsword over there.

So this is my first souls game I'm trying to go through completely blind, and man does it add so much to the game. It's frustrating but when you figure things out yourself it's very rewarding. I'm having an absolute blast and definitely addicted. First question, are bosses easier this time around? I just beat vordt my first try in like 30 seconds. He... Didn't really do anything, It was pretty anticlimactic for how crazy he looked. Not trying to brag or maybe I just got lucky, but it didn't really feel like the same kind of souls adrenaline most bosses give you. Also, what's with all the bloodstains in the giant room with Emma ? Without spoiling it if possible should I attack this person for great rewards or just leave it? My tried and true strategy of being a bitch and lobbing fireballs from max distance is working well so far! Digging the new system with weapons arts.
