When the PvP works, it delivers. Had a guy who was doing far, far more damage with his weapon than I'm doing, manage to parry and riposte him, and then we trade three blows, he dies, I survive with 19HP. :stare:

Yeah, I got invaded yesterday in Farron Keep and, for once, it was just one invader and I was alone. He actually did a little Joy gesture because it meant we could have a fight. He was flipping around with the Farron Greatsword but I managed to beat him after a long duel with like 25 HP left. It was pretty drat fun.

I'm looking forward to high-level duels once I get there. And I really oughta make a fun low-level invader character while the getting's good.

What? I've been an Aldritch Faithful scumbag for a few hours, a Farron Watchdog, a Blue Sentinel, and other stuff for a few hours each... and no issues here on PC. What isn't working about it for you?

The lag is intense, along with all the animation stuff. It feels like a huge step back from Scholar, where I had no issues at all. I fail to even invade like 80% of the time too. When it works it's awesome though, best in the series.

So hey, from the end of the high wall (Vordt's bonfire), you get a great view of all of lothric. You can see pretty much everywhere you go in the game from there, including areas you have to warp to, which leads me to ask:



Way, way far in the back, long past everything else, is this area. Does anyone know what it is? I can't tell from a distance, and you can barely even see it thanks to the fog rolling over the mountains.



Here's a zoomed out shot of its relative location if it helps.

I don't really mind it since invaders get to heal now too. The t-poses and entire game hitching up and jittering around combined with the old lag stuff is awful though. Before I could at least roll if I saw a swing. Now I have to roll seconds before they do it and attack thin air to kill them.

I'm kind of regretting not buying this on PS4.

If you read the description of the branches that drop around them, there's three such trees and they're spawned from Dusk's old branch catalyst that you could get in Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss. They're a token of friendship to the giant.

Might be, I was thinking maybe Irithyll at first but I think this might be it over on the other side:



I ought to see if I can force SMAA like with previous souls games so I can get a better look, the game's sort of crappy anti aliasing makes it harder to tell than it could be.

Yeah, I really wish they brought back the small white soapstone because I want to just do some limited zone coop for a quick Ember, rather than go Sunbro and help a guy explore an entire zone that he's too afraid to do on his own.

I just wish they didn't have Vordt's spot twenty feet away from gently caress You I'm an End Game Boss because people, for some reason, think it's a good idea to try and get my soul level 25 rear end to fight him. I like to farm Vordt because Embers sell for 1k a pop and that's pretty good souls at my level.

Is there an NPC that will sell titanite later on? I'm having a hard time finding any despite the game apparently being full of it.

My buddy is giving this a shot as his first real attempt at a Souls game. He's hung up on Vordt and getting frustrated. I'm starting into the third zone and between SL + weapon upgrades in out if summoning range for him. Is that what the password system is intended for? Is there a way for me to plunk down my sign and have him summon me into his game? I really want to help him get into the game before he gets frustrated and gives up.

What exactly do I need to do to become Lord of Hollows? I figure I might as well do that first time since I've already bumbled my way along it pretty well. Is it just be hollow with five sigils?

Haunting you until no 8 arrives.
I have three questions I'm hoping to find the answer to

A. Is it possible to get quickstep without mainhanding a dagger? I tried offhanding one but ended up with a strong attack instead of a skill.

B. What's up with the cage dude that you can talk to in the undead settlement? I can't figure out his deal. Do I need some specific item, are they just there to spout a weird line about "nana"?

C. Anyone got a list of NPC invasion spots? I feel like I've missed a bunch.

Deep Protection (Cathedral of the Deep), Dorhy's Gnawing (Irithyll), Lifehunt Scythe (Aldrich Transpose).

Dead Again is kind of useful in some of the more densely-packed locations, but a lot of those are fairly early on, long before you get either of the talismans that make it really exciting.

So I noticed most of these are hex's, so to be good at miracles I might as well go all in and go hex?

Cheatengine is what got me through the dark2 dlc so if they want to ban me then meh. I like co-op but after the cheevo run I'm not really interested in the game anymore besides speedrunning it. I have a feeling that's not happening because the parries on Pontiff are really hard, so it'll be banning me from multiplayer in a game I no longer play.
