Askin' again cause I didn't see anyone answer: Is anyone having luck with Blue Sentinels / Darkmoon towards the end of the game? If so, I'd love to know what level and weapon upgrade level I need to be at. I want Darkmoon Blade but getting Proof of Concord Kepts from Silver Knights seems like an absolutely insane grind. People are respeccing to 99 luck, wearing the mimic hat, and using coins and still farming like 4 of them an hour, so I really, really don't want to grind 30 of them that way.

I did it. I beat it. What a game. I'm a total cynic and very critical but they really delivered with this. I had one crash Monday at the end of my first session. None other until just now when I selected not to begin NG+. Almost afraid to load it up again and see what happens

Alkydere posted:The Diminishing Return point for Pyromancies is 60 total Int and Faith. But unless you want a glass cannon, you really should put a point here and there into other stuff. I have 18 vigor and it feels like enough at the moment. The only enemies that do an unreasonable amount of damage to me are the rat dogs in Ithyll. I'm thinking of just leaving those fuckers until way later because I don't even know how to handle fighting them.

So I think I hosed up some questlines. I went to Farron Keep first and just went on a straight line and now I'm in hell. I didn't go past the sage boss room, so is Siegward's questline borked for good?

So this game has the cutest puppies in the Souls series. Their animation is great, when they see you they just want to play, when they run around corners their tail end oversteers around the corner. They're good little puppies.   Dumb as poo poo though. edit: 11 hours according to steam. Yes this is my first playthrough, no I haven't beaten Vordt. No I don't want help. I'll get there. eventually.

BobTheJanitor posted:Fully explore what? You drop off the rafters onto a little platform, drop from there to a larger platform, kill a bunch of maggot guys that ambush you and pull the lever which takes you back across, that's it. Unless there's some illusory wall hiding something, there's nothing more over there. You missed the covenant in the other direction.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Is anyone getting "invalid data detected" or whatever? I've been seeing reports of it on the forums, but the warning is pretty vague It seems like a repeat of the DS2 launch. Most people are claiming ignorance about what's causing it, but the common culprits seems to be SweetFX and Borderless Windowed and all that. What's weird is that it seems to be happening to a few accounts that are brand new, first time booting up. There's no real info about what could be causing it, the warning itself is useless in that regard, and deleting saves and third party software doesn't make it go away or anything. So just keep playing, and if you get softbanned, email bamco about it, I guess. Kinda sucks, but after the DS2 launch we probably should have expected this.

Sometimes when you invade one just randomly screams when you load in and oh god it hurts. EDIT: Is it even possible to stop hosts from entering the fog now? I backstabbed someone right at the start of the fog animation and he went in just fine

How do you stop getting invaded? If I wanted to play a game where I got invaded I'd go play a loving MMO. When I'm fighting a cheese loving monster I don't really feel like getting attacked by a loving player.

Those loving bitches that reduce your max HP jesus It is probably one of the worst areas in the game, all because of them. How to beat them: when their lanterns glow red, it drains your health. Just stay out of their vision until the lantern goes white again. Hitting one of these ASSHOLES while they light the lantern, will still light it.

Zaphod42 posted:Contrary to their old usage, lightning spears now work like videogame shotguns. You do more damage the closer they are, and that's how it is. I know that, and I think it's pretty cool. I was just wondering if there was a critical mass of Faith where they can actually be enough to take out a normal, non-boss/non-player enemy at range. Internet Kraken posted:Is the scaling on pyromancy actually worth raising faith/int or should I just keep focusing on vigor, endurance, and attunement? The scaling is noticeable but I'd only do it if you were planning on using pyromancy and Chaos/Dark-scaling things as your main damage source. If you're not, I'd focus on other things first.

From then on you'll only be online when you select 'log in' from the main menu. You can still see messages, ghosts etc.

BillmasterCozb posted:It is probably one of the worst areas in the game, all because of them. The hitbox on their health drain is very precise, so if you can do enough damage to make them do their stagger animation, they typically can't look at you if you can just keep them stun locked the whole time. It's not 100% success rate but fighting one or two at a time means you aren't wasting a ton of estus on refilling.

So I'm level 32 with a +3 longsword and a +3 magic staff thing, and all the summoning signs have completely disappeared! If I put my sign down no one summons me either (except very rarely). Is it just my level / equipment upgrade lock me out of allot of games or something? EDIT: I can't even use a red eye orb, it just never finds anyone... It didn't used to be like this either! It has just gotten progressively worse for some reason. Gold Dust Gasoline fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Apr 16, 2016 |

Fell into a pit with three goat cat demons, backed into a corner and was at about 10% health. I prepared for one last hail mary attack when 3 of my butt joke messages got rated putting me back at full health. It was like getting a second wind, I went on to murder everything around me. Moral of this story: Place butt jokes everywhere, you never know when they'll save your life.

You can use the Way of the Blue covenant to auto-summon defending phantoms when you get invaded. Besides, the person invading you doesn't get the ember health bonus that you have and they're limited to half of their estus stock. You have way more leeway for error than they do if the fight is otherwise even.

What the fuuuuuck. I'm getting that glitch where phantoms can't traverse the boss fog wall. It literally happened 15 times in a row, making me beat boosted bosses by myself. I might just drop this game for now if it's going to be this glitchy. The weird part is that it never happens to me when I'm a phantom.

Interactions when other players are in your world are peer-to-peer. Basically one of you (or both) has a crappy connection to the other.
