Harrow posted:I would guess your best bet is Irithyll and Anor Londo. f#a# posted:76 here, and I get summoned all over the place. I was progressing through Lothric Castle and got summoned into Smouldering Lake. Spent some time in both of these places (and basically every late game area) and got nothing unfortunately. It's just really irritiating because these covenant items are pretty much all that's stopping me getting all the trophies (and the drop rates for farming them are just ridiculous - even if you boost up your item discovery to like 400 you'd be lucky to get one per hour from the silver knights)

I hope there's some way to get it working for everyone soon because it's the best poo poo. when i found the aldritch covenant, i literally could not climb the ladder out of that place without being summoned to invade. 10 invasions in a row for my first 10 dregs, and every time i got back to my world, i could not get my guy up the ladder back to londor before i would be asked to invade again. i maxed out the purple invader covenant and i never had to wait more than 30 seconds to get a hit. no problem invading whatsoever. otoh i have worn both bluebro covenants and the wolf covenant for some combination of 20 hours across multiple zones / character levels / equipment levels and i have never once ever been summoned to help someone. i have no idea what sorcery is actually required to be summoned as bluebro / darkmoon / wolfboy but apparently it's not in the cards for me for darksouls 3. the frustrating thing is that this gates off two cheevos, because you need the darkmoon to get the miracle cheevo, and that to get the "every other cheevo" one

The Wolves of Farron get bites pretty regularly between SL 20-30 and then it drops off a cliff after that. I've gotten two nibbles since the Abyss Walkers and both of them were probably NG+ characters.

I get sentinel'd every time I invade, so what gives? It doesn't work. Its broken. Watchdogs, Sentinels, Blades of the Darkmoon, flat out do not work ever. I got 2 watchdog summons in my life and 0 of the others. Soapstones, invasions with cracked or normal red eye orb, and aldritch faithful work perfectly. I get summoned every 30 seconds.

But no loving clue why so many of us aren't getting bluecop summons, when clearly there are still people in the way of the blue because when I invade I often end up seeing bluecops. Gotta be some kind of matchmaking bug.

I've not been real happy with my lowbie luck build guy. I was trying to see how effective you could be starting as a thief, using the bandit's knife and ignoring str/dex for luck entirely. Turns out: Not very. It's like the worst parts of starting as a caster (raw/flame infusions required, bad damage and ho-hum weapon choice in general) with none of the upsides (namely the utility of having juiced up spells). Bleed has the same problem it had back in Dark Souls 1 insofar as it's decent for bosses and pvp, but you're better off having a big boy weapon for chaff enemies so you can just kill them in 2 hits. It's going to be a giant chore to get to the profaned coal to get both bleed and hollow infusions, and I'm reckoning I'm going to need one of each to switch between depending on the circumstances.

Zaphod42 posted:What in the gently caress is going on I got summoned eight or nine times last night in Irithyll and AL at SL 60-65. In one of them, so many invaders showed up that I ended up killing five invaders in a single summoning, the last two in a two-on-one after the host and his other phantoms hosed off to go finish up Irithyll. I ended up getting a total of like 12 Proofs of a Concord Kept last night alone. I'm hoping that keeps up because one or two more nights like this and I'll have Darkmoon Blade no problem. So it's definitely working for some people and I have no idea why I'm one of the lucky ones.

The only progress I'm going to make tonight is towards the Aldrich Faithful and Darkmoons and I'm going to hope that I can finally get area invading/ counter-invading to work, last night was so incredibly cool with the constant reinforcements and invasions. I even had a sentinel stand guard while I talked to Siegward, instead of chasing after the invader.

A great thing about Bloodborne was that even an un-upgraded gun with no BLT investment could punish a person out of vialing if you were good. I'm having problems getting the same thing going with pyro, since the cast is sort of slow.

If you don't mind ruining a questline: Kill Anri for her sword at your convenience. Anri's Straight Sword scales super hard on Luck and can also be buffed with spells/resins. Throw on a Carthus Rouge for bleed and let the good times roll.

Yeah I think that's the big difference; the garden was just a pretty cool area to chill in and it was kinda in the middle of the game so you were often nearby there. Farron being kinda blighttown swampy means lots of people clear it out and then don't ever feel like going back. Good news is that Irithyll is the second cat covenant zone, and it works perfectly because Irithyll is a loving cool zone. The pvp seems to have settled on this area for sure, I'm getting non-stop 2v2 battles outside of Sulyvahn's bonfire. (After him, not before him) I think people just don't want to fight in the muck. That said, I wish the game would summon me as a bluecop already! But I guess it just really wants me to embrace the invader mentality. At least as a mound-maker I can invade and then turn around and fight other invaders if I so choose. Feenix posted:Why is there sometimes a fog door not letting me exit Firelink?? Its a loading screen. Just wait  Bloodborne took forever to load the hunter's dream so they partitioned firelink, its pretty easy to figure out.

The cat covenant had no SL restriction for invasions, which made it a miserable hell of cheaters, hackers, bad sports, and hilarious Youtube videos. The Wolves act under normal invasion settings. Also invasions trigger at the swampy area topside, not at the poison world below, but they can continue down there if the invadee runs far enough.

Not nearly as big as between 20/20 and 30/30. There's a difference, but it's the same as going from 60 Int to 70 Int for sorcery (i.e. probably not worth it unless there's literally nowhere else to put those points).

Pyromancy scales off the sum of int and faith, and the soft cap for it is the same as for sorcery and miracles: 60. So you should just aim for 30/30, the extra points aren't really worth it.

Just had the most chaotically fun battle I've ever done in PvP. I invaded a world as a Mad Spirit in Farron Woods. While I'm looking for the guy, a Blue Sentinel invaded me back. While he was looking for me, a Farron Watchdog invaded as well. Eventually, the battle got pulled into the swamp itself, and both crabs + 3 or 4 pole wielding guys jumped in. It was fantastic, and I got a vertebra shackle out of the whole shebang.

Andrast posted:The fog walls often a longer to disappear than any other load screen in the game for me (playing on PC with an SSD). Because you're playing the game while it loads. games like Mirror's Edge or Mass Effect that have you in an elevator in order to disguise the loading end up taking longer than they would if they didn't, but the idea is you're distracted so maybe it doesn't seem as bad. But that's why mass effect switched away from having elevator transitions, its not usually worth it. This isn't the same case because the reason they put those fog walls is most of the time all you need to do is shop or level up, so you don't ever need to go outside, so its faster and better. The 3 times you do need to walk outside of firelink after you've gotten further in the game, you can just walk up to the fog wall and then wait a few seconds. Yes, it takes longer to load that way since you're in-game than it would if they just stuck you at a menu. Big whoop. Its still for the best.
