Just got summoned into a world where ALDRICH started t-posing everywhere. He also couldn't fight back, so we just whaled on him for easy souls.

Tracula posted:Something about their whole aesthetic reminded me of the spirit that was inside the Bed of Chaos. Very long tendrils coming from a vaguely humanoid body.

I was just pointing out that it's similar in appearance to the Bed of Chaos from DS1 is all.

Monomythian posted:FYI I got non stop Sentinel summons rolling a new character because so many red twinks invade Lothric and Undead Settlement wanting to kill newbies. You just have to keep you SL as low as possible 15-20. I was gonna try getting up to 40-50 and hanging around in the area after Pontiff to see if I'd get more bites. This current character I made specifically for getting everything and gently caress the idea of farming Silver Knights. I'll try later to just rush a character to get the Blue Sentinel badge and see if I get any hits. FYI at level 31 with a +3 sword I was getting pretty consistent Watchdog summons across two days.

I wonder if the idea is that the world is reverting to its primal state; "A land of grey crags, arch-trees and everlasting dragons." BTW the chaos dark sword is really insanely good for pvp because you can just pretend shields don't exist and then throw a chaos great fire orb and wither anything. I'm considering making it Reinforced instead though. Any thoughts? Does it really matter? At 18/18/22/25 str/dex/int/fth I have an AR of 333 or so I think on a +7 sword.

GodspeedSphere posted:Says who? I've gone from late game through to ng++ as dark moon without a single invasion. SL 72 - 82, +10 weapons, and 0 luck. I've pretty much resigned myself to silver knight farming. On NG++, I suspect that I'll probably earn enough to take my entire inventory from +3 (currently) to +6. I'm one of the few lucky ones who can seem to get summoned as a Darkmoon pretty regularly, so I'm assuming if people are seeing bluecops at SL100 then I'll probably still be getting summoned then. It seems like 80%+ of people just never get a single hit, though, which sucks.

You know what weird mashup/callout From hasn't done in a souls game yet? Armored Core. I dunno about you, but I'd be down for somehow fighting a mech in a DLC. Edit: Regarding bluecop summons, personally, I see them 1-2 times per hour or so at around SL100. I seem to be in the right range to catch people going through archives or peak, which are both at least somewhat active in terms of invasions. Speaking of invasions, I'm getting real sick of finding 2 phantoms in every single world I try to invade. Or hosts who wedge themselves into some corner and hide forever, possibly also popping a seed of giants. I wish there was a spell that could point you toward the current host location.

It depends on what you're going to level from here. If you're keeping your Str/Dex roughly where they are and focusing on Int/Faith/Vigor/Endurance then stick with Chaos.

Yeah, the only auto-summon covenant that's worked for me is Aldrich Faithful. Luckily, that's a really good one. I got summoned into a world last night on the roof by the archers right as he was doing the run up. I decided to stand at the end of the ramp.  quote:You mean Refined? If you dark infuse the dark sword it becomes the Reinforced Dark Sword instead of the Dark Dark Sword.  The scaling is basically the same between dark and fire right? I guess the only difference would be if the Dark Sword gets better dark scaling, or if more things are weak to fire. I won't be touching str/dex anymore though.

DkS had fantastic level design, don't get me wrong, but 3 has that same sprawling, interconnected feel that 1 has with the level of sheer design quality that DS and Bloodborne had. I'm actually glad armor upgrading is gone. Weapon upgrading is one thing, but having to upgrade my armor along with it was annoying because it was one more thing that was "necessary" for being optimal.

Determining optimality would demand a statistical study on who wears what resistances. I do know that fire is amazing in PvE though.

RBA Starblade posted:If you dark infuse the dark sword it becomes the Reinforced Dark Sword instead of the Dark Dark Sword. Ohhhh, okay. That's actually sad, Dark Dark Sword would own. The scaling is the same but I'd bet you'll meet fewer things that resist fire than things that resist dark. For PvP it probably doesn't matter, but for PvE I think Chaos is a bit more all-purpose. (Though Strength increases fire resistance for players, while Faith increases dark resistance, so if you're going purely for PvP Dark might be a tiny bit better on most opponents.)

So I'm trying to run a sword and board dude right now. I have a pretty heavy shield that negates all damage but keeps me from rolling effectively. So what am I supposed to do when I fight guys who the shield doesn't work against? Like the big fat dude with the axe who does the big spinning attack (early game, haven't even gotten to the second boss yet). Should I switch to a different shield? One hand my weapon?

There's way more upgrade mats than in DS1 and DS2 though.

In the area you're in, down a slightly hidden side path, there's a Silver Eagle Kite Shield with 100% physical block and decent magic block that only weighs 5.0. I'd try hunting that down. As for the big halberd fatties, you just aren't meant to be in range for their spin attack. If you have the slow roll you'll need to learn the tell for them starting it and begin backing up immediately. e: just-woke-up spelling yay

I'd just like to say that being a Sunbro for a caster is horrible and I don't recommend it. "No, no. It's fine. I'll just do everything while you stand so far away from the boss that your little soul arrows all miss by planetary trajectory margins."

Like the big fat dude with the axe who does the big spinning attack (early game, haven't even gotten to the second boss yet). Would embracing your inner spartan and wearing as light/little clothing as possible allow you to dodge while still using it? I like shields myself, and went full Tower Shield retard in DS1. But being able to roll and have a smaller shield > having a bigger shield but not able to roll, when fighting stuff a shield ignores. I've been primarily using the Lothric Shield (Normal, not Greatshield) as a safety buffer for dodging against stuff that doesn't just bounce right off it in DS3 so far, considering my very little investment in Endurance, and enemies who don't bounce off you will just keep on trucking with their entire combos. Plus there are lots of enemies with special attacks that will guard crush you straight out. When you see a Lothric knight two handing their weapon, your shield isn't going to handle it very well Also like Melanion said, the helicopter spin isn't a good time to be trying to shield tank. But being able to block the initial hit if you were too close and then rolling away to complete safety? Much more pleasant. Though that's a hell of a lot harder with an over 70% equip load fat roll.

Just wanted to throw out something I haven't figured out yet. All the item descriptions of the corvians link them to the Painted World. But then, in Untended Graves, the corvians present are all gathered in one spot around the grave you came out of in "real" Firelink. There is a body in the grave in the UG version. The body carries the Ashen Estus Ring: "Gray crystalline ring crafted from shards. Increases FP restored by Ashen Estus Flask. Once a treasure brought before Lothric's Queen, she had it enshrined in the Cemetery of Untended Graves, so that one day an Unkindled might profit from its use."

This current character I made specifically for getting everything and gently caress the idea of farming Silver Knights. I have kept my second playthrough completionist character at a lean SL40+4 for covenants and challenge. All the bosses went pretty smoothly until Twin Princes, which is turning into a nightmare. I haven't been close yet even with help from Sirris and Orbeck. I mean I have enough covenant items to max them all twice over now so I don't need to stay this low, but I'm so close to the end I wanna follow through. Rooftop Deep Cathedral invasions also never get old so maybe I'll stick stay perma low.

I thought I'd never ask but being a sorcerer in this one is atrociously difficult. Unless I'm going full retard, my staff doesn't seem to make my spells more powerful as I upgrade it and my intelligence increases damage on a most marginally level. How the gently caress am I supposed to level up? Dump everything into attunement and int while I slow cast and get butt hosed by everything that can lunge or attack suddenly?

Can I still feel accomplished beating a boss if the NPC I summoned jobbed pretty drat hard? Untended Graves was a pain in the rear end so when I got to the boss I considered summoning another player. I decided against it but saw that I could summon the uchi dude from the start of the game and said sure why not. He pretty much got himself torn apart by the random mobs I didn't aggro beforehand and in the actual boss fight he died in like 10-15 seconds without landing a single hit . I was ready to just take this fight as a learning experience on moves and played like poo poo but somehow ended up winning anyway despite getting super combo'd like 2 or 3 times. Seriously I wish more bosses had flashy combo strings like that because I laughed my rear end off at it.
