Jimbot posted:How do blue cops work? Do you get summoned in the area you are in or can you appear anywhere as long as you are within the soul level? There's maybe some flexibility with how much "reach" you have when being a blue cop, but generally yeah you need to be near where you want to counter-invade. Then you just need to cross you fingers and hope people remember to equip the covenant, are embered up, get invaded, and also that Gwyndolin wakes up in time to call you from the bench to make that sweet dunk. For stamina, I personally shoot for enough to cover 2-3 swings plus cushion for rolling away, since that seems to be about how many hits you can get before some one can roll or block again. So 15-20 will probably do you just fine. More if you like estocs and rapiers. TGLT fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Apr 22, 2016 |

I've never truly freaked out about a DS enemy before, but there's something about the animation and combination of features.

Balobam posted:someone tell me, is my super secret strat of 'hit with greatsword' considered good? I decided to stat reset my original character into a Guts build for NG+ because I've never done one before and gently caress it. I immediately get invaded when I get to High Wall and spend 10 minutes going back and forth with this guy until I finally win with my unexpected delayed smacks. It felt good.  You can really fake people out just by varying the amount of time you hold strong attacks.

Malcolm XML posted:that is entirely possible but p hard solo Probably more likely that he muled it over. I dump all my gear onto my new chars, and as long as you don't upgrade it, you can give any weapon to a level 1 character. (In my defense, I don't use this for a pvp advantage but because weapons like the Gotthard Twinblades are just too awesome to wait 3/4 of the game to get.)

Hell yes, I just entirely circumnavigated the Farron swamp without dying. Killed the GIANT ENEMY CRAB, killed the trio of walking rotwood piles, killed the black knight guarding the coal. Got every item around the perimeter, now time to go through the middle bits. Now if I could just get the SSss-SSss-SSss noise out of my head.

Jimbot posted:How do blue cops work? Do you get summoned in the area you are in or can you appear anywhere as long as you are within the soul level? For blue cops, you can get summoned anywhere that you have lit the bonfire, so if someone on the High Wall of Lothric gets invaded and you're in the Road of Sacrifices, you can still be pulled to defend. I've had this happen several times, but I don't know the exact stipulations. Can't help on the stamina, though.

OK, so I just watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ngXTEQDhRk Nothing special to watch except for seeing Swordmaster NPC solo Dancer for the player while he just hides behind pillars...I lolled. To summarize what is going on in the video: 1. Start new game. 2. Kick swordmaster off the cliff at firelink. Level up Vigor to 17. 3. Run through the High Wall bypassing all of the enemies and kill Emma. 4. Go summon Swordmaster from the Vordt bossgate, Run back to Dancer and let Swordmaster solo Dancer !?!?! lol 5. Level up strength to 29, go to Vordt from the Dancer bonfire; summon Swordmaster again, beat the crap out of Vordt. 6. Run through Undead Village to where Onionbro is, take the elevator down, run right past the Outrider Knight with the frost sword. 7. Run through Road of Sacrifice until you fight that NPC for the Butcher Knife. 8. Head back to Firelink, reinforce Butcher Knife, level Strength to 30 And there you have it...17 Vig and 30 Str with a strong weapon 40 minutes into the game. Not too shabby. And this is just ridiculous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwlYcNp4ARU I don't even have words.

Giant Isopod posted:My "Be wary of pincer attack" message in the same spot got 0 See yours is actually funny. I'm not sure how much truth there is to this but apparently the message system is a bit of a Reddit circlejerk in that the more you upvote people's messages the more likely yours are to show up in other peoples' worlds. And of course your messages only appear while the character that wrote them is being played. And I always make an effort to rate useful messages. Or if somebody has a "Help me!" message I'll always rate it to give them a free heal (it'll probably hit right as they get up at a bonfire after getting killed. They always do). Highest rated I saw was "Huh, it's an up. But it's a down" in front of a double-decker elevator that has a Titanite Slab under it. Had a rating of something like 1600. I imagine whoever wrote that is playing on the dark souls equivalent of a god mode cheat.

So has anyone done any tests on how dark magic scales? I've heard both that you need a catalyst with Int and Fth scaling and 30 of each of those stats for good damage, and that it's entirely based on your catalyst's spell buff so you can get just as good damage with dark sorceries with a regular Int-scaling staff and high Int.Lester Shy posted:Those guys were spooky but I realllly hated the things you find in Irithyll Dungeon.

Fextralife just makes names up. That said, I doubt we'll ever know the official names given that they're not in the official guide.

So this isn't a fluke. On my first playthrough I got invaded twice in the area with all the archers leading up to Anor Londo. When I thought my summoned helper killed off the invader, I did the Patches Squat gesture. At the same time an archer shoots an greatarrow that soars right over my head and directly nails the invader who just ran up a ramp and then to his death. All the little things in Dark Souls 3 make it just that much worth while.

I got smashed at first but everyone pretty much just dodges around for huge weapons so I've gotten pretty good at estimating where the roll will end and it's not too hard to get hits in. Definitely more interesting than going Chaos Blade for the third game in a row and gently caress Estoc

Host and summon standing still by bonfire, not moving? I get in range for a backstab, still not moving? Backstab the host, the summon wakes up and does an R2 in the wrong direction and leaves the pile of items it was standing on - RINGS! HOT LATEGAME RINGS! That level 20 invader of mine has a conscience weighed down by rings.

I mean, if I found one under my bed I'd probably scream and need a change of pants, but that's a different story.

Beat the game, loved the poo poo out of it and so glad to have another Souls masterpiece to play through. The world looks so pretty, the game feels so good and smooth. It didn't give me much trouble, though - the only bosses that took me more than two tries were Iudex (deprived  ), Abyss Watchers and Old Demon King  - the rest seemed to just require sensible roll dodging and patience. OTOH I feel like I missed out on so much when it comes to NPC quests and covenants. I barely saw any of the NPC's stories through, and I joined Fingers early so I couldn't be a proper blue cop, so instead I played as a Blue Sentinel and unlike DS2, it actually worked and I got summoned consistently through the entire game. Bit weird that so many people stayed Way of Blue throughout, but it was a really fun way to take a 2 minute detour from my game every now and then. I missed the mould covenant too.Now I wanna just read all the lore, and maybe next do an INT playthough with ashen flasks and check out all the NPC stories and other endings.
