Man I try to fight the urge to get levels now that I'm in the upper end of the NG+ level spectrum but it's hard when you get like 150k going between two bonfires and have nothing else to spend them on. Some part of me is just incapable of forfeiting several hundred thousand souls for when I inevitably screw up I guess?

It's pretty rad looking but I used the knight set for the gloves and gauntlets instead. I apparently missed out on Alva's armor and haven't gotten to the Faraam or Drakeblood armor sets yet.

I had a weird thing happen a couple days ago while co-oping with ~MY GIRLFRIEND~ in Lothric Castle.

We were walking around near the door that leads to the Sunlight shrine in front of the Dragonslayer Armor boss fog when we suddenly hear something screech and die. "HEIR OF FIRE DESTROYED" appeared on both of our screens. I looked over at the bridge where the fight goes down and one of those skinny dragon-things was hanging out up there. Then I got booted out with an ember and sunlight medal.

tl;dr we got a free boss fight and I don't know what the gently caress happened :shrug:

I had something similar happen at Ancient Wyvern. I was attacking something else and didn't reach the ledge before the boss suddenly died and gave me credit for the kill.

Abyss Watcher set looks too good not to wear at least the chest/gloves. I don't like the hat though, so I'm wearing different helms with it. It looks great with the Firelink Helm and with Leonhard's hat/mask.

You can have my ragged black cape/tails things when you take it from my cold undead hands.

Although I'll admit you're better off mixing and matching, and not just throwing on the whole set. The helm is too Kylo Ren for my tastes anyway.

Last night I ran into a hacker by the Crucifixion Woods bonfire. He looked like he was wearing and Evangelist hat with "Big Head Mode" turned on. He also started spawning random enemies into the world, including the reworked Asylum Demon. This is the only time I've ever wished I was recording while I was playing.

I know abyss watcher's set is what all the kids are using these days, but the chest piece reminds me of Guts so I use it with the Alva set in the other slots. I also use a flaming flamberge because I appreciate dumb puns. That's my hot take on Fashion Souls today.

At 30/30 INT/FTH, would a Raw +10 Estoc with CFA (+10 Pyro Glove) have more damage than a Chaos +10 Estoc? Thinking about that for PvP.

Someone changed the translation on Reddit for that to be more like "requirements," not "consequences," though that makes less sense because I'm pretty sure there aren't any requirements.

Abyss Chest has a sweet-rear end cape, and looks silly without the gloves. I wear Black Knight pants underneath though.

GHSA is like your most damaging spell until you get CSS, and even then it's mostly not worth it because of how much FP CSS costs. GHSA is by far the most efficient spell for damage:FP.

So some people just can't do bluecop invasions? And nobody knows why? And I'm one of them? I should stop trying?

You don't have to be embered, do you? I mean the symbol is flashing and everything, it just literally never calls me. I went directly from mound makers invading an area, and getting blue cops to show up and stop me, to being a bluecop, and it's all crickets in here.

You don't have to be embered, no.

Catacombs is the best zone for invading. You get skelepals all over the place, plenty of tight spots for fighting 2v1, it's usually easy to find the host since you can actually tell if they ran past enemies, and then of course there's the rickety bridge at the end.
