School Nickname posted:Man, I feel like just overleveling like crazy in response to my inability to git gud. Those Tar Snake enemies in the consumed garden hit like a mack truck. Also, should I pretty much stop leveling STR+DEX after 30, considering I have my refined longsword at +10? It'll keep scaling well until 40/40, and for the tar snakes try

CJacobs posted:You have good internet, they have bad internet. They blame the game for their bad internet. It's literally only with specific covenants though, there's no reason to write it off as bad internet before waiting and seeing if it can get resolved. It might be poor connection, but to ignore other possibilities is foolish.

Fly Molo posted:Someone on the Fextralife forums posted datamined info on how good the Carthus Bloodring is. As it turns out, it's loving powerful. Jesus, that sounds like it'd trivialize many boss-fights. I wonder how many people who found them really easy compared to previous DS games happened to use that ring.

If some covenants work and others don't due to "poor connection", maybe they should've coded all of them in such a way that they work with "poor connection" It's like blaming console players for their choice of platform if the PS4 version ran at 5 FPS or something

They hit hard and fast, they only look bad because straight swords are completely ridiculous. Warcry R2 is pretty fun, though not terribly easy to land in PvP from my experience.

So I haven't read the entire thread because I don't have the time for it considering how fast it moves, but what's the general consensus on the final boss? Putting my thoughts in spoilers just in case: Definitely the best final boss out of all soulsborne games and a great example of "use everything you've learned". Love how it felt like I really was fighting a bunch of player characters infused into one body to be a huge badass that uses multiple weapon types as well as magic/pyro/miracles. It's like, every guy I played through DS1 as? well now I gotta kill them all at the same time. And then phase 2 starts with THAT music and overall feels like a big apology for DS1 final boss. Amazing.

I used to think Mad Phantoms were kinda fundamentally stupid but I enjoy the effect they've had on gamer mentality; some are like pure invaders, but a lot seem to treat it as an excuse to dick around which is great. I summoned two of them and basically raced through the level stirring up enemies and having them fight. One kept up with me, and then holy knight Hodor invaded and hosed my rear end in a top hat with his greatsword and my mad phantom, Gregor, collapsed in despair as I died.

hampig posted:I wouldn't bet on nothing just yet, since you can poise through attacks just fine using heavy weapons, so it might affect their hyper armor just like in DS2. It might affect poise weapon arts as well. It doesn't appear to have any effect in neutral stance though.

I loved it as well, but when the firekeeper says you have to gather the souls of the original lords, I actually thought they were gonna have us fighting Nito, Gwyn, the Witch of Izalith, and the Pygmy at once and was kinda making GBS threads myself.

Question: I just did the Sword Master/Dancer early kill glitch. Noice. Can I duplicate this save a couple times so I have a few readymade gimmick characters for PVP? I don't want to glitch in endgame weapons, I just want to park one on Mound Makers, one on Wolf Bros, one in Blue Sentinels with different sillyboy gimmicks. I know you can back up your save but can you duplicate it?

Ruggington posted:I think I'm in love with axes and war cry Crescent Axe is a "Halberd" with Warcry. And when you use warcry it turn's it's halberd spin hard attacks into an overhead smash. Only on the end of a long handle that doesn't need 32+ strength to wield. Broseph Brostar posted:Is there something special about axes? Every time I see somebody with one, I assume they're a free kill. Oops. Edit: They have fun moveset and look cool, and the majority of them have rather forgiving stat requirements if you are not going for Great Axes. I liked the Craftsman hammer in DS2 in large part because it had the axe moveset. Section Z fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Apr 26, 2016 |

Summoned a sunbro to help me reach the Aldrich covenant because gently caress fighting those rat dogs alone. I'm really disappointed McDonnel is just a corpse. I was hoping to hear some explanation for why these guys love the goo so much. Killing Aldrich won't actually gently caress up the covenant though, right?

This is why I like greataxe With heavy infusion, scales very well with STR Good moveset in it's excellent rolling attack R1 (Two hands), and it's weapon art can punish predictable wake up rolls. Did most of the game with Greataxe, this game made me happy in that it gives you a Great Axe pretty early, and I've always wanted to do a souls game run with one.

Kild posted:Allegedly in the common CE table under player pointers. Haha those idiots! I take back what I said; people are getting banned for editing that. Want to know why? The first post's CE table's "Open" script has its first command as "debugProcess(2)", which attaches a debugger to the game. They aren't being banned for editing memory, they're being banned for attaching a debugger. The guy who made that table is a known rear end in a top hat in the DS2 days.

I had a character who didn't get summoned for the whole game, but I made another on the same pc and I get summoned normally. I think whoever suggested the theory about bluecops being "queued" makes sense, because it took my second character like 20 hours before the first summon and now I get hits all the time.

The orbs of fire are straight up immune to fire damage, so that room that starts filled with them is gonna be a huge pain in the rear end. That being said its not like you can't fall back on a weapon if it becomes miserable so go for it.

Keep your shield up, back away from them, when they charge in to attack, roll through it and hit them from behind until they stop attacking, then roll away and repeat. Fire helps but isn't necessary.

At SL95 it's conceivable that you'd have enough Faith, Int and with the darkmoon ring, enough slots to go with a longsword build with STR/DEX 30. That way you'd have the ability to call for lightning, magic or flame for your longsword at any time. e; also lol when will these idiot civilian players realise that we can't hack our way through the fog for a boss battle.
