voltcatfish posted:I think Majula is a better hub than DS3 Firelink I like the Majula music a lot, though DS1 Firelink and the Nexus are still my favorite hubs. I have a moderately-sized list of things I don't really like about DS2, though. Like, it's a good game, it just isn't for me and I don't enjoy playing it nearly as much as I enjoy all of the others in the series.

Solution fairy; Random invades removed from game, red eye orb only tool for invasion now. Red eye orb now changes based on your active covenants. Blue cop covenants now use red eye orb to actively hunt for an invasion. Covenants will receive relevant rewards for their active covenant when they invade. 2 red phantoms prioritized in games where there is more than 1 white phantom.

Babe Magnet posted:then how do you explain the video where they adjusted the value and poise is clearly working as it's worked in every other souls game? You say that its more noticable with some actions and weapons than others, but have you actually used a majority of weapons or just greatweapons? because a lot of weapons straight up do not have hyper armor. *someone posts a video on what poise does and how its current implementation into the game is wholly intentional* NO BUT IT'S BROKEN I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT BECAUSE SOMEONE TOOK THE GAME APART!!

Babe Magnet posted:I feel comfortable calling DS3 Poise broken since the fix seems quite easy for From to implement. If there's some long-lasting, not readily apparent problem with enabling it that we're not aware of, well, that sounds broken to me too! The long-lasting problem with enabling it is that it's hilariously overpowered. Turn it on and equip basically anything that increases poise beyond just your armor and you basically can't be staggered. My guess is that it was in the code, they tried to tweak it to work, and then disabled the passive poise entirely and went for poise increasing hyperarmor during attacks/roll recovery instead. That said, I think the balance needs to be tweaked because it's too easy to be stunlocked by fast thrusting swords in PvP and groups of enemies in PvE. The type of poise you can turn on in the code isn't the answer, though--it's just too much.

Babe Magnet posted:then how do you explain the video where they adjusted the value and poise is clearly working as it's worked in every other souls game? The old poise mechanics still being legacy code in the game is a simple explanation. They dummied out stuff instead of removing it in several products. I mean in Xcom 2 the code for the original games perks was still in the new game, to the point that the "get a random perk as a bonus" feature might actually give you a perk from the original game that would normally be unobtainable. Code from original games gets left in new games all the time, even if its unused or unwanted. Not saying the current implementation is intentional, but if it is, that stuff being there is simple to explain, because they simply didn't remove it when they changed the system.

If its intentional, they should have done something about items and weapons with arts that became pointless because of it. I'm trying to believe they made an error instead of the more likely alternative that they just didn't give a poo poo. Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Apr 26, 2016 |

VagueRant posted:You know about the Dancer, right? What weapons does the beating the dancer give you early? I know there are a few big ones, but a lot of the coolest late game weapons still require you to beat three lords of cinder before you have access. You can't get any of the weapons I mentioned in my post until very late in the game even if you beat the dancer right away.

You can't get any of the weapons I mentioned in my post until very late in the game even if you beat the dancer right away. The Gotthard Twinswords are especially notable for this. You can technically get to where they should be before you kill the three Lords of Cinder but they won't be there until you do. They made the conscious choice that, even if you do the Dancer early, you shouldn't be able to get those until late-game.

I can see why they wanted us to not be able to follow the host into boss rooms because if you thought dealing with a rogue purp in irithyll was bad imagine one trying to get you while you're fighting the old demon king or wolnir

Armor helps more than just flat out more HP does. At least until your HP gets stupid high but why on earth would you invest in more than 25 or so vigor

Toiwat posted:Is it confirmed that the Blue Cape Knight outside the Dancer can drop Refined Gems? He did for me. I have no idea if it's a rare drop past the first one or if he periodically "refreshes" his drop, though. I killed him once before Vordt, then again after Pontiff, and I got a Refined Gem both times, but those are literally the only times I've killed him. I have no idea if I just got crazy lucky on the second kill or if he gets a new Refined Gem to drop for you based on your progression or something.

I think it's interesting to note it's not just poise on armor that's busted, but actual absorption. My full black knight set still can't take a punch from anything without gimping me insanely.

Jose posted:is it common to need to ember in order to survive a 2 hit combo from bosses or do I just need to get more than 24 vigor? That's how the game is, especially later on. Equip the Carthus Bloodring, roll a bunch of times and chug every time you get hit and it will usually be okay since it's almost impossible to get hit during your roll, you can roll a million times, your estus is really fast and you have so many shots in the flask. Along with the equipment distribution and weapon balance, this is my biggest complaint about the game.

Your Computer posted:If anyone else is having trouble with the Lothric Castle dragons and would like some better tips than "just run lol", I think I finally figured out how they work. They breathe fire based on their vision, but their vision isn't like most enemies in the game. You'll notice they swing their heads around a lot, and the trick is that they won't see you while they're swinging their head. Alternatively: bring a +6 bow and plink away at the first dragon and the second one "dies" at the same time

My full black knight set still can't take a punch from anything without gimping me insanely. from what i saw it seemed to work for some things but not others. i would get hit for like 50-100 by some attacks that used to do 250-300 in the early game, but no matter how much resist/absorb i had, the knights in LC that enchant their own weapons would hit me for like 700

I do know that he's the only Refined Gem source available until like Lothric Castle, though, and I have two Refined weapons, so I definitely did kill him once very early.

the only way I can imagine it would be any more bearable is to fart them while also wearing the covenant item the auto-invade covenants are hosed. Isn't there something about them in the new patch notes though? e: I meant "farm them" but what I actually posted owns too so I'm not going to edit it

You're screwed. There's one PVP hotspot in this game and that is not it. It will probably not be fixed.
