Cyberventurer posted:I don't know about giving the game an easy mode, but I'm replaying through it and it does seem like the latter half of the game's enemy damage is a bit out of whack in places. I don't know how much armor I'm supposed to be wearing for this to not happen, but in full Thorns armor, 27 vigor, rings of favor and life, some bosses' heavier attacks are routinely lopping off 3/4ths or more of my total life bar for a single dodging mistake. I think it'd be a little better if some of that stuff was toned down just a bit, and then maybe slash the amount of estus you get throughout the game because I feel like one was enabling the other. I just respecced one of my characters from like 27 vig and base vit to 45 vig and mid-20s vit and the difference in survivability is extremely noticable. I am using the stoneplate ring, but I'm also running below 30% equip load so my armour isn't great (I'm using full Shadow + bandit chest) Wildtortilla posted:Invading is pointless and not fun in this game. An endless sea of gank squads. Mostly I would just like to see other players' animations, I just had about 10 invasions in a row where the host and all phantoms were gliding around being assholes. I actually managed to beat a couple which was fun but I wanted to practice my parries

We then both restarted our games and it started working again but ehh, I don't know what's goin on really

Harrow posted:In theory. Hey harrow I finally got some summons to farron watchdog. I made a new character and had to run straight there and not upgrade any weapons past 2. I'm using a black knight greataxe I gave to myself through a third party, unupgraded. I am dying a lot because I can only swing it twice. Literally can't get a blue summon though. Get a farron one every 3 minutes.

Just had my first proper 1v1 invasion in DS3 by a greatsword wielder, with me as a plebian longsword spammer (as my traditional build demands). He was good at avoiding the stunlocks and getting some hits in. His one parry would have one shotted me from max health if I had one less level in vigor. The longsword stunlocks definitely carried it for me though, after I remembered how to strong attack. Any other Souls game and I would have been rectally annihilated 30 seconds in by some havel's + ring rear end in a top hat. The dude traded short range dps, for range and high alpha damage which nearly killed me, which is fair in my e; What's the PC control key to switch between your chosen arrows/bolts? Shift key is only temporary I believe. School Nickname fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Apr 27, 2016 |

Am I missing something, or is the game really bad about indicating to the player that a big enemy is stunned and can be hit with a riposte (or whatever you fall the fake-visceral attack)? Bloodborne gave an excellent audio queue and the animations made it really clear as well, but here it seems like arbitrary and stupid.

On second thought, maybe I don't want Profaned Flame anyway. "Hey, I know! Let's make the rats respawn! That'll be fun! It'll be such an interesting challenge to dodge the giant's stomps while constantly staggered by an endless swarm of rats."

where the hell do I find refined gem's? Everything I've read has said to farm lothric knights so I spent like 45 minutes killing the 3 (2+1 red eye) near the Lothric Castle bonfire and haven't gotten a single drop. Sadly I only found one much earlier in the game and used it on my starting weapon. What's a quality build duder to do with his Lothric Knight Sword +8? Maybe I should use a different gem? I'm at like 26 Str 22 Dex now. Should I keep farming for Refined?

IronicDongz posted:beaten, but this very video you quoted shows it happening, right here, and the kicker actually loses more stamina than the person holding the havel's, who loses a totally insignificant amount and will basically never get guardbroken. I just had to look up that Havel's set is in the game. The conditions for finding that armor are so loving dumb, holy poo poo are you kidding me?

Harrow posted:On second thought, maybe I don't want Profaned Flame anyway. I seem to be having technical issues. For whatever reason I seem to be unable to use R2-based skill attacks, such as Stomp's and Spin Slash's continued effect/the upward slash with straight sword and greatsword Stance/the flurry of blows with thrusting sword Stance. What might be causing this? I suspect it may be my controller and/or the accompanying settings, but I'm not certain what to change. R2 on its own or with a leap (that is, run + R2) works fine, for the record. I'm currently using a Logitech F310 on XInput Mode with x360ce/64-bit. (I also own a Logitech Dual Action should that make a difference.)

Hey gang. Tried googling and couldn't find a definite solution. Has anyone experienced an issue where navigating the equipment inventory and other menus resets the ambient track? It keeps happening when I'm checking item descriptions and it's very jarring. Sound drivers are up to date.

You need either an offhand that allows you to use weapon skills in your main hand, or you need to two-hand the weapon you want to art around with. Hold L2 and then perform your attacks with R1/R2. Some weapon skills take more than one attunement slot, I believe.

So I found a hidden path early in the Aldrich area with two alligators in a basement. I can't seem to just aggro one even though they're well separated and they hit like a truck. Any ideas? I hear their ring is really good.

If you leave the little boxed-in area where the ladder is, they both automatically aggro on you. Try pegging one with an arrow from the far opposite corner of that area and bringing it to you.

Couldn't you just lure both rat dogs to the ladder, then spam boulder heave from the top to kill them? I didn't try it myself but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Like I said, I seem to be unable to use R2-based skill attacks specifically - R1-based skill attacks such as the straight sword Stance shieldbreaker work just fine! Ah, I misread, my bad. If you've got sufficient FP to do the R2 version, then yeah, sounds like your controller is hosed up somehow.
