Something I just remembered; wasn't there rumors about a whole mechanic where you have to choose where to make bonfires? I wonder what happened to that, or if it never existed in the first place.

This piece is cool because you can tell it was made pre-release by someone who had no context for any of these characters and so the composition makes no sense whatsoever once you're done playing the game. Actually, this artwork is cool because it's cool, I just wanted to say that. Internet Kraken posted:Something I just remembered; wasn't there rumors about a whole mechanic where you have to choose where to make bonfires? I wonder what happened to that, or if it never existed in the first place. They show the cover art dude (aka Soul of Cinder) in the intro movie thrusting the coiled sword into a hollow, they showed a dude in the Knight set thrusting another coiled sword into a hollow in in-game graphics in the first trailer, and there were definitely leaked screenshots of an early build showing the mechanic. I guess they just had to cut it because it wasn't working out.

I just assumed that the boss bonfires (who are all named after the boss) is what became of that mechanic.

Has anyone had any success getting the Pale Shade set? It's one of the NPC invader things I missed on my first character, but it seems awfully finicky to get so let me know if I got it right: Before killing Abyss Watchers: - Get 5 Sigils from Yoel so he dies. - When Yuria appears, attack her to make her mad (then kill her for her set?) - Get invaded in Farron Keep Then, before killing Pontiff: - Get invaded in Irithyll Valley - ??? - Set is now in Firelink where Yoel died? e: or do I anger Yuria by curing the sigil (and then immediately kill her for her set before she leaves)?

Man I can't even begin to count off the number of fantasy RPGs that make the player character undead trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth as a metaphor for overcoming worldly attachment and personal ambition to find inner peace. Literally a dime a dozen. I mean come on guy. PS it's the best Dark Souls because it has the most variety in terms of valid builds, and by extension the best weapon balance, and ways to enjoy the game.

Man, people pull out all the stops against the dread menace of "Purple Invader wearing Deserter armor, wielding a torch and broken sword" I'm sure you really needed to repeatedly step on the crossbow trap tile between firing soul arrows at me while your phantom spent 90% of the time hiding behind a greatshield. To be fair, even if I were trying to use GOOD methods of killing people, I'd still get my rear end handed to me. But you'd think they would chase after the red phantoms I'm flailing my broken sword at rather than backstab me while I'm doing that  EDIT: I'm under no illusions that I am any good, but I am still surprised at how people will go to any means necessary to stop "Guy swinging a pair of torches at your phantom".

So I hosed up and picked the fireball spew spell instead of Havel's Ring when turning in a soul of a stray demon. I'm doing a heavy armor strength axe build. Am I totally hosed now or is there something else that reduces equipment burden by 15% or more?

So I just learned that I've hosed up Siegward's questline and Greirat's questline at the same time because I was exploring and went one way instead of another. That's some bullshit Why do they make it so easy to gently caress up questlines and miss out on content, I don't want to have to use a guide for this poo poo

That's some bullshit I agree it's sorta lovely how easily you can miss them sometimes. The quests themselves are really cool though. There's a checklist that runs through each area for important items and who to talk to to progress quests here It's got mild spoilers but if you keep to only areas you're currently in it's okay.

One neat trick you can do in pvp is if somebody has a katana just stand still. stop attacking and hold your shield up and they will run in circles doing dash attacks forever. Tested multiple times before the new patch came out. Will test again tonight and report back.

speaking of katanas, the uchigatana guy by firelink really cannot handle jump attacks. it's basically a free hit and you can back off and do it again over and over until he's dead

Even though you roll past them, the attack will automatically pivot around and face the target. It gets him every time, and allows you to roll back away immediately. This can work on almost any human enemy except the overly aggressive lothric knights.

He can't defend against them and he's way too wired to react to melee range attacks.

1.06 regulation patch detailed, Blue Sentinels and Darkmoon level-matching width adjustments so that more action happens, performce adjustment of daggers twinswords and sorceries (it's all about scaling from, fix that), modifications of balance, error fixes. Not jack about poise.

I was trying to fight a dude in the Post-Pontiff PVP Playhouse (The PPPVPP) and he had a weird effect where it was like I was staring at the sun. There was a glow all over him that made him impossible to see, but it only lasted like 30 seconds. Is that a spell or a hack? If it's a spell, it was a really clever effect! I was super impressed!
