Mel Mudkiper posted:I don't really care, it just seemed to me a sign, combined with the leaks and early promotional art, that you had to make your own bonfires at one point in development and they cut it and just activated all of them. Golden Goat posted:It feels like they intended to have bosses give you a coiled sword for placing a bonfire but just started to have bonfires just pop up after they died. Having every boss give you a coiled sword would've been kinda cool, if only because the animation of slamming it into a firepit is pretty cool. Tykero posted:Turns out I missed the gesture you get by summoning the Shade of Londor, which you can only summon if you're hollowed, which I can't do because it'll force me to level to 125. If it helps, I don't think SL 125 is meaningfully different from 120 for matchmaking purposes. I'm pretty sure 120s already can't invade 100s, and but 125 can still be invaded by 100s (the range is -10/+30 I think), so if you're going to 120 I don't think there's any reason not to go to 125.

I think the "make your own bonfire" stuff would have been neat but probably caused some big issues if you picked a bad spot for it. I figure they would have went with it being irreversible and given per boss.

I think the Nameless King guy is the original Warrior of Sunlight. We know that the WoS guy did something to get thoroughly disowned by Gwyn, have his image and his name stricken from history. Nameless King is into the 'path of the dragon' stuff, and Gwyn's shtick is that he loves slaying dragons, established all of the dragon-slaying knights, and loving hates dragons. The WoS altar has a broken spear that looks a lot like Ornstein's, and is fairly similar to NK's sword-spear thing. Nameless King chucks gold-tinted lightning spears. And he's really shockingly powerful for somebody who is never mentioned elsewhere. edit: okay I guess that was pretty obvious.

Yeah another reason I think that is the case is because they made a weird deal of the tutorial boss having a coiled sword and needing to take it to make a bonfire and then it never comes up again

Dr. Video Games 0112 posted:Ugh. I would make another character and try the different level ranges before you decide which one you want to be in. I was at 110 very comfortable and nice. Good duels, good invasions, good coop, everyone seems to know what they are doing for the most part with exceptions. Then I decided to move up to 120 since that's the popular one, thinking it won't be that big of a difference. Man, it's like night and day, maybe it's just me but after spending X amount of time at 110, 120 seemed like stumbling into a mental institution. I'll give it another chance, but I don't like it at all and wish I'd stay lower because it seems like everyone that's playing Souls for the first time read that 120 is the place to be online and that's all I ever queue into. SL 120 is largely a shitshow because it's the what most streamers are pushing and we all know how great Twitch chat is. But I also have a hard time believing that 10 levels would make a real difference for matchmaking unless the summoning/invasion range everyone's quoting (reds are apparently -10/+30) is way off. Either that, or you're now invading people who are 150, and they're all dumbasses? I can't imagine the difference between 110 and 120 would be that big, essentially. As for my own experience, I've been doing a lot of SL 60-70 PvP the last few weeks and I've run into very few people who seem to know what they're doing.

Read the item descriptions for everything associated with him, especially his soul, then go to a Dark Souls 1 wiki and read the description for the Ring of the Sun's Firstborn. The connection should be pretty obvious.

It's mostly a one-off personal experience that I was sharing and like I said I'll give it another chance before diving into another playthrough. The point of my advice was not to say there is a huge distinction in skill between 110 and 120, but rather not to listen to the internet about what is meta and try to find a range that you like.

Oh, well, yes, that's a good point and I agree. I think what people mean when they ask for the SL meta is that they want to know where they're going to get a good amount of action. Level too high and you'll start having a harder time finding invasions/duels/co-op to do. An SL meta lets you know roughly around what range you can expect people to be clustering. But anything from like 30 to 150 is relatively safe right now so you're right, just find a range that you find fun and have a good time.

Hmmm, ok so more npc vs. npc trip reports- I got the Crucifixion Victim in the dungeon all the way to the spot where a bunch of basilisks fall out of the ceiling. He hosed up the giant rats and the little rats on the way there, too. Now, thing is that basilisks have like, the wimpiest actual attack that they never use. There's no way that the Victim would lose to that. Except he died, but I was distracted by another rat and missed it. So I think he got loving cursed, which is actually pretty amazing. I'm pretty sure the jailors can lower his HP, too. e; OR he just clipped out of the map like an rear end in a top hat, which is what he did on my next attempt Mazerunner fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Apr 27, 2016 |

Tenzarin posted:Summoning the pale shade of yonder does give you a gesture. Right, but I can't summon him since I'm not hollow. Somebody else said that if another person summons him while you're in their world as a friendly phantom it won't also give you the gesture, just the host. Are you saying that's not the case? If I wasn't such a purist baby I would just bust out cheatengine and give myself the gesture. That way lies madness, however, as I learned in DS2 trying to be a career invader with the idiotic soul memory & cracked red eye orb systems. I'd really rather not move to 125 since I like to do fight clubs on top of random invasions. Being at 125 when everyone else is in the club is 120 feels like cheating, even if it doesn't really make much of a difference. It's a stupid pride thing.

Is parry timing more generous in PvP? Because I was absolutely wrecking fools last night with the katana parry, despite never having tried parrying online before (because I assumed the lag would make timing too tricky).

Cheat engine cant give you gestures, it gives you an item that is a gesture and it doesnt get added to your gesture list and does not complete the achievement. Some guy said he figured out how but he never explained it, that's why I was rerunning the game.

I feel like 110 is the perfect sweet spot as the only level that can be invaded by all three proposed meta stopping points, while also giving quality/caster people like me enough to get those 50 points in magic.

Dr. Abysmal posted:I could probably count the number of times I've invaded a lone host on one hand. They tend to actually fight though, which is more fun than people fleeing back to whatever bonfire when even one of their multiple phantoms who are playing the game for them is defeated. The majority of the lone hosts I invaded would let me accompany them through the area, or in one case, challenged me to a naked fistfight. I only fought and killed one of them because he really, really seemed to want it.

Real talk: Are whips any good in this game? A few friends of mine are making castlevania-themed characters and I've had moderate luck pairing the whip mainhand with the rapier offhand since the whip seems to do fuckall to anything with a shield or aggressive move sets, like the Lothric Knights. Is there any hope for a purely whip Alvin and the Belmonts or is he to be a rapier pokeboy from here on out?
