It would be fine if From could just stop trying to do anticheat. They suck at it, and cause more problems than if they hadn't bothered. I already know how to stop most of this stuff dead, and it's not hard.

I feel like at least like, 25% of the bloodstain phantoms I find are wearing the Xanthous Crown. I don't have anything against it (although it's not nearly as cool as the one in Dark Souls 1), but I'm wondering if it's some sort of glitch, since I don't remember seeing much of anyone wearing it in the first game.

Yeah half-assed anti-cheat/anti-piracy is almost 100% of the time worse than none at all

I'm guessing it's all still based on whatever they were using since Demon's or Dark Souls, and trusts absolutely everything from they client because they figured it was only going to run on the PS3?

Things of note for the bonewheel shield: I'm not far enough in to test the more exotic infusions but the only one that doesn't drastically reduce the damage so far is heavy. Special attack takes up all your stamina no matter how much you have and only hits four times. Pontiff eye rings don't work with it. Hits hard enough to stagger all of the bigger enemies. Except bosses. Damage output is pretty bad. Why did DS3 have to take away my favorite play style?

If the crappy anticheat didn't exist, Watchdog would be out already and none of this crap would be a discussion right now. I guarantee it. Of course, a big part of the problem is the Cheat Engine forum. They ostensibly say "no online hacks allowed", yet the first post table has stuff in it that shows the data of phantoms, like their stats. What the hell do they think that is for?! Fortuitous Bumble posted:I'm guessing it's all still based on whatever they were using since Demon's or Dark Souls, and trusts absolutely everything from they client because they figured it was only going to run on the PS3? A lot of data structures are practically copy-pasted from DS1, with extra DS3 stuff bolted on. DS2 didn't do this.

It was on the body of a human that was huddled up next to it, probably Quelana herself.

Flubby posted:So about the lore and Aldrich, heavy spoilers obviously: So Aldrich and Smough are one in the same, is that right? It cant all be coincidence can it? What I remember about Smough is that he was rejected from becoming a knight because he ate people. Aldrich also eats people. When you go looking for Aldrich you learn he went back to his true home, and that ends up being Anor Londo. Not just Anor Londo, the same room as the Ornstein and Smough fight. Also you meet Ornstein again in Dark Souls 2, suggesting he and Smough, much like the sun and Gwynevere, were just illusions of a past greatness kept up by Gwyndolin. Also, when you beat Aldrich, like most the bosses, his armor shows up at the merchant, and it's Smough's armor. OK, so let me see if I got it all straight. Smough and Ornstein leave Anor Londo and go their separate ways. Ornstein heads to his home country, and Smough moves on down to Illythil and became a saint. Also he kept eating people and gods until he became a blob? And that includes Gwyndolin? Does that sound right or is Aldrich someone completely different? The only thing I can think of to contradict this is that Hawkwood says that Aldrich used to be a cleric, rather than a warrior. Also I'm not sure that Smough was an illusion the same way Ornstein was in DS1, which would retroactively explain the way he callously smashes the corpse with a hammer to absorb its power during the bossfight. If Smough was Aldrich, then he must have left eventually, since Hawkwood also says that he ate enough people to become a sludge monster, and then he was moved to the Cathedral of the Deep. At some point he was "made" into a Lord of Cinder ("not for virtue, but for might"). Then when the flame starts to fade he returns to Irithyll.

Lore question for you all: It has been suggested that the world of DSIII is actually not a declining age of fire, but instead actually the age of dark alluded to in the lore of the first two games. The world does look distinctly different from the previous ages of fire, and it would explain why DSII says that even the age of dark has embers that can reignite into a new age of fire. Other evidence for it is that Prince Lothric never died like the other Lords of Cinder, and speaks of watching the flame die. That could mean we are essentially in the world of someone who refused to link the fire and we finally see the consequences of that. It also makes the betrayal ending make a little more sense. We are notcreating yet another age of dark like before, but creating an age of true dark in which the fire is permanently ended thoughts?

For souls newbs like myself, this video was very helpful in explaining general terminology as well as the various softcaps and the secondary effects of stats. If you plan to PvP it also briefly discusses the level meta. ..plus I like the dude's voice.

I am so loving tired of fighting this dragon. I hate this so much. The best part is that it doesn't seem to matter if I lock on or not. There's always at least one attack in this phase that involves the camera loving up and me getting stabbed in the back.

I hate this so much. do you mean ancient wyvern? because it's a gimmick fight. you can just kill it by drop attacking its head. this kills it in one hit tho, if you're like me and feel like killing it for real, wait on the stairs to the right of the arena and just roll into its neck when it swipes at you. the hitbox for the neck isn't very big so it's easy to get through. you can easily kill it by doing that and hitting it when it tries to breathe fire on you, since it won't actually be able to hit you with it. you just don't want to stay under it because the hitbox on the feet is bullshit and you do no damage unless you hit it in the neck/head
