MrLonghair posted:(PS4) Today I have ceased getting all bluebro action on my level 25 (+3/10) despite it being the weekend.Wolfbro and Aldrich summons kick in within moments of returning to my own world. The gently caress. Where you getting summoned for blues before? Some speculated that it might be a rich get richer situation with the bluecops at least. Characters that helped defeat an invader once might have higher priority and end up locking out others. Now that it's a good while after release the only way to get summoned for blue is to get a lucky summon that then gives you precedence for the next. But if it just stops even for people that did get summons it can't be that.

Here's this excellent quote from reddit about this: [–]SicWilly666 5 points 1 month ago No offense but most of us are glad it's gone It kinda ruined your ability for farming certain drops and if you're having trouble with specific enemies or a certain run up to a boss You should learn their patterns and overcome that obstacle That is one of the core principles of a SoulsBorne game Basically Get Gud These are the people who get to influence gameplay decisions.

At that level and with that build I got to help kill a lot of invaders too.

Perhaps the issue with bluecops is that there's almost no reason to be invaded in the game since you can ember right outside the boss door, let alone a reason to equip the blue baby covenant. So there's no one to help that isn't already fine in pvp, that or if they know enough to get the baby covenant, they won't use it. Idk how all the covenants work, but it's weird that blue cop is essentially the gravelord covenant instead of the good old invade invaders from DS1

You can get the Moonlight Greatsword pretty early if you are willing to exploit bugs. If you want to rely on your own personal skill then its a bitch.

You can buy them from the handmaid when you pick up the ashes in Farron Keep. In High Wall of Lothric the Fat knight and the red eye balder near Emma have a high chance and the hollows have a low chance to drop them.

Invading and killing six phantoms while the host scrambles around summoning more is just peachy. He summoned the same guy trice, probably his passworded guard dog since he was in full havel and dark sword. Just wish i could get a shackle from each one i kill.

Tallgeese posted:Okay I am ready to agree with everyone who says Darkmoon autosummon is busted. It's still completely mind boggling to me that, out of every improvement DS2 made, the only thing From picked up mechanically from it (aside from VIT) is the atrocious Way of Blue system. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.

Domattee posted:Where you getting summoned for blues before? Some speculated that it might be a rich get richer situation with the bluecops at least. That would be interesting. It doesn't seem like Contribution Rate is concord contributions alone, since to test this theory I just threw 79 concords at Yorshka and that value didn't move. That, or they made it so that Contribution Rate only updates after a successful Darkmoon summon, exactly like Sin in DS1. That's why lowering Sin in CE didn't seem to work in DS1: it actually did, but you had to get killed by a Darkmoon for a decrease to take effect. Why would I not be surprised.

I'm loving the boss designs and fights in this so far. Just did High Lord Wolnir last night. When I walked up to him and his bracers lit up I yelled out and my wife laughed at me  The cutscene before his fight, I just wasn't expecting it at all.

It can't be infused or buffed, and it's quite slow. It's simply extremely mediocre since it's riding split damage except without crazy scaling or buffing to help it out. It's not unusable crap or anything but it's not great.

That blue icon seems to scream "KILL ME AND ONLY ME" to all phantoms involved, from what I've seen, too.

Aside from getting tongues, is there a good reason not to invade as a mad phantom instead of a regular red? Reds are hostile to each other anyway, but get nothing out of it, and purples can fulfill their duty with phantom kills. I've had Mound-Maker invasions where I never even saw the host, but between cops and a summon that was more aggressive than his master I easily met my quota and hosed off back where I came. Meanwhile a lot of times I'm a red the other red just gets in my way or hits me. If everybody's gonna try to kill me I may as well be in the covenant where literally everyone is my enemy so the kills all count.

Plus you can probably accidentally kill monsters that you're using as backup.
