Is it possible to parry whips? I got invaded by a guy with a flame whip and that was obnoxious "death of a thousand cuts" bullcrap. I couldn't get near him to deal damage because his rolling and lacked reach on my own weaponry. I did manage to corner him eventually but holy balls was it long and tedious.

il serpente cosmico posted:That is a poo poo ton of stat investment. I guess this will become the glass cannon build? Might as well throw on red tearstone, too. It's actually much less severe than it seems, you start out with ~10 luck on most classes, and get +10 from using a hollow weapon in each hand, so it's only another 20 stat points.

Xenolalia posted:Sorry, I didn't really explain it well, but I bolded the quotes where the corvians are described in the same way as Priscilla, which definitely seems like an intentional link. They're described as unwanted/disgusting beings etc. which is exactly who the painted world was designed to hold. It's a fun hint that Bloodborne could somehow be a possible future for this world! It ain't the first one either, that headcanon has been alive ever since Marvelous Chester and please stay tuned for my fanfiction about how the way of white takes power in carim and eventually turns to worship of the deep and something something yharnam

It feels kinda weird that the Washing Pole is literally a straight upgrade over the Uchigatana if you're the kind of guy that uses katanas. Identical scaling at almost every level (sharp WP goes to B Dex one level later), WP has higher base damage, longer reach, swings just as fast, applies just as much bleeding. Because it has a longer reach it can also hit things slightly above you easier. So uh I guess if you're a relative newbie watching the thread or whatever, don't upgrade your Uchigatana past +6 if you're using it, save your titanite chunks for when you can buy the Washing Pole and just use that.

The fact that everything cool in this game equipment-wise appear in the last 3/4th of the game is already putting a huge damper on my "make a bunch of gimmick runs" fun  The fastest way to get a run going is to play through most of the game with a straight sword and then respec to whatever gimmick once you can finally pick up the weapon/spell and then.. Oops, game is almost over.Anyone here dabbled in CE yet for this purpose? I know I could trade with a person over password in order to start out with the equipment I want, but that's a lot of effort and coordination for something that achieves the same thing as a couple of seconds in CE. The big difference is of course risk of banning, but how much "better" is the cheat detection this time? In DS2 I just did the CE'ing offline and then did my runs online and I never even got softbanned.

Somebody tell me how the Darkmoon/Blue Sentinel covenants work, please... I got someoned for Blue Sentinels once (!) over a 2 hour period. I figured if I keep the host alive and kill enemy phantoms, I'd get a Proof of Concord Kept sooner or later. Sure enough, there's Aldritch Faithfuls all over the place. We manage to take down two, but... nothing. At this point, I figured that either a) I have to land the finishing hit, not the host, since the host dealt the deathblows for both enemy phantoms, or b) I only get the Proof if I escort the host to the fog door. Except I'm immediately booted out automatically once we reach the elevator to Anor Londo. What the gently caress? I get that you're automatically sent back at certain checkpoints, but does this mean I just plain can't earn Proofs if I get summoned to a location without fog doors? How does this work? No idea how the Darkmoons work, I never got summoned ever  I've been hanging around the area after the Pontiff at SL80 or so, but nothing. No luck getting any Proofs to drop from the Silver Knights, either, despite item drop around ~400 or so.Am I hosed? How do I get Proofs? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

jesus christ gotthard twinswords rock in pvp. Gotten a lot of tongues lately thanks to them, the l1 combo does poo poo tons of damage plus the weapon art is really good and quick. Also noticing that anyone who pops estus in soapstone pvp tends to be really terrible at the game holy hell e: can i just say i love the fight clubs people create, something about the idea of a bunch of dudes getting summoned and being gestured by the summoner to fight each other and somehow both getting the gist of it instantly is amazing to me. Don't think stuff like this happens outside the Souls series. smuh fucked around with this message at 12:06 on May 2, 2016 |

 Full blue and silver set  Head: Dancer's Crown Torso: Wolf Knight Armour Hands: Sellsword Gauntlets Legs: Lorian's Leggings I think this is the most blue you can get on an outfit (Outside the cleric robes). It looks great, and while a lot of gloves work with this set the Sellsword gauntlets are asymmetrical so the more heavily armoured left arm gets a gauntlet while the left gets handwraps. This'll probably be my final armour set for my main character. Here's how my guy's evolved through the game:   And now this newest one. Gotta represent the blue crew!

Sometimes it'll be a well kept token too but I can't figure out why that happens, wiki says aldrich faithful should give them but sometimes I get a regular token of aldrich and a well kept off a rosaria's fingers. I also get summoned to bluecop every 2 minutes

So in the unlikely case that I DO get summoned, not only do I have to find the enemy phantom/-s in time, it's also a competition for killing them first? And in the most active PvP spot of the game, I'm not only competing with a host who might just not know any better, but also mad phantoms, Aldritch Faithful, common dark phantoms, all also summoned cooperators and maybe even another Way of the Blue / Darkmoon guy? Okay, gently caress this. I'm putting off trophy hunting for good until a patch/DLC comes along with better ways of obtaining Proofs. Guess I'll go bother people as a mad phantom, then, because while I absolutely hate the laggy PvP, Mound Makers at least works extremely fast + reliably and is tons of fun for mindgames. Untrue White Ring, hell yeah

I swear that every time I get invaded its when Im embered after a boss fight victory, and the invader hides behind npcs so I just suicide rather than deal with trying to chase down an enemy that can run and estus, then just go get my souls back. I'd rather not even get embered after a boss victory

YoshiOfYellow posted:Man tonight has been a good night for multiplayer for me. From my brief experimenting with it, dealing with the whip seems to consist of "walk through the initial attack, hit whip user before they can do a second attack because it's slow and has no stagger". I guess hit and run could be viable, but the damage was piss-poor. I was using a pyromancer with only light dex investment thus far though and I have yet to get the fire whip, so this might change with full stat investment/the pyromancy scaling whip.

What would be really neat, is to actually be able to use my storage to pass items to another character. I think it'd be really neat to be able to pass down some of this awesome gear I'm finding as I progress to a new character.
