He had low vigor, it's not that complicated. Some people prefer to put those points into damage and be a glass cannon.

Also the gutter was a cool zone, I liked exploring with a torch and lighting all the braziers on the way to give a sense of progress After reading this, I just realized Drangleic and Drang Knights are one and the same, and every one of them have the highly coveted black armor (Llewyn or something?) people were grinding for in the castle. Angrymog posted:Sorry. This was me last night. I got roasted three times in a row by the breath weapon Yeeeah, one main constant In this series that I keep finding out the hard way is that in most situations, holding a regular shield up to a fire breath ends up you losing all your stamina blocking and taking fire damage, and an even greater amount of health from the counter damage. Happened to me on my first go around on helping a dude for this fight. Got hit three times with the downward fire breath. Fargin Icehole fucked around with this message at 09:00 on May 8, 2016 |

I just got the dragon tooth and its looking like it will out damage the FUGS at 50 strength despite only having B scaling and the FUGS having S. It also upgrades with titanite scales for some reason and not twinkling titanite

One thing I absolutely did not miss in Bloodborne was randomized weapon and equip drops from enemies. I've been trying to get weapons like the Corvian Scythe and other fashion items but I hate grinding. Especially in early game there's very little you can do to increase your chances

I finally decided to grind out the symbol of avarice just to make it faster. All in all, I spent probably 3.5 hours for one gem. I sure must have been unlucky, this is with 37 luck and the serpent ring as well.

After 200+ hours in this game I think I have a fairly good handle on this game. I love it and love that even after so much time I still have a lot to learn and a lot of try. However it is starting to show some cracks, some cracks in the form of balance, difficulty and stagnation. This has been my first Dark Souls game* I've ever played for any longer than an hour. After Everyone telling me how hard the game is I kinda feel cheated this game is by no means easy but it's also much easier then I was lead to believe. Most PVE fights come down to little more then a gimmick (yhorm), strafing around the side of your opponent or rolling constantly. Once you learn rolling negates damage you end up rolling through entire sections of the game. Rolling is a trump card for content, I really feel they need to make rolling a less powerful tool. There also needs to be a longer animation on estus chugging not for just pve but also pvp it's so easy to find a small opening in a fight to chain 2 or more estus charges. The mobs in the area before the boss are often many times harder then the boss it's self. On the subject of new game and new game +...etc I really thought it would change a lot more when I went to NG+ I was thinking enemy's would change a lot more then they do. I mean you go into it with +10 weapons and a high SL. Sadly you end up just steam rolling over everything the change makes it feel like you just bonfired back to the start not like you are starting a new game. The bosses should get new move sets and new transpositions and the mobs need to get a lot more health and damage. I'll talk about PVP later. *I want you to remember this when you hate me for my opinions.

Most if not all your complaints are universal to every game in the series. Dodge rolling and strafing is king. NG+ has always been bit lacking compared to something like Devil May Cry.

Rolling in DS3 is the strongest its ever been. Estus Chugging too. NG+ in DS2 was at least a bit different and a good direction compared to +rings only. Has anyone ever messed around with the Mangrub stafF?

I was really hoping NG+ would be way way harder as I got finished with my first play though I was excited for a new challenge but didn't really get that I just got the same thing with +% health added to bosses. Adding health is not adding difficulty just time and not a lot of it. There is so much you could do with a NG+ mechanic and they did almost nothing with it. I love this game so much but want to see some improvements that wouldn't cost a lot but add so much to the game. Personally I would be willing to PAY for some of these improvements in DLC.

DS2 has fantastic NG+ with tons of new and harder enemies added, and like in DS3 you can get +2 versions (on NG+ already) of rings you cannot otherwise get, but you can also MAKE the bosses be like NG+ bosses even if you yourself are on NG, so you ARE able to get all rings on your first playthrough if you so desire. It also hosed with rolling in that you had to level a stat to get better rolling, which murdered many players because it's never stated that it does so, and I think rolling being absurdly supercharged in DS3 is a gigantic backpedal because players hated Agility so much (it, by the way, also affected chugging speed). Coming off DS2 complaints it's easy to see why DS3 did many of its decisions, but I'm very much of the opinion that they went too far.

Ditching dumb stuff like agility was good, but they also threw out almost all of dark souls 2's improvements as well because I guess they read that people on the internet didn't like it as much. But rather than look at why that is and take a nuanced approach, they just ignored why 2 is a really good game (even if not quite as great a Dark Souls game) while getting so loving self-referential about dark souls 1 that their head pretty much has to be lodged in their colon by now.

I do miss lifegems from Dark Souls 2. It does fundamentally change the game and I know why they got removed, as you can have full health before every encounter without using estus. But for trying to get people who were new at this game to get kinda far, it was a good crutch besides telling them to gitgud and run past everything. That and being able to carry more than 198 arrows total. The one thing I hated about bloodborne was the stupid storage caps on items. I can deal with only having 99 arrows when alive, but the limit of 99 in storage sucks for the multiple times greirat leaves and eventually dies. He disappeared and his ashes wouldn't spawn till I hit the final boss.

Yeah I'm pretty disappointed in DS3's NG+, enemies and bosses don't feel much harder and I haven't noticed any new enemy placements or changes to existing enemies. Overall really enjoyed the game still but don't think I'll stick around for the PVP and to max out all the covenants like I did in DS2.

I think that 2 just feels more like a chore than it's that much harder overall. The abundance of healing items makes it less terrifying going through an area, s to even it out they added in lots more enemies and it's just a bit of a tedious slog.

Dark Souls 2 is cool because if you go Deprived (the best class) your starting weapon would almost always break between bonfires and the only weapons you could really equip with your stats were copies of the same piece of poo poo broken sword haha.
