Really feeling like they didn't adjust the efficiency of the number enough. At this rate they'll never get around to fixing the parameter either.

Tequila Sunrise posted:I really can't wrap my head around this either. Look at The Elder Scrolls, another really popular medieval combat franchise. Each of those games are like 100+ years apart and take place is different areas. But obviously, because they are from the same company and exist in the same universe, they are related. A sword existing in all three of the games is not a "reference", it's just something that happens. People talking about someone throughout games is not a "fan service", it's the way history actually works. You talk about things from the past. the elder scroll comparison is good, because TES games always starts you of as nameless prisorner who is set on some quest just like DS nameless undead and both games feature recurring items, lore etc. But What I and others don't like about DS3 is it does it with far more than just items and lore tidbits. DS3 have a lot of areas that are more or less directly lifted from DS1, to do a fanservice thing. After the tutorial you go to a castle zone with a dragon on a bridge -remember this from ds1! then you go to an undead settlement - remember this from DS1. Then you go in to a building, in its basement is a recurring miniboss in a room with pillars, that leads to the forrest road, this time it's an outrider knight, in DS1 it was a titanite demon. After going down the road you come to some open forrest area, where a pvp covenant guards the area - instead of joining it by talking to a cat, you no pray to a wolf that sleeps in front of Artorias grave - remember that forrest area from DS1, now it's a swamp and the cat is gone also instead of big cats guarding items, we now have big crabs. And it just goes on and on with these overly fanservice areas. DS3 is at it's best when it doesn't try to directly lift areas from DS1 and give them a small twist, but for me, there are just to many areas lifted from DS1. EDIT: Though the best reference is how you once again have to fight 4 similar demon bosses, everybody loved that in DS1 and now it's back!

Apologies if this is a scrub-tier question but i couldn't find anything from googling. Does invading reduce your future likelihood of getting co-op signs? Whenever i get my ember from a successful invade I never seem to find anyone to coop with later. But when I use an ember, often maybe a minute later, I get them straight away. Plus my invade character seems to only be able to have one friend along at a time.

I don't like the callbacks that feel very in-your-face but seriously it's not ruining the game or anything. Call backs are just a sort of thing you either love or hate and move on past to see the next original piece the game has.

No it doesn't affect at all, but your level and weapon upgrade might, if you keep yourself low leveled and with low upgrades. But DS3 matchmaking is wonky as gently caress, just see all the problems with the autosummon covenants

According to the ever-correct and accurate wiki when you make sirris into an enemy (offering tongues to rosaria) she becomes a hostile npc in undead settlement. I have scoured every inch of that area and I can't find her. Where is she and do I need to kill a boss first to trigger it?

Mentioned last page was reds hurting other reds. Ok but what about sun bro reds? Can other reds hurt them, or maybe even sun bro v sun bro? Just curious. I figure red on red was something for the sake of duels/fight club type stuff.

Next you'll be saying the Lava/Ice zone tropes are direct rips from other souls game.

1.07 server patch tomorrow http://www.darksouls.jp/information.html - Greatshields adjusted - Sorcery FP consumption adjusted (most likely upwards because it's so cheap compared to pyro) - Dragonslayer Axe, Crescent Axe, Darkdrift, Washing Pole, Moonlight Goonsword adjusted - Reapers adjusted towards sucking less, shield penetration rates and ATK going up - Stamina costs of some weapons going up - Bluebro covenant matchmaking improvisations promises again - Improvisations of passworded matchmaking (maybe that it fails less) - Other work done towards balancing and network errors

Nobody cares what you like or don't like, everybody's entitled to their opinion and all that poo poo For instance, I don't give a gently caress for PvP, never will, so Bloodborne's lack of it is pretty much not a negative for me; and likewise, I'm not really bothered by PvP issues in DS3, although it was the most fun I've ever had with Souls multiplayer. I recognize that I'm not exactly in the majority about that, at least in this thread, but I don't have to be. It's just that your justifications are rather strange and easy to make fun of. Maybe have a closer look first

So regarding the batwing demons transporting you to Undead Settlement that everyone hates - is it really nonsensical? In the first game they saw fit to transport the chosen undead to somewhere they couldn't reach on foot and they did the same thing in DS3. They're mentioned as being chaos demons but we still have no idea who they serve and why. They clearly have an interest in prolonging the age of fire and help you to that end. Or maybe they just serve the Serpents and like loving with you.

He is fairly weak to lightning, if you got the dragonslayer axe from Sirris questline that weapon works pretty well and can be buffed with lightning resin. Same with the lothric knight UGS you can buy from Grairat.

In DS3 they show up on a random bridge never to be seen again. Golden Goat posted:I'm using that very same axe at +6 and it just feels like it's not doing enough. In that case though I must be messing up his pattern since for the first phase he just teleports away once I get to him and I don't get a second hit. +6 should be fine, it sounds like you got unlucky with his IA more than anything. Normally you can get a couple of hits on his tail each time he teleports to a new location. But try the UGS if you consistently can only get one hit in.
