yea having an optional thing you can access relatively early is super nice, even if you'll definitely be really underleveled if you go in right away

My alt character just finished Farron's so I plan on blitzing the dlc with my level 110 dude, then going back and having fun with some of the other new weapons on the level 50 dude.

I haven't not killed the dancer early since like my 3rd playthrough, I'm hoping this isn't going to be an issue.

I was daydreaming at work today about a random dungeon generator. That the game had permadeath and a random item generator. I wish I had the talent to somehow create mod tools and then implement it. Works been slow.

Darks Souls roguelike would be cool. I don't think you can mod these games though.

Why don't you perform zazen, facing a wall?
In DaS you could access a debug mode and view models, including a bunch of weird poo poo like an prototype moving version of Bed of Chaos, Undead King Jar-eel, kid Beatrice, what the falling animation on a mushroom dad looks like, etc. And plenty of people have made smaller or larger graphical mods for UI, textures, FPS, that one mod where every enemy has a gigantic aggro range, and such. But full-on new content like random maps would require tools that aren't available to the end user, sadly. I'd love to play a SOTFS-style redux of DaS. At least there's Bloodborne for all your randomized dungeon crawling needs.

Chalice dungeons were actually pretty bad.

Souls games live by their amazing level design and randomization just shits all over that.

Got my fresh NG Pyromancer to level 68, in hindsight I kinda wish I'd stopped reinforcing my weapon at +7 just for invasions sake but oh well +8 it is. I'm super rusty so chances are I'll find it too tough rather than too easy, so the stronger weapon/flame should come in handy. Also raided Lothric Castle up to Oceiros/Dragonslayer Armor for souls and Chunks to have in reserve.

Ashes isn't in anyone's DLC box if they bought the season pass instead. you can toggle the season pass on and off but there's no files attached to it.

It's confirmed that it is the holders of the deluxe version who are getting screwed (the special pre-release that came with the soundtrack + season pass).

I'm not too annoyed but I hope they manage to sort this quickly.

You mean you can actually access it or you just now could pre-load the DLC? Cause if you're getting it early because of timezone fuckery... :argh:

I just bout the season pass a few hours ago. Try going to the Ashes of Andariel (or whoever) standalone DLC entry on your console and see if it's "free". I had to do this manually after claiming the dumb theme.

Something is downloading for me now. I bought the Season Pass pre-release and the game updated last night. I wonder if they fixed the gently caress up already.

EDIT: Yup. It says I own Ashes now.

also immediately warping out of the dlc is amusing

Hm so uh where's the npc? I'm warping to the cleansing chapel and don't see him.

I see ashes as in my library in steam and theres only a play now option so I'm guessing it's installed?

I beat Deacons of the Deep since that was commonly acknowledged that that was the way to get the NPC to spawn, but still no spawn.

Anyone else having problems accessing it? I just brought this guy to NG+ to play this DLC.

^Your stream is broken, no audio.

For whatever reason Steam Cloud didn't grab the saves for this game. Don't really feel like replaying through everything to get all the items back. Oh well :sigh:

on ps4, if you own the season pass you can go to the dlc page itself and start your download from there. it doesn't auto download tho, or at least it didn't for me

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
Been playing for about an hour and a half, pretty amazing how they can vary it up with the snowscape gimmick as you go through it. Didn't finish it yet, saw only one boss. But I like it so far.

Went in with my sorcery caster and was pleasantly surprised that enemies didn't just have resistances to the max like in the first two games (could they finally have learned?), though, I feel the single target projectile spells that killed everything in the main game didn't work quite as well, not due to the damage they deal, but rather it seems that AoE or utility spells may be more useful due to the number of some more nimble enemy types.

I don't even have a +10 weapon. I have a Crystal Lothric Knight Sword +8. Still feels like I'm dealing good enough damage.

So what all reaches the point of no return if I enter the Catacombs? I need to do Sirris' quest line. I have talked to her and given the old lady the ashes and talked to Sirris again, who offered her help. Is there anything else I will break by entering the Catacombs?

The Nioh demo absolutely killed my ability to play DS for a week, especially since it was so similar.

Yoel dies at this point, so if you want to open up Yuria you'll need to do his thing first.

Apparently he can be a bit of a pain to spawn. Try loading in/out of the area and restarting the game a few times if you're still having trouble.
