Nakar posted:I already mentioned that, but so what? You can't see half of them before you actually land in them (you can see the ash piles just fine, I'm not saying otherwise, but the sigil is hard to make out from above). I think a better idea would've been to make the ash piles a lot bigger and have some sort of wispy dust cloud effect wafting off the safe ones, but that might've been a performance nightmare given how much stuff is going on in the Dreg Heap already. But then the first time you drop down and a bunch of ash is thrown up in the air as you thump into a soft pile of it you'd grasp "okay that big pile broke my fall." As it is there's ash everywhere and it's impossible to distinguish so there's just random black sigils on the ground and messages from Gael indicating the ones that are especially comfy. I just meant that as a fiction justification. If you mean warning that you won't die all of them have a message left my gael telling you to drop.

lmao of course they're nerfing the loving Spears fight. God forbid there be a fight that isn't instantly trivalized by summons. Was gonna play BOTW today but I guess I should enjoy not being eviscerated in a 4v1 while it lasts.

I love how threatening Gael is when he changes to his second phase. He starts out as a mindless beast and then you smack some sense into him. I loved how the cape was floating and has a life of it's own and the lightning bolts. A lot of people are complaining about how over the top it is, but I thought it was great.

Internet Kraken posted:When none of the platforms are raised the Dragonrider can literally kill himself though. You deserve it for pledging your loyalty to that drowsy bitch. When I told my dad that my plan after graduation was to lock myself in a room by myself and sleep until the end of time, he beat me up and molested me twice, and you know what? He was right. Spending eternity spooning with fragile pottery doesn't make you "aloof" or "mysterious," it makes you "unemployed" and "mentally ill." How about you get a job? And as for you Internet Kraken, oh, don't think I've forgotten about you. Do you really think if you stop enough invaders or hand over just the right amount of Spear Ornaments that Princess Important, Her Royal Indolency of the NEET Kingdom, is going to reward you or any other member of your merry band of orbiters? Please. As to your devotion to that enormous, comatose bimbo (that I'm certain you call your "waifu"--a term that you've no doubt convinced yourself that you're using ironically as a defense mechanism against realizing just how deathly sincere you truly are) the "service" you provide her could be accomplished by a deadbolt and a pair of earplugs, but they don't fawn over her or enable her incredible laziness, so a gaggle of of nervous, greasy, acne-scarred sycophants it is! I can't decide who needs the wake-up call more, Little Miss Bedsores or the hopeless Spear-polishers who idolize her. ... I may have been crushed a few (several) times by the Spears in that boss fight...

They didn't change their programming (however that works); I dropped one on the last fall before you get to the second bonfire and it gives that horrible *CLANG* sound.

I'm guessing it's insulating the Ringed City from the world. Originally it was meant to keep them locked in, but now it's locking everything else out. When the dream is broken the collapse of the world washes over the city and it takes on the ages of ruin from the cycles of linking all at once.

SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:A fight against a dark corrupted person starts with them throwing a corpse at you off their sword (their stance is sort of similar too.) This was funny to me because people keep comparing Gael to Guts but uh... that was kind of exactly what was going on with Artorias, down to the wolf stuff. I've honestly kind of made my peace with the idea that Dark Souls and Bloodborne are the creative and coherent ones, and Dark Souls 2 and 3 are just sort of fun games that make poo poo up like as they go.

Tier 3 sunbros should get an extra bright summon sign but nobody else can be summoned if you summon them Would be a nice change of pace from "Wait 5 minutes for the host to gather two more summons, host dies in 15 seconds anyway"

Speaking of cheating, there's apparently a glitch where if you use the Force miracle, throw a throwing knife, and then quickly switch to the Spear Fragment, you can use Spear Fragments outside of the boss fight - except the spears are completely invisible! I'd link the video, but it's incredibly obnoxious and way to long, so whatever. If you're mysteriously killed by an invader using force, that's why.

When I was at the first Judicator gauntlet, I saw 2 mad spirit summon signs that looked like NPCs, even having equipment from DLC that I hadn't seen before and names like "Lorin of Londor" or whatever. I summoned both of them, and saw they spawned right near the Judicator and they took it out and waited for me there, since they were obviously players. I tried to black crystal them out before they did so because I wanted to do the gauntlet myself, but I couldn't. They dueled on the platform, then I dueled the survivor and lost, and was pretty pleased that it respawned. I didn't know you couldn't black crystal phantoms you summoned from your game.

RoadCrewWorker posted:Yeah i haven't played it yet, it certainly seems to hit the subjective difficulty spikes pretty hard. Although unlike DS it has difficulty modes, i've heard. I thought the first boss felt like a reverse spin on the old gargoyle fight; at this point fighting two mobs is old hat, in stark contrast to the "I HAVE TO KILL TWO OF THEM?" when you first face Gargoyles in DS1. So then of course the boss's "real" form is the "fair" 1 on 1 fight

Dreg Heap is made up of Lothric Castle, Earthen Peak, and Firelink Shrine (look around the demon boss fight area for the last one, you can even see Frampt's shrine) I feel like they could've done more with Firelink Shrine or made it more obvious, and I hate that they used Earthen Peak and not a more memorable area like Lost Bastille, but I guess they didn't want two contrasting castle areas.

The fact that they used Earthen Peak but didn't have any mannikins jumping out of the ash to gank you is sad. Also I think Zoey doesn't even use forbidden sun which is definitely the most memorable bullshit move the pyromancers had. The Dreg Heap is supposed to combine elements from all 3 games but most of it is Lothric Highwall. Its a cool area but I really wish it was longer. gently caress the Ringed City, that place is way more interesting. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Apr 4, 2017 |

Starting a new run to do both AoA and TRC since I've never done them before and to do my first pure solo run in DS3. Have to admit I'm having real trouble with Sister Friede and have actually had to change my armor+shield setup, something I haven't done for any other boss yet. A max frost defense and max stability shield setup has allowed me to facetank her first phase easily enough. I just find the next two phases to be fairly annoying in that I can't get a hit in most of the time, the third phase in particular. I can see why they give you gael even when unkindled, but I'm not gonna use him. At least I'm getting plenty of sunlight medals helping guys who aren't as patient as me. Lots of guys seems to have just caved and gotten two sunbros and gael to completely chew her up.e; Scratch that, three sunbros and gael.  People must really loving hate this boss to want to loving gangrape it.e2; My will is straining... struggling not to summon Gael...

Holy crap, I haven't been playing this for ~10 months and I picked it up again with both of the dlcs. I started a new character with old topic suggestion of vordt's hammer and otherwise vigor/endurance build. It has been the smoothest playthrought of all time.  Vordt's hammer, grass crest shield, chloranty ring and medium armor with tons of hp. Smooth sailing.
