That's the problem with every cov in every game. They don't really think out the situation in which the players get to use it. Blue Cops have to be around the level of someone who is invaded (rare) AND has the blue badge on (even rarer.)

So there's a new game by the Lords of the Fallen guys coming out next month, and it's Sci-fi themed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDYMytZAqyo Hopefully they learned from their mistakes and it's better than LotF was.

Internet Kraken posted:Its really fun waiting an hour to get summoned for the Spears and then getting stomped by another gank squad Are you sure you don't just need to git gud? I've only done the spears a handful of times thanks to the slow summoning times, but each time it's been a gank squad of some size and each time it's been pretty easy. Use the spear item to damage/stunlock a phantom, or to create a safe zone where they can't approach. Play keepaway until a guardian gets summons and then stay near/protect them until their AI decides they're ready to heal. Tank if you feel you have the opportunity to kill at least one of them, with the spear buff you have enough poise and damage reduction to tank through a surprising amount of poo poo.

The fact that you think this is a good strategy makes it clear that you don't know what you're talking about. The guardian gets summoned after you go below a damage threshold so playing keep away doesn't do anything but mean you're wasting time and accumulating chip damage. In phase 2 you don't want the guardian to heal because its unreliable as hell, you want them to actually help you combo someone down. Cause the hard part of the fight is getting one phantom out due to how easy it is for someone to roll away at low HP and wait for their buddies to make an opening for them to heal. The fight is a lot harder when the guardian's AI decides to be useless and just throw daggers or buff himself while you're trying to deal with 3/4 people shoving greatswords into your back. Also if you haven't played since the nerf they slashed your damage absorption versus gank squads down by a ton. Tanking anything is usually a bad idea now and the poise isn't enough to resist the paired greatswords everyone is lunging around with now. Back before the nerf you didn't actually need your useless painting guardian to win since you could just tank everything and combo the phantoms dumb enough to not play around your increased defenses.

Genocyber posted:drat there's a lot of good poo poo in there! Wonder if this patch is coming so quickly because of the boss invasion glitch popping up again. Hope that stays around in some form after they stop patching the game, that's such a fun glitch. Probably that in combination with embarrassment about somehow managing to do the exact opposite of what they intended to do with elemental infusions. Somehow.

What's the current consensus on the best weapons for a quality build? Been using my same long sword and occasionally the irythll sword which are both good. It I need a change of pace. Even if it's just a different looking straight sword.

Lotheric is great, good range great damage (provided no lightening resists)

Cool. A greatsword sounds like a good call. Does the Zwei suck in DS3 or am I remembering wrong? Also, any thoughts on that wolverine claw/rapier combo you get from the bird men? It looks pretty badass but seems like something I would upgrade and find out it sucks after it's too late.

That greatsword is a strength weapon, but does work refined. Claymore would be better served. Basically any weapon that is good is good quality.

The game even jokes about this at times in descriptions for the more commonplace weapons like the Longsword or Broadsword or Spear or whatever, mentioning how common and readily-used the weapon is and how this is actually a good thing because it means the weapon does its drat job.

Have had to deal with the same obscuring ring mound-maker in Midir twice in 10 minutes while assisting. Second time I had completely tied him up until the host died with 10% left on Midir.

Internet Kraken posted:This was a major disappointment to me. From did nothing fun with invaders in all of DS3, aside from Tsorig emoting after he flattens you. Y'know what's great about Tsorig's emote? He's programmed to do it when he kills you, but if you have Second Chance, you'll end up not dying, but he'll still emote, leaving him open to a retaliation. It feels fitting, like punishing a real player for getting cocky about bowing.

Can someone subtly nudge me in the right direction here. Playing AOA and I don't know where to go. Killed the big wolf and it seems to be a dead end. Everything else just seems to be a big loop de loop with that whole bug pit section just being a shortcut to...that chapel with a bonfire in it that I've already been in. Not sure if I'm missing a path. I'm assuming the next step involves the woman in the chapel in some way because she is surrounded with messages, but I'm hesitant to just whack her with my sword.

After reviving Spears of the Church for like the 50th time I finally got another hard fight. Surprisingly from a guy with a bandit's dagger of all things. He added me on Steam afterwards and had this to say;quote:Fun fight, but don't bow next time flame spamming fgt. Of course  SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:How does projected heal compare to the others? Its terrible from an FP-to-HP standpoint but its the fastest self-heal in the game when you aim it at the ground. In a place like the arena where you have tons of ashen estus but no regular its kind of busted in that regard, as its hard to punish and the high FP cost isn't much of an issue. But for like invasions and such its probably not a great choice. For its actual intended purpose of healing distant allies? Awful because Souls players are idiots and will probably roll away from your heal. veni veni veni posted:Can someone subtly nudge me in the right direction here.

Go explore the bug pit more thoroughly. There's a mechanism inside it that you need to turn.

If you get invaded by him then run across the bridge and break it, he'll eventually just walk off the edge. The emote will show up as his thanks for giving him a quick death I guess

veni veni veni posted:Also, any thoughts on that wolverine claw/rapier combo you get from the bird men? It looks pretty badass but seems like something I would upgrade and find out it sucks after it's too late. I love both of them, but this is on my pure dex build. Neither of them are better than my Sellsword Twinblades, but they're both fun and moderately useful. The rapier I find more fun between the two, but the claws are probably better overall. The rapier's L1 combo is a little janky; the second hit is a flurry of stabs, but if you miss then you're left super open. The weapon art on the claws is fun, but isn't super practical since it can leave you open for an eternity. The dagger throw on the rapier doesn't do a lot of damage (unless you're right in their face), but the chip damage usually catches people off guard, and the R2 follow-up is strong and usually people don't see that coming either. Obviously these surprise elements aren't a huge deal in PvE, but since you can jump in any direction when throwing the daggers, and the lunge forward covers a lot of distance, you can be surprisingly mobile with the rapier - dodging an attack by throwing daggers, then counter attacking with the follow-up R2.

What's going on with Anri's quest line? There's a prism stone outside AL but no summon sign next to it. I'm embered, Anri's corpse isn't on the darkmoon altar, I killed the pilgrim assassin, I exhausted Anri's dialogue, and Anri is gone from Yorshka's. I never ran into Horace in the Catacombs so I had no option to answer anything other than No during those conversations.
