I'm pretty sure it's cause if you get banned, you can just make a new steam account, family share to it, then continue on with the same save. It's honestly a bit of a shame, cause I wanted to try that new cinders mod. Problem is, going online will get you banned with it, so the mod developer suggests family sharing to another account and just letting that get banned.

What prompted it exactly? Nuebot posted:I'm guessing it's namco-bandai who's behind it because they're really, really weird about streaming and stuff. For example, you just straight up can not stream Gundam Breaker 3 or the PS4 Super Robot Wars games at all. For absolutely no reason, and the games already block you from recording cinematics and stuff or taking screenshots during certain parts of the games. I guess I'm the one goon that really likes DS3 pvp over the other DS games huh. Bandai have basically said that this move was to address the hacker problem on PC, where in the past few months there have been a lot more of the malicious hackers that inject invalid items on you in order to get you softbanned online. Bandai's support answer to unsuspecting innocent players is still "we'll grant you a one-time unban if you delete your character and wait until after a week/month, but don't let it happen again or you'll be permabanned!" Family sharing the game to another account was a way to avoid it happening again and eating a permaban. You still had to start over too, saves are not transferable between steam accounts. None of the item injectors trip the "anti-cheat" at all, and it's not like ending family sharing will stop them either. Malcolm Reynolds is still doing his thing, and even made a short video about why this won't do poo poo.

1. Who is Malcolm Reynolds in Dark Souls context? 2. What is powerstancing? 3. Is playing DS1 Remastered on the Switch (undocked) a good idea? I'm just waiting for it to go on sale. What's your favorite cheese technique for certain types of enemies? I just wanna hear creative ways to kill tough foes.

I sometimes cheese bosses if I don't feel like fighting them again. In DS3 you can cheese the 2nd stage of Prince Lothric by standing in a certain spot right behind where they spawn in and kill him with a bow. As long as you don't move or hit Lorian they won't aggro you. The charged R2 on the Astora greatsword is just broken for fighting any NPC, including Halflight.

Schneider Heim posted:1. Who is Malcolm Reynolds in Dark Souls context? 2. something DS3 has to poorly emulate with dual-wield weapons (like the Caestus) 3. I had zero issues playing it and it sweetened many long plane rides for me. Go for it! My favorite "cheese" technique is actually the Buckler. A surprising amount of enemies shut down completely if you parry them, and I find it easier to parry than trying to dodge well for all their attacks. Black Knights are one such enemy (though I know you find them doable), as are some bosses. Another strategy I like is jump-attacking with super heavy weapons. It's been something I've utilized since DS1: for many heavy weapons, the quickest attack you can get out is the jump attack, and it closes gaps as well. You can alpha-strike and completely paste some assholes really well once you get the timing on the buttons down.

I beat the Deacons of the Deep. I chugged a lot of Estus to kill the giant before the area, then almost died to the Cathedral Knight because I stopped to summon Horace, and tried to summon Anri. It cornered me and I rolled just in time to let the iframes kick in against the vertical slash it did. I was wearing the Pontiff's Left Eye so I wasn't really in any danger from the boss, and Anri & Horace distracted the main pack enough. I think the hardest stretch of the Cathedral was the path to the first shortcut, it took me about three tries to open it (on my 2nd, I opened a door with no less than four hollows wailing on my back). I'll take some time to farm the Cathedral Knights, get to the Rosaria bonfire, and save Siegward idk. Can Farron Keep be speedrunned?

So I want to participate in some pick up jolly cooperation and I see ~21k people on pc but can't seem to get summoned or see any summons at what I consider "normal" soul level and weapon upgrade level for each area. I've tried lvl 25 +2 in road of sacrifices and cathedral of the deep and am now 37 +6 at church of yorshka. I don't have a password on and can get invasions and blue sentinel/watchdogs of farron summons just fine so it's not a connection issue. I assume just level and upgrade ranges have shifted since I last played? Anyone have anecdotal perspective on where I should be to get co-op hits at various areas?

I got summoned pretty darn frequently when I placed my sign at Nameless King a couple months ago, almost as much as I did much closer to the launch date. Other bosses were crap shoots though.

Yeah you got to place signs in front of what might be considered hard bosses if you want more rando summons. Put it in front of Pontiff instead of in Yorskha's, although you'll still be waiting a while probably. Also SL37 is low for there, SL50-60 +6 would be more optimal for Irithyll/Pontiff.

Finally did DS3's DLC, and man, Gael is what I look for in a true final boss battle. He's the right kind of challenge I want from a Souls fight: not overly complex combos, reasonable hitboxes, gives you enough room to actually heal/attack, will punish blatantly stupid moves. Friede can gently caress off, I'll play an actual character action game if I want that poo poo. Gael Bro 4 Life And well, I guess I bid a fine dark soul to all of you too!

I know this is the DLC thread, but the generic DS3 one seems kinda dead. I swear to god, sometimes this game knows what you want and just tells you to go eat poo poo. I decided I wanted to play around with the flamberge on a new character and have been doing laps around the cliff underside bonfire killing that one thrall (and the workers) for two hours now. I've gained...six? seven levels? and I've gotten a handful of titanite shards from the fucker along with 3 hoods. I've also gotten about 4 complete sets of worker gear and 3 fire gems, but no flamberge. Anyone feel like dropping a sign there and handing me one? I'm currently level 27. (I'm unsure about regions or the best way to set that up if there is one--I'm normally just a PVE guy.) I'm also hoping that just by posting this it will drop, since poo poo often works like that.

That is pretty much why I simply quit DS3 early, I figured online was going to be a shitshow no questions asked. This was compounded because DS3 releasing was the start of absolute assholes releasing their cheats day one. This was much, much, much less of a problem in the previous games because for a long time, many people kept stuff to themselves. Schneider Heim posted:1. Who is Malcolm Reynolds in Dark Souls context? Malcolm Reynolds is a guy who has a significant fanbase built upon screwing around with people in online videogames using hacks. He is actually a reasonably nice fellow if you speak to him. He is also correct when he says that From's anticheat measures are worse than worthless. The funny part is that he was never the best hacker in terms of technical skill, he got his notoriety through sheer determination to get his desired targets and showmanship. It's impressive in its own way. There are a couple of people who know way more, but they just don't show themselves as much. Tallgeese fucked around with this message at 09:28 on May 11, 2020 |

Like I get that it is PC and FROM/Bandai don't have a clue, and execs probably just want to chase whatever new hotness with microtransactions and what every 13 year old in the world plays anyway. But even so.

The multiplayer component has always been weirdly vestigial. It's arguably a defining trait of the Souls games as games, but FROM has never been willing to commit to anything more than a token implementation of the kinds of rigorous safeguards needed to ensure an enjoyable multiplayer experience.

I'm not sure it's a lack of commitment. It feels more like a lack of knowledge. Never forget that these are the dudes who said Dark Souls 2 used dedicated servers for connections between players.

One thing I recall before Dark Souls is how the action RPG genre had an identity crisis. Before Dark Souls ARPGs were essentially middling action games where you can also level up your character.

Ive been replaying Demon's Souls and it owns bones. But it's kinda funny comparing the experience versus how I played the game when it was relatively new. Now I play the game like developers originally intended (exploring, choosing which stats to focus on, upgrading different weapons to exploit weaknesses etc) but way back I had no idea what I was doing and sorta tried to play it like a JRPG where numbers go up by grinding a lot.
