Since you can only invade players in co-op now all thoughts of honorable PvP is out the window for me. I'm going to use every rear end in a top hat tool at my disposal, pester people at range, get in their way in dungeons, in general just be a gigantic nuisance to even the odds.

Missing an extra 4 stats or whatever is rarely going to make the difference in PvP. Unless the killing blow hits for exactly your/your opponent’s max HP, most combat involves significant overkill

Since invasions of random people are tied to invading players in coop, I'm pretty sure there will be a covenant for people who do want 1vs1 pvp duels. I'm not that person, and I probably won't play cooperatively, so I don't care. I almost always use levels to get dump stats to a nice round number anyways, so wretch's even 10 across the board is perfect for me. Elden week is upon us! We can do it. Less that 4 days for most of us. Still no idea yet if it's actually a midnight release regardless of timezone, or global launch at the same time though.

The truly hosed up thing is that you'll never be able to take the remaining 0.910 hours of paid time off, nasty little man. ...or can you??

gently caress a wretch. Also the PS5 controller is easily one of the most premium controllers I’ve ever used. Proper weight, buttons feel great and the haptic poo poo is so loving good. It crushes any other controller on the market. Don’t listen to people who turn rumble and haptics off - they are fringe AF.

great now i’m reconsidering wretch, because i love PvP at launch for these games. i didn’t think about the stats!!!! back to the drawing board. i still legitimately have no idea what i want to spec into. magic and swords seems fun. giant swords seem fun. flails seem fun. wait what about… flails with magic????

I have a dualsense but once some community configs come out I'll probably play on my Steam Controller  I really like the back paddle buttons for switching between weapons/items on the hot bar, and gyro aiming assist for archery is great

Phobophilia posted:I ran the numbers earlier today, and Wretch has fewer points total than everyone else. Everyone has the total number of points plus the starting levels from 1+. I also did the math, and this is incorrect.  Wretch has 80 total points at level 1. I'll just pick one example, since it's the same for all other classes: Confessor has 10+13+10+12+12+9+14+9=89 points at level 10, which is 9 level ups, so the 9 extra points that he should have. No reason not to pick wretch. The only reason wretch might be considered a "suboptimal" pick, is if arcane is the dump stat you want to avoid at all costs, then the optimal pick is probably vagabond. But we don't yet know, there might be really cool and interesting gear that scales with arcane. Edit: In hindsight maybe that wasn't what you were saying at all and I misunderstood you and made a fool of myself. In any case, first few levels are cheap and there's reason to believe that the average Oenis fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Feb 21, 2022 |

I’m going Vagabond and unequipping everything except either the long sword or halberd immediately after the opening cutscene then living off the land. I’ll probably replace the starting weapon with something that combos or a big weapon first thing I find to get that wretched feel

I remember when I used to think the original playstation controller was the best and couldn't be topped. Xbone controller kills anything Sony has or maybe ever will produce. Any suggestion otherwise is brand favoritism. Personally though I plan to play ER with my old Microsoft Sidewinder

I know it isn't a fair comparison (more than double the price of basically anything else, after all) but after using the Xbox Elite 2 for a couple years now... yeah, it's the best controller I've ever had in my hands. Also in fairness I've only played two PS5 games so maybe the haptics are more impressive in others?

Re: summoning NPCs, is there a stat that influences that or are summons more like weapons and they're improved by "upgrading" them e.g. Summon dogs +1. I don't know if this is getting into spoiler territory so feel free to spoiler tag your reply.

I fully expect that respeccing will be a thing in this but I'm still agonizing over whether I want to go for a Str/Dex generalist build or go for the spellblade-type magic user I often gravitate towards because I also fully expect that upgrade materials are going to be the real bottleneck rather than stats. I'd hate to spend a bunch of upgrade materials on sorcery stuff only to find that it's boring or really weak/limiting.

I'll tell you the secret of Dark Souls and the math behind The One That Is Naked And Starts At A Lower Level. Are you ready? Here we go: It doesn't actually matter, because you will always catch up before the first real boss unless you know exactly what you are doing and beeline, because the nature of level scaling means those first few levels are super cheap and will come fast. Further, you will invariably run into a vendor relatively quickly that will sell you a bunch of armor kind of cheap, assuming you haven't managed to scrounge up some gear before then. At that point the difference between that and having started with another class is gone. Don't worry about numbers and always pick the class that looks coolest to you.

Huh, so it did wind up coming out at 10:00 Friday here and I'll be at work. I also coincidentally, without objection, did a bunch of extra hours today I'll have to take off. I assure you these two things are not linked and my time off Friday is total happenstance.
