RBA Starblade posted:I feel like I did a lot of that lmao, it took hours to even be able to level up. I thought maybe runes were just rarer than souls I dunno, I'm level 20 and am on the 2nd boss in the big castle. I have about 6 hours and killed like 3 little cave bosses. I think I am gonna level up a bit more cause this guy is rough.

How early in the game can you get an ash of war that gives you Faith scaling on a weapon, out of curiosity?

In the entire Souls series 30-40 int/fth/str/dex was generally the "cap" at endgame and anything higher was tiny % changes. So as a new person it's a big handicap to be a glass cannon. You'll wreck things but they will easily destroy you. It's best to get your HP and Stamina up first then focus on what kinda of dmg stats you're going for. And yea, upgrading weapons will be more efficient early on.

IIRC this was no longer true specifically for Int and Faith in Dark Souls 3, or Arcane in Bloodborne. DS3 Int/Faith had significant scaling all the way up to 60, and in Bloodborne, Arcane scaling for spells would be meaningful all the way to 99. Not sure how it goes in Elden Ring but (very vague magic spoilers, no specifics) there's at least one sorcery that requires 70 Int to cast. That said the advice to level HP and Stamina first is good, especially because upgrading your weapons is always a much bigger boost in the early game than increasing your stats, but HP and Stamina are always valuable.

Damage is good but if you're dead you don't do damage. Get your hp and end to 20 at least (preferably higher for hp) and rely on the damage from 2handing weapons and upgrades. Scaling only gives you a few points on weapons with low or no upgrades.Strom Cuzewon posted:

I love how much more generous with stamina this game is. Wretch starting bars look like 🟥🟥🟥 🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 And then it regenerates with alacrity. And it seems like you can dash as long as you like when you are out of combat.

I used the wrong words there, hehe. 40 for soft cap, 60 even sharper and then 99 hard. It's a bit all over though in that range. https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/4m768y/psa_soft_caps_for_spell_scaling/ That spoiler is nuts though - wow, wonder what it'll be now.

So just in response to the people who have played a chunk and feel like "It's just a Souls game and I've seen it before," I think that's a fair take but I think the game also does itself a massive disservice by having its opening area being semi-generic. poo poo gets extremely hosed later on and while it's still very Souls, they definitely back loaded the new mobs and weird poo poo. Those with Shrine of Amana PTSD may want to quit while you're ahead, though.

Are the dung beetles this games crystal lizards? There's some that are red that replenish flasks but then apparently others have items? I let one poof cause it was white and I was like - I don't need flasks! I wonder if it respawns.  E: Apparently they do come back after resting. Probably reload too. Time to head back to that spot after work!! Vintersorg fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Feb 25, 2022 |

Christ Amighty somebody FINALLY loving implemented the perfect mount system! My god the way they've handled mounts in this game is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. It's a WoW-style mount with no cast time or cooldown. Effectively just a run speed and jump height enchant with a skin. It even has its own associated attack animations too! You can instantly and seamlessly go from a horse galloping to full on stealth sneaking with two button presses, and from sneaking to full on galloping on a horse with two button presses, and you don't even have to stop moving in your current direction. gently caress that's amazing. Finally somebody actually did it. Everybody who has ever said mounts are separate, living animals and therefore need to be separate objects you should have to keep track of, call, and that can get lost in the wild can go straight to hell. I don't even care that it has its own health pool because all it takes to "revive" is a health potion. Not a big enough deal to matter.

Scaling only gives you a few points on weapons with low or no upgrades. I meant the scaling thing. Because back in ds1 when all the weapons I found early on had D scaling I figured that meant id find better ones later on. As to the dying in two hits... I think sometimes the series reputation for being brutally hard works against it. It leads to people bashing their head against the graveyard skeles instead of climbing up to the undead burg. Or, in my mates case, spending hours punching the asylum demon to death.

So if I just wait 6 months for used copies of this game on Xbone to become cheap, still think that the graphics on that console are fine and don't care about frame rate beyond stuttering/freezing, am i good to just grab it on a discount? Even though I'm a graphic artist, I don't get too wrapped up in all the "performance" that a lot of people do and don't typically find the graphics between XBone, XBoneXBX and XboxMegaSuperHD-UltraX to be game changers that effect my enjoyment and, since my eyesight is shaky, really don't tend to notice...My TV is old but looks good enough to me. I kind of feel bad for PC gamers because I swear to god this performance/rig/specs blowback happens every loving time a new game comes out, seems needlessly complicated and a colossal pain in the rear end to deal with loving around with driver updates, conflicts and different SSD's or cards. I just want to load the disc, fire it up and have a good time for 2 hours if I can spare it. Also I'm broke, have a limited game cost/time budget and usually make it a habit to stay one generation behind to be frugal and hoover up used games. Yes I am  thanks for asking.I guess my question is, anyone playing the base PS4 or Xbone versions and having any trouble? I don't mind 30fps but will mind slowdown, pop in, freezes and poo poo like that. Load times don't bother me.
