Harrow posted:Oh yeah, it's always been like that, I just don't really see the point of it I guess. It bothers me in every one of these games, though I think it bothers me here and in Bloodborne the most. Elden Ring and Bloodborne both have a lot of weapons that are pretty unique (in Bloodborne they're almost all completely unique because there are much fewer) and so it stings more when you find something new and you can't use it because of resource scarcity even if it fits your build. I think the only big benefit is it probably remains the best way to filter the MP aspects; by weapon range. I know a lot of people never invade or co-op at all but because of how damage works I’m not sure there’s a better way to keep PvP at least marginally fair.

Macaluso posted:As far as I can tell, the summons aren't actually infinite. I tried the strategy of just running around letting the summons do the work but eventually the summons stopped coming back. This possibly very late but Hoarfrost stomp completely clowns him (along with everything else). Get that, stomp him and hope for good RNG where he goes rampaging somewhere else than your direction for a little while and you'll get it. That's how it went for me, was stuck there for hours last night and today earlier. Granted, it's very dangerous so close to him as a squishy caster, but it still was more effective than using spells at range (unless you have enough to spam Greatbow)

Anyone know where I can farm smithing stone 3 ? I feel like I have no problem finding Ss 4 and 5, but 3 is so rare I can’t get past 8 on my weapon. There must have been a tunnel I missed or something.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:It’s ironic in the game where they made items so easy to get I use them the least yeah. I mostly keep the square button “clean” for only potions, I keep usable items on the Triangle shortcut though. Triangle up is horse, left is ash summon, right and down are usually pots or buffs that I switch out depending on boss - but very rarely remember to switch out. I put my flasks on my quick slots so I don't need to cycle to them in the item select just hold triangle (or y) and hit left or right. Also did that with the horse summon, and my favorite summon on the 4th slot. I can't imagine ever wanting to play with my heals buried in a list I have to cycle through again.

Bloody Slash is OP and lol if you hit two bosses at once with it. I normally hate 2 boss battles because they stuff you in a small room and make u feel compelled to summon. For some reason, maybe invasion? wouldnt let me summon jellyfish, but the gargoyles room is so large you can take down first gargoyle before second one becomes too much of a hassle.

So much better than the one-way rotation for X (or square)

Gargoyle fight is hosed up, I had it once bug out on me where the gargoyle never comes down. Just summoned by two diff people to help them and the had same glitch.roomtone posted:why do people say bleed 'procs' I started typing an answer confident I knew but then... no, realzied I had just been saying it since WoW came out. Looked it up and kind of interesting: quote:Proc was originally short for "spec_proc" (spec_proc is short for "special process"[1]) which is a term used by the original programmer of Circle-MUD, Jeremy Elson. It might have been used by the original programmers of diku-MUD as well. Special processes in Circle-MUD are functions that can be assigned to objects, players, and locations in the world such that each time an event occurs, the special process function will be invoked. Special processes were used in Circle-MUD for a wide variety of purposes: Creating room events when a person typed a specific string of text, causing a weapon or piece of armor to perform a magical action, and even causing a mob to do something that it wouldn't normally do.[2] some old MUD term carried into the modern age somehow, neat!

Wish summoning other players wasnt such a dice roll. 90% of the time it's just some normie who gets pasted in 10 second and now the boss has twice as much health. Distinct lack of clear signs someone knows what they are doing such as being completely naked

It's smarter and stronger than most real players I think I remember someone saying it doesnt use FP so if you have some mega spell or ability equipped it can use it more often. Or maybe a bleed buildup or something?

I know a lot of people never invade or co-op at all but because of how damage works I’m not sure there’s a better way to keep PvP at least marginally fair. If there weren't weapon upgrades it could really just go purely by level, though. It used to, back in Demon's Souls and DS1 (though I think DS1 Remastered added weapon levels to the formula), and people would stay at a low level but upgrade weapons super high to be way too strong for their level range. Now weapon upgrade levels are factored in, which is good, but if there wasn't weapon upgrading at all then they could go back to just having it go by player level.

TwoHeadedDeer posted:is mimic tear worth is for ranged chars? or should I stick with my headless shield man Assuming you mean magic, it's equally insane if not moreso since you can fill your spell loadout with all the crazy poo poo that's too unsafe or inefficient for you to use and the mimic will spam all of it. Assuming you mean archery, no idea

In hindsight this game was like 98% awesome so I'm going to suffer through the last two optional bosses then put that poo poo behind me. With the good rune farming method unlocked and like 12 respecs I'm pretty much good for... everything. I'll go into NG+ with my stupidly overleveled god for the third ending. In terms of a new run, all that I really need out of it is a non-Ranni ending. Aside from melee I want to focus on all the sidequests and trying to do stuff at-level. Reading about how many quests there were that I missed by blindly stabbing out in a direction made me want to make all these people

TwoHeadedDeer posted:is mimic tear worth is for ranged chars? or should I stick with my headless shield man it's worth it for any character, it copies your exact load out including items etc. since it might have infinite fp (haven't tested, but it never seems to run out), it might be even better for casters.

Man, the dragon incantations are super cool but they are crazy FP expensive. Also got quite the slow windup. They melt HP bars though. Undecided on if I'm gonna stick with this though. Those Beastial Incantations all look fast and cheap and you get a thing to scale stuff on Strength which is neat... Dunno why it took nearly 50 hours for the build indecision to kick in, usually I'm indecisive at the start.

I've given up on more Elden Ring bosses than I have in every other SoulsBorne game. Literally the only one I flat out refused to do was the twin cats boss of Frigid Outskirts and that was down more to the level if anything. Fully Grown Fallingstar Beast is such a whore to do with a longsword+15. I'll come back later at level 90+, I really can't be arsed with his horseshit currently. I tried being summoned and it made him even worse.

pentyne posted:Can you get bleed and frost on a single weapon or its it split across both. You can get both on one though I think you wouldn't be able to buff it with a grease if you did. For example, if you put a cold infusion on an Uchigatana, it'll have both bleed and frostbite on it, though less bleed than it would normally have.
