I guess I'll have to have someone use that on me and see what happens when the no-stagger effect isn't some weird constantly-refreshing thing.

I finally gave up on UGS on my hollow herald faith guy last night. I was doing the alligator-dogs after Pontiff and I was able to clear the first with no problem but I hit a skill wall on the second for whatever reason. 15 deaths later I said gently caress it and respecced after making a lightning dark sword. The DPS is drastically better and the personal risk is so, so much lessened; I really don't know if there's an advantage to big slow weapons in PvE beyond looking cool, and going from 16.5 weight down to 4.5 enabled far more versatile fashion souls for the cool factor. Sequence breaking for a +8 lothric UGS before killing Vordt did trivialize a lot of the first three zones, but I'm fairly certain a Raw rear end (love that acronym) would have been just as overpowered for as much of the game.

lvl 30 with +2 equipment pyromancer here, I was invading in cathedral of the deep and didn't get a single kill after about twenty tries I guess invasions in DS3 are for pro-tier gamers only

I had one gesture left to grab on NG++ from Heysel, but when I got the bow the achievement didn't unlock (Xbox) and it's more frustrating than it should be seeing the percentage actually show 100% complete, but locked. Only achievements I have left to 100% the game is track down a few more +2 rings and finish this cycle for the third ending.

What are some sweet, sub-20 str 1h weapons that are also not awful in pvp? I would consider the Dark Sword excellent in pvp but nowhere near cool enough, while other weapons are perhaps too cool. I was thinking about a scythe, but the damage reduction if you hit with the handle concerns me

SciFiDownBeat posted:this is in fact the only news that this thread cares about It's actually not news, at least not new news. That's just a writeup of the same Kotaku info we already had. I'm still not entirely sure what the fuss is wrt Poise and PvP. PvP has always been about people finding ONE gimmick that works, then you never see anything else until someone finds a counter for it, then the next gimmick comes along and it repeats ad nauseum. So now the gimmick is "spam R1 with a straight sword". Eventually it will be something else. Plus we still haven't had a "big" balance patch yet, and that has been part and parcel for every previous game.

I hate when I'm sunbroing for dancer and the host decides to summon other phantoms aside from me. The extra health added to her from 2 players to 3 players makes her so much more annoying. In other news, DS3 has broken my practice of trying to summon phantoms for all boss fights, beat Aldrich and Dancer solo in just a few tries  (Also it's DeS>BB>DS1=DS2=DS3) Edit: Is Blood infusion worthwhile? My Washing Pole seems to do better with Rouge and a damage infusion.

Yeah, Blood infusion is bad. If you want bleed, you're leveling Luck, and you're going to get much better bleeding results from buffing a Hollow weapon with Carthus Rouge than you ever would for using a Blood weapon.

DkS3 is a Real Good Game but I kinda want them to let it rest and focus on a new thing whilst also making a new Bloodborne that stands on its own more. Is anyone else have a really loving hard time getting a grasp of the lore in this game? I feel like in DkS1, 2 and Bloodborne I grew to understand the different lands I was in and their inhabitants and how they reacted to the various curses and such. DkS3 so far in 1.5 playthroughs is really lacking in that regard and kinda like Demon's Souls just feels like a collection of levels.

Since Bloodborne was the result of Miyazaki wanting to go in a different direction, a new IP definitely has me excited. e:sp

Yeah, what I want most is a new action-RPG from them that takes the Souls formula in a different direction like Bloodborne does--not necessarily the same direction, just a different one. I'm sure they're going to take a break from Souls-ish action-RPGs for a game or two, but I'm equally sure they'll make another one some day.

Your wish is already granted, From has said repeatedly since DS3 was announced that it was the last DS. I feel a little bit disappointed, though. I understand call backs and things are cool and neat for the last game in a series, but I kind of wish they had just taken it to a completely different locale with different location names and junk. I'm still enjoying the heck out of the game, I'm just tired of hearing about Vinheim and seeing Andre I guess. Might be uneasy considering DS2, it always gave me the impression that Anor Londo and Gwyn and poo poo were long dead. And yeah yeah, I know, time fuckery.

My take on the lore (especially after seeing a video of the link the flame ending - just compare those sad little flames to the immolation of the DS 1 fire ending.) is that this is the last cycle. Previously the flame was fed by the Lord souls and the soul of the person who gathered them. By the time of DS 3 - everyone's soul has gone to feed the flame, except for the unkindled. They're the only people left with the spark to even attempt to link the fire again.

It felt right to circle back on some of the same place names and ideas, especially because we learned some more about what happened to them after DS1. And there were new places, too, and we got to see other societies' views on linking the Fire. It was pretty cool.

That's largely why the End of Fire ending is my favorite in DS3: it makes that more explicit, with a hopeful tone, too.

I like the Kilian Experience interpretation, that the Unkindled is basically playing fantasy parole officer trying to drag the previously successful Lords of Cinder back to link the flame when a dumb prince doesn't have the chutzpa to do it, it just turns out that by doing so you pretty much prove you have the chutzpa yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FsiX_xkjuQ
