I really love it when I'm invading and the host has the bug where they're locked in the idle animation so you can't see any of their swings or rolls.

So the Player Vs Player multiplayer is insanely bad and they walked back every improvement from DS2 in favor of actually worse versions of the blood bourne systems right.

I stopped playing bloodborne because the pvp was so abysmal. This feels more like DS1 but with added cry babies because 90% of the people I've invaded have had at minimum 2 phantoms at all times and they just mash R1 and body you.

Lol. Going unarmed, waiting for people to attack you, parrying, and switching to a different weapon to follow up owns in pvp.

This is how I played my pugilist character in dark souls 2. Thinking about reviving him for 3 but with the way pvp is looking like it's panning out it might be terrible.

It's been aight for me but I'm still early on (only in the mid 30s), what's wrong with that gyfcat though?? Looks like the punching guy is getting some good staggering hits in and the shield guy isn't actively defending.

He put his shield up the split second before I kicked and parried him.

Hella man.

At firelink there will be a guy leaning against the big throne, he'll give you 5 cracked red orbs. He'll disappear until you get a tongue which can be found in undead settlement, cathedral or from sucessfully killing a host. Then he'll give you a key for the door at the bottom of the tower at the second bonfire on the wall. There's a darkwraith down it who drops the orb.

I do not like the Cathedral of the Deep, not one tiny loving bit. The whole outside zone is just one huge mob rush and this isn't loving Bloodborne, From, I don't have the toolset for this.

The thing I've noticed about enemies in DS3 is that they attack about 20 times more than the point where you think their animation has ended. DS1 they had animations, you learned to dodge them. In DS2 the enemies attacked *just* after the point where you think they're going to so it messes up your timing. DS3 is just WHARLBLARHARLGLARG and then a whirlwind of gently caress.

Man reading this bit on the wiki for the Mound Makers is kind of depressing

"Invading as a Mound Maker will prioritize worlds with many players, allowing for maximum chaos. (confirmed in Prima guide)"

That's different from any other invasion...how? I got the full red eye orb on my lv11 guy and man. Almost every single player has 2 summons babysitting them through the entire experience. Even when I get summoned with the white soapstone, you don't do enough damage to burn through the full amount of estus the host has.

e: oh yeah if you invade as a mound maker you have to kill 2 phantoms or the host as opposed to just 1. Good look trying to do that with the lag and animation bugs almost every fight :haw:

questions about rings:

Is there a Ring of the Living (one that makes you look normal as a phantom) and what does the Horsehoof ring do? Is it like a comical knockback kick or what?

This is from 4 pages back but the horsehoof ring lets you break the guard of greatshields and it works on npc's too like the lance knight assholes.

I'm completely lost in Irithyll Dungeon. I killed the giant and found Siegward through the window, but the shortcut takes me right back to the bonfire and I haven't found another way forward.

Go through the area at the very bottom with the 10 jailers.

Also separate question. Is there a ring that can disguise a phantom as a host? Because sometimes when I invade I see 2 hosts of embers and they don't have a phantom glow.

hahaha jesus christ. Just invaded a guy and he burned all of his estus, then spent the next 2+ minutes sprinting away from me, of which I could do nothing because if you try to attack someone who's sprinting you slow down just enough for them to get away. He ran all the way from the giant in the dungeon to the bonfire just to summon someone so he could beat me. loving aggravating. Also somehow he just kept chugging even though I know for sure he drank more than 11.

Unlrelated. I invaded a guy and he was stood there alone with full smough armour & hammer so I figure okay, let's loving game.

Then a second person walked out



Then a THIRD one walked out and slowly walked at me with their hammers held high.

I'm starting to feel that parrying is just not worth it - sure it looks cool but the penalty for failure is massive AND the chance of messing up is incredibly high. Doubly so in PVP.


Convince me of the merits of parrying because right now it feels like a detriment to my enjoyment of the game.

Parrying feels useless in pvp when it only does like <400 damage and the host can just roll away 5 times and heal up.

have you considered throwing an undead hunters talisman while they're on the ground after parrying? ty

Yes, quite a few times. It takes so long to throw that by the time they've gotten up and rolled away, you've probably missed. Then they run away till the debuff is gone. Oh yeah and for some reason they only let you carry 5 at at time :downs:

re: enemies attack chat. I just fought the Nameless King and man, phase 2 of that fight just feels completely unfair. He does a quick 2 hit combo which is fine, then he has an incredibly delayed strong attack which I saw him do 3 times in a loving row. I think only 1 of his attacks is actually punishable in that you can hit him more than once without eating half your HP to a spear.

I recall them changing that ring that made you half invisible and untargetable in DS1. But I can't remember how long it took them to do it. I really think they should change the poise because at least then it might add a little variety instead of the incredibly stale meta we have only 2 weeks since release.

Doesn't that have the potential to one shot people with a combo?

I invaded the guy 3 times, the first 2 he beat me and the 3rd a second sunbro invader came and I watched them fight. He did like nearly 900 damage with 1 L2 + R2 combo to the guy and he was on a sliver of HP afterwards.I Beat him after though.
