Just blasted through DS2 NG+ in the last few days to get ready :2bong: Sat on the seat to perpetuate the cycle. Any word if the kb+m controls are similar to DS2's? I was fine with those, though they were less than ideal.

I honestly don't get how you can play with a mouse since my problem with it was that there aren't enough buttons on it. If you have one of those fancy mouses with more than 3 buttons that's not an issue but with a regular one it seemed impossible.

Shift and control hotkey with m1 and m2, but yeah its super annoying. Half the time I'd reach over to my arrow keys to swap stuff which has gotten me killed a non-zero amount of times :v:

Any reports on how the co-op/PVP works?

In my experience out of 10 or so invasions, all of them at 2 or more white phantoms, 2 or 3 of them had wonky lag with extendoblades that went about twice as far as they should have, and then one where I couldnt even see the guys invaded and they were cutting me the gently caress up.

Fun fact! You're not a pal. Its a red sign soapstone basically, only NPCs attack you. Would not recommend.

The mound makers covenant is a really cool idea with one major issue keeping it from working in practice: there's no reason for a purple phantom to help the host. In theory, purple phantoms are a mixed bag that can help the host or murder him, act as a white or red phantom, etc. However, the purple phantom gets covenant rewards only for killing the host or killing white/blue phantoms, and gets no benefit for killing regular enemies or even red or other purple phantoms. They also cannot enter fog gates, so they cannot help fight bosses (which would almost negate the purpose anyway since 90% of non-japanese players summon only for boss fights and not full area runs) or do the obvious-but-still-funny thing of killing the host just before they defeat the boss.

In practice it's just a different, albeit cooler, color to take on for invasions, with the added benefit that some players might summon you on their own because they don't know what a purple phantom is or don't realize that you aren't rewarded for doing anything but killing them.

I Believe the benefit to sign invading as a ABSOLUTE MADMAN is that at most itll be a 1v2, since you eat up a friendly phantom slot.


E: Also I got the BREAKDANCE SWORD and it is absolutely :pcgaming:

This is a benefit to purple invaders trying to kill the host, not to ones who want to help them.

Then yes, you have a fair point about not being able to help on bosses. Also summoning randomly on the map (so it seems, ive only sign invaded once) its bupkis.

somewhat related, I got dual scimitars and they punish the gently caress out of people who hide behind shields. I just cut them up through their shield until their stamina breaks, then I continue to flay them. Its loving awesome. Also the attack on it is about 270 degrees, which allows you to kill murder people behind you! Fun stuff

The difference is, according to my friend who did the same as you, you get a new NPC in return and I don't.

Also I was having problems with summoning failing in front of the giant skeleton boss. Is that normal or was I just getting unlucky.

The problem there is that there are MANY people trying to beat him and not enough summons to help. If you put down a sign youll get pulled in before you're done standing up.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I figure asking in the thread for the most recent game makes the most sense. Which Souls game is the best for a beginner to start with? I know they're all difficult, but I would think some are considered better starting points than others. Again, apologies if this isn't the right place to ask.

I find DS2 to be pretty easy compared to this one. cant speak for SotFS though

Man ranged weapons are pretty scarce early on.

What's the ideal way to take down Treeballs? I've been phantoming him for a few hours but the host usually dies before we managed to take him down. It just feels like you rarely have a safe time to go in and strike.

Fun fact, in phase one pretty much every time is a safe time to strike

From what I've seen, at 70% you start fat rolling, and from there down its all the same roll, just a little snappier and with more distance.
