If there's one thing I've learned about PvP these past few days is that if you don't have a bigass 2hander just don't even waste your time. Everyone is packing a bigass 2hander, just hyperarmor your way to an easy win!

Scimitar will run in, hit you, and get out of reach again between 2h swings, while spamming LB to wiggle and taunt.

So I need to farm these after joining the covenant.

Either farm them in Catacombs of Carthus or get a friend to go purp and summon them via red soap stone.

Respeccing and changing looks is ok, just don't hand in a tongue for the covenant.

Uh, Storm Ruler (Yhorm sword) does not charge. I followed instructions and it doesn't charge. It does a spinny attack with L2. What gives?

If it spins you are using the Storm Curved Sword https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7fo_ScTLWM&t=81s
You want the Storm Ruler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_19JPX7p14o&t=126s

On the one hand it seems profoundly unlikely that Mescal has suddenly plowed ahead far enough to beat the nameless king, chosen to transpose his soul into that sword, and still gotten the two confused.

Just checked his posts in this thread, and yes, that does seem extremely unlikely now. I'm stumped, we need videos or screenshots.

DS3 version works everywhere, the Weapon Art consumes FP but doesn't seem to actually require it. You can use the WA even after you've run out of FP.

e: oh no I burned a bone shard at firelink shrine, thinking it would reinforce my estus like the bone dust in 2, but now the bonfire level is 2. Did I just burn a DS2 bonfire ascetic equivalent? lmao

Bones Hard make your Estus heal more, so you're good

Ugh.. Farron woods full of sl30 peeps using gear from the ringed city. People really need to chill the gently caress out. My dinky pyromancer is playing for fun, I just want a gank or two against someone picking on crabs. Meanwhile some twink speced perfect for PvP is using password connection to pass down gear from the end game. Calm the gently caress down, dood.

As one of those SL30 twinks the best tip I can give you is to not run at the first person you see and attack blindly. Wait a bit and observe first,
Are all of the enemies dead? Chances are it's a fight club, just BC out. Are the two Exiles at the ladder still alive? Good chance for a solo host coming down from Halfway Fortress.

And Tyler Too! posted:

Something about Road of Sacrifices is twink city. It sucks if you're trying to grind out 10 swordgrass for the Old Wolf curved sword (which is very good) because you are almost never going to get a fair fight. It's always some rear end in a top hat with all statrings and endgame weapons.

The lack of vErTiCaLiTy makes Woods a good fightclub area. Luckily swordgrass is easily farmed from the Keep Ruins bonfire.

Which do you all prefer to fight?

Laserbeamguy is way easier to fight, his Super goes in one direction. The Fuckoffmeteorguy is all over the place with his Super. Although I can never remember which to kill first to get Laserguy.

Got most of the rest of the covenants done. Except Farron.

Farron is one of the easier ones to grind solo. Keep Ruins bonfire, pop a coin, fight the 3 Ghrus, back to bonfire. Rinse, repeat.

Reading the DS3 reddit, it appears that there are some nasty hacks going on. Has anyone successfully used the Blue Sentinel mod? I wanna protect myself but I don't wanna get in trouble. I have modded plenty of games before, but never dark souls. It feels like something sacred to me, and therefore I don't touch it. If it saves me from random shitlords, though...

Blue Sentinels is fine, been using it since 04/2021 without any issues. Also you can skip the intro logos with it as a bonus.

It was actual praise for the hitboxes. My swing made me duck under his swing. Other games would've counted that as a hit for him.

Do people usually have an ashen flask or two as a melee character just for the weapon arts?

A Caestus with Simple infusion will slowly regenerate FP over time when equipped, it helps during those long drawn out invasions.

I suppose if an invader feels free to disrupt my PvE experience I should feel free to disrupt their PvP experience by not fighting back.

Invaders are part of PvE as far as I'm concerned. If you don't want to be disrupted by some rude invader don't ember or stay offline. Not fighting back is still miles better than disconnecting though.

I thought you couldn't play online with mods or you get banned? Or is that hilariously outdated info?

A lot of the QoL mods like Blue Sentinels, Honest Merchant, Wex Dust, etc, are done via modloader/.dll, they're safe to use online.

1) copy HonestMerchant.dll and honestMerchant.ini into the same folder as DarkSoulsIII.exe
2) rename HonestMerchant.dll to dinput8.dll
2a) if you already have a dinput8 based mod, you can rename that file to
otherMod.dll and load it with Honest Merchant in the
honestMerchant.ini file by setting dll=otherMod.dll
3) enjoy

Once you start Dancer you are forced to beat Lorian first unless you want to get softlo--naa just kidding you can attempt Dancer at any point, doesn't break the rest of the progression. Hell even Lapp will still be there.
