Xenolalia posted:okay, weird solution, but I hadn't been summoned as Darkmoon the whole game but suddenly I'm just waiting in Dragon Peak I've received 5 in a row. I was trying to learn PvP and invasions the past two nights (Lvl 89), but was getting drowned in darkmoon counter-invasions in the catacombs and Champ Gung. Final area is probably a safe bet too. Instead I shall remain bad at PvP and just co-op/PvE.

Nuebot posted:Wow at 50STR and 18DEX the Fume UGS and Black Knight UGS do the same damage. The Black Knight weapon, however, has a way better move set and is faster. Desire to BKUGS intensifying! The FUGS is horrible for PvP because of that slow predictable moveset, but pretty good for Sunbroing when there are other guys to distract while you charge R2 to stun some bitches. I've been toying with other STR weapons on that character.

Is there an infinite loading screen bug if you're summoned? Stuck in a loop watching item description cards go by and figuring they didn't code a time-out function if the summon does indeed fail after fading to black.

Started a Pyro and have been sunbroing for Tree Nuts and Big Hat Sage. Tonight I twice encountered the bug where the Sage was unkillable. Both times I'm pretty sure it happened because the real one dipped out when there were illusions still on the field, and the illusions didn't despawn.

Still messing around with a Pyro for my second character. So, does messing around with the dark sign mean you have to spend all game looking like dusty beef jerky? I'm using a guide because I'm weak, btw.

I'd just like to say that being a Sunbro for a caster is horrible and I don't recommend it. "No, no. It's fine. I'll just do everything while you stand so far away from the boss that your little soul arrows all miss by planetary trajectory margins."

Somehow beat the game as a lvl80 Pyro. 21Vit, 30/30 Int/Fth, scattered other stats. My Chaos Hand Axe+9 was 100% garbage in the last fight sadly. Not that the 80 part is some challenge, just people in here kept saying it was an average cut-off for the covenants in NG. The goddamn fire/dark clutch rings were needed depending on Chaos/Dark orbs, and the damage amp to you really sucked the entire time. Also, the debuff countdowns that kept appearing after travels/respawns went away when I put the Fleshbite Ring in the item box. I took it back out, but they still haven't returned -yet-.

If you happen to give a certain NPC an item that is said to drive that NPC crazy, I have good news. Just ignore the items in the shop and proceed accordingly, the NPC returns the tome(s?) to you so that you can give it to the correct NPC later. Currently sitting quietly at the Kiln and wondering if I'll get a bluecop summon ever at level 80. Spoiler: already know I won't.

Am I reading this right that my L35/+6 can invade up to L55/+9 weapon? Also I'm terrible at PvP and am still amazed at how often people have "connection issues" if they're losing or outnumbered, or tired of sitting next to the bonfire because I put my controller down to watch Netflix on my other monitor.

Well I got my 30 vertebrae being a purple pussy in the swamps (L35/+6weapon). I am terrible and that took forever. Things learned: You can invade the upper swamp while they're pretty much on the ladder down or in the lower swamp. Also this is the best time to use the sleep emote, pop up the UI so you can go to your other monitor without alt-tab and wait for them to run out of regen and moss in a giant poison swamp. You can't Way of the Blue invade into some magical new color combo, you just red invade for tongues. But I guess not everyone knows to use a torch in the graveyard to the Cathedral, so you just annoy people while they bleed to death chasing after you.

Harrow posted:So the King of the Storm's fly-up-and-breathe-fire move is undodgeable, right? The animation is really distinct and the tail hangs vertical without swaying. So If you see the tail straight down and feather-whatevers doing a fan flap, just sprint away so the tail stays in the middle of your screen and it should miss. Then as soon as it ends, you can probably run back and get a whack in around landing.

Azazell0 posted:I wonder how many people actually buy DS3 for PVP. I sure didn't. I didn't either, but I still spent the past few gaming sessions as an invader anyway. It's fun once you embrace that you'll lose most of the time, but can be a total dick for a few minutes. Or you can practice parrying and die really fast to whiffs. Alternatively I used a Giant Seed on one invader and found a crappy hiding place. He ran around for 10-15 minutes clearing the upper swamp for me while I just sat in the sleep position not moving and watching the health bars around the map. I think that guy ran right by me actually. However now I'm really frustrated with lag and watching myself get hit from 2-3 sword lengths away. Szcwczuk posted:So was I, I'm just saying if they play online they should expect and have fun with invaders not just hide at the bonfire. If I get invaded I often get upset but I still try fight my invaders 1v1 if I die my host can have a shot at him. 60% of people I invade will never leave the bonfire and that means they can chain summon their buddy over and over I wont fight there.

Well I've taken my level 40/Weap+6 (meant to be 35, but I screwed up Yoel/Yuria and took 5 more that I probably needed) character to Nameless King and Cinder somehow. Haven't bothered with either yet--too scary. Hardest bosses so far: Dragon Armoire, Hawkboner the Truest Dragonkin, and generic Lothric Knights. Cheated on: Dancer Needed to +3 my Ithyrial sword for Armoire, otherwise used a Fire Longsword+6 and a Dark Sword+6 for 99% of the time. Got my 30 vertebrae L35-L40/+6 in the swamp, and just got 3 quick summons (one of which connection failed) for Aldritch as soon as I wandered into Anor Londo. Though someone earlier said they were getting quick hits at L65/+? too. Oh, and I ran around for most of the past 2 days with Watchdogs on and got maybe 2 summons the entire time E: Kild posted:https://twitter.com/JKartje/status/727205465852006400

I can't tell if it's lag or if Aldritch changes his attack pattern during co-op. Probably lag: whirlpool appearing in one spot, 1-2 second delay, he pops up anywhere else, totally ignoring the usual pattern of corner to corner. Not sure if lag: He casts whirlpool, but instead snakes around or slams down with his scythe at the normal point when he'd hop down his little transdimensional wormhole. It's rather abrupt and really punishes trying to get in 2-3 more hits before the port.

The Humble Monthly reminded me I still hadn't played either DLC episode. So I fired it up on my new motherboard/CPU to find that the game deleted all of my saves. The saves were there a few days before on the old hardware, but on launch it decided to wipe them and overwrite the file immediately. Thanks, bro. No, I didn't format the drive, I swapped the guts, plugged everything back in and Win10 was all sunshine and rainbows (which terrified me in its own way). SO! Now I'm starting all over with an AGI character instead of my usual STR+greatsword. Having not played in 1-2 years I'm atrocious with memories of being able to time a parry... it's quite frustrating. Also I don't like the playstyle of AGI builds very much I'm realizing. But I'm up to Santa's Village and will eventually get to the Pontiff. On that note, I am so not looking forward to relearning the timing on that parry. gently caress

I spent the evening being a Sunbro for that fight. Before I finally got around to murdering him in his crib because I spent a metric John Goodman of souls overleveling with my bounty. It's the same story as most bosses: the hard part is learning which animation leads to what attack when getting hit does 40%+ damage to you. Oh and not being greedy when the whirlpool AoE signals. The little homing blips mostly punish you for healing (or standing still and wondering why the hell the host player is still doing absolutely nothing after you dodged and baited all of the attacks for 1-2 minutes straight).

Tarezax posted:Yes. It will make you stand up automatically when you're getting invaded. Well that's really annoying. The last invader, like almost all of them, had serious lag. Roughly minimum half-second delay between any hits registering. And he got a parry while I was tapping a rapier R1 in his face between the 3rd and 4th face stab that he was reeling back from until the sudden moment I was being counter-stabbed dead. I like messages on the floor, but I'm sorely close to playing in offline mode to avoid this poo poo. E: Kite Pride Worldwide posted:No. Sitting at a bonfire makes you immune to invasions after an early patch. The only thing that should kick you out of a bonfire menu is if an enemy gets too close. You can also get kicked out if the invasion starts JUST as you're sitting down, and before the sitting protection is applied, though. This is more what I figured. And it would explain the awful lag.
