Half of them happened right before the boss died, does the host get more runes if they get the kill while solo?

welp this is a hell of a lot of coincidences if the hosts aren't doing it on purpose. Just got another connection error as the boss was in its death animation.

I'm on PC wired connection, and it's been awful. Hours of wasted time. Gonna drop coop farming for a while.

I'm level 83 with 3 great runes at 65 hours. And I feel like I'm maybe halfway done.

echoing others' hopes that Fromsoft spends some time balancing damage overall. I think I've got a handle on the overall threat level of an area then some dude pulls out a triple crossbow and chunks me for 1000+hp.

The capital is wild, I've got 6 different directions I need to explore

finding the abandoned roundtable hold was a cool moment

I picked bandit because I thought for sure this would be the Fromsoft game that I make daggers work. Then I found parryable bosses force you to do multiple parries before you can get a stab in, and daggers don't really work in horseback combat, and stunlocking/stance breaking is easier, more fun to do, and works on dudes that can't be parried.

Tonight I explored a snow castle and met a dual sword spinning teleporting frost knight that broke the rules for how I understood enemies should function.

still can't get over the castle sol knight that senses your presence with his back turned, and if you shoot him from on top of a ladder he will literally teleport behind you.

i mean I killed the dude, it's just so stupidly anime

Gelmir Hero's Grave was a wonderful experience, thank you Fromsoft

it's really cool when the chariots suddenly decide to stop in front of your hiding place so your good timing for the next move just moves you right into the instadeath spikes

did a bunch of catacombs and hero graves and it sucked, then I fought a bunch of field bosses and it was awesome. Elden Ring.

Bed of Chaos was cool but it would have been cooler as an actual fight

Rykard was a cool fight, no idea how to dodge that arena filling attack in the second phase though.

bees x1000
Jun 11, 2020

I tried that but I was up against the edge of the arena already. Rolling and tanking with a bunch of resist gear got me through it.

welp I might not be MLG enough to beat Alecto

she has stupid HP/I'm not dealing enough with my +22 polearm. I've gotten her <20%, it's just a marathon fight

allimsayin is that, as an observant gamer and a Christian Family Man, it's probably not a coincidence that the coop sign in a fromsoft game looks like the coop sign from a different fromsoft game

having a running battle in the sewers against those sword/axe wielding troll things, surroundings lit by my lantern and their yellowblack fire, I am reminded again that this game is pretty cool

bees x1000
Jun 11, 2020

I am now MLG enough to beat Alecto. Running away and getting big attacks in when she charges/jumps was the ticket.

also I seriously need to consider unbinding crouch for boss fights, I misclick L3 all the drat time

I got the hang of ER parrying but when bosses started making me do it multiple times for a single counter I dropped it fast.

New 'talk to' options at graces should be at the top of the list and/or highlighted, IMO. Extremely easy to miss as it is now.

so what the hell is up with the unnamed ruin south of windmill village with the surprise blade lion

imo she should automatically materialize at a grace point if there's an option to talk with her there

yes this is a good solution

I was missing R2's a lot but that might be my controller, I fixed it by adjusting sensitivity settings.

Having NPC allies in general is one of my Favorite Video Game Things so I'm all for Palicos in Fromsoft games.

well I thought I'd try coop to at least see Melania's second phase but the dude I summoned had some overtuned build that wasted her. Even whipped out two triple crossbows with bleed bolts during her big aoe dive. She is dead, but I have not earned a seat at the roundtable of true gamers.

Just arrived in tornado town.

Guard countering is so easy and effective I'm wondering why Fromsoft left it in as is.
