Wish the DLC was coming sooner.
Do +1 rings disappear in NG++? Need to know if I should hunt them down before starting it.

Yes Sir!
So PvP seems to shift to ~120 now or what? Kept all my chars at ~90 for now but at least for Irithyll im getting less action in the last few days...

100, or 120. Either works. 120 is best for hybrid builds, however. I've been at 100 and there is no shortage of PvP, and I have a character at 120 as well.

It's been 120 for like 4 games. Everyone always underlevels their VIT and END. Not to mention the softcaps for DEX and STR.
Finally got around to making another one, should be more regular from now on
Simply beautiful.

I just reached there and I'm level 54. First thing I did in the game was level Vigor to 25 though, which I had by the second boss lol.
Leveling vigor to 25 is probably one of the first things you should do. It'll more than double your HP bar. After 25 you get diminishing returns, but below that you get huge gains.
15 vigor is really low. You should try to get that up a.s.a.p.

No. In ng++ you can get any ring you want. They are placed at different locations

This is just ridiculously gorgeous. Gives me Vagrant Story vibes.
Kick the shield?

Oh damn, guess I messed up on that.
Think I will call it quits. I have other games anyway, just got Star Fox and Uncharted comes out in a couple weeks. I'll restart DS3 later and go about my stats smarter.
I feel a little better at sucking now though, I'm sure a few of those bosses would have been a hell of a lot easier with double health, lol.

Shiiiit. Do you have a collection or series of these cataloged somewhere? Beautiful.
nvm found your site in your profile.

I just looked it up and apparently you need 5 of an item that are hard to come by.
You only need 1 of the item, but you can respec up to 5 times in a single New Game, so 5 items total to get every single respec.
You only need 1 and they aren't hard to get. You get one by killing someone in pvp with the covenant on. Also I'm pretty sure there's a couple you can pick up in the cathedral.
What level are you? Maybe you don't need to start over. If, for example, you start sun-broing for a bit, you can get enough to level pretty quickly. If you want to have an easier time then leveling is the way to go.

Yeah, I guess. I have low END but I don't think VIT seems very important - the flat defense boost seems to matter more than the encumbrance limit.
20 Vigor has been enough for the whole game for me, other than that I hit 40 STR/35 DEX. I guess I could put in points for more health and cap the dex.

Omg...;-) No wonder you are getting oneshotted by archers & knights. Get it up asap to 25-30...! Life will be easier...a lot ;-)
Anri straight sword with a Hollow Shield might be good for your damage then.
My second character is a FTH/DEX at lvl 75 and honestly, it feels about right, although it's more dedicated on weapon buffing.
I have 40 DEX (with the hunter ring) and 30 FTH. VIG is at 27, but honestly, from 27 to 40 there isn't that much difference. My first character is almost lvl 100 , with 40 VIT, and I can take the same hits from bosses, considering how hard they hit.
Only problem for some would be stamina, at only 18, but I'm too used on having low stamina, not having any problem with PvE or PvP, but that's more just me.
At that level, I have instant coop from A
till the final boss. And fight clubs are populated. Same thing happened with DS2 really, you got PvP in all ranges.
Btw, it wasn't always 120. DS1 was first 100, then bumpled. DS2 was 150. BB had a lot of disparity between 100 and 120 but honestly the PvP scene wasn't that big there. 120 was more about having enough vit for Chalice Depth 5 runs, not for PvP. 100 feels like the sweet spot to me but I don't really care much if it's 120.

It took me so long just to defeat the 2nd boss. No idea how I am going to manage with the harder ones!
Thanks for the tip. The weapon itself actually has to be equipped in hand to make it boost the stat.
The shield thing though helps. I tested it by using my remaining hollow gem and infused a decent shield. It boosts luck a few points, and also upgrading the shield will increase the amount it boosts luck as well.
Reading couple of the last thread on this page did they actually broke the game on PS4?
Had fun yesterday evening equipping Way of the Blue emblem and using Dried Finger. Managed to summon in 5 Blue Phantoms before dying. Most of the time they were too late though and the invader had usually died before the blue spawned in. Hopefully those guys got their Proofs.

Man, I thought Farron Keep would give me more trouble but it was pretty straightforward and easy to reach Bonfires.
I am rocking this baby with +2
http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Red+Hilted+Halberd
Should I infuse it or wait for another good one to pop up? Will there be one soon? Have yet to try a weapon that is more fun and suits me more.

So are
bugged or what? I don't seem to get summoned to any of them, no matter where I am or how long I wait. In contrast, I can get summoned for
in a matter of seconds..
Other than that, invasions are amazingly fun, and I'm having a blast of a time protecting the good ol' place.
Had a good 10 minute long hide-and-seek game in the
yesterday. Went through 2 Blue Sentinels trying to just find the invader who kept running and disappearing and losing the sight of us. The joke was on him though, since I had some Seeds of Giants.
Having an invader to kill most of the enemies in the zone was fun.

Yep its something such as you cant trade upgrade materials, magic, covenant materials, +1 or +2 rings unless the person has them already.
Ah okay, thanks.

So, I fired up Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin tonight since I bought it on sale awhile back for $20 bones and never touched it and I gotta say going from Dark Souls III to Dark Souls II is like the equivalent of slamming your car into reverse while going 80mph. It is crazy how different both games feel.

I decided knight life is too easy for me after beating it once and restarting as a knight.
Gonna go Sorc life. and my question is, what stats aside from INT and ATTUNE should I worry about?

(Late game location spoiler) How the hell did this bloodstain get up there?
Is there another path you can take after you ring the bell in this area?

Yes. You'll see.

If you're talking about the boss in that area then I've already beaten it, it's my second playthrough.

Awesome stuff. I gave up on my SL1 blind playthrough so early (Cathedral of Deep) - I just needed to get on play the game it was taking so long. For BB I got to Wet Nurse before giving it a rest.
I fear for my future SL1 run because of how locked off upgrade materials are. The game is so linear, I want to get OP asap for these runs!
