matchmaking not working?

I'm waiting outside the boss area

me too...

Always takes me and my friends nigh on half an hour before we get connected. Little depressing, if it takes that long what's the point of a password? Just let me friggin invite people.

 

[Saint9806]

I'm curious how the first boss of the DLC will treat you. What level are you?

I'm Level 146. I am pretty sure it will be tough because I died at the first frenzy dude at least 8 times.

I guess my only complaint about the DLC is that they give us weapons on 0. What's the point of having cool weapons and knowing you can't use em because they are so weak on NG+ or better. It literally took me about 20 hits to kill normal mob enemies with the Beast Cutter.

its pretty broke. I've just left it playing in the background while I do other stuff. and I've only connected 1 in over 3 hours.

Pretty annoying right now since I'm now just sitting in front of an un fun boss fight.

Omg, the weapon

Now I just need a Blood Rock lol

yup. it's screwed right now. thanks for the offer, though. don't wanna keep you from doing other stuff

Yup. I was right in front of Amygdala on my NG+ for what seemed like weeks. Finally beat her solo, which felt great, but damn if I know how long I was just standing there waiting for any kind of help.

Its cool I'm stuck on laurance anyways so don't mind waiting lol

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Fuck this DLC isn't screwing around. To whomever's game I joined. I tripped that gun...

Could use some help if you guys are willing. Not NG+ but level 81 to try and get through this. I'll keep using the pass too.

Are people referring to

Ludwig

as the first boss?

 

[NeoGold123]

Not sure about my guy, at work right now, but in my experience it never mattered if it was local or worldwide, always took so much time. One thing that seemed to help connection time was ringing the small bell before the beckoning, but even that has been slow connecting recently.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

so should i set it to local or worldwide?

These guys sound so brutal. Can't wait til I get past

And Grim, I'd say you want to match Aki's settings, but even then might take a while.

How long did it take to get 5 million?

that was so much easier

Huh, I'm playing it with a new character, and I managed to level up two that I found to 6 with the shards I had from the main game pre-Rom. I have enough shards for a third one as well. The same probably goes for my NG+ character. Shards don't cost much either.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

fuck yeah thanks dude.

that was so much easier

It was not I but glad you got it done!

 

[NeoGold123]

Mosquito ladies with huge red ballsacks lol

LOL. My most hated enemy in the main game of course had to have its own little hangout spot in the DLC. I do love being absolutely coated in red after a couple kills though.

 

[sn00zer]

Does the DLC alter anything in the primary game?

 

[JadedWriter]

I supposedly have the dlc installed and killed amelia like a week ago how the heck to do I get access to the dlc?

 

[Jafku]

Why can't I call any npc's to help me?

I guess you're right. I didn't want to use the shards I have yet because I know there will be better weapons down the road but I forgot that you can buy shards. You can buy everything except chunks and rocks right?

Touch the skull that makes it night, go to the dream and accept the gift from the messengers, Port to cathedral ward, go out the left entrance and all the way to the right, where you picked up the top hat.

An hour? Im 171 now zzz

Doing the hardest chalice- the isz 11 floor one.

I'm in the hunters dream and can't find the item any where. Never mind fixed the problem by restoring the licenses on my PS4.

End game

Well, that's Lawrence dead. Really enjoyed visiting Yharnam again. Time to finish NG+ once and for all.

 

[wild wild rice]

Well I've drank and smoked a little bit, back to my 20 somethingth attempt at the 1st boss

I always made the most progress in these games while inebriated. Booze makes me brave so I storm ahead, a little weed makes me highly aware of animations so I become an expert dodger.

Good luck.

 

[Melchiah]

You can buy chunks too, but they cost a lot. Which is why I'm saving them for the best ones. Luckily, I have an unused rock on my NG+ character.


EDIT:

I'm in the hunters dream and can't find the item any where.

In the stairs, outside the house. Where the main game starting weapons were.

 

[NeoGold123]

I think I found them on the bottom floor just in front of a grave. Look for the shiny.

 

[finalflame]

They really should have given you a way to respec in the game. I am so bummed to have to start an entire new character, as ALL these DLC weapons use Arcane.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

Sweet, found the DLC's blood rock!

There's a DLC blood rock? how far in is it?

 

[ponpo]

No they don't.

In a side area after the third boss, before the 4th.

 

[finalflame]

No they don't.

All the ones I'd like to use do. There's basically no good "quality build" weapon (str/skill).

Really enjoying this DLC. I feel I'm probably at the end now right? I like how

Spoiler

this whole area was a fishing village. It was the one Lovecraft thing missing in the base game.

I like how the first location is a familiar place but distorted by the nightmare. Second area was cool too. reminded me a bit of the Dukes Archives in DS1 with the criss-crossing and stair mechanism. Also Plip Plop, Splish Splash.

Spoiler

I'm a robin.

First boss was super hard but I finally did it with the help of the the good constable. That weapon was very nice and I used it for most of the DLC so far. (back to Ludwig sword for now though). Second boss was ok. Easy to get overwhelmed but not too bad. Easy to parry attacks too. Third boss was really cool but hard. I called in a random human player and we beat it.

 

[Hypemaster]

1st boss

Spoiler

Wtf was that gigantic ass beam Ludwig does in his second phase that seems almost unavoidable? Like I had time to run away while he was holding his sword upright and charging but that bullshit still got me. Not the smaller aoe attack he does with his sword.

I always made the most progress in these games while inebriated. Booze makes me brave so I storm ahead, a little weed makes me highly aware of animations so I become an expert dodger.

Good luck.

Thanks and similar effects lol, mainly to relieve stress.

Ludwig

is too hard

 

[Wagram]

I don't think bosses have too much HP to be honest. They give you 20 blood vials for a reason, and outside of turtle strategies they haven't had much purpose until now.

That's my opinion of course. I was pretty harsh on the main campaign for being overly lenient, but this is properly tuned for the resources they give you, unlike most of the main game.
