I don't get it either. I can join someones game or invade within seconds but I have been sitting here for 32 minutes trying to summon someone into my game. Nothing.

That is not how the game scales
Yes! Reached
yesterday and got my ass whooped. Tried again today after work and finally got that piece of shit!
Yeah he is deadly even in my NG+ run. I can only imagine NG++.... The problem is for the first time in the game the framerate has actually interfered with my ability to defeat the boss quickly. Still he is one of the most challenging bosses I have faced in a Souls game and like you said that music, voice acting, visuals and phases are out of this world. It is a great boss hampered by poor scaling and framerate. Extremely memorable though!

Hah, did they change Logarius? Every time he drops the sword that launches a storm of swords, it always starts by firing one straight at you now. So, if you just shoot it right away a sword will definitely hit you as you do.
I might just have not done it immediately before, but it would be a fun, evil change for those that knew you could shoot it if it's new.

the 3rd and final phase of that
fight is ridiculous and annoying...I can always get her down to around 20% health but then that 3rd phase is brutal...her hits take a huge chunk of health and I can barely get any swings in as she seems to stun me...any tips for the final part of that fight?
Lady Maria
Yeah...
What in GODS name is up with the framerate? Glad it wasn't just me but damn From :/
It's rough, especially combined with input buffering.

Same, I'm thinking there are not a lot of confederates seeking to help out there, as I got much more traffic in other covenants and with using no rune.
Though the last guy I summoned for

Playing the DLC on new game plus with a level 70 character was a big mistake...

Just got to the second lamp in the Fishing Hamlet and the area was easy as hell enemy-wise, but visually this area is gorgeous - it really gives me hope for what Dark Souls 3's inevitable swamp area could look like, it reminded me more of VoD than Blighttown, but the design of the area is just stunning to me, including the sound design which was really noticable.
I'm really pleased so far with the variety of environments in the DLC.

Could any of you give me some pointers on how to continue with my build? I ended up leaving the DLC after getting hammered by it earlier. I need to know where to put my points so that I have a strong end-game build.
Here are my current stats:
Level 59
Vitality: 25
Endurance: 21
Strength: 30
Skill: 14
Bloodtinge: 10
Arcane: 9
I'm currently alternating between a Ludwig Sword and the new
from the DLC. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

Meh, I beat him on my first try. His move set is predictable it just has AOE. Just stay back and always stick to his left side.
I had way more trouble with
Ludwig and Failures.

If I'd have applied this work-horse like ethic to anything else, i'd be a successful person who doesn't want to die.

Good news isit doesn't take long to level up. I co-oped for a bit and power leveled up to 85. I was able to beat the first boss but I needed help from cooperators.
But I tell you, when I first booted up bloodborne to get into the DLC after so long of not pkaying and then get one shotted by the first hunter enemy I told myself...."and here we go..."

Died during first boss and all my echoes up and vanished. Neat. Gonna just farm the area before it with those two dudes you can summon.
Edit: That one phase is brutal. Also loving holding L2 on Whirlgig Saw.

damn
can be a bit challenging if you're 1v1 but 3v1? Lol, she barely attacked once.
I did 2 tries solo, during which she was literally 3 hits away from dying before combo'ing me (again here bloodtinge sucks) then I wanted to try how she was going to deal with co-op and rip.

Hi folks, common question incoming:
SL ~80 on NG, literally just started it, should I continue on or start a new character? I don't want to be over leveled but I also don't want to have to level up again to an optimal SL before starting DLC.

You're not overleveled at all.

There really aren't "builds" for single player. Specialization really only matters for PVP or self-imposed handicap runs.
But you want to level Vitality, Endurance, and Strength for your weapons. You can also level Skill once putting a point there gives you a bigger bonus than just strength. LHB scales off of both at basically equal proportion.
Arcane and Bloodtinge should always come last. Vitality is probably what you should focus on first. If you have more health, you can always do more damage. With low health, it doesn't matter how high your strength is, because you can't attack when you're dead!
I started the DLC at level 80. Some of the enemies will be nothing, but the bosses may have problem (especially the first one). It's doable at 80.
Depends on your weapon and stats.
Aim for his sides when you can because it'll knock him off balance. Stay back as he has 360 attacks that hurt as well as flailing appendages. Summon in Vatir to help you as he hits hard and can tank hits.
