Ah okay, I prefer armor that's half metal, half cloth - especially ripped. I love ripped and battle-tested cloth.

Straight, and you can find it in
High Wall of Lothric or Farron Keep.

Honestly, this game seems really good for fashion souls. Make me want to rush it just to make new characters, but I also want to take it really slow and savour it all (right now I have almost 20 hours after
Cathedral of Deep
Yeah me too. Makes my character look like he's been to hell and back.
Guess I'll stick with default Knight set for now...

Question about crystal weapons. If I remember right in old Dark Souls games crystal weapons couldn't be repaired and shattered after the endurance wore down right? Do the crystal weapons in this work the same? Cause the descriptions on the gems dont say anything about that and seeing as it scales with INT i'd like to use that if I won't have to worry about losing my Uchi.

There's a bonfire in the middle of the forest area. You can run to the boss without even fighting anything.

Look closer. The "run" to the boss shouldn't be that bad if you found the appropriate bonfire.
Just got to

I'm about 3/4 of the way through the game, but friends tell me I'm barely halfway there

What a fun game. I wasn't even hyped for it due to series fatigue. It really was the accumulation of all lessons learned with polish to match set to some Greatest Hits level design (they all kind of go through similar tropes anyway).
I'm excited for the inevitable albeit distant sequel. It's hard to imagine something better than this.
The level that was based on DS2's Valley of the Drakes ended up being the lowest point for me. Fairly annoying but thankfully optional.

Is the fps hard for others here? Xbox One version here and normally I really dont care or feel slowdown but the first boss had soms rough moments really...
This is ridiculous. DS3 is easily the hardest in the series, not counting DLC, but it's breezy if your a vet. There are more genuinely challenging bosses in the game than any other did at launch. The enemies are generally smarter. Backstab fishing is harder. Knights shield bash and break your guard. Sorcery is nerfed to the point people are pissed about it, etc etc etc.
You just know how to game the game to the point that the only way it could be hard is if it felt cheap as fuck to most of the people who bought it. It's still possible to exploit most of the tricks that worked in the past. Have you played the other games recently? I've polished off the platinum in pretty much all of them in the past year and the other games are just as "easy" as this one and I'd argue easier. The back half of DS1 is positively laid back compared to the onslaught of PS, DA, 2P, NK etc...
I've seen people saying stuff like "DS3 is so easy, I'm stun locking everything with a great axe" and my reaction to that is "well, duh, that works in all the other games, too. It's one of the built in easy modes."

i got this bug today.. no hard enemies spawn andf lots of graphical glitches, is this a feature for ppl who suck at souls games like myself?
Your armor is amazing.
But anyways, that seems like a vfx streaming issue? Every so often I can see things loading into the distance in chunks like that; your issue just looks like it failed... for some reason. Maybe verify game cache and hit the performance thread to see what, if anything, you can do on your hardware.

Lol DS3 isn't "easy" relative to the other games.
Souls/Bloodborne are titles that basically require you to have a near-mastery of the game and it's systems to even complete them. If you've played through at least one of them (yet alone all of them) you are starting with way more knowledge/skill than they can balance around.
If they went all the way with making it a challenge for longtime players (comparable to their first time playing any of them) it would be near unapproachable for new players.
Hotline Miami 2 used the approach of starting where the first game ends difficulty-wise and a lot of people hated it (because some sections seem impossible without cheap tactics)

what was that blue knight with red eyes outside the castle where the woman tells you the Lords are gone? is it just a regular enemy or what?
That sounds like you have all up until that point.

I wish I was proficient enough to know what you are talking about.
In Bloodborne it healed you completely. Not sure about the others.

I wouldn't go that far, but I will say for me, I'm having the easiest time compared to any of the other ones before. I'm about halfway through and have only died at one boss and more often from dumb jumps than mob deaths. But to what you said I'm always cautious, always careful and always prepared. Maybe just conditioned by now.
But even with all of that, this might be my favorite in the series/BB. I love the NPC stuff, fashion stuff, weapon stuff, level design, music, enemies, ugh. so good.
What I have failed is a few NPC quests and it drives me insane. I hate that I missed out on some of that stuff.
I only notice three different rolls 0-30, 30-70, and 70-100.

Is it worth it at all to have a wand in the left hand in order to do a magic weapon spell on your right hand weapon if you only have 10 intelligence?
Edit: no, it is not. Damage went from 240 to 257 lol.

A comment in the Warrior of Sunlight section from the wiki. It's spoiler free.
LOL
Well Sunbros needed something to do and we already have two covenants dedicated to the Way of Blue
Okay, I think I have a working system in place now, so does anybody on PS4 around Level 40 want to help be an item-mule for 15-20 minutes and get themselves a free set of Y
's armor & sword?
Even if it doesn't work properly, you still end up with the items, so it's a win-win.

You're well conditioned and the front half of ds3 is the gentlest intro a DS game has. Usually they are hard giving way to easy, with optional hard endgame stuff. This one the mobs are harder than the bosses until the halfway mark and then shit gets real.
