So restrict the ability of my summon sign to be visible in enemy phantom worlds?

Any thoughts on this and what it does?

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Yeah, I mean no death, haha.

Lol in this context One-shot means first try

Yeah dunno how I get forgetting this. Grats though, first one actually took me a second try since I foolishly tried to keep some distance at first. I'm sure there's gonna be some rough stuff later though, I figure they'd wanna go out with a bit of a bang.

 

[Soulflarz]

That boss actually surprised me as well, but I wouldn't call it the new pinwheel. I think he's closer to the Taurus or Capra demon in the sense that it feels more like a bigger tougher enemy rather than an actual boss.

That's a good comparison!

 

[Hellix]

Pontiff's Left Eye, yay or nay? I don't know how effective it is.

 

[TitusTroy]

are people enabling the 'Manual Attack Aiming' option in the settings? (Allows for Manual Control of Aiming of Large Weapons when Locked-On)

 

[GorillaJu]

I think I've made a huge mistake going for a pure sorcerer as my first character, the increased speed and aggressiveness of the enemies is making magic feel really lacking early on. Not sure whether to tough it out and 'get good' or start again.

I've played through the game 4 times. Trust me when I say, sorcerer is HARD MODE.

To the ppl that keep up rating my message at this spot, you've saved my ass so many times

 

[tirkaroKujo]

Just started and there's no black dude preset.

Looks like im gonna be stuck on the character creator for a while.

 

[thaDeeg]

yes, indeed.

I love this stupid meme haha

 

[Laughing Banana]

Everything is viable, just be comfortable with the moveset.

I can't speak to Dark Souls 3 specifically, but in 1 & 2 the vast majority of weapons are never really superseded by something new that you pick up. I would assume that this one will be similar.

I finished the game with a heavily upgraded katana I got 2 hours into the game, so that should give you a good idea on viability.

it's like any souls game in that most weapons you find are viable if upgraded. some may be generally better than others but most things can be used.

No, early game weapons are very good as well. You tend to find more weapons with exotic and cool move sets later on in the game but they are not outright better (most of the time), just different.

Niiiiiiiice. Nothing I hated more in an RPG than upgrading early stuff only to find that in later stages that stuff can serve nothing more than a junk.

 

[AmyS]

Dammit, tempted for the digital. Nah, I'll just wait till 10AM tomorrow morning.

Yeah, don't go for digital, you'll end up regretting it -- I did that with SoTFS, then a week later wished I'd bought a physical copy. I won't do that with DS3. Gonna wait it out till 10AM and chug coffee all the way to GameStop

Don't get too carried away upgrading the broken sword though

I think I missed the white soapstone. Anyone know where it is?

Took me a while and I think I ended up with someone Indian

 

[Grisby]

I can't play the game till tomorrow afternoon. I'm sitting here watching King's Field LP's. Send help.

 

[Aeana]

I'm having a hard time deciding which way I want to go build-wise. I had such a great time as a pure sorcerer in both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, but it was rubbish in Dark Souls 2. But Dark Souls 2 showed me that a melee character can be fun, which I didn't really entertain in the prior two games. I ended up finishing DS2 with a cleric. In DS3, I've completed the starter area with several different classes, and from what people say, the weapon variety is much larger in this game than the others too. Hmph.

One thing I've never tried is he slow tanky type, but I'm not sure if I want to do that here.

I completely agree.

Also, my PS4 copy is arriving tomorrow. What kind of updates size wise should I expect?

Purchase it in

So the

Ice-like

creature in the tutorial area killed me as many times are most bosses in Bloodborne. Good fucking sign man. Glad to be HOME. Heart is pumpin.

Decided to go with the Decriped class.

 

[Obliterator]

God I'm just staring at the class screen trying to decide which way to go.

This is always so difficult for me when starting a Souls game

 

[Afrocious]

first boss down

that was fun

this game doesn't look as good as i hoped it would. dunno if it's my machine

water is choppy and the sound does a weird reset of its audio loop when I'm going through the inventory.

 

[mujun]

I just met Eygon of Carim at the base of a tower. I go up the tower and meet a giant. What do I do now?

Spoiler

Roll off the elevator and get on it again when it returns to go down and progress.

What sort of build are you using? I killed that thing first try. >_>

I hate that I sound like I'm bragging, but I honestly thought it was fairly easy to avoid its attacks.

Edit: Ah, I see you posted what you went with.

 

[Obliterator]

OK

Knight
Mercenary
Or
Warrior

What should I go with here bros

 

[Afrocious]

i went assassin

that first boss was hilarious. i whiffed so many times with my little dagger

;_;

Go Knight!

You start off with a 100% physical shield. :lol

You must experience Havel's greatness. (Assuming it's in DS3)

Embrace the fatroll. Go full heavy and never look back! No one will be able to stop you, because you'll be too slow and armoured and powerful, practically a boss in player form.

 

[Soulflarz]

yo FUCK

Farron Keep

. Fuck it to infinity.

And I'm entering there now, oh boy!

 

[Afrocious]

Go Knight!

oh you had an actual sword when fighting the dude

cool

 

[Spizz]

First boss down on first try. Feels good, thanks Bloodborne!

Thanks. Didn't even notice that vendor was there

Pure sorcerer is under power.

 

[Obliterator]

Go Knight!

Alright that's what I'm doing then. Looks like Tank class for me on my first playthrough

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

OK

Knight
Mercenary
Or
Warrior

What should I go with here bros

Knight cuz the armor looks cool and you can get a good quality build going with the class

 

[Jawbreaker]

oh you had an actual sword when fighting the dude

cool

Yup. I love two-handing swords in the Souls games. Can't wait to get an ultra.

 

[Kazaam]

Deprived.

Spoiler

Given your choices, I'll take a guess about the kind of build you wanna go for and I'll say Mercenary.

 

[Wagram]

Maybe it's not the time yet..

Only took 3 tries, but I got greedy on my first attempt with him at 5%.

 

[ramyeon]

The spear Knights of Lothric are the actual worst.

 

[Jawbreaker]

It's all about the fashion souls. I love that armor.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Same, Ludwig's Holy Blade was awesome in Bloodborne. I loved wrecking fools with a high STR/SKL build with the Cannon.

Congrats! Those are the new

Not (entirely) true.. but you can read about it in the description of the item you got from it for more info.

 

[105.Will]

Done for the night because of work. Game's solid so far but it really hasn't wow'd me yet like Bloodborne or DS1 did, but i'm only 4 hours in so its fine.

 

[Shmeagatory94]

Liking that we get a manual. Brings back the good old PS2 days.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I'm not even a massive Souls nerd but I'm having to force myself to sleep at 5am lol, game is great IMO. It's like Bloodborne but not a choppy mess which makes it so much more enjoyable to play.

 

[MUnited83]

is there no dual wielding movesets for regular weapons?

 

[iPanDa]

will the game be dificult if i run int/faith build , i'm a bit scared to do it XD

 

[Mattdaddy]

So restrict the ability of my summon sign to be visible in enemy phantom worlds?

Any thoughts on this and what it does?

Bumping this question. Do I need to switch this to unrestricted for invasions to happen? By default it's on restricted.

 

[Drillary Clinton]

Just encountered a glitch where I got summoned into

Spoiler

Dancer

and she was just sliding around in a stuck animation and couldn't damage me and I sat there and spammed RT for the guy lmao

That's hard mode, friend.
