Now would be good if possible
I'm on PC as well, but you might not want me helping for that fight because I'm more than 50 levels lower than youUnless it scales me up of course heh, I doubt it does.
Heh, I don't mind. I know it scales the person joining to the host in terms of scaling down (I helped a friend with Undead Settlement boss yesterday) but not sure about scaling up.
also....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Literally got NK to the last sliver of his health left and he did some attack i'd never seen before (AoE) and killed me.......
i'm guessing password would be like ds3gaf?

Crap, I actually can't do it at the moment. Just realized I moved to NG+ on that character. Sorry about that, man. Give me 30 (hopefully) I played Borderlands not too long ago, and because of that was thinking I could just log in to my NG file. *PicardFacepalm.gif*
GloriousNot sure if it has been brought up in here, but there is a Dark Souls Kickstarter going on for a board game. Looks like it will be quite a package, though is going to cost a good chunk o' change.

Oh man I would like to co-op more but how is everyone doing that besides the usual "put sign down in front of boss door"? Are you guys doing co-op through zones? Are you doing it the first time you are there or just for a second run? I like to go through a new zone by myself first but end up never doing any co-op besides some boss runs after I have killed them. Same with other SoulsBorne Games. I feel like I'm missing out on a fun part of the game :/
Beat the game yesterday at 30 hours (all bosses including optional ones) lvl98 character.
NK and PS were hardest bosses for me. NK woukd just kill me in two hits from whatever and PS became really hard to punish in 2nd form.
UGSs in general are pretty bad in this game. Fine for trash monsters but against bosses it's a struggle. Can't really attack them after they finish moves, you have to wait until they do their very high recovery attack because even bosses will just hit you out of start up of a UGS attack. I beat the whole game with UGS but I always felt like a faster weapon could've done the job better. Some sections were easier with a UGS though so it's not all bad.
I ended up having a lot of fun near the end of the game because I started helping others on bosses for some extra currency.
Solid Souls game out of 10 so 9/10. Probably the shortest though the one with the fewest extremes in quality and most consistency (not including BB here).
Oh and don't put a single point into Vitality. Garbagio tier stat in this game.

Apparently it's not that good a board game?
I was doing some co-op zones with randoms on my new character earlier, Raw Astora Straight Sword *swoons*

Pontiff Suhlyvahn is finally dead, fucking hell!
I don't know how I could have possibly have beaten him if I hadn't been nailing my parries on that last run.
He's a real fucker aint he?

I play solo my first run. I did the entire bloodborne coop with a rl friend who never played any of the souls games before. Doing ds3 coop with the same friend and 2 other rl friends who never played the souls series as well.
My back hurts
I wasn't ranting...just stating an opinion. It wasn't directed at anyone particular (although admittedly I came a little late to the discussion).
In general, people can get into the habit of investing too much in their own personal meta for games like this.
It happens with fighting games as well; probably anything where there's a lot of competetive play involved, with a lot at stake.
A host might taunt an invader after 2 or 3 bodyguards have crushed them while he/she stood back.
Likewise, an invader might taunt a host after twinking them in the first area.
In either situation, the victim could be salty, or they could laugh it off. It all depends on your personal situation and state of mind.
There's no telling what's going on at the other end of the internet, so in most cases you may as well "hold dat" (to use fighting game vernacular) and save your dignity for another day.
Now THAT was me ranting! Got nothing whatsoever against you personally, Morrigan!
Just won

Phase 2 is best boss fight in the game imho, even though it is probably the hardest and took me the longest. Would fight him again if it weren't for the Phase 1 where you fight against

If you stop at 80 you can coop a fair chunk of the back end of NG and your build should decent enough by then. Particularly if you aren't doing magic.

Yeah, this doesn't work for me at all. I have yet to be summoned as a darkmoon despite having it on for hours, which has relegated me to grinding the drops from the
silver knights on the anor londo steps/bonfire
I usually do this in batches of 10, as that's the amount of coins you can stock without resting... I did 3 batches of 10. 3 enemies per run per batch means I had 90 kills. I had ZERO drops. This was with crystal sage rapier offhand, gold covetous serpent ring, symbol of avarice, and the aforementioned coin per run totally 367 discovery. When I was done, I had enough souls (combined with a few previous runs from earlier in the day) to buy my removal of dark signs for a whopping 830k and had enough souls leftover for at least 5 titanite scales.
This. is. ridiculous.
Wrapped up F
p. In a word, amazing.
Think it was the boss that really sold it, though. Really incredible stuff.
arron's Kee
Probably my favourite area of the game so far, and definitely my favourite poison themed area in a Souls game, and it's the first one that's really made me see the value in poison as a way to add a thin layer of pressure and excitement to regular old exploration. Love the aesthetics of it, and loved how wide and sprawling and outwardly threatening the area is. There's this forlorn, empty vibe to so much of the game up to this point, and when you step out of the descending tower and see all the slugs bathing in this purple mire, man, it's cool.
Cooler still being the build-up to that point in how lofty and elite Farron's Legion sounded to begin with. Then you just step into there and it's, uh, yeah. Some of the more interesting implications in the game for me. How evocative it is of Darkroot Garden in so many ways, and how twisted it is by contrast.
Anyways, loved exploring it, loved rationing out my healing and investigating the islands for treasure to loot and torches to extinguish, and the cast of enemies in the region are some of the most grotesque but visually interesting ones I've seen in the game so far.

Such fantastic build-up to start with, too. Heading through the gate, hearing the clash of swords with no real clue what exactly's going on, finally stepping into the chamber and seeing an Abyss Walker in the midst of striking down his comrades. Then you notice the ground littered in corpses and it instantly clicks what's been happening. The fight itself seemed really inspired to me, too. The concept of being locked in the midst of an in-fight (and more or less indiscriminate melee) between the 'boss' itself was such a novel and exciting thing to me, and though the first phase was a bit easy for me, the second phase (with the Lord soul coalescing into the one knight? Wasn't sure exactly what was going on there) was just as exciting, and definitely much more difficult. Incredibly fun fight, though. Magic dudes with swords will always be my favourite sort of encounter in a Souls game, and this fight just nails it.
Makes up for how lame Deacons were.

Whelp, can't sleep tonight, so I guess I'll dive into NG+.
Got some crazy stat goals in mind now:
Vigor: 40+
Attunement: 10
Endurance: 40
Vitality: As much as possible
Strength: 40
Dexterity: 40
Intelligence: 40
Faith: 40
Luck: 7
I really want to play with the NG+ only greatsword that has scaling in Str/Dex/Int/Faith.
Currently at level 142 with 40/10/40/28/40/40/10/16/7.

The sliding bug or whatever it is is making coop pretty unfun. I'll get spawned in and the host doesn't animate, they then go in the boss area and I can't follow after them. So basically they have to fight the boss with 3 people HP and I'm stuck there doing dick
I've had to use the black separation crystal a lot, apparently that's what's been getting people banned.

Best weapon animation. The flip you do in the combo is pretty awesome too.
Yeah your dodge and block game along with stamina management really has to be on point for that one. Even finding a window to chuck some Estus is hard. Especially those last few hits when you try your best to not be greedy but want to hit with all you've got.
I really don't know how you'd do that enemy as a mage. I play a pyromancer so with most bosses I use a combination of throwing fire orbs at them and using my sword.

If you were Saber then THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Worst weapon animation. Dark Souls equivalent of Eddie Gordo. Fortunately the people who like to use it seem to use it exclusively and aren't hard to beat.
Its just a shitty laggy host, not a bug.
Though if you see it excessively could also be your own internet.

No probs, man! Yeah, that's my build. Greatshields are cheating a bit, but it gets the job done, haha. Surprised I made the time I did.
I had to rush through the dungeon, beat the Ancient Wyvern and rush the bonfire, which I somehow did in about 13 minutes.
Nice run, btw. You obviously knew what you were doing with the boss. Dodged like a champ.

I've already maxed the Darkmoon covenant. What's your level and weapon level? If you are levels 60-100 you should at least be getting summoned in the areas I mentioned at least once per 10 minutes. I was getting a string of 4-5 summons during certain moments as well. How long do you usually wait when you get there? Sometimes you do have to wait 5-10 minutes. but it's garuanteed faster than the shitty drop method.
Just go to the Belfry bonfire in
Archdragon Peak
Grand Archives.
Lothric Castle
They win nothing from that as far as I know. But when you can lock on to something you have to attack it I guess.
They get souls for killing other invaders not in their covenant, plus some people don't like other invaders butting in on their fights I guess.

Ha, thanks. Some attacks of his I hadn't worked out how to dodge, or even if you could (like the bolt in his 2nd form seems to hit a random target 100%) but usually I'm ok at dodging, I just get cocky in trying to get that 1 extra hit in.
Bumbletron
Member
Yeah, that bolt is a pain, you just have to really get that timing down pat. I love to try to get that extra hit in a lot myself. Especially 1v1, once you get them down to the last 1/3 you just want to finish it, because you just know you're going to mess up in some way and they'll punish you to death. So you try to beat this imaginary clock you set up in your mind, and more often than not it kills you, haha.

Its just all round badass
Is there PC ports that I should be opening for online?
Not really having any issues, just some "unable to summon" but I'm pretty sure 99% of the time it's because they've been summoned already.
I've often had party of 3 phantoms alongside 2 invaders.
Just wanted to check if opening any ports further improves the experience.

Generally have the same issues on PS4 as well, so I think it's something that we are all facing when trying to summon co op.
