The tipping-point is far more pronounced than in the other games because playing aggressively, as opposed to cautiously, is almost always the best approach.

grr this has never happened to me in a Souls game before
I'll just have to accept that the game ate my souls

I did some tests on it a while back, go to
Lothric Castle
I maxed the covenant getting summoned there in a couple of hours. Make sure cross-region matching is ON.

Welp, it finally happened. I missed a bonfire before a boss... somehow. Fortunately it was one of those bosses that I'm capable of beating in one attempt.

Wow. The hit detection on D
's grab attack is horrendous. I'm literally teleporting into the arm.

Stay out of Boss rooms, make sure that the emblem is flashing. Also, I would say to not cross area bounds too much. The reason why: For example, when you get summoned, you will see that fog doors show up while being summoned. I have a feeling that the search gets reset when you cross different boundaries (areas that are governed by different bonfires).

I don't understand invading???
I'm trying to rack up pale tongues for the ring right now, using the full red orb... every freakin time I invade someone's world they have two or three other guys with them and just dance around behind them.
To make matters worse I am seeing huge lag and HUGE phantom reach for people's UGS and shit...
*Sometimes it even spawns me by a fog door right in the middle of the guys I've invaded and theyre already swinging at me.
What is the freaking point here?
This is so damn broken I want to scream!

If you want to rake up pale tongues, just put down a red summon sign outside of pontiff. That's where everyone duels, and you can get pale tongues by winning against the host. It's a fairer chance than random invasions
The hilarious part is that it's intentional. I think you're supposed to back away as soon as you hear the unique scream that foreshadows that move.
The lag and phantom reach is annoying for sure. Try invading in different areas,

Eventually you will get a solo player. Although, I'm not sure how far you are into the game.

Haven't made it there yet but I heard there's a weapon near his throne that you charge up and kill him in 4 hits.
Check out the messages in his room.

Looks like all the speedrunners use anris sword w/ luck...weapon is a beast.
Overall the game is quite easy.
I have never felt like I did that much damage to bosses and ennemies in previous souls games, now even as a deprived I plowed through the first boss (and the beginning area is the simplest of any souls game).
I mean all the boss dies really fast, and you can power through them easily, which is quite disturbing coming from the cautious approach of previous game.
Finding such a strong weapon as the Uchigatana right at the beginning is not helping to make the game feel less easy and power oriented.
Outside of that, I feel like the game is relying too much on infinite stamina for ennemies, which I find unfair.
Otherwise the world is awesome, even though I stil prefer DS1 level design, and the armors and bosses are overly cool.

Makes since. My character doesn't scale with it well and it still competes with my other weapons for damage. It's also easy to upgrade.

Jeebus,
has to be in the top 3 bosses in terms of looks, atmosphere and difficulty in the entire series, right?
Nameless King
A luck build with bleed is truly scary. It's insane how fast some of the bosses go down. They also use the the astora straight sword with raw infusion at the start. It has amazing damage for the beginning, but obviously falls off later when you get weapons with better scaling.
Yes.

Thanks a lot guys, finally got him. Changed up my equipment a bit - tossed the shield, changed to the Flamberge +10 2-handed and swapped out Havel's ring for the Carthus Milkring. Helped out quite a bit.
After that, the final boss was cake. Got him on my first try.
The fire isn't as scary as you think it is. Just rush in and go ham on his slug half while chugging estus. The absolute worst thing you can do is try to stay far away from him.
When he uses unlimited arrow works just keep running.

If you are melee then the boss is quite tough, it's pretty much dodge city. A summon trivializes the fight though, because you guys just pretty much spam him before he can do anything.

Thanks for the tips
So I've had one summon so far and its been almost 20min. Might try archdragon peak if nothinf pops soon.
Yesss.
Him and Artorias of the Abyss are my top 2 right now.
Not sure on the third, but there was a dragon fight on one of the dark souls 2 DLC that I remember being great. Can't remember exactly which, though. The poison dragon, maybe?
Yup,
aim for the tail, but whatever you do, if he is successful in his arrow spam, run like hell. Staying in one spot is like an instant KO.

Kinda stuck here.
I'm in Lothric Castle.
I beat the dragonslayer armor. After that is a bonfire with these 2 staircases.
The left side is a locked door. The right side is an elevator that won't work.
Not sure where to go from here.

Also why is it that when I get invaded I get blocked by fog doors, but when I invade someone else they can walk freely beyond the fog door and cheap shot me from safety?

There should be another staircase/path, I think you just overlooked it. Directly opposite of the...oh wait. I think there's an item on the floor that unlocks the door. I forgot about that. Look around the room.
Sinh, probably. Best dragon boss in the series.

There's not a damn thing on the floor here! What the eff. No items at all....
I finally did it!!! Beat NK without compromising my chosen playing style (no shield light armor quality build) for this run. The trick is to further reduce my equipment load from 45% to 32%. The added i-frames and roll distance really made a huge difference! Too bad that I have to switch back to my fashion armor set and live with 45% again.

A shoutout to GWC, the only Dark Souls LP'er worth watching.

The even better Part 2
An absolute treasure.

Maybe you picked it up already. Look in your inventory for a new key. Try the door again. It should have been on a corpse.

My CPU is overheating while playing DS3. Does anyone know which settings I can lower that will lesson the demand on my CPU?
Thanks!
