It absolutely sucks that Covenants just seem to not work for certain people, I have had absolutely no luck whatsoever in regards to being summoned for Covenants (Darkmoon, Blue Sentinels, Watchdog) and thus the grind for the platinum is grating on me right now.
And that drop rate. Sigh...

Return the lords to their thrones!
I've been summoned exactly once for watch dogs and zero times for blademoon/sentinels. I don't think its broken I think there just aren't enough people the right level for watch dogs and no one using way of the blue.
Man I've just farmed 30 tongues. I don't want to farm a bunch more for respecs D:

Pretty sure it's optional if it's giving you too much trouble, maybe come back later.

The bossfight against the
is the biggest shit ever created. Nothing is working, nothing. And the camera is completely fucked up. Not bothering with this stupid crap anymore. Already wasted hours because of this. Patch this ffs.

Exactly. Not the first fight of course. That was easy. The second one (end boss)
It's worth trying, like I said, in the later levels you can get summoned pretty easily. And sometimes I got 2 drops per summon because of multiple invaders. You get one drop per kill. It's still worth it, it's downright nonsense to just do the farm drop method. But if that means you have to wait until late game, then so be it.
I don't really buy that my connection is somehow special and getting all the summons. You just have to be in the right places for it to work, or the right levels (early game you probably won't get summons)

Ah right thought you were talking about the gimmick boss. Yeah the camera is so damn wonky against it. I dont lock untill its on the ground or floating in a single area.

Never done so much Dark Souls PvP (actually hated it in the DS1/2/Bloodborne) as in this game. I pretty much invade or lay down a summoning sign whenever I die and want som ember back. Love the mound covenant, constant chaos 
. Doesn't seem like the wolf and blue sentinel covenants works as they should do. Been summoned as a sentinel once and I'm probably like two thirds into the game.
Might do a pvp character next, any good guides for this or tips? Like what level should I aim for, what areas are good for PvP?

Don't lock on. Also target cam will never be patched because FROM. Actually managed to make it worse than in DS1 in this one, somehow.
I have literally tried every single area with the covenant equipped while exploring those areas and even have left the game running near bonfire and nothing. It just doesn't work for me. Only way for me to get the items was to farm them in PVE. I have only seen one or two blue phantoms while doing invasions also and I've done a bunch of those while getting rewards for other covenants.
And like I said I have no problem connecting while using Red Eye Orb or White Soapstone. Both give me instant connection almost everytime. But Blue Sentinels, Darkmoon, Aldrich Faithfuls and Watchdogs just doesn't work at all.

I FINALLY did it! I beat A
on my SL1/No Upgrades run! I was about to give up, then on this last one I got him down to the last half of his health with no estus and one hit left on my character, and something just clicked. I was able to get a lucky backstab after a punishable move, followed up by a fully charged R2 with my Fire Reinforced Club to take off just enough health to end it all! So happy!

are STILL kicking my ass though.

I just can't outdamage his healing, and the mob is fucking bullshit if you can't take enough of them out at the same time.
Yes actually
Well at least according to the wiki but you have beat a certain boss later in the game.

Something is weird on your end, Aldritch Faithful is one of the most summoned covenants. You have to be in
Anor Londo
As I said previously, make sure you are set to cross region matching ON and sit near the lothric castle bonfire for darkmoon. You should definitely get a summon if you are anywhere from 70-100 range of level (and your weapon is also properly upgraded).
I understand if you aren't convinced but I know it works, and I've sent others there and they get at least one summon when they go.

Ahh I didn't read his second part, by B. Well if anyone else wants to know there it is.

if I don't lock on I get one-shotted by fire or lightning?
I believe that it works for you and I am not claiming it is broken for everyone but it doesn't work for me. None of the auto-summon covenants work for me. I don't know why they won't work since summoning and regular invading works fine.

Nameless King
Lord of Cinder

I know miracles are pretty weak from a damage perspective, but how to people feel about them as a utility pvp deal. I really want to use the sword spear or dragonslayer axe.
I haven't used them, but I've seen them used in pvp and they seem pretty decent. Especially if you can hit someone with a long range attack, or at the very least buff your weapon.
Those have pretty obvious tells. If it screeches and flies up a bit -> run away, fire
If you see lightning being charged -> dodge as the weapon comes down
Obviously you still need to keep your camera on the boss, just need to do it manually and without lockon.
To be fair, it's probably one of the hardest bosses is the entire souls-series. Took me a good few hours to kill him. Just keep trying, at some point i managed to do phase 1 without taking a hit.

I've been using the butchers cleaver for most of the game. Are there any weapons that I should replace it with that are better? I'm putting a lot of points into str.

Anyone who is level 50 and that late in the game deliberately didn't level. At least I didn't. I spent all my souls on spells, armor, weapons, and consumables.

The D
are down! The only real roadblocks by design are out of the way. Everything else from here on should be fairly smooth sailing.

I find that the Heavy Dark Sword deals more damage with the same amount of str at +6 or so.

So, how many hours is an average first playthrough? I've played almost 50 hours and I'm currently moving through the Irithyll dungeons towards profaned capital I think.
My playstyle is every nook and cranny exploration and slaying most enemies at least once. My level is somewhere between 60 and 70. It's great that it's not over yet, though.

Hmm that weapon hasn't dropped for me, but I might consider getting it. Bleed + stagger sounds nice.
You're definitely taking your time but that's good if you like to take everything in. You're at
60% ish
btw the ENB run is getting pretty good. Last few episodes were ace. And I never even found

Stop relying on lock on...
I almost want to say this weapon is bullshit in pvp. Ridiculous damage with huge range sweeps and it stuns longer somehow.

Got 30 Sunbro medals in 3 hours, would've been faster if the hosts stopped dying on me.
Had some fun two-handing the Fume GS and Washing Pole. Went no shields and it was quite exciting. I think I'm overleveled cuz I'm getting summoned into NG+ bosses who take a lot of damage. At least I know people are still summoning a lot there too.

The Black Knight Halberd is back to its old moveset, so its pretty good, but you get super late. The only other ones I can think of that are decent is two very late optional boss soul weapons. Halberds kind of got the shaft. A scythe might be the best choice for something like a halberd or rapier for spear.
