Finally finished the game at around the 42 hour mark. I explored all areas and did all optional bosses as well (with help). I did miss a lot of the NPC quest lines, but I will focus on those in my next play through.
I went with a Paladin build - Str / Faith, I really liked the extra heals for extending my exploration especially early on in the game. Starting a sorcerer now so lets see how that works. I got Platinum in Bloodborne so perhaps I can do it again. I love DS3 and just can't get enough of it.

It's the opposite for me. Funny how people seem to have drastically different trouble with different bosses.
Thanks - can I still acquire it even though I've killed him?
Also, how comes when I help others with bosses, they can summon 3 other players? I've only ever manged to summon 2 at the most.

you need to use the dried finger to get more summons, you can buy it from the shrine maiden
Yeah, I think you can still get it. You can summon more people of you use a dried finger, but it also allows you to be invaded way more frequently.

Using the Dried Finger opens up the third friendly summon slot.

There is an item called dried fingers. When you use it you can summon an additional player. But there is also a negative effect, it will also allow for an additional invader to come to your world.

Wow, I finally get to be that guy in Souls threads who thinks the hard bosses are easy. Beat that one on my second try, came close the first time.
Come to think, I've died like twice as many times in Ratchet and Clank as I have in Dark Souls 3, lol.

What? 2nd try, maybe I was overpowerd!
Just watching Lobos' run and he comes across Anri in
. I went past this exact same area and never saw her once. How is that possible? Is my game bugged or is it possible to mess up the story? I used Horace in the fight in the Cathedral and they are both at firelink atm. I'm so confused by character story progression this time round.

Have to say, Glaive is an amazing weapon in PVP. Since almost no one uses it in PVE the moveset isn't well-known and thus invaders seem to really underestimate the reach and tracking capability of this thing. Rolling sideways is a free hit to me, when I start my swing mid-roll it almost always connects, from there it's just stunlock express since the invader didn't technically move when the first hit connected.

In case anyone is interested, there is an upcoming patch that mentions performance fine tuning and bug fixes:

Hopefully it includes a fix for the auto-save stutter.

Not saying I'm the best but after being summoned a few times to the same boss, you get used to the patterns and other phantoms make it way easier. If I die to some dumb thing, I lose nothing but time. So I'm pretty tolerant and since the summoning in this game is so annoying for the host, I think it's fine if they don't wanna risk dying. Who knows how long they were summoning in the first place.

I need someone to tell me a couple things.
First of all, between these two weapons.
Anyone that has tested both, which one do you enjoy more and why, because the move set from both seem to be cool.
Second:
How is this shield? Is it worth the extra weight? I feel shield in this game in general and really worth that much.

Got a question about weapon scaling.
I have a plus 5 Farron Greatsword. It takes 18 strength and 20 dexterity. At +5 it has C scaling in strength and A scaling in dexterity. If I wanted to make the most use out of the scalings, what ratio should should my strength and dexterity be at?
Sorry if that doesn't make much sense. Don't know how to phrase the question.

Is weapon degradation broken or something? My shield that I am using for over 15 hours now hasn't lost a single point in durability, my armor went from 270 to 268 and my sword has also just lost 3 points. Not that Im complaining but still

Everything gets automatically repaired when you rest at a bonfire.

Whoops, my bad. I'll edit my post.
When it stutters and it doesn't take your controller inputs is the worst, especially in PvP.
the worst I've seen was what looked like some kind of nodachi/long ass katana. It was hitting me at least half an extra blade length away. Complete fucking nonsense.

Weapons and gear are repair every time you rest at a bonfire. But frankly weapon degradation is not a issue in Dark Souls 3.
I loved
, I really did. Unfortunately the statement does not stand anymore after farming approximately 6 million Souls from the three enemies you encounter after the bonfire hoping for a stupid drop and not getting it.
The Covenant item
can absolutely go to hell. Worst thing about it? I haven't even reached the first level of rewards yet!
I'm actually considering asking a friend to save dupe and drop the
for me and I hate that I have to even think about doing it.

well if you are going for the platinum, you might as well grind it out. Since you need the Darkmoon Blade (miracle) from the Darkmoon by hitting rank 2...

Thank you sweet baby Jesus.
I pretty much gave up on PvP when I got hit and subsequently stunlocked to death in the middle of my roll. I've said this many times before but Souls's netcode is just garbage.

Just invaded a dude in the High Walls of lothric. Pointed at the crossbow dude 3 times at least, telling host to kill him, while moving away as to not make it look like I am doing an ambush. he just kept attacking me... I won... We could've had a fair fight, dude!

I'm having a really strange experience with this game. Took me about 30-40 tries to kill the
(which is supposed to be easy), but killed
on my second try (which is supposed to be hard).
Should I go to the next area now or head back and clear out t
?

Anyone know where I can get this set?
It used to be called the Black Leather Set in DS1. Not sure what it's named in here, can't find any results searching same terms.
You can buy it from Patches, after he comes to firelink.

Well to overcome that I was actually considering making a new character and just going into the Blue Sentinels covenant whilst staying at a low level in order to maximise the chances of getting summoned early game (when only Way of Blue is available for people) and then after I get that, all the other miracles are not a problem to get on just one character.
I cannot fathom why the drop rate is such trash for this item, though! The Swordgrass is easily done in an hour or two, this one is just ridiculous!
You needed to summon them both and complete that fight. Made it super easy, but I wasn't complaining.

I think its Shadow set and dropped in the Garden.
Those Xbox One online bugs also exist on PS4.
I wonder if I should attempt the Siegward quest with that bug existing. That's what I'm doing tonight.
There was a requirement for joining Rosario?
I think that since both have many similarities in their timings and movesets, the many failed tries on the first directly contribute to "gitting gudder" on the second. I'm pretty sure if those two bosses were swapped in the game, the number of deaths would be swapped too (still much more deaths on the first encounter).
