Catacombs or Cathedral?

 

[Momentary]

Are you embered?

Yeah. I know that PC gamers were banned for no reason a few weeks ago, but I don't get a message saying that. And last night people came into my game. I must have some kind of port issue.

 

[theSlacker]

I just don't understand how darkmoon/blue sentinels work. The top guy on the leader board for it is a few levels above me and rose by another 100 turn ins since yesterday and I've had it on and have just been running around for hours with no summon at all. Do you not get summoned if you have killed all the bosses/are embered?

~asking again for a new page~

No. The game blocks you after beating dsa anyways. It's really only worth it if you just /have/ to have some chunks early.

Someone just wrecked me with a

Glaive. Not a single attack was close to hitting me, with me being out of range. Either its hit boxes are fucked or the servers are lagging.

Nameless King

is some serious horse shit. He feels like a Devil May Cry boss in a Souls game. Your shield is essentially useless since all his attacks deal lightning damage and will just cleave through your stamina and his thrusting spear grab will just go right through it like a regular grab, and it feels like you have to be *extremely* precise in your rolls in a way the rest of the game does not require. Most of the time I die is because I rolled a quarter second too late. This kind of execution isn't required for any other boss in the game

I've said a lot of enemies and bosses feel like Bloodborne enemies and bosses with their extreme speed and combo strings, yet you aren't really equipped properly with the tools to do that. Equip Load was changed up so you can roll well below 70% but

For some reason that boss just glitch died on me. I was running to the top of the tower and it just died, I did have a summoned partner maybe he did something crazy, I dunno.

 

[nicoga3000]

Is there a performance thread somewhere? My game was stuttering really bad just now in one area, over and over and over. I left the area and it was STILL stuttering. Makes it super hard to kill stuff.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Really? Affecting stagger resistance during the last moments of a roll or an heavy attack?
I refuse to believe that this is how poise was intended in DS3. It just has to be bugged or got accidently deactivated or something. Because the way it currently "works" is so shitty.

That would be such a nonsensical and stupid implementation of poise I can't believe it. In every way inferior to how poise worked in the first game.

Stupid or not, I disagree that it's inferior because poise in DS1 was way stupider for the following reason:

I don't like how poise worked in DS1. I'd rather heavy armor just offer respectable resistances instead. The hyper armor I gain from using BKGA is incredibly useful enough as it is. Tanking hits while standing around, or chugging, has always been really dumb.

This. Fine ok if you shrug off dagger hits, but poise in DS1 was just too strong and too broken.

I was playing it carefully like a Souls game, biding my time, checking for openings, avoiding hits. Then they started filling the room with a curse fog and I got cursed and died. xD

Went back, mashed mashed mashed almost blindly, and won in seconds. Stupid fight really.

Great for low level runs for the early strength +5 ring as well.

I used a Lothric Knight Shield, since it only needs 18 strength but it still has 100 physical resistance and very high lightning resistance.

I found the fight to be quite fair and, as mentioned earlier, easier than some of the earlier fights. He's nowhere near as aggressive as

Spoiler

Champion Gundyr

for example.

You just need to get the timing of your dodges perfect, bearing in mind that pretty much all of his attacks have a slow start up. Just watch him and hit roll as soon as he moves. If you know he's going to do a double, triple attack (trust me, you'll know, just learn his moves), then do two rolls instead of one.

Yuck, people always land on a level that lets them be overpowered as hell. It's way more fun at lv50 where you're not a jack of all trades with 40/40/25/20 stats.

So I joined the mound makers through the cage guy, but was wondering if its possible to complete Sirris' quest if I kill the Rotted Tree.

Well, thought I had the final boss beaten, then

he gains a second whole health bar and basically turns into Gwyn. Absolutely annihilated me at that point.

Ok I beat him. Christ. Havel shield helped somewhat. Think I died like 15 times, probably 3rd for deaths in souls games next to Allant and man eaters

Okay, so I'm looking at a couple of weapons to replace my Dark Sword just because it is boring and I hate it. Would any of these even come close to its power/efficiency?
