I infused a weapon with fire but didn't actually upgrade for like half the game. Of course, you can do it as early as you can get materials. They may seem scarce at first, but later on they rain from the sky they give you so many upgrade materials.
Whenever you feel like it.

Sharp buffs just one state refined buffs two.
There isn't one point in heavy and sharp stats in most cases. Refined is almost always better.

lol....
elevator shortcut, yo
I dunno. In a bizarre way, it reminds me of Four Kings. Just a silly DPS race, but easier.
OrReminds me of...
Okay not really... but those gestures should still be in the game.

it says to quit the game and sign in into xbl even tho I'm already signed in????
I'm talking like Dark Souls 2's arena. Something like that.

Here's the video, I did laughably bad in phase 1. I came close to saying screw it and starting over but phase 2 went really well.

you could swap the rubbish icon with repair powder icon in this game and nobody would notice.

Meh, I prefer the more organic and player created approach then the game telling me "okay this is that pvp duel area for pvp duels. One way feels very video gamey and the other feels more like souls.
But who knows what the DLC will bring.

Alright, made the leap of faith and just purchased this game. Downloading as we speak.
I've played DS1 and DS2 as a heavy armor Strength and shield class, but I'm considering going Pyro with a Dex weapon in DS3. Is that a viable build? Or should I stick with a heavy armor Strength build? I heard magic was kind of broken in this game.

Welp now that that stuff is live, time to try Darkmoon again. Been holding off on doing anything else since I don't want to level any more of of what could be it's summoning range.

I got invaded by some player who appeared to be gliding around the ground, his arms and legs motionless. If he even came close to me, my shield would be knocked in the air and then a series of attacks would occur. Is this cheating, or is this a legitimate move set/style? He killed me and a summon with little to no effort and the best I could muster was to get him down to 25% health.
If this is a legitimate move set/style, then PVP can fuck right off. It's nearly impossible to win because you cannot tell what is going on, be it healing or attacks.
Roll into them/behind them.

I can respect that.
One thing I'd like added, though I don't it'll happen, is more gestures. DS2 had some good ones that are sadly not present.
I seriously struggled with
last night, didn't manage to kill them in about ~6 attempts, I don't think any other boss has taken me more than 3 so far. It feels good to be challenged but I've barely seen discussion about this boss, is he not considered hard or am I just bad? I realised his 3 hit combo is pretty easy to dodge so I've completely removed my greatshield for better rolling, but that second phase is really getting to me. My second last attempt I finally killed
and then he got ressed to 3/4 HP and I died, so I presume you need to get them both low similar to the Throne Watcher/Defender fight. Any tips for this fight? For what it's worth I'm using the Butcher Blade +10, love this thing. Also I LOVE the concept/idea/lore behind it, really cool.
My last attempt
Lorian & Lothric
Lorian
My last attempt
at the start of phase 2 Lorian teleported to me & hit me and then Lothric hit me with his soul spear spell and I instantly died. That was me done for the night.
Try hitting them from behind if you can so you can damage Lothric. Once Lothric goes down the fight ends, won't matter how much HP Lorian has left. Once you have Lorian's HP low try to get the last hit in with a nearly full stamina bar so you can wail on Lothric as soon as Lorian goes down.
Absolutely this. I wanted to see how much mayhem could go on at that spot, so I embered, waited for an invasion and had the Way of Blue covenant on. I don't know how long the brawl went on for but I was invaded by no less than five players (not at once obviously) and had two sentinels summoned in that time. Someone eventually ended the fun by knocking me off the steps to plunge to my death.
I've had a blast using pyromancy as a supplement to melee, eventually using it for most everything. I can't speak for dex specifically, because I kept my strength and dex stats as low as possible and did a raw weapon infusion on a longsword. But pyromancy itself is pretty good, and you get decent pyromancies and rings early enough so it doesn't feel like a big struggle.
I managed to get 23 Sentinel summons on my way to beating the game on my second character but as soon as I take my weapons to +7 / +10 the summons stop.

i had them on for 50 hours and never got summoned. way of the blue worked though.
I've run around with the Sentinels covenant equipped for probably a third of my time playing the game and have never once been summoned. I throw on Way of Blue when I really don't feel like being bothered deep into an area, and I'd say help has been summoned about half of the time.
I can't imagine the demand for Sentinels being huge as I figure if people don't want to be invaded they (most) will probably not be embered.

100% durability does nothing. Honestly it's nothing but a pain in other games and I hated it.

I had the same concern, but apparently it can be tweaked for the same type of input? I dunno, we'll see.

Wow. Turns out NK was easier to kill on my own.

Just finished! What a goddamn ride. Loved it, I felt it click at a few points. Got the
ending just by stumbling through that quest so...yay? I am actively dressing like a hobo so that ending cinematic was particularly absurd.
Let's go again!

Oh interesting, I didn't consider doing a raw infusion. What stats do you need to raise for Pyromancy? Is it both Int and Faith?
Ahh, knowing that the fight ends with Lothric makes me feel a little better. I got him down to about 20% once he jumped off Lorian but when he started casting a spell I thought he was going to use a big AoE spell and kill me so I ran away, oops. I'll get 'em tonight, thanks.

Cool thanks. Maybe I'll raise Dex/Str to the point where I can wield the weapons I want then do a raw infusion and pump points into Int/Fth. Or maybe I'll try to pump up Dex concurrently. Bah, who knows! I'll figure it out as I go.
Strafe to his right. Parry the very wide fire sword swings.
That's what dedicated Pyro characters tend to do.

I've been running around the archives for 30 minutes now and so far nothing. Think I'm just poisoned.
Edit: >:C to your edit.
Yeah, and there was some big post on reddit recently where someone showed specifically that you get the most benefit from leveling Int and Faith together rather than one or the other. I think it may be like other weapons, where the most benefit comes from upgrading the pyro glove than relying on skill scaling. That's just my feeling from leveling Faith a lot, then the glove, then Int to eventually catch up to Faith. I didn't do any actual testing or anything. Don't forget Attunement -- I really cranked that up as I relied more and more on pyro. So there's a lot to balance with a build like this.
Regarding the melee weapon, I thought I'd eventually level Faith enough to swap out the raw infused sword for a blessed one, but even with my Faith now well above 30, a similarly upgraded raw weapon is still way better. That was unexpected. But with my char around level 80 now, that hardly matters -- my pyro is strong enough to melt fools left and right.

Thought it was really hard this time around... way more than in the past games.
Just spent the last 2 days trying to kill the N
K
, with my slow as hell greatsword, without a shield (finally beat the prick). So after struggling so much with him, I decided to watch some YouTube videos, to see how others beat him. Found some guy beating him with a base level crossbow, going in thinking that must have been hard, only to find he can't deal with range fighting at all, the guy barely got hit. Kinda made me super sad he becomes a joke, if you fight him at range.
