can we no longer have fight clubs? Seems like I found no fight clubs today, and once you summon one person the signs disappear.
End is very important, but if you never feel like you're out of stamina, then don't bother.

Nope
Killed 30+ knights last night with 415 item discovery and didn't get a single one.
You may need to use a dried finger.
Just as a point of interest, I had to kill approximately 1200 Silver Knights across three playthroughs and I never ever got summoned either, no joke.

I'm playing the Japanese version. Don't know if that makes any difference but before the patch I was getting roughly 2 an hour and yesterday I got 10+ in two hours.

it's pretty shit
Idk, may just be random. I mean, I've gotten swordgrass from all three enemies next to the Keep Ruins bonfire on a single run, but there's been several runs where I didn't get any. Maybe the patch changed something and I'm just insanely unlucky.
personally I think every covenant item should be dropping like crazy at 400+ item discovery as a matter of principle

Dried finger, I had 5 invaders in my world today.

What did Dark Souls 2 do better in this regard? Wasn't it similar income as an invader killing host+phantoms as Dark Souls 1, just no infinitely-upward invasions and host/phantoms got a little less for killing the invader?
Nah, cause then it would be even easier to overlevel.

How so? Dark Souls 3 doesn't use Soul Memory, so you're not automatically forced into a different matching range. You can spend those souls elsewhere (or just ignore them).

Give you a reward based off of the opponent's soul memory. Much more than the often 400 souls you get for killing a phantom in DS3.

I love all these invaders that resort to using enemies to win when they realize they can't take us baha
thanks!
thanks!
Getting really fucking tired of invading and then there are like 5 other phantoms. The mayhem is fun but I just wanna get this covenant shit done.
Also fun to spawn into a group of three that rapes you immediately. Way to load me into the right place, game.

Well, if you're teaming up against the invader, they're well within their rights to use enemies to their advantage. You shouldn't feel proud about winning or almost winning against an invader when you're outnumbering them two or three to one.
I just finished the game and loved it.
Do enemies become that much harder on NG+ and beyond?
I got all four endings by restoring a save just before activating the last bonfire. My final and "canonical" ending is the Usurpation of Fire one. My character looked like a total badass when all the hollows vowed before her!
Now I'm going to get all the items I'm missing before starting NG+. I'm missing an Estus Shard and some items in the lava section, including a few pyromancies and spells I want for the Achievements. I don't know if I want to get all the rings... Some of them are from Covenants (I have zero interest in PvP) and some are only available on NG++.

Why would they not if they're outnumbered? You want them to fight your group by themselves?
If you want to get the platinum and don't want to go into NG+, I can drop all of the rings for you (PS4) and thus you should be able to do clean up (assuming you still have a few of the boss souls for the pyromancies, sorceries and miracles entailed).

Catacombs were torture. Didn't have any fun there. I wouldn't play through that level again for a billion dollars.

It's amazing for invasions. Holy shit. So much fun
Finally got around to finishing NG++ for the Platinum. Ended up at level 219 with stats at 39/27/40/75/40/40/10/30/7 just so I could wear full Havel's and still roll for shits and giggles.
It's too bad poise is turned off, will be fun to play around with if they ever fix it.
Took me a while, 105 hours, 56 minutes played. Mostly because I was intent on killing every single enemy and collecting every single item on each run. Got a lot of levels just off +Soul items in NG+ and NG++, you end up picking up lots of pretty huge ones if you grab everything.

After playing Nioh, Ive wanted to play souls
I avoided this game because I thought I was tired of the series, but it really seems like I just didnt like Bloodborne.
Read about the patch worsening ps4 offline.. is there a lot of patching still needed?

I'm talking primarily about overleveling for pve, not pvp. The game already becomes easy enough if you do co op and pvp for a while and cash in on the souls.
A heavy weapon rips through those damned shotel skeletons. If you don't stagger them they are a giant pain. Also fire works well.
I rather liked the level though, and wish it was more complex, tbh.

That's interesting, I'd love that feature. I'm doing co-op and basically boss rushing

Just story, visit either
you nubs, skeletons are super weak to blunt weapons.
any mace/club 1 or 2 shots them.
in demons souls 4-1 you could easily beat them with your fists!

I use enemies and running around the map just to waste the time of hosts that can't win without gank squads. I know I'm not going to win, but it's going to take you forever to catch me. :3
Giant tree seed does nothing since I can escape mobs just as easily.
Don't think so. I got ONE earlier today but I was not farming them at that time.
Anyway I was ecstatic. I decided to make today a national holiday on that occasion "the day the proof of concord kept dropped".

It's not exactly the same in DS3. I saw a video with Epicnamebro fighting them and it took about 10-12 punches to beat a single skeleton.
I don't use blunt weapons so I wouldn't know such. But it's easy to see that heavy weapons stun them easily and fire works well if you don't use blunt weapons. They're not particularly difficult as long as you stun them. And the regular enemies go down in two hits anyway.
Also, DS1 required Blessed weapons to keep them from resurrecting.
Did you not believe that it was an improvement over the previous entries in the series then? I'm shocked, if not.
Personally, I enjoyed it. It felt like a throwback to the times when I used to constantly PVP in Dark Souls, especially with the mix-ups in the first phase, it felt like a prototypical jack of all trades build in Dark Souls 1 that was brought to life. Of course, the AI is never going to give the same sort of battle as a competent player did back in the day, but it was a cool 'flashback' of sorts for me nonetheless. Still, I will agree that the fight is certainly not the best the series or even this game has to offer but I did find it was a HUGE improvement over the previous final bosses.
Here's hoping they go all Old Hunters DLC with the content they have planned for Dark Souls 3.
keeps kicking my shit in. Been stuck here for daysaldrich
You against summoning? If not, I would throw my name in the hat to help assuming you're on PlayStation of course.
So I removed the estus flask from my dpad inventory. Plus I do not know how to equip firebombs aside from going through the entire menu.
This is my first souls game, but it seems to me that the hardest thing about this game is the inventory menu...
Could anyone provide some help, thanks!
