I think it was just balancing out all the points you need to dump into ADP.

It's the same? I thought that might be the case. I think I remember reading on IW's blog when BB came out that it had the same ratio, so figured DS3 would follow suit - it just feels more expensive!
Maybe Emerald Herald had self-esteem issues and gave her services away too cheaply?!
Oh I don't completely agree with the bolded bit. The Blessed and Crescent equivalent are complete crap. Well okay, I haven't used Simple infusions yet, but Blessed just... sucks this time around. The damage is complete crap and the HP regen is too low to be worth the trade-off.
Yeah they are crap that's why I said some of them need readjustment.
They don't need to buff scaling/damage but the special effect to make it worth the trade-off. Make the recovery scales better with upgrade level (let's be crazy: +10HP/second at +10). Perhaps add status effect resist with blessed weapons and better elemental resist with the magic equivalent to the mix, something in these lines.
I don't mind low damage since it's not the point to do straight high weapon damage with these builds. They would be way more interesting with a more useful effect like in Demon's Souls. Actually I find the fact that blessed weapons do 100% physical damage now interesting.
I expect FromSoft to change these upgrades in a future patch. They must do something.
Just breathe... It's going to be okay.
Realize and know that when you get to the end of the game and want your Trophies or Achievements you're going to need to farm items off enemies for RARE drops...
You'll farm for 1 hour, have 300,000+ Souls and not even care... Because in that time you found 1 of the 30 items you need...
Souls become worthless... The new currency is measured in
Proof of a Concord Kept
20 more to go...
Sigh.

Not necessarily. Not all of his hits are big. Also, you can actually wear full northern or fallen knight armor at SL1 and stay below fat roll.
I also used Lloyd's Sword ring on my SL1 run. Prevents a lot of one-hit kills.
For late game bosses though, lots of 1-shotters.
No you can survive most attacks. I think he had one or two moves that could one-shot me.
Having such low stamina is the bigger problem so far. Also shields being next to useless since you don't have enough strength to hold a 100% physical shield. And even if you could you'd get run out of stamina while blocking really quickly!
I need to go get Lloyd's sword and shield rings tonight. Made it up to the cathedral last night.
I'm not looking forward to late game bosses being able to one-shot me with most of their moves!
:/
A possibly stupid question regarding trophy hunting:
on my second playthrough right now (new char, not ng+) is it even possibly to get all masters of pyro/sorcery/miracle before ng+? Afraid if I start ng+ and have to farm covenant items requiered for trophys, maybe I'll be overleveled for invading for example?

Shield ring you buy from the handmaiden after giving her Paladin's ashes! In case you didn't know.
It's not as bad I made it sound honestly. Hardest boss for me was probably

If you have the patience for it (I BARELY do...) you can just stay at a distance from her and punish her jumping attack that she uses to cover the distance. It's the easiest one to punish for me. With the xbone framerate issues, it feels insanely hard for me to stay close and dodge through all her weird, delayed, and long combos.
That's how I beat her at SL1.
Wait. Why do I need this currency?

It's broken though and some players (like me) NEVER get summoned by the game...
So the only way to get 30 otherwise is to spend ENDLESS hours farming them from
silver knights
I've found that most bosses in DS3 (and probably the series) can be safely dispatched by distancing yourself and only punishing jump attacks. Just takes a bit longer.

Aw man, trying to decide which Black Knight weapon to pour these twinkling stones into....
Axe seems to do the most damage on a 40/40 build.

I think Vendrick just lowered the souls taxes to encourage people getting OP.
I was disappointed the new level up waifu didn't have four paragraphs of skippable dialog this time
and yeah, I got to NG+ at 200+, if not 250+ my first time around
I remember hitting level 100 and wasn't even at Drangleic castle thinking "man this game is about to end"
That's _probably_ the rationale, but it is not proportional to the cheapness.
So if you added a stat to Dark Souls, and wanted to compensate by making the levels cheaper, you'd drop the requirements across the board proportionally, like 1/10 cheaper or so.
So getting to level 2 costs 657 in Demon, and 500 in Dark 2, which is slightly more than predicted by taking the proportional increase in stats, but ok.
But level 100 costs like 60k in demon.....and only 13k in dark 2 which is ridic cheap.
I think they just wanted people to level up more often. Feels good, man.
Oh. I'm playing through Steam and I don't care about trophies. Cool.
So I beat
last night for the first time (Yes, I know I am way behind). Did From just listen to everyone that thought (Bloodborne Spoilers)
? Or is there another Boss like that in the game.
That fight was incredibly easy and I really enjoyed the Bloodborne version of it.
Deacons of the Deep
Rom was too difficult

I've been trying but she hasn't done any jumping attacks. Only slides and pokes
I accept it's my fault and I need to get good but the tracking on some of the hits is really annoying lol.

I think I got this to work on my playthrough (not intentionally):
I wanted to save Anri this time, so upon reaching Yorshka's church, I killed the Chameleon-using pilgrim. I lit the bonfire but didn't rest or use it to warp away, just continued on (was playing with a friend too anyway).
One thing that I might need to note is that the bonfire leading to Irithyll Dungeon is fogged off so I couldn't lit it. But my friend died to the black knights, so I went back to that bonfire and lit it, just to have it, and then trekked back to the beginning of the level to grab my friend (who hadn't progressed into the level at all at this point), and then we continued on, killing the black knights.
Then just as we exit that part, and start fighting the dogs and invisible assholes that pew-pew magic at you, we get invaded by the Pale Shade of Londor. So we kill the invader and I got their claws.
Then we reach the shortcut, kill the Pontiff etc. I finally return to Firelink, spend my souls, and then go talk to Yuria. She is mad at me and says "there's nothing more to be said". So I attacked her then. She actually killed me, lol, but when I respawned at Firelink she was still there and aggro'd so I could fight her again, killed her and got her weapon and ashes.

LOL, holy shit. Seems like it's the Latin American version that got the shaft. Weird. You'd think Latin Americans would prefer using a Spain localization over this crap, so why not simply give them that?

That's also how I beat
Nameless King, Soul of Cinder, and Pontiff (parrying the jumps).
I felt so good when I started discovering this strategy on my own!

Anyone else having problems with coop? Whenever I'm getting summoned it fails, no matter where I leave my sign. Playing on xbone.

Damn the axe absolutely slays, and I don't even have enough twinkling to go +5 yet. That 2hand R2 juggles even some of the bigger enemies like paper bags lol.
Not to mention it has the axe built in buff with L2... Crazy.
Up next I'm going to try a faith build with cresent axe (normal one) and/or a lightning lothric Knight sword. Sunlight spears can't be THAT bad.

So just had a bonkers experience with Champion Gundyr on NG+. It was my first time fighting him on NG+ and I had Sword Master and a sunbro with me (I just enjoy the jolly co-operation).
Anywho, Gundyr starts beating on Sword Master and I'm doing fine getting my hits in. Sword Master gets pinned against the left hand of the arena (high sided) and dies. Moments later, Gundyr clips through the wall up and away, leaving me and sunbro stood there bemused for a good 15 seconds until he was declared dead.
Obviously a bit of a cheap finish but amusing all the same. Nice that another player was there to see it too.

Please answer this very important question for me:
Are there spiders in DS3? I know about the big monkey/wolf/spider looking thing in the cathedral where the 2 giants are. Is that it or are there more spiders?
My phobia can affect my ability to finish and like the game.

So, I started my second character over last weekend after wrapping everything up with my first.
I decided on starting as a cleric, focusing on strength and faith. I originally had intentions of slinging lightning to supplement my strength, but from what I read and what everyone tells me, offensive miracles are a joke this time around. I guess we can't always have vanilla DaS2 lightning, can we? With that in mind, I'm wondering what comes next for this character. Do I put him on a path for pyro? Or do I just continue onward with a strength character that heals? I've always liked spells in these games, but sorcery in DaS3 doesn't seem to be for me.
I usually play dex characters, I really like weapons like rapiers. I'm sort of lost in all of the strength weapons. Can anyone recommend decent strength weapons that aren't incredibly slow, like huge clubs and swords? I really don't know if I see myself carrying this regular broadsword the whole way. (I'm currently in
btw).

There are wolf spiders and then there are these horrific insects that look like drowned bodies from a distance but become strange Grudge-looking J-horror creepies when aggro'd.
