Are you on PC? Perhaps you're one of the ones who got banned for no reason. Or maybe its the Mound Makers sign.

they should have changed their summon system to the one from bloodborne, they did it with pvp
What about the healing rules in normal PVP like invasions. Im not a huge PVP player but back in DkS1 and 2 it was considered rude to heal, even during invasions, correct?
Then it BB the healing was more tolerated because you could parry it.
I've had a few invasions and they all healed. Is it still considered rude to heal in PVP?

This is why I play ultra-cautious with the bow, and pull most enemies when I see them. Usually, when I get to where they were, I get ambushed but can now deal with the ambush alone.
Seriously, anyone fed up of all the PVE ganks, get a bow. It'll be your best friend.
It's infuriating. I feel like the game hit a massive difficulty spike after the
Catacombs
No I'm on PS4 and I'm trying to someone for a boss but every summon sign I try gives me the "Unable to summon player" bullshit even though for some reason I get summoned quick.

The only thing I didn't care for in that fight is the way the
spells magnitude increased in part two of the fight.

Thats because someone else was faster than you.

The worst part of it is the camera but it's still not nearly as bad as a lot of other fights.

Then next boss
.. We both died. It's been a productive day.

Then next boss
Aldrich, after 4 tries I got the hang of the fight and I was one hit away from winning I just went for it as the arrows came down.
Some of the bosses will respond the same way if you're in the same spot to the left or right of them. It's possible to get G

It's put a sour taste in my mouth. Dark Souls had graceful enemies that could be easily countered when learned. Enemies in this game just have an endless barrage of attacks and it's just tiring. Even the
silver knights
Honestly I didn't feel like the game was cheap at any moment, not even
Aldrich
I think it's very consistently designed. Sure, there are a lot of ambushes but I don't think there's any zone that is close to as bad as Lost Izalith and there's certainly no boss that is as cheap as Bed of Chaos.

Scholar of the First Sin is way worse about hey fuck you here's this really strong guy in a hidden corner with infinite stamina. Short of two bosses I've been going through this game at level 50 just fine and soloing everything. The only reason I haven't cleared those two is mostly because I got bored and decided to invade for a bit.
What level? Granted I'm still at 40, but been getting plenty of summoning action from the Church of the Deep Chapel bonfire. Make sure your settings are as open as possible (worldwide, unrestricted, etc.)

I see people are whining about ambushes in this game too. Have you guys never played a Souls game before? lol
I guess we can stop blaming the "B team" now, at least?

50 with +8 weapons, but I've since dealt with it by moving to somewhere else. I just need three more shackles.
No see the B Team made this too! Miyazaki just put his name on this to make people happy! He's just working on Bloodborne 2 !

So unless I'm getting it wrong you only need two playthroughs to unlock all three endings. Since you could just copy the save to a USB at a decision point junction much like Bloodborne. One of the endings however requires a multitude of steps throughout so you really can't do that for that particular ending.

I died a bunch against
..... And then I realized you can party him. It then became incredibly easy even with the second phase.
was also stupid easy along with the
dudes.
Anyways, just got done with the game. 47 hours. Soul Level 80. Didn't summon a single person for a boss fight. It's a self appointed rule when it comes to the Souls games. Everyone should feel the satisfaction of beating a boss on your own.

I just use an anything goes mentality. I don't get mad if an invader uses mobs or a host ganks me with phantoms.
I am. Because invading now kinda sucks.
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Same. About the same number of hours, more or less (one or two max was for PvP or helping randoms). Level 90 or so.
You can parry
Aldrich
Weird, most of his attacks seemed magical. Or do you mean spell-parry? Interesting...They seem annoyed. I would be too.
I don't know what you expect?
When you invade anything goes really. You're trying to fuck over the host, but he fucks you over instead. /shrug
I'm just disappointed that From kept the system that prioritizes people who have summons in invasions. In one invasion, I had a guy who sat at the bottom of the
Grand Archives
This, basically.
edit:
Sounds like fun? Those encounters, where something unexpected happens, are always the most interesting.
It was fun watching him die I guess. I just prefer Dark Souls 1's invading mechanics I guess, where you can really punish the Estus and I wouldn't be ganked as often.
Alright real talk, I'm near the end of the game and just wanted to share my feelings on the soundtrack so far which I'm going to be honest, has been a little disappointing. It was one of the aspects of the game I was looking forward to the most and while I did have high expectations, I had reason to believe they could easily succeed them. The latest set of tracks accompanying a Souls game, the Bloodborne Old Hunters DLC, were the composers pulling all the stops and hitting all the right, cliche-in-the-best-way notes, a real triumph and series-high. The consensus on Dark Souls 3's soundtrack from people who had their hands on it first was that it was all the way from great to Old Hunter-tier and the latter was pretty much the magic descriptor to get me on board. The second track we heard from this game many months ago, what is now the menu theme, was how I envisioned the rest of the game to be like. Even at under 3 minutes it's one of my favourite pieces and sadly, none of the tracks so far have matched it which may sound a little hyperbolic but I genuinely didn't get the same feelings or same emotions evoked listening to the boss themes compared to that track. In general, I'm still holding out for a track to absolutely blow my face off like Suzuki's Living Failures with its deliciously ham vocal interlude which I feel would fit right in. Mind you a fair amount of the music in the Souls games takes a while for me to fully appreciate and some of the tracks that have stuck to me the most were the ones I fell in love with last so I'm not writing off the music or anything, Kitamura and the team have something to be proud of. It's just that so far, I'm not loving it as much as I had hoped. There's no doubt I'll come to enjoy it a lot more after re-listening to them, especially with the full length versions popping up on Youtube, but even so, it's not likely to have the particular emotions I wanted to have evoked.

Easiest way to punish estus flask is to carry undead hunter charms. A lot of people either forget or don't realize what it does in the middle of a fight and go to use an estus leaving them vulnerable. I'm generally okay with 3v1 as long as it isn't a dedicated gank squad. However when it gets passed that you may as well just black crystal out.

Co-signed. Love using mine. Even took down a boss with only a bow. Pretty fun to use, and especially useful in
Anor Londo when you have to get passed that cunty Silver Knight
Yeah, I started carrying Undead hunter charms now. But it kinda feels like most invasions are gank squads. I would invade and they would have summons around the corner waiting to back stab me.
Well there are also way more players today then back then which makes everything a bit more... like a party.

How does anyone win a 3x1? Are the 3 guys nerfed somehow?
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
Ganking can be awesome, hahah.
Well they can only carry half their estus and their stat is adjusted to the host but other than that, especially when using password, nah.
The price you pay for trying to hamper someone's progress, I'd say.
You have to outplay them.
I've won a couple of 2x1 battles, but I don't think I could handle a 3x1.

This is the hardest wall I've hit in any of the Souls games. I can constantly get him down to the last 20% of health but he just goes ape shit on me from that point and spams the arrow attack followed by a sweeping attack that removes 90% of my health as soon as I get close. I must of had 40 tries over the last couple of days. Today is the day though I can feel it
You try getting back stabs. If that doesn't work, then you run like no tomorrow.
