Animation is not slower, but enemies are much faster IMO. That's why you got that feeling.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. FUCK YEAH. I'ma get him tonight when I get home.
Yeah, this is probably what it is. Less breathing room.
Enemies are definitely way more aggressive in this game.
And powerful.
At fully powered Estus, and with around 1000 Health, you get 9 full extra health bars from Estus, (10.8 with the Estus Ring).
In Bloodborne, your 20 vials only gave you 7 extra health bars.
So I'm SL55 and I just beat the
. That whole dealio with the
was really sweet. I rather enjoyed that.
1) Where abouts am I in the game?
2) I do about 220 damage(?) per (1-hand) swing. I feel like although I can take down enemies very easily, invaders are harder. How am I doing in the damage department? (Using a +4 Heavy broadsword)

I don't know why but I'm really enjoying Curved Swords in this game. Maybe because they aren't forcing me to do the slash backflip, when I'd rather be doing the kick.
You mean just like every OT of popular games that got recently released? Never would've guessed.

You never had to upgrade blood vials though. Some of the bone shards can be tough to find unless you know where to look imo.
BB you also had a health recovery mechanic, and I feel that (speaking very generally) it was easier to avoid taking damage, since the game was designed around a certain playstyle.
Not saying that BB is easier than DS3 or vice versa, though, just a general comment.
55?????
Holy shit!
Either I was WAY underleveled for that fight at SL 30... Or you are way over leveled... ^_^;

Anyone else get into the Drang Hammers by the way? I'm really into them right now and will infuse with Heavy next time I get to play. I'm sitting at 25 STR right now I think and around level 42/43.

Yeah. I understand the differences. But they are at least comparable in how powerful they are, outside of the first hour or two of the game.
In DS2 (namely SotFS), Estus Shards and Bone Dust were kind of distributed around the game, but DS3 there's definitely a mix with Shards being front-heavy and bone dust doing a ton for the first few and then very little for the last five.
Yeah, I wish it was slightly slower in pvp. It's too easy to run away and chug.
Suggestion on low stat requirement weapons good for infusing with chaos/lightning/ dark later?
Doing an int/faith focused run. Obviously not gonna be the best damage but I already played phys only.
Feeling like a DS1 level 1 pyro using reinforced club and great combustion on everything

I'm glad Dark Souls 3 got rid of those pointless shitty consumables from 2. Outside the Life Gems, Human Effigy and Herbs all the other consumables served no purpose as they take a long ass time to use and having no use while invading. I've only use them in a no bonfire run but other than that, it was a valuable as rubbish.
Good thing this isn't Sloth Souls 2.

Weird, because it's totally my favorite, hoesntly you shouldn't try to estus right in front of bosses, its a bad idea, running away from him is rather quite effective in putting enough distance to get a free heal or two, and his overhead strikes are very easy to run around instead of rolling through. Also the final boss
gets a way worse combo that basically one shot me at sl50 with 22vgr and the ring of favor.
I've tried this to get items to my lower level characters. Frankly, while it does work, FROM put in place a little detail that the higher the level difference between summoner and sumonee and the higher the activity in the area, the longer it takes for the summon sign to appear. Like, it takes 20-30 minutes sometimes.
I didn't mind them, they made the game way easier.
Seems like it has similar issues to BB with friend coop.
Eh. The problem is if I get summoned, I'd have to probably kill 2 or 3 phantoms and I just want to get this covenant reward out of the way.
Not sure where you got I was chugging right in front of the boss but healing on him wasn't hard. I've beaten the game already and bitched about that boss' combo too. Yeah, it does more damage, its annoying too. This fight just wasn't fun for me, feels like so many bosses just never stop attacking with these enormous arcing swings. It wasn't a hard fight it just felt really unoriginal and definitely not fun.
i saw 'Assman' and 'Hatsune Miku'
The name censoring in this game is totally messed up.
I invaded "xxxPussyHunterxxx" but you still can't name your character "Knight" because "nig" gets censored.
So many people named K***ht Artorias
Yeah, that knight shit made me laugh.
Was it the Rio Grande Walkers?
I chuckled the other day when I was summoned in to help "Attempt2"...
I guess he messed up his first character...
those were the days when they seemed hard but now it's just trivial.
PUTIN used to invade me in DS2
Question about Yuria Quest Line:
Also what is the best upgrade path for the Uchigatana? Currently its at +5, should I infuse it and if so when is the best time too and with what type? What is considered the best katana? I just found the Dark Blade too but it doesnt seem to be any better, could be wrong though.
I found Anri looking for Horace in the Catacombs and told her I havent seen him so far. Went to the Smouldering Lake and found Horace and Killed him. Was I supposed to kill him? And if so what is my next step? I just started Boreal Valley and found Anri again and this time she gave me a ring but didnt ask about Horace. Am I still on track to Marrying her?

Is it inarguable though that some bosses in DS3 do more damage in a single attack/grab than those in any other game in the series.

NK wrecked me again, so i gave up and went off to fight the final boss. Holy shit it was a good fight, beat it first time and all but...even though it didn't feel amazingly tough (still tough, just not top 3 toughest souls bosses tough) it felt like an almost perfect swansong to the series. Back to NK now...
was your character name, 'Crimea'?
Lots of bosses in this game seem to be combo machines that chew me up and spit me out. I'm about to go up about the final boss, so wish me luck lol.

okay. Watchers of the Abyss. WTF.
Insane range. Hit like a truck. No use of shield, because, well, fuck this game design : shield and evade on the same resource. ha, who thought that was a good idea lmao. Their heavy sword attack nullified your stamina.
Can't parry. They have faster recover than me with a single hand weapons. Fair.
Insane agressivity. Game never connect back stab for some reason on these fuckers.
They are two. For some reason a trash sometimes appear and take agro, sometimes it doesn't take aggro, sometimes it agro me. okay........
I can sometimes cheese it with a Pike, and just poke poke poke and they prey to evade to recharge stamina and poke poke poke again.
Then Phase 2. The guy has the auto lock on his attacks ? no use of evasive rolls he always connects his attacks right on my fucking face.
This is some next level bullshit boss. This is Ludwig all over again. 3 hours on this fucking bullshit of spam fest.
I enjoy larger boss much more than fast agressive bullshit fuckers

For phase 1, just run away and they'll fight each other, leaving you free to struggle through phase 2. Also, summons if required.
