You absolutely can go to the catacombs and beat it as your first level or first level(s). I usually do the Burg first, but I recently did a cleric character and went to the Catacombs after Burg to get Rite of Kindling since IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, catacombs is super easy.

if you're going to wear rags then there's no point to level a stat that allows you to wear heavy armor
unless you meant Vigor which is HP, then it's fine

>>170068528
you probably had the divine sword you got from the undead dragon with the master key. You expect new players to know this? It can take several hours to clear the graveyard and then several days to clear the catacombs

>>170068557
Get to 66 Str, infuse your weapons with Heavy and twohand those bad boys. Pick up Power Within and RTSR if you're a real man.

If you take painting as a substitute for videogames, then she's pretty much a 4chan user.

What a useless question. How far did you get in those 13 hours? What are you having problems with?

>>170069151
the last thing i remember doing was beating the deacons of the deep and then going across some bridge to a courtyard area where the were fast enemies with swords. its been a long time since i played any. as for what was wrong the game was just so underwhelming. everything was in a fucking castle and the atmosphere felt the same the entire time. also a lot of parts felt cheap; not actually difficult or skillful, just cheap.

>>170068657
Nah, I didn't.
You can go for the Necromancers or kick the respawning skeletons into the shafts.

I plan on keeping it at L70 for Pontiff PVP, so I don't think I can grab power within. It's in GA, right?

>>170069337
another thing is i was using the katana or uchigata whatever its called and going with a dex build

>>170063593
Hey, you still here? Sorry about the delay, I went out to eat. I made it to farron swamp and found the +1 wolf ring. Since you'll be twinking, if you do happen to do farron invasions, would you mind giving me the wolf ring when you reach rank 2? Otherwise I'd have to farm about 24 wolf's blood swordgrass.

>>170069364
You should fill in all of your armor slots with something otherwise you take a huge damage penalty. Ragged mask, master's attire/gloves and loincloth should still look good.

If I want to make an INT build, is it worth it to go for heysels pick or should i just do court sorcerer staff/crystal longsword?
Already have an MLGS build, not going to make another one

>>170069337
The first few levels are actually pretty samey, that's true. The game doesn't start to really diverge in terms of atmosphere and design for a little while, so it's a fair complaint. Right after the Deacons (or before, if you switch around) is the obligatory shitty swamp area, and then all the good parts of the game are immediately after. I remember being blown away by Irithyll just for the change in atmosphere myself.

If you're like most people, most of that feeling of taking tons of cheap hits is the removal of poise. Like Bloodborne, it bothers you less once you adapt to mashing dodge the instant you get hit and never trying to force openings against multiple enemies, but it does leave a bit of a cheesy taste in a lot of people's mouths when some faggot dog nips your heels and locks you into a staggerfest, so you feel like you have to play reactively against common mobs for the next hour. If you REALLY hate it, try playing with a poise enabled weapon, since they patched that.

I'd bet actual money I'm right. If you don't believe me, download the CE table and switch that shit back on.

tl;dr: the levels do get much better and more varied, the gamestyle is a thing you get used to, or patch out if you aren't on console

>>170068591
Because tits>ass

Post Sister Friede feet!

>>170069620
alright ill just force myself through it some more if im that close to the game opening up. sounds like i already went through most of the awful shit (the swamp, i cant imagine worse level design than that). thanks anon

>>170069560
you get a damage penalty for having a spot empty?

>>170069707
In DS1 terms, you've basically rung one Bell of Awakening.

Except the game doesn't drop massively in quality after the midpoint. The difficulty just spikes and stays there. Prepare your anus for snow town.

Katanas are also actually really, really bad in 3. Try a different weapon.

>>170069719
A little, its quite exaggerated by everyone though.

>>170069802
whats a good replacement weapon thats still fast

>>170069719
He means defense. For some fucked up reason, your flat defense is lowered for having no armour in slots; more for multiple empty slots. Being naked is practically a death sentence, as you'll take tremendously more damage than just the lower absorption would imply. It's even visible on your status screen.

>>170069836
Any straight sword(Longsword in particular)

>>170069836
The reason katanas are bad is that they're actually pretty slow. If you're wanting to stick to dex, and still in the early game, try out the estoc, corvian greatknife, lothric knight straight sword, great scythe, or lothnic knight spear, for either much better speed, or reach, or both.

>>170069926
>>170069965
alright cool will try
i want to like this game i really do. i mean i paid full price and pre-ordered it when it first came out. btw is there an fps cap in 3 or was it just at 30 because my old pc was shit?

>>170069965
You can substitute a great corvian scythe for the great scythe if you can get one to drop, if you're okay with a shorter reach as well. Bleed gets cheesy later on. Overall though, be warned that scythes are actually very good in this game, but have a rather strict sweet spot mechanic. If you aren't consistently landing the sweet spot, your damage will suck ass.

>>170070024
Standard for PC is 60.

Why is Gundyrs Halberd so much fucking fun?

>that heat seeking WA

>>170070076
can it go up to 144 tho>?

>>170070024
Your old PC was bad. It should run well over 30 on even mediocre hardware.

Last bit of advice: level your VIG to a bare minimum of 27 by the end of Mr. Bones' Wild Ride. People often hugely underestimate the gains and then flip their shit when the next area(s, there's a hidden passage) demolishes their HP bar instantly.

>>170070118
it's capped at 60

>>170070203
oh well thats good enough i guess
>>170070139
ye i was pumping all my points into dex and hp. how much do i need to diversify stats? those were pretty much the only two stats i put points into .

>>170069965
All of those suck except the lothric straight sword

>>170070251
If you're not going for quality, then you should mostly only worry about DEX, VIG and END. VIT is basically useless to you. Since you can't upgrade armour anymore, its value is almost entirely for poise, and if you're using a dex weapon, you aren't going to be trading (poise only works mid-attack now), so heavy armour isn't great for you. If you find you have points left over, you can always throw a few into grabbing a spell or two. LCK you don't touch unless you're doing a very specific build. INT and FTH are the usual except they soft cap for casting at 60.

>tricked by a guy running away with a katana
What's the dumbest thing you've fell for, /dsg/?

>>170070319
I was going to say something about how he's still early in the game, but:

>corvian greatknife
>anything less than fantastic in both PvE and PvP

Confirmed shitposter.

is Sully a twink?

>>170070472
>PvE
no
>and PvP
yes

>>170070391
what is the best scythe i can get that early in the game?

>>170070465
Sacred Flame glitch, he was 2-3 hits away from death and i thought i could nab him quickly through his cast.
>Oneshot
i still feel stupid about that

>>170070528
Anything with fast attacks and a quick dodge cancels blenders the shit out of PvE. You can already stagger lock almost every enemy to death with a straight sword, using the knife just basically gives you the same thing with a little less reach and damage, but better stamina use and disgustingly powerful crits for little weight. You can also slap rouge on it to have a slightly less powerful bandit's knife with better reach. It's perfectly viable as a SS/Dagger blend.

PC player here, been doing SL35-70 invasions for the longest time, considering moving up to post-pontiff meta level invasions finally for more difficulty, hackers be damned.

My question is, what SL should I be at? 120? 125? 140? 150? Preferably I'd like to avoid fight clubs and get a constant stream of aldrich faithful invasions if possible, but I'd weigh constant invasions heavier than avoiding FC's. I'm not entirely against obscuring ring greatbow'ing FC's to fuck with them.

>>170070738
Great Scythe is in Undead Settlement as item to pick up.
Great Corvian Scythe is in Road of Sacrifices as random drop from mobs.
There's also Pontiff Knight Great Scythe in Irithyll.
Power ranking:
Corvian > Pontiff > Great Scythe

>>170070738
The great scythe you should find in the Undead Settlement has the best reach and respectable damage. The great corvian scythe you can farm off the mutant crow fucks has better damage, but a shorter reach and a strength requirement (and relatively negligible self-bleed). They're both perfectly capable of taking you to the late game, especially when you can buy carthus rouge.

>>170070775

also it's a raw weapon, allowing you to gouge the shit out of your choice of VIG/END/VIT.

>>170070904
>>170070937
alright thanks lads. im off to go play wish me luck :3

>>170071005
>:3
fuck off

>>170070841
125 is the meta and where you will get the most activity. 140 I believe is the point at which you start ignoring 125s while invading which will likely gimp your invasion activity but avoid most fight clubs.

That said, Aldrich Faithful has nearly always been constant activity for me regardless

>>170071037
;_; sorry

>>170071069

So what would you suggest then? SL120 or SL140? Again, PC.

>>170070841
120/125 is the sweet spot, as always. Post-pontiff is still as active as ever in that bracket.

What are some of the useful Sorceries in DaS3?

>>170071179

Yeah but I want to do invasions not honor duels. Mostly trying to think about how much FC invasion frequency effects my choice of SL120-125 or SL140.

Guess I'll just do SL125 then, though.

>>170071214
Great Heavy Soul Arrow for PvE
Homing Soulmass, Farron Flashsword, Soul Greatsword are good for both PvE and PvP

>>170071265
Thanks mate, planning on using MLGS, would it be better to use Bellowing ring or magic clutch?

>>170071383
Bellowing. Clutch rings don't work in PVP, so they're pretty useless.

>>170071491
They do if you use the nexus patch

>>170071383
bellowing gives a bigger boost for sorceries, even in pve - remember clutch shit doesn't work in pvp - and doesn't have drawbacks.
Also, if you do invasions or sth, long range nukes like crystal soul spear are decent. Homing soul mass is good for getting space for ashen estus as well

>>170071257
Fight clubs are a much, much, much smaller issue than you're making them out to be. At 125 you'll get one in maybe twenty five attempts and it takes all of sixty seconds to black crystal out and find a new world.

>>170071491
Thanks again, last question. Do Sorcerer's make the best Sorcerer's or are Knight's better. For some reason I'm thinking long ago that a lot of people said Knights

Does being embered prioritize you for auto summons?

>>170071563
Depends on your stat spread, but generally you want to go Sorcerer.

>>170071265
>>170071531
Is normal Soulmass better than Crystal?

>>170071383
Dont forget about the GS of Judgement

>>170071583
no

>>170071712
Kind of. Homing does less damage, but costs a lot less FP.

>>170071537

That's good to hear then, thanks. Haven't done meta level shit in forever (only did pontiff duels at that level), so was a bit worried. Thanks.

>>170071712
FP to damage wise yes

>>170071728
I didn't, honestly, I'm going to try both. I've never really played a Sorcerer in any of the Souls before, I've always been iffy on what weapons I should use. I was just going to use a infused Longsword or something.

Sometimes when I attempt to invade, I am summoned as a blue/Aldritch depending on what covenant l have on.
Why?

Also, why blessed weapons cannot be buffed?

383KB, 975x659px

This is what I have so far, again, this is a very rough idea, I've never messed around with casters, so I'm open to any advice. I did have one question for long time Souls spellcasters, do you like the FP system or did you prefer what they did in previous games?

>>170071827
Moonlight greatsword, greatsword of judgement, and Heysel pick is great because it can combo with r1 directly into a soul greatsword r2. Steady chant also buffs both its casting and standard attack damage since it does magic damage, and to top it all off all of its moves are thrusts and it has poise when 2 handed as it is indeed a hammer.

>>170071958
You should drop Hidden Body and Cast Light, they're pretty useless. Great Farron Dart is good for pressuring in PVP as well. Also 60 Int is overrated, but good. You should consider dropping to 50 and getting more Vigor or something.

>>170072126

>>170072137
Those are just filler spells, stuff I might dick around with, I'll throw in GFD, thanks.

>>170072137
>>170071958
Hidden body and untrue white ring make you look like player ghosts. It's a lot of fun and people really do fall for it.

Why did From make it so poise only exists as hyper armor?

>>170072304
Because imagine poise stacked fast bleed weapons.

>>170072206
who is this waifu?

>>170072304
Because they gave into whiny casuals. This is why DaS1 will always be the best PvP game.

>>170072259
At 34 you're 4 above the previous 'slot' level, you're better off sticking those 4 points into Vig.
24 is more my personal preference for MLGS builds, heed it no mind if you're more comfortable with 30

>>170072880
>reversed the DWGR nerf
I too enjoy flipping loincloth havelmom meta
Current dwgr is fine, it gives more merit to either invest more points into End if you want to flip with heavy gear. Or it encourages players to wear lighter armour, giving better dodges in exchange for lesser defenses

>>170072619
Glad I could sell you on the Heysel pick. A hammer, a greatsword, and a straight sword all in one. When using flash sword bear in mind it can be parried.

>>170073482

So with warden twins do you go quality, hollow or sharp?

>>170073546
People still flipped with high poise. Nothing really changed. All you needed was 56 poise.

>>170072539
The first Dark Souls' PvP was almost entirely backstab and parry focused, but if you think it's pure circling, you know pretty much jack shit about it. After a little while, it got into near-SSBM levels of exploit-based meta expansion and became stupidly complicated.

FP was such an awful decision. Who the fuck was championing that at From, after 3 games of a set amount, "How can we make magic completely unfun?"

Every playthrough of DS3 Ive done so far I immediately just grab the claymore. Coming from bloodborne last where it was more fun to get in to close because trades werent near as bad with the health recovery getting back in close, Im finding reach is king in DS3, and cant justify using a dagger or any regular sword. Greatswords just seem to be perfectly balanced in speed, damage, and reach, with a varied moveset. Plus going fast and getting hits on an enemy with a shield with a light weapon is fucking boring, you either go to hit and they block and your character loses agency with your weapon flailing off their shield, or you get two hits in before they block and the same shit happens. Meanwhile a greatsword does chip damage through the shield, and can destroy their stamina and allow for a critical attack.
Pure thrust weapons are so overpowered in PvE but the moveset is so bland and uninteresting. Stab stab stab. Stab stab stab.
What weapon should I use to break the cycle /dsg/? I tried making a mage that used the great scythe but as soon as I put a crystal gem on it my damage fucked itself because lol split damage. Not the mention the damage penalty for being too close and the odd hitboxes missing some attacks on certain enemies.

>>170076346

>>170076635
>but the moveset is so bland and uninteresting
Try the Lucerne. Most fun I've had with a pure thrust weapon.

>>170076593
It wouldnt be so bad if they just reduced the cost to where you could have the same number of casts you once could in previous games or made the spells damaging enough to be worth the absurd costs most have but as it stands everything is too expensive to use and doesnt have nearly enough payoff and is outclassed in every way by literally anything else

>>170069579

The Crystal Longsword is better if you're going the pure caster route because you don't need to invest in STR/DEX very much at all in order to get decent damage out of it. In my opinion, the Heysel Pick is a way more fun to use than the Longsword, though. The Longsword is boring as shit while you can easily do cool flashsword/greatsword combos with the Pick while also benefitting from hammer-class hyper armor. You can also free up your left-hand slot for the candlestick or a shield or something instead of having to put your catalyst there.

>>170076839
With one blue estus you already have as many if not more casts of any spell

I'm so glad from removed poise to cater to pvp shitters, it totally doesn't make heavy weapons completely useless beyond aldritch

Fuck you, I used the LK Long Spear on my first (blind) playthrough with DaS3 being my first ever souls game and I loved it to death, even to this day I love it.

Besides, the only weapons that truly have a unique moveset are the black knight ones. Everything else is just R1 and R2, mostly R1's though, not really a big deal. Like big whoop you have 2 moves instead of 1, no one gives a shit that's not "varied" like say a black knight glaive that has a whole slew of unique attacks between the 1 and 2 handed versions.

>>170077484
The more skill part also applies to PvE, it means you cant just braindead mash 2-handed UGS' anymore

>>170077484
It was more useful for fast weapons. There's nothing a heavy weapon could kill they couldn't faster and safer

Anon, I like spears, but I dont want to feel like I cheesed my way through the entire game staying totally out of the way of any enemies range. And as much fun as spears would be, itd get very stale pretty fast for me personally. Not disrespecting your playstyle at all.

As for varied movesets, the claymores 1hr1 is wide sweeps, the r2s are thrusts followed by swings, the running and backstep attacks are spin slashes, you have the stances, and 2hr1s are vertical side swings. The animations are varied and things have varied utility in the moveset, and thats what I personally look for in a weapon.

I just wish some weapon in DaS3 had the charged r2 combo from the memelight in BB, that thrust then uppercut was so satisfying baiting people into in pvp.

60 faith
use raw weapon + whatever buff the enemies/boss in the area are weak to you have dark, magic, and lightning from miracles, and fire with pyro flame and 10 int

>>170078467
What SL you looking for?
Anyway the Basics
EQUIPMENT
Canvas Talisman, Yorshka's Chime
Melee focus; Wolnirs Sword, Raw DSA+buff, Lothric Knight GS+buff
Caster focus; Something small and fast(Small axe, straight sword) Lightning infused or Raw+Buff

Stats
60 Faith is a must for offensive spells, paladin-style support can stop between 20-40 depending on what spell you want
i'd say 18 Att for melee, 24 or 30 for caster

If you want a really low-faith build; go 25 faith for great heal&Sacred oath requirements. Then focus the rest in physical stats like Vig/End/Str
Anything else?

>>170078581

Ok. What FAI-based weapons appeal to you?

Or do you just want to be able to use a majority of FAI weapons in general?

You are referring to DS3, right?

>>170077447
They're very good. Wolf Knight, Havels, and moaning are my favorites. I especially love two handing Havel's with Anri's sword on my hip and invading lothric castle with pure shield bashes. You are nigh untouchable if you manage it correctly, attacks also block so trading is easy, and the running attack is very good for some reason. If you really want to eat someone's time, I actually fought one person for fifteen minutes until he eventually just ran out of estus and could no longer fight. Lots of fun, and making good use of sub weapons helps too.

how good is 60 faith yorshka's chime DMB and is it worth respeccing from a 150 quality build for

Was the fact that there are only 5 real builds in BB a good or bad thing?

>>170079438
magic is weak at that level

>>170078879
The stats required made less of a difference in playstyle. In BB, playstyle was dramatically changed by what weapons you choose to use. Since the only real point in builds is the difference in how you play, reassigning that role to the weapons themselves is just fone for me. You still get variety in the form of whatever weapons you decide you want to use.

>>170079351
How did you figure that?
From what i can see the highest spellbuff for Int is 238, for faith thats 242
They both add ~95% of spellbuff as magic AR so it seems like they're on about the same level

Seems a bit pretentious to say it strayed too much from the souls formula when we're only 2 games in. At any rate, judging by concept art and unused maps, shibuya's ideas were great. Far better than the turd of a game we got. Bloodborne basically pulled the rug from under ds2 and it never got proper treatment, leaving it crippled forever. That game should never have been dark souls. Name it giants' souls, I don't know. Whenever I remember what a great game ds2 could have been I get a bit upset.

So wtf is the big deal regarding darkmmon blade?

The Witch of Izalith in her prime, an aporoximately Vendrick-sized humanoid woman in long robes, that moves very slowly and attacks exclusively by summoning ungodly powerful complex pyromancies until the second phase where she screams, pulls out one of the long catalysts you see her daughters using in the DS1 intro, and summons a Bed of Chaos-looking flaming wraith to float alongside her like Sulyvahn's shade, that attacks with powerful melee moves and chases you around the arena as she continues to cast her primordial flame magic at you
And make it take place in the Bed of Chaos arena for added effect.

Imagine if Dark Souls was a Crusader Kings game

At level 80 this leaves you with only 13 free points for vig/end and no ring slots.

Here's something similar to Stage 2. In the lower level after the floor collapses, there can be some drop holes in the water.

>Drops
-Destroying all the eyes: Catalyst that scales with Faith/Humanity; casts a water spell that deals Dark damage as the FP

-Destroying all the Tails: Whip? that causes a slow attack

-Normal: Helm of the Depths: Some sort of buff in water, like minor HP regen or something.

In the drop holes in phase 2, you can see a giant penguin skeleton and eggs that presumably belong to the boss, as the AI will tend to stay near that particular death drop

I'm SL 26, I tried going to Blighttown but it feels underleveled.
Thanks for asking, but I'll go on alone, it's my first playthrough well the second to be exact, but I spent less than 10 hours on the real first and don't remember anything
I remember that there is a bonfire in the Depths somewhere but I can't find it, back to searching I go.

Bringing back mana was a good idea in my opinion, as it allowed for regen to return as well.

Why is it called Blight"town"?

No problem. I'm SL 22 right now and was just heading down there for a few things. If you change your mind, I'll leave my summon sign in the hallway with the glooby globs that fall on your head.

Blight is a disease. It's filled with toxic, bugs and mutants because those are synonymous with poison

>>170086074
because it's a town. a really shitty one, but it's the residence of those infested ghoul people. they even have pet doggies

>>170086076
Ds3 is exhausting to replay because there aren't many decisions to be made apart from catacombs or cathedral first. Having nothing beyond the cathedral and gating off Irithyll were awful decisions.

Because it used to be a shanty town before the backlash from Witch Izileth blast back through the tunnels and ruined it with Blight. The Fair Lady then took most of the curse into herself trying to save the people, but ended up just killing herself.. ;_;

For the sake of organization either your Steam ID or a Discord ID will be needed to sign-up. If using only one, Steam IDs will be organized via that messages there and Discord users can join the accompanying server in the link above to ensure we don't have last minute drop-outs with no explanation.

-The starting location will be High Wall, followed by Farron Keep bridge and ending at the Darkmoon Tomb.
-Fights are best of 3
-Each fight is 2 minutes long, the one with the most % health left at the end will win if both are alive.
-Gargoyle Flame Spear, Washing Pole, Throwing Knives, Anri's Straight Sword, Ethereal Oak Shield, Twin Dragon Greatshield, and Fire Surge are banned.
-Only two Ashen Estus sips per fight, any more and your win will not count, initiating a rematch. Do this twice and you are disqualified
-All Regen items and spells are banned to disencentize passive shittery. This includes Sun Princess Ring, Blessed Weapon, Spells like Bountiful Sunlight, the weapons/shields mentioned above with innate regen and anything infused with Blessed.
-Normal FC rules still apply such as no healing items. Fight rotation will be determined once brackets are set.

Knight Champion of Londor
A knight in polished armor, simple but elegant. He stands about 6' 5". His greatsword is long and impressive but unadorned, similar to his shiny armor. He also bears a shield with no crest made from steel with some gilding and engraving along the edges but noting special. He has 100 separate attack animations and can cancel into or out of any one of them to another at will. You may not see the same attack twice battle to battle. All do mid to high damage but bear no element. He reads inputs and cannot be parried. He's decent at shield breaking and very high stagger limits His shield has 90% block against all elements and magic but he doesn't drop it when he dies. Can be statused but resistances are all high. Artorias level elemental resistance. His weapon and armor drops are all above average but not the best. Flavor text is similar to Solaire's in that there was nothing terribly special about him. He just possessed great will and never stopped practicing.

I'm trying to keep playing so I don't lose interest before TRC, but the game is making it hard.

>literally one sign in all of Irithyll
>not even a faithful invasion after Sulyvahn
I mean, I can still invade just fine, but it's no fun if the tables aren't turned once in a while.

>>170088898
I feel you anon, so much.
DaS1 gave me 300+ hours of play while I couldn't keep playing past my 90th hour of DaS3.

The game is so casualized and new player friendly while being absolutelly void of any interesting builds besides 4-5 standard ones with the usual memebuild that makes no sense and gets you bored past Farron.

And the DLC was just eye candy and a poor attempt on recreating the Sif fight for people to feel "le sad".

Or how many characters do you have at SL 120.

Bravo /v/, what's the next step in your masterplan?

>>170090114
>how many times did you backtrack in this game my man

tbf, the only reason you had to backtrack in 1 is because you couldn't just teleport everywhere.

2 and 3 have bonfire teleportation from the start of the game to any bonfire you've unlocked.

>>170090114
If should tell you something if you have to consciously add fake stutter and a XD to make a point you disagree with seem bad.

>>170090361
Not one week ago I was too. Today - nothing.
I've invaded the same guy three times over a few hours yesterday and today. The game just seems dead.

>>170089479
You fight him in a traditional arena with a seating for a large crowd but each chair is populated by only corpses. Lore implies they are all his past fallen foes. When you defeat him he quietly mentions something about finally being able to rest. His tall corpse appears in a prominent chair of the arena. It clutches a broken pendent with no known use. Text mentions he missed home.

>>170090223
How are you even going to tell if someone has any healing shit on or not?

There's a bonfire every 2 setps in this game, leaving the tension and actual survival experience out of the question.

DaS 3 is a casualized triple A without much room for improvement until they change what makes this game boring and unreplayable.

Why do people keep running around in a circle as if to say "look at me! I'm not using lock-on!!"

You can tell someone has no opinion of his own and is just parroting someone else when even the wording of his complaint follows the same pre-baked format of prime memesters.

>>170091302
>inb4 he posts the screenshot of Dragonslayer to Archives bonfies

>>170091257
I always took that as a sign of nonaggression or friendliness. Or at least a "lets have silly fun killing each other" type of gesture. That's why I do it anyway.

>>170088676

For country/location, do I have to specify my state if I live in the US?

>>170091302
>I am not going to take in consideration the opinion of those I disagree with.

Nice.
And by the way, my last week consisted of me trying to use different builds and have the most possible fun with this game while comparing it to previous instalments and the result was a ongoing 3 day hiatus.

If you are going to disrespect someone's opinion either don't bother to post or try to actually prove a point instead of disregarding a fact about a game only because you don't like it.

>>170091509
That's too easy to point out because the design is so retarded a first time player could think about it not being needed there.

Farron is the worst offender as both areas are plagued by unnecessary bonfires.

>>170091105
>quickstep
>useful for anything besides Cathedral of the Deep/Farron Keep
Good one. It's a mediocre gimmick that doesn't contribute anything better than a <30% roll with Milkring.

>>170091667

If you want you can, we're more concerned with just general location and internet speed so we can work around any possible latency and predict connection issues before they arise.

>>170091785

Got it. Thanks.
