I don't think pyro requires as huge a stat investment as y'all are saying it does, I've got 20 int, 15 faith, and the great swamp ring on and I'm doing respectable damage in both PvP and PvE.

It's not amazing damage, but it's certainly enough to be useful in PvP, especially when I don't reveal that I have any magic until they try to run off to heal

It's a good idea in that you can beat the game solidly with it. Not a joke. Good stats, good scaling,
good all-around weapon (however, its kind of bland).

You don't need to infuse at all.

>>
Haven't been here since the game came out, so 2 questions:

1. Are there any hidden downsides to hollowing, like lowered resistances or being less likely to connect to people for multiplayer, or is the only negative really just cosmetic?

2. Is it worth it to raise vitality or wear lighter armor if I'm playing a light-ish character using smaller weapons, who will never hit 70%? My weight hovers around 55-65% at all times, and it's unlikely I'll ever worry about hitting 70% even if i never raise my vit from it's default 10.

Is it actually easier to avoid attacks and such at say, 25% equip load, compared to 60%? Or is it basically all the same under 70%?

So about the entrance to Lothric Castle

I feel like they went about that the wrong way. There should've been an approach from a distance like with Boreal Valley. Instead we enter the last area of the game from a ladder. It's like, we could've got there from the beginning if we just picked up a ladder somewhere.

>>138736823

I did some light testing with this last night. Measured the distance, stamina cost, number of rolls etc between two points. One with 27% load, one with 60%ish.

There was no difference as far as I could tell, perhaps it affects the iframes in some way, but it's not like DaS2 where you get progressively slower up to 70%.

Why the fuck can you only carry 5 hunter charms at a time?

Estus Flasks are so fucking good in PvP it hurts. Almost completely unpunishable, stupidly fast, hosts get twice as many as phantoms. The least they could do is let you have enough Talismans to actually fucking deal with chuggers.

That said, when you actually pelt someone with one it's always hilarious to watch them try to sippy anyways. Free tongues, free tongues everywhere.

>>138736527
have you played demon souls? scaling is like that again. even most good scaling dex weapons like the Uchigatana, rapier, great scythe, etc will have like a C in dex when you find them.

Not trust him to be a good person, but to be a valuable asset to the game.

I was too enthralled in exploring that area that I completely forgot to just go through the door passed the bridge.

So does Dark souls 3 just feel, awful to anyone else?
I feel like I'm playing half a bloodborne.
None of this combat system is dark souls, it's just bloodborne but dodging takes a bit longer.
All the weapons feel the same, all enemies are 0 poise or almost infinite, so weapon speed is almost all that matters. Map is basically linear, enemy types just keep repeating and repeating.
It feels just, heartless, there's no dark souls in here.
Any lore there is is absolutely blatant and underdone.
It feels like they knew they could do more with bloodborne's combat system, didn't have sony's ok for bloodborne 2, so they hastily built this around it.
This is pretty bad.
Way less costumes and way less varied ones at that too.
What am I even playing.

Not to even fucking mention that monstrosity that is the Antechamber, just bloodborne's random dungeon generator without the generator, none of the dark souls games have every had anything so tacky and underdesigned, not even the 4 kings

You don't actually do 2000 damage, what happens is that the sacs have a damage threshold and when you do like 200-300 damage they pop and the boss takes the big hit automatically.

This stupid fucking thing is singlehandedly ruining PvP and encouraging, no, enforcing every single person to play like a complete and utter vagina.

Every single fight is a war of whoever can dodge away and drink more estus whenever someone takes a hit. You can't punish it because the invincibility on rolls with the milkring is so retardedly good, and the Estus is near instant with zero chance to punish it.

I've been PvPing pretty much all day; both invasions and duels, and I've noticed that the best way to play and win is to act like a quivering vagina-baby who runs and heals for the entire fight because that's simply the most effective way to do things. Hunter Charms are slow, and you can only carry a few of them, not nearly enough to offset the hosts 10+ Estus Flasks that he's sure as hell going to drink right and front of you while you watch.

From, please. Seriously. This shit is not fun. Flasks were absolutely fine in 1 and 2 - They took a while to drink and left you open to being punished. They were a massive risky move to take in a fight. I can't say that I've ever once managed to properly punish someone for drinking unless I'm right up their ass when they start to drink. Believe me, I've tried.

Agreed. It's a war of attrition unless you encounter a host who is slow and panic rolls so you can jog behind them and r1 between rolls before they can heal. If they're lighter enjoy running after them and then having enough stamina to give them 1 or 2 R1s as a "punish".

Reading comprehension. I want to use Blessed, but then I can't use Lightning Blade on the weapon. I can't use lightning infusion on the weapon, because then I can't use Lightning Blade on the weapon.

It's the equivalent of turning the game's difficulty from "normal" to "baby." even having another player just in the room, even if they never attack, cuts the difficulty in half by distracting the boss. so no, it isn't fine.

What if the host is near your skill or evenly matched? Dark Souls does not have a very high skill ceiling - though it is there. Regardless, at that point it is a numbers game.

This is fucking literally the biggest problem with the Souls series.
Missable NPC invasions. Missable NPC encounters. Missable gestures. Missable quests. If you do X then Y will happen with utterly no feedback or even acknowledgement of it happening, if you kill X then Y will be hostile but if you don't aggro X then Y will thank you and go off to fight the final boss as a summon, if you pick up X item and give it to Y person they die.

Why not? It makes the bosses easier, which people find more fun. I see no problem with it. I think you're trying to exert your own philosophy of the game over other people, which isn't something you should do. To each their own. Different strokes for different folks. And so in. It's not fine for you, and thats OK. It's fine for other people, so it's OK. That's that.

>>
>>138739907
Eh, summoning NPC phantoms ends up being a burden more than anything most of the time. The boss is "distracted" in the sense that they'll just constantly attack the phantom, who just stands there and takes it, with their huge, sweeping, AoE attacks that you're never really in a position to capitalize on. And you can't even bait out the attacks for the usual pattern exploitation because the phantom triggers the boss' "go apeshit" behavior by just being always in its face.

No, according to me you shouldn't have fucking summoned him in the first place. I don't have as much of an issue with summoning outside of bosses, but that doesn't mean I think it's okay or that I've ever done it, because I don't and I haven't. You should have found that fucking fire yourself.

If you want to play with real life friends, play a different game that's actually balanced around co-op, or play PvP with a red sign.

>>138740012
You sound like John Walker from RPS. Here's a question for you: should the bosses be skippable? If to each their own, and being stuck isn't fun, then shouldn't all the bosses offer an option to skip them after say, 10 attempts? I'm gonna go ahead and say no. And that's why I don't agree with summoning. It's the same basic philosophy as skipping a boss.

Are you intentionally retarded? You're not even reading the issue.

My problem is that I want to infuse a weapon, and then use a spell on said weapon. But you can't do that. So, in order for me to use my weapon SPELL (LIGHTNING BLADE), I need to invest into stats I don't want to invest much into, so that the base damage doesn't blow. Being STR/DEX.

Do I need to dumb it down even more for you?

He has a point though. I got a dark sword, infused it with dark turning it into a reinforced dark sword then tried to use the dark weapon miracle on it but the game says no.
To actually use the miracles I put my points in I need to not infuse my weapons so they actually scale off my faith. This effectively means I have a weapon that scales off the faith on my faith build but my miracles are worthless or I have a weapon that does fuck all damage except when I use a miracle on it at which point it will do as much damage as normal but only for a limited time.
Shit's fucked.

Why do you defensive summonbabbies always have to resort to ad hominem? What's the implication here, I don't summon, so I need to spend the time to actually git gud, so I have no time for a social life? I'm genuinely confused on how you're getting here.

Nah. They are literally designed to do that.

Every enemy in the game has a limit on how much you can stagger them before they break out of it. Count how many times you hit the Darkwraith before he hits back, then just hit him that many times and dodge.

Once you learn almost every enemy works like this, game becomes a lot easier.

As good as this game is, I can't help but feel disappointed. Too many areas, enemies, and weapons were simply rehashed from older games. The bosses are mostly a let down, with a few gems (dancer, nameless king, pontiff, dragonslayer).

I think my biggest gripe is the weapon system. Bloodborne's was perfect, every weapon was unique and fun. I know dark souls has a lot of weapons, but I was hoping they would scrap that system in favor of something more varied/complex.

In that case I'ma back off and let's just forget about t0 because there's nowhere this argument can go from here; we have a fundamental difference of opinions, as I think bosses being skippable in a souls game would be a terrible design design that would negatively affect the game's atmosphere, sense of progression, and almost everything else. I think if bosses are skippable, and that's fine, then by logical extension of that, difficulty levels would be fine, and soon enough you have just another hack & slash RPG, and there's nothing of the Souls game left.

The only thing is that you said "summoning == skipping", so that's how I was responding. Having a "skip button" would be bad, absolutely. But summoning as a "skip" doesn't negatively affect the game's atmosphere, sense of progression, or almost everything else. It just makes it easier, so it's fine. See? It allows for both hardcore players looking for a challenge to enjoy their style of play, and it allows more softcore players to beat the game and have a fun, immersive experience. It's great and I see no problems with summoning even if I don't use it myself.

From doesn't care about the PVP meta. Consider for example that hosts will always have a strict damage and health buff, even in one-on-one encounters. In addition to the fact that everyone chugs Estus in PVP now, which gives the host even more advantages.

I don't know how the PVP meta is going to solve this.

It basically means you don't gain souls from invading now, because no one is going to spend 5 minutes running off to some far corner of the are after an invasion that only lasted 1 minute of a host and 2 phantoms pushing R1 a lot

lmao at anyone complaining that invasions are too hard. literally just git fucking gud. i've won like 8/10 invasions so far using the following secret strats

>kite the guys into enemies
>aim the guy/phantom who is separated from the rest of his posse
>if you get mobbed, roll on out and seek better ground
>don't fucking rush into the 3 man gank squad and complain that it doesn't work

if they've cleared all the enemies and are just camping for invasions, then just claim moral victory by crystaling out

i even managed to clown on a gank squad dudes with the pike of all weapons, which is surprisingly good now. it deals pretty decent damage for how long the range is, and it's really good for putting pressure on chuggers and fucking with peoples' poise constantly

i don't really like how the game obscures scaling info tho. i have a feeling that the pike would be much better for a STR build guy even though the scaling letter things suggests it to be good for both DEX and STR.

>>138742425
If you plan to cap your level, you'll want to pick which class starts with the least of whatever stats you don't plan to use. Since luck is pretty useless all around, it's best to go pyromancer or knight. Pyro has more att/faith/int for magic stuff, knight is the reverse, but till has just enough att for 1 spell slot.

Warrior has 4 more luck and 4 less att than knight, plus 1 less point on faith (or it might have been int), so if you really don't want any attunement it can be worth it, but even if you don't use spell slots attunement is still needed for weapon arts etc since it raises MP.

Yeah I've started using the BC more. Host and his phantoms going to gesture and cower around the fire? I'll wait a bit to see if they'll give up and come after me but eventually it's a BC. Gank squad premade? BC. Out of estus and probably gonna lose? BC :)

>>138742448
How would you even know whether the person who summoned you doesn't know how purple phantoms work? Either way they're going to behave the same. Let you co-op with them and then fight you when you turn on them. How else would you expect them to react?

>>138742589
I summon purples a lot because I like PVP and because the uncertainty makes co-op more fun.

For example, yesterday I had a really fun session with a purple phantom in Undead Settlement. He had a duel with an invader while I watched and cheered him on. We cleared a path to the boss fog and then had our climactic battle. Good times.

Also a lot of the time I just feel like practicing PVP so I'll summon a purple and wait for them in a clear area. They're normally pretty willing to engage me as soon as I bow and lock-on. Just wish there were some reward for beating them.

i haven't had to crystal out yet, i'm just suggesting it as a strat for dealing with gank squad guys. i haven't come across pure gank squads yet, just the normal "carry the host through the game" type of squads so i've been fine.

Trash items from your inventory work. She'll reject them if they don't.

You get pieces of a heavy armor set (I have only gotten the legs and wristlets) and some upgrade materials, like twinkly and stones and so on. I also got Lucatiel's mask from her for giving her one of the Mound Maker covenant items, forget what they're called.

It's a fun PvP/PvE hybrid covenant. Basically I put down a purple summon sign, and you summon me. I'm a purple phantom who can hurt you, but I can also hurt enemies, and they attack me.

If you summon one for PvP then it'll be a lot more fair because they can't just bait you into enemies and hide behind big groups, as they'll get attacked.

I don't think it'll work as much later on, but right now people summon a purple expecting a fight, but when I jump around, wave at them, and then start fighting enemies they seem to trust me quite often.

>>138743085
>How would you even know whether the person who summoned you doesn't know how purple phantoms work?

I never said this.

>Either way they're going to behave the same. Let you co-op with them and then fight you when you turn on them.

I've had a ton of people summon me and instantly attack me on sight, or summon two purples for a 1v1v1.

I've also had people never act hostile towards me, and I'd end up helping them for over 10 minutes until one of us gets killed by a mob.

That being said, when they leave their back to me the entire time, and never act cautiously even though I have a Zweihander, I assume that they aren't expecting me to backstab them when they jump into 5 enemies.
>>
>>138743378

Depends on your build, personally I started with fire gift for shortsword infusion, got strength to 11 so I could get 100% phys block with the kite shield, then went for a raw broadsword.

I'm bad at these games, and that was the easiest start I could figure out.

anon what the fuck, are you actually autistic? if you want to play the game in that way do it, don't fucking yell at people who choose to have fun with the game in their own way. in the other games co-operation covenants can get you better gear, summons have always been encouraged and it gives you an idea of what you're getting into before you fight the boss yourself, even if you do eat shit and die.

that said it'd be pretty funny interesting to see what you make of blue sentinels
>>
>>138743901

It's difficult on certain enemies with the cast times and no way to interrupt a soul arrow mid-cast. I basically use spells whenever I have the range but a lot of enemies are all up in your shit and you need a good melee weapon for it.

You can get through most bonfires with 2 mana estus flasks though, if you so desire.

They should really add some kind of incentive for killing purple phantoms. I hear all these stories of fun co-op sessions but it seems like usually they're just trying to find a chance to get a cheap victory off me. And it's annoying how they try to act all inconspicuous. Literally everyone knows your deal, you faggots.

The game is still new. People who are summoning them are first timers who are playing the game blind. The sheer number of players is the reason they're getting so much activity.

Eventually purple phantoms will just be part of the PVP meta and nobody will summon them for co-op. I give it a month or so.

Keep and swamp is good level design. The "put out the fires" thing forces you to explore the area. Hazards are different in different places. Poison creates a time limit for exploration and forces you to proceed carefully and chart your course out. It's also clever how the landmarks are placed to try to help you navigate the swamp, like having a high elevated tower in the middle that you can use to see the fire towers.

Sorry you used a walkthrough and missed out on the experience.

It's all practice, anon. I've only ever fastrolled that fight so I dunno how you'd do it with a tanky shield build. But once I figured out the exact roll timing on the attacks I was able to do it.

One thing you have to learn to do is back off and give her space for some attacks that you can't roll through, like that huge spin-to-win. It's kind of like Sif in that regard, though a lot harder.

If you're fatrolling and trying to tank it then I don't know what advice to give you. I don't even know how much stamina damage it does through a shield or how stability works in DS3.
