accidently lost/sold a weapon, is it too late?

why is pvp so shit

>>139058619
Someone might trade you for a new one.

>>139058619
Alt+F4 immediately and hope it didn't get saved.

what are the do's and don'ts of leveling up stuff?
I've heard before to never level up HP, and instead level up stuff that prevents you from getting hit. Is luck useless?

What can I do to increase item discovery? I have

WHERE IS MY REVERSE TRAP PRINCESS FROM

I got like 40 tongues today. At least 25 were from darksword users. At least 20 were spamming R1. I'm gonna do it guys, I'm gonna parry spam these niggers.

Favorite boss of the game? To fight, aesthetic, lore, whatever.

>>139058630
Invasions are too gank-centric, estus is too fast, and PvP favors R1 spam too much.

is nameless king the hardest boss in the game? I'm asking because that fucker took me 2 hours to kill, and I think I'm nearing the end of the game, so it would be nice to just breeze through the rest..

I need help with my quality build, as I'm not sure what to do from here. Here's the build atm:
http://fextralife.com/calculator/dks3builds.html?iGyijAPC.QS.A.A.A.A

Thinking of taking vit to 20 and then not sure if I want vig at 40 and end at 25 or the other way around or what.

>>139058664
>alt+f4
don't listen to this anon, alt + f4 saves the game before it exits
kill the process

Do you think From will outjew themselves and comeout with a Scholar of the First Sin equivalent edition? I don't think they just scrapped all those lore stones they were showing off before/planning, I think they want to give lorefags an incentive to buy the game again. Also, speaking of gutted features I hope they bring put sacrifice/bonfire creation feature in the DLC. I'm guessing the heat-up thing was just boss phases?

What alternatives to the claymore are there?

>>139058630
Straight swords

>>139058729
It didn't for me. I accidentally used a gem on something I didn't want to and when I did Alt+F4, the gem was still there.

anytime after 70 should be fine, there's no need to really if you don't want.

>>139058731
there will 100% guaranteed be a "complete" version of the game. Whether that includes just DLC or changes shit up like SOTFS remains to be seen. I don't think they will though. This game doesn't have as many glaring flaws, and most of the stuff I see in the files are complete or near-complete, unlike lots of the cut content on dark souls 1, so I think it's likely to be DLC content.

Covenants in Review:

Mound Makers: Easy to level, pretty fun for an invader covenant, but there is zero point to putting down a purple sign. Using the red soapstone as a MM might be worth it if you can't be summoned for gank squads, but I've never messed with the red stone so I dunno how it works. I would cum in my pants if From added a feature where summoning a white/gold phantom as a MM would give them the message 'Summoned by madman _____!' with the objective of killing each other, similar to how purple summons work now. But it'll never happen.

Watchdogs of Farron: Aside from slightly infrequent invasions and the ever-present threat of ganksquads, this one is alright. There's even 2 convenient bonfires where you can farm covenant items (slowly) from enemies while you wait for invasions.

nice blog :^)

The cost seems equal to the amount of souls it would take to level up x times at your current level, x being the number of sigils/free level ups you took.

swamp (poison part)- some magic fag, drops heysel pick and yellow head wrap
catacombs- tarkus- drops the extra stam damage against shields ring
cathedral of the deep- kirk drops his sword and shield, his armor can now be found at rosmarina
irithyll (going between the first bonfire and the bonfire that leads to irithyll dungeons bonfire- creighton drops his axe
right before the irithyll dungeons bonfire- avaa drops murakumo
demon ruins- tarkus again, drops FUGS and black iron shield (and gesture war cry)

Does anyone else unironically miss dead angling?

It was the perfect hard counter to turtles and parry spammers and could be countered by toggle into BS.

Fuck DaS1 PvP had so much depth. It's a shame the series has devolved into hyper armor/r1 spamming.

Guys...

I fapped to the jailers

Let's say I have a +10 weapon and a +6 weapon. Does putting away the +10 one into the storage box affect the pvp matchmaking, or am I still +10 as far a matchmaking is concerned?

Also how does matchmaking view weapons that only go to +5? Multiplies by 2?

If invasions and matchmaking is determined by weapon upgrades, up to +10.

How does that function with boss weapons? Do they still count as +5 at max, or as +10? Do they work in 2's instead?

Even the dick ass dagger enemies in this game seem to override all of your poise when both of you attack at the same time. It's like they want you to just use shields instead, at least they stagger enemies when they hit you with dinky weapons.

Except they didn't even go with DaS2 poise. DaS2 poise in PvE essentially worked exactly the same as DaS1. The only difference being that if you did poisetank a hit, your character would slow down for a very short time.

I'm trying to fight Gundyr so I can practice parrying him. I can't just bonfire ascetic so I have to get summoned.

Most of the time it is someone with a bunch of phantoms so it just dies and never targets me.

If it is just me and the host the boss LITERALLY JUST SLIDES AROUND or DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL.

Seig's in the well, thief guy went to Illythil, told Patches where he went.
Thief guy comes back alive, says he was saved by an onion knight, I buy Seig's armor from patches. Seig's still in the well, I give him his armor, he goes off to who knows where.
What even happened? Did Patches dress up as Seig and save the thief?

I don't think it's DkS2 poise. DkS2 poise was like DkS1 poise, except that you'd go into a "microstun" if you were hit while not performing any actions (probably to prevent poisestabs), and that certain animations (e.g. attacking with an ultra weapon) would reduce the poise damage you took by 50%.

Also certain attacks COULD NOT be poised through unless you were in one of the aforementioned 50% reduced poise damage animations.

>>139059625
Patches feels like he does owe Greirat one for helping him out in Irythill Dungeon, but unless he has the protection of the onion armor, he won't actually go out to help him.

What glitch? Is killing her not supposed to grant you early access to dancer?

>>139059786
Utility spells I would imagine. Weapon buffs actually add some damage, Spook should be a mainstay for invasions due to the fall control effect, Hidden Weapon could be fun for shenanigans if you have multiple upgraded weapons. Going 40/40 quality doesn't leave much room for casting stats.

>>139059836
Confirmed for not playing Sorcery in 3. Magic was neutered, only Pyro is anywhere near viable earlygame. Lategame, with 50+ int and 3 magic boosting rings and the Crown of Dusk, then you'll start doing damage.

I don't know, there's nothing I found that suggests anyone has ever usurped the flame before.

>>139059206
The embers in the distance imply a new form of life, one that is unkown to us. To say it's related to the first flame is a guess at most.

>>139059215
It's not about inevitability - in fact I think that's one of the points. Resisting the darkness is just ensuring a world that constantly keeps failing, and the game is proof of that.

Linking the flame just ensures the world to continue, allowing new lords to ascend and inevitably fall again.

Stopping the fire keeper from putting out the flame makes you one of the new lords, and Usurping the Flame is pretty similar, but it also brings back the Abyss, since you're king of the Darkwraiths.

There's too much information that supports extinguishing the fire to be the canon ending desu.

>>139059802
Significantly more health and damage.

>>139059806
Honestly, who could? The Soul of Cinder was the combined might of everyone who has linked the flame. Lothric, Ludleth, Yhorm, Aldrich, Abyss Knights, Bearer of the Curse, Chosen Undead, Gwyn, and likely countless others.

God damn why do they fucking hate invaders so much? I've been trying to invade all day and literally every time it's some douche with 2 summons, and then on top of that a blue shows up.

Even if I do manage to somehow damage them, they all have estus that insta heals them to full. If I try to use the enemies to my advantage which is the only help we have, they just sit there and watch. They have 4 FUCKING players and they refuse to move. I'm pissed that I never got to do invasions in DaS1 and 2 because I feel like I missed out. This is just straight bullshit. I even tried joining sunbros with my friend so we could at least try to 2v4 but it never fucking works.

I wouldn't care if It was every once in a while, but It's every single invasion. I've had ONE 1v1 in like 40 invasions and it was actually fun. Why do they feel the need to baby new shitters when we can't even twink, our fucking gear is the same FUCK you From and fuck you pieces of shit that summon 2 god damn phantoms for PVE. Completely trivializes the game, fuck you. Yes I'm mad.

>>139059946
It's not a huge increase in damage, but what else are you gonna spend your mana on?

I remember an anon saying that there's an achievement tied to beating Yhorm without using the Storm Ruler, is this true? I got him down to maybe 1/4th and am pretty sure I can do it, but if there's no reward past e-peen than whats the point

Poise worked, it was just really convoluted. It was better than DkS1 poise in every way, except that it wasn't transparent in how it worked.

Just getting decent medium armor was enough to resist straight sword/estoc R1s, even without a heavy weapon.

>Mundane Astora Straight Sword

I'm still using it in NG+ on my first character.

>>139060335
people are saying either 70-80 or 120-130

other people are saying pvp is super active at around 60

so if I was you I wouldn't level, atleast not yet

>>139060272
Fuck off. You know its true.

>>139060323
I don't want fucking HP sponges. I never said that. Stop putting words in my mouth.

I just don't want bosses with too low HP, which is what Dark Souls 3 currently is.

This is just WAY too low.

>>139060335
80 would be perfect.
I have to wait 30 or so seconds at 92 as Aldrich Faithful and on my level 65 character I'm getting instant back-to-back-to-back invasions

>Farming weapons from enemies
Just drop the fucking thing already

Why is it whenever I summon people they can't/don't walk through into the boss fight?

>>139059380
After getting oneshot one too many times I equipped chaos fireball with pyro boosting rings and fireballed him to death. Even if the casting takes a while he does 3 hit combo with long recovery where you can safely cast.
Also you can kite him around the fountain in phase 1 (in phase 2 it's more dangerous because of the fucking butterflies taking potshots at you from afar).

do people really think the final boss is hard?

he was super easy to cheese

>>139060335
110-120

>>139059968
Lock on the king when he's in the air and hasn't done an attack when he's on the ground. After dodging his attack switch to the bird and don't run behind the bird or else he deletes you in flame breath.

Alternatively just use a longbow/pharis or get single phantom, I helped 16 people so far and he's really easy with a +1 for free hits in his second phase.

Best greatsword / ultra greatsword for a quality build?

dunno, but poise does nothing as far as i can tell
this webm sort of shows what i'm talking about

>try and attack when they're attacking
>infinite stunlock regardless of poise (as far as i can tell)

>attack is mid swing when they attack
>you get the attack off fine, even when you're naked
ie, poise has zero function

>>139060432
Some people don't like to cheese bosses

>>139060369
>and it makes 0 fucking sense that they limit you to 5 loyds
you're joking right? that's the dumbest fucking shit

>>139060421
They have a fog gate on their side until you trigger the boss.

Can anyone with a saint bident take a look real quick and tell me what the scaling becomes if you give it a blessed infusion?

>>139060325
yeah pretty much

>illusory walls everywhere
>have to eat tons of damage to get the items in the lava because no lava ring
>retarded enemies like those fucking hug monsters who are on coke + meth + red bull and those fucking fire mages who hit you with constantly from 4 different angles and you're not even sure what's happening

I miss the Heide Knight armor.

I just farmed the Cathedral Knight set but it's not the same. Also those fucking beefcurtain sleeves look awful.

>>139060412
that's only because 65 is the perfect level range for progressing through that area normally

give it a few weeks for people to finish putting together their builds and 120 will become extremely active in anor, especially since it's a completely optional area

What's the best bow_____ for PvP?

>>139059968
I hate the camera for his first phase, but you kinda don't need to see what he's doing. Just stay under the dragon. If it leaps backwards, roll under it again, he's about to slam you with his spead. If it roars, it's about to fly up and breath fire and you gotta run away. Nothing else it does can really hit you unless it moves away first, which will let you see what it's doin'.

Goddamn, I wanted to help, but I couldn't.

>>139060467
it happens even when the boss is triggered and I've hit it once/twice

>>139059718

Which he's not since it doesn't add any damage. Because, you know. Fire is one of the elements he fucking uses.
