Why does Dark Souls 3 ape so many elements from Dark Souls 1 but all the mechanic things like poise, equip load, attunement slots etc. did not return?

Surely if you're going to do a rehash, rehash the stuff that matters.

Why are enemies stunning me in one dagger hit from heavy armor? This wasn't in Dark Souls 1
Why am I getting a fast roll? This wasn't in Dark Souls

Those were problems in Dark Souls 2, but people hated it.

So...umm..why are those things still in the game?

I just checked how much damage Carthus Flame Arc gives me, and it's ~113 for every weapon: my upgraded greatsword, some random axe, and some random dagger. It's a flat damage buff (that's with a +3 Flame and base Pyro int+fth).

Assuming the Miracle and Sorcery buffs work the same way, all buffers are hugely incentivized to wield quick weapons. Is there any incentive to wield a great hammer as a caster other than Fashion Souls? It really seems like it ought to do damage proportionate to the physical damage of the weapon.

While I'm here, which, if any, pyromancies aren't ludicrously easy to dodge in PvP?

Tumblr is much more homogenous than this place is.

And that's not what I was referring to. People on Tumblr universally refer to the actions of one board (usually /b/ or /pol/) as being "4chan" as if there is no separation between boards.

How the fuck can you tell if you're banned in DaS3? I was just invading fine like 2 hours ago and then all of a sudden I couldn't find anyone to invade and summon signs are gone, I still get bloodstains, messages and occasionally see phantoms running through though.

Only thing I can think of that I've done wrong is delete my savegame from %appdata% to completely reset everything cos I was having trouble with getting the game to launch without crashing.

Is NG+ even difficult? I have my DEX build on NG+ 1 and so far it's far too easy and I don't have the initial "oh fuck where do I go" that I had in my original blind run. I just don't want this game to end, it's literally the best game i've played

you can't stop twinking and while the twinks are faggots who think they are hotshits for being able to take on new players, the entire playerbase gets penalised due to the measures taken against them.

I spent 26hr as SL80 darkmoon and i got 0 summons. At least allow us to store our +10 weapons for getting paired with people with the same SL range but different weapon levels

I'm 34str/15dex right now and going for a quality build. Should I get str to 40 first and infuse heavy or should I try to get them equal and do no damage for another period of time and go refined?

I'm trying very hard to git gud with the Target Shield parry for invading. It's the only way I can get a hit in with my claymore against aggressive enemy players. I'm not quite sure about one thing: if they run at my flailing with a fast weapon, will I almost certainly parry, or is the window too small for that kind of "parry and pray?" Great weapons are easy, but daggers I feel like I'm guessing every time.

Did you find the corpse of the first Fire Keeper? It's literally the Maiden in Black.

>>139083854
Poise is fixed. It was broken in DaS, if you had a fast hitting weaker weapon you had no chance against someone with high poise because they could just ignore your attacks and spam at you with no risk of ever getting staggered because their weapon will stagger you and reset their poise meter every time.

Now if the weak weapons get in a hit first they still have a chance, but the slow weapons can still tank through hits if they time it properly.

Basically it's fair now and using your poise requires some semblance of skill instead of just a passive ability to completely ignore your enemies swings

So if you're hit by just one of the strikes in Cinder Gwyn's supercombo, it's basically RIP you?

You can literally spam parry between hits and you'll parry the one that comes after the second hit because you'll have a brief moment so you can normally roll out.

Anyone have fun using Giant Seeds on invaders that run for it?
They always look confused when they start getting attacked.
Got jumped by 2 wolf bros in the forest yesterday, ended up having help from the giant crab then eventually the black knight, good times.

So anyway I've seen alot of confusion regarding getting Greirat to survive Irithyll, I've looked at the Nip wiki and here's how they do it, I've tried it myself and it works.

Have done all of Onion bro's quest stuff to this point (Fire demon fight in Undead Settlement, get his armor back from Patches) and have Greirat scavenged once already.

Leave the Smouldering Lake boss alive till you get to Irithyll, at this point in my experience I talk to Onion bro in the kitchen then sent Greirat to Irithyll. Afterwards go kill the Smouldering Lake boss and Greirat will be back at Firelink remaking that an 'Onion Knight' saved him.

I think what's fucking most people up is that they heading down to the Irithyll Dungeons without killing a boss which is usually the trigger for NPC questline progression. Without killing a boss before going to the Dungeon moves Onion to being imprison down there and because he's stuck down there, no ones there to save Greirat back in Irithyll.

Hope this helps people out and also Greirat is always destined to die on the 3rd scavenger run which I posted about a good while back.

- Get disconnected and fail to log back in? (I don't know if this would let you see phantoms, but not actually play online).

How do I make an even remotely viable INT build?
I can't even find a spreadsheet with catalysts and the range in which they're ideal, and the four naturally scaling INT weapons I've tried have only gone from horrible to bad.
Should I just respec into something else?

>>139084996
Didnt know you could parry him, if he gets into melee range its pretty hard to get enough range to heal.
That said second phase was pathetically easy
Still killed him on 3rd try though

For the "Collect all rings" achievements does that have to be on one character? Because it's pretty clear I'm not getting the rank 2 watchdogs ring on a non-twink character.

>there are now 6 of them all spread around.

Ok, no, fuck that area place. Is there anything good in there I'm literally just gonna skip passed them to the left.
