When will they nerf easy mode?
What's so easy mode about the ring? I know what it does I just disagree.
>>334380048
What do it do
>>334380048
Hopefully soon. It's currently absolutely mandatory for PvP.
>>334380283
Gives more i-frames for your roll but increases any damage you take by 15%
>>334380480
So they fixed dodging, but only if you use a ring? That's stupid. I thought they learned from the outcry against adaptibility.
>>334380048
>tfw I've been using this ring since I got it
did I ruin my experience?
>>334380185
Just after you land after a roll (about 1/4 of the animation once you land) you normally become vulnerable to damage. This ring adds i-frames until about 3/4 of the landing animation.
Absolutely insane vs bosses and players. It let's you spam roll making bosses like Pontiff and Dancer a joke.
>>334380997
Well it has to get worse before it gets better. Telling everyone that it's OP is a good way to make everyone use it and get it nerfed, eventually.
I'm positive it'll get toned down. I'm also positive they're going to increase the drop rate for Titanite Shards in the early game. I've had to farm for shards WAY too many times. I think they intended for them to drop from EVERY enemy and just assumed I'd always find enough. That was stupid of them. I cleared Farron Keep and whatnot last night and still barely had what I needed for a pair of +3 weapons.
>>334380435
I need this.
Where the fuck is it?
I just beat abyss watchers.
>>334382626
They drop like candy in smoldering lake.
>>334382845
Too late. We need them to drop more often in Settlement/High Wall/Road of Sacrifice.
I shouldn't ever feel so heavily limited by upgrade materials. Experimentation shouldn't mean punishment.
>>334382785
Catacombs of Carthus. The that opens up after you kill Abyss Watchers.
Can't remember where exactly just look around everywhere for items. It wasn't too hidden. Don't get confused with the Milkring, that one makes you invis while rolling.
>>334382785
Behind some wheel skelies near the bottom of catacombs
>>334382626
I'm pretty sure they expected you to swim in titanite shards because at some point they drop from every single fucking mob for a while. Not to mention you can buy an unlimited amount from the old lady. Unless you're talking about large or chunks.
>>334383194
>I'm pretty sure they expected you to swim in titanite shards
But I didn't. The fucking droprate is too low. I almost never found them as loot from dead monsters.
>Not to mention you can buy an unlimited amount from the old lady
Not until much later when you have the right umbral ashes. In the early game, it's fucking dumb and needs a rework. They simply don't fucking drop often enough. At all.
>>334382626
They drop like candy later in the game and you can buy them.
>>334382626
You should see Lothric Castle titanite drops.
Holy fuck every mob drops like 2 large titanite shards and every second item is a titanite scale/chunk/twinkling.
>>334380435
>any damage you take by 15%
15? absorb drops by half, some, like magic, drops almost by 80%
>>334383353
They drop a perfectly reasonable amount, keeping people from getting +4 rape weapons after the first boss is fine. You go from wishing you had more to absolutely drowning in them within the span of about 10 minutes, and it's right after you've finally got enough drops to upgrade your weapon past the point of needing shards.
>>334382626
By the time I reached smoldering lake, I had 50+ small shards and 40 large shards, a couple chunks.
I think the rates are fine. They cleverly tuned the rates to increase as you progress to keep from being able to cap your weapon upgrades too easily.
>get hit once by a boss
>die
it's shit. Unless you know every bosses moveset not worth using it.
>>334383762
The point is that you don't need to know the moveset, you can just spam roll away from any attack.
>>334383379
>later in the game
That's too late. Jesus Nobody cares about Titanite Shards in the fucking mid-late game.
The issue is Fromsoft assumed the drop rate was enough to give most people what they needed. It wasn't. I fell into a probability gap and ended up completely fucked. They need a better drop rate. At least from one or two kinds of enemies. I'd say if they made it so the transforming darkness hollows, Lothric Knights and maybe the angel knight had a higher drop rate, I'd be cool with it.
>>334383627
>, keeping people from getting +4 rape weapons after the first boss is fine
Not when I was already on my third and fourth boss fights and still packing a +2 because they don't give me enough of them.
>>334383646
I should be able to make two different +3 weapons without grinding or going terribly far beyond the Undead Settlement. If they don't give enough shards for that, they did it wrong.
>>334380048
It absolutely rapes your defense. Really not worth it at all considering how insanely hard enemies hit after the catacombs
i just beat abyss watchers and explored a bit of happy fun skeleton land
love the ring that gives you invis on the roll and im a knight
i assume these two rings together make you a god in pvp?
>>334383825
>>Not when I was already on my third and fourth boss fights and still packing a +2 because they don't give me enough of them.
That's fine. The first few bosses are mad easy anyway. If you're only on a +2, it's possible that you've missed an area, a few of them branch pretty far.
>>334383858
Not really it used to break lock on in the jap version but they nerfed it hard so its kinda meh right now.
>>334383825
>>334383627
Just go to the demon ruin they always drop every time with like 12 luck let alone sometimes two.
Have fun with the pulls though.
>>334383906
>That's fine.
No. It's not. I shouldn't be asked to grind to upgrade two different weapons.
> The first few bosses are mad easy anyway.
That's not even relevant in the slightest.
>>334383994
>I missed the point entirely.
>>334380048
Where do I farm titanite chunks?
Also whats the new meta? Is zwei solaire still a thing?
>>334384036
>instantly responding to every post
You got unlucky, deal with it and git gud. The enemies in Farron Keep drop them and that isn't far into the game at all
>>334383858
That and the ring you get from the npc invader past the second bonfire before the bridge. It deals more guard-break damage
>>334384148
I've had this same issue on both my characters. It's not bad luck. It's bad game design.
>>334383842
Fuck, what? I used this ring just for the 3 dex. I thought it was just that and the visual effect. Are you joking?
>>334384280
>>334384036
>>334383825
>>334382626
Try putting some points in luck you stupid shit
>>334384291
Carthus Milkring is the invis roll and 3+ dex.
Carthus Bloodring is the i-frame boost.
>>334384291
Theres 2 rings anon, one gives 3dex and shadow roll, the other just adds i frames at the cost of more damage
>>334384357
>wasting points into a mostly useless stat
>>334384291
The one that makes your rolls invisible just gives you 3 Dex. The one that increases your i-frames is the bloodring, which reduces your resistances by 50%
>>334384357
How much?
>>334382626
Best place I have found to farm shards early game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvtJHU6-yt0
>>334384456
Clearly it isn't useless if it gets you additional materials that you need. Your logic is fucking baffling
>not getting enough drops to upgrade your weapon
>there is a stat that explicitly increases your chances of finding items
>WELL THAT STAT IS USELESS I'M NOT GONNA PUT ANY POINTS INTO THAT
>>334383842
>defense
>souls game
Unless you're running full Havel the difference between rags and medium armor is negligible.
I-frames are the real defense
>>334383353
Rolley-polley skeletors in catacombs have almost 100% of dropping TS.
If you search around you'll get enough to upgrade several weapons to +3.
>>334384456
You can change redistribute them later in Rosaria's chamber.
>>334384593
It lowers your resistances by half. It matters, especially in PvP where your opponent isn't going to do a superslam attack with five hours of recovery time. Goodluck winning counter trades when your defense is horseshit
>>334384456
>I need this stat to get more powerful
>it is a useless stat
>>334384657
Since I failed Anri's questline and got her sword I might put in points for luck. Are there other weapons that scale like it?
>>334384593
>pretending like you have any experience doing pvp
you know all those times where you hit r1 and they hit r1? you're going to take 400 counter damage because of your rags and retard ring and they're going to take 150 because of their heavy armor. so unless you like getting buttfucked by any quick thrusting weapon or 2h with high stability, you're going to want decent defense
>>334384835
Unless you're using that one sword that scales with luck it's not worth it
>>334384982
>you hit r1 and they hit r1
Playing pvp with you sounds like no fun at all.
>>334384982
>I need to take less damage when I'm bad enough to get hit
I play faith with pure lightning spear so not my fault if you're bad on purpose :^)
>>334385018
Then stop bitching? Complaining about low drop rates when you have no luck is like complaining about low health when you have no vitality. That's what the fucking stat is for
Do any weapons scale off Luck?
>>334385018
I don't understand this argument. You know mobs can respawn indefinitely right?
Theoretically it's a 100% chance as long as you keep farming.
>>334385385
The sword that one knight in elite armor uses will have it on her body if you kill her or you fail her questline
Nameless King is so annoying. I can't beat him and he is the last boss I need to beat.
>>334385836
I had a great first couple of fights against him, and now I'm getting slaughtered by his fucking piss easy dragon phase. I really wish it was just skipped after the first time you clear it.
