Fuck this shit.
Yeah there's something up with blueberry summonings.
I blame the fact that if you invade you're more likely to be put in a round with 3v1. Bluebros only come when it's 1v1 or 1v2.
>>335671525
thats some shitty ass luck, it only took me like 3 hours. the wolfs blood leaves took even less
>>335671847
Same here three hours on average for farming flesh and grass each
This will be next
>>335671525
Use a coin after you bonfire, every time you bonfire.
Thank me later.
>>335671847
>>335671937
Ya I did the dredges, swordgrass, and tongues in like 2 hours all together. Sunlight medals took 8 hours to get 20...the concords are the last covenant items I need. The only covenant I actually did online was mound makers and getting 30 shackles only took 2 hours of trolling in the settlement.
>>335672279
>Sunlight medals took 8 hours to get 20
holy shit, how?
you know you get medals from invading as a sunbro, right?
>>335672451
Not only that but you also get a ton by farming chunks in Lothric Castle. I got 50 medals in like 3 hours.
>>335672279
Hm all on ng++?
Im doing it on my ng where their hp isn't doubled
god its souvenir of reprisal all over again
>>335672451
>>335672509
Dunno...I didn't summon any phantoms on my first play through because I'm 2kool4skool, and by the time I was at the end of the second play through I only had 4 from them randomly dropping. Now I'm SL 201 and I can't get anyone to summon me for shit.
>>335672852
Ya at least that was only 10

>had fun with all the summons too, didn't feel like grinding
Did you ever think of y'know, actually getting summoned/invading?
>>335672907
how the fuck. I'm on NG+5 and had the sentinels covenant on the literal whole time and have been summoned less than 10 times
Why the fuck do I never get summoned as a blue phantom?
>>335673224
Cause From is too dumb to have blues summon for everyone, rather than just a single unused covenant.
>>335671525
Go to Archdragon Peak I seem to be getting sumoned loads their.
>>335673075It works on my machine.
try untended graves for darkmoon summoning. you can also be summoned to the area before the final boss for some reason as well.
>>335672907
Got 30 by the time I got to the archives. Honestly don't get the complaints.
>>335673964
Likely people who went to sl 100+ and didn't do convenents at all before finishing
>>335673075
Look into the matchmaking shit
I've been dicking around at SL25 with a +2 weap in Undead Settlement, and I capped out dorkmoon's 30 ears in under two hours.
>>335673224
I've got a low level (21) Darkmoon that gets summoned quite a bit. I don't know if there's any level scaling during summoning (which might explain why higher levels have trouble since nobody is in Way of Blue) but lower levels seem to be the way to go for blues. At least until they add the fucking blue eye orb.
>>335671525
Fun fun fun
>>335673759
Darkmoon summoning is global anyway
>>335673964
You got lucky. Most people don't get so lucky. What is so hard to understand that most people don't get summoned as a blue?
>>335674087
I did covenants the whole game and the highest I've been is around 80 to 90. Being sl 10 to 20 for 10 hours, 20 to 30 for 10 hours, and so on, I've been summoned as a blue all of once. I average once about every 2 hours for watchdogs at different levels ranging from 20 to mid 30's. I average one invasion every god damn 10 seconds for Aldrich. The covenants are just fucked up.
>>335674214
>>335673964
I didn't play multiplayer at all (except for the occasional invasion) until finishing the game.
At that point it was too late.
>>335674214
aww yeah
>>335672907
During ~40 hours of having the covenant on I've been summoned a whopping two times
Respec with 99 luck and wear the mimic hat, gold snake ring and have the crystal sage rapier as your left hand weapon. Now farm the hell out of those two silver knights on the staircase in Anor Londo. Took me about 3-4 hours to get 30
>>335672869
>>335672885
I've read "Dunno.." 200 times now because of your fucking double post.
>>335671525
>not just opening Cheat Engine and hacking items in instead of farming
fucking lol, way to waste 13 hours loser
>>335674410
I forgot to mention that you need to buy a shitload of rusted coins from Patches. Pop one of those every time you leave the bonfire. I had 449 item discovery with all that stuff plus the rusted coin
Why is there no sin/blue eye orbs?
Why are there two covenants that do exactly the same thing?
Highly questionable design decisions.
>>335674240
oh really? i was wondering if that was the case.
>>335674339
why would you subject yourself to something like this? The miracle is equal to lightning blade in power and there are other rings that give attn slots...
>>335674252
Do you have the region restriction on?
>>335672886
that was fun
I have not even once been summoned for the wolf covenant.
I just want this unique greatsword, the special move sounds cool.
>>335674496
Some anons are so scared of social interaction, they'd rather spend tens of hours grinding instead
>>335674501
I've tried it both ways. It seems to have either no effect, or I get matches slightly faster when matchmaking is set to off which seems completely fucked up.
>>335674659
Join the club, you're going to have to farm that shit too. Fortunately they're easier and the drop rate seems higher.
Protip to PC players:
1. Set the game and steam to offline mode
2. Use cheat engine to get 100% drop rate
3. Farm all the shit you need in an hour or whatever
4. Get rid of cheat engine and go back to playing normally
Seriously fuck grinding, who plays souls games to grind.
>>335674447

>Some anons are so scared of social interaction
Who on /v/ isn't?
>>335674698
Who do you farm for it?
Finished all the required covenant shit today.
No greater feeling, desu. Mound Makers was most fun.
>>335674674
I've had darkmoon on for about 30 hours of playtime and haven't been summoned once
>>335675578
The three ghru outside of the Keep Ruins bonfire.
>>335675578
The tall satyr looking guys outside abyss watchers
>>335675578
From the farron keep bonfire near the abyss watchers, turn around and there's 3 of those poison bastards with the spears and shields, kill them, run back to bonfire, repeat around 200 times. There's also 3 at farron keep parameter bonfire, but they take longer.
>>335675578
The beast type humanoid enemies in Farron Keep drop them. The popular spawn point seems to be the 3 by that bonfire right before the door that opens with the 3 fires being put out.
>>335675686
is there a simple way to take the three at the ruins bonfire out? they usually end up stunlocking me til i'm near death, taking longer than the ones at the perimeter
>>335678130
Use the ring that muffles your footsteps, you can sneak up on them and take them out pretty easily that way.
>>335675578
i just let those darkwraiths kill those ayylmao monsters and looted them
holy shit 13 hours i'd kill myself. it must have taken me at least 5 to get all 30 and another 2 for the swordgrass. now i need to play the game almost 4 times over for rings and 2 endings.
>>335675632
Same here.
And yet my friend kept get summoned, first as Blue Sentinel and then Dorkmoon, all the way from Catacombs of Carthus, past Irythill and Anor Londo. Had over 80 ears at one point.
Meanwhile, I literally have never been summoned as a Blue Sentinel or Darkmoon or even as a Watchdog.
>>335672907
i had that shit on for at least 7 hours and i invaded one time. aldrich faithful i would be invading as soon as i got back into my world that's how quick it was. shackles, tongues, and medals took no time at all i had like 250 total tongues and medals by the time i went to hand them in.

You can't buy gold rusted coins en masse though so not really that helpful

Oh wow.

>>335674214

>>335680578
>matching level width increase
I don't think that will solve the problem, unless they end up completely removing all matchmaking requirements regardless of soul level or weapon level.
But that would make invaders prioritize blues over the host even more if they knew they had shitty gear.
>>335680695
[Items that are the main modifications and adjustment]
Pledge "sword of Kratky", adjust the matching level width of the "blue of the guardian"
Adjust the performance of the "dagger" category
Performance adjustment of the "double-sword" category
Adjust the performance of the "magic" category
Other modifications of some of the balance adjustment and the failure phenomenon
After this latest regulation applies, each version representation of the title upper left corner of the screen will be as follows.
Thank me later.
>>335680850
>sword of kratky
The what now?
>>335680756
The system is so broken right now you are far more likely to get banned from just getting invaded by someone who cheated.
People are getting banned randomly for killing the dancer early and progressing in lothric castle/graves
Also, as long as you keep the cheats plausible, they won't get detected. Changing your stats is a big nono, but consumables and locking your hp/fp values is undetectable.
Makes me feel good every time I kill a blue.

>>335681010
Its that sword you get after transposing the soul of Guardian Vaugh. It really needed a buff, considering how hard the boss was.
>>335681113

>>335681183
No straight sword nerf? Or UGS buff?
What are they smoking?
>>335681169
Fast weapons are busted for PvE, but anything can be viable in PvP. Just play with what you're good at. Don't cheese.

>>335681463
honestly who knows what's been balanced, the notes are incredibly vague even for japanese. it doesn't even say if anything was improved or nerfed. just "adjustments"
>>335674214
Is there no NPC is DS3 to sell your garbage to?
There was one in DS2 and my inventory was always in order.
>>335681642
I've done one of every infusionI would make every weapon refined if I could cope with the farming.
>>335681847
you can sell your shit to the grandma
>>335681856
Where do you even farm refined gems?
I have a bunch of Heavy gems, but Sharp and Refined I never have any.
>>335681907
So what are you waiting for?Go and sell this garbage.
>>335682051
The blue knight outside of dancer bonfire is the quickest way.
>>335682051
where do you get heavy gems? i'm the exact opposite, never have any heavy but i've got refined out the ass
Just dupe the items or something.
>>335682584
Ghru's in the swamp. I got loads while farming WolfGrass.
>>335682725
shit, really? i've been farming them for close to an hour, only gotten three swordgrass so far (kill me), didn't even know they could drop heavy gems
I just got to the kitchen in irithyll but seigward isn't here, what do?
I got him his armor from patches and gave it back to him down the well, though I didn't have the encounter with patches wearing the armor.
what did I fuck up?
I'm SL49, just killed deacons of the deep and now stand in front of abyss watchers. am I overleveled as shit? because enemies sure feel easy
>>335682584
I'd gladly trade you heavies for refined if we're on the same platform and you can even trade gems
>>335682889
yes
if you don't want to be op then don't grind
>>335682938

I just love sunbro'ing. What's the decent level for the area(s) after Watchers? Gotta spend those souls on consumables then
>>335683176
why would you buy a game and not rape it in the ass? no point if you're not going to do everything the trophies tell you to do.
>>335683013
I think I exhausted the dialogue, can I still go back to the well or is he ded already?
>>335683176
I don't want to go through the game knowing there's content I've not unlocked.
Why not just use cheat engine? Grinding in videogames is for morons.

I plan on doing a second playthrough where I can stay at a low level and properly grind out the items from each covenant.
But I don't want to start that playthrough until that NPC quest guide is updated to account for the changes made by the latest patch.
>>335683430
>>335683403
>>335683352
>>335683298
Trophys are great for giving you a goal to work towards to. I'm not a trophy fag, the only trophies I always do are the souls series games though. It's fun and it makes sure you know and see everything the game has to offer because many are tied to NPC questlines etc.
>mfw I'm actually sad when I got the plat for DaS3 because now there's truly nothing left for me to do
>>335683674
Are you him?I thought your laptop was too shit to play Dark Souls 3?
>>335683887

surely there isn't dlc already planned is there?
>>335683674

>>335683887

Same.
I would do it without the trophies though because I'm a completionest with souls games.
>>335683934
>>335683934

How is this shit fun? The fun ends after the game is finished once.
>>335683259
I have a lot of invasions happening in the catacombs as a SL40, so you go figure.
>>335684560

I had this shit happen to me while farming for those fucking concordsYeah I know, a picture of my computer; I did it so I could text my friends who play Dark Souls as well
>>335684785
So are the shitty grindy ones already present.
>>335684917
So don't do them then. Playing a game past the point you stop enjoying it is dumb.
>>335684835
Beat mine, depending on how rare you consider a drop with a concord.
>>335684958
Ok? I'm simply saying replacing retarded achievements with other retarded achievements would be stupid.
>>335684917
But the grinding one aren't fun for anyone
The challenging one would be fun for plenty of people.
>>335685020
Depends on how you define "retarded". killing the same enemy for hours on end to get a specific drop is retarded for sure but changing the way you play the game seems like something that might be worth doing.
>>335685150
Not if, like I said, it perpetuates the annoying culture surrounding the games. That's what DaS2 attempting, completely missing the point.

Tough, unique achievements > Grinding for hours upon hours
Good achievements put your skill to test, shitty achievements are just a matter of autism.
They're called ACHIEVEments for a reason, they shouldn't have to be easy, and the whole "Gotta 100% that game bru" is cancer, either way. They'd do the world a favor.

FUCKING YES!
>>335686528
>still no poise fix
>>335686528
>short sword
does that literally mean the short sword or all longsword equivalents
You'd think if they meant straightswords in general that's what they'd say
>>335686528
I hope the magic fixes mean tracking buffs and not damage buffs. I do pretty great damage already at softcap but christ if it isn't hard to hit people who know you're there. Alternatively it could just be damage buffs for the early game which would be alright I guess
>>335686528
>I put myself through hours of farming ears instead of waiting for a fix.
Well i'll still enjoy playing the fun police i guess.
>>335687032
Personally i want poise to be kept as it is. Its way too easy to get a shitload of poise and still stay below 70% weight. You will never see people wearing light armor if they turn poise back on.
>>335688114
i'm not asking for das1 levels of poise bullshit, i just wish there was any point at all to wearing heavy armor in 3
>>335687623
>>335686873
I take it these are buffs and not nerfs?
>>335688210
