On topic of PvP is anyone else noticing that during certain times pretty much all their PvP capabilites disappear? Like all the summon signs outisde Pontiff Fire have disappeared for me at the moment but they usually come back in the next day. But during this time I can't PvP at all. A handful of summons, but no invasions, no gold summons or anything like that. Just get like 2 or 3 dark spirit summon signs.

Of course. It lasts for about 12 hours a day and is fucking annoying because it means I can literally only PvP during certain times. The time that it doesn't let me is pretty much right after I get home from work as well, so I can only PvP on days off.

Pic related is Pontiff for me right now. I can still get these summon signs fine, but they only pop up every five or so minutes. Anyone else had this or know a way to fix it? I've tried resetting my network settings, restarting my router (which worked once) and nothing.

The r1 into spin slash is 4 guaranteed hits and with 40 luck plus carthus rouge against someone with low bleed resist that is very possible. You can do a similar this with the Carthus Curved Sword, which is just the Storm Curved Sword moveset with the spin slash special and bleed. Very powerful.

I've had this happen to me before although mine lasted over two days.

Had heaps of summons/invasions when suddenly they all just stopped, after a while I got suspicious and checked other characters and they had maybe 1-2 summon signs down where there'd normally be dozens, used family sharing to transfer character and there were dozens like your pic in >>336459756, went back to other account and they were all gone.

Got no idea what caused it but if you don't mind playing on a second account you should look into family sharing the game to yourself.

Yeah. Depends on what stat you want them to scale with.


Some weapons like Winged Spear, Murakumo, Carthus Curved Greatsword, and Astora Greatsword have S scaling in fth and int respectively if you infuse them with lightning or crystal. The Butcher Knife has an S scaling in strength at +10, but like the lightning/crystal infused weapons you can't buff that one either with spells or items.

I'm trying that shit out on a new character and it's... workable I guess? Does it get any better once you reach 40+ dex and upgrade it to 10+?
>>
>>336479274
I mean, you can use it in PvE but it isn't good. Expect to get dicked in PvP. It basically has straight sword damage with a slower, less diverse moveset. Or alternatively it's a halberd with less damage and less range (and no combo potential). Weapon skill is utter garbage as well and I have literally never seen the frost proc on any enemy or player ever.

scaling might make it hit decently hard at some ridiculous dex value but I've never tried
>>
>>336479147
Frost is just a useless affliction. Bleed is decent, poison is pretty trashy, but frost is 100% useless. It barely does anything. I think it's like a tiny little bit of HP lost, and some stamina loss, with possibly a minuscule amount of stam regain debuff. What is even the point?
>>
>>336479490
Yeah, that's pretty much my own experience with it as well. Been doing OKAY in PvP with it so far, but that's mostly due to horrible players rather than it being good.

The only good thing I can say about it is that the range sometimes trip people up in PvP, like it has longer range than it first appears to have. The stam cost for attacking and mediocre damage is disappointing though.

Have to agree, halberds are probably better. I got tricked by that crazy dex scaling, but I doubt it's worth it.

>>336479638
Poison is 3dmg/sec, if I could have a weapon that inflicted frost reliably vs one that inflicted poison I would definitely pick frost. Still, speaks to From's incompetence that 2/3 status are completely worthless (and bleed sucks dick on any weapon that can't be buffed with carthus rogue)

I think it has more to do with the fact that it has to drop from enemies instead of being found reliably.

Why is the player always a manlet in these games? I don't get it. Every knight you meet, and pretty much most of the regular hollows too, are like twice your weight class. Then you have the cathedral knights where they're like 3 times your size. What the fuck are these guys eating to grow so ridiculously huge? Or are the Unkindled/NPCs in Firelink Shrine just midgets? (This is not even going into humanoid bosses, who are sometimes up to 5 times larger than you.)
>>
>>336480973
They weren't good and nobody used them so I think they figured nobody would mind if they dissapeared.
I used the twinblades though. I even did ok in PvP because people didn't know the moveset since it was never used.

He's not. In the other games, the humanoid enemies were usually the same size as you.

Not really. The level 1 naked hollows, sure, but even the Balder knights from DS1 were like 6'7 if we assume the player is around 6'

>>336483963
Sure, that works for giants and bosses and stuff. But what about the supposedly REGULAR HUMAN KNIGHTS that just roam around the map? They're also fucking large as fuck. Just compare yourself to a Lothric Knight. The difference isn't as huge as between a fat angel knight, but still very noticeable.
>>
>>336484078
Following that line of logic, shouldn't the player grow as his SL increases? I mean, it would be kinda unwieldy to grow too large to fit through a fucking doorway at like SL200, but I don't see why the player would be excemt from that.

the charge can be parried but failing that try rolling towards the person charging, if you roll backwards or to the side you're going to get caught in the stunlock and sweep with its crazy tracking. Don't try blocking the weapon art without a greatshield as you'll probably get guard broken.

Holy fuck
I didn't think this game really had any weapons that really stood out. Nothing that really spoke to me.

This thing though. Jesus fucking christ.
When I first started testing out all the different weapon classes I was pretty disappointed by how they all felt. I really didn't expect to find my favorite weapon in the whole series.
The AR isn't that high, but that's a good thing because it wouldn't be as fun if you didn't have to actually outplay your opponent a bit. The weapon arts are both incredibly useful and a single simple offhand weapon lets you use one every 2 seconds infinitely.
It makes fantastic use of the greatsword moveset even with the worse of the 2 R2s. The R1s are perfectly timed to hit people trying to punish a weapon art, the R2s fuck people who try to parry the R1s, it has just enough hyperarmor to beat out katanas and straight swords while remaining fast enough to play around UGS and great axes.
So far the only weapon class that feels like an even matchup are halberds, and honestly that's probably just because I usually have trouble against them.

>>336485956
It's great. It does fire damage and has two weapon arts. There's the L1/LB attack that thrusts and shoots a beam that has a quite a bit of range to it (that's how I finish off most of my opponents with low health in PvP or PvE) and an L2/LT that does a fiery uppercut that sends out a little bit of fire as an after result. It doesn't require any INT or FA, but I invested into both just tad bit (stopped at 20 for both). Most people that try to parry me fail and get caught in a 3 hit combo that takes away a lot of their health if they are wearing anything fire resistant. I would recommend fusing them anyway and giving it to a fresh character (seeing that the stats are not that high to use. 22 STR and 14 DEX). It's a very powerful weapon to start a new journey with.
