Going with a shieldless mage build ATM. So many stats to allocate, goddamn. Never did magic before in DS. Pretty bummed out I got the black knight halberd though, would have went with that if it weren't for the stat investment I already did.

Got invaded once now and engaged in cooporation twice. The invasion was pretty funny, even though the guy was massive twink.

The netcode is as garbage as ever though, even with Wulfs connectivity mod. Summoning failed all over the place and no one is summoning me.

>>340672690

Starting gear is fine, drop the shield if you get a good 2h weapon. Balder side sword is fine too.

warrior has great for weapons right from the start. zweihander and winged spear in firelink, estoc in new londo, claymore and halberd in the parish. elite knights armor is in darkroot, stone knights is in the basin if you have enough souls for artorias's crest; you'll need poise if you opt for greatswords

Okay, so I've played this game a lot but never really done much co-op. There's no point in me summoning anyone and I don't want to overlevel to get in normal co-op range so I'm basically limited to the tauros demon and maybe the gargoyles. I guess I'm supposed to just wait until someone summons me then deprive them of the enjoyment of fighting the boss? Or what else do you do when you're summoned?

Not either of them, but they are by far my worst boss if progressing through the game normally.

Just yesterday I went down and got the mask of the father, killed queelag and rang the bell, collecting some stuff on the way, all without dying or activating a bonfire. Didn't get hit on queelag even.
But the gargoyles killed me twice when I done them straight after.

In fairness, they're one of the tougher bosses in DS1 by a pretty wide margin. Most of the bosses in that game are a joke to the stuff in the other Soulsborne games.

>>340682971
Crest Shield, stay close and always dodge to the left

Only use the shield for their AoE attack and magic projectile

Watch out for the grab attack, it's practically impossible to dodge but unless you're SL1 like I was when I fought them last it won't 1HKO you

Keep wacking them even as they die, it stil does damage to their overall health bar

Git gud

what he said >>340685415

power within doesn't scale with pyro glove's mag adjust so you can use it even with unupgraded
>>
>>340682971
>>340685415

or another strategy:
-full havel
-grass crest shield
-weapon with great damage

staying close to them, just spam RT/RB, don't care about the damage till 1/3 hp - and then regenerate. You just need to back up if the does his aoe. Magic Projectile can be blocked mostly with shield.

it's a pure DPS battle, dont waste your time in dodging/blocking

just got it. does it connect to nodes automaticlly or do i have to check a box or something or enter an ID. watchdog still shows 0 nodes with DSCM running, i must be doing something wrong.

Just run it in admin mode, increase the 20 nodes to 32, and run dark souls. I don't use watchdogs so i'm not sure how they work together, but you'll see all the nodes on DSCM
>>
>>
nobody up for co-oping?

what's the ideal level for helping out at gargoyles?
>>
>>340686190
when you actually enter the game with char it should start filling node pool
you enter id if you want to connect to certain player
watchdog should show correct number of nodes (players) you are connected to
>>340686420
they work together without issues as watchdog only dispalys nodes and is mostly anticheat measure

>>340691442
it's entirely possible you invaded a ng+ player, but that's thinking optimistically. i've been invading with normal +10 weapons cause it's enough to be threatening but not enough to be ridiculous. being half naked helps as well

nope, i made a totally new character today. sl 50

my biggest complaint would be the game has a few abominable textures. like god awful puke. Heide's Tower of Flame comes to mind.

Randomized loot for non-respawning enemies is bullshit. I'm considering save-scumming for the other Black Knights.

I've finished the game before offline a couple months ago and I just started playing it again today. Online I got invaded by some cunt when I was level 15 where he just poisons me and even when he let me auto attack him for free he had too much HP for me to finish him before the toxin wore off.

I've stopped walking around in human form because of that encounter because I presume I'm just gonna get my ass handed to me again in a similar manner.

Hasn't pretty much everyone replayed DaS1 in preperation for DaSIII already months ago? Or am I the only one?

Either way, bad timing for me. Not up for yet another re-run, but enjoy yourselves. How many players?

Holy shit. It's like I'm playing on launch day.

>>340694867
I've been getting very mixed results. Invading as a dickwraith is fast and works flawlessly, but I haven't been summoned for co-op once in ~30 minutes of waiting total over a session that lasted a few hours. Forest PvP is weirdly inactive, I guess people haven't gotten that far yet or something? I would get summoned for it once every few minutes.

It feels fucking good to finally be playing some PvP where a skill advantage translates to actually winning fights though, and being able to punish Estus healing is a godsend. Going up against people with summons is actually fun in this game. I'm having such a good time, I hope people stick around past this weekend.

if you're a darkwraith your summon priority is less than that of a sunbro/way of white/princess guard

I've been playing on different characters and/or switching covenants when I get bored. Doesn't seem to make a difference if I'm a sunbro or not. Kind of a bummer, I keep winning duels so I wanted to help people for a while instead.

Anyone on xbox, at any level, feel like ganking with me?

WHY THE FUCK AREN'T I SEEING ANY SUMMONING SIGNS IN UNDEAD PARISH

>>340693623
The idea is you can gain all the items through NG+. If you want your best chances of them dropping gear don't touch them until you gain the golden serpent ring and have a lot of humanity on you.
>>
>>340697008
Or just wait until you get to the Kiln since they respawn indefinitely there? It's not like it takes all that long to get to the end of the game if you're serious about rushing through it.

Holy shit I completely forgot how hard wheel skeletons were.
They were so neutered in DaS 2 and 3.

Also was DaS1 always this clunky?

>>340697367
The animations take longer and there's delay on a lot of actions that has been significantly cut down in the recent games. Also you can only roll in 8 directions.

Depends on your opinion whether you think that's clunky. They've definitely tried to make the game feel smoother to play recently but I personally feel like the slowness is actually a big part of why this game works so well.
>>
>>340697961
It works well in das1. It is just weird getting used to it after so much BB and das3. And monster hunter also fucks me up somehow.

Maybe clunky was a little bit to too harsh. That should be reserved for dark souls 2.

Dark Souls 1 doesn't hold your hand nearly as much as the others, you might not know where to go to make use of faith.

Really guys?
>>
>>340698187
Maybe it's just that I've played so much DaS then. I definitely have trouble playing BB after long breaks from it, DaS3 is pretty easy for me to get into though so is DaS2, after I remember to level ADP.

I miss this style of gameplay a lot, it's great how deliberate and grounded the combat feels.

>>340699486
It is not so much more deliberation just more focus on timing. Especially BB had so many more options which meant more deliberation. Just a lot faster.

I mean I don't hate DaS1 but it isn't engaging anymore in comparison.

I'm referring to these two. My online is still a little even it takes a few minutes for signs to sart showing up. summons are 50/50. Invasions are pretty good though.
