Anyone else a bit disappointed about how easy this game was?
The boss designs were a lot more like Demon's Souls in that they were more gimmick-oriented and not WALK BEHIND BIG SWORD GUY AND HIT HIM which I really appreciate, but I feel like none of them had enough health or that they were too easy to figure out or something.
Every single boss only took me a max of 3 tries and most of them were dead on the first fight. I don't know if the game was just easier or if I've just played WAY too much Souls all ready but I was hoping for more of a challenge from what is probably the finale for the series.

It's because you have a lot of experience with the series.
Nothing will give you as much trouble as your first game because you got gud already.

Also a bunch of bosses were walk behind big guy with sword and hit him
>>
>>138724276
you need for your hyperarmor to start, which it does about midswing, doesn't matter how much poise you have.

actually your armor doesn't matter either, it hyperarmors fine while you're in cloth armor too
>>
>>138724276
Your hyper armor starts right before the attack actually lands. You have to anticipate/predict. Force them to trade every time they want to damage you.

I would think that the Lord of Cinder title belongs to those strong enough to link the fire. There may be others who deserve the title but for the purpose of the game, you need the souls of the 5 thrones to gain access to the first flame and make your decision.

This is more like. After several hundreds, possibly more than thousand hours spent with these kind of games it's not really surprising that people only have to get accustomed to new enemy/boss timings and that's it since they already know all the other shit by heart.

You miss a gorillion NPC invasions apparently.
>>
>>138724362
>Falling for the trick
There is no decision to be made. You can't link the fire. That was what Lothric was supposed to do. You killed Lothric aka the only person who could kill the Flame in addition to the other Lords which were supporting the Flame.

The First Flame is defending itself because you just killed everyone that had a chance of saving it and then show up at it's doorstep. You got rused. The game was rigged from the start.

so 200 weapon in the game, yet it seems only a few of them are actually useful. you either run a big ass 2h and smash/stagger everything or you run a 1h+shield combo and attack enemies when they hit your shield. the weapons you can get from the dancer boss or abyss watchers are meme tier that look cool when you swing around, but outside deacons of the deep and a few other areas they are shit.

It does basically nothing and the flame is doomed anyway because unkindled ash can't do shit for it. Firelink isn't the real one and someone summoned you not to bring the lords back but to murder them under the guise of linking the fire.
>>
>>138724391
Except I've never been summoned. Not once for blue sentinel. What level are you and where do you get summons? I've tried everywhere from irithyl dungeonl and earlier, to no avail.

Because it's easier to balance 20 weapons than it is 200. So From picks a dozen or so weapons and actually spends time balancing them and making them useful for their trade-offs. They then give the rest of the weapons shitty scaling because they don't want to spend time balancing all the unique weapons in the game as that would again take time.

>“First of all, yes, there is a perfect storyline in my head,” Miyazaki laughs right away when I ask about the title’s narrative design, which continues to be light on dialogue and cinematics but heavy on in-world flavour text and very purposeful map design. “However,” he’s quick to add, “I have no intention at all of enforcing that storyline to the players out there.”

“Only those storyline elements that actually make it into the game are something that I need to force players to accept as a base for building up their own interpretation of the world. There are things in my head that aren’t in the games, after all – so after that, it’s all up to the players. I have no intention in forcing any of the storyline upon any of the players out there, and there will be no official statements made about the ‘true’ story of the game.”

Now for the most important questions
Are you enjoying the game?
And are you having fun?
>>
>>138725258
Don't it's shit.
You'll only be using magic infused weapons and doing the same shit as any other build.
>>
Did they bring the paladin set from 1, or the armour that looked like it from 2 back?
I used to love that shit, artorias true greatsword, grass crest and as many lightning or sunlight spears as I can throw
Good shit
>>
>playing pyromancer
>want to level everything

>>
>>138724420
So should I go for dark sword over broad if I was planning to main broad?
>>
>>138725234
>heavy is usually useless

Heavy armor gives pretty gud damage reduction and your iframes aren't affect by <70% equip burden.

>most shields are dogshit

the best read: most cancerous meta is havelshield+estoc.

as for faith, if you actually build for it and use the rings, you can 1hk people with the sunlight lightning spear (or whatever it was called)
>>
>>138725303
Give them a taste of their own medicine by summoning someone and stunlocking them to death.

How to make faith good again.
>Blessed regen rate scales with faith to the point it's 10 HP a second at 50
>Remove the damage fall-off on Lighting Spears
>More weapons that actually scale decently when infused with Lightning or Blessed
>>
Alright so I killed someone in an invasion and now the shrine guy wants me to kill the Dark wraith in the deepest cell of Lothric

I've had a decent explore by can't see anything, found Greirat and thought he might be it but nope

Am I looking in the wrong place?

By the way Great Chaos Fire Orb requires 0 faith and 0 int, that's gotta be a bug right?
>>
I'm on my first playthrough right now, wondering with what weapon I should go. I intend on doing a quality build, so I'm looking for a quality-scaling straightsword.

I have both, a lothric sword and the regular longsword, and a refined gem. I suck with theorycrafting, though, so can someone more experienced tell me, which will scale better if upgraded to +10 refined on a 40STR/40DEX build?
>>
>>138725329
same shit happens to me. I just warp back.
>>
>>138725340
It was pretty enjoyable over all. Found it sort of easy because of how much time I've already sunk into Souls games.
Only part I hated was fighting Pontiff Sulyvhan because of how fucking hard the game likes to queue your rolls after taking a hit/blocking.
>>
>>138725312
I don't know what prioritizes it.

All I know is bonfire before abyss watchers is maximum danger
>>
>>138725359
I personally prefer broad to be honest for it's r2, but darksword is not a bad pick
>>
>>138725349
So I can't go though the whole game using spells on everything instead of melee weapons?
>>
>>138724992
My Windows Update isn't even doing anything. I'm more inclined to think it's an issue with Dark Souls because it doesn't happen with anything else
>>
>>138725372
But that damage reduction doesn't mean shit against most mobs, and poise just isn't the same
And great shields are aight, but I don't really use them with my build
I'd just say fuck it, get grass crest and use a greatsword, but they don't seem all that good either

>>Blessed regen rate scales with faith to the point it's 10 HP a second at 50
Too OP, consider that there would be faggots with blessed weapon in each hand + ring + miracle whose regen rate would be somewhere in the vicinity of 50HP/s and opponents would be basically unable to do anything about it.
It would also make estus useless and unbalance coop / invasions even more (every sunbro wouldn't be limited to his half estus charges anymore)

Okay I got a problem here with running DS3/performance, my specs are really shitty but I know that it's possible to run DS3 on low with mild problems(I even saw a guy recording shit without much performance problems), however to me it's just clusterfuck and unplayable experience, on "brand new nvidia drivers" my performance is around 10-15 FPS however it was somewhat stable even in fact on vast areas I had some processing at times, I heard that to improve performance you need to have old drivers, 314.22 or something, I installed them, had problem with launching a game(crash after load) but somehow managed to get through, FPS seem to be much better however game freezes almost on every turn and keeps processing even if I just run in circles in firelink shrine, any ideas how to fix it besides buying new PC which I obviously can't afford right now?
Specs are: CPU E7600 3.06/3.07 GHZ, Card : GTS 450, 4 gb RAM.
Any kind of help would've be nice, I struggle over this game like for 20 hours already and are pretty much desperate.

Tell me about it. My last 5 invasions were either 1v3 or the host just hides the whole time. I had some guy stuck near his bonfire, and of course he starts spamming every phantom summon he can find.

He keeps getting the same summon over and over. The guy won't budge to fight me until he has 3. Other phantom sees the host is a huge pussy and keeps using his crystal to leave.

>>
>>138725302
Early game is:
Carthus Flame Arc + whatever Raw weapon you wanna use. Try and rush 30/30 INT/FTH as fast as possible, as it'll make things easier because you're going to have to pay out the ass for your Pyromancies.

Endgame (PvP):
Chaos Fire Orb (freeaim fuckery), Sacred Flame (one-shot grapple), Profaned Flame (for chasing runners).

Make sure you have the Swamp Ring, Fire Clutch Ring, and Witch Ring and 30/30 INT/FTH at the least for optimal damage.

There's also a spell called Chaos Bed Vestiges that you can make from the Old Demon King's soul, but I haven't checked it out yet. Might be a better version of Chaos Fire Orb.
