fuck the first boss.
Yes and no. It instantly ressurects if you kill it. Gotta find the true body and put it down.

Depending on what 40/40 means for you, I might just cry myself to sleep tonight.
Maybe it's just the fact that I'm on NG+3, but I'm really not enjoying the amount of things that seem to be designed to make you run past it. Five billion projectiles, one million fat dudes. I think it's the first time I've ever skipped enemies on my first playthrough of a Souls game.
The first boss was amazing, though.

How do you access the DLC? I stopped at the last vanilla boss
Just behind the Kiln bonfire (the one before Cinder) there is another bonfire which warps you to the area.
Oh wow I couldn't summon

Ok this is driving me nuts, how do you get at this treasure: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2860/33693392975_d735a64d7f_o.png
EDIT: As is always the case, I figure it out 5 minutes after asking.

Depends. Did you meet Kaathe?
It warms the cockles of my heart to browse GAF and Reddit and see all these positive comments. It's still early, but exciting all the same. Can't wait to see impressions and lore speculations flood in once more people finish it.
Personally, I'm a bit bummed because I won't be able to play properly during launch week. I want to sit down and pick through it slowly, listening to dialogue line by line and soaking in the implications of the environments and knowledge gleamed from items, etc.
Ideally, I'd like people to share this experience with me; people who appreciate the same aspects of these games; people to bounce ideas around with. If anyone's interested, I can post when I have a better streaming schedule outlook, or at least keep the archive on YouTube.
I realise there are a lot of popular streamers and v-loggers out there who are already blasting through, and I have no hope (or intention) of catching up. So if anyone would prefer to take a more thorough, in-depth look as things progress then I hope to try and fill that tiny niche.

If you finish DS1 and also mention the super best friends then yes i would be getting hyoe for what is in store.
This dlc sure has a lot more weapons than the first dlc right from the start.
Dark Souls 3 doesn't use steam cloud, yea :<

Shout out to From for taking a huge risk, going against the mainstream COD market that dominated that era, and making one of the greatest RPGs of all time. I'm not gonna lie and say I'm a huge fan, but damn it do I respect these guys.
I'm going to take this as a sign that I'm not even close to finishing DS1.
I just got the lord vessel. What percentage am I at?

You're like half way
Alright, I think I'm close to the second boss, and that's it for tonight.
I'm really not feeling the level and encounter design. Maybe I'm just resisting change, but I'm honestly not liking it at all. I need to try it on regular NG after that to see how it goes, maybe it's better.
The first boss was amazing though, so I'm very excited to fight the rest. I'm not sure I even care about the lore anymore.

dumb questions but is there a borderless window fix for the game and if there is, is it allowed or would i be banned for "cheating"?

I'm loving the level design, but in many ways, the encounters are as bad as I feared. I had a feeling they were going to continue throwing projectiles and homing crap at you, and just have enemies taking up every square inch of the level. I don't think I'll ever come around to actually enjoying running around the first area on replays.
I love everything else about it. The world they've created here has smashed any expectations I had. Wow.
That must suck.
I don't have the bonfire at the
and I haven't beaten AoA, what gives?
I've rebooted my PS4, it says Ringed City on the title page... so I have to summon help and clear AoA to move on?
Uh oh.
EDIT: I warped away and back again and the bonfire appeared. If anyone else has this happen try that I guess.

I'm a bit after th first boss and these enemies have been a huge step up. I got a better understanding of what the first dlc was about lore wise and i am liking where this is going.
I think so far the message i get from this dlc is that "it's ok to cheese it and use everything at your disposal to win", i found out tactics to circumvent some asshole enemies. It's fantastic how deliberate everything is and i'm only just starting to fight the new super badasses in town.

Finished the main stuff, what a disappointment, at least some of the bosses were excellent.
I thought so too but then i got rid of them and had fun exploring.
My tactic was to hide where they couldn't shoot me and when they use
the curse aura

Not surprised by the negative vibe in the topic. It is Dark Souls III DLC. No matter how people want to pretend it's a beloved game...I'll see for myself when I get there with my build of choice. Ashes was fantastic IMO, so I expect to love it. Dark Souls III and Bloodborne best Souls game. YOLO!

Shit i'm on new game plus, I gotta beat the game again to get to the end to access the DLC?
Really unhappy with the performance of the DLC on my rig. I had issues with the first DLC too but nothing like this. It bounces back and forth between 30-60 fps, depending on the area. Makes playing it extremely difficult, especially against bigger monsters. I'd wait for patches but I don't have a lot of confidence in From when it comes to this area.
