My friend was using that and we could not get the third summon to pop up through password. Is this a sure thing and we were just running into problems?

All illusory doors are opened by hitting them with a weapon in this game.

Torn on which class to pick... Mercenary or assassin? Which one should i pick and why?
I think your problem might be to do with passwords rather than the phantom limit. Passwords were a bit sketchy in Bloodborne, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were here too.
70% and above is a fat roll, anything below is quick with a lower equip load heightening roll distance, I believe.

That moment when you push triangle to use a blood-vial... That moment when you attack an enemy after being struck and wonder why your health didn't return... Praise the Mo- I mean the SUN! Praise the god damn Sun!
Adjustments aside, I'm digging this game. Big time. I gotta cal it quits for the night though; game won't let me progress any further without a complete instillation. I'd be mad.. but I do need to eat and rest... so I ain't mad.

merc has a bit more optimized stats for what you're likely interested in doing with the char, but only slightly.
it doesn't really matter much but if you're anal I'd suggest merc.
Yeah. Bleed, Poison, and Toxin all scale with Luck -
makes it easier to buildup, does not add to damage
allows your sorceries to scale with Luck
People do this all the time with normal non-illusionary walls.

It seems like the mercenary should be able to do basically anything the assassin can do, right? Since the attunement starts only 2 lower than the assassin's... Couldn't i easily do a mercenary/assassin hybrid?
the only thing the class choice does is decide your starting stats and what equipment (and in some cases spells/miracles) you start out with.
the only "permanent" way it affects your character is if your starting class has higher stats in some categories than you need and you never raise them, therefore "wasted" points and a less optimal character.
assassin has higher faith and luck than mercenary, meaning those levels are wasted (unless you want luck for some reason, but currently there's no known reason to want to raise it).
you could use the faith if you built the assassin into a miracle caster, but in that case the int is wasted.
in other words, you should figure out if you want to scale int, faith, or neither, and then pick the starting class that wastes the least.

Depends on what you're leveling, really. Also, if you're having trouble, there's an NPC you can summon for Abyss Watchers.

Can't tell if Dark Souls III is tougher or I got worse after lots of Bloodborne.

This is a spoiler for a late game section of the game, but if you don't care feel free to watch. This is me and thebatdan killing an invader that had some bad luck and died very quickly.

Has anyone tried this https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming/releases/tag/8.4 ?
The lack of borderless is a fucking pain as I like to read gaf and whatever on my main monitor while waiting for someone to summon me etc

Your hollowing stat determines when you can use it again, and dying with sigils in your bag increases your hollowing stat.
I tried it, and it made the game run worse for me.
Sigils?

Kinda like Bloodborne?

Check your key items, you get a Dark Sigil every time you use his leveling option, for each Dark Sigil you have in your inventory you gain 1 Hollowing per death.

Anyone wanna give me a hand transferring some items to a new character? I'll give some upgrade mats in return.
Oh, on XB1 btw.

This game is so good. I thought bloodborne was amazing but something about the souls games has me hook right from the get go. Trick weapons were cool but Im glad this game gives us so many options again.
Significantly worse? Looks like it actually runs quite well for me (as in no noticeable drops in the first area), and it was a much smaller pain to set up than I thought it'd be lol
But it'll definitely be the first thing I disable if I start having problems in the future
Some questions:
- There is not a limit on mob spawning right?
- Switching to 2H via button hold and then L2 to activate a stance (which has some burst animation). You have to stay in 2H correct? Uses that manabar thing too. It didn't seem to change the attack animations but increases damage, am I correct?
- Luck is better in this series, but what is the difference between small gaps like 7 vs 11?
1. Nope
2. What you activated was the weapon's weapon art. There are a bunch of different arts, so be sure to check out the weapon's description, it tells you what the art does. Some add minor buffs, some are just simple attacks, some are stances that'll let you parry or attack etc. Not sure what it was that you used, but if it's a buff (makes the weapon glow or shine or sparkle or whatever) you don't need to keep two-handing it
3. Probably insignificant. Aside from item discovery, luck affects how easily you inflict bleed (and possibly other debuffs?), but I would imagine you need to invest at least 5-10 points into it to see any big changes
Don't forget your keys.
The more I help people with the first boss, the more I love the music
It's just
better every time
Are you playing alone or with summoned bros?
It's loading, or at least thinks it's loading, the outside area. Bug, most likely.

On 2. Every weapon type has a different L2 attack. The extra damage thing is Warcry from axes, clubs I think. You can check the item info to see what they do.

One hour in. First boss was a lot of fun. There's quite a few secrets around the first main area if you're searching for them. It's been rock solid for me so far on PC. No crashes or anything.
I assume it doesn't load the outside areas immediately to speed up loading times. Most people come back to firelink to just level up, buy items, etc.
