It honestly isn't that bad. There is like 20 rings you need to get from NG+ and 16 from NG++. If you ever plan to play through NG+ and NG++ just pick them up as you go.

im getting so sick of invading because of baiting tactics.
ill be ready to fight and the bozo will try to get me to follow him further into the level with harder enemies around, and of course those enemies dont touch him.
fight like a man!

beat the game as assassine time to beat the game as something else!
Wait until he surrounded himself with enemies and pop a Giant Tree Seed
Most spears are unfortunately a far cry from Oberyn's fighting style. Partizan is the only one I can think of that's in the ballpark. No clue how viable poison is in this game. Usually it's been pretty much a gimmick to cheese some tankier enemies. Bosses are usually immune to it and mobs die too fast for it to count. Infusion are easy to undo and change though so can't hurt to try.
SDR always a true bro
It's a normal tactic if you have summons with you. Though, from the way you talk, I would guess you prob don't.
Though, to be fair, they are invading you. They are suppose to kill you/upset you/ruin your progress as much as they can. If you don't like it, just stop playing by their rules. Go a different path, call a summon for help. One thing that I like doing when they do this (when it's 1v1), is proceed to waste their time and make them either time out or come to me. Granted, that last one will only work if you have a good bit of patience.
Lol no. I am there to troll you and get my rewards so anything goes. Just pop a Seed if that annoys you too much. If you catch them of guard it will kill them easily.
Partizan looks really good. I'll try that out. Thanks!
I'd take your offer for the rings. Lets goo

So I'm moving through this game at a snail's pace. I started it on launch day and I'm about to start Irythyl Dungeon. Been farming a lot of titanite and armor sets to just try things out. Also lots of covenant items since I prefer the solitude of offline.
I don't have much to say so far other than my experience has been immensely positive. So far, I think the stuff has been very well done while the old stuff we revisit makes sense (at least in the context of how I interpret the lore).
But the thing I really wanted to comment on was the score. The music in this game is as top shelf as any I've ever played. It's very sparingly used, but it's so effective. The Abyss Watchers theme really has stood out to me so far. It's so melancholy and perfectly encapsulates the tone of characters like Artorias and Sif. It's a lonely, sad song and it really speaks to what I find appeing a out this series. I feel like this game has atmosphere in spades and the musical touches are like icing on that cake.

I have no idea, I'm not that clever, haha.
Try verifying game cache?
Sure not on it's own, but considering I need to get like 90 covenant items ............ lol
what's the best way to get blade of darkmoon items? and where?

Figured out A
's tricks and took it down. Favorite fight in the game thus far, all about recognizing its options and preventing it from using them. I love bosses where you're hitting your head against a wall until it all clicks and you have it figured out (but still get rekt at the slightest error)

Always spawns in the furthest point from you, need to run and get right up in its face to skip the purple bullshit, which only leads to arrows of sadness. Without those ranged options it has nothing (besides the somewhat tricky timing on its spin slash)
Real Dark Souls 3 starts here.
Best place to farm those is
Anor Londo and the two Silver Knights on the stairs.
the Silver Knights archers after Pontiff but walks there are rather long so might be faster just kill the ones in Anor Londo.
He gets killed by rocks dropping from the boss fight. If you got the covenant item it doesn't matter anyway, that's pretty much his only purpose.

It keeps switching from "Download stopping" to "Update queued" in the games list.
How does backstab work exactly? Is it at all possible to backstab after sneaking up on an enemy? I can do backstabs quite often in combat if I'm able to get behind an enemy, but sneaking up on them and then trying to backstab an enemy never seems to work. Instead, I just attack regularly with R1.

bitch I'm taking calls.

I don't think I have ever gotten it to work whilst sneaking, your better off just opening up on them when your in range.
I've done it a few times but it does seem very finicky, usually by the time I've let go of the stick the enemy turns round. With heavy weapons a charged strong attack is much more reliable and seems to do more damage anyway.

FROM need to allow for us to remove stats though Rosaria. Would be amazing if I could respec from say level 100 to 90.
Wasn't that why he stopped playing Witcher 3?
Eitherway he's probably not reading the comments for the first playthrough so it's all good.
They should allow unlimited respecs. Soul Vessels were such a better system. DS III takes so many steps back in mp QoL from 2.

Weren't there a limited number of Soul Vessels...?

PvP was god-tier in DS2.
AFAIK there are no watchdog NPCs.
Chameleon spells feel kinda unfair now because of all the additional clutter in DS3 over the first two games.
Ah okay, it's definitely a Watchdog...curious to see how long he'll wait.
In Vanilla DK2. But SotFS kinda handed them out like candy. But even in the 1st version, there were more then 5. so was easier then DK3.
The same happened to me.
Turns out my SSD filled up, and don't want to delete other stuff.
I moved it to the spinning disk piece of shit disk but didn't really check if my save was preserved. Don't really care much, had done everything short of completing Archpeak; wasn't going to bother with NG+, may as well start over.

Agreed. I made a 120 quality build just to be able to use mostly whatever I want. I'm not going to do another NG+ every 5 respecs. in DS2 I respeced a ton of times. My minmaxing days are over.
You could use a bonfire ascetic to farm them indefinitely.
So... I'm at the undead settlement bonfire before the
.. but anyways even with ember on I can't seem to find anymore summon signs/names since I beat that boss. Is there something I'm not doing right? Do signs no longer appear if you've beat a boss close to the bonfire or something?
big tree boss.. already beat it and got the pit bonfire

Easier to get than Tongues. And unlimited via ascetics I guess.
Respec also doesn't count towards an offer. Respecced 4 times, and still had to trade 10 to level up.
Be a bro and die to him, those covenant rewards suck to get.

SotFS was a do over after how long? I think folk need to step off the gas a little. They'll patch the fuck out of this just as the did all the others to get them to their best state.
I think I'm settling with the Exiled Greatsword for my Quality but more STR focused dude. Felt like it's the greatsword with the best damage/speed compromise.
I know I could go with a Dark Sword, but that's boring.
Nope, gotta do it in your world.

Yeah. A revamped DS3 could be perfect, imagine a retooled PvP and better Covenant implementation for starters.
The best soul and ascetic farming spot has one thats also farmable and there is an area in the bastille with no boss you can also ascetic for them. DS II also allowed you to farm slabs in the base game. The devs got the mp crowd even if soul memory was a mistake.
Actually, I'm not really upset at all about the 5 per/etc. Was just stating that it was technically easier in DK2. 5 seems pretty reasonable to me

Booted the game up on the Xbox for the first time in a few days just now. There was an update waiting.
Finally, I thought, they've sorted it out so I no longer have to start downloading Alan Wake in order to get online. Nope. Still failing to receive latest calibration.
What the fuck is going on?
