I knew about the chain, but the charm part is something completely new to me :) niiiice...

Anyways, it's friday, I am back from work, chickenpox fucked me up so bad that I will not go out drinking for the next few weeks, so it's time to load my ridiculously op lvl 16 char and terrorize noobies on the wall :D got 11 tongues yesterday ;)

Edit:

Btw, I can confirm that it's possible to invade an NG+ player using a red eye. Got annihilated by a guy who had end game armor and weapons on the wall. Not sure if level difference wasn't an issue, or he was under lvl 36...

PVP is also supposedly based on your highest upgraded weapon as well.

It bothered me having bonfires sometimes spaced so you could see one from the other and when it had a shortcut back to a previous bonfire from one you just lit, that ended up confusing me several times as well. Or I would want to go back to a specific area and could not remember the name of the bonfire.

I know I was bound to miss things on the first playthrough but I also question if somethings might've bugged out a bit for me as well, I started a play session once in a new area and kept coming across corpses that I assumed would have items but they didn't appear until I retread the area (from getting confused because I'm sick in the head and inadvertently started backtracking).
And how!

the bonfire pacing in 3 is just really whacky. I mean look at this shiet

(click to show/hide)

after catacombs boss you have 3 bonfires all right next to each other also. then areas like cathedral/lothric/dungeon you gotta use so many lifts and stuff, which in comparison makes no sense.

I shit you not, on both my 2nd and 3rd characters, they BOTH dropped the aravice on first mimic kill (deep battle axe mimic).

I don't know what % chance that is, but wtf RNG, wtf.
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

Smoldering Lakes is by far the worst area in the game.

Yeah, some areas would be right at home in Demon's Souls, some others feel like another DS2 DLC, in bonfire placement and shortcuts especially.

Catacombs and Lake are bad. Just bad.

I think the reason is simply to split and label new areas, bosses always have a bonfire, but then you need one to know instantly that youre going to the archives.

Just finished the Usurp the flame ending. Probably the best one but it's a toss up between that and the darkness one.

My final char on this one. Went sorcerer and just used the katana from the firelink shrine the whole way through.

Katana? ewwww, gross. But sorcery was actually pretty fun in this game, although it made me basically only pull mobs with spells, then buff weapon to kill stuff. I just wish sorcery had more tracking, and it would be great.

Just beat Aldrich, pretty tough, took me 3-4 attempts there but my +6 dark sword prevailed.

Doing the big magic attacks during the arrow attack is just silly.

Watch out at the pontiff bonfire if youre pvping, some guys mod their weapons to give you a bunch of souls so you get softbanned if he hits you.

At the very least you should back up saves, because if you get tagged by the cheater you will get a notice later before being banned, so you can replace your save with an old one to remove the cheated stuff and be safe from the ban.

I'm gone for a few days and this thread is filled with casuls  :mad:

@Falka, DS3 makes it really easy to navigate around and find areas apart from one or two. I don't see how you're having difficulties with that. You're also complaining about boss difficulty when you're only in catacombs, where the difficulty kinda picks up,
(click to show/hide)

For the swamp area, sure it's annoying and confusing but that's Souls tradition, like Oberyn said. Other than that I had no troubles with it, it's not that confusing once you take a look around it for a bit, poison does like no damage in DS3 so I don't see how you can even struggle in that area. Don't even need no daggers to cheese through it, it's not hard.

but its funny I still haven't beat the 2nd last boss, even though I got to it now on 3 of my characters. (steam says 174 hours but I do leave it running sometimes).

Which boss is that?
