I'll check to make sure I'm not doing something full retard but at present I can't drop the sign, can't use orbs, and I never see a summon sign ever even if I'm embered up. I am online though, as bloodstains, messages, and ghosts are still everywhere. When I cure my hollowing it all seems to open back up.

I guess it's possible this is something changed in a patch I haven't played the game in like a month and a half

Maybe an obvious question, but you aren't modding/cheating or anything? Under some kind of softban?

No absolutely nothing like that. Playing on console. And I like I said everything works if I de-hollow myself, or at least that's what I'm perceiving. I'll do some experimenting later to make sure I'm not being colossally retarded and attributing some outside factor to the human/hollow process.

this is why pontiff is a billion times harder if you aren't parrying.

I think I got him on the 3rd or 4th try just by going light in armor and using a decent 2 hander. It took awhile though I got uner half health. But when I went back in NG+ with a parry shield, it went so much quicker. Parrying is easily the single best skill to sit down and force yourself to learn in the game

Are there any other known factors that prevent you from engaging online interaction? If there are then I don't know them so I could be misinterpreting what's happening.

Can you really call "memorization enemy animation timing" a skill?

In terms of the game? yeah. In terms of getting a job, impressing your peers or having an ability that means something in the world at large? no

you feel like you leveled up irl when you kill champion gundyr without getting hit by parrying him.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
I wish I could play ds3. Isn't there something wrong with it that'll make me feel better?

Kill the monster that is a little taller than you by stunlocking him or parrying him

Kill the monster that is a lot taller than you by running behind him and stabbing him up his rear end hole

You can tell how dangerous a big monster is by how quickly he can turn around

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
The art in Bloodborne is so awesome. There are some really amazing environments in that game.

On paper Bloodborne should be a disaster (victorian gothic vampire werewolf Lovecraft chtulu whatever) but goddamn, it somehow manages to be the cooolest looking game ever. Bloodborne so good.
