So I remember reading somewhere in here that there's a patch coming at the end of the month that'll fix multiplayer. Do we have a source for that or is that just wishful thinking?

Vatek posted:Patch notes mention changes to matchmaking but they haven't expanded on it any further than that. Personally, I'm not gonna bother with a PVP-themed character unless that patch makes some major improvements on the 360 side. Well that's better than nothing, I guess. I just want to punish the guilty, drat it, From

Found the patchnotes: A bug where the effect of Magic Shield and Strong Magic Shield work even when not blocking A bug where there is a delay in incantation time brought forth by consecutive use of magic Revision of the Fog Ring's unfair effect on locking Revision of the effectiveness of Tranquil Walk of Peace A data read error during a complete map change Alterations to matching conditions/requirements (etc.) ※The details on the improvement of these items will be announced again at a later date At this time, we are truly very sorry to everyone for the great amount of inconvenience and trouble we have caused. Once more, we give our apologies. All of that owns. Can't wait. e: Oh yeah, read somewhere that they're rebalancing scaling and elemental weapons.

Hey, playing right now, bumped my router off and turned it back on. Not seeing messages or ghosts anymore, even though I'm connected to Live and I can get a reading off the Book of the Guilty. Tried quitting the game and resetting to the dashboard, nothing. Any ideas?

Hahahaha gently caress this poo poo, I died to the titanite demon after I killed the ninth bug in Lost Izalith without realizing that the sunlight maggot dropped. Can't find the drop anywhere and I've died a couple times since then. Am I completely screwed or can I still get the motherfucker?

prussian advisor posted:So is Resistance actually a useless stat? I put a point or two into it with my first character. It's not totally useless, but it's definitely use-impaired. It doesn't really contribute a lot to resistances and no weapons scale off of it, so most of the benefits you get from it are the same bonuses you get from putting a level into any stat

Olesh posted:Eh. I disagree. Two-hand it and you can block ghost attacks with it (although it's not as good as a shield), and ghosts go down to three quick R1 slashes, even without any upgrades. Yeah, but you can pop a curse and then kill ghosts in like one hit with whatever absurdly overpowered endgame stuff you want, and also block with a real shield and have armor reduce your damage

Elysiume posted:What does Hydra do attackwise? It doesn't appear to be blockable and it kills me in one hit. If you approach from the valley of the drakes entrance iirc you can have cover more or less the entire way to the lake. Get in there and stay close to the ledge and she'll stop shooting water blasts and start trying to eat you e: unless you're talking about the ash lake hydra, for that one just run between the stone dragon and the entrance until it fucks up a jump, lands on sand, and dies instantly. Just priceless

^^^I used Firelink shrine and just ran to the elevatorBall Stink posted:I really hate being in limbo with this game. I have no idea what I want to do. Do I test data with my level 710 twink? Nope, all data will be garbage. What about my reroll? Nnnnnnope, don't know the scaling letters of the new weapon or if scaling itself was modified internally... can't pick an upgrade path I *know* I'll be happy with. Aren't these just LETTERS under the item? I figured at least the most important items would be updated in wikis by now, if they are I missed it. Have you tried checking the Japanese wikis, dude? The patch has been out long enough there that most of this poo poo should have been updated. The wait's on this poo poo's breaking my balls, though. Every loving time I die because of the input lag glitch I get just a little bit angrier than I would because there's a loving patch that fixes this poo poo that we don't have.

sighnoceros posted:Easily. Seriously, Sen's Fortress is probably one of my favorite levels in any video game ever, it's just so hilariously nasty. I actually sat there for like five minutes laughing like an idiot when I got nailed by the spike elevator, it was just hilarious. I wish the second half of the game had been anywhere near as well designed.

sighnoceros posted:I sat there for like five minutes just LOOKING at the elevator before getting on. "Why is this covered in blood, I don't think this is a good idea...." Such a great area, and you feel so bad rear end running across the narrow bridges and dodging swinging blades and boulders and bombs and snake wizards and poo poo after you've gone through it a couple times. That was actually part of the reason I lost my poo poo over it, the first time I got to the elevator, saw the massive bloodstain, and said "Hmm, I should probably stay away from that." Ten minutes later I was walking back through, had forgotten about the bloodstain, and thought the elevator was a shortcut. Five seconds after I'd got on I remembered, then slammed straight into the spikes But yeah, Sen's is probably the best example of how Dark Souls level design should be. The first couple times through it's crazy deadly and terrifying, you've got no idea where anything is and what to do, and you're dying constantly. A couple trips later, you're getting your bearings and figuring out how to dodge the traps consistently. A couple trips after that, you're kicking lizardmen into traps and laughing your head off as you breeze through the level

Palleon posted:I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but can someone confirm that once I've unlocked the Chaos shortcut into Lost Izalith, that it will remain open for the current any any subsequent playthroughs even if I leave the covenant? Current playthrough yes, definitely. Subsequent playthroughs, don't think so.

Rikimaru posted:How the hell do you get out of blight town? I'm at the bottom bonfire near all that loving poison water and a huge water wheel thing. I went down and beat some huge fire spider bitch, and I can go further that way to get murdered by a larger fire bastard. But gently caress all that I just want to see day light again! Fastest way's to climb up the waterwheel, go around on a series of platforms, and come out through the Valley of the Drakes and New Londo Ruins. Careful on the waterwheel, it's stupid easy to fall to your death climbing off

ThePhenomenalBaby posted:You're comparing two sets from completely different categories. Black Iron set is a heavy set and weighs I believe like 10 pounds more total. OK, the reason I didn't like it is because I felt like medium-weight armor as a class is kind of crap until you get enough endurance to wear a reasonable set and still get the super-roll. Most sets were a little too heavy to get the good dodge roll without slotting Havel's Ring or the RoFaP and they didn't have nearly as much poise as a good set of heavy armor. Sure, within its class the Embraced set is good but I felt like its class is pretty much inferior to having a good light armor set and a good heavy armor set on-hand.

ThePhenomenalBaby posted:Well that's the thing isn't it? If you don't have enough stamina to equip heavy sets without wasting a ring slot, but do want more defense and poise than what's provided for you from light sets what sets do you go to? It all depends on your build, and just saying it's straight up trash when you aren't built for or don't need it because you stacked stamina is being disingenuous. Yeah, I guess that's a fair point. I don't know, I just kind of assumed everyone stacked end to the point where heavy armor was totally doable. I mean why the hell wouldn't you, it's so obviously the most generally useful stat in the game

If you don't kill him, he'll kill Rhea after you rescue her. It's also heavily implied that the reason Rhea and company disappear is because he left them to die. He's one of like three actual NPCs all game I don't feel bad at all about killing.

Sarkozymandias posted:they make it a series of smaller levels like Demon's Souls instead of the giant continuous open world that gives me vertigo whenever I think about it. You crazy, the giant open world is one of the best and coolest changes they made going from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls. All I want in terms of level design is for any late-game gimmick levels to be a bit better designed than Lost Izalith or to a lesser extent the Tomb.

EC posted:The new director says he wants to make the game more "actiony". :/ Weren't there two Monster Hunter games in his CV? Because if so, that shouldn't be that much of a problem, the Monster Hunter games do action at least as well as Dark Souls. I mean, I'm not sure how FROM and N-B ended up at "this formula works well and was very successful, let's change it completely," but that doesn't necessarily mean what we get is going to be bad.

Sir Ilpalazzo posted:I think the actual similarities are pretty vague, but the Souls games remind me a lot of the first Devil May Cry game. The others are a lot more over-the-top. Yeah, that's more or less what I'm saying. The game's going to end up being different, but we've got no idea yet if the gameplay's going to be good or bad and making that call based on two interviews is a little premature. I don't like a lot of the stuff we've been hearing, but it's still too early for full-on doom and gloom. Also whoops, sorry, that CV that was posted earlier in the thread threw me. Which set of mecha games has he worked on, do you know? Was it Chromehounds or Armored Core? e: whoops just looked it up, guess it's Another Century's Episode. Anyone play that? Was it any good?
