that is awesome that armor may actually mean something now, instead of just having another round of fashion souls

How important/not important is luck? I do like to collect items in the Souls series.

well you can go a build that scales damage off of luck

What stats do I focus on if I want to make a viking warlord warrior dude bro that just smashes poo poo to pieces with an axe and uses absolutely no magic?

strength, dingus. basically ignore luck, faith, int, atn, only have the minimum amount of dex needed. level str, vit, vig, end

My PS4 has largely made me resent playing games on my PC, since they load quicker, run smoother without craashing, and use a controller that doesn't hurt my hands.

Any suggestions for how to create my character? I'd like to have a fairly simple to play guy, but also have the ability to use some decent magic/ranged attacks. Basically make it quite noob friendly since I've played Bloodborne, but not any formally Dark Souls games.

Start as a herald if you want to cast miracles (supportive magics mostly, some offensive ones), an assassin if you want to cast sorceries (pew pew bolts), or a knight if you just want to facetank poo poo

Has anyone spoken to you about our lord and savior, lighting things on fire? Even with the minimal stats for Pyromancies, that's still enough to probably use every Utility spell in the game whether it's a Sorcery or Miracle.

Note to self actually make sure I can cast safe fall early on this time. Assassin comes with that spell, on that note. The stabby with a side of Sorcery start, to the Herald's stabby with a side in Miracles.

You're in luck, they don't just get Safe Fall/Fall Control. Fall Control and Hush have now been combined into Spook, so now you are quiet and have the fall bonus.

Just beat an evil oak tree boss. Fucker killed me 20 times, I swear. I ate its soul out of spite. I now have no clue where to go.

In the meantime, the search continues for my beloved winged spear (or just a really good spear). The halberd has been great so far, but I long for my old friend.

I have also noticed that new armor is hard to come by. Any one know of some good finds?

can't you get a partizen really early on?

Any reports on how the co-op/PVP works?

Is it still really wonky netcode poo poo with lagstabs and warping players? I hope not.

I also heard Bloodborne had some really dumb co-op thing where you needed a specific consumable item to do any sort of co-op? DS2 had soul memory and you were practially forced to use the name rings if you wanted to play with a specific friend of yours. What Ireally liked about DS2 co-op though was the small soapstone and the fact that you get fully restored if you help out someone successfully.

What's the situation on DS3?

+ or - 10 levels (going up to 15/20 at 50 and 100, i believe)
+ or - 2 weapon levels
soul memory is no longer a thing
can only be invaded or summon phantoms if you're embered but embers are VERY plentiful

Think I finally found a weapon I'll use for awhile. Thrall axe is a fun little hatchet that has the dash art, which seems insanely useful. Especially if you aren't using a shield. Gonna have a hard time using a weapon without one, as I keep finding more and more uses for the dash.

can you attack instantly after dashing? if so i guess i can see it being useful as a quick-roll

I wonder if my game is broken. I can invade others just fine and summon both purple and regular phantoms, but no one had invaded me. I'm embered, of a normal level for the area, and using the withered finger.

Run away and use the levels enemies to tour advantage. Managed to win a 1v3 earlier in undead settlement that way.

also when people summon me as a purple they just attack me on sight as well. kind of pointless
