I want to play the game, but PC optimization is apparently pretty bad, and my machine might be not in the best condition to play a contemporary AAA release My HDD is pretty shot, my CPU is outdated as fuck, and while my GPU is literally the recommended card, apparently it's also one that a lot of issues are being reported on I could fix all those except the GPU problem pretty easily but I've been putting off installing the new hardware for about a year
i love lappland
i probably have a worse pc than you the game runs about the same no matter how good or bad your pc is the frame issues are optimization related if you can run DaS3, this should run fine
Anno
I still think I'll hold out to see if they do some early post-release optimization patches It's not like I've got a dearth of games to play anyway
Anno
Also I can't understate how much trouble gaming with my current HDD is I made the mistake when I bought it back in 2016 of not getting a model which ran at top read speed in the first place, and then years of running it has really decimated it's ability to read information from it, especially if I haven't restarted my PC recently Any modern game with high quality 3D visuals often takes an exhaustingly long time to load up on it, if it's not just giving me low-res textures after giving up trying to load them dynamically

>>1031226 The segment I was stuck listening to focused mostly on Putin's offer of peace talks, which Zelensky countered by asking the talks take place in Germany (I can't remember where Putin wanted then but it was a more Russian compromised location) Of course the RT framed it as Zelensky refusing peace talks and brought on some American correspondents to say how it's an error and it doesn't matter if the talks were in good faith or not, Ukraine needs to come to the table to avoid bloodshed and avoid another world war situation They don't outright say shit like "Russia good Ukraine bad", they even make sure to emphasize this all is awful and some of the correspondents got in lines saying Russia shouldn't have done this But nothing in the overall message was a support of Ukrainian defence and generally assumed this was as much Ukraine's fault as it is Russia's
>>1031343 Sekiro and Elden Ring are pretty different games Elden Ring is more in line with a normal Soulslike game with similar tactics and punishment, but with some tweaking for the open world nature of the game Sekiro is a big departure from the combat and base game mechanics of Soulslike games

the performance is my only issue with it hope they fix it soon, the game is gorgeous on high settings but the stuttering is unbearable unless I set it to low

the business management side of all that is really where all the work is at though drafting up a bunch of business proposals that may never even be seen but it's fun to survey all the various fields and find openings i need to find more use cases in fields that have deep pockets though, a lot of these are just silly and have no realistic application anyone would want to fund

>>1031619 Vtuber fans are pretty creative in how they celebrate their oshi's birthday From putting Ina up on Times Square, to NijiEN's Enna's birthday where they made a whole interactive website with songs, thank you messages, a cake-making relay I think Ollie's fan discord has also done big digital canvases where fans left illustrations and messages
Previously Hololive talents especially got some pretty crazy and extensive physical gifts for birthdays too, but they killed that practice when it became apparent some crazier fans and/or antis were using the gifts to plant Bluetooth tags to track the talent's home location, or were planning to at least I guess when that practice ended they turned all their devotion to creative gifts

i wonder if grocery delivery people get annoyed when i order a whole lot of stuff so they have to make like four trips to bring everything in i try to be considerate of that and not overdo it like buying those 24-packs of paper towels or 50 pound bags of cement i try not to order anything over 5 pounds as a single item really
idk i wouldn't think it'd be a big deal but a lot of times (not always) my deliverer is really pissy but i can't discern whether that's the job altogether, just my delivery, or they feel that way about their whole life i tip pretty generously too unless they deliver it to the wrong apartment/wrong building/wrong street which is almost half the time (there's 4 buildings on two streets and a lot of people have carelessly just stopped at one of the buildings at random and decided that was it)
>>1031628 I might be projecting my own feelings of doing a job for the sake of a job here, but I would imagine while it probably annoys them, it's still within the job description, so they tolerate it Like sometimes a problem is more than you'd like, but dealing with that problem is a part of your job description, so you deal with it I think the level of consideration you're already giving them is more than enough, and probably more consideration than most people who order their groceries in bulk give

hyperbole aside, there are some common goods with comparable heft, like cat litter buying the bulk cat litter for cheap is a dreadful chore to carry dog food gets up there too those big water-cooler tanks even my rabbits' food comes in 20 pounder bags, but i buy the 5lb or 10lb instead cubic meter of milk all those kinda things

the duck IS pretty cute hmm ill have to see the finals as well and by that i mean there's no way im playin the game anyway but i still have to have an armchair opinion
Anno
I'm going to be keeping my eye on the news of the game I'd like to play it, but I already skipped Sword/Shield because I didn't really like the direction they were going, and some of the other shoddy things about it bothered me too But I'm interested to see what they might've incorporated from Arceus and if they can make a more engaging game their second time around on the Switch A big plus for me would be if they retract their decision to no longer have a full National Dex in the game; that alone might persuade me to pick it up But I'm not expecting it
I think right now it's a fairly on the fence choice leaning towards no, but I'll see over the next eight months or so
月
i haven't played games in years i just ask blue to play them for me and i watch easy life
Anno
>>1031655 unfortunately out of all the problems with sword/shield I think the removal of the national dex is gonna stay hope not though
Anno
Yeah, I'm basing my expectations on the fact that they outright said during Sword/Shield's development that they didn't expect any further Pokémon games to have a full National Dex So nevermind design experimentation, this seems to be a design choice they've committed to Even if there's no technical or hardware limitation excuse for doing so grumble grumble

im watchin NL fight Margit bruh there's no way im ever beating this boss without cheese
Anno
margit is pretty tough for the "first boss" but there are a bunch of tools to make him managable I definitely fought him early and it was a pain, should have explored more instead of assuming the guidance pointed you to the intented path
Anno
FromSoft seem to have amusingly come up with a very FromSoft-y interpretation of an open world game You can ignore all the stuff to explore and follow the "main story" route But in doing so you get absolutely bodied
Anno
I'm interested in seeing how the speedruns shake out with so many options on when and where to go routes are gonna be wacky
>Normal open world games >Explore the side story and environmental content as you please, chasing whatever interests you >FromSoft open world games >Explore that damn world, because when you get back on the rails you'll appreciate the levels, items, and game sense
Anno
a lesson I shouldn't have even had to learn they advertise that pretty clearly by putting the tree sentinel miniboss right in your path when you start, you're clearly meant to go around him and come back when you're stronger and that's an attitude you need to adopt for every challenge in the game

Anno
>>1031672 not enough feathers to gather, triple it and make sure the reward is as lackluster as possible
Anno
I actually do enjoy Ubisoft open world games, but I don't think I'd approach something like Elden Ring like I would them They're more an environmental world for me to immerse myself in, and I think being flooded with tasks actually helps with that It means there's always something keeping me on foot I'm pretty good at not needing some shiny reward at the end of my quest to drive me to do something in a game Just give me an objective and I'll do it
Anno
>>1031669 >like complaining the new genshin impact waifu has bare feet lmao he's got a point
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
expert level streamer somehow comes up with this stuff while fighting Margit
Anno
>>1031675 you might have trouble with elden ring then it does have a lot of stuff to do ad explore but it very rarely tells you about that stuff sometimes youllt get a hint about stuff, like a woman told me about some weird festival at a church to the south only vague hints here
Anno
I'm not bad with directionless stuff, like I said, I'd likely approach Elden Ring differently from an Ubisoft open world game The environmental immersion experience wouldn't work well with the punishing Soulslike combat anyway My intention when I get around to playing is to treat it like a Soulslike game At worst I can break out the old-fashioned pen and paper notetaking
Anno
>>1031679kind of remi ds meh of* kind of reminds meh of elder scrolls.
Anno
>>1031679 sou sou, good way to approach it I might take some more detailed notes eventually but for now the map marking system is good enough for me, got markers all over for dungeons or bosses I haven't completed or merchants I want to come back to
I also do really like having to do my own detective work It's not like my brain goes to liquid whenever I'm deprived of direction or instructions, but I don't put it to the task when I'm being provided directions and enjoy other aspects of the game

>>1031665 you aren't supposed to- well rather you don't have to fight him when you first find him while fromsoft's games are known for their difficulty in reality there is always a more circuitous, easier way of doing almost anyhting that appears difficult at face value well except in bloodborne maybe
there's a lot of tools, items, tactics, and routes of attack for most situations and a lot of them might not be obvious at first glance and "cheese" is often a misnomer applied to many of these, when in the reality of it that's just an easier way of accomplishing a task
for instance, there's an item that can be found that makes the fight against margit a lot easier a way to bind him down during the first phase, saving you essential resources for the second phase an item specific to margit himself even, that can be found in some of the earlier-game areas
there's also a lot of bosses to fight that are much easier than margit, and lots of ways to gain runes for leveling up before you fight him of course, if you're willing to roll the dice a little bit and rely on raw gamer genes to get you through, it's technically possible to beat almost any boss without leveling at all, using only fists, with your hands tied behind your back up hill both ways in a july snowstorm but that's only one way of doing it
Yeah. That's what made it so hype. I just saw that Ame had a late-night karaoke stream going so I loaded it up to have on in the background. Then people started arriving
my trend predictions (red lines) versus actual results (candles) might not seem that exciting but ive never done this before!
it's predicting the consolidation phase (in 5-second intervals) after processing the previous 30 minutes of divergence so a lot of work for just a very small sliver but i think it's cool
Anno
Stuff like this is kind of hard for me to parse It would be kind of nice to learn the mechanics of investment Especially since every attempt I've tried at a traditional job hasn't really worked out well for me But it just seems so incomprehensible
im not even investing anything, just diving into the data which for me is very stimulating in itself
but if i can figure out some predictive indicators then yeah i might try to get into it it's way more up my alley than working at a physical office except the whole part about actually needing money ive never in my life gotten to save a paycheck, it's a tough road
Anno
>>1031896 I'm crossing fingers she might re-broadcast the unarchived part, but that would be pretty uncommon for her Plus she'd probably have to go ask all the other girls if they're okay with it
月
with just some shrewd scalping, 0.75% per day with relative consistency (3-4 days a week to mitigate the ineffective scalps) seems totally possible but that's like 75-150 dollars only once you've got 10K to fund it that's about the same as a general job

>>1031897 oh and the upward-sloped lines are supposed to align with the lows of the troughs, and the downward lines with the tops of the peaks not the average of the values i just realized it looks like everything's shifted right too far but that's where the prediction intended
Anno
>>1031901 I'd be open to the idea if I could do it in far fewer hours than a regular job I'm not looking to get rich, I just want financial independence from things that eat up eight to ten hours of my day My current situation has let me save up a fair bit of money; if I knew what I was doing I could invest quite a decent amount I could just throw it in a fund like some sensible option but the returns on that are far too slow to free me from work that consumes my entire day anytime soon
月
yeah same, i want to be able to pay my rent and bills and support myself on a basic level even frugally is fine but still have the time and energy to do my own research or whatever i want to do
a part-time job to supplement is fine, but i don't want to be working 50+ hours a week with nothing else for myself the whole reason i never pursued a careerin academic research was because the only way to get paid is to do the research for someone else's project who has more money than you, or to apply for funding on a select few fields of political interest you just don't get to do what you want to do unless you support yourself
月
saving up enough money to start a family would be a greater goal but that feels so out of reach at this time when im only just barely supporting myself, frugally, to force that onto someone else just isn't an option

i'd guess it's casting a wider net to catch more people, but i dunno shit about it and purely from my own blind speculation i'd say they did that because i'm hearing about it in every channel that i wouldn't even expect to hear it mentioned
it is more options and play styles are alwayd good, and all the new stuff they added is well implemented without feeling necessary or overpowered >>1031995 it also helps that this is the most ambitious entry yet in a well loved series, as well as a large genre shift

the ghost mans are other players the red ghost mans are other players (who died)
Anno
yeah the white ones are other players in the same area can't affect anything but it's cool to see other people fighting invisible enemies and stuff
what's always bothered me about souls is how utterly unviable magic is just don't get the mana you need, so you gotta Git Gud with the melee combat either way
Anno
? demons souls and ds1 pure sorcery builds are broken, ds2 hex builds are broken ds3 made magic way too weak though haven't used it much in elden ring so I dunno how strong it is
I've legit never seen anyone use magic, and the few times it's even been mentioned it's been because it stinks outside of the occasional fireball intersperced with 45 minutes of swordfigthing
月
when you say 'anyone' do you mean your commie friends commies suck at souls games no offense
Anno
>>1032004 I've run through dark souls 1 close to twenty times and I can tell you for a fact that a pure caster in that game is one of the strongest pve builds even pure pyromancy is super strong outside of one area

there's a cool cosmic theme to the magic in elden ring found some cool gravity manipulation sorceries and the pure offensive one I found just shot rocks using gravity I'm excited to try a spellsword or faith run next
maybe I'll do a magic run, if it's viable Issue is, no way to know if it's viable until you're so stat-invested in magic you either have to restart or uninstall
月
well that's the fun part, figuring out how to make it viable if you just have a proven guide to follow that is guaranteed to work if you follow it, where's the fun

there is a respec option you have to find the person who does it though

>>1032016 nl beat margit this morning but then his PS5 didnt write the save properly so hes fighting again and there's been a massive deluge of "wait whys he fighting margit again"
Anno
ohhh I see I thought there was a second margit fight
Admittedly, one of the main reasons I never got into souls in the first place is I tried one of them and the KBM controls were like pulling teeth Hopefully Elden Ring isn't that shitty
月
the word deluge has been at the tip of everyone's subconscious lately, especially mine i wonder if we're going to see a major seismic event and massive cascadia flooding on april 7th 2022
Anno
>>1032021 I wouldn't wish KBM souls on anyone always have a controller
S C
My controller isn't very good, it's kinda busted, the right trigger never properly resets to 0 And I don't like using a controller
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
its quite an entertaining fight and i missed this morning's segment so this is kinda nice
Anno
maybe the KBM controls are good for ER but I wouldn't hold out hope
Well, we'll see how it goes Only soulslike I've really enjoyed is salt&sanctuary though Damn that's a good game
Anno
>>1032025 margit is a really cool design dude looks so fucked up but still kinda noble and the holy weapons are dope excited to see more bosses like him
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
he did it again the mad lad i can't imagine how brutal the bosses later in the game get
Anno
>>1032026 Every review of Elden Ring's KBM controls seem to be pretty negative And going off my own experience playing through Sekiro that way, I think you have to be a particular kind of masochistic to play a Soulslike game with a KBM At least with Sekiro you can bind controls, that helped me make it functionable Not sure if there's rebindable controls in Elden Ring
Anno
I guess I could check of you can when I get home might make it a little better but I still imagine a controller would just be better
月
use a joystick like a normal person
Anno
I don't have a joystick! I am lacking in joy and sticks!
月
there are bundles of them all over /moe/, just take some dunno about the joy though
I mean, the reason is on the devs' end The problem isn't the lack of an analogue stick or anything, it's more like the controls aren't correlated to the ones on screen, and they're spread wholly randomly around the keyboard I guess I could sit down and just rebind everything, but I'm probably just gonna get a controller
Rei !p8eYCadcMo

I get the analogy but it's definitely among the weirder things I've heard

ive never heard popcorn to describe anything but im also not that well read

Someone was really losing their temper out in my floor's hallway earlier Shouting "something the fuck" at one of the doors nearby I couldn't make out what the particulars were but they sounded real angry Plus you usually don't throw a tantrum like that in public at 01:30 in the morning
It probably wasn't someone complaining about noise or stuff like that since I checked out my door a bit later and it sounded like the conversation had moved to inside the apartment And I know that apartment in question too; I'm not going to go as far as to say they're sketchy but there are some kind of off-norm things about its residents That or it's some rich college kid's place where he hosts his friends for parties and shit on a regular basis Could go either way
S C
I have decided I'm gonna still give elden ring a spin on PC The controls are REAL scuffed, but once I read an article or two to know what buttons to press it should be OK Right now I'm researching which button is the map button
Anno
The only way I was able to get through Sekiro without losing my mind, I think, was that I binded as much as I feasibly could to my mouse buttons, even doubling up on different things for the mouse scroll wheel and scroll button Having most of my left hand being eaten up by needing to handle the WASD keys makes action games like that hard With a controller the same amount of functionality just needs your thumb on the joystick
Anno
Also I'm pretty sure that was the downfall of one of the buttons on that mouse from the repeated presses Granted it was a cheap Chinese mouse so it probably wasn't the most durable thing in the first place, but I definitely was using some mouse buttons at a rate you'd probably only see from an RTS player at that point

I haven't been drinking a whole lot of soft drinks at all lately, carbonated or otherwise Although I drink an excessive amount of tea and a fair bit of coffee so it's not like I'm making healthy drinking choices And I'd still be down for a Coke alongside a good barbeque'd burger but that's not something I can really do at the moment The only soft drink I go for without other circumstances is iced tea so the main reason I haven't is that I don't want to be carrying those big 1.7L bottles by hand Since the smaller bottles aren't worth the price

Fuck it I'm just gonna get a controller

thanks to steam cloud saves and me not double-checkingt i just lost 18 hours of progress
>>1032445 It depends on your equipment weight. If you have a heavy load, you dodge much slower and there's more windup to start the dodge. If you mean Elden Ring, I mean.
I don't think I'm gonna be able to get them back I only have +6 strength and have no fucking idea what I'm doing in battle
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
have you summoned the guy at the fog gate? if
S C
I did, but he just gets himself killed immediately, and at close range margit just spams AoE shit so I can't even get in there and do some damage >>1032460 I added 6 strength, I dunno what that makes me, 6 maybe 7 if you start at 1
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
what level are you
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
check your status it'll tell you although you may just be under leveled if you go to the grace you start at and move south, you'll find another area that might be better suited to you it leads to castle morne which is easier at lower levels than margit
also level 7 yeah >>1032464 yeah I don't fucking know what the other ones are
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
oh you started as a wretch? haha thats the hardest starting class you don't want to fight margit until you're like level 20 maybe higher if this is your first souls game
have I fucked myself out of decent magic by adding this much into strength this early btw? I saved it up for a while, but I couldn't find the magic shop, so just to stay alive I figured at least getting enough for the sword would be good
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
no, you'll be fine although if you want to use magic you'll definitely want to invest in it there isn't a lot of magic available to you yet if you had started as a magic class you would have been able to start off with a spell or two
It can take time to get the hang of it. More than just reaction speed, it's about learning moves and understanding at what point in the wind up for the enemy's attack that you want to roll. The goal is for the i-frames of the roll to happen when the attack would have hit you. That way, you roll through the attack safely and can counterattack. It might help you if you start over and pick a real class instead of the wretch class which is for experienced players and starts with nothing, which makes the experience just about impossible for a newcomer.
Yeah!! It's a thousand times better than Dark Souls, and most of the real bosses I've fought so far are placed firmly in my top Soulsborne bosses. The way they circumvent your expectations with their attacks is amazing. Every time I think they're done attacking and go to counter, they punish me for it. Bosses that combo 7 hits in a row and can switch up their combos to swing behind them when you're dodging. The boss design in this game in on par with the best bosses from the previous games like Isshin and the Orphan.
nice! i've seen a lot of criticism on the bosses combos this // in this iteration im not against it entirely, but it does feel like the punishment windows are miniscule compared to the rest of the series
Yeah, I can see why people would be upset with it. It's really hard. Margit is like, the first boss, but he has some really seriously evil delays in his attacks that make him much more difficult than a first boss in any other soulsborne game. He's like, a late game boss in terms of his moveset. Elden Ring seems like a hard place to start getting into souls but also there are a lot of areas where you can explore even without fighting Margit and you can just grind until it's doable which is nice for newer players.
But I've also seen a lot of new players miss the tutorial completely even though there are like four signs pointing you at the tutorial so I don't think people are ready for Elden Ring haha
Anno
I'm ready for Elden Ring! I just don't think my hardware is

The cargo elevator here is officially out of commission for an unspecified amount of time After three visits from the techs the dumbasses finally figured out what was wrong, a copper prong used to detect when the doors were shut had been bent out of place, and needs to be replaced But there's no ETA on when the part might come in The "good" news of that is that there's no way any large pallet shipments can get down to the basement without being an absolute nightmare, so the loading dock has been told to turn away anything like that for the time being But the flipside of that is, all those shipments are just going to pile up and probably flood the warehouse once the elevator is working again And also there are some shittier delivery guys out there who will just unload their stuff and hightail it out of there before anyone can ask them what the fuck they're doing
>>1032474 the tutorial is optional I guess, yeah I did it just because I was on KBM so I wanted to get familiar with the stinky controls

i did the tutorial twice cuz the damn door to the game was locked
the hardcoded invaders have like 8000 HP and take me to 4% in a single flurry what the fuck man I barely scratch them
Anno
which one? I've only seen two, one beat my ass but he only appears in an optional area
S C
I've seen two, and both of them destroyed me one in a little stream offshoot from the dragon lake other inside the roundtable
Anno
the roundtable guy is definitely not meant to be fought as soon as you get there the river guy is tough, did you not have a samurai dude show up to help? I did and I thought that was scripted
>>1032489 samurai showed up, immediately got his own ass handed to him, I'm pretty sure even I could whoop his ass
Anno
lol he did alright fore, enough to let me backstab the invadrt invader over and over unlucky
S C
He took down a little bit of HP from the dexlord, but he just SIPPED HIS ESTUS after sending the samurai to the shadow realm And my backstabs animated but didn't do a goddamned thing Not like "little damage", but actually I just did the animation into thin air
Anno
the ds1 experience now in elden ring that sounds pretty fucking unlucky though
I ended up just running away though, because my regular hits barely even scratched him If he wasn't programmed to fight properly, he could have just kept walking at me and spamming attack until I went down >>1032495 I want the scythe from the roundtable Right now I'm piss weak though, and honestly I don't know what to do because I can't take on anything without getting destroyed Everything in a reasonable range while still challenging is far from bonfires, everything close enough to bonfires but not just a common enemy is WAY too strong
Anno
the dexlord has a cool bood dagger, it's my main weapon right now
Anno
what class are you playing?
S C
wretch cause I was on KBM so I had no way to see what everything was, so I picked that just cause it didn't have a set of armor and weapons, figured that'd lock me into a build before I even start playing
Anno
oh no you picked the weakest starting class wretch is te "challenge run" starter
should be fine once I level, surely I'm like, level 15? or something I boosted my vitality a little bit just so I can fucking survive a hit, took my strength to 20
maybe I'll just restart the game and be a dexlord or a magic man, but magic in these games seems like ass because your mana doesn't even fucking regen and all the spells eat like 100 mana out of your total pool of 150
Anno
should be ok, but some of the other classes also get spells or gear that you won't find until much later so even if you level you'll be behind on damage and defenses >>1032500 magic in elden ring is pretty strong from my experience not broken but very useful as both a full caster and a spellsword type
being strong doesn't really help if you're guaranteed to run out of juice before you put down the big guys, so you still have to melee them may as well just melee from the start then
Anno
>>1032500 also I've found spells that only use like 30 fp what do you mean
S C
in my defense I've yet to even find a magic vendor so I'm basing this on mostly assumption and knowing spells that cost less mana than you start with are gonna be shit later on in any game
Anno
>knowing spells that cost less mana than you start with are gonna be shit later on in any game I don't understand that reasoning here
most games have mana cost scale with power, and your starting mana isn't enough to even cast the later spells
Anno
then level your mana stat?
Anno
>>1032506 That's on you FromSoft are generally pretty good at breaking from general game design, especially with ideas that don't directly imbalance a game All classes have -All builds have it rough off the bat; you don't have the stats to swing more than two or three times, blocking with a shield eats up 80% of your stamina, your spells are largely ineffective and/or expensive FromSoft games are usually at their hardest at the start of the game, where you don't know what you're doing and you're almost universally underpowered, and at the end of the game, where they throw the book and the entire library at you
I don't even fucking know how to parry there was a hint for it at some point, but as you may have picked up, there was absolutely no reason to read it because the controls, the single important part, were meaningless to my KBM ass Because despite being a PC port, 100% of onscreen inputs are xbox
S C
i bet even the ps5 edition has all controls shown as though you were on xbox
Anno
yeah the port does kinda suck I'm using a ds4 and have to keep adjusting for the xbox ui I guess just equip a shield that can parry and start hitting buttons
Anno
>>1032510 Nope Being a Japanese developer, FromSoft actually cares about the PlayStation console
some weapons can do it but they're few and far between and not all shields can parry, they need to have it as the weapon art usually smaller shields like bucklers
Anno
>>1032515 maybe, there are some that can while two handed
this certainly explains SOME of my deaths I thought it was just a timing thing I didn't know I needed bespoke parrying equipment, I thought you just timed the block right and you're good to go
Anno
think only sekiro had that type of parry but also the effect of a parry was different
If I use a shield though I'm pretty sure I'll be pushing up against the fatroll I'm not even fully kitted out and I'm at medium load don't even HAVE a shirt I have the rest of the armor pieces though but no shirt
Anno
chad
S C
besides from what I have been lead to believe, blocking at all is a trap in souls games
Anno
since you started wretch I'd advise just leveling vigor, endurance, and strength until you start steamrolling stuff also keep in mind that weapon upgrades are just as or more important than leveling stats
I don't wanna spend my early game runes on this stinky sword I picked up but yeah upgrading seems important I'd rather just dump it into more strength so when I get a weapon that's worth more than the iron it's made out of, the increases carry over
Anno
>>1032523 in ds2 and 3 yes in ds1 it was strong seems great in elden so far, guard counters are very useful
Anno
>>1032525 you'll get enough runes and upgrade materials early game to get multiple weapons to +3
Anno
if you can make your way to yhe the ruins just outside the big gate leading north there's a good greatsword in there
the one guarded by the spearman with the cool shield and hat? that's the one I'm using was in one of those carriages I'm pretty sure >>1032530 possibly I'm watching stuff atm or I'd just check actually gimme a second
Anno
lordsworn right?
Anno
if it's that one then it's worth upgrading at least to +3 hell I'm still using the flail I found in that area ad it's killing mooks in 3-4 hits at +3
lordsworn yeah I just figured it wasn't worth upgrading because I got it like, almost immediately after leaving the tutorial Thought it was just a starter weapon so you don't have to use the club for a month
Anno
starter weapons can carry you through a whole souls game hell in ds1 you can get a zweihander in 30 seconds after beating the tutorial and that thing will walk you through ng+ easy
