Same goes for Nameless King and Pontiff. My favourite tracks were the ones during Soul Of Cinders, Abyss-Watchers and Champion Grundyr's battles. The music is Bloodborne level of good, which is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artekkor Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I recently found out that Alva Armor is back! My favorite armor ever is back! I had a whole Dark Souls 2 playthrough where i was cosplaying Alva with a Partizan spear combined with that red flower shield (sad that it didn't came back...). Somehow i got addicted to this setup, partizan simply looked very legit with Alva's. Sadly i probably will leave Alva's set in storage until next playthrough, for now i shall continue my Lancer cosplay. Jeez, i missed so many NPC invaders during my first playthrough... That's because i played most of it unkindled due to a lot of deaths and rare embers. Now that i die very rarely due exclusively to my own stupidity and that i have like 50 embers, i can be kindled all the time and finally fight all the awesome NPC invaders that i missed and get their sweet gear for my collection. Though i have to leave it noted that they drastically changed Alva's image in DkS3... In DkS2 he was said to be some kind of traveling hero and his armor was the only thing that we had and knew about him. Now not only his armor is back, they also shown his weapon of choice - Murakumo (it even has a lore piece about him) and for some reasons he's called "Seeker of Spurned. As if a headhunter? Or to help them? AND WHY HE INVADES US IN THE FIRST PLACE?! I'd like to believe because he simply went hollow and gone insane, but still... From barely known about "hero" to someone who tries to make you panic-roll from a cliff. That was quiet the jump of character development... S#&$ty translation from japanese original could also be a reason for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he went hollow as it was never said that he himself was affected by the undead curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfScrugging Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 you know, i'm sad that blue flame didn't come back for DS3: http://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/Blue+Flame i loved playing as a spell blade with that. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)makrisbrik Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Okay, LordOfScrugging. You and SkyCook3y are making fun of my progress. I cleared the Lord of Cinder and I'm at the catacombs now. Died only once so not bad and it was a really fun boss. The catacombs is very frightening. Then I wasn't expecting it, I was invaded and I kept running while fighting enemies. The invader killed me but that was exciting. What in heaven's name is this? Its crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I ran inside the area, that's the first skeleton you encounter. I tried attacking the skeleton ball, and it pushed me off the ledge. I really like the enemies in Dark Souls and Bloodborne. They are never boring to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its the dwarves comment and the pony. Its funny I passed the invader in the hallway, it took several seconds before he turned around and gave chase. Caught me totally unprepared. Got sandwiched between two enemies and the invader and that was it. That's what I noticed in DS3, nobody uses gestures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I've started to just lay out my red soap stone after Pontiff. Something I do have a problem with however is the lack of honor when I am invaded. Healing in a 1v1 is something that annoys me a lot. Even worse when it's a 2v1 and they heal. Absolutely dishonorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think it was intentional, since it's turned off exclusively fot players, but not for monsters. They basically "turned the game into Bloodborne" The only reason to wear heavy armor now is to get that sweet damage reduction... Which does not even work correctly.

Was he holding a giant ultra greatsword that was just a slab of rock? if so that's an NPC. they don't gesture. if he kills you you get the gesture he does. actual player invaders do have the decency of gesturing before fighting as a sign of respect.
