Multiplayer Password
Lots of people asking about it, so let's make one, group password:
Case sensitive!
Group password means that people who set it up will be prioritized in matchmaking for coop, pvp, messages, bloodstains etc. provided they are in vicinity. It will NOT in any way obstruct random matchmaking of all aforementioned features.
You can also have other group passwords set up with your friends etc. from what I read about the system.

sorry Freezasaurus Aurica time to restart as a Hero, I need my big boi stuff, I don't have the patience for this magic bullshit
I betrayed the Prophet bros and I'm ashamed of my actions.
No but for realsies tho, this melee feels fantastic with the new jumping attacks and guard counters, it's the best time to be a big boi shield bro.
edit: btw PS5 feels mostly fine, but even early on it's deffo a bit framey at times. nothing major but certainly noticiable

Right, so I'm stuck regarding timing. Do you know of a video that shows it?
Game is looking noice. My wretch still naked. Got some new weapons but need to upgrade my dex and str.
Exploration is so good.
I haven't found any equipment for my Wretched but I broke down and bought a chain mail hat.
Undies, hat and a club. All an adventurer needs :3
Quick question; I accidentally restarted my PC when I got to the Roundtable so I didnt get to read the tutorial message for it. What can you do there and how do I get back there? I got invaded while exploring it and got the boot cause i suck and died
So for astrologer, does endurance affect cast speed as well? If so, maybe that's why I feel like I suck. I have yet to put any points into endurance. That plus I have yet to find a new staff.
You can fast travel in/out of there from the map, and it's a gathering place for NPCs. And there's a shop and blacksmith.
The very first thing a lot of players are going to encounter is the horseback boss who will likely destroy them. It's not surprising a lot of players will then go the opposite way and end up going in the wrong direction.
true, I ain't tackling with that mofo anytime soon myself
dude hows the game working out for you anyway? you one of the lucky ones that its at the very least ok? (I assume youre on PC)
First boss, one of the side ones I assume -
- beat as wretch, using a flaming torch
Might buy a basic shield as I would like to have a mild amount of defence, but enjoying the trash goblin lifestyle

R1 does relatively (to r2 and ashes of war) a lot less damage than ds3. If you only use r1 things will take forever. If you work in jumping r2, charge r2, guard counter, ash of war, etc thing will die much faster. The game definitely is expecting skill usage and guard breaks to happen and enemy durability has been adjusted to reflect that to varying degrees.
FYI there are incantations that require Arcane as well as Faith. If you were planning on being a Faith caster keep this in mind!
Is there a chance that I'd miss it when I wander into the wrong direction?
Folks, if you're only spamming R1s like before, you should stop playing Dark Souls and start playing Elden Ring.
Tree Sentinel turns into a chump vs my lv14 Wretch with Sekiro jump attacks and charging R2s.

I completely suck at the game so far so I've spent most of my time exploring, the setting is unbelievable, keep stumbling upon more and more cool stuff.
Feels like it could take hundreds of hours to see everything.

Okay I need some full disclosure here, to decide how terrible I am at this.
I immediately veered off to the left and found a small "dungeon"
How long did it take y'all to beat that boss? That was basically the trial by fire training session for the combat in this game. That whole dungeon took me ~ 1.5 hours despite being relatively short with about 1 hour of that dedicated to the boss.

I think default answer would be Vagabond.
But the Confessor starts with a sword, shield, and healing spell. I felt OP to start.
This video is for Dark Souls but it's basically the same. Each enemy has a different timing for parry and they also have a variety of attack patterns, which makes parrying in these games difficult to execute.
Something about the quality of this world and atmosphere makes me enjoy jogging around slowly rather than sprinting to cover distance like in every other open world fame. It really does feel like a real adventure.
Ok awesome, thank you. I'll consider learning it for specific enemies if I need to then.

I have no idea. Here is where I found it:
Right to the east of the Gatefront Ruins. Maybe you can get it elsewhere though.
Yeah, it's not too bad. Not amazing either though, I'll get some fps drops as it loads in something, but they're a second long or so so it's bearable.
I'm playing confessor as well. I picked up a different sword off a random knight enemy that had slightly better damage so I made that swap, but I haven't done any upgrades yet. Are the upgrade materials pretty scarce like in older games? It's probably safe to upgrade a few times before you hit the really rare stuff, right?
Game is amazing, so many funny and unreal moments. This IS a souls game. Even the frikin messages. Saw dead body on bed, message ''no head given''.
I find the bosses pretty easy, especially with the summons distracting the mid/sub bosses in dungeons.

The watchdog statue cat thing? The boss took me around 45 minutes. But I am also a DS noob and never played these games before.
No. As someone who's played every Souls like game FromSoftware has made, none of their previous games feel like this when it comes to dodging. Sometimes absolutely nothing happens, or it happens too late, and you can be simply standing there doing nothing at all before hitting the button.
I wouldn't think it would be driver related, but after updating my drivers, turning off motion blur, lowering grass and doing the other supposed "snake oil" tweaks from reddit, my game is running quite a bit better now. No issues with dodge like before, but there are still intermittent stutters (not as bad, and I doubt it's shader cache related either) and still frame drops from hell out of nowhere. Tree Sentinel caused mad drops by like 30fps at the start when he's wrecking trees and then each time he did the shoulder check where his horse would whine, it always drops, no matter what.
Also decided to play offline though to see if that helped, and maybe none of the above tweaks actually did do anything, and the online component was the problem.
I am playing on PC.
I really don't believe the map is actually meant to guide you to places you haven't been to yet. It just seems like all it's for is to chart where you've already been and put a name to those places.

Also some weapons can't be parried at all, and you don't really have to parry much in these games
I've spent three hours of the actual first-first boss and in the end he died to jellyfish poison....
...wtf have I been wasting my time for OTL

7 hours or so in - level 26 Astrologer with 3 memory slots.
Still exploring side stuff - I am completely blown away. Hit a few roadblocks already but I have at least 3 or 4 places I can see on the map alone that look interesting.
I need to eat now though or I could see myself sitting here all day.
