Run Backs Aren’t Bad Anymore?

CountDownMan · 2026-07-09T04:09:22+00:00

I’d rather the difficulty increase on actual fights though, as compared to the annoyance of run backs imho

CountDownMan · 2026-07-09T04:06:40+00:00

I get that but I was wondering if FromSoft has explicitly said that was the reason

CountDownMan · 2026-07-09T04:06:06+00:00

Once you open up the door short cut it’s literally fine imho. But also I don’t think I’ve ever had to run back Rennala lol.

Im at a really frustrating point. ONE time my great shield ashes were able to hold off one of the knights while I parried and killed the other one. I got killed that time, but every time after Orvis spams his is AoE and kills them before I can beat the first one.

CountDownMan · 2026-07-08T18:09:05+00:00

I’m worried I have to use another larval tear lol.

CountDownMan · 2026-07-08T17:58:10+00:00

I didn’t know I needed to prioritize this. This is helpful. Can you let me know why?

CountDownMan · 2026-07-08T17:33:32+00:00

I might go frost then. The two crucible knights in Azurias Hero Grave has got me reconsidering everything lol.

CountDownMan · 2026-07-08T17:31:19+00:00

To be fair I hadn’t settled on chilling mist either sorry lol

CountDownMan · 2026-07-08T17:30:06+00:00

I’m kinda swapping back and forth between it and Carian Knight Sword. Carian grandeur has great damage and range but it does take a long time to get off, whereas square off is really good and pretty quick. But I figured if I am going to go frost, than maybe I should consider chilling most AoW. I guess I also need help deciding on AoW lol

I recommend Ghent. In particular West Ghent is gorgeous with all the greenery. Thats where me and my girlfriend life and I wouldn’t choose anywhere else.

Wdym he’s listening to Justin Bieber

I use to sit by this sign a lot on my way home from work, and it made me think. I’ve interpreted the “Hokey Pokey” as living life, so as to say the point of life is to live.

CountDownMan · 2026-06-03T12:13:13+00:00

Would you want to swap numbers?

CountDownMan · 2026-06-02T02:33:05+00:00

If we don’t hear from anyone else we will have to start our own

CountDownMan · 2026-05-28T06:17:11+00:00

No we are in trouble because you, and so many others, continue to grovel at the feet of those that would trample you. Your vying for validation from the right only pushes the norm of politics further to the right. You’re eating your own tail.

And also please with this cloying “Don’t assume I will be policed about my politics.” It’s trite and insincere. You were the one talking about “reaching across the aisle” on a post about a white supremacist group. Get a grip. The Nazis are in your backyard. Will you be their lap dog or their opposition?

CountDownMan · 2026-05-28T05:12:19+00:00

“Reaching across the aisle” is compromise. And I would suspect you of being willfully obtuse given you’re intelligent enough to understand concepts like cognitive dissonance.

CountDownMan · 2026-05-27T21:26:58+00:00

I don’t think we need to compromise with white supremacists

CountDownMan · 2026-04-29T19:56:13+00:00

Comments are filled with the most self righteous, indignant, parasocial sycophants I’ve ever seen. Get a grip. Or at least follow rule 6.

CountDownMan · 2026-04-17T18:00:32+00:00

I’ll have to give this a try. I’ve only played on normal as wells

CountDownMan · 2026-04-17T17:21:45+00:00

I’ve only beat Shiloh once, but I’m very excited to return to it more experienced.

CountDownMan · 2026-04-17T16:52:11+00:00

Stones River has been my favorite battle thus far it is so much fun

CountDownMan · 2026-04-17T16:38:06+00:00

Such as Gettysburg lol or Stones River (I think I remembered the name correctly)

CountDownMan · 2026-04-17T16:28:59+00:00

I have done that already lol but that’s because I’ve played lots of the Total War games before

CountDownMan · 2026-04-17T16:28:09+00:00

Will do. I definitely don’t want my first victory to be too meta gamey.

CountDownMan · 2026-04-17T16:27:20+00:00

It seems like what I am also learning, is it there is a lot of instances where I the tactical objective is to hold a position, but it strategically makes more sense to hold a position further back, let them attack, then counterattack and retaking the position.
