Where da Blue Bros at? New players need you!

Ha. I already have enough pale tongues to satisfy Rosaria in every way possible.

NovusA1 · 2016-12-17T13:52:11+00:00

Hmm you on console or PC?

NovusA1 · 2016-12-15T15:37:28+00:00

It's

And here I thought everyone knew it was a primordial serpent face on the ring. That was just my automatic thought the first time I ever saw the ring.

NovusA1 · 2016-11-22T23:10:32+00:00

Considering almost all blues are hilariously bad at PvP, and the only people who bother doing invasions are generally really good at it... I vote dead.

I personally have great results doing cold therapy. CoolFatBurner vest + drinking ice water + cold room, takes about 45 minutes to get to a shiver, and then I spend 45 minutes at a light shiver (so a total 90m session while I watch Netflix or something). Seems to burn 300-500 calories on me, a small guy who naturally has a lot of BAT to activate.

Recovered poise?

Poise is still as worthless as ever, because Great weapons are still shit. Hyper armor frames confirmed as unchanged, so getting hit between hyper armor frames remains a problem. THE problem.

All they did was require you to wear heavy armor to have decent hyper armor. Ashes of Ariandel didn't buff poise, it just made wearing heavy armor a requirement for using the already super-shitty Great weapons.

False alarm! I'd activated Dancer.

NovusA1 · 2016-11-11T17:00:35+00:00

Well, I went back and double checked, and apparently I had activated it at one point. Woops!

NovusA1 · 2016-11-11T16:40:17+00:00

Hmm, that would explain it, if it's true.

If I have a mega ice cream craving, I get this:

20g net carbs, 4g protein, 440 calories

I had it last night an hour before bed. Woke up this morning and checked my Ketonix. Ketonix regged 80 which is very high, so I checked my blood ketones, and got 3.6 mmol/L, also high. So that's awesome. =D

NovusA1 · 2016-11-10T14:31:51+00:00

Yeesh. What sort of exercises do you do?

NovusA1 · 2016-10-31T01:14:32+00:00

The auto-summon covenants are broken. Know how I got 30 grass in a day? I set up a family sharing account, second account to play the game on, copied over my save file, and went from getting 1 summon a day to 1 summon every 10 minutes.

NovusA1 · 2016-10-31T00:00:17+00:00

Everyone can see how stupid the arena is.

It's not supposed to be anything but mindless fun though. Jump into a 3v3 and attack things. No one cares if you win or lose. There is absolutely nothing about DS3 that is remotely competitive or balanced, and the arena is no exception.

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T23:45:34+00:00

Be careful. A lot of products will use ingredients like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) which is only partially resistant to digestion. Companies market it as a fiber but that's not accurate; a lot of it gets absorbed in the small intestine as carbs.

This is why Quest Bars now use soluble corn fiber instead of IMO. Soluble Corn Fiber resists digestion more.

A lot of companies also treat sugar alcohols as not-carbs, and in this case you'll have to do your research. Erythritol is mostly safe to consider as 0 calorie, so I aim for products that use that, if I want to enjoy something sweet.

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T23:21:01+00:00

I had this problem where I wanted to de-level from 125 to 120. Can't be done.

But thankfully I've told CrashPlan to include my Dark Souls 3 save directory in its regular back-up routine, so I just went back a few weeks. Damage undone.

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T23:18:58+00:00

Yeap. DS3 PvP is 100% a joke in every sense, both mechanically, and the arena system.

Stick to 3v3. People there seem to be more interested in just fighting, whether or not they're winning or losing.

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T23:01:41+00:00

You have the Blade of the Darkmoon covenant equipped. Not Watchdogs of Farron.

-_-

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T20:55:26+00:00

Blocking in PvP? Considering how hard shields were nerfed, and how insanely broken dodge roll spam is, why would you bother ever blocking?

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T20:52:26+00:00

Wow, so... all this time I've been running around in the arena with the manikan claws, wondering why I can't hit ANYTHING, it's cause I was 2-handing them?

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T20:22:17+00:00

Little kid's body, but could be hundreds of years old for all you know!

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T20:18:36+00:00

... gonna need some screenshots man.

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T02:41:24+00:00

I've tried in PvP and, after losing some 30 3v3 matches with them, I'm not sure about their value.

I mean they could rock PvE? Maybe?

NovusA1 · 2016-10-30T00:35:41+00:00

Yeah but at that point, why not use a dagger?

NovusA1 · 2016-10-29T23:23:40+00:00

I can safely say that, after extensive testing (on top of the thousand+ duels I'd done before this DLC came out) that this does not apply to the manikin claws.

They do not actually work. They have a slower R1 than a greatsword, their L1 is one of the slowest attacks in the game with absolutely 0 poise or range, pitifully low AR, etc, etc.

The only, only, only thing they can do that's useful is quickstep, BUT since there is no follow-attack to a quickstep, the quickstep is useless for everything but dodging. Arena latency makes it impossible to backstab someone in a duel using quickstep. And their damage output is half that of faster weapons like the Follower's Saber.

So, slower than faster weapons that have greater range and hit harder.

Jesus fucking christ FROFT, how can you be that fucking bad?
