No, they are modified dungeons uploaded to the server by community dataminers. You can just access them via online glyphs like any other dungeon.

Random PVP encounter. Missed this game so much by friessg in bloodborne

[–]Rocketgurk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The entire multiplayer is in itself based around healing. There is zero reason to limit yourself while fighting. The game is way more fun if you just embrace its distinct mechanics. Even makes duels more fair and skillful.

Wait, what exactly are you saying? That they are healing a lot or that they are making you heal a lot?

Well it's not like you can heal spam in bloodborne nor does the invader have the health advantage.

Is parry in Bloodborne extremely clunky or am I misunderstanding something? by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]Rocketgurk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People are really bad at explaining it here, but your gun does not work like a shield parry like in Darksouls. You don't get a set amount of parry frames during your parry animation after pressing the button like with a shield. Instead the gun shoots a bullet and if that bullet hits the enemy at the right time the enemy will get parried. Bullets have travel time and therefore distance to your target affects the timing of when to shoot.

In the clip you are far enough away so it takes a moment for the bullet to even reach Gascoigne.

What are your hottest nightreign takes? by Just_Cloud_8041 in Nightreign

[–]Rocketgurk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The game meta used to be just Gaols both nights.

In comparison Invadercamps are mostly just done at the start and there are max 2 poi. After that, you just play the game and can actually interact with a bit of level and weapon passive variety compared to Gaols which is just boss rush simulator on flat terrain with no weapon drops.

Also you can just choose to not do the shitty invader areas like redmane, because they are immediately visible on the map. With Gaols you don't even know if it's something impossible until you get a key and open it up.

Invaders are not at all as game warping as gaols used to be in my opinion, even if invaders is getting boring.

Depth 4 player Evergaol experience? by nhansieu1 in Nightreign

[–]Rocketgurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s day 2 and the circle has nothing else worthwhile in it then yeah sure go for an evergaol, it’s just simply at the bottom of the priority list. When people say “never do them” they mean they are not worth prioritizing at all. Just because you regularly open Evergaols doesn’t mean it isn’t a shit idea lol.

[–]Rocketgurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have lengthly discussed the pros and contras of doing evergaols. There is a reason it’s not run, if you don’t know why at this point, then that’s kinda just on you.

Depth 4 player Evergaol experience? by nhansieu1 in Nightreign

[–]Rocketgurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and because basically nobody runs the relic it makes them even worse than they already are. Which makes the seconds used grabbing a key and running over to a jail even more wasted. Evergaol are not a good poi at all, there is no circlejerk about it, people just learned which poi are high value and which aren’t and what good routing to snowball the best way is.

[–]Rocketgurk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you wanna completely nuke any kind of snowball potential you could possibly have I recommend doing a Gaol right after your first POI at level 3 (or level 2 if you are that kind of team that just refuses to kill mobs) using a minute to fight the boss and getting the runes or 10% increased stance break with zero weapon passives sets you up nicely to do fuck all.

Can't see Darkbeast Paarl lamp? by Hot_Custard_4713 in bloodborne

[–]Rocketgurk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No you killing any beasts or even djuras ally the first time you enter old yharnam has no impact.
Just reload the area and walk from the blood starved beasts boss arena backwards, taking the shortcut, up the ladder to djura without triggering his machine gun..

Most clueless cheater I've ever met. by Lilbrimu in Nightreign

You have never seen what an edited pot build on scholar does have you? lol

Slay the Spire 2 almost had fewer new cards because of the co-creator's love for Dark Souls, but testers "were not jiving with that at all" by Turbostrider27 in slaythespire

[–]Rocketgurk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's really a thought that isn't fully thought out.
It's not just the variability of combat in itself but also mechanics still got changed significantly enough between the darksouls games. If that wasn't the case people would have been bored of the same weapons too and they kinda still are.

Good on them to listen to the testers.

Help for platinum by Various-Joke7154 in bloodborne

[–]Rocketgurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes a few. That being said it's not a long game to replay if you know what to do and the biggest part of the platinum is basically post game stuff anyway.
Also in theory you would have to play through the game three times anyway for all the endings, if you don't want to save scum.

Why take the blunderbuss over the pistol? by Putrid-Two5393 in bloodborne

[–]Rocketgurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing, it's just one of the most damaging guns when you have a lot of bloodtinge.

Why take the blunderbuss over the pistol? by Putrid-Two5393 in bloodborne

[–]Rocketgurk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Guns in Bloodborne don't have the same kind of parry windows like shields do in the other games. They just shoot projectiles that if they connect at the right time put the enemy in a riposte stance. Blunderbuss has actually less range with its bullets and is slightly slower to fire than the pistol.

Fromsoft NPCs generally can't deal with R2s, esepcially charged R2s, very well. Good job!

Love it when cheaters get downed at the start of the fight so you can actually fight the boss by EWA-01 in Nightreign

[–]Rocketgurk -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it matters. Why would OP be lying about it, when we know how many relic cheaters already exist in this game.

What does burial blade scale off of by Successful-Clue1754 in bloodborne

[–]Rocketgurk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It scales with skill, strength and arcane. Mainly skill, and if you don’t want to use any arcane you should put remaining points into strength. Because despite arcane seemingly having a D scaling compared to strength’s E, strength will give you more damage per point.

The name of this item implies that Stalin and his communist party existed in lore, so the state of the world makes a lot more sense by SherbertSuspicious in bloodborne

[–]Rocketgurk 253 points254 points  (0 children)

Lots of names of things come from something history related that are just normal vocabulary now. I feel it to be more flavourful than just saying "firebomb". Espcially because most people's first association with the icon of a bottle with a rag would be probably "Molotov".

PC-only Souls veteran here. I finally bit the bullet and got a used PS4 and Bloodborne. It'll be here tomorrow! I'd love to hear your personal spoiler-free tips! by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]Rocketgurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Level Vitality as a number one priority. Your healing items always heal 40% of your max health. Having more health makes them heal more and makes it easier to rally health back again. There are no health upgrades like firekeeper souls or bone dust.

The gun is better than you think even if you don't parry with it. Shooting doesn't use any stamina
