So, I already know I am probably not going to enjoy this game as much as I have enjoyed the rest of the series, (boring characters and I can't even manage their loadout?) but I am still a huge fan of the series and want to see it through.

But, I am really worried about the multiplayer. I don't think I have ever played any game more then Mass Effect 3 because of the Multi Player element. I just loved it to death. So, for those who have gotten into the MP aspect does it live up to the amazing multi player element of ME 3? Do you still basically need to buy as many packs as possible to level up weapons to be on par with the elite players? Does it still have the same feel?

As long as the multiplayer still works magic I will never regret buying this game.

p.s On a side note I don't understand what they were thinking. They had to know creating boring characters and diminishing player agency would lead to negative energy surrounding the game.

As a longtime Souls player I sunk many of my early points into Body and Heart so I could take a hit and dish out one without running out of ki (stamina). It seems if I level Stamina I get just as many health points and it has the added effect of allowing me to have an A agility and still wear some decent gear. Would you respec and sink all those points from Body into Stamina or is there a reason to have some Body as well as Stamina?

I realize it helps vs poison and paralysis but outside of a few bosses I am not sure how much I will need that. Thanks for your time.

Tired of facing people working together while I play with randoms.

Starting to remember what I stopped coming here. Believe it or not there was a time this was a great site to come to for game discourse.

There has got to be someone here who has an understanding of how the SL matchmaking works right? 125 to 130 does it change who I can play with on a meaningful level? I am 72.4 Weight with all the gear I want to wear. So, I need to add enough VIT to bring me down 2.4 pounds.

Anyone? Does adding a few soul levels change who I can play online with?

Hi, I am level 125 using a hybrid mellemancer build. I want to add a few soul levels for fashion souls. I just want to make sure adding say 3-5 levels to make my build 128 or 130 isn't going to lock me out of Arena PVP and Pointiff PVP. I have been struggling with this choice and could use some guidance. Thank you for your time.

What should I know? Like best starting gift or best creed? Best weapon and spell? I almost always make a meleemancer and would like to do something similar here although I would be fine with lighting.

Meaning would a Refined Dark Sword at 25 STR and 25 DEX or a Sharp Lothric Sword at 40 DEX be more powerful? I am a melee pyromancer by the way. On one hand buffing dex is good for pyro and on the other with a refined build I could make use of Sunlight Sword which I hear is really good. I just need to have a better idea about this so I can start to take my build in a real direction.

Would sticking a refined gem on it and getting your Dex and Str to 25 each make it work?

Right now I am using an upgraded Raw Astora Sword until I can figure out where I want to go. I could also pump Dex and use a Sharp Lothric Knight Sword.

I have heard Sunlight Sword is very good but it scales with Faith right?

p.s I am in the process of building a melee/pyromancer.
