The old-fashioned dodge and pray xD
I've learned... you don't want to dodge away from this attack, you'll get hit trying to back out. You wanna go straight into him. I gave my Rivers of Blood to the Executor on the team. I knew it was a mistake when I did it. Pretty sure the idiot didn't use it the entire fight. Never again.

Back from Hell, and it all feels so easy now... Not having to hit a rat 10 times to kill it xD Not having to worry about negative effects on my shit, just taking it because I want it, and it doesn't hurt me. It's like I'm on fucking vacation. Why do we hurt ourselves by playing hard mode xD
Actually, oddly enough, I'm getting better players in casual mode. All the idiots are in the depths, it's pretty nice up here.

I made it to Depth 3. And this is probably as low as I'll go xD I've heard people are better in 3... But they also said that about 2, and 2 had the absolute worst teammates ever. I will admit the leavers are far fewer in hard mode. But now I have a certain appreciation for leavers because I feel like I haven't had to play full rounds with a lot of terrible players who left early. I personally didn't lose any points for the couple rounds I've left, but other people say they have. Sometimes I lose points for a loss, sometimes I don't, not really sure what causes that. I do know that you can get sent back down to 2 from 3 from losing so... I hope people in 3 are better. I'd like to stop getting fucking Night Aspected. The final boss in hard mode is random, and almost all my runs have either been Gladius or Night Aspect. There's also a chance you randomly get hit with the Everdark version of the boss, and the game doesn't tell you til you're in the boss room so I've been waiting for ED Gladius to pop. Hasn't happened yet. I enjoy fighting Night Aspect, but most other people are really, really bad at it. His Everdark version hasn't come out yet, but his normal version already has two full health bars. This is, in my opinion, where most people fuck up, they waste too much healing on his first phase because no body can fucking dodge, and attack when they should be dodging. If you have the aggro your entire existence needs to switch to defense, but fucking idiots wanna attack while they're being attacked. If there's a sword flying right at my head I'm not trying to smack the arm holding it, I'm DODGING. Then you have to be careful even attacking him from behind because he swings very wide, and has multiple swords so you can't stand there, and hit him 10 times, it's more like hithitdodgex5.
I may go back to base game for a bit. I've heard there are a lot of cheaters in the deeper depths, ww knew that would happen. I'm not really sure why you'd cheat... There aren't any tangible rewards for it, no body even knows you've accomplished it which a lot of people are whining about. If you need a new skin or a shining gold star on display as a reward for doing anything in a Souls game... you don't belong here. You don't do it to show other people you're good enough, you do it because you already know you are, and because you enjoy the suffering and struggle. It's fun xD If you're not having fun... stop whining, and go play something else.

If I have to revive you 34 fucking times... Get out xD You don't belong in hard mode. I'm not sure who fucking carried you into the deeper depths, but holy shit, you are AWFUL. Against basic Gladius. 34 times collectively they died, mostly the Executor. It's becoming a common thing in the depths that I just go from one teammate tp the other reviving them, soon as one is up the other is back down. Against the basic, easy versions of the bosses, not even the Everdarks. I'm mind blown at how terrible people are, it's not that hard, it's the same fucking game. I don't wanna play anymore xD

Only had time for one round of Nightreign today, and it was one of the worst for teammates. A Wylder and Recluse. And they were obviously in a team chat because they kept taking off, and telling me nothing. Ok, fine, I can follow along behind. Bad etiquette, why you don't just play duos if you're going to treat your third like that, but whatever, I'll adapt. We go to an evergaol beginning of second day, and I get a really, really, really good staff drop with Stars of Ruin, and Rennala's Moon. But... wanting to win, and knowing Recluse could utilize the spells better, I drop it, and ping it for her. She runs right past it, I'm assuming without even looking. So I pick it back up, I'm happy to use it myself, I was trying to help my team despite them giving zero fucks about me. We get to the final boss gate, only having gotten there because of me, because they both died multiple times, and I guess the Recluse finally saw what I had because she starts aggressively dropping, and pinging her staff, meaning she wants mine. Problem is, I'm satisfied keeping it now. Idl did try, I totally willingly dropped it, and pinged it for her earlier, and was rejected. So nah, imma keep it. Even if I hadn't tried to give it to her earlier, you're not entitled to anyone's equipment. Sorry you didn't find better yourself, that means I should turn over my good shit? Yeah, I get it, Duchess isn't as good a caster as the pure caster characters, but... the pure casters acts like she has no right to wield a staff or seal when she's literally part caster herself as a character. Just because she's A in Intelligence instead of S scaling, omg, one whole level down makes her so much worse than Recluse. She has just as much right to use a staff, and to hold on to one she takes as a reward if she wants especially when the snotty Recluse ran right by it. So no, at that point, she wasn't getting my staff. Ten to fifteen minutes of this tantrum though... Of her, and Wylder repeatedly trying to hit me, and dropping their inventory like I'm stupid, and don't understand. I get it, you're not getting it. Them they attempted to friend request me because I've had to set it to where you now have to be my friend to message me. Again, ignored, declined, I'll block them later. I even move down to the door hoping they'd take the hint, and Recluse follows me down, jumping on me, trying to hit me, being a baby. It's at this point that I no longer care about winning. And it sucks when I get to that point because it could've been an easy win, but now I have to throw because I'm not helping bitchbaby #1, and 2 get a win. I'd rather lose. Eventually the Recluse force opens the door. Cool, so if I wasn't already pissed off, that'll definitely do it. Because there goes my fully charged ult, and now if anyone dies they get to be a full two bar instead of one. I love it when people cripple their teammates. So I was definitely not helping them. After a few more minutes of sitting down, laying down, and emoting at me, they take off to fight the boss, hilariously it's Night Aspect. They get him about 1/4 down before the Recluse dies. And I'm just kinda off wandering the arena cause fuck helping them. But like I've said, if I leave it'll only make the fight easier for them so I'm gonna hang around so they can fight a full three person boss with two. After the Recluse dies, Wylder comes running over to me, Night Aspect tagging along behind him. He tries getting NA's aggro onto me, but unfortunately for him my main weapon has Less Likely To Be Targeted on it so... He didn't want any of me, kept right on chasing that Wylder all the way back to the Recluse, managed to revive her, died himself immediately after, and then she went down again. At which point I left, my work was done. I hate asshole teammates, it's just so unnecessary. Being an asshole, and being bad at the game is a really bad combo. I died once the entire round at level 2. Meanwhile, revived these two idiots several times all the way up til level 14. Skill based matchmaking my ass.

I feel bad killing Gladius now... Poor lil outcast wolfy.
Yeah remember how bad you feel, Aiyana, when this thing is aggressively trying to set you on fire xD
Makes me look at Heolstor(aka Night Aspect)different too. Sure, he wants to envelope the world in night, and rain, and endless depression, but... he's clearly not entirely heartless. I'd like more of his story. Sometimes people who are that sad want to take the happiness from everyone else, to make the whole world feel how they feel.
If only all wolves were so loyal. Then again an unloyal wolf was probably never a wolf at all. More of a mangy dog in wolf skin.

Well. I thought depth 2 would have more seasoned players. I was wrong. Very wrong xD And I just don't understand it... how did any of these fucks get to 2? I guess it's because depth 1 isn't punishing, you don't lose anything for losing. In 2 you lose your points for progression when you lose. So... I'm never leaving 2. Not because I'm bad. But because other people can not stay alive, and it's bringing out the worst in people. Like every Wylder I play with, for whatever reason, suddenly thinks they need to use incantations. I'm already fed up with fighting Recluse, Revenant, and other Duchess for fucking magic weapons, now I have to fight the melee boys as well. Yesterday I spent the entire round looking for lightning spear going against Augur, but the fucking Wylder decided to grab every seal in every Cathedral we went to. So he had lightning spear, used it about twice against the big boss, and then I got to play nurse to him, and the Ironeye, literally going from one to the other reviving them because as soon as I got one back up, the other went back down. It's fucking basic Augur, it's one of the easier bosses in the game, WHY ARE YOU DYING. You don't get to choose your boss in deep mode, and you can get hit with the Everdark version, but fucking basic-ass Augur or Gaping or Gladius... It hurts to lose. That's how bad some of these people are. I keep getting Night Aspect come up. Personally I like fighting NA, I'm good at it. Other people are not. Sure, you can definitely easily get to lower depths playing with the same solid teams with comms. Doing it completely with idiot randoms might be impossible. Because like I said, it's like people have forgotten how to play. Personally, I think the days of depth 2 are easier. I did run into the new ultra version of Bell-Bearing Hunter. My two teammates ran into castle basement at level 8, started fighting. I run in, see it's him, immediately run out xD Yeah, no, not fighting something that can kill me in one hit. Keep pinging him, Ironeye, we all know you'd be the first to die. Although I haven't seen any leavers since getting to 2, I'm guessing leaving takes away points since it counts as a loss if you leave. And that's great, but now you're stuck with an awful team that you know is awful from the beginning. Lots of times in base game people were really solid til you got to the final boss then completely fell apart. For whatever reason, almost everyone I've played with in 2 has been terrible from the start. Can't dodge, dying constantly, and extreme hoarding of equipment that would be more useful for their teammates. This new mode has turned a ton of people into selfish assholes who only care about themselves. You won't get far without your team. That includes helping your team with equipment that is more suitable for them, fucking Wylder, stop taking all the incantation seals you douche. I don't understand taking a seal or staff you can cast twice from before your mana is drained especially when yoi have a caster on your team. At that point it's a rock in your inventory. I just don't get it. It's making me not want to play having to play with these selfish idiots. Harder mode is bringing out the worst. I foolishly thought the terrible players would be stuck in 1 forever. Nah, they're gonna be keeping me in 2 forever with them xD

I've decended to depth two~
My experience with depth one... Lots of terrible players. Lots of leavers. Lots, and lots of other Duchess players who cannot dodge for anything. There was one who died many times during the two says, kept scraping her up off the ground, and finally I gave up on her at the final fight where in less than a minute probably she was already three bars dead. The Raider apparently agreed with my choice to leave her, I just wasn't willing to use up my flasks, and risk my ass bringing her back so she could die in ten seconds. I'm glad my other teammate wasn't stupid enough to help her, despite her repeatedly pinging her body, telling us to revive her. Nah. Like I said, if you wanna play, don't die. Dying a couple times, fine, but putting your team in the position of wasting their resources or dying themselves to bring you back from a full three bars, you can't be mad when they leave you. Eventually, when she realized she wasn't getting back up, she left. Sucks for her since we got the win. Personally, I'd feel pretty demeaned to watch my team go on to win while I spent 90% of the fight on the ground. I might have gotten her up again eventually once my invisibility recharged, but I'd already used it bringing her back the second time because she wanted to play like Recluse instead of Duchess. Yes, Duchess can be great with sorcery. But I feel like too many Duchess players go hard into that while putting nothing into melee or survivability. If you wanna be the pure magic bitch, go play Recluse where you can do more pure magic damage. If you're gonna use magic as Duchess, that doesn't mean you suddenly forget how to dodge. Casting is all about timing, and most people just can't get it right. Depth one in general is full of people who seemingly have completely forgotten how to play the game. It's basically the base game with some added enemies who are tougher, but give better rewards. Most equipment also has three passives now, two positive, one negative. There are a couple negative I will completely avoid like continuous hp loss or anything that makes me get hit harder especially getting hit harder after dodging. The rain doing more damage is also a bad one because you do quite frequently get caught out in it. I'm hoping depth 2 will have a little better players, but... we'll see. There are people already bragging they're at depth 5. Cool? Now you have nothing to do again, and you clearly have no life. So happy for you xD

Don't fuck with this Duchess...
I'm petty. I'm toxic. What happened?
That Wylder is an asshole. We were going up against Augur who is weak to lightning. Lightning Spear is a spell commonly found on seals. I go to a Cathedral, open the box of seals, and fucking Wylder runs in, grabs them all before I can even see what they are. Bad manners will make me turn on you in an instant. And this was right before the Night 1 boss so I figured, I'm not helping this pathetic excuse for a teammate get a win. Hope you didn't have a winstreak going, it's about to crushed because of a very stupid decision. We go into the boss fight, I'm just gonna stand there. Sure, I could leave, but that would only make the boss 1/3 easier for him. No, no, he deserved the full experience since he obviously thought he didn't need to be a team player, he should easily be able to take down a full three person boss. I mean, he had Ironeye to help him... xD
I do feel bad for the Ironeye caught in the middle, I'm sure he was confused. Wylder didn't care much for my antics as he's seen doing the dreaded point downwards, and trying to lure the boss into hitting me. So the fact that it not only hits him, but also kills him as I effortlessly dodge away... Perfect. The boss looming in the background, slowly walking up to us like, "Umm, you guys are supposed to be fighting me, not each other."
I'll get to you in a minute, old man, I can only deal with one asshole at a time xD
I was going to walk over to his body, and point down at him while he lay dying, but Ironeye died right after so I decided just to leave. I don't wanna be that person, but if you're that person, I'm gonna be that person.

That last one is HUGE if it extends my invisibility long enough to consistently revive people from a three bar. Usually it wears off after two bars, and then you're fully exposed depending on your dodging abilities. I can do it, but being invisible longer will be a major help especially if things are one-shotting people deeper into the new mode. Aside from that, I am most often the last one standing in boss fights, it's always up to me to get everyone back up so I greatly appreciate this.
Also something they fixed, something I mentioned.
These are the god swords who buff your stats, and can carry anyone. And there are people who jump games desperately trying to find them, people with no skill who need a god sword to carry them. And I was concerned these are the people who are going to get the deepest in hard mode because they're going to game hop til they get it, then steamroll straight to level 5. But now they've made it so the buffs you get are limited. Still very helpful to have, but people can't rely on unlimited health, stamina, and power now. They may actually have to develop some skill. Or they'll ragequit, and leave the game entirely, totally fine with that. According to the patch notes, they've also made an actual penalty for leaving games now. I don't think it'll be enough to actually stop most leavers from leaving, but maybe it'll discourage some. Look, if you don't wanna play with me that's fine, I can take care of myself. But the leaving over the stupidest ego bullshit is out of control. So you died, so you made a bad choice, so you were a fucking dumbshit, that's ok, get back up, keep going. So much of humanity is willing to give up on everything because of any little inconvenience, and it's extremely troubling. Humans have no balls, they're just asking to be annihilated. This is what online gaming does to you, turns you into the Joker xD I can't get ONE good teammate so burn the whole world down❤️
Which isn't true, I do get to occasionally play on a good team. Just... not often. Not enough .

What's a girl to do when her entire team abandons her...
Solo Astel.
Completely destroy Tree Sentinel, and his two buddies.
And then take down Hell's bitches just for fun WITHOUT using the Astel revive ~
Everdark Gladius, officially soloed by the big, bad Bun with nothing, but a Bloodstained Dagger, and Comet on a staff. Absolutely no holy power to my name. I am the greatest of all time xD
Why did my team leave me? Well the other Duchess on the team decided she wanted to tackle an evergaol beginning of day 2 when we had the entirety of city at our disposal. I simply refuse to do anything second day that isn't city unless it's in the immediate vicinity or on the way. If you want to waste your time on that bullshit, you do you. It's all because there's a relic effect that increases your attack power per evergaol you beat. And that's fine, but I generally have better relics to use, and like I've mentioned before, evergaols don't drop equipment so I don't want to run 10 evergaols just to show up to the final boss with the basic Duchess dagger. I'd rather hit city where there are a wealth of opportunities for golden equipment drops, guaranteed from Astel. Of course I didn't find anything suitable this run, but sometimes you gotta make due with what you got. Anyway, other Duchess went alllllll the way to the top right evergaol, as far away from city as possible, and after wasting half a day not beating it, they left immediately followed by the Ironeye who I can only imagine left simply from being a huge pussy who needs two people to carry his dead-weight ass. I mean, he was with me, and we were doing fine without a third, but whatever, the trash takes itself out sometimes. I love getting a win with suboptimal equipment, and pretty much everything working against me. When the three Tree Sentinel boss popped out I was like, ok game, you're very funny, three vs one, you think you've got me this time xD I wish these fucking crybabies would get off my fucking game. Tucking your tail, and running away because you couldn't solo a single evergaol at level 10... Embarrassing❤️
I will admit I'd been deliberately not helping this other Duchess, and maybe she finally picked up on that. I'm over the aggressive, greedy grabby, staff-hungry Duchess, Recluse, and Revenants. There are staff drops on top of fortresses, but there are also bosses you have to run by to access them. If I'm fighting the boss, and you bumrush past without stopping to help me, I am officially not helping you the rest of the round. I don't want the fucking staffs, you can fucking have them, but if you run past me fighting this big thing because you're so fucking worried I'll grab them first... Like, I could've ran by, and grabbed them myself if I wanted them, asshole, fucking help me. You don't help me, I will not help you because you've displayed to me that you're a bad teammate. At this point, you're better off just leaving. Hopefully people like that get stuck in depth 2 of Deep of Night forever. If you can't cooperate with people you'll never get to 5. I'm not even sure I can get to 5... but I'll try~
Immediately after this I go into a triple Duchess run. Same fucking thing, both leave. Only this time they leave because one decided to go after a Black Blade Kindred, one of the most difficult field bosses in game, extremely tanky, easily one-hit kills you, and the rain is quickly closing in. I run past when I see it hoping they'll take the hint. Nope, they're idiots, both of them instantly get hit and die. I run over, revive them, run away from the damn thing again hoping they'll follow. Nope. Fucking idiots. Both dead again. I'm already running away, I'm not helping stupid again. They both leave. Fine by me, you bitches obviously can't dodge, and you're too stupid to know when to run away. Is the expectation that I'm supposed to throw myself into this thing desperately trying to save you til I also die? I gave you a free revive, you turned around, and continued to hit thr thing that instakilled you. That's next level stupid. People say they get a lot of Duchess leavers, I tend to agree.

So I'm confused... I finally get on 76, expecting to be outraged because everyone has been bitching about how badly nerfed everything is, my gun in particular. But actually...
This is before.
This is now.
Which is an increase in ammo capacity, but also a pretty substantial boost to damage, range, and accuracy. Although I saw I was hilariously over 300 damage at one point.
So... I'm not at all sure what people are whining about. If you can't get damage out of your weapon, particularly the Fixer in this case, you obviously don't know how to build your gun or your character. The one drawback the newer version has is that the Action Point usage went from 3 or 4 per a shot to 12. BUT. They added this new perk last update.
So it's beneficial to have higher AP. Two percent may not sound like much, but an attack buff is an attack buff, and that's how you get over 300 damage from a rifle. I can't shoot endlessly anymore, oh no. Personally, that's a loss I'll take because now other people also can't shoot endlessly so no one can show up, and clear an event in two seconds. I'm totally good with that. I'm not mad at Bethesda right now, people are, as usual, lazy idiots who don't know how to properly play a game so they whine about it. The more I play games online, the more I realize I hate other gamers xD The largest collective group of fucking crybabies.

The Libra Slayer 5000~
Flame of Frenzy AND Placidusax's Ruin AND Madness Resistance. Ah, my heart💛
Needless to say, went down easy.
I actually duped it in city for Ironeye, but he didn't take it. So also needless to say, I fucking carried. I'm getting used to just playing duo because probably 80% of games, someone leaves, but if the other person is willing to stay, I'll stay. It actually feels like it makes the game substantially easier as a duo as long as your partner is solid. Had a duo earlier with a Recluse who literally just had to stand, and blast Everdark Gaping Jaw while I kept them on me. But no. Fucking Recluse was up that dragon's ass, and just getting slammed constantly. Not helpful. Then I go into a round where one of my teammates opens an evergaol that the rain is literally coming into, out pops an ancient dragon, and here comes the local Deathrite Bird to join the party. All this, and we're level fucking 4. I've never ran away so fast xD But my idiot teammates actually tried to fight, and died almost immediately, and then ragequit. People gotta learn when to run the fuck away. They were pinging me to come back and help. Sorry, I can't help stupid, there's no reviving your brain if you don't immediately run away from that deathtrap. That was after they both died to the Banished Knights evergaol so honestly, not a loss getting out of that run, no way they'd survive ED Gaping. These are the people who are never going to get lower than level 2 in Deep of the Night mode. I think most people will get to 2, but after that if it really gets as hard as they say... But hey, that'll definitely weed out most of the bad players. The issue is that cheaters are going to be lower down than anyone, or anyone who gets the god swords, Marais or Grafted, cause anyone can survive with stats buffed as long as your arm. That's the only way a lot of people can beat the harder bosses, they have no skill, and have to entirely rely on getting those swords which kinda makes me wish they'd take them out. Especially since people wanna run city first thing trying to find them since they're most likely to find them there. You ping city before we've even landed, I'm leaving and blocking, because chances are you're going to leave anyway when you don't find what you're looking for. Just a waste of everyone's time because gods forbid you should use anything else. I find the rounds where you don't have the most optimal equipment to be the most fun, and most satisfying when you win.

Tell your wife to git gud instead whining on the internet, bitchboy~
Seriously though. All I'm seeing is how difficult Silksong is. Did none of you fuckers ever actually play Hollow Knight to completion? Cause I wouldn't say it's insanely difficult, but it's pretty tough in certain areas. I'll play Silksong eventually I'm sure, but we've got Deep of the Night coming Thursday from a real game so not particularly interested right now. I like Hollow Knight, but I feel like I like it more for the cute/gloomy aesthetic more than the actual gameplay. They're calling it the Dark Souls 2 of the series which I don't think is an insult. I like Dark Souls 2. I liked it when it came out. I don't like it as much as Dark Souls 1. But that's not a roast, DS1 is just THAT good. This is exactly why I wish people would stop demanding a Bloodborne 2, it's gonna be Dark Souls 2 all over, it'll never live up to the original, and you bitches will do nothing, but whine about it.
Gods forbid you fucking crybabies have to put in effort, develop skill to play a game instead of mash button, get easy win. Nah, cry til the devs nerf everything, that's the way. Devs actually expect people to PLAY games these days? Madness. Insanity. Chaos. Give me my instant win button now.

Wylder reprimanding Guardian after beating Everdark Gaping Jaw xD
Giving someone the pointing down gesture is the Nightreign way of saying YOU SUCK.
I came out actually never having gone down, and using zero of my flasks. Pretty proud of that. Birdboy died three times so maybe that's why Wylder is on him. He also spent most of the round fucking off, doing his own thing. Which is fine, if you don't want to cooperate, you don't have to especially if you can survive on your own, go off as you like. Dunno why you don't just play solo, but whatever. So maybe that bothered Wylder or him dying three times. To be fair, Wylder had the Grafted Greatsword which turns everything into easy mode because as long as you're holding it, everything you kill gives you buffs to your HP, FP. Stamina, and attack. So if you go around killing absolutely everything, even one-hit basic enemies, you can get your stats to extend across the whole fucking screen. So I personally feel like... if you're buffed up that much, and didn't die to the boss, you don't really get to brag or put anyone else down since you had SIGNIFICANT advantages. I didn't. I wasn't buffed at all, and I didn't die, and didn't even need to heal. Just pure dodging. Let's see you do that before mocking someone else. Just saying. There are people who will only play the game of they get this sword. It spawns most frequently in the city so there are people who run city day one just to find it early, and if they don't, they quit. If you need a health bar the length of your screen to beat anything... you have no skills, and you should probably go play GTA or something. I'm not saying that's necessarily the case with this Wylder, I'm just saying you shouldn't criticize other people for dying when you have a god sword keeping you alive. Guardian is hard to play anyway. Usually Guardian mains are all about the team so I'm guessing that probably isn't this person's main. The whole point of playing Guardian is protecting your team. If you're off away from your team... I think you don't understand the character.
But I do think it's extremely petty that instead of being happy, and celebrating a win you'd immediately go over, and tell someone you think they're bad. Is that validating, does it make you feel big? Pretty pathetic.

On a positive note. Anyone who says Guardian sucks...
Hasn't had a good one cause we duoed the fuck outta Night Aspect.
Also. How did I avoid this fucking nuke xD
Usually for this attack I'll back way off, and dodge. But my teammate was dead, and we bad the Astel full revive still so if I died here, I thought, no big deal. If we still have the full revive, and my teammates are dead, I usually won't try healing unless I have a lot of flasks, I'll just do as much damage as I can before I die, and then we both get back up full. One of the biggest things for fighting Night Aspect, in my opinion, don't waste flasks during his first phase so don't get hit. NA is a very, very dodge heavy boss because he can easily hit you on the backswing even if he's not targeting you. With him, caution is much more important than aggression, do not take stupid hits being overly aggressive. He's not difficult to dodge, but his combos can go pretty long so you have to pay attention, and you may dodge ten times just to get in one good hit. Easy damage on him is during his projectile attack, screen goes dark, he kneels down, stuff starts flying at you. Stay close to him, but not too close because you take damage being too close, but stick close, circle around him, and once the projectiles stop, rush in for like three seconds of free damage on him. One of your best windows. This is why Guardian, and Duchess work well together because Guardian is made to draw aggro so they face-tank the boss while Duchess stabs the hell outta their back xD

My dead-weight teammates pinging their bodies as I die as if to say, "If you'd revived us we could've helped you instead of leaving us dead half the match.."
Hey, so crazy concept... if you didn't die, you get to play. Wild, I know. Amd these two were a hard fucking carry. Because I did revive them, many, many times. I wasted my own healing, and invisibility multiple tries keeping them alive, they'd died multiple times before the second phase even fucking started. I couldn't tell you who was worse because yes, the Ironeye was constantly dead, but the other Duchess, who got two full revives via Astel, and an item, died instantly both times trying to revive the dumbass Ironeye who couldn't provide anything to the fight the two seconds he'd be alive anyway so why are you wasting everything trying to revive him? That drives me insane when one bad Teammate, instead of helping me kill the thing,, chooses to help the other terrible teammate, and then also dies again especially if they were just revived. And I'd absolutely love to know when they thought I'd have time to leisurely stroll over, and revive them from a three bar while I'm being chased down by THREE angry fire wolves xD Because I didn't have any help, because they were terrible. I'm ready for the skill based matchmaking, terrible players can grow with each other or go play something else, I'm over these idiots being in harder fights.
You can almost always tell when a round is going to he miserable. I left in the middle of a night one night boss for the first time. Why? Because my two teammates, a Recluse and another Duchess immediately let me know they were trash. Rain's closing in, they're off dying in a fortress next to the circle, desperstely looting for staffs. That's why I'm glad I have a build wherein I don't rely on sorcery anymore. I can be a competent caster if I want, but I'm not built around it so I don't have to fight anyone for staff drops. The other Duchess actually had Rivers of Blood so I'm not even sure why they were racing the Recluse for a staff, but whatever. This Duchess did not understand using ROB though because all they wanted to do was spam Corpsepiler. We were going up against Bell Bearing Hunter who is very tanky, hits very hard, and switches targets very quickly so you can't just mindlessly spam attack him, you need to dodge his attacks or you're going to die. Other Duchess did not understand this concept, and died multiple times. The Recluse also died multiple times. So ultimately I'm left standing there with two dead-weoght teammates at full three bars on the first fucking boss. And you think I'm going to go into ED Gladius with you? Fuck that, I'm out. Because what's going to happen is that other Duchess is going to rely on ROB to carry her through the game, use it twice on Gladius, and get slammed because she thinks having a good sword means you don't need to dodge. Rivers is a great sword, but it quickly loses it's power against the big bosses who gain resistance to status effects over the course of you using them against them. Rivers is one of the best weapons for building up bleed on enemies which leads to blood loss which chunks off a decent amount of damage. But. After you induce blood loss, the enemy becomes resistant to it, do it again, more resistance so it's harder, and harder to get that bleed built up. If you're relying on this to do most of your damage, you're quickly going to be doing very little. Now what Rivers is fantastic at is reviving people so I'd still keep it on hand through the days. But people really need to learn to lean into enemies weakness. Gladius is super susceptible to holy damage, and both top-tier daggers in the game are holy, you're much better off taking one of those in against him. Or incantations, there are no holy sorceries,, you need seals, and Recluse can use incantations just as effectively as Revenant, but so many of them completely pass on incantations for sorceries.. I dropped a Recluse a seal with Placidusax's Ruin on it, one lf the best holy incants in game, and she completely ignored it. And then we lost. Big surprise.
I'm not even sure why Revenant exists. Duchess uses sorceries better than her, Recluse does sorceries, and incantations better than her, and she doesn't have the survivability of Duchess. The only thing she can do that's unique is summon, but her summons die in about two hits vs big bosses so they're basically worthless. A lot of people do the meme thing, and give her a colossal weapon because little girl with huge weapon is apparently hilarious. But she doesn't have the strength or stamina to use it, and her hp is so bad she dies getting anywhere near anything. So why anyone plays Revenant, I don't get it, other characters do everything she can do, but better.

Very, very occasionally you get a Recluse who knows what they're doing...
Me, and her got the win after our bum-ass Executor abandoned us. Once again, went down twice to Astel, tapped out while I was literally reviving him. I guess if you name yourself Trash at least you're self-aware of your own existence. So we took down Astel, didn't even need the revive, I actually didn't go down at all, and we were against ED Gladius. Brought her back three times, but she was still pretty good. I had a run right before with two Raiders, easy win you'd think, but nah, they were dead much more often than this Recluse. People say they don't like playing with the "squishy" characters, and sure, it's agonizing when they have zero survivability. I landed on a team of all three Duchess, and immediately I knew it wasn't going to last because one of the characters was named DontFollowMe or some bullshit. So no body was pinging. And that's fine, I decided I'd just go do my own thing, they could follow me if they wanted. I headed off towards an easy cathedral, and they left together, opened an Evergaol at level 2, and both died almost immediately. So fucking left xD Because I'm not putting up with that level of stupid for an hour. That's my main gripe with Evergaol meta, I'm fine doing them lower level, but know when to run away like if you open one, and an ancient dragon or Godskin Duo pops out, let's leave instead of everyone dying multiple times, we can come back later. Like trying to fight Loretta on your way into city. I refuse to do it anymore. You ping Loretta, good luck with that, I'm going into city. Going into city you're usually around level 7 or 8, coming put you're generally up to 12-14. Loretta is a tanky fucking bitch on horseback who hits like a truck. If you choose to fight her going in, you're basically choosing her over beating Astel. Simple buff vs full team revive... Seems like an easy choice, and you can fight her after Astel if you have time. If I stop at a boss with one teammate, see our other teammate isn't coming to help, and realize it's more than two of us can handle, I run away. You don't have anything to prove by dying to something you should've ran away from except that you're bad.
I'll admit... Much trouble as it was to initially beat ED Gladius, I enjoy going against him now as long as my team aren't complete dumbasses. This Recluse knew when to not hit him which helps a lot. I honestly think he's easier as a Duo which most people seem to disagree with. Now ED Libra... I still don't enjoy that one xD It would be fine if other people would get on board with how to beat him, but... It's just tedious.
I did get some redemption though.
Thank you, Halo Scythe~
I was in a round earlier with this exact Wylder, and a Raider also vs Gladius. He was nearly dead, only a couple hits away, they were both dead, already used the Astel revive, so it was up to me to literally hit this thing maybe twice, and he caught me out in a chain attack that killed me. If I hadn't wasted my invisibility reviving these idiots just for them to die... But that's how it goes sometimes. Got him this time though with another decent Recluse. I've seen a lot of shitty Raiders these last few days so maybe the terrible players have moved on to him. I think the main problem with Raider is he's the tanky boy so people don't pay attention to his HP or damage negation. Like I saw someone complaining that they play Recluse, and how dare a Wylder keep a staff from them with a useless passive. That passive was Damage Negation At Full HP which is definitely not useless for anyone especially on higher grade items. I had a Raider do this to me recently. Followed me to a seal spawn point, and grabbed up a Flame of Frenzy seal right underneath me with a passive that increased spell casting speed. If we were fighting anything other than a fire wolf who's resistant to even the Flame of Frenzy... I would've left right there. But since it was useless, even more so to him, I let it slide. I could've used it successfully throughout the rest of the round, but nah, you definitely need a rock in your inventory, big guy. Fucking loot goblins.

Imagine being one hit away from death...
But this good at dodging~
I thought I blew it when I missed him xD When he has his sword in his mouth, that's usually when you don't want to hit him because it buffs his attack. But since he was literally a hit away from dying it wouldn't matter... if I didn't miss xD Hey, I still got it. The sword thing is always followed by an explosive fire move that I'm shocked did not kill me. I mean... totally calm, totally had it all under control the entire time. And of course, my teammates were dead.

I'm noticing a new trend in Nightreign of people quitting out during the final boss fight. It's happened like five times in the past couple days. Usually I'd chalk it up to connection issues, but it seems to be happening pretty consistently, and usually after someone dies twice early. I can bring you back from a two bar pretty easily. Dead at three bar, sure, you're just dead-weight at that point especially if you've died twice before we even get the damn thing down to 50%. If nothing else, if I do revive you just focus on keeping yourself alive so the boss has someone else to chase. I don't necessarily need you to do damage if you're just going to stand there trying to cast a spell, and get one-shot. Since you clearly lack the ability to simultaneously do damage, AND keep yourself alive, you're only real use to me is as bait. If more people would just accept this, that they're bad so focus on staying alive while I kill it, we'd have so many more wins. Too many D-grade players wanna be the hero, and they just can't do it. And it's ALWAYS the fucking Recluse. I thought, hey, maybe if I don't take Less Likely To Be Targeted then it'll help other people stay alive. Nah. They still die just as easily the second a boss turns their attention to them so I may as well cover my own ass, and use them as shields for as long as I can cause they're gonna die immediately either way if it's Recluse, Revenant or Ironeye. I hate to be like that, but you know you're bad, get out of the harder boss fights or suffer being a meat shield until you improve xD But yeah, lots of people leaving mid-fight. Maybe they feel like because THEY died multiple times already we can't possibly win so they may as well get a jump on a restart, hopefully with someone who can carry them. What a beautiful attitude to have, abandon your team because you couldn't stay alive. It's not my job to keep you alive. Help you, yes, fully protect you, no That's what I love about being on a good team, I actually get to focus on myself, and my own enjoyment of the game instead of babysitting Recluse who needs reviving every encounter. Can you tell I really don't like playing with Recluse, the people who play her are such a gigantic pain in my ass, can you please just stay alive xD

I was wondering the entire round what the fuck this guy's name meant...
Oh, I got the dog~
Seems like kind of a waste to not use your ultimate the entire round, but hey, however you have fun, and we still got the win. I'll admit I didn't see any hope when our Recluse, because of course it was a Recluse, left us. Been playing a lot of duos lately because of bum-ass teammates leaving. I won't leave just because one person leaves. I was on a team earlier with someone straight up named "Quitter." Not surprisingly, they left right before the Night 2 boss. And the Executor on my team then decided to also abandon me. Not this one though which I appreciate. I don't see the point of playing 30-40 minutes into a game just to be like, "Hehehe, now Imma leave." Do you really have nothing better to do or nothing more to validate your existence? I don't get the troll mentality, a lot of effort, and time wasted to piss people off. I wasn't even pissed off, I just kept going solo, then blocked both of them after. I think I've blocked probably 15 people today, if everyone would just block the shitty players they'd have no one to annoy, but each other. This Executor was really good though, and you rarely see a decent Executor, part of the reason I didn't think we stood a chance in Hell especially going against Night Aspect. I love the wins you don't expect. In fact, we even had Astel, didn't use it, didn't need it. And I got the dog❤️
Immediately after I went into an Everdark Gladius run, and once again, the fucking Recluse left. But me, and Wylder pulled it off. I think Gladius might be easier as a duo. I'm actually finding most runs easier after the Recluse leaves because then I don't have to fucking babysit them. Most of the losses I seem to have are due to constantly needing to revive the Recluse, Revenant or Ironeye. I actually enjoy fighting Everdark Gladius though. Painful as it was to get that first win, I feel like more people have caught on now how to beat him. Not the case with ED Libra. I was in a duo actually with a Recluse after our Wylderefy, and we both had Less Likely To Be Targeted which is what you want because then the summons will go after each other I'd you leave then alone, and lure Libra away. But this fucking Recluse kept trying to fight the summons like an idiot. The entire point of us both having Less Likely is so they'll leave us alone... Why? Just why?

Well it happened like I predicted. Bethesda has now nerfed heavy weapons in 76 after doing rifles dirty last update. I haven't gotten on yet to check out the updates, and the new season. I feel like it's just going to piss me off. I've heard people ate dying much easier now, and enemies are harder to kill. I'm not necessarily against that because it's super boring showing up to events with power armored Gatling Plasma assholes who one-shot everything in two seconds. I would personally enjoy the game becoming an actual challenge. When you get up past level 1000, and you're running around like an unkillable god, it's not as much fun as the struggle. I couldn't even tell you the last time I died in 76, many months, maybe years. So I don't mind that. But nerfing things left, and right in the name "balance"... I think Bethesda just needs to accept that some playstyles are more powerful than others. Obviously shooting something is going to be better than punching it, and blowing it up is better than either. Trying to make them all equal is fucking stupid unless you're gonna give me an explosive fucking knife, I'd be good with that. That actually would be fun, some kinda explosive melee build that would obviously also damage you so you'd have to watch your health closely, but if it did a lot of damage, lots of fun. Bethesda does not care for fun or success because every time 76 experiences a rush of popularity they shit all over it with their bogus updates.

This Raider being the homie xD
My team had wiped to a Draconic Tree Sentinel as the rain was coming in at Night 2. So after we beat the Night 2 boss we all ran back over in the rain, finished him, got our runes back, and headed back for the circle. I've mentioned that if you hang around in the rain too long it'll eventually instakill you. Well that's what happened to me not too far from the circle. My teammates had already made it to safety so I figured, ok, I'll die, no big deal. I won't leave over dying. Especially since I was dying close enough that I could easily run back out, grab my Runes again, and get back safely. But Rauder, seeing me die, rushed out to revive me only for me to take two steps, and instantly die again. I don't he understood that I was instantly dying due to the rain, not everyone knows that. Or maybe he thought we were close enough he just wasn't going to let me die. Either way, I slowly crawled my way to the circle with him reviving me before I could fully die about three times xD He would not give up. I feel like part of that is because often times, even at the end of Night 2, people will leave if they die. Had it happen last night. Was teamed with a Recluse, and Revenant. It's Mountaintop, and we're going against Sentient so the power there is completely useless, but they head up anyway, and then decide to fight the ice dragon. This dragon is a trap because it's very tanky, can easily one shot you, and you almost never have time to kill it before the rain comes in. We get it down to 1/4 of its health when the rain starts coming into it's arena. I know when to run away. I know when we're not beating something. and that continuing to try will kill us all. Ice dragon drops a guaranteed golden weapon, sure, but we didn't need it. Three magical bitches vs two big fire-weak bugs, easy win. So I decided fuck this dragon, and headed for the circle. Revenant wisely followed me. I'd played with this Revenant a couple times before so they know I know what I'm doing, if I'm running away, you should probably follow. Recluse does not follow. Seconds later, when Rev, and I are already down the mountain, Recluse dies. Recluse leaves. Expected. If you're that garbage thay a single level is going to break you, I personally feel better off without you because Rev had the Flame of Frenzy so we had an easy win. That was the second time a Recluse left me that day because earlier it also happened, was with a Recluse, and an Executor who was obviously very new to the game, and I'd played with this Recluse before, they were not good, but they kept going off by themselves which I knew would lead to disaster, and ultimately they got killed by a bat at a Cathedral, and left even though Executor, and I were right there, running over to help her. That Executor followed me around like a baby xD And then we wiped to fucking Dancer because they could not stay alive. But they didn't leave, they kept trying. It's ok to be bad if you don't have a bad attitude. Both just make you a huge asshole.

When you act like an asshole, don't expect me to revive you. In fact, you should then expect me to actively get you killed. Had a round wiry a Revenant, and another Duchess. Seemed fine at first, but we get to Magma Wyrm, asshole Duchess decides not to easily revive me or Revenant, then proceeds to die themselves. Ok, not that big of a deal. Revenant, and I then head over to fight Gargoyle. Other Duchess wanders off to kill a much, much easier boss, seemingly is done helping us. Ok, I can forgive either of those. What sent me over the edge was we were going against Libra, and before the Libra boss fight starts, he gives you the opportunity to take one of his deals. Most of these deals I'll pass on, but there's one in particular, Resistance to Ailments, which gives you 150 resistance to madness, his main attack, in exchange for 10% of your stamina. So it's a pretty good fucking deal especially since Revenant, and I both had golden Frenzy Seals. That's the downside of using the Flame of Frenzy, it gives you madness build-up, so 150 resistance to it would've been incredibly useful, but bitch-ass lesser Duchess rushed in, and immediately started attacking Libra so no one could even see what the fucking deals were. That was the point I no longer cared about winning, I just wanted to see her die xD Petty, yes, but I'm really, really fed up with the bad player behavior so if you're gonna be a bad teammate, I'm going to deliberately stick to your ass, and get the boss to smack the shit outta you. Would've been an easy win if you'd just been a team player, like, why are you on multi-player if you wanna play like a selfish asshole? I think she got the hint that I wasn't going to revive her after I chose to revive Revenant on three bars instead of her on one. Of course, Revenant immediately revives her worthless ass, and they both die, and then she leaves.
Just like if you're going to be that douchebag who fucks around in the rain only to sprint past everyone running to the door just to open the door, and force-start the final fight...
Yeah, I'm not leaving anymore. Nah. I'm gonna go into the fight, stand as far away as possible, and watch you die. Because if I leave then the boss will get scaled down for ttwo. No, no, you're going to fight a full three person boss with two because you saw button, and just had to push button. The thing is, when you force-start the fight, the game counts it as a death. So when you then die to the boss, it's a two-bar revive instead of one. As the person who's going to have to get your ass back up, huge inconvenience. There's no need to open the door especially when everyone is actively running to it, and YOU'RE the one who took so long. At that point, you're either an asshole or an idiot for crippling our fight, probably both, and not only will I not help you, I'm gonna make it as hard as possible.
I don't understand why FromSoftware made it so punishing just to open that door. You can be having such a good run, and then... totally ruined. And maybe some people just don't know that opening the door counts as a death. Better fucking learn. I have no problem completely throwing a run last second if you piss me off. Sure. Play how you want to play. But don't be a fucking inconsiderate idiot.
