Dark Souls 3

The reason that mechanic existed was because of Soul Level or whatever it was called as well.

So you couldn't farm and level endlessly and overlevel all the content.

Except you could still do that, so the mechanic didn't even achieve what it was supposed to, and yes.

Its a pussy shit mechanic and one very solid legit reason to think DS2 is a wanna be.

I liked DS2, I didn't mind the mechanicin that title, but I'm glad to see its gone for the finale.

Bad polygon review? Sounds like this game is going to rock.

Dark Souls to me was always "if you die, everything comes back (except bosses)". DS2 did away with that and made what is now dubbed Pussy Mechanic #1

Did any of you actually die/respawn enough to see enemies stop spawning? It only happened to me if I was going back to farm mobs for rare items. Never during a normal playthrough did I die in an area so many times that enemies stopped spawning.

So what you are saying is it was a meaningless mechanic then?

I intentionally farmed mobs until they quit spawning in DS2 to "clear" zones and suck up as much XP from them as possible.

I think I had one place I ran through enough in DS2 to cause enemies to stop spawning; I believe it was the hallway leading to Vendrick. Even with the giant souls, I beat my head against that particular wall a lot before I was able to finally beat him.

Depends on the run, but I did that on some of my runs as well.

I'm just wondering why people act like it's such a big deal when they probably never even ran into it.

It doesn't even matter, it's not in DS3. End of discussion.

I would regularly farm the shit out of the entire tower full of giant armor dudes area early in the game, while leaving a co-op mark down for more XP, for the express purpose of obtaining certain gear and spells I wanted. I also farmed the shit out of the poison area deep in the dark hole area for forging materials. The fire castle and uber dragon areas were also good farm spots, where you could do some coop for even more XP. I had zero interest in PvP, but really liked helping people beat those bosses and areas. Thus they were also the only areas that I farmed into spawn extinction.

Yeah, I usually farmed out Iron Keep because the xp was insane, but that's about it for vanilla.

After a few assrapings from the Fume Knight I farmed out the giants before him.

Skanda · Apr 6, 2016

I farmed out several areas until I found out about the farming area in the Undead Crypt with the mobs that would never stop respawning.

Bro unlike you the rest of us can't play right now. All we can do is pile on shitty decisions From has made in the past.

Awesome job making it, especially liked the ending when none of them could barely even hold it up.(not that I could either)

Yuck. My pc is getting old. Glad I preordered for ps4.

These jerks are releasing DS3 right at the end of the college semester, so I'll probably wait until the end of the month after finals before I get to play it anyway.
