When are they gonna fix the Darkmoon Covenant so that its actually possible to get summoned more than once a month?

Time for Joy!

But that’s just it this is Souls not BB. You completely miss the point. Heavy armor is supposed to do something but right now there’s almost 0 reason to ever wear heavy armor. Absorption is mediocre at best and more often not worth the extra weight.

Bloodborne did not have this problem as there was no equipment load…

You seem really hellbent on damage controlling this. You’ve responded to like every other post on here, totally glossing over the issue (that a stat exists that does nothing).

Ignore him, he’s a known troll.

“it’s situational”

This isn’t From Soft “saying” anything, this is Bamco PR making statements without any knowledge on the matter. The weapon skills you are showing reduce damage and prevent stagger regardless of poise and are based on equip load. The poise stat itself does literally nothing so if it’s “working as intended” and it’s…

BB doesn’t have a equipment load or poise stat you would have to be an imbecile for thinking 100lbs of armor makes you flinch against a dog

Stop sucking Bloodborne’s dick... seriously.

I haven’t played Bloodborne, but from what I’ve heard it doesn’t have heavy armor sets.

Getting staggered mid-attack is determined by your weapons “hyper armor” i.e. certain weapon types have a point in their swing where no matter how hard you’re hit the attack is following through to completion.

“obviously” = “having a stat that does nothing”?

What the heck are you on? I wasn’t talking about Strength or Stamina requirements for heavy weapons. Just that not being interrupted when swinging a slow, heavy weapon is helpful.

Soo.. They intended for heavy armor to be worthless?

What a bullshit answer! If a lot of gamers are taking issue with this wouldn’t it be in their best interest to properly address it?

100% this. It’s bad communication on From Software’s part, and they should be called out for it. Same with the mysterious bannings on PC.

“It’s more situational...”

Then maybe letting people know how these situation works would keep them from complaining. The way they’re speaking it seems like it IS a useless stat and they just don’t want to acknowledge. I understand they’re known for being cryptic, but there has to be a point where letting people know…

Ahh yes, the “Working as intended” conclusion, a developers best friend.

Ah that old development mantra: It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
