ring of favor +3

[veelqnexus]

At the beginning of the dlc on NG? seriously? health bonus by itself is 6% (almost the same as "normal" life ring) It seems to be op and it's available on the 1st ng cycle. Only I see this as something strange/broken?

Thank ♥♥♥♥ From put those there. NG+ is as much fun as watching paint dry in a humid room, and without bonfire asetics to get the rings without going into NG+ I never bothered. If you make new characters all the time like me then you have motivation to level them above 40-60 for PVP.

My 120-130 SL characters are on NG2+ because it was fast way to get as high level without grinding. NG+ gives way more souls. I start new characters from time to time to make new invaders in different places of the game. Ring of favor +2 was one of most popular rings for pvp. Now we have even stronger version in the game and I don't think it''s a good thing at all. I started DLC with a character on NG. After 5 minutes I got ring of favor +3, after next few minutes some npc gave me a damn SLAB because I talked to him like 2 or 3 times. Seriously? In ashes of ariandel you had to at least do something to get a slab (kill friede or crazy freezing tree for example), in old hunters you had to go deep into Orphan of Kos area to get the only Blood stone available in the dlc. It's way too easy to get this crucial item. I got discouraged by those 2 events in the dlc. I will probably finish it one day but I will wait for performance patch (1st area works very poorly comparing to main game).

Alright...Who didn't I talk to enough? All I've gotten was a damn Siegbrau from Lapp or whatever his name is.

Who freakin' cares about some lame ring? It's not going to help you at all against those gatling lasers, anyway. NO ring will help you. You even get +3 Ring of Steel Protection here, my dude. And it's not going to make it any easier. Trust me. And the Demon Prince will one-shot you no matter how much HP you have. This is undoubtedly the most hardest and difficult installment ever yet. This "OP" ring is just an illusion to make it seem like the game is "rewarding" you.

This 'lame" ring is even stronger version of a ring used by almost all melee builds in pvp. Previous veriosn is available in NG2+ in cathedral of the deep. Read whole thing 1st. I did not say it will make a difference in pve dude. For this you need to git gud.

Don't know his name I met him on the way to 2nd bonfire and after this he was sitting in different spots near 2nd bonfire (before laser shooting angels(?).

You haven't articulated your complaint clearly enough in your OP. It sounded like you were complaining that the DLC was going to be too easy because it gave you the best ring ever right at the start. If you're saying that this ring will outclass pretty much every other ring for PvP, then, yes. You're right.

Fair enough.

I'm curious. Have you played Bloodborne? In Defiled Chalice dungeon almost every mob one shots you (bosses in this area are nightmare to beat - flawless fights are needed for this).
This one sentence you wrote yesterday will force me to finish this dlc with different SL characters. I hate some initial aspects but it's great that it's difficult. Is it really more difficult than defiled chalice dungeon?

[Zeretrelle]

Considering DLC2 enemies\bosses doesn't look too OP to me.

[veelqnexus]

I meant ring to be OP for pvp. I agree with jkpark that it will not help with dlc2 pve experience. This ring, like said before by jkpark, outclasses every other ring for melee builds and it's way too easy to get it.
