Intelligent White Walkers are the Cursed. Unintelligent White Walkers are the Hollowed. It is clearly Westeros, the world of Game of Thrones! Consider the following obvious parallels: I love the game but good heavens SM just makes no sense to me.Ī look at the world of Dark Souls quickly confirms that this is not the last gasps of some boring world we don't care about. I don't understand what problem SL had aside from some frustrating twinking in earlier games, but surely the Blue Sentinel/Way of the Blue covenant should be helping this if we went back to the old SL matching system (Blue phantoms were matched to all SLs below, unless I'm mistaken, in DaS).
It's not too clear how much of that is PVP but even at the supposed SL150, it basically makes builds and stat management a moot point. Not to mention according to From's own data scraping on the Beyond the Bonfire site, a vast, vast majority of players seem to be SL200+, where you can easily hit at least five soft caps of attributes. Problem is with that amount of SM it happily matches me with SL120 and beyond. My character is at about 2.5mil but only 75 SL or so, since I've been doing a lot of sunbroing. Although it still doesn't solve the issue of little or no SL matching. So 12+ mil is its own seperate pool up to whatever the cap is? Interesting, and could help a bit with players being too dispersed.
