>>128753014
Yeah, I wasn't too happy about that either. I didn't even like that in Bloodborne to begin with.

I don't mind bloodshed per se, but not every single hit should cause a huge gush of blood to come out.

It's almost cartoonish how it looks sometimes.

>>128753862
he does seem a bit suicidal the closer I look at his lines.
>What's wrong? Get a bit of scare out there?
No problem. Have a seat and get comfortable.
We'll both be Hollow before you know it.
Hah hah hah hah…

Is SL40 too loo low to invade in anal rodeo or something? Spamming red orb for ages

>>128754173

Are you on PC? Then why aren't you just using a save editor? Why ever deal with RNG? Fuck, that's what I'm gonna do when Dark Souls 3 comes out. I'll just play the game and not farm for shit and wait for a save editor to come out. No way am I going to waste my time leaving the outcome of my gaming session to the RNG dice of the game.

If you're not on PC? Well, sucks be to you.

>>128754173

Dude, why? Just equip agape ring and join CoC.

>>128754296

whats your excuse? look at how bad the fucking ports are and try to defend that

>>128755896
>if you can avoid getting hit

it's great to swap in along with a spear even if you do get hit, albeit a bit lame

How can I make Santier's Spear work? It looks cool and all but even upgraded to+5 and raw infused it does shit damage in NG+4 Would high INT, magic infusion, CMW with magic clutch ring work?

Co-op signs. Absolutely everywhere. For the 6 hours I've been playing today.
And now when I actually need a co-op sign, I find none.

Is this intentional or something? It feels like it.
Yes. I am a coward. If this wasn't Dark Souls II I would just courageously fight back and dare the challenges and reclaim my souls.
But this is Dark Souls II, and if I lose all my souls that will stain my Soul Memory forever.

>>128756491
Eh no. The mouse+keyboard combination is superior for turning and manuevering as long as you have a solid mouse like the g502 with a good set of buttons

Add autohotkey for some macros and it's pretty damned smooth for both quick attacks, moveswaps and all your tryhardy little tricks

But yeah, I'm resigned to DS3 being FUBAR on launch (as per fucking usual)

>>128756491
DaS2 is perfectly playable with even default settings and kb+mouse, what are you talking about?

>>128756803

Problem solved.

>>128757115
That ring doesn't really solve the problem. Soul memory can still ruin characters.
Being able to lock your soul memory doesn't really help you much if it also locks your ability to gain souls at all. So if you lose a lot of souls your character will be a lot weaker than it should be at that level of soul memory.

>>128756803
>will stain my Soul Memory forever

People really need to calm down about this shit. It matters so little because other player's SM just race away while you are being careful about your sm. You will get bored of your build before you meet the SL838 monsters.

>>128757268
that's only really a problem when it comes to gear with high requirements, the game is just as beatable at level 40 with a fully upgraded weapon than it is at 120

Thanks for coming.

Which is the best medium shield? I'm torn between Defender's Shield, Drakekeeper Shield, or King's Shield.

I am playing a squishy mage and I am having the hardest time defeating the Executioner's Chariot.
The boss itself isn't anything special, but I can't get rid off the skeletons in time. So they gang up on me and kill me whenever I hide from the chariot.

H-help?

>>128761565
Don't hide. Just roll under the spikes.

>>128761565
Pussy out like the pussy ass mage you are, kill the first necronancer and set of skeletons, hide in the alcove where you killed the mage and shoot a soul arrow/2 at the chariot when he comes around the corner
Repeat until he is ab 30% health and stops showing up, go past everything and shoot him once so he falls down and enjoy your easy souls

>>128761556
Defender has better resistances imo (magic over fire) and more stability. King's shield looks awesome though and the differences are ultimately unimportant so go for whatever you want.

>>128761565
Get a mace, upgrade it and two hand that shit. Use yearn to distract skeletons. Kill Necros. Win.

Would you like to see the summoning system from BB in DaS3? If you don't know - you can play through areas constantly looking for summons at the cost of them then having to find you after.

I like that it's tied to being invaded too, even though it creates ganks.

Twinking. It was Shibuya's idea, as many people claim, although there is no direct confirmation to that.
Honestly I think it would've been a decent system if it only accounted souls spent on leveling yourself and upgrading your gear. It wouldn't fix all problems with twinking in that case, but it would've been a step closer to it.

glitch something that doesn’t always happen. the o&s thing is a glitch (the hitbox of smoughs hammer has stayed were it was when ornstein died). the mimic always happens but can be explained with many ways. the most flattering one (and personal favourite along with the other shitty grabs): you’re supposed to be hit there, but the animation should change a bit regarding your place, it’s just not displayed well. unfortunately, with the way lingering hitboxes work, it will likely never be fixed, even in ds3. there are bullshit hitboxes in ds1 were it’s not a rare thing. the 2 best examples are the lightning buttslam hitting you after the lightning has died out and gaping dragon hitting you with the dash while he’s completely still

>>128765006
It's not bullshit hitboxes that I cringe at. It's the large pile of humanoid enemies with unbelievable poise and health along with ZERO fucking respect for stamina rules

Anyone who's farmed CREOs from mobs a little will know what I'm talking about

Most phantoms and humanoid bosses like the ganksquad also operate on an unreal level with their mechanics which just infuriates me

>>128765146
Considering that DaS3 has been confirmed to have SL matchmaking, and that they're currently not planning on doing any more games set in that universe, I highly doubt that it will ever make a comeback.

>>128765324
are you a different anon from whom i answered to? because what you say is completely different from that post. besides, infinite stamina enemies exist in both game and ds2 has infinite creo farming with no killing

>>128765285
>pic
Don't get this wrong, I fucking love the series and all the games, but when will FROM fix the bullshit with rolling and it being actually just short range teleports with fancy animations and i-frames? What the fuck, it's been years.
Seriously, in one way or the other you can encounter that in ALL their games, and while most of the times it's hardly noticeable (with the exception of early game DaS2 since you get fuck all in terms of i-frames) this is almost Bethesda levels of lazyness. Is it really that hard to code a dynamic hitbox that actually follows the charracter?

Best place to farm Twinkling Titanite is to ascend the Sanctum Walk bonfire right?

>>128765285

That means they don't count..

>>128765324
>Anyone who's farmed CREOs from mobs a little will know what I'm talking about

I don't get this. I farm CREOs from the executioners in Huntsman's Copse (on the way to Chariot) and they get poise broken in one rapier hit, usually

>>128765671
But you're talking about literally single frame difference. Take the snapback backstabs for example, they're frustrating but I can understand why that happens when I'm playing over the internet and the input difference between my roll and his R1 is minute

>>128762943
I keep seeing those texts in peoples screenshots what are they?

>>128765925
They have no poise, only thing that makes them dangerous is they hit like a truck.

>>128766028
Watchdog, I assume? Honestly I never bothered to use it.

>>128766189
That's what I thought, but the guy I replied to was talking about infinite stamina and unbelievable poise, and anyone who farms CREOs would know. Those dudes are the best mobs to farm CREOs, so I don't really get it.

>>128765524
Yes I'm a different one. I'm just highlighting my main personal peeve with DaS2. It's not the creo farming or anything.

There's tons of 2nd-half DaS1 examples of bad hitboxes, I'm kinda used to that

>>128765925
The main issue with torturers is that they have infinite stamina and can use that 3-chain repeatedly, immediately after the first one which defies what you've learnt up to that point.

As a new player back in the day when they mobbed you on the path to the chariot it was just mindblowing. They hit really fucking hard on low-levels and they have no recovery at all for their attack cycles.

None of that is intuitive. None of that also teaches you anything worthwhile unlike many great areas like heide's or the amazing first-half of DaS1 which I'm sure everyone remembers by muscle memory.

>>128766028
pvp watchdog
it's good to avoid a good amount of cheaters and add something to the poor connectivity

>>128766858
Their 3 chain is punishable. They can repeat it over and over, but 3rd attack has enough recovery for you to attack.

Any tips on using weapons like Key of The Embedded?

Not easily in a mob, and not when you die in 2 hits. Your +4 fire longsword can't punish that effectively either. I'm pretty sure in a blind-run that encounter would stump even DaS1 plat players the first few times around, I sure was.

And bear in mind none of us had the know-how back then to just babbymode estoc/great club it.

It's just not quality design at the end of the day.

When should I be worried about lost souls screwing my SM tier?

what's the drop rate of CREO's on executioners in CoC and serpent ring +2?

Wear the Old Leo ring and poise up. Key to the Embedded is a great weapon, cool moveset and people don't know how to play against it.

>>128769737
>Old Leo ring
What's the reason behind this? I thought it's only thrusting attacks were the first 1hr2 and the rolling attack.
Seems kinda not worth it for an entire ring slot.

>>128769957
Realize that the KttE has the highest Counter damage of any greatsword. The Leo Ring boosts counter attacks with thrust weapons by another ~20% or so, so if you have 40 Dex to take advantage of the great scaling of the weapon and hit a counter attack on a 1hr2 while wearing the ring, you'll inflict some serious pain.

>>128769535
Dunno about wars but in most battles whoever strikes first wins. Not always, but usually that's the case. There is no instant roll/block button IRL and it is possible to attack without a long-ass windup, so most of the times when you see an attack coming your way it's already too late.

>>128770250
Oh, right, makes sense.
How much pain are we talking here, though?

>>128770445
Like a lot of pain. It's my favourite dex weapon in the game next to the Fume Sword honestly.

>>128769957
It's definitely worth it, you can be very aggresive when your setup is based on counter damage which works wonders against the 150 reactive katana meta, and you aren't going to get punished like you would with STR weapons.

Don't misunderstand, that's all well and good because I'm an invader. But don't be surprised when I act like a colossal faggot in the fight as a result

Bonfire Ascetics or joining the Covenant of the Champions.

>>128775654
Okay then, so I can at least probably get the helmet this run. Now that you mention it, I recall being told to use Ascetics on certain bosses to get +2 rings; is there a limited supply of Ascetics in the game?

>>128775972
>or unpetrify the guy at Aldia that drops 2 ascetics and respawns after an ascetic.

I'm not even gonna pull the whole one souls game is harder than the other thing. I simply believe the game is easier the more familiar you are with it. I find DaS1 easier only in that I can be carried through that, and DeS entirely by muscle memory but after a year away from DaS2 (and coming into Scholar rather than vanilla) I'm less familiar with it so it's more "challenging"
The bosses are all the same as ever, of course, so strafe dancing still entertains me

Japanese controls seem to do that a lot, while the western release usually use what we're used to.

Monster Hunter P3rd is another case of this, just to name an example

Nope, go fight one again, if he does his long windup attack his sword starts pointing at the ground and he slowly rises it to head level at which point he lunges

Even if you don't notice that shit after falling for it once you should probably back off, its an attack that telegraphed more than covetus demons attacks.

They made the pose around this kind of sword
All the others suffered because of that

That actually happened to me last night when I was helping a guy out with them. Random damage when fatty was on the other side of the room i assume it was because I got caught in the hammer rush before the cutscene

I'd rather have armors that weren't entirely accurate than no armors at all.

Especially since they could've easily had Ornstein's plume work with the new cloth physics in DS2

>what could go wrong
Yeah, fuck that guy. He goes for the teen market i think, or at least. And fuck everytime someone uses a spell he "bitches" about it to be dramatic.

You should see what happens when you get hit by Bradley.

I hope DaS3 has some sort of brigandine armor, I'm just now realizing how perfect it is for a "medium" armor

Oh he's that guy with the obnoxious binding of isaac thumbnails and titles in all caps?

this is like the only sword of the game that is that big, there must be 2 or 3 that are this big only, and even that sword is not in a proper way, unless its made of paper, you cant hold it that way unless you are hulk. pic related is the correct position for a giant weapon

He can literally zwei-r2 you out of a backstab animation.

Yeah it's always fun when you invade someone and the host, phantom and Glencour are all swinging Greatswords.

Is it just me or when you're a phantom helping in DaS2, your estus heals waaaaaaay slower than normal?
