they're basically a physical manifestation of a soul. why or how who knows, but if you believe a goal of his research was to recreate the "undead" immortality of the dark soul, ensuring that the processes of the dark soul (such as pilgrim butterflies) is even possible with his normal soul would be important.

Yeah, I just forgot to mention it.

It only had E/C scaling and I think an 11/11 fai/int requirement, but the magic parameters had no scaling at all so it's definitely a melee weapon with free bonus dark damage

Just because someone is bad at video games doesn't mean they're only pretending to like them.

There are very few real differences between men and women. If forced to give one at gunpoint, I'd probably say the difference is that men are easier to satisfy. So long as you give a guy whatever that one thing is he likes, he'll put up with whatever else.

So if anything, blame yourself for being such a cheap slut.

>>168064349
Do you have a specific one in mind? If you mean Twitch streamer gamer chicks then they do it because they know lonely spergs are lining up to give them donations.

I tuned in to watch some random chick streaming Souls with the facecam on and the chat was full of sad spergs trying to shower them in compliments for 'not being like those other fake gamur girls' for playing souls in an obvious attempt to get in her pants.

Which was funny because it was obvious the streamer had a boyfriend and she and the bf probably laugh at the sad fucks while counting the cash they get.

Girls often like a lot of the same games guys do but are less visible in internet communities because of GOTIS. I know a few girls who are into Souls but they're cripplingly autistic and generally speaking the female equivalent of male otakus.

I think girls and women genuinely like Soulsborne for the same reasons as men playing the games do, but also because the series has equal amounts of waifus and top tier husbandos.

Also you can play dress up.

Would poise work good if it functioned basically the same as it did in DaS1 but your poise is determined purely through armor equip load rather than a value on each piece?

That way it would sort of quell min/maxing and hopefully encourage really heavy load builds.

He's full of shit. Demon's Souls great attacks could be interrupted, it just took tremendously big hits to do it. Normally only bosses could pull it off, but greataxes could manage it sometimes.

DS3 has Super Armor which means that you can stagger people out of it if your attack does enough poise damage, while DeS has "you will not fucking get staggered"-hyperarmor for some attacks , hence the "genuine" hyperarmor.

I could tell when you last played by your reaction to poise.

Greatswords are good now, pyromancy is good now, greatswords being good indirectly helps INT builds but sorcery is still kinda shit, hexes are still and always will be shit, miracles got significant boosts and are actually usable now but still have no weapons and no spell damage, refined technically got a nerf but it was largely inconsequential, the DLC made STR builds viable with Millwood shit and DEX builds viable with Crow shit, Friede's Great Scythe is at once overrated and underrated, Rose of Ariandel is better than you'd think but still kinda bad, Carthus Curved Sword is still annoyingly strong, and straight sword spam is still easymode for noobs.

Bloodborne has absolutely delicious dialogue, I don't know if it's the writing, the context or the overall way the scenes are set up and the lines delivered but it's incredibly impactful and makes you feel like you're a part of something truly epic.

The only thing even close to rivalling BB's magical moments was first time Maiden Astraea in DeS when you walk out and see the worshipping wretched non-hostile goblins and as you walk out, the music hits and Garl Vinland starts reciting his lines at you. I think DeS is overrated as hell, but the way the Maiden Astraea scene is set up is one of my all-time favorites.

I'd say I actually like playing "with" Dark Souls more than I like playing it at this point, but what endeared the series to me was the atmosphere, characters, and lore. I also liked how the series seems to have some respect for the player that a lot of modern games don't. It doesn't need to give you hints or remind you that you can lower the difficulty at any time from the options menu every time you die, or explain away every little thing.

Yeah, untransformed just has the mailbreaker moveset normally with some innate magic damage

the WA turns it into a high-damage short-sword with a chained combo for the R1 and pressing R2 once it's transformed casts whatever spell you have by thrusting the sword kinda like the MLGS weapon art.

it's pretty shit outside of the wombo combo. although it does have a really high 140 crit mod and regenerates FP passively like simple

Image was poise before the 1.08 patch. Same rules apply, but all the attack modifiers are negative now except for weapon arts, meaning your poise health meter drops to about 20-30 when attacking. Some weapon arts boost it to as much as 200.

Refer to this overlong pastebin for breakpoints. There's really no way to make the math simple, I'm afraid.

If your shit requires a shitty internet connection and only beats shitty players, it's really shit.

Listen to me you stupid fucking nigger.

I already play faith builds. I know how they work, I know what they work against, and I know what they don't work against. I use the shit you use, I use the shit you're afraid to use because it's even worse than other miracles, and I use shit you don't even realize works.

Miracle builds are literally inferior to all other builds. I use them for the challenge. The only thing they're good against is stupid idiots who walk into your spells or attack your hyperarmor. Dumb faggots like that aren't worth bragging over, because anyone can kill them with anything. The only people worth fighting are the ones who can actually beat you. NOT the useless faggots in your webms.

Does that make sense to you? Is this a thing you can understand? You are unironically playing the worst build in the game and acting like killing a few dumb jackasses changes anything.

Rose buffed miracles are okay. Fun people might even let you use the rose buff without rushing you down and killing you because for some reason that shit has poise. Sure, you can roll out after the first self-slap, but you might not even get that much time.

Fun fact: Rose has the best spellbuff at 40fth, but saint's talisman still outdamages it when casting physical miracles. Which is only useful if you're trying to spam 250 damage coronas, but whatever.

Of course the bigger enemies are gonna be hard. But in ds1 the placement even made hollows hard to deal with.

Unless I missed something, no new faith spells in the first section. Great Soul Dregs requires 40int, Flame Fan uses 15int 15fai.

The warbanner is really disappointing, though I don't know what I expected. Every attack is your standard spear thrust. L2 is the AOE buff.

>>168071850
>What's the positioning like with enemy mobs you've seen so far? Lots of 1 on 1 type of fights or dealing with groups?
You know those crawling murkmen? There are stretches where you can fight them for what seems like forever - they never stop respawning (this is actually quite clever, as they infinitely respawn in a tight room with an illusory wall, so you'll hit it eventually).

Apart from those, you'll be doing 1v1's with the Harald Knights, 1v2's against the Lothric Thieves and Lothric Knights, and 1v10 of those crawling poison bugs.

>>168071869
>Did you try out and/or see the stats for the Murky Hand Scythe? If so which moveset does it have for basic attacks and what is its scaling?
So the Murky Hand Scythe appears to have a dagger moveset, making it one of the larger weapons I know of with that moveset. Did any other hand scythes have this? Sorry, I can't tell you its scaling.

>Did you remember the spell buff of Demon's Scar? Also the range/base damage/scaling if you could try it out or see it?
The spell buff? If you mean casting - no, I couldn't try that because I would have to run through and unlock Cornyx to get my first pyromancy spell. No time. The sword itself is about the same length as the Falchion.

I think a big problem with DS3 enemies is they have such a hard time running down the player or do too much walking around.

Even fucking Pontiff Knights will randomly disengage and start walking backwards away from you with their shield up. Why the fuck do so many enemies do this? All knight type enemies should just run you to the fucking ground and be relentless.

The dialogue and item descriptions are all out there, though it's definitely possible something was missed considering there was at least one Illusory wall. Also, no one probably tried to kill Lapp.

Right, but what I'm saying is you can run past less shit in the older games and fights have a lot more tension to them. The only things you absolutely have to fight in ds3 are bosses. If there weren't fogwalls I could run through the whole game in 20 minutes or less.


>AoA the tree roots and the cliffside with Millwood knights.
But there's nothing in your way. The knight don't even shoot the arrows at you, they shoot at the roots. Then you have a fucking hours to move before they explode. I had no trouble at all getting down the first time. I didn't even have to bother with the lizard because it just falls off.

>>168072613

You can run past pretty much everything in DS1 and DeS. A lot of the horseshit in DS2 like the player not having iframes while going through fog walls and the corridor with 15 Syan knights plus the Imperious knight shitcame about from retards like you playing the game in the most lame and unfun way possible and then complaining that it's the game's fault. You can play games like MGS3 by using a staggering amount of the game's possible ways of getting past encounters or you can just be a lame-ass and headshot everyone with the tranq gun and complaint how it's making it all 'too easy and they should just remove first person'.

Yes, you can run past a lot of shit if you know what you're doing but if you fuck up then you probably are getting creamed by the blob of mobs on your ass.

If you're playing SotFS, you can buy the Chaos Rapier from Felkin right away. Either infuse it and buff it with Flame Weapon, or leave it uninfused and use charcoal pine resin if you don't have Flame Weapon. It can parry with L2 if you two-hand it.

>It can parry with L2 if you two-hand it
Actually, I might be remembering wrong. I think it might've parried with R2 even while one-handed in the right hand. Really useful for magic builds since you don't have to give up parrying for your catalyst.

>>168077545
I'm not too bothered about the weapon, most anything I can just throw lightning blade on, just wondering what kind of statline I should be going for

>>168077723
If you're using either of those two greatswords (which you probably should since they don't need dexterity for their damage), you'll want 27str two-handed and 13 dex.

Or if you're using a raw Drakeblood (probably the better choice) you'll want minimum str/dex to use it and then you put everything else into fth, vig, end, and vit.

Little known fact, you can skip the jump by using the L2R2 before you start the R1 chain. It's also something you don't spam and don't try using until you see an opening for it, since you're basically committed as soon as you start the chain. And never do more than two R1s, since opponents can still roll out of the second.

The normal two handed R1s are also good, don't underestimate them.

Name pulled from whatever song I think best suits the character. Not necessarily the title, could be something mentioned in the song itself.

I could run past that shit too. So wasting my time = unfun? Why would I stand around hitting on something that I could easily run past? If I don't need its drops or its souls there's no point.
>You can play games like MGS3 by using a staggering amount of the game's possible ways of getting past encounters or you can just be a lame-ass and headshot everyone with the tranq gun and complaint how it's making it all 'too easy and they should just remove first person'.
That's a different game though. In ds1 it was only an option to run some of the time.

>>168081742
Maybe some storm pyro for zoning? Or similarly, Gravelord Greatsword Dance is closer to your colours. What I would suggest would be getting lighter gauntlets (maybe paladin) and switching that heavy as shit fist for a medium shield or even nothing. That should free up enough end to get some fai. I've also made a sentinel type character but int instead. Iron golem helm, steel armor, goughs gauntlets, iron golem boots, MLGS/MLBH/SKShield/TCC with HSCM and CCS, been thinking of ditching sorcery and replacing SKS with CRS. The idea was to punish estus but at that point I had to go too high, in "serious" meta levels were estusing isn't an issue

I usually have a list of names I use for specific archetypes in all games I play, but the character limit surely dosn't make it easy.

I wanted to make a heavily armored knight and name him Garland of Corneria, but the game doesn't allow for that even though it allows its own NPC invaders to have longer names.

>wanna get wog as soon as you can in ds3
Just run past everything, kill vordt, run past everything, kill the sage, run past everything, kill the deacons, run past everything, kill the watchers, run past everything, kill skeleton, run to the propane capital, pick up wog.

>wanna get wog as soon as you can in ds1
Run to the catacombs, kill the necro guarding the bonfire, drop down to the bottom without dying to the wheels, kill pinwheel, get part way through the tomb of gaints (I think there are a few encounters down there that can't be skip). Now at this point you can either:

do everything I just said and stop at the bonfire in the tomb of the giants so if you die at this point you don't have to go all the way back to the catacombs, or you can not rest and hope to god you don't die to vince and nico, talk to bitch, and homeward bone out.

BUT if you pick the first option you have to walk all the way through the tomb of giant and the catacombs backwards through all of the wheels and everything.

tl;dr

Trying to get stuff in ds1 is a journey, trying to get stuff in ds3 is tedious.

And also ds2 is shit.
>>
>>168084976

bloodborne has shown that they can change things around for the title.

that's basically ds1 too, the difference is you're pretending you enjoy the chore of getting a specific item.

>>168085169
You could fight ancient Indian diety spirits, or mechanized robots where you have to target weak points before being able to deal damage to it (think Tower Knight, only more complex).

But you are right, it would be harder to come up with something for a western motif, at least without going full Bloodborne. Not sure that, creatively, Miyazaki or Tanimura would be able to pull it off without bringing in major help from the outside.

So guys, one of my best friends is trying to play DS3 at my recommendation, but he can't git gud enough to beat the fucking tutorial boss, and he's about to rage quit. I moved across the country a few years ago so I can't go over to his place and help him, and I'm on PS4 and he's on Xbone so I can't connect to watch him. What the fuck do I tell this faggot to help the game and the controls make sense to him?
>>
>>168085942
You have it backwards, Bloodborne is the best game in the series because it has the highest quality production values and polish. That isn't debatable even if you think another game is more fun.
>>
>>168086130

Tell him to start as Knight. If he's really desperate tell him to choose Black Firebombs as a starting gift and use those on Gundyr, if he can't work with that he's hopeless.

tell him he's shit at videogames and maybe watching tv is more his thing.

Tell him to refund. He won't enjoy PvE, and nobody even enjoys the PvP.

>>168086130
Maybe start him on the first game instead? It's quite a bit more forgiving in terms of the tutorial area. And as I recall, didn't they recently re-release it on the X-bone?
>>
>>168086130
Start over and choose black fire bombs. Assuming he can get until the second phase of the fight, if he can't reach that far, maybe this game is not suited for his tastes.
>>
>>168086054
what is nostalgia for 300 souls

So are there really people that sperg out when you kill NPCs?

>>168086206
I already told him to go knight, but I didn't think about the firebombs. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to be sad if he gives up this early. He's probably just being a tard and trying to tank that shit instead of being smart, but I can't see.
>>
>>168086130
If he's too shit to beat the tutorial boss and you're on different systems he's not going to be able to kill any other bosses or get through the solo areas on his own or with help, anon. Tell him to return the game if he still can.

That's because you're not as good in DaS 1 as in DaS 3.
Mindlessly rushing for early items then using a bone is something you easily do in all games. The wheels and skellies have very easy ways to be avoided, as do the bigger slow skeletons and Rhea's guards can be chainstabbed.

After you play the game enough you can do that without feeling any tension because you know you're too unlikely to actually fail
>>
>>168086383
Its not nostalgia. I swear if we did a test with a big sample size more players would die during the run down the catacombs then they would in ds3. And even if that's wrong dying in ds3 isn't as much of a punishment.

this is so dumb. Speedruns for both games are virtually similar in length with DS1 being around 15 minutes longer (this should even out with DS3's next DLC) The only things that makes DS1 feel more tense is the worse controls you have regarding your character's movement.

I really wish Priscilla was way, way harder. The masochism level of the Painted World isn't high enough. If you skip the easy way out and settle down to fight the boss, you ain't leaving for a while fuckboy.

Part of that, admittedly, is that most people go there when they're grossly overlevelled and overgeared.

yes, and it comes down to shitty movement. DS1 only allows you to dodge in 4 directions when locked on for instance. The clunkiness is what makes this "tension."

Nashandra just felt like a less climatic and interesting version of Gwynevere, unlike Vendrick who I actually feel looks like a proper mythical king should, almost on the same level as Gwyn. Her sisters were far more interesting.

In addition more people speedrun ds1 because it's "THE" souls game. Just like how Ocarina of Time is more run than other zelda's. So more people are going to fuck up their runs. For DS3 it's like 1 guy getting record after record so he makes it seem easy.

Use any straight or curved sword, and equip a Pontiff eye and stable shield at least 49. roll in the middle of the attack and avoid his fumes, when he goes full REEEEEE buff with Carthus rouge. and roll straight and avoid his tail, eventually he will bleed and lose a good chunk of health.

There's an automatic 20 Adaptability tax on all characters, and it's the first game where Endurance and Vitality were split into separate stats.

The generally agreed-upon SL "meta" was around 150 I believe.

its because of the frequency of my casts. it's why i was having so much trouble with a boss i've defeated over 100 times

This is probably a very old and tired question but can anyone give parrying tips for DS3? I finally figured it out in Bloodborne after what seemed like forever, but gun =/= shield.
>>
>>168090906
Crimson Bat is already self explanatory.
Soul Snake could be a giant mass of Humanity coalesced in the shape of a serpent. Like an ethereal Jormungandr.
I'll bet that the Ruined Capital King is the old "heroic king possessed by an evil force" that Sulyvahn was originally supposed to be.
Mother Dragon can't be an actual, real dragon. Everlasting Dragons are made of stone and they surely don't breed like normal animals.

>>
>>168092229
After you perform the parry, the frames afterward are the active frame, that will parry any incoming hit. So you don't time it as you're hit, you time it before. It's best to practice with a parrying dagger, I find, to under stand how the mechanic works, and then practice with a medium shield to understand how the timing works.

>>
>>168092826

Gwyn's Youngest daughter who he abandoned in the ringed city

it is most likely this one considering there is literally no other reason to create this character

she is probably also the queen of lothric, making her technically the mother of a dragon
>>
>>168092941
Would that make her a new character then? Because Gwynevere isn't Gwyn's youngest daughter.
>>
>>168091569
the fire? idk

he's probably just autistic
>>
>>168093081

she is so new that technically we shouldnt even know about her yet. we only know because vaati wrote down item descriptions from the press event
>>
>>168092826
Literally the only reason I couldn't accept the idea of that being Velka is because of the white dress.
Velka should wear all black, like her pardoners.

How did you get to it?
>>
>>168093394

velka also cant be the daughter of gwyn because she doesnt follow naming conventions

I've been running around in the fattest armor and the biggest stick possible on a STR build with fat rolls for fun and I have to say, the fat roll isn't nearly as shitty as it seems.
>>
>>168094926
I have 15. all I need.
25 was my highest of any character
>>
>>168094778
Interesting, it doesn't look like you can get enough air to do a plunge attack here but I guess any attack to the top of his snout initiates the kill animation?
>>
is HERETIC KNIGHT also heretic vyrial or are they different people?
>>
>>168095075
well, it's more obvious when they're wearing default knight armor and not some memey shit like Smough's

I started as Knight so I have 15. Do people not generally use very heavy armor in DS3?

Yeah it does kind of look that way, sadly.

Did you feel like the points to get it to 25 were well spent, or a waste?

So we know Gwyndolin's legs end in snakes. At what point do the snakes start though?
>>
>>168095256
It's scripted to die with a single plunge attack, so using a ledge to do a plunge attack also works even if you're not doing it from where you're supposed to

its all an a illusion breh.
they're not real. Gwyndolin has sexy trap legs

It does if you don't meet the 1H STR requirement.

The Lake is an optional site with most of the treasure there geared towards pyromancers. If that's your thing, you should probably go there first before continuing on your way
>>
>>168096227
I don't know man, maybe he needs to rest his snakes. Or however having a lower body consisting of multiple reptiles works
>>
>>168096214
>>168096267
My mistake. Why does using the word champ make me a pompous douchebag?
>>
Raising faith DOES increase the effectiveness of healing miracles, right? I would take this for granted in most games but Dark Souls stats can be weird.
>>
>>168096198
Smouldering Lake is an optional area and dead-end, but has a lot of goodies. The bridge leads to the easiest boss in the game.

You won't lose anything by killing the boss and then doubling back to the lake. Smouldering Lake is a relatively hard place compared to Carthus, but it is worth it.

Nah, that was my friend, we were dueling BO9.

because you have poor attention to detail and it make you look like a douchebag because in actuality you have no idea what you were talking about
>>
>>168096526
Then it's not really urgent for you to go there, but the boss of the area is cool.
>>
>>168096514
Not for Heal Over Time miracles.

At 180 spellbuff in Dark Souls 3, Great Heal will recover exactly 1k HP.

I do not know how MagAdjust works in DaS1, or how miracles calculate healing in DaS2.

>>
>>168096643
Oh shit yeah I forgot to specify, I'm talking about DS3. So it doesn't help heal over time, but for just a straight up heal, it should?

>haha it doesnt even matter that i was wrong, you're still an XYZ

holy shit bloodlust yourself

>>168096703
It will increase direct heal amount yes, but only Spell Buff from your catalysts are factored into this calculation

>>168096729
If you chill out for a second and finish the level, there's a trio of gold fatties on top of the archives you can grind to get 140k souls back in 10 minutes

>>168096679

it's pretty obvious
>>
>>168096791
>Spell Buff
I'm not sure I understand how the catalysts work, honestly. Mind breaking it down? I beat DS1 using a little bit of pyromancy but so far in DS3 I'm using miracles for healing way more often than I ever used pyro.
>>
>>168096791
I'm mostly just mad at myself. I was sprinting through and not being careful.

I'm looking more closely now. The Talisman I started with has 100 spell buff, and I have three more (I don't meet the FTH requirement for any of the three yet) all of which have spell buff of 60. Are those other higher Faith catalysts not better?

Catalysts are what we use in dark souls to cast magic.

In Dark Souls 3, generally, miracles use chimes and talismans, pryomancers use pyromancy flames, and sorceries use staves.

There are special catalysts that use combinations of intelligence and faith to calculate spell buff for things besides what i'm explaining here, but for the time being, just understand that intelligence will generally make your sorceries more powerful, faith will make your miracles more powerful, and keeping both intelligence and faith even will make your pyromancies more powerful.

Faith and Intelligence softcap individually at 60, whereas together, they cap at 40.

Upgrading your catalysts increases the rate at which they gain spellbuff from your stats, so make sure you upgrade them. Most spells calculate their effects based off of a percentage of damage dealt. For example, Crystal Soul Spear deals 550% of your catalyst's spell buff in damage, this is the spell AR (sAR), and is the listed damage before defenses

>>168096897

I'm still laughing at that whiny faggot, shit was hilarious.

friendly reminder that the ringed city knights wear dragon armour because dark serpents, not just primordial but in the vein of pus of man, are imperfect dragons, and ergo they basically are/revere dragons.

If you're going to shave levels like that I'd recommend you integrate a wog and/or SLS to your build. A great aesthetic addition to your build would be tumblebuffing slb on the glgs. It's kinda cheating but fuck from for making a sword that appears ablaze in game unbuffable.
Oh, and VoS is purple. You're going gold with hues of yellowish brown
