So I know Dark Souls 2 got derailed badly halfway through development, since From didn't like what then-director Shibuya was doing with it. Shibuya was taken off the project and was replaced with Tanimura, who had to scrap together whatever he could from whatever assets they had on hand in order to finish the game.

What exactly were the original plans for DS2? I've seen bits and pieces of concept art (Iron Keep, Majula, Emerald Herald), some level designs that people dug up from files (Things Betwixt, Gutter, Earthen Peak connected to Undead Crypt, and Drangleic Castle being connected to Shaded Woods). What was it about DS2's original designs and plans that made From kick it's director from the game?

It had less to do with the design itself and more that all the development up to that point had been half-assed and mismanaged, with resources going towards Bloodborne development instead.

Builds would be more diverse if players didnt force the meta level to be high as SL120

At SL120 theres no point in not going full 40/40 all times and sticking a refined gem in your weapon. If it were SL60-80 the builds would be more dependant on Sharp/Heavy gems with a more conservative approach on putting lots of points in STR/DEX.
>>
>>168722348
What's stopping you from just doing PVP at a lower SL? It's not like the game is dead yet, you can find people at all ranges until you go way above 120 at least.

At SL100 there's no point in not going full 40/40 and sticking a refined gem in your weapon

At SL60 there's no point in not going full 25/25 and sticking a refined gem in your weapon

The game is inherently flawed in the way it handles infusions and even at as low as 15/15 refined is better

>>
>>168723679

I don't think that's the issue and is my gripe whenever qualms with Refined come up. It makes perfect sense that investing in two damage stats gives more damage to melee than investing in just one. There should be an incentive to make specialized STR or DEX builds by giving options that scale better with those individually as you said but they shouldn't be that simple or it risks just creating asinine power creep. Look at the Millwood Battle Axe and Crow Quills from DLC1 for example; the Axe is a straight upgrade in raw damage to every other Axe class weapon in the game while only requiring a single stat and an arguably better version of War Cry. Same with the Quills for thrusting swords. This is terrible balance and just makes even more obsolete weapons than there already are. And in practical terms the builds aren't that different from a standard quality build, including 39 Vig and 40 END. It's just you can reach those soft-caps earlier with a pure stat build while Quality gets both damage stats at 120.

To me personally the problem with melee imbalance is Vigor and Vitality. With Life Ring+3 and Ring of Favor+2 the difference in health between 39 Vigor and 50 is only 150~, that's only one more hit of in combat at best for most weapons. Meanwhile Vitality has garbage returns making wearing poise-heavy armor a chore for anything save certain low-weight/single-stat weapons. If these stats were buffed it would directly benefit pure STR/DEX builds who would have more of a noticeable difference towards Quality ones instead of just having access to weapons that just work better on them.

The NPC is "Livid Pyromancer Dunnel" He invades you at Pricilla's arena:
http://darksouls3.wikidot.com/livid-pyromancer-dunnel
His item describes things:
http://darksouls3.wikidot.com/equipmentgroup:pyromancer-s-parting-flame

>>168730307
He meant a game taking place when it was fading the first time, before Gwyn linked it.

>>168730450
It's important to mention that the word used to describe his wife is the same used for priscilla, in japanese.

No, sorcery and miracles suck. If you want to play a caster go with pyromancy because it's actually fun and will probably get even better with the next DLC.

Guys what's a fun build? Already made a pyro and sorceries aren't fun.
>>
>>168734131

>Is it fun being a hexer in DS3?

No, because there are barely any actual 'hexes' in 3 let alone offensive ones, and in practice you're just playing a pyromancer build with worse offensive options. It's far more practical to just do the best pyromancies or use Crystal Chime with offensive sorceries and healing miracles.

there's something that i can do? dark souls 1 at 50 fps felt smooth but ds3 at 30 fps feels shit, laggy and full of stutters.

i tried to lock the game at 30fps using radeon relive, and enabling vsync, but both options doesn't have any affect on ds3.

Partly challenge, partly random fun, partly to abuse mobs.

There's no such thing as a "friendly" purple, their entire goal in invading or being summoned is to fucking kill other players. It's just up to the individual purple whether they kill the host, the host's buttbuddies, or other invaders that are also trying to kill the host.

the ones that allow you to reach poise breakpoints for specific weapon class
>>
>>168740180
poise in ds3 works differently than in previous games

you always have some "poise health" during hyperarmor and poise is just a % resistance to poise damage

so even a character with 0 poise equipped has to take 150 poise damage to get knocked out of a UGS swing

but if you equip 50 poise you'll take half as much poise damage and so your opponent will need 300 poise damage instead to interrupt you

basically you can trade with light weapons even at 0poise but if you want to trade with other greatweapons you need tons of it -- you need something like 63 to poise through a greathammer 2hr1 with a UGS

>>168740456
i think their intention was your not supposed to trade with ultra weapons period but they didnt strike a balance for medium weight weapons like greatswords or halberds

thats why before the poise change you either saw shitters winning with the slowest weapon or tryhards winning with the fastest, mind you i never felt greatswords needed a poise buff, just an attack speed buff to bring them closer to light weapons, there was always just enough hyper armor to trade with light weapons anyway

Why does this dragonworshipper look like a darkwraith?
>>
>>168741195

random number. pygmy is just a term for short people, and has nothing to do with souls. In dark souls 1 souls and race were a bit more connected, however the difference between a pygmy, a normal, and a "giant", was generally about a few feet. Gwyn himself was barely taller than the player, because that game had an overarching message about false divinity and grandeur and the fear of one's own mortality.

in dark souls 2 and 3 they retconned it all for rule of cool and now important humans are taller than the player, "normal" are the size of smough who was a giant in the original game, including fucking gwyndolin for some reason, and they made most giants anywhere from 20-1000 feet tall.

OG pygmies fought with dragons and took their scales as spoils of war or something, I don't fucking know, I'm not Memehacky

that's not contrary to what I said, I literally say pygmy is a term for short people in my second sentence, and though I didn't clarify, the connections between soul and race in dark souls 1 were tied to progenation and not a direct link between race and soul (which is a statement that is being backed up by the DLC2)

The meat of my post is complaining about how they're retconning the heights set from the original game to make it more fanciful.
>>
n dark souls 3 on PC if using a mouse, is there a thing you have to turn on and off again like you did in dark souls 2?
>>
>>168742426
no
all the new patch changed is that your poise hp refills to 80% of max if it's lower than that when hyperarmor frames begin

before the patch it only refilled after you got poisebroken, so you could poise-trade one attack but then get poisebroken the next one

now, if you have enough poise to tank through something once while at 80% poise heatlh, you can tank it forever instead of getting staggered every second time

>>168742725
Pygmy could also be used in the sense that because they split the Dark Soul into so many fragments that they were "small souls" compared to the great Lord Souls.

Of the pygmies there was the furtive one, who took the Dark Soul and hid it away out of fear of being discovered so it implies there was some negative associations with the Dark Soul at the start but not forever considering Gwyn gifted them the Ringed City.

all of the covenants from dark souls 1 (Dark wraiths, dragon covenant, way of white, etc) have their roots within 1-2 religious groups that were founded within Londo.

In particular, some humans have a general fascination with dragons and turning into them. Influential members of this original group abandoned/betrayed it at some point, becoming corrupt/imperfect dragons (frampt and kaathe among others) and founding their own branch based not around dragons, but around humanity. This eventually formed into the dark wraiths.

almost everyone else plays souls games with a controller on PC because the MKB controls are so terrible
>>
>>168746484
Since yur build is going for 123, throw 4 more levels and make something like this
https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/146996
You even get a free ring slot since your cast speed is so high.
>>
>>168746983
So maybe shave 10 points combined from vigor and end and put them into dex? Then I could have sharp weapons that are supplemented with cbv and maybe carthus flame arc?

Are Carthus Beacon and Carthus Flame Arc good spells?

wired 360 controller.

A me problem, when my controller works on other games sounds far fetched. Shadow warrior is from '13 and Softs is '15. So you might want to reconsider your position.

>>168745434
People hating ds2 are memesters. It's a good game, it just doesn't hold up as well in some aspects compared to other souls. Fashion was one of its strong points. In ds3 you got this plate armor with a few rags or the other plate armor with a few rags, this robe or that robe. Disregarding the story, since it doesn't actually affect gameplay, with a few tweaks on the sm system, return of the prealpha lighting engine and ability to combo animations of r1-r2 instead of canceling them, it would be as good as 1, maybe somewhat better
>>
>>168747496
DS3's ui is the best in series, kinda
>can change to compact mode to minimize the screen obstruction
>probably the best layout of the equip screen in series, extremely easy to quick swap weapons and rings
>no ugly ass bars around hp and stamina indicators like in ds2
It also has a cool things like holding up and down buttons cycling item and spell bars back to the first items.
>>
>>168747658
The softcap is actually 45, but unlike in DaS 1 where dex only starts giving effects at high amounts, in 3 every dex level counts. You should try with and without sage to see if the small speed loss bothers you or not, if it does, lower dex further and get sage and put those points into int and fth
>>
>>168747592
Well then I would have let my mind win and we can't have that can we

Are these dead dragons flying over Lothric?
>>
>>168747641
No. Beacon is worthless and people only use flame arc as a free reusable resin. If you're gonna be a pyro infuse your weapon with dark and keep something infused with chaos for pve since nearly everything in pve is weak to fire.

I have multiple wired 360 controllers that work fine with Dark Souls 3. Problem definitely seems to be on your end. Have you chevked the inputs on your pc? There's a known glitch where a wored 360 controller will have like 4 inputs which can mess things up since you only need 1.

Wow, so all those articles of people not having the game work, even after you disable HID in the device manager arent actually people?

holy fuck, you roll roll attack kiddies sure are fucking stupid. So basically From Software cant handle a basic fucking 360 wired controller and the defense force is in full swing. Awesome. Thanks kids, Ill just stick with games that dont need me to rewrite the code to get them to work, like the lame knock off Lords of the Fallen that actually fucking works with that same controller.

On the topic of pyros, are you ready for the Demons Scar curved sword coming in TRC? A curved sword tjat can cast pyros...if onyx blade is indicative of anything, it'll have something like C/C/C scaling for Dex/Int/Faith.

quality is the most damaging but the highest stat-investment build
the meme level is 120 so everyone has more levels than they know what to do with and so everyone goes for quality

by the time of TRC though it seems to have re-formed, though, as the Deep is leaking into the surface, and the Deep is just a huge pile of disembodied, non-wild humanity/Dark Soul. The Dark Soul has been quietly coalescing as the age of fire waned, and now that the Dark is onset it reveals itself

>>168753158
Surprisingly, a couple anons have managed to come up with a fairly believable reason for why a whole Dark Soul could ever be conceivable again [and how Gael could somehow "acquire it" for the Painter, whatever it is she needs it for].

It involves the Cult of the Deep's fascination with the Deep, and McDonnel's musings on human dregs [Humanity] being "the bedrock of this world".

Apparently the general idea is that as Kaathe's pilgrims make their pilgrimage towards Lothric and perish, their shards of Humanity sinks to the Deep [Soul Dregs], where it coalesces into a single mass again for... whatever purpose.

So yes, it is conceivable that the Dark Soul shattered by the Pygmy could be reformed as a mostly undivided whole.

not quite. Humanity is heavy, it has a physical weight to it, we all know this. So when a person dies, there is a chance that their humanity doesn't remain on their corpse for retrieval. Instead, it sinks, down into the foundations of the world. There it joins with other Humanity that has encountered the same fate, and all of this humanity starts to form a massive, viscous pool where it stagnates in PERFECT stillness and tranquility until the Flames fade.

Abyss-infected individuals (like the Londor pilgrims) also see their humanity sink down, but their humanity is corrupted by the Abyss. This corrupted Abyssal humanity joining with the Deep is what corrupted the Deep, and allowed evil monsters such as Gnaw to infiltrate its' normally-peaceful "waters." -- This is the crucial distinction to be made with what you posted.

At the end of space and time, when the flames fade into nothing, the disparity rules that bind reality together collapse, and the world literally crushes in on itself. As a side effect of this, the Deep is brought to the surface where it can interact with stuff. Although there are some "portions" of the Deep that find their way to the surface anyway, judging by the Deep Lake outside the CotD.

Since the Deep is, at its' core, tranquil Humanity, Sorcerers can call upon the Deep within themselves by manipulating their Humanity in spellwork, while NOT choosing to drive it wild in the process (which evokes Abyssal magic)

>Apparently the general idea is that as Kaathe's pilgrims make their pilgrimage towards Lothric and perish, their shards of Humanity sinks to the Deep [Soul Dregs], where it coalesces into a single mass again for... whatever purpose.

the dark soul, like seath's soul, was given sentience, and each shard of the soul claims just a tiny piece of man's essence and when enough coalesces, it starts to change the holder's thought patterns or, in extreme cases, create an entire being such as nashandra.

If every single piece manages to come together, in some form, whoever's mind has been seared into the soul will be reborn.

I doubt from would blow their load on who the pygmy was with manus, but it's possible. he was either the source of the phenomenon, or kaathe just wanted him to die so his massive chunk of dark soul could enter the pool.

Sorry if I'm a tard and this should be obvious, but what's up with the FP cost on WA's? Like the Hollowslayer Greatsword shows - (17/20). I get that the dash means it doesn't cost shit but what do the numbers inside the parentheses mean?

Claws are pretty damn good thanks to the WA. Basically, learn how to use the WA well because the very fact that it exists and you know how to use it removes a lot of your opponent's options completely. The claw moveset itself is shit, but the threat of the WA basically lets you get away with way more than you would otherwise since your opponent can't abuse reach to keep you zoned or mash R1 to beat you out without risking getting fucked by the WA.

how much stamina is enough? I always use 40 endurance but I want to stop at level 100 instead of 120 for once. should I cut from HP or stamina?

the deep is ash lake man. when the world ends and all the fire is burned you are left with ash, water, and giant trees. It's called the age of gray because the sand whips up into an ashen mist. I'm assuming all the humans left over at this point turn into dragons, with humans = dragons being a forgotten thing that is why original ringed city knights have such a hard-on for dragon armor.
>>

Oh okay, thanks dudes. That seems kind of expensive for those attacks. They're a little cool but not THAT great. I kinda forget I have them available most of the time, which I'm sure is the only reason I had not noticed that they were costing mana. Am I missing the point?

I don't know how humanity/dark soul being alive surprises anybody at this point when it's a very established trait since AotA.

the deep is not ash lake

ash lake is grey, the domain of ancient dragons

the deep is dark, which is totally different

they turn into hollows when they lose their souls and go insane. They don't show dragon covenant members in lotus posture and deep meditation. becoming a dragon requires mastery of the mind and is the equivalent of becoming a buddha

matchmaking is not based on soul level, is why

so researching and picking out a class just to let you be 3 levels more efficient with your build is totally pointless

it does, it creates life. it's called chaos because she lost control of it.

so what's the gimmick with the jump attack WA
is it just that it has hyperarmor and wins every trade? because it seems slow as shit and looks like it's crying out for a backstab against any enemy who isn't dumb enough to stand inside it and let himself get hit while mashing r1
>>

>>168755763
>has practically unbreakable HA
>stuns with a headshot so it breaks literally anything including Perseverance
It's broken as fuck
>>
>>168755961
It can't break Stomp, so anyone with a UGS can just poise through it and space-launch them.
>>
>>168755629

undead =/= hollow

undead is a person who is unable to die

being hollow is largely a term for having gone mad. Gwyn went hollow, but he was not an undead; he was simply an empty shell.
>>
>>168755763
2kat WA gives 50 poise so only greathammers can really break it with R1 and as you said it's easy to dodge if used from distance. It becomes a bit tricky to evade if he gets past startup frames and he's right at your face because that shit staggers you for the duration of the whole jump.
>>
>>168755961
ok but
>is slow
>the enemy player has a dodge button
i can see it being good vs ultras if you can just HA through their R1s and bully them
>>
>>168755558
Yeah but some have the stomp + the guts spin. I want to know which is the best with the uppercut stomp and how it compares to lorian's. Oh and also some ugses have the overhead swing r1s I'm not interested in.
>>168755640
Nah it has the move blackknights have. Its not bad and you can combo the back part of it with the rest for a 1000 something damage combo.
>>
>>168755763
The thing with the wa is the timing.You get ha during the jump so you have to make the most out it. The wa also stuns your opponent which is followed up by l1s and you eventually proc the bleed and if you land a headshot you do a lot of damage.
>>
is there any use for the WA on the lucerne? it just feels like a worse 1H R2 that does nothing.
>>
>>168756116
The entire thing is slow. The headshot comes out almost instantly. You can literally just do nothing and WA on reaction to any attack and come out ahead.
>>
>>168756170

You should stop going for that non-guaranteed hit at the end.
>>
>>168756236

every undead hollows except for the ones who meditate and become dragons, wyverns, serpents, and the like. This is why the ringed city has a boner for them.

have you seen any hollow dragons/wyverns?
>>
>>168756236
>>168756473
Also, unparryable
>>
>>168756546
first off, there is no indication that any undead has ever actually become a dragon, dragon form is only a pale imitation of the real deal

second, any undead who dies and then hollows out wouldn't be in dragon form as a hollow, since you lose dragon form upon death
