What would you fix/add for the remaster? >gravelord invasions

>>375771426
remove the part where you can die

>>375771426
remove japanese drop rates

rings were underplayed, there should be a "god ring" you get at one point that makes you hyper mode

make spells that boost stamina

make x button jump, improve jumping and have more platforming

Just remake it in dark souls 3 without poise just to make /v/ mad

>>375771426
>>gravelord invasions before ng+
make it so a level must reached for certain areas and this would work I think

In addition just do a SOTFS style rearrange in almost all areas

Rework poise into having a smaller base but increases during attacks.

>warp from the start
Obvious one here, all the latter souls games did it so it must be something they agree needed to be added.

>remove curse 50% hp debuff
That shit was just ridiculously broken and not fun at all, especially with no warp.

>make tomb of giants brighter
It was way too dark, i fell off loads of times, totally not fun!

>no invasion online mode
To prevent having my gaming experience ruined by neckbeard losers with OP characters whilst being able to participate in jolly co-operation with my fellow sunbros.

>remove all the stupid spread out blacksmith
Just need 1 blacksmith, in the hub obviously.

>remove master key
Shortcuts are for lamers.

I think that should suffice.

Didn't read the thread, DaS perfect the way it is.

I'm playing DaS on Xbone dl games, I made a mistake and bonfired in Sen's after camera glitching in(bell bosses skip), my only optionis Lordevessel or bust. I'm level 5, sitting inside Anor Londo castle, everything's opened up, I just need some help from a sunbro or another low level taking down BiggieSmalls. Anyone game?

>>375773394
>DaS perfect the way it is.
I'm sorry anon, but that's wrong, DaS is still my favourite but it's fundamentally broken in the long run.

I would say having warping be accessible from the get go and have every bonfire be warpable, lord knows I hate having to run from the parish to the forest every time I feel like doing some PVP.

Also some new areas, re-arrange the item placements so dexfags can't rush the great scythe anymore, or strengthfags the zwei.

>>375772587
(You) can have it.

>>375774637
So you can't use the illusionary wall bonfire just next to that gate? I'm so confused. I don't think making warping possible early is smart, you can get just about anywhere outside of Sen's without a warp. The environment is a brilliant part of the game, you'd stop traveling it if you didn't want to when you warp. That's lame. You just want a PvP fighter, play DaS3. It's much more your style I think.

And I'm saying that whilst I could incredibly benefit from the change. I'm stuck waay underpowered in Londo with no way out but the Lordvessel, did you read that? I need help. I made a mistake.

Lord vessel doesn't let you warp to darkroot bonfire that's what I was saying.
At least not on PS3 unless there's a mod on PC that makes every bonfire warpable

>>375771426

Ugh is everyone in this thread gunna be on Sony? I'm stuucckkk on Xboned. Level +10 sword and shield not enough for Biggie Smalls. Cant get back to upgrade them further due to glitching. It was a stupid mistake.

>>375780196
I don't agree with the painted world. Now, you CAN warp to it. As long as you don't rest, you can homeward back to where you came from. But the painted world is a bit of a trap so I appreciate not being able to warp out.

>>375780196
New Londo for sure needs a bonfire, even if it's just at the start of the zone. Having to take the elevator every time you want to go down there is kind of annoying.

I never really felt like the Crystal Caves needed a bonfire, and I ran it as a squishy as fuck mage with no way of dealing with the crystal golems.

Lost Izalith needs needs a closer bonfire, for sure, but maybe not that close.

The Artorias run was obnoxious, yeah, having a bonfire next to the elevator would have been nice, or at least having a safer path to get there.

I'm positive that you can get to painted world via Lord Vessel.

>>375779225
>>375777758
There is nothing wrong with having the Master Key as a starting item, especially in a game that prides itself in being as open as Dark Souls. You might as well remove the ability to kill the Four Kings early.

There really isn't much that needs to be changed gameplay wise desu. I would make the backstapps less common and harder to pull off but aside from that it's all good. Now what I would like to see is a technical update, you know improved performance and the like. That's what we all want anyway. I would give my right nut to play souls with a huge community again.

Yes. In fact I just played it last night.
Bleed lasted like 5 seconds and did no damage.
Am I missing something? Are there different tiers of bleed?

>>375778807
BB doesnt really agree though. You can only warp to an area to the hunters dream (and back to the hunters dream if you desire). You can't just warp anywhere you want from whatever lantern you want.

the bar has to fill all the way up for bleed to apply.

>>375782783
When Bleed's bar fills up you take a large amount of damage.

It doesn't "last" for X amount of time, that's simply preventing the enemy from causing it again immediately.

>>375778807
>muh interconnected world so depth maymay

Part of why I played ds1 so much was because I could run through so many different routes. Ds2 and 3 make me feel railroaded in comparison.

>>375783190
maybe he's confusing ds2 and ds1 because in ds2 the bleed makes you slow and loses all stamina when you get "bled".

>>375783206
DS1 really did allow for build variety considering you could run somewhere earlier than you were supposed to.

At least with DS3 you can transfer items with the help of a friend.

>>375782783
you'll notice when you get hit by an enemy with a bleed weapon you'll get a bleed bar at the bottom of the screen, and when it gets filled up, you take a ton of damage

this also applies to enemies when you hit them with a bleed weapon, there are different weapons like the Gold Tracer and Lifehunt Scythe that make people bleed basically immediately

Bleed doesn't last for any amount of time like poison or toxic, you just fill up the bar with enough bleed hits and they take damage equal to about a third of their health immediately. Various weapons have different bleed numbers that give you an idea of how much it takes to make them bleed

I'd rather a remastered Demon's Souls with Covenants.

Just let me warp between Bonfires, that's it, add that and DS1 will be a 10/10 masterpiece

Redo the covenants so they either work consistantly (Darkmoon, Gravelord)
Have an alternate means of aquiring covenant items without grinding mooks (Dragonbros)
Have a reason to join them and stick with them(Princess Guard, Way of White, Chaos Servants)
Sunbros, Dickwraiths and Catfags are fine as they are.

They should make Way of White players auto summon each other against invaders since they're the babies first covenant with no rewards, and Chaos Servants should work like purples where they dont care who dies as long as they get humanity for the lady.
I have no fucking idea how to salvage Princess Guard. I almost forgot to include them in this post.

>>375783761

except I think I should be able to leave the sunbros and still use sunlight spear. I understand not being able to use Sunlight Spear if you're not a sunbro for roleplay reasons but if I have enough stats to fucking use sunlight spear let me fucking use it regardless of what covenant im in. I leveled faith so clearly I have faith in the gods and all that jazz...

i'm going to use it "kill" gwynevere in ng+ or anything

>>375771426
>respec mechanic

No.

It would be nice to at something else to the lost izalith area. It would also be nice to see that boss finished. I guess that it was to be more like that tree boss in DS3.

Other than that, I enjoyed the simplicity. Better graphics, and better networking for PC.

The current state of ds pc is pretty good. I wish there were more players, but w/e.

I think no to respecs....Only because I am a bit conservative on that stuff. Sure it would help the noobs, but they are going to delete that character shortly anyway. My favorite character to use is SL18 and god knows what NG+ I am on at this point.

Best fun: NG++. Don't kill the gargoyles. Summon Soliare and Lautrec, and wait for invaders.

i agree with you. i mentioned it earlier but if not removing backstabs at least give us two armor sets that prevent backstabs like in dark souls 2. One light armor set (the jester set in das2) and one heavy armor set (the ironclad aka turtle set in das2).

If netcode was improved, this would not be a legit concern I don't think.

Why is magic considered a scrub crutch? I found a high poise strength build to be easier than a pure mage build for PvE.

>>375784687
On the topic of lava, make it so you get the orange charred ring before a boss where you'd actually want it and redo the fight with centipede so it isnt so jank. That design is so fucking rad, but the boss had to be made easy cause you cant really fight him off that tiny island until you get the ring and most of his boss arena goes to waste cause you'll probably beat him on the right side island anyway.
Also make it so jumping over lava gaps doesnt do lava damage anyway goddamn.

Completely redo demon ruins and lost izalith's enemy placement.

>Why is magic considered a scrub crutch? I found a high poise strength build to be easier than a pure mage build for PvE.
once you learn the dodge it becomes very powerful to use magic weapon or even just a few absurd spell blasts.

>>375784845
because in NG you can almost one shot even late game enemies with the right set up (that ring that increases your magic damage plus that crown that increases magic PLUS the tin crystallization catalyst to basically pump your sorcery full of steroids.

What would they even do with PrincessGuard?
As a coop covenant they're pointless. Helping players with healing miracles is a waste of time and no one even uses them. Sunbros got the summoning for coop shit down.
They're called Princess Guard so maybe soke kinda protect the zone covenant, but protecting Anor Londo already exists with Darkmoon Blades and Dark Londo so they'd feel really redundant. What could sun titties even do that would make her covenant worth anyones time?

>>375785171

This
The main enemies in ruins were supposed to be those spidermen from tseldora cave in DS2 (which makes sense with all those Quelaag eggs laying about) and the main enemies in Izalith were supposed to be machete-wielding aztecs with sunlight maggots on their heads. If they can't recreate the Izalith enemies then adding more pyromancers would be fine.

>>375785341
