It is a very funny filename, anonymous. May I save it?

Anybody else like saving optional bosses for the end of the game just so you can see how hard you can wreck them with your end game equipment?

I downloaded the durzano controller deadzone fix for das2 a long time ago, put hundreds of hours into the PC version and lately I haven't been able to connect but it doesn't say I'm banned, VAC is good also. Namco support even said I wasn't banned.

Could that deadzone fix be to blame? I tried port forwarding as well, I can connect to DaS just fine but not Das2

DeS - Cthulhu head faggots in Latria or maybe the giant club fuckers inVoD especially in the swamp part

DaS - Blowdart snipers or drakes in Valley of Drakes

DaS2 - Exploding mummies or maybe the NPC invader just before Demon of Song in Amana

I kinda like him. for some reason it feels nice to block for a while and find openings to bonk him with a club. He can't seem to drain my stamina completely, so I never really had problems with that guy.
the warhammer and shield guy is typically harder for me to open up and kill just because he blocks really well.

Just beat Stray Demon, some bullshit that his aoe will clip through if you're at the wrong angle even if facing it. Got some red chunks which is cool.

>>121444340
I never really had a problem with him as a pure melee build on my first playthrough

I just baited him into attacking and rolled behind him, then got in a hit or two, and repeat

What combo would be the most useful overall?

What are some other weapons that an SL1 can use? The reinforced club and the handaxe are both fucking garbage. Shit hitboxes, shit range, shit wind up on every fucking attack, no proper r2 for the club, etc.

Are there any famous Souls players who are actually good?

I'm not talking about guys who rely wholly on parries, or those who have a fully optimized build that uses the same tactics each fight. I mean people who can actively adapt to any situation and deal with it in an effective way.

I remember watching MrIWont4Get's videos a little while back and his general tactic was v get the opponent down to 1/2 health then finish with a backstab.

Are these people not to blame for the cancer that is the Souls community?

Aside from mathew & ENB, any other souls channels?

In Das1 at what point roughly do I need to fuck with the dragon proper? It's triggering me that I still haven't got those items yet and I wanna know whats behind it.

>>121451668
Oroboro is genuinely good, but gets shit on because he's famous for the DMB falchion build. He has plenty of videos of him shitting on people with a wide variety of weapons, including 'bad' ones like twinblades

Then sit under the bridge with a good bow. Many, many, many people before you have gone "Oh I'll just fight it now that I'm stronger, it'll be fine", and realized that the Hellkite Drake is one of the worst enemies in the souls franchise. It's not worth fighting legitimately for ANY reason. No good loot, no satisfaction, not fun to fight it, nothing

LHB is most likely just a crude imitation of original Holy Moonlight Blade created for simple hunters. MLGS looks smaller and is already shown to have some unique animations plus obviously going to have projectile attacks.

It's also the best looking version of MLGS since KF maybe and actually looks like it's made from moonlight energy.

>>121455235
there are weapons like dual scimis, 1 handed it's 1 scimi, 2 handed it's dual scimis. a downgrade from powerstancing imho, but it means they might actually have some transforming shit. im not sure who they would make it look like souls though.

It'd be better if it appeared to be a dagger with an oversized hilt and then when tricked the blade appears in a burst of energy. It'd be more consistent with how KF lore describes the weapon.

Its untricked mode is a longsword covered in rags, probably will function as ice rapier with stabbing moveset and some weak piercing projectile.

Considering we started with 15, that's pretty impressive.

>>121455787

>>121456496
It's some kind of an offhand parry weapon. I hope there's going to be a main hand one as well, BB has great unarmed moveset on par with bone fists.

>>121458191
>>121458124

Kaiser is correct, because the Germans got this pronunciation from the Pope, because they were the true Holy Roman Empire, the only genuine successor to the Imperium Romanum

>>121458243
Yeah... I know. I just can't kill anything because my weapon is way too slow. I just get fucking rekt by bloodloss from these fucking thieves before I can attack them, even if I swing preemptively

>>121458953

What the fuck?

If you can't manage with the DGA just get a battle axe and upgrade it a little, you'll still do plenty of damage with it. Try to get used to the DGA though

>people who clearly are waiting around for duels at Belfry Sol summoning the NPC phantom and chugging estus.
I'm sticking to Iron Keep Bridge thank you very much, never have I encountered so much faggotry as I have at Belfry Sol

I don't mind chugging and phantoms if you're trying to get through the area but if you're clearly waiting for duels you're a faggot.

>>121459347
>>121459456
What this anon said.

Alternatively, to take full advantage of your Str you could grab a Club and upgrade it as much as you can, you should do pretty high damage and it's able to carry you for a fairly long time through the game.

>>121459456
I just keep getting fucked by the two dogs and capra demon. I can't get a single attack off and I can't roll past them.

>>121460070
If you aren't getting the hang of the Demons Greataxe, try something smaller/more suited to your playstyle, plus the DGA will be really affecting your equip load and your roll, especially at 13 End.

>>121460335
I have Havel's and Lautrec's rings, so my roll is fine.

It does feel like Namco possibly chose it to be the posterboy, as with Faraam, because they thought it was cooler.

It would be like if they had decided to use the Black Iron set for Dark Souls advertising because it looks more "badass" than Elite Knight.

Goddamn I don't know why they thought that effect was a good shortcut to fur. It's more of an intense blur than anything fur like.

The lightning demons are fucking niggers to fight on SL1.

Not only are their hitboxes so fucked up that my club/axe are going right through them without doing any damage, but they also infinitely dodge.

That armor set looks way too unique and "regal" to be something that you can simply find in a treasure chest or on the ground somewhere.

I highly reckon that that is going to be a boss armor. The "crown"-like helmet makes me think that the boss will be one of those Heirs of Cinders.

>>121470529

The Japanese language is capable of differentiating lord and heir, so its not really a salient point. They have extremely different words for those concepts.

>>121476830
I need only six more I'm getting desperate

>>121476750
Yeah this. According to a bunch of empirical data mined by autists item discovery in two seems to average between values for the items used rather than stacking on each other in some way.

I'm still not sure if I agree, since that would means rusted coins always lower your discovery rate but I feel like I've found them helpful.

>>121476903
Armor pieces seem to override loyce souls so you don't want extra item discovery in the first place
AND GSR+2 gives you the most possible item discovery, statistic from reddit etc, not that you would want that for loyce souls because of the reason above

>>121476949
>since that would means rusted coins always lower your discovery rate
Its probably something like GSR gives you a 1.2 multiplier (numbers from my ass just for the examples sake), jesters cap gives 1.1 multiplier etc,so if you wear GSR with something else it averages lower
Rusted coins would give like 1.05 multiplier meaning its better if you have base item discovery, but worse if you have a dedicated item for it like a ring.

Also these goddamn captchas going off the side of the screen how do you even fuck that up in the fist place?

For PvE can be useful in a lot of situations, but some bosses can be immune. In pvp it's basically useless since everyone will be carrying around moss in either game, if they aren't you didn't win because poison is good, you won because they were a shitter.

In DaS1 poison is kinda shitty. No good or easy way to build it up and the damage is underwhelming for the effort. The only real use of it is bow-cheesing things with poison arrows.
Conversely, bleed is godlike. It is attached to dozens of extremely good weapons with little to no tradeoffs, easy to build up and triggers to cause massive % based damage instant to the target. Some bosses are vulnerable but most bosses and more than half of the enemies in the game are immune.

In DaS2, things are reversed. Bleed is hard to build up and most bleed weapons either have too little buildup to ever trigger it, or have decent buildup at the expense of being shit weapons. It procs to deal a flat 200 damage and reduce the target's max stamina for a few seconds (which essentially just means there's a few seconds before you can begin building it up again).
Conversely, poison is great with several good weapons that can build it up, and a variety of effective specialized means of inflicting it quickly. The poison DoT is much stronger in DaS2 (about 1100 damage in total), making it a viable, though specialized, playstyle in both pvp and pve. Unlike DaS1, there are very few enemies immune to either status effect and most bosses can be poisoned.

I remember reading SOMEWHERE that the eggsacks actually store the excess humanity for the Fair Lady.

So maybe she eats the Humanity you give her to soak the poison out and then expels the poison-soaked humanities as worm-things?

>>121489189
I always thought that the egg-bearers were carrying Quelaag's eggs, not her sister's. After all, the Fair Lady mentions that all her eggs have died, and Eiyngi is surprised that you don't have eggs on you when you first meet, despite having never seen her before.

It seems that Quelaag's conditions for joining the Chaos Covenant involve strapping you down and pumping eggs into your abdomen, and you've just got to lie there and take it.

>>121488570
>In pvp it's basically useless since everyone will be carrying around moss in either game
whenever i was watching some ppl pvp, i was wondering whether the poison-players just failed to stay close to the enemy in case they want to eat moss or if moss is actually broken

>>121491926
The katanas don't really get the bleed effect off most of the time. The best way is golden tracer. It also helps indirectly because you will be most likely carrying red moss and the red moss animation looks like a divine blessing animation, so you can psyche your opponent out by using red moss at random times.

Anyone down for a fresh co-op run in DeS, DaS, or DaS2? I'm on PS3 for all of them. We could do some PvP too.

>>121492729
>>121492535
>>121492604
I should clarify:

The reason that I think this phrase refers to her perception of them, as opposed to their actual state of being, is as follows:

The fact that the description opens with "to her,..." is telling. If it were literally describing the eggs, it would be better to begin with
>her eggs...
or
>the eggs...
but adding the emphasis on
>to her, the eggs...
Gives the whole phrase a much more heavy emphasis on the idea of her perception of the things.

In addition, the Fair Lady mentions to you that her eggs have "gone still." Yet, the Humanity that claws at the firekeepers are said to "swarm" and "writhe." The two descriptions are in conflict if we assume that the eggs are literally cradles for her humanity(ies?)

Yes, lorewise, it would make more sense for Quelaag to give you a pass if you show up hollow with 00 humanity on the counter.

I mentioned in another thread that it would be neat if the replaced RES with a SPEECH skill, so that you could hypothetically talk your way out of situations like this -- still as useless as RES, but more fun from a lore and RP standpoint. If no-one remembers the specifics, I could elaborate again

Looking at it again, I really would like a slower-paced souls game. Not combat-wise necessarily. Rather, you'd spend more time exploring/navigating and enemy encounters are farther in between but harder overall. That's the feeling I get from the trailer.

>>121495682

Don't be Iazy. Go Iook it up bitch.

Not a mod.

Well there was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLTeQVfaQL8

all this video does is fill me with the rage of knowing that there will never be a hammer class between hammers and great hammers, like how greatswords exist between swords and UGS

>>121496573
So you're saying you want an "Ultra Greathammer" class?

>>121496735
No, I want a class of medium hammers between hammers like the mace and blacksmiths hammer, and hammers like the Cheeto / Smough's hammer

how much vitality points should you have for your average spellsword build in DaS2

i feel that i'm going at something the wrong way, considering how i keep dying like butter even when wearing the heaviest, most damage resistant armor I can

>>121496894
>armor matters
kek

>>121496894
try less armor, more dodging/blocking

>>121497229
I would do that in Dark Souls 1, but in 2, there's just a lot of high damaging enemy spam and really unclear attack animations/shockwaves that it doesn't seem as viable to me.

>>121497652
>shockwaves
can we stop with this meme already?

shockwaves have always been a problem, but they're just so much worse in dark souls 2

Yeah people really need to understand how light refraction works, and that it only appears blue due to that being the shortest wavelength, in fact Butterflies aren't the same colour you think they are either.
Blackjack, Theists.

>>121498549
No they're not, quit being bad. I don't know why Dark Souls 1 gets a pass so often but people try their absolute damnedest to make Dark Souls 2 seem more unfair than it really is.

If that were a Dark Souls 2 webm you'd be creaming yourself at the thought of yet another opportunity to flair your neckbeard at the game.

>>121498720
ok, i'm going from one to the other

in 1, they don't fucking swarm you with tanky fuckers who kill you very quickly in tiny rooms. whenever they do swarm you, its with shitty little hollows and the like who you melt like butter and are only even a threat if you are paying attention.

In Dark Souls 2, they throw a million fast as fuck guys who are super strong at you a lot.

>>121499080
some giant bosses that you fight once is not the same thing as every enemy in the game including bosses and normal enemies, and this things aren't even in the level of ds2 bullshitness.

>>121499110
Name some examples.

>>121499430
It's not "every enemy". Have you considered that you're just not good at Dark Souls 2?

>>121499430
how about you post some ds2 bullshit then
oh right there isnt any

>>121498720
because
>>121499430
it IS unfair as it looks like, the game was made to be unfair for the sake of being ''hard'', nor to be fair, like ds1, these webms of das1 were not intentional, different from ds2 that had a billion patches and even a new version that was sold as a different game that have the same hitboxes and grabs bugs and new dlcs with new enemies with hitboxes and grabs bugs.

>>121499696
that was almost funny, retard. you know there's a lot.

jesus fucking christ you have the worst case of post purchase rationalization

>>121499803
practically nailed it. i'm willing to guess the shitty fast and glidy animations are the result of both the team being stressed to release on time, and the fact that they're "hardcore difficult" means they weren't actually fixed.

i already finished das2 and it's easy as fuck with some spiked of ''difficulty'' when you have to fight multiple enemies at the same time
screenshot related is my character

>>121500046
also horrible director, the director of the last dlc was much better than the one that made the default game. Don't forget that bandai fucked the maps up and this literally ruined everything.

>>121499803
Dark Souls 2 isn't that hard, and it's sure as hell not unfair, at least not any more than Dark Souls 1 is.

It's always some retarded excuse. It's never the player's fault.

If it's so easy then why are you bitching about how unfair it is on some anonymous imageboard. Are you crying for the sake of crying.

is ivory crown actually going to be good?

i've been going through the whole game, currently at sir alonne in iron crown, who is fucking bullshit sprinkles with his mind boggling "fast anime katana teleports behind u" style that clashes with what the setting is supposed to be.
