So I bought Dank Souls for a whooping 5 euros yesterday. Played for about an hour today, died like 5 or 6 times.

Am I good or what?

What's the recommended SL for Brume Tower? I'm at 113 and they're tenderizing my meat-hole. Wearing the full Drangleic set with the Penal Helm wielding a +10 Mace.

Lol looking for his own sun? Sounds like a severe case of psychosis. Guess the freak got what he deserved when he puts a fucking parasite on as a hat. Seems what I did was more merciful. Kinda wished I let him live now.

>>123648690
Also of note: I skipped Freja and did Drangleic Castle first, if that changes anything.
>>
>>123648743
The difficulty in the DLC goes up a lot and is intented for the late game just before you beat the final boss. If you use magic pls prepare your butthole because most enemies have a retarted amount of magic resistance.

>>123648979
>Using a crutch

No thank you. Mace, Shield and Bow are enough for me.
And Pyromancy but come on that doesn't even count as magic.

>Experience no trouble because the only enemies there are Syan "Please Backstab Me" Knights and ordinary swordsmen

Seriously, this is an end-game area? Their statue gimmick is retardedly telegraphed as to which are going to transform and unless you're a retard you can get them all 1-on-1 and beat everything at level 70 like I did with no trouble.

Same guy from here:

Frozen Eleum Loyce is fucking radical. Like an area they cut out of the original Dark Souls rather than a typical DaS2 level which lacks the feeling or the soul of the original. It's aesthetically perfect, and an example of great level design, as far through it as I am.

you can scan for it easily. then you can either cut it off from the source that changes its value, essentially freezing it or just manually change it to the desired one. i dont think you will get bunned for this. you shouldn’t go lower than the minimum sm for your level because you WILL get bunned. conveniently, mugenmonkey tells you your minimum sm if you paste your build there

In DaS1 it was explained that your character was tricked into sacrificing himself so the gods can live a little longer, but im not sure what just happened here or why i did all those things. Does it make sense to anyone?

locked sm is the easiest way to get banned
it doesn't actually "lock" it per se, but constantly changes it back to whatever you set it to be locked at
just play for a while then set your held souls to 0 and your sm to roughly what it was before you started doing whatever online activity
>>
>>123650725
there's a reason why the "like a dream" message exists
even shanalotte tells you youll sit on the throne without really knowing why
and aldia says you dont know what drives you
basically they got super lazy and pulled pseudo-poetic shit, then tried to play it off like thats what they intended since ds1 lore was omg so mysterious and deep
>>
>>123650747
im pretty sure there is a way to actually lock it. it was in the ce tutorial, the 4th or 5th task

This.
DaS2 a dung pie.
>>
>>123650995
It got fucked really hard during the development stage. I mean, fuck, it was supposed to be an open world game initially.

>>
>>123651143
>hurr, it has warping
>durr, that implies that it will have other bad features and the game will turn out shit

Flawless logic.
>>
>>123651143
>You will never experience DaS1 tier world design ever again
Are they unable to make a game where areas are all interconnected and you can easily navigate with shortcuts again? The first half of the game was perfect.
>>123651268
There never was any backtracking in daS1 because of the way the world worked. You could go from one area to the other pretty fast after you opened some doors and activated some elevators.
>>
>>123651268
Pacing breaks, world interconnectivity, multi-directional exploration.
>>
>>123650725
Nashandra wanted the Throne because she, like the other Dark pieces, represent an aspect of Manus. In her case, it was Greed. Greed for power, for status drove her to do everything. Her motives aren't logical because she herself is not a being of logic. She has only one feeling, the desire to obtain more than she has. She convinced Vendrick to eliminate the Giants for pretty much no reason I can discern, though.

Also the Emerald Herald is a god damned liar. That's the same for every single Guide in a Souls game. And the search for the cure is what all Monarchs do. It's their duty, as seen with every single fucking king in the franchise, and I guess that's what the Herald thought you needed to be in order to even begin to look for a cure.

Aldia sheds a bit of light into this with his explanations on the First Sin.

I really don't think more running makes a game better and more immersive, but whatever works for you, I guess.
>>
>>123651745
It fucking was. It was all downhill from Tom and Jerry though.
>>
>>123651745
Then can you point out the flaws from the first half of Dark Souls? If not, just refrain from making low quality posts in the future.
>>
>>123651836
Go play some Skyrim if you like linear locations so much.
>>
>>123651836
Of course it does, the game didn't need warping because you could get from point A to B pretty fast anyway. From a design perspective it's better to make shortcuts that work in an interconnect world than allow the player to magically teleport around.
>>
>>123651849
So you like hallways it seems.
The only good levels are painted world, catacombs and drained new londo. The rest is DaS2 tier.

yes
>>
>>123651907
How ironic, considering that Skyrim is filled to the brim with shortcuts.
>>123651927
That might be fair, but saying that DaS3 is going to have shit world design just because DaS2 had shit world design and warping is simply not correct. Those two things don't actually correlate, basic cause and effect shit, really.
>>
>>123652435
The world and warping will probably work like Bloodborne.
>>
>>123652026
>what is Undeadburg
>what is Blighttown
>what is Funhouse
>>
>>123652608
I liked bb's system more out of all souls games as even though you have warps, there's usually only 1-2 lamps per level and you need to actively use shortcuts if you fuck up at some point.
>>
>>123651869
Hallways hallways hallways and some ridiculous backtracking if you dared to explore.
The upgrade system plays a big part in making it so painful. Most gear comes unupgraded and the rarity of upgrade material means either mindless grinding or sticking with one or two weapons/armors for the entire game. You also get twinked to death during the first half if you decide to make use of the unique online mode. Also fps town.
>>
>>123652435
>filled with shortcuts
you mean the game where every dungeon was linear then doubled on itself opening a door behind some draugr by solving some? "puzzle"
>>
>>123652795
how the fuck did that question mark go? there
>>
>>123652757
>Hallways
I don't know what you mean by "hallways"
It's not a sandbox game but the world design isn't that linear.
>rarity of upgrade materials
The first blacksmith sells titanite shards, you could easily get more than one regular weapon to +5 by the time you reach him, unless you were using rare weapons, which are supposed to be harder to upgrade anyway. You also buy large shards when you got to the giant blacksmith, you can pretty much beat the game with a +10 weapon anyway.
>ridiculous backtracking if you dared to explore.
>You also get twinked to death during the first half if you decide to make use of the unique online mode
I'll give those to you

>>123652795

I hate how DaS1 played like a skyrim dungeon.

What's the threshold for Fastroll-Midroll-Fatroll in Dark Souls 2? I know Fatroll starts at 75%.
>>
>>123653393
70% for 'fast' if thats what you want to call it
>>
>>123653393
fat roll starts at 70.1
behind that there is a roughly linear relationship. at 120.1 and above you just stumble

Estus in DaS3 seems to heal you way too fast and it's hard to punish.
At least in Bloodborne you could shoot and riposte people who try to heal and weapons killed enemy players pretty quickly anyway, now fights are going to last forever.

Also in bloodborne you can kill anyone with 3-4 swings, so heals are required if you want your fight to last at least a few minutes.

Hopefully player damage is high in ds3 as well.

Been running some dragon summons in the Depths with this http://mmdks.com/7slj

Is Dragon Flame viewed as a crutch similar to Pyromancy? The DPS isn't much unless the host is naked and primarily I use it to push people back into the bonfire room people love to sit in that hallway with a halberd and 100% dmg shield, shield break for punch openings, and long distance chip damage. Obviously it's an infinite, long distance fire attack but I don't see myself on the same level as the guy who got fed up with me and switched to black flame.

Once I finish the game, I can restart a new game plus, correct? And the mobs' HP areinflated in new game plus, correct?
How can I raise my damage if all my weapons are already +10? Doesn't it turn all enemies into damage sponge that take 5 minutes and 600 hits to kill?

SL meta is 150 if I'm not mistaken. I have a 50/50 str/dex build that had enough vitality to wear a steel set with my weapon loadout so if you only invested into strength you should have enough points to get fai or int up.

Bows in general were good right after DS2 release. Then they were nerfed in tracking.
I still remember waking up once and noticing that my greatbow can't fucking aim for shit anymore. That was the point i really started hating DS2 and its balance decisions.

Then they removed golf swing.

In DS2, is the estoc any good as a weapon? I love the move set, simple poke or swipe
>>
>>123662546
its literally the most metagame tryhard weapon
>>
>>123662546
It's top tier, same as longsword.
Both of them shit on any other weapon in the game.
>>
>>123662257
Bows were by far the best close range weapons due to the tracking and ability to hold instant attacks. The nerf was necessary, but I wish it was possible to hit limbs of turtles.
I do not understand all the ultra weapon nerfs however.

Heavenly thunder, wog, sunlight blade and sunlight spear are the most damaging spells in the game.

>>123664229
Toxic Mist is really good in DaS2 due to the larger number of big, beefy enemies with a ton of health. It's a good back-up Pyromancy just in case you can't topple something with your melee alone. It'll do 1400+ damage on a single cast, so if you can kite something into the cloud it's a good way to cheese things like the Salamanders or Ogres.
>>
>>123664437
If that's true it's bullshit since Forbidden Sun is a lot faster to cast, a little harder to dodge and more easily acquired.

Newfag here. Does a wired xbox360 controller have an USB interface, or will I need an adaptor for it to work?

I've read that there's also a wireless variant of it (which I can get to work with a bit of messing around)

>>
>>123664774
im assuming you hit your target directly
forbidden sun does contact damage and explosion damage

>>123664826
Fume is easier than Alonne let nobody tell you otherwise.

Just kite Fume and he's easy as fuck. Alonne won't let you kite him.

How far through the main game are you? The DLC is for after the final boss.

I had two phantoms with me. Fume singled me out, broke my shield, and killed me. All in one combo.

I'm the guy who cheesed Nashandra with 3 phantoms and skipped over Shulva because I infused many weapons with poison.
>>
>>123664854
The wired one works wonderfully out of the box, couldn't tell you about the wireless one.
I'd recommend getting an xbox one controller, though, I personally like it a lot better and if the cable breaks you can just replace that instead of the entire controller.

>>123664981
Don't summon anybody for Fume. Alonne is easier with 1 summon.

Help a mate out. I'm using a +10rapier, +5 red rust scimitar and a +10 large club. I can't for the life of me beat the ivory king.
I use the club for the loyce knights phase and then switch to the rapier for the boss.
Here's the thing, i don't think i'm doing nearly enough damage to do this, the fight always drags on way too long.
Is this just a git gud problem?
Pic related, its my build, this is my first time playing so i went in blind and i imagine i fucked it up somehow

Get a flynns ring weapon infuse + weapon buff on any of those weapons. Dark or lightning is what I always go for but fire is the easiest.
It will boost your damage even more.
But the other half is a git gud problem my man. Just keep going at it, it gets easier.
>>
>>123665970
I have a lot more luck with Heavenly Thunder and Emit Force.

I've won quite a few duels by rolling the dice at the last second with Heavenly Thunder and being close to death myself, having one of the bolts luckily strike my opponent.

Not only that but if they get hit they stagger and I follow up with my swords.

>>123666542
flame weapon buff is inferior
Flynn's and RoB do less damage if you use it with infused weapons
>>
>>123664209
Its simply a good early game weapon because it has an infusion that you normally wouldnt have at this lvl. Fire scales with int. so casters early game use it longer than most.
Use it until you find another weapon you like more.

Just said flynn, not rob. Flynn has a +50 if youre equipping the right weight. You get no debuff if you have it infused with flynn. Which is why I didnt say rob. And with a rscimitar and rapier, thats a good boost. I said fire is just easier for an infusion, but I still recommend a dark or lightning.
>>
>>123666542
Alright then. I'm always kinda scared of infusing since they'll lower my weapon scalings and add int ones and my int is shit so i'm never sure if it's worth it or not.
I'll give it a try and keep at it then.
It's a bit silly that the whole base game is pretty much a cakewalk and then the dlc gets a huge ramp up in difficulty

>>
>>123664229
They're good for dicking around as an invader. The per tick damage isn't much, but the duration is what counts. Poison lasts for 3 minutes and toxic lasts for 10! For PVP though, there are better options for status effects.

Gravelord sword is my goto PVP weapon. Poise breaks all but the heaviest of builds and the toxic stacks on block as well, not to mention you can get it immediately after arriving at Firelink. Dark Silver Tracer is great as well thanks to its speed and stupid crit damage, but you have to play through most of the game + DLC to get it.

Poison throwing knives and dung pies are always fun, just remember dun pies toxin you as well.

Toxic is my favorite because it makes most players panic. People don't really prepare for it outside of PvE, and not many realize humanity cleanses it.

Spiders play on the primal fear of "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT", anon. It's natural to be scared of them. Not to the extent that I am, but it's natural. The memes regarding spiders being bros, or so scary that to get rid of one you'd burn down your house are bullshit.

Why so people say you can't leave hate mail?

I just turned on public comments to my Steam profile lets see what happens
>>
I can't for the life of me figure out parry timing in pvp, latency seems to make it impossible
>>
>>123672702
Most hatemail stems from the brief moment of rage they are defeated. By the time they have navigated to your steam profile page they've most likely cooled down enough to not bother leaving message
>>
>>123672702
it's just so much harder to send hatemail, that people just don't do it as often.

Despite all of the scummy shit I've done, I still haven't recieved hatemail.

It's slow I think it's the slowest curved greatsword, but the hit radius is about the same size as a claymore 2hR2. You can poisetank a hit or bait one out, it's pretty versatile.

>>123672659
Higher base damage no doubt but DST has a higher multiplier, which is what I meant to say.
>>
>>123651143
Miyazaki is personally doing the level design again though. DaS2's main flaws were its very poor world design for about 2/3rds of the game.
>>
>>123658232
No, estus healing quickly is a good thing. In das2, chug spam is very hard to punish because the slow regen rate makes your free hits on them not even count because they heal over it. In das3 you'll be able to wait until they heal and THEN smack them twice for the extra damage that actually counts, or just backstab them for the same effect.
>>
>>123674254
But you could kill them in one hit if they were at low health and tried to estus in front of you anyway.
The recovery time in DaS3 is so fast you can chug in someone's face and get away with it.

I've never said it wasn't a beta, how do you know they're going to patch it?
The idea that games are perfect on release and every bad thing is fixed after testing is just plain wrong.
It's obviously something to be worried about.

My ultimate hope for Dark Souls 3 is that it somehow synthesizes the lore of 1 and 2 in a satisfying manner.

Miyazaki-san, please don't disappoint.
>>
>>123670582
>>123671453

Why do weak pathetic people like you exist?
Panic attack? From seeing a video game animal/monster? What kind of stupid shit is that
>>
>>123674875
>>123674664
I know this is just the "BUT ITS A BETA" excuse, but it actually applies here. In some of the very first DaS3 videos we've seen, estus healing was instant. In more recent videos from the network tests, estus healing is basically back to how it was in DaS1.

>>123675323
I wouldn't be surprised if Miyazaki even cared to mention any of the new lore from DaS2.
>>
>>123675323
It has nothing to do with the other games except for some general concepts, such as a crumbling kingdom and the fire fading away.

Simply assuming it's going to work differently when the game is released is wishful thinking at best.
Also, i never claimed they won't, i'm just worried about it because it's too damn fast, it's exactly like the bloodborne vials but you can't shoot them in the face to interrupt it.

Scholar of the First Sin doesn't have texture mods yet iirc, but this equipment serves well.

I got 800+ hours with K&M, I like to think I mastered them by the end. Not that it matters now as I can't even figure out how to get back to my trusty old controls.
Guess I'll just pass on coming back, always found controllers clunky to use. Hopefully DS3 has some good modders to fix it's PC controls on launch. Not like From Soft would bother.

Can someone tell me how to get Lucatiel to the fucking flexile sentry fight?
She ALWAYS plummets to her death off the fucking docks. I've tried clearing all the enemies first like 5 times just to ensure she doesn't try to kite or get knocked back and she still runs off the fucking edge like a dumb cunt.

Is there a safer route to take her ai or something? I've tried walking with her, running way ahead to let her pathfinding handle it... Shit's driving me insane.

The Craftsman's hammer is the best mace in the game because of its damage and moveset. The homunculus mace has the same moveset but you can't get it from Wellager until you kill the Looking Glass Knight so just ascetic the Bastille again if you're lazy and want two maces.

Easy way to combat twinking is to remove weapon upgrades completely. It's stupid mechanic anyway because you're forced to sticking with only 1-2 weapons because of limited upgrade materials. All those cool weapons you find later in the game but can't use because you already used your stones.

>you're forced to sticking with only 1-2 weapons

Maybe if you're incapable of using anything less than a +5 lightning zweihander.

Twinks could still invade early game with armor and weapons with better base stats, and they would have access to magic and items that the people they're invading would not.

[setz's dork souls.png]

>>123692071
Each torch you find adds 5 minutes to the torch timer.
>>
>>123692071
You get 5 extra minutes for each torch item you pick up.
You get so fucking many torches throughout the game, the timer may as well be infinite. In fact they decided to make torch time infinite in Bloodborne and DaS3, thankfully.

I'm curious, if not pvp what do you do in DS games exactly? Replay the content over and over again?

That's what I was wondering too. My Prepare to die savelist is full to the brim with nothing BUT pvp builds. It's pretty much all there is to do once you beat the game, since it's so short and limited on content.
That's not to say I hate the content it offers, but it's undeniably lacking and rushed. I feel like it was even shorter than DeS if you know what you're doing.

you can't deny the fact that the game heavily encourages you to prioritise one weapon and one weapon only because of limited materias and this makes the game boring.

I liked how DaS2 threw standard upgrade material like candy at you, so twinking and trying out weapons wasn't much of a problem 15% into the game.

No, you dumb fuck. You can drop several +7 weapons in the game, and there are enough material to boost 6 weapons from 0 to +10.
>>
>>123693693
That's not true at all though. There were ample world/farmable slabs in dark souls 1, and the same goes for 2. In fact thinking on it, I don't think I've ever had issues just swapping weapons while progressing. What the fuck are you going on about?

I'm new to SOTFS.

Regarding PVP, if you belong to the bell keeper's covenant do you rank up when you walk into the bell tower and kill the invading grey summons?

And in the Brotherhood of Blood, do you lose points when you lose a battle? Does that mean that you have to kill 500 guys without dying to get to max level? And do you lose the auras after you've obtained them if you're defeated too much?

Maybe this is really simple, but it's really messing with my head.
>>
>>123693885
You need to invade as a gray bellkeeper (wear the ring and idle in the iron keep/lost bastille) to get points for the Bellkeepers. 100 kills is the max rank. You don't lose any ranks if you die.

For the Blood faggots, yeah you do lose a point if you die in the arena. It's bullshit, I know.

Hi people
I have been playing pc games for a very long time, but Dark Souls is my first 3D action game.
(I mainly played strategy games, both turned based and real time, and simulators)

We are talking issues that affect NEW players.
Sure you can grind hours upon hours after sequence breaking with the master key in a hidden optional area and stand a chance against twinks or just twink yourself 5% into the game, but new players that don't read a fucking guide won't max even one weapon let alone their armor before getting the lord vessel.
Half of the fucking game(the so called good half) is ruined by that archaic bullshit.
>>
>>123695871
If you want to be cheap and phase 2 is giving issues then chug estus after he finishes a combo, he will do the overhead attack to smack you.
His sword will start glowing while its glowing he can't buff it so he won't go into phase 2.

Learn his combos, only 2 attacks with light weapons 1 with heavy weapons, don't get baited, he tends to add extra attacks onto his combos if you attack him after one, so don't get greedy or he will backhand your ass for 70% of your life

The actual mechanics point is debatable, since the introduction of Estus healing for arena fights and more definitive weapon tiers than the prequel made most things a samey slog for those Orbs.
Nigga, people DID use the same meta cookie cutter build. I played the game, it kept showing up.

If they're debatable then why don't you fucking debate them? Just stating it doesn't mean shit.

Alright, here goes
Estus in the arena and a stronger sense of weapon tiering made PvP generally worse.

Lockon movement is a general game mechanic, but I will give you that it was an improvement.

How does DS2 have any replay value when the entire game is one hulking pile of hot dog shit? Oh wow a couple of black phantoms were added to each area, as if the game didn't already throw 100 mobs at you constantly!
The PVP is slow, clunky, and generally horrendus; bloodborne is by far the best in the series, but i guess desperate PC players still clinging to the worst product fromsoft ever shipped out will never understand that.

Why are katanas still in every souls game? Not a single one has been based anywhere near japan, yet they all worm their way in and become top tier in every game.

Well in Dark 1 they say that katanas and shit are from the far east and the settings design is clearly an old yuro setting, and every VA is a yuro; so it clearly has ties. Yeah it's a made up world, but it has ties to the real world in that respect.

1. They're swords from foreign lands. It's a fantasy world, so you don't know how Lordran or fantasy Nippon interact.

No one complains about curved swords because they aren't OP. Katanas are OP (when in real life they are some of the most useless swords in the entire world) just because FROM wants to stroke their own Nipponese dick. If they weren't top tier in EVERY iteration of the game then I wouldn't complain, but as it stands now it's just boring.

I though it was just a meme, but i've bought SotFS on Steam and it really is worse than DaS1. It is not a bad game, but gameplay doesn't feel right. I like the multidirection rolling, but everything else is clunky and slower. The new hollow skin is also ugly as fuck.

40 DEX, 40 INT, and 40 FAI should be fine, but remember that there's no reason to stop leveling up in DaSII. I have 99 DEX and 40/40 magics.

The Jester shirt negates all critical hits (Backstabs i.e).

It's meh in PvE but it's silly good in PvP

The thing should have negative poise

I use the jester set because it's a cosplay build. Please understand.
Also the jester chestpiece has the absolute best weight:def ratio out of any chestpiece without poise, last time I checked.

>>123716998
Do you use anything other than pyromancy?
>>
>>123717039
No, I'm Marvelous Jester. I use a crossbow and kicks.
>>
>>123717235
What; how are you kicking in DaSII

>>123717290
The bone fist's running r1. When I'm not using that I just use the estoc or fume sword.

Thinking of getting a PS3 this Christmas for DeS.

Is it possible to use cheat engine in some way to revert the golfswing to back before it was nerfed?

You could get the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus HD collection.

Fuck, why is the mugenmonkey for DaS1 so much better than DaSII's? Did he just give up?

I want to find a good damage calculator

If you can't stop being a little girly boy that gets fucked by dad then try to summon people and go hide in a corner while they kill it.
>>
>>123718192
probably because there's a lot more content than 1, along with new game mechanics and calculations.
>>
>>123716998
>weight:def ratio
Isn't the manequin set better for that?
>>
>>123718652
Is it? Well either way I'm still using the jester piece.
That reminds me, I really wish the weapon tier list guy would make a chart of all the best armor:weight ratio gear, with and without poise.

What would be the point?

The only thing that matters for armor is either poise or fashion souls, physical DEF got nerfed to so much shit that a naked man with ring of steel protection +2 takes roughly the same amount of damage from a physical attack as a guy in full havels.

Looking to make a stealth invasion build for Dark Souls 2. Focusing on hiding and coming out of nowhere to get back stabs and all that with some ranged capabilities.

Any tips? How to hide myself, stats, weapons, or locations or whatever?

Do you only enjoy adventure RPGs, or do you like other genres besides our favorite flavor of masochism?

There is a wealth of good titles for the PS3, depending on your preferences.

>>123718324
Yeah, but it's been two years now. Didn't the DaS1 version get done by then?

he gave up because the concept of a build is a joke in SM souls 2 and also the pvp is a joke
