/r/ing the yorgh-san picture
Posted this in the last thread right before it died, so trying again:
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?
>>123721654
Here you go, Anon.
What kind of magic should a Cloud build use?
>DaS Gravelording is too impractical
>DaSII rat covenant suck balls
How to make it good in DaSIII?
>>123721757
invade the gutter and black gulch with chameleon I guess
ds1 is better for this kind of thing really, with the ring of fog reducing visibility a lot
>>123721641
I'm open to anything, really.
>>123721895
There's all kind of Materia so it's hard to tell
Pyromancy should do it
>>123721997
Remake the Gravelord covenant, but simply make it so that the host can do it in places where the boss is dead. Also expand the matchmaking requirements to normal invasion reqs
>>123721757
Invade in the Frigid Outskirts. Wear stuff that looks like a white Ghillie Suit/roll in the snow to coat yourself in it. Get a greatbow of any type, doesn't really matter. Use Cheat Engine for the increased lock-on range script and then pelt the poor schmucks with arrows from far away, it'll scare the shit out of them.
What's a good Weight Load to hover around in DaSII?
I usually end up between 40 and 60 percent.
>>123722390
Under 50 is best for the stamina regen+roll distance. Try not to go over 50% at all, really.
>>123721997
Use the DaS version as a base, but make it work in NG too and show the players you have infected as ghosts in your world.
Sea Bow or Hunter's Black Bow?
>>123723070
HBB is the best bow in the game. Unless you're a faith build, in which case it's the Bow of Want.
>>123723070
hunter

You know what you did.
>>123724110
Not sure what you mean. I know I'm max shitter with those weapons and rings, but that's what I would use even if they weren't meta. I'm a fag for extra damage, and I like the look of those weapons.
is there a weapon roulette for Dark Souls 1?
not the random weapon swapping mod
not a "post on 4chan to roll for a build" pic

How rare is it to find a summon for the gargoyles in 2? I've been waiting around the boss gate for around an hour and haven't seen a single sign.

Any suggestions?

What's wrong with her skin? Did she accidentally dip her nose in her rouge?

>>123726503
Shut the fuck up, autist. Your waifu is garbage and that's the honest truth. Other people just say otherwise because they don't want your sissy ass to kill yourself after one point of criticism.

Sorry to bother your waifu posting friends. But would someone kindly respond to an inquiry of mine? Around what Soul Memory do people generally fight Fume Knight? Is 1.5 million low or high?
>>123728546
the problem they have is the last-minute lighting system they put out for the shitty specs of the PS3 and 360. the alpha one shown made the game really pretty as it hid a fair few of the bad textures (eg. Gutter)
>tfw no Ring of the Living to make your paladin waifu look pretty while sunbroing
She will always be the perfect one.
Good dex weapon mid game?
Thinking a Katana or Balder side sword? Or should I stick with short sword?
>>123729483
Best PvE dex weapon is the great scythe. Balder Side Sword is really good for PvE and PvP though.
>>123729464
Well that's a whole load of bullshit
>>123729483
With dex, always go balder.
If you want to effectively co-op with people without fucking over your SM, the best bet is just to use the agape ring right? I really like running through zones with people, but it sucks you can only do it a couple times with high yielders like the lost sinner early on before it fucks with your accumulated souls.

>>123721997
Either >>123722581
Or make it so that, if there's a Rat-like Covenant in DaS3, make it so that going through the Rat area is a big shortcut to the big boss of the area (example: going through Doors of Pharros and beating Royal Rat Authority brings you directly to the giant webbed room right before Duke's Dear Freja, or going through Grave of Saints and beating Royal Rat Vanguard brings you directly to where the Hidden Bonfire is in Black Gulch, right before The Rotten. That would be a huge incentive for players to go through the Rat areas to progress through the game faster and thus, more players to invade.)
Unrealistic hair colors > Realistic hair colors
Discuss
>>123730876
In real life, no. In Souls, yes, because it's always hilarious to create abominations in the character creator.
>>123730876
Agreed. I'm also one for unrealistic pube colors. In fact I dare say they are the only forms of bush I like.
>>123730876

I love souls games, but the weapon/armor upgrade system is pure ass.
>all done to just keep pace with the game
>grind for rare shit
>just feels like busiwork
They made it less painful in Dark, but it's still really stupid. They should nix the entire standard upgrade path. Only keep the upgrades that actually change the weapon's attributes (fire, magic, etc) or are demon souls weapons. Those are actually worth something. It would simplify a lot.
>>123731834
>OMFG LOL
Going hard I see. Full party boss health in the + runs are pretty fucking fun. Done a NG+7 manus or Artorias party yet? It's a blast.
>>123731834

>>123732796

the only way I can see you being strapped for upgrade mats is if you decide to upgrade your whole armor set for whatever stupid reason
the game gives you PLENTY of vendors and freebies for multiple weapons
>>123732918

Anyone else use shadowplay? Every time I save a new recording in DaS1 the screen goes white until I tab out and back in
Didn't have this issue before and it can be a bit annoying
>>123733646
I'm going to say no, and follow up with the question "What the fuck is shadowplay?"
>>123733753
Nvidia video cap software, came with my GPU
>>123732796
>>123732964
It's just annoying and ultimately pointless busiwork. You always have to keep aware of it, keep track of which chunks/whatever you have, which vendors buy them. It adds nothing to the game, as by the end you're in the exact same place where you started. You're just keeping pace with the game.
Amazing chest aheadTry holding with two hands
>>123733908
Oh okay, does it capture at a specific framerate? I found that when I tried to record with fraps, the game really didn't appreciate it unless I limited the capture fps to 29.97 to match the game.

Man the dude is such a fuccboi who knows what he would and wouldn't do. Maybe seduce him and learn his magic for yourself then.

>why do I always have to get new upgrades you're just keeping pace with the game
>why do I always have to get better guns you're just keeping pace with the game
This is a legitimate criticism. Leveling up just to keep pace with the game is pointless. Leveling should be about specialization, you get to choose your characters path. Otherwize your character is on a treadmill.
>Artorias fails to stop the Abyss in New Londo
>All the town is sacrified to keep them under control
>However people praise him and is named the Abysswalker
He DID something in New Londo?
>>123735442
well maybe you should play something other than RPGS and stop complaining? Because all of those things are the definitive parts to an RPG
>>123735578
The Legend of Artorias is a fabrication.
>>123735917
I thought that was to cover up his defeat in Oolacile; he WAS able to walk in the Abyss, his covenant ring is proof of this
Anyone else notice how NPC Phantoms can attack much faster than you ever can unless you cheat?

>>123735875
Or maybe RPGs should remove pointless treadmills and trim their systems? Grinding and busiwork is a needless part of rpgs.
>>123736994
Holy shit. Go play Skyrim or something, kid.
can anyone on PS4 at 2.5M SM help me get my last sunlight medal? I'll help with any non-DLC boss

>let one curse me
>it doesn't disappear
Figures
>>123737049
Treadmill systems are not needed. Leveling should be about specialization, not just getting more stats to keep pace with the game.
>>123736215
play the DLC. He never tried to stop the spread at new londo he only fought the darkwraiths and later made a covenant to walk in the abyss and then left to Oolacile to try and stop it at it's source

What are some good faith weapons? For some reason I thought I could use the chime hammer, but its faggoty hexers.
>>123738709
Crescent Axe, Dragonslayer Spear
>DaS2
lol
>>123738709
lightning archdrake mace
dragonslayer spear
thorned greatsword
bow of want
>>123738709
Anything with base lightning damage on it already. The Heide Spear and Heide Greatlance are pretty good. Don't infuse them with lightning though, just use a gold pine resin or cast sunlight blade on them instead. Trust me, you get more damage that way.
>>123738878
>>123738943
>Dragonslayer Spear
Oh, I forgot that was in this game. Thank you.
>>123739157
Greatlance sounds fun. What happened to hammers being the faithy type weapon though?
>>123739369
Maces are the best PvE weapons for sure but I think it's just a cleric/paladin stereotype to use them. If you are gonna use them, don't infuse them.

Its really insulting to me. Go play bloodborne you dumbasses.
Would you guys say scholar is worth getting on pc? Only have vanilla on ps3, no dlc. Not sure how active the pc one is.
Looking at patch notes they finally fixed the durability bug (in just scholar?)
>>123744496
Its shit, wait for ds3.
>>123744496
It's worth getting if you also plan on buying the DLC
>>123744496

>>123736563
>every npc invader ignores your shield's stability if their weapon bounces off it
you forgot the most annoying one
>>123744672
Are you taking the piss?
>>123744496
If you liked DS2 and haven't played the DLC, I'd say SOTFS is worth it for the DLC alone, really fun stuff. Durability was patched for all versions on PC, and SOTFS is fairly active on PC as well, been getting summoned at a good clip in the last hour (it's most active on weekends, whereas vanilla is dead). You probably won't get invaded much, but you can usually find someone to summon and if YOU want to invade as a red phantom that always finds you a victim real quick.
>>123744635
SOTFS includes the DLC so he's good.
Hah, helped a guy with Fume just now and afterwards received a friend invite from an amusingly named (and very grateful) fellow.
>>123746584
>SOTFS includes the DLC so he's good.
that was my point, yeah
Caught between a rock and a hard place!
>>123746894
Ah my bad, I see what you were saying now.
Will backing up my save get me softbanned? Im on PC, SOTFS.
post covenant ideas for ds3
wayward souls
-uses clouded eye orb to invade in all areas as a faded phantom (think bloodstain images with a misty aura)
-may attack all enemies and the host, but phantoms (red, white, whatever) cannot attack the wayward
-if the host enters bossfog or leaves the area, you go with them
-wayward souls only leave once killed, having bc'd, or having a timer run out
-depending on if you kill the host or assist them, your aura and timer change to a more roiling, stormy mist or a rolling, dense fog
-covenant rewards reflect this, giving different rewards based on kills or assists
>>123747214
Yes. Don't do that.
I want to like DaS II i really do...But i fucking HATE the soul memory system. 2mil SM and can't get summoned anywhere
>>123744554
Just been itching for some coop and after trying 60 fps on a pirated ds2 pc(before sotfs) it's annoying to go back.
>>123744635
>>123744672
>>123746584
I actually tried all the dlcs when pirating to see what 60 fps would be like, but it was a bit empty without jolly coop (or invasions I guess)
I dont really care much about invasions but I enjoy the coop (mainly for helping others)
not sure how much better or worse the experience would be with dlcs and actual multi access. A few of the dlc areas were kind of aids solo (gauntlet to smelter 2.0)
Looking through the changes a bit, it seems petrified hollows are everywhere, as are invisible hollows(?) and a ton of pursuer additions for some reason.
I'm still slightly salty that they nerfed miracles as hard as they did from vanilla launch.
>reading comments on ENB video
>shitload of people thinking Bloodborne and Demon's Souls do not count in the Souls series
I don't understand people
>>123747939
what is agape ring retard
>>123747939
I'm in the SM tier just below you. Drangleic Castle (first bonfire) is pretty much a guaranteed summon area for me at any time of day. Other happening spots are the DLCs, Undead Crypt, and Shrine of Amana, though activity in those areas is more dependent on whether or not it's an active time for the game.
>>123748265
stop defending sm it's a terribly implemented system and everyone agrees
>Decide to play ds2 for the first time even if people say it's shit
>having the time of my life
The only bullshit part i got until now is the no-estus thing but i already got 3 shards and one level up
>>123748612
That was my initial reaction. It honestly gets worse as you go on. The other titles in the series are much better.

>>123749369
Yeah, this is how I felt the first time I played it.
>>123748612
What really bothered me was the world
It's empty, soul-less and uninspired
I cant actually play bloodborne but when I look at the level of details they put in the world design I wonder if they're the same developer that did DS2
>>123749578
They aren't. Miyazaki was working on bb while some fuckoff team made ds2.
>>123749034
It's just kind of flat and anticlimactic in my opinion. Bosses are generally the less challenging part of the game. And even though the areas are generally more grandiose in their design there's no 'wow' moments like when you first make it to anor londo in das1.
I like most of the changes to the gameplay mechanics though. If they can reconcile the good from the last 2 games I think das3 should be pretty awesome.
>>123749034
like for instance shrine of amana. It's just a horribly horribly designed area. It seems to me they asked themselves "Okay how do we make an extremely difficult area" and that was the only thing on their mind when they made it. And the outcome wasn't a difficult area, It was an un-fun, tedious, time consuming and ultimately frustrating area. I mean literally all it is, is you move slow and get bombarded with enemies while getting magic tossed at you ever two seconds

If I wanted to do a Shield Crossbow based build, should I go RoBFlynn? I've heard that flynn's doesn't apply on crossbows, and that infusing the shield crossbow with raw affects the AR bonus on the RoB+2.
Also, does the baneful bird ring's stability increase affect the stability of the shield crossbow when aiming?

Tried that. Died twice when I went to attack.
>poison arrows, ring of fog, combustion, homing soulmass,
Don't have any of those.
>>123752427
I'd say try parrying but you're probably too bad to pull it off. Run up to him, wait till he pulls out his sword and run to the ledge leading back down. He usually either falls to his death or comes there and you can fight him a little easier.
How fast can you get the Uchi in DS2?
Anyone in the 560k sm range on scholar pc down to run shrine of amana?
>>123747525
do area enemies aggro on him? it has too many advantages. maybe monsters should aggro on him rather than on the host/summon at similar distances.

I want a covenant that gives you tools to become a Dungeon Master. I have no clue how or what. I just like the idea of making the game more interesting for those you invade. Whether it's something cruel or kind it doesn't matter, it should be engaging.
Where does one put their dragon eye signs?
PC/SL20.

Don't ignore me rancid swine
>>123752901
yes, its like invading the the abyss in 2
Well I doubt the game will get much cheaper during any christmas sale, so I'll just grab it now.
Time to do my totally original and not lame/overdone as fuck build of power stance the UGS from the wharf. (It's still there in scholar, right?) Kind of excited to try the artorias lefthand sword or the fume/ivory ones, any other notable GS/UGS? Or even normal sword if it's damaging enough. I'm all about the damage.
Might see me co-oping in the next few days unless I hold off till xmas/ds3.
>>123753525
>that moment when I realize you're talking about 2
>>123753525
Literally the generic longsword, and almost any straight sword.
>>123749692
Funny thing is DaS3 is made by the same team that did DaS2 and look how not redirecting its development resources to some console exclusive cashgrab can positively affect the game..
>>123753752
I'll wait till I can play it till I call it positive. The only thing I liked from what I saw so far was the fact that projectiles and swings don't home in on the player.
But the lighting looked like crap, I don't get why they don't use the lighting engine from 1 with the shiny reflections.
>>123753752
The real tragedy is that had sony not bullied them into splitting the studio to rush a release, both bloodborne and das2 wouldve been fantastic.
>>123753752
They can still fuck up. DaS2 still had it's original lighting at this time.
>>123753525
PUGS is the best weapon in the game
>>123753752
miyazaki is also on the team this time around as well
>Find out I have a few poison arrows
>poison one archer

This part is such contrived horse shit. I'm going to have to use a map so I can find out where I have to go.
>>123749769
You just need togit gud
Shrine of Amana is one of the best hallways in the entire series. The other being 5-1.
>>123753706
I'm all about hitting as hard as I can in one hit (barring magic). Always favored it over the faster dex stuff.
>>123753889
PUGS? Why?
>>123753969
>shrine of amana is well designed
nope
>>123754031
People are still really upset about not know how to roll or just having a crossbow one them?
I swear 99% of the bitching about amana is people who refuse to even consider using a different weapon/approach to the game.
>>123749769
>>123753969
No it isn't. It's a showcase for bad level design. Instead of having tight walkways that circle back on themselves to give you the feeling of progression even when you explore a side area, it just has an unnecessary large open area that makes it tedious. It's basically like most shitty triple A games these days where exploring just makes you feel like you're wasting your time and finding useless junk.
>>123754163
>have to tediously watch where your stepping
>takes forever because the water slows you down
>aggroing one sorcerer will aggro the next
theres more but these are the worst.
It's not hard. It's just not fun. At all. It's, as with many MANY part of Dark Souls 2 le difficulty maymay XDDD
>>123753892
You know that miyzaki was DaS2's supervisor who had to approve of the shit that went into the game, right?
He was fine with Soul Memery.
>>123754163
Are you fucking retarded? Nobody here considers it hard. It's just annoying.
>>123754259
Miyazaki took a supervising role for Dark Souls II, due to the parallel development of Bloodborne, which made him unable to direct both titles simultaneously.
Has Miyazaki ever given his opinion on 2? Like is he pleased with how it turned out?
>>123754243
>have to tediously watch where your stepping
You do know the plants are for a reason right?
You go in a straight line from one priestess to the next and never worry about falling into anything.
>takes forever because the water slows you down
Not really, the area isn't all that large, it takes about the same time as most areas in the game.
>aggroing one sorcerer will aggro the next
The issue here being? You kill one move on to the next kill her and keep going, you either stop and snipe them or you keep moving constantly.
It's not difficult not even remotely so.
>>123754259
>wasn't actually directed by miyazaki

DS2 really got the short end of the dev stick

You're a neo gamer aren't you?
There is nothing wrong with hallways as long there is gameplay, which SoA has plenty of.
DaS1 has several hallways as well, like the whole second half of the game, but it's all garbage.
>>123754428
He isn't going to shit talk it publically. He thinks of it the same way you do most likely.
>>123754550

>>123754550
Your pills anon
>>123754616
CHARACTER then, vocab-nazi.
>>123754428
Well he said he like many of the gameplay mechanics and wants to include them in DaS3.
Is the artorias lefthand GS in DS2 any good? I messed around with it just testing moveset (without stats) and it seemed like it COULD be neat, but was hoping someone who has tried it in pve (and maybe pvp) could tell me.
I did a artorias run in ds1 and that was fun, with the spin and the leap was so goddamn good at times.
>>123754630
What the fuck is a neo gamer? A new gamer? Like am I young? No, I'm not. I'm most likely older than you.
There is a lot wrong with hallways, they make boring levels. And a lot of people agree that 1 isn't as strong past Anor Londo because of it. But it's still way better than 2 because of the way areas still tie into each other. Like how you can see the fucking Centipede from Ceaseless fog door ledge because the area is laid out like any real place would be.
Also since you mentioned gameplay, the combat, the movement, the weapon swings and impacts all feel inferior in 2. Even something as simple as running past an enemy feels worse because of the way they act in an almost cartoony fashion rubber banding behind you.
>>123754719
You can always go back to the WoW generals if you don't like it here.
>>123755176
>Also since you mentioned gameplay, the combat, the movement, the weapon swings and impacts all feel inferior in 2. Even something as simple as running past an enemy feels worse because of the way they act in an almost cartoony fashion rubber banding behind you.
Yeah because 2 was actually designed around the gameplay rather than the other way around.
You can't just ignore every enemy and dash to the boss and you can't circlestrafe backstab for ages either.
You are just a shitter that couldn't roll to save his life and is still butthurt over it to this day

Jesus christ anon could you at least watch more of a game than a single webm before commenting?
They start tracking as soon as they are fired, the guy just started moving when it was about to hit him so obviously there is no reason for them to fucking do loops if the target is standing still

even if dark souls 2 was focused on gameplay
the gameplay is worse than dark souls 1
dark souls 2 is literally about relying on i-frames
>>123755165
using it fire infused with a bone fist, it shits out damage
most fun ive had invading
>>123755824
You can successfully play DaS2 pve and pvp without ever dodging. Try that in DaS1.
>>123755843
why fire infused? and the moves are actually useful?
>>123753316
Anyone?
I've had 1 duel since I posted that.
>>123756060
you can win that fight without even fighting :^)
>>123756096
going pyromancy, heavy attacks are garunteed knockdown/stagger if they connect
>>123756060
you can win both games without ever rolling
but pvp is different
in dark souls 2 you'll get phantom hits alot more often
it never usually happens in DaS1
but it happens in every single dark souls 2 pvp match
>>123756172
That still works?
>>123756317
It wasn't a glitch.
>>123756341
Why does he die? Isn't it because he's partially outside of the game world?
>>123756183
>in dark souls 2 you'll get phantom hits alot more often

lol dasdreck lying on /dsg/
Tell me how DaS1's netcode manages to speed up light, so that there is no latency whatsoever.
>>123756439
never usually happens doesn't mean it doesn't happen you idiot
and if you have actually played dark souls 2 pvp you'll know that i-framing trough hits that look nowhere close to you is a part of the meta
>>123756384
We are talking about when you run to the fog gate, right? He runs off the cliff and jumps to the platform to hang on.

>>123756183
In DaS2 pvp blocking actually works..
>>123754503
>it's not difficult not even remotely so.
That's the point, you rectal ravaging bumpirate.
It's NOT difficult, it's a tedious, shitty chore.
>>123756539
>its a rare bug
Every time.
>>123756580
whoops
>>123756583
but why would you ever block in dark souls 2, no one who has spent alot of hours into dark souls 2 pvp never uses a shield for blocking
that's why you see alot of people use shields like tthe cursed bone shield
>>123756174
knockdown/stagger sounds nice. is it viable without infusing? dont know if its default scaling is any good.
>>123756606
>It's NOT difficult, it's a tedious, shitty chore.
Well if you don't like the gameplay then that literally describes the entire game.
>>123756612
are you braindead?
that's not what i said
am i being baited
>>123756580
also, you basically deplete his stamina. with a bks i downed half his hp before he fell, with a +5 halberd i did less than 500 damage. i think it's the number of hits
>>123756539
The fact that you don't understand that it happens in EVERY SINGLE MATCH in DaS1 as well because it's an ONLINE game makes me question that you're even allowed on this board.
pls leave dasboi
>+3 darkwraith already
that was easy
>>123756670
Protip you can attack from behind the shield and it's super effective.

He posts his stuff every day. It's always the same phrases and webms. I think it's the same guy who spams fur kings.
>>123757007
I haven't posted a single webm. I don't care enough about DS1 to save videos of it shitting the bed when its obvious to anyone that has played the game that it does sometimes
And people like that guy will literally deny it happening when you show proof of it so why bother
>>123756662
OHHHH! Now I get it. Cool.
Strange dev choice.
>>123757060
did i never ever deny that it also happens in dark souls 1?
read trough my posts again
>>123757098
Why would I bother
You literally claimed that it happens in every pvp instance of DS2 you don't play the game and our out to just shitpost because it offends you on some deep level. Hyperbole convinces nobody and nobody will take you more seriously if you just make overblown claims.
Who'd have though

That was fun for the whole half a thread it lasted

I dunno why you idiots say this game is more linear than DaS1, this shit is basically Chrono Trigger with how early you can end it. I could technically finish this game without even getting a single Great Soul.

The people who bitch about DS2 don't know about the SM check at shrine of winter
That being said what most reasonable human beings complain about when it comes to linearity is the overall level design, lack of shortcuts etc. rather than the game itself being linear.
>>123761749
that IS a bit edgy. im not killing because killing is the only way i feel anything or because i believe life or others are worthless. i'm killing as a necessary evil. went with darshanath anyway

In the case of havels, it's poison resistance is so low, a single poison knife causes poison.

Any tips for fighting Artorias with a dex build? I've only ever fought him with casters or fuckhuge strength weapons. I have a maxed out iaito but it barely scratches him and I can only get 1 hit off inbetween dodges.
>>123721997
Like DS1, you fill the cursed world with BPs and alternate enemy spawns, but you control a weak enemy within their world so you get to actually watch them struggle.
If they find and kill the weak enemy you control, you get booted back to your world and they have the option to automatically invade you.
If they reach the boss fog, you get booted out and the curse is over.
I dunno, something like that.
>>123767017
Meleeing Artorias is a chore. I had big issues with him on my SL1 run and eventually brought him down with a combo of jump attacks and combustions. I recommend unequiping any shield you have and focus on learning his patterns. He has very annoying RNG stuff like how many times he's gonna do the overhead smash leap which can catch you offguard if you want to get that hit in right after he lands.
At which platform you're going to buy DS3?
On PC i will get nice visuals but smaller shit community with cheaters.
PS4 has paid online and most likely 30 FPS lock but no cheating fuckfaces and generally more activity.
>>123767246
PC because of 60 fps and i don't own a ps4, also PS4 will probably have the better playerbase

I highly doubt that.
>>123767246
Softbans show they're at least trying to figure out anti-cheat. DS3 might be have competent enough cheat detection to be a nonissue.
Besides that, you really only think there are cheaters everywhere in DaS and DaS2 because you're here on 4chan and several notable cheaters posted here constantly. Out in the wild, they're pretty rare.
>>123767505
It's pretty much required to use PS4 now.
Anyone who has at least any interest in online games on ps4 has ps+. And console playerbase is way higher than pc.

Oh please, I can count on a hand how many times I've ran into a blatant cheater in hundreds of hours of play. It's a non-issue.
>>123767551
>Besides that, you really only think there are cheaters everywhere in DaS and DaS2 because you're here on 4chan and several notable cheaters posted here constantly.
I was actually playing in DS1 and DS2 on PC before jumping to PS4 for BB.
Even used metacap and watchdog to see if my opponent is cheater. And there's shitload of fucktards playing with their stats at least, if not giving themselves infinite HP outright.
It sure feels great to not encounter a single cheater in many months of bb's online activity.
>>123767595
>Anyone who has at least any interest in online games on ps4 has ps+. And console playerbase is way higher than pc.
>have to pay every month
>expecting people to stay for long
Yeah, nah, not gonna happen. Even if what you're saying about console playerbase being bigger is true, it's going to change over the course of several months. In half a year the amount of people playing online on consoles will drop significantly, mark my words.
PC is the only way.
to be honest
i really hope they won't add a cheat detection system in DaS3
in dark souls 1 and 2 all you had to do to test a build was start up cheat engine and hack in the gear you needed for the build
i really doubt they are going to add a anticheat system, and i will be glad if it doesn't happen
>>123768028
Even if they do I really doubt it's gonna be a good anti-cheat system.
Would this be a fun build to invade Anal Rodeo with?

>>123767946
People were paying for online for a fuckton of years on shitbox. PC has smaller community regardless of whether or not paid online is required for it.

Do you consolefags play on flatscreen tv's and if so how do you deal with the ridiculous input lag? I played DeS on an actual tv rather than computer monitor for the first time and it was literally unplayable.
>>123768148
i have cheated in dark souls 2 alot
is it true that the cheat detection only detects irregularities in your stats?
>>123768028
They need to:
>implement VAC finally
>implement a good stat sum check system
>remove any possibility of modifying a weapon permanently so it could be saved in your save file like it was with ?pn?
This will get rid of 99% online cheaters with the exception of fucktards so dedicated they will use advanced cheats to bypass VAC. While still allowing you to dupe rare mats offline if you wish.
>>123768150
What input are you possibly expecting?
Fun is entirely subjective.
That said, I would not have any fun with such a shitter build.
>>123768207
Fight the one on the ledge first before jumping down.
From there on in it's an infinitely easier Oreo and Smores.
>>123768397
What fun is there in invading underpowered as hell against coop kids that most likely have "infinite health" solaire buttbuddy?
>actually got killed by a drake sword user
>mfw
>>123768397
>Fight the one on the ledge first
I know i said i'm bad but not THAT bad.
My shield allows me to fuck the first one left and right but even with the summon i can't do it.
I'd say it's because my rapier fucks unarmored enemies, i get anywhere from 75 to 95 damage per hit on those iron bars
>>123768207
Level up ADP if you haven't already. Get agility to 100. Or 105. Those are just the breakpoints.
Use pine resins. You can buy dark ones from Felkin, he has an unlimited supply of those.
Stay on the small platform and for the love of god don't jump down while all three of them are alive.
It's a pretty fucking easy boss though.
>>123768369
Yeah, basically that. Noone's stopping you from giving yourself 99 nashandra souls and stuff like that. Cheated a whole lot in das2 as well, never got to taste Tanimura-san's delicious soft buns.
>>123768306
Not them, but I have all my consoles hooked up to my 2nd monitor.
>love mlgs waifu
>fucking hate magic with a passion
>could go velka talisman and use miracles
>too many stats required and miracles are shit too
Welp
>>123768381
the thing is that
dark souls doesn't have a cheater problem, you will rarely ever meet a cheater
in the past 2000 hours or so i've spent in all the souls games i've only met a few cheaters
there's not alot of them, but you will eventually meet one of them
>>123768624
Yeah, the blunt supremacy train was really cranked up a notch for DaS 2.
You should get the Barbed Club once you progress further, you can twohand it with 10 Str and it has a C scaling in Dex, good for blunt damage.
But damage shouldn't matter because it isn't a DPS race.
>>123768550
>what fun is there in actually having some challenge
>what fun is there in using a unique and creative build
Why do you invade at all, for the rage mail? That doesn't need a specific build.
>>123768678
>Stay on the small platform
If i stay there after i killed the first one will both of them come up or can i separate them?
Also agility is not too bad, i can roll the vertical chops and the shield throw just fine.
My weapons tho are getting their ass handed by the resistances.
Please, show your unique and creative build.inb4 he posts some stupid quality claymore/broadsword build with shit gear and rings on purpose because poise and damage is for scrubs XD AMIRITE?
>>123768974
>If i stay there after i killed the first one will both of them come up or can i separate them?
Only one will jump up, but if you fail to kill him in time I believe second one will join him too.
>>123768974
What's your weapon(s)?
>>123769079
I don't think you know how creativity works, anon.
Original ideas, you know? Something new, of your own creation?
>>123769079
Unique and creative builds ususally are quite sub-optimal, so it's weird of you to bitch about the lack of damage output or poise.
Besides it's hard to make unique and creative builds in DaS1, for obvious reasons.

There is no such thing. The newest idea in dark souls I have seen in the past 2 years is >>123764085 and even then he's just a shitty twop twink in cosplay armor. That's not creativity.
The only creative shit I can think of is something no one has ever done before because it's fucking stupid, like dual whips or dual crossbows, but being fucking stupid and torturing yourself isn't fun.

And how is that build not creativity?
Because it makes use of components in a game that isn't infinite?
>>123766234
Poise was made for people who don't even know how to block. In the end everyone suffered.
It's worse than Soul Memory. Thank goodness all 3 games that followed nerfed that horrible stat to shit.
How does it feel, that even Miyazaki thinks your favourite 'game mechanic' was a mistake?
Hmm?
>>123769998
How is a build that uses MLGS not creativity? I made it with my own mind, I didn't find it off youtube or off someone from here. So it's definitely creative by your retarded definition.
>>123770048
because everyone fucking uses it
>>123770139
And everyone fucking uses TWoP. What's your point?
Why does the rotten's head look like the catarina helm

>>123770048
Because it's one of the most used weapons in the game.
And there's more to the build than just the one weapon.

>>123770198
I have never seen TWoP in PvP, and it hardly ever shows up in build discussions in this general.
>>123769079
Not mine but I'll post a few interesting ones. You can do the GT chain and bleed with this one for example.
>>123770337
>I have never seen TWoP in PvP
that's because most of the dark souls community is autistic enough to have morals in pvp
if you TWOP a dude
you have already won
>>123769387

That fire longsword +3 that you find near the fire lizard
No blunt weapons i guess, any recommendation on what can i pick up at this point in the game?
>>123735578
He sacrificed himself to stop the abyss going farther than it did asshole
>>123770139
Creativity cannot exist in a souls game. The balance is too unbalanced. Any weapon that is worth using is "overused" according to hipsters like you, and any weapon that is "creative" is fucking dogshit. Same with armor and spells. Why play sub-optimally on purpose? Do you also enjoy eating shit? Do you also enjoy playing NG+7 SL1 runs?
I mean, I'd understand if you wanted some low level pvp and you used a good weapon, but you only used +5 or +10, to make your damage slightly lower, but using an unusable weapon like a whip or a axe/greataxe just so you can be a hipster cunt special snowflake is retarded.

Because it's more enjoyable than sperging out over using the flavour of the month and having no variety in combat.
>unusable weapon
There are no unusable weapons, just people who are too used to crutches to learn to play with them.____git gud_____
I finally understand why /dsg/ complains all the time about pvp.
They are all special snowflakes with "creative builds" and whine and cry whenever they can't win using their trash build. Maybe that's why so many people in this shitstain of a general prefer dark 2 where every build is homogenized beyond belief and you can win with claws.
>>123770397
Yay that's my build.
This one is even more vicious. Anyone who knows about DaS netcode would recognize why DaS pvp is a piece of shit.
>>123770637
Yes it is. You don't see bleed focused chain backstab builds that often.
>>123770651

you'll thank me later
>>123770451
Stop using the Fire Longsword, split damage sucks ass
Get yourself a Mace and upgrade it, it's beastly in short order and can easily take you through the entire game.
>>123770850
>You don't see bleed focused chain backstab builds that often.
Nigga, those are half the builds in the game. Either full damage backstab chaining, or bleed spam.

No, the Morning Star doesn't scale well so it's not worth a shit. Just warp back to Majula, buy a Mace from Lenigrast and level it up to +3. It's more than enough for anything at your stage of the game and will hit those armored Sentinels like a truck compared to your fire sword.
>>123771042
Enough damage to kill low levels in one hit. Avelyn would be even better I guess.

>>123771172
You got it, anon. I like to roll anyway, and more Iframes never hurt.
I would like a weapon suggestion though, my mace is starting to slip behind and nothing else is picking up the slack. Is an Ultra Greatsword worth it for the damage/speed ratio? Assume I'll be twinking and still rolling fast.
>>123770757
>Maybe that's why so many people in this shitstain of a general prefer dark 2 where every build is homogenized beyond belief and you can win with claws.

>Enough damage to kill low levels in one hit.
That's not fun. Now, hunting highlevels in the forest and doing 3000dmg per cast with a SL50 is fun.
>>123771320
longsword for versatility
Mastodon Halberd for high damage outputs
i would also recommend the claymore even though it's not the best in its weapon class, it's not a bad choice
but really, for PVE find a weapon with a moveset you like and stick with it
the last playtrough i did of DaS2 i did a RoBFLYNN claymore/longsword build with 40/40 in dex and str
>>123770757
DaS2 pvp is good because you can use whatever you want and still win against good opponents because of skill, provided you don't stick to SL'robflynn'150.

>>123772626
Dont ruin your vidya experience with wikias.
>>123772023
It's due to armors taking more damage from Strike weapons like hammers.
Also, the Mace is fucking fantastic, as we've covered.
How do I beat capra demon? first time player btw.
if anyone could give me a hand on pc it would be great. Im around level 20
>>123773093
Thanks.
>>123773365
Kill the dogs first, dodge its attacks and strike back.
If you want a summon, I can put my sign down but no guarantee you'll see it.
>netcode
>>123773365
When you walk in hold your shield up and walk to the right just a little (don't go too far or you will aggro the second dog). Then after capra and dog attack, roll and get to the stairs, then kill both dogs when they come up and then capra is easy peesy.
I haven't died to capra in the past year.
Newbie here
Why should I keep my humanity high?
Being human allows online interactions, but does higher humanity affect anything? Does higher humanity let you get more drops?
>>123773526
But after I go trough the fog the fucking dogs lunge at me, so I dodge them but the fucking arsehole is also on my back and the places is incredibly small
but I will try again, If you could put your sign down it would be nice indeed, I think that i can see it as long as you´re not too high in lvl
>>123773689
slightly higher dropdrate, defenses, etc.
>>123773689
I think it has to do with your miracles? Im not sure.
>>123773689
Higher humanity gets you more item discovery (so more drops)
It makes chaos weapons and abyss greatsword do more damage
It gives all around defense
It gives curse resist

>>123773365
I can help you but you're better off doing it on your own. Try running up the stairs and then drop on the ledge to the right. That should get Capra off your back and allow you to kill the dogs one by one. Use a shield.
>>123773904

I am trying, I know it would be best if i do it on myself and get better, but this is frustrating, first boss thats taking me so much effort.

I'm SL30 so if you're at least 18 you should be able to see my sign.

>>123776375
It gets better the longer you play.
Get the Mace or Longsword.
ADP is more important than you think.
>>123776375
You press A in front of hidden doors to open them instead of hitting them.
Blunt is the only damage worth caring about.It's pretty poorly designed.
>>123769872
it’s bad. the slots need to be edgy and circles are completely edgeless. try some concave polygons, like rhombusi like rhombus
also, the hp/sp bars still look like shit. if you found some way for the hud to change with the covenant it would be radical, but just making a hud for each covenant is great.

I just reinstalled Dark Souls on STEAM after many years. As I try to open the game, it keeps bringing an error, saying "Can't connect to primary server" (as translated from my native language.)
What does this mean, and how do I fix it?
So were any of the summons you anon? I'm logging off soon.
>>123776003
I still cant see any signs. where did you place yours exactly? this cant be region locked right? Im only seeing red signs no white ones :(
>>123777693
My sign is on the bridge in front of the fog door. I don't think there's a region lock but it's possible that you don't see signs, not all of them are shown at once for obvious reasons. Try quitting and reloading the character.
>>123777553
I tried and and searched but your sign is not showing up, no signs are showing up besides the red ones and Im checking right in front and around of the fog door.
>>123777837
okay will do
>>123777512
pls respond
I just started Dark Souls 2 and everything feels so shit. The controls, the character movement, the attacks.
Why.
>>123777512
Steam a shit, just pirate and play offline.
>>123777963
I changed the sign location on the mid part of the stairs. See if it pops up there. Also I hope you're at least level 18 otherwise it definitely won't show.
>>123778169
Im level 21, im going to check again.

That seems like bullshit to me. It seems like the instant I go over 800k SM I can't find any connections at all, but I can get them all back to back if I try invading at ~500k or under.
>>123779908
Vitality, Endurance, Adaptability and Vigor are the dump stats once you maxed the appropriate weapon scaling stats.
>>123780502
I'm at over 20m SM and I always get invasions and arena matches. So no, it's not bullshit, why would I lie about that?
>>123780376
Got something to say? At 50 faith it does the most damage and has the fastest swing of any sword.
>>123780546
The only things I haven't put points into are int and fth, which are both level 5. I don't like using magic though.
>>123780586
Well for starters the arena has no SM matchmaking, you can duel with an 838 havelhexer and a level 10 agape ring twink right after that. I forget though, does your NG cycle affect matchmaking? If so that's why you can get invasions still, I'm at 2m SM but haven't gone to NG+ yet.
>>123777512
Bump for help!
>>123780502
Normies don't care about twinking.
Not using the agape ring is only a problem once the game is dead when DaS3 comes out because hardcore fans isolated themself.
Sad thing is without the agape ring introduction the pvp would survive DaS3, because of the forced pooling. Elitists ruined the longevity.
>>123780670
Its moveset is complete ass though. Get something better for faith builds like the heide/dragonslayer spear, maybe even powerstance those.

>>123780843
Every stat is usefull for every playstyle in DaS2. Int and Fth give lots of elemental defence until softcapped.
You now remember Helixodons.

The possibility of overshooting the matchmaking range by simply playing the game is the most retarded thing the series has to offer.

I've got the feeling they do it on purpose so there is no other choice than buying the new biyearly release.

how? don't you need the giant kingship for shandra. And the first two dlc entrances are at the primal bonfires, so surely you still have to kill rotten an iron king to access them
>>123778097

Why not block? It amazes me that people simply don't block in DaS2 out of fear of getting guardbroken and elitism. Blocking was the hardcounter to greatbows and powerstanced avelins when still hurt. Blocking is how you make ultra weapons effective against puny speed weps.
Fucking block!!1

Fuck desynch. Daily reminder that a 1hr1 of a desynched katana with stone ring does over 240 poise damage, and it gets even higher when 2handing.

So why were Vendrick, Nashandra and the Looking Glass Knight so huge? Drummond was normal sized, as were all the Syan Knights.
>>123790374
They don't deal damage.
That's what blocking does.
>>123790374
Not only can you backstep out of reach while blocking, you can also blockstun cancel and force a hyperarmor trade with ultra weapons or just do regular shieldpokes with lances and halberds etc.
>>123791152
But what about when you lower and try to swing your slow weapon the they hit you fast for poise damage and fuck your shit up

I'm trying to use the Embraced Armor set with Havel's and RoFaP for fast roll but I'm wondering if this isn't worth whatever poise I'm gaining in exchange for being slow.

>>123817150
I have never seen a BSS knight in the church. Ever. Nor have I ever seen one drop anything other than a rapier.

You are trying to kill a lot of them, and/or most if not all of them are hollow, or assholes. Seath is probably just sort of an asshole.
Although in his defense, you are invading his home and probably trying to kill him. If you don't you let him kill you and stay in his prison forever, or escape and never come back, thus never finishing the game.
To finish the game you need to kill him.
Rinse Wash Repeat.
But yeah, again, most of them are sort of grouchy and/or hollow.
>>123817407
Only the one welding it drop it The ones with the rapier won't drop the BSS. The best spot to grind for one is atop sen's fortress.
When I grind for it I have both 10 humanity and the serpent ring and it never dropped so I said fuck it it's not worth it. Fuck grinding.
>>123817537
>>123817407
Is this the one on the side path between the church and the blacksmith right? I never noticed he had a BSS. Is it just the one guy? I think the rest have rapiers.
>>123817203
what gods and heroes are against you?
>>123817753
Two of the three in the church 1st floor have BSS too.
So it's cannon that the living trees in the Darkroot Garden are Oolacile sorcerers that tried to hide from the abyss using Chameleon, but they've been in hiding for so long that they've lost all senses. The lore in this game, I tell you.
>>123817407
There are 2 BSS knights in the church on the first floor, and a BSS right outside around the corner near the spear hollow. Get good, faggot.

Gwyn, Sif, Quelaag, Ornstein & Smough, maybe Seath. A bunch of the bosses are sane people but they fight you on site anyways. Would have wished the game had at least given a better reasoning. Like they say they are testing whether you're worthy or something.
All the underlings are hollow, so they're just mindlessly trying to guard since that was their job in life, but they don't follow anyone's orders.

no they aren't. only undead go hollow. The serpents from sen's fortress are sane, and the silver knights are probably sane too.

1- the giants and demons disappear when you kill gwynevere's illusion, but the silver knight's don't.
2- the black knights have the same death shimmer as the silver knights.
Souls games should have in-game bestiaries. It would solve so much lore questions.

the armored boars also shine on the same way, a lot of enemies do that

Just make it in a form of dialogue lines with various npcs. Some of them may even warn you about certain strong or weak points of different enemies.And of course some should misinform you about stuff which can potentially lead to your death because dark souls.
What kind of Soul Memory should I have for Grave of Saints? 400-500k SM?
How do you fight silver knights? They're too fast and strong. I've mostly just run away from them so far.
>>123821969
Isn't that a bit too fucking high? You can buy the cat ring from the kitty cat, and that's all you need to visit Grave of Saints.
>>123822006
And running away turns into a gangbang where 6 knights corner me, so this isn't working.

The silver knight that's in the big room before O&S disappears. I think the others don't because the devs didn't think "maybe this guy will run back to this room so for arbitrary reason".

Why doesn't Gwyn just burn himself to link the fire? He's already there
>>123824478
He already burnt away his soul, so he went hollow.
>>123824609
I thought he gave it to 4kids? Why not keep it and burn it
>>123824710
He gave some to seath too, don't forget.
>>123824778
Hell, why didn't HE just gather up everyone else's souls and burn them? Dude was basically the strongest dude who ever lived, killed dragons and didn't afraid of anyone(except humans apparently)
