I guess the burning part would imply that, but surely the fact that you can only burn it in Majula, and that it applies the +X to the item name would've been enough?

I sincerely hope all the cool spells from bloodborne get reprised in DaS3 in some way. Some of them are a given, Accursed Brew is basically DaS1's Great Fireball (and fucking amazing for it), Tiny Tontitrus is just a shitty version of Fire Snake, Blacksky Eye is just a faster soul arrow, etc.

But I would love for something comparable to the Madaras Whistle, A Call Beyond or hell, even Auger of Ebi. BB had a lot of functionally unique and really fun spells that would be amazing in the souls magic system.

I'm with you on that. I love the BB spells, and dark souls could really use some more unique spells. DaS2 was a step in the right direction, but the actually cool spells were not viable enough to replace the go in a line to deal damage bullet shit.

There is a high chance, with them reusing the BB engine and all. It'd be a shame if they let all those neat things the BB engine and designers pulled off go to waste.

>>135621732
Start Knight and see what works. Knight has the lowest Luck, and that's the most likely dump stat.

I'll probably just raise Str/Dex enough for weapon requirements until I can try out some weapons and see if it's worth raising scaling stats once I get the items for Sharp/Heavy upgrade paths. If scaling is actually worthwhile, I'll probably go Dex unless there are some Str weapons I really like.

For spells/pyro/miracles, I'll wait and see if there's anything broken or overpowered before I decide. I'm kinda hoping there may be some DeS type spells, such as Curse Weapon or Second Chance, given the strong DeS vibe that the game gives off.

>>135622291

>>135622159
Just thinking of how they could implement some of them is really exciting
You could turn Madaras whistle into a pyromancy where a pillar of flame erupts from underneath the caster and can friendly-fire, just like the whistle. Or, you could have it be a hex and make some kind of abyssal thing burst from the ground.

Hell, you could rename the Auger to just "Hand of Manus" as a hex and have it just summon a portal where the stretchy hand shoots out and punch whatever's in front of you.

I was thinking more of an auto-triggering Lingering Flame with a bigger explosion for the whistle, but i suppose that sounds a little generic. I feel flame pillar is a little overdone, considering we'll likely have many Firestorm variations again, but hell.

What's the verdict so far on how Poise will work in DS3?

Has anyone playing the Knight in the early versions confirmed that poise actually works when not attacking? Has it been tested against real invaders in the network test or NPC invaders in the early build?

With armor not being upgradable, it seems like poise will be the only major reason to wear it. If poise is gimped like in DaS2, I can't see how heavy armor would be worth using at all.

>>135623149

ASS is one.

How stingy do you think they'll be with titanite this time? One thing that I actually liked about DaS2 was being able to upgrade and test out a lot of weapons.

>>135623364
It appears as though all defenses this time around have both a flat and %-based component, so armor is going to matter a fair bit, even if it's just to let you survive a few extra hits.

As for poise, I don't have any videos on hand but I have definitely seen characters resist stagger while in neutral.

It's worth pointing out that all of the poise-based WAs like the stomp and the buff seem to be almost completely unstaggerable, so they probably don't actually work around poise and are functionally more or less just DaS1 iron flesh.

>>135623295

>>135623513

>With armor not being upgradable, it seems like poise will be the only major reason to wear it. If poise is gimped like in DaS2, I can't see how heavy armor would be worth using at all.

Just because armor won't be upgradable, doesn't mean that defence is shit.

>>135623684
I dont know, but they better not have like 387 slabs per chunk like das2. That triggered my autism having 17 slabs with like no chunks.

You can say whatever you want about DS2, but fuck, I love Aldia's dialogue so much.

I don't like the game that much, but this guy alone makes me feel glad I played SOTFS.

>>135623684
The Titanite drops from enemies were pretty common in the footage I've seen.

>>135623513
Do you have anything that shows the weapon art?

>>135623684
>One thing that I actually liked about DaS2 was being able to upgrade and test out a lot of weapons.
DaS2 was horrible with titanite early on. The endgame was nice if you used Bonfire Ascetics at least.

Personally, I'm hoping they go with something like BB's insight shop, but with Titanite Slabs available as well, even if they cost the equivalent of 99 humanity/insight. Being able to buy endgame upgrade items with some sort of covenant reward items would be fantastic.

>>135623684
Since they keep bragging about 200 weapons being in the game, the upgrade materials better be common.

>>135624042
Stance: same as LS

Why is the Murakumo not in the confirmed weapon list? any webms of it?

>>135623684
>>135623856
I really hope they spread the stuff out and have less slabs.

I mean the fact i can have a +10 weapon by running lost sinner+freja path first feels kinda fast for a maxed weapon.

Maybe i am just a masochist who wants hp sponges, but it felt weird.

MOONLIGHT SWORD LEAKED

AND IT IS GLORIOUS ONCE AGAIN

>>135623684
They'll probably go the 2 route with it.
Areas meant to be faced with a +1 - +3 weapon will drop scarce titanite and then dump a whole tonne of it on you near the end, or near the beginning of the next area, enough to make multiple +3s. Areas meant for +4 - +6 will do the same with large shards and so on.

I imagine you'll be able to buy an unl;imited number of chunks and below at a vendor by the end of the game, but slabs will probably have a specific and more difficult method of being acquired, like being a covenant reward per every ~50 covenant items or something.

Twinkling titanite will probably be limited and only give you enough for 2 weapons per playthrough, but have a few areas where you can farm them at a tediously low droprate.

You'll only encounter enough jumbo crystal lizards to upgrade a single boss weapon, but there'll be a respawning one somewhere near the end of the game that can be farmed at a glacial pace to upgrade more.

The DLC areas will dump both unique upgrade materials on you in obscene numbers, allowing you to upgrade another 3-4 unique weapons each and effectively obviating the need to farm at all.

In DaS2, I felt that the overabundance of upgrade items were balanced by the incredible amount of weapons you get as well as all the mobs of enemies you have to fight. When a bunch of strong enemies are ramming your ass, you want a strong weapon.

I enjoy the amped up difficulty as I thought DS1 was too easy for me. The penalties over death and limited farming contribute to strategic thinking. Overwhelming enemy encounters can be overcome by intuitive thinking, positioning and usage of the environment around you.

Weapons are much more varied and more fun to use too. In DS1 I only like about 3 or 4 weapons, there's a bunch of good stuff in DS2. Also, great looking armors.

Also, actual CAPES. Silver Knight set was my favorite from DS1 but the cardboard cape always put me down. I wish it came back, but Drakeblood is awesome too

Exactly how much does the JP version of DS3 cost on PSN?

DeS has nice lighting and aesthetics. Also has the best animations IMO. Sure it doesn't have billions of polygons in the armor/models, but it is a lot more pleasing on the eyes than DaS2 is. DaS2 seriously gives me a headache after playing for an hour or two.

>>135627150
Nice bullshot friend. Most of the time the game looks like a higher-res PS2 game and character animations are lethargic.

>>135627025
The salt tears from sorcerers would flood the earth. But really though there is no way it's happening. It's been established in the souls series as a Seath/Magic weapon through and through. Magic is connected to the Moon and Faith is connected to the Sun. It's why DMB is magic damage despite being a mircale.

Drangleic castle has no art direction at all, it's just square rooms.
It doesn't even look like an inhabitable place.

This still looks better than all DeS animations. Speciall the shield raising instance in DeS looks awful.

That would be a PS3 game, yes.

>>135627261
Shrine of Amana and the outside of Drangleic Castle were about it. The rest of those are generic or horribly designed.

>>135627592
One good boss arena doesn't equal great art direction in the whole game. Also the interior of Drangleic was hideous.

Guys, there are no benefits other than the season pass to the deluxe edition of DaS3? And the expansion won't come out for a couple of months most prob. So I am safe buying the standard edition?

DeS had the best animations though. that's why a lot of them were reused for DaS1. Like DaS1's hornet ripostes and backstabs were DeS's normal bs/riposte animations. You could also transition r1s into r2s and vice versa pretty smoothly.

People think it's the Witch creating chaos because
A: Aldia is a big fiery tree that looks like he's right out of the bed of chaos
B: The "Lost Sinner's" sin was trying to do what the witch did, do there's already precedent for messing with chaos being a sin, and is actually the only other ingame reference to sinning at all.

It's hard to say because none of Aldia's dialogue has anything to do with chaos and all he talks about is life is a lie and the lord of light and shit.

Leechmonger and Dirty collosus arent all that generic but they're almost fucking copies of each other visually. Old hero's design is piss poor, fire beast or whatever the fuck his name is is just a generic demon. Penetrator is a generic knight that gets his shit kicked in by an npc.

I have never seen a old zombie king, a face within a frog, or a knight with a shield that summons other kinghts. demon's souls is bland as fuck.

>>135628325
Nice. I can cherrypick and oversimplify designs too.
Meanwhile in DaS2 we have:

>Knight in armor
>Knight in armor
>3 Knights in armor
>Ornstein 2
>Bell Gargoyles 2
>Big Rat
>Big Spider
>Big Scorpion
>Fire Demon
>Fire Knight in armor
>Shit monster with a cleaver
>Etc.

I'd also like the point out that a number of the designs you criticised appear in DaS2 as well or otherwise have some equivalent, which is even worse being that it was the third game in the series while Demon's was the first.

The outside of Drangleic Castle makes you think it's gonna be good but then you get inside and it's 12-year-old's-Unity-game-demo-tier

Forest of Fallen Giants is like they tried to re-create the magic of Undead Burg but they forgot that the Undead Parish was the actually-pretty place - they ripped off the wrong level lel

The not-Blighttown looked like some kinda big giant carpentry class and the area below it was just "It's a cave... but GREEN!"

Harvest Valley / Earthen Peak was another "good idea, bad execution" thing that looks like an undifferentiated desaturated green and brown mess.

Hunters Copse was actually alright. Pretty generic but not actively bad in any way, just "okay."

Yeah, yeah. Lets just get this dirty stuff over with.

>>135629147
>only area in dark souls that can even come close to competing is ash lake

What the fuck.

Ash Lake is boring and empty.
At least say Anor Londo or Painted World.

Are twinblades confirmed?

>>135629528
The maneaters fight is pretty different than the gargs. Like, their move-sets are completely different and you're on a smallish bridge which hinders your ability to run around a lot. Oh, and the maneaters actually fly.

>>135629728
There is one more !.

Any JP pre-orders here?

Wondering if the release is midnight Japan? If so, is that your equivalent time-zone? example 3pm GMT? (23rd)

>people just casually walk behind me and backstab me in DaS1

how do i stop it??? i can only counter strafe in the other direction for so long.

>>135629907
dont lock on.

>>135629837

Oh, thanks.

>>135629907
back and and to the left for a counter bs

>>135629658
to be fair i felt the exact same way about 1-2 in DeS

>>135629892
Yea it's midnight Japan. It releases at 11 EST here so will be making my character and doing the starting stuff while I eat lunch.

>>135630032

Don't you feel enticed?

>>135629837
It's the only weapon class that hasn't been confirmed yet. The mercenary's starting curved swords are called "Twin Blades" which makes me think that actual twinblades probably won't be making a return.

>>135618835
Just wait. It was £20 back in November. Now it's £30 and rising. I'm going to wait until close to release, surely it'll drop down a little then.

How many estus do you guys think should be the max this time?
In DaS it was 20 if you fully kindled a bonfire
In DaS 2 it was 12
In BB it was 32 with the best runes, but since no one used those, it was generally 20

Considering you now have x flasks you manually divide between ash and fire, how many do you think it should give? I personally think a 15 or 20 would be ideal. That way, at max and split evenly, you have somewhere between 7-10 each bonfire, but if you choose to use more estus for a hard part / boss you have the option of going up to the higher number of drinks.

>>135630148
because people like you filter me for no reason

>>135630151
butifel

>>135630041
is that an estoc?

>>135630090
Yea, I think I disliked 1-2 more than 5-1/5-2 desu. Linear corridor with the retarded double attack dogs of DeS was ridiculous too.

>>135630041
>techniques
yeah more like how to abuse bugs lmao

>>135630231
yes
estoc bestoc

The beauty of Dark Souls 2... Absolutely breathtaking...

>>135629805
>Lets just get this dirty stuff over with.

Whore.

>>135630202
That response is the epitome of "GIVE ME ATTENTION"

>>135630202
>no reason
We'll just filter you again.

>>135630181
We have seen a pure Vig, low Att character with 12 estus flasks at +6. So unless he had 8 ash flasks and they weren't on his quick-select then it's 6/6 each or twelve of one type.

I was personally hoping for 10/10.

>>135630392
Rude.

w/r/t Dark Souls 2 bosses: I think the Ruin Sentinels and the Throne Watcher / Defender fight are perfect examples of bland and pointless bosses. Why are they in the game?

>>135630393
