I find it really funny that maces now have an R1 animation that looks like it belongs on greatswords. Maybe they've finally given up trying to make maces "heavy, strike damage straight swords/axes" and are embracing them as functionally "strike damage greatswords"

They definitely look much more viable this time around than previous games.

You're not quite right, they got a decent hammer moveset with the Tonitrus in BB, but that's too fast for Souls. They just couldn't get a hammer moveset that was slow and heavy enough for Souls, but also not total shit.

The main weakness hammers have in this series is their atrocious range, all of them are terribly short and are completely incapable of doing anything to someone with pokes. If there is a long hammer in DaS3 with the new hammer moveset we might be seeing the first decent pvp hammer.

Knight for first playthrough.
After calculating it would, the high vigor and vitality, with low luck, and balanced other stats (but low int and fai) makes him one of the best for any build but luck builds. That way I can reroll his stats in ng+ to try new stuff, and not be gimped like rerolling a warrior into a sorcerer

Their problem is always having an abysmal moveset and not enough damage to compensate for how slow and clunky they are. They move like stubby greatswords that you can't really quite wield but hit like weaker axes. Never really made sense.

There was a sale about a month ago now, but the recent activity spike is also due to the DaS3 ad campaign and hype pushing a lot of people back to 2. Everyone's picking it up to marathon the souls games in preparation for 3, or else replaying it to abate their souls urges for the next 3 weeks.

Chanting can work in some tracks. It was great in Alonne's theme and the Curse-rotted Greatwood makes good use of it, too.

I just hope they don't saturate the game with it like DeS.

>>135906097
But those are best. I mean, just listen to Dark Souls 3's main theme, it managed to get the best Main Theme in the series going:

Also, Vordt's theme is pretty baller.

I've never been fond of Souls music, so much of it is just generic orchestral stuff that I just turn music off . It makes bosses feel more intense as well, when it's just the sound of attacks being thrown around.

No, because the entire composition is remarkable, and the violins are the strongest point.
If you want to talk about pieces that rely too much on the chanting mention Moon Presence, not Ludwig.

What are all the good invasion spots pre-drangleic castle?

With all this surging activity I figure it's time to throw a twink invader together.
I know Copse, Iron Keep and No-Man's Wharf are all good places to invade at low/middling SM, but where else?

Is there anywhere in Tseldora that I can invade without getting trapped on the wrong side of a point of no return? Does Bastille have any good invasion spots that aren't just going to be hallway fights or games of hide-&-go-seek?

This is from we're talking about familia. They gave throwing objects a slow throw speed in BB.

No one can abuse estus. If they use it you use it, and if you're better with them they will run out first and then you kill them. EZPZ

>>135907868
The bonfire from Pursuer in Bastille is pretty fun. But it's easy to make yourself way too OP and ruin the fun.

>>135907817

No, it's that they're overused and are almost always the central part of the compositions instead of the instruments, that's why they're more promminent that the rest of the song

Nameless King is an Old Monk style pvp invasion boss fight. You hyped yet?

>>135907278
yep i love that one as well, funnily enough the only song i don't really like is the one that happens to sound the most like a dark souls song, the tower knight/penetrator theme

i like the little 'chime' in the maneater theme, you hear it when you first speak to the monumental https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OefcLt1NoZk

The "second part" is a completely different song.
The reason people remember it more is because it's the more memorable part of the fight, and honestly a better song than the first one.
And honestly are the strings the most memorable part of the entire BB soundtrack. I think you just don't like chanting.

He'll also be optional and 99% of players will skip him or do him offline because getting their tushy trounced by a twinked twitch tryhard or CE skiddie won't be worth the effort of whatever's behind him. Within a week, every guide (and thus every player because everybody shitter and faggot is a guide-reader, whether they admit it or not) will insist that it must be avoided or done offline at all costs! and the rate of summons will die out completely.

I really hope Dark Souls 3 has:
-Slower and more punishing movement when you wear really heavy armor
-Armor that actually reduces damage you take enough that you can wield a big two hand sword and not even try to dodge
-Blocking attacks with shields should consume a ton of stamina (videos show shields are easy mode as always)
-More weapons are useful. They do a pretty horrible job balancing weapons
-Magic should require a huge investment in offensive stats to be useful. You should become a glass cannon that dies in 1-2 hits from most boss attacks if you want magic to be useful enough since it's so easy mode
-Nearly every enemy should drop something cool if you farm it enough. Like the Baldur Swag Sword from Dark Souls 1

They could pull this off. The didn't nerf anything in BB(except glitches), instead deciding to buff weaker weapons.

That's never gonna happen. DS has always favored the spellsword.

>>135908739

There's a semi-popular YouTuber who made a "best of" series for most weapons, and the Greatsword was his pick for best UGS. Probably one of the reasons so many fuckheads are using it with no clue how to actually use it.

Plus it's the earliest UGS you can get usually and you can mow through enemies in PvE with it.

Having fights go on for ages because healing items are plentiful and fast to fill to full is boring. You can't punish mistakes as easily and it's a crutch.

SoTFS?
DaS2 matchmaking is based on Soul Memory instead of Soul Level, so that might be an issue if you're under or over the general number for an area.
Sit at the bonfire and see which areas have a gold outline around the portraits, those are the areas for active multiplayer in your bracket(s).
If you're SoTFS, there should be NPC shades scattered around each area, too.

>>135909089
You're wrong, I'm afraid. At the very least, most of the placements make more sense thematically, like the Bandage Pyro from the Bastille being on the ship in the Wharf: he's there to oversee the operation, and suddenly the Pyro flame in the ship has a reason to be there.

>>135908347
It's dated at this point. The game is seven fucking years old and it's starting to show. It's hard playing Bloodborne where movesets are varied and then going back to DeS where some weapons have a whopping 3 fucking moves

>>135908913
The Greatsword was popular long before that. It's the earliest UGS you can acquire, is in an obvious and easy-to-reach location, and is one of the strngest pve strength weapons all around. High damage, strength scaling that lies and tells you its good, big horizontal 1H attacks for easy crowd control while hiding behind a shield, higher-damage 2H chops for fighting bosses and easy targets. It's like the purpose-built "carry my shitter ass through the game" weapon, and players gravitate to it for that reason alone. It helps that it looks like somebody took the FF7 faggotsword and mashed it with the sword from Berserk.

The vast majority of guides you read will tell you to rush for it and use it all game and most of the people who cluelessly fumble around with one in belltowers are following those guides.

>>135908156

It is S. 110% STR scaling, one of the highest scaling weapons in the game.
10% higher than the highest scaling DEX weapons.

It's 100% DEX scaling weapons that "lie" about their scaling.
Ordinary weapons start with 5% weaker scaling at +0, but 100% DEX scaling weapons start with 50%.

People see a weapon with a big base damage and big strength scaling and think "oh wow, strength must make it good"

In reality, scaling is just a small amount of universal flat damage and requires a massive investment to even match the amount you get off of the flat damage rings.

the Greatsword actually has more AR at minimum str/dex and base int/fth when dark infused than it has at 50str when uninfused.

>>135911032

Ludwig's Holy Blade has a longer sword than the Kirkhammer, but both swords essentially have the same moveset.

They will add ludleth and the Oceiros, since they are both of the lords of cinder that were missing on the trailer.

ludleth will be somewhat hidden or look nothing at all like the one in the throne, making it more obvious that the legless midget is a fake

Isn't this shit just placebo? I remember that DL region mattered for fuck all after they turned the pvp region free

You'd think that, but the loss of flavor text is a pretty big deal even in games that aren't story driven.

It's one of the reasons I couldn't really get into MHX despite it not being story driven at all. The dialogue and flavor text really bring a world to life, losing that has a really noticeable impact on enjoyment.

I ordered some digital PSN cards from Play-asia like an hour ago and the codes still haven't appeared. How fucking long do they usually take?

They have to translate the moon digits into a format readable by a human.

>Ciaran
>The nature of humans is to take
>so shall I
>but how...?

What? Gough was a fucking giant super man so I get it, but is Ciaran literally a porcelin doll? Artorias, Ornstein, and Gough were all huge comparatively, where as Ciaran was human size.

Gwyn and his two kids are still bigger than average people size.

I hope she is. thatismyfetish.jpg

Don't bother trying to explain that these metafags, they're more autistic than they claim lorefags are
