Why would you pirate game where half of the fun comes from netplay?

>>138165748
Depends if it uses Denuvo or not. If it does, then there won't be one anytime soon. If it doesn't use it, then day one, as usual.

This game has very little actual content. 13 greatshields, 8 of them recycled from past games.


24 med shields. 20 of them recycled.

First time a new game has a full blown recycled moonlight weapon, no new model or look.

Game smacks of lazy. I hope the dlc is boatloads of entirely new shit and the main game is it for throwbacks.

>>138165951
>using a shield and not 2-handing like a man

>>138165853

No.
Darkmoons are like Blue Sentinel invasions, but the whole rescuing fair maidens gimmick is exclusive to Sentinels.

>No blue eye orb to hunt sinners
>No retribution at all against sinners

For fuck's sake, this game has the most options of all the others as far as I know, I'm not gonna limit myself to two handing the FUGS and being a naked waifu just to be one of the cool kids.

I'm hoping to see lots of absurd invaders like I used to see in Dark Souls 1. That was half the fun.

OK, I've been farming vertebra shackles in the carthus catacombs for an hour now and I've seen one drop. How do I increase my item discovery? I'm already wearing the mimic helm, crystal sage rapier and base gold serpent, I'm only in NG somI can't get the +1 or +2. Is there any way to increase item discovery further without levelling luck? I'm about 100 off max discovery, so I'd have to level it like 40 times. At this point I'm thinking it would be faster to just not play for a few days and just finish every covenant when the servers go live next week.

>>138166228
thank you. The fire keeper heals your sigils, right?

>>138165685
Apparenlty, sorcery is good at around 60-70 Int. Until then, you're better off playing a melee chartacter and respeccing later.

Will joining the Aldritch Faithful ruin Siegward's or Anri's questlines?

so what platform are you bros getting ds3 on? i'm not trying to start a console war but i'm genuinely curious to see what the most popular choice on here is

>>138166493

Yeah, but he's the first real casual filter.

Some of the bosses that are awesome without parrying are pathetic if you parry them to death, similar to Gwyn. Logarius is one. Just don't parry him for a fun fight.

>>138166413
Like hell is there 100 new weapons.

>>138166493
Nope! Gascoigne is the only truly amazing boss until the very end / the DLC.

>>138166306
You know, I'm disappointed that they added all the DaS1 starter armors, apart from the Wanderer set. The Wanderer set was the only one I actually wanted to return.

>>138166263
>implying
you could throw less beams with ds1 and ds2 mlgs before it broke. in ds2 after 8 beams the weapons broke. in ds1 after ~10. here with 6 beams the sword goes from ~60% dur to ~25%

>>138166606
But logarius buffs himself to be immune to parries against shitters

>>138165743
I don't think they are fucked at all. From what I have seen they work similar to the scaling in BB, where weapons with scaling based on those stats scale like other weapons (to 40 or 50), but to get the most out of the spells you need more than that, something like 70 in the relevant stat.

Playing Scholar of the First Sin PS4 port, here. Can't use a fucking cracked red eye orb or my white soapstone anywhere. I'm human, far away from any bonfires.

Game is updated to the latest version. Restarting the game did nothing.

>>138166263
why is that a bad thing? the fact that it consumes durability instead of FP means you can stack tons of them in your inventory and swap yours out when it's about to break like in DaS1


the actual problem with the weapon is that sucks shit and has C scaling in int

>>138166654

Yeah, but if you parry him the first half, you basically get him down to half health with no real danger. Then if you manage to stun him out of his buff, you can still parry him and only have to deal with his sword lasers on top of his melee

>>138166283
Well I understand the joke, though personally I find combat with shields boring and prefer playing armored dudes while 2 handing a straight sword or a greatsword. I am familiar with a lot of waifu fags tho.

>>138166643
I have a wind shooting spear in dark souls 3 that lets me shoot its special unlimited every 2 seconds because of the Simple infused shield in my left hand and the fact that weapon arts work even if you only have 1 FP point.

Yeah.

You just kill Emma and initiate the Dancer. Summom the Sword Master to solo the Dancer for you. I think it only works if you summon him once, homeward bone out of the boss room, then summon him again. For some reason, the Dancer can't even tickle him the second time. He'll eventually bleed her out.

>>138168651
Isn't that a glitch ? He doesn't take any damage from the Dancer.

>>138168543
conserve resources during the first one, she's easy. don't jump down once you kill her, buff with what you have and wait for the second to jump up. get her as low as possible and jump only after the third has jumped. or if you're feeling manly, plunge attack her when she goes up to the the platform ready to jump up. don't lock on

Here's something copypasted from a few threads ago.

>He appears to be part of the same light aligned god-race as Gwyn's brood. He's a native to Irithyll who went power mad when he discovered the Profaned Flame, and decided that he needed to control everything in his power to control. He, despite being a secular sorcerer, weaseled his way into the seat of Pontiff, the highest position god-men not of Gwyn's line might attain. He used this position to syncretize the religion and therefore Irithyll's entire regime with the Deep religion of the former Lloydists, and fed Gwyndolin to Saint Aldritch to get him out of the way. His loyalty to Aldrich is doubtful.

>The human vassals of the Irithyllians were reduced to slaves, and deeply hollowed. The Holy Knights were consumed by Chaos, and became witches. The old handmaids of Gwynevere became dancers for his amusement. The common soldiery- assuming that there is a distinction between the former Holy Knights and the Pontiff Knights- were ordained as 'knights' in order to serve as the Pontiff's executioners, a gendarmerie to root out all dissent. Any that resisted this course or merely displeased Sulyvahn were banished as Outrider Knights and given rings enchanted with black sorcery, that they might be driven mad to bring ruin to the outside world. Eventually, they would degenerate into the watchdog beasts.

>Sulyvahn is so especially villainous because he wasn't corrupted by any malign force, wasn't deceived by creatures of the Abyss, nor did he undertake extreme actions for righteous cause, nor was cursed by a fatal flaw. He merely craved power above all else after the barest touch of the Chaos Flame, drowning himself in Dark to attain ever more of it. Not for any higher purpose, but merely to satisfy his ego, his cruelty and his vices. Sulyvahn's tragedy lay in his rise, rather than a fall from grace.

You are supposed to do that in a fight club, especially at the beginning of the fight, but not in an invasion.

>>138170086
Pyro is the only magic type in the game that's viable at lower levels, dragon form is an improvement over DS1, boss weapons are some of the least boring in the entire game, and one less covenant rank is hardly a thing to be pissed off about.

The rest is basically true, though.

You can save character appearances, right? I really liked that in BB because you could have a look at the actual ingame lighting that way.

The cleric/whatever starts with that blue set.

There's a gigantic hump on the armour piece, and the character starts with a mace you need to two hand to engage the battle art, putting your starter shield on your back, resulting in awful clipping of insane proportions.

They clearly didn't even fucking play their own game as their own classes. Every Fromsoft employee probably ran as a Knight and Pyro.

Would make alot of things make sense.

>>138170607
Why would you do that, Yoel is a cool guy.
Memeing aside, yes, he will show up at Yhorm regardless of the amount of phantoms.

>>138170656
Obviously, you're supposed to power up while they power up. That's the most anime thing to do.

Alternatively, if you see what they're buffing with, use the elemental resistance item to buff against it. It is maximum comedy if they complain then.

>>138170698
You want agility, which you gain by putting points into adaptability (and attunement, to a lesser extent). I recommend going 99, go to 100 if you backstep a lot.

If you're a Blade of the Darkmoon can you invade using the Red Eye Orb as a Blue Phantom?

Also any difference at all between it and Blue Sentinels?

>>138170656
Ironically, they are the scrub. They are just calling you one because they treat it like a random insult after being called one so many times.

The decided in their own head that attacking people while they buff is "cheap." It's like the people in fighting games that think throwing is cheap.

The only souls game that had a "let them buff" etiquette was DeS, and that's only because the meta assumed that everyone would buff, even if just with second chance. From DaS1 on, we moved away from everyone buffs, so there is no reason to allow buffs as a matter of course. You can still buff if you like, but it is on you to get them off safely.

>>138169579
so nobody uses the mace? not even just to mess around with it and test its viability in pvp?

>Invade

>>138170852
They patched it at some point (I think with scholar?) so it's not twice as fast anymore. You can also grab bracing knuckle rings throughout the game, those give 20%, ??% and 50% less durability use, iirc. They used to be in Bastille, bought from the ghost at the castle and in the crypt, not sure if they're all still in the same spots.

Mace is not a straightsword, estoc, katana or UGS. So yes, no one.

>>138170948
tfw he killed katanaguy on his first try

Honestly, the level design in this game isn't good. It's incredibly lackluster compared to DaS1.

Take the New Catacombs for instance. It's literally a box map. It's just corridors, big rectangles. The lava area is a copy pasta of this with a red tileset.

The swamp is just a round room with water in it all at one height. Bloodborne's Forbidden Woods is so much larger and has so much more terrain variation it's scary.

Lothric is okay, but even then, it's all very much a straight shoot.

Irithyl Dungeon, compared to Latria, again, a joke. Like 2 floors, 2 sides.

There is nothing in this game, level design wise, on the scale of anything from Demon's Souls or the best of DaS1. Shrine of Storms is a fucking masterpiece compared to what we've been given.

Archdragon Peak is the only area in the game that is actually good, but they wasted the level design on dumb bossfight, and then a lazy teleport up to the rest of the level, which turns into another bunch of copy pasta corridoors.

All the locations, when you actually run through them, are incredibly small and nothings really stopping you.

Try legging it through Shrine of Storms or Valley of Defilement ignoring the enemies and see what happens to you.

I cannot believe this shit. I actually cannot. It "looks" nice, there's lots of detail, but it's actually less detailed to me because it feels so "made" and box mappy and segregated yet stitched together like the segments of a long centipede of level design.

Was Demon's level design a fluke or did they straight up fire their best guys after that game released or something?

Absolutely false.
iframes begin on the first frame of the rolling animation. There is nothing mechanically that adjusts when iframes start, only when they end. If for some reason they aren't in >>138170698, the most likely culprit is some sort of issue with frame counting and an unlocked framerate.

But this was way better. You couldn't roll properly in the poison, and there was a series of walkways that funnelled you and you had to deal with tough enemies, eventually arriving at a labyrinth clusterfuck of wood shit everywhere.

The poison joint in DaS 3 is like a quarter the size of this, a completely round circle, with 3 copy pasta identical platforms with towers and you can just roll spam through the entire zone. It doesn't feel organic.

The shape of 5-2 just looks organic. Look at it.

Aside from Painted World and Catacombs, DaS1 was the one lacking. It's the World Design that shined.
DaS3 is too flat though, yes.

WHERE IS DUSK'S SET

>Was Demon's level design a fluke or did they straight up fire their best guys after that game released or something?

DeS had different goals for its design philosophy. Every block had only a single Archstone that it had to wind back to and only worried about connecting inwardly to itself.

DaS was given more freedom to place bonfires, and so cared slightly less about tightening up the levels around the bonfire. However, it approached the open world with a fervor and the connection between maps was prioritized. However, you can feel the exact moment free warping between bonfires, coupled with the pressure of the release date, broke their resolve.

Restriction breeds creativity. DaS2, and even DaS3 show what giving free transport between bonfires and the power to place as many bonfires as they felt necessary did to level design.

I did my first no death run on a spellcaster because there's almost nothing that poses a thread when you can pewpew it to death from a distance. Being able to shit out more DPS by actually needing to get into melee range makes more sense.
>>138171564
Despite the other one being more accurate, I just love the crudely drawn one way more.

Fucking THIS.

I have tried SO MANY TIMES to gravity kill hosts and do all sorts of shit and I swear to god they PERFECTLY designed the level so I JUST can't see to make a bow shot etc.

I pushed people off the fucking bridge in the catacombs with the wind spear, and they simply fell forward and down to the bottom to where you enter the izalith area, survived the fall damage, climbed the bridge ladder up and all 3 fucked me.

Again, the silver knight archers. Same shit, knocked a guy off the platform, lo and behold, there's a platform down there to catch their ass and send them up.

All these areas where you think a gravity kill or a bow snipe could be a thing, and the level design is made in just such a way that it fucks me out of it.

The Grand Archives is an absolute cuckfest as an invader. You get ahead to try and get an advantage, but...you can't. The way the platforms, the railings are, you just can't get a hit on someone. There's no where to send them falling to their death.

>>138171657
Yep, warp from the start killed good area design.

Who is the most tragic figure in the entire series? My nomination is Seigmeyer.

So I just found out from a friend that DkS1 isn't corrupted by GWFL anylonger, and enjoying the fuck out of it.
Wanting to go from DkS1-2 until DkS3 is released (prolly will take a bit longer than the rest of the days).

Now, Chapra Demon.. I just got to this fucker again, am I the only one who thinks he's one of the worst designs of a boss? I love the music during the fight, but fuck this boss is badly designed.

First time experience, get jumped and die within a few seconds due to stunlocks.
Second entrance, die to either horrible camera or a dog gets a lucky hit on you from the side/back and you're in stunlock paradise again.

Strategy involved going up stairs over and over again.

I don't know man, I just think this is the worst boss in the entire game.

DeS shows that isn't necessarily true, and Bloodborne managed to account for it very well. The real problem is free warping AND freely placed bonfires. Having any number of checkpoints means the bonfires are the checkpoints instead of shortcuts back to the archstone.

I just fought a guy that randomly kept getting hit. Like he'd be standing there then suddenly he'd be in the hit stun animation and be taking damage.

What the fuck happened? Was he hacking himself?

>>138171981
That's my issue with him, he's literally easy to fight, but he's so trial and error with the dogs.
I just think it's the worst fight in the entire game.

With that they could easily implement day/night and weather changes without the time is convoluted nonsense in future titles.
