Since other thread is bump limit, I'll repost here;
So DaS3 is my first Souls game that I got at the behest of friends. Read the lore for the previous games up until. Correct me where I'm wrong

>The world was created, though never explained how. Through inexplicable events it became a grey, ashen world inhabited by dragons and crag trees.
>At some point, the First Flame appeared, either having always been there, or being discovered by creatures from the dark.
>In the Flame were the Souls of Lords, powerful souls that sustained the flame and gave its bearers godlike power
>From this, the first gods were born, who used that power to take the surface world from the dragons and shape it as they desired.
>The final Soul of Lords, which was little more than an ember, was discovered by the Furtive Pygmy and led to the birth of humanity
>However, in taken the Souls of Lords, the the First Flame was weakened and slowly began to fade.
>To prevent the Age of Darkness, in which the Souls of Lords would fail and humanity would take over, but lead eventually to the end of the world, Gwyn sacrifice himself to link the fire and rekindle it once more, becoming the first Lord of Cinder and losing his godhood.
>The first DaS game takes place well after this, as the flame begins to fade again and the Chosen Undead repeats Gwyn's actions, becoming another lord of cinder.
>Repeat this several times over, and we're now in DaS3, where the fire linking no longer works, and the Unkindled must gather all the Lords of Cinder back to their thrones, open the way to the first Lord of Cinder (Which is now the Chosen Undead) and somehow permanently rekindle the First Flame

I'm probably missing a shitload of lore, but thats the best I've gathered so far.

I will go ahead and say that Knight type enemies are probably the most bullshit enemies in the game. The damage and speed of shield bashes is fucking stupid. It's literally their most dangerous attack. Their tracking and 180 degree pivot attacks are also super obnoxious.

If players had the ability to shield bash for that kind of stamina damage or with that speed nobody would be bitching about havel estocs. But it's so bullshit they can't let the player do it.

It's really strange how pure faith users get fuck and all offensively until near the end of the game. Then all you really have is Lightning because Blessed is hot garbage and you better be using a Longsword because everything else scales ass with it. Hope you don't plan on using miracles either because the fall-off is super-massive on lightning spears and you need to be fisting their asshole to do decent damage which defeats the whole fucking point.

One thing that may help: keep your distance, even if it's just walking to the side and away from him. The more you see how he attacks the more likely you are to anticipate them. Don't worry about strictly hitting him at first. Just focus on his pattern and hit when you know he's vulnerable (and you will find out). Don't blow your stamina load either, just in case you need to get out of the way.

No, the netcode and infrastructure is simply shit.
Dark Souls 2, everything worked flawlessly. If you had a failed summoning, you'd be told within 3 seconds. You could drop a sign on release day and become summoned a literal second afterwards if you were lucky.

It's the exact-100%-same broken netcode as Dark Souls 1 had, where summon signs are timed out but left on the servers anyways.

Does anyone want to explain why this is so prevalent in Dark Souls 3? Enemies have massive fucking combos that will kill you if even two hits land and getting hit by one will stun you long enough for a second hit to land. So you end up just sitting there waiting for their fucking Ultra Combo to finish before you stunlock them to death with your longsword.

Um, what did you expect?

You are too high level for the area you are in. People usually arrive at undead settlement after killing Vorte and maybe leveling up 3 or so times after Firelink (on PS4 anyway).

Here I'll make it simple for you.

01 - 15: Lothric
15 - 20: Undead Settlement
20 - 30: Swamp/Forest
30 - 40: Catacombs/Izalith
40 - 50: Disneyland
45 - 55: Anal Rodeo
45 - 55: Irithyl Dungeon/Yhorm
55 - 65: Dancer/Dragonfucker
65 - 75: Spooky Bookshop
75+ Lothric Gaytwins
80+ Soul of Cinder

BONUS
65+ Shrine of Storms 2.0

PC idiots seem to be farming the ever living shit out of everything so they seem to be like 15 levels higher in every zone than they should be.

You're supposed to only really use souls from bosses and souls you find + killing regular enemies through a couple run throughs of the area. It sounds like PC players are actually farming to level up.

If it's your first souls game, then yes, a lot of people know your pain. You should've seen the sheer amount of bloodstains in Dark Souls 2 of all fucking things at launch. The easiest goddamned souls game and most of the buyers got themselves killed in ways that I can't comprehend.
If you want, get Dark Souls and try your hand at that.
I have no idea how hard DS3 is, but a lot of people cut their teeth on Dark Souls 1.

>Is the Butcher Knife a good STR weapon
It's a surprisingly light and fast axe that deals massive stamina damage and has a healing WA which gives you back like 50 HP on each hit.
Literally the only bad thing about it is that it has shit hyperarmor.

In fact you can use both it and UGS at the same time as they compensate for weaknesses of each other.

What are you having issues with? 2nd form? See what this anon said >>138583292. Find out his patterns. The first form has very simple patterns. Keep your distance and roll away and hit him when you get the chance. For the second form, stay close to him and just mash at him.

This dark souls is almost as easy as 2. I'm in frozen anal rodeo, and I've died 4 times. 2 deaths were from rolling off an edge.

It showed up towards the end of DaS2 as well. Fucking Drakekeepers, especially the great mace fags.
>>
>>138583507
this is my theory:

in des/das/das2 there was always a handful of enemies/bosses that were extremely fast and aggressive. Because they were different than other enemies/bosses and forced players to use a different play style, they were considered hard/challenging bosses.

In DaS3 they went and said "what if we make every fucking enemy like that? Prepare to die Xddd"

either that or they wanted to gofast like BB but forgot to make the players sanic too.

As for the "nopoise" thing, well fromsoft is just retarded and is literally incapable of learning from past mistakes
>>
>>138583727
Not even him, I thought weapon tiers had higher priority over SL. There's not much point to that restriction this way.
>>
>>138583581
The difference was in Bloodborne you had a lot more mobility and could dodge in to attack. A lot of enemies feel like they were literally taken from a DLC area that never was and thrown into Dark Souls 3 without accounting for the fact that the player can't move like they did in bloodborne. So it seems like you are just sitting on your thumbs waiting for blender to stop because you can't get in there without getting caught up in it.

Wrong. +3 is fine for settlement. It goes by upgrade type.

30 is too high. That level does not make sense for the area, as even a host beating Greatwood (which would kill all PVP) still wouldn't normally amass enough souls to be 30.

He's too high.

Consider changing class?

Bring firebombs or be a pyro; the second form can be gutted down to almost dead by spamming fire at it as it transforms

>first form
Get a hit in when he wakes up. Stay close to him. Roll into his attack, he'll whiff and you.ll be behind him for a hit or two.
Repeat until he turns into Wesker.

Then fire him to almost dead when he transforms, if you're panicked by Wesker mode run away but watch him as he'll jump attack you and you need to dodge. THen just get in on him and hit him a couple times.

You can kill him in like 10 hits, so you need to work on avoiding damage and your timing

I have to admit, I don't know why but it's apparently just not that good. I compared it to my one, which is very far away from being an amazing CPU, and it sounds pretty bad compared to mine even though it's the same number of cores and mine's only 3.2.

http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/361/AMD_FX-Series_FX-4350_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-6500.html

Talking of mine compared to that one:
> The processor is 48% faster in single-threaded tasks.
>Multi-threaded performance of the CPU is higher (70% faster)
>In memory-intensive applications, the microprocessor is 23% faster.

Mine does cost $200, though. Still, if mine is just "okay" and it's THAT much better than that one you're looking at... well, I'd avoid it
>>
So what's the point where you should stop leveling stuff like health, str/dex, or endurance due to diminishing returns? Is it around 40-ish again?
>>
>>138583850
Weapon teirs only matter after SL.

You still need to be in their soul level range, but you just can't be using a better upgraded weapon for that range than them.

+3 is fine to invade even SL10's. Shards can and do drop from enemies in the first zone.

It's when Large Shards start coming in where a gating off happens.

Consoles had the luxury of being introduced to attack-spam enemies via Bloodborne, without grounds for complaint because it's a new IP, things are gonna be different, whatever.jpg

PC folk have nothing but past Souls games to work off of. We ain't desensitized to these types of enemies.

That said, I'm not one of them, I like the enemies.
>>
>>138583727
That would be accurate if you raised all of that by 10 levels for each area. Using nothing but the souls you get from bosses and enemies and you will be pushing SL 100 by the time you reach Soul of Cinder. You can easily be 70 or 80 by the time you hit Dancer and in fact on my past two characters I had to stop investing souls into levels and buying shit just to stay at 80 for PvP by the time I had gotten to Dancer.

Souls games have been getting MUCH harder with each iteration. The only real exception is BB to DaS3.

Honestly this is more disappointing than 2. Atleast it tried new things and felt unique instead of a watered down Bloodborne with all the garbage it brought like spammy aggressive enemies and mindless spam combat.

Sorta, but in BB you have quicksteps instead of rolls and ranged parries. It made things a lot easier.

That said, I like how aggressive DaSIII enemies are. Makes parrying all the more worthwhile.

PC version is worse. Graphics are actually worse even, I've noticed loads of areas on PC are missing shadows compared to PS4 for some reason. The networking on PC is fucking god awful with disconnects, timeouts and ganks with no animations playing everywhere.

I know it's a different game and all that, but my first Souls game was DaS and I chose to play as thief. I thought, right out the gate, I'd focus on parrying and dodging. I'd use my master key to access areas you wouldn't normally be able to go to until later.

What a fucking terrible mistake that was. Oh my god, it basically ruined that game for me and it took me about a year of not playing it to cleanse my palette so I could go back and actually enjoy it.

The irony of this statement is that the best way to deal with most enemies, even big tough-looking fuckers like the knights, is to spam R1 like an idiot.

The PC version is not a disaster. Some 14 year olds with dual core CPUs and 1GB GPUs on Steam might have problems, but that's about it. Watch streams like Day9's that are on PC. I think he might get one freeze at one point, on a pre-release press copy. There's a guy called Keith Ballard playing on PC and so far I haven't seen any technical problems. For me it's 60fps and no crashes after about 12 hours.

Meanwhile, I played BB on a PS4 and it was about 17fps and had 60 second loading times. From are pretty bad at programming and it can affect any platform. The fact that the PS4 and Xbone versions have to be capped at 30 and sometimes drop below that speaks volumes about how bad they are at getting games to work. Remember DaS2 often being at 15-20fps on PS3?

It's the worst thing to ever happen to Souls. Just throw strategy, timing and skill out the window in favour of spamming a billion dodges to dodge the enemies spamming a billion attacks.
It takes everything Dark Souls 1 and 2 are about and throws it out the window to try and attract people who are enthused by flashy combat with no real depth.

I have a feeling this will be similar to 2. People will think they like the game until Mathewmatosis comes out with a critique video that shines light on the situation and reveals all of the games heavy, heavy flaws.

Bloodborne had the mobility to keep the combat flowing and regain for that very same purpose. Dark Sousl 3 has neither and as a result is a much slower and plodding game because the enemies determine the speed at which combat happens. It's far more boring and slow.

It's combat is inferior to both Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1 because it tried to reach a middle ground and failed fucking spectacularly.

I am a programmer and I'd just like to ask; how in the name of sweet monkey fucking christ do you fuck up so colossally bad in order to achieve this, From Soft.?

They do understand that they need to hire actual programmers with programming experience, right? If I hired a full workforce of fresh-out-of-college interns to help me make a game, never in a trillion years would we ship something like this.

It's one of those things where if you're really good at the game, the shortcomings aren't shortcomings anymore - but you could do at least as well with any other build as well. For us mere mortals it makes the game harder than it need be. You do get things like how the thief's shield has a large window for parrying and the dagger has a large sweet spot for backstabs, but it's less reliable for bad to average players than just a solid thing like the knight. Good players could use anything and be okay.

When you realise that the most common GPU on Steam has 1GB of RAM and the most common CPU is a dual core, you should also realise the average audience that are playing this. Only about 1 in 20 have something like a 970 (what I have) which will actually play it fine.

There's no denying there's something weird going on with the game, I'm not arguing about that. I've been fine but this is a company that could only get 19fps out of the PS4 with a non-open world game with basic AI and nothing else particularly intensive going on.

The idea that it WILL fuck up or it WILL crash, though, is total bullshit. I think it's safe to assume that almost everyone that has a really bad experience will leave a negative review on Steam. So there's around 2000 negative reviews now, right? That's out of at least 120,000 owners, so that's about 1% of people that are having all these problems. And again, back to how shit most peoples' PCs are going off the Steam survey - far, far below min spec for DS3. In other words, 99% of PC owners are fine - or maybe the problems are so bad that they died and couldn't leave a review.

WHY THE FUCK DO THEY KEEP ADDING MORE FALL DAMAGE EVERY TIME THEY CREATE A NEW GAME? WHAT THE FUCK FROM SOFT WA RE?

In Demon's Souls there was practically no gravity (this is why you couldn't jump because you would have floated to the moon) and so you fell like a feather and didn't take much damage at all even when falling huge distances
In Dark Souls it got worse, but it was still very bearable. You know, you could drop down decent distances without losing all your health.
In Dark Souls 2 it was terrible. Drops like the drop in the Ruin Sentinels fight would take a huge chunk of your health, but I guess it was okay since we had lifegems (I guess this is why they were added into the game cuz nobody could beat the game otherwise since you'd die from fall da mage)
I haven't played Bloodborne because that game is bad but I bet the fall damage increase again
Now, in Dark Souls 3, I DROP DOWN A FUCKING BALCONY FALL LIKE 6 FEET AND LOSE LIKE 20% OF MY HP We don't even have lifegems so this game just feels terrible to play. I don't know what would count as artificial difficulty more than this. You are forced to take the stairs instead of dropping down always becuase otherwise you won't have any hp left for the actual gameplay. Nice game

this is a flat out lie

I am playing a pure caster and do no fucking damage at all, its barely playable. In the time you get one cast out, even with cast speed rings, you have 6 mobs in your face attacking about 2 times a a second with almost 100% accurate tracking no matter where you roll. You cant snipe them either because everything after the starting zones is call of duty tunnels

This is true.

Sorcery soft-caps at 60 Int, Miracles soft-cap at 60 Faith, and pyromancies soft-cap whenever the sum of your Int + Faith is 60 (so probably 30/30 if you're a full pyro build).

Incidentally that means that pure sorcerers and pure "cleric" builds can do really well with pyromancy, too, though they'll miss out on some of the spell requirements.

It's notable that the magic school- and element-boosting rings are vital to magic damage this time, too. Even at 60 Int sorcery isn't amazing until you stack Magic Clutch Ring and sorcery-boosting rings on top of it. Then it does great damage.

Pyromancy is insane at 30/30 with three pyro-boosting rings.
>>
>>138588279
>>138588193

>>138588193
Yes.

From didn't want 40 DEX 40 INT katana + soul spear masters. If you want Master Teir magic damage, you need to go without melee on your build unless it's low requirements raw stuff or shit scalers that get infused.

To hit people with damaging lightning spears, you need to embrace pure faith.

Otherwise, you'll get middling spears as a supplemented range option to your build. You're not allowed to have a super stronk weapon and then super stronk ranged shit at the same time. You don't get to be a master of both.

Funny you say that, because my game is stuttering every 10 or so steps. Changing drivers, changing settings, toying with CPU priority, messing with pagefile, switching between HDDs, updating Windows, nothing solves it. I'm on the verge of formatting, even though I know that won't do anything. I'd rather have it crash than dip to low 40s all the fucking time.

As for measuring how many people are having issues, you should check the Steam forums.

Deprived is optimal for a few builds but not most. You can test with this calculator:

https://battlecalculator.com/dark-souls-3-class-selector/

The difference is going to be tiny though, so don't worry about it too much.
>>
>>138588543
how shit are you that the crappy, slow, two hittable enemies that have their attack animations interrupted by WALKING INTO THEM are giving you trouble

I mean shit the tree even kills them for you half the time
>>
>>138588671

deprived has never been an optimal build, it's just a way for people to do SL1 runs

if you wanted to go quality, Knight is your best bet because it has the lowest points in shit you won't need (like Attunement and Luck) and has more stats in total in comparison to deprived

but lets be honest, a few points is really not going to make a huge difference

t. haven't played the game for more than a day.

You can use weapons that not only passively recharge mana, but steal it back on hit and refill on critical via ring.

>outright defending the magic
I have the game on PS4 and finished it on NG+2, seems like a requirement to you...(?)
Anyways, Magic is and stays bottom tier garbage. You get swarmed WAY too fast to get spells out. Your scaling stops at around 70 for most spells, but guess what? the enemies keep getting stronger. Play a mage and start NG+ and look what your "actual mage build" spells do to enemies, if you are able to get spells out.
I switched to a pure melee build mid playthrough with a +10 broadsword at the end of NG+1, the old dress and flyns ring and i deal about 3 times as much damage in HALF the time as a spellcaster does.
Not to mention the spells are literally the same as in DS2.

Ah, okay. I haven't had that much time to play since I worked last night and I also work tonight. "Only" 6 hours. Feels weird saying that when you're a 31 year old man living by himself, 6 hours is a massive amount of time for me. It's nearly all the free time I've had since release.

Anyway, I'm the guy who created the Raging Fucktard, so you can guess I love strength builds. I rolled a warrior and I'm using Vordt's Greathammer right now, loving it. Still fatrolling though, looking forward to having a high enough equipload to at least midroll again. Had to go back to my axe and shield for the ice knight in the lower tower elevator. Strength builds seem to be viable enough, but couldn't give you a good opinion on magic builds. I never really liked magic in Dark Souls however.

When you go across that bridge you just take the path around the house to the right. There'll be a bunch of Thralll (little stabby hooded prisoner guys). Climb the ladder up to the roof, go over it and look down for the jump off spot on the other side. Cage guy will be there. Walk up to him and interact with his cage. That takes you to the mound builder covenant room.

Lightning Spears are melee-range. He was testing them at range. If you hit with them point-blank, they do a LOT more damage. Miracles are full-on melee magic now.

Not saying that's a good choice, mind you, but it's why the numbers are as low as they are on the spreadsheet.

Sunlight Spear with 50+ Faith and the three rings can easily one-shot someone in PvP if you can hit with it point-blank. (That's a big if, of course.)

Also turn off system-wide graphics things, put everything on the "application decides" setting. We actually have similar systems apart from OS.

People say "oh PC configs are crazy, so many different combos" but there's usually an identifiable, single problem with this kind of thing. For example The Division kept going washed out bright, then ridiculously dark. It was because it doesn't like dual monitors so I turned that off and it's fine.

>>138588870
Actually, Knight has wasted points in VIT that you don't actually need because armour is useless.

The 15 in VIT is more a waste than the luck on some of the other builds.

Really, Pyro is the best start class because though it starts with 13 int and fai, it starts with no luck and no vit, and that 13 int and fai gets you immediate access to flame weapon and carthus beacon. You can level further to 20/20 for a decent amount of side pyro damage on your main stat.

I made 2 knight builds on JP before I figured out I was memed. 7 VIT is all you need.

The weaponart damage doesn't scale with faith. It scales with upgrade level and all the stats associated to the weapon to a minor degree but it's primarily upgrade level. Someone at base stats will only be doing slightly less with a WA than someone who has 60 faith.

Which is another point of contention with miracles being how they are when a WA like that does more damage than they do without being close to the reqs.

I think it's really indicative that when asked how to play a pure mage people tell them to get a raw weapon and hit enemies with it rather than telling them the secret to making magic effective.

The secret to playing a pure mage as it turns out is to stop casting shit and stab enemies with raw infused weapons.

It'd be possible to do either 40 Str or Dex, some of the other stat for weapon reqs, and 25/25 Int/Faith, but you're going to have to sacrifice a lot in Vigor, Endurance, and Vitality to get there. If you're okay being somewhat of a glass cannon, it can be done.

And if you only want it for PvE, you can definitely do it, because Vigor isn't nearly as important as it is for PvP.

Spellsword builds effective at all? I want to make use of faith scaling weapon buffs like DMB/LB and offensive pyromancies/flame weapon, but it seems spreading stats into int/fai/a melee stat like dex/end/vig isn't going to be so effective.

No, it's to realize you need to use both a weapon and magic sometimes. The sorceror starts with a mailbreaker for a reason.

Quality flamberge carried me through NG jap to about Nameless King / Lothric castle, where I switched to artorias GS.
It's really great, lots of sweet hyper armor and nice horizontal swings, very good for pvp unless they whip out a parry shield, since it's not too hard to parry it.

This

>Scaling with heavy?

B+ I think. I'm not entirely certain but I think they make better quality weapons. They have no range and literally 0 tracking bar the spin, but they are relatively fast (except for the spin which is predictable and will get you parried if you don't wait for them to do something first)
>>
>>138590926

Those are the ones, yeah. Simple iron axes.

They're quality weapons. I think they get C/C scaling at +10.

Use the ladder to get to the Farron Wolf Bonfire but just look around on the wall. You'll spot a general direction to go. Its not that bad.
