/dsg/ - Soulsborne general

PvP in this game is basically who has the most estus left.

What's the best spell to punish flasking (with minimal spell investment)??

>>138679958
LITERALLY EVERY SOULS GAME

USE FUCKING LOYD'S TALISMANS/UNDEAD TALISMANDS/WHATEVER YOU FUCKING FAGGOT RETARDS

HOW

THE

FUCK

ARE PEOPLE THIS BAD AT PVP

Quality of environments and level design took a nosedive after Farron Keep. Catacombs and Smouldering Lake are literally chalice dungeons but less detailed.

Please tell me it gets better again

Is Force even good to use?

>>138679958
Nah.

It's Get Gud and learn to play well. If you actually let someone run off and heal without at least knocking them back down for 2 hits, you fucked up.

Healing against me is essentially just asking for constant free combos against you. They end up in a loop of constantly back rolling twice to estus, eating 2 hits and then repeating it till they have none left.

Then of course they alt+f4, because PC is brilliant.

pvp could have been salvage if not for instant estus and phantoms being able to estus
should have gone back to the DaS1 way where the host needs to heal his phantoms

gank simulator is shit
i'm done with this game

>>138680149
Good. At least the catacombs boss was cool, though gimmicky as hell

I haven't gotten invaded once on PC.

Is this the power of the master race?

>>138680236
DaS2 way was the best - no one could heal without spells except the host when an invader arrives.

Dark Souls 1 is garbage and the most gank friendly game

>>138680314
you need to have a summon with you if you want to be invaded

>>138680236
If phantoms couldn't estus, you'd die even faster, m9

The faster combat with no passive poise means you need some backup.

Maybe get good and don't walk into attack 2 people at once and think it'll end well.

I literally burned through 60 ganks to max out two covenants. Acquire skills.

So how exactly am I supposed to deal with Pontiff Sulyvahn when he clones himself? I can deal with the first phase just fine seeing as he took lessons from Gwyn but any attack in the second phase means opening yourself to an attack.

It's fucking pathetic.
Make the number of invaders proportionate to the number pf phantoms host has summoned or else PvP is just a fucking sad casualfest.

>>138680557
Do you understand that there people who participate in those "gank squads" ITT? You can't prove anything to them. Invasions are fine for gank squads.

>>138680852
Yes and no. Some people don't have any idea how to make a webm or a video or anything like that, so them just taking pictures and posting them here or writing their sliders down is easier to do and more people would be able to do it.
I'd rather have videos or pictures, but oh well. The dragon's dogma character sliders works very well, so I guess this one will work well, too.

>>138681132
More like he didn't think to because we can't fucking trust invader spawn locations. You could be at the bonfire, we might just spawn on the other side of the map and take 3 minutes to reach you. Smouldering Lake does it the worst, because it can spawn you all the way with the basilisks while you're at the boss fog

You don't mash R1 when someone in close distance? Why?

so is the great scythe shit in DS3? It does pretty terrible damage even when i hit with the sweet spot. Also the weapon feels like trash to use.

>>138681337
Did it at SL 57. Just dodge, watch his clone so that you know what the real Pontiff is going to do, while dodging the clone as well (got like a second between the clone's attack and Pontiff's attack, even longer on his dive) then punish. You can punish Pontiff really easily when he does either dive. Kill the clone and fight him 1v1, then smack him a ton when he goes to resummon it. You can kill the clone and do a ton of damage to Pontiff at the same time if your weapon has a good arc and you keep hitting him during the animation.

I just got to Irithyll and was going to level up. But I found I haven't been seeing anyone else anymore.

Just want to make sure I'm not over or under leveled.

Correction, despite it being called "Cleric's CandleStick", it actually is a sorcery catalyst. Which only makes me pissier that something with Cleric in the name is casting sorcery

I am getting really annoyed with trying to co-op areas and all my hosts just want to gank mound men. Is this the standard procedure already? If you're summoning a white, you might as well summon a purp?

Alright, so I joined Rosaria's Fingers and defeated the Curse-Rotted Greatwood before getting the Mound-Makers covenant.

Am I just screwed until NG+, or is there a way to dupe the AI into letting me in?

I haven't spoken to Sirris yet, but she did disappear from firelink.

Why was Karla dead when I found her

does it have a timer?

No, but it makes it a lot easier since it means you only need to dodge one enemy rather than two with a second between attacks. Helps that the clone has basically nothing going for him in terms of HP. When both do the explosive dive it means you're spacing a lot more to get away. Better to only deal with the one dive, one onslaught and one glide than all of that but with a follow-up.

You can kill the clone before the animation finishes where the clone slides away from Pontiff and takes a stance with its sword. If you don't do it before it finishes spawning, you can still kill it before its sword is raised in the stance. Otherwise you just bait out their attacks and then finish the clone.

He'll constantly resummon it during the fight if you keep killing it, but it means you get a huge window to attack him each time, and kill off the clone when it shows up

If you want a 1v1 then fucking put a red sign down. It's that fucking simple. You are bothering people who are just trying to get through the game so they will do literally everything in their power to win. Tough fucking shit. They aren't obligated to follow your arbitrary set of rules.

If you want a fair fight then put down a sign. If you don't want a fair fight and want to just invade some lone host who doesn't know what the fuck he is doing so you can brag to your internet friends about how hard you shat on him then you can eat shit. This isn't the game for you.

he tells you as much, they repair automatically by resting at a bonfire, but if they break then he has to fix them

Yuria doesnt even spawn if you dont interact with that pilgrim cuck. She's the "true" sorceries merchant

he simply dies and you cant buy sorceries anymore if you dont

you can heal hollowing later

I got it the first time I killed one of those fuckers.

Jokes on you though, it fucking sucks.

>>138683296

How in the fuck could from software think it was a good idea to be teleported straight to Dancer of the Boreal Valley after defeating the third lord of cinder?

I had just cleared 2 areas and then killed Yorm , I lost 100k souls because of that. Thank you FROM.

Loving the co-op here too dude. Probably because I'm enjoying the bosses this time around a lot more than previous games.

Very rewarding to see a host learn the fight and all that as you help them.

Yo where the fuck is Havels and Ornsteins set

>>138683196
If goes down to 20, capping at 30 won't lock it there, it'll just go 20-30 now. When people talk about locking fps, they mean it goes at 35-45 (for example) so they'll lock it at 30 for consistency. You'd have to cap at 20 for it to be consistent.

Just try turning down texture quality (especially if you only have a 1 or 2 GB GPU), turning off SSAO, turning off AA maybe.

welcome to /vg/

DaS3 just released which means /v/ invasion and a ton of new people in the threads.

Hey guys, what level should my Endurance be before I start moving onto STR/VIT

Also what's a really good STR weapon that can be picked up early on?

>>138683413

>thinking stages don't reset

What the fuck? Who designed this shit? What abotu Pontiff's knights scythe? It's good? Or can't be dropped?

>>138683370
Dude how the fuck did they decide to restart abyss watcher when you die to phase 2. Like for real the figt starts again with the retards fighting each other

co-op is fun

fuck

>>138683370

i'm not sure why you're telling me this, anon.
i realize you put it in spoiler tags but i thought you were memeing.

>>138682312
you're thinking of Cervix

Irithyll is the worst area so far
It looks like anal rodeo but plays like every bad thing in DS2
The enemies are such shit, their attacks hit faster than the players, they're mostly invisible because lol why not, enemies that can't kill you in 2 shots can jump on your head and deal high as fuck damage, other enemies are maybe not all that strong but always come in numbers of 5+
And that's just the town itself
The dungeon is equally bullshit
Hey let's magically lower the player's health to 5% over a long range just to either 1 hit kill him or at least waste estus on every single encounter
these fucking areas are giving me cancer

What happens if I give the fire keeper soul to firekeeper?

I fucked up and Yorel is dead already, so that whole plotline is gone.

So I fucked up like a huge retard and killed the Greatwood. How do I join the mound-makers after I've killed it? I didn't join Rosaria's Fingers.

>>138683016
Considering that getting into melee range and spamming r1 is how you deal with a lot of enemies and you have hyper armor when attacking with most weapons, it's not a bad strategy. more stam means you can keep swinging longer

I dont get the farron legion boss fight. What were they going for there?

>>138683413
easier to parry than sword wielding fucks in the tutorial area. You can also backstab + R2 him everytime.

Can invaders not activate elevators by standing on the button?

Well if you died to nashandra or aldia you didnt have to restart the fight, because they were stages seperated by a cutscene
