I visited Fromsoft a couple days ago in Sasazuka (currently in Tokyo for a manufacturing workshop) and asked them what Poise did in the game directly. Basically said I aint leaving till I get an answer, they have no way to stop me from hanging around because they have no active guards.

They said that poise does 3 things and they intentionally left it out of descriptions because they wanted people to figure it out themselves:
1)
>the more poise you have, the less your thrust absorption drops during an action
2)
>the more poise you have, the more or heavier hit/s you can tank during a weapon art without being stunned out of it
3)
>Poise priority when trading with an opponent who also has hyper armour and or great weapon, aka 2 UGS swinging at each other, the one with the higher poise will not stagger while the other will and be awarded the combo

You can shut up about it now

One thing I am certain Poise does is that is affects your ability to take a hit at the end of a roll. So if you get hit as your you're getting back on your feet, instead of getting staggered, you take a hit and minor damage but you maintain your motion I'm not sure if that is all its does but i have noticed this more when i wear good armor

>they retconned the idea and just made poise "activate" as soon as you had any, the current numbers are just flavour text literally

The total max poise you can possibly get in the game with the biggest armour and 2 yhorms shields is 80 something poise, currently.

If the decimal was moved over, it would be .8. Just shy of the full 1 "always have poise" total.

It would seem to me poise originally was going to be very wide and flexible, but you could NEVER get max passive poise, just very close to it with the most extreme setup.

Now it's basically useless by design. They probably found that washingpoles and estocs would just sit behind yhorms shield in testing for even MORE assrape than they currently dish out so they decided against poise at the last second.

From what I understand:
>during iframes
This is what led to that retarded "poise damage affects the amount of iframes you have" theory. It's not clear why it turns on during iframes, but it's not that. The only reasonable idea is that they wanted you to be able to take poise damage during rolling, even if you can't be poise broken during it.

>during hyper armor
You can take poise damage during hyper armor, but it doesn't actually get you staggered out of it. It could also be related to it checking your poise during Halberd and Greatsword attacks, even though 0.1 poise is all you need for that to work.

>certain frames of Stance weapon arts, including charging Storm Ruler
This seems to be pretty much the only circumstance where your poise can actually get you poise broken.

It's a pretty stupid system, but it does seem to actually be how they want it.

Yes, Bloodborne is a Souls game. Your point?

>>144916509
BB general was created because console fanboys and PC autists kept shitposting in /dsg/ before it was released. There was never a logical reason to separate the generals.

For now, it still has it's own general, but people are obviously going to discuss it here since it's a Souls game. Eventually, /bbg/ will die out and this will be the only place to discuss it, just like Demon's Souls and King's Field.

God, that felt fucking amazing. Made the whole night of getting crushed worth it, a great learning experience. I'm still gonna have to think of new strategies to beat ganks at this level though considering parrying is for the most part impossible.

Actually, the Alpha was better than the Souls games have been in a long time. Beating the first boss for the first time game me that feeling of accomplishment that I haven't gotten from a Souls boss since DaS1. The combat is more engaging as well. It's like they took all the best parts of souls games then slapped a better combat system on top of it.

There are so many aspects of it that are just fundamentally contributing nothing but tedium or annoyances, and very little to the gameplay itself.

Stop sucking. It gave you a certain number on every respawn. If you needed more than that then you should have to farm them.

You couldn't just face tank shit like you can in DaS2 because of your million estus and life gems.

>Durability
The idea is that they want you to keep switching weapons. Plus the better weapons have better durability. By the end of stage 2 I was leaving repair powders behind because I couldn't even carry anymore.

Better than DaS3's system where breaking your armor is basically impossible.

>A combat system that encourages you to frequently switch between weapons and stances paired with a level up system that rewards you for putting a lot of stats in a single stance for a single weapon class
I focused on katana and just kept switching between various katana when one would break, rather than switching weapon types. It's not different than making a build in the Souls series. If you make stupid choices then you pay for it.

etc.

>The idea is that they want you to keep switching weapons.

And that's a shit idea for twats.
They made it so weapons within the same weapon class always have the same movesets, and then give you randomly generated bullshit for your weapon selection.

You don't get anything out of switching weapons other than having to keep asking yourself "what is the least shit weapon I have right now?" It is not a meaningful choice, it is just comparing arrows.

>Better than DaS3's system where breaking your armor is basically impossible.

It's not, for the exact same reasons. Having to switch between weapons and armor isn't fun and engaging gameplay, it's a chore. It does not provide anything positive to the gameplay.

>I focused on katana and just kept switching between various katana when one would break

That still doesn't address the brilliant design plan of "We'll implement a multi-stance system the players can freely switch between and then reward them for putting all their points in one stance".

Sure, it would be fine to make it so different weapon classes had different upgrades for character building, but when stance changing is one of the main points of the combat system, dividing the upgrade system into supporting specific stances was retarded.

It gave you 3. If you farmed, you could have more.

It was like a cross between DaS1 and BB's systems. It worked well, and the Souls games would benefit from it.

The later weapons have various effects and elements so mixing and matching, especially to enemy weakness becomes fun.

Having to switch/repair constantly is engaging. Durability on armor in DaS3, for example, may as well not even exist as a concept because it's never going to break.

You only get rewards for putting points into one stance very early on. It's no different than putting points into one stat early on in the Souls games.

The method was a bit tedious, but the concept is engaging. There are better ways of Doing it. I think Borderlands is a good example of doing it right. You can tap the button to pick something up into your inventory, or hold the button down to replace your currently equipped weapon.

That keeps you engaged without slowing shit down.

Repairing shit can be engaging too. I think MonHon does it well.

>mixing and matching, especially to enemy weakness becomes fun.
>Having to switch/repair constantly is engaging.

We're at a fundamental point of contention here. I think that's some of the dumbest shit you could do in game design. You're never making choices of personal preference, it's always a matter of straight up "this guy is weak to lightning, what is my best lighting katana" or "My armor with 23 defense broke, better put on my armor with 22 defense". It doesn't affect how you'll be playing the game, it's only a difference of numbers. That's not engaging or thoughtful decision making, that's micromanagement.

>Durability on armor in DaS3, for example, may as well not even exist as a concept because it's never going to break.

And that's fine because durability on armor is a shit idea for twats. There is no point to it, and the less relevant it is the better.

if you disagree then there's no point in continuing this conversation. It's a matter of different tastes at that point.

>You only get rewards for putting points into one stance very early on.

There were more than enough upgrades you could apply to a single stance to only upgrade the same stance throughout the whole demo.

Am i shit at playing a caster, or is casting shit in das3?

It seems like if i want to play with magic i have to commit my build to it completely. If i try to balance casting with dex or strength, i seem to always end up worse off than if i had just chosen one of the two.

Is there a babby's first sorc/cleric/pyro guide that you could recommend to me dsg?

Also, if I'm playing a caster, should i use elemental infusions, weapons with built in elemental damage, or non elemental weapons?

Oh, and what's the best starting class if i want to be able to respecc into any other kind of build later in the game? Thanks.

Yes, and in borderlands(2/PS) it was "use the best shit until you got something that was better due to flavor text" I'd remember killing terramorphous 20 times and never picking up anything than the eridium due to the amount of junk there was. Sure, it was "engaging" to a certain point but after a while you'd find 1-2 guns that'd roflstomp anything and only swap between those two unless you ran out of ammo for both.
I can't say anything on MonHun cause i've never played it though.
>>
>>144922924
You generally have 3 options with INT.

1) Full-on 60 INT pure caster. Probably the hardest one the be successful with at not dieing, though with by far the best burst.

2) MLGS with less focus in attunement but more in raw melee with some spells in the backhand to help in emergencies. Generally pretty damn easy to steer.

3) Crystal Sage's Rapier and DEX. The DEX will allow you to cast much, much faster without using the Sage's Ring and while also slightly increasing your Rapier's damage. The weapon itself has all the weaknesses and strengths of other rapiers, but with added magic scaling. Easily my least favourite option of the three and I always see it as a bit of a middle path, having a proper melee weapon while still casting a lot.

Of course, mixing and matching them is also a viable thing to try out. Many caster use the MLGS but go 60 INT.

I liked Borderlands because there often were meaningful choices between weapons.

>I really like my Sniper Rifle
>New Sniper Rifle dropped
>Wow, this has much better damage
>But worse fire rate
>Or only holds two bullets
>Or it doesn't have a scope
>Or the bullets have slower travel speed
>etc.

IE, changes that actually changed how your weapon functioned and influenced you played.

Nioh's system is lacking because it's just going to be a matter of addition or subtraction telling you what weapon will do the most damage. You don't have to decide between weapons, the best one will be self-evident.

>>144923164
>I'd remember killing terramorphous 20 times
I said Borderlands 1. BL2 was garbage.

As for Durability in Nioh, it wasn't really accurate. They didn't really break, they just got dull, as a wetstone would indicate. They still did decent damage, just not maximum damage.

Weapons in MonHon work similarly from what I have noticed. The less sharp they are, the less damage they do, and the more easily the recoil from strikes.

I much prefer that to the Souls system where a broken weapon is basically worthless.

>>144923615
That's true with the shitty weapons. The weapons with higher rarities had various attributes that went along with them, assuming you had the stat points for them to apply, sort of like needing to meet the faith reqs of an item to use it's special ability in a Souls game.

>>144923783

Black Blade vs Chaos Blade

Which is better?
What is the point of the Black Blade if Chaos Blade is better?
>>
>>144924292
BL1 was the same thing though. Kill boss multiple times to get weapons of varying damage and hope for better ones. Once you've got 1-2 weapons with a decent roll you're set.

I'd actually favor it if the weapons got dull actually, it makes a bit more sense. It'd go sharp>dull>broken if we followed basic game logic instead of "this weapon is completely fine, whoops there goes one durability, it's completely broken." At least through regular use.

What I mean with dueling is: in pontiff duels no matter the level, you can win with anything if you're good enough. I crush people all the time with the long spear or even drang hammers and other non-meta weapons.

Try doing that shit against a mage, a pyro, a guy with a BKG and another guy with an Astora GS coming at you, swapping to some katana shit when it strikes their fancy. Try beating that shit 1v3 or 1v4, it's fucking impossible.

If no one could heal during an invasion it would solve a lot at least. I'm just pissed because 3 times in a row tonight I got the host down to a sliver of health with my drangs and then he just rolled the fuck away and healed back to full while his buttbuddies tooled on me. Very frustrating, I honestly don't know what FROM was thinking or what drugs they were taking at the time they made the rules for invasions.

No, I want 2v2's or 3v3's or 4v4's even. I want invasions to be the team-based PvP of the game compared to red soapstone duels being the 1v1 PvP of the game.

Instead it's 3v1 or 4v1 (or worse with blueberries or purples that side with the host), or more if you consider the ability to re-summon phantoms who died, on top of the health and healing difference. The only real way you have to win is do it at low levels and pray you face people who don't know what they're doing so you can parry hornet riposte them. Or use some gigantic strength weapon and hope they're dumb enough to run right into it. It's just sad because it could actually be a balanced multi-person PvP experience but instead it's just heavily put in favor of the host. So heavily that it's pretty much impossible to win if the host is there specifically to gank and actually knows what he's doing.

It's like a duel but where you have less health and are heavily outnumbered by people who can heal. So in short: it's pretty fucking lame in my experience trying it out for the first time for several hours today.

I was talking about the mechanics invasions, and DeS and DaS1
in DeS the invaders had too many advantages, in DaS1 it was perfect the way it was: two summons and estus that could heal the summons for the host, environment for the invader

DaS2 and 3 fucked that balance up

>there are still people voting for anything higher than sl80

why? all it does is homogenize everything with quality+buffs

damage is high enough in this game, and you can easily hit 1.6k HP at sl80, and sl80 allows for more build restrictions so that refined+buffed fast/hyperarmor weapons don't reign king


actually, fuck it, this game has like 5k players left on PC, and after 350 hours i can't even stand how trash this pvp is outside of 60-80

>do less damage
but this would be a good thing

hitting 500 ar on refined swords and 600-700+ on everything else is cool, but sl120 pvp amounts to backstab/parry baiting with no punishment play because of fist weapons or just 2 shotting each other with WAs or hyperarmor combos

I have 2 sl120s, an sl50, and an sl75, and I by far have the most fun on the 50.
I use knights ring, prisoners, chloranthy +2, and life ring +3, and build diversity is everywhere while it takes 7+ hits to kill anyone, including myself, unless I run into some sub 20 vigor idiot and I'm using hornet

meanwhile, I hop on my sl120 since she has more access to fully upgraded weapons (she was my first character), and I try to pvp with them but it's just the same dozen weapons in the same predictable playstyles that get beaten in 20 seconds
>>
>>144927204
Phantoms are good for bosses where a meatshield is welcome. Elana isn't one of them.
>>
What vigor/endurance should I aim for at SL120 to not get as destroyed by memes/meta/bullshit?

Idea for how they can have poise and be balanced

Link poise to rolling

More poise you have the worse your roll

So a high poise tank can only ever fat roll

I tried the mlgs recently. I used the dancer exploit to get it early, but i found the moveset really irritating. The 2hr1 was a bit awkward in my opinion. I'll have a look at the crystal rapier, i always assumed it was trash because of the item discovery bonus, that it was only useful for that. Are all rapiers as bullshit as the estoc?

Anything for clerics and pyros? Is it viable for a pyro to use dark miracles and dark sorceries? The izalith staff has an A int scaling and a C fth scaling, whereas the two dark miracle catalysts have either a B/B or A/A scaling iirc. So I'd think dark miracles would compliment pyromancy better.

I've heard that the witch's locks are the only fire scaling weapon that's worth using, but is there anything infuseable that's viable as chaos/dark? I've been looking at the lothric spear because the running r1 seems useful for pvp, it's a lite version of the charge skill. It would be a really easy way to punish chugging when I'm invading.

Are there any other weapons with that move? There's always the charge skill, but i like the way this flows naturally from running.

Also, everyone says armor doesn't matter as long as you wear something. Is this implying that armor stats are actually irrelevant, or that rolling well makes armor irrelevant? I started minmaxing my armor, and while i haven't done any testing it seems to make a difference.

Depth in multiplayer games without some sort of end-game, rating or ranking system, or official competition is wasted development time. PvP in Dark Souls is a casual thing, unlike PvP in LoL, Overwatch, or WoW. It's just a free bonus to the core of the game: the singleplayer experience.

The individuals in DaS1 that discovered how to exploit latency so masterfully only did so in order to artificially raise the skill ceiling, creating an illusion of depth.

If you took away latency in DaS1 PvP, most of that false depth is lost immediately.

He was either foolish, brave, charitable, or desperate.

What covenant would Eileen be part of? Since she's the whole 'Hunter of Hunters' I was thinking Darkmoon Blade since I would be invading hostile phantoms threatening ones that aren't necessarily mad.

Additionally, at some point it's possible for her to attack you in BB, but does anyone remember where? I'm thinking of a location that looks physically similar to invade in.

>>144928778
I think in the previous thread someone posted a video of a guy explaining that armor durability is so pointless that it is actually impossible to break without cheating. He had the weak ass hollows from outside Firelink wail on him for like five minutes and only lost 40 out of 300 points. Acid Surge managed to knock out 70.

When they said they wanted to find a middle ground between DS1 and 2 for durability, I didn't think it would be DS1 durability with DS2 repair methods.

CSR is not as strong as estoc but it's very good with sick range.

Dark spells suck in general, takes a lot if effort and they usually won't be as good as counterparts. Soulmass is miles better than affinity and chaos fireball or vestiges much better than black fireball.

Pyros got witch locks, gargoyle weapons(not so good but very fun) and any good weapon infused with chaos for PvE and dark for PvP.
Clerics got the short end of the stick, but they still have all dragonslayer weapons and LKGS. They can also refine/raw a strong weapon and give it lightning/darkmoon.

You got a few other options to punish chugs like katanas, but I think lothric and maybe pike are unique.

Armor "doesn't matter" because the vit needed for a significant effect like in the past games gimps your build far too much to be worth it.

That bridge yeah, though I don't know if placing the sign by that bonfire will put invaders out far into the level, since being summoned by the 1st bonfire puts you by the second bonfire the furthest possible distance away from host. But for now let's test it out.
PS4 FC at Irthiyll Bridge.
Host is 120 but all levels welcomed.
Pass will be dsgfc
Place signs by Central Irthiyll bonfire aka the second bonfire. Go onto Bridge to fight.
I'll also try putting on WoB since before it messed with FCs to the point of not being invaded at all. If anything comes up like change of sign placement or whatever, I'll state it here.

"Pickle-Pee" and "Pump-a-Rum" are references to an old poem about a king's orchestra, specifically, … "Pickle-pee," said the fife, "Pump-a-rum," said the drum… So, perhaps instead of the items being "rough and bumpy," perhaps the key is to trade items which allude to instruments in either appearance or the sound they make. For example, all of the chimes, being bells, grant rewards. Loretta's Bone has holes in it, a lot like the fife, which is a lot like a flute. Firebombs go boom, as drums sometimes do. The Avelyn simply states it just like an instrument, and it nets you something.

Using the collector's edition, how would I go about spawning myself enough soul items to get to 99 in every stat, while still being able to play online? At 2 billion souls, I estimated that it would take just over 900 hours to reach max level legitimately, this is assuming I could average 2.5 million souls per hour of gameplay.

It isn't exactly feasible.

If it can only be done offline that's fine too, as long as I can play online with a different character.

Thanks. It's a shame dark stuff sucks, it's all pretty cool looking.

Do the witch locks have a problem with heavy armor? I remember reading that whips were best against bare skin.

Katanas are great, but I've used them too much in souls games. I'll probably get two lithric spears and infuse one with chaos and the other dark.

Oh, weird. Why not just tie equip load to endurance like in das1? It's a pointless stat if the majority of players ignore it and put points elsewhere. It doesn't even give you hp like in das2.

I've been meaning to make an excel spreadsheet with the absorptions of every armor piece in the game, so i can see what the most common weaknesses are. Strike resistance seems very rare compared to everything else.

Are there any dex strike weapons?

Oh. I understand that.

I'm currently SL198 and I can get about 10 levels in just over 2 hours using the current method.

At NG7+, I estimated that the Golden Winged Knights should drop about 104k souls per kill using the maximum soul gear. The issue is that at that difficulty level, even being SL250+ doesn't do much against their incredible damage, and as such, NG+3 is the most consistent.

Theoretically speaking, if I could be inviniclbe and kill knights with one shot at NG+7, it would still take over 500 hours to hit max.

Obviously, I would need to constantly spawn in the 50k Soul item and sell it reptedly for 5m souls per inventory. Doing that, it should take less than 50 hours to hit 802.

Locks aren't so bad because you'll mostly WA with them. The WA has mostly fire damage so it still has decent damage. Against good armor, switch to dark.
Endurance in 1 is the best stat in the whole game, in fact, leveling it and vit with only base reqs is a viable and actually strong build. So they had to balance it. They went overboard because now armor has no almost porpuse other than looks.

Think some spears have strike, but it's not as good as in 2. Thrust is better which dex has plenty of.

It has a faith requirement actually, but it doesn't scale with it or have the magic damage anymore. Crescent Axe isn't even a faith weapon or even an axe anymore either, just a really shit halberd with no magic damage and a counterproductive weapon art for buffs that a dirty faith build might use.
Oh and of course theres the two new faith spears that both suck so much its actually impressive, as well as the amazing blessed infusion for all that faith scaling that doesn't matter because it utterly destroys the weapons AR.

After all, why should faith have a single way to be useful before 50%+ of the game is over? You should have to suffer for playing faith, and then even when the stat starts to do something, you should still be shit.

Praise lord Memeazaki.

Something I've noticed since that last maintenance
100% of invasions I lose (eg. I spawn in and die to the host/phantoms) have a blue spawn in a few seconds after I die. It's always the same timing, just long enough for my body to start fading away, but long enough that they spawn in fully before I'm off to the loading screen.

On successful invasions, I rarely encounter a blue, even the rolling ganksquads where you kite through enemies for 10+ minutes.

But there has not been a single instance since that maintenance where a blue hasn't spawned when I lose. It's obviously pointless for them, because they don't get an ear if they spawn in after the invader is dead, so it's interesting that it's happening so much.

Unless they changed that in a patch, I know for sure they dropped it at one point.
I thought it made sense because most if not all covenent items drop from mobs in the same area where the covenent is located, one exception being Rosaria Fingers and tongues dropping from Darkwraiths, though Rosaria Fingers are basically Darkwraiths.

+8 is good, I suggest it since +4/+8 get many people, if you don't mind the eventual disadvantage.

You'll get NG+ people and end game ones. Best areas being high wall, castle, archives, post pontiff and peak.
Be sure to test out the spears damage beforehand, buffing a raw one with flame arc may be better but too expensive FP wise, dark will outdamage chaos unless it's a FTH user. Also practice with locks, they're hard to get used to.

Fun fact, The same team that made DaS1 is the same team that made DaS2. Only difference was producer and director.

DaS2 set out to make a good game with gameplay as primary focus and levels secondary. In fact they had a whole lot planned that they had to can because of consoles holding them back and Namco rushing them to finish. So they had to scrap a lot of ideas just to shit out a game to please the board of directors. At least gameplay came out alright. Best gameplay in all soulsborne titles imho.

DaS1 was good, my favorite, but DaS3 is so shit compared to both 1 and 2. Especially 2.

2 was about fun and prioritized the community.

Miyazaki is all about call backs and references because he's upset namco wanted sequels to DaSS

Micolash was also a far more interesting concept and executed far better

Oceiros is a sandbag in phase 1 whose only notable attack is a DoT field that he stands on to make you stop attacking him for 4 seconds. In phase 2, his only notable attack is a charge that hits instantly without a telegraph in a largel hitbox that extends all around, underneat and behind him to create a giant moving invisible shockwave. Even then, the most notable thing about that phase isn't the charge as an attack, but rather the fact that most of the fight is spent chasing the boss back and forth since he almost always charges at point blank and covers the whole arena with it. The boss is literal trash in every conceivable way. It's the kind of trash you'd find in Demon Ruins or Izalith, or one of those garbage midbosses from DaS2 that were obviously just tossed in because they had the assets half done anyways.

Micolash's fight isn't much to battle, but it doesn't set out to be. It has a very unique concept and executes it spectacularly, while also having great dialogue, atmosphere and so on. There's no comparison between the 2.
>>
>>144936727
>shitty late patch to fix soul memory takes up a ring slot and doesn't remove the shitty system altogether
It's different than weapon memory because weapon memory is straightforward and possible to control

If I want 99 arrows without exceeding a certain SM the agape ring won't help because it steals the souls enemies drop, etc.

If I want to grind for souls for items without leaving a certain bracket I literally NEVER have to.

It's not a meme if people try to make it one. Unless this is one of those situations where people make it one. It's a delicate line.

Personally for me it falls into this weird middle ground. I've had fun with it, certainly, but compared to the other games, DeS and BB included, it hits a lot of "ehs" and "mehs" for me. I don't know why, but I just don't have too many strong opinions on it.

They had a good idea but twinks outnumbered the non-twink players.

They implemented an idea they thought would help the twinking problem, but turned out that the majority of players enjoyed twinking. And to be successful business you have to cater to the majority hence why they implemented Agape.

From didn't expect so many people to be so upset form not able to invade new SM30k players in FOTFG. I'm glad they implemented late, because people that wanted to play the game without twinks got to play without having some asshole with no time on their hand (and possibly a virgin) use end game gear and one shot them.

Why are the Abyss Watchers, despite being Shadow the Hedgehog and Coldsteel tier, so awesome?
>>
>>144937000
I gotta agree here, even if I fucking loved Micolash. The Archives Sage was a better executed version of it, and that wasn't a boss fight.
>>
>>144937041
>They made the game casual as hell to appeal to the lowest common denominator. The gameplay is crap
Oh, are we talking about Dark Souls 3?
How can you take a game and make it 1:1 to DaS1 and still have worse gameplay?
>>
>>144937004
Sure, just let me think about which one I want first tho.
>>
>>144937172
Because contrary to what people might tort here, edge isn't inherently bad
>>
>>144937172
they're truthfully one of the least edgy "dark" characters in any RPG

what are you on about?
>>
The only thing that I miss about DS2 gameplay is the ambidextrous character, and that's really about it. Everything else can suck dick.
>>
>>144936751
He's my main character, at sl. 120. Im on NG+ and at the end game.
You should summon me, where you at?

>>144937000
The bossfight is chasing an NPC through a foggy maze of narrow bookshelf corridors with infinitely respawning adds while he taunts you with plot-relevant dialogue. The goal is to corner this NPC in a room which becomes an arena and he fights back. First phase he has one attack and 2 respawning adds, 2nd he has a weak melee moveset and a powerful AoE, and the maze puzzle changes between both phases.

It's an excellent design

Does anyone know how the Unfaltering Prayer works?

Does it scale with Faith? Weapon Level? Your character's chest hair? Seems to me like it does jack shit

God tier music, ambience, the fact that you fight in a pile of other watchers, gank bo-OH WAIT we get help from a corrupted watcher.

Only downside is that the boss is treated like a player, other than that, easily one of the most fun and awesome fights in the game
>>
>>144937704
It doesn't scale with anything

Unfaltering prayer changes depending on the talisman

Sunlight Talisman has a near unbreakable unfaltering prayer, canvas talisman has a mediocre one that can poise through most standard attacks

Saint's Talisman's unfaltering prayer couldn't poise through a wet cock
>>
In which ending does the Fire Keeper lives
>>
>>144937715
I'm being serious.
If anything, people bitch and moan that it was made hard for the sake of being hard in some parts.
The fact that you can be invaded even when hollow is also something that I imagine casuals didn't particularly appreciate.
So yeah, what the fuck are you on about?
>>

You should go to the top of the fat angels tower and punch each other to death.
>>
>>144937838
The two biggest examples should be obvious.

1. Soul Memory
2. Enemy Extinction

I just started the game, so he's at SL 20.
Was about to kill the crystal mage?

Want to meet me at half way fortress?

Reply and let me know you're coming so I don't go out there for nothing.

>>144938103
Soul Memory was a shit decision but it doesn't make the game casual, it's just an idiotic way of deciding match making.
It also limits (to some extent) how many consumables you can get. I don't see how any effect of Soul Memory makes the game more casual.

Enemy extinction was something more annoying than casualized but at least you have a point here.
>>

okay im on my way

It makes the game more casual because casuals never stop leveling anyway. It panders to them and screws over people that want to stop at a certain level for reasons such as PvP, or co-oping in certain areas.

Hey dsg, thoughts on a great shield/spear build? Any tips or tricks i should know?

Would it work as a luck/bleed/hollow build? Or would quality be better? Thanks.
>>
>>144941093
spears suck
>>
>>144939696
its because bleed builds up like in DaS, through your i-frames,which is rather annoying
>>
>>144941403
>>144941093
Don't listen to that guy, Partizan, Swordspear and Dragonslayer are all good. Lothric Spear too, but that's a Pike.
>>
>>144941632
I'm using the lothric right now, i love it.

Can anyone tell me how to babby's first luck/hollow build please?
