Someone added me just for this. I heard someone here say people get more mad when they get killed with magic, guess he was right. He played a melee sorcerer with MLGS and a crystal homing soul mass 1shot him.

Post your fanmail guys.

NEED HELP

Need a name for a Soulslike community website. (Basically Fextralife, but better) I have Soulslike.com but I don't like it much...

Any suggestions for a name?

Really, you won't get hit by the L2 if you are non retard who keep whiffing his weapon. The hyper armor isn't that great unless they are already hovering for a while.

just use a vertical weapon and you can interrupt it almost every time


anyway, the most fun i had since Bloodborne weapons and the bone fist.

>>145507620
Anri's Straight Sword is blessed innately, it has HP regen and bonus damage against reanimated enemies, also faith scaling.

It's basically the only non-shit blessed weapon in the game, and it scales better with luck.

>triggered by the truth

In DS1 in the Demon ruins, I can't progress further without the lord vessel correct?

>>145508182
The seperate stats aren't the issue, the inefficiency of heavy armor is the issue.

>>145508182
Separate stats was a blessing.
>Getting poise along with more stamina and better rolls in a single fucking stat

>>145508262
at the golden fog gate nope

>>145508182
Wrong. 2 separate stats are good idea in theory because it prevents heavy armor to be combined with r1+roll spam. However since heavy armor is unnecessary, R1+roll spam stat is the only viable stat investment.

>>145508232
Also, though it's not listed explicitly, all blessed weapons, including Anri's, perma-kill the respawning skeletons.

I don't know if the Blessed Weapon buff does as well, but that'd be neat.

>>145506228
>night lorian
>fighter of the day lothric

>>145508456
>because it prevents heavy armor to be combined with r1+roll spam
oh no it doesn't
you can just go with base vitality, pump endurance into oblivion for more stamina, equip light spammy weapon and use remaining equip load for heavy armor
meanwhile for str builds to do the same they need to waste points in two stats
vitality should not exist as a stat, if anything str should govern equip load with best returns only being achievable from 40 to 60 str

>>145507510
thanks for the new pasta, I'll be sure to spam it on /v/ dork souls threads

>>145507949

they WANTED you to buff those twinblades

>>145508182
endurance giving both stamina and equip load was overpowered
this is a fact

>>145508812
Yeah, I noticed that. It's a shame that pure dex isn't a real class, even fucking Assassin has attunement.

>inb4 bandit

yo did they increase the concord drop rates on the silver knights? anyone noticed a difference?

>>145508905
light weapon builds having more spare space to equip armor without wasting additional points in equip load stats is way more overpowered and unfair to heavy weapons builds

>>145507751
they didn't untill the fucking buff for the WA

>>145507346
only by combo with bleed.

Estus speed reduced to Ds1
Lloyds restored to Ds1
Enable Poise in some fucking form on heavy armor
Str and End give fraction of equip load
Rolls have ending animation and can't be spam chained
Fix straight swords damage, hitbox, speed
Get rid of retarded invasion group prioritization, if you're gonna allow seeds and enforce invader handicaps then there is no reason to have 99/100 invasions be into groups

There I just made pvp 100x better than the current team of nips who don't even play the game

>>145508784
Go on, make a viable heavy armor build then

One thing I've noticed about invading that's rather interesting:
Invading in Lothric Castle, in 50 or so invasions, I'll invade hosts in the same area exclusively, and then move onto a different area, sequentially.

First, I'll invade exclusively solo hosts in the first part of Lothric Castle (eg. after the dancer but before the first bonfire, or between the first and 2nd bonfires) and always spawn within that area.

After 2 hours or so, it'll move on. From then on, I'll exclusively invade hosts that are embarking from the 2nd bonfire. This will mostly be groups of 2-3 and will generally always have just started moving forward when I load in. About half of these fights end up ambushing them at the first group of hollows, while the other half ends up with them still early enough to retreat to the bonfire and camp out there.

Another few hours later, it moves forward again. Now, 90% of invasions will be hostsat or in the process of crossing the boss fog, and those 90% will also immediately fail as I load in. The other 10% will have every shortcut unlocked and be in some point along making the boss runback. Invading at this point is just a waste of time as you almost never actually find or reach the host before getting sent home. After a few hours of this, it'll go back to the start again.

There are a few outliers, but this is pretty consistent. You'll invade hosts in the same part of the area every single time, until you move on to a different area. It's too consistent to be a coincidence, which leads me to believe that the matchmaking system for invasions is working on some strange rolling segmentation where it's only looking for viable invasion targets in one part of an area at a time, and changes that part at timed intervals.

tl;dr if you're getting shit spawn locations or invading players too far from where you want to be invading them, try again another time.

>>145508905
Vit is a good idea on paper, but heavier armor being useless makes it a steep price to pay if you want to look cool with it. Ideally, I'd tie equip load to STR and make DEX after the speed of other actions such as using items.

Ok, so, I do have a question. I'm playing DS2, in the DLC now, and my spells uses are restoring on their own every 120 seconds or so. I don't know why? I've got a Crown on from another DLC, so maybe that's it?

any reason not to kill yuria? Missed her stuff since I didnt summon her

I want to make a low-mid lvl strength build, thinking maybe SL 50 for Aldrich. Do they get a lot of action? Do they only invade past Pontiff or can you invade Irithyll too? What other places could I invade manually at that range? Too high for catacombs?

Now the build, how does this look if I want to use Yhorms? I don't really know what rings to use other than Obscuring and Hornet, Knight is neat cause it's another 5 points I can put in vig/end and FaP is mostly because I can't think of something else.

Well, yes

Why wouldn't you

So my computer runs this game at 25 ish FPS and I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card in the coming weeks.

I was reading up on graphics cards and it seems like there's a few exciting things on the way. Namely, there's the GTX 10 series and the Radeon RX series.

So I only work part time and it's only when my employer has projects rolling in, so I can't upgrade components too often.

Should I go with the GTX 1070 and be set for all the hottest games for a longer period of time, or should I go with the RX 480 for about half the price and just upgrade later down the road when it starts underperforming?

BKS is a great sword not a straight sword.

I'm new to the Souls series and have recently started with Dark Souls 1. At the beginning of the game I decided to play with online functionality off, assuming I could turn it on later once I had the basics of the game down.

Problem is I can't figure out how to turn it back on. I'm not stuck playing offline for the rest of my playthrough am I? I'm like six hours in so I'd rather not start over. What do I do to turn online back on?

I'm on PC if that makes a difference.

How do you beat the katana guy at the start of DS3? the one near on the right of the throne room after beating the first boss?

Im on a PC so the targeting system is gay, so I cant use a bow for anything but initiation. His sweep hits me as Im barreling past him and he recovers too fast for anything but trading blows.

You're the one who has to kill them. It's kind of a bummer, but you gotta be aggressive to get them!

>>145510985
Not on my desktop, but I have 8gb ram, AMD FX 6300 (going to have to upgrade that later, probably when the AM4 processors roll out. Holding out because I'm gonna need a new motherboard as well), and my backup radeon 7870 1gb because my main card fried.

It's definitely my graphics card. My processor isn't the best, but it's not what's bottle necking me at the moment. I'm sure with either the rx 480 or gtx 1070, the processor will be a bottleneck on more than a few games but it shouldn't be urgent.

So yeah, the immediate problem is the graphics card.

Yeah I know so not only was I dubious with your recommendation to roll catch better (aka use a straight sword) You then say that you roll catch ok with a BKS so that's about all the evidence I need to conclude you don't have a clue what you're talking about

He invaded me and I ran away and healed when I was at low health. The whole invasion took about 10 minutes iirc but I distinctly remember "No Way"ing his corpse after I killed him.
That reply came about 15 minutes later, so he typed it out using the on-screen keyboard.

If you reload, the drops appear where he normally spawns, so just sit at the bonfire. All items do that if dropped by NPCs if you don't grab them.

go for the GTX if you've the stones for it, as it'll last a good time (you can wait for the upgrade, but if it was like that nobody would ever buy GPU's, as there upgrades every 4-6months or so)

rx 480 for some economy
Also,make sure your power source and cooling systems can handle those cards, as frying them on ignorance is something you won't ever forget

It would be fine in BB if you didn't have to spend so much time dealing with the story chalices every single time. The root chalices were pretty nice. Especially when you got crazy shit spawning in them.

The fact that the Tracers are in the game files, but with them nor Ciaran's armor not actually being obtainable makes me think she (or maybe even the Lord's Blades) might have a big role in the upcoming DLCs. I mean, you'd think that they'd put in all the knight references in the game and not just her ring, right?

I fucking did it. I died afterwards because he cast Calamity on me and then got a lucky hit in, but damn it feels good.

It turns out that the way to get in to do his tail slam, you have to meet two criteria: (1) you have to be directly behind him when he lands, and (2) you have to be close enough to the base of his tail that the attack can land. So even if he does the swoop, you have to be far enough away at the beginning that he lands close enough to where you are.

>roll past all the arrows
>time roll perfectly to kill left one
>finally roll all the way to right one
>try to parry, fail
>partial parry knocks me down because lol fast roll no armor
>shield as I come up, knockback hits me off the ledge

it's by far the worst designed sequence of this entire game and you rose tinted fuckfaces will still defend it as a casual filter

play the game first bud

A large sword with a thorny, spiraled blade.
Now abandoned and most of it's power lost, it seems that it once dominated foes, but in an area with ancestral spirits or a monolith forest, you may be able to see it's past sky-cutting power.

It's referred to as the "Ancient Dragon Halberd", though it really looks more like the Glaive weapons. Unfortunately, I couldn't say for sure what its moveset is. The only reason I was able to identify the Tracer moveset is because the colored streaks the Tracers are known for are attached to the moveset instead of to the model.

>Kill the left one
What the fuck, why?

Once you're toe to toe with the right one the Left Archer literally cannot hit you no matter what if you don't back up.

Git gud and then get out you absolutely massive faggot.

He's more of a gimmick than pontiff and both Gundyr fights. And why do you have Royal Rat Hierarchy in a ds3 list?

Sooo... Is SOTFS alive?

>>145515020
>Killing the left one

If you walk straight over to the right one, there's a tower between you and lefty protecting you from the arrows. You're putting in too much effort.

>>145515203
it was on sale I think so probably

>>145515203
the sale bought some life back to it on PC

>tfw you fell for the "no invasions above sl80" meme

>>145515020
keep rolling until right knight uses his sword
then parry his ass
dont lock on it will make you fall

I just started SotFS
Is there anything easily missable/tips in general that's worth knowing about beforehand

>>145515075
I've already beat the game
>>145515080
Okay. I just wiki'd it.

Surprised I missed it. That probably would have saved a lot of time.

Yeah he's a gimmick my bad

>>145514517
>(If we base of the same rules we did for DaS1 of parrying = gimmick)

You shouldn't, really.

The only reason Parrying became a gimmick with Gwyn is because his AI falls into an extremely exploitable loop where you can just keep parrying him with almost no variance in his actions after the first riposte.

>>145515315
Yeah. The game doesn't get any better.

So i just fought Ludwig in BB for the first time and i have to say that no moment in DS3 so far comes even CLOSE to the pure hype of a phase transition and its music.
Wonder what From will have to do to surpass it with DS3 dlc. Primordial Serpents battle where they morph into a single being in a second phase that wields Dark Slayer?

>>145515115
I see! That makes me feel like looking all over archdragon for a shrine we missed. Have you found any other unique movesets?

>>145515315
play the game

>>145515315
Just play the fucking game or look up easily missed things on google if you really want to know.

I hate people like you who have to ask "is ther x i should do/get" before starting the goddamn game.

Fuck you.

>>145515315
>tips
abandon the game
jokes aside, lvl up adaptability when you have the chance it will save you

>>145515315
You need to summon npcs for bossfighs in order to do their questlines.
