I listened to the DaS2 soundtrack today and I wept. I realised that I can never again play that game and enjoy it.

>>145560218

i liked DaS2 but the soundtrack is the worst of the whole series

>>145560218
That's not true! It still holds its own merits, and enjoying a game is about just having fun, not thinking about the meta of it all. Just enjoy it for what it is, and not what it isn't.

I've been doing SL25 invasions in the undead settlement and really enjoying it desu. Not even twinked, just normal character with shitty rings atm, using a +2 RH Halberd and a +1 blessed R&W shield I got from around there.

On the one hand I'm finding even here, parrying is still the most important skill to have, but even then I don't mind since parrying is something I've avoided for over 300 hours of gameplay (it's pretty useless for SL120 PvP of any kind since everyone knows how to play around them or just uses an ultra weapon), and there seems to be no better way to practice parrying than low level invasions.

>low levels is the only place parrying is important

Pretty sure it's important for literally all levels of invasions considering wherever you are you need a way to 1-2 hit kill people or they'll just out-heal and outnumber you.

Ultimately I'm going to have backup saves at SL25, 40, 50 (heard it was good for low end aldrich invasions), 60, and 80. What I want to really see is at what point seed use becomes cancerous and excessively common.

I'm pretty happy with fighting 1v3 or even 1v4 if it means I can run back to mobs. If it's just me vs. the host then I never use mobs but if I'm getting ganked I think using mobs is absolutely fair and honestly, how invasions are supposed to work. Invader + mobs vs. host + his cronies.

But otherwise yeah pretty sure parrying is pretty damn important for invading at any level, it's just that SL20-30 is low enough that you don't need hornet ring to kill people usually and it's far less cancerous since you can often find people just playing the game naturally (again, how invasions are supposed to work imo, not people waiting for you with their SL200 password summoned buddies).

No idea, I think uninfused is usually the best, but you might as well throw a heavy gem at it on a pure faith build and see no real difference.

>>145564282
When you went NG+ in DS2, three boss specific things happened

With the lost sinner, once she got down to 60%~ health, pyromancers would spawn in with some seriously powerful stuff

Flexile Sentry had two of those ninja rats drop in with him during the fight

And the Duke's Dear Freja pulled a surprise motherfucker and appeared early in the area to harass the player, before retreating back. Health damage done to her there would be retained for the actual boss fight

are you trolling?
your entire post looks like you're trolling but somehow I still feel you're being serious

>>145563532
fuckin REKT kid

>>145564425
Depends,

SL25/+2 is good for low level invasiond
SL50/+5 is a good range for aldrich fun
SL80/+10 is decent for end of NG invasions
SL90/100/120 is more duel oriented (or NG+) and 'meta' is more prevalent, but it can be fun - ganks here tend to hurt a lot though

Ganks are pretty common across any range due to passworded phantoms. Make backups and see how far you can push it before you feel you're crossing out of a bracket. +8 weapons are also the first tier than can invade 3 levels down, so if you keep your level low (40~50) w/ a +8 weapon you can invade down to +5 weapons.

You'll be better off with Large Arrows.

Wood arrows do 30 Physical Damage.
Fire arrows do 25 Physical and 40 Fire.
Large arrows do 55 Physical.

Against something with a very high Fire defense, the 40 Fire damage will do less than the extra Physical damage from the Large Arrows. Also, Large arrows cost half as many souls.

>>145562145
its pretty bad when in a pvp session spanning 1-2 hours i can count on one hand the times i said "that was a good/fun fight" but i would need a fucking secretary to keep track of how many times I said "horseshit/theres no fucking way that hit me/how can he possibly have that much range/salty bullshit etc etc"

its fucking wild how bad collison detection actually is in this game. you almost have to play it by imagining that whatever weapon your opponent has is twice as long and a decent bit wider.

On top of that it teaches you bad habits by trying to play around bullshit so that low latency fights suffer a bit because you're still afraid of the high impact sexual ghost violence

I win enough that it keeps me going but sometimes you just cant fight the long dick of the ghost

That explains it, some builds shine better at some stuff than others. Pyros and Sorcerers are really good during invasion clusterfucks. Most who complain about quality only mean to talk about duels where hitting most non farron/whip/surge spells relies too much on mistakes and there's no enviroment to use.

Any more I need? What about that watchdog thing? How worried should I be about getting invaded by hackers, and how bad is twinking in general?

Playing Das3, this is my first Dark Souls game, having come from Bloodborne. I started as a Knight but do I really need to focus on shields? Using a shield + 1h sword + bow + armor all together seems to over encumber me pretty easily. Also like I said, having come from BB, I tend to forget about being able to block and just instinctively roll instead and that seems to work out decently. Should I maybe just drop my knight's shield for a buckler or other small shield to use for parrying and any blocking I might be forced to do?

>>145568638

And Force is unironically the best miracle in the game.

BB was my first too. Honestly, I think having shields is pretty pointless in this game, considering how fast the rolling is.
I'd definitely recommend a small shield though for parrying if you need it.

>>145569014

I had a crest shield equipped but never used it to parry or block, I always rolled.

>>145568996
There are more hackers and twinks in DS3 right now than in DS1, so if it doesn't bother you in 3 you'll be fine.

Yep, those be the mods. Using dsfix you can downscale DS1 from 4K and it'll look better than DS3 does.

The only really different mechanics are humanity (no extra health from being human, and you can only turn human at bonfires whereas in DS3 you can ember anywhere), and the estus system. (start with 5, no ash estus)

>Should I maybe just drop my knight's shield for a buckler or other small shield to use for parrying and any blocking I might be forced to do?

Yes. I'm pretty partial to the +1 blessed red & white shield you get in the undead settlement myself. You also get the caestus there, it's still great even though the recovery frames were nerfed (still super fast start up but you can't spam it anymore, but that's a good thing for the health of the game).

I did my entire first playthrough with just a 2H lothric knight long spear and got gud at rolling, you can use them but you honestly don't need them and against heavy hitters they can be a liability since if you hit 0 stamina while blocking you will get riposted.

That's all PvP though, in PvE shields are easy mode.

You don't need a bow, just get throwing knives.

>>145569014
Using shields is boring, haven't used one for anything but parrying since my first playthrough of DS1. Two hand and/or use a parrying shield (buckler or target shield) for maximum fun

>>145569345
oceiros & vordt exist

>>145569237
I like having the bow on hand but yeah I suppose I could just equip it as needed. Also is there any decent looking leather in this game? I feel kinda silly using a rapier + bulky knight armor.

Is there any miracle build that's good for leveling and some sl 80-100 pvp? I rolled with Cleric and pretty much went mostly faith/attunement so I could use Lightning Spear when I first get it in Farron Keep, but it's kinda ass. Sucked it up and went for Lightning Stake and honestly feel like giving up at this point. Last invade I had I hit him point blank for like ~250 damage with Stake, +5 Sunlight Talisman and around 40 Faith with Mornes ring. The stamina, focus, and hp cost for trading Lightning Stake hits is so bad in pve and pvp right now. I think the best way to play would to be just pump vigor/endurance with a raw ass until I beat Cinder and just respec once I get Sunlight Spear, which really defeats the purpose of a faith run in my eyes.

>>145569345
Vordt is far and away the easiest boss. There's no competition. Even if he wasn't the first boss with very low hp and damage, he's just too easy to get underneath or behind and buttfuck. Only his phase 2 charge is dangerous, and one you survive he'll probably get himself killed charging his ice breath.

Wolnir and deacons are both very easy, but could be challenging on a first attempt or depending on your weapon.
Wolnir's weaknesses are pretty obvious, but the death cloud under him can definitely take you out if he starts crawling before you know his deal.

The tree can actually be a bit annoying. Hard to see what he's doing when you're close, the turning swipes, plus you can get bad luck with the mobs, and you may not notice the weak spots on his hand and foot. Still not hard, but dying isn't outside the realm of possibility.

Oh, and crystal sage. Generally very easy, but you can get bad luck when the clones come out. Like getting hit by a soul spear the instant you leave cover, and then get combo'd to death.

I feel like SotFS buffed the Ring of Binding quite a bit.
I was pretty back in Vanilla DS2, it only kept you 75% hp but now i keep you at 90%

DS3 gave me an unhealthy Zombie fetish

haven't played in a while, what are the best parry tools after the patch? have the weapons change much in terms of pvp?

sage is actually pretty difficult on a melee build if you don't use throwing dagger cheese & very difficult on a caster build

I'd put oceiros above everything on your list except vordt

vordt > vordt again > more vordt > three vordts at once > oceiros (melee) > iudex > tree > wolnir (after you read a guide)

Yeah, From Soft and their waifus...

>>145570913

The only thing that was changed was the caestus recovery frames got nerfed from 2 to 14. All of the others are exactly the same, fampai.

Caestus still has the fastest start-up, you just can't spam it anymore and can actually be backstab punished with it now. Other than that, depends on your playstyle and preferences. I prefer small shields myself.

sage actually isn't difficult on anything if you aren't a retard

What is it with From and putting a bunch of limp-wristed girlymen with shitty spells that aren't even fun to fight against in their games when most of their other battles against humanoid enemies prove they can make so much better things than "it's a wizard, have some poor man's danmaku".

Seriously, these three bosses were the least satisfying things in the entire series for me. And aside from Aldrich who managed to spam arrows into me like it was his day job they weren't even challenging or testing anything other than my patience.

I've never had much trouble with Oceiros, but I've seen too many streamers get wrecked by him again and again.
In any case, he does enough damage to be a threat.

Iudex's second phase can actually be a fairly challenging first boss depending on your starting class.
Also, I forgot to mention the wyvern. I guess if you don't realize you have to plunge, or try to plunge the body instead of the head, it could be tough on a first attempt. But after that, it's just a 30 second sprint to beat a boss.

>>145571206
oh, ok, gotcha. fair point

It's mostly hollow related though so you should have an idea.

Reminder that Dark Souls 3 has less enemy variety than Bloodborne.

actually now that I think about it, I think I remember seeing someone bug her out using a straightsword which didn't allow her to teleport until your stamina bar ran out

if you used that I could see it being easy

>>145571364
>he does enough damage to be a threat.
the problem with him is how slow he is
if he hits you you can take a sip

wyvern is a pretty hard run to the boss fight with a lot of things that can stop you on your first run

if you assume you can just run off instead of jump off you die too
