those monsters are without a doubt the creepiest enemies in the game, even if they are piss easy.

>>146133635
I dont think they'll be doing any reworking, if youre still hoping for poise Im doubtful that will happen either. Also japanese crowd likes no poise, they also like gank squads

reminder poise is working as intended and increases active hyper armor frames on attacks with hyper armor so get good

>>146133102
>they might be experienced

Didn't ever say that, in fact, again, twinks in 1 have gigantic benefits due to them dealing and recieving a amounts of damage the invaded person could never hope to. You didn't even need to be so skilled for that since you can rush a slab and chunks in a few hours. Against such invade you need to land dozens of hits knowing a single one spells death and that he likely can heal much more than you can, pretty much the same issue presented by ganks in 3.

Also
>typing...like...this

>>146132856
The point is, the very same people who abused 1's weak matchmaking system whine about 3's, when in the end the impact is the same, only the PvP is heavily favoured to the other side, if they do engage asshole techniques like ganks, just like 1 had plenty assholish ways to invade and that the host couldn't do shit about. 3's matchmaking true issue lies into the host recently discovered invasion immunity, if that is any true, then the system would be almost flawless should From remove it.

>>146133635

Honestly anon I think they just need to do some numbers adjusting to make pvp more lively. The lack of incentives for pure STR/DEX builds compared to quality and how Magic either has lol 1000k+ damage or absolute shit along with some weapons completely outclassing others in their class are the main issues imo currently, and all those take are some simple adjustments to make things on a more level playing field to make things more varied. Now will that actually happen in a satisfying way? Probably not.

>>146133896

I actually like how that works because to me Poise should always benefit heavier weapons, the problem is it's just underpowered right now which is why people don't even notices its effects. Increasing it so that around 20-30 poise did things like make the hyperarmor delay between two Great Weapon swings barely there at all would be terrific.

>>146135407
She's actually just luring undead to Drangleic so they claim the throne (link the fire). Probably in league with Frampt or something. DaS2 is pretty much non-canon anyway, as much as i hate to admit.

I now know why 2 looks so weird. It looks like Bloodstained did before they added the shaders. Everything is oddly flat. Nothing looks right. 2 was clearly made for next gen platforms and then scaled back for current. So they removed all the shaders and did whatever they could with it. It is a visual mess. Something just looks so off about it.

It's a testament that the game is a step down from the original.

I won't hear any other reason for the Capital besides "time budget".

At least it's still better than lots of DS2 and Izalith.

Just started playing DaS2 and I'm looking for a bit of info
Coming from DaS the hud (especially hp/stamina) seem really small, are there any decent mods to change it?
Are human effigies just humanity? It says something like it prevents you from being invaded so does that mean when you're hollow you're going to get invaded many times instead of the other way around?
Thanks

>>146135739
Perhaps they didn't work in previous patches? I certainly didn't know about it until a few days ago.

>>146135729
I seriously fucking hope they expand massively on the Capital in the DLC, because talk about a letdown. "Profaned Capital", more like "Profaned quarter of a city block"

>>146129878
But I am playing DS2 softs on PS4 senpai
and bloodborne is the best souls game in my opinion

>>146135772
You ever notice how you have the option to burn an Effigy at a bonfire? That is what prevents invasions, only in the area you burnt the Effigy, and only for 30 minutes.

>>146135826
It's possible, I guess. The last patch did change casting speeds, but I've no clue if they were possible prior to that.

>>146135839
>in my opinion
fuck off Andrew

>yhorm 1-shots at +30
welp

>>146135876
Also it's automatically applied to any area where you kill the boss. The 30 minutes only counts down when you're in the affected area, and can be disabled at any time via an option at the bonfire.

Without this effect, you can host invasions in areas where the boss is already dead, unrestricted.

>>146135954
Still, I didn't even know that it was possible in DaS1 until you posted. It's impressive how DaS1 still hides secrets from me. Thanks

>>146135954
The recent patch upped the casting speed on Black Flame, making a Chaos Orb into Black Flame possible, which stunlocks the enemy into taking the lava damage if the GCFO was aimed right.

This was not possible before the patch, and is not possible with great combustion.

Pyromancers are literally capable of doing 1200+ damage with GCFO+Black Flame because of this.

Combine this w/ a Chaos Estoc in the left hand and you can chain a left-handed Estoc L1 into the combo at the end.

Hilarious.

>>146136262
To add on to my original post, this change literally made Pyro the best in the game.

It's a good thing you can't be a shitter to freeaim GCFO consistently, otherwise this would be FUBAR.

>>146136404
Yeah. Not many in there

>>146136410
>>146136262
You can also true combo black flame into combustion. Truly a great time to be a Pyro.

Now should I level mine to 120 is the big question. Wiki seems to have a plentiful invasion pool.

>>146136172
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhUKI2--6V8

The only issue with it is that you would never hit anyone remotely decent with pyromancy, and DWGR Black Knight Shield and toggling hard countered it.

>>146136262
Ah, alright then. Strange that they only buffed Black Flame though.

Alright, how do I git gud in PvP?
PvE is trivial by now, but that's pretty much just rote memorisation of patterns. When it comes to PvP, I just tend to fall apart. My reaction times suck because I'm old and I've got brain disease issues, but even against obvious R1 spammers and other shitters I can clearly see and recognise for what they are, see their patterns and so on... I'll still lose more than I win.
What do, /dsg/? Is PvP just not for me? I bloody love this series to bits, and the thought that I just can't grasp such a big part of it eats at me.

It's a fun boss fight except for the fact that the entire game just blends into one monotonous shade of black. It feels like I'm playing doom 3 and it makes it annoyingly difficult to see which kind of attack he's doing, or if it's even an attack not just his idle pose or a sidestep.

The aesthetics are fundamentally different.
DaS2 is some kind of twisted Norman fantasyworld warped by an inhuman sorcerer-scientist and a malignant shard of all-consuming darkness.

DaS3 is some jumbled mishmash of late Byzantine and middle-english medieval with some old fashioned DnD and some snowy vatican thrown in for flavour. Most DaS2 fashion would look woefully out of place in the setting and environments of 3.

I like the look and the move set, but I feel like it probably scales bad in end game.

>Mostly play a mage
>can deal with most other classes with ease, besides maybe katanas and curve swords
>everyone complains about Goddard swords, I hate them too "hurr roll poke, durr roll poke" all fucking day long

Holy fucking shit these things are OP as fuck. Couple that with a clutch roll poke and you almost can't be beat.

It's a solid option for a DEX build. Fast, deceptively wide attacks and easy on the stamina.

>>146139646
The L2 has almost no range, it takes an idiot to land one.

>>146139117
I kind of like it
On one hand, upgrade materials are a precious and invaluable lategame resource and the fact that they can be bought means that souls remain valuable after you stop leveling, unlike the previous games.

At the same time, I think they're a little too scarce. It reminds me of Bloodborne where I feel discouraged from making new builds because I just can't be fucked to farm all the upgrade materials to make all the weapons that would keep that build interesting.

alright I'm playing ds2 after finishing das and gotta say not really enjoying at fucking all
feels more like a weird hack and slash where you take a lot of damage rather than actually being a difficult game, everything's a lot faster which is fine but weird ranges and hitboxes keep fucking me
I'll keep playing it for now I'm sure but will end up getting ds3 regardless- is 3 more like 1? because right now 2 feels so vastly different from des and das it's off putting
this is just my opinion

>>146139416
It's fucking amazing, probably the best greatsword.
It's solid scaling dex-leaning quality with a godlike moveset.

Take full advantage of the 2HR2s and the weapon art, they're both amazing.

just let us fucking CE builds again

DaS1 didn't have a hard soft cap aside from 50. It was a gradual decline from 30 onwards. You also got better returns at higher values.

Check the difference between 20-30 vit and 30-40 in das1.

You got way more bang for your buck from like 19-27 vit after that it drops

Would you play a mage if you had spells that summoned skeletons, ghosts, and could raise dead bodies as minions?

>>146141513
The rings may not make a difference to someone with <30 vig but when you want to twink and stay below the curve you want to have them to give you the edge because that 2% more health as you say, can make or break a fight in a gank squad which you will run inot a bunch when you twink

Uh, no. 2% is 2% whether you have 10 vigor or 40 vigor. That's the way percentages work.

It's not 2% "as I say". The normal fap ring gives 3% extra health. The +2 fap ring gives 5%. Same for stamina and equip load, 2% increase. The life ring gives you 7% extra health, +3 gives you 10%. 3% extra health.

The chances of that making a difference are miniscule. It would be a fucking fluke if it actually made a difference.

>>146142364
Are you stupid? A twink wanting to stay at 25 and wield the dragonslayer axe for maximum butthurt will not get 30 vig or even 27 without gundyrs cockring so in order to supplement it you use the life ring +3 and RoF+2 which will maximize your vig to almost about the same as the host as well as more than a regular phantom without the rings
Try twinking for once you dense cunt
Also take into consideration that the host isn't running around with +10 weapons so a +2 longsword isn't going to rip you at 1176 HP assuming the cockring is also on which it is quintessential for a twink build also

Iron is much more of a straightforward design. No zelda-y puzzles or panic runs through mazes full of invincible ghost knights, just straight a straight gauntlet of room with enemies to room with enemies, where the only focus is on making each enemy encounter a brick wall of shits each in a different way.

To its credit, the overwhelming majority of encounters are really well designed and have clever little environmental cues that allow you to take the fight apart indirectly. It's still not as cool as sunken, though.

Why do I have so much trouble going back to DaS1 after playing the third for so long

>>146146165
27str 60 faith
dragonslayer 2 handed, lothric knight sword 2handed with slb

>>146146165
Pick K***ht as starting class
Get 60 faith

There you go

>>146146292
DUNNO. Probably just not used to the weapons being slower. Also the dodge timing being different. Other than that I couldn't tell you friendo.

>>146145684
Rumors put it in August.

>>146146292
The same reason the sword master smacked your shit coming fresh from DaS1

2 of them are related
other is literally me

>>146146740
?

>>146146846
str doesn't work like that in DaS3

>>146147261
It does you mong. It was just a bug on the stat screen, last patch fixed it.

>>146147315
No, they fixed 2handing showing different stats correctly, but strength does not scale into 2handing like it does in DaS1

>>146147665
lmao
where have you been?

>>146147665
I get more scaling when I twohand shit. You can actually see the difference now.

>>146147874
Yes you do more damage

no you don't get 50% more strength

DO I COSPLAY AS DRAGONSLAYER ARMOUR OR MORNE
WHICH ONE

>>146147989

well one is literally impossible so id say morne

>>146147989
We don't even know who Morne is.

>>146147945
>no you don't get 50% more strength
Yes, you do. It works exactly like DaS1.

If you 2-hand with 27 Str, your AR in the stat screen will be the same as 1-handing with 40 Str.

i guess it's a BIG COINCIDENCE that x str 2handed gives the EXACT SAME AR as 1.5x str onehanded

Really? Not a single one of the weapon modes is a katana?

>>146148516
Does the faggoty dex build that backflips mode so it counts

katana wouldn't be easy to portray as well

Karla Hat and Fallen Knight chestpiece, stolen from another anon, gundyr gauntlets cuz they're sexy and Drakeblood boots but I've since swapped for knight boots cuz I want a torch equipped.

>>146140979
>Early areas too tedious to make new characters

This and the relative scarcity of stamina are the things that feel the most DS2 about this game, and I don't like either thing.

>>146149012
at least you admit you were wrong

there were people claiming that adp didn't influence iframes in ds2, like 6 months after release

Oh?
This is already the end of Iron King?
I feel like I missed something.
I still have to do blue smelter but is there something else?

Allone. Go to the floating samurai armor

>>146149826
>>146149758
It used to be fucking fantastic but during PS4 japanese days the baby slant eyed japs got so unimaginably salty that it was nerfed into the dust

Now the only thing it's worth is the obscene range on the R2 and the 1k damage on the L2 R2

>>146149826
fun is up to you
it makes you wear rags, and maxes out with less damage than quality profained and only marginally more than quality astora or zwei

>>146150046
it's because they kept trading with the WA like morons only to be slapped by 1k+ damage
