With Miyazaki not being involved with Dark Souls 3's DLC, what are the chances they will fuck it up? What are the chances the team working on it know how to make it as good as past DLC's?

so uh, is it possible to uncensor your name with CE in DS3 like it was in DS2?

dont tlel me what to do

>>146979259
They'll fuck it up massively.
Dark Souls content is literally about Miyazaki's nightmares, not the dev's.

>>146979259
>what are the chances they will fuck it up?
they fuck up if they do it like the first two DLC's of DS2: no NPC's. good bosses, good invaders, no story. Frostland DLC did that shit pretty good

>>146979421
I feel bad for eveyrone waitong for DS3'd DLC to reedem the game if they already not enjoy it, if that's the case. Maybe if they somehow implemented the DLC in a way to let you sequence brake?

>>146979452
Shulva was 10/10 pevel design tho.

>>146975969
Who /SoTFS/ here on PC?

Just how bad are the PC versions of the Dark Souls games un-modded?

I don't have a console and am thinking about picking it up on steam but I've heard mixed things about the ports. I do have a controller, which I hear is necessary to play Dark Souls.

From a objective point of view, people hated DS2 more for the graphic downgrade than anything else?

I almost feel guilty for liking this game more than DS1, I'm liking Drangleic and it's lore a whole lot more.

Nah, I played Dark Souls 2 te day I found out there was a Dark Souls 2 and with no expectations. Still was disappointed.

Anither problem I think people have is that they come from Dark Souls 1 wothout knowing you gotta level up ADP to make your rolls work and think the game's i-frames are fucked.

Another problem with the priginal Dark Souls 2 was that you started out with one estus and no 100% phys shield. Combine that with low adap and the first hours of the game were just annoyingly bad.

Most of that was fixed in SOtFs. Don't frel bad about liking DS2, I used to like it more than BB. Just let these games grow on you.

>>146981727

Unmodded PC DaS = Xbox DaS

If you mod it you can make it behave like a PC game should.

DaS2 and DaS3 work ok out of the box, but mods will improve the experience.

>>146982165
>If you mod it you can make it behave like a PC game should.
What is it lacking that I would need?

>>146982240
frame unlocking/limiting and rendering options mostly.

Don't even try to play without a controller btw.

>>146982240

Proper keyboard and mouse support, good antialiasing, resolutions higher than 1280x720 (I don't think it even renders at that res), higher fps than sub 30.

>>146982240
And a mod to connect to other people in order to enjoy multiplayer.

Is there a collection of series lore somewhere on the net? Compiled in a coherent manner, not a wiki. I'm starting to think DS2 lore is more appealing than DS1/3.

>>146982543
>>146982559
>>146982645

Would DS fix take care of all this?

>>146982743
Yes. But you need DSCM to play online.

Alright, I'm burnt out on souls for now. What do?

>>146982913
Play Bloodborne.

>>146982165
Modding for DaS2 is dead, because it doesn't work for SotFS.

>>146982743
DSfix is bare minimum, browse Nexusmods or read the sticky for other good texture fixes. If you want to take advantage of the multiplayer, DSCM and PvP Watchdog.

>>146982743

There are actually quite a few mods now that are useful.

>DSfix
Mandatory, unlocks higher resolutions and framerates and some graphics options
>DSMfix
Fixes the KBM controls
>pvpwatchdog
Fixes the namecrash bug
>DSCM
Fixes the Steam matchmaking

>>146983164
Still like my suggestion from the other thread with spells, some parts like Anor Londo SKs, Cathedral Rafters or Archdragon would require said player to stand back too far while waiting for phantoms to clear. With hidden body it's not be an issue.

>>146983552

what the fuck

>>146983284

There's a DSfix equivalent, but it's still quite buggy.

>>146983721
That's about the only thing in their favor.

>>146983280
Because everyone can't literally get good. And some people really want to finish the game. Not everyone has young man reactions and coordination anymore. Some of us have gotten old or suffered injuries and illness since demon souls.

>>146983398
Well not much of a point going sharp. Missing less than 10 AR I believe. Also because as the build levels higher you want to pump str next or possibly luck as well for a quality build.

>>146982937
He said he's burn out on Souls games.

>>146983748
I wouldn't know since my computer can't run DS3. But why did they change it? The host is the one at a disadvantage, since he has to deal with the enemies and is going to lose a precious resource if he dies.

>>146983861

Sorry friend, I don't discriminate. I believe everyone can git gud and if you baby them like this, then it just becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You help new or bad players by telling them what they could do better or why X is good and Y isn't, but by giving them a cookie cutter "free wins lol" build and tell them to have other people play the game for them.
That's cynical as hell and I can't support it.

Invader gets half the amount of estus that either he or the host has, I dont recall which. Invasions always STRONGLY prioritize hosts with phantoms. Phantoms summoned with password can be summoned at any level no matter how much higher it is. Overlevelled phantoms suffer a minor descale in damage. They can also heal.

>>146984206
Anon, some people's bodies and reactions simply aren't as healthy as they used to be. Build was made thinking about those whose age is affecting their performance or who may have experienced injuries or health problems rendering them unable to play properly. It's to still make finishing the game possible.

>>146984803
Oh, ok. It's more common to get ganked in DS3. It's why I play with miracles in DS2, so I can heal if the guy runs away from me to chug 4 estus down.

>>146984206
You take your youth and health for granted most likely.

As you get older or if you have certain injuries or illness it becomes next to impossible to have the reflexes for certain builds and playstyle.

There are some people who have been waiting years to finish the souls series. Not everyone is as good as they were during their first souls series or possibly better because they were at such a young age during their first entry

>>146984809
That's a nice thought, but how often do you get paired up with disabled people?

>>146984991
Every time I tag a red sign at pontiff's

>>146984938
One more thing; it seems somehow harder to punish estus in DaS3. In DaS2 if you were close enough you could usually even it out with a backstab. But for some reason its fucking impossible in DaS3 and the host will almost always get away with a sip

>>146984809
>>146984983
You're right, cripples and old fucks don't deserve to have fun. The next from game should just be an interactive move so as to not exclude it's major audience.

>>146985103
That's because estus heals instantaneously, like in DS1, isn't it? My friend also told me there's no poise and you can roll around like a madman, so I imagine it's easy to get far, heal and be ready to fight when the other guy gets close.

>>146984803
>invasions have bigger chance to target phantoms

Debunked, what happens is that anyone who gets invaded gets an invasion immunity. You can only remove such with finger, summoning or invading. It's not that they're more likely to, but simply that the pool of possible targets has a higher amount of phantom worlds.

>decide to watch the Darkwraiths go against the Ghrus in Farron Keep perimeter
>they carve through them like they're made of butter
>notice the Darkwraiths behave weirdly when they're out of view, resettin positions, changing direction they're walking etc.
>try something
>reload, walk out and keep the Darkwraiths just out of sight range
>watch their healthbars
>they get absolutely demolished by the Ghrus
Huh.

>>146985310
Yes, it's near instant, as is the recovery time after the drinking animation.
In DS1 you could easily run up to someone and bs them while or after they chug, but that's basically impossible unless you were already in position to do so already, but

What, they don't become active if you're not close enough?

>>146985494
How can From fuck something up every time? They had it almost perfect on DS2 with the covenants, but they added soul level. In DS3, they get everything right but the combat is pretty fucked up.

>>146985681
Miyzaki literally hates pvp.

>>146985663
No, they did do damage to the Ghrus, but it was absolutely piddling compared to what they did when I was in range and looking directly at them.
Even looking away seems to revert them to a really stripped-down combat AI.

When an NPC invades you and you die, will they invade again?

whew... pyromancy is hard as fuck to kill ppl with
After 20 invasion or so I failed a good 15

Then went on my STR guy and did a 10 win streak at pontiffs

Now I am bored again
This game man...

>>146984861
I'm actually using the fallen knight armor because it is actually really good and efficient. Black Knight shield has vastly superior stability compared to grass shield and it's also 100% block

>>146985840
Only when you're embered.
>>146985863

If you ember up and go into the area that triggers their invasion, yes.

>>146985963
I miss DaS2 fireballs, where you had a frame advantage if they rolled through your spell and you didn't even need to rely on them for damage because they functioned as setup spells.

>>146985984
Don't roll so much, fuck. I get that they cost almost nothing but you panicked like crazy and got yourself killed after a pretty minor mistake.

>>146985259
Well that's why it's possible to make a build in das3 already without having to be an MLG progamer.

>>146985963
Yeah I do practice it.
That is the hard part I was talking about lol

>>146985984
If you can't beat bosses by yourself, you're not gud.

And do yourself a favor and play Dark Souls 1 before going into the rest.

>>146985336
No. I played through the game solo and was almost never invaded. But anytime I summon phantom I'm almost immediately invaded

>>146985984
Stick really close to him. Hug his butt. Roll when he swings, but roll TOWARDS him. Try to get in a poke or two when he's recovering from his swing, but don't get greedy. Two-hand your weapon, your shield won't do shit against his attacks unless you actually use it to parry(and I'd hazard to guess you probably haven't even touched parrying yet).

>>146985984
Stop rolling, stop trying to move everywhere. Realize that the CPU's attacks are always going to take precedent over your attacks. Lastly realize that you will not be able to stunlock kill things until you're a higher level and that by mashing any move, including roll, you are only putting yourself in more danger.

>>146986063
Well of course he's just going to blithely walk into your fireballs when he's got a no-damage cheat on.

Someone told me the other day I can pseudocheese Dancer pretty early by dumping everything I have in vig until I get the dark hand. Anyone remind me on that? There was something about stunlocking every 3 hits or something. Which attack? Doesn't seem to work very well for me

>>146986331
Did you not read what I said? After your first solo invasion you're literally immune to non-NPCs invasions. Only 3 ways this could be removed. If you fingered yourself, invaded or summoned. If you don't trust me, go anywhere in your level range, get invaded once, see how long it takes for another invade, then use the orb and try again.

When you summoned, the game didn't alter your chance to be invaded, it simply flipped an on/off switch.

Yellowfinger Heysel isn't showing up anymore, is it because I'm already far in the storyline?

>>146987207
I'm planning a way to get all gestures in one NG. I need to summon Heysel for Proper Bow, which requires giving Rosaria a tongue and not killing Edge Watchers.

Bonfires that should ne removed:
Tower on the wall
Foot of the high wall
Cliff underside
Dilapidated bridge
Road of sacrifices
Crucifixon woods
Farron keep

Cathedral of the deep

Neither does lothric castle's 1st bonfire...when I invade there I always get spawned halfway between Lothric castle and Dragon barracks and I can't tell where the host is because those 2 bonfire are too damn close to each other

>>146991479
I mean I've never really seen a bonfire that close to another bonfire in the series so I figured it was a trap.

sacred oath should be the rank 1 reward for warriors of sunlight

sunlight straight sword is the rank 2 reward

astora straight sword is now a twinkling weapon with b faith scaling, a when upgraded

lightning spear is found in high wall of lothric

great lightning spear where the normal one currently is

there, i just made ng faith builds not a joke

Is parry one shotting in duels fun? I see streams like iskys doing it and I'm like, should I be running a straight sword + offhand caestus build? Maybe a spear + offhand caestus build?

Like

Is that fun? Am I missing out?

>>146992967

parrying in duels is really stupid and bad, in invasions you can just roll away and heal

in duels you are now at 50 percent life vs full

and every player is just going to bait parries as soon as they see the caestus come out

They had this autistic obsession with having at least 1 bonfire in every area named after that area, and I assume they figured it'd be confusing if the Cleansing Chapel had been called "Cathedral of the Deep" since it's a tiny little church shooting off from the main cathedral and not the main cathedral itself.

You can kill the degger snek before aggroing the big snek. The open windows on the right side of the hallway overlook a drop point where you can plunging attack little snek.

You can then go up the ladder, still without aggroing big snek, and plunging attack big snek from above.

I just uninstalled dark souls 3 and went back to rocket league and natural selection 2 with some gungeon on the side. Couldn't figure out how to get any more fun out of it, but got 288 hours out of it at least so certainly worth the money. If they don't make some serious balance changes, especially to invasions, I'll probably drop the game for good except for completing DLC content from the season pass.

Sad but true.

It's neither fair nor fun. 3 ants vs. an anteater is neither fair nor fun, in all honesty you probably have more estus at a higher upgrade level than the host if you're still invading in the undead settlement there. That, on top of using DS axe and caestus, and probably being pretty experienced with using the broken caestus. Hell even if you aren't, even with the nerf, it's still forgiving as all hell, and you still one shot people with, you guessed it, hornet ring.

That doesn't sound like fun at all. Excuse me while I go play other games which are actually fun and, dare I say, BALANCED. Remember that word, faggots, because dark souls PvP is anything but.

No see, balance actually means that the more skilled player wins in the end. See, if things aren't balanced, a player who is less skilled will still be able to win if they abuse something that the more skilled player does not. They have an unfair advantage.

You want to feel powerful just like the other anon, I get that. I'm just saying that you should recognize that you're presenting to everyone who reads your posts that you have the mindset of an immature child. Take that as you will, rage about it if you want, you'll only prove my point further, which is the most beautiful thing about it.

>>146997829

>>146996387
i'd argue that there's a difference between low level invasions and twinking, which is what happens here but when every host has at least 2 buttbuddies, options are getting narrower.
invaders are supposed to be an extra "FUCK FUCK FUCK NOT NOW", not a "cool, estus refill"

>>146997895

If you think you're hot shit because you're stomping shitters in the undead settlement with your perfectly optimized 7 estus flask twink, just because there are 3 of them, then you're probably shit at fighting proper 3v1s.

I'm not saying the invasion system isn't broken, don't get me wrong. It's an unbalanced piece of shit in fact, for many reasons, and to some degree on both sides of the equation. It's why I've avoided it in general.

My point isn't just that you're beating people and that's wrong. My point is that the way you beat people is by essentially making yourself a demigod, creating an all-powerful one-shot-killing character that itself takes very little damage. And that's not fun except for immature children.

You're basically Dr. Manhattan in the Vietnam War. Except with the mindset that you really enjoy that feeling of omnipotence.

Why is Flash Sweat so useless? I doesn't do shit against lava, I still die in like 5 seconds

>>146998098
>High damage is literally the only thing he's got on his side.
He also has the knowledge and all the good pvp items to destroy any new player.
Half estus and reduced damage barely matters when he is 2shotting everyone else

>>146998098
>half estus
He's got six +8 estus as a fucking invader. Most lowbie hosts at that point have four unupgraded or +1 at most.

Speaking of lava, what fucking logic allows you to pick up Sacred Flame?

Usually, spells are taught by merchants, but I suppose you could reason picking up spells by saying they're inscribed on scrolls.
But how the fuck does a scroll survive in lava?

>>146997895
Life is an unfair advantage. If you hate doing anything which is not perfectly balanced, where anything other than your "skill" is the determinate of whether you win the game or not, then yeah, you're boring and salty. Why are you even posting here? Go play Ryu vs. Ryu in street fighter or something.

>>146998098
When you go through the game and gather every estus shard and bone shard before invading, you actually have better estus than the shitters.

>except it's the beginning of the game and it seems like he already got all 14-15 estus, whereas someone in the undead settlement at that level might not even have 7 of his own
>also upgraded higher than someone at that level
>also he takes much less damage with end game gear as clearly seen in the webm and one shots people with caestus parries
>also they're going to generally be noobs who don't know what they're doing vs. someone who is experienced

I mean, really kid? How long have you played the game?

I'll tell you what. Show me some of your SL120 invasions against ganks. That would impress me. Or your friend there, assuming you're not the same person.

Show me the invasions you win where people actually know wtf they're doing and you don't have a gigantic advantage between rings, armor, and weapons.

Better yet show me the video of michael jordan dunking on a team of kids with down syndrome where he feels awesome about himself afterwards.

>For what purpose?
You seem to forget this is From Software.

Who was even the person who designed pestilent mercury and decided that it was ok? Like what even was going through their mind when they said "8 damage per tick? Perfect!"

Lifedrain patch was 20x stronger and it was a mediocre spell

You're literally just saying you're an immature child in this case. Unless you actually have an argument defending using an overpowered character to beat up on the weak and ignorant, I suggest you just stop posting right now.

just did a blind run through in Blighttown and beat the spider lady. Most sressful shit ever

It's not a matter of being afraid to do anything its a matter of invading a group of 3 99 out of 100 times isn't fun for anyone, add that to the fact that you're obviously a scrub who can't fight 3v1 and it isn't a stretch to come to the conclusion that you've invaded maybe a handful of times at most

>all these redditards coming out of the woodworks now that the only effective invasions are really low twinking operations in undead settlement
>I'M THE BIG MAN NOW CHIEF!!!!

It should apply curse but you know, no fun allowed in ds3

The thing about you that's funny is that you call people immature children if they want to have an unfair advantage, but if a game puts you at an unfair disadvantage, you say it's terrible, rather than honing your skill to make up for the handicap.

So if he's a child, I guess that makes you a teenager, and people who are able to have fun by beating the odds are adults.
