It's just a time travel.
Reminder that you go through the corridor lined with stone tablets from Dragoncock Peak, the place where sorcerers can summon people from different eras to fight you.
Also reminder that if you look at the sky through the cracks in the room you can see that room of Oceiros exists in "present" timeline and room after a corridor in "dark" timeline.

Why are you still playing dark souls PvP, /dsg/?

Honestly I feel more sorry for Jund, and other people who have basically dedicated their lives to gitting gud at this game. They don't get to leave even though they're self aware it's shit and their "skills" are entirely meaningless compared to "real" e-sports/fighting games.

Dark Souls 1, undoubtedly.

The moment you land in firelink you can feasibly walk all the way to the fucking bottom of the world and join Path of the Dragon. That's fucking incredible.

You can go almost anywhere you want and the game won't stop you because you're a big boy and you can suffer the consequences, you cheeky fuck.

Dark Souls as a game is just as fun when you're running into area you're too weak for and pillaging goodies under the noses of angry mobs that will one-shot you. Makes repeat playthroughs infinitely more interesting and fun.

Not quite sure if it was just a fluke or something because I have literally no idea how after three more games the developers still fail to replicate it.

STOP PUTTING IN MANDATORY GATING INTO YOUR GAMES.

I fucking HATE how you have to warp back to Majula/Firelink to do anything in 2 and 3. Because warping is there from the start, you can essentially level up/reinforce/whatever from any bonfire, same as 1, but you have to go through 2 loading screens plus dialogue to do so.

I understand they were trying to go for DeS, but DeS had god-tier level design and warping/leveling was meaningful since archstones were so sparse. You got used to infrequent level-ups since you weren't even able to do so until killing Phalanx.
>>
>>147464164
DaS3 is mechanically more difficult, but easier for new players to start and learn through.

DaS1's vaunted difficulty comes from the barrier to entry and how unforgiving it was to players that simply didn't know better because they had just started. DaS3 does a much better job of teaching the player in its early segments, but enemies and combat encounters are more mechanically complex and enemies generally stronger. However, DaS1 didn;t have any weapon as ridiculously strong earlygame as the DaS3 longsword. That shit makes even the stronger enemies fucking trivial due to its comically high damage and low stamina consumption.

IIRC, they mentioned in an interview that they received a great deal of criticism and negative fan feedback from the first game due to how open-ended it was.
Casual gamers had difficulty figuring out where to go, and the open-endedness could end up with players placing themselves unwittingly in untenable situations because they simply didn't know any better.

I remember watching a friend play through DaS1 for the first time. They took the master key because it sounded useful, and using it, without any knowledge of the game or what they were doing or where they were going, headed straight down from Firelink to Blighttown to the Great Hollow. After dying a dozen times on their way down the hollow, they got cursed in Ash Lake and were stuck in the hopeless position of having 1/2 HP at base level and being forced to trek back up from the Ash lake bonfire to Firelink, with every enemy along the way now able to 1-shot them.

They spent 2 hours alone unable to even make it back up to blighttown and then gave up and made a new character.

Did any of the weapons they "fixed" their scaling on have potential for a 40/40 pyro build? I plan on going to ~130 so I have enough stats to spend on str/dex to wield stuff.

So far I've been using a Gargoyle Spear and Witch's Lock. I realize I don't need to use gimmicky weapons and simply infuse something with chaos/dark, suggestions on such weapons are welcome too.
Anyway, I haven't PvP'd yet on this character but the Spear feels a bit too.. "speary" for my taste, I prefer weapons with more variety than only 1 type of move (thrusts in this case). And the Witch's Lock is sort of fun but the WA is just asking to be backstabbed and it has no hyperarmor at any point in the animation it seems so a slight sneeze in my general direction will cancel the super long windup time.

Nah, the best time to do it is once you have a +9 or 10 weapon and Mensis gems. Rushing it right after Amelia is only really recommended if you are trying to rush one of the weapons, like the saif for example.

>>147465189
You can access the DLC as soon as Amelia dies.
The early part of the DLC is fairly easy, and can be taken on at this point without much issue. There's a tonne of loot and weapons and content packed into the first area that are worth going in for.

The first boss will likely be too difficult for you at this stage (though it can be worth a try if you like a challenge), but you can access a tonne of fun gear and loot before reaching it, and then just come back later to finish the rest of the dlc while you're stronger.

Don't wait too long, though. While the DLC is harder than the main game's endgame content, endgame gear is still stronger than what the dlc is balanced for and you can ruin it for yourself by coming in with a +10 weapon and steamrolling everything.

You could go 80 with a pyro and get good enough stats that you can easily 2 shot phantoms and 3 shot hosts with vestiges and avoid the shitters in the 120 area
120 and above are literally twitch tier and YT video tier metas anyone who plays them knows this and it's just a plain fact now, but at SL80 you have more room to survive ganks, duel against different type of builds and even participate in fight clubs where a hornet parry won't be the end of you

An 80 pyro with swamp/witch ring still has the ability to 2 shot phantoms and 3 shot hosts at 30/30 and withstand a barrage of shit with 27-30 VIG
The matter boils down to skill at lower levels, anybody can pick up a estoc/dark sword or card captor and be doing a million damage at 120, but at 80 you need to know how to use them or you get punished.

If the person is retarded, 40 more levels at 120 won't stop them from dying, and being level 80 doesn't change that

Considering neutered casters, mediocre pyros, and minmaxed quality niggers without attunement are level 80's claim to fame I'd say Card Captor is probably more powerful there.

not him but I ran a 80 Battle mage and never had problems with R1 spams since parrying is easy for me, and even if I did get a gank squad I could just move away with obscuring and hunt them down indivdually since the candlestick with all the rings and dork crown CSS knocked out phantoms 1 shot everytime
Really it does boil down to skill in every meta bracket because the same LUL R1 AND YOU DEAD HUEHUE argument can be made at any """"""""""meta""""""""" bracket

Trip on Luci.
Seriously though if you think that people just stand around waiting to get swung at especially with pyro build are playing then you're the one who deserves to get killed because I've never had that issue of r1 spammed, and even if I do get caught offguard I still can find ways to come out on top since my spells are good enough to deal high dmg to the host. It's really about skill at lower levels more specifically 80.

>>147468495
You're an idiot. Do you really think that because the meta is level 120, people don't also have lower leveled characters for co-op and random invasions? You know you have have more than one character, right?

Again, there is no variety at level 80 duels. At that level, Quality has such a large advantage that there is no reason to use anything else. At 120, you have enough stats to play with that other builds can stand a chance in duels.

>>147468678
If two people with the same skill level fight then the one with better build will win, and at level 80, Quality builds are best by a massive margin.

Same here but I have to say that the 120 bracket is far more forgiving for a caster when invading.

I've been 2shotted by some hosts but also 1shotted some people with CSS or GCFB which makes it fun.

Only thing I dislike about that SL is that I can't afford to invest in stats that would allow me to wield a nice weapon without compromising my casting effectiveness.

Naw, they used to be parryable 1H at any range or context
The sweetspot thing is new for Greataxes, though I'm not sure if this patch changed it or a previous one since I haven't tested them since release.

You can find consistent and reproducible results by testing on the parry skeletons, as they always parry a parryable attack during their little stance. It's the best way to determine if something is unparryable since it's inconsistent to reproduce parrying results online.

Just a waste of resources without any real use to them, there's not much of a point in upgrading. Especially since the only real great upgrades are EKS+10, and there's only ever going to be 8 titty slabs a cycle.

Well, you can easily see the series slowly moved from favouring invaders to favouring hosts, except for DeS at times, that's only a natural thing to expect.

That's not a problem of the armor upgrade system in of itself, though. Even if you could +10 Havel's in DaS3, heavy armor would invariably be shit because of how it works in this game.

There's no reason to, without using CE, +10 a Giant's set

The only set worth upgrading in 1 is EKS because at +10 it will be better than Havel's.
>>
>>147473573
Pontiff uses a GS and UGS
>>
>>147473214
Oh, I tested that. There seems to be a class of "heavy" curved swords and "light" curved swords. Basically just the two different movesets all curved swords have.

Heavy Curved Swords use a kick and have an uppercut-y R2.
Light Curved Swords replace the kick with a retreating slash and have the Scimitar's twirly R2. They also parry when in the offhand.

Heavy Curved Swords: Falchion, CCS, Storm Curved Sword, Crescent Moon Sword, Carthus Shotel
Light Curved Swords: Sellsword Twinblades, Dancer's Enchanted Blades, Scimitar, Pontiff Knight Curved Sword, Shotel, Rotten Ghru Curved Sword, Painting Guardian

I might be wrong about the Carthus Shotel. The basic Shotel might have a heavy's R2. Also, I don't know where the Warden Twinblades fit since I never got them. My money's on Heavy though.

It was boring as fuck but a good laugh. I thoroughly enjoyed spamming roll over their corpse.

I've had at least 5 different people try to "passive" me to death in the course of the past dozen fights. Some used bloodring thorn armor and tried rollspam, some just rolled into me constantly with a straightsword, dagger, katana etc and tried to bore me into making a mistake. I even had one guy backstab fish.

Each fight took an age because they never acted first or took any risks or did anything except roll through my attacks and wait for a mistake, but they still all lost because being a passive little shit isn't an auto-win. It just takes patience to beat that trash

Using it right now. Given I'm only like, SL30 something, my impressions are far from complete.
Curved GSes in general don't have any kind of pokes, obviously. If you need pokes for spacing and counter purposes, look elsewhere. The moveset feels better this time around more reliable, less diagonal. Old Wolf in particular is fun to use and has a neato WA that might catch people off guard, but it's certainly not best in class.
>>
>>147473648
I'd much rather they make like 1 where you had to go out of the way to get the orb, maybe make something like darklurker where you get no help to prevent people from spamming phantoms. As it is, they had to do something to filter the shitters, it's just a shame that was gank squads.
Also, as has been shown before, the only change to matchmaking is that From made a third set of players. You have offline ones, online ones and online but non interacting. As soon as you get invaded, you are flung into the online but non interacting group and you keep the functions of messages and ghosts while needing to start interactions again to go back to the first group. This just means the effective online players are much smaller, but all of these are looking for the multiplayer experience, and if they aren't part of a club, nor invading, nor fingered (minorities), the only thing left are those with phantoms for progressing or ganking.

Curved Greatswords have no fast attacks
They can be parried on-reaction on their 1H and 2H R1s
Their 2HR2s and WAs are unparryable

Old Wolf can combo 1H or 2H R1 into its full WA.

R2s are genuinely bad, rolling attacks are short-ranged and mediocre, running attacks are solid but slow.

Curved GS function best when 1H and combined with a high-stability medium shield like BK. The R1s have good HA and the 1HR1s are the fastest 1H attack to have HA, so you can abuse a defense, shield-centric playstyle to fish for HA trades with your R1 into WA.

>>147474396
The only time damage reduction ever mattered on a set is to minmax.

Like I said, EKS at +10 is better than Havel's but that's the only time it matters. There's no point in even getting a set to +5, as the damage reduction is shit across the board until +8-10 range. It's just a sink of time that eats resources.

The thing about the 4Kings is that, since they're a DPS race, they ENCOURAGE low-level invaders to twink up.
>hey, I already have this great weapon and armour I used to kill the kings, why not use them when I invade?

Even the fact that invaders mostly hit gank squads isn't terrible (it makes sense that co-opers should get invaded more). It's:
>reduced health and estus
>seeds
>blueberries summoned immediately
>without a finger, in most areas, there's only 1 invader slot to 4 fucking allied slots
>invaders drop souls where they're killed (wtf, seriously, wtf)
>soul reward is negligible
>ember reward is useless because you get embered anyways

Yeah, that's just it
Okay, wow, you dodged me, great job, we're all very proud of you. Now what?

You don't deplete my healthbar by dodging, and don't make any progress towards beating me just by tapping circle again and again. If you're waiting for a rollstab, I'm sorry but I'm not going to give you one. If you're waiting for me to run out of stamina, you'll be disappointed to learn that I know how to manage it. If you're waiting for me to challenge a rolling attack blatantly faster than my 2nd R1, bad news for you because I'm not stupid enough to fall for that. Rollcatches? They happen sometimes due to lag, but I don't panic roll, and have no need to panic roll, so you're not going to win off that.

What it boils down to is "lol just roll into it lmao" is just "wait for the other guy to fuck up first"
Yeah, it works against shit players, but it doesn't actually help you win against non-shit players. Instead it just turns the fight into a waiting game of "who will fuck up first?" which is already basically what fights are. My weapon isn't going to magically force me to make more mistakes than you.

The Astora Straight Sword and Astora Greatsword are both surprisingly great for spellcasters. Thrall Axe and Raw Mail Breaker are also amazing as more lightweight options.

I've been thinking of checking the effectiveness of the Great Wooden Hammer for viability as a spellcaster's heavy weapon too since it only weighs 6 compared to AGS's 8. But since it's a Greathammer it's honestly not the most viable thing in PvP. Yet it stings like a motherfuck when you 60 Faith Lightning Blade it and use Spin Bash.

Because in my pursuit to stop losing with ultra weapons, I've thought long and hard about how to deal with rolling. The answer is basically treating an ultra with stupidly long reach the same way that you'd treat a glaive, and people will have just as much trouble dealing with you as they'd have dealing with a glaive.

I still haven't figured out how to make the less-safe ultras usable, but that'll be next step.

>>147478507
Uhh
I suppose anything that isn't the Great Machete, Yhorms and the Dragonslayer greataxe. All 3 of those are long enough to be relatively safe to play the poking and spacing game.

The problem with shorter greataxes is that they get outranged, so it's suddenly not safe to swing anymore. More than that, because your opponent can get so close to you before they;re in shockwave range, it's very easy for things like katana running attacks or carthus R1s to simply step in and punish a whiff. They can;t do that vs the longest axes because they have to stand too far away from you to avoid the shockwave stagger, and don't have enough time afterwards to step into range and attack

And I think the entire greathammer and UGS weaponclass share that problem. It's not safe for them to tap R1 at range because almost anything can just whiffpunish you all day, and you obviously can't do much to someone up in your face because you're too slow and easy to get around. They lose that keepout potential due to their shorter range and movesets that are both slower and less suited to take advantage of their reach safely.

I mean, how the hell would you deal with katana running attacks with a Cathedral UGS? I really just can't think of a single option you have.
>>
>>147472469
yeah because kirkhammer was so good with that 50% damage shockwave, requirement to unlock and manually aim every swing lightly to the right of every enemy to do full damage at a certain spacing, and less damage than ludwigs

i can't fucking believe they never patched that 50% shockwave and instead just gave it four minor stamina usage reductions

Why do people talk about "git gud" for dark souls when it's really not that hard once you get the fundamentals down, rolling in particular?

So many other games actually have depth and are actually difficult and don't have builds/weapons you can just crutch on for easy wins all day with PvP. So many other games aren't just "lol roll around some attacks, hit once or twice, roll some more, hit once or twice more depending on your weapon, repeat until you win".

Why bother? Why is the DaS series so highly lauded, or is it just a meme? Like, is "git gud" ironic?

>>147478984
>Why do people talk about "git gud" for dark souls when it's really not that hard once you get the fundamentals down, rolling in particular?
It's exactly because the games are not hard that git gud became a meme. Because people go into dark souls expecting cowadooty and then whine incessantly on the internet about trial and error artificial difficulty and how X and Y is poor design because they died to it.

Dark Souls receives no end of criticism, both of the jorunalistic and consumer variety, simply because the majority of modern gamers would rather insist that a game should be easier than improve to the point where they can succeed at its current difficulty. Because of that, they need to be constantly reminded that there's no trick or gimmick that they;re missing, no essential weapon they forgot to pick up, no esoteric secret they didn't complete to make things doable, and no critical development error that makes it unfair. They just need to grow up and get better. That's it. If you have a problem with the game's difficulty, git gud or git gone.

It wouldn't be necessary to spout this so often if people didn't need to be constantly reminded that all they need to do to win is roll better, manage their stamina more carefully, pick their attack openings more competently and heal when it's safe to.

Purely dealing with single player and not counting muh challenge runs, it mostly deals with learning to roll, maybe to parry, but pretty much just roll timing, and leveling up a lot. It's not really as complicated as people like to think it is.

I mean granted, most people are retarded and most people who play DaS are just the one-and-done type who are trying to play completely blind and not research anything and so they end up flailing around like idiots, but still.

I'd say Gungeon is a harder single player experience in all honesty, for example. Bullet hell is harder than rolling around Nameless King 3 times and then stabbing him once or twice and then getting ready to roll again and repeating.

if the host hasn't hit the boss or made an attempt to before the 70% mark, just leave. He dosn't deserve to pass that point.

This entitlement generation is retarded and the world is probably doomed. I'm just glad I got in that golden era where I got to grow up with real life friends and dial up internet and still get to experience modern technology and will probably be old and die before the shit truly hits the fan.

Giant arena full of 50 tall pillars.
The pillars are placed randomly, including height, each time you enter the boss arena.
On every pillar is a Silver Knight armed with a dragonslayer greatbow with explosive greatarrows. They all are constantly aggro'd on you.
They are immune to poison and there is no cover besides the pillars.
There is a vendor that sells ammo outside. Melee is impossible.
You must kill every Silver Knight.
Summoning for this boss fight will cause it to draw invaders equal to the amount of phantoms.
Seed of a Tree of Giants does not work.
A Bell Keeper with a bow riding a teleporting Irithyll dog will spawn every minute from somewhere and make its way towards you. They are always aggro'd regardless of distance.

I got summoned to gank one invader with a host and his yellow.

He didn't even bother trying the area on his own because the two Aldrich Faithfuls with the dark damage were still alive. The invader managed to survive on his own for the minute it took to lure the NPC's over there. I clapped on the steps to the little arena and watched them get taken out before pointing down at their death

I stopped at 80 for a bit of pvp on my newest character as I was finishing up NG and one of the first FCs I got summoned to had a guy with "minor" a speedhack and 99 of every stat on a winstreak. He was doing like 600 damage a hit with a chaos washingpole.

Who is so unironically shit that they have to hack their stats and still hide from the meta level in order to win fights? It boggles my mind.

The paid online is what really crisped by biscuits.
It's a ripoff, it's not good value for your money, especially when I'm paying for what's free on PC. What's worse is that I either have to submit to constantly having a charge added to my credit card while I'm not using the console at all, or else cancel the subscription and lose the option to pop on and play on a lark.

I go and co-op vordt on my settlement twink and occasionally get pulled in for dancer. When properly prepared, it's not a big deal. Sometimes the host will be stupid and walk into an attack, but when they realize I can solo it for them, they usually smarten up and back off.

Carthus Rouge makes her a chump, and the dark hand buffs make it even easier than before.

IIRC, the Archdragon Peak glitch happens if you ring the bell in your previous cycle but don't kill Nameless King.
The skybox actually deloads when the storm rolls in, and the cloud particle effect simply hides the absent skybox. When you cross over NG cycles, the cloud particles go away, but the skybox doesn't come back because it's only triggered by NK's death.

Those are my feelings exactly. A good example is Eleum Loyce. the only visually impressive thing in the level is the outside of the Cathedral, the entire level looks plain, generic and empty except for some critical setpieces (like the balistae) and the monsters. It really took off from it when I noticed.
Compare it to places like Boletaria and High Wall, which is populated by pieces that tell you about the place, the area is damaged and dilapidated enough to tell there was conflict in the past.
Even seemingly pristine places like Boreal Valley are populated by patrolling enemies that makes the place feel alive.
I remember seeing shit in FotFG like a wagon in an room whose door is narrower than it, and no ramp to possibly carry it upstairs with and I just said "How?"
How did all those soldiers and balistae got into a room whose only entrance is a crack in the wall. WHY?
