At first I thought this was just netcode, but I've since realized that people leave a hittable shadow wherever the started a roll that lasts longer than their iframes. You can actually aim to hit where someone WAS about a second ago to catch it.

>>
>>147954135
Shorter rolls are better rolls.

I'm so used to the extra distance you get on a fastroll that going back to midrolling throws me off significantly. It's not a good thing; I'd prefer to be proficient with both.

>>147954102
No, you could backstab people out of rolls because backstabs actually had a lot of forward range and a big, fat hitbox, which is why stickystabs worked.

In 3 there's literally a second, hittable hitbox of another player that's hovering invisibly behind them and that you can consistently hit.
>>
>>147954203
No.
The DaS2 throne had a human-sized seat carved into it. The closest one in design is Lothric's throne, but it lacks a few key features.

Presumably, each Lord gets their own throne

No.
Just don't lock the Archives at all. Have Gotthard's appear there with his weapon after the eclipse, but just let people open Archives by reaching it.

Dragonslayer Armour already serves as the perfect twinkwall. He's immune to status effects, can't be parried, is basically uncheesable and a challenging but fair straightforward combat boss. If you kill him on a twink, you deserve access to the Archive's goodies.

2h ultra weapons attack R1+R2 can't be parried
whips can't be parried
all rolling and running attacks can be parried (except astora GS roll/whips)
jumping attacks cant be parried

most weapon arts can be parried, I think the spinny ones on curved swords are unparriable (??)

if you wanna be unparriable use an ultra weapon, right now astora gs is very good since the rolling attack is bugged and cant be parried

He's one of the Black Hands, elite hunter/assassins that serve the royal family directly. Gotthard was dispatched to help you complete your lordseeking duty and returns afterwards to find that the High Priestess and Prince have turned against one another. Presumably, he's killed attempting to reach the Prince, though by which side is not clear.
>>
>>147955781
We will get PS3 emulator at some point and setup a netplay.
>>
>>147955791
I think he's one of the Black Hands that deserted, Kamui is the one who stayed behind.
He probably passed away before he could finish his unfinished business at Lothric Castle, since he died before the Archives is possible that he tried to fight his former comrades (the gank squad). Daughter of Kriemlind and the Lion Knight are both loyal to the royalty, which is why Albert's sign disappears when you kill the High Priestess, and the Daughter invades you in the Untended Graves, you're trespassing a forbidden area and killed the king.
>>
>>147956130
>Gotthard was dispatched to help you complete your lordseeking duty
so the Princes dispatched Gotthard to help the AO find his way to them and murder them? Unlikely

Where would the third one be? DLC?
>>
>>147954481
>the DaS2 had a human sized seat carved into it
Probably made so for Vendrick.
Considering the Giants literally invaded to get it back, I think that they might've refitted it.

I think that the Thrones are how the followers of the Way of White and Jew Serpents are getting goyim to continuously link the fire in lands that don't have access to the Kiln of the First Flame. Meanwhile the Abyss people are having none of that and are sending pussy to Kayingz who are in possession of said thrones to prevent people from linking the fire(as we see with Nashandra). The Abyss Serpent Kaathe in DS3 is for some reason sending his goons out to kill the Abyss Watchers (which makes me really think he's going to be in the DLC).

But then again, wouldn't killing the Abyss Watchers help them return them to their thrones faster?

What was the lone Darkwraith even doing in Lothric High Wall? Was he there to assassinate Prince Lothric?
>>
>>147956501
You can't add stone to a sculpture, you dork.
Once something has been carved in, it can't be reversed, you can't add back to stone that's been hewn off.
>>
>>147956583
yeah you just cut more out, make the seat big and wide again
>>
>>147956406
He was likely dispatched by Emma, and killed for siding with her.
>>
>>147956331
It's possible, maybe even alongside the other two Sable Maidens, companions of Yuria.
>>
>>147956701
I thought the Black Hands served the ruling family, not the high priestess
>>
Starting a Deprived in DaS2, other than the Great Soul Arrow in FoFG, are there any easy spells you can grab before bosses?
>>
>>147956501
Dickwraiths don't need to be loyal to Kaathe forever. I assume the high wall one simply invaded around but was caught.

Also, the Watchers cinders need to be taken to firelink, they could kill them and take the cinders away.
>>
>>147956406
He has his summon sign down near the Abyss Watchers.

Also, DS3 has the most badass Crestbro since you can summon him and he kicks ass.

>inb4 scrub

>using spears
literally why?
what do spears do that halberds or something else don't do better?
>>
>>147956803
Hence his untimely demise.
Gotthard is described as being a former knight, who was promoted to the rank of Black Hand for his swordmanship. The Knights serve the High Priestess, and the High Priestess also served as the Prince's Wet Nurse and, likely, regent while the King was indisposed, Queen MIA and Prince too busy being crippled and gay to succeed. In other words, Gotthard was Black Hand in name only and in reality was not loyal to the royal family - no surprise considering the King's state of mind. Kamui stands guard top the archives, but Gotthard was murdered at their entrance, likely while attempting to complete his lordseeking duty.

Using toggle escape to quickly get up from a knockdown.

IIRC you need to be holding left on the analog stick when you get hit in order for it to work.

>>147956449
I don't know for certain, but my guess is that it's just a case of a certain memory address in the UI being used for more than one purpose, similar to Pokemon's Missing No. Or some variable relating to how the UI works not being reset properly due to Boldwin's shop being close in an unexpected way. There are some other minor glitches with the UI that aren't as noticeable/exploitable, but are kind of similar. I can't remember them off-hand, though, been fuckin' ages.

Nailing a Host with Phantoms right before they go through the fog gate is one of the most satisfying things in the series. My best kill was in New Londo Ruins when a host with 2 phantoms was almost at the boss when I caught up to them, backstabbed the host and pushed him off a ledge,followed and finished him off while his phantom just watched.

I'm leaving dex/str/vit at base, except one point in dex for longsword. I'm guessing 15 since it's not too low or too high. I'm trying to not use shields either. So basically rolling for avoiding damage, spells only, longsword if I run out of estus/taking down low HP enemies.

Iggy was an interesting Lord. He wasn't the smartest, the bravest, the most honorable, or even a very good person to begin with. Honestly, he was kind of an asshole really. He was however an heir to a powerful kingdom, but he had no interest, in ruling because he was actually kind of lazy, and since he had no heirs he was forced into the throne. His entire reason for Linking the First Flame was just so he wouldn't have to be king. It also doesn't help that he was arranged to marry a princess from another kingdom. The princess in question was somehow even an even bigger asshole than Iggy.

Iggy's last words before Linking were the following: "I'd rather burn myself alive than marry that lady!"

There have been many causes for why one would venture to the Kiln of the First Flame, but Iggy was the one one who did it for the sake of spite.

Perseverance only really works well against idiots mashing R1 (easy to beat without it) 1H estocs/daggers/spears (they deserve to get fucked if they don't swap to 2H to counter you) and ultra weapons.
The actually popular and effective meta weapons crush cestus and don't give a fuck about perseverance. The only thing really notable about the cestus is the fact that claws and ultras literally cannot do anything against them.

Come up with ideas for bosses/mechanics for the DLC.

Mine:
Boss starts on a mount and the second phase is about fighting them on foot. The guy's riding a big beast instead of a regular horse(it's funny, there's only 1 horse in Dark Souls series and it's in Dark Souls 2).

The return of Looking Glass Knight summon except the boss prioritizes players and his windup to summon the player can be intercepted so it won't be too bullshit and boss summons can't heal.

Pilgrims of the Dark return as a PVE/PVP Covenant that rank up by hunting Legionnaires. The Pilgrims act as gatekeepers in the new Abyss dungeon invading people who enter. The DLC also unlocks Bloodborne-style random genned dungeons.

Areas with empty knight armors that start coming alive if a player dies in their proximity. This goes for all kinds of players so it includes invaders and people online who are connected to you dying and creating a bloodstain in the area.

The trick is that you won't know when they're going to come alive. Basically the gist would be that the area would otherwise not be too hard, but people invading and getting killed there would lead to other people getting killed, and prompting the enemies to come alive for other people. You could also passively grief people by suiciding in that area

>What should I expect?
Overpowered as fuck magic.
Do yourself a favor and don't use magic.
Otherwise the game has the greatest atmosphere after DS3.
Oh yeah, and the game has item burden so store all of the shit that you don't immediately need at Stockpile Thomas, otherwise you'll get overburdened with shit. Fortunately you can use equipment upgrade materials at the Blacksmith even if you keep them at Stockpile Thomas.
>>
Why are DS1 and DS3 rated M? They seem more like T games to me. You mostly just fight inhuman monsters and "zombies", and when you do fight humans, they're phantoms.

More importantly, what makes DS2 T instead?

>>147961902
Dark is better for pvp
Player characters get free fire defense for leveling strength, so every quality build has fire as their highest resistance.
Fire ABS is also the most common and the easiest to access without a major investment in vit. Ostensibly, it's the worst pvp damage type

Flat defense against dark only goes up from leveling faith, and nobody wastes points in faith so it's a pretty safe bet. High dark ABS is also fairly uncommon and it's a common weakness to otherwise stat-efficient armors.

DS2 has toned down blood effects and cartoonish graphics compared to even DS1. Every enemy you hit either emits a puff of smoke or just a generic slash effect.
DS3 in particular is more bloody and has more horror elements, but not to the height of Bloodborne.
The deliberate T rating in DS2 just makes it look like more of a cashgrab than what it already is.

By definition, appealing to nostalgia fags makes DS3 the bigger cashgrab. DS2 tried to do its own thing (and failed at it) instead of relying on the safe "dude anor londo remember that? xD" approach.

I like all the games but this is a legit criticism. Regular invasions were straight up killed in favor of the arena and a bad Forest Hunters replacement.

Frostbite is a very, very small % of max HP, something like 5%

I found the original lore in the game to shine harder than the throwbacks, it wasn't detrimental to me. People like Anri and Siegmeyer come from a long ago era, Astora is explicitly stated to be done. Other than that is just Patches being Patches, and Andre which is not real.

Doom has fast movement and precise controls. DS2 is the most sluggish game in series which creates a lot of issues when the entire enemy design philosophy is "lmao we know that our enemies are trash individually so drown them in bodies"

Are you saying that DS1 enemies were hard? I can parry Black and Silver knights in my sleep and just recently started a run where I'm flipping fucking everywhere and oneshotting shit maybe 15 minutes from the game start. I can't do that in DAS2 because the parrying works very differently and is very unreliable.

Not that DaS2 is "hard" either, but the earlygame has excellent cheeser warning.

Facefuck goats. Pursuers goats. Winged knights. Crabs. Cross bearers in the swamp. Skellies with double shotels and curved greatswords, especially resurrecting ones. Scythe pontiff knights.

Look at how the titanite demon is obscured by darkness, how you can see the silhouette move. DS1 was filled with moments like these.

I actually really like what they did with Anor Londo, but I do think 3 tends to go a bit overboard with that stuff. I'd much prefer original stuff than literal copy-paste characters. Seigmeyer and Yuria are characters I really liked from their respective games, but I can't stand their counterparts in DS3 because there is nothing original to them; Seigward's characterization is the exact same as Seigmeyer's, and everything about Karla, down to her armor description, is more or less a word-by-word recall of Yuria.

What I'm saying is that while I don't mind call backs, I would rather them try something new then constantly going back to DS1.

They only resurrect once so you can just smash them as they get up and forget about them. You really must have been turtling with a medium shield; even DaS1, the easiest game in the series, is "challenging" if you just play it wrong.

They're bullshit (mostly due to being on invisible spinning platforms), but less bullshit than spamming lunging grabs or curse-on-hit build up. They have explicit weaknesses such as poison or shooting them in their soft throat, unlike DaS3 enemies that are only weak to R1 spam and hoping you connect first.

They will bash you with a sword hilt then combo you into oblivion for holding right.
>>
>>147970274
Challenging is a positive quality. Broken beyond believe is not challenging. It's tedium, since I have to cheese them with arrows or magic.
>>
>>147970558
They'll get backstabbed, that's what will happen. I'm tired of killing that one shitty knight in front of the sunlight altar with a +2 longsword. They're not threatening at all unless you have the reaction time of a senile old man.
>>
>>147970539
And pursuer is nowhere near their level. He's just a generic DS2 humanoid with a combo, poke and projectile that can be fucking parried on top of it.
>>
>>147970235
The problem isn't the actions of the host, but rather the system that's so imbalanced in their favour that I, as their opponent, have no viable options to respond to it.

Why would I willingly put myself into that situation when poor balance and poor design fail to provide me with a realistic chance of winning or the opportunity to enjoy the experience?

When the game's single player experienced is designed, mechanically, around the presence of invaders being a factor, but the actual balance and implementation fail to provide any incentives or meaningful experience associated with invading, then the system breaks down and you get what we have right now: a game utterly trivialized by summoning, but where summoning is so incredibly accessible that the game is functionally trivialized at all times with no consequence or downside.
>>
>>147970539
Pursuer is not hard, it has a huge blindstop in the shield side. It's only good attack is the desperation attack.
>>
>>147970001
>can roll out of any gesture instantly

Not honourable, just pointless because they'll dodge. It's so stupid I sometimes summon a great weapon user from Pontiff shitters then roll between their attacks applauding midway until they give up.
>>
>>147970685
needs a covenant of champions mode where you deal 50% more damage and can't summon any friendly phantoms, but have a permanent dried finger effect active and can be invaded while un-embered

or instead of 50% damage bonus, poise actually works like DS1
>>
>>147970685
I agree that the system is screwed, but you're kind of moving the goalposts here. You(assuming you're the one who made the original argument) stated you found it boring that solo hosts would move into big, open areas they'd already cleared if you invaded them, and even argued that them summoning phantoms would make for a more interesting encounter.
>>
>>147970594
That's subjective. I consider DS3 enemies more enjoyable, but DS2 enemies are still challenging if they're beatable and or kill players. The Giant Pillbugs in Demon's Souls for example aren't challenging because they barely have any attacks. The Ogres can be considered somewhat challenging since they actively fight back.

The Big guys shooting Dark Magic in Harvest Valley for example aren't challenging because they never hit the player.
>>
>>147970685
You're kinda right desu
>>
>>147970984
Poise would only fuck you up to be honest senpai. It would let you be hit more than twice regularly, which if you've seen how every weapon with a combo involving the WA has been nerfed, you'd know that this game is designed around the idea you'll only be hit twice per combo.
>>
Reminder that DaS3 removed non-breath attacks from Basilisks because they were too challenging.

Can anyone recommend fun PvP builds?

I burned myself out on PvP in the first couple weeks, nothing just seems fun

I want to mix it up with some kind of spell, miracle, pyro etc. but most buffs and spells in this game are shit. Most of my builds before only relied on something like TOD or DP, then I'd just get 40STR/DEX and find a good scaling weapon

I want some decent weapons that are fun to use but nothing retarded like CCS where I can just click my R1 button, any suggestions?
>>
>>147970685

I was more complaining about the fact the community has degenerated to the point the direction they want to didctate it is towards duels. You can see they aren't after winning because I see no summons, but they're trying to turn an unexpected experience into a "honourable duel" which just shows how awful people are. If I invaded an anti-twink in 1 and tried to run away they'd actually chase me andpelt me with ranged attacks.
>>
>>147971270
Are you kidding? They are a legit threat now because they can't stop farting everywhere. The pancake attack seemed tack on and not even animated.
>>
>>147970984
>Accidentally created a tank build when I was playing the game blind for the first while
If poise worked I would never lose. It seems like I usually win now, because even when they can stop my attacks by hitting me they don't do much damage

Pyromancy is fun, I find, in PvP. It's my favorite so far because it combines skillshots, zoning, and head tricks while still needing to be proficient in melee.

Dark magic is actually pretty fun with all the different kind of spells you can combine.

>>147971492

The purpose for the invader is to cause trouble for the Host.

That's why I'd use equipment destroying gear if it wasn't so underpowered.
>>
>>147971432
I'm sorry, but I'm still not getting why you you find it upsetting. You invade someone, they break off from whatever they're doing and go back to a nice open area and wait there for you to show up, and if you don't show up within a reasonable amount of time they'll go looking for you. I did that back in Demon's Souls, it's not a new occurrence by any means.

Grave Wardens stagger. They have fairly low poise, it just takes more than 1 hit of a straightsword

Undead Workers poisebreak in 1 hit of most large weapons, and 2 hits of most small ones.

Evangelists have high poise but still stagger in a few hits of anything

Gargoyles stagger fairly easily. 2 hits of any ultra staggers them and they stagger more easily if you strike their head (which also takes more damage)
Handbabies stagger instantly if you hit their facemouth

and so on and so forth.

All of the enemies you've listed stagger either contextually, or after taking sufficient poise damage.

Yes, but where's the thrill of that? When I get invaded I try to pay a trap with branches, kill enemies despite the invader or fuck around. Sure, I get my fair share of ganks or people who want to play with punches and other cool stuff which is why I invade with warmth, but the vast majority seem to try and get a simple forgetable and straight fight which is really wasting the possibilities of such opportunities.

I simply do not get why people go for the most boring approach even if I do try to communicate with them.

Should scale off hollowing and a human effigy-type catalyst, desu.

Consider the dark soul. Dark = lack of light = lack of heat. Heat is fire and light. Dark is the absence of fire and light. Absence of heat leads to cold.

Therefore cryomancy should be linked to the hollowing stat, and only be 50% effective when embered.

It doesn't have to do anything with the span between 95 to 100. Its just that you WILL be matched with 120s if you are SL 100.

To avoid SL120 gank-squads and meta-hackers you gotta stay outside of their range which is SL 97 I believe. I just rounded it down to 95.

Also, go for 30/30 INT/FTH for a SL80 pyro if you plan pyromancy being your main source of damage. Stay at low wep req. (For example estoc/Longsword) with 24 ATN and pump the rest in VIG.

You wont need VIT at all. Also wear light stuff to fast roll.

If you plan on going to 95/97 you may increase whatever you see fit, Pyromancy damage, defense or what I did -> more Dex to be able to wield carthus curved sword.

Abyss Watchers' healthbar going back to full was one of the bigger "oh shit!"-moments for me, but the fight was amazing. I think the original Arty fight surpasses it but the Abyss Watchers were still amazing. I was literally trembling after I beat the Abyss Watchers and was so pumped up. It felt really good.

I was extremely disappointed with how easy they were
I stunlocked the 2nd phase for half his health and then accidentally backstabbed him after dodging one of his flashy, harmless spins that leave him open for a decade. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that it triggered the BS and spent the rest of the fight chain-BSing him to death.

I'd call them the biggest disappointment in 3 except Aldrich and Yhorm exist. It's kinda lousy that you have to finish 90% of DaS3 before you start finding the good bosses.

Because they literally took the Old Knights from the start of the game and slapped a 1.5x acceleration modifier to their animations. It bugs out the Drakekeepers sometimes and causes their model to implode and their foot to fly through their head.

Absolutely. It's not as good as the Estoc, but it looks fancier and more befitting a mage anyway.

If you just jump down Frampt's hole you can place it yourself. You fall into the area where the kiln goes and can warp back out since it counts as a bonfire.

Boss doesn't actually want to fight you- because he knows he will lose if he does, since you can just try over and over again, and loudly shouts that at you as he goes into his one and only stage:

Boss fight consists of him fucking legging though the environment you just fought through to get to the boss gate it and you trying to catch up to him. If you don't catch him, he successfully legs it and either vanishes or becomes an NPC much later in the game.

Friend of mine had an interesting idea for a somewhat gimmicky boss fight.

The fight is against a Deep thing which drips water constantly. The only sources of light in the boss room are numerous but breakable. The boss itself is visible in the dark but just as a silhouette, and leaves a trail of dampness as it moves around. As the fight progresses more light sources inevitably get knocked out, putting pressure on the player to lead it into the light and fight efficiently.

Halfway through the fight the boss BB-mode transforms and sucks all the breakable light sources into itself. It then begins to glow from within, becoming the only source of light in the arena for the rest of the fight.

There's some low level clothing I'd be willing to trade humanity + souls for. Just some shitty early game items, but they're for the fashion and they take forever to farm.

>Hollow Soldier Waistcloth

If you're willing these would be accepted as well, but no really just need the first two.

The new phantom ai in SotFS is nice but I wish From updated the existing phantoms as well. I want Bowman Guthry to powerstance her Aveyns and perform the Decapitate gesture whenever the player dies.

That sounds pretty fugging cool. Maybe you could also light with the torch some of the light sources that the boss puts out.

We discussed it while shooting the shit and I pointed out that if there were a few light sources posted around that couldn't be doused during phase one it would be more effective, as you'd have to lead the boss into the light as you both started smashing candles out. Spookier, too.

Not being able to clearly see boss attacks is definitely artificial difficulty, so I figure that its attacks would still be telegraphed by some kind of visual shimmer - like light glinting off of waves.

this area is just as fucking accessible as pontiff, about the same size, and looks nice. you also spawn in directly in the fucking arena every time

it's objectively better than pontiff even

Damn, that fight looks cool as fuck. Haven't bothered trying to kill him like that yet. I've seen all his attacks spending 10 minutes dodging them on my blind run, but not that riposte animation.

Why the fuck would they add the Storm Ruler then? Did they really ruin a perfectly decent boss fight in exchange for a garbage sword and a tired Demon Souls reference?

Fuck, imagine if he had an attack where you could run up the cleaver and whack him in the head.

The second Storm Ruler that the player could use was likely a last minute addition after internal play testing. The fight looks as if it was designed around hitting his head/hands to force a stagger rather than using le epin des reference weapon.

>>147981085
Nah senpai, boulder heave is the pyro of a DEAD flame, not a chilled flame. There's a difference

I just invaded the most Generous person in Dark Souls 3.

He had a room with:
68 Souls of a Champion
65 Seeds of a Giant Tree
and about 350 embers

all for the taking

Funny, in discussions leading up to Dark Souls 2 and 3 I remember a lot of people going like
OH MAN WOULDN'T IT BE AWESOME IF WE HAD ANOTHER STORM KING OMGZ STORMRULER GARL VINLAND AND DRAGON BONE SMASHER :DD.

Of course From is going to pander to nostalgia if people say so much they miss X thing and flirting with the idea like they did in Dark Souls 2 isn't successful.

I mean, not that Dark Souls hasn't been full of references since it's inception.

If you had to dedicate to just one Souls game, which'd it be and why?

I'd choose Demon's. Less problems spreading stats and overall straight fun. Besides, that atmosphere.
