It's been a long time since I actually read that.

>>148823503
Upgrading vigor to 27 is a good idea since it still has good increases. And I don't know what kind of armor your wearing but increasing vitality can help you equip heavier armor and boosts your defense stat. Endurance might be worth increasing for a few extra srikes, or some spare endurance so you can still block with a shield after a few hits.

Does anyone have the completed version of the Dark SOuls bingo?

>>148823871
No, framerate gets really wonky at archdragon peak

>>148824320
Sounds alright then.
I was kind of wary about upgrading vitality. I don't visit here often enough to know the ins and outs of the right numbers for the right armor. I just wear the herald set at 69.9% right now.

>>148823871
There's been a FC in that little arena just outside of the Nameless King bonfire, and it eventually migrated out to the courtyard with the snakemen in it.
Was pretty fun. Something as simple as the rubble in the centre of the courtyard makes for a neat change in dynamic.

should i test this out on memeless king

>>148824663
I think it depends on if the bell has been rung or not, but also I feel like the only good place for FC's at archdragon would be by havel- Sure the rubble is a good switchup, but I feel like it'd be a tad too cramped. Alternatively, the floating fog right before the boss fog might be big enough, however if the host falls in there, he'll have to die and restart the FC

>>148824845
Looks like it'll be fun- as long as you don't mind dying in one hit. Also memeless kang has a lot of lightning resist i'm pretty sure, so you might want to switch the ring/buff after king of storms is kill. What are your stats? like 66 STR and 60 FTH?

>>148825150
I killed the dragon in a full bar of stamina on NG+4

I'm too much of a scrub for DMB, but I would use it if I had it.

>>148824903
The place right after the bonfire was cramped, but the courtyard wasn't. Host just needs to clear it of serpents, otherwise they might come down and start attacking him.
It was done in non-windy version, so that probably explains the lack of issue. Windy FC would be obnoxious as fuck.

It might be worth it to use the dark magic buff you get from karla, even though it'll have less AR. idk how much lightning resist NK actually has so it could deal more damage, but it could also be insignificantly more

What's the point of backstepping in Souls games other than DS2?

As a defensive option it seems to have no practical purpose; the only exception to that is the DS2 backstep, which has iframes and is essentially a roll that doesn't turn you around and gives you a setup to do something else in; attack, parry, etc. However, the backsteps of every other Souls game have no invincibility, so you have to avoid an attack with your entire body, which is more difficult. You might say "Well, you backstep out of the way of an attack and then running attack back in" but this purpose is always better served with a forward roll + rolling attack, since that gives you iframes to avoid damage while still positioning you for a counterattack, with the added possibility of a backstab if the opponent is human and close enough. Also, running attacks for the most part are not so great that they warrant this level of risk.

Players have found a few uses for it, the most popular of which is the reverse backstep, but this is a perversion of the actual move because in order to make it usable the player has to unlock, turn around and use it backwards to approach the target rather than backing away, and then turn around again instantly to use the running attack in a way that's useful rather than attacking away from the target; clearly not what it was made to do, or it would be a forward step instead. There's also the sorcerer technique of using backsteps to approach your target while keeping your HCSM/Pursuers/whatever over your head until the moment of your choosing, but this is just a use for one single kind of spell; not really worthy of a universal button, and almost certainly not what was in mind at the concept phase.

So the question remains, what was the design intent of the backstep? What is it supposed to be for and why does it keep getting put in Souls games?

>>148825631
It consumes half the stamina of a roll.

I use it all the time to back away instead of rolling, and often to backstep R1.

Thanks Earl, for helping at DSA.

>>148825631
It's an ok mixup when you do backstep R1, people don't expect you to actually use it the way it is supposed to be. I think the main problem with it is the fact that lag and lack of iframes causes you to be hit if you use it to "dodge" an attack. Also rolling away will put you much farther from your target if you want to actually follow up on a whiff (but again, the fact that netcode works the way it does is a pain in the arse)

Fuck! What do? Aren't there any games that are like Souls games? As in 3rd person dungeon crawlers? I tried Dragons Dogma but BBI is dogshit and i played the main game already

>>148825631

It can be used as a mix-up versus short and fast weapons. Where rolling would put you out of range for a counterattack, the backstep leaves you in range. It's only effective when used very sparingly.

It deserves at least a brief few iframes right after you initiate a hop.

What's the longest you've gone with only one invader while fingered and somewhere other than the Pontiff's backyard?

This seems like the logical answer for what it's meant to be used for, but that use is so niche and limited that it's hard to believe it would just be left as is for so long.

>>148826491
Well that the thing, it wasn't, DkSII fixed it. But DkSII is bad you guys, so they reverted the change in III, and it's useless again.

Imagine what the game would look like in PvP if the entire backstab animation had iFrames

>>148826692

Speaking of waiting times, how long do you normally wait before the BoB/Sentinel's arena matchmaking gives up and shoves you to anything? Assuming you have standardly-decent internet connection.

>>148826692
Probably a conga line of-

>>148826769
It'd be a medieval version of bloodborne pvp except everyone is facing backwards. Would be funnier if the Ironclad's backwards drop is available to players.

>>148826491

Pretty niche, but it's there. Like so many things in this series.

>>148826845
>Would be funnier if the Ironclad's backwards drop is available to players.

I remember people theorizing that the armor would replace your backstep or roll with that backdrop animation so you could dunk anyone that tried to backstab you.

Instead we got Heavy Jester's.

>>148826995
It's a shame too, when you're wearing something heavy like that, it's not like you're going to need that backstep anyway.

>>148826845

At SL130, usually once an hour or so of play for me. Sometimes I'm summoned in sequence quite quickly, sometimes I have nothing for my whole play session. Lately it's been to the point where I'm off doing something else and concording interrupts me.

Hey /dsg/, I gotta know, for Siegmeyer's questline is Ds1, do I actually meet him again inside Sen's Fortress? I got to the Titanite Demon rape halls and was wondering if I may have already passed him up.

>>148827123
I see. Meanwhile I overleveled before learning that arena uses SL for matchmaking instead of SM. Good thing there are other means of ranking up in the Sentinels. If only the Brotherhood can rank up by successful invasions as well.

>>148827359
Yes, somewhere in the area where the round boulder passes by.

>>148827428

Oh shit, you meant DSII? I thought you'd mistyped "BoD" (Blades of the Darkmoon) as "BoB." I was talking about DSIII.

Disregard.

>>148827538
Wait, there are covenant arenas in DS3? Well, ain't this a funny trainwreck.

>>148825958
There's Souls like games such as Lords of the Fallen and Salt and Sanctuary. I don't know a lot of 3rd person Dungeon crawlers. The Elder Scrolls games have a 3rd person mode I think.

>>148827359
yes, but it isn't necessary to do his questline

Anyone want any help with a boss or to just co-op? SL125 regen/tank. PC

What covenants are worth joining for Ds1 since it's pretty dead online? The Spider lady that gave me the Pyromancy is seems doable but I'm not running a pyro build this playthrough.

Anyone on PS4 want to help me through NG+3 Settlement through the Cathedral? I want to repsec into a faith build, and I plan on going 145(only doing co-op).

>>148827948

Chaos covenant and Sunbros would be about it, but the latter only if you like chucking lightning. Otherwise the spider lady is good just for the Izalith shortcut (nobody likes dragon butts).

I mean, with online considered Darkwraiths are the only covenant to be in, but offline there's not a lot of strong reason to be in any of them.

Hey /dsg/, what's a FUN weapon for a second playthrough?

>>148828292

>>148828214
The lighting is a miracle right? I might go for that. I joined the Spider Lady because I thought it was kind of fucked up since I just killed what I presume to be her sister.

>>148828186

>>148828451

Yeah it's a miracle.

The Fair Lady is nice, though. You can get a ring which lets you understand her language.

>>148828490

I've had so many occassions where I get the predictable host/summon that just loves getting parried.

After the 3rd or 4th time they usually just bloodlust themselves or go basejumping off the ledge at pontiff.

It's so satisfying.

Ripostes are for casuals. Get good and stop relying on the biggest crutch in any video game series.

hahaha no.
It's the same rolling L1 as lol2kat and it's definitely not faster than the rolling double poke

Wew, sorry.

Rolling R1 then, whichever one is the stab attack.

Do we know the possible price tag for Dark Souls 3 DLC or an estimate for a release date other than "Autumn"?

>>148833597

Based on the price tag of the season pass it'll be less than 25USD.

You got it in reverse: The issues are relegated to PVP, and thus entirely AT FAULT for the state of dead that it is in.

Also, it has more than enough quibbles in the PvE department too.

What are the top three things, aside from the reintroduction of DaS1 poise, that you'd like to see come into the game with the DLC?

This kind of stuff is well known to be integrated into the Steam platform since its earliest days my man

It is a fact that most of the completely overblown Hunter population in WoW during the early 2000's was due to a hidden feature in Steam that allowed aimbot users in Counterstrike 1.6 to create a free WoW account + hunter char by entering "/charcopy" into the console.

The DLC would add some transitional areas to make the main game a little less painfully linear.
Covenants level infinitely and after they stop giving you concrete Covenant-related shit, they'll give you upgrade stones for every time you hit the next rank.

No, it will always have like 300 AR and shit moveset on top of shit mag adjust for a catalyst that halves the casts.

I'm probably gonna start a few characters in preparation for the DLC(unless I get it on the console).

Was thinking of creating the Knights from Demon's Souls
(Alfred, the Knight of the Tower, Metas, the Knight of the Lance and Vito, the Moonlight Knight.)

Would love to do Biorr but there's no Steel Set...

Only ds2 has such a heavy gameplay design flaws you need to correct them with CE if you want to play comfortably. All DS1 mods are a result of a shit port.

I fucking forgot to save the webm, but a very skilled, inquisitive anon was sifting through the game files and found a whole bunch of neat stuff supposedly encrypted/very well hidden.

There a partially-complete spell animation resembling your typical lightning toss, but significantly quicker than normal.

Also some armor with unusually high bleed, dark, and extremely high magic absorption. without either textures or models, I can't remember.

I'll see if I can't find the webm showing off that weird moveset.

It also looked like it could have been part of the Farron Greatsword's moveset, too.

I can accept the mechanical limitations of their new way of doing things, but this just not caring about making the basic game work properly.
