What was even the point of this? It's just Way of White but with two shitty miracles. And you can get to the Warriors of Sunlight so much earlier, and they're so much better! Come to think of it, most of the DS1 covenants are pretty underwhelming.

why does From hate money? even diehard sony ponies would be able to enjoy their game more on PC

>>149628148
This would be perfect. I honestly have no idea what the fuck From were thinking when they made the DaS3 covenants.

>>pilgrims of the dark in a BB squee dungeon
I honestly thought something like this would be in the game before it came out. Back on some /v/ thread when we were predicting what DaS3 would be like, I said something along the lines of: "chalice dungeons won't be a gimmick they'll want to drop after all they work they put into them for BB, so expect to see them in some sort of PvE or co-op covenant." Disappointed that I was very wrong.

I honestly think there should be more than 1 PvE covenant, too. 'Single player enemy farming' sounds like the easiest thing to do covenant wise, so I don't see why they shouldn't throw a handful at us (in addition to rather than in place of other covenants, that is). Chaos Servants was a real simple covenant, but it offered some nice little incentives for joining/finding it, like some new spells, a shortcut and an armour set and rp potential. Just little covenants like that would be nice.

And I'd say that in a perfect world (or souls game), being a Way of Blue adherent and having phantoms should be mutually exclusive. Like, you can either have two or three nerfed phantoms to help you with the level and your boss and an invader if they pop up, or you can do everything solo but have an unnerfed Sentinel come in just to help you clear out a red. That might be too harsh though, so maybe something like you can't dry finger for more phantoms as a WoB adherent. My point is, you shouldn't be able to have your 3 password buddies and a blue helping you stretch one nerfed red's anus.

>untrue rings for every color
I'd fucking love this, too. Even an Untrue Blue Ring would be excellent for invasions, because if your host does call in a blue, it'd be an actual useful disguise. White Ring is only helpful in an incredibly limited set of situations.

>>149629395
It's pretty clear you never played it. Shit was never that bad, and even as bad as it was, it was fixed with patches not much later.

From doesn't hate money; that's why they agreed to make BB when Sony started throwing money at them.

Am I the only who hates that you can change covenants so easily?

It makes joining them meaningless

>Shit was never that bad
yes it was. At launch it was horrible. But the load times werent the worst part, the worst part was the sub 10fps framerate when entering someone elses game.

>>149629392
You know what would have been fucking great? If Princess Guard were gold like Sunlight Warriors, or their own colour (like a nice beige or pink maybe). I made a cleric character on DaS1 once with the intention of joining Princess Guard so I could help people through a level with heals and buffs and stuff, but when I found out their phantoms were white too, I lost quite a lot of motivation to join because I knew people would probably summon golds in favour of someone who just looked like a generic white.

And you're right about Chaos Servant, too. I think Chaos Servants should have been able to at least buy cracked red eye orbs so you could mimic Kirk and go invade people for their humanity so you could give it to Fair Lady.

>>149628148
>>149629426
Oh, and a covenant which provided some sort of dueling, or a good arena available from early game would be nice too.

>>149629635
Yeah, I think there should have been stricter penalties like in Dark Souls 1 - but at the same time, the covenants themselves should offer good enough rewards and a fun enough time that being penalised for leaving one is worth it.

BB's covenants meant literally nothing and were clearly an afterthought.

IMO, DaS 1 and 2 had the best covenants, while execution varied between the two.

It literally cannot do anything to spears, rapiers, halberds and anything else with a quick poke. The low reach kills it.

Bkgs is the easiest to bait with, vertical r1 roll catches for days, and has a wombo combo for 1600 damage that's piss easy to pull off, and outranges 2h poked from other ultras with simple r1s

You must have never actually used the weapon or you're bad with this particular ugs. Either way having used both extensively I'll go bkgs every time

>Isn't the profaned split damage?

You're probably thinking of Lorian's. Profaned GS is a pure physical quality UGS, though it does have a self-buff with the WA that gives it 50 extra fire damage. At 40/40 the Profaned has 606 AR 1handed. It's slightly more damage than the AGS and only slightly more weight, so it really depends on preference and if you like charge that much.

>>the only reason people join Chaos Servant is to save Solaire
Don't even need to. Can just poison mist the door and catch the bug.

>>149631027
I think I was thinking of the self buff. I really prefer the pokes the AGS has, and my builds are always super tight on weight, so the 5 extra weight or so is a huge deal.

>>149631154

Profaned has 2HR2 pokes and a 2H rolling poke, so it's not much difference save for lack of a 1HR2 poke. I will say there's nothing more satisfying in 3 then getting a Leo Ring charged R2 with the Astora or Profaned and getting over 1000 damage on a counterhit.

I prefer having pokes on both the 1h and 2h. My two main go to weapons both have it LKSw and AGS.

>>149630370
>I mean how you changed them.
I dunno. I mean, I agree somewhat, having to use the rune table was preferable to DaS3's cancer, but at the same time, I much preferred how it was in 1, where sometimes there'd be consequences for leaving a covenant. It gave them more weight. And im sad that Souls games havent gone further down that road and instead casualized covenants.

This is why you always have a Deep Dark Sword on hand just on principle.

>>149631513
I wasn't a big fan of the penalty, or having to run all over creation to change covenants. At the same time, just being able to swap covenants on a whim like in DaS3 is too easy. I think BB got it right, you have to at least go back to the hub to switch it up, but once you have them, you can change it without having to run everywhere.

Man why did From have to erase everything ds2 did. I miss some of the mechanics. Theres so many things they could of done to make this game a 10/10. What would you guys change? Heres what I would do;

>Buff poison
Right now A poison weapon is pretty much useless, maybe not make it ds2 levels of damage but probably something like 2-2.5x what it is now

>Buffable infused/elemental weapons
I think this would help alot with the mediocre damage split weapon usually do and make some lesser used infusions like simple and blessed be used on more than just shields/off hand weapons

>More variety in magic
At least for offensive magic there's not much variety, some of the actual unique spells have pretty shit damage or just have very few times where they would be more useful. Also the staffs are pretty boring it would be neat if instead of their weapon arts being a buff, raise the base damage of each staff a little and instead make the WA a unique spell like the pyro flame has. The sorcerer staff could be something simple like a soul dart or the crystal sage staff could have a homing crystal like the crystal sages use.

>Poise
I think it would work well if they brought back ds1 poise but ONLY for the really heavy armor, and also have it not work against the great/ultra weapons. This would make heavy armor/vitality a bit more appealing. make it so the wolf ring compliments heavy armor but doesnt do much if anything on its own.

>>149631841
I just missed covenant leaders i guess. It was nice to have at least 1 other person in the game to act as the mentor in your covenant

>>149633359
The long UGS (eg. Greatsword, FUGS) haver a significantly better time dealing with other long-reach weapons because they can actually outspace them with their range.

If your ultra is out-ranged, you literally cannot do anything, but if you outrange them, you have options.

The only good covenant in DS1 is the Darkwraiths, because it gives you access to the Red Eye Orb. You can still use a white sign to co-op, and you can invade the forest as a red, so the only multiplayer functionality you don't have access to is Gravelording, which sucks anyway.

Well, mostly sucks. Gravelording is bad for what it's supposed to do, but I actually liked using it for turbo-hosting in Townshit and Burg and such at 120.

The magic may have variety, but it doesn't mean anything when people just use the same shit anyway.

Poise should work like it did in DaS1 period, just make BSes work similarly to BB's and lower the stability on great shields a bit.

I'm actually serious, it's the same as the rolling L1 from the Twinspears/Gottards, and you can bait people in for days with R1 R1 L1 because of how R1's can queue up L1's, and nobody ever sees the Third attack coming.

Okay, so you'll notice egg is much faster than flour, so you'll want to run in circles around the room until you start whipping the egg whites but the flour hasn't caught up, that's when you hit the egg but only ever so slightly.

Man Aldrich is such a dick why did he eat the waifus, like what was the fucking deal with that guy

List the biggest problems DaS3 has iyo
>Every new enemy's moveset is just variations of it madly flailing their arms around, either while standing, sprinting toward you, jumping toward you, etc which doesn't make for interesting enemies because all I see is the same thing mechanically
>They all have the same raspy, shrill screech they constantly make while attacking
>Enemies have proper poise AND infinite stamina
>Greatweapons (GSs and UGSs at least) are way, way, way too slow for how much damage they do when they finally connect

How much Attunement should Pyro builds use? Ideally going Pure caster, with Demon's Fist as a backup weapon and I'm going to put 30 points in for 5 Slots.

My only concern is that because CBV uses 2 slots, I won't have enough slots for any other decent spells. I have Darkmoon Ring so I can technically equip CBV for free but should I do that or just put more in Att?

>>149643351
Because he ran out of eggs

Am I seriously the only one who thinks UGS damage is fine? I used BKGS as soon as I could equip it on my first playthrough and was 1hitting all basic enemies the entire way through the game. Like +3 going into Irithyll Dungeon and I was having no troubles at all.

And then I just brought the same BKGS into PvP and did fine for about 40 hours or so before I decided to mix it up with some other weapons.

Yeah they're fucking slow but I managed to get the hang of delaying attacks and timing/charging of R2s pretty quickly. Moreso I see complaints of Damage being too low everywhere, but so far I've outraded every weapon that's tried barring like Yhorms.

Do you guys actually try out weapons in PvE or anything before jumping into PvP or what?

>>149644210
>Am I seriously the only one who thinks UGS damage is fine?

Probably. I think most people believe that if it's difficult to hit with a weapon, it should do a lot of damage when you do hit with it.

>>149644289
It deals a lot of damage, and it has hyper armour. Using only UGS is dumb, but they are not that bad.

>>149644210

The damage on most Ultra Greatswords is alright, I think it's silly that for many of them their damage is outpaced by greatswords but aside from some small buffs the general damage is acceptable. The real problem is the weapons are just so slow and stamina inefficient, even at 40 END you can only get like 4 2HR1s and a roll compared to a straight sword. Which would be fine if the weapons weren't so slow and depended on HA trades. They're also heavily imbalanced on PvE which is more of an issue I think, since late-game bosses like Champion Gundyr are a fucking nightmare with them unless you're spamming parries or rolling attacks since your HA is broken easily and your almost entirely dependent on trades that will outdamage you.

But UGS are far better then the other great weapons. Greataxes aside from Yhorm's and the BKGA are almost useless with lack of range and an utterly predictable moveset along with the problems listed above for UGS. Curved Greatswords have a parryable 2HR1 you can parry on reaction with anything making them almost useless. And Great Hammers are the worst, having the worst damage on average of the great weapons that even some Curved Swords and Straight Swords outpace, while having the worst moveset of the great weapons by far with all the problems (the one exception being the Great Club and its fantastic R2s).

>>149644210

>>149644289
>I think most people believe that if it's difficult to hit with a weapon, it should do a lot of damage when you do hit with it.
Makes sense. Straight swords are easy to land, so they do moderate damage. UGS are much, much more difficult to land attacks with, they do barely more damage than a straight sword, yet require much more dedication just to make the thing hit someone.

>>149644210
>BKGS
There's the reason you did tons of damage uninterrupted. Try going through the game with only a Zweihander or Greatsword UGS. You'll probably be tearing your hair out in frustration because you can't land attacks, you keep getting your attacks interrupted, or you finally manage to land a 3 hit combo on an enemy, depleted your stamina, only for them to have JUST enough HP left to grab you and insta-kill you while you can't roll away from them.

>>149644448
>Using only UGS is dumb, but they are not that bad.
The thing is, you should be able to go through the entire game with any single weapon. Sure, you may need to switch it up occasionally, but for the most part you should be able to go through any aspect of the game using one main weapon.

Yeah Prowling Magus was such an awful fight I was pretty mad myself.

>>149645118
Hours of PvP using the Astora Greatsword and Lothric Knight Greatsword tells me that when someone actually does get hit by an UGS R1, they typically roll right out of the hit and attempting to follow up with another just lands you 3 hits from their straight sword R1 spam.

Not to mention the obscene endlag on all UGS attacks basically guarantees they chug and recover whatever damage you did to them before you're even able to move again.

Can't chase, can't roll punish, can't poke, can't counterattack. If people are so keen to not get hit by them, they should be punished harshly when they do.

>>149645468
Both of those fights are super easy though. Just use lingering flame to take out all the adds before fighting RRA.

I don't think so. That's not a real requirement for the game to be good. A thing can have its uses and its lack of uses and it's all right. In PVP you can use a ultra great weapon with a sideweapon for example.

>>149645667
Are you implying I use any magic besides Craftsman's Hammer and Drangelic Shield?

>>149645874
Don't think of it as magic. Think of it as building a better mouse trap.

>>149646036
I see. Well I can't use magic anyway because I've put exactly 0 points in whatever the hell the magic stat is and I used my soul vessel awhile ago, now I'm farming old content to beef up.

I could just go to the gutter, but it's spooky and I don't want to deal with more fucking poison.

>>149645856
This is probably the point at which you stop responding, but it was true in DaS1. In that game, even though there were definite best weapons. you could make nearly any type of weapon viable as long as you knew how it worked. Not so much in DaS3, where being fast and dodging everything is how you win most battles.

>>149645856

In general I'd agree, but in Souls games it's usually the case that you can make anything work the whole game through, and you're somewhat encouraged to do that by the scarcity of upgrade materials.

>>149645553
>Can't chase
you can do that with the astora GS's WA, probably the only UGS with a useful WA and that's because it's not a UGS WA

>>149646121
I don't think it has requirements besides needing two attunement slots, which you can get using rings.

>>149646342
I don't know how to get those other than what I have currently is insufficient. I'll hammer my way through the mage and his pals!

>>149646510
I was suggesting the spell for the rats. For the congregation. Just backstab those bitches with your hammer.

>>149630480
which one?

>>149646147
Is that because you could always just backstab someone?

>>149646609
Oh, yeah I had to switch to the Heide Knight sword to cleave the adds down before Sif the Rat decided to jump all over me.

>>149646635
In PvP yeah but in PvE even without backstabs most enemies had enough vulnerabilities for you to beat them if you knew how they and your weapon worked

DaS3 it's a toss up as most enemy attacks have identical startup with varying amounts of damage done and they just keep throwing out attack after attack to the point that it's basically just gimping yourself to use anything slower than a straight sword

>>149637846
/k/ made cumbrownies I think

>>149646635
Not only that, but BS punishes on greatweapons meant that you could reliably counter GWs in PvP if you were good.

I've been OS for 3 months, is there a list of compiled updates anywhere? Can someone please catch me up?

>>149647252

Range is more important in DS3 than weapon speed. Even a very slow weapon like the whip can deal with erratic enemies like the lycanthropes as long as you have sufficient stamina to sustain stagger and then roll away.

Usually its "range, speed, damage. Pick two." Straight Swords happen to tick all three boxes.

>>149647520
Post ur feminine form and we'll see

>>149647520

Only major changes since a few months ago are greatswords are good now, most R1>Weapon Art>R2 combos are gone, and the Dark Sword was nerfed for 9 AR.

He looks nothing like him. Try bigger cheekbones and slightly longer nose for starters. The the right eye either white or at skin colour. Make the tattoo bigger to hide the side lines, his only scar is on the nose. And change that hair

>>149648882

Were you using a rolling, running, or weapon art attack? Because those can be parried, only the 2HR1s and R2s can't be parried. There used to be an exception with the Astora Rolling R1 where it couldn't be parried as well but I believe the last patch changed that.

will i be seeing velka l8r in DLC?

>>149648729

They did a lot of good spoop in bloodborne.

i feel like that could really up the spoop game if they brought back area music though

imagine brightstone cove or valley of defilement with a track like this:

I want to experience going blind into new londo at low level

Fuck the totg, even with no light it was just slightly unnerving. New londo had my heart racing like a motherfucker since I went there to remove the curse

Do you guys have any complaints about non-washing pole katana running attacks?

Why does no one complain about spear running attacks?

>>149652350
They're not as annoying.

>>149652296
is kings field easy to get into? thinking about getting an emulator to play it

>>149652318
the combat isn't very fun, but everything else about them is great

dark souls 1 level design throughout with interesting lore, etc.

dont play the first japanese one tho, its shit

>>149652350

They're not that annoying, but no one uses them as much because of the lack of range. Katanas in general honestly don't have much going for them in 3 beyond the running attacks though compared to straight/curved swords, so people just naturally gravitate to the washing pole because it's the easiest to hit it with.

Literally no idea, I can't even watch the videos really because of his habit of droning on and on over top of it. Not even about anything that matters, just whatever pops into his head, with repetition. Say what you will about Jund, but at least that guy is talking about shit that is relevant to what you're watching and might actually be worth knowing.

I'll take a Yami over either any day, though.

the controls take a lot of getting used to, but it will start to feel familiar if you can manage that.

aside from the controls and perspective, they're proto souls games

So what's the conseus on Lighting clutch ring? I'm doing a SL20 twink with Dragonslayer's axe, did they nerf it or can it still be used?

>>149652658
even more unpolished than demons souls?

This singular part of Tomb of the Giants has always creeped me out a bit. The rest of the area is just speedrun territory for me, but I always make a point to look out at this spot every play through. There's just something eerie about staring out into a vast cavern of nothingness with only a few limestone stalactites in the foreground that gives me weird vibes. I get the same feeling whenever I imagine trying to swim in the Great Blue Hole out in Belize.

why do you people do this? fuck OFF you didn't waste 60 points in faith for a mediocre amount of damage and some useless electricity spells.

KF3-4 are reasonably polished for the time they came out.

1 and 2 not so much

none of them aged well though.

How exactly do people DC?
Do they physically disconnect the LAN-wire?
I swear it's the most pitiful thing to do, what the fuck is wrong with dying?

Why do people act respectful and bow and stuff before fighting as an Aldrich Faithful? I just want to be a dick.
