No. Mass invaders should basically be speedbumps for the host. If you want a fencing club, host one or participate in organized PvP.

That's probably why From took the designated duelingfag covenant (Dragonbros) out and the torso stones exist purely for scaliepandering.

>Why even play online if you know you are going to effortlessly destroy everyone you see?

That's a question of interpretation.
You can have a wide range of skilled invaders and non-skilled invaders and their builds may or may not be effective. Generally speaking in Dark Souls 3 the invaders have a better chance of killing the host than in the previous games(twinking aside) since they are actually allowed to heal now with Estus. Earlier if invaders met ganks, they had to rely on ridiculous twinked gear or spamming instaheal items that weren't meant for mass consumption.

Invaders may not be on equal footing with the host, but they're more than capable of taking down hosts that are hiding with phantoms. Remember that the hosts aren't there to fight the phantoms, they're there to clear the level and get to the boss, and every time they clear and invader and chug more than 3 flasks, they lose more than they gain. So if an invader gets a host to chug 4 times, they've already set back the host.

Dark Souls 3 makes it so that essentially every place is the Forest Gank and there can be multiple invaders and gigantic free-for-alls with phantoms of multiple colors. The game isn't "balanced", but it's imo inherently more "fun".

the idea is that invaders should be an actual danger, something to say "oh shit, not now" over. they're supposed to bring the balance to an ember host with phantoms. personally i like how the MM prefers "ganks" but the fact that you're not allowed to have an edge over the invadees is retarded

Well, I've finally beaten DsI. Gwyn was not as difficult as I expected, only took me two tries.
The DLC bosses were fucking awesome though,
Artorias ripped me to shreds so many times I lost count. Kalameet and Manus were great bossfights too. What's your personal favorite boss in DsI?

>>149677695

>>149677406
>Generally speaking in Dark Souls 3 the invaders have a better chance of killing the host than in the previous games
False due to it being harder to kill anyone 1v1 in general than in previous games, as DaS3 lacks DaS1's instant backstabs as well as the slower pace of DaS2 - rolls cost 16 stamina as opposed to 30 in the other games, and give you a shitload of iframes to the point where you can get someone stuck in a corner and be unable to kill them until their stamina runs out just because they spam rolls in place.
The thing is that with two phantoms and a host, spamming R1 creates a dense enough blender that you can't roll through it reliably, but the host can always reliably keep rolling away from the one invader. Hell, a smart host will literally never die to invasions, just roll to the boss fog. Not like you can stop them.

>So if an invader gets a host to chug 4 times, they've already set back the host.
Killing a dark phantom refunds some flask uses in 3.

>Dark Souls 3 makes it so that essentially every place is the Forest Gank and there can be multiple invaders and gigantic free-for-alls with phantoms of multiple colors.
Except this never happens outside of the Aldrich cathedral unless the host is using the Dried Fingers.


Hosts in DaS3 are happy to see invaders, on average it means they're getting some Estus back. This was not the case in previous games.

Yeah, I keep running into suicidal hosts too, fuckers just charge straight into groups of 3+ mobs. I don't even know anymore, is this how people usually play these games? I always attempt to separate groups, or if that's not possible do hit and run where I wait for opportunities to sneak in hits between their attacks then back off before getting gang raped. Seems like common sense.

Are these the same people who complain about always getting stunlocked to death? Would explain some things.

This is why Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 in their heyday will always be better than Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3.

People who played Dark Souls 2 or Dark Souls 3 first might disagree, but it's simply because they never played the first two games when they were released.

The launch of Demon's Souls and the launch of Dark Souls are a perfect storm that From Software will never be able to re-create unless they create an entire new IP w/ new game-play mechanics, very different from Souls.

The whole appeal of the first two Souls games was nobody knew shit about anything, and the joy of discovering and exploring shit on your own and telling your friends about it, not the whole internet.

It was also during a time where wiki's weren't widespread in 2009, and social media hadn't taken over to the point where finding the answer to anything was just a few clicks away.

"Souls Veterans" and the "Pillars of the community" are the cancer that ruined the Souls series. The wikis, fextralife, etc ruined it too.

From Software is better at creating new and unique experiences rather than creating the same rehashed shit over and over.

>>149678867
No it isn't, everyone knows that the reason you get hit by "shockwaves" in 2 is because the player's hitbox stays behind them when they roll, usually not because of fucked attack hitboxes.

The actual fucked attack hitboxes are few and far between, notably Mimic grabs.

This is laughable. Muh "social media" had been in full swing already toward the end of 2000s and GameFaQs has been a thing for nearly 15 years. Besides, the best place to discuss Souls has never been on "social media" unless you also count 4chan and the wikis as a "social media".

>The whole appeal of the first two Souls games was nobody knew shit about anything

World tendency isn't a bullshit system. It's pretty interesting, the lore does have it's nuance too, after all I hear plenty of people who don't know one thing or another or have some misconception about it. It's just less apparent since it isn't fed through item descriptions.

It's interesting system that falls apart because it's manipulation requires you to play offline or not teleport back to the Nexus much at all and specifically avoid killing bosses while wanting to turn the world into Black Tendency.

Similarly, a lot of the Tendency mechanics are stupid, when they add a plank somewhere or randomly open a gate or clear a pile of rubble. It doesn't make common sense.

Essentially the World Tendency makes PBWT a cool optional hardmode, but it requires manipulation to get it to happen.

I play online and use tendency all the time. It's actually easier in a lot of cases, since the average shifts towards white. It adds a level of replayability to the game, and can make first playthroughs more interesting if people encounter different things to different people, for example I found Selen on my first playthrough, not realising that she's connected to tendency.
I don't think we should apply common sense too much to this. It's literally about how demonic or light a world is, it doesn't make much sense. Magic isn't really constrained by logical rules, and it shouldn't be, otherwise it's not magic.

Hey, is there some beautiful and wonderful person out there that can give me a caestus on PC ? I can trade you some other goods, like ALL THE FUCKING RINGS IN THE GAME FOR THE STUPID ACHIEVEMENT, I really want an extra caestus but I don't have friends that play the game.
So...

The best part is that when you do early dancer you still get the cutscene where you are teleported to church and hear that old woman's voice.

Unless they patched it already, tried it shortly after release.

I found BP Selen impossible in a fair fight, but Satsuki is arguably harder because he can't be cheesed as far as I know (I actually think Satsuki is a good way of teaching people how to counter grassing against actual people). Doran is really hard too.

2. Crowsteel
3. BP Satsuki
4. BP Selen Vinland
5. Madman Hodrick (only becomes a one-shot kill parry-king in NG+, and can still be relatively easily be dealt with)

Get a strong straight sword like Astora, Dark or Lothric

Buy great chaos fireball, also get rapport and hidden body when possible.

if you're far away, you can sprint away and then roll into it. if you're close, you can sprint to your right and around him or lock on and just walk around him (you have to be very close for that to work) or roll to your right in the safe spot near his left arm and then roll the swipe or roll to your left into the hilt of his halbert and roll the swipe. you have to make the first roll when his right foot lifts off the ground. i think it's more difficult to avoid the charge with rolling then without it
