>just finished Dragon Shrine in SotFS
I still don't know what everyone hates about the remaster. Based on what I've read and watched about the base game, a lot of the enemy and item placement changes make more sense. Plus the things you use the torches for are actually useful.

>DaS2: random non-respawning Heide Knights all over the world in non-sensical locations, but none inside HEIDE'S Tower of Flame
>SotFS: bunch of respawning Heide Knights in the area instead of a bunch of crappy Old Knights, making the area actually challenging

>DaS2: Licia keeps invading you even if you sequence-break and kill her at Heide
>SotFS: killing Licia early stops Nameless Usurper from invading

>DaS2: have to get all the way to Iron Keep before you can get the Dull Ember and start infusing weapons
>SotFS: having the balls to face and beat the Pursuer at early levels rewards you with the Dull Ember, allowing you to diversify your build after potentially two bosses

>DaS2: have to fight and beat the Belfry Gargoyles in a hot PvP area in order to get a key that lets you make the Lost Sinner fight not stupidly hard
>SotFS: you can get the Bastille Key near Straid's, making both the Belfry areas optional

>DaS2: Undead Lockaway Key is just stored in some random place
>SotFS: Undead Lockaway Key is hidden in an area with Skeletons and Necromancers, teaching players how to deal with them before they face the Executioner's Chariot

>DaS2: lighting up Undead Crypt does nothing but make it look prettier
>SotFS: game gives you a single sconce that summons a single invader, which serves as a warning sign that you you should not light the big one if you didn't pay attention to what Agdayne said

And a bunch of other stuff too.

The only thing I didn't like about SotFS was the Weeb Knight gangbang in Iron Keep. Other than that, I felt it improved DaS2 quite a bit too.

>>150065010
>making both the Belfry areas optional

This is not a good thing in terms of online activity. The Belfries were optional before, now they're optional and there's not much good reason to go through them either.

I don't disagree with the other stuff, but I think what rankles most people is just that you have to spend even a single extra cent getting all that shit when you could be playing BB or DS3 instead.

>>150065146
1v1 me right now highwall password: dsg

>>150065010
dont forget the Gutter, there's more torch sconces now and lighting them all nets you a special invader.

to add to the Heide Knights, in going with their theme of heresy/heathen, there's one locked up in sinner's rise, AND the one with the iron mask got dumped down the pit into the gutter.

thats another nice touch: actually including the Iron mask Heide knight instead of getting it from a noob chest right around Dragonslayer.

base game ruined the iron mask. it was the scrub helmet to go with the Drangleic scrub set

The one thing I liked about DS2 was that it had a lot of *stuff* in it. Enemy encounters, areas, and invasions.

It wasn't necessarily good stuff, but it was... well, stuff to discover. DS3 lacks content by contrast.

I think I used all my +9'd and +10'd weapons in the FC now excluding metamemes like the CCS and HSGS but I still got tons of titanite

One of the major faults with DaS2 is that it was way too ambitious and tried to do too much.

DaS1 was small enough that the bread-crumb lore pieces could be reasonably pieced together into a small enough world (reading about things like Gwyn's Firstborn and equating that with the missing statue in Ornstein and Smough's boss room, getting the Crimson Set and Remedy spell in Blighttown and learning that there are three Sealers from New Londo, etc.). But in DaS2, you just have small bits and pieces about things like Alva and Zullie and maybe some Saint or other, some knights trying to invade and conquer the Undead Crypt, nothing at all about who the fuck Amana is, and shit like that. As pretty as a bunch of areas in DaS2 are, the "lore" isn't really for shit compared to the first game.

>>150065783
Was I lagging when I fought you? I'm the guy that you killed while I killed you with the artorias memesword
There were a couple of sliding moments in that fight

>>150065904
>nothing at all about who the fuck Amana
Its just a name.

Amana is a shrine handled by Lindelt knights. Lindelt itself was created by former Drakebloods after Yorgh accidentally Shulva

>>150065995
I didn't see any lag, but I just fought that Black Knight Sword dude a minute ago and I had lagged there

I only commend the B team for having ambition, because I didn't like DS2 on the whole. I respect them for trying a lot of ideas that ultimately failed. It just was a shame that DS3 didn't pull together the best of what all the games in the series did well.

I don't know if DS3 came up so short on interactive content because the development was rushed, if Miyazaki was tired of the series, or if there was some team friction, but its flawed in the opposite direction that DS2 was.

I still play DS3 just because the combat is as snappy as in Bloodborne, and ultimately the gameplay is what I liked about Souls games (and what I disliked about DS2, which was that combat frequently felt like it was happening underwater).

So Yorshka, with her tail and ears, is the sister of Gwyndolin and Gwynevere and probably Nameless King as well.

I think this suggests that the person who fucked a dragon in the course of creating Priscilla was Gwyn himself. Gwyndolin's bottom half is a bunch of serpents, serpents being imperfect dragons according to Dark Souls lore, so he was probably another product of Gwyn banging outside his own species; in addition to explaining his otherwise non-sequitor snake feet, this would also explain why his upbringing was so strange both in its secrecy and in the reversed gender. He was a bastard child and thus in need of hiding, much like Priscilla and perhaps Yorshka as well. That you're meant to associate Yorshka with Priscilla seems undeniable, and considering that Priscilla is a halfbreed, that Gwyndolin could well have been a halfbreed (why does he like magic so much in opposition to the miracles of his father and brother?), and that Gwyndolin and Yorshka are explicitly related, it seems quite plausible that Priscilla was Gwyn's own child as well, another embarrassing product of adultery hidden away from sight.

This also somewhat fits Gwyn's image as the Zeus of the Dark Souls cosmology; Zeus loved boning women who weren't his wife and plenty of the demi-gods of Greek mythology were the fruit of his loins.

I really hope we learn more about the Furtive Pygmy in the DLC. I hope it's set in Londor and somehow ties in with the Pygmy; it's the only figure of the original creation myth shown in the opening cine of DS1 who remains mysterious in any way.

Actually, I'd also like to learn about Gwyn's wife if he had one, the Hera of Dark Souls so to speak. I mean, he must have birthed his legitimate children with someone, right?

I didn't mind fighting the Estoc since the only people I ever encounter with it in Pontiff are absolute garbage, and fighting someone who's actually good with it gives good practice. You had some very skilled use of the R2s as well, I didn't know they had as much range as they did in 3.

I really lean towards the idea that Priscilla's the result of Gwynevere getting raped by Seath. I have no proof beyond how Priscilla's really tall, and is part dragon. But Seath's the only dragon around, and he has an interest in Gwynevere's maidens.

I wouldn't be surprised if his interests bordered on the lecherous, and Gwyn offered him a night with Gwynevere to placate him or something. Since he did have a Lord Soul, and executing the Duke for no reason wouldn't exactly be politically advantageous.

If you only use dart/ hail and soulmass to harass and mostly go melee then maybe stop at 50 or even 40

Cool. Just curious, why not 50? That looks like the highest spell I could find.

The scaling is still pretty good until 60. The damage difference between 50 and 60 is not as low as you would think

>host gets to 10% health

It's bothering that this shit just repeats ad infinitum, at this point, the only way to win against hosts is to parry their phantoms or be lucky and get a OHKO parry off on the host.

>>150074646
Try using a spear or an estoc to catch rolls, it works pretty well when I get a host that does that garbo.

fighting at half hp usually makes people play more aggressive and also easier to parry.

>>150063761
With a good build farron darts deal at least 100 damage per cast, more than twice than normal throwing daggers.
For estus punishing it's better to use great soul arrow, it casts so fucking fast they will always get damaged for most of the amount of healed HP.

The hyper armour on weapons across the board needs to be stronger and more active on more frames and sooner in the animation.

Straight swords need slowing down to their das2 speeds.

While I like the idea of Gwyn just banging anything that moves, I'm not sure if Yorshka is actually related to Gwyndolin. Calling her 'brother' could just be a term of affection, presumabely he looked after her and cared for her, and he probably wouldn't like being referred to as a father.
I remember reading one theory that Velka was Gwyn's wife, hence the tension between them. I don't think that though, I think Velka is similar to Nyx. An ancient deity who Gwyn fears due to her power.

I think they should have also added some NG+ stuff and maybe changed around some things in the DLC just to fuck with us.
I mean, out of all the bosses that get additional spawns, why not the Covetous Demon? Spawn some red phantom Flame Sorceresses up the stairs and one or two enemies on the ground. Poor guy needs some help ):
I also think that frigid outskirts needs some more secret stuff that is kinda cool like the Mirrah Mask or the ring. You actually can go the other way, not towards the boss, but there is absolutely mothing but kirin-ripoffs that fucking murder you.
And desu, Gargoyles should have the key for Lost Sinner to reward you for your effort a bit. Defeat a dickish boss in a pvp area? Next boss will be even easier.

The "reward" for clearing a ratfag area as a forced invader was that you cleared the area and got a lockstone that served basically no purpose outside of the ratfag areas anyway, you couldn't even pick up loot, it was infinitely easier to go through your own version without the host ganking you alongside the rats and any traps they managed to activate shitting up your life.
There was no incentive to take part in the first place, so the penalty of crystaling out or dying in trade for having an easier time with the area and being able to grab loot wasn't even worth thinking about.

in particular the skin looks horrible. is that a lore thing?

I didn't deny being a faggot, I denied being a big enough faggot to use dual swords.

I miss farming souls through invasions and winning jackpots once in a while.
Once in the forest every blue netted me several hundred thousand. I just went afk off the cliff and let ganksquad do the work.
Good times.

Court sorcerer and 60 int? Do I go full minmax? Also, I'm using the heavy ver of great SA so I was wondering if the regular ver is any good?

I always get invaded in Duke's Archives, directly near the stairs to the third bonfir

Now I have to kill the mobs while dealing with arrows and Channelers and an invader trying to chew my ass

Yes. Yes.

Regular great soul arrow is great for pvp as it can punish for a lot of stupid shit like trying to estus in your face. Heavy one is mostly good for pve.
