It's actually funny. Go ahead.

If anyone is looking for fun way to invade new players, here it is.

Create a Deprived SL1 character.

Transfer a Dark Hand + White Ring + Hornet Ring from another character. Get your SL1 character to Rosaria, giff her 10 tongues and get your Obscuring Ring.

Now, the invading fun begins. Equip your Dark Hand, White Ring, & Hornet Ring. Hide using a White Branch or Chameleon (you can use Scholar's Ring for to fufill the 12 INT req).
Wait for everyone to pass by, then reveal yourself. Wait until one of the phantoms lags behind or goes AFK, and pick them off w/ a OHKO backstab with Dark Hand + Hornets. Then change into whatever armor set and weaponry they had on.

If the phantom you picked off wasn't the host's friend, most of the time it should be easy to trick them into thinking you're their white phantom.

At the right moment, kill the host.

You were using the DSS right? Don't worry about it, you played well. People really underestimate the Farron GS though, especially its combo ability and the spacing it can quickly close up with HA that compensates for its low AR. It's not nearly as bad as people say.

All of the games have their flaws but DS3 has great levels and bosses and with that alone it wins over DS2.

DS3 has few of the largest and most complex levels of the entire series. The only thing beating them is probably Central Yharnam from Bloodborne.

Cathedral's alright.

High Wall is pretty good, but that doesnt mean much considering it;s the first area in the ghame- Central Yharnam was also the best level in Bloodborne, and its clearly where all the attention went

I honestly find many of DaS3's levels forgettable. i can remember DaS1 and DaS2 areas, but DaS3..? i dunno.

I remember the catacombs, those were neat. but, the rest..? either retreads of DaS1, or just bland...

>>150154615
>world design =/= level design.
except the entire appeal of DaS1's levels wasnt just that they were well designed but that they were interconnected. You could go from the parish to the forest, and loop back around into undead burg. You could go to valley of the drakes and enter Blighttown then head back up throught the depths into lower burg

that was part of the appeal. They also all had their unique atmosphere. aided by the lighting.

in DaS3, it feels like everything is the same dull gray sepia. only Archdragon peak feels like it has some color. The levels are NOT "cream of the crop" cut that shit out. DaS1's levels were cream of the crop. DaS3's levels are bland, uninteresting, and for lack of a better word, just too "videogamey". Many areas dont really feel like they are a real place. just a themed railroaded attraction.

kudos to you if you liked it, but dont try and pass off as FACT that DaS3 is the souls game with the best levels.

>>150154567
Being memorable isn't always a good thing, see Izalith.
I personally thing the actual issue with DaS3's levels is that they don't have a huge thing showing it's good or bad, or gimmicks.
For instance, settlement is an amazing level if you stop to to think: it has various enviromnents, tons of sidequests, many secrets around, various paths towards both the boss and the end of it, and good enemy placement and encounters (vase throwing guys near the bridge, exploding barrels, etc).
It is a very good level, but it lacks some wham factor, which I think is more because we've already played the series for too long, but they'd be very good areas for new players

Is there a better bonfire for hollow suiciding than Undead Settlement? I haven't found one.

>>150155151
Vordts is alright but I think undead is the fastest one

>>150154756
>>150154407
I wasnt talking about Central Yharnam. whats bait is comparing DaS3's levels to it. Central yharnam is probably the best area in BB. It clearly has the most effort, anyway.

>>150155002

>>150155147
>Being memorable isn't always a good thing, see Izalith.
I wouldnt call izalith memorable. Infamous or notorious maybe.

but regardless, you still want levels to be remembered. its not good when they all blur together in your head.

izalith was bad, but you vividly remember it, in no small part because visually it was unique. bright lava and cambodian temples. And of course, because of being an unfinished hot mess

As I said, it's because they are running out of types of areas to do. 3 has all the sorts they've already made, an ice area, a swamp, a city, a castle, a library, a cave, etc.
What would be needed for it to be memorable would be to be far more unique, which I don't see they doing.

>>150155132
You don't need to preach about how fantastic DS1 is. I know how fantastic DS1 is. But DS3 levels by themselves are fantastic and I don't see any reason to think less highly of them even though they don't connect to each other in more than one way, even if it's a bummer they don't.

Besides, the original point was that DS3 wins over DS2 with its level design. Would you disagree with that? DS2 after all is the most videogamey of them all. While it gives you several ways to go in the beginning, those ways don't interconnect with each others and the world design is nonsensical and all over the place.

>>150155490
is it weird to think that DaS2 did that better than 3? it seemed to work better in 2 than 3... is it just me? it feels like 2 did the DeS+DaS mix better. levels were semi connected, all from a central hub and they branched out, not unlike DeS, where you go through area 1, 2, 3, etc. only with some minimal interconnectedness.

So it goes, say, Forest, Bastille Sinner's rise and you face the "archboss" who gives you the great soul.

but you can also go Heide, Pirate Cave, Bastille, Sinner's rise.

then youve got Copse, Harvest Valley, Earthen peak and it ends in Iron keep with OIK.

you know? but meanwhile DaS3, just sort of forces you to go High Wall, Settlement, Road of Sacrifices before you can make a single choice, and even then its just a forked path.

Unless you kill the old lady and then good luck with an end game boss and end game area, that locks out of progressing further after the Dragonslayer Armor

Above anything else, I want the DLCs to put focus on those two things. They're the most different things this game has to offer and I want to know more about it. I really don't care about checking out Londo (which I can see being just New Londo) or anything like that.

>>150153106
Evaluating each game's single-player & replayability, my opinion goes like this:

Demon's Souls just drops the player in after the first level and gives you the freedom to go wherever you want to, tackling the 5 Archstones at your own pace. Every play-though is unique because you can choose what order you want to tackle the bosses in, and makes it really fun to replay the game.

Demon's Souls has the best replayability value, period.

Dark Souls on the other hand, is a very linear experience for new players because there is no way to skip stuff without the Master Key. The Master Key itself is the reason why Dark Souls is revered as a "masterpeice". Being able to skip earlier segements of the game is what makes it fun to replay as an experienced player-- the earlier segments of the game like the Burg, Parish, and Lower Undead Burg/The Depths are supposed to show new players the ropes of the game, and are snoozefests for experienced players.

Dark Souls is fun to replay because you can skip the boring crap.

Dark Souls 2 is flawed. It's like they took Demon's Souls, but instead of having you warp to the branching worlds and waiting for a minute loading screen, they made you run for a minute with a whole lot of nothing between areas. On top of this, two of the branching paths in Dark Souls 2 are completely locked off until you either have a Fragrant Branch of Yore to access Shaded Woods, or enough souls to level your VIG high enough to survive the fall to the Gutter or enough souls to buy the silvercat ring to survive the fall to the Gutter. Imagine if in Demon's Souls, you had to retrieve two keys from two of the Archstones before you could access the other two? I

Dark Souls 2 is not fun to replay because you're forced to fetch shit to access areas.

Dark Souls 3 is the most atrocious when it comes to single-player experience and replayability.

The game is a fucking straight line with three branches that you're forced to backtrack to if you miss them.

He is referring to the angels for comparison's sake to help provide dichotomy between the Abyss and the Deep, like how there's a difference between the Lord's Lightning and the Angelic Light.

>>150156079
>>150155912
Calling it, the Deep is based heavily around the idea of subduing the dark with water, i.e. New Londo. If we ever go to this "Deep" that Aldritch dreamed of (that he was supposed to create; therefore, we'd have to go far into the future for it to happen), at the bottom of it would be the deepest, dankest dark to ever dark that was only held back due to Aldritch suppressing it with thousands of pounds per square inch pressure only found in ocean trenches. Probably an incarnation of Manus, maybe they'll bring back Jar Eel.

>Central yharnam is probably the best area in BB
Yes I know, that's what I kind of implied. It's one of my favorite levels ever. But why would it be bait to compare DS3 levels to it? What exactly makes Central Yharnam so much more special that it can't even be mentioned together with something like Cathedral of the Deep, Grand Archives or High Wall?

>>150156262
Even without the master key you've got plenty of ways to tackle the game. I always start with witch ring and, when in the mood, just rush Taurus then Quelaag

>the earlier segments of the game like the Burg, Parish, and Lower Undead Burg/The Depths are supposed to show new players the ropes of the game, and are snoozefests for experienced players.
but Burg/parish/Depths are the best areas of the game

>Dark Souls 2 is not fun to replay because you're forced to fetch shit to access areas.
you mean like the wolf crest in 1? or World tendency in DeS? lets not pretend the other souls games dont do this too. DaS 2 obviously puts more emphasis on it, but theres still plenty of freedom to be had.

right from Majula right off the boat, you can go to either the forest, and fight 2 bosses, (provided you can kill pursuer early on your first try) or go to heide and also kill 2 bosses.

beat Pursuer and you immediately access Bastille from a unique entrance.

beat Dragonrider and you go through the pirate cave and have access to Another entrance to bastille, where you can fight 1 mandatory boss and 2 optional bosses

theres plenty of freedom to DaS2 starting out, even if you ignore technicalities like how to get down that pit without dying. but if you wanted to, you can still go down there early on. And that gives you 3 areas and 2 bosses.

Does playing dark souls blind with mouse and keyboard make me cool or good?

Central yharnam is much larger and is clearly sort of the "hub" other levels connect to. Its got a fair amount of interconnectedness and loopiness to it.

from it you can access Cathedral Ward and there's a shortcut back into it from Iosefka's clinic, which itself connects to forbidden woods.
And Cathedral ward itself connects to a bunch of places.

Do any anons have the image of the female player using the Dragon Torso Stone with thick legs/bottom?

The character is wearing the Crown of the Dark Sun in a few images too.

pls, installing ds1 on steam, haven't played it since 2013. want to make a thick char

>>150157376
>Its got a fair amount of interconnectedness and loopiness to it.
Yes. In itself. Just like the previously mentioned DS3 levels. There is only one way out from the level. Cathedral Ward is the Hub, not CY.

They loop back from another level MUCH later, which is cool, but it doesn't really serve any function to Central Yharnam, you just gain access to the clinic and warp back to the woods.

DeS had some of the best levels in the series strictly from an aesthetic and mood perspective. Also some of the most tricky bullshit in any game.

DS3's levels are fine, but they all feel a bit unfinished compared to DeS, DS1, and especially Bloodborne.

Wolf Crest isn't required. You can kill the Hydra to safely climb up the ladder from Darkroot Basin to Darkroot Garden. That's how I originally got to Sif.

The Crest of Artorias's 20K cost is chump change anyways by the time you reach Sif.

As for Demon's Souls, there is no point in the game where WT prevents you from progressing in the game.

Both of your arguments against Dark Souls and Demon's Souls are wrong.

Compare DaS2 to DeS. In DeS you get access to 5 different bosses at once at the beginning of the game. DaS2 does not give you this range of freedom, nor does DaS1 do either.

Has anyone tried doing a fully evenly leveled runthrough? Is it even viable?

Nigga, CotD is one bonfire surrounded by a huge Cathedral that loops back in itself several times with at least two optional areas. Same with Grand Archives, which has one of the more cleverer shortcut concepts we've seen in this series of opening secret passages through bookcases, usually it's just doors and elevators.

>>150158768
You can do a lot of stuff.

But you suck at everything

>>150157926

I think the major issue with DS3's levels is that they lack replay value. The initial run on each level is pretty neat because they throw some surprises at you, but once you've experienced the ambushes and the "whoa" moments they don't have many standout encounters to anticipate. Meanwhile, I still feel like I need to stay on my toes during my re-runs through upper Blighttown.

I killed him on my first playthrough because I thought that he was blocking the way through somehow

Went back to play Dark 2 after getting frustrated with 3 being full of cancer (twinks, and life partners all over), and I'm just finding the game much more fun.

Anyone else feel the same way?

>>150158852
So this guy is the Pontiff, right?

Will they ever fix the fucking fog wall bugs with co-op?

>>150158784

The camaraderie of being on the same side seems to smooth over any ill will.

I feel like this is the same reason that reds/purples/covenant invaders tend to target each other during an invasion. It's hard for people to step outside the mentality of having "team colors" even when it's mutually beneficial for invaders to help one another.

>>150159167

>>150159404
I know, I was giving an example of first run stupidity

>>150159371
It's always my hosts, and no other phantoms can get in to the boss either. When they summon a new player or get invaded it also causes most hosts to lag.

I even see butt buddy summons fail to enter. DS2 and DS1 never had this problem for me, whoever programmed the co-op part to deal with laggy hosts this time around should be fired.

>>150152403
Other than the invading covenants (Sentinels and BoB), the covenants in Dark 2 were just fantastic. Only covenant that is likeable in 3, that I find, is the Mound Makers, but even then it fails short as it does not allow for MM members to fight bosses

>>150159540

They're probably connecting from somewhere far off. When it's a "host rises to heaven through the fog wall" episode I usually take a seat and wait to see if they'll beat the boss solo anyway. Sometimes (not that often) they do and I still get the benefits.

>>150158648
Actually, DaS's first non asylum demon boss, even without master key, can be: Quelaag, Pinwheel, Stray, Taurus, Butterfly, Sif, Gargoyles or Capra.

2 gives you 4 bosses as said above with potentially more if you get a few more souls.
I personally think 1, because Master key, multiple routes and many actually optional areas and 2, because soul memory gate and the HP tax hole, do NG+ much better, because I don't simply keep postphoning certain areas, I simply speed through them, while in DeS I know I'll eventually have to do them all

would I get bunned if I gave myself a blessed mace?

>>150159290
I do love it when situations like that come up, it's just pretty awkward. Especially when they summon you, despite you fucking them over in some way. Guess I just expect people I play with to be more bitter.

>>150159679
Why are Dorkmoons and Moundmakers the only covenant where the person in charge actually talks to you, and has personality? Everyone else is either dead or has no dialogue, or simply doesn't exist

>>150159695
I usually drop an I'm sorry and leave. If all their summons exit out, they can try to homeward bone out or something.

>>150159909
Who are you implying to not exist?

>>150159869

Bitterness is getting ganked and shat on.

Getting stomped in an invasion is just par for the course.

>>150159909
No, only the dorkmoons. The moundmakers lose the person you get the covenant thing from, and even its turn in thing is just an alter

>>150159909
>Everyone else is either dead or has no dialogue
Because everyone in the world is pretty much just dead or tired. It'll be interesting if we actually get Londor DLC because characters there seem to be actually motivated and have a clear goal.

>>150160034
Covenants that don't even have a person in charge, like WoB, or Sunfags, who have their badge in some random house

>>150156262
>fetch shit
You can get both of those things extremely early lol, 13,000 souls is chump change and a run through the Gutter is 2 yores. Merchant Hag also sells one for 12,000.

The only offensively bad one is the one they added to the bastille.

>>150159909
One of the covenant leaders is literally a corpse in the corner of a sewer. Maybe two because I can't tell is the wolf is dead or asleep. The presentation of the covenants in this game just seem so minimal, like there wasn't much effort in putting anything into them.

Two of the covenants share the same functions as two other covenants, there is nothing new about the sun bros, and only one of them has a leader who interacts with you.

Shitters. I've had people pulling the plug on PS4.

From what I recall, the reasoning is that you get fewer souls for beating a boss with phantoms. I'm not sure that it's actually true that if you BC phantoms out before the souls are given that you get more, but people only need to believe you do to do that.

In ds2 it is. It's a twink strategy, you can get the agape ring at 21k instead of 27k

>>150162694
You can't buy the agape ring at 21k

>>150162486
Maybe they want to make a troll youtube video. Haven't had cable pulls on bosses before.

>>150162523
The boss gets an HP buff for each phantom, but that's it. I could see someone falling for a rumour like that, but it seems more malicious in intent. If you want more souls it would be better to just get the chest head than follow a rumour.

>>150162773
You can if you summon 3 summons for each of the bosses in the way and reduce the souls taken in by bosses by 60%.

It doesn't really matter since you're still in the same tier but you get 6000 extra souls to blow

No, you literally cannot buy the agape ring at 21ksm
The agape ring doesn't appear in Straid's inventory you reach a certain SM. You literally cannot buy it prior to that. You can't even cheat it in prior to that, since the game flags its accessibility by your SM value and will treat it as an impossible item if your SM is too low for it to become buyable.

Is there an armor minmaxer for DS3 yet? I want to put on a tryhard clownsuit but I don't want to try hard to assemble it if you catch my drift.

>>150166893
As long as the weapons and armor are realistic and I could roll and fight the same I don't give a shit. No Lotr high fantasy bullshit though

Honestly if there was another 3rd person melee rpg with a similar level up system I'd be playing it. It probably wouldnt be p2p

All of the bosses were a lot of fun when I did my archery-only run. You end up experiencing a different angle on their movesets when you're constantly keeping your distance.

>>150167104
mugenmonkey has one built in if you click the icon on the lower right. Also a class selector that gives you the lowest level for particular stats

fuck off

>>150166893
What is this?

>>150166893

i wouldn't like that aesthetic much desu

if it were the pure pvp version of a souls game, though, i would def play it

>>150167237
Wait that's UnderTail? I thought it was just an anime version of the Bait fish

>>150166893

Seeing as the type of action gameplay Souls has is its biggest draw for me, I'd welcome any games in any genre that tried to match it.

Randomize is so much fun.
Now I need to know what this guy is gonna use.

>>150167569
I've been meaning to since it came to PC. Long weekend so I guess I'll give it a go.

>>150167657

Poison or sorcery.

>>150167839
Already have a poison build

>>150167843
Already have a hex build

I'm thinking powerstanced daggers with Fire+Dark, like the Dancer?

If any kind soul has a life ring +3 or a dragonscale chestpiece (or both) lying around that they don't want or need anymore, I'd be grateful to take them off of your hands. Really don't want to go to NG++ and also I hate fighting NK on NG, much less on NG+.

>>150165858
Yeah but why for pvp it's fucking useless DS1 is a shitfest unless it's lower level PvP

>>150167904
That sounds like it could be fun, and pretty easy since they dark/fire both scale off the same stats. Maybe use that one dagger that's the normal one with the crust black shit all over it? It's pretty long and I feel like it;d work well powerstanced. You could get two of them and infuse one with each element if you don't mind NG+, or you could just get a royal dirk as well which shares the moveset and length IIRC.

I was just looking for an exuse to expose more people to Max Anarchy's OST

Also the title joke

What kind of music do you guys listen to when you're PvPing?

King's Field OST is gr8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFr7AyT17sI

>>150168392
I'm well aware of that OST.

>tfw listed to it so much back in the day that i'm sick of the whole thing now

>OH Blessed Shield + Sun Princess Ring + Soothing Sunlight
>tfw trading hits with ultra greatswords with a Dragonslayer axe and winning because of based Lloyd's Shield Ring

This is arguably cancer but it's hilarious. Take a hit, then just back off , let the regen top you off because you took fuck all damage because of the ring and start over.
