Damnnohtml tournament summary for keks:

"Top" PvPers showed they lack an understanding of sporting behaviour.
Probably because most of them are overweight man children that have never participated in anything competitive.

Dark souls III is not competitive.

All you need to be able to do to vs these "Top" PvPers is run around in a circle and react to them occasionally, or throw out some quick unpunishable running attack, rinse and repeat.

All adds up to create an absolute boring mindfuck of a shitshow.
The most interesting thing about it was that one of these retards won 500 bucks.

Actually thinking this immensely boring shit will revitalize the PvP in this game is the moat arrogant thing this tournament boasts.
Watching these idiots run at eachother with grossly oversized weebswords and CSS was a good cringe, though.

Lothric Knight armor recolors would be alright, but the default Catheter knight armors look so much inferior to the CKG Knight armors.

>>150926674
The shit part about Vordt's armor is that you'd look unnatural as fuck using it because all the outrider knights walk on all fours.

Also, boss armors in general look kinda silly when they have to scale them down a lot so you can use them.

The Ancient Wyverns drop attack hitbox is wonky.

i thought that would have been sandland too but it isn't and carthus is not what it was supposed to be even though it made sense. But it's safe to say they suddenly turned a big 180 while developing the game from the info we have. just like dark souls 2. Probably when they realized they were behind schedule.

>>150927305
Carthus is probably a far away land and the undead legion travelled there so they got the chalice and brought it back to guard it or something.

The chainblade snakes are the only thing you mentioned that are even an issue. The other snakes are easy, and the drop is 100% success rate if you know what you are doing.
>>
>>150927420
well there are two possibilities

one is the door behind abyss watchers is a portal to a far away land which is dumb and too miyazaki

two is they built it there so the abyss watchers can watch over the chalice. Wolnir is afraid of being swallowed by the abyss too. You can see this on his death animation, I watched some youtube videos trust me.

I just realized why invading is so boring in DS3: because all the fun weapons are unusable garbage.

no, the door that leads to the catacombs. it's not a door exactly but you can see what I mean.
>>
>>150927450
Bro you can run through that you know, the dumb fucks haven't figured out ladders.

Your biggest worry is chain snake transcending the physical realm to whack you through solid concrete. But there's no reason you can't take a few shots if you didn't meme rush the fight for the free souls.

As for missing the drop attack I dunno man try the tutorial in DS1 or 2 they cover it pretty extensively. Careful though Asylum Demon will slam dunk you if you take too long, unlike fucking Wyvern. That's how stupid this fucking boss is, the very first boss you meet in DS1 is smarter than it.
>>
>>150927609
Seath was still easy even as a mage though. Seath was just super easy in general. The only thing that took effort was getting his tail.
>>
>>150927484
The sun is still up, it's just obscured by the trees.

The trees are dead because they're in a poison swamp and poison kills things.

Why didn't they just give the fucking dragon a soul? Surely NK was buff enough on his own to not have to absorb it.

>This is ds2 in a nutshell, really.
1. The A.I in Souls games has never been particularly good. The most there's been is :
"is the enemy blocking? if yes, shield bash to break their guard" or "is the enemy far enough away? if yes, then use ranged attack instead".

2. The only NPC fights that were ever worth a damn in the series were Satsuki, Meat Cleaver Phantom and Selen Vinland from Demon's and Maldron / Jester Thomas from DS2 DLCs.

3. All DS2 / DS3 NPCs pretty much know how to perform a guard break and riposte you, while in Demon's Souls / DS1 they don't really know how to do that.

So NPC "stupidity" is in no way exclusive to DS2 and in fact, it has one of the better NPC invasions due to scripting (Maldron).

Yes, DS3 improved on the enemy A.I drastically. But that doesn't mean that DaS2 is PARTICULARLY shitty in terms of A.I because even at it's worst it's par for the course for the series.

They only thing crowsteel has is more bullets to make up for him being an NPC. It's also why hunters tend to have really large health pools but only one vial.

That doesn't outright break the game like Maldron walking on air, or NPCs rolling out of parry animations. If you parry Crowsteel, then you get your visceral.

If From makes a spiritual successor to Dark Souls, it matters none what Dark Souls 1 ending would be considered "canon" by the fanbase since it's a different i.p.

From likes to reycle themes from their games to other games, that's why we have lore theorists who claim that the Universes of Dark Souls / Demon's Souls and Bloodborne are connected, but they leave things as vague nods rather than definite, solid connections.

So if From did what you're suggesting, it would be at best vague hints and nods.

Nah, the just have a short amount of time after flailing around where they won't be stunned by it again. Hence, why I included backing off.

You burn them, beat on them, back off for a bit (few seconds), then burn them again.

The parry on the dolls is annoying, they can still grab you even through a parry, and the iframes don't always match up with the proc. And more annoying still, is that Frenzy keeps filling even after they die.

A pack of Hemwick witches in the Chalices is pure hell.

>>150939227
Per-hit would probably be Yhorm's Machete barring bosses with extreme elemental weaknesses, but the DPS is absolutely abysmal because its slow and eats stamina. If you want to murder bosses, pretend this is bloodborne and grab something with comically high dps. The best way to floor most posses quickly is to grab a strong bleed weapon, like the carthus sword, and slap a rouge on it. Some bosses have extreme elemental weakneses that are best exploited either by specific weapons or by a specialized caster build. Aldrich, for example, gets completely decimated by pyromancy

Well, the "we" part is questionable these days since not a whole lot of the people involved are here anymore, but /dsg/ people did the following :

>Invaded him in Dark Souls 1
>co-oped with him to dick him over like aggroing the Moonlight moths at Seath's cave and got him cursed at Seath
>invaded him in Demon's, scraping his equipment, made him kill a merchant and deleveled him a couple of times
>tried to orchestrate a mass suicide on his server to cause his World Tendency dip into Black (it didn't work because World Tendency mechanic is trash)
>spammed malware and porn links in his stream chat

Because /dsg/ tried to enlist the help of /v/, DSP found out that there was a "4chan vs. DSP" plan and started Nexus suiciding. Then he leveled offline to SL97 and steamrolled through the rest of the game in Soul form.

He is pretending. If he play semi competently then no one would care. By pretending to be absolute shit, people can't stop talking about him and constantly bring in more views by word of mouth. Even your shit posting about DSP just makes him more money. It would be stupid for him not to pretend to be shit.

Tbh, people were mostly bringing out the Scraping spear against him. Playing against a scraping spear user isn't fun for a newbie in Demon's Souls because lmao infinigrasses and for the most part an invader can easily cause more loss in soul costs to repair your gear than you get from killing the invader so it's difficult to enjoy everyone that invades you having LMAOSCRAPINGSPEAR so while he was indeed a pussy, fighting would've lead to just more pointless busywork of farming souls so he can get his equipment fixed.

In Dark Souls 1, where buffs were literally the absolute pinnacle of damage boosting, their limitations were understandable. Now that buffing is basically just "your weapon is almost as good as a quality weapon" there's no reason for them to be restricted by extremely short time-limits or so easily expungable.

Do setup parries (i.e block first hit of the combo, then you should know the timing for the second).

If you parry once and it fails, don't parry immediately afterwards because only retards would fall for that meme.

That would be fine in a game that isn't Dark Souls, a game that builds on the tradition of having traditionally "Dark Souls" things.

I think From is purposefully destroying Dark Souls traditions so they can transition the audience more smoothly into their next project which is going to be Memeborne 2.0 which fully discards a lot of the Dark Souls traditions like dedicated spell / faith builds or armors with actual effects.

>>150946336

In SotFS, does FROM detect items you should not currently have? I don't mean hacked items like +15 weapons etc. but for example post-Shrine of Winter items before unlocking the door/DLC items without getting the initial keys?

Haven't been able to find anything specific on this issue, so I assume it is safe. It's basically the same as someone dropping you the item, as long as it's droppable, right?

I did it in the regular version and it was safe but SotFS got me softbanned (most likely for editing my SM, although I had no issues with it in the original DkS2).

>>150946957

>>
>>150946957
If it's tradable, it's safe.
Be sure to be in offline mode while itemswapping as a precaution, but the only legitimate items that might trigger buns are untradable ones. Some of those items have a flag that causes the game to treat it as an impossible item until a progress flag is tripped and those will trigger buns. For example, the agape ring can't be purchased until you have 30kSM and is untradable. If you itemswap yourself an agape ring below that SM value, it'll detect an invalid item and serve you softbuns fresh from the oven.

I didn't mean Jester / Duck crown shit, but rather stuff like armor generally having an impact in protection which made builds have to choose between protection and fastrolling. Now Heavy Armor is a complete joke, forcing you to fatroll while not even giving tangible benefits or poise.

>If by "tradition" you mean "unbalanced garbage"
It's more depth to the gameplay. Buffing is a risky maneuver in PvP and wastes a spell slot you could use for something else, and it's also something you can use as a psychological measure to make your opponents go on the defensive. It also encouraged people invest in Faith/ Int and gave some alternative damage types besides just the "LMAO JUST MAKE A QUALITY STRAIGHT SWURD FUCK BUILDS AND REPLAYABILITY XD"-meme.

As a result for shitting on the series' traditions From has made the PvP of the game into one where everyone does the exact same shit and uses the same few weapons for low level AND high level pvp because it simply shits on everything else and everyone is on the same level when it comes to defensive properties because there are no armor upgrades.

DS3 attempts to be Memeborne, but stops half way and as a result it's neither memeborne or Dark Souls which is a shame because the effort that was put into the game clearly shows, it's just that From wanted to make a new Memeborne but was forced to make Dark Souls, so they butchered the Dark Souls portion of the package without any meaning return out of it.

I need advice /dsg/.

I'm currently running a Pyromancer and it's pretty fun. I'm at 20 Vigor, 24 Attunement, and 20 INT/FAI. I have 12 STR and 10 DEX. I'm currently wielding a raw Astora Straight Sword, and buffing it with Carthus Flame Arc. I've gotten a hold of Chaos Bed Vestiges and it's really fun.

Right now, however, most of my Caster Warriors are using Astora Straight Sword, some as a crutch. I like the sword, but I'm a little scared I'll get bored with it. So I plan on upgrading to the Astora Greatsword later. I'm wondering if I should infuse it with Raw or Chaos. I don't plan on buffing STR/DEX past the requisite to use the weapon with one hand, so is it really worth maintaining its scaling effects? I can infuse it with Carthus Flame Arc and turn it raw for a better deal, right?

I'll give them that it feels very finished and polished. The PvE content is also good and I think some of the things I disliked about the game might help to make the experience better for a large portion of the playerbase (i.e shitters don't actually go to the endgame areas too early because there's only one way you can go and the difficulty level of bosses stays consistent due to the controlled gear progression)

>>150947458
Okay, here's it shortened out :
Taking out depth out of Dark Souls without a meaningful return is a mistake because it means players will get bored of the lack of variety. You take out one thing and it also means that you'll make the things designed to counter it less meaningful, resulting in dumbed down gameplay that is ruled by few meta weapons since everybody's movement and level of protection can be assumed to be on the same level.

Fatrolling wasn't really "viable" in Dark Souls 1, but you had poise and meaningful protection as a trade for shit movement. Turtling is a shit playstyle, but the viability of midrolling and even fatrolling builds to some extent meant that there was real variety, and buffing is a trade too : if you buff at a shitty spot, you'll get backstabbed or just rekt on the spot.

Moundmakers would be really fun if they were allowed to fight bosses and get vertebra shackles that way. Even if they weren't allowed to attack the host/phantoms upon entering the boss fog, although it would be better if they were. Currently the only function of being a mad spirit is kicking me out of a world before I'm done with the invasion.

White-sign moundmakers should have just worked like small white signs. Kill x number of enemies to earn a shackle, so you can be rewarded for helping host's with difficult sections that don't necessarily lead to a boss, like the exterior part of Cathedral of the Deep or the 2dog pit.

Pyromancy is overpowered at all times.
Sorcery is overpowered early and endgame but it kinda sucks around the middle since it doesn't scale well. Once you reach Duke's and get Logan's stuff it becomes easy mode.
Miracles kind of suck, except for weapon buffs and WOG.
>>
>>150953873

They might, actually, if white/gold signs were in short enough supply.

It at least wouldn't hurt, because currently there's absolutely no incentive to summoning moundmakers other than ganking them.
>>
>>150953752
Pyro is OP to the point of negating the difficulty of SL1 playthroughs, sorcery is second only to pyro, and faith sucks just like in every Souls game that isn't old vanilla DS2.

>>150953998
This. IMO the removal of the small sign was a terrible decision because now phantoms are back to relying on dumbass hosts to not die. I've gotten more vertebra shackles trying to help people than trying to kill them because hosts tend to run headlong into enemies in ways that make them impossible to save.
>>
>>150954060
yes
>>
>>150954074
Exactly the point, if they were allowed into boss fights, the only time a purple would ever be summoned was if there were no phantoms of other colours or if the host had no idea/wanted fun.
Just like now

Yeah, I know, it was just a little disappointing how stiff they were. I understand why they changed them because everyone was complaining how silly the stone knight ragdolls were in DS1, but yeah, ragdolls definitely existed in 2.

Also, if you walked a distance away and came back, they would reset, and sometimes glitch the fuck out and fly into the airs.

Carthus Sword has no approach that isn't trading with you or just rolling into you until you roll away and trying to rollcatch.

>will i see more stuff that inspired dark souls or is the greatsword the only thing?

Without spoiling too much :
Guts' armor from the Golden Arc is close to the Balder armor.
You can find armor that resembles that of Bazuso's in DS3 (and indeed his weapon too but you can't use it)
The Red Eye Orb looks like the Behelit(or the Egg of the King)
The similarities will become even more obvious once you cross over to the new animey.

>tfw using glaives is actually super fun because their strong moveset, fair stamina costs, actually working hyperarmor and the fact that they recovery quickly enough to actually fight means you can play aggressively
>they're cancer because most people just abuse them to turtle passive-reactively.

It was cheaply done, yeah, but the backgrounds are beautiful, especially on that Blu-ray:

The first episode is better than the manga volumes it replaces. Nothing important is cut, Miura was acting as producer and knew exactly how much shit to remove without affecting the emotional core of the story.

>>150957606
Agreed. Even when you're in NG+++, going from level 200 to level 201 still feels good. Everything scales well and there's enough equipment/spells with ludicrously high required stats, and then powerstancing sends them even higher. Scraping by with just your starting gear and a Longsword is possible but it's a huge challenge, whereas in DaS3 that's the optimal way to play.

Gadelong vs Skorbrand had a problem with a crash mid fight. They resumed the fight both at 40% health each, which is a rule scott had written but Baobao insisted he didn't. Baobao proceeded to ask around if anyone had knowledge of said rule and most participants said they didn't, probably because they didn't read the rules in the first place. Baobao decided he wanted to go to losers so gadelong could proceed in winners, but scott ultimately said no, then baobao and brokensword acted like spoiled manchildren and quit the tournament.

Moundmakers should be unable to be kicked from your world until they die, leave, or you finish the area you're in.

They should be able to interact with things in the world in the same way as the player, aside from picking up items that are dropped.

Moundmaker signs should not give you a prompt saying that it's the sign of a madman. They shouldn't even give you a prompt asking if you want to summon them. If you interact with a purple sign, even going as far as to say if you step OVER a purple sign rather than walking around it it should begin to summon the moundmaker, perhaps with a prompt stating "A mad spirit is drawn to your world".

Hell, I haven't even played DS3 yet.

You don't actually provide any substantial incentive to summon purples beyond small invisible numerical modifiers on things that are largely inconsequential. Nobody summons to farm, so a droprate boost is a meaningless bonus.

You remove the incentive for the purple to be a wild card and just turn them into an aurabox white phantom with friendly fire. There's nothing interesting in t hat paradigm whatsoever. You've taken a bad system and made it worse without making any meaningful improvements whatsoever. Its almost impressive.

how is it removed? by giving incentives for cooperation, you allow trust of the host, leaving them vulnerable. what incentive does the purple have to help the host? if there is no incentive for the purple to help, there is no incentive for the host to trust the purple. if it wasn't obvious enough i'll clarify that the purple gets shackles for the boss kills

>>150964831
That's what you get for being a VIGfag. Put some points into stamina and maybe you'll catch people.
>>
>>150965026
The host had a carthus sword, too. And, I'm willing to bet every phantom in his squad had something equivalent.

>>150964831
You don't. You'll never outpace another pvp build in a legrace, especially because you, as an invader, are always placed at a level deficit over the host. There is no gap between the iframes of a roll ending and the iframes of the fog-crossing animation beginning, so if the host every generates enough distance to sprint while being outside the reach of your weapon, they have generated a safe distance to sprint all the way tot he boss fog and cross it safely. Even if they get cut off or caught by another player, as long as they are 1 roll's distance from the fog door, they can cross it in a single, continuous stretch of iframes. Even if they're farther than 1 roll's distance and you succeed in rollcatching them, they can roll again before you regain the ability to move your character and cross the fog safely.

Running is an unwinnable scenario so long as the fog gate is accessible to the host. There is nothing you can do to stop them outside of catching them with a lucky(laggy) instantkill. Any action by a player which interrupts another player's ability to move/run/dodge ultimately places you further behind, as you net a lose of ground by hitting the host with any weapon, knocking them down by any means, striking them with any ranged attack and so on.

In short, there is simply nothing that can be done. You might as well ask how to beat somebody with CE godmode, sillyscript immunity and Z-lock enabled. You just don't, the mechanics of the game do not allow for a tenable win-condition for the invader, and this is very deliberate.

Friendly reminder that DaS2 allowed invaders to interrupt a host while they were attempting to cross a fog gate specifically to prevent this scenario. Naturally, it was cited constantly as one of the reasons that DaS2 was bad and, I quote, "not a souls game."
>>
>>150966906
Invaders could backstab a host going through a fog wall is DaS1. I don't know why DaS3 changed it.
>>
>>150960863
Yes, anon.

Receiving an oncoming blow on the edge rather than the flat of your sword causes the blades to bite into each other, creating what's known as a bind. It also helps that any typical medieval sword has the crossguard in-line with the edge on either side.
>>
>>150964831
Oops, just noticed I left a lot of extra video there at the end in the webm. I could have included more of the chase in the file size limit.

>>150966906
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe DeS, DaS, and Das2 all had a pretty lengthy fog passing animation, specifically to prevent players from just running past enemies or invaders. BB and DaS3 were the ones that started this unstoppable fog gate entry non-sense.

I honestly can't understand why they thought that was a good idea. They took the time to change it, surely examined it's effects on gameplay, and approved it as being more beneficial to the player's experience this way.

Small tip for chasing, never let your stamina reach zero.
>>

Stop pretending that you know what you're talking about. Nobody ever blocked with the edge intentionally, that's just asking for your blade to get fucked up.

You couldn't interrupt the fog-crossing animation in 1, but you could BS someone attempting to roll to the safety of the fog door before they could trigger the animation.

In 3 there is no gap. Even if you manage to hit someone right before they cross the fog, there's enough of a gap between the 2nd and 3rd R1 of any weapon for them to simply mash R1 and trigger the animation regardless. It's literally unstoppable, there are no options against it.

If edge parrying was never done intentionally, why the fuck are quillons on a sword always placed in line with the edge to begin with? Not every sword is a £50 stainless steel katana from comic con that snaps as soon as you swing it.

Stop pretending that you know what you're talking about. I can parrot information from videos and articles just like you can. :^)

I really feel they added a lot of things to help solo hosts who are being fucked in the ass by invaders but forgot they all benefit ganks too

>creating what's known as a bind
That's not what a bind is, you nerd. A bind is any situation in which two swords lock. They don't "lock" in the literal sense, but both combatants are applying force to their blade, which is in turn balanced by the force applied by the other. If the blades of the sword bite into one another, you've broken your sword. A bind is about physics and the biometrics of weight applied to a fulcrum along two planes, it has nothing to do with the edge of the sword "biting"

Because that's an efficient design for protecting both the fingers and wrist without unnecessary complication.There's a reason that rings were added and cup and basket guards replaced cross guards and it wasn't to better allow people to fuck up their blades.

Maybe biting wasn't the right term to use. Either way I meant that two sharp edges stick when they meet, which is what you're agreeing with.

That reason was hand protection.

As this anon >>150970404 and this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T21uXihIZcI explain, a bind is a situation in which two swords lock as a result of the edges meeting. Are you saying that wasn't an advantage or any reason to parry with the edge?

And now we've gone from edges biting into each other to edges simply meeting.

Move those goalposts straight up your ass you faggod.
