What happens to Anri at the end of her questline if you never kill Horace?

If you encounter Horace without killing him and kill Wolnir, she moves on to Irithyll without you needing to trigger the dead-end flag. If you save her from the assassin and help her with Aldrich, does she still end up in Smouldering Lake afterwards? Do the two of them gank you there together?

Even 50 faith with spices did not make that shit spell worth it. 0 tracking on orbs, pathetic damage, sometimes no knockback.

They all need adjusting. Lifehunt Scythe needs damage buff, dark edge needs hyperarmor or cast speed increase, great deep soul needs not to fly above your opponents head when they are close to you.

>DS3 has cool dark spells, but it needs a few more.

Define 'cool.' Dark Edge looks cool sure but it has fuck all practical use in most actual fights, let alone PvE compared to other spells.

Also there are barely any actual Dark spells compared to other versions. There isn't even the basic Dark Orb or Bead/Hail from previous games, which is crazy. The actual number of combat focused Dark spells is pitiful. For miracles you have Lifehunt Scythe, which is shit, Dead Again, which is never useful for the damage it does even with a pile of corpses unless you're in hypermode, the Dark Weapon buff, which is the worst buff mechanically for some reason, both versions of Gnaw which are only for PvE bleeding as a caster, and Deep Protection which doesn't even work in PvP. Meanwhile you got variants of Deep Soul, which is useful for mix-ups, Affinity which feels like the worst version of the hex by far, and the aforementioned Dark Edge, and that's it for Hex sorceries. Dark pyromancies are the only actually useful ones and that's because Black Snake/Flame can combo and have decent tracking for the former, while Black Fire Orb is a good PvE tool for pyros who need a damage type other then fire.

>>151416315
If the first R1 staggers you, then technically yes.
I say technically because the margin for error is so small than anything above 10ms of delay will basically ensure that it fails. I wouldn't rely on it unless you somehow find yourself on a LAN connection to your opponent.
>>
>>151414724
A damage buff, but not a massive one.
I use it a lot in PvP, and it isn't terrible when buffed, but it could certainly do with a buff. It should be fairly mediocre in damage though, due to it's immense range.
It also needs better scaling, so faith builds have something other than a raw ASS to use before they get wolnirs holy sword.

>>151418126
60dex chaosblade does the same damage as a hollow washingpole with a lower stat investment

It's not a joke build, it's just actually taking advantage of the fact that the 40 point softcap is more forgiving that it was in any previous game and that there's a second softcap at 60.

And nobody complains about dex because every dex weapon is just a quality weapon now. They're all still top-tier, regardless of what you build. Strengthfags are upset because strength weapons are shit with any build or infusion, and require more investment than quality for less damage, more drawbacks and borderline unusable movesets

Also, I just want to explore a huge and mysterious desert or something. Why does every Souls Game feel small once you've finished it? I know it's a lot to ask, but give me more to explore... More secrets to discover. Less bonfires and more meaningful "shortcuts."
Also, bring back PvP arenas.

I seriously don't understand what from was doing with buffs. They could have just made body buffs work in pvp, but you can't stack them. That way people can actually use these spells, but they'll also have to make an interesting decision in which one they take.

Pyro is way shorter than saying 40/40 int faith. That's what that is, a 40/40 int faith build that only uses melees and retarded tracking spells.

This is an area where I think gameplay should come agead of realism. You realise if you implemented that, STR weapons would be ruined early levels, for instance, and people would find the specific breakthroughs where you have just enough speed to HA through certain common combos, just like poise.
I think a better idea, if going for realism, would be to reduce stamina consumption past a certain amount of STR
>>
>>151421103
That'd basically turn large weapons into straight swords v2.

The SL system needs to be reworked, same as the health and straight swords should stay the same or get a slight AR buff while great weapons get a hefty buff. Maybe a very slight buff to attack speed but I don't think they even need that, just a good damage buff would make katanacucks/darkkiddies scared of having to trade hits with them.

The main issue though are the rolls. People can just rollspam with impunity.
>>
>>151421248
Tfw i realized summoning npcs were shit and i save a lot more time soloing
>>
>>151421437

I mean STR weapons are already really shit in early levels due to how little damage they do at base and don't improve much throughout the rest of 3s PvE with how much stamina consumption per swing they cost and their actual swing speed compared to the speed of late game enemies.

The damage of the top-tier great weapons for lack of a better term is already decent save for obvious garbage like the Great Wooden Hammer, the problem is their HA frames start way too late in attack animations and their movesets are shit for dealing with most every other weapon. An aggressive 2H Curved Sword/Dagger user can literally just keep walking up to a great weapon user and press R1 and due to how fast 2HR1s are for those weapons they will knock them out of HA before the attack swings unless the GW users is already midway through swinging at which point they can just roll and be aggressive until they can get a hit in at which point there is nothing a GW user can do save roll away to try and create space desperately or switch weapons.

It's funny, I fell for one of those articles claiming the DLC was due in the 3rd week of august. The actual article gave no information other than that "some have been saying" it will be out then with no mention as to who this "some" is, and with a link to the source article, another article by the same person at the same website that just repeats "some have said" with no indication of who has said august or what the source of that information is.

In other words, it's bullshit. It's just clickbait taking advantage of the fact that there's been a lack of information about the dlcs and a lot of people searching for information that simply doesn't exist.

Fight Clubs are a different thing because the whole thing grows organically : people arrange fight clubs but you can still invade them and mess them up if you like or you can decide to join them. Fight clubs are a fun and organic thing that doesn't revolve around the game itself forcing arbitrary rules in the duels, but social norms do.

While I appreciate From going the ectra mile to add an arena, I don't think that's what Dark Souls PvP should be about and why I'm generally so happy a lot of things in DS3 are very reminiscent of Demon's Souls.

That's only really an issue in DaS1 and Bloodborne, where endgame gives you access to a lot of tools that make it easy to really overpower your character.

DaS3 has nothing quite as ridiculous as DaS1's buffs or BB's chalice gems when it comes to endgame stats. It does have shit like straightswords and carthus rouge, but those are ridiculous at any level and will likely end up being the tools of choice for low-level runs through the dlc looking to steamroll it.

Ring of Blades +2 and Flynn's Ring.
Flynn's is a dlc ring that boosts your AR by a flat amount, up to a maximum of 50, based on how low your maximum equip weight is. Basically, anything blow 60 as a max (which is like 9 or 10 vit) gives you the full 50, and you progressively lose more and more of the bonus the further above 60 you go.

Because it imposes pretty strict weight restrictions, builds that used Flynn's ring basically only used small, fast weapons with light armor. So Robflynn is basically just cloth-wearing dexfags that stacked flat AR boosts to make curved swords and rapiers hit like ultra greatdicks.

Elemental doesn't scale in DaS1 outside of the magical damage paths (Magic/Enchanted/Divine/Occult), the only reason for doing so would be to meet the weapon's minimum requirements and maybe for greatshields too.

Unless you plan to grind towards Sunlight/Darkmoon Blade buff on a regular scaling weapon, you can't really do Str/Faith in DaS1. And I'm pretty sure resins will give you almost the same boost anyways without having to invest in Int or Faith.

>>151429108
Yeah, they nerfed almost every armor set in the game in a patch and also modified the damage calculation so that defense did less in general, basically putting every heavy armor set in the dumpster. Wearing heavy armor, and thus losing flynn's ring, meant you lost more damage vs a robflynn than they lost against you from your defense. Basically the only function of armor was poise, and poise was kind of shit outside of certain, very specific turtle setups.

>>mad phantom sprints right by me and wombo combos my sunbro. I guess it sends them home if they kill sunbros?

When they invade they are given a quota. They succeed if they manage to kill the host or the same number of phantoms as their quota. That Quota can often be just 1, in which case they are usually better off killing your phantom.

That place is the designated Dueling hot spot, so that is where most PvPers congregate.

You get a lot more Pharros Lockstones than you'll ever need, and 90% of the time they won't lead to traps. The other 10% are shit inside Grave of Saints and Doors of Pharros, and a single trap inside one of the Giant's Memories. Plus, I'm pretty damn sure you can farm Pharros Lockstones off of the rats that appear in Doors of Pharros, I got two off of random drop there.

As for Fragrant Branch, you have enough to de-petrify all but maybe one or two throughout the entire game. If you're diligent in exploring for loot and only unlock statues that block your progress and/or are blocking chests, you should be fine. You'll only run into problems once you reach Shaded Ruins, but at least two of the statues there are optional, one of the blocked chests gives you one back, and one of the NPCs that you help by beating the area boss gives you one for helping him. You can also bypass at least one by using a jump near the area bonfire, just be sure to have a Homeward Bone ready after.

I admit to my great shame that Bloodborne was the first Soulsbourne game I finished completely solo. Was too young and impatient for DS1+2, and Nameless King just made me summon some dudes.

However, being older, I've now decided to truly git gud and try all DS games solo, trying out the DLCs before the final boss. So far DS1 was a cakewalk with some weird VIT/END/RES/Pyromancy+lightning pike build, but the DLC seems designed to kick my ass.

I won't give up though. I beat Manus with my horribly gimped setup after like 10 tries, and I'll beat Kalameet with it as well! Finally learning how to fight without a lock thanks to Kalameet. Wish me luck on my quest to git gud.

However, any advice for a ds2 solo setup? Just VIT/END/STR and two handed stuff? Is pyromancy as broken in DS2 as it is in DS1? I haven't played DS2 in years.

Dex is not that useful unless you really want to use some Dex weapons or take advantage of poison/bleed, otherwise Str gives you twice the bang for your buck in terms of damage scaling. Also helps that you don't fat-roll until 70% encumbrance so you can pack on more weapons/armor than in DaS1.

Pyromancy isn't as broken as in DaS1 since all magic scales from your respective elemental bonuses, so you'll need to put points into Int/Faith to get bonus fire damage on your spells (as well as everything else). Dark is pretty damn fun to use since not a lot of stuff has resistance to it.

And don't forget to level Adaptability, otherwise your rolls won't do shit. Remember that chugging and item use isn't anywhere near as fast in DaS2 as it is in DaS1 or DaS3, it can actually be punished.

They're still good for the purpose of having a ranged weapon for quality build, just not as OP as they were back when dual wield was a thing. Slow as fuck to reload and takes up stamina iirc but does decent damage and punishes estus.

>>151437714
Well, I renamed the DINPUT for dsfix, which is supposed to tell me if it's a problem with the actual game instead of dsfix, and apparently it's a problem with the game itself. I've verified the game files multiple times and nothing has changed, so I'm pretty much ready to wash my hands of it. Don't know what else to do.
>>
>>151429776
They stop using Pharros contraptions almost entirely about midway through the game and you'll end up with way more than you could ever use, so don't worry too much about them.

There are exactly enough fragrant branches to unlock every statue in the game, but not all of them are easy to find. It's a good idea to be judicious about how you use them earlygame. There's one branch near the end of the game that's farmable via ascetics if you need more and can't find one of the more hidden ones.

But yes, the game will troll you and try to make you waste branches and stones on worthless shit. At the same time, some of them will unlock shortcuts, bonfires, hidden areas, bossfights and even NPCs.

With Branches, any statue that's blocking a path or a door is generally worth using. The only exception is one lone statue standing in the middle of nowhere in Shaded Ruins that drops a key to a very important NPC. He's probably the single most important statue in the game besides Rosabeth
>>
>>151437872
Well, I can't get into the game to turn it off even if I wanted to, my friend. And I think that just causes some lag. I could try and turn it off in the .ini. Also, >>151437976 tells me it's a problem with the game and not dsfix. So, yeah.

no you cannot be have empty hands while holding something. Try it in real life too.
>>
>>151440206
Yeah, sometimes when you equip an item in a slot and you're barehanded you don't change items. So if you equip items in the two other slots than the one you're currently on, you remain barehanded. That's the only way. There's also no way to sheath.

Aldritch's boss fight is COMPLETELY random. If he doesn't spam the arrow rain, he's basically cannon fodder. If he does spam the arrow rain, he's unkillable. The difficulty of the fight depends on how many times he uses arrow rain, which is completely up to RNGesus.

Depends.
Washingpole is best as a quality weapon. and you only invest in luck and hollow infuse it if str and dex are basically already maxed out.
Uchi is straight dex + luck. Hollow that think immediately.
Black Blade is just like the washingpole

Chaosblade is pure dex. Cannot be infused.

Bloodlust and Darkdrift are pure shit, and also uninfusable.

Yeah, DaS3 doesn't really have a legendary hero figure with any real impact on gameplay or lore in the same way that Artorias' legend drove the player to seek out his ring as part of a main-line quest, or the way that Ludwig's legacy gave the player the optional pve easymode weapon.

I remember it being announced by a bunch of news outlets to have been scheduled for release by now/ very soon, but we're likely going to have to wait until TGS in September for any news at all, unless From makes an announcement themselves.

>>151448660
Well I meant more that Both Artoias and Ludwig are built up as these noble icons whose presence can be felt in multiple places and layers of game experience and have a meaningful impact on the way that the player experiences the game. They have presence -it's nigh impossible even for a casual to complete the respective games and not know the name, so that when you cross that boss fog gate and see the name over the healthbar, there's an immediate "it's him!" moment.

And then the fact that both of them are subverted tragically and the player expectations played with in the way that the buildup, the legacy, totally misrepresents the reality has a sort of immediate impact.

DaS3 has no character who's built up to be subverted in the same way. There's almost no name in DaS3 where if it appeared as a both health bar, the average player would have that same "oh shit, it's them!" moment. Even of the more substantial characters who we don't already encounter/murder, there's nobody who's story or background could be inverted in a compelling way.

That's why I suppose the Queen of Lothric is the only real candidate. She's one of the only characters with enough presence to really be recognizable. She's mentioned in several items, many of which are on rotation in loading screens, is connected to the Untended Graves, which itself is a big lorebomb and one that most people encounter fairly organically, and, I mean, it's pretty natural to assume that if there's a King, and trio of dysfunctional Princes, their must be a Queen somewhere.
>>
Hey /dsg/, I've got two questions about summoning. I've just recently started laying down my sign in DaS3 and I love helping people with bosses.

1. Do you have to be in the area of the boss where you've put your sign in order to be summoned?

2. Can you be summoned for a boss you've already beaten in your world?

Thanks guys. Appreciate it
>>
>>151449483
I do think that, given 3's fanservice, it'd be something for those who'd played DaS 1 instead (maybe Gwynervere if she's the Queen)
Honestly, I'm just waiting for the Darkstalker Kaathe, the primordial serpent name to appear for me to lose it
>>
>>151449483

That's a pretty convincing argument. I'll look forward to either fighting the Queen or fighting an asspull.

Only autistic internet lorefags known the name Gertrude. 90% of blind playthroughs miss her miracle and chime because they're tucked away in corners of an area people just sprint through. Even when they pick them up, fucking nobody plays a faith build so they don't even bother reading the descriptions.

If "The Angels" were a dlc boss, or something else directly referencing them, most players would pick up on it because Winged Knights make their presence pretty blatant.

I guess it's probably easiest to explain it this way:
Artorias is mentioned in item descriptions, but even if you're the kind of player that never, ever reads item descriptions, you'll still not only know the name Artorias, but even have a pretty good idea of who he is/what his significance is. You're forced to acknowledge the name because it's the Covenant of Artorias you have to find and use to fight the 4kings. Ingward tells you of the Knight Artorias who traversed the abyss, Alvina tells you that his grave is in Darkroot, etc. You can't miss him

Similarly, Gehrman tells you about the relationship between the hunters and the church and tell you to go to their workshop to pick something up. There, you find LUDWIG'S HOLY BLADE. Even without ever reading a single item description, Ludwig's boss fight has impact for the player.

The design intention is that players would be mainly physical builds and invest a few points in faith early on for healing spells or some low-cost buff like ToD or caressing tears, and then would gradually transition into a more faith-heavy build over time as they gradually unlock offensive options, and either end the game as a dex/fth or str/fth hybrid.

It's really just like DaS1, where a faith build could go through the whole damn game without offensive miracles at all, and basically only have something other than a heal worth casting when they got SLB/DMB

I think the problem with 3 is that they overdid it with these low-investment utility spells. Most of the best ones are so low-investment that most people use them with no investment whatsoever, and they consequently also derive no benefit from faith either. Plus the primary incentive for low-level builds to invest into faith are the heals, but there's no reason to ever bother with healing miracles when you have so many goddamn estus flasks, holy shit. Players can have like 9 flasks by the time they hit Abyss Watchers, it's absurd.

Also, the fact that every miracle still casts with this long, clunky buff animation that looks like it's suited for an MMO and not a hack&slashy action game with more iframes than sense really puts people off. In DaS1, it wasn't the end of the world if you stopped for a moment to cast something but with how goddamn fast the pace of DaS3 is, bringing the flow of gameplay to a screeching halt so you can jingle keys in front of your face or rub a used tissue on your sword is just eye-rolling.

They should have taken the oppourtunity, while they were stealing so many design cues from bloodborne, to make spell-casted buffs function like resin bundles and cast quickly, on the go, but only be active for a few seconds at a time.

I want a NG+ patch that makes NG+ completely near pitch black and night time if you did darkcunt ending, can barely see 5 feet infront of you, and every second enemy has glowing red eyes and is black phantom teir.

It turns into like silent hill or something and you have to use a torch pretty much everywhere.

Also put more passive knights and npc enemies around the place hiding in the dark, like that fallen knight and bandit before the cathedral. Loads more of that.

The term "meta" can be kinda misleading.

What's popular never really changes from game to game; most regular folks are using the biggest weapons they can handle, so even in DS3 where greatweapons don't really have a lot of mechanical appeal, you'll still find tons of them at Pontiff's. If you're interested in the meta in terms of "what is the rock to the scissors that most people are carrying," then I can somewhat answer that.

If you mean meta in terms of what's considered to provide the most mechanical advantage, you're looking at straightswords, katanas, greatswords, halberds and maybe CGS; specifically I'd say

Lothric Knight Sword
Carthus Curved Sword
Hollowslayer GS
Burger King Sword
Lucerne
Red Hilted Halberd
Gundyr's Rapestick
Onikiri and Ubadachi
Balanced Pole
GodI'mSoHard Twinswords
Gargoyle Flamespear
Bestoc

And that's pretty much it I think, unless someone thinks of one I've forgotten. I think the weapon classes that are good are pretty apparent, and the ones listed here just happen to be the most advantageous in their classes due to a mixture of moveset, weapon art and length.

You'll also notice that they're all either quality weapons or not hurt at all by being used on a quality build.

Did anyone else feel as though Aldrich as built up way more than any other part of the game?

Did anyone else feel like Aldrich was the last boss?

I felt that everything in the game built up to him at that point (Anri's quest, all the Sullivan stuff essentially serving him, all the zones seem to be leading up to him with the Evangelists in the Undead Settlement, the Deacons in the Cathedral of the Deep, and, ultimately, Sullivan and his cadre in Irithyll). It felt as though the entire game was building towards the fight with Aldrich. Does anyone else feel this way?

>>151467920
I see what you mean. he is very hyped isnt he.

he also has an entire stage dedicated to him. The Cathedral of the Deep is his stomping grounds. And yet he's in Anor Londo, which is also his new stomping grounds. I dont think we see any other lord have such a thing. You need to get a specific key item from Cathedral to get into irithyl, as if it was some special place, and yet, irithyl and anor londo are just another stage with little significance outside of the archboss being one of the lords

Yeah, he was the one I was looking forward to the most after listening to Hawkwood talk about him. Half "that sounds spooky as fuck" and half "I'm going to enjoy slaughtering such an evil pile of goo."

Was somewhat disappointed with Aldrich himself, though, since it's mostly Dark Sun Gwyndolin 2.0; I Learned Other Branches of Magic Edition. I wanted a goo monster.

The more "what could've been" shit I see, the more I feel like DS3 was a jip for my money. Like, either Miyazaki half assed it so hard that he thinks it'll sell anyways or the team screwed up everything when the tried to make it ambitious and in the end, had to redo everything all over to catch up with the deadline.

>>151467920
I think everything about Aldrich and the Cathedral of the Deep is easily some of the best parts of the game, and I feel one of the instances where using material from past games works. Between the four lords, he's the one who has the most build up while having enough original lore to him. For a while he felt like this story's Gwyn or Vendrick, this huge important figure to the game's story where meeting him would mean something.

But in the end he's no more important than any of the other lords. He's just merely treated as a stepping stone to finishing the game, which kind of disappointing, because as I said, this game doesn't really have its own Gwyn or Vendrick, and Aldrich could have filled that roll.

Would anyone be up for helping me move items from one character to another? I'd figure you could backup your save and have the items to keep as well, and there are +2 rings in it for you. Pass is Thanks, and I'm at the Undead Settlement bonfire (I can either put down a purple sign or summon you, whichever).

Dragonslayer's Axe is what I'm looking to transfer, as well as a Simple Buckler, although I'm a cheap piece of crap and was planning on moving my Ring of Favor+2 and Prisoner's Chain over as well. In addition I usually like to bring over some cool armor if I can, so I was planning on transferring my outrider armor.

Thanks for the offer, I don't want to hold you up if its a hassle.

I've given myself literally every (obtainable)weapon/item on fresh characters and haven't gotten any penalties.

All their characters were named Abysswatcher, and it's too late to check who they were on my recently players since I invaded some people after. I wish I'd thought to check.

Just started a new game on DS3.

Started Knight and plan on going quality.

I'm tired of the long sword and the broad sword.

What are some decent early game weapons to focus on?

@FC GOERS

I'm done hosting, sorry to people who just got in

More importantly should I be the bigger man and make sure my car is not blocking the driveway after my neighbors have been taking my spot for the past month? Or should I say fuck it and leave it there for them to figure out in the morning?
>>
>>151472482
Gundyr's Halberd is pretty much a pure strength weapon. It's a glaive, which means it's pretty much just mindless cancer with a cool WA
>>
>>151472482

Gundyr's Halberd is fun and very viable in PvP. It's one of the few weapons though that works better on a dedicated STR build then Quality however if you go for 60 STR
>>
>>151472482
its extremely fun and does insane damage

plus the WA catches people very often and is a knockdown too and aimable

Dark sword isn't until just before legion boiz where they are fighting goatmen right? I'm drunk and forgetting what they are really called.

Claymore is hidden behind the first dragon like in Dark Souls 1 right?

Why are the NPC invaders in Iron Keep super resistant to fire? Im doing a tiny fraction of the damage I normally would.
