The lore on Gundyr is pretty great, he's basically not even a real antagonist, he's basically what could've been the protagonist, but he gave up and decided that he should just smash noobs forever. Essentially, he's one of those guys who stayed to PvP instead of finishing the game.

>>151522656
It's the best tutorial boss of the series, it took From five games to understand how to do it.
DeS and DaS1 were shit mandatory bosses
In DaS2 you had the choice between two rather easy bosses that were kind of unintersting
In BB you had the choice between two incredibly hard bosses for newcomers, bosses so frustrating that a lot of people new to the series just gave up at this point.

Gundyr in the other hand is the perfect balance between challenging and fair, is enjoyable while also allowing the new guy to progress trough a fair amount of get gut early.
>>
>>151523887
2 has a few more optional first bosses. Not like any of them but pursuer is cool, but just saying it.
>>
>>151523887
>DeS and DaS1 were shit mandatory bosses
I wouldn't call Vanguard Mandatory or Asylum Demon shit.
Asylum was actually good for teaching new players mechanics like drop attacks and running away.
>>
>>151523637
It's hard to call it "one of" when wast majority of weaponry in base game were at least as good with the exception of kirkhammer and steak driver maybe.

>>151523887
Gundyrs second pus of man stage is complete bullshit though. Just massive lingering hitboxes and what the fuck am I even looking at animations that kill you in two hits.
>>
>>151523585
The only time I died to gundyr was my first playthrough. Even my subsequent deprived starting playthroughs I killed him first try. Club is ez mode against him too because he's weak to strike. It's just not as aparent as it was in dark souls 2.
>>
>>151520639
This can be interesting.
>>
>>151522656
He's the only real combat challenge int he tutorial.
All of the mooks are just dummies that you can test the attack, parry, block and dodge controls against, but you don't actually need to know how to do any of those things to progress through the tutorial. Gundyr is just a wall that exists to make sure the player has learned at least 1 or 2 of the game's basic controls, basically just "how do I dodge" and "how do I attack"

He's a bit of a pushover as far as tutorial bosses go. I mean, sure, the asylum demon had a big blindspot in his ass, but if you messed up he'd take of 3/4 of your HP in a single attack. Gundyr tickles by comparison.
>>
>>151523887
What's wrong with vanguard and asylum demon?
I agree though, Gundyr is the best.
>>
>>151524436
asylum is slow as shit though

gundyr especially pus form is relentless and you only have 2 estus

Yeah, but you can take 1/2 of his health by doing a single drop attack on him.

>>151524531
Vanguard is just here to kill you quick, that's not the base for a good design.
Asylum demon is just ... there you know, just a big mass of shit with 2/3 moves, nothing really happens during that fight.

I wouldn't call any of the DaS3 waifus cute, to be honest. From just forgot how to make faces, or they're using horrible textures that highlight all the issues in the face. It's probably why more people have fapped to a bird that wasn't even shown ingame than an actual character.

Because X is inherently different from Y because X does not have features that Y has, such as Z, and instead of trying to mimic or replace Z, X has gone on to abandon the idea altogether and pursue the improvement of features A and B, while Y still has Z as well as A and B.

LGK is a fairly okay midgame boss. It's not O&S, but it's a fairly solid boss with an interesting gimmick (the summons) and neat design. Too bad the hitboxes are shit, and so is the A.I.

The main reason LGK lacks impact is because he was used in the pre-release bullshots and doesn't live up to them at all.

Is there a single heavy weapon in ds2 that actually feel unique or they are all just recolors with different stats and generic movesets? Aside from FUGS which is more of a quality weapon thanks to retarded requirements.

LGK would be fine, or at least inoffensive, IF he was in a different place. He's the boss of Drangliec Castle, the place you've been looking at from the hub since 10 minutes into the game, the place the first two thirds of the game has been leading up to. He's in an awesome arena with this awesome hall leading to it, there's this incredibly climactic buildup leading up to him, he needs to be REALLY REALLY FUCKING GOOD. He needs to be one of the most memorable bosses of the game, like O&S or Pontif.
But he's not. He's just some big armor guy with a summon gimmick. He's not even lore important, he's just some training dummy. All this buildup and the boss is some random fuckwit who just happens to be hanging out in your way.
Hey, here's an idea. Stick LGK in the treasure room where the Dragontiders are. It'd fit, because he's more a valuable piece of equipment than a guy, so stick him with the rest of the loot. Then have the climactic, real boss be a Dragonrider actually riding a fucking dragon. Player gets what they missed in Heides, finally some payoff to all the dragons in the intro, and an exciting, open-air dragon battle at the top of a castle during a thunderstorm.

One of the reasons that Dark Souls 2 bosses except LGK didn't do anything for me was that because they weren't in the intro or built up in any way, they felt really distant and when they actually showed up in the game, they were unimpressive. I didn't feel any dread for the DS2 "big" bosses but I was sweating in fear of LGK kicking my shit in because I remembered that people had reported that he was really hard in the demo.

With DS1 and 3, I was expecting something out of the bosses in the intro (although Aldritch looked like retarded poo sludge). I was initially negatively predisposed against the Abyss Watchers due to their edgy design, but they ended up being the most fun fight out of the ones in the intro.

And they built up Aldritch a lot with Hawkwood and Anri.

Most stage hazards apply to invaders, even if the "hazard" itself comes from an enemy.

They count as basically a 3rd faction enemy that's hostile both to host side and pve side. You can actually lure the BK behind the illusory wall towards the pair of fireball Ghru and he'll clean the room for you.

I think Darkwraiths are the same way, actually.

They can actually bug through the fog wall on occasion and actually join the boss fight.

A single one of them can solo the first phase, but they get dumpstered by phase 2 because the fire buff does too much poise damage. It's pretty funny to watch, actually. Abyss watchers do all this anime bullshit that doesn't even make the Darkwraiths flinch and then get immediately interrupted and stunlocked by the Darkwraith. It's like watching DaS1 pvp.

Lothric Knight Long Spear does respectivable damage at 6+ quality and refined if you need a spear. Running attack/charge with bundle is good to pursue chuggers, it's long enough to harass with shield poke, 2h speeds up attacks and R2 can catch people from rolls. It's my new weaponfu and I recommend it to anyone who plan on using spears.

DS3 has actually very solid PvE. It feels very tight and rewarding. I just wish the world progression wasn't so fucking linear it actually hurts me to have so much potential destroyed by being afraid to commit to either Dark Souls 1 world design or Demon's Souls like design with linear "worlds" with expansive levels and as such it feels like a very halfhearted mix of both.

In my personal opinion all bonfires in levels after the first should be preceded by at least a miniboss, preferably a full one or an invader instead of treating bonfires as shortcut substitutes.

Well, at this point we can say it's just because it's the most primitive Souls title. I think anyone who played it when it was new loves it, but with all the enhancements and refinements since then it can be rough to go back to it. Item Burden alone will ruin it for a lot of people.

Have to say I had a similar experience going from BB to DS3 in terms of loss of refinement.

DeS, DaS1, and DaS2 had different ways you can open a playthrough and that really gave the game a lot of replay value. DaS3 is just meh. It's great for the first playthrough, because the path your on is orchestrated to be decent, but then when you go back and play the other game and find out that you can actually do things differently is great, but DaS3 doesn't have that. It's Linear, uninteresting, and I just get bored consistently.

You need 40 end because ultra weapons consume an absurd amount of stamina. They're also slow as fuck so you can't be greedy and actually have to time your attacks properly. Use Profaned instead of BKGS, it has a better 2H moveset and you don't have to farm to get it since it's a boss weapon. Use the zwei you can buy from greirat or use astora gs until you beat lightsaber pope and his SUTANDO

Depends on what you want. White/Sun signs don't appear if you beat the area boss and red pontiff don't necessarily appear until you're at minimum 70 SL+ with 6~10+ upgrades. Aldrich summons frequent around 40+ and weapon lv 4-6+. Pic related might be outdated but it works for me.

I wouldn't buy into that bullshit because there is always worse like tharjafag/silasfag from /feg/.

It's a generally reliable formula but keep in mind it considers Physical+Elemental damage instead of just one or another, so something like Dancer's Swords will have far higher AR then what they will effectively put out in damage.

>instead of giving a damage-per-second
DPS is largely meaningless in this game since moveset is far more important.

AR is the raw damage of your weapon before defense is accounted for. Like >>151544468 said, in the case of weapons with split damage (2 or more damage types), it just adds them together to get the total value. This is inaccurate because each damage type gets reduced by the corresponding defense. Thus split damage weapons deal a lot less damage then their AR suggests, because the damage is getting reduced by 2 different defense types.
>>
>>151544773

Pretty much. Also keep in mind that AR doesn't account for the specific type of physical/elemental damage you are doing and in doing so bonuses gained through things like the counter hits with thrusting attacks or spell catalyst boosts from rings. Though the general formula of 'high AR=more damage' is generally true for non-split damage weapons 99% of the time.

>subpar spell, useless ring and subpar shields are the only 30 drop hard rewards

It's a good design.
>>
>>151544236
DPS is mostly meaningless in a game like this since most targets die in 2-3 attacks and bosses rarely allow you to hit them more than once or twice between attacks.

Also note that, unlike DaS1 and 2, weapon classes don't have distinct attack modifiers.

What that means is that a greatsword with 300 AR will do exactly the same damage per R1 as a straightsword with 300 AR, and exactly the same as a dagger with 300 AR and so on.In other words, AR is a very reliably indicator of exactly how much damage an attack will do, which is generally somewhere around 90% of the listed AR minus enemy defenses.
>>

There's really only 2 rewards that are actually worthwhile and one of them is locked behind 10 ears.

>>151544236
It's the total number of AR the weapon has so that includes all types of damage it has like >>151544468 said
But damage output is reduced by armor reduction of the person you're attacking. If your weapon does 2 or more types of damage, both will be reduced by their respective resistance and added together as a result (LKGS does lightning and physical which is two separate damages that are reduced twice and may be lower than a AGS that does physical damage and only gets reduced once)

Weapons vs armor is reduced by percentage. Weapons that do one type > Weapons that have split damage.

Rarely does a weapon with two types do more because of resin/weapon buffs that increases a damage type's AR which means a gold pine resin lothric knight great sword can do more damage than a astora greatsword.

tl;dr Element+Physical buffed with same element resin/Weapon buff >> Single type weapon >> Two damage type weapon

I think that's more of a mistake in balancing faith. Spears were supposed to belong range and stake a short range spell, but with how much damage they lose, faith in general is simply messed up and changing how sunbros work wouldn't make it any better.

Ears are easy enough to get if you only want 10, you get 2 for every NG and if you stay at certain levels you get okay summon times. Got the ring on all four of my characters and would likely care about getting it on my fifth if they weren't for fucking around.

>What? You mean stuff like standard, slash, thrust and strike?
In Dark Souls 1 and 2, each weapon class had a universal attack modifier on their basic attacks.

So for example if you attacked with the R1 of a curved sword, maybe it had a 1.05 modifier meaning that it would take your AR (lets say it's 200 just for easy math) and multiply it by 1.05 to get the raw damage that your weapon would apply to enemy defenses, in this case 210. Each weapon class had their own distinct modifiers, generally higher on small weapons with low AR, and lower on big weapons with lots of AR. What this meant was that certain weapons benefited much more from an increase of 1 or 2 AR than others.

Ultra weapons, for example, generally had the lowest modifiers, but high natural AR. Since the damage return per each single point of AR was relatively small, there wasn't much need to min-max damage stats on ultra weapons, and you could focus your stats around stamina, HP and equip load to offset the weight and cost of your weapon with a minimal impact on damage.

In dark souls 3, all weapons across all classes have a universal modifier that converts AR into damage, so 1 point of AR on an ultra is worth exactly the same amount of effective damage as 1 point of AR on a dagger.

Yeah I never understood this. Flame weapon doesn't make the weapon itself glow fucking orange, it just adds flames and thus is the best looking buff.
Darkmoon just adds purple sparkles. Yet, Dark Weapon and others make it turn into fruitpops.

>>151547165
>No, the infusions being useless because of the stacked defense.
They're not useless. They have higher total AR to compensate for it. If you're investing in Faith/Int for spells already, then they'll do more damage than raw/normal/whatever.

The only problem is that weapon buffs don't work on infused weapons, thus forcing you to use a raw weapon or invest in Str/Dex to make buffs worth using.

They have the neon glow to make the buff more readable for your opponent. The colour coding makes it easy to identify them at a glance, regardless of map conditions or video settings.

They actually changed Blessed Weapon's buff colour to pure white instead of that awful neon teal in the same patch that buffed Wolnir's Sword, but then they reverted it in the teadrop hotfix, probably by accident.

Still, these fucking buff effects were one of the worst changes DaS 2 made and should have never came back.

Yes, but why is DaS3 inconsistent? Like, some of the buffs (flame, bleed, darkmoon) apply only cool particles and leave the weapon uncoloured and unfaggy.

Infact, the Witches Lockes during it's weapon art does indeed make the weapon glow orange and faggy, unlike flame weapon, but this effect is also disabled via untrue ring.

I don't get it.

You have to use buffs with fast aggressive weapons basically to make spite kiting less oppressive. Straight swords, curved swords, katana, etc.

But you are always depending on the good nature of your opponent to not use duel charms.

He actually mentioned directly in a BB interview that he doesn't concern himself directly with balance outside of fundamental things like getting the "feel" of a weapon right (eg. making sure the animation and speed of a swing conveys the right amount of weight). He claimed that they have a special team within the studio who are specialized in designing the multiplayer interactions in the game and balancing weapon/player power for both pve and pvp. He basically just said he puts his faith in that team and prefers not to concern himself directly with balance or multiplayer design.

I hate that the Carthus Sword is so meta because it's honestly fucking gorgeous looking. It's just the perfect size and shape for a 1H weapon to pair with a shield, and the engravings and textures on it are just perfect.

It costs a lot of stamina, which is something to be aware of in pve, but the damage is massive, the DPS is crazy high due to its speed, and it has innate bleed. Slap a carthus rouge on it to steamroll everything.

It's a quality weapon.
You can go refined for standard 40/40 or 27/40 stats.
If you have levels to spare, its damage is highest with hollow infusion and 40/40/30 luck (and a hollow offhand for a total of +10 bonus luck), but the damage increase for those extra 20 levels of luck is very inefficient if your vigor/end aren't softcapped.

Is there any way to call another invader into a host's world as an invader?

Wish reds could use the barney signs in their world.

It'd only be fair. Even without fingers a host can have himself, two whites/golds and two blues(i think).

How would you react?
>>
>>151558976
A berserker is a death seeker that's why they didn't wear huge armors. They don't care if they die as long as they kill things.

When I think of a character that would wield a UGS the thing that comes to mind are Vikings and berserkers who don't care about dying in battle and only care about hitting things with their huge weapon.

I think that you think that death seeker means they go looking for things to kill and bring death but it's actually someone looking to be killed in a death battle.

>>151559716

That's just because From tends not to force perception on the player. Any other set of devs would've had a cinematic at that point with a bunch of low angles and fancy flourishes to really play up how intimidating and awesome the boss they made is; they might even have him transform his weapon in the cinematic, spoiling that small aspect of the fight to make sure you see the transformation clearly.

From doesn't do that with Souls games, though, they like to understate, so you have to draw the meaning of it out like that poster did. You have to read item descriptions, listen to NPC dialogue and use some reasoning to figure out the exact import of the Kiln, and you're left to discover the full extent of who the boss really is over the course of the boss fight rather than having it fed to you. And if you didn't play DS1, you're left to just not understand it completely, and From appears not to mind that.

There are cinematics in the game for much less important boss fights or interactions such as Patches screwing you over in the Cathedral, so I think you have to applaud the kind of devs who have enough restraint to decide that the intro for the final boss should be nothing more than him standing up, ripping his blade from the ground, and running at you.

This is why you can't trust wikipedia for anything serious. I remember reading on wikipedia that the katana is the best cutting sword because it is fabricated with a forging technique so advanced that to this day we can't replicate.... which by now everyone knows it's simply not true.

>The Viking Age is the period A.D. from late 8th century to mid 11th century in European history, especially Northern European and Scandinavian history, following the Germanic Iron Age. It is the period of history when Scandinavian Norsemen explored Europe by its seas and rivers for trade, raids and conquest.

>In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery.

It was way worse with vikings though.

On the other hand, women were respected in Norse society and had great freedom, especially when compared to other European societies of that era. They managed the finances of the family. They ran the farm in their husband's absence. In widowhood, they could be rich and important landowners. The law protected women from a wide range of unwanted attention. Grágás (K 155) lists penalties for offences ranging from kissing to intercourse.

No other society gave this much "privilege" to women back then.

Well, DS1 Falchion, Gold Tracer and Carthus Curved are all good for similar reasons; they're fast and swing in a broad arc in front of the player. In addition, GT and CCS shared bleed build, while DS1 Falchion and CCS share buffability.

Hm, come to think of it, CCS is like everything good about those weapons from the first game combined, plus better scaling components.

Anyway, I think we have to look at it this way; these weapons are good just because of the bare mechanics of PvP in Souls games. Horizontal attacks are more useful because vertical strikes can be sidestepped, but horizontal attacks can't be avoided or be made to miss by a corresponding move on the Z-axis since players can't move that way. Horizontal sweeps also allowed GT/Falchion to cancel backstabs regularly in DS1. And fast attacks are always better than slow, because the increased damage of slow attacks is either not applicable because they never hit or don't do enough more damage to be worth the extra difficulty of landing a hit. All those curved swords aren't great at reach, but they strongly dominate just about anything up close.

I never ended up playing much DeS top-end PvP, but wasn't the Kilij a similar phenomenon in that game?

Kilij was very good and a great choice overall, but it wasn't among the top of top tier. There's nothing wrong with picking it, but it's nowhere near as dominating as the others.

Now that you mention it, BB doesn't really have a trick weapon that fits nicely into the curved sword archtype, burial blade is slow and saif feels too different.

Why are crossbows better, anon

Because bows do not scale well off of dex and have poor tracking outside of weapon arts with certain types of arrows.

Why do dark arrows even do that anyway?
>>
>>151573374
they don't need to waste time preparing and aiming like bows do now, so you can just have it prepared on your left hand and fire a projectile immediately. the projectile is fast and has okay tracking and hurts a lot even with low tier x-bows.
>>
>>151573523
Something Something Pursuers.
>>
>>151573374
Not him, but being able to independently reload and fire means that you can pop off a shot with much less warning than a bow, and crossbows have much more flexible ammo types, not to mention a bit more of a punch.

Explosive bolts and Splintering bolts are both ace. Explosives hurts like a motherfucker AND have an AoE. Splintering bolts are a wall of flak that works wonders for finishing off ToD users, or dodgy fuckers at low health.

One faggot japanese gets a boner for highspeed combat and decides it'd be just perfect for Dark Souls.
He then gets another japenese faggot behind balancing, but, here's the catch, he's awful at balancing PvP and just lazily messes around with rolls
>>
>>151574519
Already there? ok
>>
>>151574260
The logic was that the game is much faster paced, and in the PvE, the roll costs feel fine, because enemies and bosses can constantly get on your ass with flurries of attacks, like with Pontiff.

Where it falls to pieces is PvP, but Fromsoft don't give much of a shit about PvP balance beyond fixing shit that's completely broken.
>>
>>151574738
Honestly, if Pontiff wasn't up against super rolls he'd be better, his super combo has a huge tell and if you just run backwards you dodge it. He'd become a great boss to teach spacing

So what now? You want help to clean the room?
