The best ending is probably letting the fire go out so it can reignite at full strength after an age of rest.

Reigniting it proves how weak the flame has become, it will probably only give the world a hundred years of meager light before needing to be relit.

Age of Hollows is tied entirely to the Unkindled One staying alive, as well as turning humans into their truer form (which is gross.)

PvE is fun, but the game's netcode is so terrible that PvP is basically unplayable. At first I thought I'm just lagging, but after watching some videos on the internet, it seems that the game doesn't work properly for anyone.

Dear /dsg/,

I am sorry for ever shit-talking Dark Souls 2 in the past.

Dark Souls 3's PvP is a fucking trainwreck, while Dark Souls 2 has a functional duel arena and invasions that aren't imbalanced in favor of the host.

Combine this with the fact that Pyromancy and Magic (Hexes are dumb) in Dark Souls 2 are actually unique and fun to use, and this game is way better PvP wise.

I'll probably buy the DLC anyways like the sucker I am.

Sincerely, Anon.

I was originally writing out a big post comparing DaS3's and DaS2's PvP, but then I realized these posts could be bait.

On the off chance that you're just misinformed and you're serious, here's the simple answer:
In DaS2, drinking estus takes like 10 years, and doesn't heal as fast as DaS3 unless you drink 2-3 in one go. Lifegems also heal too slow without the host crushing a few.

Doing either of these gives the Invader enough time to hit you for two free hits. Provided that you're invading in the 2M-3M SM bracket at SL150 w/ all of your gear, Agape Ringed up, then there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to immediately kill the host when they go to estus.

One fun-ish idea would be to co-op as a team of Darkwraiths to gank as many Farron Watchdogs as possible but even then that's using the Darksword which is one of the most cancerous things in PvP.

What's so bad about Diablo 3 design? It's basically the same concept only more detailed.
>>
>>151838250
Pretty much this, lol.

Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, and Dark Souls 2 all have fun PvP because invasions actually work (yes, even Dark Souls 2 w/ the addition of the Agape Ring to freeze SM).

Dark Souls 3 is babby-fied for the western audience, most likely a direct order from Bamco to FromSoft.

It also explains a lot why it's the most popular souls game.

No joke weapons, no fun weapons, etc. All removed from the game in order to make it fun for dueling tryhards and rigged towards new players (hosts) in invasions.

It's the most popular Souls game because it's the newest and built up the audience through the other games and got a lot of normie pull due to marketing.

You use them pretty much the same way as you use any other ultra.
Their major problem, aside fro, being goddamn slow and having low reach, is that their charged R2 takes way too fucking long to wind up. It's the slowest normal attack in the game.

The best greathammer in the game is the Great Club. It has higher AR than everything but Smough's Hammer, the lowest weight in class and better reach than most of them while also having a unique R2 that's faster and stronger than the standard one.

If you're using a greathammer that isn't the greatclub, cease and switch to the great club. You'll notice the difference immediately.

The original max range of obscuring ring was lockon range. If you could lock on to somebody, they could see you. You were always visible while attempting CSS sniping, you were just sniping retards.

Demon's Souls had the most barebones weapon selection but it had scraping spear and stormruler that you could meme people with. Dark Souls 1 had arguably the best weapon selection because it was diverse without being full of unnecessary shit weapons.

Dark 3 could be fun, just give us more environments like Blighttown, Sen's or Tower of Latria where the Dragonslayer bow could be useful.

as a person who spent i dunno maybe 2k hours doing invasions in ds1 i can confirm that you're full of shit, there was an immense amount of weapons that only were viable at extremely low levels after which they turned into unnecessary trash that had no reason to ever exist, this ain't even different from ds3 which actually has way more actually usable weaponry across all levels

>>151839314
Did we play the same games?
Have you ever made a Necromancer and looked at your character in armor? Straight out of a metal album.
How about a Sorcerer?
Fucking Barbarian?
It was always like that. It's just more detailed now. Also, that aesthetic of simplistic armor is in Diablo 3. If the artstyle chafes you, you can transmog your armor into early game stuff.
Pic related. It's my level 70 Crusader.

Diablo 2 didn't even have unique sprites. Shit, the difference between a ordinary greatsword and The Patriarch was that the blade was red, and that was the tightest shit back in the day.
If they could have fit in D3 style equipment, they would've.

Also, enough, this is /dsg/.

Oh in that case two-hand and spam R2 at anything that moves.
The 2HR2 pancake is godlike, and will one-shot most enemies throughout the game

The 1H rolling attack is also super fast and is your go-to against active, hit&run style bosses where you're constantly forced to roll.

You need a fuckload of stamina to make greathammers work but the damage is definitely worth it. Embrace the pancake and it will guide you.

I have to agree with the guy here. I almost never fail in a DS2 invasion which boggled my mind when I took all the invasion features into account.

What saves hosts in 3 are the infinite amount of times they can roll and how fast healing is. Even though hosts in ds2 can double chug themselves into safety, that second it takes for the second chug to come in can fuck them up if you hit them. Also the rolling. DS3 is very noob friendly when it comes to stamina as people can just wear bloodring and keep rolling without recovery or need to worry about stamina. For that to work in DS2 you need to have a very specific cancerous metashitter build which most people don't as they like having fun.

If they nerfed rolls, improved stamina management and made estus slower, I wouldn't even look back at DS2 ever again.

You mean purge stones? Does restore your face and make hollowing go 0, that doesn't ruin the questline. What ruins the questline is getting rid of your dark sigils which allows you to hollow. Either way, there's no reason to get rid of them since you can always reverse hollowing and gain 5 luck from max hollowing.

I finally realized why invaders post level 80 never actually set up ambushes for hosts. Even if you by some ungodly chance manage to get a host that actually progresses through the level instead of sitting his ass near the bonfire waiting for the invader to magically show up, and you actually manage to get the drop on them, the host can simply double roll away with impunity, instantly heal again, and even pop a seed while he's at it, and there is nothing you can do because you have half their estus so even if you manage to force them to use 2 or 3 estuses for free, you'll almmost never oneshot them, and its better to just run in guns a blazing chucking undead hunter charms than to just sit back and wait for the true cancer to come out

>if dark souls became an open world game?
I don't think *completely open world* really fits with the Dark Souls level design. With games that have true open worlds, there's just too much fat in the levels that they rarely feel "tight" and well crafted, in Dark Souls, pretty much every inch feels like someone paid attention to it.

One of the things that I agreed a lot with in an article I read some time ago about Dark Souls' level design and combat is that the enemies are challenging in Souls due to the way they're used in context of the environments. And it makes total sense : enemies like the Black Knight in Undead Burg, the Lothric Knight in the little hallway in High Wall and the Red Eyed spear knight in Demon's Souls are very difficult opponents largely due to the way the combat arena limits your movement but theirs less and the trick to dealing with all 3 is luring them into terrain that's more favorable to you.

The combat encounters in the games rely heavily on the enemies using the environment to their advantage, to the point where the enemies feel more like the extension of the levels rather than being extremely deadly on their own.

I think open world design would simplify the environments and make the combat more bland as a result.

Continued :
I think Dark Souls shares imo some similarities with the STALKER games in terms of level design : the levels are connected to each other in an open-worldish fashion and work through a level hub, but they're not truly *open-world*. This means that both have fairly detailed environments that are clearly meant to have a "first time through"-direction that allows for interesting traps and sequences to be designed, but also allows players to backtrack in a way that makes sense and doesn't feel like backtracking in a totally linear game or one that has a lot of empty space and fills the areas with random filler combat. What's nice about Dark Souls 1 is that the environments all form up into a coherent whole despite having a lot of variety, I think Dark Souls 3 benefits from having the overworld too, but generally imo they've strayed too much into the Dark Souls 2 type of design where they neither have defined "levels" like Demon's Souls, but the world doesn't wrap together like Dark Souls 1 does, or the illusion of freedom of choosing your own path like Dark Souls 2 does, and that's a shame imo.

Additionally, while the progression is linear in both game series, players are expected to travel through a lot of the levels more than once, either to grind for equipment or for simple "side quests". This means that the levels have to be designed in a manner that makes them complex but compact enough that the game doesn't become an exercise in pointless tedium of running through long-ass levels.

I think the easy availability of warping ruined the sense of travel from Dark Souls 3 and 2, because there was no real feel of true adventure when the closest warp point is at most maybe a 3-4 minute jog away if that. It'd be better if the levels were designed as sets with warps at the ends and the beginning of them (such as the giant crow or the DS2 boat) or having secret warps that can take you from one place to another without teleport literally everywhere.

I think the STALKER games also had something resembling a Dark Souls system for warping in the form of guides that could be found in friendly camps and those could transport you into certain other hubs of the game.

Following example from that, I think that a future From non-Souls I.P could have something like warping being restricted to covenant allegiance.

On simple terms : belong to our covenant and accept the penalties and opportunities that come with it and you're allowed to use our warp points, otherwise gtfo.

That was a interest read and I'm not sure about STALKER since I didn't have the liberty or chance to play it but I definitely agree that games who advertise "open-world" as a good thing when in fact it's mostly filler, certainly is damnation to gameplay. DS1's 'open world' is great because even if you have to make a journey, it wasn't long enough to be a drag nor short enough to feel trivial but almost a precise length that creates it's own unique flavor wherever and whenever you decide to move around.

>I definitely agree that games who advertise "open-world" as a good thing when in fact it's mostly filler, certainly is damnation to gameplay.

Well, it depends on how the combat mechanics in the game itself are.

For example, in the newer Fallouts the A.I wouldn't probably benefit a whole lot of complex, hand-crafted environments and as such, the freedom of a filler wasteland (since the nature of Bethesda games is imo more player roleplay orientated as opposed to Dark Souls' progress orientated (basically if you're moving in the game world of Dark Souls, you're out to 'make progress' one way or another.

But, as far as the combat mechanics, how the flow of combat is designed, Dark Souls absolutely benefits from having controlled (but still kind of open-ended with a lot of routes) environments where it's easier to set up ambushes and to frame environments, both for the sake of scenery porn and giving the players a fair chance to see ambushes that lie ahead (for example, from the High Wall area where you can get a preview of the Winged Knight, you can also see the room with the Greataxe hollows patrolling near the Estus flask shard and the ambush that would pounce on you when you go unlock the elevator shortcut.

In Demon's / Dark Souls a lot of the combat relies on observation and making connections between past combat arenas and being able to reasonable see ambushes that lie ahead.

For example, if you see a bunch of palisades up ahead, that's more often than not going to signify that there's going to be enemies hiding behind them, also quite likely archers or ranged opponents of some sort. The imagery is pretty recognizable, and they drop hints like this quite often, so that players have reasonable expectation that there might be an ambush (like how they utilize the traps in Sen's Fortress : all traps can be foreseen if you use observation)

Caestus in left hand is essential. Can be used to parry, and you can hold Y/Triangle to two-hand it and use the WA (then press Y/Triangle to switch back to Dark Hand in your right hand).

Also, if you're fast enough and you have two Dark Hands, you can use the Caestus WA and then swap to Dark Hand and use its WA w/o being punished. Iron Skin is just bad on twinks, Caestus is better and uses like 300% less mana and you can move around while using it.

From also uses the environment very well for emphasis :

The very first "Big guy" you meet in Demon's / Dark / Dark 3 is usually also in a place that effectively communicates their power or frames the view so that they appear more imposing than they are :

Take for example the first Red Eyed knight from Demon's and the Black Knight from Dark.
Both are in an environment that emphasizes them since they're both in narrow corridors which makes them look bigger because they fill up the entire space. The space they're in also makes them a bitch to fight, since their weapons are effective in that space (The Demon's knight can easily dominate the narrow corridor with his spear and the Black Knight can swing his weapon through walls although I think that this is kinda unfair) and you can't easily just circle around them to do a backstab.

What's cool about Dark 3 is that they often use trash mobs in very effective combinations, like they have high power enemies like the Halberd zombie wailing on you, while a ranged opponent is shooting you from elevated ground and can stun you so that the "tanks" can get a shot in and the guy throwing Lloyd's Talismans is debuffing you and might force your retreat.

The patrols are also pretty clever since you can't always rely on the option to retreat (such as when taking out the jar guys at the Undead Settlement bridge) since you might get caught between two groups, but if you're fast enough, you might be able to do it without wasting Estus on the patrol.

This is clever combat encounter / scene design.

What's cool about Dark 3 is that they often use trash mobs in very effective combinations, like they have high power enemies like the Halberd zombie wailing on you, while a ranged opponent is shooting you from elevated ground and can stun you so that the "tanks" can get a shot in and the guy throwing Lloyd's Talismans is debuffing you and might force your retreat.

When did /dsg/ start unironically defending enemy gangbangs?

CCGS is so fucking slow that it's painful to use. Carthus shotel is pretty much identical but it does less damage so using it seems way less appealing. I try to throw in lots of spins and R2s so at least I'm not just spamming unbeatable R1s at people.

Pyromancies are mostly good. They should give a reason to use great combustion over black flame. Storms, sacred and profaned flame and all mists need buffs.

White dragon breath needs to be faster/better tracking (don't make it too close to black serpent). Pestilent mercury should be percentage HP (nerfed for PvE) and soul stream have a better lockdown (or maybe make some sorceries work with slumbering?)

WoG and scythe need speed or buffs, spears don't lose damage, gnaw has bigger duration/tracking and I don't even know what to do with pillars. Dead again works with any bodies now

Every buff/debuff from all classes needs to be stronger, grant full effects and last more time

>When did /dsg/ start unironically defending enemy gangbangs?

The core of the series' combat mechanics isn't fighting one on one, fighting groups and setups of multiple enemies has been the staple of Souls games :

1. Every individual enemy usually still is a potent threat that can't be ignored.
2. Groups which complement each others' strengths and cover each others' weaknesses used in context with level design and combat mechanics that allow players to overcome these obstacles using observation and methodical approach is imo what makes good Souls game PvE combat scenarios.

Still, I'm one person that represents the views of one person, I don't speak for all of /dsg/.

My problem with enemy gangbangs is when they overuse a single type of enemy too much or create clusterfucks where the enemies have an unnatural advantage due to level design being forgiving for them, but not for you (for example, the mobs can swing their weapons through walls in a tight space but you can't and the mobs can overlap each other and make like a fucking storm of blades)

For example : The dragonbutts in Lost Izalith are poor design because they're just a big mob of the same enemy that's not at all "hard" to fight, they just stomp you because there are so many of them.

Contrast this to the Undead Parish boar encounter where the Boar dominates the lower part of the section, while archers shoot at you from above. You can fight the boar but the archers will be peppering you from above. If you decide to go for the archers, you'll be kind of on a timer because the swordsmen from below will aggro, and if you're still dealing with the archers and the protective spearmen, you'll be engaged in a two-front battle. It's exciting, stimulating and strategic.

Definitely bad players, there's a lot of just bad users of any meta or FotM weapon thinking they can use it without actually reaching the very low skill ceiling of Dark Souls 3 pvp. Not to be a dick but against any actually good player using Carthus you would die if you were using a great weapon.

DS2's level design is such a clusterfuck they somehow allowed the same space to be occupied by two locations at once so you can drop prism stones in one area, they go back to the same spot in another area and see them floating in the air. Shame i don't have the webm, that shit was hilarious.

To be honest, the "angels" are probably just the Pilgrim Butterflies and the whole Angelic Faith thing was just Kaathe shilling again. Lothric's patron religion supports fire-linking, and one of its 3 pillars, the High Priestess, actively seeks to see the fire linked. It makes no sense for the angelic faith to be heretical if they were a Frampt front, since linking the fire was Frampt's schtick anyways.

It was about The Bearer of the Curse being the only one to buck the trend by succeeding where everyone had failed, and Aldia giving context to DaS's black and white way of doing things by proposing a third option.

Demons' Souls is by definition the most unfinished, and DaS either cut the DLC or shipped knowing that the game was missing a large chunk of content.

Ok, how exactly? Because they didn't have the time for the sixth archstone before the release? The game is still finished, all the levels that are in the game are finished, the story and different quest lines it has are finished.

Your claims sound pretty baffling to me and I think you simply don't understand the concept of "cut content".

>>151859907
Oh, no, you don't want to ascetic Majula until you've done the invasion there. It makes that invasion so much harder.

Nah, no downsides. In fact, theres a special armor you can buy from Maughlin on asceticed or NG+ Majula. Pretty useless, but its there.

You'll get an invasion item in an area past Drangleic Castle. You can use it on a Majula NPC to get a special Miracle, but the NPC's difficulty, which is already pretty annoying in NG, is governed by Majula's bonfire. It's just a healing Miracle though, so if you aren't going into Faith then it doesn't matter and you can ignore it.

>Fighting towards the chapel with the two red lothric knights and a very distinct Blue Lothric Knight who has his back 'exposed' that purposely draws you in to challenge him. Trying to get a free backstab was actually bait.

I thought he was a friendly NPC and I went to greet him.

And yeah, Dark Souls 3 is VERY good at that. I'll name some other examples :
>The Lothric UGS Knight you see when you open the Lothric castle portcullis
>The Cathedral Knight that walks into the room in the Cathedral of the Deep
>The Cathedral Knight that stands guard before the entrance to CKG

Also :
>>When you kill the pus on the roof and go down the ladder, you could spot the Winged Knight patrolling among what appears to be a battlefield. Then you to the bottom where it's riddled with headless knights while the Winged holds a giant halberd and you put 2 and 2 together, shit will not fly past him.

You can also hear his footsteps and the roof where you can hear him is set up so it piques your curiosity to go and check out what's making that noise down below.

Whatever complaints I may have about DS3, level and combat scenario design is definitely not one of them.

They really pulled all the experience from Demon's Souls / Dark 1/2 and BB to make a good game.

Post your retarded wishes for the DLCs:

I want a boss so hard, but so hard, that only a few people will be actually able to beat it. Like to fight him you have to go up a tower fighting against gauntlets of monsters. Summoning people makes every single mobs stronger. At the end of the gauntlet, on the top of the tower, you have to fight the boss which has 2 forms and a relentless, strong but fair moveset - like NK. Dying to the boss means you have to fight the whole tower again.

I thought that it'd be cool if we had like an NPC that would swordfight with another NPC for sparring purposes if they happened to be at the hub together at the same time. I wanted Majula to have that sort of stuff since Dark 2 didn't feel as much like a "mainline" Dark Souls game in retrospect.

Land an R1 at anywhere between point blank to halfway down your weapon's reach. Immediately follow with a fully charged R2, but turn 180 degrees so that the little "hit" when the sword touches the ground behind you hits them, and then flip back around for the actual hit.

You can practice on the drakeblood guy in archdragon peak until you have it down pat. Aiming the 2nd hit to actually combo off the R1 can be tricky until you get used to it.
>>
>>151863436
I'm kind of generally opposed to going full DUDE DIFFICULTY LMAO-design in Souls games, but I'd honestly like to see again a level where the environment itself is against the player like Sen's Fortress and the level has sections like the Anor Londo tightrope walking bullshit because it was memorable if annoying. Maybe not make the fall instant death, but make the bottom a pit with corrosive acid or toxic.

Also, utilize darkness and make the player able to light sconces like in Dark Souls 2, but you could also use fire arrows or fire attacks to set them on fire.

It has nothing to do on where you hit your opponent's hitbox.
Every greathammer combos R1s 1H and 2H. Great club can combo 2HR2->R1
two greataxes can combo 2HR1s, while all greataxes can combo 1HR1s.
UGS can all combo 1H and 2HR1s
FUGS and Cathedral can combo 2HR1 into 2HR2. BKGS can combo 2HR1 into charged 2HR2, but only at close range.

Ultras only fail to combo occasionally due to that stupid poise mechanic, which I assume is a bug.

When the mechanic is so important to the function of so many weapons, of course knowing how it functions is important. "Will I or will I not be staggered on my next hit?" That's a very important piece of information for a player to have when making decisions while playing the game. "Will this hit combo into a followup for more damage, or will it be instantly recoverable and allow my opponent to punish me with a high-damage critical if I attempt a followup?" is very important when the decision to press a button again is the difference between dealing 400 more damage or receiving 800 yourself.

They seem to have forgotten that an RPG in which stats are an important part of a player's ability to act requires there be clear feedback regarding the actual impact those stats have on gameplay.

Any distance. As long as the R1 didn't trigger a poise reset, the R2 will combo.

It costs a lot of stamina, though. I think you typically only add 100 or so extra damage over just doing an R1 followup, so it's not always worth the amount of stamina it takes.

I'm not the guy who complained about that twink. I just wanted to say what I think about twinks in general because despite loving the game their existence has always fucking disgusted me. Legit low level PvP is extremely fun, I tried it with friends, but it literally never happens because of twinking faggots.

No, because ember mode gives you +30% hp. That's an offline bonus, that incentivizes people to go human just to do an area normally, not for multiplayer, like DaS1.

He probably means that in DaS you go out of your way to get invaded and if you go human it's entirelly on you.
3 bought back DeS's retarded system of embering after a boss forcing you to kill yourself if you want to get rid of those people.
The game already vomits embers on my face, surely if I wanted to ember I'd use one of them.
Not to mention I had to kill myself after every boss in my low HP run

Body Form gave you your full HP compared to half, you could only be summoned/invade in Soul Form, and was only restored by killing bosses, this is legitimate

DaS Human is literally Multiplayer: On/Off. It's perfect.

DaS2 allowed you to opt out of invasions with an item, but that game had MUCH larger problems with multiplayer

DaS3 gives offline benefits to embering, which is silly design.

I can
>>
>>151874436
You could get your body back using an Ephemeral eye stone in Demon's.

DS3's system is perfect and disincentivizes getting killed by the 33% health loss but if you're too scared to risk being invaded just don't get embered or play offline.

DaS mechanic was stupid because there's no disincentive about getting Hollowed.
>>
>>151874350

Which ultimately had to be a detriment, the reasoning behind half the kicks in the teeth to invaders was probably "well they could invade a solo host at half health, gotta balance around that" even though nobody who went through the game like that was playing online.
>>
>>151874501
The risk is too big for the reward.

And no, +30% hp is huge and makes basically everyone that can afford embers an invasion target. This clearly isn't intended in the design, solo invasions are rare and invaders are nerfed to hell.

Some mysterious flame with some mysterious relation to the abyss that only burns human flesh but also burned down a city. It's the legacy of a certain person, caused by certain women and has a certain relation to a certain sin. Yhorm became a Lord of Cinder to put it to rest, but it appeared after he became a Lord of Cinder. It came from the sky despite the city being underground. It never goes out, but it most of it is gone.

It's a clusterfuck of contradiction and nonsense.

>>151875689
Here, let me clear things up for you:

-Profaned Flame is the result of mixing the Abyss with some other fire -- either Chaos or just a plain normal one

-Profaned Flame was meant as a curse. The fact that it only burns down human flesh is no accident, it was designed that way on purpose. It did not burn down the city, in fact the structures themselves are fine.

-the Profaned Flame was cast by the local cabal of witches, who were pissed off at the residents of the Castle for an as-of-yet unspecified reason

-Yhorm became a Lord of Cinder to stop the Profaned Flame. He failed.

-The Profaned Flame returned to the city after Yhorms failure and completely destroyed it. This implies that Yhorm had tried to take it away in his attempt to destroy it, probably to try dumping it in the First Flame (because burning in the first flame is your mandate as a LoC)

-nowhere does it say that "most of the Profaned Flame is gone"

You visit the profaned capital, the place that was burned down by the profaned flame, you can see what's left of the flame yourself. There's only a handful of gargoyles with torch-weapons carrying some of it, and a single vessel with it still burning.

Also, the structures are very clearly ruined, and a description specifically uses the wording "burned down" the capital.

it's in every Gargoyle's hammer, it's in Pontiff's sword, it's in you when you pick up the Profaned Flame pyro. It spreads like a virus, which is why it never dies.

Plus, I just looked through all of the items relating to the Profaned Flame, and it never says the language "burned down." The closest you get is the description "the Flame descended from the sky, and the city was consumed by fire, but it was said to have burnt naught but human flesh."

The latter, of course, just implies that the Flame covered the city, but it quite specifically states what did and did not get BTFO by it (the human flesh)
