I still don't understand the logic behind Yorshka being a daughter of Gwyn, if she really was his daughter then she should have existed since long before DaS1 and should know a hell of a lot more about the rest of the world. I guess it's possible that she was hidden away and lived a secluded life for literally thousands of years, but it seems more probable that she was adopted or something.
>>
>>152133546
she might have been told she was a daughter of gwyn from gwyndolin or sulyvahn
>>
>>152133546

The Yorshka's Chime description pretty much says she was found and adopted by Gwyndolin as part of the family, I doubt she or Gwyn have actually met each other even.

im doing low level invasions and everyone as least has a some phantom, or the way of the blue covenant

some pretty cool wizard let me fight them alone since he had the covenant active and i ended up with four tongues, thought she seemed pretty new at the game, at the end i decided to black crystal out instead of fighting her

but most of the fights are 2 vs 1 at best
if you invade a lot you get used to it, however being a mad phantom helps since you get info of how many phantoms are on the map without having to find them yourself

What are some tricks and dumb shit i can do while invading to mess with the host? This is for sl30 and a quality build, so no magic.

I'm trying to think how i can psych out a host with dropped items. Are people still paranoid about hacked items?

What about hiding places? Hiding from the host and jumping out when they forget about me, or attacking them a few times then disappearing.

I'm switching between the zwei and the greatsword, both are useful for ganks and backstabs.

People who say DS on 4chan instead of DeS/DaS are terrible and gives insight to who you're talking to.

Honestly I can't make heads or tails of that sentence but I take it to mean that getting guard broken with a medium shield now leaves you vulnerable longer, which I'd say counts as a nerf.

Mark my words you shitters and quitters. I called it before anyone else here. Yet I was harshly ridiculed for my unorthodox theories, referred to as a "tinfoil wearing loon" and ordered to leave immediately. Come 24th August when the DLC is going to be revealed you naysayers shall downcast your head in shame. Not one to say "I told you so!" but you will know it in your hearts that I was right all along and that you lads should have listened to me when you had the chance.

We will be visiting Londor/New Londo in the upcoming DLC, dropping in the first weeks of September. Kaathe will finally make his grand reappearance and this shall be his design. Get /hype/ and screencap this post if you must.

Ok /dsg/ here is my report about sl15 PVP at lothric wall (weapon+2)

My main goal was to farm the bones for the mound makers in a more convenient way than the 1v4 gank squad at higher level.

So here are the main advantages of sl15 pvp
>Almost always 1v2
>people can't chug estus 20 times in a row
>fights are quick
>no magic shitter, no meta tryhard
>no blue sentinel
>It gaves me a feeling of DS1 pvp

Now for the cons
>Some fucking pussy host shit themselves so hard, that they summon their friend who are SL50 at least and they hide behind him. So I was with my shitty weapon+2 and and 15 vigor versus some fucker with UGS and every kind of magic. The best is to just black crystal out when this happens.

So I had a very fun times invading the lothric wall, i would recomend everyone to do the same.
Now i have to complete the farron covenant and the bleu sentinel, but I'm very underleveled , I dont know if i'll level up or not. Any advices?

The thing is the pursuer is BEEFY, so gundyr or morne would be the best.
Lothric helmet is also very good but it's way shinier than rest of the armour so I went with drakeblood instead to fit it more.
Maybe I should call it ''Old Pursuer'' just to take a jab at ds2 reuse of Ornstein and be a Pursuer fanboi.

I suppose I could scrap the whole pursuer invasion and just go for duels instead.

Thrusting sword, spear, hammer and straightsword powerstances are all useful. Any powerstance moveset than can be comboed into is good. Ulktra weapon powerstance is and always has been shit. You triple the stamina cost over regular R1s but only do ~30% more damage because they have a hard-coded damage ceiling on ultra weapons.

Is it proper etiquette to not be embered when you put down a red sign?

Those are shit outside of pve. Hammers in general are horrible in DS2's pvp, at least we got drang hammers in DS3 with their 1300 combos.

I don't get it, why would it be?

Sorry, I meant will the bowing duelist anuses get assblasted if I'm embered

>>152154760
Are you stupid?
>>
>>152154875
They can both be comboed into, which basically just means any R1 leads into almost twice as much damage as it would otherwise. Offhand hammer overwrites almost anything its compatible with so you can do things like axe+hammer and combo 1HR2 rollcatch into L1 for like 900 damage.

I'm guessing you've never actually used powerstance in pvp, since you don't seem to actually know what you're talking about.
>>
>>152153392
if you stay away from her and roll away, you can avoid second/third hits of some of her combos by just walking away, but you'll need a ranged weapon or a weapon with good reach if you want to punish her attacks after that (or you can sprint away/towards her all the time, that probably works too). i think the optimal strategy for her is to stay behind and slightly to the right and that limits the amount of attacks she can do to relatively slow ones - it's like with Pontiff, if you stay away and in front of him, he will do long combos, but if you're close and dodge to the right, he will often interrupt attacks after 2 hits and it limits his moveset so much that there's only one attack in phase 1 that you need to roll if you're doing everything right
>>
>>152154970
No, why would they?
They have access to the ember HP bonus just like you do. If they choose to not be embered because they're retarded or impoverished, that;s their problem.
>>
>>152154591
warped sword powerstance is great especially when paired with a shotel / estoc
dagger powerstance is great, lots of damage
bandit knife right hand + offhand curved sword has a nasty R1 L1 R1 L1 combo but uses lots of stamina
fist powerstance is actually top tier if you master rollpunches
smelter sword powerstance L2 is fast and oneshots people
ultra greatsword powerstance in general is just crazy
axe/hammer combos R1 into L1 for hefty damage and works with a right hand axe, straight sword, or craftsman hammer
lance powerstance hits like a truck, try it with 2x heide lances
powerstanced katanas nuke HP on counterhits


most of the powerstances are good really

Why do they have to make the NPC questlines so fucking esoteric? I shouldn't get fucked out of certain items for an entire playthrough for seemingly arbitrary shit like buying an armor set. I'm fucking seething at a playthrough getting ruined at the 20 hour mark. Fuck this autistic game.

If a single merchant getting killed "ruins a playthrough" for you especially since you can get their gear if you bring their ashes to the Shrine handmaid then I'd suggest you never touch Demon's Souls or Dark Souls 1.

Depends on what the content of the dlc ends up being.
If we actually do get that BELLFLAIL, I'll be going in with a strength build and mainly using the Cathedral Knight Greatsword and Lorian's GS until I get my glorious BELLFLAIL, which will then complete the remainder of the dlc for me.

Otherwise, I'll be going through on a stat-bloated quality build so that I can try out all of the non-caster loot I find and decide which weapons I actually like enough to incorporate into an actual build. I'll alternate between OWCS, Wolf Knight GS and Farron GS with this character so I sincerely hope they make good on some proper abyssal monsters to Abyss Watch.

And if the DLC ends up being a dissappointment or otherwise fails to deliver on any of the things I'm hoping for, I'll blow through it on my low-level luck twink with a rouged bandit's knife and cheese everything.

Firstly, this is a montage, meaning that his actual winrate against meta weapons is probaly shite. His wins have more to do with his opponent being bad, than him being gud Secondly, broken straight sword is still a straight sword, meaning that it is better than all ultragreat weapons in the game.

That much? He does 100 per swing, 400 on riposes.
He's just good at the game and even though broken straight sword is the worst weapon in the game (save for panting guardian schimitar and maiden's dagger) it's still a straight sword with the broadsword moveset.
>>152159446
In the description it says he won 22 out of 34, that's pretty good.
>>
>>152156843
I refuse to believe you because some of the requirements aren't made clear. The guy who is pretending to be a statute against a wall of statues is a good example. Literally how would you find that except with a guide or by complete accident?

>>152156985
>especially since you can get their gear if you bring their ashes to the Shrine handmaid
Not true with Greirat. You only get to buy what he would have returned with on his most recent pillaging journey. Which means if he dies in Irithyll (or prior), you are locked out of certain items.

The requirements for him to die in Irithyll seem to be either buying the onion set from Patches, or exhausting Siegward's dialogue in Irithyll. Now considering I needed the onion set for Siegward to even be in Irithyll, and considering I was trying to get Siegward in Irithyll so I can talk to him and continue his quest... The game is basically failing the Greirat questline because I advanced a separate questline which doesn't even really seem related. How Greirat pillaging a town should pertain to me buying armor that Patches ganked from Siegward, is beyond me.

>Demon's Souls or Dark Souls 1
Yes, the predecessors from last-gen (which I both completed) were equally flawed. Seems like they had plenty of time to get feedback from players and improve.

>That was Demons' Souls' marketing strategy.
That would be a great marketing strategy in the 90s when there was no internet.

And I really don't need help with the game, I must have beaten it ~6 or 7 times now, including NG++.

Because lunar power is the inborn godpower of Gwyndolin. It's not just magic, it's the thing that magic imitates. Moon powers are exclusive to Gwyndolin and those blessed by Gwyndolin's miracles. Hell, in DaS1 you couldn't even cast Darkmoon Blade unless you were in the covenant.

The only answer to cancer is stronger cancer. The benefit of being good with meta weapons is that you intimidate metashitters from pulling their metashit out against you. I can't tell you how many times I've seen somebody waiting in line at an FC stow their gotthard's after watching me cancer another gotthard's user before them. You too can be the chemo pontiff's deserves.

Because of the autosave system, if you force quit while it's saving your save could get corrupted.
It's the same as the "don't turn off the power to your system when this symbol is showing" warning other games have.

Probably Dark Souls 1. It;s the most punishing for new players, but also the most open-ended and expansive. Everybody's first playthrough of that game is fundamentally different from everybody else's because there's so many possible different paths that will take you through the game. It's a metroidvania where almost every coloured door can be bypassed by exploration and every area has multiple entrances and exits that lead into different areas and different paths of progression and different routes through required and optional content in different orders. Just be sure to read item descriptions, especially those of keys. The flavour text in DaS1 is very informative, and basically serves as your travel guide through an otherwise confusing and labyrinthine overworld.

They animated attacks in 3 in a really lazy way.

>>152164904
As I mentioned I think it had a lot to do with the area. From my experience the Carthus Catacombs has a lot of demand for helpers but the frequency of summon signs is low since it is considered as a depressing area which most people just want to get through as quickly as possible. Which means that the chances of a host summoning a purple are a lot higher. Since he doesn't really have a choice if he needs assistance. Try it sometime. Especially since Knight Slayer Tsorig is a confirmed invasion. Which gives provides you a great opportunity to betray the host for some good ole mischief.

The longsword isn't "God tier" in any of those games, since they usually have *some* thing that they're kinda weak-ish against.

>Demon's Souls
Admittedly, the Longsword was probably at it's best here since the upgrade system made it very flexible and there was nothing it was inherently BAD against.

Better pick for God-tier would probably be a Battle Axe upgraded along Crushing path or Sharp Kilij.

>Dark Souls
It's got pretty low AR and doesn't inflict bleed, doesn't have enough reach nor does it have infusions that would make up for it's low-ish AR.

I'd say the Claymore is the better pick for God-tier as it's got all the Longsword's strengths and better reach.

>Dark Souls II
Especially bad game for the Longsword since your main enemy is Big Dude in Armor that's resistant to standard attacks.

>Dark Souls III
No, curved swords absolutely obliterate PvE, especially ones with inherent bleed or ones slapped with Carthus Rouge. The Longsword just has too low of an AR to compete with any weapon capable of causing bleed.

The Longsword is never bad, but it's never really the *best* either.

The black firebombs let you murder Asylum Demon in the first encounter, which rewards you with his weapon, a mediocre strength-based Greathammer (also the earliest ultra you can get)

The witch`s ring allows you to speak with the Fair Lady. You can access all of her functions as an NPC without it, but her dialogue will all just be elipses. With the ring equipped, you get to hear her voice and actually get to see what she says, but that`s more or less just a lore easter egg.

Don't listen to guidefags. Master Key is a great starting item BECAUSE it allows you to accidentally and incidentally sequence-break. DaS1 is not designed to be a linear game, and the master key allows blind players to access more of that non-linearity without needing to spoil themselves to find the precise route or method. You can always tell if your relative strength is too low for an area you've entered by the damage you deal to the first mob you encounter, and backtracking from that point is never a long journey. If you find yourself trapped in a high-level area, it's because you deliberately chose to push onwards after acknowledging that the area was too strong for you, that's not the fault of the key and if you managed to get yourself in there, you can always get yourself back out.

The same exact AR as a Crushing Longsword with a worse moveset and no thrust damage. No.

Kilij has higher AR but almost everything but naked dreglings are super resistant to slash damage in Demon's and bleed does diddly.

Mediocre
Its AR is the second lowest in its class, just ahead of the AGS. It only barely beats the BKS, Wolf Knight GS and Hollowslayer in AR despite being a UGS.

It is incredibly light, weighing only 10 units, and has the lowest stamina cost of any ultra (also the only one that can perform its full WA at only 22 endurance and still have enough stamina to roll out). It also has a completely unique 2HR2 that's a great rollcatch with a lingering hitbox.

However, unlike the AGS, it lacks a broken move to compensate for its low AR so it's pretty much just the low-investment option for UGS. Greirat sells it after his first trip, which makes it the earliest UGS accessible in the main game.

Just to clarify, the second lowest is Cathedral Knight UGS, Zwei is 3rd lowest (difference is 10 AR on a quality build)

It was a horrible pile of dogshit alongside wast majority of other ultras.
"DS2 UGS were good" is a recent, post-DS2 thing fueled by nostalgia. They were considered to be an absolute garbage during the entire DS2 lifespan.
>>
>>152168030
AGS is great and available early. Low requirements and weight, great scaling and broken rolling attack that does ridiculous damage.

Propaned is the highest AR among the horizontal UGS and is probably the best UGS that doesn't rely on some gimmick to be effective.

Do you see where these things negate each other because I do

Yes, because not being able to combo 2 R1s means that your average damage output is much less than weapons who can, even if your single-hits are slightly stronger.

AGS is probably the best thing that happened to ultra weapons since DeS, really.

Greatsword was popular because it was a pve scrub weapon. It was one of the worst UGS for pvp.
IKUGS was strong but gimmicky. It relied on baiting trades and struggled vs passive players since it couldn't combo on non-trades.

FUGS was top-tier, but mainly for the blocking bugs that made it literally impossible to attack first against it. You basically had to rely entirely on BSfishing to beat a good FUGS player.

PUGS was shit after they nerfed the infinite. Even with the counter buff it was still just a downgrade to the LSS. LSS was excellent for its damage but the moveset sucked. It was mainly a crit-fishing weapon to abuse its comically high damage.

You're forgetting the Crypt Blacksword and King's UGS, which were collectively the two best UGS in the game. When people sing praises for DaS2 ultras, they're mainly talking about those 2 and the Drakekeeper's Greataxe. The fast, fully-tracking ans quick-recovering running attack and versatile moveset let them actually play aggressively and apply pressure, and all of them did significantly more damage per hit than DaS3 ultras while costing less stamina.

Zwei was also one of the best because it had enormous reach and extremely low stamina cost, and was the ultra that was least penalized by elemental infusion. You could dark infuse it and use it at its incredibly low base stats with all of your other points dumped into important shit like HP and endurance, and your zwei would still hit harder than most DaS3 ultras

Bellends get upgrade materials from victories.

What are you on about it was one of the best UGs in the game. Amazing moveset and speed, great damage, good range. What else you wanted from it?

>PUGS was shit after they nerfed the infinite. Even with the counter buff it was still just a downgrade to the LSS.
The PUGS could 3 hit stunlock at pointblank and had the best UGS moveset (same as LSS and FUGS). There's no deny it was an amazing weapon.

>Crypt Blacksword and King's UGS
While I do agree those were superior to other UGS, they were actually axes with a big sword model on top, so they don't count.
>>
>>152168972
I agree with >>152169068, the weapon is great and everything but it only shines because it has a broken rolling attack. The looks are subjective, I think Farron memesword is the best looking UGS, now if only it wasn't hot garbage in combat.....

As someone who used the Greatsword UGS in PvP because nooblet, I can tell you that it was trash against any competent player. Sure, it rekt people on the shitter bridge, but would get destroyed in the arena for two reasons :

1. if you've got any space to dodge, it's moveset makes it's attacks ridiculously easy to avoid.

2. Because it was so popular, PvP veterans learned how to counter it pretty easily.

>>152169742
It's hard to punish AGS rollspam because you can't reliably rollBS it and can't punish it of you're forced to roll. The reach + shockwave make it nearly impossible to whiffpunish unless you have a spear and you can't interrupt it because the HA begins instantly. Unless they empty their stamina, it's pretty much completely safe to spam.

It's easy to avoid, sure, but just avoiding it gets you nowhere. Even the finals of that tryhard tourney involved a dude abusing AGS rolling attacks and winning with it.

To be fair, most of those "counters" involved just backstep punishing R1 mashing and using backstep setup parries against the 1H moveset.

I used to streamsnipe arenafags with a fatrolling "newb" disguise and the number of people that had no idea how to deal with the Greatsword when the super basic parry and backstab setups didn't work was hilarious. I don't think it's a particularly good UGS, but people tend to underestimate how usable UGS actually were in pvp. Even the meta tryhards pretty regularly pulled out dark zweis to deal with axes.

Sometimes a bug causes you to be invisible to the guy that summoned you.

They won't even hear your carvings, or see prism stones you drop. You're just not there in their game.

They were good and bad,
The 2H moveset was retarded outside of the running attack (that was godlike) but the 1H moveset was amazing. Outside of the Curved Dragon GS, which had special 1HR1s, the 1H attacks of the curved GS were basically as fast as they are in DaS3. Even better, the 2nd R1 came out so fact you couldn't roll through both of them. You cad to roll out of range from the 1st or the 2nd would rollcatch you. It was the only weapon bigger than a straightsword that could lock down closerange with R1s, which was strong as hell.

3 has a better moveset, but also a less versatile one.

Yeah, where trading hits with a buffed rapier as an UGS user is usually not worth it.

DS2 has the worst balance of any souls games and some equipment can negate other builds entirely. But it's still fun to play it so they did something right at least.

What?! Are you sure you didn't get that reversed?

DaS1 Kumo was slow as fuck, bad 1H moveset and terrible and wonky hitboxes.
DaS2 Kumo was a parry monster, fast and accelerating moveset that changed timing depending on what you did previous, could easily catch rolls so fast a R1 would come after a running attack. It was a fast, relentless agressive weapon with great damage and range, nothing like the crap from DaS1.
DaS3 Kumo is better than the DaS1 one, but not as good as the DaS2.

I somewhat wish poise from DS1 was back but it'll probably lead to other problems like people bandwagon heavy armor small weapons like in DS2 which encourages more shitter techs like spam R1 and tank everything. Maybe poise will give heavy weapon' hyper armor become more effective or getting rid of the hyper armor and replacing it with perseverance effect (less incoming damage) while natural poise acts as hyper armor for all weapons.

Heavy weapons should have the advantages of unpunished big swings/thrusts and be countered by being outranged by magic or bows. Small weapons still have a chance so long as their rolling/running attack isn't spammed and chip away damage. But I'm sure this topic has been discussed to death, no one wins in these arguments and I unironically think DS2 was pretty close to the heavy armor/weapon balance because of guaranteed two hits and armor def making a difference.

>>152171129
Backstabs are the only thing that can be negated entirely be equipment. And if your entire playstyle is based around them, you should probably consider getting a knife irl and buffing it like you would buff alonne's sword/bloodlust.
Just like other souls games it has a shitload of balancing issues, but it's the only game in the series in which every single weapon (besides the ladle, which was only put in the game as a joke) is viable for PvP.

DaS 2 had balancing issues and I did admit that, but despite this fact, it STILL had the most viable weapons in the series. You could manage to beat a katana/rapier faggot with a different weapon class rather consistently if you were somewhat good. Meanwhile a passive Cancer Curved Sword is almost undefeatable. And don't even get me started on havel's set wearing backstab fishers that live on fucking mars.

I do. He's still boring because he's got a tiny, uninteresting moveset filled with blindspots and that's trivial to avoid. He doesn't become interesting until he's almost dead and starts throwing around surprises, but that's far too late to salvage the mediocre fight.

On the bright side, the wolf knight GS can punish a lot of his attacks with the arty jump and hit his head for like 1K damage.
>>
>>152172448
>100% physical block is fine

Yes it is because you're fighting at close range and can stagger them. Also. you didn't have to invest 30-40 points to attunement and another 40 to one stat so you could do no damage.

>You could manage to beat a katana/rapier faggot with a different weapon class rather consistently if you were somewhat good

Same as in every souls game. But when two small weapons, one of them the fastest in the game, outdamage huge ass swords and any form of sorcery can be completely negated by 1 piece of equipment, you are at a pretty big disadvantage most of the time.

My main gripe wasn't how retarded that was but how many of these shitters there were. Well over half my matches were and still are against the same build with some slight variations.

So if all weapons were viable for pvp, why is the playerbase mostly using those 2?

>a passive Cancer Curved Sword is almost undefeatable

Not any more than a katananigger was.. At least he can't block 100% of your damage with one shield.

Lothric hasn't linked the fire, he's the person from this era destined to be a lord.

The original idea was to revive 4 lords of cinder and sacrifice them to Lothric to give him enough power to fulfill his duty, but he declined and the lords fucked off. That's why the chair is for King Lothric, not the pussyprince we behead and put on it.

How? I'm at 40 Dex and have both of them Sharp-infused, and the damage is pretty much exactly the same. The only difference between them is that Ricard's has 100 Critical, while the regular Rapier has 130.
