DLC WHEN

>>152562870
Rude.

I have a pitifully shitty pc and i'm getting shit frames even in ds1. I'm talking about 20 fps average on good days. I've heard about dsfix and how it can improve performance. I don't care about 60s, if I can get stable >26 fps I'm golden. Can anyone help me configure the .ini? I don't know what half of what it mentions are. Any details you need about the computer's specs I can provide.

Fextralife wiki is actually relatively decent now, barring stuff like
>>152562557
>>152561702

That's not going to stop me poking fun at them though, although one fag said it pretty well :
Wikidot was the best because it had existed for such a long time and the Dark Souls wikidot articles were made by the same turboautists as the Demon's Souls wikidot wiki and that's what caused the higher standards.

Even with DS3, the fextralife people did have a better page, called "Hollow slave" and there's one guy from fextra in these threads who took note of some of the things that were off about the wiki such as redundant entries or incomplete articles.

What if we were just supposed to think the Age of Dragons was the beginning of it all, who is to say there wasn't an age of men/fire before that and now fuckers are turning into dragons again so the next age of dragons comes

>>152563782

>>152563845
Because dragon pussy 2 gud

>>152563782
Well, the Narrator is generally considered to be truthful.

But, really I think that the Pus of Man, and a few other things, are more likely to be the result of Oceiros's experiments with turning into dragons and the fact that he has a door to the Abyss in his little ritual room.

Jesus fuck, can someone tell me about what each upgrade path does in Das1?

What's the difference between magic anf enchanted?

What's the difference between divine and occult?

Is it worth it to upgrade to crystal?

Are elemental infusions useful? And is it okay to keep upgrading fire or should i switch to chaos asap?

I'm at huge skelly bro. and not getting any summon signs (not being summoned either). I'm on xbone, sl29 with a raw broad sword +4

>>152568271
magic has higher base damage, but worse scaling than enchanted
divine works well against skeletons, while occult kills silver/black knights easily
also, similiarly to magic/enchanted, divine has higher base damage but lower scaling

it's worth it to have a backup crystal weapon for invaders and difficult bossfight, but don't make your main weapon crystal. they break easily and can't be repaired

elemental infusions are good only if you have minimum stats for the weapon and keep levelling vitality and/or endurance instead of offensive stats

>>152568271
Enchanted has even higher INT scaling at the cost of other scaling.

They do differing damage to different types of enemy. I think Occult is strong against humans.

Crystal gives you a lot of damage but no repairs. Speedrunners love it.

Chaos is good if you have Humanity. Good for PvP addicts since you can always guarantee at least 10.

damn that was close
>>152568271
fire and chaos add non scaling fire damage and remove stat scalings. chaos scales with humanity so that it becomes better than fire at about 6-7 liquid humanity. before that fire is better
lightning is similar but with lightning damage instead of fire. no scaling
magic is shit and should never be used
enchanted is good for high int builds
divine is magic damage scaling from faith. extra effective against skellies of all types, keeps skeletons that reassemble to not do that (if they deliver the final blow)
occult similar to divine but more effective against god-kin
raw is shit, don't use it
crystal+5 is basically normal +18 but can't be repaired
i think that covers it

That's so that he wouldn't run out of the house to attack you before the planned ambush point, even if you tried to bait him out with something like throwing knives at the wall.

On the way to Darkroot Garden, there's a Soul of a Nameless Soldier or something, right across the gap from the Wolf Ring. It's behind a rock, but you can see it because the rock mesh is above the ground. Fromsoft did something very creative with its textures, making them fade as they approach the end of the model, so you wouldn't notice a strong cut between the end of the model and what the model is next to, but that means the very bottom of them is somewhat transparent.

Here's a very, very close up example that's actually kind of horrible at being an example.

I wish Lothric Castle wasn't such a fucking unoptimized mess. It's literally the best place to invade in the game with the cleric buffs and ridiculous mobs.

>>152573276
It's the best place for pussies, cheaters and meta tryhard retards to invade, sure. I always ash out my ember while there because invaders are specially annoying and cowards around the upper castle.

It's a real shame. It would be the perfect invader playground if DaS3 had been a good game and not a rushed, half-assed cash grab. Even the console versions have performance issues there.

True. That is so fucking bullshit I keep denying it is a thing.

>double my estus
Not necessarily, but at that point probably, but then again I still need estus to go through the level. The level doesn't beat itself the second the invader dies.

>seed
I refuse to use such retarded addition to the game. I wonder what Miyazaki was smoking when the thought this was a good idea.

>a blue can come at any time
Now you're just offending me for no reason.

Lothric Castle loads a completely massive and detailed area that includes most of the game world.

Then beyond THAT it has a gigantic area which is quite detailed and larger than most GTA games.
It took 40 minutes of noclipping to get to one of the far ends. It has three high res skyboxes.
It's all modeled. There is no LOD simplification.
There are desert areas that use special textures to give off a mirage.
There are areas with "forests" which are actually multiple layers of textures set upon each other with diffuse maps to give the illusion of ragged edges from far away.
There are mountain valleys, rising and falling mountain ridges that go on for 20 minutes.

Shit is ridiculous.

>>152574271
Also, that black buggy skybox? That's cutting off a huge amount of land. It's impossible to even see the gigantic area fully.

Nope. Divine deals magic damage, not some special holy type. Its special modifier deals 1.1x damage to skeletons and necromancers, so, only Catacombs and beyond.
>Demons are weak to Fire
Nope.

Actually ONLY Seath is weak to it. Everything else just takes normal damage.

Abyss monsters, stone golems and especially Manus are super resistant to magic.

Demons aren't weak to fire or divine.
Ornstein, Gwyn and Silver/Black Knights are weak to occult

Abyss and Seath shit is resistant to magic

It's only slightly weaker than the arbalest for being slightly lighter. The difference isn't enough to actually matter one way or the other, it's only like a 30AR difference at +10.

Ever since beating ds1 as a sl4 warrior I havent been able to implement casting whilst fighting. I feel like id win all my fights if I just had more hp and physical scaling instead of spells.

>>152575235
I don't actually think there's a single dragon in DaS1 aside from Seath that's actually weak to lightning.
Undead Dragons are not, Drakes are not (not even the Hellkite Drake on the bridge) and Kalameet explicitly resists it.

>>152575353
That's because you would.
In 1, the only casting type that mixed well with melee was pyromancy, and only because it took 0 stat investment for full damage and had fast, extremely useful melee spells.

In 2, you can technically be a spellblade with any kind of magic because infusions and viable split damage mean that investing enough caster scaling for spells to deal damage doesn't cripple your non-spell damage, and each casting school has at least a few pvp-viable spells that can be mixed in with melee to keep things interesting. DaS2 also had the only version of force in the series that had actual pvp application beyond edge-cheesing.

3 goes back to 1's shitty design but with the added "fuck you" of pyromancy now requiring a literal 60-point stat investment and sacrificing of 3 ring slots in order to function in pvp and buffs being so unrepentantly terrible that you NEED to have a heavy investment into scaling melee stats in order to have access to any viable melee damage, and also need to sink 30 points into attunement just to be able to cast your spells more than twice between blue sips.

Event: Reds vs Blues
Idea is simple: we all take low-level characters (eg. SL~20, +2 upgrade) to Lothric Castle.
Hosts equip WoB and pop dried fingers
Participants either invade or use the blue sentinel sign to be summoned. Red and Blue participants have it out in a seeded, no holds-barred guerrilla warfare covering the entire castle area

Because it's a high level area and the host is low-level, we don't have to worry about other, non-participants invading, and sentinels prioritize same area so participants will always be the first sentinels summoned. Anyone looking to participate can just use the dark hand to cheese dancer and reach the area easily.

Fire Surge, it's basically the pyromancy equivalent to a throwing knife and a great, fast poke in pvp
Black Flame because it's been buffed almost to DaS1 levels
Black Serpent has great tracking and a lingering hitxbox while being fast and safe to cast. If it staggers your target, it can true-combo into followup spells, including black flame in close range or vestiges at a distance.

And that's about it. There's tonnes of other spells but none of them are really worthwhile. If you're just doing pve, vestiges and chaos fire orb are your bread and butter because they're spammable braindead ranged nuking spells that kill everything before they get close, just like DaS1 sorcery

>>152577941
Dude. I don't think you understand

We had the Water Reserve FC announced a day before and I counted 7 unique posters minimum willing to attend

>>152577875
I don't know why anyone would bother actually fighting 2dog.

>>152577941

>>152578116
I don't blame that on them exactly.

anyone got the golem pvp build for das1? i remember rekking people with it at sl 36ish, hella fun

>>152578118
Kill them for RoF every play through so you can hand it out for free to noobshitters

And also because on NG+7 they give just under 80k souls if memory serves right

It's really sad, because Avelyn+9 with blood bolts will literally bleed the dogs in a single fucking burst, only takes four shots to kill them at ng+43

>>152578116
7 people is pretty high attendance for a shit-tier dying game like das3

>>152578118
Hell, all you need to cheese them is sprint to Ol' McDonnel and then quit out. It resets their aggro.

And you can just cheese their initial charge attack because they always start with it, and always travel the same distance. Just stand out of range and bop the nose when they land for a free riposte and 90% of their health done.

>>152578249
and they literally take 2 minutes to kill, even if you're being super cautious

Pontiff's, before the fogwall was moved back. You could get invaded in the small gap between the end of the Boss Arena and Outside. I got invaded before I could go back to the bonfire.

>>152578814
Shit, if I could host in catacombs I'd love to, but I'd have to plow through the game and make it back to abyss watchers. It'd probably take my slow ass like 3-4 hours

The spawns there are fucking wonderful just outside Abyss Watchers, so it'd be worth it imo..

>>152578814
untended would be sweet since it's an optional area

fuck no, throwing knife/firebomb spam would get old in 5 minutes

Your CE version might be conflicting or something. I don't even know what version was used back then.

>>152578970
im using 6.5 and 6.51 and neither table works. what version are y'all using?

>/dsg/ collector's edition general

>>152579125
I'm saying the tables were made for older versions and I don't know if they are backwards compatible.

>>152579184
das1 is so boring that it's better to troubleshoot your CE than to play through that filth again

>>152579215
right, but the other anon is saying his table + version combo works.

>>152579215
That's irrelevant. I have CE 6.5.1 and this table works fine.

I vaguely recall something about CE crashing Dark Souls but that was years ago so I don't think I can help you further.

So it's basically a fact now that Queen Lothric = Gwynevere?

Assuming DaS1 was your first Souls game, how did your first playthrough go?

The demon area is better, worse spawns but there's nice areas to watch and two entire separate places to fight from

... then I started abusing it because of how fucking frequently it was happening, I was sick of getting invaded the moment I come back into a world, how I had to deal with invaders who just sit back with the enemies when I had to go do shit in real life soon, and how From made it so hard to stop playing the game, so I did this to return my thanks to the lovely community.

So let me get this straight. Open DS1, Open cheatengine 6.5.1, open table, attach to process, then the table works for you? I've tried saying yes, no, whatever to the lua thing and all sorts of combos with all these tables and shit is still broken.

They really needed to have someone who gave directions to places. Crestfallen only says the line once, anyways.

I have no memory of it other than a couple of screenshots.

It should be pretty obvious considering there's a silver knight holding holy water blessed by Lothric's Queen. It's implied that Lothric is the civilization founded by the gods who abandoned Anor Londo, and their history seems to see themselves as a single, unbroken line leading back to Gwyn. The Cathedral Knight Greatshield description mentions the falcon on it represents an old king of Lothric, and the falcon is the bird that represents the sun. Heide's Tower in DaS2 had statues of Gwyn with a falcon's head

It's a Roman Empire -> Byzantine Empire sort of thing. Hell, Lothric even has a Byzantine aesthetic going on in a lot of its architecture and some of the armour designs.

>>152579781
It's even worse when you get the Lordvessel and the areas are shit. Thank god the DLC saved it from mediocrity

>>152579895
did Black Flame get buffed or something?

>>152579807
I just reply puttong ":3" at the end of every sentence. Furries hate when you mock them with that cancerous ways of speaking

>>152579987
Yes it did.

>>152580083
good

>>152579840
thanks senpai. restarting the game seemed to do the trick.


Changing "last bonfire rested at" then using a homeward bone/dying isn't working though. Anyone have any clue how to teleport to the kiln? I just wanna fight gwyn...the lords are so boring and their areas suck.


>>152579897
the Byzantine shit blew my mind

>couldn't beat Taurus either
>Got lost in the skeleton graveyard
>Got frustrated and quit after Havel stomped my ass a lot
I eventually came back and pushed through it, got a lucky Black Knight Halberd drop near the Grass Crest Shield and curbstomped the rest of the game.

Now that the dust has settled, when all has been said and done, all memes aside, we can all agree that SotFS was the Souls game, right?

>invade anywhere in the game
>host just takes the 3 second run to the boss door and ignores me

This is so retarded. I get that running back to the boss sucks but invasions are completely invalidated by how easy it is to run back.

They should make it so you can't run into fog doors if you have an invader around

>>152580282
I got that game on 360 and didn't realize that there is actually no such thing as SotFS for ps3 and 360.

I just picked it up a few days ago for ps4. Thinking about giving it a go to see the changes.

>>152580282
It's up there due to being the longest (and hardest) game with the best PvP in the series, but DS1 has the slight edge over DS2 imo.

>>152580414
No that would be retarded.

My favorite thing I ever did souls-related was for a friend playing DaS.

I got the game when it came out for my 16th birthdayGamestop employee recommended it to my mom over skyrim, thanks bro and played it non-stop for almost six months. Eventually I loan-traded it to my closest friend at the time, in exchange for skyrim. The dude was always an uber-macho competitive type of guy and an awfully sore loser and couldn't stand the fact that he was shit at the game. I went over to his place one day and sat down, giving him vague hints and pointing out environmental clues and just telling him about the lore of the game, while making educated suggestions for his character.

I ended up doing this for two weeks when he finally beat the game over spring break that year, and turned into a souls-obsessed freak like me.

He never got to play Dark Souls 2. Rest in peace, Adam.

Is champ weak to strike?

By how much?

It was honestly very fun. My biggest disappointment with 2 and 3 has always been the fact that the game's were no longer designed with the idea of stealth being a viable strategy. The number of enemies in 3 with scripted aggro is just ridiculous.

>>152580631
he's actually weak to riposte and lightning

>>152580526
What's retarded is invading being useless because of how short boss runs are

>>152580414
Actually, running is perfectly fair, the only bad part being that bonfires are so close that it's too safe.

If you removed, say, cruxifixon woods, tower on the wall or church of Yorshka, the run to a boss post shortcuts would be on par with past games
