Yorshka's fluffy tail!

I've completed DS3 once a while ago. What's a fun build/weapon for a new character?

for what purpose? why not just release it now?

THREE MONTHS

>>152681890
It'll probably be the 25th already for me. Fuck.

>>152681885
Quality is the only fun build. 40 Str, 40 Dex, rest in Vig and End, then you can use 90% of the weapons in the game at full effectiveness.

>>152681952
Because it its a secret.

>>152681951

That's fancy gear with strong colors right?

MOMMY ROSARIA!

>>152681609
She was still head and shoulders above pretty much every other level up waifu, and a bunch of other characters in the whole series. A bunch of the problems with her characterization stems from how horribly flawed DaS2's overall story and "lore" are, but she's still my favorite of the three.

For whatever reason, they announced that it would be released on the 24th and they're sticking to that date.

>>152682252
Okay then, have fun not meeting the softcaps for dark magic scaling without rings.

Can we stop shitposting and actually talk about the game?

What would you like to see in AoA?

1.- More ultra greatswords
2.- Miracles and Hexes
3.- PvP Arenas
4.- 1-2 new covenants
5.- Lord of Hollow ending getting continued in DLC
6.- Lore explainations
7.- Solaire's coprse
8.- CU and BOTC final fight

i have just over 600 hours and every achievement in the game

anything i should stock up on or do before the DLC?
should i do another NG+++* playthrough to get another 7 slabs? or is it safe to CE in a bunch of those, im pretty sure its the only thing i really need to do

2. Angels of Lothric

3. I don't know how these two can be worked into a kingdom named "Ariandel"

4. "Ariandel" is a stupid name

5. better Dark Magic

6. maybe a Serpent boss fight?

"Ariandel" might be the name of a character. And angels can work with that, because the name ends with "el", just like biblical angels' names.

>>152682414
I hate that they made her do the little foot kicks like the Maiden in Black. Get your own thing bitch!!!

>Ariandel is a person, not a place
never thought of that possibility

>>152682382
I want more dark scaling weapons.
I don't much care about UGS (though at least 1 with a unique moveset would be nice) since we already have so many, but I would like more greataxes since we got so few in the main game.
A bell-weapon of some kind.
More variety of dark spells
More magic in general that's utility based without just being straight buffs, things like VoS and that jihad miracle from 1.

More weapons with really atypical weapon arts, like something big having quickstep or leaping slash, or a dagger than can spell parry.

>>152682089
nah MiB is the cutest. Herald was lame as fuck, ugly ass model, stupid shoes, bear seek seek lest, cut story line, etc.

>>152682831
No I'd like to avoid the bad ones.

>ending continued in DLC

Nigger bro, please let me explain and blow your fucking mind

Imagine the DLC starts at the kiln seconds later after you usurp the flame, just for you to be guided into Londor by Yuria and everything ending up in a battle of biblical proportions against Angels/Serpents/CU-BOTC

i want the heralds outfit on the MiB

>>152682956
greatsword weapons are sort of a middleground in balance and i personally find them extremely fun to use, straight swords are extremely strong ranging from super good to meta tier, personally i go with the lothric knight sword because it looks good

if you want something with a bit more flavor then maces are in a very good spot, obviously they are not meta tier but they can carry you through the game

personally i have always wanted to try out offhand dagger because of its unique stance and animations

>>152683226
Just learn to use hyper armour already holy shit. Your crutch is never coming back.

>>152683286
This, we need Profaned Capital and Londor, not more snow.

>>152683252
that's 1 month sooner than TOH dropped, don't be a baby

>>152683385
personally i think backstabs were infinitely bigger crutches than poise ever was

i only fight people on elevators when i play das1

aint having nothing of that bullshit

>>152682770
IIRC, the biblical "el" is hebrew for "of God" hence why most angels have it in their name.
However, del is derived from "dale" which is just an olde english word for a valley. It's fairly common for british, and for european fantasy towns to be named Xdale or Xdel when they are in proximity to a valley of some kind.

So Ariandel could mean Arian of God, as in a being blessed by the divine, or it could mean Arian Valley, as in a settlement located in or near the geographical feature.

How pissed would you be if the Serpents don't get touched upon in the dlc?

>>152683385
There's no reason why you should get staggered by a broken straight sword in full Havel's

>at the end of ds1, solaire went back to link the flame in his own world, becoming a lord of cinder
>at the start of ds3, some bells rang and all the lords of cinder revived

where is he now?

>>152683530
It would make the statue in the Grand Archives feel like a complete red-herring and tasteless, pointless fanservice on the level of Old Dragonslayer.

>>152683120
Why not?

It would be something like "get to know the canon ending you loser"

>>152683457
poise was one of the reasons why backstabs were so easy in ds1
these two crutches are connected

>>152683604
They only revived 3 out of the countless LoC to have come and gone. Presumably only the 3 most recent ones because they would be the easiest to bring back.

>>152683616
yes, in effect it would make the Usurpation ending canon (because let's face it, everyone considers doing the dlc content canon), and that is anathema to Miyazaki & Co.

plus there would be plenty of backlash from the fanbase as well

>>152683604
>All the lords of cinder revived
Except this isn't the case you fucking meme

>>152683604
Probably one of the souls that merged to create Soul of Cinder.

>>152683534
because newton's 1st law

>>152683430
I dont know about that bro, i dont own a BloodborneBox(tm) yet

>>152683534
realism-wise speaking, there's also no reason why you should even take any damage at all from such a hit
it doesn't mean that implementing that would be a good game design choice

>>152683750
Are you retarded? The attack would recoil back to the attacker. Have you every swung anything at a rock?

ALRIGHT /dsg/

the DLC trailer drops tomorrow, which means that tomorrow we get the answer to the most important question of all:

who is going to be DaS3's Artorias/Alonne/Raime/Ludwig? the bossfight that's meant to be super badass and a moment for the player to say "WAIT I KNOW THAT GUY! I read about him in the descriptions but we never met!"

>>152683847
Yeah. The rock breaks my dude.

>>152683897
Ariandel. It's going to be Ariandel.

>>152683829
There's also no reason why anyone would be able to wear such armor in the first place.

>>152683897
Gertrude, Heavenly Daughter

>>152683471
So angels DLC pretty much confirmed

>>152683897
Ariandel. Probably a glorious winged faggot.

So I've been experimenting with spears today and I've learned that the R1 attacks do not deal thrust damage unless you hit an enemy with the very tip of the spear.

Against enemies that are weak to thrust (Aldrich blobs, Rosaria maggots) R1 attacks do fuck all damage at close range, but if you catch them with the tip of the spear the damage dealt is very high. In contrast using spears against enemies that are resistant to thrust (skeletons) spears do almost no damage when you hit with the tip, you have to connect with the shaft of the spear to do maximum damage (which I'm guessing is standard type damage).

This is only for R1 spear attacks, it seems like R2s, weapons arts, running attacks and even pokes from behind a shield always do thrust damage regardless of spacing.

Just something to consider if you use Leo ring with your spear

>>152684397

>>152684310
>implying that Gertrude didn't transcend her mortal form and rise up to join the Angels

The game's already dead as fuck in PvP outside of the boring Pontiff Duels (the awful meta does not help), and the PvE's short and linear with zero replayability; what the fuck are we supposed to do in the meantime?

>>152684883

That's what I originally thought, but you only get a difference against enemies that are weak or resistant to thrust damage.

If you hit a skeleton with the spear "sweet spot" you do half damage, but if you hit a slug or blob with the "sweet spot" you do triple damage. Against enemies like undead villagers and dogs it doesn't matter if you're in the sweet spot or not because the damage is always about the same.

>>152684940
Yeah it's not bad, people get really triggered with this series when it's not a 'big guy with a big weapon' fight. Deacons and Wolnir are piss easy, but I think they're well designed and interesting.

>aren't angels like incorporeal and ghostlike?

In Dark Souls 3? There's nothing that says what an angel is, just that one spoke to Gertrude and she made a religion about it. And then there's the Frampt statues in a robe and angel wings, so who knows what the hell is going on with that.

It could be that the flying fatknights are angels.

Though, as much as I'd like a DLC I doubt we'll get one. It's mysterious but we've got enough lore on it already to theorycraft and fanwank. DLC tends to be on something completely new or only brought up a handful of times.

I've spent 20 hours on this playthrough, to get the Ring Master achievement. I got every ring in ng besides the wolf ring. The wolf ring+1 didn't give me the achievement, so I just farmed 30 grass and got the normal ring. I still don't have the achievement. I've checked the ring list seven times now and I know I have everything. I've dropped and picked up every ring and still nothing.
Please kill me.

>>152685628

>the angelic faith advocates letting the fire fade
When and where was this ever said?

>>152685908
You're half right. It is of Frampt, but it's not a statue belonging to the Angelic faith. It's just a deific/holy depiction of Frampt, because the Lothric royal family were pro-Fire so they were probably buddies with him.

>>152684940

and yet, none of the Angelic miracles are dark magic. Kaathefriends wear their abyss magic on their sleeves with pride

The Ashes of Ariandel title has been independently verified by the famitsu leaks, which most gaming news outlets are reporting on.

Sony pulled thew tweet immediately after posting it because they accidentally did it a day early. The trailer video is currently private, but will probably go public on the 24th.

I'm afraid that drang "touch of death" hammers are the closest we'll ever get to that.
You can't make a hammer fast without it no longer being a hammer
You can't make a hammer long without it becoming a greathammer
And we already have hammers with explosive turbodamage, it still doesn't save them from being bad.

Maces are always half-assed because their design is far too limiting. You can't make a mace fun, interesting or good without making it something that isn't a mace

But that doesn't mean one has to be against linking the fire. They could both be pro-fire, except each thinks the other is too extreme.

Also, primordial serpent dressed as an angel? Wings were never used to signify divinity or whatever the hell I'm trying to say. That's a new thing, and the only other new thing with angel wings are the fatknights and everything to do with Gertrude's angels.

Whatever wizardry the Lothric family did with their two sons to get around Prince Lothric being too frail to link the fire was apparently pretty extreme, if the item descriptions are anything to go by.

There's actually a lot of bird imagery across all 3 games associated with divinity. That's likely what they're drawing upon for lore-friendly angels. All 3 games have lots of imagery associating falcons with the sun, which is also a common real world association.

You should really be able to hold onto miracles and pyromancies after charging them up, like you were able to do in DaS2 with healings. At least give some way to try and trick people with your timings, instead of having them roll out of everything every time you try to hit them.

>>152687065

All slow things are inherently disadvantaged in RollSouls3 because you can erase any timing mistake by rolling again. Rollspam hardcounters lingering hitboxes, delayed attacks and virtually every other form of rollcatching that isn't straightsword/curved sword R1 spam.

>>152687113
Delaying spells would be broke as shit with lag, since you could just delay it for long enough to hit someone at the end of your roll or let perseverance eat an attack and hit them anyways.

He's not getting falseparries, which means the attack is coming in too late, not too early. It's just run of the mil lag. Parrying depends on the attacker's client, so if they're behind 500 ping they're basically parry immune. Setups fail consistently in high-latency fights

This is what Smough's Hammer should be already instead of FUCKING PERSEVERANCE on yet another weapon that doesn't need it.

i like DaS 2 vanilla more than SotFS. It felt so much better than the "improved" version

The school of scandal needs food. There's no point in paying attention to the gossip of rumourmills just looking for something to spread around or outrage over.

>thinking i give a shit what a shitter says from /dsg/
mhm mhm

Should I go with FUGS or Profaned GS?

I have heard decent things about both but I heard Fume got absolutely gutted. I also have no idea how the buff on the Profaned WA works though outside of just adding damage.

I don't like it.

The Worker's Hook would be too abuseable, either as an offhand weapon or just as a secondary weapon that can be immediately switched out for a riposte.

propane greatsword looks beautiful and is a pretty decent weapon
FUGS is ugly as fuck and has an useless moveset
what do you think?

Fuck that giant turd. Profaned all the way son.

>>152690795

Are you using a 60/66 STR Build? Use FUGS. Are you using a 27/40 or 40/40 build? Use Profaned. The Profaned WA adds 50 fire damage to it for a limited time, which is like a few points of extra damage at most. Every charged R2 of the Profaned adds that by default as well during the attack.

>>152690915
I think I just fell for the FUGS OP meme.

I dunno. Is it really that bad?

Vordt's Great Hammer should have let you belly slam for the weapon art.
Great Mace and Dragon Tooth perseverance should last as long as it does for Cathedral Knights and Havel.
Smough's Great Hammer should have had a stance where R1 was a charge forward then uppercut and the R2 was a butt slam.
Old King's Great Hammer should have been the ring of fire attack he does, rather than just a pool of lava around you.
