It looks like it's Painted World. I have a feeling they'll throw in a bunch of DS2 stuff as a crack about forgotten/unwanted shit going to the painted world. Like the Forlorn, a phantom with no corporeal form searching for a home.

Some people are already speculating about Aldia connections:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Geiji95mH0&feature=youtu.be

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkyneVZ8Qxo&feature=youtu.be

There's also the shit with Ornifex (DaS2) and the Corvians (DaS3) being outside the Painted World and the Forlorn's (DaS2) having a similar item description:

>Born of Aldia's obsession with the First Sin, the Forlorn lost both their corporeal form and a world to call their own. Now they drift into other worlds, ever in search of a home.

But to me, this seems unlikely because what the fuck would Aldia have to do with a random Painted World?

I still think the Dark Souls series is a prequel to Demons.

Demon's weapons imo look more futuristic. Morion Blade, Blueblood, Regalia, everything has a kind of modern minimalist smooth look, almost alien.

I think the Old One comes about because of the events of DaS. No mistake to me that he's made up of trees and exists in a greyvoid lake underneath everything.

Old King Doran in demon's could end up being Ashen One after he created a new kingdom.

These weapons have a more modern weird look to them then the traditional look of the dark souls weapons.

No. In Bloodborne, you get to have fun with weapons and feel cool. The philosophy for the Souls games is "look at all this cool shit and movesets that you will NEVER use because you're not an enemy/boss, fuck you, enjoy only using two moves".

Anything that isn't a quality build with one of the like, five meta weapons, is garbage.

No matter what it turns out to be, The Mark of the Conqueror is significant.

Before I say why I need to divide the Souls community into two general groups - Conquerors and Conquered - and quickly define both.

Both have basically been around since Demon's Souls, but the very nature of the Conquered demands that the Conquerors come first. Why? Because Conquers beat the path and light the way. Afterward, like mold or a rot, the Conquered seep into the community, ever at the heels of the Conquerors.

How is that? Either by a lack of information upon release or due to a self-imposed restriction, the Conqueror goes in blind. Conquerors embrace the challenge From Software has extended with each release in their Souls/Bloodborne Series while the Conquered abhor it. While Conquerors scratched and clawed their way through levels and boss fights, the Conquered poured over FAQs, Strategy Guides, Wiki Articles, Google Search Results, Let's Plays and How to Videos.

Therefore the Conquered subsist by virtue of the illumination spread over From's games by the Conquerors, entirely dependent on it. Overtime they've let themselves forget this, fancying themselves old hands as they bring their borrowed knowledge and tactics to bear on each successive release.

And then here comes fucking Nioh, reminding the Conquered who they really are. And with little to no documentation in sight they hide behind shitposts so they can cling to that "gud" status they worked so hard to attain. Eventually they'll be back. Once the Conquerors have shown the way, that is.

And that's why The Mark of the Conqueror is significant. No matter how superficial, uselessly cosmetic or quickly outclassed it is, it stills says I'm not like you. No, I'm a Conqueror.

You can mash charge between straightsword R1 mashing, after the 2nd hit but before a 3rd and your HA will be active.
You can't do this with stomp, it's always interrupted before before the HA activates in that same gap. You can test it yourself. There's lots of HA moves you can mash out in R1 spam but not stomp.

No that attack really is bullshit to dodge. This fight is 100% RNG. Just beat her, she did nothing but spam this one very easy to dodge attack.

There are two bullshit bossfights in the game. This witch is one of them. Three if you count the wonky platforming that will kill you 90% of the time before a boss part of his difficulty.

>>152831776

>>
>>152832842
Does the slam-down shockwave stun for any longer is does it still instantly guarantee a free out in pvp for your opponent and benefit them more than you?
>>
>>152832842
Great hammers should've just had near instant hyper armour on all attacks

Wasting their weapon art on a poise buff is fucking stupid when other weapons get more attacks or damage increase instead.

This is why Great Club and Spike Mace are the only good ones, but they still need more hyper armour.

This is the most bandaidiest fix ever.

>>

Yes. Good thing you can cheese it

>>
>STR weapon weapon art is designed to just give the opponent free hits on you to possibly maybe allow you to not maybe get a hit on them, but in actuality all it did was give them the free hit and you're still slow and you get nothing

Shit game. STR weapons as seen by From now are about masochism. They're for self inflicting pain. The only time you can land hits is trades. The weapons are designed to kill you.

magic is perfectly usable, you're probably bad if you think otherwise. the actual problem with magic is a lack of build variety.

magic and faith spells need to scale based off of 50 points rather 60.
>>
>>152833267
for me all the fun comes from knowing that I conquered the game by my own.

>>152833165
only hollows drop them though right?
>>
>>152833841
There's several fixed drops throughout the game. You get 3 guaranteed, non-random raw gems + whatever you get as drops.
>>
>>152833743
This

All poise did in DaS1 was benefit fast weapons by giving rapiers effectively fucking maximum hyper armour.

Demon's had it right. Hyper armour only on big slow weapons. Hyper armour started immediately, not "some time later".

Dark Souls 1's poise system was literally because dexbabbies whined about greataxe and butcher knife and shit in DeS and wanted to tank attacks too.

Passive poise does not benefit STR weapons. It benefits everyone else.

i hate to say this, but if your friend is like this, I doubt he'll really actually enjoy the game.

and this isn't some casual/elitist shit. there's just a lot of people that genuinely don't enjoy/are put off by soulslike games. in my experience, souls is (a lot of the time, not all the time) one of those games that really has to 'click' with someone before they get hooked, and it just doesn't click with some people.

give it a try, though. as far as the co-op, I would just bring one of your 120s and smash through the areas with him. he probably doesn't care about how much easier it'll make the game, and if he does really gets into the game then he'll come back and solo it anyway.

learn how to backstep ravioli well, so you can roll forward, and then backstep past them to then rush back forward with the running/backstep L1 double punch to lead into a combo.

That, and just play carefully. You can destroy people with the L1 > R2 > L1 combo

Jesus, are my nerves frayed. Went through my entire bundle of arrows too.

I don't even know why I'm being so paranoid and scared, the regular skeletons do piss-all for damage and I still got to the bonfire after having used only a single Estus. I just kept expecting those skeletons embedded in the wall to come to life and jump down after I pass them, or shit like that.

It's not so much struggling, it's just that I don't deal well with enclosed spaces like this. I barely got hit at all on the way to the bonfire, and also found out that only the covered jars release hexes while getting to the Carthus Milkring. It's mainly that I'm paranoid that the dungeon's going to pull some kind of asshole move on me like make the floor collapse with no warning and drop me into a bunch of those ninja skeletons, and I don't want to put myself into a situation where I'd be utterly fucked if that happens.

Assuming that means Tomb of the Giants, do you really even need it?

Once you have figured out the level design it's a 30 second run to Nito, who you shouldn't even die to anyway because he's one of the easiest bosses in the game and his entire gimmick revolves around summoning skellys that he himself kills ten seconds later with a weak ass AoE that one shots them and does nothing basically to you

That's just because some of the people doing weapon stuff care, and their efforts are kind of offset by the weapon people who don't care. The CCS and the sellsword twinblades are both great models, the uchigatana is just a thin flat bar.

While I'm on the subject, did you know that you slash at people with the dull side of the mail breaker? IMO the model looks great but it's hard to appreciate when your character is trying to cut people with the damn spine.

Corvian Scythe has immense scaling when infused with anything that scales, and still can proc bleed on top of that, making it absolutely insanely hard to deal with on an INT or Pyro build.

>>152840570
It was pretty inoffensive in 2 since the scaling was so shit. Even with int/fth at base you got excellent damage out of the box with pyro.

In 3 every spell needs a 60+ stat investment in order to deal any damage at all, which murders the viability of casters. It's galling that, even after investing 3x the amount of stats that I needed to in 2, I still don't reach the same amount of damage. Black flames that tickle for less damage than estoc counterhits and vestiges that can't out-trade gotthard's make pyro a goddamn joke. There's 0 risk in just walking forward and attacking into a spellcasters animations because you'll win the trade or interrupt them 9/10 times

In 2 pyromancy spells had no stat requirements.... Straid also hooked you up with cool shit like those zoning fireball mines giving some spell veriety that all DS3 spell users currently lack, at least before the DLC.

Why wouldn't it scale off int and faith? Max spec'd pyromancy has one shot potential if you can actually land some of that shit.

Sounds like you just want to be 250 level, or putting down a 40 in pyromancy should be fine. Whether you half ass it or go whole hog it's still going to be shittier than quality by default though.

What is it that makes these weapons so bad? Even using them I'm not exactly sure. It feels like every animation takes an extra second to recover over other ultras and I get punished way more when I wouldn't have gotten punished otherwise but I can't really tell if that's the weapon or not.

Be careful if you use the Corvian Scythe.

It kicks the almighty shit out of 99% of other infused weapons but it only does full damage if you hit on the blade. Although this MIGHT only apply to physical in which case never mind me

The attacks are noticeably slower then the already slow UGS/Greataxe basic attacks. The 1HR1 are without a doubt the slowest attacks in the game with a narrow hitbox on top of that. The 2HR1s in comparison are the faster attack aside from the rolling attacks but have an incredibly narrow cone of attack no matter which GH it is that buries half the weapon in the ground to not actually hit anybody.

The only even semi-usable Great Hammers are the Spiked Mace if you land the wombo combo, the Pickaxe for Leo Ring meme damage, and the Great Club for being unironically good

Why did Fromsoft have to make invading so shitty? It was always my favorite mechanic in these games.

Being invaded always spiced up pve, and invading let you show off dumb builds and cosplays.

Why'd they have to cock it all up? I honestly can't think of a reason to play this. I couldn't even get a little hyped by the DLC trailer.

Could this potentially mean something? Japan Studio did The Old Hunters largely by themselves, so does it sound viable that they might come out with their own Souls/BB/Nioh-esque game sometime?

I fucking hope so.

Japan Studio are the ones responsible for Demon's being much of what it was. Fromsoft was super betafuckboi at the time, Japan Studio came up with the whole multiplayer thing too.

I say bring it on, but make it clean and cel shaded and light on the textures but heavy on the destructible and particles and lighting.

I want Wind Waker Souls. Toon and light hearted, but tough as shit and deep as fuck.

>>152843214
I've heard that Bloodborne itself was largely a Japan Studio thing, and that only a ragtag team of Fromsoft's finest were on board, the bulk of staff was JP.

Let Japan Studio have a crack at making Demon's Souls 2 all by themselves for Sony, and then let's see how they can do their full fledged on take on the formula.

The hyper armor on UGSs sucks. Yeah put it at the end of the swing, that's definitely where it needs to be.

>that thread on /v/ saying that a redone Velstadt will be one of the bosses in the first DLC

Probably bullshit but oh god I would be happy.

>>152843679

All ultras have HA on their basic attacks at the halfway points of their swings. Curved Greatswords also do if you don't count them as ultras. Halberds and greatswords both have HA on the 2H moveset, though halberds that don't a downward smash like the Red-Hilted don't have any I believe for good weapon. Halberds and Greatswords also have the best poise modifiers for their attacks and halberds have probably the best overall HA in terms of when it starts to when you attack which makes passive halberd players an absolute bitch to handle.
>>
>>152843679
>>152843821

Also almost every weapon has HA on charged R2s, and some WA have HA as well such the Straight Sword Stance, which is why it's one of the best WA by far.

>>152845002
You get pretty much exactly enough to do what you want. There are basically two places in the game where you want to be cautious about branch usage, Shaded Ruins and Aldia's Keep.

Shaded Ruins has a bunch of statues but you only really need to de-petrify one of them (the one holding the key to Ornifex's cell). There's another one that leads to a chest where you'll get another Fragrant Branch back, and you can get another one by killing the area boss (not sure if you have to summon Manscorpion Tark for it, but he's helpful for drawing aggro anyways so might as well). Other than that, there's two blocking the way to Body of Vengarl but you only need to de-petrify one of them (the one you can reach by jumping out of the bonfire building is the best option), and the rest either block the way to a chest with mediocre loot (though the Repair miracle can be useful) or drop a headgear that's baller-looking but isn't that useful otherwise.

Aldia's Keep has only one optional statue you might want to de-petrify, the Ogre who's carrying some loot. I've never checked the two hollows at the top to see what loot they have but it's not necessary anyways.

Beyond those two areas, you can pretty much de-petrify whatever the hell you want and it'll be worth it, though that also depends on how thorough you are at exploring and looting.

The games aren't in the same timeline. There are a few conscious nods(like how Index Gundyr's helmet is modeled after Old Burger King from Demon's) but they're all superficial connections.
>>
>>152850853
Yes
>>
>>152850794
Not him, but he's right, every game's cities/civilizations are all dead, the kingdom fell before the game even happened, however it was forgotten, or erased from history ~after~ dark souls 2.
>>
>>152823028
Claymore and Hollowslayer have exactly the same range though. Hollowslayer does more damage on dex/quality builds and has better R1. It's simply superior

Yes, the next door should open by itself when you get close.
I miss Dark Souls 2...

WHY CANT I LOG IN THE SERVERS WTF
>>
Just started my first playthrough of 3, always gone dexbabby in past games and going pure sorc now

For pve only, ideally no summons, how is:

Vit 34
Att 30
End 30
Int 50?

Just to get me through pve; I can always respec later

Was gonna run raw/crystal rapier the whole way through
>>
>>152851259
You can't read either it seems.
>>
>>152851341
27 vig
30 att
20 end
60 int

spare points in strength for MLGS as you decide
>>
>can't buff split damage weapons
>can't rouge blood-infused weapons
>poison infusion strain is weaker than a fucking staff WA
>D scaling on anything that could be fun
Why this
>>
>>152851341
60 int
26 end
38 vig
30 att
>>
>>152851341
pls don't do this to yourself
sorcery only gets good after archives which is like the last area of the game
>>
>ng++ alva
fucking bullshit HA on curved greatswords
>>
>>152851389
Because it's Dark souls 3, we can't have people having fun, we can't have people making INTERESTING builds can we, nooo that would take effort, we can't have that. No fun allowed.
>>
>>152851438
nah, its fine by the time you clear profaned capital/irithyl, so you get soul spear, Karla and all the rings
Which is still half of the game
>>
>>152851438
Good as in fun or viable?
Because I'm up for a challenge

>>152851376
Figured I'd leave room for MLGS from 100-120, which is why I stopped at 100
Really wanted to push the whole pure caster thing

I see yall both bumping int higher and lowering vig/end so I'll stick with that though

Fucking hell. Why does vitality have to suck so much in this game?
>>
>>152851407
>>152851376
Why 60 int?
>>
>>152851746
It's the soft cap
Original asker here
I'm just gonna stop at 25 end/ 30 Vit and fill out as I see fit
Ty for the advice
>>
>>152843318
>I want Wind Waker Souls. Toon and light hearted, but tough as shit and deep as fuck.

That was going to be Necropolis IF IT DIDN'T ACTUALLY SUCK
>>
>>152851851
Hard spell damage cap*
>>
>>152851907
it's actually the intellect softcap

99 int gives about 15 more spellbuff on the court sorc
>>
>>152851558
Intel does literally nothing for your spells until...40 int, I think? I forget.
All the non-garbage spells are very late in the game. Half-way through at LEAST. I hope you like great heavy soul arrow, because you'll be casting it a lot.
The intel weapons in this game are pretty bad. Crecent sword sucks, sword of judgement really sucks, crystal rapier is okay I guess, MLGS has fucking split damage and strength scaling for some retarded reason.
All of your spells taking from the same resource means you are going to have a LOT less spells available then before, unless you put most of your estus into ash, which means minimal healing for your already squishy ass.
Combat in this game is SO MUCH FASTER than the others. As in the enemies are fast and aggressive as shit and you...aren't. You will get one or maybe two spells off before they're on top of you, and good fucking luck getting anything off in a fight.

It's bad. It's really bad. EVENTUALLY it gets good or on-par with physical builds, but by then there's maybe 5% of the game left.
>>
>>152852051
removing the ToD skip really fucked over casters, because you have to do all of cathedral and irithyll

they might have fixed the irithyll dungeon skip too, failed it like 5 times today
>>
i havn't played for like, 3 months, is PvP still cancer?
>>
>>152852051
>sword of judgement really sucks
Have you ever even used it? That weapon is a total beast ever since they lengthened it's buff duration. It's really fucking good now.
>>
>>152852051
>Crecent sword sucks
It is strong as fuck, but the WA is fucking mis-aligned and it has no reach. But its one-shotting tier if you land the WA in melee you won't
>>
>>152839370

Calling it now

The final boss of the second DLC is going to be the primordial serpents and it's going to turn out they're all just heads connected to the same body
>>
>>152852274
with fast weapons getting instant 2hit stunlock, pvp will always be cancer
unless they make poise have a larger impact on when HA starts

a heavy armor character using an ultra should be able to trade with zero chance of getting stunned
>>
>>152852417
wait, have they still not added proper poise yet?
didn't people literally find it was a thing that wasn't activated?
>>
>>152852496

Poise works on NPCs, not players for some reason
>>
Just watched the trailer, what's up with all the stuff from the main game in there?
>>
>>152852531
that's goddamn retarded
well fuck
might aswell get used to the game anyways with the DLC coming soon
what's the most cancer pvp build so i can abuse the fuck out of it so i don't get bored of pvp?
>>
>>152852576
immolation tinder + farron dart
>>
>Vamos, the skeleton smith in Das1 tells you about how you should go to New Londo and Lost Izalith to get those rare embers
>you find the chaos and large fire ember in Demon Ruins

What?
>>
>>152852574
ROOK AT THIS COOR DRC, OH WAIT, YOU DON'T HAVE THE VANIRRA GAME? YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON SO MUCH FUN
>>
>>152852531
>not even pve poise
getting body blocked in a corner is a death sentence
and dogs can get fucked
>>
>>152852668
why tinder?
but i remember using farron dart on my pure sorcery build, i can see it being cheesy killing players slowly when you just keep dodging
that'll be fun
>>
>>152852682
>it's a dlc trailer
>Fuccboi princes aren't added by the dlc
>they're still in the trailer
Dumb gook poster.
Two nukes wasn't enough.
>>
>>152852676
I thought those lines were cut?
>>
>>152852574
Like what? four brief clips of bosses that might have some significance to the DLC?
>>
>>152852668

Mixing up the tinder moveset with farron flashsword and dark edge is fun too
>>
>>152852827
The PS3 PtD version has them as Vamos' talk option.
>>
>>152852676

Doesn't have to be HIS embers

You do find an ember in New Londo after all
>>
>>152852831
Cathedral of the Deep, Catacombs, Irithyll and most of the end-game bosses. It's kinda weird desu.
>>
>>152852574
Something that alludes to Gwynevere I think given the main game bosses showcased were Oceiros, Nameless King, and Homobros which all have links to Gwynevere.
>>
>>152852912

Didn't the Old Hunters trailer do the same thing
>>
>>152853021
NEW THREAD
>>152853021
>>
>>152852912
Those were probably recorded early on showing off the new weapons and spells, it's not really that weird it's just irrelevant.

But I guess you just wanted to show /dsg/ how cool you were by bitching about the most irrelevant bullshit you could figure out.
Or maybe you just suffer from severe aspergers.
>>
>>152852762
because its a casting catalyst with ridiculous melee AR and reach and a good WA to boot
And with darts you're basically controlling the entire fight
>>
>>152852952
And look how shitty that turned out
>>
>>152853067
awesome
i'll want to go to softint cap right?
was it 50 or 60?
>>
Yo, how do you get the Lautrec armor? Shit looks dope in DS3
>>
>>152854540
You need to murder 2dog in the water reserve and then buy it from the handmaid

>>152853316
60
>>
>>152854779

I think it would be pretty cool if the DLC area was like right over that hill and you could see the base game locations from there but they said it's going to be completely unrelated to Lothric so probably not.
>>
>>152855658
Probably gonna be like the Dragon place. Archstone Peak? Forgot the name.
