>Every time I question DS3 PvP

The only people who call it pvp souls are people who avoid pvp in general; every time the suggestion gets thrown at me, it's not "I'm in DS2, come on in and join me!" or anything, it's "GET OUT GET OUT REEE GO PLAY DS2 INSTEAD". It's mostly just baddies trying to trick pvp players into playing the worst game. Ultras were worse because hyperarmor was useless a-la stone ring estoc, katanas rapiers and straightswords were still the meta, dual wielding was nothing more than offhand rapiers and yielded virtually no benefits outside of that, jester's existed, greatshields were still retarded, footsies were horrible, etc. The list goes on.
>>
>>154918069
DS2 also had the worst, most host-centric invasion system.
Which is why i was never invaded past first playthrough, literally nobody wanted to take part in that shitshow.

from simply cannot balance large weapons, their balance ends somewhere in range of halberds, curved greatswords and greatswords, anything larger is usually really underwhelming
in fact, i praise ds3 for offhand greataxes at least, that shit is viable as fuck, probably the most viable ultras since des because of a 0.2 second hyperarmor startup delay which means you can trade virtually anything on pure reaction

>most balance amd gameplay mechanics took duelfags more into account than invaderfags and co-opers/PvEfags
I don't see the issue with that. Duels should be balanced, while invasions were always meant to be unfair.

It's not, hardly any new significant changes were made for invasions, except for weapon memory. Did you know Pontiff's faggy arena cannot be invaded by faithfuls? They knew exactly what they were doing with that place and that they now could jew duelfags more

Greathammers, namely great club and smuph's hammer, are fucking AWESOME for ng invasions. They break shields, they kill in a single guardbreak riposte, they stunlock entire cooper groups. They are only bad in duels but who the fuck cares about duels, my 32STR SL50 build rapes people.
Offhand greataxes are literally a japanese FC meta.

>>154919292
It just shows they put more thought into those people having a stealth safe space even before thinking of making dogs and darkmoons work properly.

>>154919138
No, stuff should never be balanced taking duels into account at all, except for plain broken/bugged stuff. DaS 3's duels follow the same idea of 2's, woth a bunch of stuff that sucks, but feels different and can catch newbies off guard easily, so it gets used despite sucking and elludes people inti thinking there's variety. Most signs are people not using the strongest shit, after all.
Duels should be removed because it detracts so much attention from From that they don't work with the important stuff and goes against everything Souls multiplayer stands for, creating forced simetry for a system where assimetrical PvP and coop matters more

Weapon memory is an overall awesome system. It still gives invader advantage (it's just not as crazy, but in typical ng invasion ranges you always can be two weapon levels above typical hosts) without making them ridiculously overpowered.
Estus regen from killing phantoms is a great system as well, i just wish it gave 2 flasks per cooper kill.
Permanent dried finger is a based thing that makes ng+ runs packed with action.
And thanks to SL matchmaking stat rings actually matter which allows to minmax some pretty fun low-level builds.

Are deep or fire infused weapons any good for low level invasions?

>>154924534

It's not broken, it's working exactly as intended. That being said, the mechanics put the invader at a significant disadvantage, meaning there is a good chance you will fail in your mission as an invader, with the added consequence that you lose all souls should you die as an invader, which for me is the most frustrating part

Depends highly, and I mean HIGHLY, on the level at which you are invading.

Weight Watchers

Use Hodrick's Helmet, the Exile armour and nameless knight gloves and boots. Hold a regular dagger in your offhand with a zwiehander in your main hand.

At 50% HP, collapse and then keep your weapon buffed with charcoal resin bundles for the rest of the fight. Optionally carry extra mainhand weapons like a cathedral knight greatsword to approximate some of their attacks with the WAs.

Be sure to fatroll, too.

You don't go to 40 end so you can swing your weapon more times, you go to 40 end so you can afford to sprint away from your opponent for some 11 seconds straight and still have enough stamina to turn around and tap R1 four times afterwards, when they attempt to chase you.

Firelink is arguably the hardest to obtain as it requires you to beat the game. Hidden as in most likely not going to find on your first run would be Black Set, since the only way to get it is by killing Yuria, which assumes you find Yoel, assumes you save him, assumes you talk to him in Firelink, assumes you draw power from him FIVE TIMES, assumes you find Yuria after that and then assumes you kill her. That's a lot of assumptions.

I got legit surprised when they parried me like that the first time. Then I realized that they just adopt a defensive stance whenever they're going to auto-parry, like the rapier-wielding Balder Knights in Undead Parish, and all you have to do is either wait for them to stop or pull out a 2HR1 with a big weapon. It's like invader NPCs in DaS2, when you get them to start blocking then it's an easy guard break into riposte.

Hosts are usually bad players. Them using meta weapons won't save them. Their phantoms might, but I call that fair.

I also use the irithyll rapier and the pontiff knight curved sword so I have a lot of options. You are just mad cause bad.

sl80 should be good for dlc invasions right?
>>
One of the things I miss about two was that weapons that were good in pvp and weapons that were good in pve weren't necessarily the same things. You didn't need to ridiculously overspecialize into a narrow meta of top-tier pvp weapons in order to invade because most targets were using maces and greatswords, which were generally awful pvp weapons, because they were good for pve.

In DaS3, every single invasion is a host with a carthus curved sword or some mind of straightsword because they happen to be best at both pve and pvp. It ends up meaning that in order to invade you have to bring something that can beat a straightsword or 9/10 times you'll be handicapping yourself against one.

Probably.
Most blind playthroughs seem to finish the game between sl70 and sl100 and the overwhelming majority of pve-ers put the game down and never touch it again after reaching the ending credits. All of those people will be streaming back in to play the DLC come the end of october and 80 will be the sweet spot to catch most of them.

Sl120 is also going to be super active as every single pontiffshitter and e-celeb worshipping metafaggot blows through the DLC with a rouged carthus sword and a squad of 3 phantoms, also with rouged carthus swords.

It's such a PvE crusher, it's hard to imagine what they were thinking when they designed it. The only even slightly bad things about it are that it's skill-leaning quality instead of strength-leaning and that some of the untricked R1s don't deal thrust damage.

I think the character being carried is called Marilyn of Vinheim. She has a crush on Seath and maybe Seath was trying to take advantage of this and experiment on her.

they're not consistent at all but if you pop dried finger in most areas you'll get invaded a bit. as for trying to invade people, i doubt it'd be very successful since most people will have everything beaten by that point or they won't be fingered up

>>154944296
Only if you already have twink gear. If you are straight up invading low level w absolutely nothing, you are at quite a disadvantage. Invading low level with no "twink" gear is essentially the same as invading at 120, except you have even less to do with your weps and die to gankers much faster.
>>
>>154943436

Stupid thing to do with the bow IMO. It's one of those weapons that benefits from being able to use both modes; if you're just spamming arrows you're unlikely to do much to a player, even the scrubbiest host can dodge those.

It depends. 1v1 with base gear and the host loses every time. Even at 2v1 you got a considerably advantage because of skill.
>>
>>154944471
There are only 3 active areas in that range to invade, they all suck. SL 60 or so can catch the only forked route in the game, as well as castle/archives. The only good area you lose is cathedral
>>
>>154944870
SL35/+3 good for Cathedral?
I remember the rafters above Rosaria being the most fun place to invade around launch.

its still pretty hot and intense for me at 120.

coming from low level shittery its a real nice breath of fresh air

>>154945031
Yes. You can go slightly lower, like SL 30, and catch hosts that skipped wood. I suggest having force.
>>
>>154945031
go +4 and you're good

my sl30 +4 invader gets instant connections in the woods, catacombs, cathedral, and occasionally as low as the settlement too

Going to have a 35/ 40, 60, 80, 100/ 120 ready for each eventuality. If the entrance is at the Cleansing Chapel, there should be some low-to-mid-level traffic (unless it's like DaS, where the item you need to access the DLC is somewhere past mid-game).

This legit makes me angry. Not because they are healing, no, that's expected, but because I simply cannot understand these idiots' thought process.

>but not allow you to walk
This would fix a big part of my problem with it: if you could instantly nullify nost of the heal with a backstab, there wouldn't be much of a problem, but they can lit-er-al-ly just walk out of the fucking thing while you're standing there jamming your weapon into their afterimage, like some tragic episode of Roadrunner.

Yes, this is virtually the only change needed. No walking around and no turning around so you're open for pivot backstabs and ranged tools.

You literally get a free heal by dodging an attack and sipping during their recovery. Not being able to walk wouldn't change shit.

The higher you go, the more you're going to see one-shot builds because
>gankers
>instant estus (even without the estus ring making it even more overpowered, you've got about 15 charges of that shit to deal with)
>rolling being stupidly effective in in getting away for a sippy
It's been said that no one could hit you in DaS2 if you knew what you were doing, but the rolling in DaS3 is retarded, and combined with the estus speed it makes invasions very frustrating. If the host is at all competent, they can just keep pace with your estus usage and beat you in a numbers game.
>>
>>154948627
feels like mid level invasions are the most balanced. Both the host and the invader has good chances at winning.
>>
What if leveling Str very slightly reduced the stamina consumed by attacks by a % and ramps up the more you invest into it? 2 handing wouldnt affect the bonus. Itd cap out at 80 str at something like 15% reduction, something that wouldnt be too noticeable but could over time get you a lot of returns.

>You literally get a free heal by dodging an attack and sipping during their recovery
No you don't unless you're rocking shit weapons like ugs and ugs babes should suffer.
The only thing that stops heal punishes is that the target can walk back during the animation and turn around.
>>
>>154948620
I've lost count of the number of times that a backstab punish attempt has failed because I wasn't standing directly behind them as they started to drink. Whatever about roll invincibility, Estus should leave you completely vulnerable.

>>154947963
I can bet if you were to ask obobobo how to balance them he'd make a retarded choice. Everyone knows how estus are broken but dedicated invaders all gave up or figured their own ways. For instance, a host that falls for an obvious hornet can be punished with vestiges every sip or thrust weapons backstabs. I personally even think the pole is retarded since there are shields and most invaders do not know deep/dark infusions exist, so you should use carthus instead. He took months to figure out fundamentally broken stuff/good tech while most people had long discussed them to death before.

How do you become tanky in this game? More Vitality or more Vigor? Why is it that when i have heavy armor and steel or protection, along with Black knight Greataxe +5, i do tiny damage to non heavy armor and they take chunks of my health.

Lvl 103 here
>>
>>154949487
because hammers need actual skill to use
in fact, i consider them to be a godly alternative for disappointed ugs users: relatively slow speed but INSANE damage potential
>>
>>154948607
you can limit Pontiff's moveset to 4 attacks (slide into swipe, slide into stab and side swipes and they can all be avoided without rolling but it's not beneficial to avoid the slide into swipe that way - roll to the GSoJ arm and you can avoid the next hit without rolling and it gives you a good opening and provokes the side swipe) by always staying close to him and dodging in certain ways and he becomes more passive in phase 2 if clone is alive and desync doesn't happen if you always stay in front of him
you can limit Dancer's moveset to relatively slow well telegraphed attacks by staying behind her at all times. all her phase 1 attacks can be avoided by sprinting behind her (but it's not worth trying it sometimes, it depends on the weapon you use). it's more difficult in phase 2 so you'll have to roll pretty much everything she does, but if you stay behind her in phase 2, the longest combo she will be able to do is triple spin which is well telegraphed imo
>>
>>154949403
I played through it and the dlcs after 3 came out, and I can confirm that 2 is the worst Souls.
>>
>>154949487
I didn't watch that video but my guess is it is almost impossible to hit an R1 or L1 with the Drang Hammers against anyone competent. Meanwhile Twinblades have a far better moveset that is faster to hit basic R1s and L1s with and has better range.
>>
>>154949487
Spin slash already one hit kills phantoms while being much faster. You want fast weapons and their lack of L1 HA males them unable to make up for the speed

Healing system itself is good. I consider it to be much better than overheal system of DS2 where two chugs of estus continued to heal you even if you got hit for a very high amount of HP. If they put their back to a wall they would still suffer a combo that will deal more damage than they've healed.

I prefer it to DaS3, but think that DaS is still the champ.
The most variety in terms of level, weapon and fashion choice, spells and good old viability. Soul Memory could have been fixed entirely with a change from souls accrued to souls spent (further improved by making it souls spent on upgrades and levels/ current level of all gear your character has immediate access to in the inventory).
Lore was interesting as a side-story to DasS/ DaS3, which fleshes out the world but so far doesn't really have much of an impact.

The irony is, I hate it's many problems with a burning passion, but seeing people shit on it for reflexively while also playing down or straight up ignoring DaS3's faults means that I'll defend it to the death any time someone shit-talks it.

Weapon switch tactics can help break up the flow of a fight, if you've made a bunch of reads about a guy and suddenly he whips out something else and starts playing completely differently you have to effectively restart the fight with lowered health.
A lot of people trip up on that "starts playing completely differently" part though, they're just pulling out their sure-win e-celebsword because they can't press buttons and think at the same time.

I would find it pretty funny.

DS3 has some really good levels, but :
The distance between individual bonfires as well as the levels themselves. You can have a well designed level and ruin it with constant bonfires that break up the levels in a way that breaks tension and the sense of making progress through shortcuts. This is what DS1 managed a lot better because the bonfires in DS1 functioned as "level starts" to multiple areas. Before you got the warp,you also wanted to carefully consider which bonfire to sit on so you wouldn't get stuck on a shit bonfire.

In DS1 you were usually thankful to see a bonfire. In DS3 they give you bonfires way too often in many levels so as a consequence they feel less rewarding.

It's decent as a side story but I dislike it's involvement with DS1's story.
Gameplaywise I like some of it's additions on paper but in execution they turn out bad. The gameplay feels sluggish and the mechanics overall seems to emphasize preparation and numbers rather than skill.
There's a lot of content which is a plus but it feels unbaked, I can get behind the general idea for a lot of the things they wanted to do but it doesn't come out right.
The game can look good but a lot of the areas look bland and ugly because of the lighting or vistas that are meant to look good but have butt ugly single texture 3d models. One thing to blame for this is that they meant for the game to be darker and have the player use the torch but they didn't do that so now the "dark" areas just look bland and ugly unless.you bring the torch along.
The designs are interesting. A lot of the weapons look like ugly WoW garbage, but some of it is neat and makes Dark Souls 2 feel like it takes place in a more "undeveloped" world than Lordran is.
The DLCs are pretty GOAT though, and imo emphasize what's GOOD about Dark Souls 2. If the rest of the game had been on par, it'd be amazing.
If I had to make an analogy, DS2 is like a chubby, homely hooker that lets you do a lot of things with her but it won't come cheap and you have pay for the extras separately. Softs is the same hooker that slashed the prices, put some more effort into presentation and included the extra treats to the base price.

Its like they started updating the textures and just stopped halfway through...
And a question: why is a statue of Nameless King, made during the Age of the Gods and then broken, doing in Lothric Castle, presumably built long after this kind of shit stopped getting made? Its like they expect us to think someone found the broken statue and dragged it all the way here in a locked room to worship an essentially dead god, or even more ridiculous, built a statue here and then broke it.
I get that they had to have this here for covenant reasons, even though locking it this late in the game majorly screws over faith casters, but it shouldve been somewhere in Undead Settlement on a bridge somewhere as a nod to the Hellkite Bridge, or maybe in the Profaned Capital somewhere. They even had a church with NOTHING in there but baby hand abominations, why put this shit here?

Lothric is literally built upon the memory of Anor Londo. The Dancer, wearing an heirloom of the royal family, guards the entrance to their castle; the Dragonslayer Armour, a relic of the war with the dragons, is venerated within the castle. Hell, they literally tell that the knights of Lothric worship the sun.

So yes, the statue is a remnant of Gwyn's time that's been retrieved, preserved and venerated by the knightly caste of Lothric, who consider it an icon of the sun deity they worship. That's why they tame wyverns instead of slaying them.

Nope. You'll have to either kill Dragonrider, Skeleton Lords and Mytha to get Gilligan move to Majula or kill Royal Rat Vanguard to be avle to enter Black Gulch.

Oh, good thing I have an unparryable attack I can use as soon as you stop two handing any weapon.

But no, feel free to try listing DaS's best weapons and see how many were str ones. And if it was added in 3 I could roll from your non-instant poisestabs

At this point in DaS2's life cycle its pvp was far superior. It wasat 1.10. It had buffed all of the bad weapons and fixed the broken ones.

There has never been a patch like DaS2's Calibration 1.08 in DaS3.
Take a look at how much it did. http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/game-patches#toc11

That was TWO MONTHS after release. Dark Souls 3 came out five months ago.

Does Horsehoof Ring do anything for scimitar / rapier "kicks"?
>>
>>154958280
Can you even survive the fall to The Gutter entrance with cat Ring and enough VIG? Sounds like bullshit but I'll believe it anyways.
But then you'll run to the problem of not being able to get a Fragrant Branch of Yore to unpetrify Rosabeth without going to either Sinner's Rise or Earthen Peak first in Vanilla.

Has anyone done a scythe playthrough? Was fighting the crabs some time ago and noticed that their "visceral" animation is actually very cool looking. Better than the animations for 2 even.

>>154958808
You don't seriously think you need gilligan, do you? It's trivial with the cat ring, and you can even do it without the ring if you strip down and have enough vig. And there's a branch in black gulch.
The guy is still baiting you, of course you can't do Darklurker first, but it's a hell of a lot more open than DS3, that's for sure.
>>
>>154958348
What the fuck, why?

It's 100% doable, man. I only buy, I mean rent, the fag's ladder if I want to have 2 of his scimmies. Not sure about the branch though

OK let me rephrase.
You can't do Darklurker first unless you play on an old patch where parrywalking still exists.
>>
>>154959051
Darklurker 1st is technically possible, it just requires you to farm 1million souls without killing a boss.

Thanks

>>154959363
He's using perseverance, to the same effect. Perseverance is complete stagger immunity = on while it lasts, which would be equivalente to poisestabbing.
It just shows curved swords are so fast that if you were stupid enough to try poisestabbing them, they could just mash R1 and have their character auto track you and keep their back covered. You can see the red, even when he attacks, can't start the backstab animation. And if he did? Well, carthus would just have the host turn around, take default r1 damage (as happens when you do the backstab animation but don't have it connect to your back) and then trade it with another hit. It'd do like 4 r1s against one ultra one. Or 3 and roll back without taking a hit.

>>154959502
In vanilla there is a branch at the end of the gutter. In sotfs melentia sells one. Assuming you autismfarm low enemies to reach 1mil, you can fight darklurker as your first boss. That doesn't actually make the game more open in the different routes short of way, but it's doable
