I'd say that base BB was worse than DS1.
ToH is what made BB godly.
But yeah, in terms of base games DS3 is by far the best experience.

>>155124610

The combat, atmosphere, and setting in the base game in BB is still great though. Sure it's short but that doesn't make it one of the best Souls game.

People overlook a problem in invasions that should be removed.

Hosts always gets +2 estus per invader down.

If a shitty invader dies, host and his m8s ends up with more overall estus then +1 you get yourself.

Replace Serpent with Fire Surge, Black Serpent is annoying as fuck, but not that useful. Replace chain with something else, use other rings like Knights or Hunter to get extra five levels. I recommend adding Bountiful (Sun)light to your build, it is a very good buff for a turtle build. Replace red Hilted halberd with something else, it's main benefit of benefiting greatly from Leo Ring doesn't apply to the same degree when elementally infused, because counter damage only applies to your physical damage, you cannot do the same retarded trades you can do with a refined red Hilted halberd. Bloodring would achieve ultimate cancer status, use bloodring, if you want to be cancerous. Combine with lagswitching for extra levels of cancer.

>invader/NPCs are WORSE than DS2 ones
Oh no. The npc AI in DS2 was completely broken. They were extremely, horrifyingly dumb up to a point Lucatiel just dropped into the water on majority of my playthroughs. Invader npcs blatantly cheated with nearly infinite poise, impossible attack cancels and read your inputs. DS3 Creighton and Hodrick alone are better than all NPCs in base DS2 combined and also much more fair.

I'm moving out for uni in 2 weeks, can't bring my PC there. I bought a laptop today.
I know very little about PCs (I'm a somewhat recently converted consolefag) and therefore I used some website that checks my specs to see whether I'll be able to run DaS3. It said that everything besides my video card is good.
The one I have is called "GeForce GTX 950M", and the minimal required ones are "GeForce GTX 750 Ti" and "ATI Radeon HD 7950". Could I be able to run the game at absolute jackshit settings regardless? I don't care about graphics, and I'll even accept low framerate.
Please help me.

I stopped playing about a week after the game came out, and want to effortlessly win in PvP, what are the best weapons now?
I remember Dark Sword and Gothric completely dominating the meta.

>>155126584
Play in KF4, it has some pretty cool water locations.

>>155126595

Best weapons are Gotthard's, the Estoc (mainly while turtling), and Carthus Curved Sword. Two-handed glaives are also high class. Dark Sword was nerfed very slightly but is still very good as are most straight swords.

>>155125739
Knowing that enemy and how it normally attacks, the guy in the webm probably spawned or teleported that thing to that area before he entered its 'aggro' area.
Just here me out: Unlike other entities that you fight in the game, that thing is a unique fight. The monkey that worked on that particular dude probably had a zone set in the game area with a simple YES/NO check when it needed to decide to attack or not based on the player's relative location according to the map itself, and not the entity, like most enemies in the game.
Having the thing teleported to an area OUTSIDE of that Y/N check would always return a NO value, and you get what is shown in webm.
And before you say anything else, that fucker is DEFINATELY outside of it's normal engagement zone, and was designed to be fought in the room of slime before the boss.

> I stopped playing about a week after the game came out, and want to effortlessly win in PvP, what are the best weapons now?
The so called "Glaives"(most of them are completely different polearms, there is only one glaive in the game, three bardiches, one lucernehammer, one shitty flamey WTF nonsense and two halberds and one axe). Fishing for trades using them is very effective, they are the easiest meta weapon class to use, CCS, estoc and gotthards require spacing and shit, polearms do not due to their range, hyperarmor and spin sweep combos.

>>155126964
That'd be beautiful but human sized bosses would be way too easy

>>155127019

>Normal enemies still get stuck
Getting stuck is par the course for the series.

>they have extremely short aggro ranges
Extremely short is an exaggeration. Again, it depends on whether you have aggro rings on or something. I've had Pontiff Knights chase me through almost half of irithyll, but the enemies also have aggro leashes so they don't follow the player to the ends of the Earth.

>they can be indefinitely cheesed just as easily as DeS enemies
Yeah, they're not overly bright, but generally speaking enemies that can do shield bashes to break your guard usually will do that and enemies like the Lothric Knights are very good at guarding their sides and not letting you circle them.

>the invader/NPCs are WORSE than DS2 ones.
Not really. The "dumb/smart-divide" in regards to NPCs is usually more due to the arena you fight them in and special scripting than overall "good A.I". Like, Maldron is great but he also cheats like a motherfucker and has been specially scripted.

But boss A.I is much better in DS3 than it is in earlier entries. Some of this is due to the design of the boss arenas, but the bosses feel less like they're spamming just one move over and over like in Dark Souls 1.

Dragonslayer Axe, Rotten Ghru Spear and Hollowslayer Greatsword are terrific for low level twinking. Glaives are alright at dealing with multiple opponents but something like a Carthus Curved Sword would be better for dealing hit and run strikes on multiple people.

>It's a sequel you fucking retard
Good job missing the point in my post, which is that people scream here all day how DS3 was shit because of all the pandering references and if they made a boss that was essentially one big callback to the first game, people would cry their eyes out over it.

Yes, the thread is not a hivemind, but this is very reminiscent of the reaction of people before DS3 was released and after it was released.
Before release it was like
>"Omg guys, what if we had like [Demon's Souls reference] it'd be some awesome!"
And after release there's a big butthurt about how DS3 had too many callbacks and references.

>>155128232
Ok, thank you. I think I can see what is going on now.
So, back to my original >>155126818 post, there is probably a YES/NO check based on the player's position in the level itself.
As you ran onto the elevator staircase, you must have set a value in the matrix itself saying that you were not on that specific level anymore, kind of like how you can cheese some enemies using elevators in other maps, and had reset the spider donger's Y/N check.
Then back to >>155126818 with the check always returning NO, and you got the webm shown over >>155125739

Maldron chugs as an invader and can do things a player character as an invader cannot do in the game.

>You people are easily fooled by quick attacks = Good AI
It's not the same indeed, but in DS3 at least there are enemies that try to counter people trying to circlestrafe them with tactics that make sense in the game world (i.e do quick shieldbashes to react to that).

While I understand that little things like that don't necessarily equal good A.I per se, it gives an illusion of an A.I that reacts to the player even though the Lothric Knights just happened to be programmed with that moveset.

But the A.I isn't shittier than DS1 / DS2 either, and they're much more clever about how they use the enemy combinations in regards to the enemies' abilities and level design.

For example the Lothric Castle area with the explosive barrels around the staircase and hollows throwing firebombs at the player from above so that the firebombs will have a big chance of hitting the barrels and the explosions hurting the player. Well, this would be "intelligent" behavior from a real life person, but the enemy A.I doesn't actually register the presence of the barrels nor does it aim at the barrels specifically out of any inherent "intelligence", the a.i that was designed for those enemies was that they were given the ability to throw firebombs and do a check whether they see the player or not and a distance check and should the player be a sufficient distance away, throw a firebomb and if not, draw a sword.

However, the way DS3 uses enemies in clever combinations with each other and level design more than DS1 and 2, it makes the A.I seem smarter as a result even though it probably isn't.

Just imagine - you use a covenant to teleport into a world that's actually hosted on a server (regional server). It's a copy of the game's world (in high NG). Mobs are aggressive to everyone. Everyone can enter boss fights. Everyone can attack everyone. Players start at a random point. All doors and shortcuts are open. Mobs and bosses respawn after certain amount of time. Players are on a timer and can extend that timer by killing mobs, bosses and other players. Everything gives more souls the more time you spent in the world, and if you kill at least 3 bosses (have to be the one who dealt most damage) or 6 players you can claim a covenant reward. 3rd covenant level opens slabs shop.

Reminder people say Dark Souls 2 was relatively well-balanced.

>>155133051
It should have been removed, there no way to balance it. If it continued being better than any other buff people would still use it

>>155133051
These are the only ways From balances stuff, meaningless nerfs/buffs or making something completly broken/worthless.
Try naming the good balance changes they did, in all 5 games.

>>155133153

It would've been best to give it an actual drawback in exchange for being the best damage buff instead of the soul cost. I always thought it should give a continual noticeable HP drain to at least make it good for PvE purposes like a Power Within, which 2 drastically lacked.

>>155133051
It was relatively well-balanced. Having a few things that are pointless is much better than having a few things that are the only things worth using.

>>155133263

>These are the only ways From balances stuff, meaningless nerfs/buffs or making something completly broken/worthless.

It's weird since 2 also had Santier's Spear which was OP as launch, nerfed into shit-tier, and then was buffed to be a reasonably strong but not incredibly OP weapon again for the rest of the games cycle.

I think player character is the Furtive Pigmy. You're always the Furtive Pigmy throughout every game. Furtive Pigmy is kind of like a borg overmind, who split his soul down to create mankind. He can manifest his will as a single person, yet the other humans - all the NPC's, all the other players - are also him.

Just invaded a host who apparently went AFK next to the bonfire while using a branch and I couldn't backstab him.
Why?

We really missed not giving kisses during 2.
It's just a way to show appreciation

Set DSFix to dump mode, load game, equip Hunter set, quit.

Dig through dump folder for the texture file for the set in question, modify the shit out of it.

Place new texture in override folder, and run DaS1.

Could you attack him at all? Probably the glitch where you can't interact with anyone. That's DkS3 for you

>Dig through dump folder for the texture file for the set in question
that's the worst part- checking literal thousands of textures one by one is really tedious and infuriating

>>155136806
Because 4chan posters are maximum cancer, always have been, always will be, so any non-4chan method they use gets infected, but people forget that the problem isn't the site, or the group, but the users, so they make multiple replacements and alternates trying to purge themselves of the filth, but nothing washes away 4chan, it stays with your forever.

>only the worthless fire attack of homosword scales with faith and int
Fuck this shit.

>>155137534

Go to the Abyss, the game should load less textures then.

>>155137534
It helps if you get something like sagethumbs, which gives normally unsupported filetypes thumbnails, then you can just scan through the folder rather than opening each and every one in gimp.
It doesn't make it easy, but it does cut out a lot of the error in the trial and error.

>>155137837
that unforfunately doesn't apply to DaS2 and 3

>>155137442
Yeah, I could attack him, and I killed him. But I couldn't backstab him Idk why.

>>155137785

That reminds me.

>Twin Princes Greatsword has fire damage with Fire scaling yet has no INT/FAI requirements so quality builds can use it perfectly
>Firelink Greatsword meanwhile has Fire damage, a 10 INT/FAI requirement yet no actual fire scaling so only quality builds can make use of it

Imagine if firelink gs at least had fire scaling and used the same moveset as sword mode SoC.

>>155137898

There's another way to do it easily, I just tested it. Delete all of the dumped textures and then equip the hunter pants, now you should only have the textures for the pants.

>>155138190

Nah, let's just it the base greatsword R1a and Bastard Sword R2s. :^)

Seen some around SL 70.

Why SL 140 though?

Does the difficulty stop at NG+7/NG8, or is it different in DS3?
