>>155394005 #
I really don't think more than one more covenant will surface. Once you've got around 2k health and soothing sunlight with good weapons, you don't really need anything else as a ganker. What's going to happen is people are going to make builds that can only invade vicars, only to realize that they stand even less a chance of winning than before since now they're fighting organized tanks with heals and never any randos. The host advantage is too strong for a countar vicar cov to succeed. Chances are they'll level up their current 140's to do it too, thus getting rid of all the SL140 characters. Getting them to do that is essentially the plan I think. Then everyone else can just hop off their 170's and blood 2.0 won't get invasions.

I've seen a new axe that looks almost identical to existing axes and has the same generic R1s
I've seen a spear with a javelin toss attack, though it's not clear if it was the WA or just an R2.
I've seen a boss with a scythe literally recycle the Wolf Leap WA animation as an attack, and inevitably the player will get this as a boss weapon with the attack as well.
And, of course, they'll no doubt count the Torch 2.0 as one of their 15 new weapons.

My expectations are appropriately tempered. Only two bosses is a goddamn tragedy and I have yet to see a single weapon that interests me. I suppose the giant wolf boss all but confirms that we'll be getting some kind of wacky, zaney new farron wolf's blood weapon but until I actually see it in action I won't get my hopes up for anything actually worth using.

Odds are we'll get one of each spell type, so look forward to your singular hex. 5 bucks says it'll be some buff/debuff from one of the previous games dragged back to lazily fill the spell quota.

Let's not forget all the features they removed / made worse in DS3:
>Chugging Estus immobilizes you, and the heal isn't instantaneous meaning trying to chug while someone is sticking close to you will result in death
>Stamina regeneration is tied to weight, so a character at 10% burden will recover their bar faster than a character at 70% burden, giving an advantage and a reason to make a low burden character
>Poise exists and armor provides relevant, but not overpowering damage reduction, giving an advantage and a reason to make a high burden character
>Phantoms and Dark Spirits cannot chug estus, spirits can only heal via spell useage which is slow. This makes fighting outnumbered even without mob assistance possible since any damage you do sticks.
>Can only perform four rolls before running out of stamina
>Can only perform 5 attacks of a rapier or straight sword before running out of stamina
>Parrying has longer recovery frames and consumes more stamina, making parry fishing riskier and makes parrying require higher skill
>Power stance allowing for unique combinations of dual wielding and unlocking an alternative moveset for broader variety of weapons
>Being able to use the full moveset of a weapon in your off-hand including running, rolling, backstepping, etc. attacks rather than just being able to do a basic R1 swing and blocking with the weapon as it is in Ds3
>Non-linear first half of the game allows you to rush straight to the areas of the game that contain the items for your build
>Fun PvP and PvE covenants that were unique

BB's dlc promos basically showed me enough for me to be satisfied with my purchase. DaS2's promos didn't, but the fact that they loaded most of the dlc movesets and content into the files months beforehand and let wizards show it off for us was functionally a preview of everything I needed to see.

DaS3 has done neither. The trailers show very little beyond pieces of a singular, samey environment and unremarkable weapons. The fact that two bosses-only has been confirmed worries me immensely because I know that after one or two playthroughs I'll be literally walking through them and just having less do to in total is rather disappointing.

I'm sure they ran into the challenge during development that in order to make a boss difficult for an endgame character with 15+10 estus, the boss either has to be so punishingly aggressive that it can interrupt healing attempts and kill players before they get a chance to use their estus, or otherwise must last so incredibly long that there's a realistic chance of running out of estus throughout the duration. The strength of 3's rolling makes the former impractical, and so it's no surprise that they seem to be focusing on the latter, turning fights into extended multi-phase, multi-boss endurance gauntlets because it's the only way to match the player's healing resources.

I want to get DMB for my vicar. Fastest level to?

I kept the sentinels equipped while leveling and got 10 ears between 30 and 60.
I'd recommend staying within the range of 30-40 and farming ears for a while. The servers seem to put you in matchmaking rotation at a random point, and once you're "in" you'll get summons very frequently. Just don't afk as the game seems to detect players that have been inactive for long periods for the purpose of filtering autosummoning.

>parrying

I wonder if that sword/shield combo will be another unique paired weapon and come as a set, or if the little stance thing that was going on there was just the shield's WA and any right-hand weapon will be held like that when you use it.

Spicy 700 AR memesword of judgement seems like a good Vicar Weapon.

Why is there no lesbos in Dark Souls? I want a female knight and a princess to get together...

So it seems like the WA is that stance and includes a shield bash guardbreak. Since stance WAs always have two moves, there's probably a second attack we haven't seen yet. Feels kinda redundant though, seeing as how the standard longsword already has a stance guardbreak move. Why would a unique longsword with a unique WA just use a different flavour of guardbreak?

>>155397041

Just as long as you backup your save before doing any CE dickery, you can reverse the invalid data warning by loading that backup.

I don't think name changing can trigger a bun because pretty much every current Vicar CE'd their name and they seem fine. I don't think anyone will exclude you just because you have a different name though, so do it however you prefer.

>>155397734
I thought CEing items could get you bunned
I remember a lot of people complaining that building their character via CE got them invalid data messages for itemswapping weapons and armour for themselves.

>hurr Priscilla 2.0, f-fanservice

Does nobody realize how shitty some of the ds1 bosses were? It's as if Priscilla's fight was some legendary amazing pinnacle of gaming of whatever, and it would be such a shame if the memory of fighting her were tarnished by a similar looking boss in ds3.

Even from the footage you can tell that the boss is going to have so many more interesting moves and attacks compared to Priscilla

That's because thos animations are ripped straight out of Bloodborne.

But wait! The player version of the weapon will be the generic scythe and firelinkgreatsword-tier WA!

Fuck DS3

>>155397912
The "fanservice" isn't about boss mechanics. Everybody knows Priscilla was piss easy and just for completionist tailcutting.

But she's one of the biggest memes in the series and the waifufaggotry and fanart surrounding her is astronomical. It's the worst kind of fan-pandering. They're not pandering to good bosses or well-liked mechanics, they're pandering to fetish artists and juvenile in-jokes from niche internet communities.

Sif's charge was different. The animation was similar but not quite the same
Watchdog's charge was a completely different animation. You could tell because it would curl its feet and glide along the ground in a physics defying manner when it charged. None of the other big dawg bosses did it quite as blatantly as that.

just use shadowplay or playstv

Imagine if the DLC is going to have the ice rapier.

>>155398603

Just make sure the bitrate is high enough (8000+ kbps).

>>155398603
Make sure the resolution you're recording is a function of the resolution you're running the game in, otherwise it comes out all fucky

And then play with your bitrate a bit. The higher the better but also the larger filesize and the more resources it hogs. Most people who record HD footage from games use a second computer that actually does the recording, because it takes too many system resources to capture footage in good quality and run the game at 60fps in good quality at the same time.

IIRC, shadowplay is more efficient for this kind of stuff.

>>155398717
Probably won't be as op as it was.

>>155398717
Outside of pre-nerf estoc, thrusting swords in 3 aren't as good as they were in 2 so it wouldn't really be an issue.

Maybe we'll get something nice like that, too.

2 bosses
1st boss - Wolf with adds

2nd Boss - Lady, followed by Crow in 2nd stage like Nameless King

>>155399287
Big M confirmed only two bosses.
Wolf is one boss, NPC may or may not be a placeholder for a real player
Scythegirl and Corvian are another boss. They're a paired, two-phase boss like Lothric&Lorian or KotS&NK.

>>155399539
Oh, is that why they randomly put in lothric and lorian and nameless king in the dlc trailer?

>>155399369

>>155399372

But 2 bosses is not enough

>>155399369
>Remeber what crap weapon that was shown in the sunken kingdom DLC got a buff?
what weapon?

>>155399631
No, that was probably just for the sake of filling out the trailer's runtime, since even with like 30 seconds of main game boss footage the trailer was only like 2 minutes long. They probably just didn't have enough DLC stuff presentable for a trailer at that point. Actually making things pretty is usually the final stage of development.

I'd say two of them were good, but as far as easy goes, three were easy unless you were going for a tail cut.

More than anything I'd just want two good bosses, not necessarily two super hard ones. DS1 only got one DLC, so if this does at least almost as much as that, I'll be content. More than anything though I'd rather just have a balance patch where rolls consume more stamina.

Holy FUCK Demon Ruins is within the first half of the game how did they either not finish it JUST LIKE LOST IZALITH or how could they decide to make it this shitty
It feels more complete than Lost Izalith geography-wise, but its still just so fucking bad why do they keep doing this to demons

>>155402103
>Angels and Serpents come from Londor
Happy ?

What soul level is the dlc going to be? I was planning on taking my 80 +8 in there but i want to get the maximum amount of co-op i can.

Well then long story short:
TGS interview with big M
The following is confirmed for AoA:
Only 4 armour sets
Only 4 spells
Only two(!) bosses
15 new weapons
DLC takes place in the Painted World of Ariandel, which is a different world from the Painted World of Ariamis and not directly related to it, all though there are some callbacks.

Big M also confirmed that after these DLCs, fromsoft will be putting the souls series behind them, but also mentioned that he didn't want to call it "over" in the off chance they might someday revisit it in the yet unforseen future.

He also mentioned that one of the weapons included a spear which could be thrown as a Javelin, and we see it both in use by pve enemies and by the player in the trailer.

>get parried by IntialD fag
>two rolls
>got hit by his spins
This weapon is pain in ass in ganks. Holy shit

So, reading the interview; bosses are:

Human then Wolf

Scythe Bitch + Bowl Bitch

Shame they've shown us all of it

>>155402128
they are LITERALLY a cut content, a lot of stuff that made it into DLC was in the files of original games and CE wizards showed a lot of it before the DLC were even released

>>155401915
>>155402140
This is implying Ashes isn't cut content

Repeating 2nd year of college, missed the amount of points for an internship by about 3(2 classes) wich i now have an entire year to do

>>155402017
Shill.

>>155402228

The two bosses seem to be "4"; I guess 2 with 2 forms each

>>155402256

>>155402227
The DLC will probably made for about level 70-80 in NG, but most people going in will probably either be at whatever SL they finished NG at (70-90) or at SL120 if they kept playing and became metafags.

>>155402227
Who the fuck knows ? Miyazaki only mentioned that it's "definitely not at the very beginning of the game, because of the difficulty level."

>>155401030
>throwing javelins
WOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>155402391
>>155402397

Okay i will just keep my guy at 80 and hope for the best.

>>155402243
If your solo it's amusing to use it against ganks

With ally phantoms I'd imagine it's a pain in the ass to have considering team attack etc. A des vult beyblade formation might be fun though.

>>155402387
A single NPC character does not quality as a boss, guy. That encounter is going to last about 20 seconds as most p[layers just R1 mash the mindless ai to death or knockdown-chain it with charged ultra R2s.

>>155402228
>fromsoft will be putting the souls series behind them
I thought it was just Miyazaki.

>>155402228
Well thanks From for spoiling the only two bosses in advance then. Fuck From and the bullshit they do.

>>155402620
Miyazaki is the CEO of Fromsoft, guy.

>>155402387
Calling it now. Wolf will summon another player if you're online or that NPC if you're offline.

are you guys actually excited about the dlc? seems like more of the same shit.

JUST IMAGINE GLADIATOR EVENTS FAGGOTS

>>155402620
God, I wish. A new souls that he didn't have the opportunity to ruin? Sign me the fuck up.

>>155402703
inb4 the Javelin toss is so slow and telegraphed it will never, ever hit another player and can be rollBSed on reaction.

>>155402385
>shill

the trifecta is now complete

youre a joke, nigger

>>155402204
Just feels small once you know it and has an early boss, that's it. It was a bad idea, but I'd rather play a failed experiment rather than an incomplete one like LI

On top of that the smallness at least lets you get it over with, you can grab the first two estus items then fight the worm in a single minute.

>>155402685
all my hype is gone

>>155402761
If it's like literally any other projectile in the game you can just walk sideways to avoid it.

>>155402761
the windup animation looks quite fast on a player
it won't be a top tier move but i see no reason for it being bad, especially given that you don't need to switch to any different weapon to do it

AWOOOOOOO.

>big picture mode doesn't work on das3

FUCKING CHARACTER LIMITS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

>>155402769
Yeah, well, even if I am at least I don't have trouble sleeping at night.

Good job me...

>>155402739
Next up
DaS4 by B-team again.

>>155402685
I'll buy it but the feeling of venturing into the unknown is gone now that they showed the ONLY TWO BOSSES of the DLC.
>inb4 don't watch the trailer
I didn't but everybody else told me.

>>155402685
I'm way more hyped than after the first DLC trailer which was painfully lackluster.
Music, areas, bosses and even some weapons are extremely cool.

>>155403029
There is nothing I would love more

Being on the side of the ganker was an eye opening and enjoyable experience.
