One does, sort of. One of them will run over to a gate and then stand in front of it, stuck in place, and the gate stops working. They don't play out the whole animation, but the game acknowledges the AI trying to. Since they can't complete the first gate closing though, none of the others do.
>>

enjoy playing a game with actual truckloads of weapon, armor, and moveset variety, anon.

And remember, even though Three Crowns is all present in SotFS, you should play the zones in the order they were released as DLC: Shulva, Brume Tower, and then Loyce.

DS2 is the only game in series where virtually all "unique" and boss weapons in base game (with the exception of MLGS) have generic animations even on special attacks, at best taken from another weapon classes. Even base DS1 had more unique moves and made a much better job at making weapons feel unique.

haven't played since week 1 of dks3, thinking of coming back for the DLC. Is there any confirmation on it's length/general quality? Do we know anything about the other DLC?

Also, have they made grinding ears a little bit easier? either by fixing the summoning or making the drop rate a little bit higher? I had the mimic hat, and the ring and it was just a fucking mess, I spent hours and hours and barely got to stage 1.

DS3's paired weapons alone have more unique moves than entire powerstancing system of DS2 thanks to unique rolling and running l1s. Base DS2 had nothing like homobeam or Falling Bolt, it had nothing like warcry movesets, it had nothing like stances or ds3's black knight weapons. I remember laughing like a madman when i understood that unique attack of spider fang was taken from whip moveset with low-res projectile texture slapped on top.

i hate character creators, i always end up spending hours in them, and even when im finally satisfied, 5 minutes into the game and i already want to create a new one. Is this autism? OCD? "Indecisiveness"?

I hate forgiving bosses.
I know making bosses forgiving is good design, but I don't like it personally.
I loved a lot of the harder DaS2 bosses, particularly the DLC ones, because their huge health pools made the fight take a while, and meant that you had to be consistent or else you'd simply run out of heals quick enough to use mid-combat. That also meant that you had to actually master their more difficult patterns so that you could avoid losing health (or straight up dying) whenever they were used.

One of my biggest gripes with 3 is how every difficult boss moveset is either attached to a boss that does low damage or has a very low health pool. I don't have to learn champion gundyr's moveset because just by attacking whenever I think I can attack, I kill him before I've even gone through half my estus. My mistakes don't matter because I can make 15 of them and he has the healthpool for 5.

Wrong. Per every NG+ cycle, a new skeleton gets put into the Majula mansion basement. If you wonder why there are bloodstains in the mansion, it's because of NG+7 skeleton horde probably.
>>
>>156873623
Kek, who was even talking about enemy placements? The encounter design in DS2 is extremely shit, but not hard in any shape or for and not the main reason DS2's pve is liquid garbage. Trash level design with no depth and complexity of DS1 or 3 locations, extremely boring enemies and worst bosses in franchise are just a cherry on top as well.
>>
>>156873593
Bad.
Dark Spells softcap their main scaling stat earlier (and thus gain less total damage from them) and compensate for this by scaling off a secondary stat. However, they ONLY scale off that secondary stat when paired with a casting tool specialized for them. The casting tools for dark spells are all bad, so even with this double-scaling, end up with significantly less spell buff than the optimal casting tool for that magic school.

So your options are to use a dark-based casting tool and end up as a sub-par mage who can only use dark spells (of which there are only two offensive ones) with a significantly higher stat investment than standard mages, or to just shoehorn your dark spell onto a standard caster build and have its damage be consequently lowered and thus the spell drastically underperform relative to your stat investment. Technically speaking, Dark Edge should be the strongest melee sorcery by far, but because of this shitty scaling system and the badness of the izalith catalyst, it ends up only doing about 350 damage a hit in pvp (with all the relevant boosts) instead of the 500 it ought to be dealing.

DaS2 had extremely inconsistent PvE. Some areas like Forest / Lost Bastille / No Man's Wharf / Shrine of Ameme / Huntsman's Copse / Brightstone Cove Tseldora / Earthen Peak had well thought out mob placements and pretty solid level design, but then you had dumb shit like the 15 Syan knights in Undead Crypt or Harvest Valley with those big guys who couldn't even hit you if you took the intended route through the level.

That said, DaS2 put more effort into it's NG+ and had cool shit like a boss encounter appearing early on NG+ and some boss encounters changed on NG+. It's a shame they didn't do any of that for DS3 or invent new gimmicks to NG+.

My idea for NG+ would be that bosses would get one extra move or feature that would be triggered if the host had a phantom in the fight or was on a NG+ cycle to make the fight more challenging.

Is DaS3 the only souls game where bosses finally became harder instead of easier when you summon in phantoms? People having 30% less hp really fucks with them, and they get incredibly close to 1-shot range, whereas bosses actually get meaningful amounts of hp to counteract the added damage

You can't
The game freezes her HP bar at a certain %, so even if you deal enough damage to instantkill her, it'll only reduce her HP bar to like 30% and she'll retreat.
If you use CE to kill her then it just resets the encounter once you cross the boss fog. There's no death animation for killing her at the special encounter.

The first Giant Fight with Yhorm that I did, I left him the same speed as usual, which makes him extremely easy to fight with increased mobility from also being giant. I did another fight where I doubled his speed to offset that, which I put a video of on Youtube.

It's really fun to mess around with. I almost have it setup in a way that I can release it as a usable public table, but there is a problem with easily making weapons scale up with player size. They have separate values from the player their size is based on and it behaves really inconsistently for making pointers. Right now, it would pretty much work as long as you just wanted to go around punching things, but any weapon you held would be the same size as always.

Playing DaS3 only really reminds you of just how many good and fun features DaS2 had. Its world is worse than DaS1's despite being larger, true, but at least it wasn't straight linear progression, and spells and covenants actually felt properly implemented.

As flawed as DaS2 is, the real shame is how badly DaS3 dropped the ball in terms of learning what to do right from it.

Yeah, kinda. The thing is that LockOn is set to break once you get a certain distance away from the target, and it's extremely easy to get that far away when you're giant.

I'll never have as much fun with a Souls game as I had on my first Das2 playthrough: that comfy Majula, cutie Emerald Herald , Heide, that view from Sinner's Rise, Iron Keep, Drangleic Castle, that beautiful Shrine of Amana (those spellcasters completely ruin the experience), the Crypt, Dragon Aerie and Dragon Shrine, the amazing landscape of the DLCs.

It definitely had some great moments. People like to shit on the bosses and yes, there are quite some awful bosses, but there are also some really great ones like Fume Knight, Ivory King, Sinh, Alonne, Darklurker, Looking Glass Knight, Velstadt, even Smelter Demon is pretty neat. Aldia essentially becoming immortal and fighting you for shits and giggles is also kinda cool.

People who shit on DaS2 bosses are complete nostalgiafags.
They're about as good as your average DaS1 boss, but since the density is higher and there are more of them, it feels a bit more tedious so it's popular to call them "worse" and "easier" when in fact there can be drawn a very obvious line between old gen souls games (des, das1 and das2) and new gen souls games (BB, das3) bosses. Most from the latter category tend to be much more aggressive and with more elaborate attack patterns/complex movesets.

Smelter remains my favourite main game boss in any souls game. He had a great moveset, amazing BGm and just the right amount of tension in the fight while also just feeling satisfying as fuck to beat on.

Because the multiplayer interactions in 2 were really well-optimized and lightweight, so they could afford the resources to do something like that.

DaS3 is the opposite, the multiplayer code is poorly optimized, slow and cumbersome and handles resources poorly so something like tagging a half dozen bloodstains at a time would be too much for it. Even as-is, bloodstains bug out very frequently when you touch them and don't even display a ghost.

Bed of Chaos is the worst boss.
You just run to left and slash the orb, do it the same on the right, fall onto root in the pit, slash your way through branches and kill the bug.

The Bed of Chaos was a product of trying to push out a finished game a few months earlier than planned. The entirety of Lost Izalith was probably slapped together in two hours some late Tuesday night.

Smelter Demon has some pretty great stat balance, and he will absolutely fuck you if you cant dodge him. It doesnt help that I ALWAYS fight him with Lucatiel, but he is never not a challenge for me. Without Lucatiel, I'd now be missing a health sponge to take the heat off of me when shit hits the fan. Dude's tough, has some great sound assets, great animations and follow-through attack style, his mixups can get you killed, and his flame buff is actually devastating but counterable. You roll in a water pot, cast Flash Sweat, and put on the Flame Quartz ring and now you just have to contend with his massive physical damage and Wrath of Gods-esque explosions.
Not a bad boss for DaS2.

At least BoC has some sort of presentation to it, the cutscene is somewhat cool looking and I feel like a badass riding down the ramp even its a disguised loading screen

The first half of Iron Keep is always a pain in the ass in one way or another, unless I can just 1 shot all the knights from a distance with dark magic or lightning spears. But its a pain in the ass that is navigable and beatable with some thought put into it, and it actually feels rewarding and relieving to finally get past. The only thing I would say is truly bullshit is the mile-wide aggro range of knights you didnt even know were there before they started running you down at sanic speeds. My very first playthrough that I got there, I died so many times before Smelter Demon that all the knights just stopped respawning, making it far easier for me to actually progress. And then it doesnt help Smelter Demon killed me a dozen times too.
Even if most deaths are from bullshit tracking arrows, or falling into lava, or getting gangbanged by sanic knights, at least the difficulty wasnt from input reading or estus punishing. Maybe DaS3 needs more pits. Past a certain point, enemies just arent threatening on their own to make things a challenge anymore. Pits equalize things.

There was confirmation a little while back that they're working on a new Armored Core, which lines up with a previous statement from Miyazaki where he said they were working on something new and on a "new spin" on one of their older franchises. They supposedly also have as many as three games contracted with Sony, supposedly one of which might be a PSVR title, so some take the "new spin" comment as implying they might be making King's Field VR.

Bamco was just their publisher in the rest of the world, but From is self-published in Japan. Part of why they could take their time with Demon's Souls and release such a well-polished product right out the gates.

Bloodborne was published without Namco at all, and Sony loaned them dev resources to get it done too. The initial release of BB was surprisingly stable compared to the clusterfuck that was DaS1 and 2 on release.

From's only games with Namco were DaS1, 2, and 3, and the series is officially over now so they probably just had a typical three game contract with them. Unless Fromsoft takes up another contract with them, they'll probably use another publisher like Atlus who treated them well in the past.

Yeah, but it's a choice that comes with benefits. By accepting the dark sigil, you get bonus attributes with a certain infusion, access to a special merchant with unique consumables and spells, and a few extra summons you wouldn't normally have. Giving up on hollowing loses these benefits, but there's no downsides to being hollow in the first place so there's no reason not to take the freebies.

I actually like BoC. It feels like it's truly out of control. From should have just taught the player how to deal with a puzzle boss.

You do at least lose out on quest stuff if you kill an NPC when you first meet them. Killing Anri on sight will lock out the Evil Eye Ring, a couple gestures, and all of Yuria's stuff, for instance, and killing Greirat will prevent you from getting his expanded inventory at the end of the game.

I liked thew fact that DaS2 gave you a glut of healing resources, but also designed the game around pressuring those resources. Fights like that where having a lifegem constantly on the go didn't give you unlimited HP were really great.

It feels like DaS3 gave you too many estus and din't have enough forms of attrition to really pressure your estus. It's almost hard to run out.

Technically speaking, a +1% increase can be as much as a double drop rate boost for items with a 1% or lower drop rate. Luck's main use is as an offensive stat though, such as with Anri's Straight Sword and it's fuckmassive Luck scaling, the Hollow infusion giving Luck damage scaling to your weapons, or the Man-Grub Staff giving Luck scaling to your sorceries.

All but a few weapons are better as Refined than Hollow, though, and the Man-Grub Staff is shitty shit even for shit. So in practice, it's more for Anri's Sword and the few weapons that like Hollow.

This is why I unironically prefer casters for PvE, and dark casters so the enemies don't die as fast. Needing to juggle estus and ashtus makes the gameplay feel better.

Weapon arts should've been equippable to attunement slots, like spells. Make 3-5 weapon arts per weapon class, twinkly and boss weapons with a unique skill are the only ones who can use it even if you can equip the skill without the weapon, and give weapon arts str/dex requirements to use them. This way, melee builds actually have a reason to invest in Attunement and use ashen estus instead of just running around with 6 Att and a simple caestus.

I want a grizzled old war vet who'll teach you weapon arts and fancy tricks for your gear, like a hilt bash for straight swords to give them a strike damage attack or kidney stab for daggers to slow opponents movement speed.

The entirety of DS3 seems to be littered with half-baked broken mechanics like this. Shit like Sin, Frostbite, the entire Darkmoon covenant, the completely missing NG+, magic in general, more than half of the NPC quests, or fucking poise.

The number of dead-end design decisions is pretty inexcusable truthfully. Its the kind of shit that I would expect from some early access indie trash game. I don't understand how even after three fucking games they still can't seem to get the time to finish a single one of them.
>>
>>156879030
You don't even know how item discovery works. it's a multiplicative thing. Your drop rate will be base chance X item discovery/100. This means a luck level adds 0,01 percent to your odds, making 99 luck worse than just a symbol of avarice.
Anri's used to be about BBS tier, but since the nerf you might as well use any other SS, it's not like your playstyle changes anyway. The status increase is also minimal and hollow weapons are actually inferior to refined with almost no exception (almost every comparison assumes more points invested into the hollow build for some reason to justify it) and the few cases where you they're better the AR increase is so small it might not be there.

Luck is awful

Hey there all you cool dudes and not dudes, I need some opinions here.
I wanna make an SL 120 Hexer, and I wanna use a Dark Astora Greatsword, and have 40 endurance. However, here's the main issue; I would have to be SL 140 to fully optimize. That'd be 40 Vigor, 40 Attunement, 40 Endurance, 16 Strength, 18 Dexterity, 40 Intelligence, and 40 Faith. What should I drop? I was looking to see if 30/30 Int/Fai would be good but it drops my Astora Greatsword AR pretty far. I could drop Vigor down a bit, but that lowers my survivability. I could drop Endurance a bit, but going from max stamina on my refined to lower stamina here would hurt. I could also simply choose a smaller weapon with less requirements, but Astora is fantastic. 610 AR at 40/40 is beautiful. Basically I just need some help on what I should drop to be SL 120.
Thanks friends.

I won't ever try and say "X build with 40str/40dex/40lck is better with Hollow than Refined", because for the vast majority of cases this isn't true. A Refined weapon with 55str/55dex will get more AR than the Hollow version with an equal number of levels invested, except for a very few exceptions like Onikiri and Ubidachi. Most of those exceptions are due to weapons that are inexplicably bad with the Refined infusion.

I was talking about builds with 40 in Luck and 40 in one other stat. Dropping 20+ levels out of Vigor or Endurance to make room for extra Luck when you could get even more AR out of just going over 40/40 is retarded.

Anri's Straight Sword, however, is actually still pretty damn good. Its nerf just made it worse as a standalone weapon, but its super low equip requirements and extremely good scaling in a single stat make it arguably the best buff target in the game. The slight physical Faith scaling and additional secondary effects are just icing on the very delicious cake.

>summoning doesn't cut your souls gained
Except it does. Having one summon means half the souls, two is one third, three is a quarter. Same thing happens in co-op if you're the summon, which makes co-op on bosses incredibly unrewarding.
>every invader killed is 2 free estus
Sure. if they never fight back it's two "free" estus. Doesn't excuse the healing disparity between host/phantoms though.
>mobs randomly "dropping" estus
Kind of like mobs randomly dropping humanity in DaS1. I imagine that was the idea behind its implementation. Not the worst thing in the world.
>you can password summon your SL 804 friend to carry you through the game
With their stats being scaled down to your level. It's not like Bloodborne pre-patch where you could literally summon a max level character at the start of the game. You can do the same thing with a competent partner to carry you.
>No downside to killing NPCs (you can always use their ashes)
Except losing all the items elated to their quests, like Greirat's stock, spells, slabs, etc.
>Very few traps and ambushes (90% of which are the Thralls) in the game
Agreed. My god the amount of thrall pop-up attacks is obnoxious.
>No penalty for leaving covenants
DaS2/BB say hi. Depends on you opinion if this is really a problem, but it's been the norm rather than the exception.
>No sin system
There sort of is. It's just incredibly half baked like a number of things in their recent games (BB/DaS3).
>Bonfires everywhere
This one is just weird (not your complaint, but the actual situation). The DaS2 bonfires made sense even if they were too frequent, though even then it made sense in the context of the more limited durability. DaS3 just combines BB's lamp placement system with DaS1 and the result is more absurd than anything. It feels like they intended to make it convenient, though why bother having boss bonfires if you'll add another one 10 feet away?

They don't anymore, but people used to have them back when weapon arts were usable with 1 FP. One of the more annoying and effective builds would run around with Twin Prince's Greatsword spamming the beam at range or the fire sweep for trades and there was nothing you could do about it.

But even then, the lack of WA variety is just another facet of the problem.

They shouldn't put miracles or rings behind like 30 covenant rewards with a 1% drop rate if the covenant is dead. The rewards for darkmoons shoudve been weapons or sometthing like the painted guardian set/sword while darkmoon blade and ring was in the rafters in the prison towers.

>>156880469
>40 Attunement
You don't need 40 attunement, you dumbass. The sixth slot is useless and arguably even five slots is too many for a hexer, and FP gains past 30 aren't useful since your flasks only recover 200. Also, the lowest possible SL for the build you described is SL160, assuming you started as Pyromancer and put nothing into Vitality or Luck.

You're gonna need to cut 20 levels to get down to SL140, and another 20 to hit SL120 instead. Although, using an ultra greatsword on a caster build is madness anyways.

But the rolls in DaS3 are actually well-implemented. Enemies and bosses are aggressive and force you to use those free rolls.

Well, let me put it this way.

Dark spells in this game are weak. There's no reason to use them over pyromancy, which is great. And there are maybe 3-4 good pyro spells, two of which are redundant with each other.

Not that a dark astora greatsword needs spells to back it up. You might get some mileage out of Black Serpent or Affinity to force rolls, but for the most part your hands will be occupied 2handing the weapon instead of casting.

It's still pretty rough. 29 END gives 3 stamina unlike the levels before it. lower STR and 2H only. Mugenmonkey makes it seem like the last level of INT/FTH gives slightly less AR than the ones before it (4 vs 6 from 1 level in each). If you want 24 ATT, get some +stat rings for INT and/or FTH and/or DEX.
I don't really recommend this but it's the best I can come up with for what you seem to be looking for.
Maybe check ingame for stamina breakpoints for swinging your weapon multiple times and modify your END based on that.

Long story short, after AC4 was a financial flunk, SEGA refused to publish 4A internationally. The game's global release was in limbo for several months until a deal was struck with Ubisoft. Ubisoft botched the translation in a lot of places, changing important exposition, turning monologues into gibberish, confusing gender all over the place and mixing up in-universe jargon. They turned the game's plot borderline incoherent.

>>
>>156883067
I don't but Sony will usually have the most players for any From game.

Iirc it was sort of close for NA numbers between ps3 and 360 but I doubt Microsoft will be able to match Sony this generation for from games because of BB and maybe new Sony only games .

If you are a big fan of From I just wouldn't recommend going with Microsoft this gen

Of course none of this means anything if you have lots of disposable income

Overleveling doesn't matter so much in DaS3, you can still find people all the way up to SL250. The question you should be asking is what kind of pvp you want to do. Early PvE invasions or co-op? End game NG stuff? Covenant or darkmoon pvp?

>>156883927
>They aren't making AC for pc. It would be a financial disaster.

Unless Sony is paying for exclusivity, a PC Armored Core is probably the only way they can continue the series. It's consistently underperformed on consoles in terms of sales, so they are very likely going to be reliant on the PC fanbase they've gained from the popularity of the Souls series to make a new entry in the Armored Core series financially viable.

>I thought FAI don't give scaling to physical damage

The whole point of the Blessed infusion is that it gives Faith-scaling physical damage to your weapon, which can let you bypass high lightning defenses on stuff like players. Because all players have 40 Endurance, and thus high enough lightning defense to make Blessed weapons do a little bit more damage than Lightning ones against them.

There are also some physical damage miracles, like Divine Pillars of Light, Wrath of the Gods, and Emit Force. And then there's a physical pyromancy, Boulder Heave.

Wolnir's Holy Sword, Morne's Hammer, Lothric's Holy Sword, Anri's Straight Sword, and the Saint Bident all get physical damage from Faith. Of these, the Saint Bident and Anri's Sword are buffable which lets you further boost them with the same stat they already scale with, but their Faith scaling is also kinda minuscule so the effect from Faith alone isn't all that great. Rather, the Saint Bident is better off as Heavy with 27 or 40 Str and a 60fth Darkmoon Blade slapped on top.

I don't think there's a single case of INT giving physical damage, though.

>>
>>156884327

It's kinda vague, but weapons with small or basically insignificant magical effects are generally buffable. Stuff like Anri's Straight sword, or the Executioner Greatsword. Or in DeS, Geri's Stiletto or the Meat Cleaver.

>>156884389

It is a glitch that lets you buff weapons that aren't supposed to be buffable. You do it by equipping a buffable weapon, using a gesture, pressing the button for the spell at the precise right time near the end of the animation and switching weapons before the animation is complete.

Keep in mind most people will call you a cheater for this, and also most of those weapons can't be buffed normally for a reason.
>>
>>156884541
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kamGgaIRZWM
This video has a good demonstration of how to do it. It might be a little hard for you if youre new and might require you to organize your inventory to do it quickly, but basically, you use the actiong queuing system in DaS3 to buff a buffable weapon while also switching to an unbuffable while gesturing.
Its a glitch, but for the sake of Hidden Weapon, probably wouldnt be too unfair or game-breaking.

It depends on your weapon and starting class.
If you're using heavy shit, vit is valuable because the difference between 11 vit with Yhorm's great machete and 20 vit is the difference between ~13ABS and 25, which, combined with the flat defense boost, is more efficient than vigor beyond 27. basically, if a small increase in vitality can allow you to minmax a substantial increase in ABS, vit is worthwhile for those few points. The core issue is that most good weapons are already so light that you can afford 25-27ABS without any investment and then there's absolutely no point in investing in vit at all.

It doesn't matter which fucking game it is, the fact that's it was on 360 is the operative point here. Armored Core isn't a Sony exclusive and it's fairly likely to get a PC port next game.

They talked in interviews about Armored Core's future and said publishers were not eager to greenlight another game because of its historically mediocre sales. The biggest thing that could have changed is publishers being willing to test out a new market, the PC playerbase.

This is the last thing armored core needs.

It will just die really fast. Ac is not dark souls.

For it to be a stronger game for the player it needs to be a console exclusive to force as many players on one platform so it doesn't instantly die like the last few armored core games.

At least half of its player base will be from Japan so they should just go with a ps4 exclusive.

Young Dragoncrest/Great Swamp/Morne's ring don't give enough extra damage in PvP to justify equipping them even when alongside the bigger rings.

So really, it's more like casters have 1-2 mandatory rings.

The quality of the Soulsborne games is inversely proportional to the breast size of their levelup waifus. Bonfires don't have tits and the plain doll is flat, and DaS1 and BB were the best. The maiden in black has a modest chest and DeS was pretty good. The firekeeper has slightly larger than average breasts and DaS3 is mediocre. The emerald herald is the bustiest and DaS2 is the worst in the series.

I honestly don't know much about DS1 in terms of cut content and the development process, but the placement of Anastasia, Lady of the Darkmoon, and Quelaag's Sister makes me wonder if there was ever a concept where you could only level up at select bonfires, each one having their own level-up waifu. Firelink and the first Anor Londo fire especially seem like viable spots to function as a sort of hub for parts of the game.

No because they already have a ps4 for blood borne.

You are an idiot or never played From games outside of dark souls series if you believe PC would be blessed to match ps4 player base.

AC does not sale well outside of Japan and NA and the Japan sales dwarf NA.
Japan players almost exclusively play on Sony.

A PC port of AC would just be dead on arrival and further separate the community.

There were barely enough players to do anything in the last generation of AC. Separating the community further would just kill it off.

The only way AC survives is the to go console exclusive, an fix the pvp balance, and make some dlc that is profitable instead of the shit dlc they've done for AC in the past.

Much more. You have chloranthy, you have cat ring, you have rings for protection and regen, you have utility rings and you can use them in any combination you want because each build has at least 1 free ring slot after taking mandatory ones, sometimes even two, not to mention hardswaps.

Please stop.

DS3 rolls are knocked because they're risk free i-frames that can be spammed to no end without thought.
No roll scaling also means that you never have a reason not to be 70% weight, despite their retarded decision to copy paste Flynns ring. If poise existed, roll scaling would be a draw back to heavy armor and allow as to see some lighter sets for people who want the goofus roll spam.

They also removed back step i-frames, so now your only valid response to anything is to roll.
Even your Bloodborne comparison falls to pieces, BB was mechanically designed for the fast passed combat. Healing hp back on hit and ranged parries on healing were important.

Nah m8, they had plans for her. I think the original story went that Priscilla was, of course, the crossbreed of a dragon and a god/human. This gave her powers even the gods feared, mainly occult powers super fitting to slay other gods with. They lock her away, and thats why she's in the painted world. Thats the version we play in our game. Originally, they planned to have her as your journey buddy who would guide you and become pivotal to taking down the lords and relinking the flame.

Priscilla's power was Lifehunt, which was basically a threat to anything with a soul, including gods. The occult modifier was only on her dagger, which she doesn't use personally and is separate from its Lifehunt power.

It's fan-theory mostly, but highly supported by all of her dialogue and how you find her ring on a female corpse at Artorias' grave.

Are we discussing pve or pvp here?

Because as I mentioned before, the point of many bosses is to capitalize on the freeness of rolls. Fights like Twin Princes or Pontiff, especially if done with heavier weapons, practically require you to be able to roll at any time, even with a sliver of stamina. I understand it's possible to beat the game without rolling, but let's assume the average player otherwise there's no point to any discussion.

I never compared anything to Bloodborne. I was criticizing the other anon for saying that Bloodborne's dodge system being carried over was a supposedly sad fact. Bloodborne does have undeniably better mechanics, however.

But I won't defend pvp because it's always been shit in every Souls game.

No lore supports the possibility that either Artorias or Ciaran ever fought the dragons. Gough led the dragonslayer archers, Ornstein directly killed them with his spear alongside Nameless King and Dragonslayer Armour, Artorias fought abyss spawn, and Ciaran hunted Gwyn's enemies. She isn't exactly equipped to fight dragons anyways, her weapons are more suited for assassinations and fighting human-sized enemies.

Technically speaking, Artorias might've never fought abyss spawn. The abyss didn't exist until Manus made it, and when Arty ran off to fight it like a proper valiant knight he got fucked hard. His reputation as the abysswalker is completely made up.

Some part of the Artorias legend is true, else the Covenant of Artorias wouldn't exist and his weapon wouldn't do bonus damage to darkwraiths and only darkwraiths.

Artorias lived and died before New Londo was ever founded. We know this because the Chasm of the Abyss in the DLC shares a location with New Londo in the base game, and Manus's boss room overlaps with the Four Kings boss room. There is no possible way for him to ever have fought the Darkwraiths. Alvina even tells you this outright, stating that Artorias never traversed the abyss and that his legend (what you see in the base game) is a lie. The Covenant of Artorias ring, by Alvina's own statement, cannot be anything other than a fabrication.

>>156889054

You're completely wrong about how the divine effect on his uncursed sword works. It does bonus damage to the Four Kings, the black blobs in New Londo, Nito, and all skeleton types in the Catacombs. It does not do extra damage to the Darkwraith enemies in New Londo, and it certainly doesn't only do extra damage to them.

That's most encounters in DaS2 :^)

Seriously though, with CE you could spawn the numbers of NPCs needed. However, the best game for it would be Demon's Souls because of the human soldiers (alternatively Dark Souls 2 using the human versions of Hollow Soldiers).

>And would you be able to beat it?
Given enough space to maneuver in, easily. If you can beat 15 trash mobs that come at you simultaneously, you can beat a 100 as long as you don't get mobbed by so many of them simultaneously that you don't have any room to dodge.
>>
>>156889479
I'd probably stay at around 30 or so, since there are people who will go to Cathedral before Abyss Watchers. 40 is more like the level you'd be at to take on Wolnir, and around 50 for Sullivan.

It's hell trying to coop with multiple melee characters. A lot of the time you can't reach enemies because everyone is to retarded to not trip you up and not approach from different angles.

Especially when it comes to bosses and pvp.

Also ranged damage is really good in pvp in anything more than a 1v1. The problem is ranged stuff sucks against most mobs in coop since by the time your damage flies off its either overkill or too late to help much.

Black Serpent. It used to be shit because the pathfinding was so bad it could only be described as the opposite, but the last patched buffed it so hard it can pathfind up trees now.

Big pyro nukes would be Chaos Bed Vestiges or Great Chaos Fire Orb, or you could just follow with Black Fire Orb instead if you don't want people to get too pissy for comboing spells. Boulder Heave is another nifty setup, and can stun people for long enough to tag them with slow shit like Profaned Flame or Sacred Flame. Or Vestiges again. Hell, you can follow most anything with Vestiges.

You can even take advantage of people trying to steal your Warmth by spitting status clouds on it.

That would shock him even more, you moron. Crystal Soul Spear got nerfed so hard you can barely use it against bosses anymore, Dark Bead is gone and Pursuers is hardly usable and barely even counts as a sorcery.

DaS3 pyromancy is the closest the game gets to DaS1 casting.
>>
>>156891608
There's a difference between modding tools, and developer tools. It's impossible to fix core features that are baked into the game engine without rebuilding it from scratch (and then forcing players to download huge files all over again) by using mere modding tools. And it's stupid to think that the average player will have a better understanding of balance than the ones who created that system in the first place. Suggesting shit like "enable poise" or "remove seed" are plain ignorant of just how such changes will make the game as a whole worse in ways that they never thought of.
>>
>>156891489
They don't really.
Only black flame(and grater combustion) and power within are better there.
Rapport is now far more usable, fireballs are more free aimable, whip stunlocks through its whole duration, iron flesh gives poise in a poiseless game, still a retard bait but the trades are even more in your favor.
That is for PvP, but for PvE, the only reason you have the illusion they were stronger was the awfully balanced pyromancy system which didn't scale with anything but humanity and your flame, so you actually had late game damage much sooner than a late game weapon, while the spells aren't necessarily better.
Pyro in 3 can roll over every single boss effortlessly by spamming vestiges(faster than any ranged spell in 1) and/or black flame, which you get relatively easy. It's just that now instead of allowing you to max the flame and use no stats, you need to actually invest into it.

The only DS1 pyromancies that are better than DS3 pyromancies is great combustion and black flame. Virtually in every single other aspect DS3 pyros completely BTFO ds1 pyros. If DS1 had Vestiges it would've changed the entire meta. If DS1 had DS3 surge damage ticks it would've changed the meta. If DS1 had Black Serpent with huge poise damage it would've changed the meta.

>>
>>156892128
Chaos pyros said they scaled with humanity, but in reality they didn't gain a single point of extra damage from humanity. Maybe they were supposed to, but the mechanic didn't work for spells.

Black Flame in DaS1 was weaker than it is in DaS3, especially considering the more favorable damage type. Black Flame in DaS1 did slightly lower damage than Great Combustion, whereas BF in 3 does more than twice as much.

>>156892486
Casting speed. CSS in DaS3 takes almost two seconds to fire. So, no, you can't combo it for shit. Vestiges works with combos because its so fast to fire and the hitbox is roughly the size and shape of Saturn.

CSS is still the highest damage spell in the game, partly because sorcery can use the Crown of Dusk to boost it higher than pyromancy can. A full hit with Great Chaos Fire Orb is still pretty damn strong, though.

Damage and even speed if we're talking about max casting speed. It does around 60% of the damage of DS1' CSS at best, with all damage boosters possible.

At that point they become third party developers.

But as the other anon said, it doesn't work that way. And due to the way Dark Souls' online system works, you can't break the playerbase of Dark Souls into tiny islets of players running their own versions of the games.

And you seriously overestimate the willingness and capacity of most modders. People would not do things like "fix" Lost Izalith, they'd make their own retarded Smash Brothers Melee-Dark Souls edition battle pvp arenas or Chalice Dungeon tier "challenge areas".

My other "main" video game general is STALKER general and the people in that game's community have done a lot of impressive feats, including re-enabling features that the developers half left in the game and things that previously existed only in design documents before the game was wildly scaled back. Modders also managed to impress the developer team enough to add some cut features back into the later titles after seeing how the modders restored them to the first game. I know the potential of capable and dedicated modders but there's no profit motive for Fromsoft to support a primarily console series by enabling people to create mods 90% of which would be shit and it would take years before people would start to understand the level editor for example. For example with Stalker's level editor there's no documentation on it and it's one of the big stumbling blocks for aspiring level designers.

the copies die in literally 1 hit. and if you really fuck up, you can still summon leeroy
>>156894871
bleed does a fuckton of damage but using bleed weapons doesn't kill things faster than normal weapon except for the bleed-weak bosses and for really high ng+ for mobs. it's mostly because you don't have rouge to apply it in 2 hits

Fewer bosses are weak to it, fewer weapons inflict it, you can't Carthus Rouge things.

You cast a spell

Then you cast another spell

>40att + darkmoon ring
Holy shit, why? Is it just because you're trying to use two different spell schools for testing purposes? Under normal circumstances, 5 spell slots works out to be just right. Affinity's homing is really bad in DaS3, by the way, and the damage is kinda low. Black Flame and Farron Flashsword are redundant with each other, as are CBV and CSS. Soul Stream has an extremely long casting time, and if you're trying to use it in lock-on range you're too close. The main advantage is its long range and easy manual aiming.

Side note, pyro scaling is different in 3 than it was in 2. Instead using Int+Fth = 60, it uses normal scaling for both stats and softcaps at 40 in each. Dark spells are the same way. So, if you're trying to use pyro and dark on a 60int build, they'll do fuckall for damage.

The only bad weapons in 3 for PvE are scythes and whips, everything else is doable with trades.

I don't know about you, but the fact the best STR build in 1 is 2 handing, never attacking and only ever backstabbing AND still is inferior to dex is disappointing as fuck if you want to actually smash things.

Ganking is definetly viable in 1, the invaded player even has an infinite range heal and they can easily turtle and cover each other's back if they're experienced. The massive level advantage they can have also allows them to pull off extremely broken stuff.

Lower skill PvP in both games always has fancy attacks. R1 just happens because it always has the lowest risk of any weapon attack since Souls PvP naturally gravitates towards passive

Ganking IS viable, but invaders have more tools to fight back.

>only R1s
Lol.
DS1 has extremely useful R2s and due to poise, you can actually sometimes pull them off. There are no "weapon arts", but there are special abilities that would be weapon arts if they were in DaS3. But in DaS1 they eat durability.

Does being embered matter when summoning dark spirits?
