Yeah, Curse Ward Greatshield is kinda shit as a greatshield (even Lothric Knight Shield has almost as much stability), the only good thing it has is the all-round defenses (which most greatshields have) and the curse buildup reduction (which is worthless in PVP). And CKGS is one of the worst ultras, at 40/25 Str/Dex it literally does more damage as Refined or stock than as Heavy.

Kudos on the effort, but the odds were pretty stacked against you from the get-go.

>>156968229
>UGS that wastes its WA on an elemental buff, literally just a reskin of Lorian's GS
Lorian's buff was tied to its stomp WA. This one is strictly a self-buff, meaning it doesn't have to be 'balanced' alongside the attack it's strapped to. Also, judging by the buff animation, that ain't an UGS.

>>156968438

If you really think all the 3 Bamco Souls games were bad, then you're a fucking sap for buying DS2 after 1 and especially retarded for buying 3 after 2.

Fool me once, shame on you...

>>156968613
>meaning it doesn't have to be 'balanced' alongside the attack it's strapped to.
None of them are.
Every elemental self-buff WA adds 80 flat elemental damage, regardless of whether it requires you to complete an extremely long WA attack animation, like the Profaned GS and Swordspear, or is applied near-instantly like a resin bundle as with Lorian's GS.

The best part is that if it;s anything like the Profaned GS, where it lacks innate elemental damage outside of buff uptime, then that +80 dark damage will have virtually no impact on its actual damage in pvp.

>>156968596
>How did artorias possibly fail at killing manus when he can easily kill chosen undead? And why doesn't the chosen undead succumb to the abyss?
Artorias had "nary a murmur of dark", while chosen undead "smelled very human indeed". Artorias probably didn't even get close to Manus, and got fucked up just by touching the abyss around him. Chosen undead, being undead and a walking humanity pinata, didn't have that weakness.

>AND WHY ARE GOUGH AND CIERAN THERE BUT THEY DIDN'T HELP ARTORIAS?

Because Artorias was the only one brave and dumb enough to walk face-first into a giant miasma of anti-life, and the others noped out when they saw what happened.

That's not a torch, you ignorant slave. It's a consumable item that lets you use the torch to breath fire. You can see the player character use it when before they start firing, and you can see the hollow enemies chug something before the same.

You could probably apply the effect to any weapon you wanted with CE without ever actually buying the DLC. If all you care about is style over substance, you could just mess around with effect values and pointers and probably do a better job than From ever could.

It should have just swapped sides between 1H and 2H.

That way you get thrust for HA trading, and strike for DPS

So I've got both DS2 and DS3 in my steam library now. I've played Demon's Souls and Dark Souls with PS3 back in the day but I couldn't have been arsed to do those two newer ones yet.

Play DS3 so you have a character ready for the DLC (if you like PVP that is). Otherwise it doesn't really matter.

Everything that can be equipped to a hand has a weapon art. Except the torch.

>>156969464
That's not how it works.
There's a separate memory address for the VFX of a buff, and they all scale to the dimensions of the weapon they're applied to because they are all just minor variations of the same base code, the one used for resins and spell buffs. This is why you can gesturebuff/tumbelbuff unbuffable weapons and still have the buff FX align properly with the weapon.

That particle effect is literally just a charcoal resin with the white/black colour pallette of dark pyromancies. Imitating it with CE such that you could apply the effect to any weapon would probably be the work of an afternoon. What's better, it'd take even less time for the devs themselves to do it, which is why the idea that they'll be expecting you to pay 15 dollars for trash like that is absolutely galling.

Meanwhile, nobody was up in arms over the Possessed Armor Sword despite it having the only fire self-buff with inherent fire damage. If it's just yet another a greatsword with a dark self-buff whose only distinction is that it looks pretty, then there's nothing galling about it. It's just by-the-numbers meta shit. It doesn't look like trash though, it really is quite pretty.

No, that's R2 while right handed. Pressing L2 is the weapon art, if it's in your left hand. If it's in your right hand, you need to two-hand and press L2.

>>156970338

Shibuya's Legend of Aboriginal Souls was going to be its own thing, disastrously so, and then he got canned for it. The DaS2 we got is directly, intimately connected to the plot and setting of the first game.

Yes? Did you read the item description? It says the weapon art can be used in both hands, so you'd normally put it in your left hand so you could use it with L2 without needing to two-hand or put your main weapon away.

Who wasn't directly involved in DaS2 and isn't a source of canon regarding its lore and its place in the overall series. They are also statements made regarding a different design concept for DaS2 that did not get released as the DaS2 we know. They are about as valid as the claims he made about being able to create bonfires back in DaS3's early press.

More like "only logical paired weapon imaginable".

Sword and shield is the best possible dual weapon, followed by sword and dirk.

2spear, 2mace, 2kat, 2sword, and 2dagger are all completely retarded anime bullshit almost as bad as the oversized "warhammers" that are really just lumps of metal or wood attached ot a stick.

At least sword and shield will allow the shield to be used as a weapon, just like shields really were.

What, you mean the "lets not do anything and leave the game as an unbalanced mess of shit" approach?
The closest thing to balance changes BB got was fixing the riflespear bug (which left the weapon as total dogshit) and nerfing the cannon into abysmal uselessness. Everything else was just "reduced the stamina cost of the kirkhammer by 0.5%" a dozen times.

BB's balance was hardly touched and it was completely shit as a result. There's a reason people call it the worst pvp in the series, and double bolt saifs are two of those reasons.

Ds2 isn't bad. It's just not as good as the other dark souls

Given that weapon variety is actually minimal, how many "unique" weapons are there per class?

The Dark Sword actually has a relatively different moveset and the stomp stance instead of the hold stance, and the broadsword has that (ridiculous, retarded) lunging slash with a huge windup, but most of the other straight swords are just a variation on the same moveset - either thrust thrust, thrust cut, or cut cut.

And spearwise, the Partizan and Yorshka's Spear are the only ones that feel really different (unless you count Lanza Grande as a spear).

Bullshit, the only unusuable weapons in BB pvp were tonitrus and beast claws, and even tonitrus had its perks. Saif and Rakuyo were an unbalanced, OP mess, but by then they'd already started working on the next game.

People didn't call BB's pvp the worst in the series because of weapon balance, they called it the worst because gun spam was unpunishable and the bell maiden system combined with phantom HP penalty was as bad as DaS3's "can only invade gankers" and embers.

>>156971860
Straightswords are one of the most diverse classes. They all share R1s in common, but there's 3 1st 1HR2 variation, 4 1st 2HR2 variations and 2 2nd 2HR2 variations.

Compare that to something like Axes, where in the entire weaponclass every single WA is a self-buff and every single axe but one shares the same R2s.

>>156972138
thats kindof to be expected though, the whole mudblood thing was a rather heavy handed analogy

>>156972260

The sheer number of weapons that are just "press L2 to buff" are completely retarded

All weapons should have had a stance based WA, then you could chuck in either the buff or the attack depending on whether you hit R1 or R2, while "mundane" weapons would just have had two different attacks

Hand Axe is an axe too, it's R1s are different.

Thrall Axe has quickstep, and is basically a better Hand Axe.

Dragonslayer's Axe doesn't have a different moveset, but its inherent lightning means it can be used on different builds for different reasons.

Butcher Knife is big and steals HP.

Winged Knight Twinaxes is the most fun shit in the game.

Eleonora's bong bong is better than anyone gives it credit for.

Warcry isn't bad in principle, the implementation just sucks.
Why do I have to charge my R2 for like 3 seconds to get the unique attack?
It takes so long to charge it that someone standing point-blank can literally turn around and sprint back out of range before it goes off. It's too slow to catch or surprise someone, too slow to pressure them, too slow to be an option. The only time someone will ever get hit by it is if they've never seen it before and don't know what's happening. There's no practical function for an attack like that when it takes so long to go off, and even in pve it does less damage than two R1s for like triple the amount of time.

If they hadn't overbalanced some of these WA attacks to be completely irrelevant, then the game would actually have some diversity.

>>156972946
I think the reasoning behind Warcry R2s taking so long is because they have long range, massive poise, and turn your entire body into a moving stagger wall. The attacks are great when they finally go off, it's just getting there that's the problem. Fun to use in Dungeon if you can pin the other guy in a cage, though.

IMO, Demon's Greataxe WA should've been Warcry, with the explosion slam being its WA R2. That way you could let go and fire it off early if you ever needed to.

The fact that intelligent players can avoid the most of the consequences doesn't prove DS1 backstabbing is a good mechanic.

In DaS1, lagstabs were game-breaking. Early DaS2 lagstabs were harder to but just as bad until they nerfed the damage to where they were barely worth the effort. In DaS3, backstabs are hard enough to do that the only way you'll get hit by them is if you specifically leave yourself open for one.

With other backstabs. You counter backstabs with backstabs, which are countered with backstabs and backstabbing backstabs while circling for a backstab.

Funnily enough, all of these things had been fixed in previous games at some point.

Make it so you need to do a power attack to backstab.
Level up at bonfires so you don't have to go back to the hub all the fucking time and just make the waifu into a merchant character or something.
Go back to limited spell uses because it was fucking fine before and FP only fucks up the Estus economy even more which was also perfectly fucking fine in DS1. WAs really don't even need to be limited at all and doing so only makes the combat less varied and more boring.

Honestly the backpat/avoidable backstab of 2 and 3 is okay by me, it's DaS1 and DeS that had really bad backstabs.

Bloodborne's Charged R2 > back Visceral was pretty good too though

>>156974424
Lag is so ubiquitous in pvp that whenever someone says backstab they actually mean lagstab.

Lagstabs require less timing and positioning and more knowing how desynching works so you can backstab people out of animations or even out of other backstabs. It requires no actual game-related knowledge or skill and reduces gameplay down to whoever can exploit lag more efficiently.

Tell me your honest opinion guys. Miyazaki said that he is not going to continue Soul Series but he didn't say someone else couldn't do it.

So what do you think, is DS 3 last in the soul series ? Or Perhaps Yui "The Hack" Tanimura is going to try once more ?

>>156974597
You don't need to crit someone to heal. You can just chug estus in their face and there's nothing they can do. Estus healing is ridiculous now.

Backstabs are also much harder to pull off than they were in DaS 1. If you get backstabbed you got outplayed plain and simple. You deserve to have your face crit off.

It's possible to land a lucky parry by spamming L2 but doing so will likely result in you getting backstabbed if your opponent has a clue.

In short: get gud.

Complaining about lag is a completely seperate issue. Lag sucks in PvP but lagstabs are much less frequent than they were in DaS 1.

Overall the netcode seems to be better this time around.

Lag sucks but saying that you should remove backstabs and parries because of lag is just retarded.

If you got parried you got outplayed. End of story.

You deserve to die.

Complain about it all you want but parries and backstabs aren't going anywhere. They've been a staple of the series since Demon's Souls.

And there are plenty of tools you do have against parrying. Dead angling is the most basic and a failed parry can give you a huge lead

They had WAs right before as well, all the way back in DeS weapons with "special" R2 attacks would drain extra stamina and take a chunk of durability, giving durability a purpose without turning it into a chore and not interfering with spellcasting at all.

>>156975484
Dead angling in DaS3 is a meme. Your attacks don't magically become unparryable just because you change direction. Please stop parroting reddit.

We're talking about good Souls games though, not DaS3

>>156974909
Same shit as other franchises like Halo or Metal Gear. Just because the original devs don't want to do it anymore doesn't mean the publisher isn't going to beat that dead horse until it turns into quivering cubes of jelly.

Better look forward to Kart Souls, Moba Souls, Clicker Souls, and Tennis Souls in the future.

>>156975496
Yes. A lot. It's called a one-shot build.

Maybe if you actually knew what you were talking about and didn't complain about basic combat mechanics you would know how to play the game and not get parried every time you retardedly run forwards with a one handed UGS.

Guys what happened?

>>156975496
>it's in the game so it must be good

I never said that. I merely stated that complaining about it is pointless. It's like complaining about headshots in an FPS. It's a core mechanic of the game.

I listed numerous reasons why the parrying system adds depth to PvP, rewards skillful play and precise timing whilst punishing R1 mashers and you just ignored it.

I can only assume that you're an assblasted scrub who got his ass parried and riposted one too many times.

Get fucking gud you scrub.

Dodge rolls look stupid, and rolling doesn't help you avoid anything, it just makes you a target while simultaneously wasting a ton of energy

Instead there should be varying degrees of sidestep depending on encumbrance

FP is so goddamn limiting, holy shit
Even with the Dusk Crown Ring that literally takes your ember bonus away, 35ATT isn't enough FP to actually complete a fight against another player unless they're afk or something.

I remember in DaS2 where 40 attunement meant I could have 16 casts of great combustion on top of 3-8 casts of every single other worthwhile spell and never, ever had to worry about running out of casts in a single duel, on top of having consumable spell restoration items in case I did. Now I have ~6 casts of any spell before I need to chug blue juice

>parries work in a 360 degree sphere
No, they don't.
They work directly and when you're turned 180 degrees backwards (only on some relatively large weapons).
In any other situation you will be able to deadangle instead of getting parried 100% of the time.

Rolls should just be a heavier looking tackle-leap-dodge kind of move with a longer recovery, weight dependent animations for lighter weight, and slight stagger at heavier weights when you smack into someone. Kick should be replaced with a sweet elbowing or the crossbow-tackle

Lets face it, Every character introduced in the intro cutscene of every souls game is a shitty, disappointing fight. Aldrich sucked, the Watchers sucked, Yhorm sucked, Nito sucked, BoC sucked, Seath sucked and Gwyn, Lord of "kiss me I'm parryable" Cinder sucked.

It's just the nature of these games and the ineptitude of their director.

It's also only a short-term decline brought on by political uncertainty. There's no real grounding in the decline of the pound beyond the fact that currency traders are worried there will be unforseen consequences and pulled out to avoid risk. When those consequences don't materialize, the economy will stabilize. A small and temporary decline in currency value is good for trade in the short-term, and in the long term is definitely worth divesting from the globalist hogwash that is the EU and their refugee army.

The lead-up to that boss fight was great, with the two darkwraiths slaughtering their way up to the boss door and the boss itself having multiple allies. Why didn't they go all the way with it? Why'd they throw it all away to make a dude on fire?
