Sounds good, but the timeline doesn't really work out.

If Yorshka was around to see Gwyndolin, then she was around before Sulyvahn started his coup, and before Aldrich linked the flame. That means she was around before Gwynevere had any kids with Oceiros at all.

Also, Ocelotte seems to be a baby, while Yorshka is at least a young teenager

I don't think they had kids together, Gwynevere and Seath had Priscilla (assumed). I don't know who Ocelotte's mother is supposed to be.

Yorshka also explicitly says that the Pontiff locked her up there.

How's this (Standard build type)
>>
>>157034739
Sorry for being unclear - what I meant was:

If Yorshka was Ocelotte, then she'd have to have been born after Lothric and Lorian, as Ocelotte was Oceiros' final child.

Given that Lothric and Lorian were slated to become Lords of Cinder after Aldrich, they were probably born after he linked the fire and it began to fade again.

Then, Yorshka, who knew Gwyndolin and thus existed before Aldrich ate him, probably predates Lothric and Lorian, let alone Ocelotte.

So Yorshka =/=Ocelotte, at least in my view

Pretty sure there's gonna be an arena based PVP covenant, unless they're really that fucking lazy and just going "oh look, people who own the DLC can summon here instead of Pontiffs!"

Personally I'm hoping for a surprise and they add the Champions Covenant tablet at Iudex Gundyr just to bolster the replay value.

Here's the first half.

http://pastebin.com/Qq7zx3JE

Overall it's not terrible, just a little purple in places. Your biggest issue seems to be self-editing - there's a lot of unnecessary words and phrases. I know it's hard butchering your work and cutting stuff, but you need to learn to be ruthless with yourself. This isn't high-school English and there's no word count you need to hit. 600 lean good words is better than 1000 bloated average ones.

I'm not going to say anything about the second half yet (after she blacks out in the clocktower) - your homework is now to read what I've said, go over the second half and start cutting and editing it yourself. Post back when it's done, I guarantee it'll be much better - i'll take another look through it then.

Also, I hope i'm not coming across as to harsh - I'm certainly critical in what I've written, but I don't hate it or anything. It is tough putting your work out to the world, props to you for doing it.
>>
>>157037839
That's the thing though - if Aldrich ate Gwyndolin before he linked the fire, then they're absolutely too young.

If Aldrich ate Gwyndolin after reawakening, then they might be, but you still run into the problem of hearing Ocelotte as a baby, and seeing Yorshka as a teen.

Keep in mind that Shanalotte is artificial as fuck. Seems like Oceiros took more notes from "the first scholar" than big papi Seath.

My personal head canon is that Shanalotte ain't the momma, but did nab him from Oceiros.
The baby crying we hear is actually just an overpowered version of Yearn, meant to keep Oceiros off their trail.

True. My post was dumb.

Sun and moon aren't really illusions like they are fake or something, they're kept in their form through power of the souls or whatever. They might be exactly the same as our sun and our moon from real life. Moon wouldn't go away because it's a rock in the sky, like you can see from archdragon keep but if there was no power left it wouldn't shine like it does in Irithyll. it does only shine in a crescent moon way. maybe cause gwyndolin is being absorbed. That's my take on it.

DaS2's graphics aren't good.
DaS1 looks technically dated, but it's still pleasing to the eye if you can get past that.
>>
>>157044941
That's not true at all. I struggled a lot in my first DaS3 run in some parts, it took me over 40 tries to beat Pontiff (after I started counting, I had already died a few times). I remember thinking I would never be able to beat NK, so hard I thought he was (then I tried fighting unlocked). The Dancer grab killed me so many times I started taking a picture every time I got one shot by it.

But you don't even need to talk about bosses: The Crabs; That one goat guy, you know which one; Frost Knights; Trying to melee the giant worm; Tsorig; Sully Dogs; Irythill human skull infinite stunlock dogs; etc

Anyway, I can recognize a few instances where the difficulty spikes, but that lizard? Really? That weakass retarded enemy that has enourmous tells in all his attacks and you can literally beat his shit with starting equipment?

Holy shit

>>
>>157041614
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>
>>157045316 Also forgot three difficult spikes that really stand out in a first playthrough. I forgot them probably because they are super easy for me now.

First is Irythill. Spinning knights with unending combos that rape you into oblivion and witches ganking you with hollows shitting fire everywhere.
Second is the Dungeon. You can easily get lost there and capping your max HP is frightening.
Third is upper Lothric Castle, specifically the part between the Dancer and the first castle bonfire. Those Lothric Knights absolutely destroy you if you didn't got gud at fighting them. I think most people felt pushed back real hard at that part.

Don't think with the logic of the game itself and your own experience but more with the logic of progression in a story

I don't mean to be rude, but....have you considered you just might not be very good at the game? Pontiff isn't easy, but 40+ tries isn't normal.
>>
>>157045316
There are two of those rapeface goats, and most people don't deny him being annoying.

If you actually read through it, it looked like the character just took some damage beforehand and forgot to heal, which is pretty understandable. What I find more strange is that they looked like they took more punishment the second time around, but hung on through the force of sheer anime willpower since the author had no better means of explaining how they were able to stagger and riposte on a hugeass lizard.
>>
>>157045774
Not him, but it seems normal if you are using a slow weapon and no shields.

Unless I'm shit too.
>>
>>157045853
But I play that way too - you just need to be ok at rolling
>>
>>157045774
His point was that you can struggle with the game and find the aforementioned lizard easy nonetheless.

>>157040676
All caps is the cruise control for cool but you still have to steer.
>>
>>157045774
It was my first playthrough, I was underleveled, using a Great Mace and no shield.

Of course I can kill him with anything easily now, but back then I remember I struggled. Also that besides the point.
>>
>>157045843
>how they were able to stagger and riposte on a hugeass lizard

It probably staggers in 4 club hits. I mean, it staggers every 2 L1 from the dual sellswords.
>>
>>157044813
>souls vet has no trouble with early game enemies

No surprise there, but the story is supposed to be from the perspective of a blank slate, they haven't got literal years of experience, christ they forgot their weapon the first time, they clearly weren't prepared for what the world had to throw at them.
And there's the intimidation factor that really doesn't hit when you're playing a videogame, the lizard is like four times as big as the character, for a player it's just "oh, he's a big guy, haha I wonder if getting caught was part of his plan" but taking something that size in a fight would really shake you the first few times, Gundyr will probably get a bunch of attention too despite not being much of a challenge for hardened warriors that don't blink at fighting 30 foot giants with a toothpick and three coconut halves.
>>
>>157046258
I don't remember saying I was a souls vet.
>>
>>157046258
Dude I let my girlfriend who never played a souls game try it and she killed that lizard just mashing r1 and backing away when he attacked. She didn't even roll. That enemy is easy for anyone.
>>
>>157045165
I like the look of des1 the most, bb and des3 look pretty muddy at times and its much easier to miss things. On my first play through of des1 I only missed 1 thing that being the 2 invisible walls in that giant tree, bb and des3 i missed a lot more stuff.

Hold up, that makes sense.

Dragon form gets a Str/Dex weapon and a sick moveset to be like beast mode.

Then they add pus of man in the next DLC with Int/Fth scaling and a gross moveset like kin mode.

It'd be like how the BB DLC was originally going to be before they combined it into one big DLC.

Sully was really difficult for me as well first time around, but I was also using a UGS.

Considering that he has attacks timed specifically to catch spammed rolls also makes him much harder, especially when you're low on health and keep getting smacked down every time you get up, panic starts to set in, you mash harder, get punished etc. etc. etc.

They're strictly better for PvE due to the range, higher damage, and faster beasthood buildup. They're also strictly better for PvP because they're actually viable if you play them defensively unlike vanilla claws which aren't viable for anything.

No shit, BB is just DaS that kept only the 1-2 weapons per class that were actually good. Except Tonitrus/Boom Hammer.

When you compare DaS3's good weapons against all of BB's weapons, you see that DaS3's outnumbers them. Especially the ones with cool weapon arts, like Tinder's Punitive Flame or Lothric's Sword and its fuck estus beam.

>>157048214
>>157048217
You don't chimp out in pvp because players can dodge out of attack spam or just shoot you, and the naturally short range of claws with either moveset makes aggressive play too risky. They're the shortest fucking weapon in the game, even BoM has range on you. Not to mention, the defense drop just means you die faster.

Embraced claws have step-in range for spacing, the roar that staggers long enough to let you follow with an R1, R2s that track really well and can catch people out of quicksteps, and the hyperarmor rape charge that blows through pretty much anything for 800 damage. It has all the tools it needs.

Well, BB has 28 main weapons and only three of them are not very good choice for pvp. Dildo, Beast Embrace and fists with flat runes.
But in DS3 there so many weapons and most of them are awful. You can literally remove them from game.

And DaS3 has more than 30 viable pvp weapons, and that's ignoring the ones that are better for pve or just useful as strap-ons like OWCS or Morion. All in all, build variety in DaS3 may be down the shitter but weapon and playstyle variety are higher than Bloodborne.

Dark Souls design philosophy isn't "this is how hunters fight, so fuck you". It's "you can use a ladle if you want to, you fucking lunatic". The game ain't better for having a pile of trash weapons with a handful of really good ones on top, but it isn't worse either because the trash weapons are literally a non-factor. They don't affect the game one way or the other.

Sunfags are cooperators who definitely want to linkt the fire. Invading is anything but cooperation and might result in somebody failing on their mission to link the fire.

Server has the same r2s as murakumo.
The only unique move among all curved greatswords is gravelord gs r2 stab which is identical on both one and two hands.
Meanwhile DS3 has a curved gs with absolutely unique WA set that true combos from R1 and a CGS version of aerial spin slash not present on any other CGS as well.
>>
>>157049260
I'm actually giving BB the benefit of the doubt here, and saying that each unique weapon has a different playstyle from the other. Chikage is used differently from Kirkhammer, stuff like that. If I were a retard trying to say "loool can't turtle in BB" when DaS1 turtles didn't even need shields and could flip ring around with a spear and poke you to death, nothing I said would hold any water.

To be fair, that's also the entirety of curved greatswords in DaS1. If none of the three CGSs had any moves in common, then the weapon class wouldn't have an identity.

You started this discussion with a question about CGS you fucking troglodyte.

DS3 CGS all have the exact same moveset. The Kumo and the Exile are IDENTICAL, except the Exile is better. The CCGS has the curved swords WA slapped on it with bleed.

CGS were always a shit and limited weapon class.

But we do discard them.

Unique means unique. Slapping one weapon moveset into another doesn't make it unique.

>no one's saying the deep and bloodborne don't have the same themes, because of course fromsoft was going to recycle that shit

Miyazaki already stated BB wasn't connected lore-wise to Dark Souls you idiot. He said this before the game even came out. Which, of course, would be why he made a Bloodborne analogue in DaS3 so he could do Bloodborne-style stuff anyways.

I'll give it to you in one sentence: DaS has souls, BB has blood.

In DaS, souls are what defines the living and the state of being sane. In BB, life is just a natural thing and you're sane without needing a shiny id bubble. In DaS, you go crazy when you lose your soul and get a hunger for souls. In BB, you start with a hunger for blood and go crazy when you let the hunger overpower you. In DaS, magic is done by channeling and manipulating souls, and there are several different types. In BB, "magic" is done by using the blood as a catalyst for interdimensional eldrich shenanigans, and there's only a single category of spells. In DaS, bonfires play an integral part in the world and its state of being. In BB, bonfires aren't even a thing and you have Victorian-era lamps with tiny invisible abortions swarming around them.

And before you try and say "BB is dark age hurr durr", we already know what an age of dark in DaS looks like. Everyone is hollow, everything is dark, and it sure as shit doesn't look like BB.

The gameplay is similar mechanically, but their stories and lore are incompatible without heavy modifications a la Cathedral of the Deep. CoD actually changes a lot from the BB mechanics to make it work in DaS.

No, it didn't. In all weapon classes it had less unique moves than DS3 and even Golem's Axe which is widely regarded as one of the fan's favorite weapons had no actually unique animations.

Not him, but I don't think it's impossible that BB and DaS, even DeS, could be set in the same universe and separated by ages. Kind of like how FF is.

Perhaps Yharnam is distant and untouched by the curse, or maybe the curse of beasts is a precursor to hollowing.

Most GS in DS3 have SAME fuckin moveset. It's so pissing me off. How do you can defend this? Instead of making unique moveset for unique GS + WA they just copy pasted standart moveset for most of them. Yeah Wolf Knight has cool WA but WA is not part of R1 R1 R1.
>>
>>157050607
The problem is that the beast scourge is 100% reliant on blood being a thing. It's the analogue to going hollow and losing control of yourself in a world where you can't go hollow. Pontiff sillyman uses magical rings to turn people into beasts, but that can't become a full on werewolf apocalypse scenario because it's entirely controllable and just as easily avoided: only the people who put the rings on turn into beasts, and you can avoid becoming a beast by simply not wearing the cursed rings. Also, DaS3 beasts fuse with their armor, while BB beasts tear through whatever they were wearing as a human.

Because of this, Cathedral of the Deep can never play the role the Healing Church did in BB. The most that can be done with beasts is maybe have some dumb fucker running around with the black eyes and not knowing what they are until he hulks out and starts sprouting hairs between the cracks in his armor. Nobody who doesn't have the rings can become a beast, there's no need to go on constant purges to kill beasts or even medicate against them, and there certainly isn't a need to experiment with different forms of beasts because the magic is specifically designed to do exactly what Sulyvahn wanted it to in the first place, which is to exile people as punishment and turn them into super powerful guard dogs so they're still somewhat useful.

Father Gascoigne initially said "Umbasa". This had to be removed, probably due to copyright. Also, it's apparent from his gear that he came from a foreign land as his item description states that the Healing Church has no such title.

Perhaps the curse of beasts hasn't progressed to Lothric at the point of DaS3, or Sullyvahn is attempting to revive it or bring it there. At any rate, I think there are definitely connections that hint they are at least in the same universe. Not trying to say the good hunter is Aldritch or anything.

As far as I know, animation's speed is regulated by the speed modifier (for the player) or the word's (for npcs). If you speed your animation compared to the npcs the opposite will happen.

Father Gascoigne said "Umbasa" in a script that was never meant to be seen by the player. Copyright isn't a factor here, since both IPs are owned by Sony. If that line was removed from the final game, it was for lore reasons.

The scourge isn't progressing at all in DaS, because the thing that would allow it to progress in the first place doesn't exist. Sulyvahn can't revive, import, or invent the scourge of beasts without a working version of the blood. As it is, he just made a set of rings that are super convenient for getting rid of problem people and totally incapable of causing a large-scale beast infestation.

A foggy field of trees is a powerful, and standard, fantasy imagery, often used to represent the subconscious or other hidden mindscapes. It is no more indicative of a link between Bloodborne and Dark Souls than a surprisingly well-written Twilight fanfic to old Scandinavian creation myths.

How?
He no longer has any connection to the Old Gods because of his Exile, and seemingly has no real motive aside from riding dragons/potentially becoming one (He is in Archdragon Peak after all, and all the other characters there are on a quest to become a dragon)

As for Solaire linking the fire, of course he would - adherent to Gwyn and the Old Gods, has no reason not to trust Frampt over Kaathe, probably believes Linking the Fire makes him Gwyn's Successor, like Gwynevere promised after O&S

Sewer spiders are abyssal, and the Deep is basically the Abyss in flavor and function. It's a known fact that fucking around with large amounts of dark does weird shit to people, and the Deep's entire theme is of extra-human darkness.

Facedogs are suspicious, I'll give you that. But considering how few of them there are in the game, I wouldn't go so far as to call it a plague or something out of control. Hell, they cooperate with the freaking slaves and witches, whereas in BB you don't normally see citizens and beasts together unless you do weird unintended shit like aggro a full beast down to a Yharnam mob.

It was never said in the trailer, it comes from the alpha demo. Specifically, an inaccessible section of the demo that players were able to reach by jumping off a certain platform.

>>157053330
There's more connections with xanthous than you'd think. He casts chaos pyromancy, the magic of demons, while in DeS the Old Monk was a demon himself.

The thing is, there are far fewer connections between Cathedral of Deep and Healing Church than the tinhat post tries to imply. That's what I was trying to say. They share a couple of core concepts such as spooky eldritch shit living in deep water, turning people into angry monsters, and people ascending into spooky eldritch shit, but they differ in execution and all story mechanics such as the Deep being a specific singular location and beasts being the result of intentional sorcery instead of people giving in to a medical addiction.

Pontiff Sulyvahn and the Cathedral of the Deep are an imitation of Bloodborne using DaS3 world mechanics. It's like if someone tried to create a Subaru cosplay in DaS3: they can get the general idea (atonement for witch's smell, etc), but it'll be done using different things even if the overall effects are similar on the surface.

I agree, but :
If they had made it that way, the levels would be much shorter and easier to compensate for that.

Meanwhile there's nothing stopping you from actually only using one bonfire for the level and one for the boss. In fact, all of the game's levels work perfectly fine if you do just that which makes me believe this is what they intended when they made the levels, but added the extra bonfires so that casuals wouldn't cry.

No, they did this for both demon's souls and bloodborne. Its because Bamco wants casulization that they randomly put in bonfires in middle of already short areas for no reason.

For the most part after you've unlocked the shortcuts in Demon's Souls, the run from the Archstone to the boss fight usually isn't very long.

There are levels in Demon's Souls where the boss run is Dark Souls-tier short (although rarely DS2 tier short where they used mostly bonfires instead of shortcuts to break the levels) after you've unlocked the shortcuts.

It's not impossible to cheat on PS4, just like it was never impossible to cheat on PS3 even when people were saying it was. Can you honestly say that there isn't even a single instance of a hacker in any PS4 game, or that the same people who first figured out the PS3 did not ever figure out the PS4 just as easily?

Because the people who'd first figured out PS3 didn't tell anyone, and it remained largely secret for months. They're an inclusive group who don't tell other people how to do their shit, because once Sony gets wind of it they release a patch to counteract it.

Before Dark Souls 2 was released, everybody on this general was bitching how Dark Souls 1 was so "fucking casual" because you could just run past the enemies to the fog gate and how DeS was so much better in comparison.

Most shitty changes that DaS2 brought along were ones that people wanted to be changed from DaS1 (including nerfing backstabs and parries).

From the description of Deep Protection miracle.

"Miracle taught to inaugurated deacons of the Cathedral of the Deep.

Slightly boosts attack, damage absorption and resistance, while also increasing stamina recovery speed.

The deep was originally a peaceful and sacred place, but became the final rest for many abhorrent things. This tale of the Deep offers protection for those who worship amidst those horrors."

The souls lore is incredibly inconsistent, and same stuff can be said about lovecraft's tales (until they started to systemize it for some reason after his death), the rules change every time.
I also imagine the laws of nature work differently on different layers of the Dream, so I'd rather support the idea of Soulsverse being just one plane of BB's Dreamscape rather than BB being Souls at the "Age of Deep", since that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
But you're right on Deep being an actual place, can't really argue with that.

Souls lore is incredibly consistent. BB lore is consistent with itself, but not consistent with Souls. The same core laws still apply on all layers of the Dream (ex. the Hunter doesn't gain or lose any abilities when traversing Nightmares), so blood suddenly being removed and replaced by souls at a certain level makes no sense. Heck, it's possible the blood is what makes the Dream in the first place.

But in the end, it's all really up to Miyazaki. Big M obviously wanted to do BB-like shit in DaS, hence Cathedral of the Deep. If there's ever a DaS4, it's not impossible to take the concept further until there's effectively no difference between the two.

>>157058302
In DeS, it's possible to completely run out of Ephemeral Eyes and get stuck in soul form, at which point he wouldn't be able to get invaded or be summoned. Of course, if that were to happen I'd "help" him by offering to cast Revive on him, just to keep the invasion train rolling.

That would be super unlikely. Also, don't you also get revived whenever you do a boss?

I remember Filthy Woman selling Ephemeral Eye Stones but were those limited?

He's not DSP-tier shit and he'll likely be able to summon at least one competent phantom assuming he'll be playing online though so be aware of that fact. At least there won't be seeds in DeS and a lot of the mobs are very good protection from ganks.

Blessed infusion is limited to hardstone upgrade path, and crescent infusion is limited to sharpstone. Moon infusion works with both, so you can make Str/Mag using that, but there's no equivalent Faith upgrade for sharpstone.

Phos Pole is decently strong as a weapon and its MP regen stacks with +5 crescent weapons, but casters usually want Kris over it for the spell damage boost. Istarelle is okay within its super narrow category, as it's the only Faith spear, but it's not great. It'll let you run around in poison for a long time, though.

>>157058867

>Where did the lordsouls come from?
First Flame

>Where did the Flame come from?
Bonfires burn on undead bones. First Flame is a big-ass bonfire. Undead devour souls, which lets them burn longer. Bonfires are burning souls, basically, and Lord Souls are especially clumpy masses.

>What are the serpents motives?
Exactly as stated by the serpents themselves. Frampt sided with Gwyn, and tries to extend the age of fire. Kaathe wants to start the age of dark and is a sore loser.

>Why do we have Humanities in 1, Effigies in 2 and Embers in 3?
They're different names for the same thing, you dork. Use an "effigy" in 2, and your character shoves a humanity into their chest and you get the "humanity restored" message. Embers are humanities on fire, which is consistent with burning humanities in DaS1 to strengthen bonfires.

>What makes bonfires re-light themselves?
They don't re-light themselves, an undead lights them. That's how it's always been. DaS1 even goes so far as to explicitly state that undead are naturally good at lighting and kindling bonfires, a trick that normally takes clerics many years of practice and training.

>And those are just off the top of my head
Your head is short, then.

>He is suddenly able to walk on water when he fights Rom, for starters
I'll grant that.

>augumented laws of physics and reality is the only way to explain the shit that goes on in the DLC area, with all it's clocktowers and fisherman villages stacked upon each other
Not really. That's literally layers of the dream being layers of the dream, and the fishermen villages aren't stacked on top of each other any worse than Blighttown's houses are.

>How so? Blood is nothing but blood of the Eldritch Gods that has been feed and then further extracted from human beings

Actually, that one's pretty straightforward. Negalink exists in the same location as Firelink does even in the game files. Talking to the handmaiden there and taking the blueberries back to Ludleth makes it very clear that you stumbled into the past because 'the flow of time is convoluted'.

The First Flame divided shit like heat and cold, life and death, light and dark. It stands to reason that as the First Flame fades, those distinctions would also fade. Life and death merge and you get shambling corpses stuck between the two, and of course past and present would get muddied as well.

Name 1 hard thing about Gundyr, Sulyvahn or Nameless King

Gundyr just isn't hard, like what the fuck. He has that one karate kick move that is actually hard to read and that's it.

Sulyvahn you just need to stay back and wait for the opening

Nameless King telegraphs his shit from Before Christ
>>
My biggest issue with NK are his knockdowns.
They feel like they're set up to be like a saving grace for a struggling player doing him for the first time. Like you're desperately trying to get damage and stay alive and then a knockdown comes along and gives you some space to heal and blow up a chunk of his HP bar and that's all fine and dandy.

Works great on your first playthrough.

But every playthrough after, when you have a better grasp of his moveset and can play more aggressively, he gets knocked down so fast and easily that you can literally chain knockdowns/ripostes on him to death. The fight becomes trivial because his poise is just too damn easy to break and every time you break it, he's down for long enough to break it again. It turns an otherwise difficult fight into a joke and basically robs NK of any replay value.

No, but killing Smough in the face of Ornstein is challenging compared to the alternative.

I could die a bunch of times trying to kill S first and then kill O on my first attempt and win the fight.

>>157060781
Super O had that special grab attack which ignored iframes and needed to be counterintuitively dodged towards in order to escape into the arbitrary blindspot at his crotch.

That move and the shitty hitbox on the buttslam were the only reasons anyone ever had trouble with super O.
>>
>>157060781
To be fair though, the difficulty is fighting a more damaging Ornstein after already having to deal with Smough with Ornstein attacking you on the side

I know everyone uses the opening cinematic for this stuff, but the First Flame is actually in the game and not just in a cutscene. You see it after killing Gwyn, and it's just another bonfire. A bonfire that'll burn you alive for trying to touch it, but a bonfire nonetheless. You see it again in DaS3, also as a bonfire that uses you as fuel.

>What about bleeding gravestones, boulders with faces, fucked up sky in mensis nightmare and even more fucked up sky in hunters nightmare? Giant worldtrees in hunters dream that realistically should collapse under their own weight? A shack floating in the middle of a sea of white mist?
>The Dreams/Nightmares in BB do not obey the laws of physics, which makes them similar to real life dreams, hence the name.
Anon, I said "the same core laws apply on all layers of the dream", and I was talking about constants like the blood and other such things. Specifically, the constants that set it apart from DaS. Although, if you really want to get technical we don't really know that gravestones can't bleed, or that the gravestones in the Nightmares aren't just a really weird type of plant. It's eldritch alien shit, it could be anything at this point.

>Bloodletting Beast's jap name is "Host of the Beast Blood", which kind of implies that it was, in fact, a beast used for bloodletting. What other source could there be?
And the japanese translation of blood echoes implies that they carry the lingering memory and will of their previous owners, which makes more sense of the Heir rune. This would make the blood conflict with souls in DaS, which serve the same purpose and are also used for magic and shit. Unless souls were to completely disappear at some point (a thing that doesn't even happen in an age of dark) and be completely replaced by blood out of nowhere, DaS won't ever become BB. Everything about the world would have to change, first.

Now, I'm not saying Allant's fight sucks and he has a kick ass theme, but it's a bit outdated compared to the new gen souls games.
I just wish DaS3 bosses had more health and damage, they kind of feel downgraded, for some reason.

>large enemy with long weapon has blindspot close to his body

No, I think that's how it's supposed to work, closing on a spear neuters its range advantage and they're not very maneuverable in close combat, also the larger he is the harder it is to deal with a small fast moving target close to his body so his size works against him as well.

Except that Old Dragonslayer is a lot slower and weaker than Super Ornstein.

Super Ornstein's butt slam gives you about half a second of windup before he's up in the air, and less than a second before he crashes down. Old Dragonslayer has at least a full second and a half of windup on the ground before he jumps up. His impale attack is also a lot easier to dodge.

When regular Ornstein does his charge attack, he moves super fucking fast. Old Dragonslayer you can see him as he rushes at you.

Ornstein's lightning bolts don't have that huge of a windup. Old Dragonslayer charges his spear for at least a second before shooting a dark bolt at you.

And most of all, Old Dragonslayer's attacks don't hit you for a huge chunk of your HP, even the impale doesn't do that much damage. And all of his regular attacks can be blocked for not much stamina drain. All of this when you haven't even faced your first Old One, as compared to a situation where you're strong enough to wield a +14 weapon.

They both have the same moveset, but Old Dragonslayer is a lot slower, and deals a lot less damage with his attacks. Besides the obvious one that you don't have to deal with Smough first, draining a lot of your Estus in the meantime.

Poor optimization.

DaS1 ran very poorly as well, and unjustifiably considering its graphics. DaS2 ran buttery smooth despite having much more resource-intensive assets like cape physics because the port was outsourced and ended up incredibly well optimized.

DaS3's optimization issues extend to consoles, too, just like DaS1 and BB, which would suggest it's not entirely a fault of the port but simply of the game's optimization in general. BB had lots of similar performance issues and it's likely just a consequence of Fromsoft playing with a new engine they don't completely understand yet and trying to produce things up to the standards of the next console generation.

Artificial...
Difficulty?......
I'd actually say Old Dragonslayer would be more dangerous if he had DaS1-tier bloated HP/damage values, because instead of really telegraphed lightning spears that travel at a pretty slow speed, he has a 2 and 3 hit swipe combo. But that's debatable and depends on your personaly playstyle.

They're literally ghost clones you project. Dark spirit is a result of hollowing or murderous intent whether or not the owner is alive. White summons are spiritual clones of oneself. At least that's my headcanon since it explains why Tsorig can fight himself or killing a dark spirit of a dead/living person has no effect on them. This was true with Ostrava and Garl in DeS

in phase 2, the clone can attack during the real Pontiff's recovery and if the clone is dead, Pontiff can cancel recovery after his own attacks. it's an unfair fight. if you're doing base level run in high NG cycle, this fight requires you to either use a fast weapon or wear Bloodring or constantly get away/close to him to reset the clone or just hope that clone will never do that and if he does, it will be a long telegraph attack like AoE or Profaned Greatsword slam. if you're using a great weapon, you can't reliably do anything but rolling R1s in phase 2, because you might get hit during recovery

After goofing around with invasions, dried finger baiting and darkmoon cop calls I really hate the levels in this game, I completely avoid doing any invasions in the swamp area now because sometimes it can toss you in near crystal sage while the host is about to enter the abyss watchers room etc.

Not difficult getting around that place but it's a huge fucking pain in the ass to play batman detective across that entire place just to end up having the host fog waltz before you reach him in time.


Same with Highwall invasions if your not noob busting 1-10, everyone will bail into dancers fog the moment they know they can't win.

Technically, Gwyndolin uses "moon sorceries"; they're sorceries, but Gwyndolin just casts them with Faith because reasons. The only darkmoon miracle is Darkmoon Blade, and that's not a spell Gwyndolin casts but is a spell given to his knights by him. i.e., the blessing of a god given to their followers, the literal definition of miracle.

The profaned flame is a different thing than the chaos flame. For one, it was created by a bunch of sorcerers. For two, the Immolation Tinder is profaned-based but scales purely with Intelligence.

So all together, Pontiff Sulyvahn is actually just a sorcerer at his core who focused on a variety of sorcery types instead of purely Vinheim stuff, and has a pair of big swords. Even then, the typical Dark Souls sorcerer archetype has high Dexterity alongside high Intelligence, so the only way Sulyvahn stands out compared to the average sorcerer is his high Strength and scheming political acumen.

He's a quality/Int hybrid with an agenda, basically. He actually doesn't do anything unusually fancy with his left-hand sword, and most of it comes from the one in his right.

No you don;t understand
Gwyndolin is the source of moon magic.
His followers cast it with faith because he;s the source of that power, it's faith in him that allows them to be cast. In essence, sorcery is moon miracles.

The intelligence version of sorcery that humans use are just cheap knockoffs of true sorcery, moon sorcery, which is Gwyndolin's innate power as a deity. Seath is hailed as the inventor of normal sorcery and, considering his relative proximity to Gwyndolin, and the fact that they're both closely related to the moon, it's likely that Seath's version is just a reverse-engineering of Gwyndolin's power.

This is an important bit because it;s lore-relevant to DaS3. The Greatsword of Judgement mentions that it's deep blue hues reflect Sulyvahn's true nature as a sorcerer. It's important because, if the Greatsword of Judgement was actually related to Gwyndolin and the Darkmoons, it would scale with faith, but it doesn't. The only faction in the world of DaS3 that would have access to authentic int-scaling moon magic are the Scholars of the Grand Archives, who are said to have inherited Seath's research.

They're not so radically different.
And since Pontiff has those fire WoG-like explosions as well as being the leader of a religious organization, I think he's kind of obliged to have high FAI as well. The nature of his DMB is debatable, but probably sorcery-based.
But yeah, Quality/INTFAI sounds quite bloated to me.

I don't know what you mean by that, since Gwyndolin is one of Gwyn's offspring, but it's entirely irrelevant anyways since we're never given a timeline for how long after inheriting the Archives Seath invented sorcery. There's no in-game basis for a timeline that could support or contradict any connection between Seath and Gwyndolin.

If gwyndolin existed durring the fall of the dragons, he would have had a stated prescence of some sort given that he litteraly leads around the fun police who do nothing but meddle. If he were there, he'd have been mentioned. Seath's research was on the primordial crystal, which he took from the dragons long before gwyndolin was doing anything.

>Catalyst born from the soul of the Dark Sun Gwyndolin, Darkmoon deity who watches over the abandoned city of the Gods, Anor Londo. Gwyndolin is Gwyn's lastborn and a legitimate god, but he is also a Moon sorcerer, and this wand is boosted by faith, not intelligence.

>Garb of the Dark Sun Gwyndolin, protector of the forsaken city of Anor Londo. The crown of the gods demands faith immeasurable of its wearer, but it is imbued with Darkmoon power that enhances all magic. The image of the sun manifests Gwyndolin's deep adoration of the sun.

>Garb of the Dark Sun Gwyndolin, protector of the forsaken city of Anor Londo. The power of the moon was strong in Gwyndolin, and thus he was raised as a daughter. His magic garb is silk-thin, and hardly provides any physical defense.

Gwyndolin's own catalyst is Faith scaling, strongly implying that Gwyndolin himself is the one casting sorceries with Faith. The wording on the catalyst description also suggests that this is a normal thing for moon sorcerers.

Faith-scaling sorcery is not restricted only to Gwyndolin and moon stuff however, and we see that Archdeacon Klimt accomplished it with the Archdeacon Greatstaff. In the description of his staff, it explains that channeling Faith for sorcery is a sin, and can be traced back to Archdeacon McDonnell, a sorcerer from Irithyll who taught the deacons how to be sorcerers and cast Deep Soul.

It's interesting to note that the Sunless Talisman is strong with dark miracles, and the description acknowledges this as a warning to people given the talisman.

Anyways, Gwyndolin casts sorcery with Faith because he's weird.

>>157065496
>As opposed to a bunch of witches?
Witches who could cast long forgotten fire-based sorceries, yes. It's still a type of sorcery.

Technically the leader of a religious organization wouldn't really need Faith. Sulyvahn and McDonnell were both sorcerers from Irithyll, and McDonnell has the pure Int scaling Cleric Candlestick.

other anon here. i agree on the timeline stuff. in fact i think gwyndolin was born after gwyn left to link the flame, since he isn't mentioned to have a piece of gwyn's soul, which could very well be the reason for his lack in lightning power. nothing stops seath from having looted the crystal during the war but being unable to unlock the secrets it held until he could interact with gwyndolin

>>157066031
>Archdeacon McDonnell, a sorcerer from Irithyll
And Irithyll was, until recently, a moon-worshipping city under control of Gwyndolin.

Just because Gwyndolin's catalyst, in the hands of a player character, scales with faith doesn't mean that Gwyndolin channels faith to use it. It's a logical contradiction for a legitimate god to require faith in order to use their magic. Considering Aldrich is able to use those same moon powers after consuming Gwyndolin, the source of Gwyndolin's power is clearly not faith in some other moon-based deity. You've just inferred something out of left field based on a misreading of an item description.

It's still not very good. They just made the hitbox match the visual.
On release, GC and BF both copypasted the hitbox of regular combustion because they were clearly unfinished. They just fixed that. GC still does low damage for what it is and black flame is only barely pvp viable if you monstrously overspecialize

Obviously for people that don't spec into it a melee range spell isn't gonna be good.

Okay, let me adjust with a 3rd build.

I'll use Carthus rouge too.

>>157066057
Okay so, Prisoner's chain is a no go. Got it.

Should I put the 2 points into stamina? I had heard that spell buff only kicks in after 60? Or is it between 40 and 60 that you get the best returns?

Also I figured Dark blade might be a good idea because Endurance ups lightning resist, therefore Dark Blade might have maybe 30 points of damage on Lightning Blade? DMB is just cause I don't have it and I never get summoned as a blue(And farming isn't fun).

B.

Didn't realise Court's scaled so well.

I figured Soulmass would be a good way of punishing passive players.

And ok, I'll Raw the DBGS

>>157066484
>It's a logical contradiction for a legitimate god to require faith in order to use their magic
This depends entirely on how the game defines faith.

Consider this: there exists a class of miracles, faith-based spells, that have nothing at all to do with the gods. Dark Blade, Dead Again, Vow of Silence, and Atonement are tales of Hollows and their conflicts, and are considered the anti-thesis of the gods and forbidden by the church.

By their very existence, they disprove your notion that faith is a thing restricted to only the followers of gods, or a thing that applies only to spells and abilities derived from gods.

There's nothing saying that Aldrich does not have a faith stat, and considering he created a miracle I'd reckon he'd have to have a pretty good faith stat. That particular miracle, by the way, is dark, and if it's derived from anything comes from the living antithesis of life that was locked away by the gods and was created without any contact with her.

But be serious: a weapon created from a boss's soul does not change properties for its wielder. The object is inanimate, and boss soul weapons are described as things that require special talents similar to their original wielders to use. There is no example of a boss weapon requiring different attributes in the player's hands than in its original owner's hands, and the Darkmoon Catalyst is no exception.

The difference here is that the Flame of Chaos resulted in pyromancy, which as of DaS3 depends heavily on both Int and Fth while the Profaned Flame can certainly be cast as a pyromancy but doesn't seem restricted to that. If it's abyssal like Andre and the Profaned Coal says, then it'd be technically possible to have profaned sorceries or profaned miracles, and not just profaned pyromancies. In fact, the irithyll witches casting fire with a sorcery staff implies exactly that.

I'm seeing some words getting tossed around.

Reminder: Sorcery, Miracle working, and Pyromancy are all refereed to as distinct forms of Magic, not subgroups of eachother. Similarly, specific Sorceries, Miracles, and Pyromancies are all Spells. Dark Sorceries are a subgroup of Sorceries, sometimes refereed to as Hexes, only because DS2 allowed some of them to be cast with chimes. Dark Pyromancies are typically just called Pyromancies.

Profaned Coal:
>Coal used for weapon infusion.

>Remnants of the fire that burned down the Profaned Capital, preserved in an icy skull.

>Give to the blacksmith in the shrine to allow the use of gems for dark, blood, and Hollow infusion.

>dark, hollow

Andre's lines in response to the Profaned Coal are that it's much too dark and he sees the Abyss in it. Furthermore, the hand ogres that appear only in Profaned Capital (one of which drops Eleonora) are abyssal-type enemies and take extra damage from Wolf Knight Greatsword and Farron Greatsword.

One of the key traits of dark/abyssal spells is that they span all the spell schools. You can get and cast dark spells of every type. If profaned spells are also abyssal, this might also be possible for them.

Also, the Immolation Tinder is a sorcery staff imbued with the Profaned Flame that the irithyll witches use to cast various fire spells at you, which could be profaned sorceries.
