What's this shit about Miyazaki saying that the DLC is completely unrelated to the Painted World?

karla

Does anyone know any really fun PVE builds? my last game file for some reason wont work anymore at the halfway bonfire where you meet Anri and Horace. It loads up I even see my character and then two seconds later my game decides to not respond so I guess sadly ill have to make a whole new account.

So any good PVE builds out there?

What are your "Nope I'm leaving" PvP moments?

For me its
>3 man gank squad
>Host summons one soon as one dies
>They put down the seed of giants
>Refuse to move from bonfire

When all of that happens I just quit.

Anyone else has this issuewhere the game turns into a slideshow in zones where the game has to load multiple areas? Like going in and out of the Cathedral of the Deep or the Grand Archives.
Is there a fix for this doesn't involve buying a better pc? Game runs fine otherwise.

>>157142672
it is unrelated to the painted world of ariamis, he said it's another painted world

>>157142672
It's unrelated to the painted world in DkS1, it's another one

>>157142672
I think he just means that this is a 'different' painted world. Probably created by Ariamis too or one of his disciples.

>>157142459
Are there any ps4 players in this thread?

>>157142880
>>157142896

Okay so it's related in a sense that multiple Painted Worlds exist for reasons, but this one was created for a different reason.

I'm gonna play ds1 for the first time in a few months. I've beaten it dozens of times and running out of novel builds. What should I do?

I know it's a shit weapon but this is fun.

Posted in the old thread but its gonna get buried, do Ultragreat axes in DS2 have the same direction change when you move your left thumbstick like Ultra Greatswords do? Overhead attacks are being a bitch.

>>157143490
Yes they do

Learn to abuse that direction changing so you can catch enemies who evade your attack

>>157142850
>Is there a fix for this doesn't involve buying a better pc?
Buy a PS4.


>Anyone else has this issuewhere the game turns into a slideshow in zones where the game has to load multiple areas?
Yeah. My PC is getting fairly outdated though.
Some areas like Dragonslayer Armor fight are fucking suffering.

>>157143241
>Make faith build for shits and giggles
>SL 54
>Buff Raw Dragonslayer's Axe with Lightning Blade
>I am become death, destroyer of worlds

This thing rips through hosts and phantoms like butter

>>157143490
Overhead attacks can be aimed, yes. When you get the hang of aiming and leading enemies into strikes, that's when it becomes fun

>>157143490
Yeah. 1H Greataxes can keep turning right until the attack touches the ground. You can go more than 180 during the duration of the attack. Once you learn to aim it properly, you'll never miss.

Fromsoft never gave us that much control over attack aiming every again. God forbid greataxes be good or something.

>>157143916
Tons of signs down on ps4 mate

>>157143890
Yes. I've been messing with the control panel settings since day 1 and nothing seems to work.

>>157144243
My advice would just to turn everything that can be application controlled to that, and everything else off.

I personally run the game with an old GTX 760 and I can keep the game on max settings in windowed mode without any performance issues. I used to have major problems in Lothric Castle, ADP, Archives, etc. but the problem turned out to just be mainly caused by SSAO I had set to on in that control panel that the game didn't like. After the latest driver update I have virtually no performances issues anywhere anymore, even memory leaks are unnoticeable.

If you're running a better card than me, there's no reason for you to be seeing those performance issues unless you're on out of date drivers or fucked with some 3d settings that need to be un-fucked.

Theres too many fucking spiders in Brightstone Cove.

Anor Londo is quite active, I got invaded 3 times in 30 minutes.

I went out of sequence in the Cathedral and raised the third bridge before I met Patches, and now he doesn't seem to want to spawn. Will he pop up later or is there a way to get him to spawn now? Or do I just have to wait until my next playthrough

>>157145459
What Sl? How much time do you spend to invade someone yourself?

>>157145164

Yep, one of the weaker parts of an already weak game. I like the knights, but there's way too many of them.
Just power through it till you hit the dlcs.

>>157145520
If you enter the rafters area before meeting patches, his encounter in the cathedral is skipped.

You can meet him now by doing the tower key encounter instead.

>>157145520
You don't need to meet him at Cathedral to get him to show up locking the door in Firelink.

>>157145520
She SHOULD spawn if you open the main door to the cathedral, the one right before you meet Patches.

If you need a finisher, just use throwing knives. All surgespam will do is force a sun princess swap and get you passive'd to death. The Cancermancer is a meme, nobody with access to regen falls for it anymore.

>>157145815
How does this work? I remember doing that when the game first came out. Its to open the Shrine right?
On that note, whats the speed running process in DS2?

>>157146420
Yeah you need either 4 greatsouls, or 1 million souls to open the shrine.

Rotten is easy, particularly because he's weak to thrust damage and has big counter windows so you can ascetic him a couple of times and kill his beefed up NG+ version for lodes of soles to buy your way through the shrine instead of completing the other areas.

I wouldn't actually recommend this, because if you are unironically not enjoying your time with this game you should just stop playing it instead of forcing your way through. If you're just meming then you might as well go through the game the proper way as skipping shit will deprive you of precious content to pretend to hate on 4chan for reddit gold and upvotes.

>>157146420
Yes, shrine either forces you to kill 4 bosses or farm 1M SM to skip a lot of bad levels, the rotten is just the fastest boss to kill and I actually like the levels before him slightly

>>157146369
have you tried Throwing Knives on a low STR/DEX build?

>>157146657
Also you miss potential weapons, boss weapons and estus upgrades from areas you miss

And you need to do iron king anyway to get to one of the dlcs

>>157146657
I can assure you that I am thoroughly and completely unironically not enjoying this piece of shit game, when it was released and this SOTFS edition. I havent played the DLC and thats the only reason I'm playing it. Also because DS3 was too fucking fast for me.

>>157146751
Balance is so fucked in this game, honestly
Who thought it was a good idea for scaling to literally triple the effectiveness of thrown items, but only on ONE single specific build?
Why are all but one of the thrown items exclusively quality scaling? Why is fucking everything goddamn quality scaling?
Why does a D or E in strength or dex return so much goddamn damage? Even on shit like the Dragonslayer greataxe, you get like 60 more AR from going to 40 dex, despite it having almost no dex scaling.

It's goddamn silly.

>>157146859
Sounds like you've already made up your mind and won't enjoy the dlc

Just play something else senpai

>>157146859
>>157147008
the dlc is the best part of ds2 by far, and almost redeemed the awful base game in my eyes.

>>157146859
Your friends over at /v/ will love this. You should go over there and tell them how much you hate that terrible game you can't stop playing, they're sure to bump your thread a lot and give you a bunch of replies.

Have there been any new about balance changes once the DLC rolls out?

I'm probably going to make a new character and try the Anri's Straight Sword Luck build that I've seen in speedruns if they don't nerf it.

AoA alone is going to have wolf packs that stalk you, those Followers hiding in snow, blood flies, tree woman that shoot fireballs at you and whatever other bullshit they hide for a second part of it so i'd say it will probably surpass the Peak in terms of difficulty.

>>157148071
Really? It didn't look particularly difficult at all. The fly things were really slow and didn't show anything particularly threatening. They seemed to just be fodder enemies.

What made ADP difficult was the fact that dagger sneks typically lunge from outside your range and then either jump back out, or sit there and mash on you until you back away from them. The standard paradigm of "attack as they enter your range" that shuts down literally every poiseless enemy with ease doesn't work as well against them because of those movements. The standard hollow mooks in AoA don't have anything like that and they're also poiseless, so they'll be dealt with the same way you deal with everything else that lacks poise. The only interesting feature of them was copious ranged attacks, but those only tend to be an issue if your damage is low. The test character, an SL100 with a refined longsword, was killing those mooks in 3 R1s so unless you're significantly weaker than that, the threat of being overwhelmed is virtually nonexistent.

The difficulty of the DLC will hinge entirely upon the big guys and how many times they combine those big dudes with mook support. The mooks on their own will be managable and the wolf pack will just be "please attune fire surge" the encounter.

This is honestly one of the things I dislike about DaS3's design. DaS2 did a good job in its DLCs of making multi-mook encounters dangerous by giving them enough poise to where you couldn't just mash through a group of enemies and move on. DaS3 almost never makes you fight two enemies with poise at the same time, and thus the amount of times you actually have to apply multi-enemy management is virtually nonexistent. It looks like the DLC will be continuing that trend and that';s disappointing because poiseless enemies you can just pre-empt and mash to death are boring. It's more like busywork than combat.

>>157146928

it's unfortunate but its the game we play

>>157148925
Yeah, was mostly asking in terms of mechanics or the like.

>>157146928
If you want one-stat builds you stay at lower levels where they are much stronger than trying to go glass cannon quality. It's that simple.

No meaningful balance changes or bugfixes.

>>157149067
You again?
I know you're very fond of your shitty level 50 "build" but I'm afraid it doesn't really work that way, and 1 build combination rapidly outscaling all others for almost every weapon and item in endgame pve level ranges is not okay, no matter how you choose to bully retarded low-level hosts on your twink.

>>157148518

Cute.

>>157148720
>The difficulty will hinge upon the big guys and how many times they combine those big dudes with mook support.
>The mooks on their own will be managable

That's the way the Souls game difficulty often works desu with the exception of places like Sen's Fortress, New Londo Ruins or Blighttown where the enemies aren't really tough but the environment is your main contender.

In Demon's / Dark Souls / Dark Souls 3 individual dreglings / Hollows / soldiers aren't too tough by and large, you can parry / shieldbreak them through skilled play, but what matters are their combinations and if they get to stagger you.

It's easy to overlook an ambush of a couple of soldiers and dregling guys, but if one of them gets a hit in and staggers you, you'll be open for a thorough raping from the guys around you.

Moreover, it's really satisfying to go through an area doing high-risk-high-reward gameplay where you can dumpster enemies relatively fast if you know what you're doing, but also get BTFO'd fast in return if you fuck up.

That is a fact in other souls games too. Only reason you don't see 40/45 in 1(but 27/45 quality is perfectly doable) is because there were other stats worth investing into, it's not quality being better fault, since it already was in other games

>1 build combination rapidly outscaling all others
No such thing.
Dex builds reach maximum potence around ~SL70 and can rape pve as good as quality builds with sharp sellswords. Str builds can do the same. The higher you go the better quality becomes but it's the same across all souls games and even BB.

Oh, in SL125 range i see no reason to use anything but 27(8)/45. HP gain you get from vitgouging with dex weapon ain't that big compared to the sheer versatility of quality.

>sharp and refined whip come out with the same AR anyways
wew

>>157149791
Yeah but DaS1's pvp was hot trash and the only function that scaling served was to increase the damage of your backstab.
Quality wasn't king in 2 because there was a wide variety of weapons with focused scaling, meaningful elemental scaling, no scaling, etc. It was worth investing points elsewhere because it gave you other meaningful tools.

in 3, one build is your one-stop-shop to everything of value. It's in equal parts a failure to make non-quality things valuable and in the fact that so many goddamn things are made for quality.

>tfw want to roleplay as turtle knight in das2 and farm loyce souls with others

How do I get his set? Farming?

>>157150045
In 2's case scaling itself was a hot garbage so i see no reason to even discuss that abortion where forcing set metalevel was impossible for the majority of its lifetime.
In BB even dex weapons got at least 50 AR for going full quality, in DS1 quality was godly as well, so is in DS3. It's a conscious design decision present across almost all soulsborne games so if you don't like it i don't understand what the fuck are you even doing in this general.

>>157150093
Yeah, the turtle armour drops from, the turtle knights.

FotFG drops the mossy version, Iron Keep drops the clean version.

>>157150093
>Farming?
Yes.
Be aware that the ones in Iron Keep drop "pristine" versions of the set while the ones in FotfG don't.

>stop not liking what I like
The point is, dumdum, that why give the players options if one alternative is so much cut and a half above the rest.

And there were still non-quality weapons in DS1 because you couldn't give every weapon refined scaling, you would still have enough "STR" and "DEX" weapons to make a difference.

>>157150542
Not really.
OLD fromsoft is very different and you're not likely to enjoy it unless you're coming off a KF kick. It's a lot like the original AC games in that you fight the horrible controls, bad menu and UI design and extremely poor, unreadable visuals more than you fight the enemies or difficulty.

>>157150557
For the few non quality weapons you'd just spend more into end, vit or spells, but your actual damage would be inferior to quality.
Quality ought to be stronger than only dex/str, the problem lies on other non physical stats being weak, not on it being strong

>>157150557
>one alternative is so much cut and a half above the rest
It's not. There's a shitton of absolutely viable builds, some are just better at lower or higher levels. I don't see people crying about raw builds being shit in SL120 range yet they dominate in lower level pvp, why would i consider complains about one-stat builds be valid when they have level ranges where they dominate too.
>And there were still non-quality weapons in DS1
This is true for DS3 as well.
The only difference is that some of DS1's non-quality weapons were top tier and this ain't true for DS3 where things like yhorms and sellswords are just high tiers..

>>157148518
Who is that? I don't remember that npc

I think one stupid thing I miss from DS2 that I wish they would have put in DS3 was the redeye ring from DS2. I don't know why but I really enjoyed being a tank summon like my boy Sellsword Luet.

Where's that guy who post the webms of killing people using the ladder in crucifixion woods?

Just tried it myself when I was losing a fight that was about to turn into a 1v2. That shit worked and I have no idea how or why anyone would actually fall for that but it was hilarious

>>157150867
No you don't understand. DaS1 had a lot of pure-stat weapons.
Every curved sword
Every katana
Every thrusting sword
Every greathammer
Every greataxe
Every hammer

So on and so forth.

You could use many of these weapons on a quality build, but you'd have wasted almost 40 levels in a stat that offers no meaningful impact on your damage. In DaS1, a D or E scaling meant D or E. There was almost no value in speccing into a letter grade below C.

There was a collection of quality weapons that were extremely efficient and optimal at 27/40 or 40/40, but they were the minority, and most weapons were highly inefficient at those stats because so many points were wasted.

In DaS3, this is not the case.
Every hammer is a quality weapon
Every Axe is a quality weapon save 1
Every thrusting sword is a quality weapon
Every curved sword is a quality weapon save for 1
So on and so forth.
Quality stats are almost NEVER wasted because E and D return way more than they have any right to. A D in 3 is worth more than a C in 1, but an S in 3 is worth less than an A in 1. The result is every pure stat weapon being mediocre and almost every single weapon in the game being optimal on quality, because high-value Ds and refined infusions together ensure that the double-stat investment of 40/40 is never wasted and never inefficient.

>>157151214
You get it by killing Ludleth, which you can do right after beating Gundyr. Like the Fire Keeper, he respawns when you leave the area.

The problem though is that it's near impossible to be a tank/wall in DaS3 outside of using a greatshield and stacking Perseverance and maybe using Havel's Greatshield WA.

The only thing I hate about how stats work in ds3 is that you need so much stat investment to play any mage that even at sl120 you're going to be gimped in one way or another. Compared to the melee who can just go 40/40 use whatever he wants and call it a day.

>>157151617
Magic is totally fucked. I can't even imagine what they were thinking with it. The current system has magic be completely goddamn unusable for 2/3 of the game, then suddenly blow up and trivialize the rest of it. The fact that there's a hidden damage modifier that reduces the damage of all spells in pvp is unforgivable. It just reeks of how rushed and poorly thought out DaS3's balance is.

>>157151756

DS3 takes heavy inspiration from BB where virtually every single weapon with dual scaling was better on quality build as well. This doesn't mean, however, that one stat builds can't utilize them effectively, they just do it on lower levels. Nothing stops you from being a murder machine with gotthards on SL60 skill build, it will be way more effective than going full quality with like 20 vig. The only thing to blame with community is their desire to limit everything to one level meta and cry when they understand that the game is not balanced about it and developers give no shit about it.

Just going to level my quality halberd user.

It's infuriating that I can't hit anyone with magic unless they're afk or not looking or just like their first day playing. While straight sword users and katana can dash or spam r1 and hit me constantly even though they are no where near me.


I'm done with this shit trying to make shit builds work. You could do it in ds 1 because of the insane damage when shit finally did hit them. And in ds2 their was so much utility spells you could make anything work.

But in ds3. From now on ALL my characters will only be using either straight swords or halberds.

Magic is not fucked. You are just expecting magic weapons to match the damage output of quality weapons while having an entire casting system on top of it with entire repertoire of spells. Even then crystal and dark weapons only do like 20 damage less in pvp than quality weapons which is completely negligible compared to their insane shield chipping. But caster builds would benefit from ~SL150 meta as it will allow them to get rid of the sage ring.

It's unbelievable. You require a larger stat investment than quality to deal less damage, more slowly. FP is basically "what if stamina didn't recover unless you chugged and you could only attack a couple times before losing the ability to attack completely"

That's not even to bring up how genuinely bad most spells are. Magic is just fucked.

From seems to think that just because spells do more damage, they need to become unbearably inefficient. Soul Spear, for some god-forsaken reason, costs over twice as much as Great Heavy Soul Arrow, has a comparable casting speed, but only does around 15% more damage. CSS is in the same situation, but only justifies its cost because it MIGHT just outright 1 shot people if theyve taken any damage or have low Vigor. And thats probably only if you have Crystal Sage's buff, and they somehow dont dodge that slow piece of shit.
Of course, this still requires 60 Int, +10 Court Sorcerer's, both rings, maybe the clutch ring too, and Dusk's crown.
At least Pyromancy is pretty good and ACTUALLY EFFICIENT, and Miracles are a 1-trick pony of trading 800 dmg Sunlight Spears into people's faces. But... jesus fuck, Sorceries and Miracles need more early game viability. Pyros are just running around with CBS at SL 40, meanwhile CSS and SS are locked behind the very end of the game. The hell.

Scaling letter value should affect softcaps.

E at 15
B should softcap at 40, A at 60 and S should have no softcap and continue meaningful up to 99.

You can farm the golden fatties in Grand Archives for free levels and reach 120 pretty easy.

~SL95 after Soul of Cinder
Which means literally figuratively no farming for the objectively best meta, SL100, but still not bad at all for SL120

DaS2 and DaS3 should ALWAYS be the last two on a tier list. They are by far the weakest.

How do I get CE to work fuck
I open the table and nothing happens

>>157155503
Play DS1.

>>157157409
You might be using a table for an older version of the game. Sometimes when they patch the game, old scripts stop working.

>>157157408
that's just a hiperbole
i like it comfy when i don't have to care that every single point has to be spent with precision

>>157157480
I followed the OP pasta, is it outdated?

>>157157593
So you're a shitter, which he already said. Glad we cleared that up.

>>157157639
Most of the tables in the Pastebin seem to be for 1.05 and the game is on patch 1.07.

Let's just check one thing first, did you attach CE to DarkSoulsIII.exe? If not, it's the little computer icon in the upper left side of the window.

Hate having to beg, but does anyone have a spare Ring of Favor +2 on PC?

All games have their strengths and weaknesses.

DaS1 had great level design and game world design as well as a good combination of challenge deriving from environment and the mobs.

DeS / DaS 3 were combat oriented with a lot of very good combat sections and DaS 3 had a lot of polish going into it, giving all the bosses a second form and it's own soundtrack.

DaS2 is the most content packed into a game and suits a very RPG-y playstyle that appeals to people who want to progress their characters.

>>157156989
At SL100 quality 40/40 can also have 40 Vit and 30 End which makes it objectively the shittiest most boring meta, 120-130 is better since that's when slow heavy weapons and magic start to become viable

>>157158493
No, you just have to be cute

You're going to get + rings anyway. Full playthrough + 2 speedruns is enough for 120

If you're PvPing souls you already are an autist. Why don't you go all the way and join us?
By speedrun, I mean not killing any enemy you don't need to, should be 150 or so, assuming you don't want to buy items

>>157159851
Because I could spend 2-3 hours building my character or I could spend 6-8 hours building my character and getting + rings so my numbers will be slightly bigger. No thanks.

does DaS3 still crash with lighting up?

How is the Lothric Knight Greatsword? I really like the moveset.

Should I Lightning infuse it?

>>157160509
best UGS
have it refined or raw depending on your stats and buff it with LB or lightning resin if you SL doesn't allow you to get decent fth

>>157160509

It's the highest damaging UGS at quality stats with Gold Pine Resin/Bundles on top. Lightning infusion does shit for it and just makes it unbuffable, you'd want base infusion with Lightning Blade if you really want to use it on a Faith build, but ideally it just needs 27/40 STR/DEX with Gold Pine.

Neat, I'll try it out.

WIthout resin, does it beat a refined Zwei or Profaned GS?

>>157160328
Works on my machine.

What I don't get is the people who take souls pvp super seriously.
Like, it's not really a good display of skill since the netcode is ass so if you're playing something competitively why not play something inherently competitive like fighting games?
If you're playing for anything other than to have fun in this sort of game then it's pretty stupid

>>157160968

It's about equivalent with a Zwei but less then the Propane GS, which is the highest physical AR quality UGS.

Astora's Greatsword is generally the most practical UGS though due to its leight weight and broken rolling attack.

>>157160968
you're really going to want the extra lightning damage tacked on

>>157161129
>broken rolling attack
It's still broken? Fuck.

If only they changed it to the other UGS rolling R1, it'd be my favourite.

>>157161124
Go ahead and call me cheap
It's abotu what works

It's about the destination, not the journey

it's a place where FGC rejects can feel themselves a good players
take that neptunus-something faggot, he claims that he played in quake as a pro the very idea of which is laughable
honestly i wish Miyazaki did everything to discourage duelfaggotry, sadly it's not possible

It's meant to be a deconstruction of triple A design priorities and artistic direction.

>Do 40 dmg a hit to Hodrick in Crucifixion Woods with my Ricard's
>Do 50 with Charcoal Pine Resin
Why does From hate small weapons that arent Longswords?

>It's a "People say X build/weapon suck, but they are only talking about duels" episode

Makes me laugh. Especially when they make a whole video complaining about it. A duel is about 1v1 with matched weapons after all, so why would you bring magic to a sword fight?

>>157161929
I'm coming but I'm only SL 93.

are there diminishing returns on drop rate in DS1? it seems when I go to kill slimes in the depths the first few runs are good and then I get nothing.

>>157161781
The propaned sword was quite efficient for my character, the wa is both useful and fucking rad with the flame effect
Plus, the rolling attack will help you for many situation

Some katana weeb build shouldn't be able to cast spells faster than a wizard with max fp
