"Humans" who become "dragons" just turn into humanoid pseudo-dragons, they don't actually become fully-fledged dragons. Oceiros is only big because he's a boss, just like Artorias and most bosses in DaS2.

Besides, why would the titled "Dragonslayer" choose to become a dragon just to appease the one who betrayed him and his entire order? It makes absolutely no sense.

>>157621790
Git gud, or just conserve an Ember until the area is cleared of enemies and pop one in the invasion zone.

What I'm saying is that without any melee stars and only faith the swordspear is way better and has more ar.

The bident just has way too low of a base ar and it only gets a little more scaling. On top of that I didn't even add the lighting ar from sword spear.


Also u can't parry 2h glaive from range.

The bident might outperform with higher faith than what I have but it would need a sl of over 100 or so and would be a pretty weak build that's easily shut down by a parry tool

No, thrust damage just temporarily becomes 0% during attacks, so someone wearing the Llewellyn set takes exactly as much damage from a thrust counter as someone wearing full Havel's, all other things equal.

Your thrust ABS is lowered by a fixed amount and goes into the negatives if it's greater than your current thrust ABS

Fun fact: even moves designed to do nothing but take a hit, like the first portion of stomp have the thrust ABS penalty.

>>157623994
You see your ABS go up, then the thrust plummets for a moment.
Most of the time it still brings your ABS into negatives, despite the bonus from stomp.

The exception is the FUGS stomp, which I guess is treated like a block so it doesn't have the penalty

>>157626047

Arena looks nice though. I was trying to get into invasions since it was something I overall avoided like the plague and then I remembered why I avoided it like the plague, because it's still unbalanced as shit in favor of the hosts.

I had a great invasion though (against crusaders nonetheless) and wound up going from a 3v3 situation to a 1v3 situation. I ran for it hoping to just survive maybe even crystal out, then as I got to the top of the roof I remembered there was another invader up there who was doing the obscuring ring dragonslayer bow shenanigans.

Essentially, unknowingly and naturally, ended up 2v1'ing these guys chasing me 1 at a time, like "surprise motherfuckah!". It was so great, such a good turn around when I thought all hope was lost, then me and my bro invader went down and with other aldrichs we fought against more "summoning another phantom"s and won in the end. Long battle where I killed something like 5 or 6 summons total and finally the host. Made my fucking DAY.

You know why it was fun though, I realized after getting ganked a bunch? Because it was relatively even numbers of a group vs. a group. I was playing during a time where we were getting constant invader summons in from aldrich to regular invaders, while the host kept bringing in more crusader phantoms. It was a huge but relatively even battle with changing numbers and estus chugging all the time.

That's what I want. Ganking is just not fun at all and ruins the game, I have high hopes for the DLC. Skys said he's got a huge announcement tomorrow at like 9 AM CST iirc, focused on PvP that's supposedly gonna turn the whole game on its head. I'm hyped as fuck, from what he's said on stream FROM is actually focusing on PvP this time around. They actually DO give a shit now, so he says, and this DLC is gonna be a BIG deal. Get fuckin hype.

It's common now because they're huge fucking faggots and oroboro is popular in the souls community for some reason.

After getting ganged up on something like 4 or 5 times in a row I didn't want to do invasions anymore. It's pretty pathetic as they brag about it on stream like they're not total garbage abusing the system.

Start with Cathedral of the Deep, then Undead Settlement, then Carthus and then Irithyll.

If it's past Irithyll then it's gonna be shit because the devs have clearly learned absolutely nothing.

just made mid level invader for fucking around and figured i'd stop at +6 weapons, but does that even matter? going to +10 just means hosts can have +10 too, so its not a huge deal, right?
>>
So what's the deal with the Arena? Is it like the old Arena?

I didn't play the other souls games except for 3 (yet), I was wondering if someone could explain at least how it used to work so I could have some idea. Really want DS3 to be an infinite replayability sort of game but invasions are so shit and 1v1's get boring after several hundred hours, hoping Arena can be that fix of essentially "invasions, but not awful unbalanced skilless gangbang bullshit"

>>
>>157628065
Aside from the fact that the trailer showed a new NPC and cutscene there, it's the perfect place in game progression for a DLC
Any later and you're redoing too much of the main game to reach it. Any earlier and it's far too early for anybody to have a reasonable chance of progressing without just sprinting through and skipping everything. Cathedral is +3-+4 and roughly level 30-40. Absolutely ideal point for DLC entry as it gives low level characters a fighting chance and high level ones can always come back later.

Plus anybody that misses Cathedral at first will come there after hitting the Irithyll barrier and be at ~+5 and level 50, which is probably what the DLC will be balanced for. The DLC will no doubt give you nothing but large shards in the first portion, and only transition to rewarding chunks and other upgrade materials after overcoming a progress barrier.

BB was about as linear as DaS3 and its DLC was right after the boss that marks the 1/3 point in game progression, and was around the point a player would be +3 and level 40. It also provided mostly double-shards (the equivalent to large shards) in the first area and had only enough chunks for you to reach +7 by the time you reached the first boss. That boss was a barrier that blocked progress deeper into the DLC and also blocked access to most of the DLC's upgrade materials. They will probably do the same thing again, though it may not be with a bossfight this time around.

Yeah except that aside from the quality of life improvements the game has only gotten more challenging.

So what's up with whatever's higher up than The Old One? As I understand it, the latter is both the source of soul arts and the god worshiped by Urbain & co. But the intro states
>On the first day, man was granted a soul, and with it, clarity. On the second day, upon Earth was planted an irrevocable poison; a soul-devouring Demon.
and bloblant says
>Surely you have seen for yourself… the pain and suffering that fills this world! But fight poison with poison. God is merciful, and so, created the Old One. The Old One will feed upon our souls, and put an end to our tragic realm of existence!

You can't actually "give" yourself the Fire Keeper's mask. It doesn't technically exist as an item.

The only thing you can do is turn another piece of equipment into the mask visually, but other players won't see it if you do.

If God created the Old One, who created God?

It's not meant to suggest a being beyond the Old One. "God did X" is just an english phrase suggesting that something happened that was without discernible cause or otherwise utterly outside human control.

Similar to how we describe natural disasters as "acts of god"
It's a secular invocation of the big G.

Allant believes that human existence is a sin, because life is filled with suffering. The evilness of mankind can only be silenced with demons.

For Arena to be good as a replacement for how awful the invasion system is.

Dark Souls 2 you instantly just started the loading screen. There was no fucking bullshit.

PS4 it's even worse. Because of the load times, it ends up being that you finally arrive in the hosts world like a FULL FUCKING MINUTE after the very first confirm notice was made via matchmaking. In which time the host could've been killed twice over.

If the invader dies while you and the host are desynched and the host isn't playing animations, you get sent home as if you did the job but no reward is given.

Shit fucking network code.

Why not just be a Blue Sentinel then? You get the exact same fucking "concord kept" reward. That's how I got the stuff for the DMB buff that I never even use. And this was back before they had the whole family share whatever fuck thing, before they even tried to fix it.

Like

Just be a blue sentinel I got summoned as that shit all the time. Fuck, I literally just put it on now for shits and giggles (SL125) and got summoned after maybe a minute or less.

I don't get the problem. Is it a lore thing where you're like "but I don't WANNA be a blue sentinel mommy, I wanna be a dark moon blade LET ME BE A DARK MOON BLADE ONLY THAT OR NOTHING WHAAAAA" or something?

I've literally never had a problem with getting the concord kept x30 being a blue sentinel, and I did it back before they even attempted to fix the connection issues, when it was supposedly even worse.

Doesn't change the fact that it's pretty bullshit. Also the 1v1 stuff doesn't bother me it's the gank squad hosts. The worst being the kind of hosts that clear out a small area to fight in, pop a seed, and constantly run away while letting their phantoms fight. They stay close to the summoning area so they can just summon them back if one of them dies. All they do is run, roll, and summon. And of course they have twice your estus and +30% health so that's always nice.

You don't. There's no need to.
Weapon memory alone is a sufficient system for preventing overt twinking.
Preparation is literally the only advantage an invader has over a host, so within reason it should be embraced as an aspect of asymmetrical multiplayer balance.

As long as the weapon itself isn't upgraded well beyond what the host has access to, any weapon is fine.

Fromsoft went halfway by making armour unupgradeable.

Remove the upgrading of weapons. You just, get the weapon, and that's it. Pretty much every weapon either has high base damage or shit scaling, shit base damage but good scaling, and a combo of both of them.

The only thing that changes is infusement. That stays.

You just level up as you progress. You don't have to farm anything, no shards, no nothing. No slabs, no chunks. Just your stats = damage.

I honestly think invaders should get health or something back for killing cooperating phantoms.
>>
>>157635363
No problem. It gives a % of bonus AR (and a minor health regen effect) rather than GMW's flat bonus based on your magic adjust, which is pretty neat on big STR weapons with huge AR.

It looks pretty snazzy if you wear the untrue dark ring, too.

>>157635389
Remove luck and reallocate starter class stats to reflect that change. This will also act like a much needed buff to Sorcerer and Cleric.

>This will also act like a much needed buff to Sorcerer and Cleric.
How?

>>157635558
He probably means because they currently start with a worthless 12 and 13 luck respectively, inflating their SL and doing fuck-all.
>>
>>157635150
i personally don't use shields so i wouldn't know
i think your set would look nicer if you used a chime or a talisman or something in that hand instead of a shield though
>>
>>157635558
Sorcerer has 12 luck, Cleric has 13. If luck is removed starter classes will have their stats re-allocated to reflect the absence of a stat. Classes with sub 10 luck will start a higher level and classes with greater than 10 luck will either be a level or three lower or get 1-3 free points.

Yeah, the idea was that his lower half got burnt by chaos fire. The dark leggings kinda look like charred wood to match the demon fists.

There's not really much else in the game that I think matches. Lorian leggins got blue and Arty has chicken legs.

In your opinion should a magic infused weapon deal more or less damage than a regular weapon with the magic weapon buff?
>>
>>157635823
>EEEEEEEEEE
nito pls go
>>
>>157635658
Hmm, I don't use those often, but I'm willing to give them a shot.
I use the grass crest shield mostly for it's stam regen, so I don't block much anyway.
>>
>>157635835
Magic-infused weapons shouldn't be buffable in a system where split defences are flat, because it makes them mandatory.
Elemental infusions should serve as a viable option for pure-casters and a backup weapon for buff builds when their buff expires. If they scale, they should roughly match the performance of any other pure-stat weapon
>>
>>157635959
I meant should like a rapier+3 that has been buffed with magic weapon deal more or less than a magic rapier+3, assuming character stats don't come into play.
>>
>>157636074
I think the damage potential of the buffed weapon should be higher, because physical stat + buff stat is effectively comparable to quality while an infused weapon is essentially a pure-stat weapon. That said, they should be roughly in parity for comparable stat investment, and the buff should only pull ahead when it makes effective use of both the buff scaling stat and the weapon's scaling stat.

could storm king be ornstein? in order to become a dragon you need to be naked right? Under the nameless king arena, we find Ornstein's set which tells us Ornstein was a loyal guardsman to the Firstborn and they had a strong relationship. if ornstein died then hes armor and weapon should be on corpse but there's no corpse. Even when the Firstborn absorbs the soul of the storm drake, it explodes into lightning just like Ornstein did in the first game

Yes. It's what makes your adventure through the game your own. Playing offline makes it more linear, theres no invasions, player summonings, that aren't scripted and make it less chaotic and memorable.

No it doesn't. Playing online kills the atmosphere and takes any surprise and exploration almost entirely out of the question (even if you choose not to read notes, huge clusters of them are an indication that something is up.)

80 is a meme except for NG endgame invasions, 100 or 120 would be far better especially on a Faith/Buff build since you could get more HP for survivability I should know since when I've fought you in FCs your biggest weakness is lack of health.. Longsword is already good, but alternative good options you might like are Red-Hilted Halberd, the basic Glaive, Lothric Knight Long Spear, Wolnir's Holy Sword, Twinspears/swords and Saint's Bident buffed with Lightning/Darkmoon Blade.

Ebrietas. love everything about her and her fight.

DeS - Dirty Colossus (looks dumb and is weak AF) , DaS - Stray Demon (shit middle child in a shit trio) , DaS2 - Royal Rat Authority (?? lmay) , DaS3 - Yhorm (less of a fight than the Deacons) , BB - Micolash (fuck this idiot)

>Armored Spider
Long corridor leading up to her small area. You are clearly meant to fight her by ducking into and out of the corridor.
The area theme is fire, the spiders spits fireballs.
She has precise movements to try and force you back into the corridor so she can shoot fireballs at you.
Shoots webs out her butt like a normal spider.

>Duke's Dear Freja
Large semi circular arena with a random fucking drop at one end despite you already being like 200 meters underground yet still above ground.
Freja starts in the center of the arena and flails about.
No clear indication of what to do since she spergs around.
You are also being continually assaulted by a bunch of smaller spiders with retarded hitboxes.
She actually has two heads for some reason (how does she spin webs if her abdomen is replaced with another head?) and you are meant to alternate hitting them.
Sometimes one of the heads will die and you can't hit that side any more, making the fight much harder.
Also shoots giant fucking lazer beams because reasons.

Shooting gallery bullshit

Uses huge AoE to prolong the fight for no reason
Webs you to make you even easier to shoot in the already difficult shooting gallery

>Duke's Dear Freja
Large arena allowing proper movement around the boss, thematically looks like a spider's nest and fits with the spider theme
Freja starts far enough away that a player has a chance to size up the fight a bit
Obvious fuck-me spots are her eyes, as they're a different color than the rest of her
Additional enemies can be handled by a player, or made non-hostile by holding a torch, enabling different methods of killing the boss
Can attack from both sides, ensuring that circlestrafing doesn't trivialize the boss
Focusing one head will eventually break it, encouraging players to spread their damage out
Has a powerful ranged attack that she does if you're too passive, but is slow and can be baited to enable the player to deal massive damage

You won't die in less than 2 hits from anything, 3 from most things.

And it's not a matter of spongeyness, it's a matter of enemies not just dying in 2 hits so you actually have to handle combat encounters instead of just mashing the attack button as everything dies.

>>157642265
Yeah, you just have to mash a bit longer.
>>
>>157642264

But when enemies kill you in two hits, and there's more than one of them, you don;t have the luxury of time to mash 3 or 4 hits.
That's when combat gets interesting.
>>
>>157642152
Correct

>>157642180
Spiders are not bugs they are arachnids, bugs are anything belong to Hemiptera and they share suckers, nymph-adult life cycles and mate with songs. I don't know if he's using it correctly to refer to DeS enemies but you can't complain about that.

I can't sleep so I decided to poke around some stuff I was suspicious about but hadn't really bothered with.

So, you can know what NPC a bullet corresponds to because they share the same first three numbers. For instance:
>Aldrich ID
>515000
>Aldrich's Bullets
>Start at 5150700 and end at 5150760

>Soul of Cinder ID
>528000
>SoC's Bullets
>Start at 5280081 and end at 5280910

With that in mind, I figured I could maybe find some cut content stuff. CrimsonBat's ID is 502000, so I looked through the 502 bullets.

In order, here's
>5020800
>5020830
>5020840

It's not particularly surprising that Crimson Bat would be a fire related boss, but it's kinda neat. Of the other cut enemies, the only one I found bullets for was 512000 SnakeSoul, all of which are (also unsurprisingly) just poison mist variants.

There isn't any explanation for it as far as I know. I forgot one more thing that the firekeepers have in common though. All of them have a flaw of some sort.

Anastacia's tongue and feet were cut because she disrespected the gods.
The Fair Lady was corrupted by the Chaos Flame.
The Lady of the Darkling is described to be hideous.
The Stone Dragon's horns are disfigured.

In summary, this brings the grand total of things we know about Crimson Bat to 5.

>2. There is a unused "Soul of the Great Bat"
>3. The Soul states the bat lived underground
>4. There is an unused Bonfire location below the Demon Ruins
>5. CrimsonBat has fire attacks associated with it

So you can start to get a picture of the boss, and that picture looks a little like Sinh. Considering the possibility of there having been a cut path from the demon ruins to the ledge where Alva invades, I wonder what the likelihood was that the Bat was the boss guarding that pathway.

One thing ds3 showed me was the amount of casual shitters that have now infested this series.

Faggots, all of them. And fuck Miyazaki for allowing this to happen.

It is worth noting that dragons are referred to as bats once and only once in the series, when Gough gloats about shooting down Kalameet. I suppose it's not outside the realm of possibility we lost out on an actual dragon fight in favour of fucking Ancient Wyvern, but all things considered it's more likely some sort of demon design that was forgone in favour of ODK.

Unfortunately, it doesn't load any actual terrain for the area when you warp to it, so all we know is the location. We can't really tell how much was cut with some of the stuff like this, since we just have little scraps.

>>157643894
I'm not saying it was going to be revisiting the actual character of Sinh, just that a fight against a flying, fire-breathing enemy in a subterranean cave sounds a bit similar. The main problem a fight like that would have is preventing the boss from being as flighty as Sinh, since it kinda hurts the pace of the battle.

If you walk forwards far enough with gravity locked, it'll load Tsorig's area, so the unused bonfire location is at the same elevation. It might even be possible that it was meant to lead out to the bat instead of being filled with lava.

Unfortunately, the game only loads parts of maps the player collides with, and it doesn't seem like there's any collision for the unused area.

The thing I hate most about invading pontiff's is other invaders.
How can a collection of people be so unbelievably bad at this game? Every single one of them is a retarded liability that swings wildly and hits other invaders more often than their target, gives away positions with stupid buffing sounds and unwittingly blocks ladders, doorways, etc. because they cannot actually fathom that they are not the only entity present on the map.

I honestly can't tell if the CE-using ganksquads or the mentally handicapped invaders are worse.

Which soulsborne game did you have the most f*n playing through the first time excluding the first game you played?
>>
>>157648887
desu the WA is overrated.
It doesn't move you forward at all if you start off too close to them, so at close range they can avoid it by packpedalling
It tracks really poorly so something laggy people will just strafe past it since the hits are registering delayed
It breaks hyperarmour, but half the time it doesn't for no apparent reason
It combos into an L1, except half the time it doesn't for no apparent reason
Sometimes it hits for 500 damage
Sometimes it hits for 98 damage
Sometimes the knee-hit will work and stagger your target, but it usually doesn't
And sometimes you have hyperarmour, but usually not.

The only way I've found it to work consistently is if you roll through someone's R1 and then WA through the second R1, but it still fails sometimes for one reason or another.

The tank/caster was just an example, we could think of many other strategies such as cheesing it with arrows. The starting zones are relatively easy though

This might be the most disappointing set of dlc patch notes I've ever read. It's like they got caught up on poise memes and minor buffs to useless WAs that will still be useless instead of addressing all the cancer that's been ruining the game
>>
>>157652161
I hope that they adjust the R2 animations, R1s are perfectly fine, especially on hollowslayer and drakeblood

>>
>>157652161
I would say they adjusted the hyper armor frames but that's already covered by the poise change

So I wonder what that poise change entails. As it is it already reduces poise damage by the listed amount (in percent).

PvP arena is accessed via the Firelink Shrine bonfire after some criteria is met. Arena is essentially the Kiln of the First Flame with some pillars thrown around. Very flat area. No gimmicks like the Dark Souls 2 arenas, but also no variety. Matchmaking is unknown, but there will be different "modes". (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, etc).

New Pyromancy mimics the "turret" orbs that the demons in the Demon Ruins use. You essentially fast it in front of you (like warmth) and it will continuously spit out fireballs towards opponents for a small amount of time.

The "Destructo-Disc" type miracle that you've seen in the promotional material has the ability to hit 5-7 times on larger enemies. You are able to roll out of it after 2 hits.

Two new sorceries include a Blizzard-esque spell that "instantly" Frostbites player characters. Think of it as Death Cloud from Demon's Souls in the speed that it takes to frostbite someone. Most likely going to be abused upon wake up.

Last spell is a new Frostbite Buff that applies frost to your weapon. Nothing too spectacular. (requires 15 int)

New "Frost Scythe" that has the same special attack as the woman in the trailer. Has natural frost-damage with a semi-unique moveset.

Fire-Mace/Torch that does a ton of damage. Special attack is a fire-breath that does multiple hits.

New "Spartan" Sword / Shield combo

Javelin Spear (weapon art is a a spear toss that acts like a great arrow). It magically appears back into your hand after the animation is over.

15 new weapons (includes shields). 4 new spells (all named above), and 5 new armor sets.

No returning items from previous games. NDA lifts in a few hours to expect this info to become widespread when others that also attended the preview come clean with their info.

It'll be any combination of quicker startup, longer active frames, better tracking and shorter recovery.
A little speed will make axes literal straightsword 2.0 weapons, which is kinda silly but hopefully it means they're buffing the warcry R2s, too. In DaS2, axes had the niche of big lingering hitboxes on their R2s and running attacks, which made them rollcatching gods. Maybe they'll give some of that niche back.

Hammers really do need the speed, but even with speed their bad range will still make them mediocre

It might be nice if the greatsword buffs are referring to 1H specifically, since 1H right now is dogshit compared to 2H. They don't really need much else since they were already the most balanced HA weapons.

I'm interested in seeing what the WA changes amount to. It sounds like the ODK hammer is now going to do a lava blast upon the initial L2, which will make it crazy good. I also want to see a world where neck swipe is good. I'm betting Wolnir's WoG is going to be as fast as the morne version now, which will be pretty nifty. I really can't imagine what changes to shield splitter and blindspot would be necessary to make them usable.

Had the urge to make a weeb build. Quality or dex?
Also, i'm not using the 2 kats. If I go quality, Black blade is the way to go, right? Dex is uchi and then later, chaos blade, right?

It was a hex in DaS2 and was kinda shit. Maybe they've made it better this time around.

Well warcry now lasts longer too so it's already been improved. My great club will like that change specifically and I imagine yhorm and BKGA users will appreciate it too. I wonder if it's being increased to a full 60 seconds like a weapon buff spell

They literally recycled the torch, gave it fire whip as a WA and said -1 new weapon for the DLC

What a sick joke.

we deed it
>>
>>157652546
if that turret has a warmth casting animation then you will be able to abuse the fuck out of it
it doesn't even need to deal a lot of damage, it just needs to FORCE people to move around while serpent also tracks them or your manually aimed GCFO predicts the direction of their next roll
overall, if what you've said is true it's gonna be an excellent addition to the pyro arsenal and will make an already strong class even stronger

So are the abyss and the deep the same shit or

I wonder if the frost buff is going to be dogshit.

I mean, frost is already dogshit but maybe it's getting buffed and they just didn't list it explicitly. And if they're not buffing it, then at least the spell could have a ridiculously high buildup so you can instafrost things with a combo or something.
>>
>>157652752
Imo it'd be cool if its return trajectory would follow your currently locked target. That way it can roll catch.
>>
>>157652776

I don't think they are the exact same. The term "Abyss" has not been lost in time or anything, we literally fight the Abyss Watchers.
>>
>>157652778
if it's just 15 int it can be good for sellsword shenanigans or any combo weapon in general
frostbite ain't strong but it needs one thing: to be easy as fuck to trigger
also don't underestimate the absorption debuff, it basically forces you to wear prisoner's chain for around 10 seconds in terms of defense debuff

So, assuming they don't fuck up the poise/hyper armor tweaks, VIT might actually be a thing proper? Interesting.

Poise's influence on HA only matters in weird edge cases anyways, if it's just numerical adjustment it will barely change anything.
>>
>>157652872
I don't think so.
It sounds like they're rebalancing HA modifiers and active frames and probably making poise from armour less utterly inefficient. I still wouldn't peg vit as a viable build spec, but rather the average poise for anyone wearing metal armour will probably be going up, and HA will probably be getting much more effective even without poise
