Actually no

It adds an extra little mini-combustion on all casts that aren't a buff. You will do more damage with combustion using it than the normal pyro flame and it's a nice little thing for your other casts if someone is all up in your face

also the mini combustion comes out SUPER fast

Based on the guy in the Corvian Settlement's dialogue after you beat Friede it sounds like the painted world has been going through cycles just like the outside world, except instead of restoring the world every time they let it rot and make a new painting. It would make sense that it's as far into the future as Dark Souls III is from Dark Souls I, and since the girl isn't named it wouldn't be totally out of the question that she's Ariamis.

Timestop is fun for screenshots. The way that I had it setup initially, NPCs are able to pivot to face the player even when frozen, which is not ideal, so I'm working on something that will work more effectively.

>>158500957
I'm sorry, in my post to describe how retarded everyone was I caught autism and didn't word myself correctly, the painted world of ariandel IS far into the future, I'm trying to make sense of why people think the opposite

The consensus is (based on the Painter's dialogue) that the Painted World of Ariamis has yet to exist, and is what the Painter (hence Ariamis) is going to paint.

>and since the girl isn't named it wouldn't be totally out of the question that she's Ariamis.

I don't see any reason to believe she's Ariamis aside from the fact that she can paint -- and if Ariandel can paint a world, there's no reason to believe that Ariamis is the only one with that ability.

I only know how to use tables. The only thing you can edit in any table is how many respecs you have left. You used to be able to change your level and attributes whenever but the update broke it, and I respec'd my character accidentally not noticing, leaving the game basically unplayable.

1) Twin Princes. Good music, cutscene dialogue, challenging but fair reactive fight that gives you a cool GS if you do it twice. Cool method of keeping up boss pressure without resorting to inf stamina.

2) Pontiff Sulyvahn. Great atmosphere, good boss desing ok music. Challenging first half and decent second. Has a bit too much stamina in first half and you can't get his set or duel wield his greatswords.

3) Soul of Cinder. Good music, decent fight. Loves to delay his attacks too much. Should shift forms as well as weapons instead of always being a big armored guy.

4) Dancer. Again good aesthetic design, decent and dramatic fight.

5) Oceiros. OCELELELEAWT.

There are no aux effect clutch rings like DaS2.

Irithyll rapier and sword are shit, frozen weapon is shit. If you want to run a frostbite build you need the 2scythe and snap freeze. I don't understand why the irithyll weapons can't be buffed, they aren't particularly good nor frostbite particularly useful. You can put poison and bleed resins onto their respective counter part weapons for good effects so why not frost?

No it shouldn't? Who implies it should? It didn't do that either before the patch.

Made a item pseudo-walkthrough thing of the DLC, logging the location of every item:
http://pastebin.com/5NEf1FTF

It's shitty and disorganized since this is basically just what wrote down while playing, so I might have missed something. I also have only played through it on NG, but the only NG+ difference I'm aware of so far is that all the soul items are replaced by better ones.

There's also the possibility that this isn't useful in the slightest since everybody and their grandma has beaten the DLC by now but there you go.

That you want to have poise implies that. There's nothing stopping you from just using a weapon like pre-patch, you know. It's not like many people can facetank an MLGS hit anyway with how retarded the poise system is right now, and you lose nothing since pre-patch everything would stun you anyway.

When she does her stealth, she will dash off a pretty short distance. If you are close enough, you can see the direction she dashes if it's sideways. If you're blocking her patch, she will jump up and it'll be a little harder.

Every time she dashes, you can hear her starting and ending point. She also will kick up snow in the direction that she's moving if she's in snow, and will destroy the benches along the walls if she hits them.

The main strategy is to run directly at her when she backdashes twice. Just like Artorias, she ONLY does this when she's about to stealth.

When you kill her, she becomes a hollow and wanders off to do hollow things.
You loot her armour so she's just some naked jerky wandering around some where
When you "marry her" she hollows but retains her sanity, like all good londor hollows.

does Maria have delayed ground explosion waves?

does Maria have 15 hit touch-of-death true combos?

Does Maria turn invisible?

Friede's standard attack combos are much longer, quicker, and more vicious than anything Maria puts out. Maria is in slow-motion compared to Blackflame Friede's attack patterns.

Friede can turn the buff on her weapon off

Blackflame Friede has almost as much HP as Maria has in her whole fight

Friede forces you to dodge back, Maria requires you to dodge forward

>2scythes
by how cool it is, it's 10/10
in pvp however it's merely a 5/10. by going backwards you counter that shit
>crow quills
6/10 better use a real rapier. moveset is meh but cool looking
>crow talons
for a fist weapon, 7/10
the WA is good, the damage is solid, but good luck hitting people without the WA. fist weapons are still shit. only claw/caestus are viable

7/10. good weapon, good WA. can bully shitters with it.

>ccs with different WA
cancer/10

generic as fuck beside the WA. it's ok i guess, 6/10 for both

it's cute but shitty. 3/10
>greatbow of explosion
it's good in teams/free for all. fun as fuck.
8/10

generic as fuck moveset, amazing looking buff. shame it's only pyro weapon, but for pyro it's 9/10 weapon. one fo the best they could ask for

>>158511442
Quality >>>>>> DEX > Pyro >>>> STR > Sorcerer >>>> Miracles.

Miracles are hot garbage. The only good ones cost 15fth and every point beyond that is wasted. Int is realy fucking bad but they have some spammable spells that force a roll for free and that's at least something, and they have at least 1 good weapon.

Pyro is quality lite and effectively does the same thing but with less damage and fewer options. Their spells are bad outside of a couple actually decent ones, which makes them the best casting type.

STR is hot garbage outside of a handful of weapons that are solid.

Dex is quality with less damage

Quality is king.

Pyro spells consume a lot less FP than sorceries and miracles, so just invest some FP points into stamina instead and wave your big dick onyx greatsword around like a mad cunt while black flaming fags that get close, black serpenting morons that lurk around and rollspam, and chaos bedding everyone who isn't paying attention or is locked in an animation

>>
has anybody else completely lost the ability to perform rolling attacks?
Like I cannot actually get my game to perform a rolling attack. If I hit R1 during a roll, my character completes their roll, stands still for a moment and does a standing R1.
Doesn't matter how much I mash the button during the roll, it won't come out as a rolling attack. There's this really buggy looking wait time where the character recovers completely from their roll, stands still, and then does the attack. It's faster if I just time an R1 out of a roll.

Does anyone else have this issue? It's really annoying when using an ultra, since those rolling attacks can actually be useful. Rolling L1s work fine, it's just R1s

it is. literally go for a trade and you will see it. you block around 60% of the damage (wear some armor nigga) and have a nice little combo in return (r1, r1, R2 if they are gonna panic roll into jumping attack, most cases just go into jumping attack)
it's good as fuck.
>>
>>158513801
That would fucking explain it then, NZ anon here.

I'd do the running attack at someone, and then a half second later they receive my damage finally after I've just received theirs and we just both get stunned like a normal trade. So I guess block frames have to be active on your end when you're actually being hit registered by them. Which will never fucking happen for me.

Which means this weapon I just made +5 and was dreaming about can never ever work for me. Great. Just great.

The worst part about invasions prioritizing ganksquads is the fact that 9/10 times a host summons, it's because he's at the fog about to cross it.

People don't summon for help with areas, they summon for help with bosses. Unless you're going to let me follow them into the boss and fuck their phantoms there, don't force me to prioritize boss murdersquads that are 3 seconds from sending me home.

Especially if you're going to spawn me in some armpit of the map that's a 4 minute walk from the last relevant piece of content. Fuck, on top of everything else, why do the spawns also have to be so goddamn awful?

>>158513126
yeah, that's the whole point of the fight. it's actually probably the first time that From has used the 'phase' system itself against the player.

compare Friede to a boss like Sully or Nameless King. when you lost to those two, it probably wasn't because you ran out of estus. more likely it was because you were punished for healing at the wrong time.

Friede is the opposite. none of her phases by themselves are really that hard, and you're given more than ample time to heal usually, even during the third phase. she has attacks that do a lot of damage but usually don't outright kill you, and again you're given time to heal between them. the problem is that each time you fuck up, it reduces your chance of completing the later stages of the fight due to a lack of healing. it was designed to be an endurance test.

>>158514129
Valorheart doesn't work if you're being lagged. Same as iframes, block frames need to be active while you're being registered for damage. The weapon works fine for people getting decent connections, but otherwise the block frames will just appear to not work, because even though the animation matched up on your end to you countering them, the actual damage registers on your afterwards and results in a standard trade and if they have poise, you're fucking deleted.

It's literally a shit weapon for the pvp netcode.

>>158514465
The only reason FCs are dead is because all of our hosts are too busy having fun with the DLC, and nobody is willing to leave dogger alive to actually host there.

>>158513570
They're literally the same painted world. The differences arise from Ariandel using his blood to restore the old painting instead of burning it and creating a new world, as is Corvian tradition when things start to rot.
>>
>>158514283
that isn't possible, you must have killed Dusk after Manus was dead

So, is Praise the Sun literally the pariah he keeps claiming everyone thinks of him as? I honestly don't see much discussion about him anywhere. Watching him trigger and get banned from plebbit was amusing though.

Definitely didn't. Killed her with the same spell I killed the golem with. Her summon sign still appears by the lake but she doesn't say anything.

Elizabeth isn't there in the DLC at all if you do that either. I had nothing to go off lore-wise apart from the internet.
>>
>>158514578
I jsut tried to host and no one came. Could do DLC too, since I have a pre Friede backup, but I wanted to let people without DLC play too

I'm at the end and got the Yuria/Anri storyline down.
Can I just finish the game, get that ending and go back (not NG+) and finish the DLC and some other leftovers?
>>
>>158514337
yeah, that's true. his fight still operates more like NK or Sully in my experience, though.
>>
>>158514615
seriously, millwood knights were awesome
some shamanic order connected to the earth itself, awesome weapons, comfy as fuck armr sets, where those guys are even coming from and how fucking strong the abyss dragon was to drive them off?
>>
>>158514621
>Is Velka just dead, then?
it is a mystery

Not every description has to relate to the main plot, anon. There were a ton of items in DaS1 and DaS2 that talked about literally whos like Knight King Rendall, etc. Some items just build flavor text to flesh out the world and make it seem bigger

top fucking zozzle

grave champ only got his rank cause he was playing via LAN with other npc's with 0 ping so his 40END blocksword won every match

makes sense that he gets fucked up by some random laggy player walking in and stepping on his doggos

I'm just glad there aren't a million boss foggates for hosts to flee to, so I was actually able to catch up to him.
>>
>>158514583
The Corvian stuff was so cool, this DLC would've been a solid 8 if all they changed was having the whole DLC be about them instead of shoehorning in the no lore vikings and the champion of a pvp addon

>but she doesn't say anything.
Actually, I just googled it because my memory of summoning her is foggy. You can still summon her, as I said, but she does apparently speak to you. I can't remember what she says - or if that even happened for me. I know Elizabeth wasn't there - instead a few of those mushrooms (that she presumably drops if you attack her) are on the ground.

When you kill Manus, there's no Dusk then. Feels weird.
>>
I wish I could understand how people can like FrostMaria, so I wouldn't hate the main boss of this DLC so much and thus maybe not be so let down by its shortness.
>>
>>158514605
Because things are registered client side most of the time

If parries in Dark Souls were registered based on what happened on your screen, alot more people would be getting alot more parries

But the people being parried would appear to just fucking warp into parried animation at times well after they attacked and look bonkers retarded
>>
>>158514785
Yeah, I get that, but implying that Priscilla married a guy and died doesn't really make her character any more interesting. Kind of makes the idea of a suffering outcast left alone surrounded by her family of monsters less engaging, if anything.
>>

Either clutch rings or you used the new flame and hit them with the cast.

>>158514847
How did you catch up to him? Is there a way back up to the settlement once the bridge has been cut?

>>158514779
The abyss dragon didn't drive them off.
Something, un-named, destroyed the entire forest and killed their tree-god.

more specifically it's his page, the champion was a knight at some point while he was still alive
Wonder why he ended up in the painted world. Not that Mitsubishi cared enough to come up with an actual reason or anything.
>>
>>158514605
Because it's p2p.
>>
>>158514968
couldn't be talking about Priscilla, though, because the item mentions a "hideous wife," and Priscilla is very clearly not hideous. you got bamboozled

I'm trying out a DEX build with sorceries mixed in on the side. What are some generally useful spells I can run without committing too many point sin INT?
>>
>>158514186
Yeah it's fucking ridiculous, there's been times where I got spawned right at the start, next to the hollows near the first bonfire and before I could walk 5 feet the host entered the boss.
The worst of all is how on top of this, it's pretty much impossible to stop hosts from crossing fog doors since you get i-frames instantly the second you start the animation, I don't know what the fuck were they thinking when they already fixed that going from DeS to DaS by making the animation longer and not having the i-frames be instant
>>
>>158514898

He got mad that the DLC weapons were mostly shit so he drew a hairy nigger cock fucking Miyazaki in the mouth and jizzing on his face in Photoshop. Posted it on r/DarkSouls3 and got permabanned.
>>
>>158514882
I agree.

Honestly after seeing how much of just a shit mob reskin ice doggo was, It really pisses me off that they couldn't be bothered to throw in a Corvian Knight boss in the settlement chapel guarding painterloli instead of a random shitty NPC who heal spams.

I'll take the vikings and followers, but the fact that the most relevant and interesting part of the lore was only brought up in the middle area and at the immediate end of the DLC is retarded.
>>
>reach lothric castle on my NG++ strength character

Pretty fuckin' lame. What's even the point of using these things at this point?

>>158515172
DeS ripped off previous games, the Vanguard was actually stolen 100% from another game, down to the model
>>
>>158515107
He had gone down to the bottom, killed the trees and summoned the giant ladder, climbed it, ran back to the beginning of the bridge, then went to the settlement.
>>

>>
>>158514605
Shootgaems, everything happens so quick that there's nothing much to worry about sync wise. You shoot, and it's pretty much guaranteed you hit them if you were aiming right.

Rockets and slower stuff have more lag prone problems.

Souls has to sync up many many many frames of animation and kinds of hitboxes and block frames and iframes within all kinds of amounts of times.

Try playing a fighting game online, it's hell.

Honestly, it's a miracle souls fairs as well as it does.

Snap Freeze if you're invading.
Easy as fuck to inflict frostbite.
Especially valuable at lower levels as it always seems to do like 200 damage on top of raping absorption.
>>
>>158515449
Also, within reason, if you miss in an FPS because of lag, it's easier to think "Hm, I guess I missed" because it's so fast you can't tell. Maybe you DID click on that pixel rather than this pixel. But when you swing an axe as big as a table through someone's body and it doesn't do any damage, you know it's lag.
>>
>He haven't did a no summon challenge run

>>158515350

They basically made a worse Bloodborne with Dark Souls 3. Heavy weapons traded all the time in that game, but got massive health regen, so it worked.

Here they suck. It's a straight sword/curved sword game, nothing else works well. The PvE is too fast and the PvP is poorly balanced.

I question why I even play this game anymore.

So the painter-loli states that "Those who aren't ken to fire cannot paint a world. Those absorbed by fire, must not paint a world."

I think it's clear fire and dark must always been balanced. Why cant the zealotic servants of Gywn, and sinister minions of Kaathe see that?

Ah yes. 3 is incredibly short, and a mess of design philosophies that results in various mechanics in the game straight up not meshing with one another, and online is so broken that players straight up can't even attack each other with relative frequency.
