Best weapon in its respective class?

I've been using the Black Knight Greatsword forever and have smith'd it as much as possible, and I'm going with the Soul of Cinder's sword for Ashes of FUCKING CROWS AND SPEARS

Since armor doesn't really matter much in this game I'm using Fallen Knight, and my rings are total garbage since they don't matter either. Estus Ring Chloranthy Ring Ring of Favor Silver Serpent Ring

What's YOUR go-to PvP build? What do you use to meme on tards that still lose in a stacked 3v1 match-up against you?

>>159311884

The theory is cycles is way more pleasing, than Miyazaki's lazy lore of making all of the timelines converge, so he can stuff as many Solaire and Siegmeyer references he wants in your face.

In II, all of the things from I are lost and almost forgotten, from 1000s of years ago.

>>159313416
In the usurper of fire ending you take the first flame into yourself and convert it to some kind of dark flame. This makes you a god akin to Gwynn, but a "dark" God able to rule the hollows. Just letting the flame go out doesn't fix anything, as the cycle will eventually begin again.
Usurping the flame, however, creates the age of man that Kaathe was pushing for since DaS1

YOU FUCKING IDIOT. We let the flame die in prior games and the curse still resurfaces. The whole point of the church of londor is that being undead isn't a bad thing, it's the natural state of man that should be embraced.
This is what we do when we absorb the flame into our dark sigils. It's not crazy to believe that with such power being wielded by a hollow lord that the negative affects of the curse (hollowing) could be treated

This. Ds3 tried way too hard to just throw references everywhere. While it was cool in the beginning, it just ended up making things even more confusing and barely anything was explained in the end.

ds2 did a good job by branching off. Ds3 should have done the same, instead of the half-assed bloodborne and ds1 mash we got.

Miyazaki pretty much just used ds3 to recreate ds2 in his personal vision. Which would be fine if ds2 hadn't already happened, the lazy fuck.

>the inevitable Dark Souls IV

DaS4 is anything but inevitable. Now that From is out of contract, they're free to make another Souls or Soulslike that doesn't involve them with the pile of shit that is Bamco publishing. Additionally, they're owned by Kadokawa now, so Kadokawa would have to be convinced that the "Dark Souls" name is so much more important than just the "From Software" name on a new title that it's worth splitting the profits with Bamco, and Bloodborne would go to show that it really isn't. They can launch something like "Dragon Souls" and start with fresh canon, which seems to be where Miyazaki thrives, and the community is used to shuffling names around enough that it will sell with no trouble.

Dark Souls 4, if it happens, will be Bamco getting some lackey developer to puppet around a limp corpse of a series and if they do it, I hope it flops. Bamco deserves nothing further from the series.

(1) Gwyndolin
(2) Capra

DaS2 (Not completed yet but on my way)
(1) Freja, Rat Sif (just died 4 times on him), Ruin Sentinels, died a bunch of times to Iron King but first playthrough he was easy.
(2) Lost Sinner

DaS3 (only as far as Farron)
(1) Iudex, same reason as you

BB (Completed but not TOH)
(1) Cleric Beast, Amelia feels difficult but I did do her first time, One Reborn killed me a few times, Darkbeast.
(2) I had a Pinwheel experience with BSB. Gehrman was relatively easy considering he was the final boss.

For smaller foes maybe, but rouge is the special sauce that makes bleed builds shine. You definitely want to oil up against larger foes and bosses as the rapid buildup leads to rapid procs which absolutely decimate large hp pools

I haven't got very far in DS3 so I have no idea what it is there. In Lovecraft it's just a simple idea of the deep sea. Horrible, unimaginable thing lurk there that warp reality around them and drive anyone that looks at them insane. Then the same idea seems to be mrrrored in deep space, with something there that's currently being kept asleep but if it wakes up it would be the end of the universe.

No idea if that's at all related to what it is in DS3, probably not.

Not quite. When the Souls format is working at its best is when the oppressive solitude and darkness of the setting is contrasted with the hope and strength of will of its inhabitants. The fact there are so many kindhearted and driven characters despite how bad things are going for them is a lot of the endearing appeal of the cast. If everything were dark and depressing in every interaction, it would just wear thin.

A good Souls adaptation could only be one that is capable of striking a balance and understanding the levity necessary for making the setting work.

Love it, better than killing them in all honesty. Especially when they have several phantoms and you kill all of the phantoms and they disconnect after being by themselves. Fucking delicious.

Also why the buckler? The recovery frames are complete garbage, you're just asking to get backstab punished by anyone who's good (which, granted, most people aren't, but still...). I've gotten to the point where people try so hard to parry my spears and thrusting swords that I've given up entirely on parrying just because hornet backstab shieldpokes are so easy to do consistently and there's no downside (if you don't have a shield they can just R1 spam into your face, with a shield they can't).

I've put hundreds of hours into pontiff duels before the Arena even existed and now all of my characters are made for invasions at different SL's, and even if they're a meme they always carry at least 1 weapon that can deal with ganks.

So considering I'm now used to always having half the estus and being outnumbered 1v3 and still winning, as well as always spending all of my souls so I don't give a shit if I lose an invasion... I happily oblige invaders. I don't even heal against them, it's fun.

Yeah, I was freaking the hell out. Even the first hydra really bothers me because of how suddenly the water gets deep where the hydra is. I couldn't stop thinking about getting too close, falling into the water, the camera following me down while a load of hydra heads came down after me.

But yeah, the whole of Ash Lake was really bizarre and weird to me. I liked it but then it was horrible to think you were on this little sandbank surrounded by endless deep water.

Yeah, recently in the Grand Archives.

Ancient Dragon Memory was cool because you can hear the sounds of Gwyn and the lords removing lizard in the background.

Fair enough. Honestly these days I just prefer using a BK Shield (or LK Shield which I tried but medium shield parry frames are basically unusable) and hornet backstabbing people. With the BK Shield you can even still use the crow quills or swordspear's WA, it's great once you git gud at stamina management and learn how to drop your guard between R1's of stuff like greatswords so you can regain some stamina between hits.

What reward would you even need? Covenant items aren't even that difficult to get and most of the covenant rewards are useless. By the end of the game you can buy all of the upgrade materials except for slabs, which you get plenty of in a single run and can just make a backup save if you want to test out different weapons at +10. Unembered is fine since everyone is equal in that regard. Medals are retarded I'll grant you that, they should have a leaderboard of some sort although on PC I'm sure it'd just get raped by cheaters.

You PvP for it's own sake. It's fun to fight other people instead of the AI. It's also a lot more convenient and you can do team battles instead of just 1v1's now, I've actually been enjoying 2 man brawl a lot since you get a full 5 minutes to test out whatever setup you want, it's just just one-and-done. The Crusaders vs. Bloodshades 3v3 stuff has basically just been moved to Arena.

It's like saying you hated playing Goldeneye 007 as a kid with your friends because you didn't get any rewards for it. Makes no sense. Or maybe you're one of those spoiled young millenials who needs a "trophy" for everything you do?

If they did that mid-development it would mean that they'd decided to basically make another Dark Souls and just call it King's Field.

I know what you mean. This might sound like a criticism to some, but I think the lore in DS2 is closer to the surface.

I love the original but a lot of the areas feel very generic and don't really seem to have any connection with lore at all (The Depths, for example).

Wasn't it made pretty damn obvious even from the early parts of the game that it was a kingdom that exists in the same place as Lordran but at a different time? It was repeatedly stated that many kingdoms have risen and fallen there, various character remember different kingdoms, like Straid saying it didn't used to be called Drangleic before he was petrified.

I think we're talking about insane amount of time passing here, not just a few centuries but possibly even 100,000s of years. Kind of like how that advanced time period in Chrono Trigger is 50,000 years prior to the current time of the game.

How good are the 2scythes when used as just a 1scythe? Like attack speed and AR and such?

I heard that the physical scythe scales with DEX and the illusory WA scythe is the one that scales with INT, so I was thinking of making a 60 DEX build with minimum INT requirements to wield the scythe, making more use of the weapon itself instead of just recklessly spamming the WA and hoping it works.

Vendrik was trying to peer into the esence of the soul, hoping to find a cure to the curse. I thought that was a really cool concept. Also war with the giants was badass, I wish they had gone into more detail about that

DS2 and DS3 failed to emulate DS1 by turning bonfire into teleporters from the get go and by adding hub cities.

The first DS1 playthrough felt like an amazing journey because you were all alone and the world actually looked like its dying. DS2 was too bright and DS3 has so many NPCs that its nearly unbelievable that the world is close to the finally end.
Stories like the one of Solaire and Siegmeyer were just a bonus that added to the experience. But DS2 and DS3 were like ''People loved those characters so lets add a gorillion more of those tragic stories!'' But plenty of people being around with everyone of them being a giant tragedy simply ruins it.

Well you get those weird poison mushroom things which could be a more evolved version of the mushroom people. You do also find an Elizabeth mushroom item in 2.

I don't think there would be any traces. As I said, we're talking a massive amount of time. Anor Londo is dust now. The link is meant to be in the souls and in themes like the Abyss, a king going from being a hero to being a kind of pathetic figure and stuff like that. The idea of people dying over and over and forgetting themselves as they become hollows that you got in DaS1 is taken to another level in DaS2 where entire kingdoms are forgotten, entire histories.

I think were you start is just some random place, you end up being taken to Lordran or Drangleic.

i cannot believe how much of an absolute PUSSY he was. literally would not come anywhere near me unless i was near another enemy. as soon as i killed it he ran away to the next mob. started all the way at the entrance to the dlc, through the corvian settlement, past villhelm, through the forest, and i finally killed him in the bug church

with a nearly broken sword and no estus, i felt so fucking relieved, especially since i didn't resort to phantoms or a seed

>III is also full of lazy callbacks

The thing is, Dark Souls III is framed as a direct sequel. The callbacks make sense in that context, because they're used as anchors so that the player recognizes where they are. Dusk's set is a message to you that "You're in Darkroot. This is what has become of it."

People just had their reactions to callbacks poisoned because DaS2 did them poorly with things like the Dragonslayer. It wasn't confident enough to do 100% its own thing and, most likely because it was less senior developers, they apparently didn't feel like they had the authority to do a direct follow-up. It had a troubled development and got pulled in a lot of directions, so most of what they tried to do ended up unsatisfying.

As far as Dark Souls III goes, the DaS1 callbacks are mostly purposeful for saying to the player "this is what happened while you were away". If you really want to criticize DaS3 for callbacks, it honestly did callbacks to DaS2 as poorly as DaS2 did DaS1 callbacks. The Shield of Want is especially nonsensical in its inclusion and placement.

Again, From chose to use the same name. If you care enough about lore to put any stock in details presented by the items, you have to have some respect for the fact they chose to do that, or you can just say it's all meaningless bullshit.

It's not conjecture or speculation to say that it has literally the same name. That's objectively true.

It's the DeS engine actually. The leaked debug version showed that DaS had some DeS stuff and these games share some glitches. It's not that surprising really, they just build on top of it instead of starting from scratch.

I'm actually pretty disappointed with From, since it doesn't seem to have followed their usual MO.

They made Chromehounds, an Xbox 360 exclusive, and used it as an opportunity to basically get Microsoft to pay for the online system they seemingly still use to this day.

The made Demon's Souls, a PS3 exclusive, and used it as an opportunity to basically get Sony to pay for a new engine, which they developed their later titles on.

I was expecting them to use Bloodborne, a PS4 exclusive, as an opportunity to get Sony to pay for either a new engine or new online, but for whatever reason it seems like they're content. I suppose it's most likely that the DaS2 engine's development cost them resources they weren't able to offset and so they just used Bloodborne to get Sony dollars to replenish what they'd spent.

The real curiosity at this point is whether they're going to continue stacking little upgrades on top of each other and keep the DeS engine or actually progress the DaS2 Engine and give us something like what DaS2 could've been if it hadn't been neutered for last gen consoles.

Seeing as they didn't re-use the surprisingly robust DaS2 engine for BB and DaS3, I'm guessing they're probably counting it as a loss. Kind of a shame, really.

They did get several new assets out of BB though, mostly a bunch of sounds that show up in DS3 only slightly altered. Witchtrees in AoA use the cainhurst ghost noises, the hollows at the beginning of undead settlement use Gascoigne's scream, and so on.

They weren't in a position to "re-use" the DaS2 engine for Bloodborne. Sony approached them to create a PS4 exclusive title almost immediately after they were finished with Artorias of the Abyss. The reason BB uses the DeS engine is because the DaS2 engine wasn't an option at the time if nothing else.

DaS3's development is a more open question though, whether they really did write off the DaS2 engine entirely or if they just fell back on the DeS engine because it was already primed for current gen development because of Bloodborne.

No, it's still there. Her face is always burned. It'd be a little silly to change it up during a fight where the player has no reasonable way of seeing it, not even a cutscene.

>They made them related by quite deliberately giving them the same names and putting Aldia in the description

Actually, no. Aldia's name is not in the Japanese version of the DaS3 description. Re-read that guy's translation notes, he's talking about the DaS2 description only.

Just because something has the same name doesn't mean it's related. i.e., Morion Blade in DaS3 isn't the Morion Blade from DeS, and you know this because it looks different. Storm Ruler in DaS3 is not the same Storm Ruler from DeS, because even though it has the same effect it looks different and has a different backstory.

The only way you could say DaS3 Soul Stream was DaS2 Soul Geyser is if you tried to force Aldia's name into the description when it isn't there, because otherwise they're unrelated. "First Scholar" and "Scholar of the First Sin" are two different things. The former is either a leader or the literal first, and the latter is a scholar of a very specific subject.

Vendrick is pretty critical of himself though, he literally says he's more fit to be a jester.
He was a literally who monarch from a small land to the north of Lordran, that in an attempt to save his people ventured forth and stolen what was presumably the Kiln (or rather, a teleport/secret passage to the Kiln since you also do magically teleport there in 3) from half-abandoned Anal Rodeo, and Giants who were among the last few defendants of that place chased him back to Drangleic, which is also why we see a buttload of llewelyn soldiers and dead giants after Pontiff. Then he gets into a prolonged war with giants and their leaders, wins barely (?), gets cockblocked by Manus in a drag suffering from split personality disorder, and goes to the Crypt to cry there with his bodyguard with whom he has 100% platonic relationship no homo.
He was not the best king, and honestly, Aldrich, Yhorm and Abyss Watchers seem more successful to me.
>>
>>159322801
It's the same, and it was never a hoax. It's basically ammo for armor frames on heavy weapons. Yhorms shield, the long spear, and the wolf rings got needed, but heavy armor now gives far more poise than it did prior. You also have 80% of your poise while swinging. Some weapons can swing through certain attacks without any poise at all though.

This is why I wish there was some kind of microphone function in dark souls, so I could hear people talking when I invade them and hear their reaction to stuff. I never get to experience that rage first-person, I can mostly only just imagine it based on how they play while I kill them or fuck with them and lead them through mobs with hit-and-run tactics, or kill their phantoms over and over again.

That may have less to do with the King in question and more to do with the Queen. Each of the Children were personification of an emotion. Alsanna was Fear and Nashandra was Want.

Exactly. I don't do that myself but I can understand the appeal. I have the unfortunate luck of running into streamers when I'm completely unprepared, I don't know what you'd call that, like accidental stream sniping or something. Running into a big name streamer randomly when you weren't trying to, in fact you'd rather avoid them at all costs because you're just fucking around or trying out a new build you have no experience with.

Literally both times I ever ran into ScottJund, once at pontiff and once in the arena, I was fucking around with a greatshield and spear and got my shit pushed in both times by a carthus curved sword that is the one single counter to it and that I had not prepared anything to swap to so I could deal with it. Felt real bad because I'm sure now that I'm actually prepared to face that fucking curved sword (swap the shield into an offhand estoc instead so they can't just roll passed your spear and R1 spam you to death), I'll probably never run into him again. First time I was thinking of using a Lothric GSh to deal with Nameless King and had never used one before so I wanted to test it out first, in the arena I was just fucking around and drunk on a friday night and had no secondary weapon to switch because I wasn't really taking it seriously, especially when most people are so easy to crush with that meme setup.

>>159324115
You're right but I have some sympathy for the last guy you quoted. If it's obvious the invader doesn't have a chance, going and hiding behind a mob each time is just wasting everyone's time.

Now if you can actually do something behind those mobs like double chime, then that's another story.
>>
>>159325032
Normally you don't get that experience on this side of the fence, either. PS3 didn't have keyboards.

I can say the best fanmail comes from xbox, though. They'll actually record voice mail and send all kind of colorful racial slurs your way, it's great.

It makes more sense when you understand that the main purpose of an invader is to stop forward progress in the level, to keep the host from getting to the boss. The ultimate form of this is killing the host of course, but as long as you're holding the host back from completing the level you're fulfilling your purpose as an invader, technically speaking. You're like a mini-boss basically.

There is no sympathy in invasions, no honor. The invader forces his way into your world and tries to prevent forward progress or kill you by any means necessary, the host tries to kill the invader and/or get to the boss by any means necessary. It's not a fucking honor duel, there are no rules, that's why it's fun and intense in the first place. Besides, on top of this hosts have a HUGE advantage, whether they use that advantage (even if they summon no one and don't use way of the blue, they STILL have 30% more health and twice the estus) is pointless when you are already invading prepared for the worst, and the host can change his mind about his "honor" at any moment when they start losing.

People like that baby originally quoted should stick to Arena/Pontiff RSS duels, and if he gets invaded should just make a run for the boss, play unembered, or play in offline mode. He's trying to force his made up ruleset on other people and when people don't follow them he throws a temper tantrum, so excuse me if I enjoy reveling in his suffering.

Consider the following: Sony mandates all games and expansions have trophies, only expension are cosmetic and inventory DLCs like weapon and costume packs. Ashes did not come with trophies, that means it did not carry enough content to qualify as any form of additional content other than a weapon pack. In comparison, Need for Speed (The latest one) has issued 3 free content updates which included a couple new races and two or three new cars, and each one came with three to four trophies.

Sony's mandatory trophies rule only applies to games exclusive to their console, since microsoft doesn't give a shit and PC is entirely up to the developers.

Is this a good idea for a versatile quality build? 14 ATT for FP/slots, 10 FTH so I can BW/regen with priestess ring for when I use a buffable weapon, standard quality stats for damage, a bunch of VIG/END and dumped the rest into VIT for fashion. 10 INT for the snazzy PK curved sword. Good 1H weapons (like SS) will be weaker due to lack of STR but that's ok.

Anything in particular that I should change?

THere are few people in my left that I wish harm. I am a generally good man and I only sin occasionally. These sins usually include theft or adultery. However, rare is the time when I truly wish harm on another. This is one of those eXceptions. I want you to die in the worst wat possible. I want your skin to slough off as you burn I want your lungs too collapse as you suffocate from external pressure and gas. I want your femurs to snap as they break from hideous overexposure to ludicrous circumstances.

I hate you with all of my being. Please die my friend.

I would love to use lorian's chest for it, no point in searching something that fits color wise though because there is nothing.

You can't make a lord of londor look because nothing currently in the game is as fancy as Londor shit.

Look at Yuria's and Vilhelm's shit, or whatever the fuck his name is. That's what Londor looks like, and you will never look that good.

Could someone link me to that reddit thread about the new poise mechanics? Because I still don't really understand it.

My friend and I were hitting eachother with Greatsword 2H R1s, with me having 40 poise and him have barely any. The first time 1 poise through no problem and got 2 R1s off, but the second time we both stunned eachother. The 3rd time immediately after I could poise through again.

How does that work? I thought your poise resets now each time you swing?

Good dex/int weapons?
>>
>>159330605
It resets to 80% on swing (if lower than 80%), so you need 125% of the required poise to tank it repeatedly.

You can also stomp or whatever to bump it back to 100%.

SL&NG?
>>
>>159331021
INT (and the magic portion of its AR) only affect the WA's.
>>
>>159331021
Scaling is proportional to base damage. The base magic damage on Friede's scythe is really low, so its A magic scaling is less than stellar overall.

Also, the magic damage only applies on the secondary scythe attacks, which only happens with the weapon art. The main scythe does the physical damage.
>>
>>159331041

If you think that this is shitposting you should see the witcher general.
>>
>>159331104

>>
>>159331205
Please no, I'm happy not knowing about worse things.

>>159331269
>Also, DEX improves casting speed right?
Yes, maximum of 50. Rings and catalysts that say they boost casting speed use the same modifier and add together, so it's impossible to go over this limit.
>>
>>159331269
yes
>>
>>159331269
Yes, up to 60.
Sage Ring+2 gives you 40 effective DEX for that though.

GSoJ is really a quality+INT weapon.
>>
>>159331269
Yeah, up to... 45 or 50 I think? So you could go without sage ring and not lose much casting speed.

GSoJ also scales well with STR iirc, so you can also do a quality+INT melee build if you don't go 60 INT. The immolation tinder scales similarly.

So something like Dex+Faith/INT is a good way to go for when you want to build a caster then?
>>
>>159331812
So you'd think, but there aren't actually any weapons that work well with dex+int/fth. All you get is the extra ring slot from sage's ring.

At least in DaS1 you could use the Tin Banishment Catalyst to make dark spells scale with dex and int.
>>
>>159330727
>>159330739

Hmm, I see.

I'm looking at the mentioned calculator and it seems you really do need a shitload of poise to actually be able to consistently poise through a weapon of the same category you're using yourself.
>>
>>159331812
For an actual caster, it's probably a waste of stats. STR is also more stat efficient if you 2H. DEX+FTH/INT is mostly good with fast weapons because you can buff to apply a flat amount of damage to your weapon.
>>
>>159328297

How about 55-56 +6?

Is there really that big of a difference between +5 and +6? +5 is so awkward for */5 upgrade weapons.

The only things you need to worry about are greatswords and 1h hammers. Don't even bother trying to poise through greataxes, ugs, or greathammers without a greathammer yourself unless you don't mind looking like a fashion disaster.
>>
>>159331967
