ASHEN ONES COLLAGE 2.0
Part 2

Now that everyone's had a chance to try out the DLC armor, it's time for another character collage. Due to feedback last time, gestures, attacks, etc are now allowed, but standing still is still perfectly acceptable.
See top left of the image for instructions, and make sure to follow them!

It kind of seems like purple invaders should be able to interact with enemy monsters in invasions. That would make sense as a wildcard summon wouldn't it. I know I'm late to the party on this one but it's still a letdown..

I just really like the idea of being able to invade and force yourself onto someone as an ally...or enemy. I guess I could always help a host kill reds but meh.

Is this bait? A shield doesn't make you immune, you still need protection against bashing. The sword arm needs to be agile. Go check some actual armor. The left arm is always equally if not more armored than the right. It's not just a matter of weight, armor just doesn't allow as extensive movement

Reminder that the main fuckup with purple summons is that the purple gets NO reward if the host makes it to the boss fog. You have zero reason to summon a grape or trust a grape because they're heavily incentivized to backstab you if you don't get invaded by a dark spirit.

>dumb japs cannot into medieval Europe
You have to admit though, From does medieval Europe a hundred times better than most other Nip RPGs - and even a great deal of western RPGs. As you and >>159572490 points out, a lot of the armour is impractical or would have been tournament stuff in the real world, but I'll take a single Dark Souls armour set that even slightly resembles a real life set of armour (with stuff like asymetrically armoured arms, closed helms and surcoats) over a hundred shitty World of Warcraft or generic RPG armour sets with inch thick metal, giant pauldrons and nothing but open face helmets.

>>159572719
I've got about 430 on my man serpent hatchet but it's a bit of an odd case since it's classed as an axe type weapon but has the shotel effect. Or is supposed to anyway, I'm not even sure how the shotel effect is supposed to work and the few times I've tried looking it up didn't yield any informative results. It's also a faith build so I don't know how that would translate into other builds at all.

>armor just doesn't allow as extensive movement
Blatantly false, medieval plate armor was deliberately made to have more range of movement than the human body, specifically to not hinder the wearer. You can't afford to restrict movement in warfare.
The main issues with armor were heat (though not -as- bad as to "cook" the person wearing it as weebs would have you believe), vision (this is why a lot of visors on the more popular helmets in history are liftable if not outright removable), and ability to hear.

>>159573151
Shotels ignored 50% of shield damage reduction in DaS2.
They ignore like 10% in DaS3 so the shotel effect is mostly useless.

>>159572865
Reminder that DaS3 pvp and co-op is total shit as the PVE is trivial and any pvp incentive is ruined by the fact that invasions are total shit due to the PVE being even more trivial with summons.

>>159573004

>>159573381
Oh well. It's not like I ever really ran into people using shields anyway and if I did it would probably work better to just kick it and get a riposte unless that's disabled on players.

>>159573235
As an addendum, most of the armor tropes like restricted movement and armored shield arms stem from jousting armor, where you're basically strapped to your horse in a borderline immobile state and the armor has to minimize potential damage from having a lance crash into you as much as possible. The reason you armor the shield arm in a joust is because you don't use a shield the same way as in warfare; "blocking" is something you avoid as much as possible in warfare, you use the shield to parry, to divert force, not to absorb it as it would in a joust.

>>159571207
Yhorm lived in the Profaned Capital, even if he wasn't originally from there, which is canonically beneath Irithyll. They're in the same place, even before the lands converged (as Sulyvahn discovered the Profaned Capital a long time ago). So either no, no Lord of Cinder was from Drangleic, or if the Profaned Capital *is* part of Drangleic then that means Drangleic and Lordran *are* the same place, or at least overlap.

>Still no bloodborne dashes
Why even dodge?

>>159572106
you do know that when fighting a shield user you do anything you can to get around the shield, yeah?

your sword basically is your right hand's shield

>>159573805
desu if you ignore the "DaS2 is not canon" meme then the Profaned Capital is likely Eleum Loyce, with Irithyll built over it.

Alright, so I fucked up Greirat's questline and now I don't have access to Exploding Bolts. What's the next best thing?

Knight's crossbow with lightning bolts?
Black Bow of Pharsis with Dark Arrows?
Arbalest with Heavy Bolts?

>>159573235
range of movement =/= mobility

which was the real main problem of wearing full armor

a fully armored limb is going to both move slower and become fatigued twice as fast, and when you think about it your sword arm is going to be moving the most out of all your limbs

having armor on either the left or right arm and not the other has pros and cons and i've seen real armor that does either

Honestly, I just wish there would sometimes be more pronounced differences between damage types and their effect on armor, like slash weapons should have less impact on armored foes and in contrast strike would have less effect on padded / leather / light armor.

Wrong. Your shield is your right hand's shield.
That being said, you can certainly parry with the sword while going for a strike with the edge of the shield.
You do know the wild overly telegraphed attack animations in Dark Souls where your shield arm points behind your back for no reason isn't realistic, right?

Is there any good looking heavy sets?

This was a thing in 1 and 2. Scaled enemies like Man-Serpents took much lower damage from slashing weapons, and in 2 the sheer amount of heavily armored knight enemies meant that weapons like the Mace tore through PvE with greater ease than swords.

I haven't noticed anything in 3 besides certain enemies being weak to fire or lightning.

He's pretty obnoxious when he's talking about his personal life, like how he's a vegetarian feminist with an agender life partner or whatever, and his views on some arms and armor are somewhat narrow-minded, but at least he's good about citing sources and not claiming his guesses as fact. Usually.

There's other YouTube channels for people interested in this stuff too, like Schola Gladiatora, Lindybeige, etc.

>>159574126
Hammers were pretty decent in DaS1 pve, Reinforced Club wrecked anus
Hammers kicked ass in DaS2 pve, especially dual wielded
Tonitrus and Bloodletter untricked do ungodly damage in BB
Hammers are really fucking good in PvE and decent in PvP in DaS3

But katanas? Katanas are generally mediocre in PvE
Using a katana in DaS1 is suffering
Katanas break quickly in DaS2
Are just underwhelming in general in DaS3
Chikage seems good until you realize just how much damage everything else does without % hp drain / sec

At least DaS1 had the decency to recolor the newbie hollows into CRYSTAL HOLLOWS to explain why they suddenly deal 20 times more damage. 2 had them not be hollow in the Memories, but living humans, which is questionable but at least still different.
DaS3 is such a hackjob with borderline MMORPG tier design decisions like arbitrarily stronger versions of the exact same enemy.

>>159574838
I'm doing my first playthrough and I';m really regretting pumping str for the greatsword, it's so fucking slow and if you're not 100% accurate with your swings it goes straight through enemies.

I think DS3 has spoiled me with "corner cuts" on my large weapons, specially with 1.08 greatswords.

I just feel like I made a massive mistake pumping souls and stat investment for this shit weapon and would of been better off running a 1h weapon + greatshield or even a dumbass estoc.

True. I'd dare say Witcher 3 is the best medieval Europe RPG in terms of clothing and armour. I'd love if Dark Souls had more non-armour sets that aren't 'fancy dress,' 'fancy robes' and 'big trench coat.' I need some peasant tunics, tight breeches and caps, man.

>>159573910
>>159575116
I understand the Propaned Capital being Eleum Loyce thing but it still sits oddly with me. Given that it's an underground city some way below Anor Londo, it makes the most sense (to me at least) that it's built on the ruins of New Londo.

DaS1 had the total rape-tier Torch Hollows when you return to the Asylum.

Demon's Souls makes the soldiers in 1-3 much tougher as well without modifying the enemies themselves much.

DaS3 has the Demon's Souls approach :

>to make them play out a little differently, they are given more access to items such as healing grasses and Undead Hunter Charms.

GSOJ does more damage outside of point blank charged r2s. You won't be casting much with it.

Honestly, I never found the allegedly janky/sluggish combat unbearable, it's markedly more "loose" on its handling and I find DaS was very "snappy" with its movements and rolls. the netcode on 2 was certainly better in my experience, lagstabs happen but when have they not? The actual biggest downsides I can think of is the hit-and-miss areas/enemies/bosses, soul memory and some choices like the very linear world and again, the handling - I think the controls and the gameplay elements are certainly its biggest flaws and if you cant get past them, fair enough, I know I did and I thought it had many many more hours of content compared to the rest of the series even today, it TRIED A LOT of different things, pve covenants, bonfire ascetics and seemingly all around more and more variety in builds even if that stumbled with adaptability

The game explicitly tells you this, but then the whole world is connected pretty much seamlessly, and you can see why most of the areas lead into each other.

It really seems like the *only* part of the world that is changed/churning is Lothric castle/city being thrust way up, like the plateau its on suddenly appeared, but the actual presence of the city still makes sense.

Take on Ariandel and let Gael deal with Friede. Gael is fucking awful at defence, so Ariandel's high damage attacks take him out very quickly. However, he can tank through a lot of Friede's attacks, and his great sword staggers her easily. Attack Ariandel's fat ass until you get a riposte on him, and keep dodging his huge telegraphed attacks, and Gael should deal with Friede. Keep an eye on the ground in case you run into one of Friede's frost attacks though, and keep an eye out for Friede trying to heal, because Gael rarely gets to her in time to stop it.

Just space black flame properly and don't roll forward in to black serpent. Serpent is unreliable and everything else save for black flame is just an idiot killer.

>Why is this DLC great for being guerrilla?
It's got a vast variety of areas for you to pick despite being short and each area are interchangeable loop-arounds like the follower forest are topped with connected hills and the town have a cluster, tightly knitted houses. The first area is okay with it's only supporting features are doggos, blizzard and being wide.

Anyone at all? Looking to make a viking, male or female as long as they can look authentic (if they can at all) just need some nice sliders.

Do people legitimately unironically believe that Pyro's are OP or cancer? God forbit casters finally be viable for once right? Fucking From, I just want quality to be viable!!!

Heh.

>literally have to hide and reapply my dragon body so people don't stunlock me on spawn
you guys are the worst

>>159583214

He even posts Re ddit links in our discord and thinks its ok. I delete them but he wont stop

>>159583334
I don't think they're OP but they are clearly flavour of the month. I see more pyros with Onyx Blade than I see Dark Sword, Estoc and CCS users combined these days.

>>159583305
The worst part of the DLC are the dead ends/one way trips.
If a host is on the opposite side of a cut bridge and puts the obscuring ring on, there's nothing you can do.
I know this because I've been pulling it out non stop

>>159583324
I dunno dude, what do you think a real viking is? Blonde or red hair, blue eyes, pale skin and a broad jaw? Big beard maybe?

>>159583367
do you queue for coop pvp or specifically?
t. not integra.

>>159583427
What happens to your poise & absorption when you dragonform?

>>159583427
Jeez, they actually make you reapply that?

>>159583287
I really like how your webm showcases that you can beat bad players rather than pyromancers. I think I have a webm of me killing a pyro who black flamed the floor behind him and gave me a free backstab. I should start posting that with the name "Pyros are literally OP". I'll hunt for it

why does everyone hate pyros so much?

>Still can't parry yourself

>>159583556
too cute

>>159582853
I'm on my way

>>159583556
their zoning is too hard.
I played with one and against one the last /dsg/ matches, unless you got balls and just go in they slowly rape you.

this is so goddamn good. best music in the series (not counting bloodborne)
shame the fight was a bit short and unsatisfying

Can confirm. Had so much fun waiting for fags to get into the center of the bridge so I can cut it.

>>159582668
I can login into e but not ex why god

>>159583427
I wonder if there's actually an upside to that. Maybe you could be really beefy pre-dragonform then pop it at low health for supermode?

>>159583550
It showcases that you can space black flame. You have more reach. It doesn't matter how fucking good my opponent is, it's not like it'll make his black flame hitbox larger than a greatsword R1. Go be retarded somewhere else.

>>159583556
Because Casters aren't allowed to be viable.
Black Flame hyper armoing through and trading with your R1 for 700 damage into another R1 for 150-300 for a total of 850-1000 damage for pyros is apparently broken and OP but trading with a warpick for 400 into guaranteed R1 for another 400 with roll catch setup afterwords for another 400 is okay.

>>159583492
I said I don't give a shit what you guys do there.

Just that he's a person no one likes playing with

after account creation it takes 7 days unless you get exhentai access.
else: your plugin is broken. I had this a couple of times, restart pc.

Using your weapon art resets your poise health to 100%, however does using Galvanize or Sharpen follow this rule?

>>159583003
>Using Vestiges

Yeah your a pretty bad pyro who just played against someone who doesn't know that he has to run at you at a 45 degree angle instead of rolling

>>159583709
It's weird, I enjoyed BB but it's OST never struck out as memorable for me.

I can't remember a single theme for the game.
But I can for DaS1/DaS3 and DeS
>>159583803
That anon was retarded, but you didn't outspace him. He literally just casted it when you were too far away, that was his mistake rather than you're "outplay". A good pyro doesn't randomly cast Black Flame unless you're touching or see an R1 coming. That retard just casted it for no reason.

>>159584027
let me guess, you prefer GCFO no scopes?

I wish they made the mountain pass here and put at least 3 more of these towers.

Then where is the current montain pass, they could've extended the village.

>>159584027
Galvanize has HA so probably
Dunno if Sharpen does

>>159584053
listen to the ludwig or gehrman tracks in BB

>>159583492
>so autistic that you ban any and all links from reddit
Wew lad, glad I didn't fall for the dsg discord meme

>>159584027
It follows the rule if your WA has poise itself.
Sharpen can be interrupted, I think, so it doesn't count.

What about a covenant that didn't notify the host when you invaded and let you disguise your red signs as white, BUT you only got half health and no estus as a phantom
