DaS2 dragonform looks the best, das1 dragonform looks like a dog that needs to be put down. Dragon cultist armor > matted fur dragon > anorexic dying deer dragon

Hexes are awesome for PVE, and still really good for PVP. Great Resonant Soul no longer does 2000 damage, and normal Resonant Soul isn't worth it at all, but Dark Orb, Dark Hail, and Dark Weapon are all fantastic spells. I would say Orb is the best general-purpose projectile in the game.
>>
>>159661583
Counter question: What are the strong points of DaS1? What does it do better than the other games? The only thing that comes to mind is area interconnection, with I consider to have a fairly small effect on the actual gameplay.
Bosses? BB blows it out of the water.
Regular PvE? Lets not forget post-anal rodeo DaS, DeS and BB have much better pacing, and in terms of individual areas DaS3 is at least as good.
PvP? The balance is abysmal and is only second to DeS in terms of how broken some things are.
Atmosphere? DeS and BB lore are much more coherent.
I love DaS like any other game in the serious, but I'm baffled by how some people have enough audacity to claim it's "the best".

Trick weapon versatility is still superior. There are very few weapons that share any moves at all, like maybe untricked ludwigs/kirk and the two saws and that's about it.

where?!
>>
>>159661868
Well, I suppose fun is of course subjective and we've all played some game in our lives we enjoyed that no one else gives a damn about.

Also, sorry I thought it was a /dsg/ meme to not include or be hateful to BB. I understand if you don't have it or haven't played it why you wouldn't include it.

>>159661537
Skill, Skill/blt, faith/blt, faith, str/int, str, quality. Seems about as varied as the rest of the series, especially when most of your builds in each game seem to saddle up in one or two little areas just the same. Just the nature of meta.

Also, replay value in these games is personal preference. I think 2/3 has least replay value, but I have DeS, DaS, and BB installed all the time. I only reinstalled DS3 for the dlc.

>>159662351
DeS has some interesting lore theories though, whereas the fact that 3 ignores 2 means that unlike 2 which builds on 1 (albeit in a copout and shitty manner) 3 can't really be said to be coherent with the whole series, and 3's story is pretty shit so far outside of the DLC.

1's was nice but there's no need or reason to continue its story.

1 was the story of you figuring out what happened. The party went down long before you arrived, and you put together the pieces as you either fall into the trap or subvert the trap of taking on the flame.

2 was adding to it by using a nearly nihilistic move, that was corrected and routed somewhere mildly interesting but more linear akin to DeS and BB in the DLC.

3 is more open, but I think it's because it is the end. Let you interpret the end however it pleases you. I still haven't heard a lore layout that made fucking sense to me.

>>

>bb blows das3 out of water
No? Most bosses in BB have annoyingly obvious blind spots (Laurence) or can be staggered chained into death even on NG+6. Look at both darkbeasts, look at one reborn, look at maria, these are bosses that COULD HAVE been good, but for some reason From decided otherwise. Then you have fights like Ludwig, Kos, and Gehrman. Which I'd argue are the ONLY good fights the game has to offer, but even they are plagued with the same issues as most BB bosses. Kos stands like a retard for 3 seconds after each attack, even in phase 2. He's no where near as aggressive as Champ, SoC, or Elfriede in DaS3. Kos also shares a very bad design flaw in which he can be perma-stunlocked with backstabs and before you pull the b-b-b-but don't backstab arguement you need to realize bosses need to take into account in game mechanics so they aren't easily exploited. Take Elfriede and Champ, both well designed fights but ruined because Champ is so easy to parry and Elfriede offers her back all the time. Gehrman suffers from being staggerable and parryable, and subsequently Maria suffers from this as well. The common strategy for both Phase1 Gherman and all of Maria is press R1 twice, then shoot them when they get recover for guaranteed parry into visceral. You'd think they learn from Gwyn to not make the final boss parryable but even in Phase 2 Gehrman is just as easy to parry as Champ is in Dark Souls 3.

That leaves Ludwig to discuss, who I think is the most overrated boss in the entire series. He got a cool cutscene which changed his entire character and boss fight and everyone likes to pretend he's the hardest shit or the best boss fight in souls. I think it's mostly because he's the first boss fight of the DLC and since the DLC was on such a level higher than the base game everyone let their first impression of him get the better of him (same happened with Elfriede, remember how everyone was talking about "oh elfriede is LITERALLY the hardest souls boss in the entire series" now look at her she's a joke) Ludwig is the very same, people died to him a lot learning his fight, which is true for most souls bosses and they took that as a testiment to him being hard. I understand people have different experiences and what not but it bothers me to no end when people keep hyping him up as the best souls boss. Phase 2 makes his attacks much more obvious and he has an attack where he stands still for 7 seconds where you can wail on him. The only issue he had was his dick had an active hitbox during his sideswipe for some reason so you had to look at for, which caught a lot of people off guard because that was das2 levels of hitbox fuckery

BB is about on par with DaS3 in terms of boss, I'd argue BB has a much more unique world since the medieval fantasy setting has been done to death and thats why it get's its appeal. I think BB is the best because of it's unique combat system, so don't get me wrong I don't hate the game. Just think the game isn't much better than the others in the boss department

DaS has the best "open" world to autism roleplay in addition to having an atmosphere comparable or beyond Demon's Souls. I love STALKER and Dark Souls feels to me like a medieval fantasy counterpart of it so the open-endedness of DaS1 makes me feel the most at home.

Why would I play a series for a mini-game that was added merely as a side thought?

I play the souls games for the exploration, discovery and the lore. All games are so easy to let yourself lose yourself to immersion and live the story through your silent character. Having the freedom to explore and make decisions that can impact the world is what appeals to me. I really enjoy how the souls series handles itself by not telling you straight up what you need to do and is usually vague and leaves it up to the player. The single player is the most important aspect of the game, invasions were a unique idea but ultimately ruined due to people's natural tendency to be giant cunts. These games are best played offline.

Ds1 has the best overall design to the game, the decision between whether you shield, roll, attack, or heal is what it all comes down to. And if you dont do the right one at the right time the game will punish you for it. Rolls have ending lag to make them actual spot dodges and not spam evasion, shields are great granted you have the stamina, estus is slow as shit and if yolo'd in someones face you're gonna get rocked.

Where the sequels go wrong is that estus is fast as shit and more spammable literally in peoples faces and rolls are basically invulnerable when spammed. Then they nerf shields for some reason and the game's balancing act between attack/defend/dodge/heal is all fucked up. You basically never need to shield cause rolling is so strong and healing is way faster than it has any need to be. Put it all together and you get a game where you spam roll, spam attack and spam heal whereas in Ds1 you have to make the correct decision and making the right or wrong one can make or break a situation

maybe it's because a heater shield in ds1 was enough to tank virtually anything pve throws at you and anything with higher stability allowed virtually invalidate any offense against you?
nerfing shields was a completely valid decision, i'd say they are still too strong, especially greatshields
>>
>>159664948
Except it does, because it means the entire boss is made irrelevant due to these oversights. Gwyn isn't a very formidable boss because of parries, Champ, and Gehrman are in the same boat. Friede and Orphan both are missed opportunities, I'd argue Orphan moreso because all it takes is one charged R2 to the back in phase two and you pretty much won the fight.

Also you're already arguing in favor of my point, the bosses are about equal in the series and aren't as hard or challenging as people make them out to be.If you want truly difficult fights you would play games that take a little bit more care into their fights like MH/Soul Eater, Ninja Gaiden or DMC.

when it comes to souls games, presentation, atmosphere and music are much more important to bosses than difficulty because there's not a single boss in the entire franchise that doesn't have some sort of exploit that makes him completely trivial to beat though this is absolutely the same for vast majority of games excluding some real and ultra rare hardcore as fuck examples and those are usually not fun to fight at all like a fucking demifiend in DDS1 which is a boring as shit 1.5 hour grind

if you debunk friede, ludwig or any other great souls boss just because you're too much of a hardcore gaymer to enjoy their boss fights then your taste is just a plain fucking shit, it's that simple

Parting Flame
Melee have to respect black flame now because they'll lose the trade every time.
They also can't deal with flame surge because it punishes reactive play hard, which get a lot of meta pvpers butthurt.
Black Serpent punishes those who run out of range from Flame Surge, and because it doesn't cost too terribly much we can keep going forever.
Rolling from a black serpent could set up for a nasty CBV roll catch.

Essentially, pyro's aren't a free kill anymore and melee can't play the same passive-reactive game they do with other melees. But instead of learning to play you have players who just resort to running away until you're out of mana, run out arena time or use crossbows and try to chip you out with that because it's easier to use a hard counter than to learn how to outspace black flame and condition opponents. They're so use to play reactive-passive they have no idea how to be aggressive -- it's really sad.

Is current playerbase really so fucking retarded they can't quickly develop tactics against good but in no shape or form overpowering build? I've been killing pyros both in duels and team battles relentlessly, they are only good in teams and only if they are actually covered by party members, otherwise they are just walking sources of free points.

In fact, i find stealth sorcerers much larger pain in the ass because they can go up to 1k damage with their crystal soul spears during team battles and snipe from bumblefuck nowhere right when you're dealing with someone else.

Didnt have tumblebuffing but there was an extremely difficult way to swap weapons during the animation of another.

>>159668636
With crystal MW I imagine it rapes.
>>
>>159668636

What I mean is, he's only getting like slightly under 400 per swing most of the time, so around 800 or so with 2 hits. I've gotten around 700 off of 2 hits regularly so I don't really see what the big deal is with the tumblebuffing, I assume it's because even though you get the damage increase, it's still split damage vs. pure physical.

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me, idk famalam.

Yes, yes it is. When they lose to something it's not them being bad, its the other build being broken. So they look for counter weapons/builds.

It's just like using a shield versus pole. No one wants to deal with a playstyle that forces you to not be allowed to play how you want. Polefags force you to play how they demand you to, so you make them suffer with you. Pyrofags force you to play how they demand to, so you make them suffer with you.
It'd not be that bad if there was perfect connection, but serpent demands nearly no lag to be able to 100% dodge without straffing backwards, so you always do this to not be fucked by lag which makes fights never end

That's just another symptom of the development team having no clear direction, the sequels are such a mess. The player is intended to have a power baseline founded on the slow and methodic sword and board combat of Ds1. Then they for whatever reason decide to remove the recovery animation from anything below fat roll while also making shield blocks eat more stamina and additionally messing with stam regen and consumption. As a result the equilibrium between defending and dodging is punctuated and rolling is the completely superior defensive option. Then to compensate for player's rolls being ridiculous the speed and power of enemies has to be adjusted which punctuates the equilibrium between the capabilities of the player vs the capaibilities of enemies. Then as if that isn't enough to fuck it all up they make estus chugging absolutely ridiculous. Poise gets neutered cause tank characters being able to tank hits is apparently a problem. The balance between speed and power of weapon classes and disparity of effectiveness between weapons within each class are other gigantic issues in the sequels.

But worst of all is that if you point out any of these problems you'll have a rabid pack of literal retards screaming about how their retarded opinions are right and that X or Y minmaxed build, which they'll link, is proof that an underlying system is broken and that the only reason they lose is because poise is broken, or backstabs are broken, or whatever else that beats their darkmoon blade r1 spam is broken.

at 60 int court sorc staff has 238 spell buff. That means using crystal magic weapon on a MLGs adds a FLAT 228 damage to it.

>>159667398
>This series was so good at ignoring idiots
Top kek, if DeS was released post-DS2 everyone would call it casualfaggotry.

DeS was built around throwing the player stacks of hundreds of grasses coupled with super strong regen, Second Chance, spices you could infinitely chew to get heal miracles ensuring that an enemy badically had to one shot you, otherwise you could recover.

Bosses in DeS were also easy compared to the other games in the series. DS2 base game probably had worse bosses than Demon's bosses but while the levels in Demon's Souls were long, the combination of infinite grasses and strong regen was making it more of a test of patience than anything else.

DS3 has some strong regen stuff too but DS3 gates the regen stuff into pretty late in the game whereas in Demon's Souls you could get Crescent Falchion AND Adjudicator's shield in 4-1 and Regenerator's Ring and Fragrant Ring pretty early on in World 3 IIRC.

Demon's Souls' levels with DaS1 World interconnectivity and DS3's combat mechanics would be the ideal game

charge up that R2 leap forward and the moment you pancake that motherfucker you won, manage your stam and just chain pancake him as he gets up, they literally can't do shit if you do it properly.

It's how I kill tso, havel etc on my 10-20 twinks.

If your a caster just boulder heave, it has the same effect with the added bonus of shit tons of dmg and a bit more range, it's also insanely fast with sage ring.

It would be nice if in DS3 they all weren't weak to bleed except for Dragonslayer armor though.

I agree with your post otherwise, the bosses are designed to be challenging but the fact that they have a weak point is intentional so that the whole observation aspect of the gameplay would kick in.

The bosses need to be challenging enough so that the players have a chance to study the boss and then employ strategies to take them out. That's why Pinwheel is a shit boss and Fool's Idol is pretty good since the Pinwheel fight has no time to require any tactics.

Except there are plenty of things far more powerful such as follower sabre and every single GS.

CCS and WP are mediocre by today's standards. WP was never that great anyway. It's just a katana.

WP is nowhere near top tier. It's just a katana and katanas are shit this time around because Miyahacki is a westaboo. It's all about straight swords and greatswords in this game.

It is, hits harder and has more range.
The WA can't punish any good weapon on reaction and it only roll catches people dumb enough to roll into it. It also loses trades versus CCS is they strike during the first two slashes (which they should, the 3rd slash is always punishable if you didn't combo). Carthus is still the rapestick that nearly nothing can stand up to. And to those that can, you just swap to GFS with a good offhand.

>You can only hold 30 of one kind of Greatarrow at a time
W h y
Greatbows are already essentially a meme weapon considering they're so slow that you have to be extraordinarily cautious in order to be able to hit an active enemy with it, and they only do as much as a single combo from any weapon barring the broken straight sword
If their worry was about somebody sniping their way through the game, then why bother when you can already do that with magic anyway, and it's such a tedious way to play the game that no sane human would even bother

All I want is to be able to inject a little fun into yet another play through by using a weapon I've basically never used seriously but I guess I can't have that, thanks From

I'm not really into clavicles, but I am able to think beyond my own perceptions and understand that there is likely a large variety of clavicles in the eyes of somebody with a fetish for them.

Are you unable to do that with feet? I mean, it's not really even about feet -- everything is like this: noses, ears, etc.

honestly i don't even consider it to be a main pvp weapon, but as an offhand it can be useful, especially during group battles on arena for finishing people off because wa covers an impressive area and you can cancel it at any moment

let's say for arguments sake that DLC2 is in Londor/New Londo/ some dark city shit
Area 1 should begin at the city gates and have you battling through londor knights (who are not Darkwraiths) lots of vertical space, tight corridors, well thought out 1v1 encounters
Area 1 concludes with the captain of the city guard.
mid size dude in armor with a large lance on a narrow bridge. phase 2 is abyss form which cause parts of the bridge railing to break away and he gains dark magic attacks

Area 2 is the inner city which is overrun by abyss corruption
more open spaces but with a focus on mob encounters that make you have to use the terrain to prevent yourself from being cornered
Boss 2 is the Final Sister of the Sable church
{insert anime cliches here]
Area 3 is fighting down through the church itself
>inb4 more churches
final boss fight is The 4 Kings

>>159679447
As far as the World design in a future Soulsborne title goes, I think they could keep to Dark Souls 3's world design with some differences :
One of the cool things in Dark Souls 3 was showing the game world opening before your eyes in the High Wall after defeating Vordt and basing the levels mostly around one central transitional level(Road of Sacrifices) was imo a good choice.

However,the linearity and the lack of other connections between the levels kinda blew chunks and made the experience unfortunately seem very linear.

I think that the next Soulsborne game should opt for like a mix between Dark Souls 1 and 3 scrap free warping to whereever and instead either give a bonfire at "junction points" where they can serve more than one direction or the levels are based around them like CotD.

I'd like to see a Road of Sacrifices-kind of level network which keeps the earlygame progression fairly controlled, but at roughly 30% through the base game you end up at a castle that regulates access to the rest of the game. You're supposed to kill boss y to get the access to the "intended" Lords of Cinder you have to kill but you can also take on boss x earlier than planned and access the lords meant for higher-level characters first. So at that point the game's progression becomes like a wagon wheel.

>>
>>159684538
DEX gets very, very few actual weapons meant for pure DEX builds

almost every weapon in the game is meant for quality builds

notable, actual DEX weapons:
sharp dagger
sellsword twinblades
chaos blade
pontiff great scythe
sharp crow quills
sharp crow talons
sharp exile greatsword

best way to make a dex build is to start mercenary, infuse sellsword twinblades with sharp, carry an offhand sharp dagger for ridiculous criticals
turn in 10 wolf grass and put the old wolf curved sword in your left hand, this makes your twinblades heal you significantly each 2 L1s and boosts attack power

DEX is stat efficient but low on weapons, you don't need VIT, much END, just 40 DEX is fine with these weapons

is it fun?

eh

takes 10~30 minutes during peak hours to get a summon. and it has to be in an obvious spot. playing during the dead of the night it's, well, dead.

it's more or less idling on another monitor, watching for that blue summon message in the corner of your eye. i actually got summoned for man eaters recently & i completely blew it, got knocked off the ledge on the first shockwave attack.
>>
>>159685569
Yeah, and if you stack that with pontiff's right eye you get double the attack boost since both effects stack

You can hit some scary fucking damage numbers with that, probably even higher if you carthus beacon'd, although it would probably be better if you resined or DMBd the sellswords

Although I don't think even this will top rouged wardens on a hollow luck build simply because the bleed procs are rapid and bleed instantly destroys health bars

Damn, should have done this from the start. Ultimately went from doing around 110 damage per swing to around 175 or so, and he was wearing heavy armor, so I'm still not sure if the DMB is worth it or if I'd be better off staying quality with resin. Still fun, though.

there's no "sequence breaking" in ds2. you have to go through everything in sequence, but you can choose the order

unless you're playing scholar, in which case they artificially limit your choice with 50 stupid statues.

Pinwheel was the first boss I ever fought in a souls game outside of the tutorial, and my reward was mask of the child. I have a soft spot for him for that reason, but the fight was probably higher quality fighting him at such a low level.

I was stubborn about that graveyard.
>>
>>159691178
Fair enough. At least in that game you could tackle all the paths in a variety of different orders. It reminded my of the demons souls archstones. It was still a lot more open then ds3/bb

>but you can actually sequence break in das3, unlike das2
I like DaS3 miles over 2 but that's bullshit.
DaS 3's only sequence-breaking is Dancer. Sure, ther are a few moments where you have a choice between two areas, but the game pushes you towards one.

There is nothing for doing the catacombs first, so every playthrough it's best to do Cathedral first.

>"Killing Dancer earlier than you absolutely have to" doesn't count any more than choosing one path over another
Then "going through the valley of drakes to the blighttown exit before the depths" shouldn't count either.

"Sequence breaking" technically means using glitches.
>>
>>159691794
I agree
I also don't think whether something is TECHNICALLY a sequence break doesn't particularly matter
And if you don't consider it from that perspective, DS3 is still linear as shit and DS2 has much more options at any given time

>DLC 2 will just be one entire big reference and no new content
>>
>>159691794
That's fair. I guess it's a poor choice of words. But like that other dude said, it really feels like the game railroads you down a particular path with only a few branching paths here or there late game. Compared the ds2/des with the many optional areas at once with no particular correct path, or the large variety of ways you can go through the pre sen's and post anor Londo areas, it just feels way more linear which, for me at least, hurts my drive to replay. I still love the game though
>>
why did they implement a respec system if they are going to limit it 5 times a run. It's like they really wanted to kill pvp form the start
>>
>>159692148

I hope they dont give any new weapons, spells, armor, or gestures. I would love for them to reveal they are just JewJaps and will have their reputation tanked. They deserve it, and the dumbass JewSoft fans will still buy a content-less DLC anyways.
>>
>>159691913
>DS3 is still linear as shit and DS2 has much more options at any given time
Which doesn't really make a difference, considering that DS2's options are all shitty, unfun levels.

Incidentally, most of DS1's level design is also pretty uninspired. Sure, Bloodborne and DS3 are more linear, but the levels are more fun and detailed.

As far as "making more characters", I found DS2 unbearable for putting together builds because of how fucking long it was. If you wanted something near the end of the game, you have to slog through so much crap compared to either 1 or 3.
>>
>>159691978
Yea
>>
>>159691631
>>159691763
it's still better than das2 since you can actually be rewarded for actually playing the game well (like in das1) by accessing equipment and items that you shouldn't have at that point. the only advantage that das2 had over das3 in that regard was the DLC, which has been negated with AoA since you can access it as soon as you get to Cathedral.

like I said, more 'options' doesn't really even matter when every one of them is yawn-worthy. i'd take the dancer-skip over any of das2s "options" any day.

and don't take this as defending das3's design in particularly, since das1 still stomps the shit out of both of them in that area anyway. just drives me crazy that I keep seeing people perpetuate this myth that das2 has so many different worthwhile paths to take at the beginning of the game compared to das3.
>>
>>159692321
I agree that making characters themselves was kind of a slog in 2, but I also felt like it had the most variety and viable options. Granted 3 still has a lot of time to get there with balance patches (I hope) but I fought so many different builds in 2 and even though 3 is getting better, I'm worried it will never get to the levels 2 had just because of the nature of the game
>>
>>159692276

The DLC had a bunch of new weapons many of which are anywhere from good to at least usable, a new area to invade which has no fog walls (it's just one big area), and the Arena.

The point of the DLC and the game in general is PvP you mong. I haven't been playing this game for hundreds and hundreds of hours playing the same single player content over and over again. The fun is in the PvP.

If the next DLC doesn't do something big for PvP like this one did with the introduction of the Arena, then sure you can shit on it. But you have to look at it from a PvP point of view because that's where all of the longevity is in the game.
>>
>>159691716
How so? The base game was incredibly short. It doesn't feel very optional if you can finish the game really fast without visiting the optional areas and bosses. I never really felt that Cainhurst or Nightmare Frontier for example were optional because without them the game felt very, very incomplete.
>>
>>159689961
anything in particular?

maybe put on super high Encryption
>>
>>159692490
I think it's more psychological than anything. I'll agree that the addition of the dlc helps a lot. Plus with dancer it's not like you have to do it as soon as you kill vordt. You could go back at any point you feel ready. But like I said earlier looking at the items you can get by doing that route it doesn't seem that worth it to me. I liked B lining for a particular set of items that I wanted to use but there isn't really anything in ds3 that I feel is worth taking the non standard route through the game to get
>>
>>159692570
Still you have to admit they could've put some more content in there. I mean the Gravekeeper Champion uses a new weapon but armor pieces from the base game. Uncle Gael has new armor but uses the Executioner Greatsword and the Sunset Shield. Why not give them all new equipment? Sir Vilhelm is a new NPC done right.
>>
>>159692785
set some devices streaming or downloading shit and set them to highest priority with QoS

can also set dark souls 3 and steam to lowest priority if you find what ports they use
>>
I also think the DLC is severely undertuned for the game. If you go in there at SL60-70 with +6 weapons the DLC offers a decent challenge, but anything past SL80+, +7 weapons it is way too easy.

Nice. Work on your noses, I know they're hard/irritating but do it if you want to get better.
>>
>>159693215
Yeah I found that to be a little weird. I personally found friede harder than any of the old hunters bosses just due to my play style of being extremely aggressive, but the areas in old hunters were hard as fuck compared to the painted world. I probably died about the same amount but I was also a bit over leveled for old hunters and I was the recommended level for painted world
>>
>>159692718
In terms of optional areas, you have:
>Old Yharnam
>Hypogean Gaol
>The Workshop
>Hemwick
>The Lecture Hall
>Nightmare Frontier
>Iosefka's Clinic
>Cainhurst
>Upper Cathedral Ward

I mean that progressing from one area to the next really does almost always open up access to an optional area. You almost always have somewhere else you could be going. They didn't do as many branching paths in mandatory progression as they have in the Souls games, but optional content is like 40% of the base game.

You get even more choice of where to go throughout the game and you can also just choose to bumrush the end of the game without it taking too long if you want to make, say, a Burial Blade character.

Only being long if you decide to make it long is a more meaningful choice than just picking what order you want to do the Lord Souls in.

After 3 hours of invading in DaS3 tonight I think I'm finally done with this game. It's an absolute pile of shite outside of PvE, and even then it simply isn't nearly as good as Bloodborne in the PvE department.

I understand giving hosts advantage due to invaders, but this shit took it to the extreme, so much so that the only possible way I could see someone enjoying invasions is if they're a legitimate masochist.

>host has 30% more HP than you
>host has 2x the Estus
>host can summon 2 phantoms
>host can also get a Blue Sentinel
>host can use Seed of Giants, as if having 4v1, twice the Estus and 30% more health wasn't enough of an advantage.

Even Bloodborne, with its shitty bell maiden system, wasn't nearly as in the favour of the host as this pile of shite. One of the scariest and most fun things about Souls since DeS was that fear of being invaded, yet now you can just laugh off an invader because you have so many advantages.

Congratulations Miyazaki, you successfully ruined one of the most exciting aspects of the Souls games.

>So I am good with slow weapons but suck ass with "Meta" Weps?

People will argue with this but slow hyperarmour weapons with high damage are easier to get results with in PvP, and generally do well in fights between shit players who just hit buttons.

The reason is obvious, if 2 people with no idea what they're doing just walk up and press R1 at each other, with no spacing or thought process, the guy with the Greathammer is going to win. Faster weapons are "meta" because they have the speed and range to outplay other weapons and get clean hits in without being punishable, but that only matters if you're good enough to use those advantages, and if your opponent is good enough that they would punish the weaknesses of slower weapons.

If you're not very experienced, and the guy you're fighting isn't very experienced, grab a mallet and swing away.

It's not much different than DaS3. Fucking regularl greatswords 3-shot you with 40VGR as an invader, Ultras and Greataxes can 2 shot. Magic and pyro 2 shots if you're unlucky enough to be distracted in a 3v1.

The damage has just gotten to fucking retarded heights.

At least BB has some decent anti-gank weapons like Kos Parasite and Bloodletter.
>>
>>159705869
What's stopping you?
>>
>>159697252
Slow weapons only work if you're up against a shitter.
If you're 1v1 a person who knows what they're doing while you're using a heavy weapon while they are using a fast weapon you might as well just disconnect because you literally can't win without parrying them.

An aggressive playstyle doesn't work with ultra weapons. They're all about mind games and baiting your opponent in your swings.

You can't pressure anyone with an ultra since they're so slow even my grandma could dodge them.

my friend was on last night with a gankquad in the DLC, using Dried fingers and was only getting 1 invasion maybe every 10 minutes.

he sat there and complained that nobody was invading and then bragged how he "rekt" the invader in a fucking 3v1 when someone did invade. pulling shit like that and then complaining that nobody is invading.. I never realised he was such a gigantic faggot.

>>159705572
I agree with you 100% but I have a theory on WHY.

He's an artfag so he doesn't have to make sense to others or even fucking care about what people like. It's about his vision. I think he intended player invasions to be LIKE another obstacle and since host always had an advantage, it was supposed to be that hosts kill invaders like they would other enemies, except slightly more dangerous and random.

Problem is, people got good at the game and some played unfair (twinking, ganking, etc).

So BB's system is so you can't be invaded (except areas intended to be very difficult, and even there only for a period) unless you summon help, which then initiates the process which allows you to be invaded.

DS3 goes a little further and the mechanics weren't thought out well because the way they interact, they actually not only favor hosts, but mechanically support gank squads.

>>159706286
If it is no risk, just sprint to them and invade from there. Takes a few seconds at most.

Honestly the only thing that is broken IMO is seed. They need to get rid of that shit or make it unusable if you've already summoned phantoms.

That and >>159705701 is correct. Having to retrieve your souls just adds needless tedium to already frustrating invasions.

Holy fuck you're retarded.

If you want a challenge don't fucking summon people you mongoloid.

When I summon phantoms I expect them to basically solo the boss for me. I do this when I'm rushing through the game on a new character.

Summoning phantoms trivialises the game to the point where even scrubs like you can suceed.
