Someone explain this to me. I'm SL30 +3 mainly invading crux woods (plus watchdog invasions of course). Wondering both if I should go to SL35 instead or stay where I am level-wise, and +6 weapons at this level wtf.

Both the loyce greatsword and gundyrs have middle of the pack damage in their weapon classes
are you sure it was buffable? I remember it not being able to, granted I havnt touched the game since early 2015
the weapon art really makes it though. catching them without a parry offhand in the weapon art guarentees that you hyper armor through any trade they would be doing and is godlike for roll catching

p-please respond!
how the fuck does SL35 +6 in farron keep work? +6 seems way too much, do purple invasions work differently with weapon upgrade level or something?
>>161269552
You don't.
SL35/+4.
Apparently all the plebs I know summon for Lothric because they hate that fight, apparently a lot of people think this.
I don't understand people.
The first jailer , an inhabitant of the Profaned Capital who managed to escape its collapse and was recruited by Pontiff Sulyvahn to oversee the path leading to Boreal Valley . Perhaps the screams emanating from the Ashen ones helps him forget his old home,

It can get stupid hard on later NG cycles just because they get so much health on the second phase out of nowhere. I like summoning people for it while carrying two TPGS just to be obnoxious.
>>161269782
You sometimes get lucky and catch people with +4 weapons, yeah, but it's not optimal at all.
>>161269925
So is SL35 +4 ideal, then? Since otherwise, I'm currently SL30 +3 and wondering if I should move up to that instead?
Tell me something I don't know about DaS, /DSG/!

I get that but I'm just talking about people I know that did their first playthrough.
I don't get how you can get that far into the game and still not appreciate fun bosses. I think a few of them play Dark Souls just to say they finished Dark Souls.
They're entitled to their opinions but they're still shit opinions. Might ask them what bosses they think are actually fun.

either way, he's just a watered down version of the 4kings poster, ignore him
>>161270000
It all depends on the area where you want to invade. I would go SL30/+4 in the Forest, SL35/+4 in the Cathedral of the Deep and Farron Keep, SL40/+5 in the Catacombs & Smouldering Lake and SL50/+6 in pre-Sulyvahn Irithyll.

How do you counter hosts who unlock and just keep trying for backstabs?
>>161270147
Yeah I know that I have the chart and everything, I just say 35 since it makes more sense for most people/plebs. Looks nicer. People are used to seeing 0 or 5.
But yeah, +3 is retarded and +4 is superior, then? Worth taking on the +5 or 6 SL's even if I'm mostly enjoying invading in crux woods? Though farron keep looks fun after watching that yt vid.
>>161270427
unlock
>>161270368
>I think he was combining the C in PC and Cuck
Tell me what else your amazing detective skills see
>>161270412
5 levels can't make that much of a difference can it? I want to go SL36 +4 and invade crux woods, farron keep, and cathedral. I know even at SL30 +3 I can get regular invasions at cathedral so it should be reasonable for going SL36 +4 in crux woods, right?
>>161270471
Beats me. I invade SL 26 +2 in the swamp and just get people who're nice and fresh instead of returning visitors. I'd go for +4 if you want more since it's even.
>>161270023
Damn I want to fuck Beatrice
>>161270501
I thought you took it to stand for playstation cuck or something
>>161270602
Should be fine. Although I have no experience in the Forest at that level.
>>161270368
Who's 4kings potster ?
>>161270605
Well titty shards get you up to +3 and you get dreamchaser ashes in farron keep near the wolf covenant which let you buy all the titty shards you want, so I figure +4 should be fine since it'd be +/- 2 weapon levels. I don't think anyone is in the swamp at +1, I'd figure most are between +2 and 3, maybe topping out at +4 since the first large titty shard upgrade comes cheap.
>>161270795
Fair enough, thanks. In that case I'll make a backup save and try out SL36 +4 and see what the woods are like at that level. If things start to get real fucky with seeds and ganks (doubtful, but who knows) then I'll just revert to the backup since I know SL30 +3 is fantastic.
>>161270471
That chart is pretty useless.
>Summon several meta equiped players at pontiff for fight club

>>161270368
Yes, but accusing someone not including Bloodborne in Souls because muh pcuck is dumb because Demon's Souls is only on ps3, therefore the term pcuck comes off as a childish accusation.
It's like if I gave 4 co-workers, one of them being black and 3 whites a slice of pizza while neglecting a 5th black co-worker and he'd call me racist for not giving him a slice.
Are there any weapons you can use to fight ganks with leo ring?
>>161271180
What gives you the biggest relative advantage is not really interesting, since you'll be invading people of a higher SL as well.
You should look at what the most common SL and WL is in each area, then increase your own SL and WL just above that so the most common SL and WL fall just near your lower invasion boundary.
How comprehensive are the softbans in das2? How accurate are they?
Is it the same rules as das3 where you just have to use common sense and not change things like stats and sl? Can i item swap if i go offline to do it?
>>161271207

>>161271617
Is there a chart for the most common SL and WL for each area?
Alright so this game features an amazing you hit them they take no damage they hit you during iframes for half your health
So my question is, should I just respec to a shitton of health endurance and equip the highest poise and hyper armor weapons and just trade blows? Because 3/5 times I have to trade for it to count

People that point down after a solid/non-meta/fair duel: what's your story?
I'd just like to know what is going through your head when you do it. Of course you're entitled to use whatever gesture you want after a fight. Hell, if there were a "middle finger" gesture, I'd expect it to get frequent use; but for scummy wins and cheap tactics, not for genuinely enjoyable and good-natured fights.
Are you upset I'm not running a build identical to yours? Are you offended that I actually took away most of your health? Are you legitimately out to passive aggressively rub salt in a wound? Let me know, cause y'all fascinate me.
I won't even disclose the amount of salty mail I've gotten from people that BEAT me (Yes. They won, and felt the need to message me about it). But the content ranges from homophobic epithets, assaults on my integrity as a gamer, and of course unprovoked/unwanted advice on how to play the game "properly."
Seems no matter what weapon/build I run, I am a magnet for this kind of behavior.
And no, my username isn't ISISnazi420blazeit (that was taken unfortunately).
So tell me: what's the real story?

As someone who fucking loved the Lloyce GS, let me tell you that its moveset was nothing great. Pretty much the only thing that made it great was its bitching 2h poke, its 2h R1's were definitely different, but they weren't anything special.

Opinions on that differ, and it can also be difficult to pin down for some areas.
There's a list on one of the wiki's, but plenty of people (including me) disagree with that.

Blog continued then.
Ok I found a big lady petting a giant maggot and joined her covenant because I got invaded by the waifufag from DaS 1 and figured I need to switch to an invasion covenant anyway. (plus I had a character in Princess Guard in DaS 1) No red eye orbs, but respec access, apparently? No idea what her deal is.
Anyway got back to firelink and a lady that only talked to me once (and then, to tell me to mind my own business) declared that we were enemies now. Sorry. Ok.
Finally Greirat is curled up into a ball moaning.
I have no idea what I'm doing.

Not exactly an uncommon thing in the general. It's just hard to do because the majority of the general plays on pc so asking at a later time in case a ps4 user comes on doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world to me. I'll knock it off for tonight if it's really bothering you though.

it was only hard because you couldnt use a seild and heavy armor to crutch your way trough
It was more fun because of that also
So what's the meta SL for duels and brawls nowadays? Is it still 120-125.

>>161274432
140 is common
the arena has larger SL matchmaking than the base game
you can be matched with a SL150 while you're SL120
Given that DaS 3 has one more useful stat than DaS 1, why wouldn't the meta be higher than in the first game?
>>161274653
its actually the fun way to play it
shield and heavy armor is at the same time efficient and boring as fuck
theres a reason people prefered BB over other souls games and it was because BB wanted you to play the fun way

So if I go to 130-140 for the arena, will I be superded to invasions? I don't want that, but I also think that the invasion scene is kind of dead anyway at this point because of the very fact of the arena's existence.

How the fuck do you back stab in this game?
>>161278110
I ran it on a much older card before upgrading, with minor stutter in firelink shrine at 1080p. You'll be fine as long as you aren't trying to push AA or play at 1440 or higher. It will run better for you than it does on the console versions, at any rate.

You backstab from the opposite direction the model is facing, which is not necessarily where their back is visually.

You can get a +4 weapon by cathedral by killing the giants, or nowadays by hitting the DLC early. I would go +5 but I am far too skrimpy when it comes to weapon damage to use a +2 millwood greatbow, the difference in damage is just too great for me. It really annoys me since in DaSII and III there really is no reason to have special weapons go to only +5 other than pure tradition.

Got around to playing unpatched DaS, what an experience. Finally beat it, I think pre patch izalith is so much worse pre patch shrine of amana, so many fucking dragon asses.

Correct, except for the gauntlets; it's Dancer's.

Pssssht, nothin' personal, kid.u mirin my swordgrass, anon? :^3
>>161285859
actually the ds3 has the best Claymore
same moveset of ds1 but the 2hr2 is a thrust instead of a wide arc, normally this would be considered a bad thing but there isn't as much of a need to dead angle in ds3 so it works more in your favor
i have always had a thing for greatswords in souls games and if i need the wide arcing r2 then i will switch to one of the 11 greatswords i have fully upgraded that has it (usually the flamberge because its the longest)
>>161286185
No, because it's not that hard to get summoned to Watch Doggos like some people meme, and Sword Grass is probably one of the easiest to grind covenant rewards along with Dregs.

I played DES forgot about the game til DS2, hated it, played 1, loved it, played BB and enjoyed the DeS gameplay, then 3 and kinda just played it til i beat it then waited on the DLC to beat that
if you wanna bring pvp into the argument i had the most fun with DES because it was the first time i've ever played a game with such imbalanced retarded online interraction in my life anything after was automatically "how do i piss this dude off and waste his time for as long as possible before killing him" in the following games
>>161286215
thats a good point my man.
Before, you could only do it the 1h r2, as you know, but I didnt think about that.
>>161286113
Actually I just like it because it has the DaS2 greatsword moveset. I'd use Drakeblood but fuck farming ears to make it deal viable damage.

I've never really understood the people who legit just hide because they're scared (not to "help out blues while I go to bed" or whatever the shit people do sometimes), it's just a fucking game, man. If you're so afraid of losing your souls just fucking spend them before you head out, it's really not a big deal.
Only "hiding" I enjoy doing is around corners or behind columns. Only webm I have of this is me getting rekt by someone doing it to me, though, but you get the idea.
Is there a list somewhere for the best PvP quality weapons?
>>161287869
literally anything is good with quality, other than a very small selection of weapons that are best with 66 str
>>161287916
There are dex weapons too which are best with 60 dex, like chaos blade and crow quills. I think the lucerne is a dex weapon too, right?
>>161287786
I hide because it's fun to know I've successfully annoyed the invader. Since his job is to grieve and annoy I can't help but feel smug knowing I'm causing him grief as well. When I get invaded i just pop on das1 or des on the ps3 and play those characters until they give up
>>161287375
Why the fuck didnt they keep in the miracle from 2 that revealed the location of enemy players instead of building that shit in to Blue Sentinels? Fucking anything to hint where the host might be when spawning in if theres no clear sign already
>>161286368
yeap, the point of using greatswords is the move-set versatility, it pains me to see these kids r1 hyperarmor spamming because its FOTM now
twin princes greatsword for example is a wonderful weapon with a wonderful moveset, it may not do as much damage as the others but thats not the point, despite this i see so many shitters r1 spamming with it and when they are suddenly in trouble because that doesn't fucking work against anyone with half a brain they spam its laser WA until they run out of FP

You have a weird way of dictating the worth of time, friendo. I mean congrats on "wasting" literally 1 minute or less of someone's time I guess, just seems kinda petty especially if you need to have a console set up with a whole other game just in case you get invaded.
>>161286215
It doesn't. DaS3 Claymore is below ds1 claymore. DS1 claymore was used due to it's good stat efficiency, good bs damage, good poise damage and good 2h rolling attack. If anything DaS3 claymore doesn't share any of those properties. It isn't das1, the game works differently now. DaS3 claymore is just underwhelming, because it is solely reliant on trades to win and can't really do anything else.
>>161288750
>>161288739
Thanks famm. Pretty sure smouldeirng lake invasions don't work that well though, same as profaned capital, right? I'll keep the "shit pits" in the cathedral in mind though, and post pontiff if I feel like making a backup save and then leveling up so I can invade there. I don't really think slumbering is necessary though, obscuring should be enough since even if they're wearing obscuring too, you're going to see them long before you're in range of knocking you off, especially with the obscuring ring nerf with vertical distance.
What did she mean by this?

>>161291434
Canvas Talisman for the poise WA and point blank casts.
Yorshka's Chime for long range casting and the HoT WA.
Okay, so I'm going full Christmas miracles and frost. Going to invade with seed of giants on hand to help up to the boss.
What's good Santa armor/clothing. I don't think there's much for a hat I'm afraid.
>>161291434
>40 FAITH
Literally none. Go 60 or delete your build.
>>161291434
Yorshka's Chime for highest spell buff and thus highest damage. Sunlight Talisman for best Unfaltering Prayer to ensure you can actually cast. Canvas Talisman for best all-rounder.
>>161291515
slave head for your hat
>>161291515
slave knight hood
>>161291576
sunlight talisman is hardly better than canvas, you'd have to use the canvas one in the most retarded situation imaginable to actually get poise broken
>>161291515
Slave Knight Hood. It's red and pointy.

Good weapons for a Faith build? been using dragonslayer's axe but it doesn't seem that goodmaybe I'm just bad,which I know I am
pic related is the build,pls give advice
did the swordspear ever have hyperarmor on its 2h r1? ive been invading with a nameless king cosplay and with 24.5 poise i keep getting staggered by ss hits.
>>161279639
Why do you have a boss' health bar?
I've done it, i have become the lmao2kat edgelord
>>161295458
wolnir's soul weapon is good but you can't put your blessed weapon on it
>>161295735
>ds2
>>161295494
It did. Still does. Got nerfed so you need like 55 poise from armor to tank straight swords.
>>161295458
>dragonslayer's axe but it doesn't seem that good
I use it for my faith buidls too. I use lothric greatsword othertimes, it is a nice change up from the axe but has a huge stat investment
Also, I recommend sage's ring, the casting time for stake and storm take forever and this helps it out
>that awkward feel when you invade a Straight Sword user and can't tell whether they're using a stamina trainer or if it's just A-team balance at work
Guess I need to learn how to parry.
>>161296007
There's like thousands of videos on YouTube that demonstrate parrying in Souls PvP.
The easiest ones to land are the ones where you and your opponent stagger eachother, and you parry directly afterwards instead of rolling away, assuming your opponent is an R1-happy retard.
>>161295967
I rarely use storm, it seems too slow to trade with people, should I drop it or is there a specific scenario for me to use it?
>>161295814
I'll try it out,but I'll need to get someone to drop it for me.
>>161296226
The videos I watched all seemed to imply you can setup parry by eating two R1s and parrying the third, but I only ever get partials.
O-okay, I wasn't even going for a backstab there, but...
>>161296383
you can pretty easily with the regular small shield parry (not the buckler/target shield)
not that you should try for that, but if they tend to keep hitting r1 after the second connects and you notice, it's a reliable way to punish them when you do get hit
>>161296383
It's super unreliable because of latency. You shouldn't risk those parries unless you're certain you have a good connection to your opponent, which doesn't happen that often.
>>161296646
>(not the buckler/target shield)
I thought Buckler/Target Shield parry on the 10th frame just like the Caestus, and small shields on the 12th frame?

that doesnt count, you didnt reply to the post
Did any CEmancers ever explore New Londo? Like where Jar-Eel could've been located?

Yeah he said he's "doing it easy the first run", aka being a huge bitch. Good thing about the drake sword is that eventually it falls off so I'll look forward to him crying about the later areas.
dark souls 2 is directx 11, and the game runs so well. meanwhile, the first game doesn't run well at all. why is this the case?
>>161298112
That surprises me because my dark souls 3 keeps playing audio when I tab out.
>>161298189
The first game wasn't planned for a port, and got a bare-bones one (and was promised as such) as a result of a fan petition.
The second game was planned for PC from the start.

Oh wait that was DaS3's entire design philosophy
>>161298439git gud
>>161298369
Planned for a port, you literal-minded dingus. The graphics downgrade was a result of it being planned for PS3/360 hardware which was on life support already, and platform parity means PC got the graphics downgrade as well.
>>161298369
I don't remember ever seeing that screenshot. That colour palette/relatively lush trees gives that shitty area a completely different vibe.
>>161298241
Why is the third one so poorly optimized then?
>>161297758
Also, I notice it far more often on hosts than phantoms.
Most phantoms in my experience tend to use giant fuckoff weapons like Yhorm's Machete and an offhand caestus.

"Throughout the game development process, a game is constantly being balanced not only in game playability, but also in the realm of resource management,” From told MCV.
“A developer is always challenged with creating the most rewarding gaming experience while delivering continuity in graphical quality, gameplay dynamics, and balance within the game. The final version of Dark Souls II displays the culmination of this delicate balance and we’re very proud of the positive media and fan reception for the game.”

>>161299565
>I'd wager it was because it was shit.
It's actually vastly more flexible and less janky than the DeS/DaS1/DaS3/BB engine, which is one reason there was so much creative CE fuckery going on in 2; it's literally an engine you could hypothetically use for Steam Workshop modding support or something because it has less arbitrarily tied-together mechanics and everything is easy to modify without breaking everything else.
It was probably just easier to reuse existing shit though.

>>161300098
>Either nothing because oversight
Did you not look at the webm being discussed there or what
>>161300141
literally anything
battle axe
>>161300141
Dual magic or raw (depending on stats) and cmw buffed blue flame for funnest spellsword (if only ds2 had some ds3 spells)
For hexer either roaring halberd (if you're good with sweetspots) or maybe crypt blacksword if you like greataxes
>>161300365
No, it was taking forever to load. Simple r1 then. The dude depleted most of his stamina on that charged r2
Thinking about giving Demon's Souls another run through since I'm off work today.And I haven't seen my waifu in a long time.
What's the best stat to just fucking PUMP asap?
Dagger or Mail Breaker for a dedicated crit weapon?
What infusion?
>>161300746
Luck
>>161300748
mail breaker
depends on your stats, raw for low levels, refined for metashit. if you're on strength then a big weapon is better for crits anyway.
>>161300748
What build, breh? I think dex builds are better with a sharp dagger while casters with raw mailbreaker
>>161300746
Endurance so you get more Equip Burden and Item Burden.
Beyond that, STR is actually good in Demon's Souls so I'd go with that.
Is it just me, or does DaS3 have a lot more random wedges like this that you can get caught in, compared to 1 or 2? I can remember myself being in this situation a lot, myself.
>>161300141
fume sword for dark
watcher or defender sword, whichever one is int based
>>161300893

>>161300819
>>161300871
27/40 because I'm not quite 120 metashitter and don't intend to get there for some time.
Sharp Dagger then?
>>161300957
You have 40 Dex, use the Sharp Crow Quills you nerd.
>>161300141
Dragonrider Halberd for Magic. I had a blast on my battlemage playthrough using it.
>>161300889
What are the hardcaps in DeS?
>>161300990
Too heavy. Why else do you think I'd be asking about daggers?
>>161301075
I'd really try and fit it somehow. If you can't then yeah, sharp dagger @ 40 dex will give you more than a refined mailbreaker w/ your stats. Has the upside of letting you bully ultra weapons via quickstep spam too.
>>161298728
That's wack. DaS1 runs terribly even on modern pcs while MGS5 can run on a literal toaster while having better graphics. Personally I have a crud pc but a friend who has both a beast pc and a PS4 reports that he's getting bad performance despite fulfilling the recommended reqs no problem.
>>161301020
99, same as usual.
>>161297913
Eh, my friend who's most certainly not a casual used the Drake Sword on his first run and said that if not for that weapon he would've stopped playing DaS1 early on. Noobs use the Drake Sword but then they learn to actually play the game.

Tell me that Aldia is that scholar, i fucking dare you.
You DS2 tards are hilarious, DS3 straight mocks your irrelevant lore with "gone beyond death" jokes and you're still trying to find connections that plain doesn't exist.

Aldia is the scholar as he is the first scholar of the first sin, get it through your skull.
>>161303373
>Aldia is the scholar as he is the first scholar of the first sin
He's also a character from a game, 95% lore of which is not recognized by DS3.
>>161303282
So? They're still blatantly meant to be different form of the same fundamental sorcery, just changed over time much like the "Or perhaps" line of Lightning Spear offshoots, like Heavenly Thunder or Lightning Stake.
Everything after DS1 doesn't make sense to me

Aldia's title in Japanese is: 原罪の探究者 (Genzai No Tankyuusha) which translates roughly to researcher of the original sin, or as we know it "Scholar of the First Sin." The word used for "Scholar" in the Japanese name is "探究者"(Tankyuusha) means researcher or investigator.
As for "first of the Scholars" found in the Soul Stream item description we have: 最初の賢者 (Saisho No Kenja) which roughly translates to "first of the wisemen" or "the first sage." The Japanese word used for "Scholar" of "first of the Scholars" is is "賢者" (Kenja) which roughly translates to wiseman/men or sage.

DS3 is a good direct DS1 sequel that shows the last cycle of Flame. It shows a clear evolution of setting and answers some questions present since the first game, like the identity of Gwyn's firstborn.
It's DS2 that should've been a separate game given that it has virtually no ties to DS1 except for braindead retarded fanservice like Ornstein.
>>161303173
>>161303526
>It shows a clear evolution of setting and answers some questions present since the first game, like the identity of Gwyn's firstborn.
That's literally the only question it answers, and it creates countless more questions in itself because lol fuck closure.
>>161303373
Nothing points to that other than an alignment in beliefs. But go ahead, close your eyes and scream aldia is the scholar. After all, you can get a horse to the pond but you can't make it drink
>>161303430
Yeah, and since soul geyser is a form of soul spear, it means aldia is secretly logan
>>161278640
this should've been the point of sunbro invasions in my opinion
All this lore memeing makes me wonder if there's any actual implication of Pontiff Sulyvahn being a sorcerer in the original Japanese, considering he is literally never seen using sorcery and is a generic Big Guy With Sword(s) boss that the series clearly needed more of.
>>161303059
In From's case everything after 1 that links to the other games IS pretty much fanservice so this argument is pointless.
>>161303083
>All his actions are aimed against the linking on the flame
Hawkwood:
>Let's take Aldrich, for one. A right and proper cleric, only, he developed a habit of devouring men. He ate so many that he bloated like a drowned pig, then softened into sludge, so they stuck him in the Cathedral of the Deep. And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might.
So who is "they" Anon? Because "they" stuck Altrich in the CotD and "they" made him a Lord of Cinder.
>>161303658
>if there's any actual implication of Pontiff Sulyvahn being a sorcerer
yeah man, it was somebody else who created frost weapon and snap freeze sorceries
in other words, you're one dumb motherfucker
>>161303616

Well that explains the discrepancy in kanji in their titles, Aldia mentored both Prince Lothric as well as the Crystal Sages.

DaS2: OLD IRON KING HAMMER, god I miss that weapon, used it on my Iron King "cosplay"

>>161303779
Should I just take this as a tacit admission that you don't have shit to say because you can't find a way to make it seem like Sulyvahn had nothing to do with the Deepfags sticking Aldrich in the CotD and making him a LoC?
>>161304192
look at the wooden signs, motherfucker
now think about who was interested in linking the fire at any cost because daddy said him so
>>161303774
Because someone who repeatedly says the phrase "thick meme glasses", "live and breathe memes", acts superior over reaction images after having said "Drang invaded Lordran" does not merit a true response
>>161304064
Londor is a hilarious concept since it's like South Africa that is having it's moment of brief glory after declining the oppression of the white gods but will soon degenerate into a total ghru shithole.
It's literally one retard who thinks Aldia isn't the scholar, even though he was given textual proof countless times.
Did the ogres in Dark Souls II assfuck you? It shouldn't be triggering you this much.
>>161304284
>acts superior over reaction images
You made a post that was nothing but a reaction image and I can't help but feel that you've started posting them as a distraction from the actual content of your posts.
What makes you think Drangleic never invaded Lordran?Try not to rely too heavily on memes.
>>161304440
>they have infinite purging stones
Not happening.
pcfc?
>>161304560
How about no? I'll just go ahead and keep posting them while you try to huff and puff about memes all the fucking time on the memiest website there is.
And for the record, Drangleic's relations to Lordran are purely from the retarded fanservice in DaS2, not any great and justified thing.
>>161304267
You're just leaving cryptic answers so you can look through the wikis and try to weasel your way out of what you said earlier, aren't you? Answer the damn question and while you're at it feel free to tell me what Sulyvahn did to prevent the flame from being linked.
>>161304646
Isn't Drangleic and Lordran like North and South on the Dark Souls world?
>>161304449
>all the people who disagree with me are one person

Simply ebin. You're only undermining your argument by acting like a faggot
>>161304586
>infinite
How do you think they're made?
>>161304691
More like a Tamriel-Lyg connection
>>161304691
As far as I'm aware Drangleic's exact location is never known since you reach it by falling into a raging sea anus, just that it's "across the sea" which could imply any amount of space
>>161304868
Dark Souls 2 was all a dream makes more sense than the lore in the game
>>161304646
And suddenly it's not about me being wrong but about more memes. There's plenty of reason to think that the Drang knights confirm Drangleic's invasion, there's little to no reason to think otherwise unless you just can't stand the idea that Dark Souls 2 is canon.
>>161305018
>>161304449
I don't give a shit about aldia he could be the first pygmy of my asshole. He's the most useless "important" character in the entire series. All he's good for is a mediocre boss fight that I don't mind, but fuck him for the obnoxious bonfire exploding just to say meaningless shit.
>>161304925
Dark Souls III is non-canon by default, since it assumes I was a cuck that didn't kill Gwyndolin and Priscilla
>>161305090
There is no NPC in the entire series who says as any truthful things as him.
>>161305090
>He's the most useless "important" character in the entire series.
Wouldn't that be Anastacia? Half the people who played through DaS1 don't even know she exists.
>>161305054
>>161305090
>mediocre
you give him too much credit, his boss fight is atrociously bad, worse than nashandra
>>161305136
Where do you get your info from? Your booty?
>>161305157
At least he can kill you, unlike 90% of DS3s bosses
>>161305250
if you've died to the talking head you're the shittiest player on the planet, congratulations
>>161305250
>that big fireball attack
I don't even know why he was a boss fight anyways, all he had to do was give you another choice after you beat Nashandra
>>161305117
>truthful things
He doesn't say anything new or not obvious at all, and he thinks he's so important for saying shit everybody already knows about at this point. Also let's not forget he knows ALL that, wow, and yet he became an ugly sack of shit.
>>161305136
She's not supposed to be important, while he is. He's shoved in your face the entire game.
>>161305284
If you ever die in Dark Souls III with unpunishable rolls and instant estus, you're a shit player.
At least Aldia has root attacks that can be tricky to dodge, and punishes impatient players.
>>161305298
He had to test you, like in an anime.
>>161305340
>He's shoved in your face the entire game.
He was also DLC that was released months later
>>161305351
>he has problems with root attacks of all things
certified shit player, i see
and it's amazing that ds2 faggot instantly tries to redirect the hate to some another game
no, my dear shitter, aldia is just a garbage fight on its own
>>161305340
Dude, nashandra is your primary adversary. She's been manipulating vendrick and then botc to get to the throne
>>161305340
>He doesn't say anything new or not obvious at all
So you're saying that Frampt and Kaathe are reliable information?
L O L
>and he thinks he's so important for saying shit everybody already knows about at this point.
Clearly not
> Also let's not forget he knows ALL that, wow, and yet he became an ugly sack of shit.
He's still more handsome than you
>>161305364
As if it added anything of value into the game except for a new bossfight. It's in the very name of the version and yet it means jack shit. Yeah fuck that guy, Aldia.
Are there any weapons that cast pyromancies like the golden ritual spear but for pyros
>>161305418
>and it's amazing that ds2 faggot instantly tries to redirect the hate to some another game
Says the IIIcuck who literally trembles at the thought of one of the better NPCs in the entire series being in III.
>he has problems with root attacks of all things
Nice to know you get hit with his other, even easier to dodge attacks.
>>161304687
>cryptic
there's nothing cryptic about anything i'm saying
you're just a retard
>Sulyvahn did to prevent the flame from being linked
uuuhhhhh, sealing the entirety of Lothic from the castle to the main entrance to the city with his top knights so no unkindled could pass?
or maybe the fact the entire religion he hijacked is twisted to work around the idea of letting the flame die to ascend to the age of deep waters that lies beyond it?
or maybe the fact he grew up in the painted world, all inhabitants of which reset their world instead of letting it rot?
>>161305424
So you needed Aldia to tell you the most obvious shit before you understood it?
>>161304586
That's like saying cannibalizing your own populace means free food forever, further proving the nigger analogy.
>>161305520
Aldia is the Ancient Dragon
>>161305520
So you're saying you fell for the serpent lies even thought it was the most obvious shit they were lying through their giant teeth?
You sorry fool
>>161305571
Kaathe did nothing wrong. Everything he said was right. Fuck you, fascist. Hail Kaathe.
>>161301619
>>161305571
What did aldia say we didn't already know. Not that guy, just curious. I don't remember anything profound
>>161299479
ded
i have done everything several times over
>>161305661
He was there to explain the story to new or confused players
>>161305627
That the first sin was relinking the fire. That the fleeting human form of existence is lie, although a delectable one.
All Kaathe mentioned was gods sheparding humans.
>>161305690
I remember googling for any missed stuff or secrets after beating DaS3 for the first time, and it turned out I didn't really miss anything of note.
This is vastly different from my playthroughs of both 1 and 2. I wonder why.
>>161305778
So you're saying he's loredump with no original or unheard lore. Damn. I was expecting nothing and I got exactly that
>>161305519
>there's nothing cryptic about anything i'm saying
None of your answers have been direct, you've just been beating around the bush because you got your headcanon mixed up with what happens in the game.
>sealing the entirety of Lothic from the castle to the main entrance to the city with his top knights so no unkindled could pass
Like every other big boss ever in this series of video games? Gwyn did the same thing and he wanted someone to find & use the Lordvessel.
>maybe the fact the entire religion he hijacked is twisted to work around the idea of letting the flame die to ascend to the age of deep waters that lies beyond it?
And yet that church was directly responsible for linking the flame.
>maybe the fact he grew up in the painted world, all inhabitants of which reset their world instead of letting it rot?
And linking the flame would be that reset.

because after 3 souls games before it and bloodborne we have seen every trick these games can pull
You know, it just occurred to me that this gate is bent inwards, as if something tried to break in from the outside.
What the fuck?
>>161305893
Linking the fire doesn't reset the world, it perpetuates it. Otherwise we'd see in ds3 the same characters as ds1
...why did they put him in backwards?
>>161306013
probs vordt trying to break it down and then is like "oh shit its not locked, i can just open it"
>>161306013
Don't think too hard on it. Miyazaki probably didn't put any more thought into it than he did on why the fucking demons from DaS1 show up to fly you into the Undead Settlement.
>>161306127
You mean the same demon's from demon's souls tower of latria?
>>161305661
He's responsible for introducing an option other than linking the Flame or letting it die, which seems to tie directly into what Yuria wants you to do and also pretty much confirms that Kaathe was right at least as far as Frampt and the Gods being full of shit.
>>161305570
Then who's the bonfire man?
>>161305861
You will hang when our Lord of Hollows makes Londor whole again.
>>161305870
Wow, you managed to get all four endings at once on your first playthrough?
>>161306127
>>161306153
In DaS1 they were just kind of shoehorned in due to cut content. You can see the mountain path you were originally intended to climb up to Anor Londo from where you fight the Iron Golem, but the path's got a sloppily-placed wall blocking it.

>>161305870
Dark Souls 3 is better at naturally guiding you through the game so that you discover everything fairly easily and in the developer intended order. It ensures a great experience for the one and done crowd, but it's kinda shite for extended replay value. However, the placement of the first dlc was fucking perfect because you can choose to do it early but it's balanced for late game.
Although I still managed to miss Smoldering Lake and I probably would've missed Archdragon Peak if it wasn't for the patch notes spoiling it's existence.
is there a point in doing NG+ or should I just make a new character when I want to start over?
>>161306204
Endings are not gameplay content. I'm talking about shit like Ash Lake or hidden loot/secrets.
I only found the Archdrake Robes in the Bastille in 2 a few months ago, for example, despite picking up 2 on launch.
>>161306297
play game with your character again if you like him against slightly tougher enemies
if you're talking about das3 you get better version of some rings and better soul items as a bonus
>>161306284
>Although I still managed to miss Smoldering Lake
How? There's even a developer message hinting at it with the subtlety of a brick.
>>161306095
You know damn well that I wasn't saying that linking the flame is some kind of timeskip. Linking the flame gets the world back to (the new non-grey) status quo which most people consider a good thing, that's kind of the entire goddamn reason you're in Lordran in Dark Souls 1, even if you don't know it when you first arrive.

DaS2 has more interesting NG+ than the rest. In DS1 you unlock some new online features. In 3 you can get + versions of rings.
>>161306347
talking about souls 3
so am I basically fucking myself over by playing at high SL in NG instead ng+? and how does Ng+ work? will my weapons oneshot everything or does everything start at lvl 1 again and all my weapons are unupgraded?

Drake sword can easily make quick work of the whole game
So lone invaders against 4 decent phantoms basically have to pop WA on BKS and 2H kamikaze the host?
I've never been able to survive a decent squad of phantoms, it's just 4 good players against 1 okay player, bad enough 1 v 1.
