>>161409778
I don't like that, it's further dumbing down the Souls series mechanics and equipment weight is a good way of enforcing resource management on people.

BB was fine because it's not a Souls game.
>>
>>161410283
Sin doesn't exist anymore.
The one allusion to "Sin" that exists in the game is NPC aggro but there's no PvP sinner flag anymore like 1 and 2 had, which is why blueberry invasions cannot exist.
>>
>>161410319
Yes of course.
>>
>>161410283
>how dorkmoon works
sometimes you enter the world of some guy who's in way of blue

>what happened to sin
'''''sin''''' is now retconned to represent any aggro you might have accumulated with any NPC

If your next question is "why is Dark Moon the same as Blue Sentinels? What's the difference?", it's because fuck you
>>
>>161410331
The problem with resource management is that the heaviest weapons need the heaviest armor, and the lightest weapons do not, so it's a double burden on the former.

One possible solution would possibly be to remove Quality builds and the Vitality stat, and make Strength convey weight limit on top of heavy weapons damage scaling.
>>
>>161410204
>make it impossible for white/yellow summons to interact with invaders
Y/N?
>>
>>161410425
Why would you even have Darkmoon without sin? God damn it. There's a lot of good stuff in this game but some of these decisions are pants n head retarded in a really obvious way.
>>
>>161410425
>but there's no PvP sinner flag anymore
there's something that decides getting concords well kept and i suspect that it's tied to the amount of successful invasions tho
>>
>>161410528
They could just balance it all better.
Or put armor upgrades back in, but with the upgrades adding weight to the equipment.
>>
>>161410529
no, but activate friendly fire between the host and his phantoms during an invasion
>>
>>161410528
Heaviest weapons also do by far the most damage. The current poise system is the problem, not th smart decision to split vitality off from other stats. Any stat that vitality would get pared with like DaS 1 would become by far the best stat that everyone wants to invest in.
>>
>>161410529
It would give Purple Summons some actual purpose, I guess.
>>
>>161410654
Just kill phantom estus during an invasion like TRIGGER WARNING: DaS 2
>>
>>161410604
No, Concords Well Kept are from killing Aldrich Faithful as a Darkmoon.
It's literally the same mechanic as killing Darkmoons as a Rosaria Finger for Forked Tongues. Nothing to do with sin.
>>
>>161410331
The resource management always reaches the final point of retarded setups like chainmom or cow witch.
It'd be good if we were talking about capable developers, but since from proves time and time again they are unable to make the system work nicely, they might as well get rid of it

What if using a Seed as an invader did this?
>>161410668
Most damage per hit maybe - and good luck landing that hit - but not most damage over time. That throne has always been held by two-handed curved swords, which are also a lot easier to land hits with.
>>
>>161410765
they could still cover each other asses and heal with miracles
really, the lack of friendly fire is the main reason why the pve with summons is brainless
>>
>>161410813
There's always going to be something that's the most optimal. As long as the gulf isn't huge in practice it's acceptable level of balance. It's not like chainmom was unkillable.
>>
>>161410668
>Any stat that vitality would get pared with like DaS 1 would become by far the best stat that everyone wants to invest in.
Not if light weapons do not benefit from this stat, because light weapons are always more meta than heavy ones.
>>
>>161410813
>but since from proves time and time again they are unable to make the system work nicely, they might as well get rid of it
They should probably just get rid of online entirely then and just make Souls games a big boss rush.

>>161410904
>What if using a Seed as an invader did this?
That's a pretty good idea.
>>
POST PONTIFF
>>
>>161411024
It was significantly superior to anything else. If you go to DaS's online, most people will be using a mask.

From isn't competent enough to make a equip burden system a good one, nor poise, which is why I dislike and think both of those should be removed since they aren't good enough to implment them.
>>
>>161411271
>If you go to DaS's online, most people will be using a mask.
I have. I actually haven't seen a chain mom in ages. But yeah the masks are fairly popular. Probably a bit less than half of all players I saw were using one of them.
>>
>>161411271
>>161411376
The solution isn't to remove special properties on armor.

The solution is to make most armor pieces have special properties, or really good base stats if they lack them.

But this would require From to not bend over backwards under publisher pressure to rush out unfinished buggy games with no balance testing.

This tbqh

>>161411894
Minmaxers will always minmax as much as possible.
>>
>>161411896
>turn the game into AC
But every single AC game has a weight system and is entirely focused on parts min-maxing. That is literally the opposite of what simplifying/removing systems would accomplish.
>>
>>161411376
The mask and waistcloth are the more iconic and disguting parts of it and the more widely used ones. Most builds can slap either and shave stats for free.

>>161411673
Even when given time they fail at them. Or rather, look at BB, plenty of time, no special properties and the armor was fine. Their most complete games don't do shit with armor and it's not missed to have special effects.

>>161411896
>system needs to be improved
>company is very incompetent when implementing it
>they failed thrice at making it meaningful AND good, even with patches
>they could remove it and perhaps direct their efforts towards other sections of the game they're more skilled at, like level design or PvP interactions

If you're bad at something, you should play to your strenghts when you can. From has proved that even with patches they are unable or unwilling to fix these issues and I have very little faith they'll ever reach a point these are good.

Literally every enemy in the catacombs will very frequently drop titanite shards for you
You get 6 or so large titanite shards in Smouldering Lake, then they start dropping in Anor Londo from the knights

DS2 is horrible in basically all aspects of it, starting with anything concerning visuals and sound and ending with gameplay and especially level design/bosses. Removing SM would achieve nothing aside from maybe making robflynns even more common, DS2's balance is just THAT shitty.

I recall reading somewhere that the Japanese players didn't mind Soul Memory at all and just kept leveling to like 387.

The ivory dlc added the best fucking magic spell in the game, that fucking force type move that knocks motherfuckers to the floor is the best shit for motherfuckers who wanna stay in your face. Not only that the soul rsin in ds3 is fucking SHIT compared to DS3's because ds2's actually fucking tracks people and isn't just a random spray of shit from the sky. Not only that but you had speed variety in your spells, this is how I know you didnt. You used soul shower into homing soul mass into crystal soul spear, why? Because they all move st different speeds which you can mix and match to fake your opponent t out, not only THAT but there were so any fucking items that made spell casters more powerful, blue dagger, lion mage set, domino mask as well as the fact that you didn't have to worry about a fucking mana bar, so fags with no attunement couldn't get away with casting spells or buffs multiple times. I could go on but I have a feeling dark souls 2 touched you in a naughty place and you'll never be able to forgive it for raping you

Dunno about the best (small aoe doing 300 damage sure as fuck ain't it) but it certainly added the worst miracle in the entire series.

The thing I liked about DaS2's magic and the game's mechanics in general is that it showed very obvious signs of experimentation. People were doing weird shit with magic in that game, and it led to some outlandish things at times. Meanwhile, all the enemies in DaS3 use new takes on miracles, sorceries, and pyromancies, and we get to use 1% of what they get.

crown of dusk is a single ds3 exception while ds2 had such an amount of ugly and much more powerful gear it was simply baffling, including the crown of iron king which is the strongest caster item despite being ugliest crown in the entire franchise

ds3 at least has two magic schools that work and another one well-designed but lacking good fast spells, in ds2 i could simply take out anti-elemental shield and dispelling + 1, then laugh at poor baby casters thinking that their "mind games" are really going to do shit to me when all their action have two hours long predictable startups

Try SL36 since there's no actual difference for invading between 35 and 36.

Otherwise yeah I've been testing SL36 +4 since last night and getting instant invasions constantly in crux woods, so I'd say it's the one to go with for woods/farron keep/cathedral invasions imo. I'll have to try the others later but it definitely works for crux woods.

When he was at 1000 subscribers he was telling viewers how his wife is being supportive of his streaming thing and so on. He said "it's been a fucking rough year" implying that he had to endure a lot of shit but I wonder when he was saying that everything was going good he was merely putting up a facade while everything was shit but he tried to show a brave face to the viewers.

I tried calculating how much he would be roughly getting from subs and I don't know how much Twitch's cut from the subscribtions is, but if it's 50%, 2000 subscribers are earning him 5000$ monthly PLUS donations PLUS bits so he should be doing well financially.

>>161421730
If you're planning on using a scythe then use Friede's and build your character around it. It scales off of physical damage using DEX and INT for it's WA so you're already on the path. You might as well use it since it seems to be a perfect fit for what you're using. Just remember to have more ample DEX than INT if you're only going to use the weapon and vice versa if you plan on incorporating spells. It's ideal to have a good amount of both if you don't care about meta SL.

What's your favourite souls?

Mine is BB > DS2 = DS1 > DeS

Haven't played DS3 yet but it looks like BB with more weapons. DS2's level design and atmosphere was pretty bad but its a fun ass video game. DS1 is good until the end. DeS has probably the best story out of all the series since it actually had a coherent story. The flaws being how bad the weapon balance is and how the bullshit some of the platforming (the swamp level) in the game was. My complains are probably because of the game's age, the textures and quality certainly didn't help.

Fug. I've been saving up so I can get a PS4 for BB and future Soulsborne titles and I thought that DS3 was a pretty short game for a Souls title and if BB is even shorter than that it's gonna suck.

Dark souls 2 is super fun for me. Its more slower and methodical. Dark souls 2's slower animation made you more deliberate with your attacks so you don't spam. Backstabs and parry are harder and fair. It made PvP more skill orientated.

The atmosphere is none existent but the scenery are more varied. I like the lush colours each area have, greens are more vibrant and each area feels less like "the Road" than the other souls game. Its a more video gamey souls game, the world is built like a tradition video game rather than constrained by the story or theme. Its less artistic but its fun.

At least you can invade in this game. And I honestly don't know what people think is "wrong" with invasions since they're pretty fun and chaotic now.

I guess the time of invaders slow walking up to the hosts and making gay gestures at them for half a day is over and replaced with invaders actually gaving to know how to play.

>>161426601
They stacked a tad too many advantages on the host and the priorization system kinda sucks penis when invaders have to work with so many maluses already. But otherwise the DS3 invasions are the best they've ever been.

a thousand times worse

he's the hardest thing in the game in the depth 5 dungeons, but like any boss that can be parried, parries make him more reasonable, but even then, his attacks have no startup half the time. In the cursed dungeons, he's straight up dante must die mode.

That webm is the guy at full possible health. In the cursed dungeons, you fight the same exact boss but with half your health so he literally 2 shots you or one shots you if you fuckup a dodge.

That was a mistake that got patched. Might as well bring up stuff like the Crystal Ring Shield in pre-patch DaS1.
But wait, you like glitches because you like DaS1 PvP which revolves 90% around who can abuse glitches the hardest. Fair enough I guess.

Being short doesn't add much to its invasion quality.
The DLC is only useful because the area is big, but its individual zones aren't any special. Sniping spots still being inferior to 1.

I'm not saying backstabs don't take skills. Its just Dark Souls backstabs feels more unfair because of how jumpy it is. You instantly get locked up in the animation and you can't do anything about it. Dark Souls 2 at least made it feel like its your fault for getting backstabbed with that animation it does. Also I never used the painted guardian sword so idk how effective it was. However, I noticed how much harder it was to parry with a normal or even a buckler than DS1 since the timing is more precise.

with the painted sword it even was easier than ds1 parries. i don't know if they really fixed it, this guys say everything in ds2 got fixed with le patches. but when you did parried someone they would lay on the floor waiting you to kill them for like 5 hours, that was super bullshit. Also, being able to riposite after kicking a shield was bs too.

I haven't used any scythes in DaS3 so far, so I've been wondering: is it better to 1H or 2H it?

The R2 and running R1 seem a lot better 1-handed, but I just cannot really figure out whether the regular R1s have more range/speed 2-handed or 1-handed.

I've noticed it especially with larger weapons, like ultras. I consistently hit things visibly outside of my range even in pve. It feels like From actually just extended the hitbox of a bunch of weapons. It feels like tonnes of things that used to have nearly pixel-perfect hitboxes now have similar hitboxes to straightswords.

Blind playthrough guy again. Pontiff Sullyvan was really cool but worried I cheesed it by summoning Anri. He seemed much easier than other bosses. (I'm summoning story NPCs because I'm worried it effects the plot like in DaS 2) I wish I knew more about him. So far all I've got is he runs Irithyll, makes ghosts, and apparently locked up a God and fed it to something. Was also disappointed at the lack of a flashy intro.

I also killed the Old Demon King. Is it normal to feel bad for the Chaos dudes all dying and turning to ash?

Yuria continues to creep me out. "my bride is ready". I have no idea what it means but I have a bad feeling about it.

Getting invaded a ton in the area outside of Pontiff. Aldrich guys seem pretty cool.

you should use the whole moveset, both 1h and 2h. this is more true for reapers than maybe any other weapon class in das3 because of how the useful moves are split up.

So on a serious note, what do we assume of Priscilla?

We know she isn't the doll thing at the end of the DLC. A lot of details are different plus she was a lot bigger.

Also it's stated that "In the painting, the scythe is a symbol of a long-lost home" on Friede's weapon. Has to be referring to Priscilla's Scythe, considering Friede was trying to imitate her. So is Priscilla still trapped in an older world?

Dunnel's flame states "When Dunnel lost his hideous spouse, he gave his own pyromancy flame as an offering, which transformed into a parting flame.". Either she died or he literally lost her, as in she wen't missing.
No corpse or soul of Priscilla, or anything of hers really around him. Which is weird if it's referring to her.

Also oddly enough, Dunnel was in Smoldering Lake, and his pyromancy originates from Izalith(or at least the demons have ties to it). Is his 'hideous spouse' actually the fair lady? We do see her corpse in Ds3.


So what happened here? Is Priscilla hiding or did she died? Is Miyazaki just one big troll?

BB is edgier and has beasts which attract furries. They're very gay and there are a lot of barafags among them. Japan has a lot of them too.

BB had a lot of female fans. Japanese have taken to streaming in a big way because it's an easy-in for amateur net idol-wannabes. They just went from embarrassing themselves by singing shitty covers on nico and prostituting themselves on twitter to streaming games like BB and resident evil.

None of this is true.

What about DaS3 enabled the enormous amount of R1 spam we see?

Really short and only one of the bosses is any good.

It has better level design than any of the main game's content for PVE and invasions and the new weapons are pretty good though. Also a decent amount of hidden stuff to find, reminded me a lot of original DaS level design. Hopefully the next DLC is longer, if we were to get something similar twice I'd feel gypped out of 25bux.
>>
>>161437082
The bad hitboxes and short recovery of most things. People mash R1 because it's relatively safe and controls space.

In DaS2, the only weaspon in the game that could shot down roll-ins by mashing were straightswords. Everything else could either be backstabbed between the 2nd and 3rd R1 to shut down mashing, rolled out of range of and whiffpunished, or rolled through until they ran out of stamina. Mashing was unsafe, so it only worked against bad people that didn't know the basic ways to punish.

In 3 and BB, mashing is actually stronger than most counters to mashing. Rolling through the R1 of most small/medium sized weapons leaves you at a frame disadvantage, meaning the only direction to roll is out in an attempt to reset the fight to neutral. If another player violates your space, you can pretty safely mash to either force them out, or score a free hit when they roll any way but out.

The only real counters to this kind of mashing in 3 is to setup parry or get a rollBS, and the latter is very weapon-specific. If they mash, you have to run away, and fights against a masher just turns into constantly playing keepaway and fishing for whiffpunishes, because entering your opponent's range automatically concedes momentum to them.
>>
>>161437082

Maybe because most people suck? I find R1 spam really isn't that good in DaS3 when even halfway decent players are involved. If you're spammy as fuck you're just begging to get parried. Any good player knows to at most do 2 R1's, you stagger that shit, you learn how to roll catch. You outspace people. Even in gank situations you're just begging to get smashed by a hyper armor weapon who WILL win the trade.

Bad players R1 spam. Let them, I say. It's predictable.

In BB, you can't spam rolls to be invincible. There is a legit cooldown after each roll like the other games, whereas DaS3, rolls startup almost instantly after the previous one ends.

DaS3 it's these retarded fast as shit long distance bunny hops that just jankily startup like nothing, as if you're at 0% DaS1 weight.

It's fucked up.

Even BB has less roll distance for fucks sakes.

Very short. 2 hours short.

One boss is on the level of Cool Ranch Smelter and totally phoned in.

The other boss (there's only two) is solid and probably one of the best in DaS3, but it has a few issues. Namely, it's mechanically the same as the Abyss Watchers in that it can be parried, backstabbed and staggers with every hit, making the boss' AI exploitable, the boss itself very vulnerable to cheese and utterly trivialized by co-op (so no replayability).

The new armour sets are neat

The new weapons vary from being generic weapons with copypasted movesets, to being completely unique paired weapons with totally new movesets

It's good, but I don't think it was enough for the money I paid for it. This is the first time I've felt any kind of value-remorse for a souls DLC and it just comes down to there wasn't enough content

>bought PS4 for FFXV and TLG next week, got it with BB since finally there were games that justified it

>startup BB after being severely disapointed in FF

This game is definitely better than DaS3, at least in the gameplay/story department, I'll admit it. This feels like it has that same magic feel I had when I first played DaS, everything is alien and unknown, I feel like I'm a nooblet in the burg again. Same feel in the animations and sound, art style is good.

I will say though, I get the whole deal with Blood Vials and bullets is that you don't have a static amount you leave with, you can top up back to full as you go if you play well, in that regard, it's better than the estus system, but if you run out, it gets really tiresome having to spend your souls on just more drinks to have another go with. I like the system when I'm doing good but I fucking hate this when I'm doing bad.

I think they should've combined it with the estus system and had a hard 5 free vials that you always got, and your additional 15 you bought/collected. Like how your blood bullets show up as +5, the blood vials should show up as +15 next to the base.

Same goes for bullets too.

Other than that, It's great so far, I'm sure I'll have a fucktonne of vials by the time I finish the game anyway. It's just really sluggish at the start especially when I'm not used to the combat and I'm dying alot. Just beat Gascoine and Iv'e been playing all fucking night and I need to put it down.

I guess I'll ask, how does the invasion/coop system work? I've seen NPC "signs" around the place, but no player ones, I've read that people are summoned in organically via bell, but is there a way to physically place one of these tombstone sign things down for people? I dislike you can't see how activate/inactive an area is just by looking.

anyway, that's my blogpost

the npc sign things are unique to the npcs and were added in a later patch. Players can't do those.
You have to ring your beckoning bell and that searches for anyone within criteria ringing their small bell to come in as help.
You can tell how active an area is, by looking at the lamps. If there are 4 messengers there, that means it's pretty much just you there right now in your range. But if there's more or other guys there, it means there are currently people also there, and the messengers will have different hats if those people changed them from default.

DaS1
Had some good fun, but couldnt compel myself to replay it more than twice because the online was super fucking terrible, as in I never experienced a single invasion in 150 hours. Its probably easier than I thought it was in hindsight, but I bet if I went back to it after playing DaS3 for so long I would get buttfucked by the movement for awhile

the invasion wasnt anything it was just 3 people running around and the npc killing someone. The webm had no point whether you wanted it to or not

DS1 gave me that nostalgic NES feeling when games had a set of rules and finds new ways to exploit them in creative ways. Like mechanics and secrets you find by accident without any hint or the game blatantly exposing them. Moreover, playing inside and outside the box with physics; anything you see can be potentially reached. Finding the ladder to kill the Taurus Demon, walking on the archway to get to the broken window, Silver Knight Archers, walking on lava to get to the branches towards Lost Izalith city were all memorable. Movement was completely almost 1:1 since the trigger buttons moved your left/right arm and other maneuvers were used on your cross buttons; guiding my character in the world felt like I was traveling with them. It's amazing, this game spoiled me and I can't play anything else.

Dark Souls 2 is its own game with its unique way of playing while still being similar enough to the souls series to still be a souls game.

Dark souls 3 is just a poor imitation of dark souls 1 with bloodborne ADHD stylized gameplay thrown into the mix. Why play a bad dark souls 1 when j can just play dark souls 1?

there are countless references to ds1 everywhere in ds2. And unlike in ds3, ds2 references are just out of nowhere and nonsense.

>>161450546
The problem with lowlevel ganksquads is that the phantoms are always either twinks or scaled down sl300 faggots.

That forces you to become the cancer yourself, but twinking makes things boring when you;re facing non-twinked solo hosts, and still leaves you disadvantaged against properly prepared twinksquads

I don't really get how to PvP in this game.

Whenever I attack, people just spam roll two or three times, then they hit me back. Whenever I try to roll, the timing always seems to not work, even when I try to do it before, during, or near the end of an attack.

Moreover, I'll sometimes get hit by weapons that aren't even really close to hitting me at all, but it feels like I have to be right up in the face for anything to hit, no matter how well I try to space it.

Is the lag in this game that bad?

because unlike ds2, ds3 is a continuation to ds1 in the same world. the siegward was lame though.

So what you're saying is DS2 took concepts and archetypes from DS1 and remade them with new characters and new gameplay, whereas DS3 just took a bunch of shit from DS1, crammed it in and called it a day.
And this makes DS3 better.
It all makes sense now.

It was a combination of how cool Velstadt looked using it and the concept of a bell on a goddamn stick that I could crush people with.

No other heavy weapon has felt the same since, honestly. It was the only time ever that I've strayed from my pompous dexfag ways.

ds3 is better because if have better gameplay, level design, better enemy design, better bosses, better npcs, better lore, better endings, not ps1 textures copy pasted everywhere, etc.
ds3 isn't 10/10 but it's way better than 2 at everything , other than being shorter(i wish ds2 were shorter to be honest it was really awful to drag myself to finish that game), worst pvp, and not having 1 million armors and weapons like ds2, what i dont really care about, dark souls 2 is all about quantity over quality, theres like 50 bosses, a lot of weapons, armor, instead of doing few good things they did a lot of bad things with some good things between them.

not really, only ds2 crestfallen, he is different from all others. the crestfallens help you, on their own way.

still, just not wanting to go hollow is a very weak motivation, in des you wanted to save the world, in ds1 you had oscar wish, and in ds3 all the undeads were waking up, and you have the option of multiple endings.

But in ds2 you are alone, there isn't anything you can do at all, there is only one ending, you don't really have a choice. (i'm not talking about the dlcs now, but even if i were you still don't have a choice at the very ending like on all other souls games)

ds2 starts without a real purpose and it ends without a purposed, it was all for nothing , all to just sit on a chair in a room of stone that apparently locks you inside the room.

DaS1 had next to no multiplayer balance at all. They had no idea even what to do with pvp. Most "combos" that existed were simply a product of the weapon's stagger not being balanced with pvp in mind at all, and resulted in some cases where weapons could stunlock for multiple hits.

pvp balance simply wasn't a priority.

Allowing both reds and whites to heal was a mistake. At least hosts used to have to be a little bit aware and quasi-manage their party, and invaders had to risk the time required to pop humanity if they wanted to heal. It was so much more dynamic.

>>161452697
DeS' story is literally "Demons have kidnapped Boletaria. Are you bad enough dude to rescue it?". DeS' setting maybe but otherwise it barely has an an excuse plot.

People say DeS has the "best story" but I never hear any proper arguments as to why.

The only way to efficiently farm them is to get a red invade buddy, let him kill you and then immediately go back to firelink to check if one dropped.

This is a pretty good way to help a friend get ranks in rosaria/grapes early

Is it just me or is armor almost completely useless in DaS 3? I'm trying kind of a tank build for my first time through and while it was fine in the early game now that I'm at Anor Londo absolutely everyone out damages me and I get destroyed in every fight.

>>161454076
>not really, only ds2 crestfallen, he is different from all others.
First thing the Crestfallen Warrior in DaS 1 does is tell you that it's basically impossible and you're just committing suicide if you go. Crestfallen Saulden also offers you advice and lets you in the Way of Blue covenant.

I meant both. I'm just not used to r1's from straight swords and daggers stagering me and all the points in vitality feel wasted since there's almost no damage reduction and I get stunlocked a lot.

Stock up on consumable items like Green Blossom, Resin, Rusted Coins, etc. Buy spells from vendors.

Are you just doing it for fun, or are you doing it for the covenant items? Honestly, Watchdogs is easier than others to level because there's three Ghru right outside one of the Farron Keep bonfires, so you can come back later with high item discovery and just farm them for an hour or so.

BB has high replayability because weapons are so different. Best PvE in the series. Best DLC in the series. Best soundtrack. Chalice dungeons can make PvE go on for as long as you want. People who complain about the length are typically people who didn't do/didn't like chalice dungeons due the reused level layouts making them feel "grindy" at times. But they're worth it for the bosses.

I bought a PS4 just for Bloodborne and I'm cool with it. Plus if From really does release another Sony exclusive, I'm ready.

Sure is fucking nostalgia goggles here.
Demon's Souls' Crestfallen literally does nothing except dies after a certain plot flag.

DS1 Crestfallen gives you some ppinters on how to get to your immediate objectives and fights you.

DS2 Crestfallen offers you a Covenant and gives you stuff if you die 100 times and talk to him again.

DS3 Crestfallen actually does shit and has a proper questline.

Actually lets's rank the Souls series archetype characters :

Crestfallen :
DS3>DS1>DS2>DeS

Crestfallen :
DS3=DS2>DS1>>>DeS

Hawkwood actually does things without being a pussy about it. He's barely even crestfallen at all, honestly. Not sure why he's into dragons but hell, it's like the only time the existence of the dragon covenant is actually acknowledged in-story. They always felt like an easter egg in the other two games.
Saulden gives you various items, is a covenant representative, actually cheers up if you bring back other NPCs to Majula and maintains a sort of mentor attitude towards the player ("I will always be here, watching over you...") which is backed up by his official comic and might be his reason for not fully hollowing.
The other two don't even have names. DeS one might as well not exist.

Level up waifu :
Bonfire>Emerald Herald>Firekeeper>MiB

I do not want to warp back and go through a loading screen every time I want to level up. I especially do not want to listen to background mumbling while I'm thinking of what to put my stats into.

Paladin :
Garl > Velstadt > Eygon > Leeroy

Garl is the OG squid man and is cool. Velstadt is a pretty rad boss with a fun moveset. Eygon is hilariously forgettable because his summon signs are hidden in corners, his Firelink appearance is easily missable, and he doesn't do anything but die if you do Irina's good ending. Leeroy is a throwaway summon/invader with a meme name.

Wizard :
Orbeck > Logan > Freke > Carhillion

Orbeck gives you gestures and rings and shit, including the best PvE ring in DaS3. What a bro. Logan goes out and does things, a trend for DaS1 NPCs. Freke is boring and only notable for getting bootybothered over the player continually falling on his head for 1 damage when going to train with him. Carhillion is basically just a vending machine that can also optionally make Fume Knight harder for you.
Honorable mention to Straid who is cooler than all of them and would've been the best NPC in the series if he were in 1 or 3 and thus went out and did things.

Honestly, they all suck. Most of them don't even sell the bulk of the good miracles, you either find them on the floor/as boss loot or learn them from some other NPC later on.
I guess Petrus earns points for being a wacky murderer, and Licia earns points for being the true horrifying final boss of DaS2. Urbane and Irina are whatever, basically Carhillion-tier vending machines except Irina has a """questline""" as deep as Lucatiel or Benhart too I guess.

Witchfu :
Zullie > Karla > Yuria > Beatrice

I'm so sorry, but I can't get over my massive open-backed dress fetish. Stupid sexy concept-art-only witch. Also a fun little tragic love story with Alva, whose armor set I also happen to love.
Speaking of Witch Not Appearing In This Game, Beatrice a shit. Fucking horrible summon with no interesting lore to speak of.
Karla and Yuria are basically the same person. They're pretty good, I prefer Karla because "fiendish lad/lass" is a good phrase and because Yuria has a massive jew-nose.

Strong Warrior :
Siegmeyer > Benhart > Biorr >>> Siegward

Siegmeyer is just the right flavor of boastful goofy optimism in the face of a tragic dark world, later tempered with hints of him not being a bumbling buffoon at all but merely using his optimism not as a facade, but as a shield against despair. The one ending to his storyline where he dies in Izalith is particularly tragic, as it is you who robs him of his reason to live through constantly one-upping him and making him feel like a failure, crushing that fragile optimism.
Benhart is just a fun character in general. Thick scottish accent, sweet armor set, and loads of newfag bloodstains around him trying to get his fake Moonlight Sword. I remember when DaS2 had just come out and people were all "yooo" when they saw him wielding the sword, shortly before anyone had figured out where to get the true Moonlight yet. His "muh sword" jovial personality is also encouraging, if a reminder that one needs a focus bordering on obsession to avoid hollowing in this interpretation of the Souls universe.
Biorr is the OG boisterous warrior guy, but he just doesn't show up enough. Feels like a missed opportunity. Hell, he's actually super easy to miss period, and even if you do rescue him he only shows up briefly in the Nexus, then as a surprise helper for one boss you don't really need him for and as a clumsily executed (by the developers, not him) heroic sacrifice before Allant. It honestly feels like From realized their true vision of what they wanted to do with Biorr in Siegmeyer.
Siegward is shit tier due to being a soulless ripoff of Siegmeyer with nothing to stand out with on his own. Might as well have made him literally be Siegmeyer, they brought Andre back for no reason after all.

yes. she specifically mentions that she works for kaathe when she dies, sells you the dark hand and generally londor seems really deeply tied to new londo
>Why are the darkwraiths in farron keep?
the abyss watchers are only now waking up and they are still fighting to clear the abyss infection among their ranks. they're weakened and ripe for a sweep attack (fun fact: a single darkwraith glitching into the boss fight can destroy the boss alone with the proper rng. if both made it in, it would be a clear victory)
>Why do the darkwraiths drop tongues? Aren't they allied with Kaathe?
you don't cut their tongues, they just carry the tongues because they invaded or maybe you actually cut their tongues, not only hosts have them
>>
>>161466930
Siegward has nothing in common with Siegmeyer aside from being a knight of Catharina and sharing his easygoing demeanor.
He's actually capable without being overly dumb and reckless compared to Siegmeyer who outright kills himself unless you clear the area first or watches as you're getting ganked by silver knights.
His story is completely different from the story of Siegmeyer as well.
There's also some cute details like bowls of estus soup left across some locations alongside with items he forgot like sunbro covenant sign or talisman.

Anyway, I don't think you will be able to run decently on that pc.

A spell that is a landmine disguised as an environment object that explodes when someone walks into it, attacks it or rolls into it.
Basically Chameleon but explodey.

>>161469285
Competes with Dead Again for a niche.
>>
Str/pyro or dex/pyro?
>>
>>161469314
Onyx Blade/Pyro
>>
>>161469246
How do i display fps? I have lowered all my settings. I might just have to make due and settle for slow mo fights.
>>
is it still viable to powerstance 2 maces in DS2? I already upgraded one to +4 and read on the steam forums it was nerfed, just asking you guys to make sure before I waste more materials
>>
>>161469379
you pirated, right? try using some third party software like Fraps
If it's original, steam has option to show
>>
>>161468825
And? Collecting tongues of others won't change that
>>
>>161469629
It's a fantastic world, anon....
>>
>>161469629
How do you know? Maybe collecting enough enough billions of tongues she can make one for herself.
It's fucking magic ain't got to explain shit

>>sorcery that allows to banish friendly phantoms if it hits

Black Crystal Soul Spear (also Black Crystal Bombs for non-Int builds).
>>
>>161469438
I did, also figured out im getting less then 10 frames.
>>
>>161469838
lmao
well, nothing you can do about it then.
Hope you have learned a lesson now, laptops are for work and study. Build a PC to play games.
>>
>>161468792
spell that lets you drop a landmine/bomb that appears as a item and explodes when picked up.
>>
>>161468792
Spell that gives me friends
>>
>>161469884
that would be cool.

could work as an usable item too. You drop it like a prism stone, but the other players see as a random kind of item that you can pickup

What about you guys?

My favorite souls game is DaS2

People will unironically assume I must be shitposting for saying something like this

My favorite souls game is dark souls 1
My least favorite is dark souls 3

>>161470651
I'm playing through DS2 at the moment for the first time and I'm really enjoying it except for the whole soul memory thing.

If it didn't have SM I feel like it would be a lot more popular, 3 is my favorite but maybe that will change once I finish 2, who knows.
>>
>>161470580
Favorite is Bloodborne
Lease favorite is DeS
Haven't played the Dark trilogy
>>
>>161469307
Dead again as of now is fucking shit. I'd be okay if they buffed Dead Again.
>>
>>161470580
My favorite game is shitposting on /dsg/
My least favorite game is when people don't make a new thread and then complain when Luci makes it
>>
>>161470738
Yeah, I agree, it's the one big stinker feature. It wouldn't even be that bad if it only counted souls spent, not earned. Or in an even more ideal world than that one, souls spent only on levels/equipment upgrades.
>>
>>161470798
Why does Memezaki hate Dark magic even though they were technically introduced in DaS1, not 2?

I am having difficulty using the Crow Quills in pvp.

Seems like I'm always either out ranged or they just hyper armor through my shit and wreck me.

Does anyone have any tips?
>>
Wow a lot of you really do hate dak souls 3?
Why?
>>
>>161471312
I usually just press R1 an win

>>161471315
They are memes
>>
>>161471315
it's a short corridor
you can only advance in one direction only
this kills the souls
>>
>>161471312
I'm learning too, wanna duel?
>>
>>161470963
Miyazaki hates casters in general. That's why when he was given free reign with Bloodborne he got rid of casting altogether. If you want to place blame on somebody in particular, blame Tanimura who was in charge of balancing pvp.
>>
>Make the Soul of Cinder's badass sword
>It's not even good
God damn it
>>
>>161471690
>it has the bastard sword moveset
Don't tell me you don't rike it
>>
>>161469838
Decrease resolution.
That helps a lot.
>>
>>161471682
Miyazaki hates anything that isn't light fast weapons and light armor.
Souls games are good in spite of him, not because of him.
>>
>>161472065
So he's like a japanese George Lucas?
>>
>>161472065
He unironically likes fists and bigger weapons.
It's like if carthus was your favorite and you'd nerf it endlessly so it's only yours

imagine this

dark souls

but instead of just picking your souls up from where you died, you have to kill the enemy that killed you to get them back because he absorbed them
>>
>>161472174
So Bloodborne? Or Salt and Sanctuary?
>>
>>161472174
I can't tell if you're memeing but that's literally what Bloodborne does.

Is wolf curved sword any good in pvp

Love the moveset
>>
>>161472065
nah, he likes fists. he makes it hard to play with those because he's no a fucking scrublord like you, lmoa
seriously though http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/hands-of-god
>>
>>161472727
its best use is as a back warmer for dual weapon buffbuilds. it might fare well for hyperarmor abusers with an r1-wa but cant say for sure. only one way to find out
>>
>>161472976
>only one way to find out
Alright then
I'm contacting scottjund and asking him to make an analysis of it
