lore?

Want to try twinking but don't feel like using the more popular stuff, also want to keep a ninja theme to it for fun, inflicting poison with claws/daggers and then finishing off with Uchi. Do I keep the raw infusion on the uchi or do I go for something else?
How shit is this idea?

>>162224278

The basic movement is one of the biggest differences, your character has momentum and can't pivot. Same with weapons, you can't manually aim your swings like in DaS. Then there are things that are stat/equipment based now instead of skill based: the most important changes are with i-frames and parrying. Level up ADP to get a good roll, parrying is done with parry shield, it's pointless to use anything else.

It is funny how someone getting really interested and excited is so commonly seen as cringey. Not even just in Souls or video games, but in general.
It's also funny how one screencap of one post represents an entire group of people as long as it's convenient for you and reinforces your beliefs.

A guess but I'm assuming they wanted to make a new IP from the beginning, FROM was dragged into making more sequels by Bandai and they want to become independent or never contract them again. BB being funded by Sony turned out to be fresh from groundwork and you can see how much care and effort were put in the designs. The following year, we get DS3 and plenty of complaints from fans that half of the ideas were borrowed from previous titles and assets were directly taken from them and imported to the game. Miyazaki literally said the DLC is only a test dump for new ideas, he's done with the story and he's done with the series. We're not getting any answers and will most likely get something similar to AoA plotwise. You can bet your money we're seeing Lilianne and the rest of the sable church and a ""new"" recycled setting.

>>162224950
>you can't manually aim your swings like in DaS

If you're using a weapon with lots of hyper armor trying to out-trade other hyper weapons is the probably the worst tactic you can use.

Depending on the situation you're better off utilising your moveset or range rather than just blatantly trying to trade. Another solid choice is rolling through all their attacks and baiting them into running out of stamina and punishing like that when they can't roll away.

That would've been better. Bright HUBs aren't Souls-like, it's just too illuminating and relaxing that you forget the world is in a terrible mess. It does give the idea that the HUB is a place to rest but having it dark at night would've been better. The only things that would brighten the place at night would be the bonfire and places where npcs were in. It stands out more and makes you drawn to them, would have been a neat touch if it felt like pic related. Instead, every time we face the monument on the right of the blacksmith house the sun gives your eyes radiation cancer.

Demon's Souls has something called World Tendency. It turns towards white when you do things like kill bosses, and turns towards black when you die in a world in human form, among other things. White tendency makes the game easier, black makes it harder.
People typically go for white tendency, so to prevent a death in a world in human form, they suicide in the Nexus, which doesn't affect world tendency.
World Tendency is actually even more convoluted than this, but that's the basics.

No, he literally typed "barely pivot 45°." That means just more than 45. 90 would have proven him wrong because "barely" is subjective, but it is reasonable to assume "double something" would be more than "barely something."

if you want to keep the poison as pressure, just make it raw for low levels and buff it with some resin. if you care about ticking the poison, you can make the uchi poison and healbuff it with rotten pine

Im replaying dark souls and my pike+4 deals fucking peanuts to enemies.

Does every enemy have high resistance to thrust or what?

>>162237756
are you using the running attack a lot? that's terrible unless you use it to unload buffs. because the attack is split into many instances and each instance is resisted separately, you deal much less damage than you would if you dealt it all at once. same reason split damage is kinda bad

>>162237756
spears have low-ish damage
thats just how it is

>>162237756

The damage of a single attack is low, but your attacks are fast and so they build up damage fast too.

>>162236226
UGS are all about mindgames. Fume Sword, Raw Lost Sinner's Sword (min-max), and Greatsword are all good PvP weapons.

The greatsword is so common that most people can roll-backstab it, but it's still capable of sweeping enemies.

LSS only works at low SM (where min-maxing is worth it) but it has that infinite R1 combo if you back them up against a wall and have enough stamina. Raw LSS gives you a 460 AR weapon at only 31 level investment. If you count the additional 16 points into weight cap you need, greatsword takes 32 points to wield and at that point is doing less damage.

Fume Sword is highly situational and you're probably better off using a parry shield + claymore than relying on it's special attacks for countering.

They become more useless at higher SM because

>>162238294
*They become more useless at higher SM because instead of 2-3 shotting enemies everyone has 2000+ HP and you have to land multiple combos, which is a lot harder to do. Higher SM always favors trading and meta builds.

>>162237756
>>162238142
Thrust attacks get a counter damage bonus, which is one of the reasons why spears are so weak in DS1. You get 20% more damage (68% with leo ring) if you hit an enemy during their windup/attack phase. Try it out.

>>162238442
is there anywhere i can see how much counter each weapon has or is it a flat 20% across the board?

so during my 2nd playthrough of ds1 i messed a lot with the red dragon at the undead burg bridge, trying to chop off its tail and afterwards kill it and noticed some really bullshit things that have no explanation

sometimes the dragon will just relentlessly start comboing flying up and burning the entire bridge, permanently stunning you until death. it won't sit down even for a second, just land and instantly fly up and breath fire again

its fire breath will occasionally just decide to fucking one hit KO you, just entirely random when it does this, can happen during any sort of fire breath move it does. depletes entire health bar instead of doing a little damage that it usually does

you can chop off the dragons tail, have it fly away and when you return the dragon has the tail again.. what? dragon regenerate entire body parts, that's a lore thing now?

the first encounter with the dragon after killing the taurus demon boss, it can decide when to fly and breath fire entirely at random.. either before you walk onto the bridge, when you just exit the door and go near it can fly (lucky first time players that this happens to) and to unlucky players it can for whatever reason wait until you are nearly at the middle part of the bridge to start flying and one shotting players. there is literally no way to trigger it to fly if this happens and only option is to get killed, unless i missed something

>>162239306

Hellkite's damage is usually based on what part of the bridge you're standing on. He does more damage near the stairs. The fight is not hard, all you need to do is run back to the stairs after a few hits, which makes it only tedious. This is why you stand in the secret spot to make the fight faster. After Taurus, Hellkite will come as soon as you step on the bridge and will breathe fire only once. If you're full HP you'll probably survive this.

I got to the first bonfire and killed the first necromancer, but afterwards it's a bit much. Are there any ways to keep the skeletons dead without killing the necromancer?

I am trying not to look online for tips, but this is really annoying me, and I figure asking here isn't as bad as outright searching for the answer

>>162239846
You need a divine weapon. Go to Darkroot Garden and kill the Moonlight Butterfly there.

>>162239712
i don't like how the animation resets almost immediately in 0:02 but in general it looks amazing. what other cut movesets are there (i remember you showed bks and bkh movesets from 1) and how do we get them?

>>162239729
wow, what is that bullshit?

when i was trying to chop the tail i would wait in the middle until it decided to fly down and stand on the bridge, where it is standing in your webm, and while chopping the tail it would start doing what it is doing in your webm, but i would be pinned down and repeatedly fall down until i got toasted to death

>>162239947

I already killed that boss because the upper level of the Catacombs seemed too challenging. Did the moth have a % chance to drop a divine weapon?

>>162239846
you need a divine weapon to stop them. if you have some fai, you can grab the ASS from the valley of drakes. it's not amazing but if you can lasthit them with the ASS, they will stay down. alternatively, you can kick them down a cliff. they'll reassemble, but they wont be able to reach you

>>162239846
for real just force yourself through or figure it out yourself even if it's hard. if you can't rush past the skeletal warriors and find the necromancers, then go out of the catacombs and go to other areas of the game!

>>162240254
No, the Divine Ember at the top of the tower after it would let you make divine weapons.

>>162240287
>>162240321
>>162240350

Thanks for the tips, I will try and craft the divine weapon, then

Does someone want to help me kill dancer?

so I've gotten 5 dark sigils from Yoel and Yuria hasn't shown up

is it because I killed Anri for fashion?

How do I get summoned for co-op in Anor Londo in DaS1? Do most people just summon help because they're too casual for Turner and Hooch, or do they summon at the first bonfire because they're too lazy to even explore the area on their own?

I used the demon's spear in my offhand all the time in DS1

I have a question about the Dark Souls community as a whole. We all know that a lot of people are like "lmao guys this game is so hard prepare to die xD", but I'm wondering how often they actually die.
Let's say you die to a boss 5 times, would you consider that boss hard? How often did you die to O&S, for example?
I'm just asking because I started this series coming off Ys games so I never understood why people think dying a few times is so hardcore

>>162247601
jesus fuck i've heard that SOTFS only made the game worse but this is ridiculous

>tfw no third person shooter souls

>>162247917
it's not that much longer, just past the sentinels. but when you're rushing for a weapon, every bit counts

do they still have that glitch in 2 and 3 where using a boss soul item halfway through an animation will give you the souls but not deplete the item?

I don't know what glitch you are talking about, but 3 has a consumable soul duping glitch, that basically lets you use a boss soul infinitely without wasting the item. It's quite slow to do though

If you look at the ground, you'll notice that DS1 has much more detail than the DS3 cap. Although it might be possible that DS3 is not maxed out.

In the picture DS2 appears to have better quality textures, but overall DS2 textures are of horrible quality.

What does Estus taste like?

>>162252170
Whatever you think it tastes like, it's a videogame.
But it has to taste like shit given how Oscar was dying and he rather croaked than took a sippy of Estus.

>>162252170
Salty bags of milk coins.

Or the taste of smoke in liquid form.

>>162252170
like the quality of the series

>>162252170
Like orange juice

>>162224778
>manually aim your swings like in DaS
depends on what you mean by that
You can turn a bunch but it feels different from ds1, instead of aiming the swing in the direction of the stick, putting the stick to one side or the other sort of just turns rotation in that direction "on" and you'll rotate towards the stick at a speed proportional to how far off your current direction it is. So if I want to turn 90 degrees I'll actually put the stick almost backwards so that it thinks I want to whip around 180, but I'll release it when it's halfway one turning. It's really shitty but you can turn plenty in ds2. If by "manual aim" you meant "actually point your swings in the direction you're aiming though, yeah, ds2 doesn't want to let you do that, and it is kinda shitty feeling.

>>162226834
You can turn a fair bit with crypt BS iirc.

>>162224125
god 3 is such a piece of shit in every aspect

I like the idea of the Estus if you using a helmet with a visor/slits in it, just slam the bottle into your helmet and just drink the drops that make it down through. Real chosen one material.

>>162252170
Like blood and ethanol, but I think I taste ethanol differently from most people.

>>162225273
More importantly, you can't redirect rolling R1 freely in DaS2.
That's why rolling attacks are so harmless in the game.

>>162252106
And if you look at the wall you'll notice a smeary mess. DS1 does have some unreasonably high res textures, for god knows what reason since it only runs at 720p, but it's inconsistent as fuck. Some things looks great, some things look like shit.

>>162252484
If you'll ever do texture mapping you'll start to understand why.

The thing is, SOTFS and Dark Souls III had significantly more memory to use for textures but they barely look any better.

>>162252106
>you'll notice that DS1 has much more detail than the DS3 cap
because it's in an area that contains more details by design retard

I could go outside in real life and compare a mossy tile I'd found in the forest to a clean one off my bathroom floor and tell you the former has more detail, that doesn't mean my bathroom is low quality textures

>>162252446
that's a lie

>>162252631
That's accurate.
Try doing 180 R1. You can't do it without delaying the attack.

>>162252693
>You can't do it without delaying the attack.
So you can do after all by delaying the attack..
Stop being a dipshit.

All we know is that it's warm. I like to think it tastes like my mom's chicken soup, because that reminds me of home. The undead are attracted to estus because they need something that reminds them of the bonfires and where they came from.

>pulling great heal excerpt on arena right in a face of my opponent or setting up warmth just to annoy yet another superpassive WD spamming trash
The only form of fun i remember on DS2's arena.

Opps that didn't go so well for me but I guess you got the boss down.

Dark scales with faith.
Magic and dark damage are the least resisted forms of damage in pvp, dark is usually resisted a bit more because people with supplemental miracles ain't unheard of, but dark infused weapons have higher damage output.

Thanks for the help guys.

Hope you got the boss ping before you vanished Minimus.

>WDs are objectively the safest form of input possible in DS2.
In some honoraburu duel maybe, but if healing or even turtling is involved that out of range spinning you heard about won't do shit.
You know nothing about the game you blindly shit talk erryday around here. Just get off it.

Why does Miyazaki hate Dark so much? Because of (((Frampt)))?

>faith

I dont know why this wasnt an obvious assumption on my part. Thanks chief

>In some honoraburu duel maybe
Are you implying that any other forms of DS2 pvp existed?
>turtling is involved
If turtling is involved you abandon the match altogether because DS2 is such a wonderfully balanced game. Look at any tourneyfaggots and their combat style, it's always WD shitfest on top of a WD shitfest, the only thing that changed in ds2's meta over the years was quick attacks which is just a more efficient way of pulling WDs.

Patches squat on the corpse or clapping while walking in circles over them.

>have to update my graphics drivers to play new releases of games
>but updating my drivers makes me unable to play Dark Souls 3
Fuck Nvidia. What are they even doing? Why do I have to run drivers from 2013 to be able to play DaS3? That doesn't make any sense.

>watches tournaments with arbitrary rules

When it comes to playing 'dirty' DaS2 is BY FAR the most balanced game in the series.
Can't count the times were not bowing was anwered with actually unpunishable darkmoons grass/blessings/estus.

in DS2 you delay the R1 on the rolling attack in order to fully aim it
get gud

>>162256081
>invasions
What? Those don't exist in DS2.
>When it comes to playing 'dirty' DaS2 is BY FAR the most balanced game in the series.
Oh yes. Can't use any switches which allows host to lock me from reaching him, can't go through enemies and some of them cannot be moved like mummies in Bastille, can't use majority of elevators, need to farm orbs simply to invade. It was so wonderfully balanced for the host that random invasions died out completely in a month after release.

>>162256234
Why would you ever fall for delayed R1?

>>162254430
it should be higher considering it's used as a counter read against parries

Just started playing Dark Souls 3, why would they make it so you can't level up at bonfires, but only back at firelink? Feels silly that i have to go back and forth like an idiot. Does it get better?

>>162253348

ever heard of Erio-chan? No? good, you don't know true suffering

>>162256005
I can play it just fine with modern drivers

>>162256005
More like fuck From shitware. The pc port of DS3 is absolute garbage and I think at this point it might be intentional since the only game to not run like shit on PCs that fulfilled the system requirements was Dark Souls 2 which also happens to be the only game without Memezacki's involvement.

>>162256316
>Does it get better?
the bonfire leveling? No, you always have to do that. The only reason DS1 didn't have a levelup waifu is because it was a last minute change or something, Miyazaki doesn't seem to understand that people actually preferred not having one.

>>162256005
Probably because your shit ass GPU is also from 2013. Consider upgrading, literally nobody else has your problem.

firelink is much more interactive and it's easier to miss events if you don't visit often.
>does it get better?
search your feelings. you know the answer

>>162256296
if you get the timing down it's like less then half a second delay mate, wait too long and you won't do the rolling attack

>>162256434
>miss events
the only one I can think of that you could "miss" and be unable to partake in after some amount of time would be Yoel, who was as much a mistake as the level up waifu as he just kills your motivation to not die. Any other NPC in firelink can be talked to whenever.

>>162256316
Stop relying so much on leveling up, you shouldn't be doing it too often.
Put the game on SSD and the load times become low enough so this shouldn't be a problem.

>>162256547
Yes but why would you even try? No decent player is going to get hit by that. That's why it's pointless even though it technically exists.

>>162256652
>Stop relying so much on leveling up, you shouldn't be doing it too often.
what did he mean by this?
