Anyone got a high quality phone background of the Hunter's Mark?

Also to respond about BB's quality :
Sony poured money and dev time into BB because they couldn't have their killer app game be an unfinished janky mess. The involvement of Japan Studio in BB's development also likely played a non-insignificant role to BB being amazing.

But if it was Bamco's fault alone, DeS would be properly finished. Sony/Fatlus gave no fucks then but thankfully they do now.

At Scott-King Jundifer :
The 6th Archstone is flat out unfinished. You can say it was cut but the intro cutscene alludes that it's a part of the game but it's not.

And even in it's unfinished state Demon Ruins / Lost Izalith is a fully functional set of levels and in my personal opinion on par with Stonefang Tunnel (that's not saying either was good lol).

Avaa has tricky times for dodging, but once you get the timing is easy. I had to kill it quite early to get a weapon from the DLC and I basically couldn't get hit.

I also looked around online, but all the info I could find was for xbox or playstation controllers. Does anyone here know how to get a 3rd party controller working for DaS 3?

Is there a tiered rolling system based on equipment load in Dark Souls 3, the same way as Dark Souls 1?

Is it basically stupid to go above 25% equip load or whatever arbitrary value it is?
Because I like to wear knight armor but if this game is true to Souls tradition that is probably a stupid idea [again]

>Gets damaged
>Still counts as a successful parry anyway
Was "half-parrying" the worst design choice of the entire Souls franchise? It ruins player versus player interaction. Why should he get a fully successful parry if the game consciously recognizes that his parry was so late that he takes damage from the attack?

If that was the dumbest design choice then the second dumbest design choice was definitely the hornet ring.

>>164140339
Souls is picky about that shit for some reason. I went through hell making these games recognize my DS4, which really pisses me off because Sony promised official drivers but ended up releasing a shitty little USB thing that you can purchase.

What program are you using to manage the controller? If none then your computer is probably recognizing it as some flavor of Xbox controller and you might need to find a program that will be compatible with Souls. Does this controller work with the previous games?

>>164140458
DS3 tiers are 0-29 and 30-69

Same exact roll animation with identical iframes

Fast roll covers a lot more distance

Mid roll is a lot shorter and has poise frames towards the end of the roll, to avoid rollcatches

>>164140578

That's just lag. Or in the case of DaS3 it might as well be a game mechanic because of how often it happens in PvE...

>>164140793
It did, but I believe I needed some sort of "fix" to make it work for them too. I am currently not using any 3rd party programs to manage it, most games I play recognize it and I can configure the controls in the options. Are there any programs or fix files you could recommend?

>>164140341
>>164139963
DaS2 is good if you loved Armored Core

If I want a melee game that allows practical dual wielding, a huge quantity of similar weapons to tweak and customize with, more emphasis put on equipment, strategy, and build rather than stats or reaction time, DS2 is the way to go. It's not as good as DS1 or DS3 but DS2 does those things best.

I use InputMapper for my DS4, I have no idea if it will work with your controller but it's probably worth a shot.

>>164141714
Offensive miracles suck now but lightning infusion is a good option.

do we have a discord?

>>164141714

With faith, you get the best damage type (lighting infused weapons) and the worst offensive spells. But you get the best buffs, too.

Lightning is purchasable after one of the first bosses, but it's not very strong and has only a few casts.

Biggest advantage to a faith build is that you get lots of healing miracles early on, whereas other players are limited to the number of estus shards / lifegems they have.

Really the best benefit is just having high lightning damage/scaling because half the bosses in the game are weak to it in some form or another.

>>164142117

The Stray Demon is MURDERING me.

I'm going with the crest shield, dark knight's sword and pretty much naked.

Being able to remain at its back and all, but a slight mistake and I'm dead.

Anything I might be missing?

>>164142469
Are you getting caught by the shitty AOE even when you're behind him?

It's easy to get the demon in a cycle of butt pounding and frontal aoe smashes, the only annoying part is the aoe includes a small area behind him to further limit your attack window.

>>164142469

If you're dying in one hit you probably:

1. didn't level up vit
2. have low defence
3. are getting hit in your instability frames

>>164142469
>pretty much naked

why do people still do this

If he's 1-2 hit killing you you need armor. Go grab havel's ring.

don't use any R2s on the black knight sword

>>164142673

What actually gets me killed is when he jumps up and turns around to hit me. Dodging it is being a little difficult, and when I manage, getting behind him again is the trouble.

The fight ends up taking long and I eventually make a mistake.

Does sunlight spear in DaS1 have a nice payoff of being really good for amount of investment you need to make to actually use it?

>>164142138

Thanks. Guess I can't play my desired build of chucking lightning bolts. Is that viable in DS1 or 3?

There's 2 weapons that chuck lightning bolts. Both are good.

There are also a few AoE lightning spells (heavenly thunder) that are worth it.

Lightning is still powerful but it's just not as good as great heavy soul arrow / fire orb.

How did this get past testing? It's fucking retarded how I can't just run an area and kill its boss in one go, I have to go back to the bonfire like a little bitch because my weapon is nearly broken and then I have to speedrun the area so it doesn't break again. I don't mind weapons being less durable, it was definitely too little of a concern in DS1, but they went ridiculously overboard in DS2. I haven't played DS3 yet, did they finally get it right there?

Is DaS2 SOTFS decent on steam without mods or do I need something like DSfix to make it playable? Just got the PC version on the sale.

>>164143560
Let's be honest here. People who play this game but still hate it will still get their money's worth playing it for hours. That doesn't mean the content doesn't suck massive ass but what are the alternatives? After playing Souls games, everything else seems mediocre.

Question to all the people who bought DS3 DLC:
General consensus is that's too short for it's price, how much would you say it's worth it?
I'll probably get it eventually, but not for the current price.

>>164143468
DS3 is back to the same as DS1, durability is a total non-issue unless you're getting hit with something like corrosive mist.

They did improve a lot of the way durability works as DS2 was patched/re-released though. It still seems a little excessive at times, but it's nothing like the original version where a bug related to having 60 fps made your shit break twice as fast.

>>164143795
PC Scholar is fine on its own. Any graphical mods will be detected as cheating and will ban you.

>>164141539
Ds3 is pretty good for tanking except for bosses. Use any weapon with perseverance and bust through any amount of mobs. Greatshields are also great in terms of defense, offense, and reflection.

>>164143930
>Any graphical mods will be detected as cheating and will ban you.
Yay, what fun...

>>164143795
it is the best optimized port in the entire series.

My laptop barely can run DaS1 at 15 FPS even with the fix, but SOTFS runs at 30 on high settings.

>>164143824

$5-$10. $15 is way too much unless you're getting the season pass for that price or $20. My main problem with the DLC is the pacing is terrible, it just begins and meanders about without a sense of definitive progression and ends abruptly after a bossfight that's such a spectacle I would almost call it overproduced. I didn't feel like anything was solved or concluded by the end because nothing changes and the main plot thread is left with such a big teaser for the next DLC I was just left unsatisfied.

>>164144012
>complaining about graphics
Like a good PCfat

>>164143824
I don't understand the length complaints, it felt about the same as DS1 dlc in length. However there is a lot to be said about it only having two bosses, even if one of them is probably the best in the whole game.

They fucked up with Gravetender though, it's so mediocre in execution and that's just an extremely shitty deal when there's only two bosses in the whole thing.

>>164144023
>>164143930
Is there any more information on bans anyway? Is it an account ban or a character ban? I presume there is a way to spawn items without being banned, correct? I don't really want to farm up all the unique, one-time-spawn armor sets again.

I assume adding an item directly into my inventory will get me banned right quick. Can I just drop a random item and use cheat engine to change what the item is and then pick it pack up or is that purely a DaS3 thing?

>>164143468
ds3 weapons have ds1 durability with ds2 bonfire restoration, your shit never ever breaks

I'm somewhat new to DS2, but I sort of understand soul memory. Would I be severely gimping myself by attempting to get the all sorceries, miracles, and hexes achievements? Should I consider that character dead to the world, and co-op and pvp?

>>164144389
No, especially because you could just throw on the agape ring and remain frozen wherever you wanted to be at in soul memory.

>>164143824
It has the 5th best boss in the series and is about the same length as AotA.
They spent too much time on the PvP arena. Would have preferred it if on the icy floor there was a giant barbarian/giant crab/Witch Tree boss.

>>164144306
Item dropping is fine, it won't ban you as long as it's not key items or boss souls. As long as a player can drop it or you can pick it up in the world, it's fine.

>>164144306

I don't think anyone knows how they work. I've edited my SM/name and used various mods but I'm still not banned after 1000+ hours.

>>164144306
>>164144673

if you get softbanned then your account is flagged so that the matchmaking servers only pair you with other softbanned players. you might think you're ok because you can see summon signs or get invaded, but those are other softbanned players

>>164144931

No one is cheating though. I'm getting people who are clearly on their first playthrough. Wearing stuff like Veng-Leic mail and Greatsword.

>>164143468
Did you play before the 60fps durability glitch was patched?

If so, how the fuck is your weapon breaking before the boss? I don't think I've ever seen durability drop below half in all my playing of DS2 unless I was deliberately trying to break a weapon (or using a special durability consuming weapon, which DS1 already had issues with). Third dragon ring is probably the only thing that can be broken throughout normal gameplay, unless you're spamming twinblades.

There's also bracing knuckle ring, repair spells, and just using a different weapon until you get to the boss...

If anything DS2 didn't go far enough with durability.

You're not supposed to give a shit about SM. By design the more you play the larger the player pool becomes, making it more likely to find opponents. People complained because they got matched with experienced players when trying to grief new players(so called twinking).

From reading your description it almost looks like you are defending the weapons having little durablity.
I will never get people who hate having to repair their stuff.
I use low durability weapons and sometimes I find myself having to use a repair powder during the boss fight, which adds a fair challenge because you have to find an opening to repair your weapon. And I like it, no I love it.

>After playing Souls games, everything else seems mediocre.

More like "no other games autistically pander to me and now I can't

In terms of atmosphere and player experience, A lot of 90s-2000s Japanese console RPGs play like dark souls.

In terms of mechanics, Legend of Zelda, Armored Core, Devil May Cry, Shovel Knight, and the 3D Tales series all have similar combat/customization, with AC probably being the closest game in existence to Dark Souls if you look purely at the mechanics.

They're just never "dark fantasy" and they're not PC/2016/AAA titles. Dark Souls is a throwback series built on the best parts of PS2-era gaming. It just happens to have been done well enough to survive in 2016.

>>164146181
Part of me actually wants DS3 to get to that point where there's a smaller group of people playing it but they're very dedicated people who actually got gud.

I literally only invade now at various SL's and WL's in the game, that's all I do. I even started doing some blueberry "invasions" (idk wtf you'd call them for blues when you get summoned to help people) and even the other invaders are often bad players who I take a huge disappointing shit on, I thought I'd actually get good competition since blues have a reputation of being shitters but nope.

It's a pretty great feeling when you take out a 1v3 +resummons and blues all by yourself though, I love the feeling that you can run away if you need to and use the mobs in the level to your advantage, you can use the obscuring ring and stalk people, you can ambush people and do guerilla tactics, etc. You can make as OP of a build as you want since you're often going to be fighting against gankers. I'll only stop playing it if I literally can't get invasions anymore, like i have to wait an hour just to get 1 invasion or some bullshit. Even when I move on to For Honor I'll still do invasions while it's possible.

>>164146490

What happens when the host and phantoms are all shitters with seed? I think I'll only invade with in a goal in mind that I'm there to waste their resources unless I find an opportunity to kill the host or I'll BC if they keep forcing a stupid game of attrition and cat-mouse plus the resummoning.

>>164147438
you can invade and make mischief like >>164147446 said. but im inclined to think that's also a waste of time if you spend over 10 minutes trying to whack a prepared host

>>164147446

You answered your own question. That said, my general rule of thumb is I'll deal with ganks or seeds, but never both. The nice thing about invading at low-mid levels is that seeds are actually quite rarely used so simply leaving when you run into them won't actually affect your play time by much.

If it's like, a lone host or a 2v1 and they wanna fight by the bonfire and they have seed I'm usually cool with that though. Even 3v1's in all honesty. The shit I generally won't put up with is a host that seeds and just runs around the level forever or really really good summoner class hosts that also just run away forever but use that to summon a million phantoms with way of the blue on too.

Anyone want to do the second part of Drangleic castle with me? Around 5.5mil SL, SotFS

BC can't be the only solution. I never had to resort to BC and if I die, then so be it. It's just that if I do end up dying I have to run back to get my souls and I end up doing that more often because there's way too much bullshit you have to put up with when invading. You ever go back to the only nearby restaurant that they changed the rules and now you can only eat a certain way and with a dress code. You wait there for a long time and only to find out the food you paid for is crap, the guy who's serving you may say you fuck off and eat elsewhere? Both customer service and the food is shit just like the quality of invasions. You either go tryhard or die for the sake of the host's entertainment.

*attempted survival horror

Dark Souls 2 is intended to be played in large, explorable areas with lots of torch-heavy sections where you have to compromise your shield/2H weapon to use a torch. Durability is a concern because you're supposed to be hunting for the bonfire.

But it's really obvious that most of their choices were trying to evoke a more survival horror feeling.

Half of the levels in the game have some survival/torch mechanic to make the game feel claustrophobic:
>Things Betwixt Sconces and invader
>Majula Mansion and Pit
>Forest of the Fallen Giant's Skeleton Room and Crystal Lizard room
>No-Man's Wharf's Darkstalkers and sconces
>lost bastille's flammable barrels
>Sinner's Rise's oil and waist-deep water
>Huntsman's Copse's caves, abandoned building, and fixed aggro distance
>Harvest Valley's poison fog
>Earthen Peak's illusory walls, windmill
>The Pit's everything
>The gutter's entire point is for you to light your way as you go along
>Black Gulch's flammable pools, hidden rooms, and giants
>Shaded wood's fog and invisible phantoms
>Drangleic Castle's statues, soul torch mechanisms, and dark rooms
>Shrine of Amana slow-walk in water
>Undead crypt, an ENTIRE LEVEL BUILT AROUND FORCING YOU TO NOT USE THE TORCH WHEN YOU NEED IT
>Aldia's Keep, with wall-crashing enemies and cages holding monsters, plus the torches for the dragon and Forlorn
>Dark Chasm of Old's entire olympic torch running contest mechanic

Other DS2-specific survival horror shit:
>limited healing ability, making resource management super important
>limited upgrade equipment
>limited farming / world permanence (eventually enemies stop respawning, and killing multiple times lowers drop rates)
>universal exploration items (pharros lockstone, fragrant branch)
>enemies that crash through walls
>pursuer stalking the player nemesis-style

Oceiros is not a cinematic boss. He poses a legitimate challenge on top of having voice lines, as do the twin princes.

This has probably been asked a hundred times already but I just don't know what to do. Back when ds3 cam out it ran on my pc decently enough with consistent 50-54 fps. I recently went back to play it again and it barely gives me 17 fps. I'm using a gtx 960 and I have more than enough ram. I know people who can run the game on max settings with worse computers than mine and I've tried messing with all nvidia settings repeatedly and installing and uninstalling drivers. I'm all out of ideas at this point.

Based retardbro.

>>164152517
You assume that the resources within the studio are all interchangeable which is not the case. And the invading and co-op makes the single player have more longevity because you play through the pve a couple of times and there's not a huge amount of point in making buolds and going through the pve a million times just for the PvE, the thrill of an unexpected invasion should keep one on their toes.

In addition to that co-oping with dumb hosts is an adventure of it's own.

>limited healing ability

If they did have limited healing and didn't half ass the torch mechanic as much (Pits and No Mans Wharf were like the two places who did this great), than the survival horror aspect would connect a lot more.

Still the rest is good points. I'd rather durability be toned down concerning walls/dead bodies (I'm not sure if they fixed this?) but I like it in the game if purely because they can do shit like that acid basilisk pit trap, where you get that interesting interaction of avoiding the gas but sundering your armor so their little lizard attacks hurt more.

It genuinely should've been removed in current state DS3 lol, where basically all it does is point out a part of the game that was brainlessly copy pasted.

>>164155394
Maybe it's because how much their attacks auto-track, forcing you to time your rolls to "dodge" using iframes instead of careful positioning where you can easily get away from its attacks with one roll, like previous games.

>>164154453
I really like the look of the Ethereal Oak Shield from the DLC, and the shield the pursuer carried around in DaS2

Pontiff is bullshit because of how he delays his attacks + the massive range

Champ is infuriating because the second he goes into his serious mode there's no time to heal so every hit is super punishing.

>>164155968
when I first played DSII I ran to Heides tower of flame, killed the two bosses and got miracles + undead bone shard

>>164155968
Changes some layouts, adds a few ambushes and curveballs

It will be weird to run through but it is not a dramatically different or better game, beyond the DLC

Some areas, like Heide's Tower and Iron Keep, were made worse imo

>>164155921
I mean, because of the huge hitboxes of their attack and the long combos, you have to keep rolling while staying close to them if you're not a caster, because if you get too far away you'll miss the openings.
Meanwhile in previous games, you could get behind them after dodging and it was usually safe. But DS3 bosses have many attacks where they turn 180 while attacking.

>>164155968
>Why do people act like SOTFS is a completely different game from II and a much better one?

Because it is. There's big stuff like more phantoms and Aldia and small stuff like the hollow soldiers near giant trees attacking the trees. Some areas improved but some got straight up nasty, I'm really not a fan of SotFS Iron Keep.

uh, but it does a lot
plat ds3 more if you missed it

What went wrong in AoA? The whole area feels odd, different from everything else in the game. Was it done by the same team? It honestly felt more like something from DaSII.

>>164158260
Yeah I'll let you know when I'm close

>>164158424
Aside from retarded fanfiction ("Aldia was a first scholar of great archives" lel) there's only a few throwbacks from DS2 in DS3 and none of them have any significance for DS3's story.

>>164158471
>The whole area feels odd, different from everything else in the game.

That's exactly what Miyazaki said he was going for with AoA.

>>164158581
yeah, just a "few", and nothing mysterious about it even when ds2 was supposed to be happening "after" ds3

>>164158471
>whole area feels odd, different from everything else in the game
That's because it's literally another world dummy.
>It honestly felt more like something from DaSII.
Nah, it reeks from Miyazaki's influence.

>>164158772
I mean it feels different because of the designs and progression.

Let me guess, Vendrick's shield just magically travelled back in time and became so old nobody remembers the name of a king who used it anymore and drang mercenaries ain't the last survivors of that shithole who devolved to the level of mercenaries?

>>164158931

>>164158260
Almost there

>>164158847

Not really, it's a typical Miyazaki's design. Kinda feels like Hunter's Nightmare a little because you basically do one big circle around entire painted world.

>>164159407
>revolves around thrones
Those thrones have nothing to do with DS2, they are just elements of fire linking system, not some shit stolen from giants. Doesn't look like DS2 throne as well.
>Yuria refers to you as a monarch just like the Emerald Herald
Jesus fuck anon, what a wild connection!
I'm starting to think that even "Aldia is the first scholar of great archives" sounds more legit.
>Drang is the reason why everyone outside of Lordran knows that the stories meant to fool undead into linking the flame are bunk
Well they are doing shit job at this apparently because there's like 3 drang mercenaries left by the time of DS3 and one of them became giant's poop.

>>164159407
Yuria also has a katana originating from Drangleic

>>164159334
Because that made a difference in DS1 right?

>>164159310
I'm at "The Tower Apart" in lost bastille

>>164159898
Dark Lord is not a Lord of Hollows. It was probably some failed experiment of Serpents before Kaathe entrusted his final wish to sisters of Londor and DS1's Dark Lord ended like 2+1+1 kings
You also don't absorb the Flame in DS1.

Does the knight slayer ring help at all if I'm using an ultra greatsword vs sword and board? Can't land more than 2 hits before I have to roll away from a backstab or they just roll away before I can guard break.

Well said.

>Jesus fuck anon, what a wild connection!

Using the same word between games is often not insignificant. I know for a fact that that's why you keep bringing up that bit about Aldia.

>Well they are doing shit job at this apparently

I disagree, the Super Lothric Bros. don't seem all too interested in linking the flame since they know what will happen and that's kind of a major plot point.
