It adds more priorities and customization to the game. Maybe some people won't bother upgrading their armor, maybe some people will bother upgrading their armor early and be tankier as a result.

It would also mean you can't just put on whichever armor to put you at 69.9% equip load to minmax whenever you switch out weapons, meaning you have to stick to one trusty suit (or however many you upgrade) more.

Also it would allow them to make armors more powerful because they now require actual investment to reach full power. It is a common complaint that armor is way too weak in DS3 and it'd be a nice way to balance out that issue at the same time

>>165049653
But that's a form of customization. You could upgrade a suit of armor or you could upgrade 4 other weapons.

Maybe you think it's more important to have a +10 falchion, +10 zweihander and a +10 buckler. So you upgrade those instead of just the zweihander and a set of knight armor.

Then there's some armors that are pretty good unupgraded, just like there's weapons that work better at low upgrade levels than others.

If I upgrade a claymore, a longsword and battle axe my experience will have far more variety and gameplay choices than the guy who upgraded only one sword and two armor sets(and armor has 4 slots, making it consume more titanite).
At high SLs (anything past 70) it'd be completely irrelevant to players besides being a bigger time sink without letting them spend time pvping or cooping.
At lower SLs, weapon upgrades have always been more relevant and assuming the amount of titanite you get was increased, you'd still always go weapons > armor.
And it'd not add tankyness either, but reduce it. Current armor is at full power, full black iron defenses that you get now would remain unchanged and what you get at maxed and the +0-+4 versions would be weaker.
Armor is weak in 3 to promote less minmaxing(and if you minmax armor you still get 1-2 more hits from anything up to Halberds) which is something I find good and I see less sunset/dragonslayer combos than I see family masks and anus helms at every SL

>>165050257

>If I upgrade a claymore, a longsword and battle axe my experience will have far more variety and gameplay choices than the guy who upgraded only one sword and two armor sets(and armor has 4 slots, making it consume more titanite).
Correct, but you'll also be wearing worse armor. It adds a choice you can make and getting to make choices is generally pretty cool.

>At high SLs (anything past 70) it'd be completely irrelevant to players besides being a bigger time sink without letting them spend time pvping or cooping.
Farming mats to upgrade anything is a timesink, not just armor. That's not an argument.

>At lower SLs, weapon upgrades have always been more relevant and assuming the amount of titanite you get was increased, you'd still always go weapons > armor.
Sure I guess, but it adds a choice to upgrade armor if you already know you're going to use it and you don't want to upgrade any more weapons.
So if your weapon is at like +6 or whatever and you're out of large tits, you could start upgrading your armor with small titanite. Or you could start upgrading another weapon you might like.
It adds a choice.

>And it'd not add tankyness either, but reduce it. Current armor is at full power, full black iron defenses that you get now would remain unchanged and what you get at maxed and the +0-+4 versions would be weaker.
That's the point. There'd be incentive to actually upgrade armor if you want defense. That way you can't just slap on the heaviest armor in your inventory right now and get optimal defense, just like it was in the previous games.

>Armor is weak in 3 to promote less minmaxing
Exact opposite
Armor is weak in 3 to encourage minmaxing because now vitality is a near useless stat that you can basically ignore. Adding another dump stat that non-minmaxing players will definitely level (cause for an example, they want to wear full gundyrs because they think it's cool) means that minmaxers get a much bigger advantage.

SL 120 would be a good level to boss invade all bosses, right?

Eh... poise values usually deal with just tanking through a single R1 of a weapon, not 2 or 3 people swinging on you at once. Perseverance effectively gives you infinite poise though, you could have 4 people swinging on you with ultra weapons and still not stagger. It's to the point where I don't even think I should bother poisestacking with the mace anymore, just get decent defensive stats since most of the time I'm just abusing perseverance to trade with gank squads. It also gives you a huge absorption boost.

I think armor and weapons should have upgrade trees and you could select an upgrade tree that would improve mobility / physical protection / elemental protection and for example if you chose to increase physical protection it would put more weight on the armor and impact stamina management. Similarly upgrading mobility would shave off some weight but impact protection values.

I also think durability should come back in the DS1 / BB style, but durability damage and repair cost should go up the more the armor is upgraded so getting your shit broken in the higher tiers would be more of a problem than in the earlygame and repairs of upgraded weapons / armor should also cost standard titanite equivalent instead of just souls and more per the upgrade level of the weapon / armor starting from +3 upwards or something.

Except it's a bad choice since upgrading weapons in the other games always is better than armor. The only exceptions are PvP players who either twink and don't worry about limited titanite or who fight at high SLs where you have plenty of titanite.
Farming for armor and weapons adds a significant time sink since you can no longer farm slabs and would need at least 4, assuming you neber changed armor.
It adds no choice since the way DaS 3 works is: you always get an infinite supply of a select titanite shortly after you start being able to find scraps of the next level.
You'd +6 a weapon and then every single piece you'd want to use could be +3 since small shards are endless once you start finding large.

But I will, if I'm dedicatting myself to it, my +0 armor with +6 weapons will always be better than +4 weapons with +4 armor, it's only an advantage to get armor upgraded if you can no longer upgrade weapons. Havel's can't even be upgraded in 1.

Survivability in 3 is something you don't need to minmax for. Vig's returns are greater than ever, 27 at lower and 36 at higher SLs fit any build and have far more players naturally going for them, you hardly find players anywhere with less than 1k HP except for gimmick builds. Make armor matter and everyone starts dressing the same

>>165050962
>or you could just remove armor upgrades and let the players upgrade weapons they want without leaving them underpowered
Yeah, you could just remove the choice in the matter. Correct. Literally what I just explained, though.
>having to farm mats for armor and weapons is a 5 times bigger timesink than farming just for weapons, stop being retarded
No, it's not. Farming for 4 weapons takes as long as farming for a suit of armor.
>i'm not going to read the rest
Thanks, you weren't making any arguments anyways

>>165051058
Yeah I guess they could overhaul the concept entirely. Especially in DS3 where rolling is so stupid strong they could've done a lot more with armor to have some sort of impact.
They did kind of fuck up durability. I hated the DS2 system but the DS1 system was completely fine and actually mattered sometimes. DS3 has no reason to even have durability. The only reason it's still in is because of that one spell that destroys it.

>Except it's a bad choice since upgrading weapons in the other games always is better than armor.
It's literally what I just said though. It forces you to make a choice between armor and weapons. Most people are going to upgrade weapons, then armor. You can do the opposite though and it makes for an interesting build.

>Farming for armor and weapons adds a significant time sink since you can no longer farm slabs and would need at least 4
Limited slabs was a mistake anyways. Even then, assuming armor upgrading was in there would be roughly 4x more slabs in each playthrough.
Or maybe just don't make armors consume slabs. Don't be so damn static when it comes to game design, there is no reason they can't adjust things like this, just like they were perfectly balanced out in previous games.

>It adds no choice since the way DaS 3 works is: you always get an infinite supply of a select titanite shortly after you start being able to find scraps of the next level.
That's not really true. By the time you got some large titanite, regular titanite still isn't being thrown after you. Only by the time you start gettign chunks you suddenly get showered in titanite.

>You'd +6 a weapon and then every single piece you'd want to use could be +3
Again, chunks. Titanite is still limited before chunks.
Or you could upgrade another weapon or a shield to +3 (or so) instead of your armor.

>But I will, if I'm dedicatting myself to it, my +0 armor with +6 weapons will always be better than +4 weapons with +4 armor,
That's not a direct comparison you can make. It depends on your build. Many builds would be better with some good defenses ontop of their +4 weapon than just a +6 weapon, especially if armor actually mattered.

>Survivability in 3 is something you don't need to minmax for.
Except you're doing it right now. No vit and leveling vigor instead is quite literally what minmaxing refers to. Min vit, max vigor.

They have a new Soulsborne i.p coming up and I really hope they will take the chance to overhaul some systems that they didn't manage to flesh out enough in the current games.

Armor needs a big overhaul and should have more considerations than just light / medium / heavy and different damage types should vary accordingly.

For example, metal armor should naturally have very good protection against slashing, but less so against piercing and especially blunt, but weak to lightning as an element.

If you would go and upgrade the metal armor's physical properties, the physical protections get better, but the elemental resistances get weakened and the armor will weigh more. Or you can go and upgrade the elemental protections but it will have the effect of the physical elements being weakened.

Weapons need an overhaul too. I think that when it comes to damage against armor, I think that the bonus damage of weapons against a certain type of armor should come from the weapon's scaling, so for example a hammer with good scaling in strength would mean that the amount of extra damage it does against armor that's weak to blunt damage depends on the scaling stats instead of the weapon itself doing innate horrid amounts of damage against the armor with just the base stats to wield it.

So for example a scimitar with an A/S scaling in DEX will rend light armors apart with the slashing type of damage, but only if the wielder has enough dex to properly make the slashing damage scale, otherwise it will be slightly better against light armors than say, a longsword, but not that much.

Infusions should also matter by damage type, so for example heavy infusion would have a more pronounced effect on the blunt damage on the weapon, but increase the weight and the stamina cost of the weapon.

Sharp would increase the slashing damage / bleed effect but make the durability distinctively lower.

>>165051998
At what level do you leave your weapons for this?

It makes an inferior build. It's not tanky or anything, armor upgrades at best cut off 1-2 hits while forcing you to use 1-2 more attacks to kill, almost always a downgrade.

Armor upgrades used slabs before, you know quite well that'd be the case. It's a big reason why twinkling/unupgradable armor was so much more popular.

You get your first few large shards by farron/cotd, by when you can buy infinite shards. You get your chunks by anor londo/dungeon, when you unlock infinite large ones to buy. You get infinite chunks around when you find your first slabs.

Not really, it's one of the reasons you don't find non twinks woth upgraded armor, it's just inferior to weapons

I'm not going max vig though, 27 early vig and 35 late are usable and something even non minmaxed builds get, I have 10 vit points so I can fashion how I want and still have enough vig. You need to go out of your way to fuck up survivability in 3

Ring is sold by Straid.

Level stops are usually 150, 200, or 250 for pvp, which corresponds to about 3m, 5m, and 9m soul memory.

Co-op has no level stop because people always collect souls from bosses.

>>165056079
I did wait around for a few mins to see if any signs other than phantoms showed but they didnt.

>>165056145
Then ask for help here or in the Steam forums.

Summon NPCs then. They make bosses pretty easy since they can always tank one cat with their massive health pools.

>>165056145
SL/SM SotFS?

>>165055469
DS2 has softcaps at 50 and 60 for most stats. To do a 60/60 quality (or infused) build and still have decent health/stamina/defense you need around 250 SL.

>>165056420
It's 40 and 50, and then 80, not 60.

Why do they insist on making the crows so fucking annoying?

>>165056006
Lud and zallen are "weak" to fire because it's their lowest resistance, but all DLC bosses have >400 elemental resistances in all 4 categories. You need flame weapon to at least keep up with physical damage weapons.

You're better off staying pure physical for Lud and Zallen.

>>165056098
>it's known that mouse controls are trash
What? The only mouse control here is moving the camera, and it's the exast same as any other game.

>>165057003
I've been moving the camera with my mouse for 2 souls games, thanks. I honestly don't see your problem.

>>165056743
I only have DS1 but I want to play DS2 badly before I finish 1 because I love the enemy design from watching LPs.

I cant take this rng drop rate shit any more its like i am playing a korean mmo, should i use the 100% drop rate online or offline? if its supposedly undetectable then online would be the safe way right?

>>165057592
No you don't

>>165056494
>>165056420
>>165055469

The only softcaps (for attack) are at 40 and 80. Everywhere else you either keep gaining the same, or more, by leveling up.

For high level pvp, the minimum SL recommended is 155 SL.
>50 vig
>40 end
>14 vit (Flynn's)
>16 attunement (3 slots minimum)
>15 str/dex/int/fth (for defense and equipment)
>28 Adpt (105 agility)

SL 150 requires you to lose something important in order to use a weapon or spell type.
SL 200 lets you pick only one weapon or spell type, and focus around that, or 2 types (hexes, infusion, etc.) and lose something else.
SL 250 lets you pick 2 weapon or spell types, and focus around that without sacrificing anything.

It gets silly around SL 300+ because then you can run at full 50/50 on a quality weapon, and still have top tier spells availalbe without sacrificing anything.

>>165056743
I do. Just yesterday i got constant summons on arena and it weren't giving me same opponents over and over. And when i used CREO i invaded instantly.

Most Hollow/Luck/Bleed weapons require only dex, in which case Thief is the optimal class. If you also need Str I think Warrior is the best.

Hey /dsg/. I was messing around with graphics and ENBs in dark souls 2 and suddenly everything is so dark even after I uninstalled and reinstalled. Tried it a couple times too. Here's an example, pic related.

can you help me figure out what happened? I'm playing SOFTS if that helps, I thought buying it would fix the issue.

>>165060336
T-thanks, i played with it a bit but now i came back and wanted a bleeding build since it looks more satisfying for pve.
It also seems that now the bug to kill dancer early doesn't work right? if so i am glad i kept my low lvl dancer cosplaying invasion character.

>>165060557

>>165062872
A corruption of the dark, probably. Kinda like chaos is a corruption of light/flame.

Starting to think that this game is slightly imbalanced towards invaders.

I mean, the moment you invade someone, they have two phantoms trailing on them, what's the point?

>>165062872
Another vague term to make people think the lore is deep.

>>165060458
When vanilla surges you know that these are people who never would have bought the game without the sale.

You'd have to ask Memezaki, since it's one of those things that is never explained at all. It's either the abyss, or a form of the abyss, or something entirely unrelated to the abyss. Pick the one you like and upload your lore analysis to youtube.

The question you should be asking is: is Dark Souls simply a twisted layer of the Dreamscape, or is Bloodborne just an age of extra-corrupted Dark, where Pontiff/Aldrich have ascended and became Oedon, while their miscreations evolved and became other Great Ones? Keep in mind that Aldrich canonically has direct powers over dreams.

I like how there is literally nothing you can do about divine blessing spammers in DS1.

>>165069493

>>165069493
I've never actually used a divine blessing before, what's different about it compared to popping a humanity or chugging?

Killing more than 3 phantoms in a single session while having 1-2 phantoms of your own should flag to the Dorkmoons that said group is practicing entrapment and since that shit don't fly they get spam invaded by 4-5 Darkmoons (Never hostile to enemies, hostile to all non-Darkmoon phantoms)

The Darkmoon gets a concord for every enemy phantom and 2 concords for getting a host.

It doesn't even look that good or animate that well, but the fact that a greatsword has that hold stance in two-handed mode always seemed like the coolest fucking thing to me

Some laggy/hacking fucker just invaded me and spammed dark bolts that hit me 3 seconds before they actually passed through me, so everytime i went to roll out of the way of one i would stagger and then get hit, Fucking A+ would laugh again.

She seemed like the weakest of all the BP NPC's to me for some reason. The most difficult part of the whole thing was the environment, rather than purely the damage she could dish out

>>165070482
>Corrode
There's no corrosion, that's just how durability works in DS2.
It's really harsh, you usually want to bring a side weapon or repair powder.

>>165072498
Make Lifegems non-stackable. Boom, fixed.

So I'm playing SOTFS and this character just spawns in Iron Keep bridge during a fight club.

He's wearing full explorer garb.

I'm healing with Warmth, and he casts a lightning spear at the host. It does 1665 damage AND shoots out 5-6 spears all side by side, horizontally, then immediately crashes my game.

What the fuck?

Can i backup a save right before the twin cats boss fog to skip all the running? Would it be detected as some kind of abuse by the game?

>>165072729
No, copy your .sl2 file is legitimate.

The game will detect a backed up save not matching the steam account that saved it and flag that as save hacking, however.

I could swear my weapons break much faster against twin cats, ice cat, and sihn the dragon. Even against ancient dragon I didn't need to worry about durability. I once used a halberd against sihn and I think the halberd loses durability even quicker if you hit with the wood part.

>>165072498
This is a pretty good idea >>165072693
They were kinda necessary, specially at the start, since you start without estus and find them one by one. But you could buy them really cheap and have 99 of each.

>>165072945
I think Sihn has some kind of corrosion mechanic, but I don't think the cats do. I'm not completely sure, though.

Would you rather be an Outrider Knight or a Sulyvahn's Beast?

>>165072498
They work pretty well within the context of DaS2 encounter design.

But they also feel like a way to trivialize taking damage, at least towards mid/end game where you can easily have a nearly unlimited stock of them to heal up after any sort of mistake after combat.

>>165072891
uhh didn't quite get you. I just want to save before the fog and restore it if i die instead of running there again, is that okay?

Twinks really ruin this games earlygame pvp. And as always, it's some obnoxious waifufag. And it's all because invaders are mad they don't have a 90% chance of winning an invasion.
