/dsg/ - Demon's/Dark Souls General

How does a non-mage high poise Moonlight GS user build looks like?

Abyss watcher or dark armor for maximum edge?

Pls no fallen knight.

the company was going through a rough patch in 2012 anyway.

Armored Core V was supposed to come out in 2010, but got delayed by 2 years to work on Demon's/Dark Souls.

Near the end of ACV's development, Shibuya's pre-alpha version of DS2 had turned out to be absolutely awful so they pulled a bunch of devs away from ACV, resulting in a horribly unfinished release (there were bugs in the game that required hard resets from launch and they had to patch the graphics because it was overheating PS3s and dragging the framerate down constantly).

Those devs then had to redesign DS2 in about a year while everyone else was working on Bloodborne with SIE/Japan Studio.

It wasn't until the Kadokawa buyout that the company was restructured that the team could handle PS4/Xbone/PC generation graphics, and only with Japan studio's assistance in building a new engine for BB, which is what DS3 runs on.

Armored Core Verdict Day and SOTFS are both huge fixes and apologies from the company for the dumpster fires that were release version ACV and DS2.

You would ideally need 52 poise to not get staggered by other greatswords and not even taking bigger weapons into consideration, so go figure it out.

>>166125310

Thanks for the full build, but I actually have my own fashion.

>>166125670
Silver Knight looks elvish, not holy, IMO.

>>166125195
What warning message?

>>166124897
This is what I had planned but I deleted it around SL 90 because making a build entirely around a single weapon is boring as shit. Never decided on a shield and I wanted the fashion to match the sword, but I ended up just using my dks 1 fashion with minor changes.

>>166125176
I don't get the point of the WA shield. The fist moveset's only redeeming factor is from the running/rolling L1s and you don't have caestus' perseverance so you'll never get the chance to land standing L1s, and r1/r2s have fucking negative range that would only hit complete retards.

By the way, you need to give up fashion. You need 48 poise to neat hammers and 52 to beat GS. If your armor isn't reaching either, then your MLGS can tank as much as a non armored guy can, so either go havel's or make a sorcerer

If it does, it would be near november/december.

They tend to announce games at E3, so I would expect the DS3 DLC to come out before then, and a preview trailer of the next game at E3. Once the the trailers are out, they usually deliver within a year, unless it's a teaser (which happened with Project Force, Project Beast, DS2's alpha, and ACV's first trailers).

For the Souls series I liked Sir Alonne the most.
For Bloodborne I liked the Orphan a lot, while for me it also was the hardest but at the time most entertaining one in the game.

>>166128395
>I just wish that frostbite was more lethal
Frostbite + Deep Soul spamming + Flashsword is almost a guaranteed kill. Force them to roll a ton and the stamina recovery debuff will make them panic even more. If they even try to swing at you they'll put themselves into negative stamina range which is a free flashsword combo.

>>166124763

>>166128270
>Do bandai/from give any shits about non-gook audience at all?

They are barely aware they exist. Let me give you a few stories:

>Metal Wolf Chaos is a game set in America, where you play as the US president, released only on the Xbox and with english voice actors but NEVER PORTED TO THE US because they didn't think others would want it

>International/Western Armored Core games get patched 1 year after their JP counterparts, and have on 2 occassions required petitions from fans to Bandai to get the patches, because From is unaware that the US games weren't patched.

>The only reason From ever developed for Xbox / 360 at all was because they couldn't afford a PS3 dev kit, otherwise they would have stayed PS2/3 exclusive with most of their main games.

No one at From speaks english. They have no customer service or community outreach, that is entirely handled by Bandai. They don't do their own localization, and they only publish games in Japan. If you want to talk to someone at From you have to go through BANDAI'S US OFFICE first, then their communications department, then their JP office, and then you -might- end up as a note on the desk of one of the middle managers at From.

Makes me feel wrong about paying money for their games with this sheer level of indifference toward their customers.
i still do though

>>166129214
Westerners don't really understand that the JP domestic audience is incredibly insular. Nintendo and Konami and Platinum are the exceptions to the rule; JP studios develop JP games for JP audiences and that's pretty much it.

>>166129020
>Eitr still not released

>>166129503
I don't think it's indifference, but incompetence.

From is an old-school developer, back when they would have one or two conceptual designs and then churn out mid-tier 25$ games every 6 months.

But since then, there's been a thinning out of devs. Indie games are bigger and AAA games are bigger, but mid-tier developers like From, Cyan, Id, etc. have all stuggled during the last 10 years to gain relevancy. But with a revival of JRPGs (and the falling apart of major multiplat releases due to rising dev costs, leading to issues like Assassin's Creed Brotherhood) and such, we're slowly seeing them come back. From is probably at the forefront of this mid-tier dev revival.

You mean starting class? Doesn't matter, all starting classes can use all weapons.

You mean weapon class? Depends on the game, your stats, and what you're fighting, and even what sort of skills you have. A player with good timing but bad understanding of math is going to be better using different weapons than a player that knows the stats but has bad timing, etc.

>>166131295
Same as dks 1 but instead of being hilariously OP it's just OP. Put in a lot of swings in a short time and you'll see a giant blood splatter and they lose a big chunk of health disappear. You probably won't see it happen much unless you never upgrade weapons because you'll just outright kill them before the bleed can ever proc anyway.

Just hit something a lot of times very quickly and you'll notice that one of your swings does triple the damage, that's the swing that the bleed activates on.

It sounds like a lot of blood splattering but it's hard to hear sometimes over the other sounds. You can also see the blood explode off of them but that's also hard to see because blood already flies off of them on regular swings.

>>166132174
I dont know what the actual sound of a riposte is. I can never hear it over the sound effects that happen when you do one.
Sounds kinda like a splooshy sound like you hit an enemy 5 times but all at the same time.

They're used later in the level to impale the man grubs near Rosaria.

you fags only deserve the worst most obscure FC locations i can think of.

I don't know if it's just the fact I haven't played a new Souls game in a while but is Demon's Souls like really fucking long? Like, really fucking long.

I just made it to Old King Allant and decide to leave that for later and still have the later half of stonefang, shrine of storms, and the shitty swamp area almost completely unexplored. Only area I've finished in full yet is Boletarian Palace (unless there's more after Allant) and Latria

Why doesn't hidden body give you the obscuring ring effect? Seems like a good idea. Or would it actually make you easier to spot since you'd suddenly "appear" if people got too close?

Guide for the Dark Souls 3 fanbase:
1. Don't insult DS1
2. Don't compliment DS2
3. Don't mention DS2 unless you are actively shitting on it
4. Make sure you state that any given thing in DS3 is "like DS1/DeS", so that you aren't insinuating in any way that anything from DS2 has made it outside of DS2, even if it is a potential improvement or sidegrade.
5. State that you hope Soul Vessels make a comeback, but never mention the downsides and do not make any references to DS2.
6. When someone mentions DS2 (or even passively reminds you of its existence), drop oneliners such as (but not limited to):
>a. "lmfao are you defending DS2 right now"
>b. ">he still plays DS2"
>c. "DS2 was just fundamentally bad. Really glad FROM is returning to their roots with DS3."
>d. "It just had no story and wasn't very fun"
>e. "It was just so slow compared to DS1."
7. Pretend you are playing and have been playing DS1 for the entire duration of the wait for DS3 if at any point DS2 is mentioned in a conversation you're a part of.
8. Any time someone brings up a part of DS2's story, refuse to acknowledge that it happened at all. If they directly reply to you, respond with "lol too long didn't read" or any variant.
9. Constantly state how any part of DS2 that was a reoccurance was fanservice. Do not acknowledge any reoccurences that are already visible from DS3, or if you have to, state that it's fine because of "x" reason. (Usually mentioning Miyazaki's name or "mumble mumble b-team" will allow you to continue "being a part of the community".
10. Do not acknowledge any lore that is outside of Vaati's videos; either from DS1 or DS2. If anything is brought up outside of the content contained within them, claim that the person is "reaching" or state that you "don't buy it". If Vaati is ever proven wrong, state that you knew he was retarded the whole time, then go back to the beginning of this step.

Old (RL) folklore said iron was bad for fae so you could hammer some iron nails in an area to ward it from fae.

These large spikes look like bronze though, which I'm unaware of having specific supernatural meaning. They feel like the serve a similar purpose, part of some kind of mystical ward.

If it is trying to keep things in or out, and what exactly I'm not sure. Could all those bronze spikes be just to keep little Rosaria locked in? Or was it trying to keep The Deep or Aldritch locked in/at bay?

Or did some fucker thing it looked cool and threw it in to irritate us like this.

I have quite a few questions.

Absorption. Is it straight damage reduction? Does it have a lower value in PvP, similar to the Ring of Steel Protection? How much should I prioritize it?

I'm currently on NG, making a PvP character. How critical is it to get to NG+2 for the rings right away?

Currently, I'm at the Road of Sacrifices using a Lucerne. I'm thinking of grinding for a Black Knight Greatsword. Do you think it's worth grinding for?

Thank you, guys.

I guess I'll keep killing the Black Knight to get his weapon. Also, it's nice to know that I won't need to go to NG+2, at least right away.

It'll suck later, because on another build I want to make, I need the Sage Ring +2 for it to work.

>>166139405
If you're in PC just CE the rings into the game and if you're on PS4 ask a friend to drop you them, I don't think it's worth it to go to NG+2.

What do you like the most in an invasion ?

I love stalking hosts. They often forget that I'm here. I usually stay in the host's world more than 30mn, if he didn't die before that.

>watching their progression, silently, with obscuring ring
>sometimes shoot some with greatbows, some other times just watch
>wait for the host to be low on health
>attack

I fucking love this, stalking them for a while then killing them, it's so satisfying. What about you ?

>>166142329
Tarkus's set is in the demon ruins, all the way at the bottom. You have to kill the NPC by the lava pool and his armor set can be bought.

>>166142463
Oh I'm sorry, I thought that was supposed to be the UGS one. Oh well, don't worry i just reload my save and get everything back. Now you have the rings and you can have someone else help you transfer them or something.

Thoughts on this then?

Cosplay invasion of the Black Knight from Fire Emblem. Aim is to be tanky as shit at a low level. The extra poise helps too.

I'm limiting myself to just a single sword always wielded in one hand outside of weapon arts, and I'm currently conflicted between this one and Greatsword of Judgement.


Since it's a fun cosplay build, I'll be fatrolling whenever I'm not slow walking.

Thoughts? Also, roughly where would be the best level to invade here?

Giving souls has been patched months ago. You can kill the boss of the area if you want to ruin their fun.

>>166144194
From outsources the videos anyway, so it's likely that a map view like that wouldn't be accurate, especially since the videos are finished conceptually long before the games are done.

>>166139405
By the way be careful about using the souls I gave you if you're on your first playthroughs, as you can just level to 120 right away and ruin your fun. I wasn't sure on what playthrough you were so I gave you enough souls for if you wanted to breeze through the PvE easily as it can get boring to make multiple characters.

Also remember that if you want to do Yuria's quest you need to get 5 free levels from Yoel so consider that when using the souls to level, if you decide towards using them.

It doesn't work like it did in 2, you need an extraordinarily low equip load to make it do much of anything.
While I think you got the full 50 AR bonus at less than 60 equip load in 2, you have to go all the way down below 10 equip load to get more than a 10% AR boost in 3. For some reason it's a percentage increase in 3.
So no, it's nothing like the melee staple it was in 2.

Playing on NG+4, someone told me i'd be ruining the fun of starting fresh but lemme tell you, I think I actually took hard mode here. Red fucking NPC phantoms all over the place, tons of health on top of the usual "every encounter is a 4v1" as DS2 loves to do.

I even respecced to STR/DEX 40, which basically made my poison caestus pair obsolete as the poison is so meek at this stage. Bleed manikin claws are ok though, I'm getting a good bit of use from them. I'll just get the Dull Ember and reverse the infusions, saves me shards.

I fear for my cornhole for some areas of the game though. Unsure if I even want to continue. It's been an entire day of frustration with bile roiling in my throat. I want to have fun not get mad.

The DLC tend to have the best boss fights

What's the best weapon for backstabbing Friede?

Besides my dick

What message was Miyazaki trying to convey here?

>>166150352
Friede was imo a cheap bossfight that shouldn't have desu had 3 phases or at least she shouldn't force you to redo all the phases after you die to the phase 3 boss. Father Ariandel should've been a bossfight separate from fagflame Friede.

it took me an hour and a half to beat friede on ng the first time

Can you get the +0 rings in NG+ too or am I fucked if I missed some?

>>166151148

You can.

I've seen people in this general shit on:
O&S
Ivory King
Gherman
Maria

And then every single one of the ones you've listed from 3. Seriously, people here will argue and hate on every aspect you could think of, even the things you might think are unanimous. I don't disagree with all of those picks, though.

>>166150905
If he's talking about strictly "amazing" fights, I think Smelter falls under "good".

>>166151371
i can kinda understand shitting on ivory king though, nigga has roughly 3 moves and generally feels like gwyn 0.5, presentation is the best thing about that encounter

So is the Mace my only option for a Pyro with 15 Strength and 9 Dex? Those are the limits for my build.

>>166151371
O&S is ridiculously overrated and is actually a really badly paced fight before the second phase.

>>166133665
DeS is roughly the same overall size as DaS3 in gameplay length.
It feels big when you think that there are 5 whole worlds but most of them are just 2 levels long+Archdemon.

>>166151550
If you can spare 1 more dex you can get the warpick which is probably one of the most broken weapons in the game

Ivory King's presentation is top notch, but his boss fight is very mediocre in terms of gameplay. He has very few moves, his animations are not the best, and to get to him you have to go through a boring grind phase of generic humanoid knights that don't do anything special, all of this hurt by the bad animations the game has. It's all presentation and no substance. I don't know why he gets praised so much, there are many bosses even in Dark Souls 2 that are much better than him. People mention him in the same sentence as Fume Knight and Alonne but he's nowhere near as good. Velstadt is much better than him too.
