You need an actual scaling stat. Hollow is absolute garbage for pure damage. Level dex for damage, luck for buildup. Don't bring luck higher than 30 because carrying 2 hollow weapons with at least 15 hollowing gives you 40 anyway.

ExeGS vs BKS
AR: BKS is better
range: BKS is better
Weight: ExeGS is only 1 unit lighter, negligible
R1: Identical
R2: BKS is better
WA: BKS is better

The BKS is a direct upgrade from the ExeGS

Why this happens so much in Dark Souls 3?

it's interesting to note that logan's catalyst on 44 int with both sorcery boosters in ds1 and court sorcerer catalyst with all sorcery boosters in ds3 deal around the same amount of damage in pvp
the only thing ds3 sorceries miss in terms of direct damage is tin crystallization catalyst and spells like dark beads or non-nerfed pursuers

I guess, but honestly other builds do well too. I am having a lot of fun with my 40 faith build. Got a lightning halberd and I'm tearing through the game. Even at 40 fai with 1 miracle boosting ring I'm doing alright amounts of damage.

Executioner needs less dex to wield, and gains fp from each fallen foe. Weaponart is subjective. It also has strike damage instead of standard.

So far they've shown exactly 1 item from ds2 and that item is as lame as ds2 itself.

>>166512353
It doesn't. The BKS still comes out top, not to mention the range, absolutely amazing WA while the ExeGS WA is unusable bad and far superior R2 and leo ring compatibility.
>>
So what happened to Ornstein? Did we kill him with Smough? Did we kill him in that tower near the Dragonrider? Or did he die to Nameless?

He either died waiting for Nameless, or became a dragon. Some people think he's the King of Storms, but that's probably low-tier fanfiction. Soul makes it pretty clear. I'd believe Ornstein going off and becoming a dragon, though.

there's no doubt that BKS is a better greatsword out of two
what you can't understand is that they are designed for completely different niches and in its own niche exec gs is highly usable
>>
>>166512464
>Executioner needs less dex to wield
Irrelevant in the long run
>and gains fp from each fallen foe
Useless because the WA is bad. It's a bad WA on big ultragreatswords, it's even worse on a small sword.
>It also has strike damage instead of standard.
Standard is better.

Why would he wanted to become a dragon? I thought he hated dragons. He made a career out of killing them.
>>
>>166512692
My point is anything the ExeGS can do, the BKS can do better. Even if the ExeGS had better attack, the WA itself is enough reason to never pick a ExeGS over a BKS.

You know all of those are irrelevant. It's not even about sl120, this is no morne's hammer' investment.

I doubt anyone would pick a ExeGS over a BKS. There a reason you see the BKS being used everywhere from SL 40 to 120, while the ExeGS is a rare sight.

What's next, you're gonna defend the bastard sword?

I've used the basterd sword and had a blast with it. It was cool to have the zweihander stomp on a greatsword.
>>
>>166512830
So did the Nameless King.

The only time Ornstein EVER leaves Gwynevere's side is to seek out the Nameless King. That says a lot about his respect for NK even though NK sides with the Dragons, not to mention both Heide and Lothric eventually turn to Dragon worship anyway. Ornstein killed dragons for a career, like you said. Never was there any indication he hated them, and in fact, almost every known Dragonslayer has either massively respected them or ended up sucking their dicks.
>>
>>166513221
>You know all of those are irrelevant
no, they are not
i use it a lot on my SL75 STR build both for pve (as it knocks down multiple types of enemies, deals more damage to armored targets and restores FP which i use for millwood greatbow) and during invasions if i need a greatsword option to shut off some spammy faggot
>What's next, you're gonna defend the bastard sword?

That's not really true, though. 600 damage is 600 damage whether it's a dagger or a greataxe dealing it.

I have no idea how AR translates into damage in this game though, or how armor mitigates it (or doesn't).

Does nominal AR have a roughly 1:1 translation into real damage? Better? Worse?

If you're at 120, weapons under 400 are considered garbage unless they focus more on range or speed. At 99-100, anything over 360 AR is good enough. I don't know what the average AR is at 120 but at 100,

Greatswords should have 400-440.
Medium weapons like straight swords/hammers/axes average 370-400.
Ultras average 440-500.
Dex weapons (katanas, curved swords, spears) average 350-380.
Again, these are the average numbers. If your weapon is higher than these, then they're considered good damage. If they're lower, they're either bad weapons or they have some other really good bonus like long range, good criticals, good speed.

Some weapons like Twinaxes are hard to judge because they only have 385 AR as a 40/18 strength build but do 800+ damage in 2 L1s. I didn't include damage types or split AR weapons because that would mean a fuckton more paragraphs.

The worst part is how insanely fun 3v3s are. Even the few players that do them are much more skilled than 1v1 players but jesus fucking christ I sometimes sit in firelink for 10+ minutes to get a single 3v3 started.

It's a mix. I tried 99 invasions a few days ago and while they were really active, 70% of the invasions were me having to fight 3 players with nobody else coming to invade, 20% group fights, and 10% solo hosts who were clearly PvEfags and spent more time chugging than they did mashing R1.

>can't queue with friends as team
Premades are cancer in most shooters, the last thing I want to deal with is an entire team of meme'ing redditors with funny skin colors and all running around with meta weapons trying their hardest to piss everybody else off. Can't you password with 5 other friends and have randomized 3v3s anyway?
>fast weapons are best
Strength weapons are actually strong as shit because a single hit means they'll be forced to chug their 1 estus, and the hyper armor makes it easier to handle 2v1s while your team is respawning
>kill stealing
A point is a point. If you didn't get the estus you needed back, 2bad, go get another kill and don't run into the entire team without your friends.

It's probably visible only to hunters who are linked to the Dream. Hunters who aren't probably could have seen them or may still see them, and non-hunters cannot see them outright.

Str requires you to invest in 4 stats
-VIG because you'll be slow and have to tank hits for trading
-END because your attacks consume a shitload of stamina
-STR because damage and high as fuck weapon requirements
-VIT because your weapon weights a ton

Dex requires you to invest only in Dex
-you don't need VIG, you attack fast and go out fast, no need to trade
-you don't need END, your attacks consume little stamina
-you don't need VIT, dex weapons are light, you can wear all the armor you want with base VIT

Because it's broken and not balanced at all. Feels unfair and from favoritism for dex weapons doesn't help (see all the new dex weapons with unique movesets in the DLC while str got generic movesets).

Note that "dex" usually means fast spammy weapons like katanas and straightswords
"str" usually means ultragreatswords, greataxes and greathammers
"quality" means everything else, halberds, cgs, greatswords

Of course in Dark Souls 3 all of them are quality weapons because refined is broken.

don't know and don't care

I don't need the carthus curved replaced with a reskinned version of itself. Even if the scimitar and falcion got nerfed for no reason, it wtill wouldn't make that much a difference. Pontiff knight CS and SSTB would be another story, but ultimately I don't care if low tier weapons are saved unless they're also made distinct.

Possibly since apparently just going as far as the bonfire in there isn't enough to advance Siegward forward. But there's a really good chance you're fucked.

But you're also not really missing out on much, just an infinite stock of two varieties of bolts that would be unlocked if he made it to lothric castle.

But I guess my point is: DS3 neglected a LOT of gameplay features from DS2(and DS1) because reasons. These mentioned were just the tip.
Like no heals for friendly phantoms when invaded, armor mattering(not ideal, but better than what we have now), invading when area is complete, and etcetera.

DS2 suffered from a plethora of problems, but thats no excuse to dump the advancements the game made, especially on the game's alleged last entry.

You're the same fag that's been shitposting for days behind the idea that the definition of "sequel" is only interpretable in one exact way, and that is "more fanservice than actual story".

That's not the definition of a sequel. Dark Souls II is a sequel to Dark Souls, Dark Souls III is a sequel to Dark Souls II, but one of these things does the "sequel" (the actual definition) thing a lot better than the other.

DS3 is a retarded fanservice shitfest. DS2 was using the same universe to tell a story that advanced the plot of the world. DS3 could still remedy this with DLC, but it'd have to be one fuckhuge DLC.

Opinions. I like when the sequels are more directly related to first game. I liked getting closure on Gwyn's firstborn. I liked all the direct influences.

"Doing its own thing" is shit when it can't even do that properly. Dark souls 2 had some neat side stories though.

Well, It does subtract from the game's originality as there's far too much of it.

Yes it deserves it. But all that raving criticism clouded people from seeing the game's advances, And, in my opinion, is why DS3 carried almost nothing from DS2, devs were too afraid to repeat DS2's mistakes and chose to ignore it almost entirely( I mean, people remember ''Lordran'', but not Dragleic? Drang, really?).

Can you imagine the game we would've got if they had meshed the very best of DS1(mainly area design, game progression, and atmosphere) with the very best of DS2(equipment variety, improved mechanics,fantastic DLC and to an extent, better bosses, and excluding the obviously bad ideas like equip durability,SM and ADP)

Would truly be worthy of closing the trilogy.

Rolling is easiest in DS3.

DS1 and 2 require some amount of blocking.

You're supposed to change up your tactics and equipment based on the enemy. Some enemies are best rolled through, some are best blocked. If you can't figure out how to tell the difference, you should not be playing dark souls.

You must time your dodges in Bloodborne. If you don't, you will take a MASSIVE instability modifier hit which will turn a 200 damage hit into 700 or so.

There's no instability in 3. What's the issue?
>>
>>166526432
Git gud. Lower weight cap means longer iframes (except in DS2, where it is tied to agility).

Stop roll spamming and only roll when it's needed to dodge, not just when you 'think' an attack is coming.

Alternatively, you can get a Quickstep weapon, and combine Quickstep AND bloodring, should trivialize your dodging skill.
Also, hard to have trouble since in DS3 rolls cost little stamina and have too much I-frames.

Sounds like you're right about it connecting to the depths, undead burg's map has that same LOD mesh and that bridge lines up nicely with where the upper floors of the depths are. Wonder why they took that out.

On a separate note I think I figured out what this little leftover bit of cave wall in the kiln entrance is. I found an unused small cave tunnel piece in the Kiln map folder and it lines up with the altar room (although you need to lower it a bit to make it line up perfectly). The other end of the tunnel also links up right to the wall behind the statue at the back of Firelink Shrine that was going to be movable by Andre as shown in Design Works.

So tl;dr, it seems as if that path that everyone thought went to the catacombs just went to the lordvessel altar instead.

On another note, I get the feeling the vessels arranged in rows in the now inaccessible half of the altar chamber had a purpose at one point. I really does look to me like it would have been a visual progress meter of sorts towards the final confrontation.. Sort of like how in DS3 you can put the lord remains on their thrones, although in this case I think it would have been done automatically as you slew bosses. I don't think there are enough vessels to contain all the major bosses in the game though.

She's quoting Gwyndolin when she says Father Gwyndolin, your youtuber is a retard for not having basic reading comprehension.

Gwyndolin being her father is the first thought that comes to mind, but the game tries real fuckin' hard to give you the impression that she's his "adopted" sister. Try to find ways to make that work.

That guy's essentially a mini-boss at early levels, you're supposed to be intimidated by him and try to avoid him.

Even when you encounter actual ones in the late game, they're also extremely tough and can do a lot of damage to at-level characters (and even stronger versions appear as actual mini-bosses to an optional area). They're a good example of an enemy where a shield can actually help.
>>
>>166527237

He's pretty easy to abuse if you just let him swing at the air and then backstab. It's just you don't have the health, stamina, or shield at that point in the game to block his attacks so you have to dodge it.

The early game in these is always difficult the first few times because you're not used to it and your gear is shit.

I assume that, because time is convoluted fuck that line so much, seriously, if you don't reach the Kiln of the First Flame, then another Ashen One will in your place and Link the Fire. So to guarantee that it'll fade, you need to get there first and snuff it out directly.

That's somewhat understandable. Bloodborne's setting and atmosphere really is top-notch, there aren't many (if any) games that can match it in that category.

As for DaS2, know that there is plenty of truth to all the criticisms you see of it in these threads, but also recognize that you need to form your own opinion of it and try it out yourself. It's easily the weakest out of the five games, but it also gets a lot of things right at the same time.

I just feel like that fits best because the only two god-like beings left in Anor Londo were Gwyndolin and Priscilla, and they were really close to each other geographically too. I imagine it was like that, Gwyndolin just censored anything that had to do with fucking dragons, and kept her hidden and sheltered. It would also explain the grave with the corvian in front of it. That's where Gwyndolin buried Priscilla.

Why overlap them over anor londo? This doesn't make sense because we don't know how far the demons carried the undead from Sens. We know that Anor Londo is on the other side of thew all, but we don't know how far into the city they dropped him off.

It work make more sense to overlap Firelink.

>Somehow you'd end up on the top of Sen's Fortress from somewhere else
It's the cutscene that plays when you go back to sen's fortress by using the bat demon on top of the Anor Londo staircase. You can go back and forth, you just have no real reason to. Similar thing happened in the Bartholomew trailer, there was a cutscene with Kirk, but it was just the game's opening cutscene in the asylum with a player wearing Kirk's set.

The wyvern is definitely intriguing though.

That's like saying ariandel is friede's father, it's a social ranking rather than a biological distinction

the main reason why her usage of the word "brother" in regards to gwyndolin is interpreted as anything more than a rank is her usage of the word "dear" before it, alongside the item description of her chime which states that gwyndolin gave her a name which suggests a familial relationship of some sort, adopted or not

Seriously.

For early PS2 eras, Armored Core 3 had the atmosphere of Dark Souls with the variety and pvp of Dark Souls 2. AND THEN THEY MADE IT EVEN BETTER with Silent Line.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVygU8gxqq0

Not to mention that the single player for these games were 100+ hours of main game content each. They were as "complete" as possible.

I actually think the 3v1 Ganksquad in DS2 was a subtle reference to the 3v1 missions in AC2:AA and AC3:SL, which Tanimura directed.

The problems started around 2004-2005 during the PS3 era when From got dropped by Agetec as a US publisher and couldn't afford a PS3 Dev Kit. This started the long shitfest of them working second-hand to other studios that had previously pushed their Xbox games (Sega, Ubisoft, Bandai) while desperately trying to learn a new platform without the money to expand.

2003 to 2005 were the golden years for the original From. From 2.0 struggled from 2006 to 2013, but grew fast, and From 3.0 took over officially in 2014.

Hollowing is part of a questline and is not something available from the get go.

Until you start that quest, dying just makes you lose a portion of your health (doesn't decrease more with each death). Comes with the usual co-op restrictions.

Mechanically or lore wise ?
Lore wise, you're an unkindled, you can't go hollow, unless you're given the dark sign. Which accumulates humanity and makes you go "Hollow", as an unkindled you absorb fire and, with the dark sign, you also absorb humanity, hence why you're able to usurp the first flame for the hollows of Londor, instead of it burning you like it does to regular hollows or doing almost nothing to you as a regular unkindled.

Mechanically, you gain a point of hollowing every time you die, for each point of dark sign you have in your inventory, it caps out at 99. To get more dark signs, you need to talk to the pilgrim in firelink after dying a bunch of times. You also gain a few more points from marrying Anri. To cure it you need to get the soul of the firekeeper and pay an insane amount of souls, it removes all dark sign from your inventory. This kills the questline. You can also buy purge stones to reset the counter, making you appear human until you die and you start accumulating hollowing points again. This does not kill the questline, but is purely aesthetic.

there's hollowing and embered/unembered status

embers/embering are more like humanity and the old ds1 hollowing system than the current hollowing system is; you pop an ember, you get put in embered mode, which has 30% more hp, lets you summon people/be invaded, and is lost on death

hollowing is build up by letting yoel hollow you out, he'll give you the opportunity to become more hollow as your deathcount increases. It makes you look like beef jerky and enables you to gain extra luck points from hollow infused weapons you have on hand

I'd just use chameleon for that, but what I was getting at is that you can very easily move past mobs and de-aggro them with hidden body. Slumbering dragoncrest alone is pretty good at avoiding them.
>>
>>166531153
yeah lifegems were shit in pvp because, even though you could still slowwalk while using them, you couldn't roll or do anything else and the animation was way slower than estus

As much as i love BB, aking Dks3 a hybrid between Dks and Bloodborne was a pretty bad decision. All it did was make heavy builds weaker and enable rolling 10 times in a row.

Quelemma is a giant faggot too but you're an equally giant faggot. Faggots everywhere create effigies of you to display at their gay pride parades. Faggots pray to your ass five times a day hoping they can one day fit as many cocks in their mouth as you can. In the legends of old, entire towns were able to sodomize you at once, and you would travel the world soley to taste all the cocks you could before you died and ascended to the great glory hole in the sky, where you suck people off all day for all of eternity.

Fuck you.

I really wish the ideas would just be ditched

Even things like valorheart, which most people praise as being creative due to blockframes, are ultimately the epitome of passive play since the advantages gained from using the weapon only arise if your enemy strikes first. Poise, blockframes, and parries, as they are, don't yield any return unless your opponent throws out an attack first (as in, their attack actually appears first; technically you could have a super slow attack, start your swing before theirs, then trade, but the hitbox still comes out at a point in time equal-or-later than theirs).

CKUGS and GSUGS are the best UGS for multiple targets because of their wide-arcing WA. It's perfect for a fight like deacons or against thralls.

Have you fuckers even touched an UGS? Greatsword and Astora UGS let bulldoze my way into the AoA DLC. Infact the crow knights were petty much impossible with dex weapons since they were almost always faster than you, but an ultra heavy weapon would pancake their asses in 2 hits.

Heavy weapons feel fine for the most part.

Personally i'm more annoyed about heavier armor not mattering most of the time. It's a "wear whatever the fuck you want as long as you aren't >70%" situation, which sucks. At least in previous games poise was a bigger deal and generally increased with armor weight.

firnedly reminder that actual 14th century knights never used shields in combat for they are wearing their shield in the form of plate armor
>>
>>166536046
I'm more hyped about the other ''cut content''.
Sure, the armor looks great, but Ciaran's weapons, actual Sword of Avowal, some DS2 sets, and many more.
I mean, we already got clues about Harvest Valley as shown in the trailer(the big windmill) and the sexy pyromancers.
Also, if we do get the item which ''reveals'' where the invader/host is(akin to the blue orb from the blueberries), my character will be complete.

Wouldn't hurt some regulations again to weapons stats and poise.

40/40 str and dex if you're comfortable with 30 VIT. If you die often, it's clear that you need a bit more.
>>
>>166536557
no as in the expensive-as-fuck plate armor they were wearing does the same job as shield
shields were for poors and plebs who couldn't afford plate
>>
>>166536712
I dig it, thanks m8. I'll probably pump VIT if I run into issues. Is it worth pumping other stats if I'm going to change to a Cleric on NG+?
>>
>>166536784
If you plan on using miracles then yeah.
>>
>>166536757
no, shields were not for poors and plebs who couldn't afford plate

most plate armor sets were anywhere between 50 and 75% of a man's body weight, the primary reason for them foregoing shields was actually because of an already overburdened carrying capacity and not for want of lack of protection
>>
>>166536784
If you're thinking pvp, you may as well create a new char for a cleric build, or check if your starting class won't have many points into the wrong stats(mainly int,luck and vit)
Otherwise keep leveling your main, as soul-giving items scale with the NG cycle and enemies give more souls
>>
>>166536957
>50 and 75% of a man's body weight

Wrong, most plate armor weighed anywhere from 30-50 pounds, fully distributed around the body.

Chainmail is heavier and a harder load to carry due to not being spread out like a suit of plate.

Well, the sword is definitely real and it shows heavy wear, tear, and even reforging/repairing so it was definitely used by some crazy Guts-like motherfucker.

Not the guy, but Dragon's Dogma doesn't have a specified dodge move, all you can do is kinda sluggishly walk away and jump from attacks.

That alone makes it unplayable, at least to me.
>>
>>166538440
That and some chainmail, but I'm guessing here.
>>
>>166538447
Maybe, but then again, misshandling it could also cause that. One thing people miss about archeological finds is that people liked novelties even back then.

So whenever something completely outlandish shows up, it might be outlandish for the sake of it. That sword could well just be some blacksmith going lol, look how huge sword I made.

I mean the two ultra greatswords that were found were written about almost two hundred years after Pier died, so the verification for their authenticity isn't contemporary to Pier.

But, if he actually owned and could swing that sword, he was one badass motherfucker.
>>
>>166538606
Actually, greatswords are virtually unusable in full plate armor.

At most, you can have a few segments, but heavy swords like a full-sized claymore or actual zweihander require an incredible range of motion to use efficiently, something that even well-made armor inhibits.

Believe it. That guy was part Guts.

Is there a way to plunging attack the second ancient wyvern at the dragon peak? You can get above it by going to where you fight the haven knight guy, but it doesn't seem to stick around from the couple times i have tried.

it seems really dumb for a wyvern there that takes 6 days to kill drops the materials you can buy infinitely from the ashes you get right afterwards if you can't.

Am I just retarded? Wouldn't be the first time.
>>
>>166539326
I thought you can't drop them?
>>
>>166539403
Did you give her all the divine tomes, then bought all her miracles? She became a firekeeper and relocated to where the estus ring is.
>>
>>166539409
Great Lightning Spear is 30, dude. Not 20.
>>
>>166539457
I am guessing Deep and Londor are evil tomes.

I didn't give them to her, I still have them on me.

>>166539542
People said the same thing about slabs, but those are droppable as well. Unless they just won't show up for people if you drop them for them regardless.
>>
>>166539595
I think there's at least 3 that are dark. She should only leave that spot if you do something wrong and Eygon takes her away from you or she gets all the good tomes and becomes a Firekeeper.

>>
>>166539697
The moaning throughout the fight makes you want to believe Gwyndolin's alive, but if the body is capable of feeling pain, it's definitely not fully conscious. Plus, embers along Gwyndolin's body in cinders mode means he's been synced up with Aldrich. Most likely very dead.

Something still using the medieval western fantasy type aesthetic, but totally detached from any established lore in every way save for very vague allusions that are mostly there for a bit of familiarity.

How about this for the sake of, just plain change, the setting isn't post-grimdark apocalypse?

Like, instead of the world becoming immediately a shithole, how about a new setting where things are alright at first and then incorporate the fucked up shit later when it's built up a bit.

How about a fresh setting where your character starts as a human and at the end of the first act the world starts to go to shit and prior to that point, it only manifests with invaders showing up inexplicably.

It's hilarious invading into people who have no idea what to do except hold up a shield and backpedal like a pussy. Doubly so when you're carrying Lloyd's. And triply so when you're using the boss invasion glitch.

I just wish that getting Obscuring and Silvercat on the same character were easier to do at sub-40.

You should. I ran into a few gank squads and honorfags at first when invading at SL30, but it got a lot more fun after a while.

Any weapon with a not-so-shitty run attack. So something quick recovery, long or hits as soon as you tap it.
>>
>>166542620
It's there to keep you on your toes. Everything else in Dark Souls does, why not elevators? Also, as >>166542696 pointed out, it's also probably there so that it doesn't create a situation where you can stand under an elevator as it comes down and let it crush you. I don't believe that's even modeled in the game.

Sirris only gets pissed off if you attack her, or level up with Rosaria's Fingers. Respeccing and appearance altering are fair game though.

DS3 has too much top-tier bosses that shit on rest of dark souls bosses to decide the single best.
I'd say that looking back, Artorias and O&S clearly were the most influential. They fleshed out the concept of second phases, cool and diverse boss movesets, small gimmicks like Arty's self-buffs or O&S enlargement in second phase and DS3 clearly built on top of those, making the best boss lineup in all souls games.

Great heal, by a pretty huge margin. It's an invaluable heal to bring you back up to full health pretty fast as long as you have an opening to use it.
>>
>>166544401
I should have been more specific, I generally use them in pve. Warmth seems to heal more overall but it takes time, but I can't use it in boss fights and it eats two slots...

the value of warmth is that it requires no stats (except 10 attunement) to use
if you're already invested in faith then the actual faith-based heals are better

Warmth has 25 faith

DS1/2 pyromancies had no stat requirements, not sure why they changed that for 3 because it sort of erodes away the differences between pyro and the other spell types.
