LKG and Velstadt were far more challenging and fun. To say nothing of the DLCs (which, in all honesty, should be considered part of the base game by this point since SotFS is the de-facto true version of the game).

It's more likely that they really don't care that much about PvP.

I guess they got to play with the new weapons in the arena like the last time, on the previous DLC. Last DLC the streamers invited didn't actually spoil that much (for example Peeve). IGN and others showed more weapons than what the streamers were allowed to show, and the game was released early on Xbone so that's where most of the spoilers came from.

I used to love Dark Souls 2 but after playing 3 and Bloodborne I just can't go back. It's a clunky, badly animated mess. Its bosses are trash, the area design is trash, the atmosphere is trash, etc. The only fun thing about it was the PvP, which was semi-ruined by Soul Memory. Oh and the build diversity, but when all the weapons have generic movesets and the most unique they can do is copy paste moves from other weapon classes, it doesn't matter too much. It's a sin what they did to the Black Knight weapons for example, compare them with the excellent BK weapons in Dark Souls 3.

Ah yes, I've run into this but I can't seem to find a fix. It happens when you try to call the last second of a clip and the script runs into an overflow(I think?) error. If you put it to the second to last second it should work. I'm still trying to fix it and I am updating my script when I think of things.

For example in the newest version I added the ability to control frame rate. Because who needs to see 60 fps webms on 4chan? Lower the frame rate to 30 and you double the quality.

True, magic was fun in Dark Souls 2

>Power stance
It sucked, the dual weapon system of Dark Souls 3 is much better.

>Armor upgrades
Bad design. I prefer the way Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 do armor, it's easier to change between sets, armor upgrades is just a pointless resource sink.

>Non linear
Rather true, however SOTFS makes this very annoying with all the petrified guys and the terrible Fragrant Branch system.

>God tier covenants
No Full Eye Orb and you say this? I'd rather have Dark Souls 3 covenants which at least give you the orb. If 3 had a Blue Eye Orb, it would be drastically superior.

>You could get invaded even in the hollow form
And this was good how? It almost never happened, by the way. I can count the times I've been invaded with one hand, unless it was by blue spirits. I have been invaded more often in Dark Souls 3 while solo than in Dark Souls 2 while hollow.

>Armor with fun effects
This is absolute bad design, armor shouldn't give you any effects at all. Butterfly armor was in extremely poor taste, it was goofy beyond words. Some goofy things like the Xanthous Crown is fine, but the Butterfly set went too far. And Jester set was extremely cancerous, no armor should let you prevent backstabs, especially one that is light and has good defenses.

>Bosses
They were all awful except Darklurker and the DLC bosses.

>Proper lore
Yes, like Old Dragonslayer and Covetous Demon. Truly good lore.

I was talking about the maps, yes. Some are good, like the DLC ones, but the majority of them are not up to par with the other Souls games.

And if you want to talk about the visuals, no Souls game has an area as ugly as Harvest Valley, and there are many places that look pathetic, like that one spot in the first part of the Forest of Fallen Giants, with the trees. You know the one.

>>166666650
I don't know what you're trying to say. They're meta, but there's no reason to ever touch them? What? BK weapons are all good and have movesets that surpass the ones in Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 3 has the best BK weapons in the entire Souls series.

3 > 1 > 2 regarding these weapons movesets.

I'm here. I work on the bat file system because it is SO much easier to work with a text based system than a UI system. It's bare bones so there isn't any flashy UI or special tools, but it does a perfect job on what it can do. Not to mention it was specifically made with 4chan's sytem in mind so if someone asks for a webm maker I can throw this at them and they can know what they make will work with 4chan.

I'm actually not sure how much a boost it is anymore. Initial webms I made that only had the single pass render I've deleted. I can try making a new webm with single pass and make the exact same time scale with a double prerender and we can see how it goes.

I started working on it because the UI for webm for retards was confusing when I first started trying to make webms. Not to mention I had no understanding of bitrate or how I should calculate it. First webms I tried to make looked like ass and were crazy random file sizes. This bat file is just piss easy to use.

You need to put a lot of points into stats to get buffs, it's silly that there's a magical item that removes them. The other player should be forced to either fight it head on or try to survive while the buff is active. Faith builds would be so much more viable if Duel Charms didn't exist.

>>166673505
Weapon buffs are actually able to be casted quite fast, you can do it pretty safely as long as there's some space between you and the opponent. And if you stay in range of me, well, my build can still do some damage and I have the opponent on the offensive, ready to be shitted upon by passive reactive strategies. Duel Charm users deserve the worst.

>>what is duel charm

If you roll backwards, Duel Charms never hit you, and if the player predicted your back roll and free aimed the Charm to your back, you're going to be in a good distance to run away and recast. With a bit of patience Charm Shitters are very ineffective.

It's so satisfying to kill them and rebuff over and over again over their fading corpse.

Allegedly not meeting your chime requirements slows down the tickrate of the healing (probably not true), but I'm pretty sure that buffs are unaffected by cast speed (though feel free to check).

>>166671940
>>166672430
For PvE 27 should be enough for an average joe, and if we get down to it you really don't need any, but for PvP with an ultra weapon you do want vig. Half the point of using those things is your ability to trade, if you don't have vig you're going to get fucked fast. At 120 you're gonna want more than just 30.

regen is pretty good too, and great heal heal/sunlight at least carries good potential. I love casting heals on people who backpedal too far away from me; if you wave goodbye to make fun of them for backpedaling they'll usually go even further away in an attempt to spite you, often giving you time to safely recover all your hp. The fact that they have to helplessly watch is the best part; it's like pointing down at their corpse, only you get to actually see them frantically try and do something about it instead of just imagining their reaction on the other side of the screen.
>>
>>166674985
>Allegedly not meeting your chime requirements slows down the tickrate of the healing (probably not true), but I'm pretty sure that buffs are unaffected by cast speed (though feel free to check).
nope. you still get healed over time 2hp per second. there's abs. no negatives to just using a chime for bless weapon if you don't meet requirements. its kinda odd actually.

>>166674985
>At 120 you're gonna want more than just 30.
i have 30 and with favor+2 I'm up to 1440 hp. i have PLENTY of hp to trade and hit you back. and when it comes to fighting other ultra users timing is everything, you don't always have to trade off a blow. put it in better terms ive had 27-30 vigor and all 3 games. including bloodborne (not souls game) and i did just fine in pve/pvp. sure sometimes ill have 200 less hp then some people but that easily makes up for it when my ultra can combo hit for 1200-1500+ no problem.

>>166675342
I'm not wasting attunement slots on a fucking heal. I'm not going to heal in good matches, and shit matches i'd rather get over with quickly.

Either way, I still think you don't need the cast speed bonus, and using a priest's chime gives you access to the weaponart (which is actually pretty good). I cast magic shield with the crystal chime instead of the witchtree branch to save weight (and also cast replenishment) and it doesn't feel slower or faster when I vary my dex.

And if you're always going to swap your 4th ring anyway like you say you are, you could use the priestess ring to hit 15 faith, cast the buff, then swap afterwards to save 5 SL.

>>166675552
Even from just regen you can get a yuge advantage though. Even if you start off as a warrior class, spending four points on att and one on faith then preistess swapping to cast replenishment at the start of a match gives you up to 300 more HP. Even if you don't get hit for the first half of the spell's duration, that's still 150. Starting from 27 vig with life and favor, you need to level up seven or eight times to get that much health unembered. If you were to start from 37, you can't increase your HP by 150 until you level up around 13 times due to diminishing returns on vig. Regen is a pretty good deal if you don't get charmed or killed in one parry.

they can be with good timing. its like dark pyro its different at first but you pick up on it quickly. i pref just good ol' fasion sorcery but dark isn't too shabby

>it has good spell buff
it gets worse the higher you go

let's assume we're using a deprived character for simplicity's sake;

a 20/20 crystal shime

a 25/25 crystal chime and a 40 int stave or 40 faith talisman/chime all take up 50 sl worth of investment in int/fai; staves and talasmins have equal base spellbuff at best, and chimes can give you a smidge more (183 instead of 180)

a 30/30 CC is only par with 50 int staves and a 50 int saints talasmin, but is outclassed by the saint's talasmin (which is garbage due to no hyperarmor) and some faith chimes; a 50/10 yorhka's chime has as much spellbuff as a 35/35 CC. If you're considering actually softcapping the crystal chime, you might be better off switching between yorhka's and court sorc staff.

I played Dark Souls 1 on ps3, then shit happened and finally after some years I have a console again and Im planing to buy Dark Souls 3 once the new dlc is released.

What is the current state of the lore?
Like I heard that this is the last ds game but I dont know if I would enjoy the game blind (I just have seen some boss fights) or if should spoil some things myself in order to understand what the fuck is happening because who the fuck is the ashen one?
Are we really getting closure I remember so much vague shit that I cant believe eveything will be answered

Yeah Souls games do that if you're not looking at a guide.

I played up to NG++ until I realized there was another section to the tar pit in Sen's Fortress with two more Titanite Demons.

Huh, a giant rat just knocked me through the floor of Irithyll Dungeon and out of the world.

Interesting.

People who have linked the fire in the past are called Lords of Cinder
Flame is dying again and the bell brings past Lords of Cinder back to link the fire again because people are too retarded to do it themselves
Ashen one is someone who's brought back from the dead to force the Lords to link the fire aka you hunt them down and bring their ashes to the kiln

Really tough because they all had something really awesome.

DaS1 :
Sen's Fortress rooftop when the batwing demons give you a lift to Anor Londi. It's just a great fucking view of everything below and above Sen's, just quintessential Dark Souls.

DaS2:
Dragon Aerie. The view is absolutely breathtaking and it feels like limitless possibilities are ahead of you in the game. Shame how the gameplay is kinda shit or meh. Oh well.

DaS3:
AoA, Corvian village. So fucking comfy.

Bloodborne :
Hemwick, more specifically the view that opens up as you round the rooftop to the area where you can see Hemwick Crossing, Witch's Abode and Castle Cainhurst in the distance. Love the atmosphere, the sense of spatial awareness when you see Cainhurst in the distance,the crows flocking over the mansion at Witch's Abode and the bodies on the crosses.

I'm a FAI then STR player, in every game (actually, FAI then the toughness stats, then STR) and I fell in love with the look and idea of Ornstien's Dragonslayer Spear.

Both in DS2 and DS1 I busted ass to not only get it but get the requirements for it and both times it was outdone by a +10 Divine Claymore.

Also forgot DeS.
I think Shrine of Storms had a great atmosphere. A looming storm, a crumbling fortress with torn flags flapping in the breeze, sea air salty as Yukas after a point down.

Majula also had a great atmosphere but I think the Majula music is shit. Would beed more natural ambience and actual wind chimes as an environmental audio source instead of the ear-numbing track that plays everywhere in Majula and just kind of passively annoys.

Gwenevere is nice but how would someone fuck her? I mean her vag is probably large enough to walk into and if she contracted in the middle of sex it would probably cleave your body in half.

>>166682683
I don't get this item. The flag is part of the magic, so I doubt it's some ultra unique strong attack. It can't be a spell because it would only work with that spelltool. It's not a weapon art, since the LKGshield bashes. Could it be an item? Maybe they didn't want to completely scrap the bonfire making mechanic, so they introduced this item (?) to buff nearby allies (???)

People got so caught up in the little invading minigame they forgot why invading exists. It's not something to measure your skill and worth or expand your epeen. There is one and one core principle and final goal in invading: being a total dick to other players.

Spoilers in bound (not huge ones though) in bound so don't read this if you want to go into the game completely blind:

The Abyss Watchers linked the Fire to stop the spread of the Abyss. Upon being revived they probably discovered that it's still about/linking the Fire doesn't permanently stop it, so they refuse to set themselves on Fire again and go back to their Abyss combatting duties. Some of their number also become Abyss corrupted, so in fighting stops them from acting as one group in order to link the Fire.

Aldrich was forced to link the Fire due to being a gigantic useless blob of slime, which has a very powerful soul but no physical ability to actually use that strength, so he never wanted to link the Fire to begin with, letalone relink. When he comes back to life the group that once forced him to have since reorganised into a faction that shares his belief, a subset of which is a cult dedicated to worshipping him as a prophet, so he doesn't link the Fire again.

Yhorm linked the Fire to put an end to something called the Profaned Flame in order to save the city he ruled. When he comes back to life he might have discovered that the Profaned Flame is still going despite his actions. That, plus the misery caused by the fact that all his subjects hated him, meant he probably couldn't go through the pain of linking the Fire again.

Prince Lothric either never linked the Fire to begin with, or he was forced to the first time, so upon revival he refuses to. He might be an advocate of the Age of Dark, he might be a follower of a religion considered heretical in his homeland. Either way, he wants the Age of Fire to end.

>bk weapons are so bad in the das3

>>
>>166683948
So 3 shows two things: that the world continues to decay more and more as long as the fire keeps being linked, and that being a Lord of Cinder is pretty fucking shitty.
There's really no good reason to link the fire.

i own a 3DSXL exclusively for monster hunter, but that's a game series that i know i'm putting over 500 hours into per game before i buy it, which is alot more than I can say about any other game i've played in the last year

if horizon zero dawn, god of war, and nioh end up being amazing, then i'll happily buy the ps4 so i can also go back and play the other exclusives i've missed. but that shit's gotta be good to warrant spending 300 bucks for the console

Yhorm also eventually went insane over that fact that he is blamed for not stopping the profaned flame and that he lost a couple of people close to him that he was sworn to protect and went on a blind rampage. So he's also too insane to even think about linking the fire now.

Also by DaS III linking the flame isn't considered some heroic glorious title of honor as it was in DaS I and II. Everyone now knows it requires you to burn alive for potentially a millennia to fuel an ever weakening flame. No one in their right mind wants to do that job.

In their defense, what kind of retard invades into a fight club and then doesn't immediately try to kill the host? If you wanted to participate in a fight club, use the red sign, not the red orb. Even if it was a legitimate fight club, you punish the host for hosting while Embered.

When you invade, you have to go full dick mode and do everything you can to fuck over the host. That's the whole point in invading. The other guy sure as hell isn't going to offer you the same benefit.

Okay in a queue when you get summoned you'd go to the bottom of the queue, in a stack you go to the top.

>>166695951
The presence of ruins from the first game in Ariandel's restoration implies that it is the same one.
If only dragon crossbreeds can create paintings then who created the original one? The game says it was Ariamis, but nothing says he was a dragon crossbreed.
Why would Sulyvahn need another painted world?
Why would Gwyn need more than one painted world? The first game makes no indication that it was going to rot away, and don't act as if Dark Souls 3 lore was all planned from the beginning.
The first game explicitly says that Priscilla was put in the Painted World because she's an abomination feared by the Gods. The Gods used the Painted World as a place to shut away horrible shit they didn't like.

>>166696383

Just the same architecture, but not necessarily the same one. Even with the crow people, who seem to be warped.
You're correct, and it also doesn't tell us jack shit about who or what Ariamis was. You try to find any information about him, but there's none.
Why wouldn't he? Creating new worlds isn't exactly something you just throw away.
Worlds decay. Even the Painted Worlds, but with those you can create new ones whenever you need to, fresh and ready to go. And it can be whatever you want it to be, look however you want it to be.
We all know she's not an abomination feared by the Gods. They don't fear her, they put her there for safe keeping. If they feared her they could easily have killed her, but they didn't. She was created by CHOICE, and INTENTIONALLY. And intentionally left alive. Putting shit in a Painted World they didn't like is just the press release. They can kill immortal Archdragons, they didn't need to hide shit away.

Orb. That at least leaves residue and it also travels a further distance. Damage is roughly the same. I think the explosion is bigger too.

Chaos orb if your target is also going to take the lava damage, vestiges if they're definitely not.

>>166698273
idk for you, but the appeal for me is that longsword/straightswords just seem more grounded in reality. No one in their right mind would carry around a huge ass ultra greatsword. You'd get tired just swinging it a couple of times. Yeah yeah, I know it's a video-game, but I like the idea of using a weapon more grounded in reality to take on the fantasy sometimes. For instance I can never get over how stupidly long the washing pole is or how retarded heavy morne's hammer would be.
>>
>>166698412
>>166698273
Yeah, I'd use the Lothric Knight set 150% of the time if that shield wasn't so dumb looking on the player character.

I saw a webm of a guy two handing the lothric UGS and offhanding the lothric knight SS for the sheathed look, might do that honestly.
>>
>>166698106
Not that much a difference. Orb is slightly better point blank since you can throw down for a lava pool, vestiges is a little easier to combo into from serpent.

>>166698576
Washing pole is based off of an actual weapon though, as are greatswords, though the latter weren't swung as freely as they are ingame
>>
>>166698194
That's what I always thought, though Vestiges has been great so far though. Seems to cast and fly a bit faster

Why is PvP as a caster so terrible?
Farron Dart or Great Dart is the only sell to hit people with because everything else is too easy to dodge and the only way to hit them with that is by baiting an attack, rolling through it and casting into their back before they recover.
Only other ways anything else has hit people is if they're distracted or Dark Edge on someone after baiting an attack or as they come in fr a running r1.
>>
>>166698896

Vestiges is easy mode to dodge. At least with Orb, they might catch residual damage.

Tested them both against silver knights just now to see.
Vestiges did about 100 damage more at 40/40 +10, but the lava can bridge that difference if they stand in it.

It's personal preference really.
>>
>>166698412
It truly is. I like using a bunch of different weapons, depending on how I feel.
>>166698576
Exactly. It's nice to switch up the pace from something like the Longsword or Lucerne to Yhorm's Great Machete or Black Knight Greatsword, though.
>>166698651
Two handing your weapon while having another in your offhand slot is really nice, depending on how you do it. I'm a fan of having the Drang Twinspears taking that role, depending on the chestpiece.

Great Deep Soul is honestly a better replacement because it does a ton of dark damage, staggers, and has such a low FP cost that you don't have to really care about it missing your enemy. Your sword sorceries are also really important because they work differently than a regular weapon.

Flashsword running and rolling R1s can chain into a second R1 if you hit them with both the sword and the staff during the swing, and Soul Greatsword does massive poise damage and a longer stagger animation than normal greatswords would. Flashsword -> Flashsword -> Soulgreatsword catches people who panic roll, and you can also do Flashsword -> Greatsword if your flashsword swing didn't hit them with the staff. Dark edge is good for outranging somebody but it's also really easy to dodge compared to soul greatsword.
>>
>>166699509
compared to throwing on full havels and standing still while 4ks chop you in half a hundred times without killing you?
>>
>>166698651
I barely use the main hand lothric sword and just 2h the offhand lkgs. Offhand weapons should be ultras that only have a usable r1 and your mainhand should have r2s that are worth using.

Every single Souls game takes me a fucking million years to get through until I get comfortable enough and know enough to blast through it. It doesn't really matter what archetype, but with magic you have flexibility and a lot of enemies are made less of an issue. Until you run into an enemy that is resistant to your magic.

No thanks

I'm using gold ritual spear so no problem hitting them with staff on a flash sword. I prefer dark edge to soul great sword myself and trying to combo it from flash sword is a great way to get punished.
I've found dark edge gets more hits than soul greatsword too

They'd have one or two slow projectiles chasing them, so they'd be trying to dodge those when you cast a spear. Try casting it to roll catch at a distance when they attempt to dodge deep soul
>>
>>166700371
I can do it fairly fast but DS1 and prenerf DS2 you traded off pvp abilities for pve. Well depended on the type of sorcery you were using. Three the spells felt worse in the early game way worse than sword and board.
>>
>>166701006

Yeah, playing with spells early game is fucking awful, since none of the spells you use are any good and you don't have many flask charges and your spells hit for very little on top of that. It doesn't take THAT long for them to get good, but the start sucks.

UGS are purely for duels or pve. During invasions, you have almost no chance to punish host so you're limited out of the most common way to defeat them.

That goes for literally every NPC you can kill. Why do Siegmeyer, Solaire and Undead Merchant stay dead when you kill them? What about Lucatiel and Lenigrast? Or Patches, Sirris and Leonhard?

Havel probably did wear priestly clothes outside of combat. It's not like his armor was fused to him.
>>
>>166707042
Because they're in your world, not the other way around. Like a summoned player, death means they return to their world.
That's why they act like you've deeply insulted them when you kill them instead of acting like you fucking killed them. At least in DaS1.
>>
>>166707042
The whole "theory" is that the Undead stay dead when they have nothing left to live for, and could possibly go Hollow beforehand. Siegmeyer's quest was overridden by the Chosen Undead constantly helping him. Solaire managed to find his very own sun. The Undead Merchant had his only customer turn on him.
Patches, apart from being Unbreakable, has wares to sell. Sirris is constantly hunting Fingers, while Leonhard is constantly collecting tongues.

I thought hollows never really died but rather after being killed and beaten to a pulp enough times their souls become so weak that they can no longer revive themselves and just kind of exist.

You'd be surprised at how bad most players when boss invading. I ran into a guy who had summoned three phantoms when I arrived. Killed two of the phantoms inside the boss battle and then ganked the host with Papa Cinder. Too bad I didn't record it. You guys will just have to believe me.

Some Undead can die normally, like Gilligan did. Ones that go Hollow, like you said, roam aimlessly until killed enough times that their soul fades into only a mote of what it used to be. Stronger souls may last longer and yield greater rewards

His fault for what exactly? All the atrocity and dark fuckery that happens in 2 and 3 as a result of CU linking the flame?
Assuming that's what you're talking about, Oscar was just pursuing a prophecy he knew nothing about in a desperate attempt to keep himself sane, and possibly turn things around for the undead. With time working how it does in Dark Souls, I think it's safe to assume that even if Oscar hadn't gotten the CU out of their cell in one timeline, the events of DaS1 and the rest of the series would have carried out regardless. Just like how the whole premise of the game is "prolong the world's life for just a few moments or put it out of its misery," all Oscar did, if anything, was give the CU that last little shove they needed to go and fill out the prophecy for themselves before some other nameless, faceless undead took their place.

tl;dr whole underlying theme of dark souls is 'nothing anybody does matters' and if there's anybody to fault it's the gods and serpents for clinging onto the age of fire for so long when the abyss was just going to fuck up the world anyways.

Well, no one in the Chosen Undead's world was too concerned with linking the fire. Since DaS2 seems to be distanced a great deal from the first and third, the events there probably would have happened as normal. As for DaS3, it probably would have had an impact.
But yeah, Gwyn was having too much fun with his barbecue in the Kiln and the Serpents had whatever shifty agenda, so something would have happened, somehow. Oscar probably just gave them a boost

Frampt and Kaathe would have found another rube anyway. The Chosen Undead is just a regular Undead, but they call you that to make you seem all special and like your quest is some prophecy, but in reality it's just to keep you obedient and believing whatever shit they want you to believe and doing whatever they want you to. You don't know any better, you're just some Undead looking for a purpose.
>>
>>166708743

No, the overarching theme is that you can't do anything, but the underlying theme that you're meant to figure out is that you CAN do something, if you stop believing everything you hear, especially when they tell you you can't do something.
>>
>>166709253
Since Pygmy, in a way, started the human race with the Dark Soul, also called the Soul of Man, any and all Undead are descendants in some way. He was meant to be forgotten, so there's no way to tell who the true heir is. I would expect Kaathe to remember Pygmy, but why does Marvelous Chester remember Pygmy? Maybe there's more going on behind that sneering mask than we thought
>>166709387
>Literally any Undead could have linked the fire
Too bad the Crestfallen Warrior sat on his ass all day, maybe he could have done something. Even Domhnall, the eccentric peddler of Zena, could have linked the fire, resulting in trinkets and oddities for all Undead across the land
