Is there really going to be no patch for DaS3 until the end of march alongside the DLC release?

I'll ask here.

Top 10 osts from the souls series dlc included. Looking to make a playlist.

We haven't had a patch in two months, the longest duration yet without one. I'm hoping for a patch in February at least but at the rate From's going I'm skeptical.

I'm curious as to why there's no patch even just fixing the boss invasion glitch seeing as that's something From traditionally would want to stamp out, yet there's been nothing even addressing it yet. I think they genuinely don't know how to fix it.

Mfw that delicious moment where opponent starts to parry-spam against a two-handed UGS R1 and is bewildered as to why he's dying.

I have a question about rings.

I am in journey 2 right now and I am finding +1 rings around. And for achievement I was told I need all the regular and the +1 and 2 versions. Do I have to get the +1 versions during my current journey, or will they still be around on journey 3 along with the +2 ones?

Because I want to try something fresh in Journey 3 and I've only the cinder left.

Whats the best non-fat armor? I was digging the Black Knight outfit til I realized how it made my ass look.

How does one git gud at rollcatching? Is it just a matter of predicting their roll and pressing R1 right after? Assume that I'm not using a long-reaching weapon like a spear or Washing Pole, is it possible to consistently catch people as they panic-roll away?

>>166711410
In my experience you can get summoned for that boss at any SL over 60 or 70, I mean there are people doing it at lower levels, but above that is with most traffic, if you go higher than that you will just get summoned by people doing NG+.

> Assume that I'm not using a long-reaching weapon like a spear or Washing Pole, is it possible to consistently catch people as they panic-roll away?

Yes, but you have to predict that they're gonna roll away and start running after them. So you need a weapon with a good fast running attack.

>>166711208
For DS2 the best way to farm twinklies + dragon bones is just to ascetic the Dragon Aerie, kill all the lizards, repeat x100

I borrowed a mates copy of Dark Souls III on my PS4 to try it out and it's better than I expected (I expected Souls II tier)
Since the GOTY edition copy with two DLC's is coming out in March, I plan on buying my own copy then
Can my save data from the standard edition be used for the GOTY edition when it comes out?
I would like to progress in the game from where I'm now rather than repeat the three areas I've completed (Lothric, Undead settlement, the swamp/woods area)
How would you use the old save data anyway?
Do you just stick the GOTY disc in and it automatically uses the save data on you PS4 plus with the DLCs

>>166713224
I was gonna say that it can't be the same one since you can kill it but then I remember that it just fucks off when you lower its health and flies away

>>166713372
Wait, I am doing ringfinger's questline in NG+, but the dickwraith isn't dropping the red eye orb.

Do I have to discard the one I have from previous journey first, or can't you do this questline again?

>>166713372

Presumably since it will be the same game with the DLC attached you can use the same save file.

>>166713507

No just killing the Darkwraith in NG+ is enough, just talk to Leonhard again after doing so.

>>166713507
did not mean to reply.

>>166713507
Sorry, I don't know
I'm a newbie to this game

>>166713570
So before I put the GOTY disc in, I delete the gb save file of standard disc, but I keep the mb save file of progress, so the GOTY disc downloads the game data along with DLC data, and will automatically install thew progress from the mb save file?

>>166713726

I wouldn't delete anything honestly.

>>166713804
So just stick the GOTY disc in, and it will automatically add data to the standard disc save file?

>>166713895

That's what I assume, even if it doesn't it'll be good to test.

>>166713470
>>166713560
What is this?

>>166713947

>>166713895
Even copies of the game that don't come with the DLC will probably still have to download the data for it because you can run into invaders or co-op phantoms using items from the DLC

>>166714082
Could you be more specific?

>>166711990
Literally who? And post screenshot of source or bullshit.

>95% physical
If this is true, my dick is no longer hard. Guess I could fix that with 10 Int and Magic Shield + Lingering though.

>18 dex requirement, C scaling dex
Don't believe it, there's barely five shields in the game with Dex requirements, and only one is a greatshield.

>22 str requirement
Bullshit, if they're greatshields (massive dual ones at that) they'll require 30 minimum.

Souls on PC was mistake

So I just started my first playthrough of DS1 in ages and I'm amazed by how much more I'm enjoying it than DS3. Something about the way the DOF blurs areas far in the background, how the character swings weapons like an inexperienced farmer. Enemies not insta-gibbing you with super speedy attack spam.

Everything feels real and connected and makes sense. DS2 and DS3 feel like loosely collected memories or dreams all mashed together and loosely rationalized. I enjoyed the painted world of ariamis much more than the entire ariandel DLC.

Killed Priscilla by the skin of my teeth on the second try, never killed her before for whatever reason. I should play demon's souls next.

everyone was havel, it was bad for cheaters on PC compared to DS3 that I've noticed.

DLC were pretty fun, and I liked some of the covenant stuff, and the bonfire showing where people in your range were. It felt off compared to the previous game tho.

>>166717793
Int and faith to 40, attunement to 30 at least, and then str and dex to whatever you need for your chosen weapons. I also recommend 14 endurance and around 30 vitality. Beyond that, it's free game.

>>166711990
Where did he confirm it, one of his videos ? Did he also confirm anything else ?

>>166717941
ADP makes earlygame rolling fucking garbage. The hitboxes in every game are janky but its super noticeable in ds2 because you have garbage Iframes early

Vanilla had really bad Ai to try and stop circle strafers so everyone has PTSD of 360 overheads

Limited invasion items and some drops were limited to once-per-playthrough npc phantoms and they arent guaranteed

Soul memeory


Honestly Ds2 did alot of stuff right and interesting and from some of the info we've got about its development (Stuff like the director changing and having to rebuild the entire game in a year)

>>166717793
40/40 is fine. 30 attunement is good. Dex does affect casting speed but you're better off just using the sage ring. Don't forget to use atleast one pyromancy boosting ring.

Kys slug worshiping heretic

How covenant selection works in DaS3 is indicative of the failures in the game's design philosophy :
In BB you essentially select the covenant the same way, you pick an oath rune and put it on you in the memory altar. Practically the same thing but in BB they tie it into the game mechanics and settings so much more fluidly that it feels less artificial within the context and you have to earn the way to etch the runes into yourself in the first place. In DS3 they just allowed you to switch up covenants cia mickey mouse club patches you swap out without giving the new mechanic a way to fit into the lore even. It's how you also had le epin DeS mechanic like checkpoint per every killed boss without it being factored into the design of the levels so whoops now we got a fuckton of bonfires that serve absolutely no purpose and cut the levels into even tinier pieces.

You can respec stats by giving a Soul Vessel to the firekeepers in Things Betwixt, so unlike DS1 leveling shitty stats isn't the end of the world

but FYI just look at the stat screen and you can see how much you're getting from raising the stat

from 0-20 it's 2 stamina per point and from 20+ it's 1, so you're past the "soft cap" but it's a much less severe cap than e.g. Vigor which goes from 20hp per point at 49 to 5hp per point at 50

It's fucking annoying when someone summons you to fight dancer when your sign is at Vordt, but I wonder what reaction I would get if I summoned someone to fight Vordt from Dancer's door.

>>166721906
I don't think you can.

Most if not all of the people grabbing you from Vordt to kill Dancer are low level people trying to kill Dancer after killing the Blue Covenant woman for some mental reasons.

Most of the people putting signs down for Dancer are well out of the level range to be grabbed for the Vordt fight.

>>166721906
Just if they grab your sign by Vordt, and run all the way back to the dancer, then follow them. Once they cross the fog and the fight starts, crystal out.

I haven't dealt with invaders in quite a while outside of my hosts worlds. Is it the wave of new players why they suck? I'm awful at pvp I shouldn't be whooping people.

>>166722749

It's not just you.
When I played last year I ran into all kinds of invaders, both as a host and as a Darkmoon.
But in the past month something like 80% of the invaders I get summoned for are

>Oh fuck my initial surprise backstab/anime art against the host didn't work um um um fuck what do I do now?

>>166722749
>Is it the wave of new players why they suck? I'm awful at pvp I shouldn't be whooping people.
I'm new to DS3 and only lost to one invader (he was using chameleon and spammed me with magic missiles). Tbh I was expecting to get my ass handed to me in all of those invasions.

Trying to host in DS1 is so fucking annoying even with connection fix. Fog walls sticking forever and causing bonfires to glitch out even when they go down, invaders immediately returning to their worlds after spawning, retarded spawn spots at another end of locations causing invaders to give up and black crystal out.
Jesus fuck what a shitshow after comfy DS3 dried finger runs.

lol someone gravelorded me in New Londo Ruins. As if I was going to search for their sign in that cave, I just backstabed the phantom Darkwraiths and was on my way.

>>166722924
>>166722952
That's what I remember too. I'm expecting arena people with meta builds. I had another new guy who didn't know my weapon couldn't be parried and kept trying despite multiple hits from my great sword. It reminded me of launch, it was embarrassing.

I guess the scary invaders are taking a break until the DLC comes out. I'm used to some crazy meta try hard, not someone who barely knows game mechanics. It's weird.

arenafaggots never invade
actual diehard invaders are always lower in numbers
like, take ds1 for example, judging by the statistics of connection fix there's only a small number of invaders and vast majority of them are only invading in duel spots, and people who are trying to invade outside of metafaggotry areas do it on retarded SLs which ain't really optimal for the areas, like SL60 for AL when it's an SL40-50 zone

>>166723134

It's such a pain trying to find the fucking sign sometimes.

>>166723274

How frequent are invasions and the potential of a blue appearing at low levels? Particularly with constant use of the dried finger and not having friendly phantoms present.

I mostly skipped over all online play in DaS3 on a character I've dumped all my time into and leveled far beyond any consistent meta point. So I want to start a brand new character and just see how things go with constantly getting invaded.

>>166723134
>>166723159
>>166723274
Yeah don't invade in New Londo, it's too dark and tedious to bother searching for the signs if you want that from your target and the Darkwraiths spawned enemies there are just free souls and items for them unless they're shit at the game.

I have a very complex question, but before that, I must check something : anyone here played Dark Souls 2?

be warned though, low-level invaders in ds3 are almost as overpowering as low-level invaders in ds1

Hello friends, Dark Souls is my fav game i've played.
I didn't rly like DS2, I stopped playing around the bit where ppl pop out of mirrors because I was bored.

Will I enjoy DS3??

>>166724475
How? It's mostly ineffective at hitting anything save for targets that don't know you're there yet and even then the damage isn't that great.

>>166724573
DS3 is a direct sequel of DS1.
People who generally like DS1 like DS3 as well, unless they are poisefags.

>>166724592
Ragdolling thralls into space is funny.

It doesn't hit as hard as chaos bed vestiges or have as great range, but it's funnier.

Making an somewhat easymode high-stamina PvE build with a greatshield.

I'm thinking of using Curse Ward with something, but I'm not sure what weapon to pair it off with, I'm thinking of trying something different like the Warpick, Butcher Knife or the Great Corvian Scythe. I'll be making them Heavy because I've made countless quality builds before.

Which of those three is the most fun? Or are their any other good weapons to make heavy?

Terrible, nightmarish zone. Never doing it again.

>>166722749
One of the main reason invaders complain about dark souls 3 invasion is because a lot of them just outright suck and are used to way eaiser invasions. You can't just get 40+ soft humanity, 99 hard humanity and backstab the host to death with no effort anymore.

What is the best way to make someone rage after you kill them? Chugging? Patches sitting? Point down?

>>166724754
I agree somewhat, while the ragdolls in DaS2 were kind of buggy when you left the area and returned, no other form of ragdolls made body piles as good as you could make in DaS2. It played to the strength of the large groupings of weak enemies you could gather up in places like FoFG.

Plus some of them slumped up against walls and stuff after death in some satisfying ways.

The reason lady has become a general term for women is because the times were nobles ruled is over and every man wants to treat his girlfriend like royalty and every woman wants to be a fucking princess.
Well they're peasants and the term for peasant women is wench.

>their gimmick turns trivial once you know how to deal with it
I enjoyed it but after a while it doesn't stay as fresh as Lothric Castle or Catacombs. Knocking them down or killing them one by one becomes a chore so it's missing a pressure element that makes the enemies all too samey. I think a good idea would be
>enter the 2rat entrance to jailer funtime
>a jailer noticed the door has been open
>slowly makes for the room with the lone rabid undead
>opens the jail to the rabid undead
>he slowly walks out to patrol with the jailers

For new players. They will panick so for them it's either walk or fuck.

Experienced ones know that they have a timer to kill that jailer but have to face the threat of other jailers noticing your presence.

To make it harder to cheese, the door you open becomes locked ala Pate style and so are the other doors.

The only way to flee and escape their aggro or rape is to open a door first and get the fuck out.

While I'm already add it, add too rabid undeads in that room.

How do i play with valourheart?

There is no need to say anything other than, "false." You are spouting garbage, not backing it up, and there are female Lords even now.

I don't care about the faggot, but at least trapposters are not as obnoxious as pontiff dick suckers.

Wow, artists sure do slap some pretty obnoxiously large tits on a flat-chested mutant boy.

>>166728523
How am I using the same tactic? I am stating common knowledge that anyone can confirm with 3 picoseconds in google.

You want an example? The Lord of Mann is currently female, retard.

Is there a roll your build image for DS3 floating around?
