>>166752123
How much of that is split damage though?

In dark souls 2, why are there billions of blood stains everywhere?

>>166752082
>>166752230
Astora's is one of the strongest weapons in the game infused with raw, if you want to continue using it why not try a pure FAI/INT/magic build? bump END to 40, vig to 50, and as little STR/DEX as possible to use the weapon. This way, you can use powerful spells and buffs while having a formidable weapon.

If you just prefer straight swords, you could always try Anri's with a luck build, same moveset as Astora. Dark sword is stupidly strong on either pure STR or quality, and Valorheart is really fun to use, and killer in PVP.

>>166753128
You'll lose your souls over and over and over

I feel like DaS3 PS4 FCing.

>>166753172
Thanks, ill more than likely end up try out all 3 swords you recommended.

>>166752230
Lothric knight sword

Friendly reminder that Soul Memory is a good mechanic. The only people who complain about it either dont understand it or are twinks that want to bully new players. Dont fall e-celeb memes, people!

>>166753295
[laughs for 5 minutes straight]

>>166753128
I always suspected that some of those bloodstains are fabricated by the game instead of coming from real players... some of them are in really suspect places where I don't see anyone dying ever.

>>166753128
ds2 generates fake bloodstains
take majula for example, with all the bloodstains right beside the fire of people who just jump off the ledge

>>166753581
If more people are down I'll host.

>>166753803
but new players suffer the most because failing to grab your soul stain bloats your SM while leaving you underleveled

>>166753803
>we want to get rid of twinks
>adds endlessly farmable of nearly every consumable and pre upgraded weapons that require no soul investment at all
>adds agape

>>166753825
Bloodstains were one of the best things about DaS2 there were so many in majula of just people doing gestures and then jumping of edges or groups of people just walking over edges, it was fucking hilarious.

>>166753803
>>166754024
and to add to what the second poster said, even if it weren't a matter of bloodstains and was reworked to only be based off of souls spent rather than souls gained, it still bloats the level of experimental players who spend souls upgrading different weapons (as those weapons may end up not being used on their end-build).

>>166752134
where do i go for better opponents? I can go to pontiffs with a finger and not die until some fucking mage gets in the mix and i jump off a cliff because magic is fucking cancer in these games.

>>166753842
>>166753825
you fucking what lmao

>>166754790
/dsg/ FCs s-stop laughing
check twitch fro streamed FCs this usually attracts at least 1-2 decent players
don't expect pontiff invaders to be anything special, they're always expecting gank squads an aren't equipped for proper dueling

>>166753842
I believe that
all the bloodstains in the BoB room always seemed suspicious, how do you die there? gren?

>>166755017
/dsg/ sucks

>>166755017
i don't like fcs just because it takes forever to actually fight someone. not interested in watching other people. is there some kind of password for people on /dsg/ or am i just fucked? all of these people at pontiffs are fucking scrubs and the arena is even more cancer than homing soul mass

>>166755168
you suck

>>166754790
>hey I can beat everything except for the things I can't beat, where's the challenge?

>>166755383
/dsg/ FCs usually have two fights going on at once, so you get into a fight much faster.

>>166755168
/dsg/ fc usually has people using non-meta shit. If they actually used meta weapon they would probably kick teeth in

>>166755383
you'll only watch if there isn't enough signs. if the fc full, there is usually two fights at once

what talisman should I use for hyperarmor casting?

>>166753786
This. I use Lothric knightsword plus cartus flame arc + avelyn. It's damn good.

>>166753295
why did this game jerked itself off to the idea of getting the player killed for the sake of it?

>>166755749
>he uses miracles
try not to laugh guys, its mean

>>166755168
Compared to pontiff's rabble, the average /dsg/ shitter is a godsend

Is 25/25INT/FAI good for SL~50 pyromancer invader?

>>166755881
Thanks for help. How's your 40/40 cookie cutter build going?

Assassinating babysitters out of bossfights with this glitch is endless fun.

>>166755749
Sunlight has best HA I think. Many people prefer canvas for balance between spellbuff and HA.

>>166755749
Sunlight>canvas
though canvas should be fine for most poise dmg attacks you suffer

>>166755749
Canvas. Not as much HA as the sunlight and not as much SB as the sunless but it's a pretty good general use talisman.

>>166756209
yeah
might even be on the high end depending on your rings

What's the best sword if I want to be an aggressive fuck?

It seems like Valorheart has the most aggressive moveset

Because of e-celebs and memes. DS2 does have its problems (no full orbs, soul memory, lack of free aiming, lack of ability to aim rolling attacks, I could go on) but by and large the game's pretty good and people shit on it to fit in. I've even seen people go so far as to straight up lie about the game to make it seem worse. I think some of that is due to most of the community starting with DS1 and then simply not liking that everything after wasn't a carbon copy of DS1.

That's just because every boss must drop a bonfire. Doesn't really benefit the game in any way but it doesn't hinder exploration and discovery either so I don't mind it at all.

It's so obvious it will be that cut content halberd

>>166757873
>>166759112

I can understand what he means. Dark Souls 2 did some things that are meant to amp up the difficulty but end up just making the experience unenjoyable like the 15 Syan Knights in the Undead Crypt corridor that are really hard to sprint past on boss door runs or the runup to Sir Alonne, but as far as the basic combat mechanics or bossfights go, DaS2 feels pretty easy.

Although it's subjective, Lobosjr said that on his NG-NG+7 slow run DaS2 was way harder than DaS1 or DeS but he cpuld've been talking about the DLCs which are actually good imo.

So I want to play Dark Souls 1 what is best build?

>>166762336
I've been looking up the PSN achievement stats and Bloodborne has the lowest boss completion rates for bosses. Whic can be understandable because Ludwig especially is such a slap in the face.

>>166762071
Invader build at SL70,50-55,30

>>166755098
Actually, Gren has some crazy strong hexes if you give him the chance to cast them. One of them is a dark orb the size of a Forbidden Sun that shoots towards you, stops in midair just long enough for you to drop your guard wondering what the hell is going on, then violently explodes for all your health.

>>166762430
I'm expecting some regular batwings to be outside his boss room and drop that themselves, but I would'n't be surprised if they make it a boss weapon.

You guys really think they can't just change a placeholder name?

Because it's worse than its prequel, its sequel, and the series spinoff.

And it looks nothing like a dragon weapon, it actually looks like some of those bat demon weapons

>Dark Souls 2 did some things that are meant to amp up the difficulty but end up just making the experience unenjoyable

Like how DeS has the gauntlet before the Penetrator or pretty much all of New Londo in DS1? Like all of those ambushes in the VoD in DeS or the infamous silver knight archery area in DS1? All of the games have plenty of that.

DS2 is the first Souls game that you can get through without dying, DeS and DS1 both literally force you to die and DS1 does it late in the game when you're likely to lose some shit.

>>166763320
Is it the atmosphere? To this day I rank DeS's atmosphere at the top even though I think the game's mechanics are a little dated. With areas like the Shrine of Storms and Latria present in DeS I've never understood why people go on and on about shitty areas like Ash Lake when talking about atmospheric areas in Soulsborne.

Okay, so it's not impossible. Doesn't happen often, though.

>>166763773
Marvelous Chester and the chimera boss from DaS1, for starters. Also, the bat demon itself has an unfinished model in the cut files. Maybe a few things from DaS2 I can't remember off the top of my head.

>When does Dark Souls 3 force you to die?

When did I say it does?

>>166763927
You summon other players to kill them for you? If you're super dedicated to the roleplay, I mean. Otherwise, just equip a weapon and attack the boss until it's dead. Faith kind of got screwed for PvE this time around.

Too much to list. Every DLC has some stuff that was originally unfinished in the game files on launch.

Hell, the bat demon boss itself was cut content in DaS3.

The thing is that you can never be totally sure what was "cut" content and what was simply DLC placeholder content left in the game files on release.

Vow lasts like 10 seconds, it ain't gonna stop shit.

If you successfully Vow someone who wants to heal, they can just turn tail and run the debuff out. The best answer to people abusing those bugs for instant full-heals is to simply curse them.

>>166760465
Partially because people keep asking. Mostly because of how the changes caused a playerbase split, not simply due to taste, but due to how they affected the value of continued play for different sorts of people.

In DS1, the replay value was that you got to make different decisions the second time though. Seigward's quest is way better if you fuck it up the first time and hear his last words, his daughter's name, before doing it properly and seeing her standing over his body. Solaire's quest is also something you aren't expected to know how to do properly the first time through; you kill him, then get the maggot, then get the old witch ring, then talk to the sister and open up the shortcut. To a degree you've also got the Kaathe/Frampt descision, but I guess that's not much a choice since Kaathe very clearly gives more useful benefits. Obviously you don't have to do any "quests" in the specific ways I've proposed, but they're still set up in such a fashion that one playthrough educates the next.

DS2 took a different approach, and just put raw content behind NG+. Since by "raw content" we're talking about have-or-have-not things like rings and items here, and not the this-or-that decisions from DS1 which necessarily require multiple playthroughs to be fully experienced, a lot of people perceived it as grind. Want a proper chloranthy ring? Gotta kill this boss twice. Want to see a full boss's moveset? Better keep playing. It was just thinned out. On the other hand though, things like the Nil Greatsword gave you benefits for going all the way up to NG+9, further than the prior game where I only justified going through twice, so other players saw it as having more longevity as opposed to less.

The point here is that it isn't just that some people devoted more time to it and some people devoted less, but that the reasons for which people opted to devote less were identical to the reasons for which people opted to devote more and vice versa.

>>166763847
>Is it the atmosphere?
Its several reason but atmosphere is definitely up there. I also feel that it does the evironmental storytelling the best out of the whole series.
Gameplay wise, it does feel dated and clunky but it feels good when you get used to it. The pace of it makes Demon's feel more like a game of knowledge and tactics tham about mechanical skill.

It has my favorite structure of the world as well. Its like ds2 but Demon's does but its smarter and better about it. It rewards you for learning the world and lets you aim straight for the tools you need for a certain or to farm certains. Like if you dont start with Faith character but you want Faith items, you can find a Talisman and a blessed mace in the Valley of Defilement. If you need more grass, you can go to boletaria; if want to farm souls, go to shrine of storms, etc...

This rewarding of knowledge is reflected in character builds. My build is a Str/Fai and thanks to that, I can avoid the need to farm for grass and lotus thanks to Miracles. Later on, i found the large sword of moonlight and that made the 2nd area of StoneFang much much easier thanks to the sword that deals magic damage. Demon's is incredible to me because of this and this was the thing that made me like ds1's world design so much.

>Vow lasts like 10 seconds, it ain't gonna stop shit.
The duration is fine, but it doesn't stop people mid cast, so they always get a window to cast while you're recasting vow. Even if you aren't dartcasting, you can take pause to heal (or throw a sunlight spear) at the exact same time your opponent pauses to vow. Even if vow lasted a minute, this would still hold true.

>'ve never understood why people go on and on about shitty areas like Ash Lake when talking about atmospheric areas in Soulsborne.
90% of that is probably due to Seigward's quest ending there, the remaining 10% being due to the fact that the OST fit the end of it well.

I remember the concept art from a while back that had a big headless knight wielding a bell flail. We thought it was a hoax at the time, but that headless armour design showed up in the screenshots for The Ringed City as an enemy wielding a big sword.

It makes me hope the bell flail version will end up actually being real.

>>166765047
Hey ; )

>>166765268
nvm i already picked morning star

>>166765268
Mace.
Morning Star's bleed is trivial and would only ever factor against enemies that are extremely weak to the status and also have a massive HP pool. You can always just rouge an unupgraded bandit's knife against enemies or bosses like that since bleed is %-based anyways.

Going for all the trophies/achievements in dark souls 2. Do I need to save boss souls like I did in dark souls 1 for an achieve on making weapons?

How do I beat this fucking weeaboo? The gauntlet he puts me through is enough to deplete my mental strength before I face him and encounter an entirely different challenge as well. Shit, even Fume Knigga is a lot easier than this fucking weeb.

I would hope so. I threw frost weapon on some sellsword blades and people usually died before I froze them.

Dart buffing aside, what's the best weapon to use frost weapon on? Anri's SS with luck? I'd kinda rather have something that's multihit to avoid rollprocs.

>>166765776

It would help inflict Frost greatly, the problem is Frost itself still isn't that good. It's only really useful when using Snap Freeze with the Friede's Scythe WA combo to inflict more damage during it.

You want a winning formula?

Full Havel's, equip your hardest hitting weapon/spell/pyromancy run up to the king, keep hitting them, only pause to chug.

Voila, you win everytime.

>>166765971
It doesn't get used because the people that do it get banned for off topic discussion.

>>166765942
I had the same experience. Frosted a pair of warden twinblades and typically bled people before ever frosting them. Even in invasions where idiots get caught in the loop of [roll back ->chug->get punished->roll back->chug->get punished] for all 15 of their flasks, I never once managed to trigger frostbite.

Twinblades are pretty much the best status-effect builders in the game thanks to L1->WA and they still can't make frozen weapon useful.

>>166753128
It's because the game loads a certain number of bloodstains per area, but some of the areas only have one or two places where there's any chance of people dying.

If you load 30 bloodstains for FotFG, you have a nice spread of blood through the zone. If you load 30 bloodstains for Majula, you have 15 bloodstains in a pile next to the cliff and another 15 on the skeleton in the basement.

Doesn't really alleviate the fact that DS2 has those said gauntlets, if not more. The dash to Velstadt is a chore, the run to Aged Smelter is hair-tearing and the gauntlet to the Weeaboo is just... fucking kill me. Ancient dragon run deserves an honourable mention, because of the shitty drake "hold up, I need to reset my animations" keeper. Now combine that with the horrid hitbox, tracking, and phantom damage, it's just not okay. At one point, I stopped doing Smelter Runs, cause that was just fucking dumb. Even if you're great, you're still gonna mess up for some dumb reason like the Ashen warrior jumping at you or some shittier reason like that.

If you use the rusted coin, it also ups your item discovery by 50 for a minute, enough to do two cycles of farming (assuming you can kill the Ghrus in 2 attacks each). Once you get Patches at Firelink you can buy the coins for 200 apiece, you more than make it back through the souls you get from farming.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I got my Wolf Ring and shield in about 2 days, with about 3-4 hours total spent farming. Of course, this was after I'd already gotten OWCS, so call it around 5-7 grass per hour. Still took me far less time than farming dragon dudes at Dragon Aerie for the armor in SotFS, I managed to cap out my Awestones twice in the time it took me to get those Dragon Scales.

It wasn't meant to, the point is that all of the games have such areas.

The system specs and terrible optimization definitely might be some of the reasons there's fewer people around. I still get performance issues in certain areas, like Lothric Castle, that make the game borderline unplayable there. Not even framerate dips, but full on game freezes that last 3-5 seconds.

Most areas of the game are fine, but Lothric Castle legitimately stops me from bothering to replay the game.

So, any leaks from the Ringed City event? Apart from the February 8 embargo date

Is faith good for a sorcerer?

You can go for 3 quality builds and just play the game in easy mode, then. What's the point of asking?

>>166768321

He's a good snack.

>>166769618
Does anything that you use require and/or scale on faith?

>>166769418
My friends and I did a "challenge" co-op playthrough where we were each only allowed to level up two stats. It ended up making things pretty interesting.

>>166769320
That sounds awful
what's your cpu/gpu? I'm thinking about buying the game, the first area ran fine enough on pirated version but i obviously can't test later poorly optimized areas without going through half the game

>>166769618
12 faith gives access to the tinder, and the clerics candlestick for that matter, though the candlestick is kind of really bad

>>166769320
What exactly is the deal with that area ? I get the same freezes you mention there, despite the fps counter showing no changes. Same shit happens in some parts of Archdragon Peak.

>>166769752
Can you get players with dark hand? It seems so slow. I've never been able to get someone with sacred flame. Is that similar?

>>166769925
>Same shit happens in some parts of Archdragon Peak.
Yes, exactly!

It's like there are seams on the map that cause a fit of freezing if you cross over. It gets much worse when summoned/invading, too. I can manage it when I'm alone, but as soon as I enter someone else's game it goes to absolute fucking hell.

I think I've figured out why I like DS3's PvE the best.
There are fewer filler "free" fights compared to DaS and DS2

>>166769559
There were some supposed leaks a few threads ago, but they sound too good to be true.

>>166769320
I have gtx970 and i5 4690k and had literally zero problems with performance at 1080p since day 1. Rock solid 60 and never really dropped frames. So I always scratch my head why so many people have problems.

>>166769780
I did that with only one stat. I chose to do a sorcerer who only got ATTN. Named him Folbjorn the Font. My spells sucked, but I could do them all day. Friend went with END.

It was...fun!

k

something happened to nelson?

>>166769690
I was expecting using some fun weapons or cosplays
In ds1 me and one friend went to NG+3 with Ornstein/Smough cosplay and that was pretty fun

>>166769116
I rarely get that mid-air stagger.
I once got someone who rolled immediately below the flip

>>166770063
You mean shit like Gundyr, Vordt, Crystal Sage, Greatwood, Deacons, Abysswatchers, Wolnir, ODK, Yhorm, Aldrich, Ancient Wyvern, Oceiros and the Gravetender?

>>166770084
>i have top tier last generation gpu and cpu
>wow how do other people have problems?
stop being retarded

>>166769780
>one person goes att/fai
>one goes dex/end
>one goes vig/end

Doesnt sound all that difficult.
