Alright, I think I've got this figured out. Maybe.
The Souls series, I've noticed, has some similarities to some of the Star Wars movies. Not saying they're equal when it comes to quality or anything, though.

>Demon's Souls = A New Hope
First big entry, obviously. The framework for everything else is right here, and it never really changed all that much. There's still fans that believe it's the best in the franchise.

>Dark Souls = The Empire Strikes Back
For better or worse, the one everyone remembers. Takes a lot from the first entry and rolls with it. Spawned that phrase that literally everyone knows. Believed by many to have surpassed the original.

>Dark Souls 2 = The Phantom Menace
Is it good? Is it bad? People will debate this shit forever. It's not quite the same, at the very least.
Has the stigma of introducing something so annoying that some will write off the entire thing in disgust. Regardless, has some cool stuff that makes it fun.
Somewhat vindicated over time, and by fans.

>Dark Souls 3 = The Force Awakens
A continuation that is, at heart, still really more of the same. Borrows a lot, but isn't necessarily anything that new. Anyone who's seen the others will note that it's heavily in debt to the characters and ideas of the other installments, probably more so than any other entry. Regardless, it's good enough to avoid being a total disappointment, and there's obviously plenty of new fans that came in because of it.

I don't know, maybe I'm just way too bored.

>Bonus: Completely unpatched Dark Souls 1 and/or 2 = Christmas Special
It's probably better off we forget this shit was a thing at one point. Christ, what a mess.

General: You'll want at two +2 rings to get the most from a caster, Southern Ritual +2 is from the second fight against a pretty average mid-game boss. Clear Bluestone +2 can be found after round two against one of the easier mob bosses.

Sorcery: Has probably the easiest start, you start with good offense and relatively easy access to the next trainer (only need to beat at most three areas). You also gain access to innate Magic weapons very early (as early as the 2nd/3rd boss). Access to the best stuff is hidden behind Ascetics, MLGS (extremely flexible in this game, you'll want it) requires you to fight one of the major bosses twice. Power-stanced Blue Flame is also good, but is end-game material. Only problem is that Faintstones can be hard to get via farming in the early game.

Pyromancy: Literally any caster can sub-class in it, it's very flexible. The spells can be a bit difficult to get, and they have shit range for the most part. Innate fire weapons are relatively few and far inbetween until the late game (some of the better ones are locked behind DLC), the Black Knight weapons are pretty okay but require investment in Faith.

Miracles: Shit in the early game, you only have defensive spells and not good access to innate Lightning weapons unless you're willing to farm. Lightning Spear is shit after all the nerfs, you'll have to wait for later versions to actually do well. Heals and status recovery are very useful to have in the early game (Caressing Tears is a godsend in the swamp area), and Homeward can save you some souls since it's a free Homeward Bone (those are literally limited purchase until you reach mid-game). Late game is better once you get Sunlight Blade.

Hexes: Needs loads of investment, but one of the best casting schools. Very little resists it, and early-game casts are plentiful with a trainer available early on. Not many great innate-Dark weapons, but they can be farmed. You can sub-class in literally every other class of magic.

Is Carthus Flame Arc worth putting the points in Int/Fai/Att? It's decent damage, but it takes up FP you can use for a WA and unless you like buffing, doesn't seem to add enough AR to be worth the time spent.

Hm... I'm thinking of sorcery or pyromancy, but I'm still not sure on how pyro scales.

>>167210575
Thank you, anon. Would you recommend a magic or enchanted MLGS for a sorcery build?

For pyromancy: Is Forbidden Sun still good? I like the idea of a close range nuke.

Miracles: So Sunlight Spear is decent? Would a lightning build be good with a buffed Lightning Thorned Greatsword?

Hexes: I'd rather not invest too much into those stats, so I'd avoid using these.

Are dual infused caesti good?

Pyro scales off both INT and FAI in DS2, so generally worth combining with either Sorcery or Miracles, for full-caster action.
>>
>>167211072

Yeah that works for me. How good are the bundles? It'd be neat to combo them.
>>
>>167210974
magic MLGS is generally gonna be what you want
enchanted does physical damage so it's good in the dlcs where everything has bigass magic resistances, but the magic projectile attack will do literally 0 damage since it's based on the weapon's magic damage only

infused caesti are shit, all their damage comes from the strength scaling and all das2 infusions reducesphysical scaling
>>
>>167210968
Man I miss DaS2 gestures. Another thing I hope they maybe add I know they won't, but a man can dream is the warp menu highlighting areas where you'd have the most active online. Having to ask in thread or check google whenever I want to know where is likely to be active for me is annoying.

Carry a bow and be prepared to use it occasionally. His self-buff move can be interrupted if you stun him, and a single arrow to the head is guaranteed to do so. Otherwise you have to run up to him and try to hit him as many times as possible.

If you feel like being a massive faggot, he only does physical damage with his attacks, so a greatshield with high stability can literally cockblock almost everything he throws at you.

Resins beat out weapon buffs unless you invest heavily into them, but doing so makes your phys damage lower. The only buff worth getting is probably Blessed since the reqs are quite low and buffs your phys ar nicely.

Clay is doable in pve but honestly straight swords still beat everything. Fending off invasions is ezpz with a SS since you just spam away and eventually they'll run out of estus

don't lose your souls ever

there's a ring that freezes soul gain and it's really early in the game so once you get that you can chill

as a general rule you want to only gain souls you want to spend (for things that are important), like leveling up, weapon upgrades, the aforementioned ring, etc

or you can just not care about pvp and do whatever you want

You ignore it since everybody fucks up their first character anyways. Everything from buying arrows for your bow, to buying upgrade materials instead of farming for them, to losing your souls via death, will inflate your Soul Memory needlessly.

The PVP in this game is more or less dead anyways. And the arenas match based on SL and not SM.

Reposting because build wasn't rated last thread.

So after careful thought I have put together a sequel character to Frostbit Halen to use in DS3 autistic OC description lore.

>The old cleric guard Halen, banished for his blasphemous practice of the chaos flame, was to remain trapped in time in the frozen realm of Eleum Loyce. Relying solely on his secret art to keep warm in the blistering winds, and wielding the sword of his fallen war ally, Halen became tired and bitter as he slowly froze over in that wretched land. One day, a dim light, one he had never seen before on his constant patrols around the castle gates, drew his attention to an ember-loosing portal made of dark flame, extremely cool to the touch. Quickly reaching through what he believed to be his escape, Halen found himself in yet another snow-covered land, at the church of Ariandel. He went mad, and threw himself onto his blade. After lying dead in the snow for an unknown amount of time, his soul ignited again, blackening his flame and splintering his sword into the same magical force. With his helmet and chime completely frozen over with ice, and his garbs whethered beyond repair, the reborn Halen, with hateful fruition, now patrols and defends his new found home of Ariandel.

Edgy.

I don't really think any of these apply so much as I think the pacing and direction of the DLC area as a whole was a clusterfuck. Nothing really felt that distinct from the main game and the many sub-areas all felt samey, the few good ideas weren't expounded upon enough, the new weapons clearly favored dex/quality builds in terms of actual effort put into them, and it didn't really add anything to the world of 3 as a whole or improved the base game enough to say it felt like a fitting area.

The lore was shit. I wanted some answers to pre-existing questions, not a bunch of literal whos that wouldn't matter to anything. The fact that the painting is just a alternative parallel reality isn't engaging nor new since the disparity concept is just plastered in your face again but with different premise for $15.

We just went in a painting to kink shame and kill a giant crow guy and your confidents' hot older sister just because some random old man told you to. To make matters worst, by the end of it all you get is a ty from a loli on writer's block.

I'm of the opinion that Oceiros and the garden itself have nothing to do with Untended Graves. It's just there as an excuse to be able to travel directly to Untended Graves.

Judging the rest from context, it appears that in the past, Champion Gundyr was meant to Link the Fire and become a Lord of Cinder, but arrived too late, so the First Flame faded and it became an Age of Dark. With no fire, there's no need for a Fire Keeper, and so she died. Ludleth then did some magic or other to bring back the First Flame and Link it, becoming a Lord of Cinder (time is convoluted, blah blah blah). Time passes, and then the main game happens.

Champion Gundyr, in his failure to Link the Fire in the past, lost his purpose. Then he was defeated by future you, and after Ludleth became a Lord of Cinder and brought light back, he took the Coiled Sword and became Iudex Gundyr, to judge Unkindled Ash as worthy of proceeding and Linking the Fire.
>>
>>167221601

But then why does Iudex Gundyr have that weird mutation? What precisely is it, other than the twisted changes brought on by the Dark? If Ludleth became Iudex, then who is the one we see in our Firelink?

Wouldn't it make more sense to say Iudex Gundyr is the failed champion in our world, whereas Champion Gundyr is the actual Gundyr who failed to link the flame? By that matter, why is Iudex impaled by the spiral spikes in our world? Is that to try and stop the spread of the mutation?
>>

Sirris only gets pissed if you use the Pale Tongue to level up within the covenant. Rosaria's other services are free game.
>>
>>167221601
But if the fire keeper has eyes, and the description of the eyes are that they are the eyes of the FIRST firekeeper, does that mean that the cycle of Dark Souls 1 is an old one? It couldn't be since we are fighting the original lords. How did the untended graves firekeeper acquire the eyes? Is Ludleth the first lord? What the fuck?

>>
>>167221837

I'm pretty sure the cycle of DS1 is seen as the original cycle (or, the second one as Gwyn kindled the First Flame), especially since Yuria references them in ages past.

I suppose the eyes of the first Fire Keeper were from before the time of DS1, who that Fire Keeper was I doubt we'll ever know. But it seems like Fire Keepers specifically must not be able to see, as perhaps the fading of the First Flame is allowing the Dark/Abyss to encroach into our worlds and they are the ones that can see it, and the future of the world without the Flame.

Honestly I have no idea.

>>167221795
Ludleth didn't become Iudex. Ludleth became a Lord of Cinder, and Champion became Iudex because he no longer had to Link the Fire.

Presumably, Gundyr took the Coiled Sword because he hoped to become the judge who would determine who would be worthy to Link the Fire next (that "who" being the player character). The mutation is just basic Pus of Man, one presumes that in his centuries (?) of waiting, he was infected and weakened by it.

The DS2 lore might be "lore", but I assure you that the world's greatest historians, storywriters and loremasters would agree in unison that DS3's lore is """""""""""""""""""""lore""""""""""""""""""""" compared to it.

Don't even dare to try and pretend DaS 2 is worse somehow, just because it left out Lordran from it's narrative.
>>
>>167221837
That line is bullshit. If Fire Keepers aren't supposed to have eyes, then Darkmoon Knightess wouldn't have been able to see or fight you, Anastacia would be even less capable of interacting with you (and her sight would have been restored by you returning her soul anyways), the old ladies in Things Betwixt wouldn't be able to see your face and recognize you as hollow, and so on.

And Ludleth is just some random fuck who didn't want to see the Age of Fire end. Supposing that he was a student of transposition, one could presume that he's also some kind of wizard who can do time magic to Link the Fire.

You cannot make a single argument as to how DaS 3 has a better plot and/or serving of lore than 2 does.

DaS 2 at least had a sense of a theme of depression. The story of Aldia and Vendrick. And it had an inter-connected lore between the many places of Drangleic. Nowhere near as interesting as Lordran and it's story of the gods in DaS 1, but come the fuck on. What does DaS 3 have? A bunch of inconsequential stories about the Pontiff and the bitchboys who don't want to link the flame again.

Is it worth leveling ATT just for more FP? I have 4 points free I can throw into something. I could VIG gouge, but it seems like maybe more FP for more WA would be better since I do end up using them.

I don't use FP for anything else, but the base ATT I have is so low I only get 3~4 WA off.

Are you sure about that? I just think hes trying to save face, i think he was forced to become a lord of cinder and link the fire from some of the things he said. Also he has no legs so...

He pulled his own legs off so if he would hesitate to link the fire once more like the other Lords, he wouldn't be able to flee. Probably because it was a horrific experience for him.

Bonfires for checkpoints is consistency and linking the fire is still important in DaS2.

I don't hate DS2 and I love every one of the games. It's just a different game, and definitely the outlier. And that's fine. It's nice to have a bit of a different experience, and DS2 had some great PvE experience because it had so much and was much more rich in lore.

They're all good games.

The problem of the direct sequels is that the internal consistency introduced in the previous games disappears and it breaks the immersion in a really nasty way, especially when DS3 takes the best fight of DS1 base game and goes all LMAO ILLUSION on it.

DeS, DaS1 and BB had great lore because they were internally consistent experiences.

I'm planning on getting all the achievements in every game (I already platinumed DeS and DS1, but I re-bought DS1 and will do that again) so I'll be playing Scholar again. It's not a bad game, it is definitely a bit goofy and had design flaws as every game has.

>>167228980

Every single one of the games has had a problem with very similar weapons and content being rehashed. Either that, or areas are so empty, bland and short.

I was able to read into a lot more of the lore in DS2 than any of the other games because it was way more blatant.

I'm not going to argue it isn't the worst, but it's not a bad game.

>DS2 had some great PvE experience
DS2's pve is a clusterfuck of fairly linear maps with only few early game exceptions, it's littered with bad enemy placement and generally feels like a chore to traverse because of how unimaginative and bland everything is. On top of that at least 90% of DS2 bosses are horrible. Nothing you can use feels satisfying because of how clunky animations look like. Those all are major deal breakers to me. After ivory DLC went out i don't remember doing a single full playthrough despite all my attempts to look at the game with fresh eye after both BB and DS3. It just feels and plays incomparably worse and for each thing it does right there's two things it does wrong.
>>
>>167229019

Why is your Vit so damn high and Vig/End so damn low? Why do you have CFA when you're a Faith build? You need to attune better spells if you want your ATT to stay that high.

If you need more equip load, wear the RoF and Havel's Ring.
>>
>>167229073
yes every game has similar weapons
but ds2 had too many weapons
most of them unused since theyre straight downgrades
for example, there are 19 straight swords, and most of them are almost exactly the same, maybe a different model, or slightly heavier
theres no point in variety when everything feels the same

DS2 goes into it way harder than any other game. Remember cool unique attacks DS1 weapons had like dragon king greataxe explosion? Well forget them for DS2. Wast majority of base game boss weapons have generic attacks with elemental effects slapped over some R2s. Even DS3 has much more unique WAs and WA variations than that.

Is Farron's Keep supposed to be the Undead Parish? I'm pretty sure this is where you ring the first Bell of Awakening.

farron's is an amalgamation of darkroot/ oolacile, not parish.

>>
>>167229495
It's Darkroot Forest which is pretty near to Undead Parish.
>>
>>167229432

Armour does a lot less than you think it does. Having something in every slot does more than wearing all heavy equipment, especially in PvP where resistances are capped.

You need a lot more End, especially if you use higher stamina usage weapons. You need more Vig so your health pool isn't tiny. You need a lot less Vit and need to wear lighter armour if you need that much Vit just to get under 70% WITH RoF and HR.
>>
>>167229495
Yes. There's further evidence of this as you find Dusk's set and the remains of the mushroom people in the level.

>>167229563
>Darkroot/Oolacile, not Parish
But Parish is right next to Darkroot so technically it could very well fit.

I thought Elizabeth didn't die, rather she went wild and devolved like the rest of Oolicile's golems, into animalistic creatures after a few generations.

>>167230104
You find her dead in farron swamp.
It seems that she indeed survived for a long time. She knows oolacile magic after all so she could chameleon into something else. But poison is what killed both her and mushroom people.

I wonder what happened with Alvina. No way scheming fat cat would just die so easily.

Why there's demons serving humans?
Are they sentient enough to understand orders?

I always assumed the plot exposition cats of the DaS series like Alvina and Sweet Shalquior were minor gods taking on the form of wildlife to blend in and aid the undead. Kind of like how Velka can become crows.

outside of the usual covenants ds3 did nothing special
Mound-makers were a flawed concept because after 2 weeks everyone already knew what they did. If they actually spawned as normal looking white phantoms and invaded without the warning or something then maybe they'd be interesting.

watchdogs and faithfuls are basically failures of the forest covenant.
watchdogs for being in a location nobody plans to revisit, and faithfuls being in a location that just encourages people to be massive faggots.
ds1 had the actual good forest covenant, and gravelording was unique and cool,

ds2 gave us bell keepers, another good forest covenant-like, champions, which gave you access to 'hard mode' right from the start, and rat covenant which was basically gravelording but done in a more straight-forward way. There was also PoD but thats more of a side-quest thing.


So basically, no. Ds3 covs weren't better.

Your opinions. I much preferred the forest.

Either way it doesn't change the fact ds3 only has 2 decent new covenants.

>Mound-makers were a flawed concept because after 2 weeks everyone already knew what they did. If they actually spawned as normal looking white phantoms and invaded without the warning or something then maybe they'd be interesting.
Being whites in disguise were never their thing though. They complete their task by killing a certain number of phantoms (usually one) or the host. Considering the amount of bonus hp and estus, it's universally easier to go after the phantom. Usually even more so when it comes to reds, since the odds usually already are stacked against their favour, but not necessarily: they simply have to focus the player with lowest life.
They even sort of give you a reason to go after other purplefags as well, by giving double the shackles, although that's kinda redundant, since the covenant rewards are meh.
>ds1 had the actual good forest covenant
No, the faithful and watchdogs have much stronger backup when it comes to mobs. The increased player count also allowed for much larger scale battles.
>and gravelording was unique and cool,
It was absolutely stillborn, don't try to sugarcoat that.
>ds2 gave us bell keepers, another good forest covenant-like
It was alright, the gnomes were slow as fuck but their damage was really good.
The host could easily fuck you over in luna though if you didn't have the cat ring by simply abusing fall damage.

Fuck off, Friede manipulated the good father into letting the painting rot. All it's inhabitents wanted the painting to burn.
>>
>>167233542
I think he was straightforward to the player about the painting, he didnt lie about the painting or anything, even the corvian ask you to burn everything; I don't really know why Gael is interested in the painting, it has probably to do something with his "niece"
Though I do agree he is shady as fuck
>>
>>167233676
>Just say "I never played ds1 on ps3".
Forest allows like 2 foresfags and 1 red in the world at the time, and even that was rare even when the forest was super active.
Both invasion areas in DS3 allow 3 covenant members and potentially up to two reds exist at a time.
They are objectively more active thanks to the amount of people present at a time, not even counting how much dried finger in DS3 increases your invasion priority making a stream of invaders virtually non-stop even at the least active hours of the game.
>>
>>167233542
By "my lady" he clearly meant the painter loli, which stands above the painting. He's simply exe-cute-ing her will.
>>167233924
I think it's pretty obvious that we're going to get an alternative ending where painter finishes her work and makes a portal to a whole another world. And she needs the flame AND the dark soul for that.
>>
>>167234046
>making a stream of invaders virtually non-stop even at the least active hours of the game.
So you didn't played das 3 too
>>
>>167234097
This raise even more question, if she needs the dark soul, how did Ariamis painted his world? I don't think he had acess to it
>>
>>167234097
DLC2 being set after Flameless Shrine is a good way to introduce new endings because you're already done with anything but SoC and you can walk out of his boss room after you destroy him without triggering the endings.

It would be cool if there's at least two new endings, one of which being accepting the Dark Soul into yourself and becoming a Souls equivalent of WoD Caine.
>>
>>167233847
>Being whites in disguise were never their thing though

which is exactly why they were shit and uninteresting. You're doing nothing but telling me what they do, I know what they do. I don't get enjoyment from just taking out a shitter phantom, I want to kill the host. It's a downgraded red with a useless gimmick when summoned. They should have been more interesting.


>the faithful and watchdogs have much stronger backup when it comes to mobs
Which would be great in a game where you weren't constantly against 3 players + a blue every 30 seconds.


>It was absolutely stillborn, don't try to sugarcoat that.
Got gravelorded all the time in ds1. Dunno what your point is supposed to be. Eventually it died down sure, but it was pretty active for the first year.
>>
>>167234171

Did Ariamis actually make the world, or did the painting come to be when Priscilla's wish to have a place to belong came true? I really don't know, but it's possible that From just wrote more lore about it and at the time didn't think about the dark soul or the flame as the engine.

It's also possible the painter is not as strong as Ariamis, as Ariamis painted during the time when the First Flame was fully lit and the painter is trying to create the world with only embers left of the First Flame.
>>
>>167234171
I think the painterloli is working on a whole another level, she's not making a demiplane for refugees but rather working on solving your usual cycle trash as a whole.

Personally, I played at launch and was absolutely garbage and would try and remain in human form so I would have more health as much as I could, and while I did get gravelorded, it was far from often. It was the least active covenant, I saw more blueberries than I did gravelords.

There are plenty of people of PC, you just have to understand how leveling matchmaking works to get the better of it (if you have a +5 weapons in the Undead Settlement for exemple you will not find a lot of people )

Raw ASS will get you through the game, it's pretty ridiculous. I usually make a fire broadsword to have access to a fire weapon early and it's often replaced with a chaos longsword or a chaos sabre. The Onyx blade is a pretty good option if you want a larger weapon and the Carthus curved sword is good and thematically appropriate but has high stat requirements.

>Is giving Pyromancy worth giving a go
Yes. It's the best pyromancy in series and probably the best casting school overall and that comes from someone who really loved arcane in BB.
>Which pyromancies do you use the most?
Vestiges is the single best nuke pyromancy has. Chaos Orb deals higher total damage, but is slower.
Fire Surge is for the chip damage. Doesn't have much use in pve aside from staggering pus of man and dogs for zero FP cost.
Black Flame is a great melee distance pyromancy, with Parting Flame it becomes as ridiculous as fully powered DS1 black flame. Also extremely good in pve against anything weak to Dark.
Black Serpent is a pvp spell that opens up a lot of mixups.
Boulder Heave is a cute little pyromancy that breaks guard of all shields in pve with a single cast, does a solid aoe damage and huge poise damage.
Profaned Flame is useful for setting up a delayed mine on a ground, unlock and cast it near your legs, run away, pursuers will get fucked by it.
Toxic Mist is good for poisoning all that can be poisoned, though Storyteller Staff has a better poison.
Bursting Fireball is surprisingly good for finishing up opponents on low HP as it shoots a fire spray with seemingly lingering hitbox so it catches on rolls.

Ignore aoe pyromancies as they are shit, unfortunately.

For weapons, Onyx Blade and dark-infused Longsword/Estoc are the best choices. Witch Locks has a ridiculous WA but needs 17 fucking DEX to use. Dark Hand is excellent on low levels. Pyromancer can also use MLGS if he needs magic damage and gargolye flame spear but it needs a huge phys stat investment.
>>
>>167240503
Yes, but you need to fight at SLs with a lot of bad players like in the webm.
Either go high SLs and use GFS, lothric knight sword, or go lower ones with longsword and estoc. Onyx at either.
Less popular but usable ones are witch locks, hand axe, corvian or estoc.

GCFO isn't very good in PvP, but you have a lot of retards like that in the webm that just walk at it. Vestiges damages as much as it does on top of being faster, the only downside is the loss of lava and that you can't angle it over certain areas.
Surge is pretty broken and you can defeat players only using it, it's also pretty much uncounterable.
BF is just like in 1, so it's good.
Serpent, whip, and pretty much everything else are kind of there and are bad, but you can use them at low SLs to bully shitters which is funny.

Mad phantom signs really should be white like the rest. Thats what would set it apart from other covenants and might actually make scrubs think twice about summoning a million phantoms to carry them through the game and gank reds. Instead we just get grape flavor darkwraiths which even reds attack on sight.

You may not have heard of them, but you are benefiting from some privileges only because they made it possible.

That's why they are fitting pillars. Pillars don't shine or show, they are just there, in the shadows, holding the community together. Even a well decorated pillar is usually ignored or just taken as part of the construction as whole.

These guys >>167204413 are more like statues or fountains. They serve no purpose, no benefit. They are very apparent but have no use, if they are gone nothing of value will be lost, they are just faces. Sure they stand out, but the building is just fine without them.

It's still heaps more fun than the regular darkwraithing. You get occasional PvE even from people that know about the whole around-grape-expect-rape ordeal, although they usually try to backstab you when you're low on life (and rightfully so). It's also easier to pull mobs if host is being a meanie camper with his ganksquad. Changing sides when the invader finally arrives - and that doesn't take long, considering you count as a white for all intents and purposes - is also great fun.
I personally think it's unique enough to justify it being a separate covenant. The
>Mad phantom signs really should be white like the rest.
gimmick should've been the general effect of the white ring, but that'd be too fun for FROM, apparently.

Eh, that would be far too easy. If you could just come in with Untrue White Ring and assassinate the host, then there would be no point in invading. Even if people stopped trusting white summon signs, they would just purely summon Sunbros instead since they know for sure that that guy isn't equipped to the purple covenant.

I'm not a fan of ganks either, but for the sake of consistency and challenge I don't like the idea.

That would be even worse. Then a host would just summon a couple Sunbros, gather around a suspicious white sign, and gang-rape upon entry. And if it's not a purple then just BC him out and find the next sign.

All they really need to do is integrate boss invading into the standard purple repertoire. Purples already have it harder than red invaders in that they also have to watch out for mobs, just add boss invading as the trade-off.

Because people come and go to the general according to what the majority prefers.
/dsg/ is now mostly PC players, for example.

Yeah faith is ass besides soul appease which still obliterates hollows.

Any playthrough of DS2 should just be hexer/blue flame sorcerer/bone fist for a unique experience. Else you may as well just play the other Souls games and spare yourself the floaty movement.

I was here during the DaS2 launch and the summer afterwards, during which the /dsg/ activity peaked, and the DaS2 bullying was fairly timid, mostly because the fast majority of people here were playing DaS2.

Gwyn consciously decided to split his own soul. It also never produced new entities, just gave more power to existing ones.

If Manus is capable of doing the same it should be a conscious choice as well, as well as his decision to take over the kingdoms this way. But he's mindless, only driven by his wild nostalgia.

I'd be surprised if they did so before the next DLC dropped. We're probably just going to get a mega patch with the DLC, IIRC that happened with both previous games.

They don't need to patch boss invasions because you can just use black crystal.
>>
>>167250392
no, you need to do appreciable damage during invasions. That or be mobile and use the level so that they don't get near you. The chip damage strategy won't work except in the first couple areas though because you're dealing with a host who has an ember, a bunch of estus, and absolutely no hangups about constantly summoning and resummoning a barrage of guys who will overcome any mechanical advantage you may have with inexhaustible numbers.

so nah, great farron dart isn't that great in invasions. try a crossbow.

Also the CU never killed Gwyndolin and apparently never got really good at pyromancy either. The only reason DS1 didn't have anything like that is because it was a spiritual successor and not a sequel.

Gwyndolin being alive doesn't fuck up the lore as much as Manus somehow producing conscious beings from his own soul, all knowing about their "father" and tied together by same agenda.

Guys what if the painter real identity is Ornstein's Plume

Whats up with Corvian settlement and its fucky invasion placing?
I consistently invade inside the settlement itself while the host is nearly at the fly cave

Well nothing particularly points to the soul itself being an illusion. Remember that souls are detachable to an extent. Gwyn and the Pygmy both fractured their Lord Souls, and Vendrick completely abandoned its own behind.

Don't invade in the Settlement, always invade in the beginning of Ariandel and drag the host all the fucking way through the DLC, it's some of the best invasion experiences in series.

>fragments of the dark want to bring about the age of the dark
Damn son absolutely lore shattering.
It's literally just coalesced humanity seeking food, but a step up from the eels.

I dunno man I'm not seeing how fragments are any worse than literally bringing fucks back from the dead or Age of Deep Bloodborne shit.

You ain't wrong, but you get his ring too.

Manus doesn't want anything aside from his pendant.
He also had no "aspects" aside from his desire to find the pendant.

Same thing happened to me, not sure how i fixed it, just let the game startup and it should switch to borderless fullscreen by itself, dont minimize or alt+tab while the game is starting up.
