There's no skull under that hood, you can clearly see it's a snout.

It's clearly designed to resemble darkwraith armor, but when you get down to the details you can see how everything about it that resembles the darkwraith set is twisted to be draconic instead.

If you were to ask a guy with an arts degree what the armor is trying to convey overall, he'd point out that the darkwraith's skeletal appearance is meant to suggest the inner nature of humanity exposed, and that this draconic armor set's similarity to it is referencing how humans can become dragons. It's actually very well done overall.

N-not that I wasted time on an arts degree or anything.

Should clarify, there's two different kinds of skeletons in art. A thin skeleton like the grim reaper represents death, whereas bones on the outside such as a skull mask and ribcage breastplate suggest the darker nature of humanity is on display. It's a "skeletons in your closet come out to play" sort of deal.

That's the lighting. Look at the bridge of the nose and the jawline. You can see the "bridge" goes way the fuck higher up the face than it's supposed to be, and the "jaw" distends way farther down than it ought to. Also, it's brown instead of white.

If that's a skull, then it's a dragon's skull and not a human one.

What will you pontiffposters say when Pontiff doesn't come up in the second DLC?

Because you're an Unkindled, a special Undead brought back for a special purpose.

>>168408597
except it's head is human shaped and any 'snout' isn't even long enough to be see poking out of the hood when viewed from the side.

trust me I want to believe but that is pretty clearly a skull, not to mention there is no elongated neck which has been a staple of the dragonform design throughout the games.

>>168408787
Because you're an ashen one, which is a different kind of undead. Ashen ones are what's leftover after someone tried to link the fire but wasn't good enough for it. Ash doesn't hollow, and the Ashen/FP flasks are specific to them.

>>168408787

>>168408914
You can't see the neck because of the hood, so there's no way to tell how long it is. When the player character is in dragon form in Dark Souls 3, their head isn't actually any higher up than it'd normally be because the neck curves over. It was in DaS1, but that's also why DaS1 dragons drank estus with their necks instead of their faces. So, any helmet on the dragonform would be at the same height as it would on a human form.

There is nothing human shaped about that head. Maybe it's something you can only see if you draw faces a lot and get a general feel for anatomy, but the proportions on it are all wrong. The nose and jaw stick out too far, the cheekbones are too narrow, that stuff. It only looks like it doesn't poke out from the hood because the hood extends a good six inches forward of where a normal human face would stop.

Usurpation of fire requires becoming the lord of hollows, and they both refer to the same thing.

Firekeeper stomp is end of fire, but it's an optional version of it and getting that version doesn't actually net you the trophy.

Whether it's good or not is... iffy. The age of dark is a temporary state, and fire will appear again at some point. The question is whether you think there's anything left in the world that's worth keeping, or if it's better to trash the whole thing and get a new one. AoA's DLC goes more in depth on it.

>>168411008
Well I mean from a design standpoint, we all know it was pretty shit for gameplay. Though I thought just having the dragon head was useful sometimes as a pure caster and not wanting to spend spells on little shit.

The item descriptions are about Ariadel getting tricked by Friede. The dialogue is about how keeping something alive for longer than it should be only causes it to rot and fester, and how it's better to burn it away and let a new one be born.

Seeing this gave me an idea, /dsg/

How would you feel if, in a future Souls game, they created a mechanic (perhaps an upgrade path) where the strength requirement of your UGS was doubled (or maybe 1.5-1.75 times the stat requirement, if that's too crazy) but replaced the UGS moveset with a GS moveset?

Would it make sense to increase the dex requirement as well, since you're technically wielding the blade with more finesse?

Das1 -> Das2 -> Des -> DaS3

>>168412076
If you do go back to the older games wait a little while after you're done with 3. I played through 1 again after a few month break of 3 and it felt fine, but went back to it for a moment a few days ago while currently playing 3 and it felt like complete trash from all the miner details in how it simply feels to play and handles.

The series has also gained some quality of life improvements over time as >>168412175 mentioned and it'll probably feel quite jarring to go in expecting them to then realise they're not there.

>>168413485
It's probably a combination of your build &/or weapon being shit and people pumping vigor early in the game. Invaders generally invade upwards so you need to build carefully if you want to invade. I get good Farronfag activity at SL30 with +3 or +4 weapons.

I can still get summons for gundy, friede, nameless and the bros without much trouble at SL 120, what sort of level can I go up to in those areas if I want co-op? What sort of level are they hit in NG+ too, even though I know it varies a lot

>>168414306
Are you asking what weapons to use the spell Lightning Blade on? Dragonslayer Axe, Drakeblood Greatsword, or Lothric Knight Greatsword. They all have natural lightning damage but are still buffable, which makes them really good for weapon buff spells. Drakeblood is a bit short and mildly shit, but also has magic damage for Darkmoon Blade.

>>168414347
Keep in mind that only applies to DaS3. DaS2 is either 30int/30fth or nothing at all since pyro scaling is largely nonexistent there, and in DaS1 pyromancy doesn't scale with jack shit period.

>>168414347
>Never really played a pyro in any Souls game

You're really missing out, pyromancy's always great. I'm doing an SL1 run of DS3 and I was having trouble with Aldrich so I switched half of my estus to blue and equipped great chaos fire orbs and killed him with those.

>>168414216

You can also infuse with dark/chaos some weapons like the war pick, lothric knight sword ect ect
Pyromancy is really just chucking nuke and sometimes hitting people with an op weapon, I find it fun.
With the upcoming dlc there will be a curved sword catalyst for pyromancer, I'm sure it's going to be fun to use

>>168414546
Buddy /mhg/ is two threads down.

>>168414546
Lightning infusion scales with Faith, reduces Strength and Dexterity scaling. Go 40fth for lightning weapon damage or 60fth for miracle spell damage, remember that your lightning-infused weapons can't be buffed by spells. Don't bother with Str or Dex if you're going lightning.

>>168414559
Anything that scales with Int and Fth simultaneously. Chaos or Dark infusion, Onyx Blade from the AoA DLC, that sort of thing. Builds in Dark Souls are actually simple once you know how scaling softcaps work.

>>168414559
>Fire broadsword
>Raw Astora straight sword

You may also want to look into Aldrich's sapphire for MP regen because passive MP regen sucks in DS3.

>>168414692

>>168414779
Miracles are fine if you're actually a pyromancer and just using them because you have the stats for them. It's only a problem when you're using miracles and nothing else, because they lack diversity outside buffs.

>>168414797
>Weapon scaling softcap at 40 while spells keep scaling up until 60?
Yes.

>Is this true for INT as well?
Yes.

Pyromancy's softcap is 40 in both stats instead and doesn't go up to 60. Chaos and Dark infusions are at 40int/40fth.

The Izalith Catalyst, Sunless Talisman, Caitha's Chime, and Crystal Chime technically hit their softcap at 45int/45fth and gain roughly 15-20% more damage for it, but this only applies to specific spells and isn't all that necessary outside spell access for the Crystal Chime.

That depends on how much you want to focus on a weapon and whether or not you want the extra cast speed that more DEX can give you. Speaking of DEX, the crow quills are a good option even for characters with minimal DEX.

>>168414998
>That thing has a real short range though.

Yes, but it has more AR and durability. I'm currently playing a katana cleric and I switch between a sharp uchi and a lightning black blade and it works well for me.

You get invaded by LUL and you know it's probably someone who's gonna shit all over you or at least troll the shit out of you. Also the MSH is underrated, it's like a better butcher's knife.

"When" is the operating term here, nignog. SL120 sure as shit isn't "when" if we're talking about casters who need to sacrifice 10-20 levels compared to refined builds for the sake of doing less damage less consistently.

Speaking of, the Black Blade is bad precisely because it's too short. There's a reason people use the Washing Pole, and it isn't because of its AR.

Replaying Dark Souls 1 really makes me appreciate its combat system. It's much closer to a clean duel at least pve wise for the most part rather than Dark Souls 3s more messy frantic rolling system. Fighting Gwyn without parrying and to a lesser extent, blocking is a great test of skill. Gwyn is agressive with most heals being punished but you never feel he's just spamming attacks in contrast with say Oceiros. Course you could argue that's deliberate lore wise.

That said, I feel the Dancer Of The Boreal Valley and Champion Gundyr as well as Nameless King (not the drake) boss fights are really good and play to Dark Souls 3s combat systems strengths. The rolling in those fights is deliberate and not just mashing roll (unless you're a scrub) which makes the whole thing tidier and also makes the fights have a nice rhythm to em.

Seeing as From has a boner for faster, sloppier combat after Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, I hope they take the time to remember that boss fights still need a rhythm to em. I haven't played Bloodborne but I'm assuming its boss fights are akin to Dark Souls 3, but with the sloppiness/messiness more appropriate thanks to your dodge and the rally mechanic?

>>168416419
Yhorm and the dragon take more damage to the head, most bosses are easier since you can just dodge back forever.

The only time dexterity investment is viable on a caster is over SL120, because otherwise you have to take those levels out of necessary areas like Vigor, Attunement, or Int/Fth. You're already giving up stamina just for the ability to attune spells.

>>168415938
Now if only From themselves would make the character limit just a tad bigger.

>>168416570
Yeah, I also appreciate the slower pace of DS1 bosses. Relentless bosses like Artorias are not really my favorite thing. Although I believe as far as DS3 is concerned, Nameless King is a good example of a DSI-style slow boss.

You're the only one getting autistic about meta shit and even then that's pretty much just your opinion.

>>168417269
>Since when is "fun" objective?
If fun is only ever subjective, then your subjective opinion of what's fun has no value to any person other than yourself. If fun is a thing that can be shared between people, this means there must be some objective elements at play.

A shittier build is definitely not on that list of objective fun.

So confused on the story so far, so basically there was a big fire and then bad dudes took it and made stuff out of it and that was a long time ago and now everything is really old but they cant die but they keep dying and go crazy but you are the chosen one to put them to eternal rest and everyone and their mothers want to get back inside the high wall for some reason?

This is the exact same problem I have with the raw DS axe. As much as I love the idea of it being a relatively fast weapon that has absurdly high damage for next to no stat investment, it's so goddamn hard to hit people with it because of how short it is. It's why I primarily use the man serpent hatchet and butcher's knife which are both long as fuck. Butcher's knife in particular is literally twice the length past your hand as other normal axes (millwood, battle, brigand, dragonslayer's, etc)

>>168415394

>>168417461
>If fun is a thing that can be shared between people, this means there must be some objective elements at play.

That's a total load, if that were true then everyone would like every popular game to some degree. Instead there are people who can't stand Souls, can't stand CoD, etc. It's much more reasonable to say that fun is subjective and people come together over games because they share the same preferences.

You not liking my build does not make it objectively shitty. At best you can argue that it's sub-optimal and even then that's assuming that whatever build you have in your head is actually objectively the best caster build.

Just watch the intro to Dark Souls 1 and it will explain mostly everything you need to know.

>and then bad dudes took it and made stuff out of it
They were not really bad dudes per se. Well, I guess if you are a Dragon fanboy [the dominant life forms from before the First Flame came to be] they were, but not to your average person.

Did you spawn them directly into your inventory?

You must've fucked up somewhere else, did it online or didn't do it properly via drop switching.

Normal soul items don't mark any flags like boss souls do, although considering how there are NG+ specific soul items, maybe those do have a trip.

I remember when From banned anyone with a 3rd party program. I wish they did that again but sadly they can't identify which program it is.

Still, it'd be amazing if they banned anyone for opening CE

Why can't they fix the hacker problem on PC Souls?

The world was originally grey and foggy, with dragons and archtrees. Then mysterious shit happened and fire appeared. The existence of fire divided the grey world into opposing concepts like heat, cold, life, death, light, and dark. From the dark came a bunch of zombie things stuck between life and death, and they found souls in the flame. These souls gave them tremendous powers related to these concepts, and gave them the strength to wage a war of extinction against the dragons and claim the world for their own. They then built kingdoms and civilizations and enjoyed a glorious golden age.

Gwyn's soul was called the Great Soul, and its lightning symbolized the sunlight. He had an army of knights that he trained to fight the dragons, and among them were his four strongest: Artorias, Gough, Ciaran, and Ornstein. Gwyn had three children, Gwynevere, Gwyndolin, and a nameless god of war who was stricken from the records for breaking a major rule.

The Witch of Izalith wielded the power of fire. She had many daughters, all of whom were witches like her, and at least one son. When the first flame began to die, she attempted to duplicate it by creating a second first flame but screwed up royally and produced a distorted fire that birthed twisted life and turned her and all her people into demons.

Nito oversees death, and his power relates to death and decay. He isn't shown doing much aside from disintegrating a few dragons and keeping watch over a tomb.

The Furtive Pygmy found the dark soul, and is the ancestor of all humanity. All the power of dark stems from him, and is in all humans.

The power of light is tied to the first flame, and when it began to fade Gwyn and the other Lords began to weaken while the dark began to get stronger. After learning what the dark really was and what would happen if the fire faded completely, Izalith tried to create a second first flame to keep it going but screwed up and made demons instead. Gwyn went out to fight the de-

Daily reminder that the fire is evil! Don't link it, be the Lord of Hollows instead.

>>168418590
Because most of the anti-cheat outside of banning people for impossible attributes targets things that you wouldn't even be able to identify if you encountered a person.

Like infinite i-frames or stamina is totally undetectable but spawning in a boss soul or titanite slab is.

It's not as perfect as 1 but it's still a vast improvement over the disgraceful Hollow form of the second game, which ditched the vaguely dry and wood-like skin texture for horribly generic zombie green

To fight the demons, more or less succeeded, then went out to re-fuel the first flame using his own soul. Before setting out, he divvied up parts of his soul among his followers and kin, which accounts for at least half the end game bosses in DaS1. Gwyn also told Gwyndolin to shepherd the humans so whatever he found out doesn't come to pass.

Gwyn's sacrifice worked, and the age of fire persisted for a time. The flame started to fade again though, and now humans are starting to turn undead. Undead are especially good at something called the Rite of Kindling and, conveniently enough, bonfires burn on their bones. But they eat souls and have an unfortunate tendency to go murderously crazy when their humanity runs out (humanity being their bits of the dark soul). So, the local religions have taken to rounding them up, flinging them en masse towards the general direction of the first flame, and hoping one of them gets strong enough to burn really, really well and make for a nice, long new age of fire.

That's more or less the plot of the whole series, except by Dark Souls 3 it's shown that linking the fire is getting less and less effective every time. Everyone is getting desperate, and even the ending scene suggests that your character linking it didn't really amount to much.

Why would you cheat for PvE? That seems to defeat the purpose.

Did ANYBODY?

Because after 300h I still find it fun to run the game with wacky builds but not going through 60% of the game to just get the items i want

>>168419215
>Gwyn also told Gwyndolin to shepherd the humans so whatever he found out doesn't come to pass.
I'm not sure Gwyndolin is acting on direct orders from Gwyn. I always got the impression that Gwyn instructed his whole court and subjects and knights to carry on after his departure, but they all either ran away and deserted him or went insane, with Gwyndolin as the only one who stayed loyal to the will of his father no matter what.
And Smough too, I guess.

At least in DaS2 the hollowing was gradual instead of everything at once like DaS1. Ideally you would have gotten 3's hollowing with 2's mechanics.

>>168419612
>There are no hackers in Bloodborne.

This is true, but savescumming for gems is rampant. Some of that is the game's fault though, farming truly great gems is nasty as hell.

>>168418070
Sub-optimal is shitty, though. It's just a polite way of saying it, is all. The fact that you completely ignore whatever you had to give up for however much dexterity you spent doesn't make your build worse than one that didn't bother with dexterity and just equipped a ring instead. What ring are you even using in its place? You don't really think that 1% boost is enough to offset 20+ spent levels, do you?

>objective fun
Try telling that to any media industry and see how well it works. Record labels, Hollywood, major video game developers, they study "fun" like other people study science. They isolate what makes a thing "fun" or otherwise enjoyable, turn it into a formula, and turn that into profit. Haven't you ever heard of the monomyth? It's a study of story structure over known civilization, and the common elements reused time and time again because they simply make for better stories.

Which is all beside the point. People come here every day asking why they can't beat X boss or have trouble in Y area, they're frustrated and aren't having fun because of it, someone plays build doctor and now the player is having fun again because now their build isn't actively working against them. Bad builds are objectively less fun than good builds, and the only reason to play them is if the particular kind of fun you're looking for is to beat players with shit builds.

Anyone else ever has the Ancient Wyvern fall to its death?

I just had it happen to me. At first I was trying to kill it with a speedrun strat plunge but kept fucking up and went for the normal route. I was just finishing up with taking out the first big axe snake and taking it slow when the boss just suddenly lost all its health and died.

>>168419759
It's unironically literally not.

If you give yourself a shitload of souls then unless what you want is for sale very early you're just going to level way the hell up and be powering through the game on your way to get your items, which still means that you'll be playing through the game without those items.

If you'd just spawned the items then you could play the game with the items.

You don't have to defeat the soul of cinder in your game in order to be able to buy the firelink set. If you get summoned as a white/gold phantom and defeat the SoC with someone else it'll be available for purchase in your world.

Useful if you want to keep him alive for the dlc but want his set without going to NG+.

Not really the point, that was just the example weapon he used.

Should i invest in a shadow dagger to keep in handy for backstab/backup in ds2?
I have a high int+faith build with 27 str for that sweet purple dildo action but i was wondering how much damage can i get out of that dagger, especially for critical attacks and backup, since i have low stamina and can't swing the crypt blacksword more than twice

>>168420706
I'm pretty sure the lowest you can is sl20 on a deprived character with knight's ring.
Almost questioning if it would even remotely be worth it.
