The two monkeys fighting on that pic is a natural result of FROM reacting to aotababies whining and the massive negative feedback, and reverting any possible good additions DaS2 introduced, I see nothing wrong with it.
DeS and DaS1 are simply irrelevant games now that noone even bothers to talk about here, and BB has it's own general. So yelling "WHAT WERE DEY THINGING" and jacking off to sulyvahn/mommy rosaria/painter loli is the only thing left for us.

Dark Souls 1 still had the best PVP. Invasions were better when they were cat-and-mouse games. Gank spanks are fun but I really miss when hosts were actually afraid of me and tried to avoid me instead of just spamming emotes at me with their fag squads.

Wish I could go back in time and play Dark Souls at release again. I just want to spend hours invading Upper Blighttown and ruining people's days.

>>168633593

Congrats pal. You're missing out on a great item (Leo Ring) but you can always get it in NG+. It only really matters if you ever decide to try piercing weapons.

Solaire is optional easy mode, though. But at least you seem sufficiently ashamed of yourself. Next playthrough, do it alone until you get it right. It's a great feeling that you are missing out on.

Weirdly, there's an unlisted distinction between staffs and longstaffs. Longstaffs have a higher STR requirement, more length for things like Flashsword, cost more stamina to cast with, and go on your back instead of your hip when two-handing. Unfortunately, they have the same shitty weapon art whereas Faith gets two different really useful weapon arts to choose from.

>>168634323
Well if you ever do try to solo it, I recommend it. The trick is learning to keep them both in frame at all times. If you can always see both of them, they're much easier to deal with. Having one of them leave your field of vision is what gets you killed. That's why they feel like such bullshit.

Also, getting close up to them is what you have to do if you're doing melee. Ornstein does less damage at point blank range, and Smough's hammer literally can't even hit you when you're hugging his gut. This is counter-intuitive because people's instinct is to be afraid of them and want to stay away, so you're rewarded for working up the courage to just rush at one of them head-on. One of the neat game design things about this fight IMO.

That felt like a fair compromise to the fact that invaders were usually strictly more powerful than hosts, though. At least in terms of the PVE experience of being invaded, it improved matters because you had to decide whether to deal with an unknown factor (the invader) or just suck it up and face the boss.

As far as you know. Since when did the Sable Church do anything explicitly sinful, anyways? As Yuria says, the gods are all gone so they're just passing off the First Flame to the last group left: humans.

You can force him to stay in Phase 1 (chug estus and he will do his overhand chop, this will make his sword glow yellow for like 30 seconds, this will prevent him from buffing it and going into phase 2, you can keep him in phase 1 indefinitely by baiting that attack)
You can force him into Phase 2 right at the start of the fight if you find that phase easier for some reason (Best Knight Raime hates Veldstad, equip dark macemans helmet and fumebro will buff his sword right at the start of the fight)
He likes to follow attacks up if you try to go for more than a single swing after a combo, his backhand is also among his more damaging attacks
He really likes punishing chugging, don't think running to the end of the arena will save you
You can roll through the fireballs his aoe blast creates

It's been working since the game was released, the youtube fag who "proved" it didn't was massively retarded and didn't know how to read what he was looking at.

Poise got an overhaul in the 1.08 patch. Explaining it takes massive walls of text. The general idea is that you have "poise health", enemy attacks deal damage to your poise health, your poise stat acts as defense for your poise health and reduces damage to it (rather than being your actual poise like in DaS1/2), poise is only active during great weapon attacks or big weapon arts, different attacks make your poise health shrink or grow (current damage changes proportionately but incoming damage stays the same) which makes them easier or harder to interrupt, attacking with a great attack resets your poise to 80% and using poised weapon arts resets it to 100%. If you have enough poise so that your 80%+poise is enough to not be staggered by your opponent's weapon, you can R1 spam against that weapon all day long.

>implying the crystals weren't just a byproduct of his research

Seath was looking for scales, not crystals. He just kept getting crystals anyways.

There's a stated relationship between crystals and souls, but clearly a crystal isn't literally a soul whereas the dark soul/humanity is a soul and physically mutates people affected by it. Until we see crystals mutate people instead of just stick crystals out of them, or until we see crystals produce actual life instead of golems and artificially produced creatures like the butterflies, your theory is nothing more than hogwash.

You're also trying to imply he was digging through darkroot to find the abyss, except we have no reason at all to suspect he was looking for anything other than more general knowledge on sorcery.

You both know there's already a statue of velka in the game, right? That picture doesn't look much like her, though. If nothing else, she's wearing different clothes, which is pretty significant in a game where everyone is apparently always wearing the same clothes all the time forever.

That does look like a wedding dress though, so the idea that she's Gwyn's brand new old daughter is pretty sound.

crystals are literally solidified, physical soul energy and honestly I thought the games did a pretty good job of expressing that.

I mean seath's crystal magic literally crystallizes your soul via curses, in both DaS1 and 3, curse otherwise being solely a dark status effect.

>Until we see crystals mutate people instead of just stick crystals out of them, or until we see crystals produce actual life instead of golems and artificially produced creatures like the butterflies, your theory is nothing more than hogwash.

>You're also trying to imply he was digging through darkroot to find the abyss,

when did I imply that? I was implying that seath was attempting to shatter and "drive wild" his soul, to replicate the "living soul" phenomenon manus inadvertently created, where the shards of his soul maintain aspects of his mental being and are capable of coalescing into sentient beings like nashandra and her sisters.

the game implies he was successful.

Has anyone actually tested the toxic cloud buildup after the supposed buff?

>>168638169
Also worth noting that if Gwyn sent his youngest daughter to fuck off at the end of the universe for all eternity, then humans shouldn't know what she looks like in order to make statues of her, or worship her at all.

In fact, there should be no stories of her to use as the basis for miracles because she's been hidden in the furthest reaches of reality since the dawn of time.

>>168639732

yeah because humans traveling away from TRC couldn't possibly carry stories of Velka such as Vow of Silence with them which include sufficient detail to make artistic depictions of her because that really never happens in IRL where we totally don't see shitloads of religious iconography depicting individuals for whom we have no concrete evidence of what they looked like in reality?

Imply does not mean state explicitly.

>>168640343

gwyn sent his daughter to fuck off in fucking Londo, literally every cultural aspect of humanity from dark wraiths to dragon covenant to the way of white has its heritage there. I know for a fact it's not velka, but your reasoning is still really wrong.

literally nothing about that sentence says seath was looking for oolacile. He was alive when the incident took place literally next door to him, he already knows about the incident. He was interested in what happened when manus' soul went wild and wanted to replicate it, which he very obviously did in some way. remember that soul magic literally didn't exist beyond oolacile's various simple conveniences before seath's research into it. It's not a coincidence that it was all replication of the hexes oolacile created.

>>168640615
>I know for a fact it's not velka

The "Purging Monument" being in the Ringed City would point to Velka having some connection to it, however. Whilst the chick with the egg probably isn't Velka (likely Gwyn's daughter, though), Velka is likely connected to the DLC somehow.

Purging Stones are her thing.

>I was implying that seath was attempting to shatter and "drive wild" his soul, to replicate the "living soul" phenomenon manus inadvertently created, where the shards of his soul maintain aspects of his mental being and are capable of coalescing into sentient beings like nashandra and her sisters.

But Seath would have no way of knowing Manus' completely screwed soul is capable of spontaneously rearranging itself into other sentient beings, and even if he had I highly doubt that would be of any interest to him considering Seath craves immortality above all, not giving birth to children.

As the creator of Soul Sorcery I'm sure Seath would need no inspirations or reliance on second-hand ideas to come up with its own immortality research, the same way I wouldn't expect the Witch of Izalith to need to ask someone else's opinion on the best way to handle fire.

>>168640974

Nah, I was joking.

It'd actually be interesting though if the dragons came back through some form of divine intervention outside of the typical "gods", and not bastards through sorcery and other experiments, and the previous "gray age of everlasting dragons" was returning with the dragon born of god.

I forget if he drops anything special, usually if it's special it's placed in your inventory instead of having to pick up the loot, so I'm guessing it might just be either generic loot stuff (mats, consumable) or part of the armor

If you look closely, it starts seeming less darkwraith-like.
It has curling dragon horns sticking from the elbows, back, etc. The armour has curved, grooved channels like the Dragonslayer Armour. It looks like the darkwraith's bone-texture just because low res images.

It's some kind of dragonkin knight thing.

>>168641353
Dragons coming back through divine intervention are a bad idea [there is no greater deific force than the First Flame, and it isn't even completely sentient], but I fully believe that the stone lizards in Archdragon Peak are proto-Everlasting Dragons whose existence has become viable again now that the First Flame is getting closer and closer to die off.

Like how its inception spelled the death of the Everlasting Dragons of old by causing widespread mutation and general degeneration in them [see Seath and Sinh].

>As the creator of Soul Sorcery I'm sure Seath would need no inspirations or reliance on second-hand ideas to come up with its own immortality research

soul sorcery did not exist before the oolacile incident, at all. the only sorcery that existed was oolacile sorcery, which consisted of daily conveniences like being able to repair objects. the first soul sorceries in existence were the dark sorceries spawned from the manus incident

>But Seath would have no way of knowing Manus' completely screwed soul is capable of spontaneously rearranging itself into other sentient beings

you can't assume he didn't know anything about humanity when he spent a large portion of his later years researching both humanity and the generic soul, to the point his findings drive everyone who understands them to madness, including himself. He clearly knew his shit.

plus, humanity doesn't just coalesce into sentient beings, it turns into sentient beings *possessing psychological traits of manus*, which is a major sticking point. This could easily be seen as a form of immortality, at least for the incredibly desperate like seath, with the added possibility that one's full mental state might return should all of the shards be brought back together (a main goal of the serpents in dark souls 1, reforming the whole dark soul).

Not much cause for using it over CCS/Follower sabre on a purely mechanical level, but the WA is way cooler and you feel like less of an ass.

>>168643460
Pretty great. Good reach and damage, weapon art is cool enough.

>>168643365
It's a big deal in general, it's more AR than most of the pure physical greatswords at 40/40 refined.

For reference, a refined 40/40 zweihander has 597AR while 2H, 5 AR more than this axe.

I think it;s a good concept because axes were sorely lacking an identity considering the main game ones are all basically straightswords but slower, with a shitty and inflexible moveset and slightly less AR. Trading moveset value for just being efficient damage machines is a sensible tradeoff and should have been implemented across all of the axes instead of just one of them.

>>168641292
It's a heavy gem.

>>168643893
Yeah, you're right. I'm just kind of butthurt how shitty the majority of weapons in DaS3 are. A lot of the time other stuff would be less ideal because of movesets, but it seems like in DaS3 they decided to make a lot of stuff just have fuckawful scaling in general and a less effective moveset.

I really wanted to do an Outrider cosplay, but the Irithyll SS is just trash =/

>>168644164
Im kinda butthurt at how great hammers arent worth over Greataxes or UGS

And one of the decent Great hammers takes nearly all your screen

>>168642838
Because the DLC is in large parts stuff that was supposed to have been in the base game DS2 before the game was scaled back a ton.

For example Shulva was supposed to have been in Shrine of Amana area instead of the Undead Crypt.

The only reasons why TRC couldn't be as good as TOH are problems inherent in the DS3 base game and the core of the game's design, I think that TRC could be close enough to TOH that comparisons don't matter.

I feel pretty ripped off by AoA tho' because it was 15 dollars and ToH was 20 dollars but AoA was maybe 1 third of TOH content.

Are you an overleved fuck or something? I've gotten my wolf curved sword in around half an hour, and I'm playing on PS4.

Still a little clueless about how Luck and Hollow infusion works, but I'm attempting a Bandit's Knife build nevertheless.

If I want to be SL120, what would you say I level my luck and dexterity to?

Yhorm's fight is cinematic and all but it kinda defeats the purpose of a Lord of Cinder being challenging. I didn't even use the storm ruler this time and Siegmund fucked him up essentially solo. Plus, for some reason Yhorm knocked me down several times yet dealt no damage to me.

Also, pretty sure people don't actually hit 30 until Abyss Watchers, which is the low end of your level range. If you're around level 25-27 then you might have better luck since the upward range is higher.

You want Luck at 40 but have to remember that a maxed out Hollow Infused item grants 5 (?) Luck points at a certain Hollowing level.

At least in DaS3 you can guardbreak people easily. DaS1 form had no uses apart from increased fist damage, and that was pretty bad unless you abused shitty jap coding to equip thorn gauntlets on top of that.

Okay I think you're having a conversation that I'm not a part of now since I didn't mention anything about performance. I own it on PC so that's what I'm playing it on nothing more nothing less. Apparently there are some limitations with my chosen platform and I'll just have to deal with that.

Ever since they've started introducing new children to Gwyn's family I've felt like all bets are off and absolutely nothing is off the table. It can be something completely unrelated to the plot and setting at large that just gets introduced in the DLC, like the Abyss Dragon, as well as it can be the third Sable Church sister, as well as it can be Ocelotte or Gwynevere or hey, they do the unthinkable and have you fight the Pygmy.

Who the hell knows.

>>168651719
It will be cursed undead from the SOTFS ending, by going to a place beyond dark and light they transcended space and time, becoming an interdimentional being which is how they could be gifted things in the past before they even existed

5-phase boss
1st phase is you against two bosses
2nd phase, another one joins in, whichever one you killed revives, and now you fight three bosses
3rd phase, the boss you defeat is absorbed by the new boss from the 2nd phase
4th phase, another boss jumps in and absorbs the one that hasn't been defeated yet and revives the one you killed, now you fight two bosses
5th phase: the two of them merge and you fight a single mega-boss

Is summoning phantoms for a boss cheating?

>>168651989
>third Sable Church sister
Don't you see her in the Lord of Hollows ending?
I don't think she is going to be as relevant as Yuria or Freida.

Also, why does Yuria want you to marry Anri. Can't you just marry her or her sister?

>>168652409
Yes, without doubt.
Summoning boss makes any boss significantly easier, unless your phantoms are retards that die early into the bossfight and you're left with a powered up version of the boss, but that's a rare occasion.

>>168652409
>is using a feature of the game cheating?

>>168652409
Meh. It makes it a lot easier, but it's not like you're exploiting something the devs didn't intend.

>>168651719
Fingers crossed for an old monk style boss of some sort in the DLC

>>168652507

Then is it cheating when the host summons phantoms to gank invaders?

>we will never see a boss that increases in HP exponentially and gains bullshit AOE moves designed to punish phantoms, the more phantoms you bring into a boss fight

I'd love to see a boss where it has 4 times the HP when you bring in one phantom, 9 times when you bring in two, and 16 times when there's a total of four of you. And then has a move that blocks all Estus for an extended period of time, just before going aggressive and specifically targetting phantoms with attacks designed to roll-catch.

>>168652446
It's implied the "marriage" is part of whatever ritual makes you capable of infecting the First Flame with Dark.

Supposedly their commitment to you does not necessarily extend itself to letting you stab her in the face if she can avoid it.

The guardbreaking in DaS3 was patched. It was only good if you used the roar with the ring that stacked with it.

thinking of trying out a bleed build, any tips? and how are they in pvp

>>168653045
Use Bleed-Infused Caestus and destroy everything in PvE and PvP.

>>168652695
Well, I guess I had to clarify that it's cheating if you want to claim YOU killed a boss. Because with phantoms that's obviously not the case.
>>168652852
>we will never see a boss that increases in HP exponentially and gains bullshit AOE moves designed to punish phantoms, the more phantoms you bring into a boss fight
Fume Knight kinda fulfills that role. His AoE covers the whole arena and he automatically targets any chugging player, usually following up with his retarded leaping stab that he can do from the other side of the arena.
Seriously, helping people with Reimu was almost as bad as helping people with early game Dancer.

well they made a big point out of ariandel being ash, it's quite possible that the other sisters are too, you have to marry anri because she's an actual undead which is what allows you to do what you do.

Why is DS3 not as good as DS1? I'm sure this looks like a bait question, but it isn't. I'm honestly and genuinely trying to put a finger on what it is about DS3 that disappoints me because I think it's objectively really good. It's just missing the magic of DS1. Can anyone help me out here?

>>168653330
You could probably ask 100 people that question and get 100 different answers. Personally?

1. I went into it knowing what to expect, in a general sense, so it wasn't as magical.
2. It's linear as all fuck, compared to DS1's more metroidvania layout.
3. They nerfed the fuck out of my favorite playstyle compared to DS2.

If you take the interconnected location memes out of the equation, DaS3 is objectively better in pretty much every regard. Better bosses with more varied movesets, more agressive and challenging regular monsters that can't usually be beaten by simple circlestrafing, more build variety, etc.

>>168653045

Go Hallow/Quality. Warden Twinblades, Onigiri, and certain daggers are your go tos.

>>168653330
teleporting bonfires from the start

the magic of ds1 was having to learn the world and plan your moves. even though it was a smaller world it felt like a massive undertaking to get some place you wanted to go and created a much better sense of achievement.

I wasn't referring to the literal magic spells but yeah I'm using miracles and while they're handy to have, they're not as good as I hoped so far.
