The idea of invasions was always: you have this benefit that you lack at the start (human form), you need to go out of your way to activate it, but in turn you'll be invaded.

2 throws the concept out of the window, a player needs to inconvenience themselves (go offline, burn effigy) even if they already are in a non invadable state.

They should just give everyone a way to turn invasions and coop on/off at will after a boss is killed, like dried finger should be

I have a dilemma, /dsg/.

I want to finish Sirrus and Leonhard's quests.

Apparently to finish Leonhard's quest I need to give Rosia a Pale tongue then kill two bosses, and to finish Sirrus' I have to kill Spin Doctors.

The problem is the only bosses I have left to kill are Nameless, Dragonslayer, and Doctors.

Wat do?
>>
>>168849464
You don't have to kill any bosses for Leonhard's quest last I checked - just hand in a tongue, talk to him, and reload the area. Do the yaoi princes, finish up Sirris, then do Leonhard's.

is dark souls 3 still active pvp and coop wise through the main game?

when it came out I picked up a copy and never ended up beating it due to being burnt out from too much des/ds1/bb run throughs. Kind of feeling an itch to restart and actually beat it but if there's no one to invade me / other people to invade / people to co-op with what's the point

>>
>>168849847
None are currently planned
And yes, Vicars was the last one.

Part of the problem with events is that, unlike DaS2, /dsg/'s active community for 3 is fucking nothing. It's the same half-dozen or so FC regulars and another handful of irregulars. When we hold a themed event it just turns into a run-of-the-mill FC with the exact same group of run-of-the-mill FC regulars. but this time with a slight theme. Most of the regulars can't even be arsed to make a new build to fit an event theme (or are too insecure about losing their videogame E-identity for a moment) and so just bring their normal FC character with some slightly different armor.

Vicars was the only worthwhile event we had for 3 and that was because it was something completely different from the usual FC duel shit. DaS2 events only worked because the game had such a following on /vg/ that we'd get practically a hundred people for the successful ones.

also DaS2 was easier to build varied characters and still have something that works.

do something there instead. DaS2 had some great events

Protip: 2 hand it.

The 2H R2s are insanely powerful (really high modifiers) and combo into each other (one of the few weapons with combo-able R2s) AND the R2 roll attack auto-tracks enemies. If you roll immediately after someone else rolls, then roll attack, you'll auto-hit them as long as you both rolled in vaguely the same direction.

>>168850772
I don't really understand it myself.
DaS3 ended up with a much smaller following here than two had, despite having a generally much more positive reception.

It may just be that 2 was popular at a time when there weren't many other online action games for people to waste their time with. Long-term players are probably all busy with Overwatch or something instead now.

Basically poise is important now if you're using a hyper armor weapon
Different types of weapons have more effective poise modifiers, for example with a 2h hammer (they got massively buffed and have poise now) you will find it hard to tank greatswords, but a great hammer user can tank anything probably
Halberd poise got fucked
Greatswords have always been good and they got a speed buff + poise system favors them

>>
>>168851583
The difficulty is highly exaggerated
The game is surprisingly linear and shorter than any of the souls games
The combat is a lot less stylish than it seems and most weapons function just like DaS3 straightswords.
If you struggle at camera control then you will naturally miss all of the important visual storytelling and narrative cues that make the game's story what it is.
The plot is basically just grimdark Flip Flappers with less lesbianism.
It's the least replayable rpg fromsoft has made

It also happens to be the best singleplayer experience by a country mile. I can't say enough good things about playing through this game blind and slowly piecing everything together, but I think you'll only get as much out of it as you're willing to put in.

Heavy is bad on almost every weapon outside of a select few.
Sharp is likewise
Raw is a time-limited infusion that becomes obsolete about halfway through a first playthrough
Fire is the same as raw
Deep is the same as Raw and Fire
-Deep and Fire are even bad earlygame against most targets because enemy split defense ruins their damage unless they have a huge weakness to the damage type

Poison is so bad it literally ruins weapons and a downgrade to rotten resin
Blood is a direct downgrade over rouge
Hollow is just a less efficient Refined
Chaos, Lightning and Crystal are all trash because split damage and not enough split damage to matter, but also no way to boost that split damage because they're unbuffable
Simple being literally worthless
Blessed being worthless for weapons and only useful for giving regen (a faith-based gimmick) to non-faith builds with 0 tradeoff since none of its penalties influence the effectiveness of a parry tool.


The game basically has 2 infusions that matter: refined and dark. The latter is just the former but can chip shields.

>>168852597
>>168853193

I always thought that if you built you build a certain way, an infusion would outdamage a naked weapon. Like say a Crystal infusion for a sorceror. You might get more damage from refined but for your build, it's the strongest non-buffable thing. Am I wrong?
>>
>>168853474
buffs are always intentionally stronger than their equivalent infusion, it's the trade off for permanence but unfortunately makes them trash for PvP

magic weapon/blessed weapon/etc. is always better than an infused weapon. the benefit of an infused weapon is that it's permanent and free.

>>
>>168852908
Because japanese game dev studios have to pitch fundamental design changes to a committee of sponsors (including the publisher) and get approval before they can go through. Actually organizing a meeting is a difficult and time-consuming prospect, especially after primary development has completed, and isn't considered worthwhile for minor things like balance.

Frost was approved in a particular design state (reduce defense and stamina regen) but encountered an issue in implementation where any meaningful amount of stamina debuff was too unforgiving and so was nerfed (probably at the behest of the publisher). Since nerfing it is part of fulfilling their contractual obligations as a developer, they don't really have a stake in making it useful again.
>>
>>168853474
Split damage is trash, they also don't allow you to buff, so lightning will never be good for a faith build because he won't be able to stack it with lightning blade to make it almost useful sometimes
Raw has its use if you keep your str and dex at a minimum, otherwise refined is almost always best
>>
>>168853657
Most hollow weapons need too many stats to beat refined.
Carthus rouge is worth more than 99 luck
>>
>>168853657
Luck doesn't actually give you enough more bleed buildup to reduce the amount of hits it takes to trigger the effect by 1, so it might as well not exist.

And hollow weapons don't refocus existing scaling towards luck. Instead they add a paltry amount of luck scaling on top of it. Hollow builds still require both strength and dex to get damage, which basically just makes them glorified quality build that in some cases reach a slightly higher max damage than refined at the cost of like 30 extra levels.

My personal theory (which is based on next to nothing) is that the primordial serpents are merely individuals that managed to ascend to a form that can survive the periodic extinguishing of the flame with their minds intact. Because of that trait they are able to appear when the flame shows up again and try to guide the "mortals" into doing a part in some long game they are playing. Maybe they're trying to shake things up and have the age of fire end or get prolonged based on different parameters just to see what happens.

They also remind me a lot of how Aldia appeared in DaS2. Aldia essentially reminds me of a proto-primoridal serpent. He also appears suddenly from "somewhere else", like a giant head to convey sage wisdom about the flame and darkness and guide the player.
Maybe Kaathe and Frampt are like Aldia but a more advanced form which can survive longer.

New to dark souls 3 here, played all previous titles excluding demons.
Im at the area right after the pontiff, and see tons of summons sign and bloodsplats so I figured its a pvp area. Im SL60, 25 str and 25 dex, with a +6 claymore.
Any fight I get into I do 130ish damage per attack, but anyone I fight is two shotting me with hits of 500. If I try to progress in the area, without a dried finger, Im invaded by two or three aldritch invaders who also gangrape me.
Have all these people gone and maxed their weapons early somehow? Im getting my shit handed to me no matter what.
>>
>>168853923
>>168853927

Yea true but I still like the idea of zombie builds even if they aren't as efficient.

The luck bonus is 5 per maximum upgraded hollow equip. So you can have +10 with left and right handed equips.

>>
>>168854443
I have no idea what affects bleed buildup besides the rogues
>>
>>168854278
Their stuff isn't maxed out, matchmaking in the game takes into consideration what your highest enhanced thing is. So you're highest is +6? Then anyone invading you can't have anything better than a +8 weapon or a +4 unique weapon (those kind of weps count as double). I think the reason your damage is gimped because you're at 25/25 and it might have been better to try to just go all the way with one first and then the other. Also don't be afraid to use any resins for more damage too.

Also to answer your question, yes, the area after Pontiff is "the" PvP spot. The area as a whole also acts like the Forest did in DaS1, hence the Aldrich invasions.
>>
>>168854084

dark souls 3 really dropped the ball when it comes to NPC's. unlike in DS1 where the NPC'S are doing their own quests and you meet them along the way, their quests will not continue in any way unless you actively seek it out, which in some cases requires you to reload the area.

Well thanks for the info. Didnt know weapons went into account with matchmaking.
I went 25/25 as Im doing a quality build but as its my first time going through with absolutely no knowledge of the weapons in game I wanted to see if it would be better to lean dex or str once I had a decent selection of weapons.

My friend who isnt the most knowledgeable stated that dex quality os generally better though due to how refined gems work, is that true?

different enemy and loot placement, (mostly common sense enemy shuffling- eg heide knights are in heide's tower, stuff like that- a few level tweaks, (mostly affecting progression- in general, the pacing and power progression is better, Wharf now has a shortcut in exactly the spot you always thought there should be one, Tseldora is 500% more unnerving, pic related) a few light graphical tweaks, (game is sharper looking, dark areas are dark)

also, to access the DLC, instead of starting the game with the keys, you find them as you explore the game, hidden throughout.

IMO I'd say it's the better version of 2.

Mind you it has at least 2 questionable changes- Iron Keep has dubious enemy placement and aggro range- and Drangleic Castle has a miniboss that feels out of place, but overall, it's worth it.

in fact, Drangleic castle now has another unique gimmick that is actually really interesting and adds to it's spooky factor.

The new white phantom NPC's run circles around the default invader NPC's, and there's a new NPC invader who is fairly interesting, overall, NPC AI is way better, (as good as it was in the DLC, basically)

overall i'd say its worth it, but thats up to you. pirate it first if you're not sure, then buy if you like what you get.

Bloodborne is exceptional. To me it's the only Souls game with no terrible bits (Except if you count the randomly generated chalice dungeons and even then those aren't THAT bad.).

That said, it takes a different mindset than Souls, and like every Souls game it does absolutely fuck all to teach you or encourage that mindset except for throwing a boss at you that is incredibly easy if you figured out the mindset and lol you died if you didn't.

Basically the game rewards aggressive, fast play and dodging into enemies to keep attacking and punishes violently any backstepping defensive play. There are dozens of attacks that hit anyway if you roll back or backstep and almost none that punish aggressive side-forward dodges in
>>
>>168855457
Some of the changes in scholar were so minor but made the game so much better.
The duelfag dragons in Dragon Shrine just watching you fight and ganking you if you tried to run, the layout of tseldora going from dull monster closet to spooky spider fuckfest, the Alonne army coming down on you like an iron fist. They weren't huge fundamental changes in theory, but they completely remade the way it felt to play through some of those areas.

I think at the level you reach, Dex is gonna be better by like 20 attack at best. Not a huge deal. Plus, you can pretty easily respec so don't sweat it.

The only ones I can recall off the top of my head are Lucatiel's, Benhart's, and Pate/Creighton. I'm pretty sure they progress naturally as you yourself progress through the game, but Lucatiel and Benhart have to be a summoned for several fights and they also have to survive those fight in order for their questlines to be completed.

They're mostly tanky enough to deal with it. The only exception being Lucatiel while fighting the Rotten.
>>
>>168856467
I don't hate the enemy placement so much as the enemies themselves. It's a giant fucking army of tanky weeb knights who are incredibly fast and aggressive, and don't stagger easily. You thus basically poke your head out and kite three of them away from snipers over and over until you can make the boss, and if your play wasn't perfect you probably don't have enough juice left to be confident in taking on Smelty (He's not especially hard but let's not disrespect him too much.). I've played about 4 or 5 times and never cleared Iron Keep without genociding a bunch of those weeb fuckers, except of course my CoC run.

pretty much this
playing through that area feels like you're playing some shitty MMO with the amount of aggro management
you can't just walk forwards until you reach melee range of an enemy because if you do that the 3 assholes behind him will also start running at you for a gangbang

what you actually have to do is walk until one knight 5 miles away notices you then stand still, wait for him to walk all the way up to you, fight him THERE, and then move forwards

Honestly Hawkwood questline was this close of being one of the best

ditch the dragon bullshit
make so you have to talk to him on the tombstone to get the farron ring after defeating the abyss watchers
the next boss you defeat, he disappears, his shield is on the tomb and the farron sword there is gone
if you have his shield, he'll challenge you at the abyss watchers arena
killing him grants the Hawkwood's Farron GS
being killed by him boosts his shield so now it drastically reduces FP consumption on WAs
his Farron GS has the lunge in the L1, instead of the parry

The NPC quests in Dark Souls 3 actively detracted from the game. There's already a big problem with linearity, and the npc quests make it worse. Want Greirat's lothric castle loot? Then you're doing Pontiff before even setting foot in Irithyll dungeon.

Oh, no, yeah, I'm not dissing them or anything, although it is pretty annoying keeping them alive. I do miss the "evil" NPCs like that guy and Mephistopheles, though. DaSIII kinda did that with Yuria, but she only has you kill Orbeck. It would have been a nice throwback to have her ask you to kill more NPCs like Morne, Irina, Cornyx, etc.

seigmyer vs plant monsters in izalith which is basically impossible to do right unless you know ahead of time what to do, and is also very easy to break the quest by just killing them before he gets there

also, having to know that you can save solarie if you hand 30 humanity over to a covenant in a secret room which then without telling you opens a shortcut in an area that's only technically close by

ds3 quests are only issues because you bonfire warp through the game so the odds of noticing an NPC is even there is a lot less, and also some weird issues with things not spawning

it was.

the game was clearly designed with few bonfires in mind. One of the biggest fucking marketing/prerelease gimmicks was that you could make your own bonfires. Bamco had a fucking marketing statue based entirely on this, and there's at least 2 early screenshots showing the gimmick in action.

the game was clearly designed around

>1 bonfire at the start of the area
>1 bonfire dropped by the boss

and everything inbetween at your discretion.
>>
>>168858226

I think both Siegmeier and Solaire surviving are considered "secret" endings to their questlines.

From has this way of dealing with optional stuff where it's convoluted to get the best outcome since they consider it to be a secret thing you can only achieve if you're very careful, hear about it somewhere or stumble onto it by chance.
I think they want the word of mouth spreading on how to deal with it.

The default resolution of any quest, even the main one, is a "bad ending" since that's what the setting is all about.

That's because one ending isn't always going to be the first one everyone gets. Plus, it is counting people that just tried the game out for a few minutes or hours too.

Hell, my PS3 version of DaS1 only has an ending on it because I wanted to go to NG+ for a second cast of Great Combustion and Black Flame. Otherwise, I would have just recreated my PvP main and stopped.

Corrupted: Ludwig, if you mean his first form. That thing is a fucking pile of retardation that never ever stops attacking and spazzes harder than anything has any right to.

Prime: Artorias, zero question. Like hell I'd want to do that bossfight where he also has a gigantic, infinite stability, invincible greatshield, and his greatsword is also more powerful and deals magic damage, never mind also being faster and tougher. His divine modifier would also make him shit out 150% extra damage on Velstadt. Ludwig becomes significantly less powerful as just a hunter of the Church.

Bro-op: Depends on how many knights Ludwig has and how strong they are. If there's a ton and they're weak, Sif and Raime will fuck them with their giant sweeping attacks. Otherwise Veldstat and Raime probably have the tag team cup for having dark magic in the mix.

Dark Souls 3 could afford to be more subtle because there's been two games full of prior context to firmly establish that when you enter into a pitch-black space with a dead bonfire protected by Black Knights, you've just walked into some serious shit.

If you hadn't been reading Carl Jung or studying Lovecraft's opinion on miscegenation, then the significance behind the umbilical cords would be almost completely lost on you. That's why they need a lorenote to just makes things more obvious.

Are Dark Blade and Lightning Blade functionally different in any way, aside from the buffs being of different elements?

I presume it's just a matter of what element you want more? Or does one applies a much stronger effect than the other or something of the sort
>>
>>168862246
Lightning Blade and DMB cost more fp than Dark Blade, but add more damage. Lightning damage isn't very good, so sometimes you're better off using Dark Blade until you get DMB.

He's the one who was shooting giant arrows at in that area before the greatwood boss room.
If you make friends with him he stops shooting at you but he'll still shoot at enemies in the area.
So if you can't Git Gud enough to dodge the greatarrows by sound, you can go talk to him before looting that area.
There's also another spot he shoots arrows at outside the Cathedral but it's just a minor side area with some loot in it.

CFA with the min stats to cast it is actually WORSE than resin. It has the advantage of costing 0 souls so it's handy for pve i guess, but there's no real reason to use it in pvp.

The only weapon buff that's worthwhile to cast at minimum stat requirements is Blessed Weapon, since the damage bonus is always the same and only the regen scales.

It's a way to symbolize one has "eyes on the inside," to block outside stimuli. Beside, people probably have enough inside to not need their eyes to see.

Think of it this way: your third person perspective is actually what your hunter is seeing due to insight. He can see all around him rather than being limited by his physical eyes.

Another theory is that eye covering is to hide sings of the scourge, which show in people's pupils and does who show these signs are taken by the nightmare.

What is the recommended SL for the dark souls 2 dlcs?

>>
>>168867305
No amount of SL will help you at the Dragon Shrine. Accept that it is the shittiest, jankiest, least tested area in the game.

DLCs are vaguely Sunken<Iron<Ivory in suggested SL, but they're all pretty late game as the defense of every enemy skyrockets.
>>
>>168867305
Generally, as long as you're above SL120 you should be fine. Pretty sure most people play it at around SL150 though, but levels are cheap in DaS2, there's not much difference.

Nips are religiously retarded. They don't understand religion and the best they came up with on their own with Shinto. They aren't even edgy fedoras in the western sense.

Plus, the whole underlying theme of the Souls and Bloodborne settings is that everything is futile and will never get better so having a functional religion runs counter to that.

That bitch is annoying as fuck simply because the fight hinges on getting patterns where she doesn't summon Velstadt and there's no rhyme or reason to it.

That slut can summon Velstadt multiple times too so even if you kill him she could just do it again.

It's a good fight, doable, but man that mechanic is so stupid.

The dragon fight after is incredible though and worth the effort.

Nigga, if the universe and all people in it were created by God, then of course there ought to be some imposition of this fact into our daily lives. You can't rate a religion based on how little it imposes on you.

All abrahamic religions are like that, anon. Christianity was spread by the sword just as much as any of them; they're the global majority religions now because they killed all the others.

Only humans become Undead. Undead become Hollows through a variety of ways, but Hollows are not uniquely undead. They're what get up off the floor and meander over to the First Flame to grab souls in the opening.

Alternatively, if you prefer less fanfiction, because the First Flame burned away all of his soul and so he basically has no mind or personality left and is an oblivious husk that exists only to blindly defend it.

They're still not basic enemies. They're a congregation of special enemies because it's literally the last fucking boss and there was barely anything between you and him after getting the Lordvessel. They still have specialties to them like a fuck ton of health and damage, they're just grouped together.

To keep the run to Gwyn difficult. To keep Untended Graves the little "secret tough as nails" section difficult.

>sprinkled throughout the world
They're sparingly put around the world in DaS1 because they're always stronger than you. The one in Burg is mean as hell, the one in Tomb of the Giants is a rape machine because of the giant skeletons around you already.

The one in Crucifixion Woods serves the same purpose as the Burg one, to be an extra challenging case for a lucrative reward.

>respawn
To keep Gwyn's run difficult, to keep Untended Graves difficult. I can't really defend SL and CW at least.

>all this applies to DaS1 and 3
You left out the part where there's only two before Untended Graves in 3, or where the only ones that respawn in 1 are in Kiln of the First Flame.

They're not "minibosses" or anything, but in every place they show up other than Kiln because they're the only enemy there, they're tougher than surrounding baddies. See:

I think the suit of armor is the best dragon form.

its the only one that actually looks decent- because it's armor.

You don't do the cause justice to pretend burning all religious textbooks and banning all the edgelords will suddenly turn everything into a blank slate and make animus against fags go away.

M8 difficult doesn't matter. If they don't have a health bar+name and respawn then they're neither a boss nor a miniboss. They are a regular, BASIC enemy that appears as a REGULAR mob. If an entire area has them as the basic enemy then they're basic. Next you're gonna tell the the BASIC red Yharnamites in Bloodborne and the the regular hollow knights in Dark Souls 3 are not basic just because they show up in the last area and are hard.

>>
>>168872124
Vermin are real
>>
>>168871870
red yharnamites in Yar har har are just infinitely respawning common enemies.

Lothric knights are common enemies, though maybe a tier higher than basic hollow. there's a reason they are often encountered alone or at most in groups of 2.

red-eyed lothric knights meanwhile, are justa a stronger version of the same enemy. that doesn't make them any different.

however, Cathedral Knights, are definitely not basic enemies.

So is shit like the Chained Prisoner, a respawning health bar+named NPC enemy, a basic enemy? Red Yharnamites and Lothric Knights are basic enemies either, you're right, they're "Special" enemies. They're not miniboss tier but they're chunkier, harder, and less common than the actual basic enemies.

Sure, Lothric Knights are common, but they're not "basic" like the big hollows or the regular deserters that come before their introduction. They have better poise, damage, reach, shield stability, moveset variation, AI, et cetera that separates them from actually being "basic enemies."

get a weapon with a good vertical swing and hit his arms and head, eventually he will stagger and you can riposte him. he is weak to lightning.

figuring out how to kill Yhorm without storm ruler is probably one of the most satisfying fights in the game, a really tactical fight that requires specific weapons and fighting styles.

>The more I observe the behavior of gays in aggregate the more I see that gays as a population don't tend to help society

This is just not a very experienced or sound way to view the world.

You put any group of similar people together and they will start doing things that other groups (like "society") find objectionable. It's an argument that you can make about any group, and it never holds up. You could make the same argument to justify that all people who shop at wal-mart hurt society. It's a very inexperienced view about the world.

There's a reason why most socially conservative people tend to be in rural areas. They don't have face-to-face experience with people who have different lifestyles: they only see those people "from the outside" (the news, media, internet, etc.). It doesn't mean that rural people are dumb, but that they really don't experience other groups face-to-face and that leads to confirmation bias. You see a stereotype so you start assuming reasons why the stereotype MUST exist. Basically, You're not looking at them as people, you're picking and choosing behaviors to confirm your existing beliefs.

It's sort of like how people say that racism "doesn't exist" anymore because they don't see obvious hatred of black people, but they pick and choose reasons why black people are responsible for their own unfair representation in society. ("The more and more I observe black people in aggregate, the more I realize that they're lazy and uneducated, and are the cause of their own problems"). The ignorance comes from literally ignoring the cause behind people actions, and blaming it on their personality or group or beliefs, instead of the system they are born into.

You would definitely do better by going out and seeking LGBT groups and making friends with them and learning more about their lifestyles as individuals, people, with jobs and friends and hobbies and video games, rather than as a group that you can make assumptions about.

>The more I observe the behavior of gays in aggregate the more I see that gays as a population don't tend to help society and have a preponderance of traits negative to society

not him but your entire 4 paragraphs can be summed up as "you lack knowledge and are ignorant because you disagree with me". You assume people who dislike other races/sexualities do so because they don't know them, when my general dislike for homosexuals and black people came solely from the amount of time I've spent with them, and I had absolutely nothing against them until I got to know them personally. Black people have a laundry list of negative traits like high social aggression, tendencies to violence, flat out stupidity, etc. and they obviously don't have all of them but they always seem guaranteed to have at least 1 or 2 of them, and gay/trans people always seem to have rather severe psychological problems like schizo, psycho/sociopathy, or the type of social deviancy that would make me afraid to leave them alone with a child.

even with the black people and gays that I do like, it's in spite of the flaws.

You misread my post, I'm pointing out that the argument was bad, not that the beliefs were inaccurate.

If someone only encounters aggressive black people, they will assume all black people are aggressive, and likely assume that all back people are aggressive /because/ they are black. Then it is easy to make a leap to "black people are back for society" because you've created your own evidence to support the belief.

This was why apartheid and segregation happened "We don't hate black people, but their culture cannot mix with ours, it's bad for society." , "Islam is a religion of violence", "Gay people prey on young men" , "Transgender people should not be exposed to our children", etc. it doesn't work because it just makes the racial divide even larger and forces the two societies further apart, increasing crime and racism instead of reducing it.

The only way to stop violence from black people is to stop violence, not black people. Otherwise, once you separate blacks out to protect your society, the goalposts will just move and white catholics will be targeted, or irish-americans, or jews, for their traits and culture and violence.

I grew up in a very rural, low-income conservative area where everyone knew everyone and it was pretty much identical.

Then I moved a wealthy part of the south side of Chicago where low income white christians were the minority.

Here's what I learned:

Growing up in a rural area, you decided what was "good" or "bad" by what your friends or parents believed in. If 50 people said something was good, then you honestly believed that thing was good. Who are you to disagree with your entire group? You don't know better than them. It would feel bad, awkward, even sickening to disagree with that many people, if you did, you would have no one left to agree with. This is the sort of "stepford syndrome" that really messes with some people.

Then you move to the city and realize that if 50 people say something is good, you could just walk a block away and find 50 people who say it is bad. You can't trust anyone's opinions, especially those closest to you. People's opinions are measured in the -millions- not the tens and you can't possibly know anyone well enough to judge what they say as good or bad. That vagueness and uncertainty of good or bad also really messes with some people.

The internet is really bad for this because it allows anyone to do either. You can be a redditor where there's no 'good' or 'bad', just whatever gets upvoted to the top, or you can be a 4channer who circlejerks with the same 50-200 people in a thread and never questions their beliefs.

I am reasonably certain I know more niggas than you do people from rural areas. Your view rejects any and all aggregates and suggests that people are just blank slates. That's nonsense, and you KNOW it's nonsense because I know you don't live in a apartment complex of people who aren't your color. Get real.

Different groups of people do have a different character, in aggregate, and to pretend otherwise is stupid. Slice IQ tests, crime rates, almost any metric by race and you will see a division. You are making a silly leap to say this means race causes these things, but you'd be a damn fool to pretend this racial correlation isn't very real.

Observe the behaviors of groups in the macro and the micro. White flight, mexican parts of town, black parts of town. Hell, look at the lunch tables at the office next chance you get (Include the shop workers, not just the one cool black guy who graduated from NYU or whatever). Segregation is the natural order. People want to be with those of their own kind. It's why the political parties are realigning almost entirely on racial advocacy grounds.

I could not possibly give a single damn that this means people will then filter for and generalize about walmart shoppers or Dark Souls 2 fans (I am both.) because this is how the world is. They already do and no amount of John Lennon songs will change it.

I agree with this. I disagree that those divisions are caused by race. They're caused by circumstance, not genetics. Circumstances affect things on the macro. Also, some of those divisions make sense and don't cause problems, but a lot of them do.

So we agree, it's caused by circumstances, not genetics. Which means that racial segregation is not the answer to solving those problems.

White people who grow up in wealth are dumb too. Doesn't mean we should take all rich white people and send them to australia.

even though "smart" and "dumb" don't work like how you say they do and IQ tests are a subjective ranking on test taking ability and are not considered rigorous by any peer reviewed scientific journal, and just like SATs and ACTs, are subject more to confirmation bias of a test-taker's confidence and memorization skills than any sort of raw intelligence or instruction-following competency.

This is a just-so story you tell yourself because you absolutely refuse to accept any explanation that involves genetics as a cause. Because of course evolution stops at the neck. You have no more proof of that than I do of genetics and race and no reason to disbelieve my account except because you hate the policy suggestions it leads to.

I know because I believed it when I was young and stupid too.

Then we reverse a massive demographic and cultural shift of America into a glorified airport/favela before it is given four generations to entrench itself and render proper Americans a powerless and hated minority in their own country.

We don't have slow-acting magic dirt that will homogenize Chinese and African men into the exact same culture after four generations and if you're expecting COLLEGE to do that acculturating job, you are missing the point of college by a country mile.

Sen is Japanese for one thousand. Sen's Fortress is a mistranslation; in the original Japanese language versions of the game it's the Fortress of One Thousand Traps.

no?

Whites who grew up wealth are smarter than whites who grew up in poverty on average

same trend with blacks

only blacks who grew up in wealth are still on average dumber than the average dumbest whites.

Despite what your "college biology teacher" tells you, humans don't have anything close to enough genetic variance between the "races" to have any major phenotypical deviance beyond superficial physical traits.

>>168879941
Words can exist in multiple languages and mean different things. For example, malakas means jerk in my language but strong in Philippines. Also, the fortress would be called "of a thousand", there's no word for trap in the name

Player 1 starts off on step 10.
Player 2 starts off on step 0.

Every turn, everyone moves up 1 step.

On turn 5, player 3 joins on turn 3, having been playing the game at another table.

How come player 2 is still behind player 3 no matter how many turns are taken?

It's almost as if poor people stay poor and rich people stay rich regardless of their race, but that couldn't possibly be the case, right? It has to be about race. If what you were saying was possible, then whites would have overtaken asians by now.

DS3 cleared this out with soul of cinder. Gwyn became the first manifestation of the Flame that rises to protect it from danger. There's a chance that next chosen undead was forced to fight against a fusion Gwyn and first CU, and so on till they all merged to a state of Soul of Cinder.

hundreds of university students, found almost identical item structures in Africans,

by one group were difficult for the others; items found easy by one group were
easy for the others (mean rs .90, p .001). The item–total score correlations
for Africans, Whites, and East Indians were also similar, indicating that the items
measured similar psychometric constructs in all three groups.

IQ tests are not an accepted scientific measurement of cognitive ability, and even if they were, they are subject to education bias. Someone who goes to a more expensive school will perform higher on an IQ test (also if they take the test multiple times) than someone who goes to public education.

asians have higher IQ scores and dont have white guilt holding them back, allowing them to pursue more opportunities.

Believing there are differences between the races on a biological level, doesn't mean you have to a be a white neo-nazi.

Stop talking out of your ass. "Sen" is written in katakana (セン), since it's a proper noun It's not written in kanji (千) which would mean "thousand". Also, there's no mention of the "traps" bullshit in the JP name (センの古城).

It's not about people being the same (there are dumb people, there are smart people) but it's about blaming intelligence on race.

It's a common argument by shitheads that any time a black person is "smart" it's because they're a unique exception (or raised by white people) but every time a black person is "dumb" it's because black people and black culture is dumb or anti-intellectual.

>Someone who goes to a more expensive school will perform higher on an IQ test (also if they take the test multiple times) than someone who goes to public education.

We are talking about wealthy black people, who could afford going to expensive universities vs poor white people who COULD NOT afford going to expensive universities, yet still managing to have a lower IQ score on average than the group.

if it was purely a question of wealth and access to education then this trend should be reversed.

it's a fusion of their souls, not their bodies, and that sentient fusion built up over time. when someone links the flame their body becomes a vessel for the soul of cinder. If they're an undead, when they are usurped their body respawns soulless and is put to rest in the cemetery of ash.

in dark souls 1 it was just gwyn, who had hollowed. the soul of cinder hadn't yet gained its "sentience". going hollow isn't a unique trait of humans, being undead is.

>yet still managing to have a lower IQ score on average than the group.

Show me a peer reviewed paper with a large sample size that controls for other circumstances that can affect bias, with a low p value, which has not been redacted or subsequently proven wrong.

Otherwise, you're not qualified to even participate in this discussion (and neither am I), we're just making shit-tier armchair arguments on a board no one cares about. At least admit that.

How the hell do you trigger the Friede fight? I know I'm supposed to fight this lady at the end of the DLC but the painter just keeps saying she wants to see flame. Does she mean I have to go kill SoC and link the fire or what?

not him, but it's pretty easy:

>explain why it is bad science
Doesn't disprove the null hypothesis, and is not exempt from confirmation bias. To prove that intelligence diversity is caused by race, you have to first control for every other possible cause of intelligence diversity, and then show that data is supported in real life.


>explain why segregation and discrimination is inherently bad when non-racial version of both are cornerstones of modern societies and our educational systems.

It's not inherently bad, but it's a tool that isn't inherently good either (and certainly not "natural"). There's a lot of economic arguments against racial segregation also.

>I've been on 4chan since 2006, so you are wrong.

Pretty sure this site was always a shithole, and opinions change depending on wherever you go. /acg/ and /dsg/ share a lot of posters but the environment is completely different.

Blanket statements on groups (whether it's 4channers or black people) are bad because they are so easy to prove wrong and so insanely hard to prove right, with any rigorous credibility

I really liked Ashes. It's overpriced for the singleplayer content alone, but I'd probably still buy it even just to play offline.

I do still really have a soft spot for 1 though. I like its world and atmosphere better, but the gameplay improvements in 3 are undeniable.

DS3 and BB are two of my favorites of all Fromsoft games in general.
Ariandel is extremely good in how it connects with main game and adds more early game options. Friede is a great boss and Gael/Painter are some of the coolest characters and i'm glad they are involved into DLC2 too.
