So, do people actually play DS2 now?

I'm kinda tempted to try if it's alive.

How come it appears that I can see some players soul (there is a flame in their chest) in dark souls 3? is this a buff?

>>169776656
Scholar is still kicking as far as I know. Return to Drangleic has boosted the online activity as well.

Would you fuck Lothric?

does anyone actually use EMU?

So which Dark Souls is the worst and why is it 2?

>>169776468
Grapist can be pretty fun, depending. The gimmick is that you're a pre-seeded red who just wants to murder shit and you don't care what. It's different from reds in that you can win by killing the host's buttbuddies, win by killing other invaders, and you come in pre-aggroed so you can kite mobs into the host and his phantoms. Nothing makes them panic like seeing a giant crab or a pair of Darkwraiths bear down on them. It was much more fun back when boss invading was possible.

Watchdogs is Aldrich but for Farron Keep, sees less activity since most people won't enter the zone pre-Embered (as opposed to entering Aldrich territory the moment you leave Pontiff's bonfire).

>>169776535
You're probably just getting unlucky. And I'd take the trade-off since you can farm their armor too, instead of going Ascetic or NG+. Also,

>>169776679
Yes.

>SM 110k

No summons in the highlighted areas, only need 4 more for the sun sword too ;-;

>>169776818
For a whole list of reasons. If you want I can throw some at ya assuming you're serious. Or are you just trying to rile up the DaS2 fanboys?

>>169776823
Depends on your platform. On PC you're virtually guaranteed to be able to get the whole thing for $55 USD or less, since Steam has fairly regular sales. On consoles, can't say for sure. The bulk of /dsg/ are PC players, with the odd PS4 player and zero X-Bone players.

>>169776918
Doesnt SOTFS have a ring that locks your SM in place?

>>169776823
Oh yeah, nothing makes me want to play more like killing the same two strong enemies over a hundred times in a row.

>>169776984
Yes, which is cool but you lose 1 ring slot.

>>169777082
It's way less of an issue though if you're aiming for low-level online stuff. Less likely to have a situation where you even have at least 4 rings that could provide a huge benefit.

>>169776818
Because it took a risk and tried something new and different instead of playing it completely safe and stale like DaS3. And also because it didn't have Sonybux to fund its engine to allow From to cut corners like no tomorrow.

>>169776993
But by killing the same 2 enemies over 100 times in a row, you already play the game more.
>>169776931
I'm on PC. I don't buy games much because I'm a cheap motherfucker but I wanted to buy this one while it's active.

>>169776832
>pre-seeded red who just wants to murder shit and you don't care what
Wrong, faggots like you who don't know how to grape are why everyone tries to kill grapes on sight. Also, grapes can't aggro enemies until seeded, unless you're talking about getting summoned as a grape? No-one summons grapes though outside of fight clubs.

Being a grape is generally about taking the easiest way to your goal. If you see a red it might be better to befriend him since he's equipped to fight other players, but in the middle of an invaders vs host and phantoms fight if he's losing then it's more ideal for you to turn on him and finish him off yourself, for eg. Sometimes you can befriend the host if he's protected by some tank-looking buttbuddies and help fend off invaders. This is where the madness that Hodrick talks about comes into play, you have the ability to balance relationships with other players, but do so in a way that makes it easiest to leave with a shackle.

>>169777186
Yeah you have a good point, if we're talking lower level content then I fully agree with you.

how make item with cheat egnine no softban??
please feed me with a spoon :)

>>169777403
dont be online
only make stuff you could have at your current point of the game

Anyone else feel kind of bad for the Fromsoft B-team?

They obviously tried to make ds2 a true succesor to DS1

>>169776293
This actually fucking works, and the host usually dies after the first duel which makes vertebrae shackle farming extremely quick. Thanks anon

>>169776787

Yuria should have been the Red Eye leader; called Pale Shades or something

Rosaria's is a lot different to the original Darkwraiths of Kaathe (who Yuria is now working for); she'd be better as a Gravelord analogue

They dropped the ball on this one

>>169777230
The amount of hours I'd play if I just got the sword and could move on would be much more than the hours I'm not going to spend after all this grinding burns me out.
This guy was supposed to be a co-op focused character. So much for that, he's completely ahead of the pack now.

>>169777217
That's wrong though, DaS2 was like a construction that was being built up with an unsteady flow of materials and an architect with a questionable blueprint, then another crew comes along and knocks it down, primarily because the people funding it want it to be more like another building across the street, but there can be no delay to the date the construction must be finished.

So then the new crew is tasked with picking up the chunks of what the knocked down and piecing them together in a patchwork lump of good and bad ideas and an incoherent foundation.

Or to put it more plainly, fuck Bamco because DaS2 should've had another year or two development time or just shouldn't have existed in the first place.

does poise in ds3 still function similar to agility from ds2?

>>169777528
Honestly I feel like sunbro co op at low level is reserved for good players. Which is sort of the point since you need to carry shitters.

Like in order to sunbro at the FoTFG you need to get to harvest valley+ straid (optional/optimal) around SM80k.

>>169777528
Desu, sm should only matter for ng, soul level for ng+ and no matchmaking restrictions ng++ and onward, calculated based on the lowest of 2 cycles

>>169777721

It never did. Poise doesn't exist, it enables hyper armour.

>>169777756
I don't mean sunbroing, but that's totally doable.

>>169777757
I am probably never going to touch NG+. I think the furthest I've ever gotten in NG+ in any Souls game was Taurus Demon. It's just so dull.

>>169777721
When the fuck did poise ever give you i-frames? What?

Poise works exactly as DkS1 and 2, except it's only switched on when you're attacking, but not with light weapons. That is, there is literally a 0-1 switch that toggles on and off, in real time, when you swing a greatsword. I've actually fucked with it. If you freeze it as a 1 at all times, you have DkS1 poise.

>Mask attached to a ceremonial hat. A Hollow once fought valiantly with this mask, but feared the fading of her self, and implored a comrade remember her name. Perhaps that is why this gentleman's mask is named after a woman.

Thats nice

>>169778107
DaS1 was poise proper. DaS3 poise functions like crappy hyper armor.

>>169778313
It's nice because it reinforces the idea that Lucatiel and her brother are the same person.

How well do fire weapons scale into the lategame?

>>169779000
You held for a pretty long time already. My last playthrough ended on Tseldora because it's the worst fucking location i ever saw in souls game.

>>169778493
It's just how I interpreted it the first time I did her storyline and I kinda like the idea but there's really not much to support it, as there isn't also much to oppose because of how convoluted everything in DaS2 is.

>>169778760
At first I thought this was proof that her brother did exist, but then both blades have "A tiny message is inscribed on the blade, a promise to someone special. "

It feels like one of these messages people who are about to forget something write to themselves, kinda like "don't believe his lies". Like I said, there is no proof of that and maybe it's not intended at all, but I feel like her storyline becomes way more interesting if you consider this. The one she's looking for is herself, a knight who pretended to be a man as she hollows, she thinks this knight is another person.

>>169779238
He's not wrong. Chaos weapons are stronger, but ONLY if you have enough soft humanity. Go with Fire weapons if you're bad at not-dying.

>>169778396
It's codedly the same mechanic, except DkS3 has it only active during attacks.

So it basically works really well for PvP and is absolutely shit garbage for general PvE quality of life. Playing through the game with poise on is an experience, let me tell you. Turning it back off is aggravation akin to missing an entire staircase of steps in the dark, all made entirely of legos, with bare feet.

>>169779238
I have whatever he posted filtered, so I have no idea what he said. I wasn't joking though. Chaos is a straight up better than fire in DaS1 as long as you keep 10 humanity or more in your counter.

>>169779381
That does sound interesting but she clearly states that she came to drangleic looking for her brother

>>169777217

Bloodborne shook the Souls formula more than DS2 did and ended up being magnificent.

I see this guy posted here often. Can someone give me a quick rundown on what makes him so special?

>>169779640
That's what she thinks. But she actually came looking to cure the curse, like us, but got stranded and forgot that "Alastiel" was just her alias.

I know it's hardly anything but headcanon, but I really like this idea, just like I like the idea of the dragon egg guy being Jester Thomas. DaS2 NPCs just needed a tiny bit more of work to be really interesting. Not even new dialogue, just a slightly more nervous voice after you defeat Thomas in Shulva and then talk to egg guy would've already added a lot.

>>169780292
DaS2 had a lot of NPCs, and most of them were very bad, but the few who weren't were very memorable, I'll say that.

I really hate just how simple the sword techniques are in Dark Souls III

For example: the regular longsword. Light attacks are just simple swipes to the left or right while the hard ones are a stub and an another swipe. And weapon art barely adds any variety

You have to go into stance after it's fully charged or you know remain in the stance after charged. Then use a strong strong attack while in stance. You know it's fully charged after it gets louder then before and the wind effect stays even without stance.

No difference, blue sentinels does the same thing as dorkmoon for the same rewards, it was just a way to give players access to the covenant earlier in the game.

If you're talking things like Great Deep Soul, Dark Greatsword or whatever, and Pursuers, then your best bet is doing a 40/40 int/faith with Izalith staff. Otherwise just get int to 60 and use the Court Sorc staff. The 40/40 thing also applies best if you're talking dark pyromancies.

>>169786259
No idea, there's not a lot of info on how it works exactly. The only thing you can pretty much guarantee is modifying your stats/souls/soul memory will get you locked out right away.

It's possible that softbans aren't really going out to people anymore in DaS2 if they aren't part of a fully automated system.

Probably should do a build that isn't viable in DaS3 but I just can't decide.

>>169789001
Str only, dex only, Sorc, Pyro, Hexxer. All are viable in DaS2. Quality is there, but it's not like it is in 3. I'm going quality atm just for the options, trying to decide if going to rock out as Alonne, his sword is Dex or as the new Ivory King, his sword is Quality or just use Loyce GS which is dex.

Demon's Souls while a good game feels more outdated than Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 1 is a good start point because it stands on its own very well and gives you the basics about the lore of the franchise, while Demon's Souls is another universe and you will only see references in later games

Alright then, back to more spammy rolls I guess.

Also, I'm pissed hexes aren't it's own thing anymore. Now you just have dark sorceries/pyros/miracles rather than distinct dark spells.

My favorite are:

>Profaned greatsword, it's pretty and it have a nice moveset
>Gundyr Halberd, powerful and the wa is nice
>Hollowslayer, you will stomp the game with it, it have a nice ar, fast moveset (especially the thrust attack) and it inflict 50 percent more damage on hollow (so almost all enemy in he game)
>Wolf knight sword, a very good greatsword with a fun WA
>Yhorm Machete and Dragonslayer Greataxe, both are axe with a very high AR, it sometimes allows you to dodge some enemy horizontal attack because your character crouch during the attack animation

>>169796245
Apparently one of the spells you find in TRC is the final form of Deep Soul.

And to be fair, Hexes were barely their own thing in DaS2, they still required either a staff or chime to work instead of their own spell tool. I still wish they'd given Hexes their own scaling stat instead of having it be the lowest between Int/Fai, would have made it more purposeful and specialized instead of being the best casting class in the game that soft-caps Pyromancy and can use at least 80% of all Sorceries and Miracles.

Sorc or cleric start, doesn't really matter.
30int/30fth, you want 20/20 ASAP so Felkin will give you the staff and 22int to use the damn thing.
You can easily stack three orbs by the time you free Straid, I think you might get another one from the dragon covenant guy and Grandahl. Your staff is going to break before you run out of orbs.
Pretty much all that, but a really solid argument can be made for going up to 60int/30fth because Affinity gets extra projectiles every 10int over 20 with 5 at 60. Each orb is an extra 100% damage.

>>169804358
Nope, but as long as you didn't level resistance, your build won't really matter in terms of completing the game.

Compared to the mace from DaS2 it's shit.

He's not entirely correct. First part of the DLC has you falling through further and further into the past (grand archives from das3, harvest valley from das2, firelink shrine from das1), then you get to the ringed city. There are some hints that TRC might be londor from the sword of avowal in that one building, but nothing too concrete yet.

>>169805574
It wasn't just one building.

>>169800630
Probably Farron Greatsword or BKGS or something that can't be buffed so that I don't explode the entire DLC.

>>169805848
The sword of avowal doesn't fit Londor's general them in any way, shape, or form, though. They're probably related, but maybe more in the sense that Londor appropriated an older tradition from an older culture.

>>169806010

the reason yuria isn't the red eye leader is because the londor pale shades and the church of the deep are two different entities with different motives, even if their goals might ultimately align.

There's also the fact that londor is a far away land that the pilgrims have to travel from to get to lothric (as evidence by the intro cinematic).

Considering that the eathern peak is in the ringed city and londors obsessions with monarchs and marriage aka: King vendric and nashandra, londor may very well be drangleic as that place was pretty much a land of hollows when we played in dark souls 2 and miyazaki mentioned that if lordran was the north pole then drangleic was the south pole in terms of distance.

and obviously the way items are referenced in both dark souls 2 and 3 make it clear that there is some great distance between the two kingdoms, the presence of anor londo and izalith making it obvious that dark souls 3 maingame is taking place in lordran.

I mean we also have darkroot garden (farron keep)

although honestly I did shamelessly steal the theory from someone else who explains it much better than me.

Why does Pontiff Sulyvahn keep tearing me a new asshole?
I don't want to parry him because it'd feel like I cheat.

I was refering more to the DLC itself than the city itself

>>169807087
use either sorcery or pyromancy you nob, the rings proclude mixing spells, not to mention stats

Going in as a Darkwaith

>>169807091
You're trying to talk about the logic of location and distance in an area where time and space are breaking down. It doesn't work.

>>169807334
>it doesn't work because I've decided so

there is evidence to the contrary

>>169805142
practice your spacing and the 2H R1 combos into an uncharged 2H R2, pretty good

>>169807419
No, you don't understand.

In the first part of the DLC (the Dreg Heap) the window you crash through after jumping off that first ledge is an exact match for the Grand Archive room with the 5 wax wizards and dozens of curse hands, only clearly in ruins. In order for this to be possible, the Grand Archives would not only need to exist in two different places, but would also have to have been destroyed and in ruins long before you physically visit it while it's still intact. This, obviously, is impossible.

Time and space are clearly unreliable in this case, and any argument based on them is unsound.

I'm debating whether I want to go in as my SL80 quality dark wraith or SL80 londor pilgrim sorcerer

>restore DS2 save consecutively

What did they mean by this?
Thankfully I wasn't on my main.

>>169807795
What is your fashion on your Pilgrim?

>>169807793
if you watched the video you'd realize that there's a lot more to it than just geography

it wasn't just one building

>>169807928
Yeah, there's a whole lot of shit going on and all of it means there's no possible way to figure out anything about the rest of the game based on its geography. That bothers me, actually.

>>169807925
cleric robes for turtle shell and dark leggings because there aren't any good frayed robes that also match with the cleric chest and follower gloves

I'm too much of a minmaxer to not use dusk crown though
why did they have to include this fucking thing?

>>169808094
>using magic magic on a londor sorcerer
Yoel was only pretending, anon. They didn't want to scare you away before he gave you aids herpes.

>>169808039
another interresting geographical thing is the connection between oceiros lair, firelink shrine and arch dragon peak.

they are all based on bysantine building style and oceiros lair seems to be a way older building than lothric castle.

Not to mention that some of the architecture goes again in cathedral of the deep which we know used to be a way of the white church.

>>169808253
>yoel was only pretending

Yuria also sells sorcery

also I do actually use affinity along with normal sorceries, since some enemies in the game have retard high magic resistance (fuck you giant crystal dragon things!)

>>169808453
What do you do against things with retarded high defense against both magic and dark? Like deep deacons or aldrich.

>>169808528
I acquire professiency

but yeah I was surprised by how hard as nails Aldrich was compared to when I went through as a pyromancer and a quality build.

What do I do with a million souls in ds3?? I am level 88 but if i level up to far then i lose the ability to gain covenent items from players

>>169808709
buy upgrade material

>>169808709
shit I dont know

blow em on weapons, armor and titanite?

>>169808667
Any build that has access to Vow of Silence shouldn't have trouble against Aldrich.
