I've officially given up on beating Midir.

After my 16th try,the furthest I got was to half health. It's embarrassing to admit but I simply cannot defeat him. Persona 5 is out tomorrow so I probably won't touch this game for months. It's sad to admit because I loved this game and I beat every other boss on NG+3.

Goodbye,/dsg/. Maybe I'll post again if they nerf Midir health which probably won't happen.

So, I just started TRC this weekend, and did anyone else notice the primordial serpent chamber after the Demon Princes boss? Like, I'm 99% sure it's the same place, but I didn't get out a torch to actually explore it, I stopped progressing once I hit that bonfire, but plan to pick it up once I get home this evening.

That was intense, i enjoyed the fight way more in NG+3, on my first run i killed him first try and i was surprised that he died so fast, this time it took me a couple of tries.

9/10 boss would fight again.

Its obviously not. I can't believe how much of you people are dumb enough to think it is. You all think Miyazaki is a fucking slave being forced to make DS3 and that he want to kill himself.

There's a huge update on 21St April and it'll probably include the world the loli painter was talking about. Not a full DLC,but still large enough to be considered something.

When I first got the game on release, I hunted all over DS3 Firelink Shrine trying to piece together the original Firelink with no luck.

TRC is great gameplaywise. Other than the final boss name, the only spoilers that can ruin anything for you are encounters. Storywise, it's hardly consequential

Looks remotely similar to the Firelink entrance to the Kiln/Frampt but it isn't the same Shrine.

Makes sense, Ringed City/Londor was built by the first Lords so that building probably was too.

I haven't played in a long time, and want to make a new character going through the game again.

I loved using bleed because you could melt bosses. But from what I've heard is that bleed has been nerfed?

Can someone tell me what I should be using now?

I'm only going to PvE
>>
So the patch notes say that poison and toxic has been buffed. Is it worth using it at all now?
If so, what are some good weapons for it?

Bleed infusions got a buff last I checked.
Before the last few patches there was no reason to use them even on a bleed focused build because you could use Carthus Rouge on a normal upgrade and get better results.

How about Dex/Int Aquamarine Dagger with some bleed on the side?
You could go for quick multihitting weapons like claws and maybe use the Pontiff Eyes and Old Wolf Greatsword on your back for the heals.
>>
>>172944104
I really want /v/ to leave.

Use a Heavy Infused Exile Greatsword. Have "fun".
>>
>>172943905

If you really want the best pve weapon just go 66 str/16 dex

Use heavy infusions on weps like exiled greatsword and slice and dice through everything

Honestly that shit is op and even if they nerf it you could just use something like ledo's great hammer

Invading is fucking pointless.

I'm so fed up of this shit. Mentally inefficient children buy this game then need 3 phantoms to hold their hand through every area.

The phantoms are even worse because they condone this shit. I was having a duel with someone and he used a seed of the Giant then proceeded to run away from me before his 2 phantoms appeared. And surprise surprise,both of them had the paired greatswords.

They all proceed to gank me then and I shit you need they all needed to heal before killing me and I didn't even heal once.

What's the point? Even when you get a fellow invader to ballance out thw game,the lock on is fucking broken so you end up attacking the invader. It's so fucking dumb.

I think it's just embarrassing that you need people to hold your hand through an area. Fair enough for a boss fight,but for an area? Why did you even buy the game? It's sad and pathetic. Is it just so you can feel good for beating the epic dark Souls is hard game?

Normally I'm in the camp of no-holds barred beating but at some point you can stop stacking the deck and you'll get the same result anyway.

Of course reds do themselves no favors. Curbstomping a solo guy leveling up a cosplay build he can't run with maxed flasks, meme weapons and then pointing down engenders no sympathy (I seen this one far too often). I try to give them some semblance of a reasonable fight but other times it's just merc the cunts.

That's great and all, but for us non-autistic people, who are playing through the game for the 20th time, we don't mind picking our friend up at the bonfire, and doing a rush NG+ run in tandem.


Usually by the time you're invading us, we're 10 bosses deep, and on an adrenaline rush trying to finish the game again.

The bad part is that youre not threatening when theres a host (who has more health and flasks) and a summon who is on an equal playing field as you. The invader gets 0 bonuses from the host having more phantoms. Its so dumb that host get free handholding against any invader threat
If its a 2v1 then im fine, 3v1, unhappy. 4v1 and you should consider suicide

I don't mind the seed, nor the numbers. Passwords and resummoning however, I feel is horribly imbalanced but never getting addressed.

Skill cannot battle against varied r1 spam from different sources. Ive won against a few squads of people today thanks to good spell alignment and distancing myself.
But you cant be an exact threat like some NPC summons can me. Youre not a tough fight, youre just a player that can heal twice as much as you. And sometimes you can get outplayed. But with the amount of summons you can have, plus iframe rolling it becomes tedious to try and kill players during a gank

Nail on the head. Once you hit resummon you have basically hit an infinite HP wall. Sure it's not actually infinite but it's effectively so unless you kill the host or summons run out. I haven't invaded since ashes so I dunno how things are but I imagine you have choice of signs and you can always get downscaled friends.

A good invader who isn't using an overpowered meta weapon will exploit the map to the maximum, surprising the host with drop attacks and ambushes using curl up and stretch out gestures to hide. If they need to retreat they jump off cliffs using the silvercat ring. They conserve their estus while draining the host's. They know how to split the players using lifts and one way drops. They use environmental hazards to throw players off cliffs.

Your average invaders rushes into 3-4 players and dies then complains about how invasions are impossible without twinking.

This is what got to me when I was really active. From goes to all of this trouble implementing the Estus and Bone Shard mechanics, slowly dripfeeding you resources and scaling the game up along with that - Then allows you to spam an infinite resource in summons which can ignore the "expected" resource level due to passwords.

It's a hard mechanic to balance, but even just locking resummons out when a red enters means there's a resource management minigame at least going on.

Idk the lasers seem to one shot everyone. I was sl 100 on ng + 7 and it's just basically having a response for everything he does. Grab attack and laser are one shots.

With 1414hp r1s need to do 354 damage to kill you with two combos. With 1114 hp r1s only need to do 279. It's also a different playstyle that you're probably not used to yet.

Weapon Art has good amount of Hyper Armor.
Hit R2 after connecting with WA to deal a spin move that'll deal decent damage. Then delay third R2. It sometimes catches people.
Even if you miss your WA, hit R2. It sometimes catches them and can be combo'd into third R2. You'll easily deal 700+ Damage.
Usually R1 into WA gets people who like to roll back. I mostly tend to trade with GS fellows though I guess this isn't something you should go for with during an invasion.

Can someone recommend me a good office chair?

Since 1v1 fights are what these weapons are judged upon.
-all the axes should be lower by a tier. Their movesets are out classed by straightswords in every way and the only one with a decent weapon art is the milkwood. So possibly with the exception of the milkwood.

-Great Lance and Lothric Knight Long Spear should be lower. The pike moveset is still bad and the hyper armor on the great lance doesn't help the fact your attacks still have no tracking. You can even turn it when free aiming.

-Isn't the Onyx Blade still the longest greatsword? I think that and it's ability to chip through shields should raise it higher since the greatswords since shields make fighting greatswords extremely safe.

-The Curved Greatswords should all be lowered by a tier, possibely two. The exile's damage output right is at meme levels but it doesn't helpt that curved greatswords just have a shitty moveset.

-I don't think any halbard truly deserves to be top tier. They just aren't at the same level as the estoc.

-Hammers....Don't they have a terrible match up against spears and greatswords two very popular weapon classes. I think the greatclub is at a similar level to Ledo's greathammer. That R2 is amazing bait.

-No top tier thrusting swords. You serious? The Estoc with black knight shield and leo ring is probably the best build in the game especially now that curved swords have been nerfed.

-The Gotthards are the longest straightswords and only trail behind the longsword by like 20 AR. Winged Knight twin axes, Ringed Knight Paired greatswords need to be lowered. Lot's of damage if they hit but they both have shitty movesets. I would raise valor heart (most people make the mistake of being guard broken by playing overly agressively) and Onikiri and Ubadachi (they're still katana's).

-The Avelyn and Arbalest should be toptier. The avelyn with exploding bolts is probably the best roll catcher in the entire game (you should free aim for best results)

It was absolute shit at launch, and for about a year after launch it continued to be shit. If you were promised the world and believed in the trailers and pre-launch footage, you'd be pissed at what you got too. You have the luxury of playing the game in its final form, but you have to realize that the game that most other people played was far worse than the one you did.

Even in its current state, DaS2 is easily the weakest of the trilogy. It's fun, it has a lot of good mechanics, and some beautiful level aesthetics and memorable bosses. But it also had and continues to have some of the absolute worst mechanics and level design ever seen in a Souls game. A lot of this is due to how shitty its development cycle was, but that's mainly a reason and not an excuse.

That being said, DaS2 is not a "bad" game in and of itself, it still blows most of its contemporaries out of the water. It's just "bad" when held to the standards of a Dark Souls game.

avelyn is definitely top tier, both 1v1 and when outnumbered. it's always worth the 7 equip weight or so needed to use it. even though it's such a huge obvious weapon you can still catch people with it. generally when you whip out a parrying shield or cestus people will adjust tactics, you cannot adjust to avelyn the same way.

I assume they're dead after that pvp match making thing came out.

Admittedly, I tanked it from full health using that defense at full health ring to end up with that 5hp, but the one time I got hit with the laser I also got hit by a second laser and died, so it was for nothing.

I did it on that, but I was SL145 and had to use the black knight halberd to make it easier to hit his legs, it took me a while but as you keep fighting you will get his patterns down and then it just becomes second nature, it was fun learning it.
>>
>>172950070
This is bait but I'll bite.

Ds2 is the shittiest Dark Souls game but still a great game nevertheless. I honestly had more fun replaying it than ds1 when I was done with the pve and the pvp is irredeemable garbage barring invasions; interestingly ds2 had the complete opposite effect where the pve is total shit but the pvp kept me from leaving since there were tons of possible builds to try with the four magic schools. Ds3 has the best balance of both but had to rely on fanservice to keep it's quality up. The pvp is shit but it's better than ds1's meme crap. Bosses that are more relevant and fun to fight compared to ds2's garbage where the only fun bosses were dlc locked.

There isn't a perfect Dark Souls game but all three were fun rides. Autists who jump on hatewagons instead of playing the games for fun aren't worth anyone's time.

Yes, it's official. Miyazaki himself said that the series is "done for now".

The three DLC thing was just an early rumor when the season pass was announced, it was never going to be three.

Ringed City isn't the climax of DaS3 just like Artorias of the Abyss isn't the climax of DaS. It's supplementary. The climax is still the Soul of Cinder.

From what I remember, the "3 dlc" thing was a mistranslation. Also, this isn't going to be the last thing for Dark Souls forever.

DS2 is objectively shit you fucking morons. It's the textbook example of how quantity doesn't make quality.

The movement system is completely retarded, and it completely misunderstands the Souls formula and makes every encounter an annoying as fuck slog where the game constantly tries to play tricks on you or trap you.

I haven't played since around launch, have they added a shield or any armor that can defend against The Darkdrift yet?

sl72+8 is general invader for higher level areas, like grand archives and peak.

>>172954901
a lot of activity on early areas if you have down to +2. They go away as soon as you go to +3, though, i'm impressed most people leave to settlement still holding a +1 weapon, but i guess that's just the fire gem uchi carrying them.

As a guy with 5 low-level invaders, this. I tried twinking in DS1 and DS2 but frankly it just wasn't fun because I was allowed to be so insanely OP and had to willingly nerf myself to give the other people a chance. In DS3 between SL10 and SL30 you can still be very OP, but nothing to the level of DS1 or DS2. Even up to around SL60 you can still get a really good gear advantage to handle 2v1 and 3v1, and it doesn't feel cheap when you win most of the time.

In DS1 I had a SL20 invader with maxed gear. I invaded Anor Londo, Duke's Archives, and Kiln. I won the majority of my fights, and most were against people at least 100SL above me. Just let that sink in.

No it isn't. Just compare for example DS3 vanilla (most of it) with the icy part of Ashes of Ariandel. Miyazaki usually does one of two things:
a) throws a bunch of weak enemies at the player that get buffed by something else or there's some trick to them
b) throws a very strong guy at you backed by a slightly weaker challenge

In AoA, specifically in everything that isn't the village/run up to the church, it's the polar opposite. It's literal DS2 design.
>Enter the area

>here comes a big bad wolf, but some of the wolves you just killed ressurrect lol enjoy it

There's no rhythm whatsoever or exploration/exploiting the map in DS2's typical design. Hell, at least Miyazaki uses enemies to draw attention to something (illusory walls, for example, or an item). Tanimura (and DS2) just uses enemies as "wow dude le epic challenge see if u can get through this haha got u".

I completely agree with you about DaS2 design but I think you're overreacting about AoA. The Followers at the beginning can be avoided for the most part and I never found the bit with the Millwood Knights around the tower hard. Almost all of the large groups can be avoided by planning your route, with the wolves being the most annoying cunts, and the Corvian Settlement is pretty good level design I think.

Yeah I think the corvian village/church is very good level design and enemy placement wise. The other fights aren't "hard", they're just annoying as fuck.

>6 follower knights who all attack you at the same time and spam
That's not true. You will be attacked by one of them first, then 2 etc., just don't rush and you will fight with 2 of them most of the time. They themselves are not hard at all, only saber guy is very aggressive and somewhat dangerous. Shield follower is somewhat aggressive, but because he's turtling all the time, you can kick him and repost for million damage. Torch and javelin are passive and will attack you from distance.
>here come 8 wolves who will never ever stay in place for 1 second
You're rushing again. You can just kill howling wolf and progress forward without problems, but even if you don't they are pretty weak. Most of them just run around a lot, while 2 or 3 attack you, unlike dogs, for example.
>2 Millwood Knights + Faggot spamming arrows + a wolf

Are you retarded? You don't avoid attacks by slow-walking in a circle. The problem in the last webm doesn't apply at normal movement speed, and DS2 has the fastest sprint startup time in all of Souls. The start of the sprint even has a little head dip which actually shrinks your hitbox, allowing you to dodge things simply by starting the sprint, without even having to move anywhere.

"Having control over your tracking" implies you have to control it in some way. You don't, because by simply locking on weapons like an Estoc will automatically snap to the correct facing at the last second. In DS2 you actually do need to control your facing, because your turning is limited and takes place over a period of time. In DS2 starting an attack off-centre deliberately has a purpose, because if you unlock and manually aim ahead of a roll you'll be able to follow the player's movement where a locked player would miss. In DS1 your facing at any moment in time is only ever relevant for backstabs.

Just warp to Undead Settlement and use the Statue of Velka, it's much less aggravating and you have to go through a loading screen anyways.

Yes. It is legit fun to use as the moveset is quite broad and you need to use different options based on spacing. It's not exactly strong though.

I'm not talking about edgy slow-walking or sprinting, I'm talking about normal, full speed walking without pressing B. It is much slower in DS2 and for me, who was used to DS1 style controls, it felt extremely clunky and way less responsive.

Does anyone play DS3 with vsync off (and manual framerate cap)?

It removes a lot of input delay but introduces screen tearing. I want to do this but for some reason my Gsync isn't kicking in like it should and the tearing is really distracting.

Yeah, I know, it's terrible crit for a dagger, and the damage is nothing to write home about, but it's probably the most fun magic dex weapon in the game, and it's gimmick is fun.

Also stupid good with black knight shield in pve I noticed.
>>
>>172958092
The worst part is that, some of the problems that plague DaS3 in a competitive (lmao) sense are present in For Honor as well, i.e P2P connectivity and incompetent devs when it comes to balance. It's jarring to see people bet the farm on it thinking it'll be a big competitive e-sport, but I'm glad their gone all things considered.

I gave it an honest go a few times but then got bored and just started fucking sprinting through. The three Harad knights feels a bit overkill honestly, then they throw another two at you at the bottom, then there's all the fucking lightning flavoured thralls and enemy casters, and you have to kill fucking all of them if you want to talk to Shira. Just a bit much.

>>172958380
Yeah, Catacombs is fun as fuck. I'm level 50 with +4 weapons, and while I think 50 might be a bit high, I still get pretty consistent activity.
>>
>>172957763
Yeah guess I misused the term tracking. Basically what the other guy said, I like being in full control of my character. And I hate the idea of restricting players movements just to add some sort of arbitrary depth.

>>172958264
My first time in, I took about an hour or two to fully explore the area, lost around 500k souls in the process (didn't matter since I was on NG+) and got ultra frustrated by the time I hit the actual swamp since I didn't know how close I was to a bonfire.

I don't mind the pygmy enemies that much since the screams they make when they die are so satisfying, but fuck those turtle priests.

A - he is, just not all the time. He sprints for short bursts to compensate for the slow ass walk speed.
B - I'm not denying you can avoid attacks by walikng in DS2, I said it's much harder, atleast for me. This guy is clearly better at DS2 than I will ever be.
>>
>>172958765
I do but it's still kind of tedious, and I'm also quite shit at aiming it right. Like I'll land a drop attack on them but the animation won't activate, and I'm left there recovering with low health and two of the fuckers try to cleave my anus

Don't think their HP scales appreciably on NG cycles. I was still doing 4.1k with my BKS in NG+, 4.5k with BKGS, with 34/40, and in both instances still instakills.

What the fuck is with the Painting Guardian in the Spear of the Church fight? It's a good idea for balancing out phantoms but if you're on your own it's just annoying as fuck.

You don't actually kill him in the future, you kill him in everywhen.

I try to be friendly even to invaders, and let people 1v1 if I have phantoms summoned, but if whoever invades is a dick I don't get mad about it. Then it just turns into a wacky scrap.

Point is, invaders ARE supposed to be hostile after all. Its just more fun when they duel politely.

If you have a high refresh rate monitor, force a high refresh rate in your GPU settings for DS3. Running 60fps with vsync off at 120hz mostly removes any tearing.

>>172958578
>you have to kill fucking all of them if you want to talk to Shira. Just a bit much.
To talk to Shira all you have to do is run up to the door, go left around the building and hide in the little gap. Wait for the first Harald Knight to walk all the way up, fail to see you, and then jump off the stairwell for some reason.

Now you can talk to her as long as you like, and when you've finished you plunge the knight.
