It's fairly likely that guy was baiting super hard last thread, but I think that everyone here is at least unconciously aware that there are real people that truly think that way out in the world. And from what it seemed, y'all niggas still have heart.

So here's to that Ashen One we may never co-op or invade again, because of heartlessness of the people he has the misfortune to have as his family.

For pve heavy great soul arrow just can not be beat. Actually it may surprise you all but normal old soul arrow is second best.

What's the absolute highest level I should be if I want to GET summoned for Jolly Co-Op in the Road of Sacrifices/Farron Keep area? I'd like to hit a level that gives me a very wide range of places to co-op but I feel like Road/Farron are some of the biggest places where people would like/appreciate help, so I'd like to make sure to include that area if at all possible. I feel like going any higher than 40 would be way too much, but I'd like to get an idea of where other people end up when they reach that point. It's hard for me to gauge personally since I'm usually around 32~36 when I get there since I always drop my sign a couple times at each boss.

>>175105269
for some reason LKGS is the only weapon I can find that does INSANELY well with the blessed infusion, probably because the faith scaling applies to both physical & lightning and it gets great scaling values

at 24/16/60 (min phys stats + 60 faith)
Blessed is 185 + 266 (451) phys & 113 + 131 (244) lightning for total of 696
Lightning is 157+38 (195) phys 231 + 246 (477) lightning for total of 674

40/16/60 becomes 720 (blessed) & 692
40/40/60 becomes 773 & 733
>>
>>175105437
In the lore it said Mytha chopped their heads off, but it was probably the Devs adding a few lines of text rather than making a new mask.
The mask was added in SOTFS but they still didn't put it on for some reason, probably because they didn't want to add new hitboxes for them.
>>
>>175105437
I think there was some lawsuit or something for being too similar to some anime or something so they removed the heads to avoid it

The young white branch is a token of friendship from the giant in the tower. Don't use it, nigga. Having it in your inventory somewhere means he won't shoot his arrows at you when you're near one of the white birches; he will kill all other enemies close to them though.

Am I missing anything Seigward had? I know he had emit force but I swapped it out for projected heal since you need 28 faith for sacred oath anyway, and I tacked on a filly chime because I had spare weight. Might use a bellvine instead. Seigmeyer in DS1 wore one of the tearstone rings I believe (as did his daughter, even though they're from carim), does Seigward use one?

Does this have enough AR/HP for it's level? Leaning too far one way or the other? I'm gonna assume it isn't worth blessing my 28/28 zwei sine it only gives me 9 more AR than a raw zweihander while twohanding.

Also holy fuck, Havel's ring gives you a lot more equipload than I remember. Life +3 is giving me around 7 levels of HP, but Havel's is saving me 12 on vitality even though my base vig is higher.

>>175107703
That’s it. I’m sick of all this “Masterwork Bastard Sword” bullshit that’s going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I’m talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that’s about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.
Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.
Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I’m pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.
Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That’s right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:
(One-Handed Exotic Weapon) 1d12 Damage 19-20 x4 Crit +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon) 2d10 Damage 17-20 x4 Crit +5 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don’t you think?
tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.

They're not bad.

They're just not as good as they were in previous games. You need to know spacing and timing to use katanas correctly.

They're not for braindead R1 mashers. Go pick up a straight sword or greatsword with perseverence instead.

Either he tried to hit a button two times in a row assuming that you would try to back off or were out of stamina, or it's some weird hitbox latency magic.

First scenario isn't too crazy though. The first was a guess, but he knew you'd be low on stam after four swings and it was a little better of a guess that you'd try to roll away or something.

His fault for not having a parry tool out I guess.

The balance is horrendous, connection is non-existent, your IP is public knowledge to anyone that is connected to the match, people can limit their connection to you to teleport around your screen easily, the game revolves around gear that you can only get at the 3rd prestige to be viable which THEN costs steel which either takes a fuck ton of times to farm or costs a bunch of IRL money (again, the entire game relies on this because it is such a massive boost to have maxed gear than not), there are glitches in the fighting such as UI glitches, animation glitches, straight up blocking glitches, the devs don't deal with the balance of a character that is so outright OP that they are completely banned from tournaments because they LITERALLY (not figuratively, I am using it correctly) LITERALLY can win just by pressing mouse1 and swinging their mouse around/R1 swinging right stick around because the character attacks faster than some of the characters can even switch guard directions and even then they are nearly faster than reaction speed for the others. Not to mention even if people have SOLID PROOF of issues happening (such as a character being grabbed out of an attack which is supposed to be impossible see to the side) the devs don't give a shit.

A good game idea was completely destroyed by ubisoft. I can go on but I'm getting pissed just thinking about the game again.

Calm down nigga, For Honor was an engine tech demo they sold as a game to recoup the backend development costs. They obviously never intended to put any real money towards post-release support. Instead they bought out a bunch of e-celebs (cheap) to promote the game as an esport and draw in the fighting game crowd.

You have only yourself to blame for getting caught up in paid hype and wasting money on what is essentially a half-assed game slapped over a glorified engine demo.

>side mode
It's the mode the game was made for, the one most people play, and people that only play a single game mode (ie 1v1) deserve their shame of buying the game even more than anyone else. You can meme yourself into thinking 1v1 is better off because it doesn't have gear but you and I both know that isn't true.

it's shit

The differences between each of characters are "does this character have impenetrable defense?" and "does this character have a mixup opening which is faster than human reaction time?". It's like gathering a bunch of larpers near the edge of a cliff and giving half of them swords and half of them shields with C4 taped to the front.

The fact that ubishit balances off of raw character winrate instead of matchup comparisons should tell you everything you need to know about how fucked the game is. More popular characters have a higher chance of encountering a mirror match, and very mirror match adds one win and one loss to the character being used, bringing its winrate closer to 50/50. You'd think this was obvious, yet ubishit is too retarded to realize that this is why PK's winrate is medicore in spite of her literally being banned from tournament play.

And even if mirror matches were weeded out, having a 50/50 winrate doesn't mean the character is balanced. Let's say we've got characters A and B, who have a 50/50 winrate against eachother, but character C wins every match against A and loses every match against B. Without C the game was balanced, but C's existence makes A's winrate inflate, B's winrate deflate, while C remains at a perfect 50% winrate assuming equal populations for each character. But of course ubishit has no comprehension of this.

>>175113276
Oh man the funny shit, thE FUNNY SHIT? The single worst character in the entire roster was only viable in ONE game mode, and that was only because he could push/throw people off cliffs! That's it! The devs straight up said "in 1v1 matchups he has ~30% win ratio, but in 4v4 modes he win ratio is 59-64%! He's balanced! We can't buff his attacks so he is vaible in 1v1 without making him extremely viable in 4v4 modes." Which ALL HE DOES is push people off cliffs or flip them over his back so team mates can kill them. He doesn't actually do any damage. The funny thing about this is that the game counts assists as kills, so they can't see that he barely ever gets actual kills.
This is it. This is all he does that made it so he has a high win rate / kills.
>>
>>175113480
Looks like you're drawing from a pair of sheaths sticking out from the waist.
If I had to guess, it's probably related to 2kat. The hand positions seem to line up with the sheaths. Maybe an early weapon switch animation for it, or a cut Hold stance motion for paired weapons.
>>
>>175113493
there's nothing to fall for, you either get hit by the HCSM or the CSS if the caster timed it correctly
>>
>>175113690
You clearly go into 2h at the end, so it'd make sense for either the cut Greatsword/Longsword combo, or Farron Greatsword.

I don't disagree, but by the same token I could almost just as easily say "if it weren't for the shitty balance, 1v1 would have been great".

>lawbringer
They actually did buff him recently, their specific wording was "we don't want the buff to make him better at 4v4," but the reason why he was good at 4v4 was because people who used him knew what the fuck they were doing and had essentialy been tortured to the point that they'd use the most "underhanded" tricks possible. Of course, the buff was just to make him more similar to the retarded characters as opposed to something inventive. Now he has more damage, a guaranteed block into R1 (or maybe shove into R1, which would still be guaranteed off of a block), and faster chain speed. So basically he's got a lightweight version of warlord's old fullblock hitconfirm, and against noobs you can mash buttons for chains and beat the shit out of them.

Something interesting i just learned from my last int build

Preacher arm's weapon art does not scale at all off of int, it's purely str scaling, and it does not get increased from 2handing it. However, the WA gets a damage increase if you left-hand it, and your main weapon is buffed in any way, including CMW and resins. Despite this, even at min requirement stats, the arm does insanely good damage.
I've heard reports that if you have one in each hand, spamming L2 will alternate the arms. Does each one's upgrade level matter? Does it increase the damage or rate of attack?

I used it to buff people in the Abyss Watchers fight, and all the three of the Arby's Walkers did is spam their rolling attack. All three. And they targeted nobody else but me. Even worse, is they did it infinitely and chased me across the room until I was dead. Again when I was fighting Pontiff Knights, they infinitely spammed their sword slam attacks.

They actually made his shove confirm into R1? That's some fucking crazy shit that they are actually listening to people. I remember my MASSIVE list of lawbringer buffs on plebbit that was slapped on the front page for 2 days. It seems like they actually read it.

Also if that other anon is still reading these messages, this is basically what you can expect from most matches. A single person rage leaves and the entire match connection drops and returns you to the main menu.

Coming back to DS3 after a months-long break via the TFF edition on my ps4.

I love DS3, the environments look awesome and it evokes feelings of Demon's Souls in a good way, but for some reason I can't shake the feeling of how clunky DS and DS in general feels after a couple of months of Bloodborne. I missed the knighty stuff of Souls but the weapon movesets and the way R1s and R2s combo in Bloodborne is something I can't help but to be reminded of when playing.

But, DS3 is pretty awesome nonetheless.

Exactly. I enjoy weapon diversity, but I feel like DaS3 just has too many weapons that are plain downgrades. A unique, interesting weapon is worth a dozen generic ones. There should be some kind of middle-ground to be reached.

the first 27 levels of vigor give huge amounts of HP, and the ones afterward are worth it up till around 39 depending on who you ask

you'll start off feeling like you have too little endurance at the start and then too much at the end, for some reason the levels start to become slightly more rewarding as you approach the cap (40) rather than less like every other stat

As far as pve goes you're arguably better off rolling, but I don't think shields are bad or anything. As far as pvp goes high-stability shields are really good, which includes the four highest stability midshields plus any greatshield that has 100% physical damage protection.

We already figured out that the fire was always gonne be around since DS1 and Artorias of the Abyss.
DS2 actually does a theme: Want. It actually dares to inject some depth and proper storytelling techniques to what was previously you playing an archaeologist, trying to tie together the history of the land.


Life is brilliant. Beautiful. It enchants us, to the point of obsession.
Some are true to their purpose, though they are but shells, flesh and mind.

Others chase the charms of love, however elusive.

>44

lmao

the 45th level is the first level after 27 to drop down 2 points from the previous instead of at most 1, and it only gives 9 hp

The five levels from 39 to 44 give a mere 70 HP in total if you're already using life and favor, a mere 5% HP increase for five levels. You can obtain five levels by giving up a ringslot, which just as easily could be used for 10% hp from the life ring instead; five levels for 5% health is half of what you'd expect. Even on a warrior, five levels of investment and a single ringswap lets you cast replenishment for potentially 300 more HP. Even if the buff only runs for a quarter of its duration you get more health than you would by spending those five levels on vigor. You're even better off leveling vitality for armor at that point.

So what if the game is a mishmash of areas that don't make sense geographically? It's a gripe but not a game breaking one. Besides, it also helps with the ideas the story is playing with: You're losing your mind. The world itself is making less and less sense as time goes on as the grip of the curse is strengthening. You're turning back into a base life form: a hollow with no identity and no memories of your own. A mindless dreg that has no drive.

DS3 just shit the bed and instead of expanding on ideas, it just used the lore of DS1 as a crutch rather than a jumping off point to what was already a completed story.
Because if you're gonna do a fatalistic tone, telling the player that you have zero choice in the matter and you're a pawn of greater forces than yourself, THEN ATLEAST DO IT FUCKING RIGHT. Pic very much related.

I like to think that Tsorig encountered the Bearer of the Curse at some point. Or at the very least, he's meant to represent an Undead that went through the DLCs. It's a nice thought, thinking someone like that continues to exist by the time of 3.

The introduction of cycles wasn't an inherently bad thing though. 3 handles it poorly, but some of the ideas introduced in 3 feel like the natural conclusion of things suggested in 2.

And personally, I feel like 2's introduction of cycles was a natural conclusion of things suggested in 1.

I don't think 2 messed up anything more than 3 did. If you're going to blame one then you have to blame the other.

>it also helps with the ideas the story is playing with: You're losing your mind. The world itself is making less and less sense as time goes on as the grip of the curse is strengthening.

>DS3 just shit the bed and instead of expanding on ideas, it just used the lore of DS1 as a crutch rather than a jumping off point to what was already a completed story.

That's pretty blatant favoritism. You're willing to give DaS2 the benefit of the doubt for half-heartedly justifying the game being broken to bits and glued back together on a shoestring budget after abandoning its initial themes and pretty much scrapping its entire original story, and then criticize DaS3 for it's lore execution.

I liked the tone 2 was going for with its idea of cycles, I just wished they had someone a bit more inspired to write the lore. The evolution from a world where gods are the revered worldchangers to kings made sense in the context of a world where people have realized that godly power is basically just exchangeable currency that can be inherited, stolen, traded, etc.

Cycles were inherently bad. The true end was supposed to happen as soon as an Age of Dark happened. It was analogous to Ragnarok (i.e. twilight of the gods).

(Kaathe and such are the world snake, eternal dragon in ash lake was Nidhogg, etc.)

The whole reason the dark sign looked like a solar eclipse was to signify that the gods were being overshadowed by humans.

I like the aesthetic and style of AC4/FA but god damn they were unfinished, unbalanced, glitchy pieces of shit to play. The speed "feels" good but it's a gimmick that lasts about 30 seconds and then you realize how bad the rest of the game is.

Eat dick and choke on it. I'm not saying it was intentional but it does FIT with what the story is doing.

>>175122786
DS3 doesn't attempt storytelling the same way as DS2. It's repeating the techniques in every other title in this meta franchise. Besides Bloodborne, DS2 has the most story going on within the confines of the actual game.
DS3 doesn't have a theme the same way that DS2 has for Want. A theme they hammered so much home that they named the final area of the game after it.

I mean, the rings are just multipliers aside from the prisoner's chain. The chain is significantly better at lower levels; it adds 15 SL, 5 of which are on vig, and has a 4%* defense penalty. At low levels where the vigor returns are huge, they dwarf the penalty. At high levels, they start to match it. Though it's generally worth using it as a means of hitting 39.

*the asterisk is because it's different in PvP, I think it typically comes out to 8% at most against phantoms.

Though overall it always is a little lower than that due to how absorption peices add together; if you had a piece which was stated to block 50% and another which also blocked 50%, rather than cumulatively blocking 50% they'd first shave off half, then afterward shave off half of the remaining damage for a total absorption of 75%. If you've got a piece that has negative absorption, in an odd way it brings the effect of the rest of the pieces up a little since they have a larger amount of stuff to shave off. You can see this on the stat screen: if you're naked the chain removes 4%, but if you're at around 30% absorption or so, equipping the ring will only drop it by around 3% instead.

It was easy to learn and hard to master. The people in that vid I posted would wreck your ass (probably mine too), so it is not as brain dead easy as you are making it out to be. It was just more skill, and less gear, dependent. Whether than is good or bad is debatable, but I liked it.

It couldn't agree more. Dark Souls has an interesting setting with some fairly clear themes throughout the series, but the story is hardly fantastic. If you have to read item descriptions and put together hints from random pieces of dialogue, that's not great storytelling.

No. You don't get to pull that "head canon" crap. Not when Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1 exist to give you a middle finger to that assessment. All the necessary answers are there in both games.
There's a difference between filling the blanks like
>What were the Giants in Tomb of the Giants
>Who made Priscilla
Or
>Why is Ludwig's beast form reminiscent of a horse when every other beast looks more like canine like
And the crap you're suggesting.
Miyazaki might have had to make up shit of his own in order to figure out the untranslated books that he owned but guess what? Those books actually had a proper narrative within them.

>It was easy to learn and hard to master.

As someone who has been playing AC competitively since ~2005, ACVD is much harder to master and much more demanding than ACFA was. ACFA is not less gear dependent, the gear was just so badly balanced that it didn't matter.

ACFA also had some seriously broken mechanics, to a point where you could take the prior games (ACLR) and the future games (ACV/VD) seriously in tournaments, but not 4th generation (maybe AC4, since it had actual EN punishments for fucking up a 2nd/3rd stage boost and permaflight came at a cost). The network lag is also the worst in ACFA of any from soft title.

There were also a few objectively best builds that exploited that. If you built a blader for maximum speed, it was entirely possible to hit people faster than their game can register your location.

You can like it, but the game was made to please reviewers that would get impressed by the visual style. All the multiplayer in it was incidental and lacked depth. It's closer to DeS multiplayer in terms of how much exploitation there was.

Maybe in ac4a but not in acv or acvd. I'm legit god tier and was ranked highly on the leader board.

Ac4 and 4a were fun but its just quick boosting for the most part. There arent any advanced tech that I'm aware of although to be honest I didn't put much time into it.

Acv and acvd have some really advanced maneuvering you can do and there is still the precision boost thing. When you get good at wall kicks theres just nothing like it.

Try your best not to be stupid. Something has to give for a sequel to take place, and more often than not sequels do inherently undermine their predecessors, but no, cycles were not an inherently bad idea. Cyclical behavior was a part of the games from the get go.

It's stylistic storytelling. People who think video games should be books or movies tend to act like this is inferior, but it's taking advantage of benefits of video games as a medium. It's putting the onus on you, the player, to invest in the world, to pay attention, and draw conclusions as though you're a part of the world instead of just a viewer witnessing it, which naturally couples with video games giving you the responsibility of carrying out the action and interactions of the world.

Don't take my word for it, go ask /acg/ , or just watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOvtN2mksv8

ACVD plays faster, requires more precision, has more complex maps, you die faster, and you are much more heavily punished. You have all the maneuvering of ACFA but the tolerances are tigher getting it wrong is so much more punishing.

ACFA lets you move across the -ground- faster, but ACVD demands better reaction time because the ranges, acceleration, and bullet velocities are so much tighter. Players move in and out of the screen and cover much faster.

I don't understand how people can post stuff like this. Blatant favoritism?

Do people really think Dark Souls 3 had a theme that it executed well over the course of a compelling narrative? Are people really looking at the narrative of Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 2 and thinking, "Yeah, Dark Souls 3 lives up to this,"?

Dark Souls 3 barely works, and only as a conclusion to both games. If we went into it right out of 1 without 2 to better contextualize things, it would fall apart.

>Dark Souls 3 had a theme?

Dark Souls 3's theme is that endlessly recycling the same shit is bad. It was a meta theme, acting as commentary on the cycles of Linking the Fire in universe as well as out of universe making games under contract by Bamco. The Corvian settler in AoA makes it the most explicit, referring to everyone who wants to languish in rot as fools, and saying how it's best to simply let it burn away entirely and create something new to take its place.

The Lords being resurrected and being forcefully dragged back to the shrine represent From Software getting dragged back to make the game by Bamco.

Enough to poise through 2H greatswords.
Astora needs more than other UGS because it lacks stomp. 41.3 is the 80% or 'compromised' poise breakpoint, but since Astora has no safe way to refresh full poise effectiveness, it needs to aim for that higher breakpoint. Its low weight makes this fairly easy.

That kind of theme, even as a meta commentary, strikes me as an excuse to get away with sub par content.

The characters could have been more compelling. The narrative still feels flimsy and somewhat abridged. They should have done more to emphasize their theme. I'm not saying they needed to beat you over the head with it, but just a little more to make it come off as intentional instead of a copout would have been fine.

You forgot the Deep by the way.

No.

DaS1 was perfectly standalone, but if you wanted a sequel, all you had to do is say that the first chosen undead linked the fire. Hell Big M even said that if you saved Solaire then he would have linked the fire in his own world.

Since they decided to keep the Solaire meme alive anyway, then all they needed to do was say that DaS2 took place in the world where Solaire linked the fire. Boom, world fit for the sequel with no need to introduce cycles.

I don't know if you just don't get it, or if you just don't want to, but that in and of itself would have propagated the dying of the flame, the decline of the age of fire, and someone else coming along to link it in their place, just as they had done with Gwyn.

In other words, a fucking cycle. The SAME thing would have happened again ANYWAY, because that's what happened with GWYN.

No, it is not. Extending a line does not make it a circle.

The entire point of kindling the fire was that there was no cycle. When the flame went out, you had reached the end of the line. That's why they were so desperate to keep it going.

DaS2 introduced cycles. Doesn't matter if the flame goes out or the lord souls disappear because they will just show up again later.

No one has said they were great storytelling but there are ways to do this stuff right. Dark Souls 3 isn't it.
>>175128185
>Doesn't matter if the flame goes out or the lord souls disappear because they will just show up again later.
So what does Dark Souls 3 do that apparently Big M manages to "salvage" it from DS2. Because what you're saying is exactly what was present in both. Dark Souls 3 takes it even further than 2 ever did. It's all a cycle.

Was the flame fading at the time of DaS2?

I always thought that sitting upon the throne of want summoned the flame to that location so that it could be linked, but not that it was in a state akin to DaS1/3.

>>
>>175128267
Sure, it could be, but it's not what we are talking about. You're just trying to argue semantics because you know you have already lost.

No one is complaining about linking the fire. That shit happened in DaS1. People are complaining about "cycles" as introduced by DaS2, in that nothing matters because everything just repeats forever. There is no reason to worry about linking the fire, because even if you don't it will come back on its own.

That is the problem.

>>175128357
They could have just made a sequel that took place at the same time as DaS1, but had it focus on where the real boobie giant was. It if they wanted real hype, set it during the war against the eternal dragons.

I don't understand how this is a problem though.

I always thought the fire doing that was a healthier alternative to linking it in the first place, and that linking it was an inherently selfish action.

>>175128739
Cycles were created in DS1 with gwyn linking the fire. If him linking the fire isn't the start of a cycle then nothing is a cycle. Him doing that started the cycles instead of just having the age of fire end and move into the age of dark. Instead because of him (In DS1 mind you, not DS2) fire fades, someone burns, fire grows bright, fades, someone burns, etc.

Saying it started in DS2 doesn't make sense because the entire game series is about how gwyn did it in DS1.

DaS2 DLC was garbage. The only thing even remotely decent was the level design for the opening areas in the Sunken DLC.

>>175128904
The entire point of linking it was you were basically sacrificing everything to keep it going because the alternative was terrifying, and there was no coming back from it once it happened.

>>175129112
You're clearly retarded so let me dumb it down for you.

I honestly think it just summons the flame to its location, but what I find harder to understand is what the throne IS and how it accomplishes such.

>then explain what that "way out" was faggot?
I don't know. Because Dark Souls 3 dropped the plotline entirely. Notice how items from DS2 are in DS3 with zero logical sense. That's how little a shit they gave about continuing the story from 2.
>you literally can't because there was nothing in the second ending other than pretentious dialogue
Literally expanding on the theme of the story and giving you the only true choice you can ever make in the Souls games.

Do you guys like to build a character based off yourself or your build?
I dont mean, im incredible buff so I wield a hammer bigger than a mattress. Or im super smart irl so ima mage.

But rather, my interests are running and it gives me an otter mode type body.
So in a video game i could transform that into an agile character. Which becomes your character in ds3

Or do you just say, Time to be bigger than a bear and wield a hammer bigger than a mattress?

I'm a scrub in dark souls 3, it's my first souls game, I've beaten it (no dlc) as knight and assassin, but my builds were a complete mess and it could have been way easier than it was. I just started my thief run, at firelink now, only tutorial boss down, any recommendations on a weapon I should replace my starting dagger with early on, if I should replace it at all? I'm planning on using anri's straight sword and a luck build, is this a bad idea? If so, can I get suggestions on an alternative before I waste time messing up another character build?

>>175129067
>There's gonna be another Souls game or Souls like game being made and we're gonna gobble it up.

Yeah, that's kind of the fucking point. That's explicitly what was going on with the Painting too. They want the fire to die, and for the painting to burn, because then a new flame can be lit, a new painting made, without being bound by the trappings of the existing ones.

The cycle of Linking the Fire led to the same shit coming back each time, the "reincarnation" aspect. Forestalling the flame consuming the Painted World left it fetid and stagnant. Letting them end and allowing something new to be created naturally is presented as the proper direction. The world didn't need the cycles to survive, they only began because Gwyn was too scared of the dark to let the fire die out and allow things to proceed as they should.

No, they don't, because if they are perfectly circular they their is not exit to them.

It was Great actually. Top tier level design, fun enemies, good gear, introduced an arena, etc. The only downside to it was that it was on the short side.

DaS2 DLC was trash other than the first areas in the sunken DLC with the arrow puzzles. The rest of the DLCs were just uninspired.

Yeah, it kind of was. Walking away from the flame is what causes the age of dark. All your character in DaS2 does is walk away. If that doesn't cause the age of dark or something else happens then it is on DaS2 to explain it.
