Playing after beating SoC treats the game as if you haven't yet, only you can enter his now-empty arena. Literally the only difference is if you summoned Yuria and she survived, and you can get the Firelink Set from the handmaid.

Of course it's possible to win invasions. The problem is how rarely do you get hosts that aren't competent or about to go inside a boss room.

I meant the recorder. There's no point in NOT being a dragonbro if you're not going to wear medium/heavy armor as the number of hits to kill is identical for none or light armor.

The thing about DS2's movement is that you can feintroll by pressing r1+roll that changes your roll timing or gets you out of nasty situations quicker and that had made or break my game. People who don't know about that mechanic often die to wakeup attacks or can't dodge some persistent spells and even then it won't save you from everything since it consumes more stamina, thus making it balanced in terms of stamina use. It's not like it grants you extra i-frames either but you can rollcatch people or even roll out of bad situations quicker by changing the roll timing.

They are boring and I've deleted most of those recordings let alone ever bother making a webm of it.

It's usually just me waiting for the perfect place to ambush them and killing the host and maybe dying to 2 or 3 phantoms before I fade out.

I don't run into a group of 4 people like I'm super man and expect to win. I wait for ambushes or snipe at them.

He's some random nobody from Ooacile that wasn't even suited for fighting but they made him a Spear of the church and he decided to stick around in a ancestral city because he found something worth protecting. As for what his motivations were whether he knew the truth about the Gods and the pygmies, we will never know but it's clear that he disregarded his original task to be there while everyone else he came with attempted to leave.

I find it also amusing that they made him a spear either because they find his loyalty worth knighting or they were really desperate to find volunteers.

What are you referring to in that webm? My last hit? I clip his feet, but he's using milkring so he's invisible at the point where I clip him. When I attack the game uses my version of events to decide if an attack was on target, so you don't see any positional oddities for my attacks, only the slight gap between the hitbox and end of the weapon model. Which isn't that much on a OWCS.

There's an NPC in Bloodborne with a lopsided face, and it seems that they added a hidden slider for controlling the angle at which the facial features line up in order to accomplish that.
>>
>>175778742
That almost never happens. Most host do not have 3 phantoms and if they do. Guess what? There's going to be a ton of invaders.

All I have to do is stall them or slow them down while more invaders show up and that is easily done at places i like to ambush from.

Usually if a host has phantoms they aren't going to sprint through. They are going to try to engage you out of over confidence.

>What was the truth about the Gods an Pygmies?
Serving the Gods in a penal city instead of defying them for casting the Darksign upon them and dooming all of Humanity to worship a separate race as omnipotent deities by sacrificing their own to artificially extend their reign upon them. Any human/pygmy should rightfully be pissed off that they got the smaller portion like the Pygmy lord you talk to right at the front of Ringed City.
>Also why does he wear a woman's dress?
Because he's a faggot pretty boy that came there for some scholarly mission.

I think another small thing that's interesting is that Halflight uses the Frayed Blade, a weapon associated with Midir. It was a once exquisite blade that's been stained black and frayed at the hilt. What I think is what happened is that Halflight alerted Shira to Midir's predicament when his sword became distorted and decrepit.

And you know, that's not a mindblowing leap, or anything, but it's a small little thing that I find very neat.

I recently came back to this game after playing for ~250 hours in the 2 months after launch. I wanted to love it so much. But there's just no escaping the fact that PvP is the worst its ever been in a dark souls game and it frustrates the hell out of me.

>Rolling gives so many iframes and costs so little stamina that even bad players can easily stalemate a fight just by spam rolling every attack.

>Stamina regenerates so quickly that stamina management is basically a nonfactor. Even if your opponent spams attacks at you with a UGS all they have to do is back up for 1.5 seconds and they're full again

>They completely reversed Bloodborne's backstab system so that fishing with a hornet ring is almost as effective as it was during the worst parts of DS1's PvP meta

>A combination of all of the above along with the way Hyper Armor works means that generally in PvP, attacking first is always the wrong move. Fights devolve into circling each other and waiting for the other person to make the mistake of throwing out an attack for you to either parry, backstab punish, poise through, or attack into for counter damage.

>99% of players are either using magic-buffed straightswords or an ultra-heavy weapon with a thrusting moveset. Magic is only for oneshot gimmick builds because every spell can be easily dodged on reaction.

I honestly think it's the worst PvP in the whole Soulsborne franchise. Yes, including Bloodborne which I also hated.

>the way Hyper Armor works
The lack of poise isn't the problem, you can see me kill this guy without flinching him. No amount of poise would have helped him, he cant flinch any less than "not at all". I don't disagree with your conclusions, but all DS1 poise would have done is given me, the straightsword user, additional options. Even in Ds1 the meta consisted mainly of doinga katana tap and backing off, the only difference now is that you get two hits instead of one.

No one's saying it's impossible, but there's no denying that rolling is much safer in DS3 than in previous games. In DS2 you'd die in seconds if you just spammed roll at someone who knew what they were doing, even with generous amounts of ADP.

retard alert

just favor toggle for infinite stamina and run away. Anyone chasing you has to use running R1's, so they can't be as fast as you or use favor toggling. Congratulations, you are now at the bossfog and have outskilled your opponent; remember to tell them that they're bad if they complain.

>>175782215
Literally who?
>>
>>175782187
The following are better at roll-catching than straightswords: halberds, spears, reapers, daggers, curved swords, greatswords, ultragreatswords, great hammers, hammers, katanas, and the list continues.
>>
>>175782056
All i know is that i win most invasions and most host especially those with phantoms do not run away from fights.

Usually only lone host sprint to boss or hide and I normally black crystal out if I can't find them because why waste ten mins looking for them whenI can invade in 15seconds after returning to my world.

If you want to prove some dumb theory about running to bosses then go do it yourself faggot. I'm not your personal army
>>
>>175781972
ok ill give you that in all fairness, but alot of slower weapons require certain things to necessitate roll catches

I feel like it might be a touch easier to roll catch on reaction with a straight sword compared to an ultra. You can still roll catch chain someone from 100-0 with a bkgs but you can easily double roll in the time you see the r1 coming

>They completely reversed Bloodborne's backstab system so that fishing with a hornet ring is almost as effective as it was during the worst parts of DS1's PvP meta

how? I'd say that backstab are completely useless in this game, players can just avoid them simply moving away, they don't even need to roll. The "grab/attack" the character does to initialize the backstab is far worse than a standard r1 since they removed every possible option select when attempting a bs (plus the fact that you can parry someone who's attacking you from behind while facing away from them makes it even more risky).
The only way I'd see people actually managing to bs one another is by using Perseverance and even then everyone would just backpedal away waiting it off.
Now, adding that most of the weapons in this game have an insane tracking and that you can get hit when you're about to confirm a bs, makes every sort of backstab fishing useless.

I'm an invader who doesn't cry about invasons unlike most of dsg.

I don't come to dsg to cry about getting fucked by gank squads and I'm not autistic enough to complain that i cant theoretically win 100% of invasions.

Building up 2 bars at once makes people panic, I often use a poison bandit knife or katana and people make stupid mistakes even if I don't proc the effects. Poison kukris would be a great addition to that playstyle. Even if I didn't end up using them it'd be nice if they were usable since they're already in the game.

I specifically don't want a fair fight retard, and I absolutely love trashing ganksquads; I actually get up in their face and do it solo instead of letting another red take the heat for me, like you do :^)

What I want is to keep the host's handicap and remove their win button. Name one reason why it should stay, you seem pretty keen on keeping it for someone who's just an "invader".

I'm like lv40 and it's +5. You don't use Shieldsplitter against shields anyway, you use it to catch rolls or whiff punish. It's a low investment early game option that isn't a straightsword, I mean the straightsword would be better, but everyone is sick of straightswords by now right?

Because even without your gimmick oneshot builds i still hold a 60~65% winrate at sl120 invasions.

And yes, everyone that plays on pc is CERTAINLY better. One of PS4's most recent tournaments banned PS4Pro users because they play at a better framerate and therefore have a better understanding of the game. PS4 is full of autist mouthbreathers who can't traverse a fucking level on their own.

Are there any metallic gloves that don't roll up the sleeves on the Deacon's Robes? I'm digging my look so far but I need some sort of armored gauntlets to complete the look and when the sleeves are rolled up it's just not the same. It kills my /fa/ boner to come so close to a combination of look and gameplay that I really like just to fall short due to some shenaniganry like rolled up sleeves. Closest thing I've got are the Iron Bracelets, but I'd like to avoid uncovered hands if at all possible.

>>175788058
Wrong. They're still slow and easy to punish. With a no regen rule in tournaments you can poke them for free out of footsies with a spear/rapier and just defend yourself. PS4 players just CAN'T do it because the frame rate doesn't allow them to. It's really sad.

I am. Just finished a few of them today before I closed out. Invasions are shit and the truth of the matter is, FROM is unlikely to try to fix what's left of ds3 since their last attempt barely did anything other than nerf seeds. But I'm still invading with the mindset that it's walk-or-fuck and everything else about the game is probably worth spending time over. Speculating fixes and claiming it's not a problem are wasting your time just like browsing 4chan or any timekilling hobby for the matter.

He's being pretty silly about it, but framerate does have a big impact if you're trying to play at a decent level. Small differences in how quickly you can identify animations or respond to stuff change the gameplay quite a bit. It's also reasonable to assume that PC players will be better on average, not just for framerate reasons but because competitive communities gravitate towards PC.

>. One of PS4's most recent tournaments banned PS4Pro users because they play at a better framerate and therefore have a better understanding of the game

The PSPro was banned from the tournament because higher framerate grants them an inherent advantage and causes fights with them to sometimes look laggy like a constant skipping when you have someone with near 60 FPS against someone locked at 30.

t. I'm a mod on the stream that hosted the tournament.

It has nothing to do with their skill at the game. I shouldn't even be replying to your bait but here I am. The PC players aren't bad but how many good known ones are there? I can only think of HundtiT and BrokenSword.

Essentially, yes.

However, it's still possible to land prediction/setup parries consistently since most players are very predictable.

It's easier to parry players than NPCs since players almost always do the same thing.
>>
>everyone STILL doesn't know about the parrying dagger tech where it has caestus startup frames if you hold block before parrying, and was designed by Fromsoft to alter it's own parrying timings for different weapon types and be a master parry tool and the shield guard is actually more of a stance

It tells you clearly in it's item description that it works best in the left hand. Everytime I post about it some idiot refers me to some frametable that means nothing because they didn't actually test parrying daggers tech because they don't even know about it.

>"A dagger made especially for parrying which is usually equipped in one's left hand in place of a shield."

They even give you a fucking clue where enemies that parry you enter a "guard" stance before doing so.

Literally 1 minute of testing on hollows at high wall will show you. Parry normally with just L2, and then try parrying while L1 is held down.

Because of latency almost nothing can be parried on reaction, correct. And of the things that are kinda slow enough for that to happen, they tend to be unparryable anyway; only exceptions are things like Chump's Charge where you can see it happening early enough to collect a free parry.

There are some ways to get more certain parries; for instance, if someone R1s you twice with a straight sword and you think they'll R1 again, you can mash L2 while you're getting hit and if you're using a caestus at least you'll parry the next R1 automatically.

But in general you just have to kind of know when someone will swing; is this a person who always rolls then R1s, does this person love doing R1 R1 R2 with his LKSS, etc.

I do arena PvP with it Anon. Though to be fair when I'm fighting a good opponent like 90% of my damage comes from R1 into Old Moonlight with the spells being only useful to bring them closer and apply some sort of pressure, or to finish them off. It was my first sorcerer though and I started using it last week so I have yet to learn to use my spells better.

I don't have webms, I play on PS4 and I never bothered with saving clips. You will have to take my word for it. And no I don't use soulmass, I really dislike the whole soulmass spam and backstepping with the back turned to the opponent and that kind of thing. I do use Affinity though, and I like trying to use it to make other spells land like Great Soul Dregs or Great Deep Soul. I'm probably not a good mage overall, like I said I just started and I have always played melee, but the build is effective enough for me to win most fights (not surprising given the average skill level of the arena player).

well with a mage you can catch rollers with darts, flashsword, souls spears. all i have with melee is my greatsword with one moveset. once i get them in a rollcatching trap i can usually finish them, but rollcatching doesn't really work when the guy is trying his hardest to evade you.

You can say that about every single attack in the game. You can roll to avoid anything.

GCFO is a great spell if you're good at predicting where people will roll.

It's particularly effective against aggressive players since you can just aim it at your feet and combo it into a black flame.

So what are the most well designed areas in the game? The ones that balance aesthetic, level design, enemy placement, bonfires, and shortcut placement?

I mean, the zones in DaS3 all feel more self-contained than the zones in DaS1, but I don't feel like the design itself has actually suffered all that much. It still feels nice when you take an elevator somewhere and realise that it leads back to a locked door you saw earlier on, because building loops like that into an area has to take a great deal of care, and has to be built into the architecture from the ground up.

I actually really like Cathedral of the Deep. The area with the crossbow hollows and dogs at the start that punishes you heavily for trying to charge it, despite being full of easy enemies, followed by a bonfire that you revisit half a dozen times. The graveyard bit that encourages urgency without actually being all that dangerous, and has a lot of alcoves and hiding places that you won't find without exploring a little. The rooftop gauntlet immediately afterwards is great. Very challenging for a new player, and leading right back to the Cleansing Chapel. It's a very well crafted sequence, in my eyes. The rest is lower quality, but the zone still stands out in my eyes.

I really love Cathedral of the Deep for the exact reasons as you mentioned.
I also like Grand Archives for the same reasons, ideally you have only one bonfire for the area and then one per a killed boss.

High Wall is imo great for the enemy placements, combat encounter design in general and the way the level loops into itself but they should've ditched the tower bonfire because the level works well enough without it.

Carthus.

I've always really liked the second half of Road of Sacrfices, the flooded woods section. It's maybe one of the more naturey levels in the game, and I'm a huge fan of old stone ruins that seem like they're being taken back by nature, which is why Forest of the Fallen Giants in my favorite level in DSII. It also really stands out against all the other swamp levels in the series in that it looks rather nice, not a poisonous bog of shit like Valley of Defilement, Blighttown, Harvest Valley or Nightmare Frontier.

Why are you starting from the second bonfire?

You can return to that area much more quickly from the first one. Kill the crossbow hollow on the roof, drop down onto the other roof, plunging attack the hollow with the axe, then hop into the lift. Volia, you're back to the area with the patrolling knights.

You really don't need another bonfire. Grab the flag from Emma and then go fight the boss and stop being a little bitch.

Darkroot Garden was one of my favourite zones in 1 for the same reasons.

Fuck Darkroot Basin though. The hydra automatically deducts a whole bunch of points for being fucking retarded to fight.
>>
>>175804205
I haven't been following the entire conversation, but what really helped me was just fighting him like Sanctuary Guardian.

Just backpedal and roll through attacks, take note of the side his head ends up at after each combo to get more time flailing at it. You can even just outspace some of them (with a charged R2) like the single attack after the roar.

Sens funhouse comes to mind, and really pushes new players to improve. A decent difficulty spike that shows the truth of souls, learning from your mistakes.

I can bring a pestilent mercury mage if you want but I thought that other guy was bringing one.
>>
>>175804267
The area with the patrolling knights, right? The door at the bottom of the stairs, as you correctly guessed, leads to the boss. The other way, past the knights, leads to Emma. You need to speak to her to proceed to the Undead Settlement.

Fight the knights one at a time. They're honestly one of the more challenging enemies. The strategy I would recommend for a new player is literally charge them, combo while they are staggered, then back the fuck off and repeat. Don't try to get into a slugfest with them because they'll probably kick your ass.
>>
>>175804290
Oh alright.. I guess I'll go to sleep then, good luck with him. If you would like to try tomorrow, I'm probably here.

>>175804632
I did but he jumped out of the mercury most of the time, and I only had one normal estus so he killed me when he had low health..
>>
>>175804307
You're supposed to be doing it at level 100. And the levels are really shitty. The feel like DaS2, while the first one felt more like DaS1. That said, I do actually like the boss fights other than them favoring one build too much. If their balance their resistances so every build was equally good against them they would have been perfect, especially Midir and the Princes.

I have very fond memories of the first couple of rooms in Sen's Funhouse. That cunt of a lightning mage on the top walkway stopped me dead for hours. Good times.

What about the guy who turns into the monster on the roof? I get behind him thinking that is his blind spot but I can't figure out his moves.

Ashes is mediocre. The look is nice, but the levels are meh, and it's also designed for higher SL.

Good boss though, Friede is honestly one of the hardest fights in the series.

>>175801362
I really like the layout of the undead settlement. A shame its very early game. Imagine if it was a level 45-60 area? It would be such a fun place to fuck around
>>

You bypass that guy entirely if you take the shortcut from the first bonfire, but yeah, Pus of Man is a bitch to fight because it hits like a truck and has super whacky hitboxes. Kill it before it transforms.

It's already one of the most fun places to invade in.

I had a lot of fun running around getting invaded at a low sl there.

Fire stuns them for a brief period and does heavy damage. Use them firebombs.
It won't stunlock them though, it takes a few seconds for another firebomb to stun it.
>>
>>175804307

>General thoughts

Meh. It's a little too short and boring. The Corvian Settlement is cool to explore the first time, and the end boss is pretty good. But unless there's something I need from it, I completely skip it on a new character.

Also, it's kinda tough at that level. It's not as tedious killing things if you're at 70.

You position yourself did that he has to walk into the cloud to attack you and cast after certain attacks of his.
>>
>>175805338
Yeah, I'm not really good at doing that unfortunately.. I have to practice that more, would be useful. Maybe crystal soulspearing him to death would be an option too, I hit his head for like 427 damage per spear.

>The PC players aren't bad but how many good known ones are there?
there would and should be 0, most PC players who play ds3 "at a competitive level" would already have a background in actual competitive games on the PC with large existing followings

voobly AoEII without the HD expansion is more competitively relevant then ds3, should give you an idea of how ds3 isnt really a good example of a competitive game considering it barely stands next to its peers

thats not to suggest ds3 or any souls game (past, present or future) cant be competitive, just not in the current state with the current balance mindset
mind you i would rather it not be competitive unless it can be done not at the expense of the rest of the actual game, a game like ds3 would be rather "sterile" if made into an actual competitive game
>>
DaS3 is a good game.

>>175805825
Too skinny would not coop

>>175806115
Well, guess I'll practice a little tomorrow. Maybe I'll be able to help people kill this boss then.

What the fuck is with the matchmaking in DS3?

I'm trying to co-op with my friend but we can never see each other's summon signs; if we do, it just times out or fails to connect altogether.

We can summon/be summoned by other people just fine.

I want to make a low level invader, but the thought collecting all that late game equipment with +2 just to invade Undead Settlement and Road of Sacrifices is a huge deterrent.
Do you get any decent activity at High Wall? That seems like it would be fun.

Hey invader guys.

All the scrubs are in Ariandel.
>>
>>175803224
It doesn't, unless you manage to hit all the phantoms at once like in that image.

99/100 times the lag is going to be bad enough that one of the phantoms won't get hit, you'll be staggered out of your followup swing, and then comboed to death by the host and white phantom. This video is the 1/100 exception where he gets the positioning just right to hit both.
>>
>>175806786
i invade more often at the settlement since most of the people I invade at high wall seem to just want to get to the actual game. I only did it that low so I can grind a shit ton of souls, back up my save, and then level up and in theory invade anywhere. Its also pretty funny to walk around with super twinked rings and 7 +10 estuss since I only muled 2 rings over and legitly got all the twink gear I need without summons.

Undead settlement is a nice map but low level invasions have little build variety if you want to be optimal and everyone does shit damage otherwise.

everyone in dark souls is a pygmy evidenced by the fact that gwyn is little and hollowed while the pygmy knights are obviously able to be pretty large

Trying to co-op in DS1 makes me now realize why DS3 prioritizes invaders only for 2/3 phantom hosts.

>>175807062
yea its shit all my fingered runs turn to shit because I dont like summoning people to help me going through the level (I like taking my sweet ass time if I want, having whites with me makes me feel rushed) and so I never get invaders. Im also usually too low level. Git gud invaders. Im sl 20 in the catacombs with a +2 weapon fucking come get me.
>>
>>175807061
i was under the assumption that "Pygmy's" are fundamentally the same as "gods" like Gwyn except more aligned with dark instead of fire

they are referred to as pygmies because they are small in comparison to the gods and the mortal descendants of the pygmies (or maybe a cross between gods and pygmies i don't know) are humans

An honest death is what you need.
>>
>>175807797
Melee only is still a handicap. Once you add greatbow sniping, ledge and ladder abuse your win rate goes up since you've knocked out a phantom or two (or even the host) and then you have a much easier time running down a lone host.

If you're using meta shit like Gael's or Splitleaf your win rate will go through the roof since one combo wombo will kill or cripple them.

Is it possible to go pure Bow/Greatbow? I want to shoot everything with tree trunk sized arrows.

how dead is the game at higher levels (150+?)

Finally went and started a pure caster character. Planning on using a Longsword as my melee weapon for the whole game and focusing on casting. Minimal investment into non-int stats until I hit 60.

That said, how much dex would be appropriate for casting time with Sage's Ring?
>>
>>175807585

Use mob ambushes to murder phantoms, once all phantoms are dead proceed to kill host with superior PvP skills.

i make the distinction between human, "god" and "pygmy" because humans have both pygmy and god traits while not having any of their explicit weaknesses
