Is the anon who wanted Shiva's armor here?

>>181659505
You're just being deliberately retarded. There is a soft cap for status effects, it's just that they're generally not worth investing into Luck for.

You might as well just say that the soft cap for Faith is 7 because Miracles are shit most of the time.

>>181659523
40/40 is the cap for Fire damage Pyromancies. 45/45 is the cap for Dark damage spells in general.

>>181660313

Just report him.

>>181660531
Yes, and that video is outdated after at least three major patches affected Luck, including the nerf to Rouge and buff to status-based infusions.

Everybody knows that Luck is a shit stat to level. That does not mean that there's no soft cap for leveling the stat. Again, you're being deliberately retarded.

So after upgrading the BKGA and OWCS, I checked the damage of their combos.
I should've actually played with the BKGA more so I could remember the damage, but I think it was 950+. The 700+ AR along with that combo is very nice.
The OWCS consistently hit 850+ with the combo. The most common numbers that popped up were 851 and 854.

No fuck your pasta nerd

Ok so in dark souls 3 I'm in irithyll and my stats feel weird. I wanna respect. Basically vigor, endurance and strength are 20 and dexterity is 25. I was reading that getting 27 vigor and 20ish endurance plus enough vitality to equip my favorite armor is the most important thing. Should I use the respec glitch or is my solid 20ish in everything ok for now as long as I just pump vigor to 27 next?

I've always been so fucking bad at how to level stats in soulsborne because I never know if defensive or offensive should come first.

>>181667285
25 vig
15 end

>>181667336

That's what should be very first?

>>181664848
FUCK YOU
I'm new here. Is this supposed to be bait or make people mad or some shit?

>>181666073
Why are you linking this to me?

>>181667285
27 VIG will carry you through all PvE content.

END depends on your weapon choice. If you use a big weapon you get more, ultra weapons work best with 30+. If you're using a curved sword or a straight sword you can make do with 22 or so. There are a few breakpoints that it is optimal to stop at.

VIT is /fa/ souls, yes, but it's also important for BOISE if you're using an ultra or great weapon.

Sounds like you're going for quality, which gives you plenty of weapon variety. It's a good first character build.

Do you find yourself missing the extra roll distance?

>>181670462
Boss weapons and unique weapons, along with some normal weapons with high str and dex requirements. Farron GS, Profaned GS, Hollowslayer GS, Curved Wolf GS, Gael's GS, Storm Curved Sword, Dragonslayer Swordspear, the Black Knight weapons, Dancer's swords, etc. are all best on a quality build.

That's what quality is for. Everything else you will either be better going sharp or heavy for.

rolls are rather extreme in DS3, so unless you're playing some cqc antics (and even then, quickstep is better) the 30% roll isn't usually worth requiring vit investment for. It's not like previous games where there was no real stat cost to going below 25 / 30%, the damage gains you get by going naked are so bad that you need some vit investment to stay under 30% with most weapons, even wearing rags

I honestly cant stand how "in your face" this game is with it's lore.

Like how EVERY FUCKING LOADING SCREN has an irrelevant piece of lore from fucking item pieces, like nothing to do with the boss you're about to face, just some random fact about a knight no one gives a shit about.

It's genuinely the only thing I'd change about all of the games. Try a little subtlety or something I dunno

The point is to give you the chance to discover things on your own and see how they interconnect. That's why they don't just plop NPCs around before bosses telling you exactly what this boss's lore is before you fight them. If you're the kind of player that needs the game to tell you who a boss is directly before you fight them in order to feel like there's a point, then GTFO of dark souls, because that's the opposite of what this game's trying to do.

I do agree with you but also you gotta remember two blues isn't as dangerous as it sounds. While levelling a pyro earlier I had a blue manage to die to a dude using a fucking

It's not about AR, it's about %. AR is just the attack power before moveset modifiers and defenses are taken into account.

60 more AR on a weapon with 200 base damage should do more than double damage against most enemies. 60 AR on a weapon with 600 base damage will do about 10-20% more damage.

>hey, why does strawman stereotype act like a strawman stereotype?

Shitty stereotypes aside, it's because there's a huge double standard with the rhetoric around DS2 thanks to people like matthewmetosis. You can shitpost on DS2 for days and get lots of hugbox replies over it but you aren't allowed to even like DS2 without qualifying it with a huge argument or tons of disclaimers about your personal opinion.

>>181676712
For a lot of them(and to be clear, I have no issue with people who do like Dark Souls 2), it's just about having the opinion that gets them the most attention. It's why you see people who slammed the game previously come out and say they were "wrong" about it from time to time now. It used to get attention to shit on Dark Souls 2 when it was at it's peak and it's now "different" to say you liked it.

None of this shit really matters at the end of the day though. Play the Souls you like and ignore the horrible community the best you can.

>>181676979

>>181677836
>It used to get attention to shit on Dark Souls 2 when it was at it's peak and it's now "different" to say you liked it.

Nah, shitting on DS2 still gets you the most attention. Shitting on DS3 might get you more attention but because of how DS3 threw DS2 under the bus by taking really nothing of value from DS2 in terms of gameplay or lore the popular opinion is now that DS2 isn't a real souls game.

But probably 80-90% of players literally don't give a fuck about either game. It's only the few thousand (or hundred) content creators and community posters that keep the stereotypes alive, most people just played the games and then moved on.

In Japan they don't even focus on the games individually, it's all about loving the company or not, hating one of their games but loving the others is weird.

>>181677836
>Play the Souls you like and ignore the horrible community the best you can.

As an alternative, though: Get good at invading and then dumpster people from that community like the bitter, narcissitic shell of a human being that you are.

I like DS2 (not as much as the others, but still very enjoyable) and I think Matthewmatosis's shitty video is the reason there is such a divide in the community now.
He over exaggerated virtually all of his points which only further enhanced the skepticism surrounding having a sequel to a critically acclaimed game. Because of that video it became popular to criticize it and almost every player went through the game with this critical mindset aiming to pull apart the game and find every flaw they could.
However I don't think that excuses what is happening with the resurgence in support of DaS2, because it is simply a reversal of what happened with DaS2 now with DaS3 taking its place. People become overly critical of DaS3 and then ignore many flaws in DaS2 to hype it up and feel correct to obtain some feeling of superiority over the 'masses'. It's a small movement if anything, but at its heart is really just snarky contrarianism that pays little attention to the actual fun in DaS2 and all the souls games.

There's a lot at play with the whole divide thing.

I've made peace with it the whole thing and don't shitpost about DS2 being horrible anymore, but I'll fully admit back in the day I contributed to it. Dark Souls reached a huge audience relative to Demon's Souls, but in my mind Dark Souls 2 was when it went fully "mainstream" and drew in the sort of players who might not have picked up the game before. As someone who really liked Dark Souls 1 and didn't like the mechanical changes they made to Dark Souls 2, I got pretty pissed at times listening to people who were clearly new to the series telling me how things should be. I know a lot of other people who were in the same position I was.

The video didn't help either. I do agree with most of his points, but I think the it came out too soon in the games life cycle and in an atmosphere that was tense already.

It's all bullshit at the end of the day. The games all have strengths and weaknesses, with certain games being better suited to peoples individual preferences. They're all better games than 99% of the shit that comes out and I don't regret spending 600 hours with Dark Souls 2 the year it came out. It's not like anything better came out during that time.

I think it's a lot more than just that. A lot of DS2's criticism was based on "It's not a true souls game because miyazaki wasn't involved", so any good ideas the game did have "didn't count" because it didn't match the vision of the first game, or because the creativity was too low for it to be made up for.

But DS3 came out, and even with Miyazaki in charge, they didn't fix ANY of the problems with DS2/DS1 and just introduced a whole lot new ones. Miyazaki and Budget wouldn't "fix" the problems with DS2, so most of the attacks on DS2 were shown to be just completely baseless assumptions on what could have/should have been.

Why I can't justify putting DS2 below DS3:

DS3 is just a single path of DS2 + Endgame, with a bunch of other mechanics/items/features removed. It's done really well, but it's structured like 1/5th of a full game and was hugely disappointing with the lack of options and places to go.

DS1 > DS2 > DeS > DS3

Haven't played BB but I would probably rank it alongside DeS.

>>181679576
>>181679576
I think Dark 3 did fix a lot of the things people complained about with Dark Souls 2. The level design, atmosphere, and PVE gameplay was a ton better. Not on the level of the other Miyazaki games, but better than Dark Souls 2.

The problem was that they broke a lot of the things that Dark Souls 2 fixed in the process, IMO. PVP balance at the end of Dark Souls 2 was actually pretty good for the first time in the entirety of the series and they just took none of the lessons they learned into Dark Souls 3.

All and all, in the most basic ass opinion a person who follows this shit can have, From should just get out of the business of making direct sequels and slow down the fucking pace a bit. It was kind of nice to get so many games as quickly as we did, but I think they're making a smart choice taking a year to breath. It's going to suck having to play the current games with their various flaws, but they need to collect themselves and give people a break so they're not as burned out anymore.

>>181676048
Two Best Friends.

Mostly because they take a super ass-backwards route through the games (DS2 then DeS then DS3 then DS1) which means there's a really unique perspective they have on how the games compare.

>>181680340
PvP balance was fine in DaS1 before they nerfed the DWGR.

>>181680340
DaS2s pvp was ass. Balanced? Maybe I guess but it wasn't fun at all. Also the covenants were shit and you couldn't even get a red eye orb. Invading/ being invaded was nonexistent.

>>181680340
>The level design, atmosphere, and PVE gameplay was a ton better. Not on the level of the other Miyazaki games, but better than Dark Souls 2.
That's not fixing problems with DS2, that's just going back to a slightly more broken version of DS1.

>From should just get out of the business of making direct sequels and slow down the fucking pace a bit. It was kind of nice to get so many games as quickly as we did

See, I think the opposite. I see the last 5 years as From slowing down and making BIG GRAND HUGE games instead of picking a formula and improving on it like they used to. They should go back to releasing 2-3 games a year where they had multiple franchises and were trying new things, instead of releasing 1 game a year on the same franchise/engine.

No it doesn't, that's DS1. Most of DS3's enemies are ComboKnights or hooded tall people. DS1 had animals, plants, and knights of varying height and weight (Stone Knights, Silver Knights, Hollow knight).

>Dark Souls 3 has the best NPCs.
DS1 again. DS3's NPCs are just copies from previous games, except for maybe Greirat.

>Dark Souls 3 has the best bosses.
In terms of hype and creativity, maybe, but DS1 bosses served a much more important purpose in terms of game design. The only DS3 bosses that served a unique purpose as a video game boss (not just a rehash of a previous boss or some generic mechanic that was already seen before in the franchise) is rotted greatwood, abyss watchers, Sulyvahn, Gundyr, Lothric, and Soul of Cinder. Every other boss was stylistically cool and hyped but completely pointless to the mechanics of the game.

>Dark Souls 3 has the best DLC.
No. It's short, has no connection to the base game (unlike DS1/DS2's DLCs), and every boss is a rehash of something from a previous game.

>Dark Souls 3 is the best in the series.
No.

That's a lot closer to what people wanted though, so in my mind it succeeded on that level. In terms of the 1 or 2 casual playthrough experience that the vast majority of people who play these games have, it was competent(note that I didn't say great) and felt like it belonged with the other games in a way that Dark Souls 2 didn't.

>See, I think the opposite. I see the last 5 years as From slowing down and making BIG GRAND HUGE games instead of picking a formula and improving on it like they used to. They should go back to releasing 2-3 games a year where they had multiple franchises and were trying new things, instead of releasing 1 game a year on the same franchise/engine.

I got into From games with Demon's Souls and had only played Armored Core super casually(as in I rented a few of the PS2 games a couple times), so I might lack the context you do here. In my mind, one game a year is a pretty insane pace for the type of games they're making, especially when they have so much in common with each other. Maybe multiple franchises with different types of games would get around this problem, but if they're going to keep making dark action RPGs, I personally hope they chill out a little bit and let them breath more.

Check out the list of games From has made, and notice that as soon as souls comes out, it grinds to a complete fucking halt and they make literally nothing except souls, and 2 AC games (which were really poorly funded).

Before Demon's Souls, From used to make 2-3 games a year, and each game would build on the previous game using the same graphics, same engine, etc. They also had everyone in the company working on nearly every game, instead of this division of labor you see with Bloodborne VS DS2.

Look at what came out between 2002 and 2004, the most successful pre-bandai era:

>2 Xbox hack and slash games (Otogi 1 and 2)
>5 PS2/PSP third person mech arena shooters (Armored Core 3, Silent Line, Nexus, Nine Breaker, Formula Front)
>2 Gamecube third person card-based JRPG (Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2)
>1 Xbox sonic-style chase game (Murakumo)
>1 PS2 first person ARPG (Shadow Tower Abyss)
>1 PS2 survival horror puzzle game (Echo Night Beyond)
>1 Xbox third person action shooter / satire: (Metal Wolf Chaos)
>1 PS2 third person horror ARPG (Kuon)

That's 14 games in 3 years spanning 8 different genres/franchises, and most of them were decent. None of them were huge successes, but they all had niche buyers, especially Otogi, AC, and Lost Kingdoms. Most importantly, they were all -varied- and looked and felt different.

Now look at 2011 to 2013, the most successful post-bandai era:
>1 third person JRPG (DS1)
>3 third person mech arena shooters (Armored Core V, Verdict Day, )
>1 extremely bad (like, "worst games of all time") kinect game

1 game that was a same-engine sequel, 3 same-engine mech games, and 1 utter failure to diversify. Yet they had a LARGER staff at the time.

Seriously, is Dark Souls 3 the best in the series?

>>181682643

>>181683712
It's the best from a technical standpoint yeah. Controls, animations, combat, netcode, covenants, graphics, etc. The reason so many of us like DaS better is because it was the first time we were thrust into this sort of game with a mysterious world, punishing deaths and no handholding. It's truly magical when you first experience it but by the time you've played three games it's just more of the same and you already know what to do. Nothing surprises you anymore.

It's the same reason that people claim DeS to be the best.

>>181683712
No. All three Souls games under Bamco are rushed wasted potential. Especially DaS2. God, DaS2 could have been amazing.

>>181683712
If you value graphics, simplicity, accessibility, and modernization, it's the best in the series.

If you value the things that make souls games unique (customization, different progression options/mechanics, character/stats complexity, invasions, commitment to every choice made) then it is the worst.

DeS, DS1, and DS2 all achieve much more unique game design and player agency, but with far worse accessibility, graphics, and simplicity. DS3 is the most generic and uninspired in that sense, but it's very high quality.

Artorias is just a crippled cuck knight. You need to read the lore about him in order to get hyped. If you go in blind he's just another dude in armor with almost no presentation.

Dark Souls 3 is the best because it has the best enemies and areas in the entire series.

Dark Souls 1 was half-assed.

Dark Souls 2 was a total disaster.

Demon's Souls is basic.

>>181684315
Yeah actually my latest two blues got decimated. Shitters all around tonight it seems.

>>181684456
Screaming, spammy enemies aren't best anything.

>>181684456
>Dark Souls 1 was half-assed.

Consider me triggered. Sure it looks like shit now, but for what that game is - it's pretty fucking close to the perfect SoulsBorne game.

>>181684336
initiate rebirth but alt-f4 while still in rosaria's menu

>>181684267
I love greathammers but I rarely use Bortstick

Mostly my weaponfu, Spiked Mace, with the occasional switch to Quakestone Hammer, Cathedral GS, or Yhorm's Machete if I feel spicy.

Hey, some people liked them.

I didn't, but some people did.

The fact that From had the balls to make a bright children's card-based RPG for Gamecube and actually pull it off has me in awe. They were just trying all sorts of shit back then, look at fucking Metal Wolf Chaos.

Too bad that most of the staff back then are now working at better companies and From is now filled with a bunch of interns and sony/bamco rejects underneath the few that decided to stay.

>>181684543
>He's so salty about Pontiff Knights that he's still complaining weeks later

>>181684593
So I have to actually confirm it and just close the game without having left the menu, yeah? (It's my last rebirth this cycle so I'd rather not fuck it up.

>>181684748
Yes. Back up your save just incase if you're worried.

vordt's hammer is meh, 100 less AR than a great mace but the exact same moveset, annoying particle effect. spiked mace is pretty much the same weapon but it has a better WA and covers less of your screen

All three Dark Souls games are half-assed shit. Only BB took what DeS did and improved it by doing it's own thing but even that fucked up with the online and chalice dungeons. FromSoft are clearly incompetent and need their hand held through the entire process.

This red is tearing it up. He killed the blue to my right by the time I could type this.

>>181684797
he thinks better graphics and longer draw distance = better creativity because spectacle is more important than substance.

>>181684568
The last half of the game is just fucking garbage. Not only that, but too many insignificant bosses(all the demon bosses+moonlight butterfly) that became regular later enemies really killed it for me. These bosses weren't even important figures just random big monsters.

>>181684543
So you want slow and dumb enemies? Are you fucking gay?

>>181684869
>Caestus

Lemme guess, he tried to be the parry king?

Looks like red is also using CCS, so it's no surprise he's cleaning house.

>>181684834
Two hits connecting normally procs frostbite, and if your opponent isn't positioned well - they'll probably get their shit pushed in.

So good.

Also the janky PvP was a little iffy for me but that's largely subjective.

If Dark Souls had been given maybe 3-4 months more development time for polishing, it'd be GOAT.

>FromSoft are clearly incompetent and need their hand held through the entire process.

From Soft needs to stop putting all their eggs into one basket and relying entire massive publisher projects to single directors and trying to meet publisher demands with every release.

From Soft isn't Naughty Dog or Square. They're a B-tier developer DESPERATELY trying to avoid being bought up by a larger studio and assimilated. That's why Kadokawa owns them, instead of Bandai or Sony.

>>181684267
From what /dsg/ implied I figured invading at 45+4 I'd see a borthammer every other game, but I rarely see it. So rarely, in fact, that I feel comfortably un-meta using it myself sometimes.

>>181683712
that's a weird way of spelling "worst"

>>181685243
DaS3>DaS1>BB>DeS>DaS2

That's what I think.

>>181685243
God no. I think DaS2 did some stuff very well and had a lot of good ideas which, if it didn't get stuck in development hell, would have resulted in a fantastic sequel to a fantastic game. Unfortunately because of aforementioned development hell those ideas were wasted on a game that had piss-poor execution in almost every other aspect.

>>181685220
He's good people.

>>181685265
As long as they keep reliably rolling out the Soulslike games I don't care

>>181685532
No different than a CoD shitter.

>>181685583
I admit it

I'm a hopeless addict

Why the fuck does iron flesh only last like 15 fucking seconds?

DaS1 is fucking shit and anyone who defends it needs to get fucking gassed.

DaS3 is the best soulsborne. DaS3 is for based Republicans. DaS1 is for libcucks.

What they need to do is get a single, very stable graphics and game engine set and then release 1 DeS-style game a year with a new story and new set of levels with archstones/bonfires with different mechanics/gimmicks/puzzles/styles.

Go back to focusing on the gameplay and overall sense of progression, stop focusing on the style, lore, and hype. Make souls a formula, not a franchise.

How's the enemy variety in DaS3? Better than bloodborne?

>>181686229
Yea

>>181686229
every thread

>>181686229
By a mile yes. Bloodborne enemy variety didn't live up to the standards of the Souls series.

>>181685968
I agree with that approach(Souls should have been the new Final Fantasy as opposed to building on existing shit), but one game a year is really fast in this day and age. This isn't PS1/PS2 era where you can release at that clip and still get something good, even with alternating teams.

Annual releases are great for extracting money from people over a short period of time, but I can't think of one franchise that has managed to stay healthy with that approach and hasn't had a decline in quality/community backlash.

>>181685968
It's already going that way with the likes of The Surge and Code Vein about.

You can debate the quality of those games all you want, but they're clearly Souls-likes, and that has become an actual genre in and of itself.

I'm not complaining about it, I just wish other companies would understand the nuance of the genre enough to make a decent quality offering.

Yo where the Pickaxe at

>>181686918
It's in the Greataxe category since it primarily has the Greataxe moveset.

SL 90 can't invade 120, right? The invasion range is your level, plus 20, plus 10% of your level, so the highest is 119, right? I'm just checking here since my other source is >fextra.

>>181687119
It's 15% upward if you go grapist. Regular reds and Sunbros though, 10%.

i've asked before if i should buy Das3 twice to make more characters and i was told about save files but i'm too dumb so whatever and the steam sale is about to end so FUCK IT

BUT i remembered the family sharing thing that steam has. how does it work? do i just make a new account and that account can play Das3 without buying it? do i need to buy the DLCs?

You can family share. Just make an alt steam account, sign in on the computer you play on, and enable sharing in the settings. Should be a menu for it.

>>181687673
Can't copy your save to another Steam profile anymore, comes up as invalid data. Fixed that a bit back. Have to use a third party tool to do it. You can run into issues with it as well, I had one character that didn't work out of all of them and when I tried to run to tool to patch it again, it came up with an invalid data warning.

I always assumed it was just some cancerous honor fag pander system, which it is but it's still pretty fun.

Needs a better ranking system so I can feel superior for my massive win/loss ratio.
