It's actually arguable one of the best weapons for SL 1 runs
>>
>>181735296
Anything can run on anything, assuming you don't care how it looks.
Intel HD is actually okay but your CPU has an overall TDP of FUCKING 15 WATTS. The average desktop CPU is 60-95 watts.

Basically it's a low power piece. The only saving grace is that it's 4th gen. Intel's highest single threading sits on the 4th gen and even at a scrawny 2.6GHz it can score 1.3k on single threading which is marginally better than a core 2 duo.

A score of 600 on your intel iGPU means it's about twice as good as my Intel HD 3000 that runs tf2 on medium 60 fps, for perspective.
You will be able to run it but you need to lower your internal rendering resolution to truly jaw dropping levels and drop all effects.


Consider checking out local e-waste recyclers or criagslist for no OS office desktops that you can load with shit and a GPU to get the ball rolling.
Put a core 2 quad in them to get a good CPU. They're like 20 bucks online. And put a GTX 480 in it if you want a cheap, hot as hell, and cheap GPU that performs well.

Imagine

Dark Souls 3, but nobody uses anything except the Dragonslayer Axe

And then somebody comes along with a different weapon and memes all over them all because the Dragonslayer Axe moveset and hitbox is garbage even if it's damage is high and you can afford more vig and end when using it raw.

Like, by the numbers you're absolutely right, it's an optimal build. But those surface numbers don't really account for every facet of a character.

Objectively wrong, as expected of a tripfag.
>>
>>181740378
Try to prove him wrong. One can respect DeS for starting the series, but mechanically it's objectively vastly inferior to all the other games, and more subjectively the lore is really scarce and straight forward and the NPCs and their storylines are really lacking.
There is not a single aspect in which it is above any of the other games aside from extremly subjective stuff like atmosphere.

Atmosphere and the fact that is had much deeper mechanics, such as the tendency systems.

>>181738932
>>181738289
First of all, let me remind you that this entire argument began with the asinine opinion that any level above 50 is basically the same as 800 because you had too many stats and there was no meaningful difference between 120 and 240. Now that I've reminded you and the poor souls that got tricked into defending you of just how fucking stupid you are, imagine I already gave you an alternative for the DSA and a straight sword at that. Longsword which is the best straight sword is just 13 AR below the broadsword Want another meta option? Raw Falchion. Just the other day someone posted a nip guide on how to meme on low level cunts like you - https://youtu.be/QWJhTRnYTf4 . All you have to do is find a low stat requirement infuseable weapon with the right moveset and you're game. DSA just has 50% more AR than basically all other weapons with basic requirements.

Stop posting shit about variety and just admit you're shit. If you don't have stats to carry all weapons and if there's only one infusion viable there's objectively less variety. Add to that the fact that Prisoner's basically becomes mandatory if it already wasn't on 120 and that argument is up shit creek sans paddle. Admit you prefer low level because you're shit at the game and people with less than 20 hours into the game are the only ones you can reliably beat in invasions and you'll sleep better at night.

It's actually very good.
It does great damage.
Has phenomenal range.
Explodes with a fairly large radius.

I know you probably mean that it's disappointing for PVP, but for PVE it's a really, really good spell.

Well played Lucifer, but the real truth is that DS1 simply doesn't go on sale for some weird reason.
I watch it every time a sale comes and every time, it maintains the cost of $20.

It's just fallen into obscurity.
I think it's because everyone who heard about dark souls steers away from it after hearing about all of its pitfalls. So instead the sequels (which logically would be founded upon correcting the mistakes of its predecessors) are more popular.
DS1 is significantly older than SoFTS and DS3.

Fume was the thing I was most looking forward to about the game. I was always hearing about how hard he was with some people saying he could have been a Bloodborne boss.

I dunno Lucy, DS2 is still a dark souls game.
Also, I am not even remotely impressed that you beat fume knight with the ez mode hammer.
I also don't believe you beat it first try, you don't exactly have a reputation for honesty.
I did a playthrough with the Craftsman Hammer too and the game is drastically easier with it.
Whenever a boss was too hard, I just switched to the hammer and deleted the boss' HP.

why was ng+ abandoned as a thing

>>181750804
Because they decided to make it less ambitious like 3 in general and just added + rings and higher value soul items with nothing else.

It's a shame because some areas look like they were practically designed for extra encounters in NG+ areas and it would've actually incentivized going through the game multiple times just to get Life Ring+3 and Sage+2 now.

>Build Variety:
Ds2>>Ds3>DaS

DS2 has a greater variety of infusions and play styles that your stat allocation can support.
(att was tied to cast speed AS IT SHOULD BE)
DaS gets the lowest score here, but only by a small margin, partially because your stats had literally nothing to do with pyromancies, so anyone could be a pocket pyromancer if they had the attunement slots.

>Aesthetics:
Ds3=DaS>Ds2

This is a very subjective ball field, and I really can't say these ranks are spread by a far margin because all three games really boast great looking environments, armors, and items. Ds2 is lowest here because I think DS3 and DaS outperform it.

>Overall gameplay:
Ds3>Ds2>DaS

Game play wise, DS3 is the most responsive. It feels the best to play because of tight controls. It's fun because you seldom have to wait for an animation to finish to start your next one, the game plays close to as fast as you do.
DS2 has game play mechanics that I like that DaS doesn't, so it's score is higher.

>Lore:
DaS>Ds2=Ds3

Ds3's story is more of a continuation of the past ones. Borderline rehash.
DS2's story isn't much better. Pretty much bear seek seek lest.
Both do their job, each not much better than the other.
DaS has a good story that solidifies the locations and their meanings.
The other games do this as well, and I might be a bit biased having played DaS first, but I believe that one to have the strongest lore in the trilogy.

I actually like the Fire Keeper in Dark Souls 3 and the Doll in Bloodborne, but yeah, it was an annoyance more than anything else.

I miss the feeling of being truly trapped in an area. I remember the first time I got down to Blighttown how daunting leaving felt from first bonfire there. It probably wasn't, but that's a design element that has been absent from all the other games. Progressing felt hard, but getting to the bottom without the ability to go buy shit that makes it easier or take a break made for a much better experience.

People still don't realize the level design in DS1 was the real outlier in the series.

>>
>>181755636
Bloodborne was pretty interconnected.
>>
>>181755384
It's amazing to me how many people are cheating in Dark Souls 3 this quickly. I probably ran into like under 10 cheaters in two years of playing Dark Souls 2. I get 3 to 5 a day in Dark Souls 3 and most of them are just doing the worst shit they possibly can. Somebody tried that Autopilot shit on me the other day, even.

Consoles are kinda fucked now because of save editors too.
>>
>>181755196
That's the point. There was no point in not being max-leveled for the peak of DaS2's life because you would be matched against max level players anyway.

A "Souls" game is defined as one of the games made by Fromsoft that follow in the steps of King's Field, Demon's Souls and/or Dark Souls. Bloodborne certainly fits that.
>>
>>181755636
Yeah, that really changed a lot of the early game. Because if you didn't have to wait behind any loading screens while you traveled around the place until you beat Sen's.

It would be extremely interesting if this sort of thing had been applied to Ds3/BB, where you weren't locked away in some tangental hub, removed from the "real" world.

A "Souls" game is a game which belongs to the Souls series.

Demon's Souls is a Souls game. Dark Souls is a Souls game. Bloodborne is not a Souls game.
It's not called Blood Souls or Bloodborne Souls or Souls Borne or whatever.

Bloodborne is a Souls-like. It's not a "Souls" game, and should not be compared to the Souls series of games, apart from minor similarities in gameplay.

This is false.

A phantom with 99 in all stats will still be able to wield any weapon, cast any spell, wear any armor without fat rolling, carry many spells, block longer, and swing more times.

No, you retard. A "Souls-like" is when a company that is not FromSoft attempts to imitate Dark Souls with a game of their own. That means shit like Lords of the Fallen, Nioh and The Surge.

If it's by From, it's a Souls game. If it's not by From, it's a Souls-like.

It's similar to Souls games in terms of gameplay while not actually being a Souls game. It has no attachment to the Souls series. As such, it's a Souls-like. Whether or not FROM worked on it is a different thing entirely.

While I do agree with >>181755405 that having someone who feels like they're there to support you on your journey (in the form of level up waifus) is nice, loading screens to do it can be a major pain in the dick if you have a forgetful moment.

I also have to agree that having warp from the start takes awya that feeling of REALLY exploring deep down into an area, not knowing what you might find and knowing that if you die it's a long way back to where you came from.

You see a lot, but no the actual gameplay area is some rafters, 2 giant open cathedrals, some rooms aaaand your done. Basically DS3 is missing like a cathedral and the small leadup area which connects to dukes archives.

Anor Londo is massive and beautiful. Easily in the top 3 best areas in all the Souls games.

Like I said, the game didn't launch with the Agape ring and SM in DaS2 is based on Souls you ever held, not souls spent or lost

True, true. Yet patches have rolled in and Agape is a thing. Most people are playing on a patch that has Agape available. In fact, 100% of the people who play online play on a patch with it available. Therefore, release state is irrelevant.

>>
>>181757951
I still dislike that they haven't really ever came up with decent matching rules in any of the games. They're all wonky in their own way. Even 3's WL system means that players who're good enough to get through the game while staying at a low SL don't really get any rewards (talking solely about weapon upgrade, here) because they'll ruin their matchmaking if they use the titanite they've found.

It's not even the matchmaking, its the rewards.
Your only motivation for invading is just dicking people over you don't really gain anything meaningful for doing it, the best thing for souls PvP would be if there was some really useful resource that you get from invaders and that invaders got for killing a host, invasions should be a thing almost every build at least dabbles "oh man I could really use some more X, guess I should invade/dry finger", people constantly invading each other is whats lacking, the current PvP is basically a thing only like 1% of the playerbase bothers with.
>>
>>181758485
If you aren't progressing in PvE anymore you could probably delet all your titanite, but that's more of a band-aid solution and means you're fucked if you actually want to try out new weapons (excluding collectors edition scripts, obviously).

It'd also be nice if there were better covenant rewards, and/or rewards at higher ranks such at 50 or 99.

>Yet patches have rolled in and Agape is a thing.
The problem is for the vast majority of time the Agape wasn't a thing, and the agape wasn't added until the game was already dying.

It's the same thing that happened with the DWGR nerf. Did they eventually nerf it? Yes, but almost everyone had already moved on by that point, and it is why when people think about DaS1 they still think of people with fuck huge weapons cartwheeling around as family masked giants.

Did I say every was instantly 99 in every stat? No. But there was no reason not to make that your end goal. If you had souls, doing anything with them other than leveling up, or maxing one set of gear, was a complete waste.

DS1 did covenants right but then you get faggots that cry that they can't get every item for their ultimate meta build.

Also liked the fact that covenants had straight up penalties for "betraying"/leaving them, like erasing half of your donated items, removing the ability to use spells and reducing covenant weapon damage.

A covenant needs to be a commitment not easily broken. It's in the fucking definition of the word.
>>
>>181758886
Lmao fucking what?
Way of the White was kind of shit and didn't really do much and was replaced by warrios of sunlight later on, at least there you got some miracles
Princesses Guard was stupid because it was after Anorl Rode and O&S, the point where the games difficulty curve started going downwards
Dickwraiths were nice but the only thing you got out of it was humanity that you didn't need since you had 99 soft for a minmaxed build and souls you wouldn't use because you were already at your meta level
Gravlording was shit because it only worked in NG+ so it didn't effect 99% of the playerbase
Chaos servants was mostly a lore/atmosphere thing but the shortcut was sort of nice.
Forest hunters was neat but had the same "what is the actual point of this" issue with rewards
Dorkmoons were good.

That's not even getting into the whole issue that there was almost no reason for a host to set themselves up for invasions if you didn't want phantoms.

From never fully realized or perfected the covenant system even though they had 3 games to do so. The closest they got was the first, but instead of refining the idea, improving /balancing the reward system, making the choice more difficult, and other improvements, they just got worse.

They more or less carried over the covenant system from BB, which was equipping certain Runes. More often than not, you would just take whichever one best fit your playstyle since there were benefits to each, like faster Stamina regen, more health in co-op, you get the idea. Two of them were for the sake of physical transformations, making one weapon go beyond just punches, and giving a new moveset to another.

DaS1 covenants were by and large broken and experimental.

>Way of White just lets you buy from Petrus at inflated prices at a point in the game where players will have very few souls, the "easier to connect to each other" feature may as well not exist
>Princess Guard is better than Way of White in literally every way, but still had no rank-up system and no real purpose for being
>Chaos Servant gives you some Pyromancies and a shortcut, and otherwise zero other benefits
>Sunbros has arbitrary Faith requirements, and otherwise requires you to enter NG+ for full benefits
>Darkwraiths requires you to play the game a certain way and lock yourself out of Frampt's services unless you use a specific exploit

Credit goes where it's due for laying the groundwork for future, better covenants, but they were mainly a shitshow in the game they were in.

All that really did was add an additional hurdle in a game full of a bunch of unnecessary hurdles, and a bunch of those covenants didn't even have a true cost of betrayal. You could leave Way of White, Princess's Guard, Sunbros and Chaos Servant whenever you damn well pleased, and re-join for zero penalty. And switching between covenants, or erasing betrayals, just involved visiting an NPC and talking to him and maybe paying a soul cost.

Of course my dear little Luci, have a (You)

Now for anyone else who might be interested in some pretty fucking useless data, you gain 37.5% of the invading phantoms levelup cost when killing them as a host, that is to say killing an invading SL200 phantom would award you 19776 souls.
Now to reach max SL would take 407398297 souls, now with some simple math we can deduce that you would hit the level cap after killing a mere 20600 invading red phantoms, obviously this is something, a trivial number for any seasoned PvP veteran.
It gets even better though, you only gain 10% for defeating a summon sing phantom, and a SL200 phantom awards 5273 souls, which translates to 77261 killed phantoms to reach maximum soul level.

>>
>>181771143

All the Dark Souls 1 asymmetrical multiplayer mechanics were cool but at the end of the day I'd rather have something that is useful both for offline AND online play.

Bloodborne's Chalice Dungeons for example are a GREAT way of creating infinite replay value and surprising situations even for purely singleplayer by being able to generate random dungeons with weird enemy placements and everything.
>>
>>181767709
Go naked for stamina regen and dps race his legs.
>>
>>181772064
The only problem is that the chalices get really fucking dull, especially with grinding for gems. Making new ones just for the sake of exploration with others is great, and it's always exciting to open a new one, but it gets really repetitive, especially with the fixed ones.
>>
>>181772302
Also dungeons not being shared across characters. Fuck having to get ingredients as well.
>>
>>181772302
The gem grinding was strangely enough the thing that Dark Souls needs honestly.

None of the Dark Souls games can really keep rewarding you infinitely because when you got everytype of upgrade stone you've gotten everything.

In Bloodborne though, you can grind forever in search of the perfect gem ATK down so each time you go spelunking you might find a better gem.

Bloodborne really had a lot of elements I wanted in Souls like diablo-style loot in the form of gems with random effects, levels actually switching / changing the placements of enemies during certain events, randomly genned dungeons that keep you entertained forever and "loadout" optimization by effect of runes allowing you to carry more heals / bullets although I wanted that to happen through gear upgrades

Questions for DS1. First, why does it seem every other covenant has their own miracles? You get a couple with their own weapons/pyromancies. Then you get at least 4 with their own miracles. Did they expect everybody to want to use faith builds a lot?

Get rid of the str and put it in end, you're using a UGS so you really need the stamina. You also need more vit, you have 81% equip burden so are fatrolling like a motherfucker.

And my point is there isn't a diversity of rewards from covenants. Could they really not have more than a few covenants that DON'T require faith to take advantage of it? The game has a few, so clearly it isn't THAT BAD. Could one maybe give sorceries instead of miracles?

>>181779316
I'd argue against that. PChain is still restricted by soft caps, whereas FaP is not. If you can hit the soft caps on Vigor and Endurance without PChain, then FaP is by and far the superior choice. PChain is only good if you need to free up the levels to put into other stats, for hybrid builds and the like.

>>181779561
It's just a bit annoying that you need to either make loads of faith builds, have your one faith build bounce around covenants, or join a covenant and not really use the miracles to get all of the miracles in the game. Also no spell covenant makes me salty. Seath should get one if Nito did.
>>
>>181779275
There is no sorcery convenant because you visit the place of birth of all great sorceries and they don't demand anything from your character besides being smart enough to use them.
Miracles need some dedication besides faith, which is why they're nerfed or unavailable if you betray a covenant.
>>
>>181779215

Anyway, you can either leave the last slot as a hotswap slot, or you can put a hornet ring or some such in there.

>>181779841
> they don't demand anything from your character besides being smart enough to use them
Would it be that bad for Logan or whoever to want somebody loyal to teach?
> Miracles need some dedication besides faith
Or if they are Gravelord miracles, they don't need faith really at all. I understand that kind of makes the faith build argument a bit weaker, but why not just make them spells?
>>
>>181779840
Seath covenant wouldn't make sense, as he conducts his sorcery research in secret.

>>
>>181780026
> he does his research in secret
But he does have some lackeys, right? And Nito's covenant is accessed by jumping into a coffin. I know the made the Rat covenant in DS2 a bit 'grave-like' without having to do that, but I just can't get why they made that the means to access it. Just jump in a coffin, Chosen Undead. Why not?
>>
>>181779993
Gravelord has that effect too. If you aren't a member, it's way weaker. You couldn't make a covenant that gives sorceries that depend on how dedicated you are to it because that wouldn't make sense.
And if you made one like the pyromancies, well, there's still no point because you'd need something to work towards and be loyal to.

Actually, in the whole series, there's a single covenant spell that depends only on int, hidden weapon in 2. Everything else is int/fth, fth or doesn't need either.

It's implied that all of his helpers are either made by him, or controller entirely by him.

Nito just wants to spread death, and in a land of undead, who can't die, it makes sense that he would have a covenant that kills undead until they hollow.

Also, when the chosen undead goes into the coffin, all it says is "nesstle in the coffin". It doesn't say anything about Nito until the skeletons take you away.

Maybe the chosen undead wanted a quick nap, and a coffin was a pretty good option?

>>
>>181780790
It's not confirmed. Siegward sleeps in DkS3, but he's unkindled, not undead, so I'm not sure.

However I would assume so, since the chosen undead can be overburdened (by equipment), and exhausted (running out of stamina).
I see no reason why other normal human functions wouldn't be the same.

So with a lance and any other weapon in the other hand, you can combo a single lance hit into a single other weapon hit.
The Carthus Curved Greatsword's R1WAR2 combo seems to be a bit inconsistent. You can easily move around your opponent mid combo and miss the last part. From what I've tested, Carthus Rouge doesn't really help the bleed buildup too much. After two half combos due only some parts landing, it took two more hits to actually get the bleed off. If anyone on PS4 is willing to help me test this a bit further, just give me the word.

No such thing as ranged parries, your best option is a Caestus or other parrying tool, but everyone who isn't an idiot will see that coming from a mile away and just use unparriable attacks/weapons.

Enemies come in varying degrees of stagger-proof. Some will stagger from anything including rolling into them, others will only stagger after you hit them with a few charged 2HR2s from an ultra. And certain enemies have hyperarmor where it's very difficult to stagger them once they've started an attack animation.

Your best bet is to two-hand an ultra and swing it at them just when they enter melee range. Charging an R2 for a lone enemy will stagger most of the time, though in general you want to back off before you eat into your whole stamina bar.
>>
>>181786183

so a friend and I were trying to do a coop playthrough of Dark Souls 1. He's never played before while I have.

Anyways, we were just starting the undead parish when he got invaded. He turtled up outside the area with the boar, and the invader (apparently hoping for a courtyard duel) got fed up with not finding him and killed Andre.

How fucked is he? would he be better off starting a new run?

Several run-of-the-mill enemies will stagger to single bolts from an off-hand crossbow. Certain ones won't stagger even if you hit them with an Exploding Bolt. And travel time ensures that unless they're coming right at you, you'll have to be pretty close for it to be a guaranteed hit (certain enemies will also input-read and dodge out of the way the second the bolt goes flying).

Generally if you want some space in combat you can just roll away and wait for your stamina bar to recover. It's called Roll Souls 3 for a reason, learn to abuse rolls for nearly everything because they cost so little stamina and it recovers so quickly as long as you're at sub-70% equip load. As long as you don't empty out your entire stamina bar, you're usually in a good position.

They can be staggered, it just takes more than a few 1HR1s from a straight sword. A 2HR1 from an ultra is usually a guaranteed stagger in my experience.

The only enemies that I've run into that are almost completely stagger-proof are Black K***hts. I've done WAR2s with ultras, and fully charged 2HR2s from the same, yet they tank it like it's nothing and then hit me with their own charged 2HR2.

Armor generally serves no purpose outside of granting fashion and poise, and most armors within a weight range will grant roughly the same amount of poise. If someone's wearing it, it's because they think it looks nice.

Poise, parry, or use something with longer reach, out trade.

>>181789516
I think it's fun with spiked mace, flamberge can work sometimes too, and I heard that warden twinblades can still be viable. I'd go ahead and try weapons you like. A weapons tier isn't what makes it good, it's the fun you have using it. That's why I've been using crescent axe every other run since release.

No one really likes hide and seek, unless you're the one hiding. It's not too hard to set up such a game, really, and can be enjoyable in places like the Catacombs.

Anyone? I'm not sure how much of a difference 10 virtual dex actually makes but I use the unupgraded ring so much I might as well see if I can get the +2. I just don't feel like drudging through to ng++ for something so small.

I always attacks reds and purples as a faithful. It's hilarious knowing that they're seething behind their monitors as I point down or clap over their corpse.
>>
>>181795456
What about when they kill you, or when the purple achieves their objective regardless and leaves?

Does that make you seethe?

>>181795264
>tfw I fucking hate purples

>>181795264
Killing a red gets rid of a blue and red in a single combo.

Killing reds also gives more room for another faithful to come.

Lol. There are almost always two faithfuls and even when there aren't the host + phantoms will always side with a faithful to kill a red/purple first, I don't know why but that's just how it is. The odds just aren't in their favor. Reds can be tricky/slippery sometimes but purples are almost always complete shitters.

pchain?
>>
>>181797147
The numbers I've seen say that you can absorb up to around 200 HP per target hit by it. But that's still less than what most enemies would hit you for if you stopped to cast it.

>>181797373
>hit a Silver K***ht a few times with your weapon
>he staggers
>hit a Black K***ht several times with an ultra
>he sticks his greatsword/axe up your ass

>>181797467
PChain adds flat Vigor.

Looking at it again, it looks like the host wasn't at full HP when he made the drop anyways. So crisis averted.
>>
>>181797261
That was the case even moreso in Dark Souls 1. Black Knights didn't respawn and they were more like mid-bosses. Silver Knights were just normal mobs pretty much.
>>
>>181797580
I literally never see SK's stagger unless I'm using a GH
>>
>>181797373
maybe it's the weapon but silver knights are just easier to backstab and dodge
>>
>>181797663
They can stagger in 3-4 straight sword hits. They're also easy to parry and are fairly easy to dodge and backstab.

Black K***hts on the other hand don't seem to give a fuck what you throw at them and will continue to come at you with their ultras unless you hit them in the head with an arrow.
>>
>>181797663
silver knights stagger from 2 consecutive SS hits 1h, they're pretty easy to stunlock

People always say it's Priscilla but now that you mention it, it does look a lot more like Mytha. Priscilla's tail was hairy while that one looks exactly like Mytha's to a T. It's not a corpse though, you can see wood/rope innards in the tail.

So I finally got around to getting the Ringed City DLC. What level should I be at to be within reasonable range for the content while still staying in PvP "Meta" level so I can still have plenty of action on that end?

Also, I've used a Carthus Shotel+Sharp+Carthus Rouge with off-hand pyromancy since the start, but I'm considering reallocating my stats and switching to the Harald Curved Greatsword. Should I, and if so, what should I infuse it with because I imagine Bleed won't be as effective on Greatweapon since I can't strike as rapidly with it.
