great news then, thanks man.

>>184284606
From what I can gather, as long as you have the same number of saves, swapping them out shouldn't be a problem. So you have to have 9 blank new characters in addition to the new build you want to try, then delete one of the blanks when you want to start a new character.

I have the hardest time sticking to a single build

But I think I like bleed the most, but I have a problem with just using 1 wep

Is there like a bleedbuild I can mess around with that includes several weapons?

When is Raw useful in DS3? Is it just for early game while you pump survivability? Or good for pure int/faith as a backup weapon that's still buffable?

>>184287283
raw is pretty good in DS3. For most D/C or C/D weapons, it's better than sharp or heavy as long as you have under ~18 str / 18 dex

>>184287283
It's excellent early game (especially on twinks) and on some caster builds that just want to buff their weapon.
The dragonslayer axe is infamously good with the raw infusion and is common on low-level invaders.
If a cleric wants to use LKGS with lightning blade but has only the minimum requirements, raw is probably better.

How is that a record? They should add in all the time it took to figure out how to glitch and where you run while glitching, every world record speedrun would be 30mi + 120 hours

Anybody on PC bored and want to start a pure INT run with me tonight?

Coming from DS1 and 2, with DS3, is there any reason to bother attuning a less powerful spell? I see that duplicate copies are made completely worthless now because mana. But if I want to nuke something, why would I choose the shitty spell when the FP difference is negligible and the casting time is very similar? I miss having spice in demon's compared to this "lol you cant heal as much if you want to be a caster" shit.

>>184299748
It's been my last three hours in Drangleic Castle. Every Throne/Nashandra/Aldia group is great, but not a single fucking host has made it through Twin Dragonriders.

My last host decided, for some arcane reason unknowable by rational humans, to aggro all five Ruin Sentinels at once. There needs to be an emote for "Shit Nigger What Are You Doing", because apparently "No Way" isn't a strong enough deterrent.

>is there any reason to bother attuning a less powerful spell?
Slot/FP usage, number of casts, cast speed.

There are very few spells in DS3 that are actually just worse versions of other spells because of how many of them have really high FP use and slow cast speeds.

Different tools for different jobs obviously. You generally only want one nuke.

Your other spells should serve different purposes such as a quick finisher to catch runners or a defensive option.

Even in PvE there is no reason to nuke something twice and waste FP if you can finish it with a less fp. Some spells have far greater damage to fp ratio as well.

You should have a spell for every encounter, because that's what mage is best for. A self defense spell for when something is in your face, a ranged nuke for engaging enemies that aren't aggro, a fast casting ranged spell for kiting bosses/slow enemies that are too close to nuke, and a spell for hitting groups of enemies. Always start the fight with the nuke, then use your weaker ranged spell to finish them off. Be responsible with your FP and don't just cast until it your spell hits, wait until you're 90% sure the spell will land. Leveling my pure sorcerer was the most fun I've had with souls PvE, and it's now my favorite build in dks 3. I've been playing this one fucking build for 8 months now, just because of how unique it is.

For some reason I can't adjust to DS3. I've completed DS1 and then screwed around a fair bit with other characters. Same with DS2. I've completed Bloodborne, am doing NG+ as well as another NG character. Done lots of Chalice Dungeons too.

I just can't tune into DS3 for some reason. I find it weirdly difficult. Even basic bosses like Iudex Gundyr fuck my shit up way more than any boss in BB. What's the mentality? You know, like how BB has a different mentality from DS1.

>>184308294
You abuse rolls. There's no Instability during recovery frames of rolls, they cost very little stamina and stamina regen is absurdly fast unless you're above 70% equip load. You can also just spam R1 with a straight sword and stun-lock most enemies.

Beyond that, expect the tougher enemies (Lothric K***hts, Evangelists) to attack in combos and to have stupidly long reach with little warning time on their attacks. DaS3 is very much just BB distilled into Dark Souls form, except it's much more into the realm of twitch reaction gameplay.

Not long till From have to make another Souls game to get their accounts in order. Can't wait.

>>184308294
DS1 and DS2 were designed to discourage rolling or attacking too much. DS3 was designed to discourage rolling or attacking too LITTLE. For most bosses in DS3 you are expected to roll or attack 3-4 times in a row regularly. Nothing in 1 or 2.

Another thing is the animations, which are a lot less sensible than in DS1/DS2. Most enemies will show little/no indication of their attacks and then SNAP forward with a rubber band effect, so the threshold for your reaction time is a lot higher without actually changing the windup. It fucks with your perception if you're used to DS1/DS2.

>>184309715
>to get their accounts in order.
You mean Bandai Namco, and it's called Code Vein.

From has no reason to make another souls game, and it wouldn't be worth the money they'd lose to Bamco over the IP anyway.

>>184309986
>From has no reason to make another souls game
Except that that's literally the one thing that turned them into a globally-acknowledged developer.

>it wouldn't be worth the money they'd lose to Bamco over the IP anyway
Just because it isn't called "Souls" doesn't mean it's not a Souls game. They most certainly will make another Souls game in the future, there's far too much money involved to just walk away from it. It just won't have "Dark Souls" in the title.

>>184309909
It fucked me up going back to DS1 and reacting way too fast for parries.

>>184309986
From themselves want to make money, Namco is a separate company obviously. They make more money from each game in the meta-series than like 8 Armored Cores combined. They just have to not call it Dark Souls, that's not hard. Bloodborne shows it works well. From and Sony want to work together again as well.

Playing DaS2, finally got to the 1st boss of the Sunken King dlc, and holy shit did they just increase the difficulty dramatically compared to the base game. Elana is wrecking my shit and the climb down to her is really difficult and not because of mobs since there are only 3 or 4 enemies between the bonfire and her scattered throughout the climb down.
Also is there any lore-wise reason why she summons velstadt.

>>184310156
Your post should have said "next game they make similar to dark souls" then. Dark Souls is "officially" dead, but they will use the BB/DS3 game engine to make new fantasy games for sure. They're already working on a dark fantasy game, though they were hiring graphic and 2D artists for it last month (and still are) so it's probably still in the concept stage.

My guess is they will reveal something at Tokyo Game Show.

Also don't forget that they're owned by Kadokawa now, which means that any games they want to make are first going to be approved by the new members on their board. A huge uncertainty is what publisher they will use for the international market. Are they going sony exclusive? Is Kadokawa expanding to US game sales? Will they use a third party (like Ubisoft or Atlus) again? Will they go back to self publishing in Japan? No idea, but whomever they choose is going to have a huge impact.

>into a globally-acknowledged developer.
They were "globally-acknowledged" before souls, but completely shit the bed and lost all relevancy in the early/mid-2000s when the PS3 came out because they didn't know how to develop for it and no one in Japan was buying xbox 360s. It wasn't until 2012 (prepare to die edition) that they got any actual recognition in the west again, and it wasn't until DS2 that they got any real publicity beyond "those guys who made that awful steel batallion kinect game"

>>184310313
>Namco is a separate company obviously.
Namco makes more money from souls than From does, because From loses a huge percentage of every game sold internationally. Souls sells 3:1 more in the US than JP, which is why it's such a cash cow for Bandai but From has not been raking in the the profits.

>>184311115
>Namco makes more money from souls than From does
Yeah, but I'm saying it's irrelevant because From can make a game and make money from it without Namco Bandai being involved. They can make what's effectively a Souls game without using the trademark, that's all I mean. Miyazaki still seems passionate about it, although he did seem a bit auto-pilot with DS3. He seems to put a lot more into the first games in a run (DeS, DS, BB).

Holy shit I came across some guy with a caestus build, it was sick.
What build do I need to punch people like tekken

>>184311553
Caestus is probably one of the most underrated weapons in the game. L1s cost the same stamina as a roll, running L1s are fast and good at rollcatching, R1s are almost the speed of a dagger, so a smart player with one can harass the shit out of an ultra player, and even has perseverance as backup. The perseverance has the lowest FP cost in the game compared to other perseverance weapons. It's better with on a dex build than it is strength, but what kind of faggot makes a tanky punching build and doesn't wear big heavy strength based armor?

>>184311912
You can wear full Lapp's with Caestus easily if you start Knight without even leveling Vitality and 80 Dex.

No they can't. They have no sales channels outside of Japan, they literally cannot fund a new game without a publisher bankrolling them, either Sony or Bandai or someone else. Bandai is already out of the picture so that means that whomever is replacing them is more likely to dictate the ultimate style /budget/polish of the game.

>>184312289
We're talking in circles here. The point is that Dark Souls (or similar games by them) are their superstar product line and whatever it means to distribute it outside of Japan applies to ALL games they make, so it still remains their most profitable thing to do.

>>184312384
I think you're overestimating the sales of Souls and how much that influences their decisions. They're making 3 games at once right now, one of which fills the "role" of souls but it's not a guarantee of income by any means, especially now that larger studios are coming out with their own souls clones (Nioh, Nier, Code Vein).

assuming that just because their games have sold well before that it means they have to keep making them. Bloodborne only sold 2.7m copies (half of what each souls game has sold) yet BB2 is more likely than a non-bloodborne IP.

You know what happens to indie companies that can only make one type of game? They fail and get assimilated into other studios. From's goal isn't money right now, it's -diversification- so that they aren't risking bankruptcy with each new release.

They said they're working on 3 games at once right now:
>Some new dark fantasy game
>Reboot of Armored Core
>Something completely different

at least one of those is likely going to have VR, and at least one will be for PC, according to their promotional videos for 2017

>>184312474
>Shortsword/Fume sword /sun sword: Literally DeS moveset
>all other SS: Literally DS1 moveset

Of all the stupid shit to complain about, the SS moveset is probably the dumbest, since it's literally the same as in the other games. The only thing that might be different is that some swords have a 2HR2 thrust, which is honestly much better and is the reason why those swords are top tier.

Blue flame shows up pretty late from what I remember. But I had a lot of fun powerstancing them back when DS2 was current.

>>184316386
I mainly want my first run through to take advantage of what makes DS2 unique.

Any recommendations?

Still better than what I used to do in 2, used to summon them in corners and kill them with lifedrain patches. Was awkward if they survived.

Say, for example, I wanted to be an absolute prick and invade high wall/undead settlement with a poison buildup weapon

-Would getting the stats for Storyteller's Staff be worth it, or is it just going to get avoided to the point of uselessness?
-What sort of poison build up would I be looking at with 25 luck? I plan on using a poison infused ghru dagger at +2 so I know base is 36, will my luck score add a significant amount?

>>184316319
In that case I guess I'll never show my face or talk on videos.

>Playing around dks1, helping people out with artorias at standard ng level
>Guy summons me
>Much harder than usual
>Couple of tries, get the 62.5k (ng +6) payout

That was mad fun, never realised you could get summoned into ng+ worlds

>>184316769
Storyteller's staff is okay, nowhere near as effective as Snap Freeze, so you just have to be smart with it and either pressure opponents with it or not use it in open spaces where it's easily avoided.
Will also help a lot with twinking PVE.

>will my luck score add a significant amount
Can't say, I'd just invest in survival stats though. HP regen is also really good at low levels and will allow you to play hit and run to make it a game of attrition.

>>184316769
Also +1, not +2 for High Wall.

Will there be any vicars on ps4 or should I not even bother?

Thanks for the reply

I intend on running survival and regen stuff such as Anri's and the Sun Princess ring, so that's not an issue. Why would I take a +1 weapon, I was under the impression that the weapon range was +/- 2 levels. So +2 is in range of unupgraded and +4, etc;

Is that simply to avoid people twinking dancer or something?

Which of you two you are then?

>>184307378
DS3 infusion system is great imo. It has the physical infusions of DeS buy not stupidly limited i.e you could only make certain weapon types sharp.

>>184286906
Mighty Wizard?

I invaded someone today and you were one of the others! You were hacking and throwing superpowered firebombs. I was Wayfarer Alva. Nice to see you again!

>>184317454
I might start doing a character although getting to SL160 will take a while.

>>184317741
The limitations were not stupid. Shard Hammers or maces don't make much sense.

Maybe if they changed them visually adjusted the damage type.

>>184312474

What's wrong?

The reward for killing those scumbags is really worth it.

>>184318380
>sharp hammers or maces don't make sense
As opposed to them doing fire or magic damage makes sense?

I think making weapons sharp / heavy should adjust their properties like Heavy gives them a bit more weight while Sharp reduces the durability on a DS1 style weapon durability system.

>changes adjusted in model
Mm,it would honestly just make me not do upgrades if they looked shit visually so rather not.

>>184317535
No, +0 can only interact with +1.
+1 will let you interact with 0-2.

At +4 it starts allowing you to interact with people two upgrades above yours.

>>184318626
>As opposed to them doing fire or magic damage makes sense?
Yeah, cuz magic.

>I think making weapons sharp / heavy should adjust their properties like Heavy gives them a bit more weight while Sharp reduces the durability on a DS1 style weapon durability system.
I agree with that.

Always hoped that they will bring back the damage system from Kings Field.
A large bladed weapon would deal slashing/slicing damage as well impact damage.
Heavy would increase impact damage and shap the slashing damage.

But then they would have to actually mage the different defense types matter and balance them.
And attack numbers wouldn't be directly compareable anymore

It was just supposed to be a counter to Bloodshades for a bit of fun.
I kinda miss it

>>184320517

It was fun back when Bleed was viable and FAI was struggling, so you needed the extra levels to keep up

Nowadays, bleed is next to useless due to build-up times and faith builds are at the top of the game at balanced level, let alone overlevelled

It would make more sense for the bleed builds to overlevel to counter vicars. I fail to see the fun and challenge in overlevelling one of the current top PvP builds to fight people using more challenging builds

Haven't actually played the game since TRC came out, ENB's sudden reappearance on YT made me check back.
>Bleed is useless
I guess it's good I finished my SL60 hollow bleed run already. Winning matches against higher level players was also pretty easy with it. I guess I would be a free frag with him now.

>>184283932
I got one at 170, should I make another? When are we getting together on PC?

What is the best looking Miracle/Sorcery/Pyro/Hex that looks amazing but is actually really shitty?

I have just killed the Abyss Watcher. Dark Souls 3 is also the first DS game I've ever played.
Question:
>Are the controls MEANT to be this horrible?
It seems to me the main difficulty in this game is the fucking controls. Am I doing something wrong?

>>184321440
I did add the icons.
Why bother with icons that do not correspond to the keyboard?

holy shit if only I knew I would have bought it
Is it worth it to get one even if I already have the game + dlc? Or is there something like a code I can get on ebay
