>>186405246
I hope that he will play TRC today. He just killed homoprinces so not much base game left.

>>186405863
Naw, 2 had the worst defense mechanics of the series.
For a significant part of the game's life, defenses were blatantly too good and ruined entire weapon classes that simply didn't deal enough damage per hit to contend with havel.
Then they changed the defense formula and added flynn's ring, and from then on out armour was meaningless and seldom used except in the rare case of a poisebuild, in which case defense was still largely ignored in favour of poise minmaxing.

The fact that elemental defense could be stacked to the point of utterly negating spell damage was also kind of silly considering spells are generally harder to land than melee attacks.

I just started playing DaS2. I beat DaS1 twice, so I kind of knew what to expect, but this shit seems fucking unfair. I'm still in the first area (forest of the giants) and I keep being forced to fight multiple enemies at the same time, enemies appear behind me out of fucking nowhere, and now I have been fucking cursed. Cursed in the first area? That shit didn't happen to me in DaS1. The breaking weapons are annoying too.

I don't know man, I'm not really feeling it. I think it's a lot uglier too, and the atmosphere is weird. I know this is supposed to be the worst one, but I still expected more. Is it worth fighting through the beginning?

Posted in the old general, sorry.

>>186406185
Getting 1k resist takes severe investment to reach.
The havel problem wouldnt be an issue if soul memory didnt exist

>>186406229
>I'm encountering difficulty in a dark souls game should I give up
Gee.
Also curse functions different mechanically in 2. It just advances your hollowing 1 stage, which can be reversed at any time by consuming an effigy.

>>186406428
It doesn't actually take much investment to reach thanks to the stackable rings and burr effects.
Defense-stacking wasn't solely a soul memory issue, though Helixidons could only exist because of soul memory. Being a minmaxed defensive brick with a strong weapon was perfectly doable at 150 without any notable tradeoffs. The exact build just depended on which fotm meta weapon at the time was strong enough to actually hurt someone through that defense.

>>186406229
Expecting an experience similar to DaS1 from DaS2 is a huge mistake.
I felt pretty much the same way when I first started playing DaS2, ended up abandoning it for awhile.
Skip to DaS3 if you want something similar to DaS1, it might also get you used to playing Souls games differently, which I found important for appriciating DaS2.

>>186406461
>consuming an effigy doesn't heal you

>>186406229

>>186406229
>I keep being forced to fight multiple enemies at the same time, enemies appear behind me out of fucking nowhere
Be more careful, those enemies where already there.
>and now I have been fucking cursed. Cursed in the first area?
It's not as bad as DS1 curse, it just made you hollow without killing you.
>The breaking weapons are annoying too.
Use more than one weapon. Having a blunt side weapon will help you immensely against armored enemies and will help you keep your main weapon durability.

>I don't know man, I'm not really feeling it. I think it's a lot uglier too, and the atmosphere is weird. I know this is supposed to be the worst one, but I still expected more. Is it worth fighting through the beginning?
You're just going into the game expecting it to be bad. Either leave your prejudices behind and give it a chance or just drop it and play a game you think you'll enjoy more.

He's making some decent points about DS3's linearity and how Ariandel decreases the feeling on linearity from the game while TRC kinda doesn't because it's stuck to the endgame or after Ariandel.

Then again, Old Hunters is a singular DLC....

>>186407073
Ariandel was the best thing to happen to DaS3 and the fact that it's both positioned in the earlygame as a branch point, and is designed around accommodating a low-level player's exploration is a huge deal. The first bit especially, everything between the first and second bonfire, is really well designed so that a high-level player can approach it head on, while a lower level one can choose to stealth past and still pick up worthwhile upgrade material and even weapons.

are the demon souls servers always finicky?

i get lonely when i cant see peoples messages

>>186406229
Get used to it or drop it. Many things in DaS2 are broken AF. Some for enemies, like cyclops grabs or magic in dlc's, some for player.

>>186407353
Part with doggos is crap, but at millwood knights and further ashes become ok.

>>186408082
You want to play offline anyways, there's a bug that fucks with your sound and possibly corrupts your saves when online.

>>186408458
Neat thing about the wolves, they don't attack until you get close. You can literally walk slowly around them, skirt the pack while they rear up and growl at you, and move onto the next area without fighting. The big one will of course fight you, and the others will come to help if you attack him, but you can slip into the next area to lure him off.

>Eastern Armour is heavier than Elite Knight Armour
In what universe does that even make sense.

>>186408545
>possibly corrupts your saves
the sound shit happened yesterday, not the saves i didn't know that...

Is it better to leave my weapons raw so I can buff them with whatever element I want instead of infusing them with an element? I like to stay versatile.
I'm 40/40 pyro and want to infuse my saints bident with magic/lightning/fire sometimes.

Unless you have 60 Int or Fai, your magic/lightning buffs are going to be pure shit. And Carthus Flame Arc still gives less raw AR at 40/40 than CMW or Lightning Blade at 60 Int/60 Fai.

Pyros are a case where elemental infusions are better, since the scaling for infusions soft-caps at the 30 or 40 range. Although you can just use both with Force-casting.

soul spear is in huntsman's copse(near a syan knight and a chest with a bone shard), crystal soul spear is from burning ascetics on duke's dear freja, soul greatsword is in drangelic castle

soul vortex and homing soulmass are good in pve too, i can't remember where you get all of the copies but agdane sells soul vortex in the undead crypt and another copy is in the room where you find the first dlc key in sotfs. the homing soulmass can be bought from ornifex and the crystal version is at shrine of amana

the spears have low casts but are really great for pve mobs if you have good positioning, you can line enemies up to hit many of them at once, this is really fun to do in fights like the skeleton lords

soul vortex is somewhat hard to get used to but it can be really good against mobs, big enemies and bosses, it's great for crowd control. if you get the ball part to go through an enemy then you can stunlock them (or stagger them in the case of bosses)

unleash magic is also pretty good for a pure caster but it comes really late (aldia's keep but actually later since you need to show navlaan the feather you get from dragon aerie)

also the dlc can be a grind since the enemies have a lot of magic resistance, it's not as bad if you're a pure sorcerer since you'll probably be maxing out your magic damage but you want to get all of the amber herb/wilted dusk herb items from merchants before you go to the dlcs

Spells will never be as fun as they were in DaS2. It was in a prototyping stage in DaS1 anyways, you couldn't get Sunlight Blade and DMB on the same character unless it was in NG+, and fire weapon buffs also didn't exist yet. If you wanted to buff with magic, MLGS was better in every way.

All those spells are useless until you get real shitload of attunement and gear for more casts. DaS2 casters are all about spamming cheap spells.

>>186412236

The Darkmoon ring doesn't work that well (http://illusorywall.tumblr.com/post/108900316179/dark-souls-1-how-the-darkmoon-invasion-ring-works), it's better to invade instead. Just check which post-AL areas are active (http://dscmstat.us/) and invade there. Darkmoons downwards invasion range is huge, so you can level up to SL100 and still invade NG sinners.

if you're going for a pure caster you have lots of points left over for attunement, it's not unreasonable to go for 50 or even 75 attunement if you're only using spells

also the ring you get from ng+ najka helps a lot with having more attunement slots

You know, I was really starting to enjoy this game until I got to catacombs of carthus. What a joke. Challenging is one thing. Having no chance after getting hit once no matter how high your stats are or what equipment you're using is something else entirely. And I absolutely LOVE it when your souls don't show up where you died - you know, where you might actually have a chance of recovering them. No way! Instead they magically appear right next to the enemy that just stun-locked you after one hit. Super fair. I wish I had a weapon like that where once you hit something it can't run, can't dodge, and it even turns fast rolls into fat rolls. Guess I better go back and search for a cloak of invisibility because I don't see any other way of getting past this guy.

The amount of armour sets in 2 is insane.
That and the rags. No good plate, just rags. In fact, even the non-plate stuff and rags aren't good...

the character model's proportions will warp and stretch to fit whatever armor you equip, so if you use two different armors from two different sets, you end up with a character with either really fat chest but skinny legs, or vice-versa. Same with stretched necks, twig legs, or massive shoulders/knees.

They clearly wanted to make it easier to "cosplay" by having your character look more like the bosses when wearing their armor, but the result is a bunch of armor that looks fucking dumb as hell when you're not wearing the full set.

>>186420373
>He's easy once you know his moves by heart.

word

moveset exam bosses are fucking boring, no one goes into the tauros demon fight "alright, time to learn this guy's moves"

>>186420745
And neither does Nameless Kang. You can beat him with good dodging/blocking, and only really need to watch out for his grab attack. His attacks hit hard, but they are by no means impossible to dodge without prior knowledge.

>>186420857
regardless

force awakens is pure unreedemable cashgrab garbage, nothing like the "prequels" or "sequels"

>>186420505
>Wait, are you going for characters or movies?
Both, but mostly characters.
>also, you fucked up the crop
Done with paint, good enough. Previous version was worse.

>>186420942
Because Taurus is a trivial gimmick fight. There's no need to learn his moves because you're never subject to attack when you solve the fight's "puzzle."
If you choose to fight him normally, there's a moveset you'll need to learn, complete with arbitrarily delayed attacks meant to bait rolls, and one with long active frames that doesn't have any visual indication of its long active frames, which punishes rolls by simply outlasting iframes.

>>186420948
it's not that they're impossible to dodge, it's that they're animated in such a way that, without prior knowledge of how his attack work, prompt reactionary rolls from the player and are designed to catch players out by holding the attack for slightly longer than you would expect

it's a completely artificial way to make the games difficult, it results in fights which have to be played a few times to get comfortable with the movesets which are then never a problem

>>186421176
he wasn't a trivial gimmick fight the first time you fought him

also the point is dark souls 3 does this gimmick of moveset exams so much that by the end of the game you're not even intimidated by bosses, you just think of them are more moves to learn even the first time you go into the fight

Nothing, Onyx Blade is the best early weapon you can get as a pyro since it's fire damage buff is non-scaling, its physical damage requirements are low and elemental scaling is great making it perfect for all your needs.

>>186429908
Not that anon but what's a good later game weapon for a mostly pure int/fai (IE no physical investments beyond what's required) caster? I used the onyx blade for a while but it feels next to useless on most bosses

Carthus is the middle east isn't it?

If Onyx Blade feels useless to you I don't know what else would be significantly stronger than that. Some other good options though are a Chaos/Dark Longsword or Lothric Knight Sword.

I disagree desu. Dark Souls 3 has some great looking armors and especially a lot of very grounded looking sets. Dark Souls 1 was probably the worst for fashion Souls due to a lot of enemy sets being designed so that they look "good" on the zombie enemies but completely stupid on healthy humans.

Meanwhile Dark Souls 3 has a lot of good soldier / knight armors that actually look appropriate.

Yes, let me just remake my 60 faith build and experience the joy of getting everything remotely useful at the end of the game.

Should have considered that before leveling up that high. Prioritize when it's best to obtain various items and spells, especially for that covenant spell that's fucking notorious for lack of activity at high levels.

>tfw no stylish witch cloak in das3

I killed wolnir before decending down to the smouldering lake. I also never met anri in here.
What has happened?

>>186440992
Did you talk to Anri at Firelink after killing Deacons? And if so, did you find Anri before going down the boulder stairway?

>>186441128
>Did you talk to Anri at Firelink after killing Deacons?
yes

>And if so, did you find Anri before going down the boulder stairway?
no

>>186441380
Then you need to find her in the first half of Carthus, before she'll appear next to the wooden bridge leading to Wolnir.

>>186441694
okay I just talked to her there.
Should I kill horace before talking to her on the wooden bridge or not?

So today for the first time I found that there is a cage elevator in Sen's. That would have been nice to know years ago

>>186442362

>>186442254
Doesn't matter but you has to die before you send her down or she'll die and his death is a prerequisite to getting summoned by her for Aldrich
>>186443131
It's right there on the way to the boss and it's interactable.

>>186443258
I talked to her and died to the skeleton horde. Then I saw a prism stone there.
What does this mean?

>>186442362
Add to your resume.

>>186442362
*sl26

>>186443426
Now I've killed horace and the prism stone is still there. I wonder if I rekt the quest line

>>186443426
She moved to the next location. If you told about Horace, you need to go to the his spot before she spawns in irithyll.

Any recommendation for backup weapon in a starting sorcerer? I like the initial Mail Breaker but the weapon consumes FP just to break into shields. I feel like I need something that can either bypass pesky shield users or clearing out multiple enemies (especially dogs and rats).

Does anyone know if you can use CE to change your name on DS3 to longer than is allowed? And without getting banned of course.

>tfw doing a brigand dagger and short bow run

This is pretty fucking fun.

>>186443485
Why should he not use rings? As long he got them legitimately, not with CE/muling. Although I will pose this one question
>>186442362
Where did you get 49 souls of a great champion?

>>186443867

Don't use the secondary effect of mail breaker, Early game enemies have the shield stability of a wet paper towel.

If you need something meatier, try robbing the mimic early on

>>186443942

>try doing a faith character in das3
>have to just melee everything for like the 3 areas untill i can get lighting spear or gnaw
>finally get it lighting spear
>it sucks and does less damage then my mace
>im better off just using the mace and saving my FP for healing miracles
>basically another melee character but with faith

this is fucking sucks i remember the lighting spear dealing way more damage in the last 2 games then in 3. is it this shitty for pyros and sorcerers?

>>186444964
>is it this shitty for pyros and sorcerers?

Nope.

Faith has always been about support miracles anyway. Lightning stake feels really good to use though.

>>186444964
>is it this shitty for pyros and sorcerers?
sort of, except pyros and sorcerers don't have to wait until DLC2 for their good spells

>>186444964
Faith builds are meant for support spells, just like DeS.
Miyazaki is a fucking genius.

Why don't I ever see anyone using the Carthus Shotel? It's got a fun moveset and is pretty long for a normal Curved Sword

>>186444590
Thanks. I'll do that. I overlooked the shortsword.

>>186445202
then what are the lightning spells for?
cosplay?

>>186445649
Doing a lot of damage later in the game.

>>186445586
>rare drop from mobs so average retard doesn't have it

the only thing going for it would be shield chip

Did anyone here get banned by using the deadzone fix on DSII SoTFS?

I need advice on what to do for a crossbow gimmick character in DS3

>>186445803
It's way longer than the falchion though, it may even be on par with the PKCS

>>186445712
>Doing a lot of damage later in the game.
not really

>>186446007

From my experience it does. Also you can do some serious damage in pvp and team fights.
