So, who do you think the Furtive Pygmy actually was? And I'm not talking about the species, since it's pretty clear who they are. I'm talking about the OG Furtive Pygmy motherfucker who snatched up the Dark Soul and first brought humanity into the world. Who was it?

Manus makes the most sense to me, but I'm interested to hear other ideas.

weapon scaling for int/fth softcaps at 40 still, (it's only spellbuff that caps at 60) but a pure int build should go to 60 anyway, and MLGS can benefit from 60 out of the merit of its good scaling anyway.

Cute!

>>187485826
Flamberge is pretty unremarkable as far as greatswords go. Bastard sword R2 is a lot worse than claymore poke.

Nerfed rouge only adds 20 buildup so you won't proc it with that speed anyway.

Corvian Scythe's R1s have the most range out of all of them.
Staggered R1 will be your bread and butter on it, because other attacks are pretty bad in comparison.

>>187485826
The sharp buff makes flamberge basically the strongest greatsword, since it is equal to the claymore but also has bleed.

BUT

The only way to proc bleed is to use it at very low levels, where the sharp buff almost doesn't matter anymore.

So the best way to use flamberge either Raw or Sharp on really low levels (like 16/16 SL25+2) with rouge.

At that point, it has a roughly a 5% damage advantage over claymore, but also with bleed damage.

When you get to higher levels though, flamberge's usefulness drop off and it just becomes a slightly stronger but significantly harder to farm greatsword, since the bleed becomes useless.

>>187485916
>So, who do you think the Furtive Pygmy actually was?

>>187486629
>>187486514
Well that's a shame. I'll probably still use the Flamberge though, since the sheath on the back when using the Claymore is annoying as fuck and makes literally no sense. Autism

Plus I love what it looks like.

Prepare yourself my man.

I want to play Dark Souls 3 again.
Since I need a "standard" weapon, do I pick a sword (safe bet), or do I try something else, like an axe?

Are slashes weapons completely useless? I tried one earlier with my best character, still did piss poor damage.

>>187487610
>I want to play Dark Souls 3 again.

>>187487780
Yeah, but I already finished the game with a straight sword, I wanted to try something different.
And while I love spears, they're lacking in damage and attack speed.

>>187487807
Don't you get them late in the game?

>>187487952
Try Curved Greatswords or Hammers. Not Great Hammers, Hammers.

>>187487610
Straigth Swords are pretty much broken for both PVP and PVE. A lot of people make the mistake of spamming R1 in PVP, which will work against retards, but against a decent player, you'll generally want to hit twice, then heavy or just roll away. Though in PVE you can just spam r1 to win.
With the Lothric Knight Sword and the Long Sword being the best.
Plus they're amazing for roll catching.

For just PVE though, most Greatswords are top tier. I'd suggest the Flamberge or the Claymore.
Vordt's hammer is also god tier. As the weapon art staggers bosses if you're in their face.
I play a Debuff build though, which is brokenly overpowered for PVE. Storyteller's Staff and Dohrys Gnawing or however you spell it. Literally just Poison, then spam bleed bombs. Which shreds all bosses.

For PVP only, the best weapons are generally the weapons you feel the most comfortable, but as always, there will be exceptions. Most Straight Swords are crazy good. But again, LKS and LS are best. With great damage, range, speed and weapon arts. One for Hyper Armoring through attacks and dealing huge damage. And the other for INSTANT shield destroying.
Greatswords with Straightsword Stance are also amazing (claymore and flamberge).
Spears are also pretty good since the range just allows you to stay at a distance if you're good.

>>187487952
Right. you could CE them once you hit the requirements

>>187487732
I guess I just got used to it. When I got back onto DaS3 though, my friend gave me a Havel+3, Favor+3, Prisoner's Chain and Chloranthy+3, which are hilariously overpowered.

>>187488070
Fine for hammers at first, and straight greatswords later in the game, then.
What about regular curved swords?

>>187488085
I don't intend to play PvP, to be honest. I'm all in for jolly cooperation, but Dark Souls 2's AI phantom completely turned me away from PvP.
>I'd suggest the Flamberge or the Claymore
Sounds good too, I remember the flamberge looking cool.
>the best weapons are generally the weapons you feel the most comfortable
That's precisely why I want to try something different : I finished the game with just 4 different weapons (not counting the Storm Ruler), and it feels like a waste since there's a shitload of weapons.
Don't try to sell me any spear, I'm already a fan of the spear from Dark Souls 1 to Dark Souls 2, and only ascended to the Winged Spear in the third game.

>>187488148
CE? Chaos Enchant?

>>187488267
Cheat engine, if it's pc

>>187488308
It's on PC, but it would defeat the point.

>>187488267
>Sounds good too, I remember the flamberge looking cool.
Well, you're in luck because if I remember correctly, it's slightly more powerful than the Claymore.

Other than that, do you like spells? A faith or pyromancy build is great fun for PVE and Co-op. And faith even got a buff recently, and the new spells are god tier.
If you get 12 int and 25 Faith, you can shred practically all bosses with Storyteller's Staff weapon art (stronger than regular poisons by about 3x more damage, almost making it as deadly as toxic). And Dorhy's Gnawing, which got a buff a couple patches ago to make it faster. These two will carry you through early game easy as fuck. And when you get to end game and DLC's, you'll have access to one of the greatest miracles. Lightning Arrow, which is almost unpunishable.

>>187488498
Yeah, I looked on wikidot, that's the one with the waving blade.
>Other than that, do you like spells?
Not at all, but I might try a sorcery run one day. Three fucking games and I think I can count on one hand how many spells I used.

Despite having them all in my collection.

Oh wait, nevermind, I'm actually a retard.
>I thought I finished Dark Souls 3 because I beat Ariandel and called it a day, then deleted the game to save some disk space

>>187488417
what point? enjoying a weapon a bit sooner because it's locked in late-game?

>>187488714

>>187487952
>Don't you get them late in the game?
not if you kill dancer early and farm that nigger in the castle

>>187488583
Ahh, alright.

You could try Onyx Blade as well. Almost noting has Dark Defense. It's probably one of my favorite looking Greatswords. Has the Claymore moveset, but is the longest greatsword. And it's weapon art is a buff, which adds even more pure dark damage.
And if you level int and faith together, if you find something that has dark defense, you could just infuse a weapon with chaos. Which will help, since that also scales with int and faith.

My pyro has zero spells and instead relies primarily on this weapon. It's fucking hilarious being a Pyro but as melee.

>>187488815
>if you kill dancer early
That's a big "if", Anon. I'm not joking, when I fought the Dancer, I had a hearstoke. I'm dead serious.

I beat it with crucifix the other day; it's ridiculous how it staggers nearly everything to death, even bosses.

Realistically speaking, what weapons are viable in PvE?
I assume the daggers and ultra greatswords are useless, given their short range and slow attack speed, but on a case-to-case?

Not particularly, unless you also get it to high upgrade early. Weapons in Dark Souls are balanced in a way that items found later are not upgrades to the ones found earlier, this isn't TES. Hell, one of the best weapons in the game across most builds is the bog-standard Longsword.
Consider this. What difference is there between spawning one with ce and getting someone to drop you one? Other than it uses 3rd party programs, what is the difference? It has no effect in the game other than getting to have your fun earlier. The only negative is being afraid of bannu, but it's 100% safe

Also, particularly for the twinaxes, there is a fatso shortly after dancer

>>187485945
>completely telegraphed swings
I might be wrong here since I'm fairly new but doesn't telegraphed mean that the attack follows you as you are trying to side strafe/back step?
If I'm correct how are the Adjudicators attacks telegraphed, I mean his swings land where you stold 10 seconds ago when you sidestrafe, this bossfight is ridiculously easy imo

>What difference is there between spawning one with ce and getting someone to drop you one?
I just find it more interesting to get it yourself. Like, to pick TES's example, you're never some scrub, you always have a destiny or some special power to give you an advantage over the enemies.
In Dark Souls, you can literally start from just using a big stick to be a full, armed-to-the-teeth knight. That's what I like.

>Even if some damage types are more useful than others.
Not so much in 1/3 and even if they were, it's not like this particular damage type is only available that far into the game so you're cheesing enemies by using it much earlier
>I just find it more interesting to get it yourself.
More power to you but then you shouldn't complain about it being "lategame". If the choice is between cheating in the item and getting bored halfway through because you've already done this route a million times, I prefer cheating every time.

How do I defend myself from invaders in dark souls 3?

I really don't mind dying but people are killing me pretty easily and its actually quite embarrassing to not be able to put up a fight.

Right now I am level 112 and I typically use yhorms great machete or millwood battle axe. My stats right now are like 66 strength, 20 end, 20 vit, 20 vigor and 22 faith I think and like 13 dex. Roughly.

Anyway, is yhorms great machete even a good weapon? I feel like when I get a solid hit, its still just not enough because I can't follow up because people can roll out of the hit.

I also don't know how to chase people down and apply pressure so they can't heal when they run away. What are some general pvp tips that will help a person who typically PvE's defend himself from invaders? Again, I don't mind dying to them but I hate being a push over.

>>187490073
>Not so much in 1/3
Dunno man, I remember the spear being almost useless in Dark Souls.
Standard and strike damage in general seems to be more useful than thrust or slash.

And I wasn't complaining, I was just noticing. We all have our own way of playing Dark Souls, mine is to strart from the bottom of the barrel so that I'm happy to even find some old chainmail, you have a different one and it's okay.

Stats are just there to support your strategy/build. Learn to use the weapon you're using first, then worry about optimizing stats for it.

>Anyway, is yhorms great machete even a good weapon?
Some weapons are better than others because they do more damage or are easier to hit with, but experience and practice matters 100x more than your choice in weapon.

>I also don't know how to chase people down and apply pressure so they can't heal when they run away.
This is a legitimate problem with DS3 and there's not really many ways to avoid it. Your best bet is to actually try to kill them in a way where they can't or won't heal. A classic tactic is to chip their health down to halfway, so that they don't quite use an estus flask, then do 2-hits of a very powerful weapon to bring them down to 0 health. Or you could pressure them (invaders have half the number of estus you do) into drinking all their estus by trading damage, so that you have an advantage.

>What are some general pvp tips that will help a person who typically PvE's defend himself from invaders?
Humans don't act like NPCs. There's no gimmick to beat them, you have to deliberately wait for them to make a mistake, and then exploit it. In the case of DS3, there are very few mistakes that can be exploited because of how the game is more in favor of casual players, so most battle are just wars of attrition.

You generally do however want to focus all of your levels and build around a single few set of strategies and practice them until they work.

Downright impressive. The only thing it's missing is catalyst spellbuff

>>187493835
it's also there, click the dmg values. even shield defense values and poison defense values.
the amour optimizer also lets you set a minium value to work with (like poise)
I think the guy at mugen just stopped caring

How do I PvP properly with big hammers in DS2

Using a Large Club if that matters

As someone who were never around when DaS2 was in its prime.
What's the deal with the Laddle?

Is this true? I've been using the Flamberge for the past week now, and I've noticed that when I do the Weapon Art R2, not the shield riposting one, the one where you pierce them with massive hyper armor, my damage goes up severely. The amount of times I've just hyper armored (also the fact that the Weapon Art R2 gives you a huge defensive buff too) into someone with that attack and ended up hitting them for over 50% of their health isn't small. In fact, it's generally the attack I end up killing people on most invasions. Just trade with them for Ultra R2 tier damage.

Apparently I deleted that character. You might not be able to "powerstance" them, but using them both together seemed to do wonders for me.

Do I go to anorlondo or kill yhorm at the profaned capital?

What's the chance of getting off a bleed with a Great Corvian Scythe? What about with Carthus Rouge?

I just got to the dungeon after completing all quests, and after some back tracking for some items I forgot, I luckily got one of these. And I really like how it looks like. Luckily at the same time, I got pretty much optimal stats for it.

If it makes a difference, I'm a level 60 with +6.

I'm at a loss when it comes to my Hammer build in DaS2, I really want to Powerstance, sadly Possessed Armor Sword doesn't work, anything that resembled it? Fiery design and not trash damage?

>>187494618
It's a joke weapon, both terrible in stats and moveset.
But it used to be somewhat viable infused with Mundade.
Mundade infusion adds good scaling with the lowest stat, so you have to level everything equally. Requires very high level to be good.
Then, one day, Mundane got nerfed, because it was too good as infusion at SL300+. And Ladle was again terrible.
You get the softcaps for Mundane at 20 in every stat. That's 220 AR for Ladle post-nerf.

>>187495065
People seem to confuse powerstance with dual wielding a lot
>>187495212
Anor Londo first if you haven't reached that certain point in Greirat's quest and haven't entered the dungeon. Yhorm first if you're doing Siggy's quest so you don't get cockblocked by Emma

>>187494762
>>187494618
DS2 has Mundane infusion. It works as a sort of "Anti-Raw" infusion.

Raw makes weapons with bad scaling viable but giving them a boost in base damage, thus making them work well on min-max builds.

Mundane does the opposite, lowering base damage but providing scaling based on minimum stat, thus making low base damage weapons viable on builds with every stat the same.

The ladle has 10 damage. Which means it loses NOTHING from mundane infusion, and gains literally huge amounts of damage instead.

Before mundane was nerfed, it used to provide almost twice the benefit of damage it does now. Handmaid's ladle did nearly 300 AR with only 20 or 30 as the minimum stat. It's still powerful, but only about 200 AR now instead.

When they say everything is viable in DS2, they meant it. Shit like mundane infusion and raw infusion working together to widen the range of viable weapons was genius.

Did Velka ever appear in-game besides as a statue?

Question, now that all the casuals and Twitchfags have abandoned Dark Souls 3, is it safe to play without being ganked by retards?

And what's the current salt mine?

Nope, because the game will always prioritize group summons and everyone who doesn't want invaded plays offline, and everyone who wants a 1v1 is in the arena.

>And what's the current salt mine?
Arena.

Only Axes, Curved Sword, Great Axe, Great Mace are allowed for some reason.

>>187490137
Your stats are all over the place.

You want 40 VIT, 40 END and 66 STR fro Yhorms. In fact, as a general rule you always want 40 VIT and END unless you're a caster and can't spare the points.

While Yhorm's is a good STR weapon, you will occasionally run into "that guy". You know the guy who does nothing but dodge all your attacks and wait for you to do something that he can punish. In those cases you want to break out a heavy longsword.

Lock on to the Nameless King during the first phase. That way both the drake and the rider will be in your view at all times. If the drake flies straight upward, run away.

Bosses get extra health when you summon so they get harder to beat if your summon is shit

>>187496730
the arena would be good if DS3 was designed as a 1v1 game. It's just a clusterfuck of extreme passive meta tactics right now though, since the best way to guarantee a win is to spam chip damage with 100 different gimmick weapons and buffs

Are anor londo enemies weak to dark or fire?

>>187497603
Because it adds to the replayability of the game. There's no way people would be playing the same game over a year after release if it weren't for the PvP.

>>187497603

Yeah, Dark Souls and DS3 in particular has a large part of it's intrigue in doing occasional PvP / Invasions alongside PvE. BB has good enough PvE to be a completely singleplayer / co-op experience (which it is because the PvP is dogshit) but DS3 feels a bit empty if you don't have access to PvP.

All tested on the same person. Granted I'm only level 70, so I might not have the stats to make the most of LKGS. But this is absolutely retarded.

Especially since Flamberge has in my opinion, a better weapon art.

No they weren't. You could get Winged Spear Early and it'll carry you through whole game, sure they're not as OP as STR shit, but they're still good enough. More so with Leo Ring.
Or you could be like me and be a Versatile Knight who used Silver Knight Spear with it's glorious moveset.

>>187499395
Kellogs I don't meme much, which boss is this?
Also spears are kind of Defensive tools than Offensive R1 Spam. You're supposed to Counter hit with them apparently. I myself never really figured counter hit times for most enemies since it was easier to just parry riposte.

>>187499430
Depends on spear. My personal favorite spear in DS3 is quality so 40/40. Ringed Knight Spear, though Heavy Saint Bident buffed is terrifyingly strong too at 27/60 Str/Faith.

>>187499395
>my best spear dealt, like, 20 damage
Did you use a broken one, what the shit?
>>187499430
Quality is dead as an infusion, so only uninfusable spears are better quality. RKS, DSS and GFS come to mind. Most any infusable spear is better sharp except I think the bident (heavy or lightning) and the javelin

>The default spear is kind of shit and it looks ugly as sin too
Yeah, but it weight less than a winged spear. It's 3.5 versus 5 if I remember right. Since I do most of my runs at an usually low level, it helps.

Also the contest entry was found to have been just a photoshop of a stock image of a pig but it had already won the community vote at that point so Fromsoft put it in and put a really disparaging description on it.

For fuck's sake, don't look too hard into this shit. This isn't Metal Gear, Souls doesn't really pay that much attention into the details as long as the "message" is clear.

Maybe he was killed when Pontiff took over Anor Londo or maybe he just simply hammered away until he collapsed.

Not really as long as your stats are adjusted accordingly
>what are some tips for using the heavier weapons in the game
Get strength to 66. Wear some heavier armor and learn to trade. Learn to space properly. Don't just rush in and expect to win by mashing R1. Mix up swing speeds. Don't be afraid to use R2s and mix up the timing.

Does anyone else here play the Souls game for the PvE and jolly cooperation or am I all alone here?

Demon's Souls PS4 Remaster when?
DS1 on Switch when?

I already lost all hope for Souls Vita.

>>187507110
you forgot to take your meds, anon

>>187507697
You can also invade other players or join fight clubs, if PvP isn't an issue.

>>187485586
Gonna be all over that shit m8

It has all the dynamic timing, resource management and moveset based combat that I enjoy in the Souls series, except the game is solely boss fights. The bosses in question typically have very interesting designs and mechanics, there are a lot of weapons to choose from, and the skill ceiling is extremely high, even if it's a purely PvE game.

See you on the hunt

Why does the Nameless King look hollow if he's a god

>>187507996
You get medals for killing hosts as Sunlight Warrior Invader.
Also at SL70 if your upgrade level is 7-9 you can get Dragonslayer Armor.

>>187507996
As long as you're in the Sun covenant, you get Medals for any online interactions. Even invading.

>>187508354
It's okay, they're scum that dishonored the covenant.

>>187485847
Is there anything legitimately wrong with whites? I'm pretty much the only person I see in DS2 beig summoned as a white phantom, every other one is a sunbro.

>>187508565
Being a sunbro makes it easier to summon you, and the reward is more interesting.

>>187508354
Upgrade level 10 means that you can only match to level +7 max. Most people should have a +7/8 weapons by that point but who knows. I usually co-op against Armor at SL65 with +8 weapon.

Also your refusal changes nothing man, only Sunlight people get medals for killing it. Darkmoon are eternal cucks.

>>187505919
How much longer until his sister becomes pregnant from his seed?

>>187507110
The rights to publish Demon's Souls are split 3 ways so it would depend on those conpanies to come together to publish it again. Rerelease of DaS1 is much more plausible tbqh.

>>187508656
I thought it only made people who are also in the same covenant more likely to summon you.

>>187508354
Nameless King is hollowed out and angry. Sunlight medals for killing hosts makes sense.

>dodge the hit
>bleed and frostbite still build up anyway
Explain this

>>187508461
Orange phantoms are cool though

>>187508354
>>187508461

Sunvades should only reward you a medal in Archdragon Peak, placing sunbro signs in ADP should be disabled and Nameless should have a different cutscene if you go in wearing Solaire / Ornstein gear .

>>187508883
>Complaining that rolling doesn't make you even more invincible

>>187508671
Do they really own the right to publish or did they just published it?

>>187508763
You really expect everyone to follow through quest lines? I know it's possible to get a +10 but trust me, 70% of people don't.

Alright faggots, one of you needs to recommend me a challenge build/run of Dark Souls 1. Every time I play this fucking game I can't help but rush a +5 weapon and brainlessly faceroll the first half of the game.

>>187508981
That'd be sick. I loved how Fume knight instantly goes berserk if you enter wearing Velstadt gear. Only found out about it last night when I was summoned by someone wearing it. It's these little lore things that make Dark souls so appealing to me.

>>187508821
Not in DaS2. Check the Soul Level thing, the one thing that fucked DaS2.

>Currently getting my ass handed to my by Ornstien 2.0.
>Just killed the last giant and did most of the shit in the woods, save for the area with the teenage mutant Ninja turtles and some asshole who flies around on a crow

>>187509245
I know about Soul memory, I just thought being in the sun covenant would give you a wider SM range for summoning people in that same covenant, like using a name engraved ring.

>>187509072
Fromsoft selfpublishes in Japan I think and they get a bigger cut out of the sales in Japan due to that. Bamco handled the western publishing of Dark Souls.

For Demon's Souls the publishing was split between From, Sony and Fatlus(NA I think).

For BB it was From / Sony

>>187509419
I read that being a sunbro gave you a wider SM, no matter the summoner.

>>187509416
Ornstein is very very easy. Just circle around him and he misses nearly every hit. Use a shield if you want to be safe.

>>187508883
>the wound has somehow closed because I rolled
>I would have lost my leg if I hadn't thrown myself to the ground said the Everest mountaineer

>>187509558
You're probably right, I just misinterpreted the information I was given by the game I think.

>>187509564
He isn't the problem as much as I go into the fight down a few estus because of the big knights before him.
I also found a summon sign close by. Should I keep fighting ornstien alone or bring him?
Also it didn't take me 12 hours to get to where I am, it took like 3.

>>187509580
No that's not what I'm saying
>dodge an hit

Sony published DeS in Asia, but yeah. After it From did their own Publishing for DaS series
BB is all on Sony though so never ever PC.

>>187509832
You can just dash through the area since you've already downed the wyvern guarding the cathedral and save yourself some estus.

As for summmons, it's up to how you want your run to play out. If you're going for an individual challenge you may want to do all bosses alone, some of which are very tricky your first time around. Might want to summon for some areas either way, especially on the DLC. The optional areas are absolute cancer if you tackle them alone.

>>187509956
Yea, Sony stake in an i.p screws the chances of a game's pc port harder than namebro does his sis.

>>187509416
Build is good. If you're comfortable with that weapon, I suggest focusing on VIG, END and ADP for now.
Keeping an upgraded blunt weapon as sideweapon is very helpful for dealing with armored enemies and maintaining your main weapon's durability.

>>187509832
That area has two paths, and the one leading to Ornstein is harder and optional. If you struggle too much, you can try it later.
Some summon NPCs are pretty good (Bradley of the Old Guard, Bashful Ray...), making some bosses easier, but not good enough to kill the boss for you with a few exceptions.

>>187504598
Forget about medium armor, it is good only for fashion purposes. Only superheavy armor makes a difference, and if you are not going for it, light and medium are almost equal in terms of defense and poise.

>>187509007
Getting bleed/frost buildup while rolling actually makes rolls much more powerful, since you can roll through their procs without taking damage.

What did you reply with?

I've been playing a bunch of ds2 today, got invaded a couple times and saw quite a few summon signs, and almost all of them were wearing havel's. I got the usual vengarldrangleic shitter, but almost everyone I saw, even the phantoms of other players you see for a few seconds, were havelmonsters. I just barely hit 2 million SM, I thought havelmonsters were seen above SL 300. What is happening ? Is there a havel revolution ?

>>187511898
But why? Like, I've been mad in this game over losing, but not enough to wish death on someone. Like what the fuck?

So I FINALLY started the Ringed City, and I have one question.

Did From fucking slapped their faccid dicks all over the keyboard to make that abomination? I can't look at the scenery for more than 5 seconds without being disconnected due to low FPS.

>>187512065
I haven't. I don't plan to. I got banned on PSN once simply for saying "Grow up."

>>187512345
You should talk to him about his anger issues.

>>187512209
>But why?
Because they're fucking idiots.

I don't really have anything against casuals, but people who bitch about a mechanic that literally exists to challenge their fucking stupid easy mode co-op playthrough functioning as intended are the cancer that is killing videogames.

>>187493487
They don't often do difference between pygmies and humans. For example, both are filled with humanity, but humanity is called "humanity" for both, not "pygmeity".

>>187512569
To be fair, there's no alternative to Dark Souls where you can only coop.

>>187512489
I don't wanna risk being banned again.

Just tried Dorhys Gnawing, and it literally did 88 damage to his second phase with a +7 Saints Talisman

>>187513049
He's weak to Dark. Fuck him with Dorhy's gnawing, or Great Soul Dregs, a dark melee weapon.
Or Crossbow + exploding bolts plus walking back.

>>187513456

>>187512853
Interesting.

>PvE shitters would leave

That's not what we want though. I need people to invade to get my jollies, and I don't really care about 3v1 fighting because I can still win like 75% of the time.

I love the invasion mechanic and think it makes Dark Souls into one of the most unique gaming experiences you can get, and I'm just really sad that some of these people don't appreciate the point of it and just want to trivialise the game with some buddies and get mad when the game attempts to be challenging in an interesting way.

When Dark Souls 3 is dead, I hope there is another Soulslike game on the market that can fill the invasion itch. I like co-op as much as the next guy, and I'll definitely be playing Monster Hunter with some friends because the PvE is designed around there being like four people present and balanced to accomodate it.

I don't like co-op removing all challenge from a game. I think it weakens the overall experience immensely and I don't think it's worth the sense of camaraderie you get, which is itself diluted by the lack of challenge. If you team up with some friends and kill something that is very difficult even with multiple people, you get much more joy out of it than just curbstomping something that isn't really designed for more than two people. Unless, that is, you're a casual faggot who plays moderately difficult games and then complains that they are too hard.

Fine, sorry I miswrote.
I want all casual shitters who have only played the game with 3 other phantoms hand holding them through entire game leave.

There are casuls on this general right now who haven't completed the game solo.
Summoning for hard bosses, or when you've died 4-5 times is alright in my books but casuls who just summon 60 phantoms for area they've never been just annoy me.
