thinly disguised DS pvp thread
come complain, come git gud
I for one enjoy fighting a host getting escorted by 3 phantoms and having a seed of giants activated
>>337835665
Seed of a Tree of Giants? More like Seed from my Peenus Weanus cause the seed is my jizz and the tree is, of course my Peenus Weanus and giant being how big my Peenus Weanus is.
so in short my Peenus Weenus is pretty big.

Some people claim this is time wasted, but personally I can't consider a good laugh time spent wasted.
>>337835665
I want to fertilize that seed.
Phantom invasion priority + sippies being incredibly hard to punish + seed being usable every 3 invasions + hosts having 20% more health + mad phantoms siding with the stronger side
= invasions are a clusterfuck and mostly not fun
>invade a really shit host with 3 phantoms
>eventually kill all his phantoms
>he just runs back to the bonfire and summons again while rolling around like an idiot waiting for them to summon in.
I'm 200% fucking terrible at PvP in this game, the only invasion I've won legitimately was against a guy in too much armor using a really shitty dagger vs my loincloth and sharp katana. Even then I only had the tiniest sliver of health left at the end. At least neither of us sipped.
>Invade host with max phantoms
>Somehow no other invaders
>Well I can just lead them back through mobs I gue- Oh he just popped a seed.
>Fuck this shit. I have an obscuring ring.
>Cast hidden body so mobs are easier to lose too
>Dash back through the level so they lose sight of me.
>Chameleon in a good spot
>Having to track through the level with no way to refresh estus slowly brings them down

Never give up, friends. There's always a way.
>>337836651
>literally can't do anything as the host continues to roll 50 times in a row and pressing summon on every sign he sees
Imagine you could parry the estus flask out of people's hands, disabling it until they died/left the world/ rest at a bonfire.

>>337836778
One tip is to always cash in on when an invader/host is following behind you. Like, walk/run away a bit from them, but as they follow you, try to throw them off with a sudden attack. This must be the absolute easiest way to connect a hit in this game's PVP, and has actually let me overcome hosts with a couple of phantoms helping them.
I feel like your biggest struggle will be finishing off enemies, but your cleverness will be more rewarded. An offhand spear is a cool idea for taking down anyone on the run.
>>337837142
This thing?
>>337836361
Better than white in disguise
>invade as watchdog
>Red invades a second later
>find the host, smack him around for a bit
>hear something behind me, roll to the side as a FUGS comes slamming down on where I was 2 seconds ago
>niggerwhat
>this dumbass proceeds to fight me while the host watches, using up all of his estus in the process
>he finally kills me, only to be back stabbed by the host a second later
Am I just salty because I got killed, or is that red a fucking retard? It makes sense for mad spirit to act like that, but no one else gets rewarded for phantom kills so it's just wasted effort
>>337837142

>>337837298
I have so many pale tongues I don't care. As an invader I will sometimes kill Aldrich Faithful that a double teaming a lone host who is clearly a newbie or out of their depth.
If a host has phantoms in any context though kid gloves are off.
>>337837701

Things have never escalated so bad to me in a Souls game like this one time.
Are there a lot of Watchdog players by the way? fucking hell.
Who are these people ganksquadding? I swear everyone's complaining about them, but the number of them doesn't seem to be going down.
>>337838150
Show them that pyromancy is good anon, you have done a good job at that.
>>337838449
Casuls, the kind of people won't post on Chinese cartoon boards
>>337838449
of course it doesn't, because the ganksquads only do it to piss people off. They're this games twinks, just less skilled.
Which I think is stupid, because at least with twinking there was always some measure of sport to it.
>>337838449

So how many actually know that you're able to capitalize on another player's parry/guard break? i was co-oping with a friend in irythll and we got invaded and he gaurd broke an invader and missed his riposte and got a counter instead and i capitalized in HIS guard break.
man you think you know pretty much everything, and then discover something new
>>337835932
I've seen that pasta as well.
>>337839046
I miss guard breaks all the time because I'm shocked at people who don't put even a basic amount in stamina. I've been hit by my own weapons through the same shields so I usually base my idea of guard breaks on an average amount of stamina unless proven otherwise.
>>337836881
Holy shit this is a great idea. Actually getting the estus to your mouth was slower in DaS1, and healing was slower in 2, but it's difficult to punish now because it's so fast.
This would definitely keep all parties much more involved in their fights.
They need to patch in an animation for summoning Phantoms, like you do when your summon the Firekeeper in the Dark ending. You put your hand over the sign like you're lighting a Bonfire. Invading is just beyond fucked at this point, it's not even worth doing unless you're trying fuck with people with no intention of winning.
The main factor is the prioritization of Hosts with Phantoms. I'd be completely fine with Hosts half more Health and nearly double Estus if most situations were just 1v1. But no, the game prioritizes hosts with Phantoms, hosts can summon as many Phantoms as they want if one dies it can easily be replaced. There is no risk at all for summoning Phantoms, you just stand still for a second and mash X.
This shit is retarded, it needs to be changed. Have some sort of Phantom cool down where you can summon 2 but after that you need to rest a Bonfire to reset your Summon cooldown
>>337838262
Heysel is a girl.
Also
>lowder

>>337839775
DS2 had farmable healing stones though. Which were fast to use and reasonably easy to play defensively enough to get use out of them.
>>337839508
i can relate to that, i don't know if it's lots of people having sub 30 stamina or upgraded shields. it throws me off. people either insanely high stability or basically none at all
>>337839046
of course? a guard break is just something that happens when you have a guard up and your stamina breaks, it's not a special animation for anyone but the person who got their guard broke
>Finally find another Grape who isn't a complete fucking moron and we team up on the host and his 2 Phantoms
>We kill the Phantoms
>We're both running after the Host
>CONNECTION ERROR HAS OCCURRED
What does it feel like to be this big of a scared little bitch.
The only way to win invasions at the moment is one shotting people with broken R1 into weapon art combos. Once that is patched all that will remain is parry fishing.
>>337840054
Yeah, either you can only kick the shield in cause they boosted their shield/stamina, or the player guard breaks IMMEDIATELY in your combo so you hit them one too many times.. Thus hitting them out of the exploitable animation.
Anything short of a tower shield is a death sentence in PVP anyway, though.
>>337840054
people who understand what stability is and use shields don't get guard broken
people who don't understand what stability is and use shields get guard broken
pretty self explanatory, especially the part about people who don't use shields not getting guard broken
>>337840175

I will post this video every day in every thread until you lot git gud

>not expecting a guard break and they git hit with your last planned blow
JUST
>>337840141
That happened to me yesterday when I teamed up with a cherry to kill the faggot host and his bitch buddy. They had no problem trying to sneak up on me and go 2 on 1 but the second red showed up and his phantom fag died, he suddenly couldn't handle the reversal and promptly disconnected.
>>337840509
At that point I accept they are a shitter and just r1 spam through it more to get something out of the wasted break. Fuck it. They won't know how to deal with it if they let their guard break like that anyway.
>>337838682
Honestly, I don't think it would be possible to get mad at this kind of gank. That kind of organized effort and cosplay is great.Holy shit solo players that play rolling kirk and never attack are annoying, though.
>>337839810
Definitely should be a max amount of summoning you could do instead of just spamming more help when you kill them off
you should have only the phantoms you summoned and thats it, they die you lose one, cant summon another
>>337840413
Does the video have any fights against someone not retarded enough to get hit by a fireball that moves at the speed of a slug?

I really wonder how much the designers were giggling to themselves when they came up with this shit
>>337838449
The reasons I think are
1) because it's a popular new game and so there are a lot of new people unfamiliar with how the series works
2) now you get fuck-all for defeating helping anyone beat a boss and you get like a gorillion souls just from helping a host kill enemies and stomp invaders
3) people really want wacky pvp but the blue covenants can be a bit slow so it's faster to just get summoned and wait for the fingers to arrive

>mfw poise-shitters show their true colours as retards who can't learn basic game mechanics and can't do anything besides spam R1 and trade swings, failing to understand something as simple as hyper-armor
>mfw shitters complain about straight sword users show their true colours as people who are unable to read their enemy and simply attack before they do to outrange or out-hyper-armour them
DS3 is my favourite because it's actually very balanced and every build has an easy counter but it's bringing out all the idiots who can't learn
The only build that is legit cancer is great shield+straight sword but that's only an issue if you play at SL120 like an idiot
Sometimes people aren't total assholes and you get cool moments.

It's nice when things like this happen. Although eventually a dark spirit invaded and started attacking people with the dragon's tooth.
>It's a "other Invading phantoms attack you instead of the Host" episode
>>337835665
Speaking of this shit, some faggot invaded me and just ran away into enemeis every time I tried to 1 v 1 him. I was willing to have a good duel with him, no estus, etc. He was a little BITCH. So I summoned two phantoms. one was a noob, the other was really good. I ended up chasing him into dragon breath and he died lol. Unfortunately I got caught in it too. I tried rolling away but ran into a fucking corner by mistake. I didn't die till like 20 seconds later and was laughing my ass off that I died but still cucked that little faggot bitch out of an ember.
>>337844629
I mean how could you attack us after we were running and dancing around you. What an asshole.
>>337844818
Reds are really getting bad about that.
>>337844905
You just denied him the possibility of getting an ember, nothing was lost for him. Whereas you lost an actual ember.

Why would the red be shocked or unhappy?
This edit is retarded.
>>337845263
Ya but I'm not completely shit. It took my five seconds to get summoned in PvP and kill the summoner in a fair duel.

Meanwhile this little shitter I swear was running around for like 20 minutes doing nothing except failing to hit us with weak ass lightning bolts.

>>337846217
Oh, so he does.
Good ol' hyperarmour, he's probably got the wolf ring on too.
People who play dark souls for the pvp and not everything about it AND the pvp are the same type of kids who smurf in csgo.
They just want to play it only if they have a huge advantage on the other person.
>>337846609
I really don't like this new poise system honestly. It seems like it's waaaaay too weapon dependent. I understand a little bit of dependency on that but it seems like the game just determines frames where HYPER armor activates. I say tone down that shit to just super for most attacks and grant a slight passive poise too depending on its value.
>>337846861
I like the PvP for the unexpected, when I ran into giantdad in DaS it was always tedious as shit, because I'd seen it all before.
The same thing applies to 3, but instead of meme builds, it's endless gank squads. Why invade when I know what I'm going to find?
>>337847176
But they're not gank squads. You're the one invading a co-op group, they're not ganging up on your world.
Also you can estus so stop crying. Although I'm surprised how few people are using Undead Hunter Charms now that they actually have a use.
>>337847525
>you can estus
that means fuck all when the host has twice the estus you do and all of his phantoms can heal as well so they'll just rotate out in turns while the rest of them hit you
>>337846052
>>337846132
>>337846217
>>337845985
the standard combo is glitch-flame and iron flesh
>>337846609
he's using a spell called ironflesh that makes you basically immune to stagger and then a sacred flame exploit that 1-shots you no matter what. Best thing to do in this situation is just get close, wait for them to do the animation and then casually stroll away because ironflesh makes you walk like you have over 100% equip load (can't run). That or whip out a bow/crossbow and just pew at him while he slowly walks toward you. Eventually they will stop trying and pull out a weapon and actually try to fight you. Be careful though because they also like to switch back to the exploit mid-fight to take you off guard
the pvp is shit the hit detection is just to bad
>>337847708
>>337847525
Well then see my other point - Undead hunter charms. I've found them mighty useful in invasions so far and I'm sure you can do to.
>tfw invading in Catacombs
Skeletalball best ally
>>337847525
You're delusional if you think that just because you have HALF OF YOUR ESTUS it means that invasions are balanced.
The whole point of being embered (or in human form) is that the tradeoff for being able to summon phantoms to trivialize the game for you is to leave yourself vulnerable to invasions. As it stands there's essentially no downside whatsoever to being embered with two or three phantoms.

Too bad about the retarded arrow limitations. Boy do I love having to go back to Firelink to fill up on arrows because you can barely hold any.
>>337843365
Because a lot of people are really sore losers. I remember in DaS how many people would literally pull their PS3 out of the wall in order to disconnect at a moment's notice. there is literally nothing to gain from it, seeing as you will still have died when you turn it back on.
>>337846118

>>337848393

or put the blessed gem on your shield
>>337844945
Because that's the point. I appreciate goofiness and funny invasions, but don't pretend that that is what people are explicitly looking to do.
>>337848403
you can hold hundreds. Just switch arrow types if you run out of one type. I guess it's more limited for greatbows but that's how they decided to "balance" it. Still plenty of arrows.
>>337837142
Everytime you are "hit" during your i-frames you lose i-frames on subsequent rolls. Fast weapons landing hits will basically make your rolls useless.
Fucking hell.

>>337845836
How? just how does anyone get hit by that? you just roll around them til they use all their FP and if they use blue estus do the same thing over. you then have a useless pyromancer to fight after they run out of FP.
>>337835665
Dam I love it when the host pops one of these with 2 phantoms.
>tfw pulling hordes towards host
>second invader comes in and kills everything
Fucking idiot.
>>337848403
It's not that bad. I had to mule my first 100 to get started, but after that, killing enough passworded phantoms, and selling the excess embers funds my arrow addiction.
>>337848403
This. but then again, if you can't kill a host with 100 arrows then you are doing something wrong. Also your arrows also go straight to your Bottomless Box so you can just go to a bonfire, I believe.
For those of you complaining about gank squads and estus drinking and disconnecting , I have a novel idea
Pontiff duels and fight clubs
No seed, no gank squad (unless you're unlucky), no estus
Only real downside is softban chance but you can fix that with a bit of effort
>>337848885
I'm saying that even when you refill at the bonfire the bottomless box only holds 99 for regular arrows and something retarded like 50 for great arrows.

Is there any way to farm Seeds of Giants?
I started a co-op run with my friend and I think 9/10 of the invaders just spam parries. It's pretty funny just to run at someone though and they hit that L2 for the parry and you just go behind them and backstab them.

Better than people that disconnect the second their summons die and then they have the nerve to send you messages bragging about they won since they disconnected when all you were doing was hiding with a white branch waiting for them to die
>>337848957
I'm tired of honorfags thinking that their shit don't stink. Yáll can have your gay orgy club, but don't shit on people who want to invade people a la DaS and DeS. The best invasions I've had in any games were the ones where you were facing a host and phantoms, but in 3 it's so common random invasions are difficult to get ANY enjoyment out without a lot more effort. There is nothing explicitly wrong with that in and of itself. But as far as I'm concerned DaS3 PVP is almost as bad as BB PvP.
>>337849139

So you want a varied arena (?), pontif duels with occasional gank squads? And no estus spam?
How could your desires be implemented?

Not only are you utter shit, but you really believe that there is some secret honor code to any souls game outside of designated duel areas.
Everyone laugh at this retard who can't even play the game.

whats the glitch?

I help them all the way to the boss and either start clapping or sit down right after going through the fog.
Then when they die I spam the "Sorry" carving
>>337849928
actually you get them for killing invaders
not one every immediate invader kill, but 2-4 will usually earn you a seed
so gank squads are well rewarded
>>337845836
I would just like to point out that dual charms actually work against the rock flesh buff on havel's greatshield. So I'm fairly certain that they will work against iron flesh.

>>337850136
I don't want quick duels, I want the cat-and-mouse style invasions that DaS and DeS had. "Honorable" duels are filled with people who are optimized for PvP. and I can see why people like that, but I find it pretty uninteresting. The real fun is in specialized random invasion builds geared toward the area you are invading. Invading a person going through PVE is a totally different experience. Duels are not the true nature of Souls multiplayer, random invasions to impede the progress of others IS the primary function of invasions. Not a bad fighting game, which duel are.

Alright, admit it. Which of you kiddies are running through levels with phantoms? It's bad enough summoning 3 phantoms for bosses, but just for running through a level?
I don't believe no one here isn't doing it, it's entirely too common unless all of /v/ is going through the entire game unembered.

>>337851423
During my first playthrough I went through almost the enter game unembered, sans the fews times I didn't die after beating bosses. I summon for other characters with different builds because I just want to kill the boss faster. I only summon before the boss though, going through the areas don't take long.
>>337850669
Can't help you there
Want to impede pvers, you can't expect them to not attempt to stop you at all costs
Had you invaded me you'd have had exactly what you wanted aside from possibly winning
Your desires are primarily luck based, I see no particular difference between this game and the two previous near release
Nothing can be done to consistantly give you what you want
>>337835665
>Host thinks I'll die from trash mobs
>Just run through the area dragging the biggest guys I can find towards them
This game is the easiest of the 3 when it comes to just running without killing anybody. The last thing I'm gonna do is stop and collect souls for the host.
>>337851423
I've only summoned like twice for bosses.
I had a friend offer to help me with the game and I summoned him early on and it just made the game a cakewalk, so I stopped summoning.
It's just not fun getting carried like that.

Pvp is the only thing this game has to offer anymore for me. Been stuck for over a week on Prince Lothric, Nameless King and Champion Gundyr. Dozens of tries combined. I'm too shit but I refuse to summon. Been exclusively pvping since and it's more fun than PvE. I wish they'd make some sort of arena fighting game without the insufferable lag and design choices but keeping the core souls gameplay.
>>337851827
Except this game aciveley encourages plyers to summon phantoms, and because it is early in the game's life there are a lot of them. The issue is that there is practicaly no challenge to the person who summons 2-3 phantoms. I had made all manner of invasion builds in all previous games, and only in this game am I constantly met with gankers and cheesers. That happened in the old games, too, but here it is out of control. If you never got to enjoy the way invading was, then I'm sorry, but the way multiplayer is in 3 is a weird mutation of what it was and what it represented.
Invading was also much harder in DaS, so it felt earned.
>>337848037

You guys notice a lot of the squads run around with great swords while a lot of the 1v1 guys use straight swords or estocs
>>337849010
One spawns each time you banish an invader, only one will be under the tree at a time though so be sure to pick it up.
Either be a man and face a finger alone, or be a scrub and set up your own gank squad to farm seeds

>>337851423
first playthrough i didn't summon unless i was struggling, like in that fucking bottleneck in dragon barracks with four dudes trying to rape your asshole.
subsequent playthroughs when i just needed to get through areas to get items for pvp, you best believe i summoned every goddamn phantom i could and ganked every red along the way
>>337837142
Straight Swords have phantom range. Depending on how far you can roll, you'll most likely get hit once more by a straight sword even if you roll away.

I don't get this game
I have no idea where to park twinks at.
I've tried +4/SL80 and it doesn't seem to get much action. Even +10/SL80 was pretty slow compared to +10/SL120.
I made a twink at +2/SL50, seems to work out decently in the swamp. Kind of bored of SL120 when people just run around 1 shotting each other with hornet ring or cheesy 100-0%/100-20% deathcombo weapons like Spiked Mace. I like longer engagements,especially with a friend.
Twin Princes Greatsword is so fun to stun with from across the world while you coordinate with a friend.
>>337848393

How can anybody be stuck on the twin princes? He telegraphs for 10 minutes and the only tricky part is avoiding the barrage of birdshit the younger brother throws up.you do realise the only way to defeat the second stage is by killing the younger brother hanging on his back? Strafe around, get a few hits in, avoid next attack, repeat
>>337852908

>>337853640
try SL20/+2. there's a surprising amount of variety if you're creative and skilled enough to get to whatever you need.

In case if you guys didn't know.
The rolling attack slash of the Astora Greatsword actually count as a trusting attack, so you can buff it with the Leo ring to get 1k3 damage counters on people.

>>337854280
The difference is that the people who are invaded are given tools to deal with griefers
Invaders are not

I had the same trouble with Aldrich in thr first few tries: bad luck. The AI fucked me over. Constantly having 4 attacks active at the same time, getting hit by ine is guaranteed and then it's pretty much over. Tried summoning Orbeck but he dies pretty much immediately, can't take aggro away from him.
I'm pretty new at souls game I played ds 1 a bit I only needed to gedt Notos soul, but stopped at the tomb of giants and I played bloodborne blind once.
Ds3 is the first time I actually participated in PvP, but I was suprised at how much I got invaded in this game.
Sometimes I got invaded while I was fighting an invade and after killing those 2 invaders I got invaded by another invader.
How does this happen I never summon phantoms or anything.
I never even met an invader when I was playing bloodborne or ds1.
Best weapons to twink with?
>>337854478
>its ANOTHER invasion/PvP covenant
>>337851423
I only embered for bosses that killed me one or two times. Then I'd go through the next area and if I died, I wouldn't ember up.
Only boss I summoned for was Hawthorne for Oceiros because I thought this was like DaS2 where I'd need to summon him and have him survive the fight to complete his quest. I only saw his sign because I was still embered from the Dancer Fight

>>337854364
Love how estocs/straight swords have the length of ultra greatswords except 5x faster and can actually punish rolls.
So many imbalance issues and technical issues with Dark Souls 3. It's obvious they skipped balancing and optimization. I bet they're going pull a scholar "fixed up" edition and charge full price.

Honestly, I'd be fine with the old gravelording. That is, if they fix perma-gravelording and don't limit it to NG+, and make it a bit more meaningful. Maybe make it so it'll give priority to worlds with phantoms

you're doing it wrong.
after my first game, I made a second file and there were a fuckton of purple signs at the first bonfire on the highwall. the people usually had names like "A Friend" and then had the white phantom ring on to trick dumb noobies who summoned them. I summoned one of them for giggles and he waved at me. I immediately backstabbed him and he pulled out the spear from Nameless King and kicked my shit in.

>>337835665
Besides Sunbros, what is the most active covenant to get summoned in? I wanted to be a blue but I heard they are dead. At the moment I'm leaning towards aldritch faithful as I hear it's pretty active.
>Invade at Cathedral
>Blue phantom so-and-so has died
>Immediately get a pale forked tongue just for showing up
>>337854691
Demon GA is great with tsorigs ring, it's doable at sl 20 with 23 str plus stat rings
>>337855860
Aldrich Faithful at Sl40-60 with +6 weapon was very active for me. I'd have to unequip the covenant item if I wanted to do something else.
>>337855526
People made a discovery about Darkmoon / Blue Sentinel summoning. Apparently From being the coding masters that they are made it so "new" accounts are prioritized for being summoned. In other words, your place in the queue is determined by how old your account ( Steam / PS4 / Xbox One ) is. There is a Family Share workaround on Steam that you can't do on the other platforms that works, people get summoned non-stop.
>>337855647
He is, but like with Lothric it often happens that the magic orbs and soul spear are active at the same time. Dodging is RNG for at that point and one of the attacks will get me cause I'm a shitter. To give an example: Dragonslayer Armor took me ten tries before I beat him.
>>337856041
Tell me more
or at least where I can get a straight answer on what it is you're speaking of
>>337835923
That'd be literally retarded. I'm invading someone's game and attempting to halt their progress and fucking their shit up. Each side has an unfair advantage, I get the advantage of popping up and forcing you to retake an ember, and summonfags get the advantage of having backup to balance out the invasion.
>>337855998
I'm Sl 102 with a +10 wep but meh might as well give it a try. It was probably a bad idea to wait until right before the final boss to join a covenant but too late to change that now.
>INVADING NEEDS TO BE EQUAL THE HOST SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SUMMON AS MANY PHANTOM AS HE WANTS
Maybe you shouldn't invade MY world then, Rosaria's Cucks. Go join a fight club or lay down a red summon sign if you want equal fights.

Man, I just want the co-operation and not shitter bodyguard duty.
If I'm summoned, then I co-op and defend accordingly. If I'm summoned DURING an invasion, I'm watching them get the shit kicked out of them.
>>337856626

>>337853797
Wow. Thanks for the quick response.
>>337856626
Both the thingw you're replying to and complaining about are dumb. Invasions were made to rebalance the game if you summon help. Introduce a human element to help out the AI. Demon's Souls was the only game that got it right. Blue phantoms and especially seeds are stupid because they introduce another element against the invader. Which is dumb because this defeats the entire purpose of invasions in the first place. The moment counteracting invasions started was the moment invasions should have been taken out completely. They clearly don't fit the paradigm anymore.
>>337835665
Why do people get mad when i attack them when start to do buff ups the moment they get into the ring.
Im not goku. Im not going to let you power up. Why would I. This is a duel sure but if you wana buff up take the risks of being punished
