Why did Miyazaki remove poison, durability and pitch black areas?
what
>>337990635
I think it's time for bed anon
>>337990880
I just woke up
>poison
He didn't
>durability
Because it was fucking stupid.
>pitch black
Because it was fucking stupid.
>>337991095
Durability is still in the game, it just has no reason to exist because it literally doesn't nothing.
>>337990635
Catering to the lowest denominator ofc

OP meant that there aren't any surfaces that break your shit if you step in them like there were in Dark Souls 2.
There's literally literally only one are where you need the torchh and it's the room in irithyll after th echurch
>poison
Phoneposter?
>>337992160
What?
>>337992160
Poise is a real word.
>>337992131
I didn't need the torch at all, the only place it was even remotely useful was around the graveyard area of Cathedral of the Deep with the maggot fuckers because it would stun them.
>>337992346
>>337992831
Predictive text.
If he was using a keyboard he wouldn't have typed out poison when he obviously meant poise. Or he's just fucking retarded.
>>337993067
No I meant poison. Have you played the game?
>>337993157
Have you? There's 3 poison swamps in the game.
>>337993157
>>337993317
There's a fucking staff that shoots poison clouds too.
>>337993498
And a gem. He's an idiot.
Please tell me there is a shortcut to quickly reach these two faggots.
I have literally spent 1 and half hour trying to beat it and I just can't anymore. I'm wasting too much time and estus on the bridge that leads to them.
>>337993661
Go to the right right before you enter the church, there's an elevator,
>>337993661
At the end of the bridge there's an elevator that takes you to the Dragonslayer Armour bonfire.
>removed the ability to lower spell requirements
>can only respec 5 times
>rehashes areas from the first game and cant even make up its own unique areas
>less than half of the bosses that dark souls 2 has
>no PvE covenant
>PvP covenants dont even work
I'll just stick to dark souls 2/Bloodborne because those are both clearly better games than 3
>>337993661
There's an elevator that leads right to them close to the Dragonslayer Armor bonfire. It's on the right facing the boss door area.
>>337993661
Look to the right, retard
>>337993317
>>337993498
>>337993579
I wasn't being literal. Poison was nerfed so hard that they should have just removed it. Fuck you people really do have autism.
>>337993873
>>can only respec 5 times
Why do you need to respec MORE than 5 times? Fucking D2 lets you respec 3 or 4 and the game's stats and abilities are WAY more complex and damning if you fuck up.
I can't believe I'm using this unironically but git fucking gud you whiny bitch.
>>337993784
>>337993823
>>337993879
That elevator always leads down when I take it from the Dragonslayer Bonfire. I wouldn't be asking if it was working normally.
>>337993943
Then say "Why did Miyazaki 'nerf' poison?" not 'remove', they are not nearly the same thing you stupid cunt.
>>337994106
Ther's another one, it works the same way as the one in Undead Settlement, activate it and jump off straight away.
>>337994106
Seigward please...get off the elevator as you activate it and another elevator platform will come down.
>>337993943
Toxin is still in too, even though it's such a stupidly rare status effect you might never see it. If you go out of your way to get it yourself it's only as strong as poison damage from the previous games. The cloud is too small to get players unless they're rolling straight into a corner and against enemies it's always easier to just swing your sword than take up 3 slots with toxin breath and hidden body.
>>337994252
And to make it easier for yourself, send it back down when you get to the top.
>a person in rags takes just as much damage as a person in full havels
>a person with an astora straight sword will do just as much, if not more, damage than someone with a fume ultra greatsword
What happened?
So is Anri's Straight Sword like the Blueblood sword?
>>337994548
It's such a damn shame that weapon balancing and PvP is so fucked. Even just poise returning would fix things a bit and make being an UGS user a bit easier.
>>337994548
The only explanation is that they wanted to balance the game so no more abusing OP builds. Everyone takes the same damage, everyone rolls the same, everyone hits the same.
>>337994926
Except it's not the same, lighter gear wins nearly every single time and they're OP as fuck. Try again.
>>337994926
Well that doesn't make any sense, because now most builds will include the same exact pieces of gear, because diverging from the standard set will result in crippling aftereffects.
Like seriously, why would I EVER gimp my roll with a heavier armor set when a regular, lighter set gets the job done just as well?
>>337994084
you never want to try a new build out? i'm on NG+6 just because i like to change my build.
>>337994926
Then they should have just removed armor weight and vitality all together or never included heavy armor all together.
>>337995118
I just make a new character if I want to try a new build out, not like it's very hard.
>poise is basically confirmed to affect roll frame recovery
Yes, of course, that's what full havels should help with, makes sense.
>>337992831
Not a normal parlance, it's an old archaic word memed back to life by souls.
So it's not going to show up in most common usage dictionaries like a phone's predicative spelling.
>>337990635
>no pitch black area
Im guessing you never been to the untended graves
>>337994706
Yes but even more OP.
Pump Luck to 40 and watch you damage go through the roof.
>>337995274
>it's an old archaic word memed back to life by souls
Not really, you ever live with old people or work in retail, you'll see Poise a lot if you catch my drift.
>>337995378
I'm guessing you're a fucking retard.
>>337995378
I wouldn't call that "pitch black", the shrine's pretty dark in places but by that point you already know the layout of the shrine and there's no enemies there.
>>337995274
So being poised for an attack, or poised for a promotion, are both archaic terms? I'm sure you're a canny, gruntled fellow in real life, but you're coming across as petulant and rather like a mooncalf.
>>337990635
>and pitch black areas?
This bothered me greatly. DaS3 finally has the good lighting that they stripped out of 2, but there are only two dark areas in the entire fucking game: the low area near the church bonfire in Irithyll, and a single room in the Grand Archives.
What an absolute waste of potential.
>>337990635
>poison
gay
>durability
hella gay
>pitch black areas
probably consoles
>>337995647
>DaS3 finally has the good lighting that they stripped out of 2
2 had great lighting, though. DaS3's torches don't even throw shadows on the walls and floor.
>>337995952
>2 had great lighting, though.
>>337995113
Here's the thing, Dark Souls is first and foremost a single player game you are supposed to experience alone not reading your patreon overlords guides.
And in that context it makes sense, if you play normally chances are small that you accientally end up completely OP or chese the game with an upgraded black halberd. It's a way to streamline the experience.
I really don't get why people are so obsessed with Souls PvP, it's poorly designed and filled with memesters. The multiplayer component overall is good but you meme spewing faggots "dueling" for 100+ hours are pathetic.
>>337996026
My man, I hate DaS2 as much as anybody but its lighting was on point.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVCABdLkjbc
Look at those fucking shadows, son.
>>337995274
This is what happens when kids play video games instead of reading books
>>337993661
Summon you faggot
>>337996245
I can only assume that you never saw what was shown of DaS2 before the downgrade.
>>337995952
DaS2 only looks good with a torch up.
>>337995952
>probably consoles
He removed pitch black areas, which were present in DaS 1 and Bloodborne, both console games because of consoles?
>>337995616
it's not necessarily archaic, but it's really not used in day to day life at all anymore. most people would probably be able to figure out what the word means in context like that but i guarantee you'd stump some people if you just ask them to define "poise". also they were talking about the word with respect to predictive text generation on a phone, so you're generally going to get less uncommon words like that in software designed for informal shit like texting/messaging
>>337996245
Except DS2's entire lighting system was changed late in development to the point where their level design no longer even makes sense (tons of useless torches in areas).
>>337996351
>You can't get the mask under the abyss watcher helm without hit's stupid fucking hate
fuck you from
>>337996362
Better than DaS3, but it was obviously not legit final gameplay footage. It never is.
>>337996376
DaS2 is only worth playing with a torch up.
>>337992943
It also removes the maggots that build bleed constantly if you take your torch out.
>>337993067
Nope, it's definitely a real, common word. Phoneposter here, just typed in poise and it didn't change it to poison.
>>337990635
Not to mention why did he make magic/faith shit, give enemies infinite stamina/poise... ect ect. I still fucking love this game but I FUCKING HATE IT GOD.
>>337993943
>I wasn't being literal. Poison was nerfed so hard that they should have just removed it. Fuck you people really do have autism.
then why not say that when you started the thread instead of sounding like a misinformed drongo
>>337996535
after I found this out I turned my brightness down to 2 just so I would have other reasons to uses the torch buying it just for that one zone seemed odd too me.
Why is DS3 music so generic?

>>337996524
The difference is that in proto-DaS2 there were very dark areas where you'd need a torch to see at all, and in final DaS2 you never had any reason to bother using a torch at all.
DaS3's lighting again gave it dark areas where a torch brightens them significantly, but it made almost no use of them throughout the game.
>>337993943
>Why did Miyazaki remove poison?
>YOU PEOPLE THOUGHT I MEANT REMOVE SHEESH AUTISM
Holy shit you are the absolute definition of aspergers.
>>337996430
What pitch black areas were there in DaS1 and Bloodborne aside from the abyss and the hole the brain falls into?
>>337993943
You're the one with autism here fag
I'm super confused why durability is even still in the game because you have to go out of your way to break a weapon. I once co-oped in the Grand Archives for like five hours straight, without resting at a bonfire, and the weapon I used the entire time only got down to half durability.
Even Acid Surge is fucking useless, it takes like seven casts to break anything and it's so hard to hit anyone with it, only good for AFK players (or doing some ebin troll video where you get three of your butt-buddies to grief invaders).
There's just a lot of things that seem like, I don't know, the numbers on them seem way off. Stuff like some weapon's weapon arts doing less damage than a normal R1, Warmth healing for fuck-all, multiple weapons having >1500 damage combos that can't be rolled out of, etc.
>>337996156
I understand that, but normally, or at least in the older games, the game rewarded you for going for a specific playstyle.
For example, you could get a Black Knight Greatsword in DaS1, allocate your points where you could properly wield it, and you would instantly see the payoff. Your hits are hard, and your range is great.
Now in Dark Souls 3, you can go 24 strength and get enough stats to wield the Curved Greatsword. But it would do just SLIGHTLY more damage than a Dark Sword, while being a far slower weapon that really ate at your stamina. It doesn't seem fair to those that prefer a specific playstyle, when the main game caters so so much to users that prefer standard longswords and shields.
To all you faggots complaining about the game not being pitch black enough adjust your fucking Brithgness settings properly. It's not a problem with the lightning but the general brightness by default of the game.
Go to Irithyll Dungeon and lower it to the point you don't see the first cells walls without a torch.
>>337996914
Pretty sure you are the one with autism.
>>337996664
>listening to the First Hunter for the first time
Don't even have Bloodborne, but that OST, man. To be fair, I don't know of many games that have that kind of orchestration. They put people that worked on film soundtracks for that game.
>>337993943
I am having serious difficulty comprehending how retarded you are right now.
>>337997169
Stop posting in my thread.
>>337997026
How the fuck are we suppose to know you meant they nerfed poison when you said removed. Removed has a definition and it has no relationship to the word nerf. There was no way for people to know you meant nerf not removed you dumb motherfucker. You made a mistake and instead of saying my bad you are trying to blame other people like a immature little shit. This is an anonymous image board who cares if you make a typo error but don't be a faggot about it.
>>337993943
Dude you're in the fucking home of mildly sociopathic autism, haven't you noticed half of /v/ is /pol/, hates video games(enjoys vn/lets plays for desperately needed social contact ect ect) but loves complaining about them.
>>337996930
The Moonlight Greatsword can break pretty easily if you're not careful and keep spamming the fully charged heavy attack.
>>337997286
I knew exactly what he fucking said. You're just a moron, If you've ever used poison/toxic against and enemy you'd know exactly what he's talking about, plus the enemies don't even cause that much damage with their poison/toxic buildups.
>>337997286
>You made a mistake
No I didn't
I miss Batfog, guys
So, how do I kill the Super Prince of Lothric Bros.?
>>337994106
Seigward shouldn't you be keeping a promise?
>>337997947
Hit him until it dies
>>337997947
Mash R1 in the first phase.
Mash Circle if he even twitches in the 2nd phase, and then get in a hit every so often. Rinse repeat until dead.
>>337997947
Hug his arse.
>>337997947
Summon three sunbros and hide in a corner.
>>337998083
>tfw you will never Lothric's arse
Guys, guys.
Let's talk poise.
Where the fuck is it.
>>337998039
>Mash Circle if he even twitches in the 2nd phase
Usually that would be sound advice but not really in this case, one of his attacks has a massive delay and if you dodge too early he will punish the shit out of you.
>>337998484
It affects iframe recovery. When you take damage the amount of iframes you get when rolling decreases and poise just dictates how fast that value recovers.
That's the current theory anyway.
>>337998484
Nowhere important
>>337998484
Dead or turned off, not entirely sure.
Lots of weapons and weapon skills basically make it useless anyways.
>>337998484
as far as I can tell the black knight weapons can still break poise and stun but thats about it
>>337999546
Didn't they release a statement saying that Poise only comes into effect when things like the Perseverence and Stomp weapon arts are used?
>>337999805
Really? Shit, I just thought they fucked up and wouldn't admit it. If this is true, I gotta max my caestus.
>>337995195
well have fun finding the items you want to use and getting up to 80/100/120 every time you change your mind i guess.
>>337995195
I feel that
I want to try and revive the Elspeth Tirel build I ran through to NG4+ in DaS1 but all the most appropriate items for it in 3 are late game and I just can't be fucked with going through the whole game just to find out if a build works in NG+
