>Users discover that Poise is broken

This alone has kind of put me off the game. It makes the whole thing seem messy, with this vestigial stat that does nothing and items focused on it that are now pointless.
I'm not debating whether Poise should be in, but either Poise should be in or the items that rely on it to be useful shouldn't be. It's clear they made a decision during development to disable Poise, probably for PvP balance, but leaving it as-is and just basically sweeping the issue under the rug is a shitty tactic.
The game has quite a number of unfinished features and areas. Wouldn't surprise me if they pulled a SofFS with it, honestly.

i've basically accepted that big games that are released now are only complete after one or two expansions.
i played bloodborne right around when TOH came out and it was a flawless experience for me and I sort of wished I waited on dark souls 3.

hyperarmor is a much better mechanic than poise. you casuals really need to get over yourselves
>>339121502
that wasn't his argument, faglord
>>339121502
then make the wolf ring boost hyperarmor instead and make armor do something maybe just decent defense. nobody in this thread said poise had to comeback just that there shouldnt be dead items referencing a non existant stat in game.
>>339121502
I don't like hyperarmor.
Poise backstabs were certainly a bad thing, but I'm a PVE guy, and have died more to dogs than any boss in DS3. DeS was like this, too, only there you only met dogs in two(?) instances and they DIDN'T FUCKING TELEPORT.
poise was fine is ds1 dex fags go home. i am not staying in this thread to read any shitposts in response to my serious post here.

Heavy weapons usually have at least one comparitively fast attack, often from a roll. Failing that you can just carry around a crossbow or throwing knives, or offhand a smaller weapon to knock them over. Dogs have always been cunts in these games.
>>339121502
Did you read my post at all? I'm not arguing for Poise's inclusion, I'm saying that the half-assed way they've handled its removal is shitty.
Either they need to enable the feature or remove items that use the stat. Or, you know, explain how it "works differently."
>>339120647
It just does something different you fucking retard. it effects how many iframes you retain after rolling away after an attack
>>339122497
Wasn't this proven wrong
>>339122497
From what I've read, tests have shown that high Poise and no Poise makes no difference on dodge mechanics.
The early thought was that it had some impact on Hyper Armor but this was proven false.

pretty sure whatever you read is wrong
>>339120647
Some interesting poise mechanic tests in 3 with dev tools and something unsuspected... the only emote that boosts it, which shows that it was actually a thought at one point

>Perseverance stacked with poise turned on making successful attacks bounce off as if they've been blocked
Yeah thank god they decided against that.
