So the slanty eyed nips have new patch notes for the upcoming patch on Friday. They still haven't learned to type proper patch notes, but they have learned that it pisses us off and they were kind enough to mock us for wanting patch notes that actually explain what the fuck the patch does.

Nice word vomit.
How about an actual link?
>>340240809
Keep in mind that these slants even taunt us for wanting better notes:
>I'm sorry, I won't be able to offer any more precisions to the changes, I already did my best. And you would be disappointed if you couldn't look for it yourselves, wouldn't you ;) ?
>I'm sorry, I won't be able to offer any more precisions to the changes, I already did my best. And you would be disappointed if you couldn't look for it yourselves, wouldn't you ;) ?
>I'm sorry, I won't be able to offer any more precisions to the changes, I already did my best. And you would be disappointed if you couldn't look for it yourselves, wouldn't you ;) ?
They're completely aware they are lazy as fuck and mock us by saying we want to dig through code and grind through all the items and stats to try and find whatever the fuck they changed.
Two nukes wasn't enough.

This is good. Now we can stop having people spam weapon spells while offhanding a simple caestus

I thought that was a feature.

I hope it's true. I can't stand being hit 3 meters away by this shitty spam
>>340241674
yeah and i thought poise not doing shit wasnt a feature but here we are
>>340241493
Poise works as intended, you fucking moron.
Old Poise is dead.
>>340242014

what's new poise
serious question, i havent seen it proven that it does much of anything
>>340240809
>Adjusted the attack power and skills of fist and claw weapons.
I hope that means buffed.
can you still get softbanned from a hacker giving you souls or lower your levels?
>>340242014
lol it's literally shown that poise is turned off in several videos
faggot
>>340242228
its the hyper armour buzzword people keep spouting, you just don't understand!
>>340242596
Hyper armor is not poise. You have to activate hyper armor and how much poise you have does not affect hyper armor at all.
>>340242228
it's basically a reversal system where poise determines how many iframes you get
>>340242690
Which was proven to be untrue.
>>340242690

THEY WERENT EVEN OP, FUCK
IM TIRED OF BIG WEAPONS, LET ME HAVE MY FUNBLADES
>>340242228
I think it has something to do with rolling out of attacks. Or something else completely different. Poise is the pendant of DS3.
>>340240930
>>340240779
oh yeah. youre not racist at all

He's just some low level Bamco loser. You're a fucking moron.
did they ever nerf straightswords?
>>340242014
What is the intended way then?
The tooltip ingame says something along the lines of "the ability to take hits without breaking form" and that is the old poise from DaS1
Pray tell, what is the intended way?
>>340240809
I've never seen anyone use voice chat. How do you do it?

i really dont give a shit about poise being gone as much as i care about being stunlocked in pvp which is an incredibly annoying side effect of it not being a thing anymore
>>340244136
He literally doesn't even meet Fromsoft devs face to face. He was given shitty notes and has done all he can do to make them less shitty.
Blame Fromsoft, not the Community Manager. You fucking racist shitstain.

>>340244349

Get the fuck out.

And Fromsoft is full is slanty eyed nips who can't patch or make a non-shit game so either way the point still stands. Go back to your reddit safespace.

Adjusted can mean buff or nerf. The nukes clearly fucked up their lineage so they can't just directly tell us which one it is.
>>340240809
>>Fixed issue where skills could be performed even when a certain amount of FP was not available.
Wait, I thought that was intended. When you run out of FP you can still use non-magical skills at the expense of more stamina.
Was this a bug all along?
>Fixed using skills when FP isn't available
Does this mean that shit like Spin Bash or Warcry cannot be used if you don't have FP? Because that's fucking bullshit.
>>340244602
>toggle away
>from estoc r1 stunlocks
what?
>>340244701
Oh shit I hope not...
I mean to fix that you just enchant your offhand with simple, but its still annoying.
>>340244639
I fucking hope not.
Also I sincerely hope this doesn't mean that you can't use a Simple weapon for weapon skill attack spam. Lothric Holy Blade laser beam shooting was so much fun.
>>340244701
I'd be more pissed about not being able to dash in farron keep with a dagger
>>340244701
>not being able to use skills I don't have the FP for is bullshit
Right.
>>340245070
No, that would make certain weapons fucking worthless or make STR builds have to start using ashen estus just so they can swing their blade harder.
>>340245031
Oh god oh fuck no. Ever since I figured out that shit I've just bum rushed those horrible areas.
>>340240809
And Darkmoon is still useless.
Just add the fucking blue orb, niggers.
>>340245070
You have weapons like Greatsword of Judgment which only have 480 AR when speccing 40/40 and the only way to increase its damage output is to use a weapon art skill which only increases it to about ~450 and for only 13 seconds. You have to spam the weapon art to keep the buff active and even then it still does less damage than just about every other greatsword in the game.
Some weapons may as well just be deleted now.
>>340244701
I think they're actually fixing the thing where you could use skills at their maximum power even though you didn't have enough FP to use them in the first place.
Sunlight Straight Sword is one of the weapons that I can immediately recall that does this. As long as you have at least 1 FP available, you can use the SSS' WA and receive the full benefits even though it costs much more than 1 FP to utilize it.
>>340245281
Please be excited for the DLC. :^)
>>340244701
I assume what it means is that you can't just use 1 FP to cast skills anymore, you'll just do the weaker 0 FP variant if you don't have the right amount.
>>340241493
>Somehow we will remove poise even harder than before
Oh phew! There it is.
>>340244452
>Proven wrong
>Moves the goalpost and keep whining
You look like an idiot now. Not that the racist diatribes weren't doing a good job of making you look that way already.
>>340244409
I've been here longer than you. It's hardly "weeb" to be a bigot.
so what builds are worth doing now? i did regular strength 2h build, sorc build, estoc dex shitter build, hollow twinblade bleed build. What else is there? Are pyromancys or miracles worth it
>>340241674
oh, so now the farron woods is shit to slog through again. fuckin great.
I hate how this game is right now.
I fucking love these games, but there's just no goddamn reason to use ugs or spells right now. until they patch it shit is fucked.
fuck.
>>340245617
Iron Flesh is a lot of fun, and the lava fire orb is supposed to be good. I haven't tried miracles.
>>340245474
>added 3 meter radius shockwaves to every NPC attack
>shockwaves activate .5 seconds before and after enemy attack completes (becomes parry-able)
>shockwaves deal no damage but stun you for 3 seconds
>>340245617
>Miracles
Not really, though Lightning is quite good. Lightning Stake is situational but beastly.
Pyromancy is insanely good. Chaos Bed Vestiges is basically just throwing suns at your opponents and Chaos weapons kick ass.
>>340245635
You can still spam the dagger art retard, you just won't have any iframe doing so because your FP won't regenerate enough to do the full effect.
>>340245475
You proved nothing wrong. Slants are directly responsible for the notes being shit. If you're butthurt about it then go back to rddit
>No mention of Darkmoon/Blue sents at all
I ain't fucking grinding those ears you bitch, I got 2 in an hour with full farming gear and just left the area in disgust.
>>340245475
Never fucking post here again. Seriously go to fucking reddit and stay there. You'll fit right in, Getting offended about shit that's not even racist. Go fuck yourself.

They did kinda make it better, but I feel like it's not enough. Having to wait 10-20 minutes just for a summon that might not even be successful is tedious as fuck.
>>340241674

See you all when the DLC comes out I guess. Maybe the game will finally be fixed by then.
>>340240809
>Fixed issue where skills could be performed even when a certain amount of FP was not available.
Fuck
Twin Princes Greatsword pvp was the only thing I still found fun in this game, and its completely dependent on a simple offhand. I'm not giving up 4 fights worth of regular estus for two fights worth of blue estus.
So when's the DLC?
>>340247740
Fall and early 2017
>>340240809
I just want the Abyss Watchers to be buffed
>>340244504
I wanna do a caestus run too. How did you do it? Got any advice?
I was initially doing a pure sorcerer before I found the casetus and now I wanna try that myself. Unfortunately I hear it's fucking shit and barely worth it even in PvE.
I think it'd be fun to try out, at least.
I'm debating whether to continue with the new character I created for that purpose or shoving gems onto it so it uses intelligence scaling instead for my mage
>>340248285
>any advice
Get the caestus
Punch the fuck out of everything
Keep a second caestus offhand for enemies you need to parry
Caestus stunlocks anything smaller than a black knight, and is quick enough to chip away at anything bigger. Wear both Pontiff rings and you're golden.
I'm not sure if it's more worthwhile to use a Heavy or a Refined Caestus.
>>340242228
All you need to know is that new poise is fucking garbo
>>340242228
It doesn't do anything, no matter what people tell you.
There is a YouTube video where someone edits an .ini file I think to change poise from being set to off (=0) to on (=1). After turning it on it works as normal, there are even slight flinch animations when hit by an attack that doesn't break poise.
>>340240779
>Fixed a Skill being changed based on a right hand weapon when equipping White Hair Talisman on the left hand while holding the Sacred Flame with both hands
It's about damn time. RIP insta-kill
>>340248898
I feel like poise only works when you use specific skills like Perseverance. Otherwise it does jack all.
>>340240809
>Fixed issue where skills could be performed even when a certain amount of FP was not available.
Oh fug
>>340249060
No more sliding through the swamp with a dagger.

Goodnight sweet princes
>>340249123
That sucks, made Farron Keep so much easier to deal with. Oh well.
>>340249281
Now everyone will have a reason to carry at least one Ash flask.
>>340242674
yeah i agree with you, i was being sarcastic. without reading the rest of this thread i can almost guarantee someone has said it.
>>340240809
Wait, so no more zapping through the swamp with Dagger art? Fuck
>>340249507
Apparently Quickstep was pretty broken in PvP or something. But if they're going to do that they can at least put the iron chain back into the game to make the swamp tolerable
>>340249507
Fuck that will suck dick big-time.
Then again I never had any problems with using it even without FP.
>>340249507
is there a vid or webm of this? I've literally never heard of that until right now
>>340249728
If you've never bothered to watch videos of the game being played before this point, why would you now?
>>340249728
Vaatividya recommended it.
you guys still play this game?
ever since people started healing when they began to lose 1v1s and ganksquads made there way from farron to pontiff's fightclub i kinda dropped it.
really no point in going ng+ since the game is so linear every run feels exactly the same.
now that i think about it,i never really liked it in the first place desu.
>>340249932
Nobody cares, go away.

>>340249676
you can use it without FP, you just dont get any i-frames.
>>340250014
>I'm curious to see how cheesy it'd be
Can't be too curious if you're waiting for us to spoonfeed you.
>>340250014
It's not cheesy, it's just a handy little trick to move a tiny bit faster through the mucky muck at the cost of your FP bar.
The only thing is you could still do it without FP.
>>340240809
>>Increased the number of arrows/bolts that can be possessed.

>>340240779
....I thought these patch notes were written by a community manager or something like that, and not From themselves. Was I wrong?

How did it take them so long to fix this? It was irritating as fuck 2Hing a weapon and not seeing your proper AR, especially if you only met the 2H requirements.

I don't get why duelfaggots are so adamant against estus, yet let my reckless blessed memery slide. We could have a fun, AGGRESSIVE match where we constantly trade and heal, or play like total pussies and win via attrition and throwing daggers.

fuck off
>>340252358
This. When you're cancer, you're cancer. Besides, removing the option to chug makes people play differently. It's a lot more interesting and organized than seeing two retards slap each other before drowning themselves in Sunny D before doing it all again
cant wait for the buff.
cool i guess
dlc when
>>340252358
>sips are somehow inherently bad
Picture this.
We can't drink estus. We play footsies for 2 minutes, before one of us finally lands a hit. We hit the other guy two times, then go back to playing footsies because we won that trade, and got closer to our win condition, murder.
Or, we can drink estus. I smash you twice, and instead of rolling away I roll at you recklessly to punish your estus and possibly clench a kill. However, you punish my greed and lack of stamina and I end up taking damage. Now both of us are hurt and we have options to be aggressive, heal, etcetera. Its way more fucking interesting than any stupid no-estus fight.
>>340252184
the host will win every battle of attrition,ALWAYS.
host will have at least 2x you estus and will probably have some phantom off to the side shooting arrows at you or trying to backstab to prevent you from chugging.
pvp is dead and you killed it.
pve was never alive in the first place
>>340252775
Personally I think estus should be allowed for this reason too. No estus just encourages shit like poking or spamming projectiles to lower HP little by little.
The real problem is running away and hoping the host gets mauled by monsters, or just standing next to the biggest enemy around and daring the host to fight 2v1
Am I a terrible person for thinking DS2 + DLC was better than DS3?

>>340240779
dont be racist, man
>>340252960
DS2 was always shit and it being a dead game proves that.
>>340252775
You can make hypothetical scenarios for both sides.
Most people don't like long, drawn out estus duels. Especially if people just want to fight as many people as possible or farm covenant items.

The DLC was superb, so there's that.
Oh and power stance
>>340253121
>most people don't like long, drawn out duels
That's me, and that's why I'm fucking complaining. Without estus, everyone plays like a pussy in duels. You spend MINUTES rolling around, because you can't afford to lose health.
With estus, people grow ballsy and actually fucking fight. Its why gank squads will chase an invader into a monster den, its because they can AFFORD to be ballsy.
I want people hunting each other down, not strafing in circles while staring each other down.
http://webmshare.com/play/Wn5Wn
>>340253337
Dark 2's DLC is really overrated. I think people rate it so highly simply because the base game was so bad, so the average DLC looks stellar in comparison.

This, I never got the DS2 dlc is good meme.
Some of the worst bosses/areas in the franchise. Plus still has the core ds2 problems like shit movement
>>340253429
Fume knight, ser allone and burnt ivory king are some of the best boss fights in the series
Oh, and the music is the best in the series hands down
Dark Souls needs some kind of fucking lobby or match making or something. Want to fight with no heals? There should be an item that lets you get summoned into worlds where no one can heal.
Boom, problem fixed. Everyone is happy.
Of course, I'm expecting this will annoy people because when they say "people shouldn't use estus" what they REALLY mean is "other people shouldn't use estus"
It's either that or spend a small fortune using undead hunter charms, really.
>>340250810
Oh no boi. He meant duels too. Fullblown havelfags with yohms greatshield and memestoc running away to get a sippy. Ive ripped a controller in half last week. If you see one, just bw crystal back to home. They usually disconnect when theyre out of estus...
>>340253369
Yeah no. Without Estus if you keep running like a little bitch I swap to a weapon with a fast running attack and kill you. If you pull any parrying item out I'll be slightly more patient to bait your parry first.
In dark souls 2, sipping was slow and punishable and the fights weren't drawn out. You faggots with your theory craft on why we should be able to instaheal instachug are clearly terrible at the game and should stop speaking on the matter.
>>340253541
Ivory King is good, but only because of the fight scenario.
Fume Knight and Alonne are average. People overhype them, again, because all the bosses in the base game sucked so much. I mean, Bloodborne's first boss is better than any Dark 2 boss. Dark 3's first boss is better than any Dark 2 boss. Dark 2 sucked.
>>340253369
People play defensively regardless. Estus just gives those defensive players more means to drag on duels further.
Invade if you want to hunt people down.
>>340253548
If you stay at the meta level, you'll run out of things to spend souls on. I bought out all 600 stock of undead hunter charms and I still have over 1.5m souls. I agree with your post though. I'd rather have an item that lets darkmoon invade other players. Like some kind of eye orb that targets darkwraiths specifically or something though.

>>340253369
>With estus, people grow ballsy and actually fucking fight.
except they don't, they do the same shit they did before (roll around and play footsie forever just to go for one big hit that gets whiffed and roll back out). Only now whenever you finally get a good punish on them for turtling they just roll right out and heal up again, making the duel even longer than before.
I don't know what kind of braindead, skill-less fucks you've been playing against, but NO ONE who's played ANY souls game will just mindlessly spam attacks without putting up a proper defense, unless they're using a cheese/one shot build. Adding Estus into the mix just makes the "long drawn out footie matches" even fucking longer.

That explains it.
Fucking slopes from Bamco have the worst customer support ever. These are the same nips telling people that it was THEIR fault that hackers were invading and hitting them with item-corrupting weapons.

Anything stronger than a straight sword will continue to be nerfed until straight swords are all that remain.

So... did they making sword and katana R1s not outrange spears now?
Give it to me straight /v/. I'm a pvp monster, DS1 was literally perfect and one of my favorite games ever, everything about it was perfect.
DS2 was disappointing when they decided to appeal to the pve cucks and added all these retarded invading restrictions like no permanent red eye orb, soul memory, etc.
Don't even get me started on shitborne, dropped it at blood starved beast.
Naturally I lost interest in the series and haven't touched DS3, so is DS3 worth buying? The only reason I bother buying these games is for the online, so if they also fucked up the pvp here then I guess I'll just pirate it and make peace with the fact the souls series is dead from a competitive point of view. (nothing wrong with that, I'm not implying these games should be competitive focused or an esport of some kind, it's just what I enjoyed from them the most personally).
All the webms I see make the game look like some cuckfest where invading just means you'll face 3vs1 every time, is this true? have patches fixed it?

I not just ask the players what needs to be fixed and what doesnt. Why From gotta be so stupid about fixing their games
>>340254934
If you dont like facing a 3v1... you're not a """""pvp beast"""""
Buy it and git gud
>>340254934
Invasions prioritize worlds with summons and host can run around and re-summon whatever you manage to kill. Thus, many people just sit around a bonfire with two white phantoms waiting for you, and you'll meet those bonfire squads far more often than lone hosts just playing the game.
>>340240809
>Fixed issue where skills could be performed even when a certain amount of FP was not available.
Are fucking serious. That is the most retarded thing they could have possibly fixed.
>>340255147
>>340255162
So it's trash then. Well it will make for an interesting singleplayer experience I guess, and pirating means I can't cheat bosses with coop so I guess that's something to look forward to.
>>340254934
The pvp is the worst it's ever been. The meta is boring and annoying as shit. Gotthard twin swords rolling l1 spam, greatshield+dark sword r1 spam, black knight great axe + hornet ring parry baiters are plentiful. Hopefully they'll straighten things out by the dlc.
>>340255162
Then why bother invading in the first place?
The PVP is very different from DS1. Stick to that.
>>340254934
>Don't even get me started on shitborne, dropped it at blood starved beast.
casual
>>340252775
this would not work in fight clubs where you'd have to crystal out and get summoned back in to have all your estus charges again.
it is comfy to watch other people fight with your character sitting with others on the sidelines. in ds 2 warmth was actually good and didn't gimp your build to have with you so people could heal off of it.

I hope they nerf blessed the same way they do simple, if I hadn't wasted my slabs, i'd already be doing this kind of build

Blue estus has no consensus.
Either way, you got a legit punish off of it, which is still OK. Even if someone is allowed to use Blue estus, you can't expect players to LET you use it and not try to punish.
>>340255560
Call over emote is OP and should be nerfed
>>340255560
>>340255761
I don't have a problem with Ashen Estus. Once a mage runs out of FP they're fucked after all and unless you shove tons of points into Attunement or only use cheap spells you're not going to last very long. Especially since very few attacks will actually hit a competent player so a lot of spells will be wasted.
>>340255040
honestly,pvp is shit in every way.
with he lack of poise,instaheals,and gank squads you may as well not even try to invade.
people have started summoning red/purple spirits instead of white ones so the gank squad can ignore mobs while the host sits back and summons white phantoms just in case you happen to kill the red faggots,and in the end the host will dc after all that bullshit.
basically sisyphus and the boulder every 1/3 invasions
pirate that shit.its not worth buying let alone keeping.play through the lackluster story and ditch the shit.
>>340249932
and basically this when it comes to fightclubs/duels
>>340255147
1v3ing was ez mode when healing had a delay and could be interrupted

>I'm sorry, I won't be able to offer any more precisions to the changes, I already did my best. And you would be disappointed if you couldn't look for it yourselves, wouldn't you
That literally makes no sense. Patch notes aren't spoilers. They don't take away from the game experience. They are useful information.
I don't care that From make all the games' stories obtuse; but this shit is ridiculous.

>>340254262
Hornet ring is actually pretty low on the problems-with-the-game list
If you get parried you pretty much do deserve to get 1shot with how easy it is to avoid. Critical attack do need a bit of an adjustment, but the biggest problem is ultra weapons having comparable critical modifiers to normal sized weapons with half the AR. The hornet ring making a claymore do 900 damage on a riposte instead of 700 isn't a huge problem, but making a BKGA do 1500 instead of 1100 is.
The Hornet Ring could probably stand to go from 30% to 20% or something like that, but ultra weapons really need to have their critical damage brought closer in line with everything else. Its not any harder to riposte with a DSGA than it is with a hand axe, the reward difference doesn't need to be as big as it is.
So this means I can start using Havel's Greatshield in PvP because if it was overpowered, then they would've patched it.
Because they didn't patch it that means I can use it. In duels.
