>Implying I don't always carry with me a seed of giants with your name engraved on it
Why was this guy so hard? Everytime, I got him to like 90% damage and he was always 1 step faster and ran down the stairs.
Maldron you cowardly cheating cunt. Backstabbing me from the front and then running down a hole with mobs.
>>342910846
DS2 had great NPC invasions
much more inspired then the lackluster lazy shit in DS3
Once he hit the stairs he was IMPOSSIBLE to catch.
>>342911490
>That NPC invader who was disguised as a white phantom
I'm not going to deny it, that guy got me the first time.
>>342911490
That fucking pyromancer in the jester threads!
>>342911490
Out of all the things I thought could disappoint me in DaSIII I would never had expected NPC invasions to be one of them. Everything else is better than 2, but somehow they turned their interesting and actually difficult NPC invasions into "stunlock until stamina's out, wait, repeat"
>>342910846
dude was a fucking rape machine
slapped my shit every time
>>342911490
>that NPC madman in crucifixion woods
It was cheap bullshit.
But it was fun cheap bullshit
>>342911662
I knew he was bad, I attacked him and he never fought back so I didnt kill him. I just thought he was suppose to annoy you. Then I pulled the lever and he came out of nowhere and backstabbed me.
The fucker.
>>342910846
Is the PS4 Scholar Edition actually fucking active
PC's DS2 community seems dead
>>342910846
How you like my poison arrows you fucking bitch?
>>342911854
Is this a joke? He's useless, sure he's invisible but all his spells miss, always fucking miss.
The worst is when you're fighting him and a Farron player invades.
>>342911662

That phantom is shit. He just keeps using horribly crappy worthless spells. He would be like 50 times more challenging if they removed the spells from him and he just ran at you with that pickaxe
>>342912029
>>342912302

Holy Knight Hodrick doesn't have combat spells, he's only got power within and warmth

Okay.
>>342911854
>>342912029

He's talking about Hordrick, not Heysel.
>>342910846
Hello best NPC, I wish you back in III dlc.
We all miss you
>>342912494
Hodrick is in the Settlement man. Henzel is the Woods.
>>342912364
how new are you
>>342912552
>I wish you back in III dlc
Miyazaki brought back Creighton. Don't give him any ideas.
Where is my main man Jester Thomas at?
>>342912621
Hodrick has a purple sign down in the woods.
>>342912708
That's not an invasion, you summon him. Totally different.
>>342911490
Not so much the base game, but yeah the DLC was awesome.

>DS2 had great NPC invasions
bullshit, there was nothing fun about having to fight damage sponges with infinite poise and spells and the ability to roll out of an attack string any time they felt like
maldron and thomas were the only real clever ones of the lot and maldron's the worst offender because he can go 0-60 in .6 seconds and once he starts moving your only hope is a seed or a curse-immune hat

Yes I'm playing it right now

I miss that shit so much.
I remember going to fight Nashandra and summoning this NPC who used lightning spells and had great heal on him. He tanked so much shit for me it was amazing and he healed me as well.
>>342911990
>over 2k players 30 minutes ago
Its as alive as das1
NPC fights in DS2 were difficult as hell, especially if you aren't using a 2H large club or something to stunlock them to death.
The betrayer girl whose world you invade is absurdly difficult on NG+, since she can both pop out massive heals and deal wacky damage with WotG, and both spells have almost no wind up. I never managed to beat her "legit".
>>342911990
Because everyone and their mum is softbanned, just spawn a few prism stones and you'll have pvp for days
>>342913230
it worked
my... masterpiece
>>342913360
>>342913230
we're all sons of bitches now
>>342912924
Hopefully the DLC bring something like that back
>>342913701
I doubt that.
I'm sure it's going to be Oolacite all over again (as, exactly the same place; this time you climb instead of go down).
>>342914041
Actually that concept would be absolutely fucking sick for one of the DLC's
>instead of going downwards into dark you follow the DaSIII theme and are climbing upwards to some angelic city
>start off on ground level and slowly climb terrain and such until you are climbing giant ivory staircases to what looks like heavens gate

Can someone explain the others to me? thanks in advance.
>>342915206
DeS - Cursed Weapon DragonboneSmasher and Uh twin dagger?. . Should've been Scraping Spear imo.
DS3 - Dark Sword R1 mash
Bloodborne - Rifle Meta.
>>342915206
des would probably be kilij ultra-rape dex weapon vs. buffed dragon bone smasher ultra-rape
bb would be fire buffed rifle spear, video related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI3aRB5LADk
>das3 is dark sword spam + fallen knight helm because teenieboppers use it
I disagree with with 3 though, should actually be some dude spamming caestus parry with hornet + dragonslayer greataxe or bkga
>>342915617
caestus + dark sword with a really conspicuous yhorm's or BKGA on their back
>>342915206
Guns are mean as fuck in Bloodborne, especially because there are alot of retards that don't level health at all.
And Dark Souls 3 is nothing but spam and edgy outfits
>>342916008
>>342915617
>>342915491
Thanks.
Never ceases to amaze how much time people spend finding completely broken equipment + build + stats combinations on those games.
>>342916008
>And Dark Souls 3 is nothing but spam and edgy outfits
100% accurate
>>342916008
I don't get it why people don't level up vit in a game where PVP almost requires you to exchange blows and the only poise you have is hyper armor. Even focused stat dumping to increase damage will not help at all when your opponent is reaching 3k health.
Holy Knight Aurheim is worse.
>Invaded by Holy Knight Aurheim.
>huh I wonder where he is
>hmm can't seem to find him, oh well
>carry on doing what I'm doing
>see a chest
>open it
>suddenly a jar starts moving behind me while I'm opening the chest
>scream outloud and try to stop opening the chest to protect myself
I had to take a short break after that to calm my nerves
>>342916906
Shit like that made Ivory King the best DLC, the only thing that ruined though were those fucking ice porcupines. Fuck those niggers
When will the DaS2 babbies give up?
If I only I could do as much damage as Maldron can dish out.
>>342917263
Nobody's saying that 2 is overall better than 3, it's just that 3 seems to be missing a lot of the good ideas that 2 had and is seemingly plain and lacking in depth for the most part.
The DLC for 3 won't fix fundamental issues with the main game or do anything different.
>>342917456
Don't give him his (you)
>>342917456
>The DLC for 3 won't ... do anything different
Souls dlc has always been a tier above the main game, so hopefully they can pull something off.
>>342917064
Ivory King is best character.

>>342917424
Mule a lightning infused great lance and use it at low level crucificatiom woods. That'll deal damage
>>342910846
I swear, Maldron is like 'that kid' of invaders. How did he show up as a fake white phantom in the 3rd DLC without an invasion message anyway?
>>342918049

shit what was this artists name

>>342921601
scasblog or some such
>>342910846
maldron was the funnest shit in ds2. its nice to see some scripted intelligence in a game where all of the enemies are just mindless obstacles
The first guy that invades you is named fucking Dennis. That alone should tell you how shit everything about the game is.
>>342921979
yeeeess that was the name
>>342923061
>>342912861
This, also don't forget that Maldron can use Estus because why not?
It didn't help that Scholars also threw in like twenty more invasions, it got so bad that they even overlapped each other. (I think you get invaded 2-3 times by NPCs at the entrance to Iron Keep)
I would've much preferred the Pursuer showing up instead of them, maybe with a new move each time, as opposed to just fighting him four times in the Bastille.
>>342924181
>This, also don't forget that Maldron can use Estus because why not?
pretty sure invaders used to be able to use estus before they changed it.
>>342924181
didn't they add more invasions because player invasions were fucking non-existent.
I remember playing that shit from launch day and going through the game, I got invaded maybe once by a legit player.
certainly didn't help that to get to the good pvp (invasions) you had to farm 'muh honor' 1v1 duels to earn a fucking cracked orb.
>>342924592
Or the many enemies that dropped the cracked reds. I mean there's like 10 of them right before the edgelord convenient.
>>342924592
That's a fair point considering I didn't get invaded until NG+, but it doesn't excuse stacking multiple invasions in the same place, I also just remembered you get invaded by two Woodland Children and Forlorn in Black Gulch.
It's just tedium since they have five times the health of a regular player and they can just roll out of a combo whenever they want.
Kill savage indios for me.
Oh wait, all indios are savage. Kill em all. Kill Incas!

I enjoyed Das2 more than Das3, base game content. Even replayed it more times, and have more hours in Das2
I wish the final installment did something big, rather than just a rehash.
>>342928368
>I wish the final installment had a big fucking shitty gimmick because it was the final game, instead of refining the true Dark Souls experience in a game that doesn't run at 30fps or have janky controls but isn't a meme game like Dark Souls 2
What's the worst thing that's happened in an invasion?

>>342921349
somebody explain the DaS3 one pls
>>342931887
I think it's just a rather boring "rolls are too good" with implied spin-to-win sellsword twinblades.
>>342912552
That shrug at the end gets me every time.
>>342928368
DaS3 is fun, but it's extremely linear, have less viable builds, and seems to have less content overall. In the end I found myself going back to DaS2 so many more playthroughs than DaS3.
>>342931990
DaS3 should've been long sword/estoc fuckery with estus chugging.
>mfw every invasion is 20 minutes because the host has 12 estus and invaders have 7
Kill me now.
>>342928368
Same. Dark Souls 3 is the better game, but I just had so much more fun with 2.
>>342932267
just put on the ring of evil eye and run further into the level past the enemies.
Host will replenish your health for you.
Waste their time as much as they've wasted yours.
>>342928368
Same.
At first I loved DaS3 but goddamn does it lack replayability compared to 2 and 1.
>>342932723
Wait, you get health from the host killing enemies if you have the evil eye ring?
>>342932267
their flask advantage aint even the worst part.
preventing a chug is hard as fuck since it takes no time to go through once they whip out the flask, the health gained is instantaneous, and even if you punish it with two swings they'll likely profit from the ordeal.
all it takes is a whiff and they can go scot free.
on the other hand same goes for you, the invader, but like you've said they've got potentially 15 estus plus their bum buddies have 7 each
