/r/ing the yorgh-san picture
Posted this in the last thread right before it died, so trying again:
Looking to make a stealth invasion build for Dark Souls 2. Focusing on hiding and coming out of nowhere to get back stabs and all that with some ranged capabilities.
Any tips? How to hide myself, stats, weapons, or locations or whatever?
>>123721654
Here you go, Anon.
What kind of magic should a Cloud build use?
>DaS Gravelording is too impractical
>DaSII rat covenant suck balls
How to make it good in DaSIII?
>>123721757
invade the gutter and black gulch with chameleon I guess
ds1 is better for this kind of thing really, with the ring of fog reducing visibility a lot
>>123721641
I'm open to anything, really.
>>123721895
There's all kind of Materia so it's hard to tell
Pyromancy should do it
>>123721997
Remake the Gravelord covenant, but simply make it so that the host can do it in places where the boss is dead. Also expand the matchmaking requirements to normal invasion reqs
>>123721757
Invade in the Frigid Outskirts. Wear stuff that looks like a white Ghillie Suit/roll in the snow to coat yourself in it. Get a greatbow of any type, doesn't really matter. Use Cheat Engine for the increased lock-on range script and then pelt the poor schmucks with arrows from far away, it'll scare the shit out of them.
What's a good Weight Load to hover around in DaSII?
I usually end up between 40 and 60 percent.
>>123722390
Under 50 is best for the stamina regen+roll distance. Try not to go over 50% at all, really.
>>123721997
Use the DaS version as a base, but make it work in NG too and show the players you have infected as ghosts in your world.
Sea Bow or Hunter's Black Bow?
>>123723070
HBB is the best bow in the game. Unless you're a faith build, in which case it's the Bow of Want.
>>123723070
hunter

You know what you did.
>>123724110
Not sure what you mean. I know I'm max shitter with those weapons and rings, but that's what I would use even if they weren't meta. I'm a fag for extra damage, and I like the look of those weapons.
is there a weapon roulette for Dark Souls 1?
not the random weapon swapping mod
not a "post on 4chan to roll for a build" pic

How rare is it to find a summon for the gargoyles in 2? I've been waiting around the boss gate for around an hour and haven't seen a single sign.

Any suggestions?

What's wrong with her skin? Did she accidentally dip her nose in her rouge?

>>123726503
Shut the fuck up, autist. Your waifu is garbage and that's the honest truth. Other people just say otherwise because they don't want your sissy ass to kill yourself after one point of criticism.

Sorry to bother your waifu posting friends. But would someone kindly respond to an inquiry of mine? Around what Soul Memory do people generally fight Fume Knight? Is 1.5 million low or high?
>>123728546
the problem they have is the last-minute lighting system they put out for the shitty specs of the PS3 and 360. the alpha one shown made the game really pretty as it hid a fair few of the bad textures (eg. Gutter)
>tfw no Ring of the Living to make your paladin waifu look pretty while sunbroing
She will always be the perfect one.
Good dex weapon mid game?
Thinking a Katana or Balder side sword? Or should I stick with short sword?
>>123729483
Best PvE dex weapon is the great scythe. Balder Side Sword is really good for PvE and PvP though.
>>123729464
Well that's a whole load of bullshit
>>123729483
With dex, always go balder.
If you want to effectively co-op with people without fucking over your SM, the best bet is just to use the agape ring right? I really like running through zones with people, but it sucks you can only do it a couple times with high yielders like the lost sinner early on before it fucks with your accumulated souls.

>>123721997
Either >>123722581
Or make it so that, if there's a Rat-like Covenant in DaS3, make it so that going through the Rat area is a big shortcut to the big boss of the area (example: going through Doors of Pharros and beating Royal Rat Authority brings you directly to the giant webbed room right before Duke's Dear Freja, or going through Grave of Saints and beating Royal Rat Vanguard brings you directly to where the Hidden Bonfire is in Black Gulch, right before The Rotten. That would be a huge incentive for players to go through the Rat areas to progress through the game faster and thus, more players to invade.)
Unrealistic hair colors > Realistic hair colors
Discuss
>>123730876
In real life, no. In Souls, yes, because it's always hilarious to create abominations in the character creator.
>>123730876
Agreed. I'm also one for unrealistic pube colors. In fact I dare say they are the only forms of bush I like.
>>123730876
out of realistic hair colours, for girls (both irl and Souls):

I love souls games, but the weapon/armor upgrade system is pure ass.
>all done to just keep pace with the game
>grind for rare shit
>just feels like busiwork
They made it less painful in Dark, but it's still really stupid. They should nix the entire standard upgrade path. Only keep the upgrades that actually change the weapon's attributes (fire, magic, etc) or are demon souls weapons. Those are actually worth something. It would simplify a lot.
>>123731834
>OMFG LOL
Going hard I see. Full party boss health in the + runs are pretty fucking fun. Done a NG+7 manus or Artorias party yet? It's a blast.
>>123731834

>>123732796

the only way I can see you being strapped for upgrade mats is if you decide to upgrade your whole armor set for whatever stupid reason
the game gives you PLENTY of vendors and freebies for multiple weapons
>>123732918
Well I quoted the wrong post, but seeing as 2 of us just posted I doubt the third needs to. The point is, eat a cock. A huge one.And while you're at it learn to type

Anyone else use shadowplay? Every time I save a new recording in DaS1 the screen goes white until I tab out and back in
Didn't have this issue before and it can be a bit annoying
>>123733646
I'm going to say no, and follow up with the question "What the fuck is shadowplay?"
>>123733753
Nvidia video cap software, came with my GPU
>>123732796
>>123732964
It's just annoying and ultimately pointless busiwork. You always have to keep aware of it, keep track of which chunks/whatever you have, which vendors buy them. It adds nothing to the game, as by the end you're in the exact same place where you started. You're just keeping pace with the game.
Amazing chest aheadTry holding with two hands
>>123733908
Oh okay, does it capture at a specific framerate? I found that when I tried to record with fraps, the game really didn't appreciate it unless I limited the capture fps to 29.97 to match the game.

Man the dude is such a fuccboi who knows what he would and wouldn't do. Maybe seduce him and learn his magic for yourself then.
>>123735253
>why do i always have to level up in rpgs you're just keeping pace with the game
>why do I always have to get new upgrades you're just keeping pace with the game
>why do I always have to get better guns you're just keeping pace with the game
This is a legitimate criticism. Leveling up just to keep pace with the game is pointless. Leveling should be about specialization, you get to choose your characters path. Otherwize your character is on a treadmill.
>Artorias fails to stop the Abyss in New Londo
>All the town is sacrified to keep them under control
>However people praise him and is named the Abysswalker
He DID something in New Londo?
>>123735442
well maybe you should play something other than RPGS and stop complaining? Because all of those things are the definitive parts to an RPG
>>123735578
The Legend of Artorias is a fabrication.
>>123735917
I thought that was to cover up his defeat in Oolacile; he WAS able to walk in the Abyss, his covenant ring is proof of this
Anyone else notice how NPC Phantoms can attack much faster than you ever can unless you cheat?

>every npc can backstab you for literally all of your health at 30 vit or less
>every npc invader has instant poise break and hyper armor
>>123735875
Or maybe RPGs should remove pointless treadmills and trim their systems? Grinding and busiwork is a needless part of rpgs.
>>123736994
Holy shit. Go play Skyrim or something, kid.
can anyone on PS4 at 2.5M SM help me get my last sunlight medal? I'll help with any non-DLC boss
>tfw 2 days of grinding because people rush in and get slaughtered
>wiki says if you let a pursuer curse you in Drangelic Castle, it'll disappear and you can pick of the other no problem
>let one curse me
>it doesn't disappear
Figures
>>123737049
Treadmill systems are not needed. Leveling should be about specialization, not just getting more stats to keep pace with the game.
>>123736215
play the DLC. He never tried to stop the spread at new londo he only fought the darkwraiths and later made a covenant to walk in the abyss and then left to Oolacile to try and stop it at it's source
>>123738000
You got trips, so here's a reply.
>>123737395

What are some good faith weapons? For some reason I thought I could use the chime hammer, but its faggoty hexers.
>>123738709
Crescent Axe, Dragonslayer Spear
>DaS2
lol
>>123738709
lightning archdrake mace
dragonslayer spear
thorned greatsword
bow of want
>>123738709
Anything with base lightning damage on it already. The Heide Spear and Heide Greatlance are pretty good. Don't infuse them with lightning though, just use a gold pine resin or cast sunlight blade on them instead. Trust me, you get more damage that way.
>>123738878
>>123738943
>Dragonslayer Spear
Oh, I forgot that was in this game. Thank you.
>>123739157
Greatlance sounds fun. What happened to hammers being the faithy type weapon though?
>>123739369
Maces are the best PvE weapons for sure but I think it's just a cleric/paladin stereotype to use them. If you are gonna use them, don't infuse them.

Its really insulting to me. Go play bloodborne you dumbasses.
Would you guys say scholar is worth getting on pc? Only have vanilla on ps3, no dlc. Not sure how active the pc one is.
Looking at patch notes they finally fixed the durability bug (in just scholar?)
>>123744496
Its shit, wait for ds3.
>>123744496
It's worth getting if you also plan on buying the DLC
>>123744496
It's really good, go for it man.
>>123736563
>every npc invader ignores your shield's stability if their weapon bounces off it
you forgot the most annoying one
>>123744672
Are you taking the piss?
>>123744496
If you liked DS2 and haven't played the DLC, I'd say SOTFS is worth it for the DLC alone, really fun stuff. Durability was patched for all versions on PC, and SOTFS is fairly active on PC as well, been getting summoned at a good clip in the last hour (it's most active on weekends, whereas vanilla is dead). You probably won't get invaded much, but you can usually find someone to summon and if YOU want to invade as a red phantom that always finds you a victim real quick.
>>123744635
SOTFS includes the DLC so he's good.
Hah, helped a guy with Fume just now and afterwards received a friend invite from an amusingly named (and very grateful) fellow.
>>123746584
>SOTFS includes the DLC so he's good.
that was my point, yeah
Caught between a rock and a hard place!
>>123746894
Ah my bad, I see what you were saying now.
Will backing up my save get me softbanned? Im on PC, SOTFS.
post covenant ideas for ds3
wayward souls
-uses clouded eye orb to invade in all areas as a faded phantom (think bloodstain images with a misty aura)
-may attack all enemies and the host, but phantoms (red, white, whatever) cannot attack the wayward
-if the host enters bossfog or leaves the area, you go with them
-wayward souls only leave once killed, having bc'd, or having a timer run out
-depending on if you kill the host or assist them, your aura and timer change to a more roiling, stormy mist or a rolling, dense fog
-covenant rewards reflect this, giving different rewards based on kills or assists
>>123747214
Yes. Don't do that.
I want to like DaS II i really do...But i fucking HATE the soul memory system. 2mil SM and can't get summoned anywhere
>>123744554
Just been itching for some coop and after trying 60 fps on a pirated ds2 pc(before sotfs) it's annoying to go back.
>>123744635
>>123744672
>>123746584
I actually tried all the dlcs when pirating to see what 60 fps would be like, but it was a bit empty without jolly coop (or invasions I guess)
I dont really care much about invasions but I enjoy the coop (mainly for helping others)
not sure how much better or worse the experience would be with dlcs and actual multi access. A few of the dlc areas were kind of aids solo (gauntlet to smelter 2.0)
Looking through the changes a bit, it seems petrified hollows are everywhere, as are invisible hollows(?) and a ton of pursuer additions for some reason.
I'm still slightly salty that they nerfed miracles as hard as they did from vanilla launch.
>reading comments on ENB video
>shitload of people thinking Bloodborne and Demon's Souls do not count in the Souls series
I don't understand people
>>123747939
what is agape ring retard
>>123747939
I'm in the SM tier just below you. Drangleic Castle (first bonfire) is pretty much a guaranteed summon area for me at any time of day. Other happening spots are the DLCs, Undead Crypt, and Shrine of Amana, though activity in those areas is more dependent on whether or not it's an active time for the game.
>>123748265
stop defending sm it's a terribly implemented system and everyone agrees
>Decide to play ds2 for the first time even if people say it's shit
>having the time of my life
The only bullshit part i got until now is the no-estus thing but i already got 3 shards and one level up
>>123748612
That was my initial reaction. It honestly gets worse as you go on. The other titles in the series are much better.

>>123749369
Yeah, this is how I felt the first time I played it.
>>123748612
What really bothered me was the world
It's empty, soul-less and uninspired
I cant actually play bloodborne but when I look at the level of details they put in the world design I wonder if they're the same developer that did DS2
>>123749578
They aren't. Miyazaki was working on bb while some fuckoff team made ds2.
>>123749034
It's just kind of flat and anticlimactic in my opinion. Bosses are generally the less challenging part of the game. And even though the areas are generally more grandiose in their design there's no 'wow' moments like when you first make it to anor londo in das1.
I like most of the changes to the gameplay mechanics though. If they can reconcile the good from the last 2 games I think das3 should be pretty awesome.
>>123749034
like for instance shrine of amana. It's just a horribly horribly designed area. It seems to me they asked themselves "Okay how do we make an extremely difficult area" and that was the only thing on their mind when they made it. And the outcome wasn't a difficult area, It was an un-fun, tedious, time consuming and ultimately frustrating area. I mean literally all it is, is you move slow and get bombarded with enemies while getting magic tossed at you ever two seconds

If I wanted to do a Shield Crossbow based build, should I go RoBFlynn? I've heard that flynn's doesn't apply on crossbows, and that infusing the shield crossbow with raw affects the AR bonus on the RoB+2.
Also, does the baneful bird ring's stability increase affect the stability of the shield crossbow when aiming?

Tried that. Died twice when I went to attack.

Don't have any of those.

I'd say try parrying but you're probably too bad to pull it off. Run up to him, wait till he pulls out his sword and run to the ledge leading back down. He usually either falls to his death or comes there and you can fight him a little easier.
How fast can you get the Uchi in DS2?
Anyone in the 560k sm range on scholar pc down to run shrine of amana?
>>123747525
do area enemies aggro on him? it has too many advantages. maybe monsters should aggro on him rather than on the host/summon at similar distances.
>>123751141

I want a covenant that gives you tools to become a Dungeon Master. I have no clue how or what. I just like the idea of making the game more interesting for those you invade. Whether it's something cruel or kind it doesn't matter, it should be engaging.
Where does one put their dragon eye signs?
PC/SL20.

Don't ignore me rancid swine

yes, its like invading the the abyss in 2
Well I doubt the game will get much cheaper during any christmas sale, so I'll just grab it now.
Time to do my totally original and not lame/overdone as fuck build of power stance the UGS from the wharf. (It's still there in scholar, right?) Kind of excited to try the artorias lefthand sword or the fume/ivory ones, any other notable GS/UGS? Or even normal sword if it's damaging enough. I'm all about the damage.
Might see me co-oping in the next few days unless I hold off till xmas/ds3.
>>123753525
>that moment when I realize you're talking about 2
>>123753525
Literally the generic longsword, and almost any straight sword.
>>123749692
Funny thing is DaS3 is made by the same team that did DaS2 and look how not redirecting its development resources to some console exclusive cashgrab can positively affect the game..
>>123753752
I'll wait till I can play it till I call it positive. The only thing I liked from what I saw so far was the fact that projectiles and swings don't home in on the player.
But the lighting looked like crap, I don't get why they don't use the lighting engine from 1 with the shiny reflections.
>>123753752
The real tragedy is that had sony not bullied them into splitting the studio to rush a release, both bloodborne and das2 wouldve been fantastic.
>>123753752
They can still fuck up. DaS2 still had it's original lighting at this time.
>>123753525
PUGS is the best weapon in the game
>>123753752
miyazaki is also on the team this time around as well
>Find out I have a few poison arrows

This part is such contrived horse shit. I'm going to have to use a map so I can find out where I have to go.
>>123749769
You just need togit gud
Shrine of Amana is one of the best hallways in the entire series. The other being 5-1.
>>123753706
I'm all about hitting as hard as I can in one hit (barring magic). Always favored it over the faster dex stuff.
>>123753889
PUGS? Why?
>>123753969
>shrine of amana is well designed
nope
>>123754031
People are still really upset about not know how to roll or just having a crossbow one them?
I swear 99% of the bitching about amana is people who refuse to even consider using a different weapon/approach to the game.
>>123749769
>>123753969
No it isn't. It's a showcase for bad level design. Instead of having tight walkways that circle back on themselves to give you the feeling of progression even when you explore a side area, it just has an unnecessary large open area that makes it tedious. It's basically like most shitty triple A games these days where exploring just makes you feel like you're wasting your time and finding useless junk.
>>123754163
>have to tediously watch where your stepping
>takes forever because the water slows you down
>aggroing one sorcerer will aggro the next
theres more but these are the worst.
It's not hard. It's just not fun. At all. It's, as with many MANY part of Dark Souls 2 le difficulty maymay XDDD
>>123753892
You know that miyzaki was DaS2's supervisor who had to approve of the shit that went into the game, right?
He was fine with Soul Memery.
>>123754163
Are you fucking retarded? Nobody here considers it hard. It's just annoying.
>>123754259
Miyazaki took a supervising role for Dark Souls II, due to the parallel development of Bloodborne, which made him unable to direct both titles simultaneously.
Has Miyazaki ever given his opinion on 2? Like is he pleased with how it turned out?
>>123754243
>have to tediously watch where your stepping
You do know the plants are for a reason right?
You go in a straight line from one priestess to the next and never worry about falling into anything.
>takes forever because the water slows you down
Not really, the area isn't all that large, it takes about the same time as most areas in the game.
>aggroing one sorcerer will aggro the next
The issue here being? You kill one move on to the next kill her and keep going, you either stop and snipe them or you keep moving constantly.
It's not difficult not even remotely so.
>>123754259
>wasn't actually directed by miyazaki

DS2 really got the short end of the dev stick

You're a neo gamer aren't you?
There is nothing wrong with hallways as long there is gameplay, which SoA has plenty of.
DaS1 has several hallways as well, like the whole second half of the game, but it's all garbage.
>>123754428
He isn't going to shit talk it publically. He thinks of it the same way you do most likely.
>>123754550

>>123754550
Your pills anon
>>123754616
CHARACTER then, vocab-nazi.
>>123754428
Well he said he like many of the gameplay mechanics and wants to include them in DaS3.
Is the artorias lefthand GS in DS2 any good? I messed around with it just testing moveset (without stats) and it seemed like it COULD be neat, but was hoping someone who has tried it in pve (and maybe pvp) could tell me.
I did a artorias run in ds1 and that was fun, with the spin and the leap was so goddamn good at times.
>>123754630
What the fuck is a neo gamer? A new gamer? Like am I young? No, I'm not. I'm most likely older than you.
There is a lot wrong with hallways, they make boring levels. And a lot of people agree that 1 isn't as strong past Anor Londo because of it. But it's still way better than 2 because of the way areas still tie into each other. Like how you can see the fucking Centipede from Ceaseless fog door ledge because the area is laid out like any real place would be.
Also since you mentioned gameplay, the combat, the movement, the weapon swings and impacts all feel inferior in 2. Even something as simple as running past an enemy feels worse because of the way they act in an almost cartoony fashion rubber banding behind you.
>>123754719
You can always go back to the WoW generals if you don't like it here.
>>123755176
>Also since you mentioned gameplay, the combat, the movement, the weapon swings and impacts all feel inferior in 2. Even something as simple as running past an enemy feels worse because of the way they act in an almost cartoony fashion rubber banding behind you.
Yeah because 2 was actually designed around the gameplay rather than the other way around.
You can't just ignore every enemy and dash to the boss and you can't circlestrafe backstab for ages either.
You are just a shitter that couldn't roll to save his life and is still butthurt over it to this day
>>123754630
>magic projectile that has traveled straight for its entire duration swing towards the player at the end
>>123755343
Well thanks for making it clear you're just a retard.
>>123755398
>straight for its entire duration swing towards the player at the end
Jesus christ anon could you at least watch more of a game than a single webm before commenting?
They start tracking as soon as they are fired, the guy just started moving when it was about to hit him so obviously there is no reason for them to fucking do loops if the target is standing still
>>123755491
Don't worry anon I'm pretty sure there is a support group out there for retards that couldn't beat SoA

dastards these days..
>>123755343
even if dark souls 2 was focused on gameplay
the gameplay is worse than dark souls 1
dark souls 2 is literally about relying on i-frames
>>123755165
using it fire infused with a bone fist, it shits out damage
most fun ive had invading
>>123755824
You can successfully play DaS2 pve and pvp without ever dodging. Try that in DaS1.
>>123755843
why fire infused? and the moves are actually useful?
>>123753316
Anyone?
I've had 1 duel since I posted that.
>>123756060
you can win that fight without even fighting :^)
>>123756096
going pyromancy, heavy attacks are garunteed knockdown/stagger if they connect
>>123756060
you can win both games without ever rolling
but pvp is different
in dark souls 2 you'll get phantom hits alot more often
it never usually happens in DaS1
but it happens in every single dark souls 2 pvp match
>>123756172
That still works?
>>123756317
It wasn't a glitch.
>>123756341
Why does he die? Isn't it because he's partially outside of the game world?
>>123756183
>in dark souls 2 you'll get phantom hits alot more often
>it never usually happens in DaS1
lol dasdreck lying on /dsg/
Tell me how DaS1's netcode manages to speed up light, so that there is no latency whatsoever.
>>123756439
never usually happens doesn't mean it doesn't happen you idiot
and if you have actually played dark souls 2 pvp you'll know that i-framing trough hits that look nowhere close to you is a part of the meta
>>123756384
We are talking about when you run to the fog gate, right? He runs off the cliff and jumps to the platform to hang on.
pic related; the cliff
>>123756183
In DaS2 pvp blocking actually works..
>>123754503
>it's not difficult not even remotely so.
That's the point, you rectal ravaging bumpirate.
It's NOT difficult, it's a tedious, shitty chore.
