AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yorshka!
What's the lore on Carthus? I noticed every mandatory area in the game is related to a lord of cinder one way or another. That is, except for the catacombs which are kind of just there, but it seems to have no porpuse except for broken shit and Wolnir seems to be a standalone boss.
For what porpuse are we even visiting it?

What's goin' on, guys? This is MartyrsBrigade99 coming to you once again with another session of /dsg/.
Alright guys, we're back at it with a little series I like to call "The General Thread". First off, lets give a show of appreciation to our good ole /dsg/. Now a lot of times -- or should I say most of the time. Actually I cant even say that, the vast majority of times -- the primary form of posting in these threads are pictures. And that’s alright; thats cool and everything, but to turn around and uh... you know, disrespect others for not posting pictures... Well I only have one thing to say to hotshots like you: Get off it.
If you think that pictures are more important than all the writing styles, all the information, and uh... all the community contributions, well then I suggest you re-evaluate your posting style.
Now before any of you jokers from the reporting brigade jump on me, I am not dissing the usefulness of pictures. But until you can demonstrate for YOURSELVES, that you can have a successful and positive thread using ONLY images, then you cannot refute my beliefs. Besides, here in the brigade we like to do things a little differently.
Now it's funny, because every single high speed pasta reporter and every hotshot image poster who has come in here with their ridiculous accusations, not a single one has been able to demonstrate that images can be used as the primary form of communication. And that's that.
Until next time...
MartyrsBrigade...

It's in the way
It's also weird in that the Catacombs of Carthus provide a direct link from Farron Keep to Irithyll, to the point that the people of Irithyll bothered to build a proper exit around the cave after Wolnir, but there's a blocked road which would imply that the way the player goes is indirect, but I have no idea where that blocked road would come from, because the big road from Lothric castle just leads to the Undead Settlement

What's goin' on guys? This is MartyrsBrigade99 coming to you once again with another session of /dsg/.
Alright guys, we are back at it once again for Part 2 of a little series I like to call "The General Thread". Now before we get started, I'd just like to clarify a few things, 'cause in reading over the comments section from last time, it seems that some of you jokers still don't understand the purpose of this series.
First and foremost: the purpose of the series is not just to showcase any one particular posting style -- whether it be images, or whether it be text, or whether it be so-called "memes" or whatever -- but rather, the whole purpose is to bring together other players in the community REGARDLESS of their posting style. Now, granted, some of you hotshots have been in here for a while and have come to expect certain things from other members of the community. I get it. But for you to get so offended that you had to run off to your little moderator buddies for simply expressing my OPINION? Well, I've got just one thing to say to you: Get off it.
Did I do anything against your so-called "honor rules"? No, I did not.
And did I post any illegal images or so-called "CP"? No, I did not.
All that I did, in that particular thread, if you recall, is express my OPINION of the series -- something that some of you got so offended by that you had to call in the Reporting Brigade. But hey, lets face it: it is what it is.
Until next time...
MartyrsBrigade...

>with a goddamn lothric knight long spear
I fucking came. I'm so fucking happy now that I've discovered the true power of the long spear and how to use it effectively, how to properly space and counterattack and adjust attack timings and how to play around parrying which (used to be, for me at least) its biggest weakness. I'm still not sure if it can be parried at the tip or not (like halberds and glaives can't be parried at max range), but it hasn't happened yet and I've been trying on purpose just to test it so seems like good news to me.
Still, this multi-victory was so delicious to end the night.

I go through the entire game with it and when I do get invaded I usually destroy the invader because it's a dumbass straight sword and I feel so guilty but I just want the game to be over so I can go to pontiff with my new try out build.

I prefer how DaS2 did weapon arts.
Just a nice unique attack attached to L2. No need to be super powerful or attached to a stupid magic bar.

If there was one thing I wish Dark Souls 2 and 3 learned from Dark Souls, it would be to not have a level up girl. There's just the first reason of convienence, being able to level up whereever you are, really, but there are other reasons. Yeah, I know a ton of you probably like the Emerald Herald and the Fire Keeper, and I understand that they have those level up women there so that you have more reason to come back to the home base and do things like side quests, but having fire keepers around makes the atmosphere weaker for me. You're the only character that level up girl is helping level up, no one else is going to get with her. In Dark Souls 1, you leveled up at bonfires, the things that all Hollows are drawn to. In Dark Souls 1 you felt much more like any other hollow, going on the same quest that many others have. Your enemies and friends are strong because they too used those bonfires to grow, it felt like you were all on the same level. With the level up girls though, it feels too much like you're somehow more special, no one else can level up but you and the people who hang out with these fire keepers. You're no longer a pilgrim, you're a homebody. There could have been better ways to bring you back to Firelink.
>>144680247

>>144680358

I'm torn on what to do for my next build
Dark-based buff build. Kill Sirris for Sunless Talisman so I can cast Dark Blade optimally as soon as possible and build the character around using low requirement raw weapons (Corvian Greatknife, etc) and later incorporate Lifehunt Scythe and Dark Edge for a general melee-focused dark caster
OR
Morne's Hammer build with minimum requirements to wield the hammer and Farron Ring with a simple offhand for maximum WA mileage.
Which one would be more fun for pve?
>>144680212
Rings shouldnt work for 10 or so seconds after equipping them, same with weapons.

WAs being usable without FP was stated very clearly in official pre-release promotions to be a very intended feature. A lot of WAs have meticulously balanced penalties for being used at 0FP, like the Carthus Greatsword, that fails to combo when used with no FP, or the Wolf Knight GS, that triples its stamina costs at 0 FP.
The patch notes are most likely referring to the ability to get a WAs full, unpenalized effects with only 1 FP, which is what made the simple infusion so godlike.

Is anything going to be legitimately fucked come the 10th? Or is meta still gonna be meta and cancer still gonna be cancer? I'm confused as to whether the new patch is making some significant changes, or if it'll just be some superficial, minor thing and estocs and twinblades and washing poles will still be barely noticeably weaker? Do we have any idea or is still a "well we'll see when they actually release the patch" sort of thing?

Bring the most overpowered fucking build and equipment you can get your hands on. Have no shame and show no mercy, because surely none will be shown to you.
Also I hear hornet ring parrying is pretty effective. Depends what level you're playing at.
>>144681084
I don't know, seems only thrusting swords and twinblades will get significant nerfs.
Nerfs to curved swords, washing pole seem too poorly worded to be sure, unless there's something I'm missing about them.
Better arrow stock is what matters.
>>144681139
i'd go mail breaker because it look better imho
but to be honest a heavy main weapon will always outdamages a tiny one on riposte since they nerfed crit damages from the rapier and dagger classes from ds1

first area in archdragon peak, before the wyvern. Another advantage is that it is small therefore you never have too look for the host for long, and it has a lot of narrow corridor to fight on
>>144681313
for 50SL +4 I think it's fine to use mail breaker with hornet
>>144681392
That's good.

>>144681406
you could glitch bosses by invading/putting your sign down then passing through when it said "XXX another world as a XXX" The boss either wouldn't activate when you entered it in your world or you couldn't enter but phantoms could.
So what exactly is the Deep, and how is it different from standard Darkness?

Good job wasting half an hour of your and their time. Alternatively, just use hornet, if you get a parry on the host, you win.
>>144681190
>who even uses estoc and dorksword right now
they're both insanely good as offhand weapons, but i suppose the fewer people who know about this the better. estoc/rapier is better for leo ring builds, danksword is better for strength builds.
putting an estoc in your offhand while using a spear for example will immediately take you from being parry bait to being essentially unparriable. also the estoc is pretty popular among pyros for its low stat requirements.

Which was negated by DaS2 not being fun.

So I made a low level mage invasion character and it sucks dicks. Now I'm upset and I want to tear some PvE goers' assholes apart.
What is the best route for such rapings? Raw ASS? Buffed sellswords?

Magic is shit. Technically, he's bullying me.

what do you mean by makes you essentially unparriable? is there some difference with offhand estoc vs other rapiers or weapons in the offhand?

Guys
Guys I have a crazy theory
What is Seath was a female dragon and Gwyn fathered both Priscilla and Yorshka?
Hear me out
Yorshka doesn't appear to be less dragon than Priscilla, she's got the tail and facial scales, so it's more reasonable to assume they've the same parentage rather than being mother/daughter
And Yorshka directly alludes to Gwyn being her father
Seath being one of the parents is pretty much guaranteed, but what if Seath wasn't the parent we expected? After all, reptiles doesn't really should outward sexual characteristics, so any dragon being any gender is pretty much 50/50, no?
>>144682352
I've gotten 8 blue invasions today, and didn't even use the shared account trick. Needless to say, 6 of those, the red just BC out.
>>144680872
Magic and obscuring ring
>>144682391
Yes. And I found Gundance lvl 3 rune in BB.
>>144681963
For once we are in agreement. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed actual spells as much as I did in DD. The only problem from a gameplay point of view is that the actual casting process can get pretty boring, and it's easy to just get up on any sort of ledge and Maelstrom the whole world.
If you could do something like miniaturized versions of spells like Frigor in Dark Souls instead of Soul Arrow Variant 16B, it would be a lot more fun gameplay. There's more than enough setup for Crystal Magic to be more diverse than it is.
>>144679270
Wait so does this mean that they fucking nerfed the whole 1 fp to use weapon arts shit?
Leave it to from to change something that made it fun to use certain weapons and just leave straight swords as is

it's probably comparable to longswords, except it's all thrust so it's perfect for leo ring builds. it's longer than a rapier (but heavier and doesn't have an offhand parry, as shitty as that offhand parry is) and does more damage for a quality build than the irithyl one. Then you've got crystal sage rapier which I believe is only better if you're a sorcery build.
it makes you unparriable because it's extremely fast and gives you two sets of attack speeds to work with. you run at someone and they expect a running R1 and instead you let them whiff and punish them with the estoc pokes, or you R1 a few times which they have the timing down for and roll around but then you hit them with the estoc because it's a faster timing, when they were expecting the slower spear timing.
it's just great for playing around parrying and making you more unpredictable in general, great for roll caching. like i said it's mainly for leo ring builds (great with astora or profaned GS as well for example, or RH halberd), if you're doing more of a strength build you'd probably want dark sword instead or some other longsword.
it just lets you easily mix fast and medium/slow attacks effectively, when you have both out people don't know which one you're going to attack with or in what combination. you can also switch between 1H and 2H, and even hold down Y or Triangle to switch to 2H'ing the estoc/longsword if you want. just makes you really versatile.
>>144682459
Seath is explicitly referred to as male.
Yoshka is likely adoptive, as is a common trope among japanese media.
Both Gwyn and Seath have been dead for a long ass time.

>>144682795
What?
>>144682670
>Seath is explicitly referred to as male.
But that doesn't really MEAN anything. Seath's appearance doesn't give away any sort of actual gender and the references as male could just be confusion that he didn't give a fuck enough to clear up.
>Yoshka is likely adoptive, as is a common trope among japanese media.
Yorshka is def the child of a dragon tho'.
>Both Gwyn and Seath have been dead for a long ass time.
Not saying either were born recently. Yorshka seems to have been alive at some point while Gwyndolyn was still around, so probably as early as DS1

From what I understand, fire and chaos are amazing against standard mobs, but not the best for bosses.

I mained a Sorcerer in DD. I can guarantee you that magic is much better in DD.
>>144682180
Risk vs Reward. Also there are plenty of ways to increase cast times, such 4 sorcerers casting the same spell, even if one gets knocked out of it, the others will keep intoning. If you get in range and start again, you spell meter will pick back up right where their's is.
>>144682496
Holy Focus bolt is super effective if you need fast attacks.

Not really. Everything was floaty as fuck. The lore made no sense and was half assed. The animations sucked. The buggy hit boxes and crap tier rolls just made everything worse. Guard breaks were not tied to stamina. etc.
