What's wrong with Xbow?
>>144829236
Does from release unfinished games intentionally in order to meet deadlines?
Yes
Do they patch the game constantly after release right up until the DLC?
Yes
The reason the games end up 10/.10 by the time the dlc is out isn't that the dlc fixes everything, it's that they fix most of the core issues with the game through patching by the time the dlc lands.
Souls games are generally excellent for a single playthrough, and their glaring flaws only become readily apparent through consecutive playthroughs and long-term pvp, which is why there's a shortlived post-release honeymoon period followed by months of harsh "critique" from pretentious youtube personalities. Fast forward 8 months and most of those issues have been addressed through patching, while the others are addressed by new content added in the dlc.
Why can host black crystal sentinels home lmao
>>144829236
>souls cycle
This shit happens for every from game, everytime they add a new number to the Armored Core series they always change a bunch of shit. Some of it is good and some is bad, some splits the community on if its good or not.
However the Armored Core unlike Soul series usually has a game or two following a generation of game that learns from mistakes and tightens it the new mechanics without shitting on everything and is usually called better in everyway. See Armored Core 4 to Armored Core For Answer, and Armored Core V to Armored Core Verdict Day for recent examples.

Yeah, you're a lying bitch.
>>144829637
But 4A wasn't an improvement over 4 at all.
It was the Bloodborne to 4's DeS. It took a game with tight controls and an intricately balanced and deep combat system and shat over everything for the sake of FAST. They broke down most of the game's mechanics through a mindless increase in speed that left the only viable option to use 1 cookie cutter build and spam the most efficient weapons possible. Neither game had stellar balance, but 4A was a huge mechanical step backwards from 4 in much the same way that Bloodborne's mechanics were vacuous style with no substance that relied on their speed gimmick over actual depth or engagement.
what weapon would you use for a sneaky assassin build? obscuring ring, the ring that silences footsteps, hornet ring. i want to invade archives or lothric castle and try to sneak up on the hosts and his buddies for a quick assassination and then book it.
regular dagger because of the high crit? or is there a better dagger? id prefer a dagger to fit the cosplay. id accept a straight sword though iguess
>>144829362
Thanks for the rings
>>144829937
Daggers are shit for backstabs due to their low AR. The high modifier doesn't compensate.
If you want to 1-shot hosts with hornetstabs, your best bet is a high-AR ultra weapon like the Dragonslayer Greataxe
Are the following swords good/usable:
-Carthus Curved Sword
-Pontiff Knight Curved Sword
-Falchion
I'd like to use one of them, maybe the Pontiff Knight because of the flashy weapon art, but I don't know how good they are in battle and I'd have to farm for the Falchion and Carthus sword.
>>144829787
I fail to understand why this relates to crossbows.
Feels though.
>>144830072
No problem man.
how come all the clutch rings have massively reduced effectiveness in pvp, but the hornet ring still does full damage?
Got my first invader kill with Dead Again. I thought it'd never be able to kill anything with it. I'm surprised how much damage a single explosion does.
>>144829886
>Works on my machine
>>144830082
i guess not one shot but deal a huge chunk of damage and finish them off with a bow or throwing knives while they panic roll away. are theyre still shit if i infuse them with sharp and go all out dex? i really dont wanna use a big weapon as its a cosplay build. 100% efficiency is not required, playing the part of a dagger/bow assassin hiding in the shadows/plain sight is more important.
i just wanna havefunand using an UGS would ruin the roleplay for me

>>144829893
I agree with FA's speed being a problem and why I said "usually called better" subjectively rather than saying it objectively. Personally I liked the interior levels of previous games and Attack on B-17 or whatever it was called in FA shows why speed makes them shit.
Also most people tend to like FA over 4, and more so than 5/VD so I use those as an example when I see people go "why do souls game make so many changes between releases" when this shit has been going on for almost two decades, not exclusively to the souls series.

How much of a hormonal pussy boy do you have to be to require three fucking extra players to just play through the game? Holy shit.
>>144830674
I mean I guess? It's a bit of a stretch, innit? You didn't take the crossbow, you didn't tell he had it hidden, you didn't stop him from going and making a mistake with it. Quite a stretch, actually.
>>144830703
If you want 1v1s, FCs are usually hosted outside Pontiff
>>144830703
>literally everyone is running through the game with at least two phantoms
its not quite true, its just that matchmaking prioritizes you to worlds where the host has phantoms. there are solo players, you just have a much smaller chance of invading them

PvE
DeS > BB > DaS2 > DaS1 > DaS3
PvP
DaS2 > DeS > BB > DaS3 > DaS1
>>144831225
DaS1 is the best RPG in the series
DaS2 fails a lot in the RPG aspects of the game, but at least has them
DaS3 doesn't even try. It's an action game, through and through. The RPG elements in it are as vestigial as they are in Bloodborne.
They all share elements of action games, and 3 does the action elements the best out of them all, but that comes at the cost of the entire RPG concept just being absent from it.

So, if I want to make a character that uses Dark spells, my options are Black Fire Orb, Affinity and... is there anything else that is usable? Not completely shit?
I don't mind underwhelming but seriously, some of these seem so situational or just plain terrible.

3 has mandatory warp outs to other areas
BB is connected to a degree but it isn't 100%
DaS1 is the only area where every area can be reached through connections from other areas
Disconnected World only makes things worse if individual levels are shit, 2 had some terrible areas, whereas DeS has the best poison area in the Soulsborne titles.

Making it worse would have been a fucking achievament.
Anyone know what the conditions are for Pale Shade of Londor to invade you in Farron Keep? I've never seen him invade except for Irithyll, but you have to kill him both times to get the Pale Shade set IIRC.
>>144834257

i can just open a warrior but fuck it, already have a bleed character, planning on making a chaos blader and a sorcerer in the close future
Anyone on PS4 want to hold my Storm Curved Sword so I can give it to my other character?
I'll reload my save in between and you can keep it if you upload your own save if you want
>>144836124
if it's not working it won't matter what level you are
every single auto-summoning covenant is broken for some if not most people
you need to do the family share fix or wait until they fix it (which will be never considering they never fixed shit in the previous games either)

It looks better when rolling, it's to emulate tricking your weapon, and Eileen's tricked weapon is two daggers
>>144838382
why not switch to brigand, then buff? you wanted the buff animation?
so is "Sorcery is bad" just a meme?
it seems like it is, with people one and two shotting hosts with magic
>>144838551
The animation from Corvian > Brigand sorta looks like the sparks that fly when you usually trick a weapon
I suppose buffing when I pull out Brigand Daggers would be fine tooas well as an excuse to have buffed brigand daggers, god save their AR
>>144838552

therefore
try sorcery
>>144838552
It's not. And when the patch drops, everyone will know why

It isn't, but there are some sorceries that are definitely easier to land in tight spaces/when hosts or phantoms are unaware.

>meme
>everything is a meme
it's dogshit before 40 int, hits softer than a wet noodle. it also consumes stamina while also costing mana, which is not very well balanced either. mages have 1 niche as it is, stealth sniping with soul stream/spear
>>144838625
besides, animation during the buff may be appropriate, but you still perform the animation of putting away the greatknife, drawing a dagger, putting away the crossbow, drawing the second dagger. the transform animation is already ruined
what would you infuse a dragonslayer's axe with?
more lightning?
>>144839387
Lightning is good for FAI builds because it's almost purely lightning damage
RAW for twink builds, slays ganks all over
Refined for quality, can do a shit ton of damage and you can still apply lightning resin on it to make it shit out damage

>>144839617
forest fuckfest sounds good, pope thing sounds nice too
>>144839387
RAW. ALWAYS. buff with resin if you're twinking or just want some lightning damage on a low faith build or with lighting blade for crazy AR
>>144839485
>refined
the weapon has shit scaling and refined doesn't remedy that. lightning is ok for faith if you don't want the extra slot/mana for buff
>>144840121
With Refined I think it has C/C which is what most Refined weapons get
Buffed you can get around 400 damage swings depending on the target, in PvP you can get unbuffed R1 double hits for about 550 or more damage

What specific line of the patch notes says anything remotely close? Unless it, like the Estoc, had stamina consumption increased, I didn't see that.
Estocs aren't dead btw, they can't R1 spam without care, but they can still poke you to death before you can do anything about it
Washing Pole isn't dead either, just because the phantom range is, it's still a REALLY long katana with the katana running attack.
I want to make a melee sorcerer build with Great Magic Shield and the MLGSfor maximum memeage.

Estoc still has comical range, and don't act like those two R1 hits aren't going to hit you just because the stamina cost is bigger
>>144841890
No, it's people @ FROM who heard all the whiners like you because someone broke their crutch again
>>144841918
No, instead remember that time you got invaded in those dungeons you go through to unlock Darklurker
>>144841723
I never even summoned a single white phantom in 3 NG cycles and don't give a rat's ass about being invaded, which rarely even happens since I never use embers.
Whining because people don't want to do random PvP fights while running co-op through PvE is simply utterly retarded. There is not a single justified reason why they should engage in that confrontation when they didn't intend to play PvP at all during that session, which the host clearly didn't have in mind.

What, so me not permanently embering up and using a 30% HP boost crutch 24/7 is the reason people don't want to deal with DS3's multiplayer? That just makes perfect sense.

That's the point
You trade hits with lots of hyperarmor but always win trades
Stomp is easy to land if your Autism Level isn't too high
>>144843929
Fair enough mate, some tips then, stomp is pretty shit, avoid it, no idea which UGS you're using (I hope it's an UGS) but the only time a stomp move works is like, massive setups. 2HR1 is unparryable. same with R2, learn to time your hits and enjoy massive hyperarmor on all your attacks.

>>144843173
wrong timing. with no poise, you need to roll once after the second hit and parry the 4th.
>>144844102
But poise doesn't affect stunlock. Nice misinfo.
>>144843173

>>144844091
I know right? I could host in like, Dragon Barracks or Lothric Castle or some shit. Belfry even, if people can get that far easy, but otherwise someone else gotta do it.

Poise doesn't affect anything. he is just saying if he had poise, he could tank the 1st hit and parry the 2nd
>>144844318
It's 40 VIG on a 120 character, you chucklefuck,
>>144844280
taking action removes stunlock protection. i meant with no poise in the game. nice reading comprehension
>>144844520

Explain how DaS3 isn't an RPG.
Quick question guys, in Dark Souls III is it possible to get the Pale Shade gear AND do Yuria's quest in one go?
I heard you can aggro her, do the invasions, then pay for absolution once you've done both invasions; by game logic, once you've absolved, would Pale Shade still be friendly to summon and get the gesture?
>Guy attacks me while I buff up after letting him buff
>Two shot him with soul greatsword
Oh yes, sorcery is MUCH more fun, dark sword shitters have no idea how to handle my damugs.
ENLIGHTEN ME WITH YOUR LORE KNOWLEDGE /dsg/ !
1.Why is almost every creature, especially the humanoid bosses in the game, are two times bigger than the player? What race is the player and what race are Dancer or Sulyvahn for example? Yhorm is understandable.
2.Literally who the fuck is Gundyr and why is he there?
Bonus fun questions;
3.If you could pick one zone to live in, which one would you pick? Keep in mind hostile creatures are still hostile. Firelink Shrine isn't an option.
4.Do you think the Firekeeper is a virgin?

because I'm already on NG++ and I'm getting bored with this game, I just want one character to have everything and then do the DLC when it comes out
>>144845163
1. For intimidation, from mutation, or the large consumption of Souls
2. Supposed to relink the flame but showed up too late, Ludleth relinks it and rings the bell while you kill Gundyr, weakening him and stealing his soul which opens the door for the pus of man to infect him, then becomes a test for someone stronger to come along
>>144845012
It's definitely better than grass-spam, pushlock, 2kat, second chance, curse weapon, ridiculous latency, and firestorm bullshit that plagued the DaS pvp scene.

>Vier.
She had to get all that humanity in there somehow.
>>144845163
1. Miyazaki only makes creatures bigger so that they're intimidating. There's no other reason
2. I think it's the Prisoner's Chain description that describes him as a champion who came to link the flame too late, and the little guy had already done it
His Iudex appearance is literally a judge, he's the "sheath" to the bonfire sword and tests whether you're worthy to draw it.
3.Smouldering Lake/Izalith seems really comfy for some reason.
4. Everybody in the Souls series is a virgin. Who needs to reproduce when it's so hard to die?

I don't think you miss anything but the lord of hollow ending by breaking her questline at Farron Keep. Be sure to summon the pale shade for the gesture before killing her, and also go back to basilisk central for the pale shade to invade before killing Abyss Watchers. Her ashes will let you buy her set on top of her and Yoel's wares at the Shrinemaiden.
You may want to kill Orbeck before pissing her off too if you want the Morion Blade.
>>144845591
I'm not going to kill her, just hit her with my fists until she gets mad
I'll do her sidequest for Orbeck first, though
thanks
>>144844837
You're welcome to join me finish up some of the later bosses after I finish typing up something that will only take a few minutes.
>>144845776
You may need to bully her once again before Pontiff then.
Replaying vanilla DSII(Cause I never finished the DLCs)/watching old videos of it and I realized that I miss a lot of the animations/stances from that game. Things like the rolling animation, the different riposte/backstab animations, how you hold small swords while two-handing them, etc. Am I crazy?
>>144845428
The fact that estoc or NR aren't listed shows you weren't around for DeS.
>>144845883
I suppose I could do that, thanks for the suggestion
>>144845971
I was only around for the tail-end of DeS, so you're right that I didn't get to experience all the cancer that game's pvp had to offer.
Thanks for helping prove my point though. I appreciate it.
>>144845939
I'm still mad that they brought the "stabbing with the blunt part of the scythe" animations back.
Sometimes I wonder if they refused to bring back stuff from DaS2 only to appease rabid Miyazaki drones or if it was because they were unable to code them in the DaS1/BB engine.
>>144845939
It had some nice animations, I know people hate on them a lot but they were pretty charming despite often being silly.
>>144845939
DaS2 was actually pretty outstanding in terms of the weapon and armour selection, as well as some of the animations and stances.
Unfortunately, most of the animations did look incredibly floaty, but they still hold up in concept.
>>144845939
I booted up the game (I think I'd finished NG+ but hadn't killed Nashandra yet, so I could still invade and such) and played for 5 minutes
I got invaded by a havelmage blue and the game felt so stiff and shit that I turned it off when I died.
I'll probably never finish the DLC.
>>144845939
They were neat poses but they were animated horrifically
The rolling animation can fuck right off though.
>>144845163
With Sulyvahn it's probably for intimidation purposes. He's probably a human, just big and strong and shit. Dancer was mutated by the Pontiff's Black Eye Ring. She was probably already sort of big to begin with though, since it's implied she was a deity.
>>144845786
Nice. Pass and location!
>>144846125
Far be it from me to claim DeS was polished, but much of what you listed as things wrong with DeS also applies to DkS3. The point isn't exactly proven, only self declared.
>>144846560
>much of what you listed as things wrong with DeS also applies to DkS3
Could you elaborate? The only points I made that can apply to DaS3 is latency (which isn't anywhere near as bad as it was in DeS), and arguably second chance (ToD).
Does anyone want an FC out at the Archdragon Belfry or the first bonfire of Lothric castle?
>>144846215
I like it in the sense that it's funny but the riposte with scythes and ultra greatswords in DSII seriously made more sense.
>>144846251
Yeah there are some dumb animations and poses in the game for instance most of of the greatswords in the game floated above your shoulder instead of on it which was absurd.
>>144846402
I felt the same way at first but after an hour or so I get used to it. Yet to PvP because I started a new game and I have vanilla DSII so I'm not sure if it's even alive
>>144846416
You didn't like the rolling? I felt like the animation transitioned from standing to rolling better than in DS/DSIII
>>144846559
pass is /dsg/ and location will be by the Anor Londo bonfire. I'll probably go for Aldrich then Dancer then Oceiros and Champ. Then the rest.

Estus is roughly as punishable as grass
Weapon arts hit confirming off R1s is effectively what pushlock was, granted a few have been patched out.
2kat was just the best pushlocker, see above.
Spellswap has existed in every single souls game bar bloodborne, From is awful at nailing that down.
Latency is up for debate, but clearly that discussion would go nowhere. DeS was only worse at visually displaying it, the good old double BS for example.
Only really cursed weapon doesn't have a direct parallel, though it did have a homogenizing effect on melee builds similar to how quality outclasses everything else in dks3.
>>144847361
>Estus is roughly as punishable as grass
Sure, but you can't have multiple stacks of 99 estus in your inventory
>Weapon arts hit confirming off R1s is effectively what pushlock was
I'll give you this one. But like you said, some have been patched out, making it less of an issue than it was in DeS.
I'll concede that your other points are perfectly valid. Specifically:
>though it did have a homogenizing effect on melee builds similar to how quality outclasses everything else in dks3
As much as I like Souls pvp, it's clear that they all have their own flaws. I feel like it comes down to what somebody is willing to put up with, and what their priorities are in regards to what can make or break the pvp scene for them.
