Empty Anor Londo is fucking boring but I'd love to help people with O&S. Same with Nito or any other boss really. There should be something like a board nailed to the wall at the boss arenas where you can jot down your summon sign forever and when you happen to be online and someone requests from there you get summoned to there, no matter where in the game world you are. Preferably arranged by who has the lowest ping to you.

>>146174680
I did some casual testing with a friend and I think I've finally come to understand why rollcatching is so ass in 3.

Basically, and this bit is pretty obvious, when the game registers a hit on somebody with an attack, that same attack can't register another hit against that target. Tap R1 with a greatsword and you can possible hit several different people once, but that single hit will obviously only hit each of them once.

Why this makes rollcatching ass is because, just like dark souls 1 (and unlike dark souls 2), you are still registering hits during rolling iframes. If you hit someone's hitbox during iframes, your game still recognizes that they;ve been "hit" and prevents you from registering another hit with that same attack, even though you didn't deal any damage. This is client-side, meaning your own client is the one that's detecting a hit into iframes and saying "you didn't deal damage but it still counts"

In DaS2. the best way to catch a roll was with a move that had long active-frames, because the long active frames would linger inside someone's hitbox while they rolled until their iframes wore out, and then register a hit. It doesn;t work this way in 3, because those long active frames effectively cease to apply to your target the moment they touch rolling iframes.

The end consequence is that rolling essentially nulls hitboxes, and the only way to rollcatch is to aim/time your attack to ONLY hit them during the vulnerable recovery of their roll and not a single frame before. Naturally, this means that slow weapons with long active frames and lingering hitboxes (eg. UGS, greathammers, etc.) are exceptionally bad at rollcatching, while small, fast weapons that can more easily and reactively time around the end of iframes are great at rollcatching.

This system is really stupid and poorly designed (thanks miyazaki for de-fixing things that were already fixed) and creates a lot of issues in latency.

You are on drugs if you think rolling was better in 2. Abysmal hit boxes and op tracking on weapons, made 2 a bigger shitpile than it already was. Rolls were perfect in 1. The ninja flip ring, however, was stupid and poorly implemented.
>>
>>146175189
Poise damage is roughly tripled universally in pvp.
Incoming poisedamage is halved during the active frames of ultra weapon attacks (hyperarmor).

Each attack a weapon has deals different amounts of pose damage, and poise damage is roughly doubled again by 2H. Running attacks deal the highest poise damage, rolling attacks are universally instant poisebreaks unless they hit hyperarmor, but do the least poise damage vs hyperarmor.

Poise values are so fucky that pretty much anything 2H invalidates all poise, but 1H small weapons like rapiers and straightswords get completely crushed by poisestacking.

Poise also doesn't regenerate until your poise is broken, so each hit that doesn't stagger you gradually makes you more vulnerable to stagger. This includes attacks that strike rolling hyperarmor.
>>
>>146175382
Well, yes, that's how i've always assumed it was.

Since you shared this, I'll give you my findings since I haven't seen anybody mention this.

3's rolls are the same speed (if not a little faster) than 2s animation cancelled rolls at less than half the stamina cost. Ergo, kill yourself Miyazaki.

Of course, I might be wrong but i'm pretty sure i'm right.

You never even played online, luci. You're not fooling anyone.
>>
>>146175189
In PvE it's pretty much like it is in DaS1, maybe a little weaker.
In PvP you can poise through 1h greatswords or 2h rapiers. Anything stronger than that, though, is impossible to poise through, because if you have highest poise armor AND giant ring +2 AND high vit+adp you still have 1 poise less than you need to poise through 20 poisebreak straightsword's 2hr1 with stone ring. Also rolling attacks will always stagger, no matter their actual poisebreak, and some other attacks too, like all reapers attacks.
Then, poise depletes with attacks and does not regenerate. But it does reset if it goes to 0.
Then, attacking with big weapons doubles poise and makes unpoiseable attacks poiseable, so you can hyperpoise through anything. Though poise will still get depleted.

That's why he made the video, to showcase it. It's not as retarded as helixodon but it's still a fucking pain in the neck.

That's true. I really wish you could even stack them, sometimes I just want any sort of multiplayer and would want to use orb+sign. If I can use an area covenant + orb I see no reason to allow further.

Personally, I'd just hope for something like 2's DLC applied to the main game. Say you could leave your sign by the water reserve and then it might appear in a convenient place for Pope/Aldrich/Yhorm. Or just a specific boss if you wanted, I just want a sign that only disappears if I get a loading screen.
And apply that to RSS too. Some people into duels might want to grind while waiting.

They could've just given blue eye orb-style functionality to all forms of online interaction and kept the bell system from BB instead of going back to signs. That way any host could just send out a call for help and anyone in an online zone could respond.

Well, I don't know if DS1 has the ability to be changed that way, but DS3 could've been better. I don't know why they got rid of bells either, so long as you got passwords you can still get your gank together or whatever the fuck you need a specific person for. Ringing a bell is so much more convenient than trying to pick up signs.

Considering all the shit people consider exciting in DaS came from 3 years worth of tech discovery in DeS, that's pretty fucking hasty.
Look at animation cancelling in DaS2. It took like 6 months before people started using it and it is the most vital thing to make everything viable and speeds up the combat tremendously (rolls are even just as fast as in DaS3).
And it isn't even some obscure glitch. We knew about it before we got to play the game.

Oh boy they have patched the immortal NPC glitch right when I decided to start a SL1 run. The mere fact there was a fucking glitch to begin with turns the whole deal down to me either way.

It just bums me out just because I was busy with work I couldn't get a single SL1 character with every gear worth a shit.

Yeah but what good are the challenges if anyone was hacking their way to the same/better rewards using the easiest possible methods?

By the time I could muster the strength to beat the Dancer/Gundyr on lvl 1 on NG the glitch abusers did the whole game and moved on to NG++ for the better rings. Might as well just drop it now.

You can also be any NPC whose armor you get, like evangelists with sacred flames or lothric knights who can use collapse as camouflage.

There's also being something like a miner using pickaxe and so on.

For japanese people, farming materials IS endgame replayability.
DaS2 did the same thing with 1% drops from non-respawning enemies, and farmable ascetics to farm those non-respawning enemies, and no unlimited twinkling/dragon bone vendor so you had to farm them by asceticing Dragon Aerie to hunt crystal lizards over and over, and no full eye orb so anybody not pvping at the arena meta level had to spam ascetics to farm CREO

And so on and so forth. The grind in DaS3 is relatively tame by comparison.

Umm I mean there are a lot that I would like to do but can't. Some of the enemy's that were annoying first run would either be boring or impossible to carry through on.

Firewitch, evangelist(minus the tome unfortunately), and jailer are really the only ones that I've thought of so far where you could almost perfectly mimic their attacks as well as accurately gear like them

You I could do a lot of other enemies easily but I feel like they wouldn't have the gimmicky fun feel to them

It was pretty innocuous, in all honesty. People hate AGI so much just because they came off of dark souls 1 and were coddled by how ridiculously overpowered lightroll had been.

Base AGI rolls were more than enough to get you through the game if you weren;t relying entirely on your roll having a million extraneous iframes to compensate for your poor timing.

Most souls newcomers make heavy use of a shield their first playthrough and barely notice that ADP is even a stat. It's only the DaS1 fans that had an issue with rolling in 2, and only because they hate everything new and blamed the game for having a more balanced roll instead of the mindless, mashy, game-trivializing crutchroll that DaS1 was notorious for.

For all that people whine about the Farron GS (and I'll admit, the L1s look corny as fuck, you just lie down and slide, what the hell?) it's fun as hell. The L1s being this huge lunge forward with a quick setup hit and a wide, delayed followup sweep cover a tonne of the weaknesses typical to UGS as a weapon class and give it a lot of versatility.

There's nothing more satisfying than steering your dagger hit away at the last second so some parryfisher whiffs their cestus swipe and eats the driftslash, or spacing your L1 perfectly against a turtle so that the drift dead-angles them during the guardstun of the dagger

It's generally just a great tool to have on a weapon class that generally lacks viable offensive tools. I just wish the parry wasn't such dogshit, I swear it's the same frames as curved swords.

You approach spears with the farron GS as you do with any other UGS. You passively fish for HA trades with your R1s, because the spear's thrusts extend their hurtbox far enough forward to enter your range.

Trying to rush down or outspace a spear is pointless when you can just trade them to death because they can't possibly out-trade you. It's not like spears have any pressure tools, either.
