It means Miyazaki is a hack that rehashes his shit instead of making an unique game
>>146243131
Strickly speaking Blooborne here, Centra Yharnam, Research hall, and forbidden forest are the actually complex areas. You can get lost and gotta memorize the layout, and there are more that three ways to get to different locations.
The rest of the ereas are more linear in the sense that it's a straight oath with shurcits connecting it to the beggining
>>146243115
We don't know, even that terminology doesn't make any fucking sense when applied to Bloodborne the cosmos are mentioned far mor than the ocean. Adding onto that why the fuck can't Bloodborne be it's own self contained thing? I hate these fucking crossover theories because they add nothing substantial to either game. What's the point.

Shulva, for the atypical approach to combat encounters (eg. re-arranging the are'as terrain to split up and block enemies), the puzzle mechanics that made exploration more dynamic, the extreme 3-dimensionality, the unique encounters (ghost-run through the sanctum) and the creative approach to checkpoints.

The cosmos and the ocean are the same thing in Bloodborne, anon.

>>146243115
Alridch is not trying to bring the coming of age of deep. He was gathering power to prepare for whatever came with the age of deep.
>>146243504
How does it rationalize anything? It's like saying Dark Souls 2 suddenly becomes a really good story when they headcanon that it's in the same universe as King's Field when the ties between the two are strenuous at best and fucking nonexistent at worst.
>>146243358
>deep sea
>great volumes of water guarding sleep and rituals
>kos came from the sea
>yharnam is under a metaphorical ocean which reperesnts the hunter's curse
>more than half of the great ones have a relation to the sea:
>ebrietas and her swuid-like apnedages, kos of course, moon prescence is supposed to look like an aurelia jellyfish, otherwise known as the MOON JELLY
There's a lot of connections to water and the ocean in Bloodborne
>>146243505
I don't think they're the same thing but the two things are definitely linked and mix with each other in nebulous ways. We also don't have to suppose that this Age of the Deep as it was perceived by Aldrich was the only thing going on in that age.
BETRAYAL
Black Knight Great Axe is nothing but an over glorified spatula. Prove me wrong, lore nerds :^)
>>146243735
it's a big axe for killing big things senpai
so whats the deal with the watchdogs of farron covenant? why arent invasions more frequent? is there some secret guideline on getting frequent invasions? i want that curved sword!
>>146243727
Not him, but I like the idea that, in Bloodborne's world, the cosmos and space is just an ocean that works in another level we can't comprehend. That's how great ones work both as aliens and as sea creatures, space is their swimming ground. Even more fitting since yharnam is under the sea, below where Kos would float around. Space is just the great one's sea
It's just a little theory of mine tho, I know you can find a way that it wouldn't make sense.
>>146242893
It's literally just a candelabra you grasping fucks holy shit.

Don't you have to be in the swamp to get summoned? A lot of people in that area are low level so summons will be hard to come by.
>>146244553
Fug I thought it was different for the FUGS or something and that was why ppl wanted the 1handed moveset. Seems to me like the only reason 1handed UGS are any good are for PvE

I am already stacking on weight and using a shield with huge requirements and the highest stability in the game, the fact that I need a fucking ring to give any kind of desperate, marginal advantage against tiny weapon r1 spam for it to work is fucking retarded
Anything smaller than a greatsword should be bouncing off the steel wall on my arm, give you a little time to think ok maybe swinging into this turtle shell isn't a great idea
The Deep is the Painted World, lads.
Deep Protection:
>The deep was originally a peaceful and sacred place, but became the final rest for many abhorrent things. This tale of the Deep offers protection for those who worship amidst those horrors.
The Painted World was peaceful, with kind inhabitants, until the gods started putting everything they hated (Velka's harpies, Occult Ember, etc.) into it.
Storyteller's Staff:
>Staff of a heretic storyteller who shares tales of the Painted World to forlorn souls.
Painting Guardian Curved Sword:
>A weapon described in legends passed down amongst heretics, wielded by the Painting Guardians.
Painting Guardian Set:
>The hunchbacked teller of ancient tales describes unwanted souls who are unwelcome across the lands, and are eventually drawn into a cold, painted world.
The Corvians are seen along the Road Of Sacrifies up to the Cathedral, in Irithyll, and in the Untended Graves - all places where the Deep has control. They also resemble crows - Velka is connected with the Painted World. Is it far-fetched that the destroyers of the Painted World would not want the storytellers to tell of what they destroyed, and brand them heretics?
It's also fitting that Aldritch literally consumed Priscilla, like the Deep consumed her Painted World, and that a small doll is taken from the Archdeacon of the Deep to enter the snowy Boreal Valley.

Most of that wouldn't be so bad were it not for the gank matching. DaS3 has the most casual carebear fagbaby tumblr player base of the entire series by now and so 95% of people are summoning through the whole game. I'm at the point where I'm starting to feel like invader slots should be one for each phantom.

Help! I'm completely burnt out on builds in this game.
I have a sl 89 +2 ring stacked 36/40 quality build. SL 70 pure dex build, a sl 70 pure str build, a sl 125 waifu 60 int MLGS/CSR build (extremely fun especially when you play so aggressively that you make other duelists give up and jump off the pontiff cliff) and a sl 125 40/40 pure pyro. What should I do now? Make a sl 15-20 twink or migrate back to /o/ since my interest in the only videogame series that I actually enjoy nowadays has sharply declined?

No. He dreamt of her as he was digesting Gwyndolin. That's why the Lifehunt Scythe is a miracle and not the real thing.

Complete bullshit but I was actually thinking about the rest myself; specifically how the game presents the Deep and Abyss so differently. I've been wondering for ages and ages what that weird spooky void that sings and hisses and growls around the painted castle was.

>invasion mechanical fixes to help fix the game's longevity?
No
>>146245424
The restrictions would fly if they were 1v1 invasions a majority of the time like you'd normally find in past games
but with legit 99% of invasions are into groups of 3 who then get fucking blues on top of it, the invader should be getting the same health buffs applied per phantom like enemies and bosses get and then apply the handicap
Blades of the darkmoon would be closer to their guilty punishing roots if they got flagged to assist invaders who zoned into a 1v3 scrub carrying party
>>146246030

Or, you could actually be useful and post it yourself,instead of being a salty bitch
>>146246078
I especially love that even when you get a second invader, you have fucking friendly fire on as well for god knows what reason, so you can't even properly team up on the host to prevent him from summoning or else kill each other.
What I'd REALLY love, other than invaders getting all estus back when they kill a phantom, is for invading sunbros to automatically prioritize worlds where an invader is outnumbered, and occupy their own special slot to jolly coop with reds.

I am legitimately considering invading as a hacker just for the fuck of it.
Don't get me wrong, I had my fair share of greivances and grief with the game when I was maxing every covenant, but I won the majority of my invasions and learned to have a kind of psychopathic, sadistic fun at the end exulting in easy wins against shitters at the end of the game who still hadn't learned to play.
Now though I just . . . I don't even know. I'm bored and I want to make gankers feel bad. Do a little wild justice. Revel in a fleeting power fantasy without substance.
>>146246763
It's the only buff that ignores charms
>>146246763
Unfortunately, no
>>146246673
True. The game is in a sad state of affairs unfortunately.
On the other hand, at least several games are coming out in the near future in the same sorta genre, like Absolver and The Surge. I can only hope they actually deliver on the PvP side of things, because it's sad that the dark souls series, in it's entirety, is pretty much shit.
Not so much the PvE mind you. I think that experience is certainly worth going through at least one time. But everything else is completely shit.
>>146246821
do it faggot
>>146246706
Gonna need a password senpai
>>146246821
I would humbly suggest that you, in fact, "do it", and post webms of your resulting gank spanks.
Just black crystal out if you see some humble host by himself obviously just trying to progress in the game. Fuck over the ganking faggots, give them a taste of their own overprivileged medicine.
>>146246919
I'm debating whether I want to go full on obvious just to rustle jimmies, or whether I want to be subtle about stacking advantages that can be rationalized and blamed on lag so that it's more frustrating.
>>146247090
How about you SOFT BAN them you dumbass
>>146246821
Do it, give em the ol 9 million soul arrow you'll be invading people in groups of 3 almost exclusively and you know they do that shit in every area and the phantoms carrying people are no better, fuck em
DS3's PVP is so bad it makes DS1's pvp look like a godsend. Literally everyone uses a fast weapon and plays like a reactive faggot. And they NEVER swing first. I'd take circlestabs all day over DS3's sorry excuse for pvp.
>>146247090
just use infinite iframes to roll spam gankers then 1 hit them with a broken short sword
>>146247089
That was basically my intent. Be the carry police. See a solo host, drop him an item and leave. See a host with one phantom obviously just cooping to progress, give them a normal fight unless they're using a cancer build. Any more, engage full overfuck. If the host keeps summoning more phantoms, just keep killing them endlessly until they get the message and go into the boss fog alone like a big boy or disconnect like a faggot.

>let's give the host the ability to have up to 3 allies AND use seeds
thanks Miyazaki
>>146247090
It's situational. Start with boosting health to account for the invasion deficit and honestly just make the damage stat 99 too, it'll maybe put misc weapons on par with the straight sword rape stick that 90% of people will be carrying
And then when you get groups of 3 dark swords or some gank squad standing over your spawn hit em with the fuck you options
>>146246708
Well, it may very well be,but you would have to swap RoF with the sage's ring.
Do some damage tests, to compare 40int dmg to 60int.
I have no doubt it'll be fun.
Also, swap dark edge for great farron dart.
>>146247438
>he can't git gud
>>146247156
Then go back to it. 120 pvp consists of nothing but ninjaflippers who do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but wait for you to whiff an attack so they can rollstab you, oroboro faggot wannabes with buffed falchions, subtle and not so subtle save editing faggots and your rare new player who got into the souls series late and is wanting to play the first in the dark series. DaS 2 sans soul memory and the phantom range on shit like the smelter hammer is 100x times better then Dark Shit 1 and I played DaS1 since console release.
>>146247491
t. someone who summoned every boss fight
>>146247460
Probably a good call. I'm thinking of also boosting my speed by maybe 5-10%, not really enough to be noticeable but enough to do really mean things, like getting into and R1 spam-off on purpose with an estoc/ss shitter and winning every time because I attack two frames before them. Just enough to really piss unobservant baddies off.
Multiple dark swords just slap on my own, crank speed to 3x and infinite stamina and then mash R1 like a blender forever and ever and see if they get the joke.
>>146247283
if you're willing to pump in two more STR points you can use an arbalest offhand for PvE, much more effective for ranged fighting
as sucky as crossbows may be arbalest remained great for me even into NG++

>>146247963
Awful netcode means it's a crapshoot how long anyone's weapon actually is. It's why people hate straight swords so much, since they're only balanced by their short range and easy parrying, and when you roll twice and still get hit by them, both of those drawbacks cease to mean anything.
>>146248091
oh so you elect to play in the flippy dippy dmb one shot meta instead of doing ~30-50 invasions

Yeah he can invade the one player in that sl range, what fun
>>146245104
To git gud
>>146248074
No, I just didn't know what he meant by "range abuse". I wasn't sure if he meant that phantoms have more range than hosts due to some kind of feature, or if he was talking about how you can level up to 142 and still be summonable by level 120 hosts into dueling arenas and have an unfair advantage or something.
Since he explained it so thoroughly in that other post replying to mine I understand perfectly, and have in fact encountered this thing online. I just wasn't sure what "Phantom range" meant in this context.
>>146248298
actually, with dscm i get constant invasions at that level. at pretty much every level actually. not the shitposter you're talking to btw. but for some reason i can't get it to work, i keep getting a "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" error.

>>146248234
Then by all means, go and try to invade in the sl 30-50 range and tell me how many successful invasions you get. Fighting some retard in crimson armor with an unupgraded lightning spear or some guy in full knight armor with a gargoyle/boar helmet and a drake sword sure is fun, mhhhm-hmmmm so fucking fun. Fighting newbies and sending "Welcome to Dark Souls" as you anally rape them with (insert random +5 chaos/pre-nerf lightning weapon here) used to be fun but it gets stale after a while.
>>146245720
He wasnt dreaming of priscilla. Aldrich was dreaming of yorshka. That being said, priscilla's fate is still up to conjecture.
>>146248496
Yeah well you got that shit on thrust attacks and straight swords are the most egregious offenders
throw in the fact that poise got the broader audience solution and that anything bigger than straight swords do a negible amount of more damage, swing at half the speed, and cost 2x as much stamina AND then you enforce a ganksquad invasion priority with handicaps AND let you laugh in the face of a guy in front ofyou as you chug twice in a quarter second and you got yourself some of record settingingly shit multiplayer
>>146248762
That makes no sense. Why would the miracle refer to Yorshka and not Priscilla? It's the Lifehunt Scythe, after all.
>>146247438
Don't forget 30% more HP, Miyazaki clearly wasn't able to beat his own game without help.

>>146248603
Anyone else coming or is it just these two?
>>146246821
Here's what you should do, go into gankspank worlds and hit every phantom with softbans, but leave the host as he tries to summon more and more phantoms, if he catches onto this and DC's or something the next time you invade him just hit him next.
>>146247758
Well at this point I'm hollow quality so str won't be an issue. Never used the arbalest but I'm assuming you mention it because the damage directly competes or outdoes the avelyn. Does it or is it more of an application to scenario thing that makes it shine?

No? Yorshka isn't in hiding. She was imprisoned by Pontiff Sulyvahn. Gwyndolin wouldn't have seen Priscilla when she was older anyways.
Also she's referred to in the present tense in what references her and the painting so it's a fairly safe bet she's still around.And having the last laugh. BET YOU FUCKING GOD FAGGOTS WISH YOU HAD A PAINTING NOW!

what is the point of becoming hollow besides questlines and ending
i don't want to become a dried out zombie
>>146250038
hollow infusion
>>146250038
+5-10 luck when using hollow infused weapons.
>>146250038
You get bonus luck with a hollow infusion, now just wear a helmet to hide that shriveled zombie face.
It's not like anyone cares about the 5 hours you put into trying to make that face look pretty anyways.
>>146249375
in a lot of situations it actually does more than avelyn, however avelyn has the advantage near point blank iirc as well as making better use of bleed bolts
i used both on my first playthrough, +10'd both, found myself using arbalest far more because it was just outright better in most cases
easy to get too which is nice
>>146243447
It does have extremely bland enemies, though.
>>146243131
The Undead Burg is probably my favourite, but that might honestly be partially due to nostalgia. I also think the Undead settlement Settlement is excellent in terms of visuals, enemy design/variety, difficulty, loot, exploration, and it has an optional boss which is, while a gimmick fight, a pretty cool design.
Mercury kills get me hard
faster than quicksilver.
circling for five minute evidently turns me into a terrorist however.
what's the appeal of hollow infusion? finished the game without any kind of infusion, just upgraded weapons
Fools Idol is cute!
How did they fuck up these sequels so badly
fuck video games honestly, where else do you get away with branding some shit as a sequel to something and then in one way or another fuck up everything that was good about the original. You pump the game out, you don't get enough time to see the flaws until you already spent your 60 bucks, and hey maybe if you wait and pay some more money they'll fix it :^)
God I love fighting casters.
You just run arounf and do nothing while they try to hit you.
>>146250606
YOU LIKE DAMAGE?
>>146249954
>war priest
Cathedral knight helm, any chest that appears robe-ish and works with color/proportions, gundyrs guantlets or BK/SK if color scene didn't work, and some beefy legs. LK leggings go well with a ton of shit
There is one chest sticking out in my mind but for the fucking life of me I can't remember what it's called. Think it was a tattered white robe with gold trim or something like that.
Does it matter if your pyro glove is upgraded or not when applying carthus flame to your weapon?
Or is it all about int and fth scaling?
>>146246358
That Sunbro idea is really good.
>>146250195
Hmm I'll slab one tomorrow and give it a go. Thanks for the recommendation
>>146243131
Motherfucking Sen's
Tomb of Giants gets a shout out too for just totally throwing you under the bus the second you walk down that first giant coffin lid
>>146250581
No, the Burg is pretty much the perfect intro into the entire series. It's where all first timers spent hours grinding their faces into it, steadily learning from each encounter, coming to grips with the mechanics, and overcoming despair the first time they died to the taurus demon, or at least cemented that they would be gigantic pissant shitters for all time by summoning. It's very well designed and drives home all of the game's core elements, from traps to shortcuts to overpowered optional enemies to chests to weaknesses to everything really.
I'm also partial to Sen's Fortress and The Painted World of Ariamis for the same level of engaging intricacy.
>>146250704
I was hitting like 300-400 on late game bosses with +5 artorias sword, is it any better than that?
>>146243727
Aldrich is a mindless degenerate blob who gives a fuck what his church says he thinks
>>146250946
I was hitting that with a fucking straight sword.
>when bae gives you her whole loot table
Good: Anor Londo, Ariamis, Duke's Archives
Average: everything else
Bad: Blighttown
Resign and then kill yourself: Demon Ruins, Izalith

Fuckin nice

>noEEEEEE !TOXIC!weapon art
>no gravelord sword dance (pillars of light doesn't count)
>knockoff lifehunt miracle from aldrich who is clearly using a gravelord sword (???) while the lifehunt scythe itself is actually in the game
the only somewhat related weapon is darkdrift and even then it got looted by londor and sucked conceptually to begin with
pretty much everything else from DaS1 got its fanservice in so where is mine
>>146250854
just try it at +9 a bit to see if you like it, no sense wasting a slab on something you don't feel will suit you well
>>146251028
Wow i am convinced i will now use a straight sword
>>146243025
>kill both phantoms

That's happened three times now. I'm just about ready to give in and be a salty sally, and pull every scummy trick I can think of if I see white or yellow.
>>146251127
>Anor Londo
>Good
>>146250946
It's not necessarily about pure damage. One huge benefit of going hollow is to boost bleed procs. Bleed is really strong right now and unless a boss is immune they will lose a decent chunk of health on proc. Being able to apply the appropriate resin for a boss as well as proc bleeds is very effective
>>146251065
but bae didn't give youskss lmao
>>146251127
>Anor londo
>good or interesting beyond aesthetics
Pleb as fuck
>>146251165
And in the game with the most incentive to do multiple NG cycles, where the fuck is are the Gravelords?
Nito was the best character, and one of the most interesting aspects of the lore, From ever designed, but they sorely undervalue him in my opinion.
>>146251248
>>146251295
hollowed out chumps detected
Recently came back to the game with an urge to get all the achievements.
Am I better off just ignoring level caps and respecing into quality to get through ng++, or would magic be able to keep up through the difficulty spikes?

>>146251165
Gravelord cov could've been so goddamn amazing
should've effected NG and with how the black sign made your world a constant 3v1 against you it could've been the covenant where only the baddest dudes would bother with it
Love me Ciaran!!
>>146250797
Spellbuff is what matters when buffing your weapons and the only way to increase your spellbuff is to upgrade.
>>146251386
it's as fucking plain an area as you can get layout wise
>>146251647
I wish I could've been part of a grandiose murder suicide plot
Fyre is my greatest inspiration
I'm about to start a new character in ds3. what is the most fun pvp build possible. I don't care about how cancer I am, I just want to have fun destroying shitters.
I just tried a luck bleed dagger build and it wasn't fun because it sucks.
Why does the "boss death scream" play in the dancer's intro?
And why is she having so much trouble with the edgy portal?

Why the fuck can't I beat Ancient Wyvern when I barely had trouble with any of the main storyline bosses
I've died about 8 times trying to get to the fucking platform
>>146251823
Estoc Turtle or dual wield AGS with Estoc
Or maybe Pyromancy. I have fun with that
Paarl seems to have two stagger animations. Can I critical hit either of them?
>>146251875
maybe you should summon cannon fodder
>>146251483
Yeah, I've fucking loved skeleton themed shit since I played Grim Fandango as a kid.
But beyond being a skeleton made of a thousand skeletons, I think the idea of the Lord of Death is really cool, particularly in a setting like Dark Souls.
>>146251837
because she is already dead
>>146251837
That's probably the Deep that she escapes from. As for the death scream it's probably reused assets

You're right. I try to waste the host's time if I do run into a gank squad.if they're poor sport I'll try to aggro an NPC

Is it the second? Or is there another?
Thanks, Pete.

>>146252183
All you have to do is run straight through to the platform, once you're climbing the ladder you're fine. The only obstacles are possibly getting hit from behind by a fireball on the stairway up leading to the bridge and the chainaxe Giant Lizardman. Also make sure the head is not moving otherwise you'll just fall to your death.
>>146252298
Yes, don't bother aiming for the head or even trying to get viscerals. Just keep looping his legs to stagger him
>>146251665

>>146252452
I've been smashing his head with a piledriver when he's trying to nuke me for 450 damage or 900 with an urn. It's heaps of fun. I chain stunned him a bit but the second hit throws him back too far for me to get there in time for the critical.
I haven't taken a gfco to the face on a counter hit before
that fucking hurts

What if they change the watchdog of farron covenant so that instead whenever someone fights the abyss watchers you get summoned as one of the back up abysswatchers and have to kill the player to get wolf grass?
Kind of like old monk but you don't get to use your stats and just play as the abyss watcher
Which one of you fags was this?

How do I win with an ultra weapon?
The following usually happens:
-Get BS after a swing
-Take too much damage from HA trading
-Can't hit anyone
I can only beat really bad players who charge into my stomps.
