Reminder that you go through the corridor lined with stone tablets from Dragoncock Peak, the place where sorcerers can summon people from different eras to fight you.
Also reminder that if you look at the sky through the cracks in the room you can see that room of Oceiros exists in "present" timeline and room after a corridor in "dark" timeline.

Why are you still playing dark souls PvP, /dsg/?

Honestly I feel more sorry for Jund, and other people who have basically dedicated their lives to gitting gud at this game. They don't get to leave even though they're self aware it's shit and their "skills" are entirely meaningless compared to "real" e-sports/fighting games.

Dark Souls 1, undoubtedly.

The moment you land in firelink you can feasibly walk all the way to the fucking bottom of the world and join Path of the Dragon. That's fucking incredible.

You can go almost anywhere you want and the game won't stop you because you're a big boy and you can suffer the consequences, you cheeky fuck.

Dark Souls as a game is just as fun when you're running into area you're too weak for and pillaging goodies under the noses of angry mobs that will one-shot you. Makes repeat playthroughs infinitely more interesting and fun.

Not quite sure if it was just a fluke or something because I have literally no idea how after three more games the developers still fail to replicate it.

STOP PUTTING IN MANDATORY GATING INTO YOUR GAMES.

I fucking HATE how you have to warp back to Majula/Firelink to do anything in 2 and 3. Because warping is there from the start, you can essentially level up/reinforce/whatever from any bonfire, same as 1, but you have to go through 2 loading screens plus dialogue to do so.

I understand they were trying to go for DeS, but DeS had god-tier level design and warping/leveling was meaningful since archstones were so sparse. You got used to infrequent level-ups since you weren't even able to do so until killing Phalanx.
>>
>>147464164
DaS3 is mechanically more difficult, but easier for new players to start and learn through.

DaS1's vaunted difficulty comes from the barrier to entry and how unforgiving it was to players that simply didn't know better because they had just started. DaS3 does a much better job of teaching the player in its early segments, but enemies and combat encounters are more mechanically complex and enemies generally stronger. However, DaS1 didn;t have any weapon as ridiculously strong earlygame as the DaS3 longsword. That shit makes even the stronger enemies fucking trivial due to its comically high damage and low stamina consumption.

IIRC, they mentioned in an interview that they received a great deal of criticism and negative fan feedback from the first game due to how open-ended it was.
Casual gamers had difficulty figuring out where to go, and the open-endedness could end up with players placing themselves unwittingly in untenable situations because they simply didn't know any better.

I remember watching a friend play through DaS1 for the first time. They took the master key because it sounded useful, and using it, without any knowledge of the game or what they were doing or where they were going, headed straight down from Firelink to Blighttown to the Great Hollow. After dying a dozen times on their way down the hollow, they got cursed in Ash Lake and were stuck in the hopeless position of having 1/2 HP at base level and being forced to trek back up from the Ash lake bonfire to Firelink, with every enemy along the way now able to 1-shot them.

They spent 2 hours alone unable to even make it back up to blighttown and then gave up and made a new character.

Did any of the weapons they "fixed" their scaling on have potential for a 40/40 pyro build? I plan on going to ~130 so I have enough stats to spend on str/dex to wield stuff.

So far I've been using a Gargoyle Spear and Witch's Lock. I realize I don't need to use gimmicky weapons and simply infuse something with chaos/dark, suggestions on such weapons are welcome too.
Anyway, I haven't PvP'd yet on this character but the Spear feels a bit too.. "speary" for my taste, I prefer weapons with more variety than only 1 type of move (thrusts in this case). And the Witch's Lock is sort of fun but the WA is just asking to be backstabbed and it has no hyperarmor at any point in the animation it seems so a slight sneeze in my general direction will cancel the super long windup time.

Nah, the best time to do it is once you have a +9 or 10 weapon and Mensis gems. Rushing it right after Amelia is only really recommended if you are trying to rush one of the weapons, like the saif for example.

>>147465189
You can access the DLC as soon as Amelia dies.
The early part of the DLC is fairly easy, and can be taken on at this point without much issue. There's a tonne of loot and weapons and content packed into the first area that are worth going in for.

The first boss will likely be too difficult for you at this stage (though it can be worth a try if you like a challenge), but you can access a tonne of fun gear and loot before reaching it, and then just come back later to finish the rest of the dlc while you're stronger.

Don't wait too long, though. While the DLC is harder than the main game's endgame content, endgame gear is still stronger than what the dlc is balanced for and you can ruin it for yourself by coming in with a +10 weapon and steamrolling everything.

You could go 80 with a pyro and get good enough stats that you can easily 2 shot phantoms and 3 shot hosts with vestiges and avoid the shitters in the 120 area
120 and above are literally twitch tier and YT video tier metas anyone who plays them knows this and it's just a plain fact now, but at SL80 you have more room to survive ganks, duel against different type of builds and even participate in fight clubs where a hornet parry won't be the end of you

An 80 pyro with swamp/witch ring still has the ability to 2 shot phantoms and 3 shot hosts at 30/30 and withstand a barrage of shit with 27-30 VIG
The matter boils down to skill at lower levels, anybody can pick up a estoc/dark sword or card captor and be doing a million damage at 120, but at 80 you need to know how to use them or you get punished.

If the person is retarded, 40 more levels at 120 won't stop them from dying, and being level 80 doesn't change that

Considering neutered casters, mediocre pyros, and minmaxed quality niggers without attunement are level 80's claim to fame I'd say Card Captor is probably more powerful there.
