>>338241447
okay yeah but if goldielocks and gank master had been able to do any amount of actual damage, red would have been in trouble

My best co op run ended in the worst possible way.
>>338244781
Mash roll.Getting thrown like that was the highlight of the entire game for me.
>>338244420
I like to think of that as beating them so hard they have to restart the game.

>>338241914
I love stories like these. Nothing better than gank squads being ruined.
>>338245191
so good right? i love taking away a invaders free kill when he thinks he has me. most the time i roll around with ridicules builds so when someone invades me i run around until they think they have me then i disconnect. xD fucking classic
>going through archdragon peak
>some spear shitter invades me on the second bonfire
>have a havel and drakeblood knight on my ass
>spearfaggot keeps throwing knives behind enemies
>manage to kill the enemies
>pokes me to death from 100 yards away
nice ga.me
what do people care so much about in this game that they're willing to disconnect ?
embers ?
>ember up ready for invades
>remember I need ps+
>cry
also how do I make cestus viable. Heavy, sharp, or refined
>>338244420
I actually love that axe.
>come to threat expecting to see unique, interesting, or funny webm
>just people fishing for parries until they can 1shot somebody with hornet ring or one shot killing some retard with 10 vigor
every time
>>338245546
If I disconnect before you technically kill me, you don't win
>>338245546
They think that you're there for souls or tongues or shackles, but you're actually there for tears and they happily give them to you
>>338245546
it's out of spite so you don't get your covenant item for the win.
It only works on blueberries really though because it takes a year to get summoned for those cucks
you don't even need to alt f4 for them though, just hit the black crystal
>>338244150
>that last shonen-Skelly hit

>>338245838
nice work man
>>338245838
worse thing about dark souls 3 removing power stance is that I can't duel wield avalynne with exploding bolts
someone post that webm of a guy lying down and the invader running right past him.
If you guys are so butthurt about "gankers" why don't you just invade as a mad phantom?
>>338246012
You would be out of ammo very quickly
>>338246039
You still get ganked as a madman?
>>338246181
but you can win by killing phantoms
>>338246234
>Kill the host or 1/2/3 phantoms
It's practically the same shit
>>338246181
there's a higher chance that you'll invade a world that already has invaders in it if you do the mad invasion. Same thing with invading as a sunlight warrior. It doesn't avoid gank squads but it helps even the odds. Usually having one other person around, even if they're shit is enough of a distraction that you can pick off some phantoms or kill the host.
Also if you play Aldrich Faithful you're pretty much guaranteed to have some backup.
>First time invading on darksouls 3
>Gank squad of 3
>Beat them all with ease
>Why are there so many scrubs now?
>>338246234
I've stopped playing as a madman because I hated getting the boot after killing a few phantoms
>>338242285
UPGRADE THE WEAPON YOU TURBONIGGER. If you wouldn't waste all your slabs on your straightsword faggotry he would've been dead after the lunging attack you ASSHOLE. GOD DAMN THIS IS SO PAINFUL TO WATCH REEEEEEEEEEEE

Always an inconvenience.
>be me
>can't parry
gg lads
>>338246372
that host had like 1300 HP, you aren't going to kill him in one plunging attack.
Don't get the wrong idea about how much damage you're doing because you've been lucky and fighting against retards with 500 hp
>>338246350
tears of denial saves you from that height as well, at least that's what I've seen.
>>338241193
Magic and the soul swords look super fun, why does no one post magic stuff
>>338246567
two hand a great weapon and your opponent can't parry either. Levels the playing field.
>>338241718
if the phantoms weren't fucking idiots and just rolled away instead of rolling into his fucking weapon art they'd have been fine.
i mean it feels great to cleave entire parties like this but there's no denying that this shit only works against shitty players unless you're literally 2 shotting them with a single combo.
>>338246676
You know what I miss about DS2 was the greatsword parry.
>>338246372
no, i'm using a DSGA+5 and my ripostes do about 1600 damage, fully charged R2 1200 and a plunging something in between at SL120. STR 50 is a must have for this weapon, a little bit DEX & FTH (maybe 20 each) for some sweet extra damage and your AR goes somewhere around 750. Lightning Clutch Ring and Hornet Ring are a must have with this weapon and maybe going naked for the flynns ring bonus. you'll be rocking over 800 AR and oneshotting most of these plebs at SL120 with your plunges and ripostes. didn't mean to bully you sorry anon.
>>338246487
How much of a fucking faggot do you have to be alt+f4 in Dark Souls 3...
2nd sure was fun
>>338246372
????????????
>>338246640
The only webms of magic in DS3 you're going to see are people abusing the obscuring ring to snipe people with crystal soul spear or soul stream
that's the only viable way to play because magic is shit now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz5vnejEieA
>>338246640
as fun as they are they suck ass in pvp
FROM overreacted. magic went from (maybe) being overtuned in ds2 to being complete ass in ds3.
Really regret not having the I'M SORRY carving for this one
>>338246838
You should try the BKGA.
I switched my DSGA for this weapon and I never looked back.
>>338246372
also im SL100. im not some turbo shitter that needs to pad 4-5 stats to 40 to kill kids. SL120 is way too high.
>>338245494
You're not supposed to be banned from the online is you disconnect to much, or I miss something ?

Disconnects are like an extra satisfying victory for me, which is funny considering the person tries to achieve the opposite.
>>338246917
I've seen 1 or 2 vids with good magic pvpers using mainly soul swords and the moonlight greatsword.
>>338247086
with the knight as a starting class you have enough vitality to handle the weight.
>>338247104
damn dude i dropped my estoc reading that shitpost
>>338247163
Are1you ok?
>>338247158
I'm talking about Flynn's Ring, vitality has literally no effect on the flynn's ring at all. It did in Dark Souls 2 but it does not in dark souls 3
So how's the online? Is it worth the $60?
Ipiratedthe game and will buy it in 3 months, if it isn't worth it then i'll just upgrade my vga
>>338247326
It's GURETO DAZE
>>338247326
You need 3 months to earn $60? What the actual fuck?
>>338241193

>>338247120
Every time I see these posts on 4chan I feel like people are really mad as fuck but don't want to admit it
you're all like "haha I scared him out of the game" but really he just completely negated your invasion, kept everything he had, and set you home with nothing. I know a lot of you are really salty about it deep down, and at the very least, you know that everybody who alt+f4 considers it a victory in their own eyes.

adaptability is still one of the most mind-bogglingly stupid decisions I've seen a dev make. What utter moron at From thought tying dodging to a fucking stat was a good idea?
>>338247430
dark souls 3 webm threads in a nutshell
>>338247571
You get nothing from invasions though.
>>338247571
The only people who actually give a shit about covenant items are blueberries
As for souls, I spend probably upwards of 15k per invasion
>>338246954
that's fucking great work anon
>>338247306
yes it does it has to do with the percentage. if your encumberment is below 15% you have the max bonus from the flynn ring. the higher your vitality is the lower is your percentage. maybe play the game before spewing shit around.
>>338247571
Why would the invader be mad at a disconect?
>>338247634
You get embers which are valuable
>>338247721
>embers
>valuable
You get like 80 even without co-op or invasions. Are you retarded?
>>338247721
Invaders don't need to be embered, so not really
I imagine only a very small fraction of invaders are actually doing it for embers
>>338247579

>>338247721
>>338247783
They should have stuck to something similar to the insight system and added an ember shop or something so you could actually use all that shit to get useful stuff.
>>338245474
I have a literal toaster. This is going to make people mad, but I'm playing it almost always at sub-30 fps. I just needed this game in my life. Yes I am faggotI'm still having a great time, the game is great
>>338247704
I am mad about one thing, though.Nobody ever sends fanmail anymore
>Getting wrecked by NG++ Dancer
>only 30 minutes to maintenance so decide to start summoning for help

>This repeats until the server finally goes down
I am not looking forward to the rest of the bosses on this play through. At least I got to see 3 phantoms die in one sweep.
>>338247797
They're invaluable in pve and if you're invading after finishing the game you're a shitter and deserve to be ganked.
>>338247910
Back in dark souls 2 people gave me invites to steam groups like "youre a dark souls 2 douche bag" and "git gud".
>Mfw visceral attack is in DS3
I'm a slowpoke

You cheeky cunt. Didn't even use a spell.
>>338247823
i loved when peeps did this. i only fight club for covenant items but im too chivalrous to back stab a host
>>338247957

I'm an obscuring ring bow shitter
I love gank squads
>>338247957
>He is mad about invaders
>>338247690
Are you aware that dark souls 2 and dark souls 3 are different games?
http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Flynn's+Ring
In dark souls 3, the flynn's ring gives a bonus based on weight units, not weight percentage.
I have a character with 40 vit and I still get no bonus for flynn's ring if I'm over 30 weight units, exactly the same as my other character with 15 vit
>>338247995
They're cool but they're glitchy as fuck if the terrain is anything but completely flat ground.
>>338248030
I usually make it my mission to kill embered hosts who start fight clubs. Im invading that spot, i dont care about your dumb fight club you stupid dried fingered fuck.
>>338246990
Man you're so cool. I wish I could be as cool and gud as you one day!
>>338248056
>he is mad about people who don't want some red piece of shit dog turd to ruin their game
>>338248014
I tried to do it with dragon roar as a "boo" effect but only got one guy and he panic rolled off the edge before it hit him. haven't tried emit force yet though.
>>338248152
No i actually love it when they get mad about it. What the hell are you smoking?
>>338248152
>mad
I don't think that's quite the right word for it
Amused, maybe
>>338247765
How the fuck didn't he see you? Good stuff.
>>338248152
either this is bait or you're a retard who doesn't understand that being invaded is part of the experience
I host fight clubs quite a bit just after pontiff, which I understand a lot of people do.
I've never been betrayed by a phantom who invaded; if anything, the offending party cheats in a match by estusing during fights.
People don't tend to gank drinkers until I start throwing undead hunter talismans at them.
Why are drinkers such faggots?
>>338247108
who's dat qt?
Anyone want to help finish this?
>>338248289
Why do people start fight clubs in the aldritch area? Theres literally a covenant there wanting to farm their dumb tokens.
>DaS PvP is deep and skill based.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb4IcVNMtBY
>>338248283
Yeah and so is fighting yellow and white phantoms you subhuman red mold speck.
So either stop mindlessly whining bout "gankers" on this stupid site or kill yourself and put us all out of our misery.
>>338248289
How is somebody supposed to know that drinking in a duel is bad?
Sure if they go to 4chan or reddit they'll know, but for some random guy who just gets summoned how would he know?
>>338248289
>fight clubs
>>338248389
Because it's not hard to do something about it if an Aldrich fuckboy decides to be cheeky.
>>338247628
I agree, but dodging really did become stupidly easy at around 100(?) agi if I remember right
>>338247765
Hiding the nametags of people not on your team was the best thing to happen to Souls
>lying down in crucifixion woods in the swamp below some moss/lilypads
>Camo Index: 100%
I actually had reds looking for me and spend so long they've timed out
>>338248451
Simple observation? Sure, they might not the first or second time, but that's when they're taught.
>>338248289
I was doing well once in a fight club and then accidentally estus'd because I was trying to cycle and use items too fast.
I just did the collapse gesture and then jumped off the edge in shame.
>>338248384
>player named "Guts" doesn't use a greatsword
>Darkmoon Loyalty
>>338248515
>spend so long they've timed out
That can happen? I've had some pretty long invasions just fucking with the host and never been timed out
>>338248389
if I ever invade a fight club I'll just join them. I've noticed others doing the same.
>>338248389
I mean no one does it to be a dick, it's just the perfect area; alcove overlooking a roughly round area, it's super easy to get to, and pvpers gather there anyway. Fantastic spot for it all, sadly. Never mean to take farm away for AF covenant
>>338248465

>>338248537
>>338248451
I mean yeah, you drink once, it's all good; just realise what you did wrong, and stop. Maybe let the other guy drink one to compensate.
If you keep chugging, I'm going to intervene; likely the other waiting reddies are going to join in. I don't mind it if you just realise you did something wrong and stop.

-someone on a ladder thinks they stand a chance against someone above them on a ladder
-phantoms with washing pole or dragonslayer spear chasing down invaders with running attacks
-hornet ring BKGA critical
-taken from full health to zero with any stunlock combo
-buffed Gotthard lagswords
>>338248384
>Summoning another phantom
>>338248451
By using any logical thought at all? For example, what happens after you win? If chugging is fine then you and the other guy you beat just exhausted all of your estus in the one fight, now you're about to fight someone else who has estus and you have none, good luck buddy.
Don't even pretend it isn't obvious.
>>338248905
>host or phantom glides with no animations
This definitely.

Meme Armor of the fallen knight

Farron Greatsword Breakdancing
What's an entertaining build to make for pvp/summoning? Like, doesn't have to be particularly effective (though I've done a Belmont with the whip and never want to go through that again), but something fun or at least funny.
I was thinking just naming myself Abyss Watcher, getting the outfit and weapon, and going as a mad phantom, but it feels like it'd get old quick, especially without 2 other people to do the same with me.
>>338248720
getting invaded by some shitlord that just sits at monsters
>>338245608
I used chaos, with 25 int + faith it did more damage than a refined with 45 str + 25 Dex did, and it's like using Demon's Fist but with perseverance instead of that useless spinning attack. But that's just me.
>>338248394
This is a testament to how predictable and bad 95% of players are in PvP.

>>338249795
Thank god. I like my sword (just beat the game a few hours ago), I like to think I got bretty gud with it, and don't want to be viewed as some cheap asshole. Just started PvPing as well.
This game is the shit

My current idea is an Undead Settlement themed guy that uses a shit ton of bleed damage with Luck with those thrall and ghru weapons, as well as throwing weapons while running around like a shit cunt and being a huge pain in the ass. I just need a name.
>>338249515
here on /v/, a "meme" weapon is the term for any weapon that isn't absolute dogshit garbage.
Wolf Knight's Greatsword is shit and nobody uses it, so it's not a meme sword.

are there any weapons that can do this besides Black Knight Glaive and Spiked Mace? Maybe carthus curved sword if you can trigger bleed?
greataxes can 2 hit combo kill people with very low vigor but that doesn't really count IMO because it only works on low hp folks

Or you could just attack and stunlock him the second he walks up to you, he will get stuck trying to do his taunt and cannot do anything until he manages to finish it.

fist weapons (such as caestus) are the only items in the game that doesn't have start up frames before you can parry. For example, the target shield takes 10 frames to start parrying, and a normal shield like a knight shield takes 14 frames to start parrying. Only fist weapons are instant.

there's a popular glitch right now. You hold a white hair talisman on your left hand and in your right hand you hold a weapon with high attack rating and multi hit repost animation (for example, any axe weapon will work but a dagger or sword will not)
you two hand the talismen, and then if you cast the spell "Sacred Flame", you'll basically do a critical hit with your right hand weapon like 10 times in a row, doing several thousand damage.

>>338249947
yeah, the carthus twinswords buffed with carthus rouge can instamurder just about anyone with vigor below mandatory endgame PvP levels, but aside from that, and the two you mentioned, I haven't seen any others.

King's Field series.
Though what I'd really like is a sequel to Shadow Tower Abyss. Goddamn, that was an awesome game and overall improvement on King's Field.
>>338250398
That just means you are skilled.
Really I was exaggerating, it's mid tier. You're at a big disadvantage against somebody with a strong weapon like an estoc or polearm though
consider that, if you used a dark sword, your attack rating would be the same, but you could attack much faster and with a lower stamina cost. Dark Souls 3 has shit balance
still though, most people online are so bad, as long as you have some skill you can still win 95% of the time using a mediocre weapon
>>338250648
I'm trying put three more really good ones on there

That was actually the reason I got into the Pyromancy, I noticed I was at a serious disadvantage against weapons like that, so I compensated for it with range.
I also moved away from heavy armor to a mixture of medium and heavy to keep my encumbrance beneath 70% in order to move faster. The character development has got to be one of the best things about this game.
But yes. People online are fucking trash tier. Sometimes I wonder how some of these people even get to the areas I invade them at being as bad as they are.

Who would get upset over something so pathetic? By disconnecting they're basically just openly admitting that they know they lack the skill to even come close to winning the fight. Skill that they lack because they are content to run away from every challenge in the game, wether it be summoning 3 phantoms for every boss or disconnecting from every invasion. It's really more of a saddening thing for me then upsetting, just another guy who'll never git gud.

When it said "works from far away", i didn't expect it meant if you're more than a zweihander away you're invisible. I got double trouble invaded by a couple of aldritch faithfuls, so i popped a giant seed, sprawled out across the floor in the room under the fire wizards, and waited until they died or gave up
They walked literally within 5 feet of me several times and didn't notice me once. After about 5 minutes, one of them left and the other died killing the Drang NPCs for me. Basically got 2 free janitors come clean up the area for me.

Don't just try to kill them. Be a nimitz class annoyance. Throw tons of shit at them, bait them around, parry and stab with shit weapons that do no damage, taunt repeatedly. Don't just be annoying by constantly running away though and wasting time, balance aggression and diversion properly. Rope firebombs are really good for this.
>>338251517
Because most things are shit or split damage that only works with a quality build.
>>338251426

Do a poison/armor of thorns build with Carthus Bloodring. Poison your opponent with the Storyteller's Staff and Ghu curved sword/spear then just roll around them until they are dead.
>>338251639
Yes, with the exception that running attacks and rolling attacks can be parried. Only works if you hold it two handed though, don't do the one handed attacks.
also all jumping attacks with all weapons are unparryable (forward +r2)

That's not poison, that's Toxic.

>>338251818
It put's pressure on the opponent, which leads them to acting rashly.
>>338252150
Consumed Garden has toxic though, that actually deals damage.
>>338252195
>>338252230
It's just a weaker version, the fundamentals and pressure are the same, just slower.

>>33825192
m8
>>338250691
>>338251818
Storyteller's Staff's poison scales with opponents HP so it has the potential to do much more damage than even toxic. I also hear that you can stack Storyteller poison with other poisons, add in the armor of thorns rolling and all the damage adds up.

You're right though, I haven't tried using a poison build so I can't really tell you that it works.
>>338252497
So you just keep poisoning them. Punish them when they go for moss. Roll around with kirk armor if they let it eat at them.

I was just doing the dlc blind for the first time a while ago. Maldron was seriously a cunt but then I remembered I could use a seed for npc invaders and that did it.
Also in the next dlc there was an npc that pretended to be a fucking barrel and backstabbed me while I was opening a chest and then did a gesture, the cheeky cunt.
>>338250663
I do it all the time. I invade and if a host doesn't attack immediately I don't always kill him. If it's apparent a host ajd phantoms are buddies just going through the game I walk with them and show em secrets. Sometimes I drop a seed for them so I can help with enemies. When someone else invades in that situation I kill the invader. I have enough tongues to max level the covenant multiple times over, I'm just invading for shits and giggles now.
>>338251768
But you did lose. You are one striker close to being permanently softbanned every time you disconnect.
Maybe the Invader goes home empty handed, but you lose faaaaaaar more than a single death.
>>338252664
have you ever actually tried any of this?
Like the thorns armor especially, it does barely any damage at all and spike rolls don't even cause hitstun. Fuck, if would take an hour to kill somebody with just poison and rolling
>>338252664
There's literally no chance of you poisoning them through 10 purple moss. Poison is shit, toxic is good, there is no other correct opinion.
>>338252664
Only an idiot would get poisoned more than once and you get like 10 clumps just playing through the game normally.
Kirk's ring doesn't stagger either.
>>338252176
Why would anyone do that? Its not like a UGS user is hard to defeat....
>>338252880
if you don't know, it's a very inviting target to parry such a slow attack
I'm currently at nameless king and I'm having way more issues against him than I expected, but mostly because I feel there's some input lag. I'm not sure about it, maybe it's intended or it's just that the animation takes time to happen, but rolls usually have this input lag and I get hit a lot.
It's just me or am I having actual inoput lag?
Pic related.
>>338252802
Except you get a Way of the White Circlet on every character. You can disconnect 20+ times per character before it triggers, use it, and start disconnecting again. There's really no penalty. They'd have to perma-ban you for disconnects, and even then people would just use Family Share to get around it.

I had a similar problem on my pc for a while. For whatever reason the usb ports on the back of my tower were worse then the ones on the front. When I had my controller plugged in to the back ones it would add a small amount of input lag. The front ones are spot on though.
I guess try switching ports? It is a suggestion at least.

>>338248451
He should know by the point when he chugs and dies that he shouldnt do it again.
Chuggers always die because of chugging, thats what they don't seem to get.

I wish DS3 didn't let you heal since it draws every fight out so long unless you cheese with hornet ring ripostes.
Hey dudes, what do you say we make a secret code to know whether or not someone we run into in-game is a fellow channer?

Yeah that was the one. I was playing offlinebecause I pirated sotfsand it really caught me off-guard.
To be honest all the dlc was pretty good. Scholar of the first sin really made ds2 a much better game, I remember being disappointed back in vanilla but this time around I had a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the eventual ds3 dlc and "definitive" edition.

but they rushed this game, can't you see? How was it intended at all? It's all over the place.

>>338254457
Yeah no, I use it as a secondary ajd often main weapon. It's real good and the weapon art is broken as fuck.
>>338254479
Maybe they just couldnt balance it well enough. I dunno anon i dont work for From
>>338254457
Weapon art can catch people trying to chug.
>>338254538
It doesn't seem balanced well, compared to my first playthrough, much easier.
On the plus side, poise does seem to have some effect on some NPCs, harder to flinch some of them now
>>338254421
This has been proven wrong, don't believe everything you read on the internet.
>>338254641
But enemy poise is existant.
Iron Knights in Consumed Garden have full Poise. They can only be staggered by UGS i think.
>>338254659

Fuck I hate it.
>>338254703
I should of worded that better, I meant that some people which could flinched with say shortsword (darkwraiths for example), they take a lot more to stagger and stagger less.
That or am just remembering it wrong, but the wraiths seem to be a bit tougher for me early on now.

>>338254859
Yeah, you can dodge it 8/10 times. But those couple of times when your camera isn't aligned and you don't see what direction he is facing, you gonna get hit twice by the fire and die. It's just tedious as fuck.

This is another aspect. The arena where you fight the boss looks cool, but sucks. It's hard to judge distance because you have no point of reference against the backdrop of the sky, and you can run into invisible walls.

>using a controller that uses double A batteries instead of a rechargeable controller
You should be offended that XBOXONE's controller still uses batteries. I'm surprised no one gives it shit because of this Microsoft must be in cahoots with Duracell and Energizer.

Those things go bad faster than the higher quality batteries typically built into rechargeable products. Plus, though I'm not a conspiracyfaggot, Energizer and Duracell sell rechargeables too.

>>338257208
They do and they don't hold a charge as long, but it's very cheap and not hard to deal with even though it's a definite negative. At least not enough of a negative to influence buying the controller over things like button placement and build quality.

>>338259236
They don't just teleport you know.
Any ranged option will do fine.
Otherwise if you played dark souls you might have heard of this one trick that makes bosses mad: lure one at a time
Invaded a dude as aldrich, he had 2 phantoms. They split up for some reason, host and one and the other so I killed the first one, the second chased me into the deacon dudes and they burned him alive with their fireballs. I chase the host back to starting area and got a plunging attack on him and he disconnected lol. Why would anyone split up if they have phantoms and theres a invader???
>>338259469

that's for pussies though

>hitting 700+ at SL 20 because grand lance + old leo ring + ring of blades

>>338245494
>I waste my time by turning the game off while playing
How's your first day on 4chan going, Champ?
>>338254735
The camera for the first phase is fucking infuriating. The dragon isn't even hard to fight. It's just tedious unless you want to use a bow, and the camera is where all the difficulty comes from.
Then the actual fight starts and you either deal with "McNeverTiresFromSwingingEver" in melee range that becomes a chore of attacking once then rolling away, or simply using a bow again and making the fight just as tedious but much easier.
Holy shit fuck that. I beat the whole fight with the arbalest and now do nothing but coop for people doing that fight to try helping people beat that dogshit design.Most hosts get shit on the instant the real fight starts. The marginal remainder don't get idea that I'm trying to help them fight him from range and take unneeded risks and a very few hosts that live to see victory.

It doesn't take long to get your covenant rewards, afterwards it's just invading for the fun of it.

>>338261729
The blade can hit people behind you. Don't know if that's the thing you parry but you can hit enemies with it.
>>338261862
It looks like it damages enemies in front of the user when the blade is pulled out, that makes more sense why it can be parried.
