What am I missing here
Currently replaying DaS2 (not scholar), how does the heide knight sword scaling work with its lightning damage? I don't intend to put a single point in faith.
Why does Cheat Engine crash/not work when I try to enable a script? Playing Scholar.
I just started Dark Souls and i have some questions.
I'm playing with a controller, so i'm kinda cozy.
I've managed to defeat pretty much every boss before the Capra Demon, and killed that fucking fucker at the first try by cheesying him on the stairs.
I'm having a blast so far, considering that i got online twice and failed to aid a dude the first time and get instapunked by some tomato cunt the latter.
Should i play in hollow or human form?
Even more, is zweihander-leather armor viable?
What about humanities? should i always use it as it drops or just keep the level at 1?
Yo why does nothing happen when I click "Enable" here? this is the General Table from the CE guide in the OP.
I'm using CE 6.4 but it's saying there's a new version out, could that be it? I don't see versions past 6.4 on the CE website though.
>>122628614
Anything is viable, being human doesn't matter game is mostly dead, humanities in the top corner are called soft humanity and the items are referred to as hard humanity, don't use hard humanity unless you have to, keeping the counter at 1 is good because that raises your item drops by a good amount. In the future if you want to PVP it helps to have 99 soft humanity because it raises Physical Def but it's not needed for PvE.
>>122628785
>don't use hard humanity
Cool, what should i use it for then?
>>122628785
>game is mostly dead
Is DS2 dead too?
Steamcharts shows me a reasonable amount of players (almost the same) for both DS and DS2-SOTFS
Would you wear this meme necklace seriously?
>>122628969
God know I'd shove that shit in a drawer and hope no one sees it
>>122628969
>necklace
Fucking never
I would stick it on a key fob maybe though
>watchdog doesn't tell me the host is a hacker
>spend ten minutes trying to kick him off a ledge because lol infhp
>inevitably die because lolhornetfish
Really cool and useful extension you guys.
>>122628720
Please assist
>>122628954
>>don't use hard humanity
>Cool, what should i use it for then?
Bonfire kidling? It increases the amount of maximum estus you can use for that particular bonfire, but you have to turn human first. Otherwise, you can keep them for healing if you run out of estus since it heals you for 100% of your health.Not the other guy, but personally I always popped my humanities when I don't go human or play offline. The defense can really help at some points of the game, but eh, some people are afraid of losing stuff you're gonna gain back in reasonable numbers anyway.
How come when I press start I get this infinite hang checking save data? I don't even have CE open. Is my save file fucked and I should just make a new one or what?
New to Bloodborne. Just got the Insight merchant Messengers to show up for the first time by hitting 10 Insight. Read up on them and saw that a patch changed them to show up at 1 insight? Now I have 9, having bought an item from them and they left. Was this changed back?
>>122630794
>Bloodbore
DS1 community still exist?
How's it look?
http://mmdks.com/7rwk
>>122631148
No ;_;
>>122631148
No. It's literally nothing but giantmemes now.
>>122629465
Your .ct table is outdated.
Get the new one from the dubious stuff in the OP.
>>122631586
>1 poise off from a breakpoint
Get that poise to 56 son.
>>122631859
This is the one I got though.
Everything seems to be working fine now anyway, I just had to reinstall CE for some reason.
Dark Souls "4" will be Dark Souls 1-3 chained together and redone in HD
Don't ask how
It's also a F2P MMO with weapon and armor skin microtransactions
>>122633004
blatant lies in a ded thread
how desperate are you?
>>122633653
My daddy told me not to be ashamed of my shitposting
>trying to replay ds2 to see the dlc I just bought
>get invaded while getting back to ruin sentinels
>don't want to pvp, just beat the bosses by myself
>wait for him
>he will not attack
>just waiting for me to attack pve shit so he can gank me
why can't I just disconnect without it banning my character? this is so frustrating he's just wasting my time.
Just got a shitload of souls for killing someone as a Forest Hunter.
Was someone a hacker?
I'm only SL 25
>>122634047
How about you stop being a scrub?
>>122634127
I'm just waiting for him to attack me so I can kill him. But he wont attack me, he's a pussy.
>>122634048
You invade upward, so he was probably just high level.
>>122634268
Blue Phantoms invade down
>>122634268
Am I always invading someone higher than me?
>>122634347
Darkmoons invade down forest hunters invade infinitely up and down
>>122631994
It's hard with what I want to use
We 56 poise now
http://mmdks.com/7rwm
>Tfw a newbie runs away and dashboards after you Dark Hand his humanity
>>122637484
>he isn't on the PC version so he can force the host to stay in the game unless you kill him
>>122637590
isn't turning off your console the equivalent of closing the game on PC
I haven't played DaS on console and I've never been invaded in DeS to even test it
>>122637590
H-how does one do that?
I see people here complain about hosts quitting during invasions on PC as well.
>>122637794
I'm not sure about PS3, but on 360 you can exit to the dashboard (main console hub) at any time, and a lot of people do it when they get invaded (mostly Brazilians and Mexicans)
>>122637840
You would have to hack their OS and make all kill options nonfunctional.
How's my lost izalith invasion build?
>>122638501
Not bad
>>122638501
Make dex 45.
>>122638501
The witches of Izalith wouldn't know how to use poison mist, if you care about that.
Can the Obsidian Greatsword's 2HR2 be parried?
>>122638961
I considered that over more vit, but figured the slightly increased frames weren't worth it since 40 dex is where my weapon scaling caps off.
>>122639014
Yeah, I just chucked that in there since I want to be a little shit and ruin fun
>>122638501
Put in Flash Sweat so you take even less damage from lava.
>>122639476
You can parry pretty much any attack except for jumping attacks in DaS1.
>Random on Mugen
http://mmdks.com/7rwp
God damn if you got gud you could beat the whole game with that
I hate all the giant ff7 cloud swords. They are not cool to me. I also hate the great hammers.
>>122642279
>This is what dex players think
>>122642420
nice assumptions there cartoon shitter
>>122642020
I forgot how enterainting this can be
>damn near fat rolling with no poise
>cant use any of the miracles
>cant even one hand half of the weapons
>>122642020
>royal helm
>pickaxe
>light torso armor but heavy arm/leg armor
reminds me of my current character
though I'm just a strength build with no metal shields allowed
Why was every boss pretty simple to kill (Maiden of Astrae gave me some problems, can't roll in swamp and bodyguard healed during my first fight so I just shot her with arrows)
I'm level 60 but I just can't dodge that huge AoE Allant does, he did it twice when I had him about half health so I couldn't heal before the second cast went off
Seriously every boss was pretty simple or had some bullshit to it but they weren't this hard
Good music though
Ohh and before I kill him what happens? I did every other world but is he just the end of the game? Is there anything else I can do before I fight him against to maybe level up some more besides grinding?
>>122642020
Why does it never level up endurance?
Were all the airwalking scripts permanently patched with Scholar's release? I can't find a single one in existing tables that lets me do it like before.
Can players in NG be affected by gravelords?
>>122644136
Yeah I had one in front of the big door in Anor Londo when I was a total Souls noob
I just ran away and never killed it lol
>>122643860
Someone pls help with this, the z-lock script in the General Table doesn't work at all. I recall having to make my own with someone's instructions involving scanning for a certain address while on the ziplines in the Dragon Aerie but I don't remember them exactly.
DS1 - I'm going to delete all my characters and start entirely new builds. Which build should I focus on? Meme answers welcomed. Challenges welcomed. I might even stream it if there's any interest.
>>122644885
shield in main hand, weapon in offhand
no offensive spells, buffs are allowed
What's a good second ring for this build? Was thinking either chloranthy, steel protection, or tiny beings.
http://mmdks.com/7rwr
do you rank up bell keepers by killing grey phantoms as host if you are a bell keeper? or just black phantoms? and what if you summon them by their sign?
>>122644885
No shield
No magic
No summons
No kindling
No estus reinforcement
Kill every NPC you meet
Will I get softbanned if I give myself the Agape Ring right at the start of the game?
>>122646205
Why would you risk it when it's so easy to get below 30k SM though?
Uhh is it just me or is the Itemswapper for SotfS not working at all?
>>122638501
>Standing in lava will trigger Karmic Justice very quickly
You know what to do anon
>>122646331
I just want the Homunculus Mace in Scholar, please.
What's the best level to invade Anor Londo + 4 Lord Soul areas?
How's it look?
http://mmdks.com/7rwt
>>122646882
50-60 for Anor Londo
60-90 for Lord Souls
>>122646950
Why is your int so high if you aren't using a single spell or enchanted/magic weapon?
>>122647064
Bastard sword was meant to be Enchanted not Occult
YO FOR REAL WHEN I CLICK THE BOX NOTHING HAPPENS PLEASE HELP
>>122646950Change to bandit and you get 4 more levels to use. Also I'd make the estoc enchanted or something unless you don't want the split damage.
>>122647163
Well technically occult works for velka too.
>>122647240
*woops, for some reason when I switched to bandit it lost the attunements so you get no extra levels.
>>122647192
...is there a green box you can click on the top left?
>>122647367
I guess that would be an obvious mistake so I don't blame you for asking but yeah I attached the process already. Clicking the box just does nothing, but other scripts work including the ones involving Highlighted Items.
>>122647064
>>122647296
I changed it up a bit
http://mmdks.com/7rww
Not sure what to use for the 2nd spell though
>>122647542
wog
Fuck, first build that's getting destroyed by Artorias. Can't even get 1/4 of his health down. I'm using natural/animalistic/'big guy' sorts of weapons like the clubs but they're all so slow but no problems until now. Is there any weapon that fits that description that I have overlooked?
He's resistant to these:
Slash
Blunt
Magic
Fire
Lightning
and I'm using a chaos large club which does next to nothing.
>>122649061
Arty just has good Def, making the fight last somewhat longer than most bosses, just stay patient, find your openings, don't over extend and take you're time.
>>122649186
I usually get him on the first few attempts, first attempt on faster weapons but I'm doing so little damage with this since he resists both. I need a new weapon.
>>122630548
I had the same problem, although for me my HDD was dying. Doubt it's the same case for you.
Looking good, Boyd
best girl
Is there a mod for DS2 that makes the weapon buffs not look like shit?
>>122651297
Yes, it's calledplay in DS1 nigger.
>>122651341
Nah I like DS2 better.
>>122651376
The shitstorm begins
>>122651575
Well given that DS2 will be forever forgotten by most of the playerbase when ds3 will get out, especially players who started with des or ds1, no shitstorm needed. It will meet its natural death.
>>122651575
Sure, DS1 is more memorable in terms of locations and bosses (especially the half assed second half of it), but DS2 is far better as a game.
>>122651705
I have yet to play dark souls 2. Plan to get SoTFS for 360 soon. I just want another souls game to play and I've played DS1 to death
>>122651835
I hear nothing but bad things honestly. I also see that the game reuses bosses from the base game in the DLC and from Dark Souls 1. Hell they even ripped off Sif in ds2
>>122651836
If you have PS4 just skip DS2 and go straight into bloodborne.
Honestly i can't say that DS2 is a plain horrible game. It was just ruined fucking HARD by its development cycle and shitted on even further with "balance" patches which nerfed everything aside from longswords and rapiers, devolving pvp to wdr1 spam on arena.
>>122652091
If I had a ps4 I would not be getting it for 360
so is the Estus + Boss Soul thing the current fastest way to glitch souls? The Dragon Head thing doesn't work anymore, right?
I'm at the end of a playthrough and not even doing pvp, I just want to try it for the fun of it
>>122651904
Those are just bitter elitists. DS2 is a fantastic game. Like I said, the locations and bosses are definitely less memorable than DS1, but gameplay wise it's much better.
>>122652208
I've have to see for myself. I'm going into it very open minded.
>>122651904
The same thing happened with DeS fans bitching about DaS. The whole community is just fucking awful.
>>122652208
>gameplay wise it's much better.
definitely isn't
>>122652296
>>122652208
One of the things I've seen that I like is that casting pyromancy spells takes up stamina which is something I thought should have been in DS1
>>122652436
>nuh uh
Can't argue with that.
>>122652475
>it's just better
Not much to go from
>>122652513
You're the one making an argument.
If you don't have one then this conversation is over.
>>122651904
That's all true. Also for every step forward DS2 made it also made two steps back.
Dualwielding?
>let us just give left handed weapon 12-15% damage debuff out of ass
>while we are at it, lets make it impossible to combo between r1 and l1/l2
Scaling?
>hey lets add rings improving base damage of weapon by 50 points, it's totally balanced for fast weapons right
>let us also shit on scaling completely by making S scaling an equivalent of C-D scaling from DS1 which will result in UGS having worse dps than longswords
Shield bash?
>hey we have a cool idea of how to counter turtles, lets make shield bash an instant guardbreak
>btw shield bash is so slow any competent turtle will use it to punish you with r1
Magic?
>look at all those new cool spells. Fascinating, isn't it? Shame 80% of them are SHIT even for pve and in pvp we have 100% magical damage immune small shields anyone can use
Invasions?
>poor baby hosts were whining about invaders, what do we do with them?
>oh let us just introduce retarded soul memory so pvp faggots won't be able to invade pve babies thus ruining one of the central pvp mechanics in series
>full orb? way too op, we don't want people to constantly invade, right? lets force them to fight on arena against spinners instead of doing free and fun invasions
>btw we removed the ability for invader to open most doors or even use lifts, doesn't matter that they will stuck right after an invasion attempt being unable to reach the host, right?
>>122652687
>let us just give left handed weapon 12-15% damage debuff out of ass
Why are you completely talking out of your ass?
>>122652687
>mfw all of those last points are mitigated with cheat engine
>>122652687
>GMB and magic defense shields didn't exist in DS1
I mean I know you're a retard but come on, at least focus on the things that DS2 did get wrong, like scaling being completely worthless.
>>122652847

Good thing DS3 is fixing all of those things, Anon.
Enjoy your game.
>>122634351
you can invade 10% sl down as a red
>>122652968
GMB only lasts 30 seconds in DS1 and requires a specialized build.
Also even an anti-magic shield in DS1 is shit for actual magic blocking.
Maybe you should actually play in the game, retard.
>>122653096
I guess you never tried to block magic.
>>122645652
>tiny beings
>a whooping 75 more hp
>>122653009
You know you can just launch DS2 right now and see for yourself that you're wrong?
Oh wait you probably can't, because you've never actually played it.
>>122653278
I guess you never ate dark beads or CSS or HCSM through the crest shield.
The only thing that can reliably block magic in DS1 is havel's shield which requires a specialized setup to even be usable while magicfags are still able to counter it through another means. That's it. Nothing else in DS1 is suited for blocking magic in any shape or form.
>>122653337
I've done the same tests myself while i was still playing in that turd of a game.
Do you know that blue flame's magic casts also get debuffed while you hold it in left hand? No? Maybe you should actually pay attention to the mechanics of the goddamn game then.
>>122653482
Sounds like a balanced game ;^)
Especially with the amazing DS1 netcode!
>>122653623
>gets beaten in argument
>i-it's time to talk about ds1 netcode and post epik emotes amirite?
Just disappear from my sight.
>>122653695
>actually tries to argue that no defense against instakill magic shit is a good thing
DS1 elitists are literally the worst.
>>122653794
>no defense
It's called rolling.
>>122653597
And I just literally right now tried it in-game and the weapon deals the exact same amount of damage in both hands.
>>122628023
Just got a 120Hz display and hacked in lightboost.
DaS1 is luanching windowed and crashing on any attempt to force fullscreen, change PC settings, or load up a character.
Is it necessary to go back to 60Hz to play?
>>122653851
There's multiple test threads on leddit involving the left handed damage in DS2 and all of them clearly show that it does less damage than in right hand.
Your obviously biased opinion means nothing against tests conducted by multiple people.
>>122654037
Yes. There comes a point where a shitty engine doesn't mean jack on modern hardware, moreso for something like the TES series but it also applies to Souls.
>>122654135
Then how do you explain all my left and right handed attacks dealing identical damage?

>>122654423
you have a weakass right hand lmaoim not that guy but i remember miy right handed attacks doing more damage. also power stancing with a +10 on the left and +0 on the right did less damage than +0 on the left and +10 on the right.
>>122654423
Clearly you're a special snowflake.
Don't tell me this off hand bullshit affects bows as well
>>122655039
From what i remember it doesn't affect bows or catalysts.
But blue flame is technically a sword so it does affect its magic damage.
>>122655084
Well that's good, I literally always play with an off-hand short bow. It's my true love.

History repeats itself, it seems.
- DeS
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-04-01-demons-souls-was-a-failure-before-miyazaki-stepped-up
>Demon's Souls wasn't doing well. The project had problems and the team had been unable to create a compelling prototype. But when I heard it was a fantasy-action role-playing game, I was excited. I figured if I could find a way to take control of the game, I could turn it into anything I wanted. Best of all, if my ideas failed, nobody would care - it was already a failure
- DaS3
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/dark-souls-3-interview-this-is-a-turning-point-for/1100-6429569/
>Initially, I wasn’t involved in the project, I joined at the midpoint of the prototyping phase. That was the milestone where I started taking lead. Honestly speaking, when the team was working on the prototype build, overall development wasn’t in a good shape.
Will Miyazaki save DaS3 as he saved DeS ?
>>122656295
Because they can´t make all things different from 1
>>122656464
God I hope so.
DaS2 wasn't bad, but underwhelming.
I'm hoping that DaS3 will recreate the astounding atmosphere of DeS.
>>122656464
Wait, so are those other devs at From just utter garbage, since Miyazaki has to step in and fix their shit every time ? He would've probably saved DaS2 as well, but he was alredy busy with BB, so somebody else (Tanimura) had to fully take reign of the project after Shibuya fucked up.
>>122656464
So basically, it boild down to this:
- DeS - someone else starts the project - fails - Miyazaki takes over - win
- DaS - Miyazaki directs the game from the start - win
- DaS2 - Shibuya starts project - fails - Tanimura takes over, but Tanimura isn't Miyazaki so he does what he can - kinda fail
- BB - Miyazaki directs the game from the start - win
- DaS3 - someone else starts the project - fails - Miyazaki takes over - TBA
It seems to me that, at this moment, he's the only person at FROM truly capable of directing a Souls game.
>>122657848
Everyone knew this already dweeb.
>>122657848
yeah DWEEB
>>122657848
dks2 was still good
dks3 will just become a legend
>>122657457
>>122657848
There can only be one Big M. There's only room for one Big M.
>>122657848
If Tanimura was directing DS2 from beginning it could've been much better. He was involved in shadow tower abyss which was atmospheric as fuck and his DLC are goat.
>>122658389
But wasn't he co-director with Tanimura from the beginning ?
>>122657848
>- BB - Miyazaki directs the game from the start - win
hahahahaha
>>122658491
The very first DaS2 interview from December only mentioned Shibuya as director, with no mention of Tanimura.
http://www.polygon.com/2012/12/19/3783452/dark-souls-2-staff-discuss-the-vga-trailer-and-what-having-real
>Miyazak — who is moving from his previous director role to a supervising role, while Tomohiro Shibuya will step up to the director's chair
Also, this was the only Shibuya interview, ever. The ones the followed mentioned both Shibuya and Tanimura as co-directors, while only Tanimura was interviewed. The ones leading to the game's release only mentioend Tanimura as director.
>>122653482
Fuck I miss the dark hand being the best surprise nuke blocker. But ever since dark magic it's useless, despite it fully blocking 4kings dark magic.
They screwed up that one.
Just beat Kalameet and Manus. Kalameet had me stuck for almost a week and I beat Manus on my first try. You guys lied to me and told me Manus was super hard
Is there a guide to covenant jumping in DaS? I want to get as much completion in my first run as possible.
>>122657848
>Miyazaki directs the game from the start - win
Dunno, DaS is only half finished and BB has chalice dungeons.
But I guess if you ignore the bad for whatever reason the games are perfect.
>>122660134
Manus is a chump by the time Artorias and Kalameet are done wiping the floor with you. What's the .gif from?
>>122660230
Yeah, just join the covenants you like the most. They're not a big deal and most of them are PvP related. You have to go quite out of your way to actually max them anyway.
>>122660230
Honestly don't bother, covenants have minimal impact on your experience unless you're taking extended breaks for pvp and co-op throughout your playthrough.
Just pick one that suits your character and stick with it.

I found Kalameet pretty easy compared to Manus
>>122659431
wait, does the silver pendant block 4magic?
>>122660381
Artotias was for sure my favorite boss in this DLC.
>>122661008
Kalameet kept killing me during the end of recovery animations it was pretty much the only bullshit thing I've encounter in this game.
well I did it guys I beat the game just got done fighting Gwyn. I was at SL 100 as I was putting most of my points into my health. What a fucking ride this was. Thanks you guys for all the tips and junk when I asked for help

I fucking loved the way Gwyn's fight was handled. He wasn't even difficult, which actually works in the games favour because you can tell this guy is just a husk of the badass he used to be and you've just got to do what you've got to do. The music man, the music.

I don't know Manus was easy as fuck to dodge and his dark magic was easy to counter with my shield and the sliver pendent
yo someone buy me dks 1 i never got to play the ddlc
>>122662112
that shit is so fast never stop jumping around and the magic instakill you, while kalameet is very slow
>>122662285
Maybe you need to get gud at fighting Manus and I need to git gud at fighting Kalameet. Though I doubt I'll fight him again since he was optional and not very fun at all
>>122662098
Exactly
I thought it was a good idea
>>122662285
Depending on the shield you can defend yourself from even dark magic. the Sliver pendent is still needed but there is at least one dark magic attack that can be block via a shield
>>122662432

Is Richard's Rapier any good for invasions if you have a weapon buff or is the R2 attack still trash?
>>122666505
the r2 is bad in both games unless they're stuck in a corner and can't roll away
>Sunlight blade and sacred oath are given to a player basically at the end of the game
This is really off putting me from making a dex/faith build. That and the fact that there are lifegems in the game which act as a replacement for healing miracles. Why From for fucks sake
>gaywraiths can literally invade you without risking anything themselves even if they lose
why is this allowed?
I normally prefer thievish or roguish builds in rpgs, but knights in souls games are just so iconic and fun I end up going back to them quite frequently.
Do you all find that class archetype quite charming too?

>>122676151
Once it roars and readies to attack start running to where you think it'll land. Halberd running attacks are instant in water anyways for some reason, so it shouldn't be too hard. Alternatively, you can just take out a bow and shoot the body to death.
>>122676347

Hey Anons, need some advice.
I own a ps3, a ps4 and in the pcmasterrace. I have Dark Souls 2 with the three kings DLC for PS3. Beat it to death.
Currently on NG through Bloodborne.
>fucking love it.
Now DaS 2 is on sale at Humble for 25 bucks for PC.
Question:

I think you're best off not buying another copy of DaS2, though I understand the temptation since I have it on PS3 myself.
>>122682651
Your right anon. I don't have the Scholar DLC and haven't heard much good about it. I'm headlong in BB now.

Hey dsg what do you guys think about katanas in ds2. Ive recently started using the blacksteel and was wondering if it was considered cheesy or not
>>122686261
>is it cheesy
yes
>should you give a fuck
no
>>122686261
Katanas are easy parries for any non-trash player by now. Pick something else and don't be a weeb faggot.
How are the souls calculated that you get from an invasion?
>>122687363
I think it's 25% of your next level? Idk just wiki it
>>122687363
It's 10% of the host's required souls to level up.
>>122687363
Purely based on level in every game except for DaS2.
is there a good spot for sl90 coop? maybe o&s for ng+?
How about arrows get limited casts just like spells, different types of arrows give you more shots, arrows restore at bonfires
Because lets be honest does having to farm or buy arrows/bolts add to the game?
>>122687705
pc if it matters
>>122687716
seems kinda weird, but i'd take being able to make these at bonfires. maybe after buying an "arrow fletching kit"

>>122688081
It has a cap too, so your SM doesn't get bloated.
>>122688251
no its purely sl
you wont get much out of pre lorvessel stuff for sl90 unless you run into the occasional ng+ guy.
>>122688489
ok thanks. worst case scenario, ill have to start a new guy for the miracles or farm the shit out of chaos bugs
>>122688313
>It has a cap too, so your SM doesn't get bloated.
No it doesnt people just tend to stop leveling after a while, you gain 10% of the persons next level up cost when you invade and 37.5% of the person invading you if you kill them.
Ratbros reverse it and CBEOs don't give any souls for invasions.
Levelup costs are purely from SL and the rewards are purely from SL.
Why can enemies hit you through walls in ds2?

Got a vague question for DS2 pvp.
I'm using the Loyce Greatsword, but against quick opponets generally r3 i'm just having a hard time hitting them.
Is the solution to git gud or what? The longsword curved sword users are killing me to easy in the arena.
>>122693510
Big weapons always lose to smaller ones in DS2, this is fact.
>>122693510
Even though loyce gs is the best greatsword it still sucks ass against smaller faggot weapons.
It's one of the main reasons i fucking hate DS2 pvp.

google it
there is no in game way to respec in das1
worth putting on the fap ring on a sl1 run?
>>122696402
kinda missing the point of sl1 but sure
>>122696402
hardly, since the buffs are %. best to use rtsr since most things can oneshot you anyway
>>122696894
yeah just go naked and fists only like true men
fucking idiot
>>122691479
Lost Sinners Sword with any elemental infusion, it's best to start a new character and only get enough STR/DEX to one hand it (only because the second 1HR1 is somewhat of a sweep and can catch people offguard), or you could get half the STR and two hand it. Grab the corresponding spell buff of your infusion type for max damage, and make sure to keep your sin level as low as possible.
Alternatively you could go Raw infusion and use consumable buffs, either option is completely viable.
The LSS also has a really good counter multiplier, so trades will almost always work in your favour
>>122697019
you have 2 ring slots though
what would you use in the second over ring of fap?
>>122697198
depends on the build. bdc for casters is a given. maybe a chloranthy?
>>122697046
well you do a sl1 run because you have less hp and less stuff to hold. Because you know? its supposed to be a challenge? How am I an idiot?
>>122697430
i think the challenge is being able to do damage to bosses without quitting from boredom or ragequit
>>122697430
Because the whole point of a SL1 run is to be SL1. You can always give yourself more a challenge, don't upgrade your weapon, don't use bonfires, turn off your god damn monitor.
>>122698095
yes the whole point of sl1 is to at level 1. Moving on to books without pictures yet?
Are any of the maces quick enough to be viable for Ds2 pvp? Really love morning stars, probably going to use this. But want to pull out a quicker one if need be.
>>122694409
it's not like using an ultra greatsword with lolnopoise though, the loyce gs is fast enough to deal with them
>>122693510
force them to roll with the 2h poke R2 and try to catch them with the 2h R1, don't use the running attack
>>122683938

For all the shit DaS2 gets, it has some of the most KF-esque areas in the series.
>>122691479
ivory king ugs for its range and damage or fume ugs, the others are suboptimal
people decent with small weapons will shit on you though, a chance 99% of the people still playing das2 pvp are terrible
>>122700675
That actually works if you switch to the ring before the soul counter appears?

>>122700819
No wonder you had a tough time. That's a horrible weapon.
What the fuck is going on in ds2. Parry is shit, bs is shit, after about 5 enemies my rapier is at half durability. Jesus christ I have just beaten the pursuer and i don't want to play this shit fest anymore
>>122701679
It's definitely weaker than the first game, but all those reasons you listed (aside from durability) are you being a babby that can't adapt to changes.
>>122702009
i can adapt to changes if the changes are good, this is utter shit

Finally rounded out this piece of shit
Should I pump endurance until SL125 to mess with secondary weapons, or should I keep it at 100?
Spooped the shit out of me
I thought I didn't have Scholar content since I didn't buy the game again.
what AA should i use? i don't use now, does medium/high worth it? does it drop a lot of fps? i'm trying to stay close to 60
Anybody up for a DS1 PC co-op run?
>>122701679
Parrying is better and backstabbing is just harder.
Durability got fixed ages ago.
Cry harder faggot
>>122703269
>Parrying is better in Ds2
>>122702796
me too, one of the 2 things i liked about ds2, not being spooked but i thought his dialogue was interesting, a million times better than ''bearer seek seek least''
Why do I get an infinite loading screen when I invade sometimes? It's seemingly random.
>>122703269
>Parrying is better
oh lord almighty
sure durability got fixed, doesn't change the fact that my rapier gets fucked and i need to carry million repair powder just to go from one bonfire to the other
>>122703990
get 3 rapiers. this is why ds2 can carry 3 items, because everything break super fast
Total noob here who picked up the game literally one week ago.
I usually don't beg for infos, but my "dark souls" friend keep telling me to pay attention on how i build my char because it will greatly influence my own amusement\experience later on in the game.
Can someone tell me if i'm doing things correctly?
Before you start spilling your spaghetti, i know the drake sword is shit, i'm just goofing around with it.
I've managed to kill the Capra Demon with it, and i'm about to enter the depths.
I was using the +5 axe before i've realized i can do that fancy torpedo attack with the sword.I'm not even bothering to censor my name or whatsoever, i'm totally clueless about the game so any help is appreciated.

Decide what you want your character to be.
Put stats into what supports that idea.
If you want to use dex weapons, pump dex. If you want to use str weapons, pump str.
Getting enough attunement to cast a few pyromancies is never a bad idea. But don't pump faith or intelligence unless you definitely want to use spells or miracles.
The only wasted stat is resistance. Never pump resistance.
By the way:

>>122704525
You're doing fine so far
Drake Sword is a good earlygame weapon, it just eventually becomes obsolete.
Vitality and Endurance are always good investments
Never touch Resistance
Pick a weapon you like and raise Strength and/or Dex accordingly. Gargoyle Tail Axe is a good Dex weapon if you want to stick with that. Notably, Dex increases offensive spellcasting speed, so you could dabble in pyromancy like >>122704921 said. You meet your resident pyro buddy in the Depths.

Guys, if I get softbanned from DaS2 because of cheating (want to go offline and change some enemy placements to spice the game up), is there a chance I get softbanned from DaS3 too?
>>122706089
Not a chance. They're different games, they couldn't even legally do that IIRC.
>>122706089
Pretty sure that's wrong on so many levels, anon.
I do also believe that DS3 will not use the softbanning system used in DS2, that shit gave so many issues with players that maybe these godless japs will forget about it, eventually.
How can I tell if I've been softbanned?
I did lots of crazy shit a year ago, and now I've booted up NG again and haven't seen a single summon sign or been invaded once.
>Replay Demon Souls

Didn't know how strong daggers were. I sort of wrote them and thieves off as no damage fools. Gonna see how long I can go with starting soul level. Any daggers that I could use for end game?
Also, I never paid attention to where you get the jade hairpin for Stockpile Thomas. So his wife and daughter were killed, then strung up by the demons? Pretty rough. That also means the ragged clothes you get is his wife's clothing.
>>122706683
Send an email to Bandai or test it with friends.

There are tons of games that force a process-scan on your system to see if there are processes running which are being registered as malicious or intrusive.
Luckily enough, these systems are illegal in the western world, we're talking about asia-tier games.

>>122706785
Secret Dagger is slightly better and you can get one in 3-1
Parrying Dagger is basically the same as a regular Dagger but gives the obvious parrying frames bonus. Also in 3-1 but requires PWWT
Fatal Secret Dagger +5 with an offhand Parrying Dagger is a great setup if you're willing to go shieldless.
That's about all I can think of. The only other Dagger is a weak weapon that only exists to inflict plague.

It is a bit of a shame that they don't use unique corpses for what are implied to be his daughter and wife. It's just two dead guys, so you have to sorta pretend.
>>122708056
What about upgrade paths though?
Just bought Scholar of the First Sin for my Xbone. Already played through DS2 on my 360, what can I expect in this version? How do I play the DLC?
>>122712946
>What about upgrade paths though?
I already mentioned that
Fatal increases backstab/parry damage, it's only available on daggers and thrusting weapons. Really useful for a dickass build.
>>122713062
The DLC keys are in unique areas in Scholar. I honestly forget where the other two are but I'm pretty sure the one for the Iron King is in the Fire Salamander area of the Giant Forest.
>>122713062
3 keys.
Poison DLC: get the forgotten key from the giants near the end of Black Gulch, then go down the Pit again and open the door above some of the planks, grab the key on the corpse near the 3 chests
Fire DLC: deactivate the bull heads and grab the key in front of the first bull head you see in Iron Keep, with that key, open the door before the Last Giant and grab the key on the corpse near the salamander that throws fireballs down the path to grab the fire Longsword
Ice DLC: the key is just lying on the ground in the room after the statues and the Ruin Sentinels in Drangleic Castle, down the main path
Steam is down

Fantasy weapons are silly. Where's a proper sword?

Is powerstancing shit in general or is it just for the high str weapons?
>>122721479
people say that chaos blade is better but i don't know why
>>122721479
The tracer effect looks cool, the weapon itself looks like hot garbage. It's also not that effective of a weapon because of split damage that mainly relies on fire instead of physical.
Makes a nice weapon for a Dex/pyromancer build though.
underrated armor
>>122722534
198 phys/308 fire is pretty alright damage
It outdamages a Chaos Falchion and has a more interesting moveset, and that's all you can really hope for from it.

I only need one fragment to get Outcry for the pyromancy trophy but the Memory of the Iron King is some serious bullshit. Having to go through a billion knights every time I die to Alonne is no fun.

How?
>>122729316
Some bullshit involving using cheat engine to change invasion zones, and then the invader setting his hostility status to something other than an invading phantom to attack the NPCs in another person's world.
Thank fuck I can just use CE to get the NPCs back anyway.
Just for once...
let me look on you...
with my own eyes.
How'd I do?
Heehee, thought this was pretty funny with the other phantom in the background looking at his chime.
Do you need to be in online mode to summon NPC phantoms in DS1?
I'm trying to summon Solaire for Ornstein and Smough, but I can't see his summon sign where it's supposed to be.Also can he die forever in that fight? What happens if I die?
>>122730784
You don't need to be online.
Would this build be fun to invade with? Thinking mostly dukes and tomb of the giants, maybe izalith.

>>122730990
Man, this build makes me want durability on rings in Ds1. I could imagine chasing someone onto the lava in izalith, using tranquil walk, then blasting them with acid surges until their ring broke and they died to lava.
I can't remember how to get to Doors Of Pharros. Can someone point the way?

whats used now?
>>122733337
Kellogs moveset is fucking trash plus you need to be close. With a spear you can hit from far away and basically ensure you will never get hit.
But it's funny to see people running kellogs at high level, it's almost as bad as seeing a high level with a drake sword. You just know they are a fucking shitter and are free souls/humanity.
>>122733825
>Kellogs moveset is fucking trash plus
In what way? I like how you wanna keep believing this while failing to prove it and also being proven wrong.
>you need to be close
No you don't. It has good range. I know you'll go on thinking you still have a good point about this for some reason, but this makes me believe you've never even used the weapon.
>With a spear you can hit from far away and basically ensure you will never get hit.
Spears don't make you invincible and they do bad damage.
>But it's funny to see people running kellogs at high level, it's almost as bad as seeing a high level with a drake sword. You just know they are a fucking shitter and are free souls/humanity.
That's what everyone says about scrub stomping builds then they get killed by them.
>does quick, broad, mid-long range swipes
>"fucking trash moveset"
I have never bled in a Souls game.
Only curved blades cause bleeding right? That's lame. All weapons should have a small amount of bleeding chance.
Why did the other primordial serpents show up at the end? Are Kaathe, Frampt and the rest all many heads of the same creature? Why are those two the only ones who try to influence you?
>>122734464
The bandit's knife and katanas also cause bleeding but that would be annoying because then we'd constantly have to see the bleed buildup bar for every weapon.
>>122734464
there are a few other random weapons that cause bleed as well, scythes and flamberge(?) come to mind
>>122734503

That looks hilarious.
What are the actual odds of getting more casts of great fireball, flame swathe, etc from mobs in DS2? I feel like a bitch using CE but i also don't care to grind for drops. Forbidden Sun is different, of course.
I am so fucking sick of DaS 2 swarming me with 4+ enemies at once the first game never did this shit FUCK YOUJ

I'm considering upgrading to Scholar, adise from the DLC what else does it come with? I heard the graphics were upgraded but by how much? Also looking for other general things.
>>122742459
Scholar seriously changes enough that you should do at least one playthrough of vanilla DS2 before you buy it. Good value.
For example, it changes the spot of that Heide knight.
>can buff infused weapons
>can't resin infused weapons
>>122742516
The graphics are so bad though and it's taking away from the game play experience. I'm playing in 1440p so it really looks like dogshit and I don't want the trouble of installing ENB if Scholar will make it look good ya know?
>estus flask shards

>>122742617
Scholar changes graphics for the better, yeah. The new lighting effects are just so insanely crisp and beautiful to look at.
>Idling in the huntsman copse for 2 hours straight
>Got 2 titanite chunks from 'winning' bellkeeper summons while I was away
What the actual fuck
>>122742346
Not to mention shit hitboxes, awkward controls that have you swinging at air unless you insert deliberate pauses in your actions, and enemies whose attacks have misleading windups (especially the sanic knights). I just beat my last boss in Scholar and the game is overall really fucking frustrating. DS1 usually felt challenging but fair... at least until you learned how to break the game, but that is no less true of DS2: Bonfire Ascetic Edition.

>>122743947
Are they paced out better in SotfS, or were they changed just as a "Dark Souls 2 Master Quest" thing to add replay value?
This is probably a retarded question.
I want to make the Dragonslayer Spear. It says I need a +10 spear.
Does it change anything if I use a regular spear or can get my lightning spear to +10 for extra stats or anything like that?
>>122744083
At the very least the damage is good.
>>122744224
The easiest way is to just downgrade the lightning spear into a normal +10 weapon.
Yeah I know, the ascension system is fucking stupid in DaS1.
>>122744360
Alright then.
Too bad I didn't get the helmet from the gargoyles. I'm like 2 pieces of equipment away from all of my gear.
>>122744438
You realize if you don't get the gargoyle helm, the second gargoyle you fight in anor londo drops all the gargoyle gear.
>>122744438
Isn't it guaranteed in Anor Londo?
>>122744612
>>122744652
Huh. I only saw 1 gargoyle in Anor Londo.
>>122744659
Wait. There was a 2nd one. 1 where you first walk out onto the platform and can't reach the spiraling staircase, and the 2nd on it. But I must have missed the drop.
God damn it.
>>122744659
After you go down the elevator you fight one, then after you walk on the beams of death and turn the staircase thing a second gargoyle comes.
>>122744739
I can drop you the helm. What SL and Platform?
>>122744849
Oh, I don't have an online account. It's fine. I'll use the other crown thing when I get it.
I'll probably like it better to see if I can reasonably get back to quickrolling after putting all that heavy shit on.
I'm also not too upset about wearing this gold-hemmed armor in the meantime. Shit's good.
>>122744113You'll most likely only have 7 +1 Estus by the end of your journey.

I would be inclined to agree with you, but I've become so proficient at these games that farming is the only thing keeping my runs longer than 5-10 hours and once i'm done with a run I get real bored, so I want them to last.
>>122749694
It's a Japanese game. There will be more grinding.
>used my Twinkling Titanite before duping them
>>122749694
>i hate secrets
>spoonfeed me every item in the game boo hoo
I agree that grinding should be avoided as much as possible, but it's cool that items like the DaS1 Pickaxe exist, where you can beat the game 5 times and still not know it's there, unless you get lucky or read a wiki.
The ideal is to put most of those kinds of things behind tail cuts, covenant rewards, NPC invasions, killing non-hostile NPCs, etc. DaS3 isn't using tail cuts at all though of course.
>>122750117
You can farm them after you kill Seath, or farm souls and buy them in Anor Londo

Why does undead rapport say "can be used by either gender"?
Are there any gender specific spells in this game?
>>122750279
To specify that it's not just a "haha come get me boys ;)" spell for girls, I guess.
Charm spells in fantasy settings tend to involve some form of seduction, so they wanted it to be clear that male characters can use it just as effectively.
But no, there aren't any gender restrictions whatsoever in the game.
>>122750140
What's with the kneejerk reaction?
>>122749694
This.
I hate grinding and farming for common items.
Just let me trade in souls for them.
It's like playing an MMO, feels useless and degrading.
>>122750140
I'd agree with you, since the pickaxe is basically worthless, but when items like the BSS are locked behind ridiculous RNG restrictions then it gets pretty annoying.
Maybe just have all good items can be bought from vendors, but items just for lore or just for looks/neatness/coolness be RNG only.
>>122750556
>but items just for lore or just for looks/neatness/coolness be RNG only
Since when has the Souls series been only about using good items?
>>122750556
>since the pickaxe is basically worthless
It has good strength scaling and it can deal counter damage with a swinging attack
It's a niche weapon but it's solid
>BSS
Probably wasn't intended to be an overpowered meme weapon.
The goal should be to make all of the weapons viable without having any of them totally dominate their role in the game.
>>122749694
As long as it's not as bad as DaS2's farming system then I will be happy (mad warrior, catarina armor, loyce souls, etc).
OKAY. Who wants to help Lord Vader go through the Iron King DLC to kill Fume Knight?

the developers most likely planned on some male-female separation. it's not too unlikely that it would include stat differences like it was discussed here a few threads ago. undead rapport, rickerts robes from ds1 and some some priest/priestess and sorcerer robes from ds2 hint that way. it was probably scrapped for the same reason LI is steaming pile of hot shit

>>122751667
How is it a meme? The meme is "shockwaves". Lingering hitboxes are very much a thing. Example, smough/ornsteins lightning butt stomp. If you run at it after the animation has already ended you can still get hit, same with stray/firesage demons.

>hurr-durr, they tend to parry for no real reason
Are you fucking dense? They enter that parry stance when they want to parry your attack -- much like rapier-wielding balder knights in DkS1.
Does domino mask still has a retarded 15% HP penalty in SOTFS?
>>122751756
>Orma & Reeves
>lingering hitboxes
They don't have lingering hitboxes, for fuck's sake. People get hit by those things, because they are retarded and can't account for the fact that shields have VERY long attack animations -- you actually have to wait around a second or so after the animation has started before rolling.

But they do. Each shield hits everything on it's trajectory (picrelated - my shitty paint skills), then they collide in front of your character and deal double the individual shield damage. In other words, when you land an attack, there are two damage instances.
>>122754568
Just makes me smile, knowing some things will always be.
>>122756627
All right, it appears to me you don't even what the fuck lingering hitbox means. Also:
>when they collide in front, the hit at the sides too
You've got test data to back that up, right? Because otherwise you are just a lying piece of shit.

>>122781425
>omnidirectional rolling
Confirmed in.
>just using the old animations
Some are new, some are reused like From likes to do, some are clearly placeholders.
>INSTANT BACKSTABS RETURNING
Wrong again.
>>122781425
Dude, They're taking all the improvements of ds2 and putting it into ds1 gameplay. Now backstabs are even harder than ds2
>>122781642
>Confirmed in.
Then why does every DaS3 pvp vid I see look like there's only 4-way rolling when locked on? There's absolutely nothing returning from DaS2 like that.
>clearly placeholders
This is the same argument as "b-but the game isn't out yet!", aka a completely stupid one. The game is only 3 months or so from release, there's no way those aren't the final animations and I'll eat my preorder copy if I'm proven wrong.
Remind me which DaS1 boss is actually the worst in the entire franchise and most hated in /dsg/. Hint:it's not Bed of Chaos.
So whats the best soul memory to have, if i want to be summoned by the looking glass knight?
>>122782009
Shouldn't you be in bed, shitposter-kun? You usually start this at about 3 in the morning because you're such a fat lonely NEET loser and that's when you normally wake up.
>>122781917
>Then why does every DaS3 pvp vid I see look like there's only 4-way rolling when locked on?
The rolling has just four different animations. Forward roll, two siderolls and a backroll. The directions in between the cardinal directions use the side roll animation. It's just an unfinised animation so it looks weird. DaS2 used a forward roll animation for every roll.
>>122781770
ffs it's applied from hilt to tip; not tip to hilt.
>>122781917
I dont see whats wrong with the "the game isn't out yet" argument. Like really, you dont judge an entire game based on the beta/network test. Whats the deal.
>>122782279
>>122781770

Not very funny, niggers.
>>122782395
Are you stupid or are you actually ignorant of the fact?
Look at literally any 'pre-alpha'/'beta'/etc video for any video game ever made. When you go to those areas as shown in the final game, absolutely nothing has changed. Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2 did this as well. What makes you think Dark Souls 3 will be any different?
For the Souls series specifically, the network test versions are just that; to test the online connectivity. Every other asset of the game is 99% complete, or else they wouldn't let you test it. It's common sense.
Why do people say DaS1 is unfinished? I don't even think there is that much a drop in quality of area design after Anor Londo as i often read on /v/. Lost Izalith could have been much more, but the other Lord's Souls areas are fine.
>>122782736
Until Menas gets this good, he'll always be a deviantart-tier artist.
>>122782736
Obviously it's not flawless if he forgot which way Resin is applied and how to draw a straight greatsword actually straight.
>>122782932
Wait, is the 4kings shitposter the artist Menas? I haven't been here for like a year but I remember the 4kings shitposter.
>>122782836
Because it was obvious, and also stated multiple times? Every souls game has been rushed, look at the broken archstone from Demon's Souls and so on. It doesn't really stop DaS1 from being a good game but it's really disappointing to see what it further could have become.
I don't really like the "pacing gets worse after Anor Londo" argument because it's a bit subjective. I will state that it's easy to see how unfinished an area like Lost Izalith is if you look over the walls on the staircase to the Bed of Chaos (which Miyazaki has apologized for since it's a terrible rushed boss) to see an untextured void beyond the railing. They couldn't even fill in that empty space at all.

Bloodborne changed a bunch. From yharnam being all nightly and foggy, the cleric beasts theme, that grass you could eat, the notes, the hud, the kick, gascoignes lines as he killed you, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. Not sure about ds2, didn't play that.
