First for arena/duel fags are fucking cancer that ruin this series.
When you put fire or bolt gems on a weapon does it's weapon model change to look like when it's buffed or does it only show it on attack?
I really want a high quality version of the OST in the DLC and not that compressed shit. WHEN?
best starting background for skl/arc build?
>>124096603
Only VFX when you actually hit something.
this isn't fair
Halp!
Does anyone have a link to the Steam page where I can buy this? It's not showing up in search and I can't find it through Google either.
I was gonna just pirate it since the PvP servers are down for 'a few days' anyway, but I can't find any torrents.
gib link for science!

So, Kos was just a big version of those tentacle monsters in Nightmare Frontier?
I was expecting a more fantastic version of Ebrietas with more cosmic glowing elements.
>>124096842
Here is your (you)
I decided what my next character's gonna look like.
Behold! She will live again!
What are you strength players using to invade? I have Amy arm, beast cutter and the pizzaroni pepperoni at 9 or 10, but it feels like pizza cutter is the best. R1 hits multiple people rushing you and the big damage makes them back up immediately. Amy arm is alright, beast cutter is worse damage but better range, once used it to hold down Brador's bridge for 20 minutes against a host and cooperators. Will be very difficult to hit a good player with though.
>>124096574
xth for PVP in this game is cancer because you can only invade in certain areas with any reliability and otherwise you can only invade someone with a cooperator who's usually right next to a nightmare fog door
i understand why arena / duel fags exist, because it's enjoyable to test your PVP skills in a sterile, fair environment. few games offer enjoyable, fast paced melee PVP like this.

Past Gascoine you're drowning in enough blood echoes to buy them at the store.

No because most people are proficient enough and later areas and lower depth of chalices shower you with blood echoes.

>Not keeping your vials and bullets stocked at 600
Seriously, I'm getting enough echoes from co-oping Maria and Orphan that I literally haven't farmed since the DLC came out. As long as you make the big investment early on, its easy to keep adding to it than it is to only buy them when you run out or go farm.
>>124098101
Fuck me, i thought 70 was bad. Off to go farming i guess. I could only imagine what a full 31% gemmed bowblade could do at 50 blt.

>>124097985
If you spent all the souls you got leveling you'd be over leveled. Usually the amount from a boss is enough to level you appropriately. Either way the grass system was broken because it was so plentiful and the item burden system barely limited the amount you could carry
>>124097623
Holy shit.
>>124098196
Where I exactly did I say that BB is shit?

What is this? Like you press a button and bosses do something? Because if thats what you mean then I agree. The old giant does this a lot. If you are far from him and heal he will always leap attack you.

So i have a STR/ARC character (25/40) and is aiming for the MLGS
But could i use of the Bowblade with the correct gems, or do you need to be SKL/Blood to make good use of it?
>>124098706
Arc applies to every hit, it's just like the BoM or Burial Blade. It's not worth leveling arc for damage or using arc gems on it.
>>124098706
I don't have any Idea, that's why I'm asking.
>>124098734

I still don't get why people think this is evidence of a remaster in anyway. It's not like SCEJ bringing up DeS when posting shit about BB is an unusual thing or something.
>>124098992
Sony is gonna have a conference in like 2 days called Playstation Experience. Last year was pretty legit.
>>124098036
If you had to make any argument for this you should have made the argument that gun parrying is a stupid mechanic that punishes players for being aggressive.
>>124098857
Not him, but anon if you're really, really concerned about tossing a couple extra souls at the bath, then maybe you shouldn't be chugging vials every five seconds.
It's always the easy way out to blame the game when bottom line you're the one who has to farm vials with enough consistency to bitch about it in the first place.
>>124098779
You're not reading those fake patch notes, are you anon?
>>124099239
I think it's just shitposting at this point.
what did this new update that came out today fix?
>>124098992
Souls is weird when you think about it, DeS has two spiritual sequels, one's multiplatform and spawned a trilogy, the other is another exclusive that breaks the naming convention.
>>124098602
It's some loser trying to promote his silly idea or some other loser mocking his idea for being silly. In either case it was old news ages ago, it can only cause division and now we have a block of text for an OP image. I'm not as bothered as I seem, threads only last a few hours anyway these days
>>124098036
It does reward offensive play though. Go equip the loch shield and turtle in front of literally any boss. See what happens.
What did the patch actually do ?
>>124098541
I'm a BL98 shitter, but with the password system, you can obviously work with anyone. I find regular summoning at the DLC around my level. Probably more when I was BL80, but that could just be that the DLC was brand new then.
>>124099319
People getting into the DLC for free and 'NPC death status', whatever the fuck that was about
>>124099183
I havent played pvp and dont care for it anyway
My point is that the game frequently punishes the player for playing agressive in its monster design and controls, just like dark souls did. You don't get anything out of passive play anymore sure, but that doesn't mean offense is actively encouraged either, it's just a weird game where you kind of weave in and out and do one attack each time unless you have the sheer damage output to trump game balance
>>124099158
Well you never know.
Could be something and it could just be nothing.
I hope it's something, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. But it is still relevant.
I want an option to disable blood echoes from chalice dungeons.
Early ones at least.

>Went through the entire DLC and never found the key to unlock Japanese man, never found Loch Shield and never found Rakuyo
Damn, I thought I was being thorough.
>>124099484
well, we should hear something on saturday, if there's anything. Though there's supposedly 3 console exclusives in the works, but that comes from a source that's not necessarily 100% reliable.
so I want to play in PVP but I have nojemz. I've never touched chalice dungeons beyond a few little excursions.
Is it worth the massive hassle?
>>124099670
Totally is. Gems make pretty much any weapon you can wield viable atleast somewhat.
>>124099615
You get the key in the 2nd hamlet lanturn hut. Talk to the guy lying on the floor for it and the bowblade. Rakuyo is down the well in the hamlet, have fun with that. Loch shield is in the research ward, on a platform you can only access after you've moved the stairs the first time. Just go back through and explore and you're sure to find it.
>>124099670
if you have the dlc just farm the winter lanterns before the orphan fight for a few minutes, you can get some pvp ready gems from them
>want to use the cool weapons like Rakuyo
>but also assmad and insecure about everyone else using them

>>124099463
>"Already Dead" NPC behind forest door changed to "Already dead"
>>124099670
Get 19% gems from mensis or even better dlc brain gems from fish central and if it's not good then do the chalices.
>>124099615
Loch shield at least is definitely missable. Gotta make a tricky jump for it.
Ryukuo is down a well with two murderous orca/fish giants
And the key you get from Harrowed. How did you not get the key if you got the Bow and everything else?
>farming fire radials in layer 2 of the first CD
I bet this is what hell's like
Do the shots of the bowblade apply status effects? I dumped like 50 shots with 10 rapid poison attack into Loran Darkbeast and nothing happened.
What the hell can I parry in phase 2 OoK? I need to do visceral attacks since my build is shite.
>>124099864
At least you can use BoM now
But seriously this game has so few weapons don't be a fag and use what you like.
>>124099670
put on some music and speedrun your way to depth 5 nirvana anon
looking at the bb level range calculator it seems like bl99 can avoid bl150. are you guys doing bl98 just to be on the safe side?
>>124099670
Assuming you're on a physical damage build and have the DLC, you can farm 22% gems off of the brains before the OoK fight
Compared to the 27%'s in dungeons, you'd be missing out on about 15% damage total which isn't too huge
I'd say chalices are worth going through anyway because it can be fun and more content to play through, but if you just want gems and don't mind settling for 22%'s then it's not required whatsoever
>using Saif in PVP
>do well with the extended form and using its transform attacks

When you move the stairs you can walk on that 'balcony' part.
>>124099997

Raindbow Six has more gameplay than Battlefront. Fun game but has so many netcode problems.

>>124100216
i honestly cannot see people playin battlefront this long. theres guys at 50 rank already and dont know how they fuckin do it. one map rotation and then i start questioning myself for playing such shallow shit for that long

Small jump - just get the timing right, it's not that hard.
Big jump with dripping blood - start sprinting in any direction where you have enough free space.

>>124100286
the short jump is relatively easy to dodge roll.
the one where he lingers in the ceiling for several settings, you can consistently avoid by sprinting away in a straight line.
Does anyone have some good examples of a BLT/Skill build? I can't figure out if going for the full 50BLT is worth cutting off access to some nifty skill weapons.
Is it normal that str is pretty underwhelming at the start? I ran skl and a blt build and never had much problems but right now it feels much slower. Kirkhammer while cool looking isn't that strong compared how it swings. Does it get better?
Does lobos have a hearing aid or something? He has this weird "tube" thing behind his ears.
>>124100286
Sprint to go out of range or look up to see when he's falling and roll out
My friend who is pretty shit at the game and barely got back into it for the dlc dodged every single ludwig jump slam but still died to other things, so it can't be that hard, and he got stuck on Amelia for a long while that playthrough

>Dark Souls 3 has a return to Lordran section or a callback in the form of a boss like infested Solaire or Kaathe/Frampt double sided dildo gangbang
It's all I want. Ornstein being in Dark Souls 2 made no real sense from any standpoint to me. I just want to get one more callback to Dark Souls before the story ends forever.

Reposting since I'm sure there's a lot more people awake now than there were yesterday
Basically, there's a chance your HDMI cable is all sorts of fucked so the Bloodborne you're playing is a dull piece of shit full of washed out colors and disgusting contrast.
To fix this, Just go into Settings > Sound and Screen > Video Output Settings and on RGB Range change it from automatic to full. Hell, keep the game on when you do this so you can see the difference immediately.
Colors are mode vibrant and pop out more, dark area's are now genuinely dark, lights like torches are now rich and actually useful, ext...

One question from reading op pic.
Does the real world yo awake in when gerhman kill you have beast?
Cause the werewolf that emergs from blood at the start of the game seems to emerge when you are passing into the dream realm

aw thats why, i was sprinting away
bloodletter is big fun and doin 1k damage off a l2 while not having to worry about being frenzied is so nice.
swings so fuckin fast too but i dont feel like playing with it anymore. you get it so late
>>124100665
Well it's not wireless. The tube goes from one ear to the other (behind his neck) and then goes down his back. And it's not on top of/in his ears so I find it weird that it would be a headset
I don't understand one thing, guys. Why do people think that it was Oedon that impregnated the women during the red moon? Is there any real evidence to back this up?
Logically it makes more sense for Mergo to be active during the low moon. He is formless like Oedon, and possibly his very son (the Pthumerian Queen would be his mother in this scenario, to explain her presence near the boss room and the bloody abdomen). This would also explain the Tomb of Oedon: he's really dead just like Kos is (to bring its child to life, perhaps), or maybe he was just killed during the Pthumerian era. We kow some buildings in Yharnam date back to an ancient era because the very city is named like the ancient queen, suggesting a strong connection, so it's not impossible that the tomb and the church date back to Oedon's and the Phtumerian's time.
Mergo is present all over the city during the red moon, proven by his crying, so it makes more sense for him to actually try and give birth to another spawn. I don't think we should use the logic "it's a child so it can't have babies" since he may be centuries old, and besides he's a fucking cosmic entity. We know that Mergo's actions are not entirely connected to Mensis scholars, because their initual ritual seemly failed and their brain went into "stillbirth", trapping them into the nightmare while killing their physical bodies, even if they aren't aware of it (as it seems like when listening to Micolash' dying words, when he says he will forget everything, even if his real body is dead)
What do you think, anons?
>>124100464
They're really fun. Bloodborne is like one playstyle of dark souls expanded on and taken to an extreme, you'll find souls games feel more multifacetted while having similar exploration and world design.
BB-onlyfags seem to get caught up on the fact that souls game weapons have smaller movesets, but you realize when you actually play them that it doesn't really make that much of a difference. The combat systems amount to being about the same depth despite their differences.

This makes me really nostalgic.

You should play it because it's a wonderful game.

Just get into the habit of buying a few every time you have some left over echos. They build up surprisingly fast.
>>124101343
The 3 DLC's really fleshed out the DaS2 experience for me though. Made the game feel truly complete. Although world cohesion is still shit in that game.
>>124101343
>Demon's Souls is basically bloodborne with more mechanics.
DeS didn't even have a jump button or falling attack m8.
Do you guys have certain expectations for players with certain weapons or armors?
Like you show up to someone else's world and you see a host using THAT weapon on the boss and you just know for sure it's going to be a FUN/Shitty experience?
>>124101406
its a let down. As a stand alone game its pretty good but because its a souls game it doesn't stand up to the quality of the other 3. 1 step forward 2 steps back

Going from 40 - 50 only nets you ~80 - 100 HP when invading thanks to the bullshit that is how percentages work, so it'd hardly save you.
>>124101406
Put about as simply as possible, it does everything differently from the other games in the series. Unfortunately, in this case 'different' very much means 'worse'.
People give the DLCs praise for making the same seem less like the rushed quick cash job it turned into at some point during development, and it definitely helps the experience, but the negative space is still very apparent.
>>124101073
The Mensis ritual is birthing Mergo in to the world. Mergo is one of the children birthed when the moon descends, and the fact that it's never seen and only experienced through voice implies that it's Oedon's child. If one of the children birthed during the moon's descent is Oedon's, then it does stand to reason that all of them are, or at least most of them. Bear in mind that the whore never fucked an alien, so the fact that she went from 0 to third trimester when Rom dies would seem to imply that her conception was immaculate. Oedon, a formless being that exists within voice and blood, would be the only candidate for having impregnated her. In other words, the pregnancy came from her blood itself: her special, forbidden blood.
Got a second blood rock from the DLC. Don't know what to put it on. I'm afraid I'll instantly regret it.
>>124101427

the hitboxes

lack of weapon variety for the majority of the playthrough, forcing you to invest in a generic starter weapon from the blacksmith
etc

no, but it had tendency, item burden, equip burden and more stats among various other things
I honestly consider BB to be DeS: lite in how they both play.

>Ornstein being in Dark Souls 2 made no real sense from any standpoint to me
Only good explanation would be the church summoning him from the abyss to fight for them.
But I'm with you. Izalith in Eleum Loyce was amazing and seeing Havel and such in the abyss was great as well. I'm hoping for a few things:
>Ivory King's Wife
>the return all of the Manus incarnations into forming and fighting a new Manus
>Kaathe/Frampt
>Some of the Lords of Cinder being your character from Dark Souls 1 and 2. Saved data used to see these Lords of Cinder.
>Random people in the Abyss again
Kos iscute.
>>124101805
There are 3 more 'free' rocks in chalice chests and as much as you willing to grind for in depth 5 dungeons.
>>124101862
Is Kos a boy penis or a feminine penis?
>>124101862
You know, if I could figure out where to stick it in, I'd probably do her.
I'm working my way through the chalice dungeons and my next step is to head to the defiled dungeon. However, I don't seem to have the required chalice, but I do have the cursed and defiled one. I'm really confused. I understand the Bloodletting Beast should have dropped the defiled chalice, but he didn't.
>>124101427
>>124101818

But actually how do I parry Placenta man in v2?

Just got on a character that never did the ritual for pthumeru ihyll and now I have an ihyll chalice on one of the gravestone sites that says it's fully completed. I don't even have the ihyll root chalice so this is one weird glitch. Should be able to get it if I co-op for BLB, yeah?

Where does it say that the Mensis ritual aims to spawn Mergo? I thought the scholars only sought ascension to a higher plane of existence and just had very different methods from the Choire or Byrgenwerth
>>124102003
try searching for a defiled chalice
wma2 is the public one I think
>>124101982

>>124101406
It's just a meme. DaS2 is arguably the worst entry in the souls series, mainly due to its weak world and level design compared to its predecessors and the strange decision to tie iframes to a stat at set breakpoints, but never clearly indicate that function of the stat to the player or where the arbitrary improvements points lie. Soul memory was also a really shitty multiplayer system and the lack of a full eye orb for unlimited invading is a kick in the nuts, though it's not like the rest of the souls games (or BB for that matter) don't have infuriating and stupid issues with their multiplayer system.
Mechanically, it improves on the combat and is both the longest souls game and the one with the most variety of weapons, armor, unique movesets, spells, viable build/playstyle, etc. Of course, none of this matters to some people, who condemn it primarily for the unforgivable crime of being the successor to Dark Souls 1. You really can't compete with rose-tinted goggles.
>>124101320
Yeah but I switched to kirkhammer as soon as I could. I probably will grab the whirling saw from the dlc now but still feels weaker than skl saw spear and much lower dps.

>mechanically, it improves on the combat
>>124102096
>and just had very different methods from the Choire or Byrgenwerth
It's mentioned somewhere that the Mensis School and the Choir together form the leadership of the healing church. They're just 2 sides of the same coin, 2 divisions of the same organization that are in co-operation with one another. Their methods aren't really any different from Byrgenwerth's, they're more or less the successor to it.
Birthing Mergo, the "nightmare newborn" was their method of ascending to the higher plane. They were beckoning a Great One by helping to provide it with a surrogate child. It's like a contract. It's implied that Gehrman did the same to contact the moon presence and create the hunter's dream, hence why the leftover umbilical cord is on the table in the old workshop.
>>124102420
Try completing the cursed and defiled one
Or just roll back a save
So I'm a level 50 blt build...struggling because I'm still weak. skl is at 25, and I'm using +6 BoM. Unfortunately they hit like garbage. I went to fight Simon to get the bladebow early and I was doing 20 damage per hit to him.
I went to try to kill Logarius to get Chikage, but no matter how hard I tried, I just do no damage, I actually got him to about 10% before getting my face smashed in last time.
So I figure, maybe I figure out how high I can go for SKL and dump that OR see if someone can help me kill Logarius so I can get a weapon that will do more than tickle.
Side note...did BoM always suck this hard for PvE (at least at lower levels)?
>>124102334
NAIL HIM TO THE CROSS BOYS
>>124102334
It also has a shit story that completely ruins the entire plot of das1 and ruins it's own plot with "muh cycles"
Why play the game at all? What is my motivation if the game will just repeat in some future time because of "muh cycle"? Why completely demolish the story of the previous game?
This is why the souls series doesn't need sequels. It needs "spiritual successors". Dark Souls 3 will probably have just as shit story, but at least all the other problems b-team implemented will be fixed.
>>124102334
Some people must just prefer quality over quantity.
>>124102430
meant small bell. sorry. It seems I have to kill those two nun bitches upstairs.
>>124102760
I just killed Logarius alone last night before servers came up, all I really did was parry fish.
I'd offer to come help but I've got the flu so I'm going to take a nap. If you need help later I'll come.
>>124102334
>muh 8 directional rolling when locked on
That's not an improvement m8. That's just handholding. In the previous games you could 8 directional roll but you had to sacrifice being completely precise with lock on. If you wanted lockon to handhold you, they take away some of your rolling options.
>>124102760
BoM is kind of shit, just try to kill logarius with the cane or something
chikage will give you the damage you need
my BL116 skl/blt has 44/50 skl/blt
Any tips for the Boom Hammer? It seems like a really neat weapon but it also doesn't feel like I'm using it correctly.
>>124102928
Bloodborne also has 8-direction dodging, and your dodge even has faster recovery while locked on. That's like the pinnacle of handholding.
>>124102760
Grab a saw weapon, doesn't matter which one
Eat a Beast Blood Pellet
Spam transform attack spam to fill the meter, then R1 anything to oblivion
Got me through the game until I got chikage.
>>124102792
Thank you. When I got to this point in Dark Souls 2, I finished the game still but from that point on it felt like nothing I did mattered.
I mean you can look at it two ways I think:
>You're the hero saving the world
Meh, this shit has risen and exploded, started all over hundreds of times. Why bother? Trying to preserve it is going against the flow.
>You're experiencing this crazy world after the party already happened, and trying to survive while you piece together what happened.
Well, as soon as you plop into Dark Souls 2 and find out it keeps repeating with new names, etc...it's useless to find out who what why about gwyn and co. It's just a cycle of light/dark and any details beyond that are pointless.
>>124102918
Thats what I was trying to do. Thanks man, I've got the flu as well. Get better.
>>124102967
Thanks for the stats, I wasn't sure where to go there yet. What's your end/vit? I'm sitting on like 15 vit, 12 end.

Which is about as fleshed out as covenants in BB kek.
>item burden
That was legitimately a horrible item and there's no defending it. Even with 40END you could barely carry shit.
>equip burden
Utterly pointless, even the mid roll was fast as hell. DaS implemented it much better by giving far more noticeable differences, including increased i-frames to separate roll speeds.
>and more stats
Are you implying Luck and Intelligence deserve to be counted as stats? Both poorly designed, your MP should increase with your level of Sorcery/Faith.
>among various other things
What various other things? Less armour? Because DeS had less armour sets, as well as those armour sets being split between male and female so it was narrowed down even farther.
On top of bosses generally only having a single 'phase' and their movesets incredibly limited.
And this isn't even mentioning how much more advanced the trick weapon system is to DeS' combat, with easily 3 - 4x the combos of any weapons in DeS.
I love DeS and was there in the import days, but it's easily the one game in the series with the least variety m8.
>>124102750
This Cursed and Defiled chalice seems to have the same description and requirements as the other one. The item didn't get renamed, did it? That might explain why it has the same description and requirements as the one I thought I was looking for.
This is what I get for taking a break from this game for half a year. I don't really remember what chalice-related stuff I did back then. Fuck this game.
>>124103082
Bloodborne is a different game. It needs that fast shit because of "cuhrayzee" gameplay.
>>124102684
But that cannot be, because Yharnam birthed Mergo and she is clearly older than whatever Mensis had in mind. It just doesn't add up if we say that she's the mother, but how could she not be?
>>124103206
Not enough bullets to eat through a boss. My blt is at like 20 and while the gun has significant damage (repeater) it still doesn't hit very hard. I have evelyn too. I still don't remember the difference between what situation people used which.

I don't really see the point in going very far about base end for this kind of build when you can spam guns in the interim while its recharging
>>124102760
If you have 25 skl, just parryfish him.
BoM suffers from BB's shitty damage calculation system that murders the damage of low AR weapons, or fast but low-modifier attacks. Part of using the BoM effectively is making good use of the R2s, which hit as hard as a strength weapon's R2. Dodge, go in for poke, R1 and while your R1 is going off, watch to see what the boss does; if he doesn't immediately go for his built-in "fuck off out of my blindspot" move, go for an R2; if he does the fuck off move, dodge and repeat. Your R1s are so fast and safe that you can basically use them as a hit test to get one or 2 of those ~30 damage hits while you wait to see if the boss will let you use an R2 this time. As long as you aren't mashing the button, R1s always recover fast enough to let you dodge.
The BoM isn't a good weapon, but it's not nearly as bad as people claim. You just have to get used to the playstyle being very different from something like a saw cleaver. Your crazy fast R1 combo doesn't become a real source of damage until you're all gemmed up
DeS being good is a meme. We all have fond memories, but it is far inferior to what we have now. DeS is the Vanilla WoW. Everyone talks about how good it is, but in reality it was kinda shitty and only fun because it was "new" and had ridiculously OP shit.
>>124103224

>>124099482
TRUE AS FUCK!
Bloodborne doesn't necessarily encourage offense,but it also doesn't encourage defense.
I think the best way to describe BB is that you always need to think on your toes and always be ready for anything
If you go in and try to whale on a boss they will attack back and they also have super armor so their is no hitting them before the release a big attack cause they can tank a few hits, but you can knock them out of it sometimes,but its a risk you have to be willing to take.
Not to mention going crazzy on them and using a ful stamina to attack them leaves you with none to dodge their attack once you finish
Its actually hard to learn how to play and counter bosses 100% effectivly due to the fact that everything can 1 shot you if you make a single mistake and their are no gaurented ways to prevent bosses from attacking you at any time.
With old school games like Meagman all you need was patience.reactions, and good memorization skill, but that doesnt apply to bloodborne.
Bloodborne prevents this by putting many obstacles in your way(having to go grind/restock for vials and bullets, having to star from last lamp which means going thru same enemies again and again).
Not to mention the enemy tracking and how their attacks follow you around with the exceptions of certain moves forcing you to dodge precisely at the right moment and even if you dodge if your attack doesn't stagger,prepare to eat another attack so you better hope you have enough stamina to do it or you are fucked.
Thats why some can lose interest in BB cause it can be a choir to play for those who arent used to challenging game play.
Making it all the way to a boss to die form his first attack numerous times kills the fun for some.
Every thread until it stops being hilarious
