I would let Quelaag enslave me to gather humanity for her hot sister.
It must be a hard life when your vagina is a multi-eyed, lava spitting giant spider. The menstral cycle especially. Where in Lordran would they sell asbestos-tungsten tampons?
>>125460443
This is my autistic loadout.
>>125460735The lava she spits everywhere is actually menstrual discharge.
>>125460856
>>125460735
Her lower body and vag are gone. Lower body duties are taken over by the spider.
>>125460856
Maybe the chosen undead caught her at the wrong time of month and otherwise she would have been as kind as her sister.
>>125460992
This is honestly a theory.
After all, Kirk is able to work for her and her sister. Yet you're just murdered on sight.
>>125461332
Yeah it made no sense why she and the other sister before bed of chaos were hostile. They still had control of their senses and had no reason to be hostile towards the chosen undead unless it was a test of skill.
>>125461698
>had no reason to be hostile towards the chosen undead
She wanted humanity, you fucking retard.

First time in thousands of DS hours that I ragequit. The bosses aren't even hard, but the bullshit is beyond comprehension. I can't believe some cunt somewhere is getting paid to have ideas like these.
>>125465325
>demons port to pc when.
Never. Rights are tied up with Sony.
We will have to make PS3 emulators for that.
Can daggers on a quality build with flynn+rob do good damage to make it worth being in offhand?
Or is it just to short to make it worth it?
>>125465463
>not NG+
>NG2+
I admire your dedication. I haven't even reached NG+ and I already feel like every enemy turned into a miniboss.
I can't wait until the real Dark Souls 2 comes out. This putrid pile of horse shit that we got instead is a fucking waste of time. I hope all the fucking retarded gooks involved with ruining the best series in video game history get cancer and die.
>>125465398
DaS2 was supposed to be all about memory, but since they butchered everything this theme will probably never be expanded upon
>>125465398
surely would have better lore, and characters
>>125465398
It's best to not mix the lore of these games. Dark Souls 3 seems to break the lore even further. Just think of each of the games as their own thing.
>>125465603
Given how it divides the fanbase, From will probably bury it as quickly as possible.
>>125465597
Fans would have to massively mod it, then create fan servers. The game would be unrecognizable.
>>125465597

It's a crutch for waifufags to hide their hideous attempts at making a human-like face.
Male version is just overused and looks pretty plain, but otherwise is okay.
>>125465698
I'm actually kind of scared DaS2 being a failure might have affected the future of souls as a series. What if FROM will try to emulate DaS1 so hard they forget to actually fix the flaws game had, just because they're scared now of doing anything different?
So the meme is back? DS2 is unplayable shit again?

Dark Souls 3 looks nothing like 1 though. From is using Bloodborne as an inspiration for it. I don't think we'll ever see From do a game like DaS1 again because they don't understand what made it so good.

demon's souls have literally better bosses than ds2, they are all original and unique(with the exception of dirty colossus) while ds2 bosses are copies of demon's souls and dark souls enemies and bosses.

Neither.

>>125466804
Take off your nostalgia goggles. DeS didn't age as well as you think, all bosses save for fucking TWO are complete pushovers.
>>125466681
Uhhm, the webm is fantastic..
Have you ever seen someone swing in DaS1?
Do you remember what happened?
>>125466832
Try dual lances.
>>125466681
I don't get how this works.

5 go in the menu and copy save back
6 done but don´t use your obvious cheat char again or get soft banned again
>>125466118
do you really think they listen to some nostalgia we want a carbon copy of ds 1 babies? of course not they will take the best of bloodborne and ds 2 and mix it well together I can already fell the delicious nostalgia babies tears
>>125466951
It is a failure, because it went through a very difficult development cycle. If it wasn't for BAMCO we'd have gotten an actual game DaS2 was supposed to be. DaS2 is a great fucking game but it's like an aborted fetus.
>>125466440
I was talking more about the technical aspect of the game rather than thematic.And I'm saying this cause I don't think DaS1 mechanics were good.
Aesthetically and thematically it looks pretty promising. The bosses seem to be alright, too. At least the fat blue-ish mace guy fight from the trailer looks pretty intense. Major Spooks ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=80&v=-XwhYVzN_a0 ) might turn out to be another OIK, but at least he looks cool.
But stuff like those webms showing clerics with the poise miracle buff poisestabbing people kinda makes me anxious.
>>125467083
>Do you remember what happened?
Nothing but perfect gameplay 100% of the time, except for the lag switches andRARE GLITCHES.
>>125467493

That dude got outplayed hard.

And the mother fucking trap at 00:28
>>125466951
Dark Souls 1 sold 8 million copies. By september of 2015 bloodborne had sold 2 million copies and it was exclusive (and i'm betting with the dlc/goty version with christmas coming up it will suprass 3 million). DeS has sold over 1.7 million and it was the least known game and exclusive.
In comparison Dark Souls 2 is a failure.
>>125468018
To be fair, those two have flawless connection with each other. I swear those backstabs would've definitely hit me if I was playing.
Is Demon's Souls available on ps4 through "the "PS NOW" or is it ever going to be remastered for it?
>>125468175
I think the guy actually just knows when to dodgle backstabs. They gotta hit on the opponents screen and not yours, so you need to delay your roll a little or something.
>>125466951
Dark souls 2 sold just shy of 3 million. Didn't even go past it.
>>125468081
Dark 1 sold 5.5 million.
Why isn't the spider's silk never used?

>>125468586
I see it from time to time.
Basically it's estoc for those who don't want to be associated with the estocfag meta.
>>125468586
I used to use it on my RoBSOFlynn Monster. Only ever hit with it randomly (sometimes I would 360 shoot webs at niggas across the arena).
>>125467649
>I was talking more about the technical aspect of the game rather than thematic.
I was talking about both. Dark Souls 3 is a reskinned Bloodborne with shields added. Remember when those first screenshots leaked? Some Anons thought some of them were Bloodborne DLC leaks. I wasn't sure either if they were DaS3 screenshots or something else. The combat in the trailers/gameplay footage is very BB too. Everything is sped up.
>>125468969
You forgot to mention all the reused assets like floors, doors, walls, mobs (the enemies in the new trailer are literally yharnamites with different hair), music, sound effects, and even some animations.
>>125468969
>Everything is sped up.
I haven't played bloodborne but i don't get why some people are acting like this is a bad thing. pvp and pve will be more fast-paced and intense than ever if that's the case.
>>125468726
they were waiting on a friend more than likely
Why they didnt use the god-name ring or w/e idk, unless its DaS1
For people still believing in DaS1 superiority, I have one thing to say: ForeSkins. Remember that every time you're about to tell someone your precious game is flawless.
>>125469198
Because it prioritizes quick and random slapfights instead of a thought out and well strategized slow approach
>>125468081
>Dark Souls 1 sold 8 million copies
Gonna need a source on that.
>>125468969
>>125469189
>Dark Souls 3 is a reskinned Bloodborne
Is this a bad thing?
(I've never played BB)
>>125469334
Wiki says it only sold 2.37mil in 2013.
>>125469198
It's a bad thing because everything plays the same. What I liked about Dark Souls was that the weapon and roll speeds varied a lot based on your build. Fast weapons had less risk, less reward, while bigger weapons had huge rewards with bigger risks if your timing was bad. I'm not even talking about PvP here, it's not something I do a lot.
>>125469334
Literally look at the post that replied to the post.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-07-01-dark-souls-series-sales-surpass-8-5-million
Dark 1
2.8 million of the original game
2.7 million of PTDE
Dark 2
2.3 million original
600k sotfs
>>125469606
The problem is that the risk vs reward was skewed in favour of fast weapons in DaS.
Str builds weren't really viable especially in PvP.
>>125469349
>paying 60 dollars for a reskin
How is this not bad? Are we CoD now?
>>125469891
Except str builds did tremendously in PvE and dex builds were like fucking aids for the first 10 hours unless you literally parried everything.
Postly reminder that 4fags sucks dick and should be removed from the game.
>>125469323
>>125469606
Everything is not going to play the same though, it's not like ultra greatswords will be the same speed as estocs. If everything is sped up, you will have to make the same strategic decisions at a faster rate, which will make it feel more skill-based and satisfying.
>>125469891
Wrong as fuck. Strength is probably the easiest way to breeze through DaS PvE and in PvP slow weapons are about playing patiently. This kind of gameplay won't die if everything is sped up because all that matters is that the swing speeds are relatively slower/faster with different weapon classes.
Faster, high-speed gameplay is not a bad thing.
>>125466396
>it's impossible to fix a broken sword
You can in Demon souls.

>the jap meta is literally great club 24/7
>Str builds weren't really viable
>>125470628
i dont understand why people say this bow is good. I made a faith build with it and had to be in shrine of amana to get any real damage.
Split damage is so fucking ass.
>>125469751
>Literally
As opposed to figuratively look at something?
Also, these numbers do not jive with what the original Anon said. I want to know if he just pulled 8 million out of his ass or what. The other Anon's post does not directly contradict mine and is fairly irrelevant to this line of discussion.
>>125470514
>Everything is not going to play the same though
I didn't mention the removal of poise. If the Estoc and say a Zweihänder have the same stagger potential they already play more alike than in DaS1/2(if you're not two handing).
>>125465463
NPC's with infinite poise, immunity to poison and infinite stamina make me rage so fucking hard. You can roll up all your tactics and shove them up your ass.
>>125470514
>>125470645
Str builds are shit in PvP unless your opponent doesn't know how to parry.
>>125470867
The other anon corrected him. He probably read the same thing and saw "dark souls sales surpass 8.5 million" and either didn't read or got confused.
Jesus christ, you are autistic.
>>125470829
>Split damage is so fucking ass.
Not in DaS2.
Also it's like 500AR with 80% elemental damage.
It's a better shiield piercer than estoc.
>>125469893
Why fix something that isn't broke?
Do you want them to completely rewrite the game from scratch and turn it into a turn-based tactical RPG or something?
DaS3 will be the final installment in the series anyway.
>>125471154
>The other anon corrected him.
Because the first Anon was pulling stuff out of his ass.
If he made a mistake then he can own up to it, I can't imagine why you're white-knighting for that dumbass.
>Not believing liars makes me autistic
Ok.
>>125471314
Until Space Souls.
>>125467360
Grand lances?
>>125471272
Well maybe not anymore, but back in the day it was entirely possible to be completely immune to ALL elemental damage (my robflynn 150 build was immune to all elemental damage by swapping some rings around and maybe putting on GMB once I found out they were using elemental damage).
I guess ever person I invaded just always had lightning defense on standby.
So I saw someone complaining that getting Seathe the Scaleless's tail was hard, so I made this. Do I need to capture earlier or do you guys get the gist of it?
Is this still valid?
>>125471314
Why do you not want them to put any effort in the game at all?
Just because I don't want reused assets and the same shitty playstyle of bloodborne doesn't mean I want them to rewrite the whole system.
Take DeS and DaS for example. They both have the same basic combat and shit, but the areas are all unique, the visuals are all unique, there are rarely any reused mobs, and the only thing I know for sure is that they reused a small amount of sounds. But dark souls 3 literally being bloodborne with a fresh coat of paint and some new weapons is basically cawadoody.
>>125471376
I prefer chariot lances, but if you want damage go buffed golem lances.
what are the best dex scaling weapons in Ds2?
are any of the twinblades aside from the red iron one good? they look pretty fun but don't seem to do any damage
>>125471314
Why pay 60 dollars if the devs didn't put any effort and just took everything from their last game for a quick buck? Even the dancer boss has almost the same animations/figure of vicar amelia.
>>125471678
>Ricards Rapier
>high tier

>same level as long sword
>dagger not above BaK
>chaos blade not Top tier

Holy shit this is retarded. I can go on, but I don't agree with this at all.then again, I'm not good,
>>125471969
Fume sword is great for pvp, and the list is for pvp.
>>125471834
Estoc is über-shrek
>>125472051
It is great, but not the same level as the longsword. It has too high of stamina consumption and it only gains a small advantage in range.
I am aware it is for pvp.
>>125471713
Of course I want them to put effort into the game but I'd rather they focus their effort where it counts. If there are graphical elements they can reuse from BB I really don't see the problem. There was lots of code and assets that were recycled since DeS.
Why is /vg/ always so negative?
Calling DaS3 a BB reskin before it's even released is just ridiculous.

Come on dude.
FROM could be waaaay more Jewish about the Souls series than they currently are. They're a bro-tier developer compared to most companies today.
The mere fact that they're ending the series with this third and final installment should be evidence enough that they're not just trying to milk the franchise for all its worth like so many western devs do.
>>125472448
Neat, a monk. The lvl 199 instead of 200 triggered me though.

Or maybe because a carbon copy of a game is a shit decision considering you can just play said previous game?

>>125472595
>http://www.mugenmonkey.com/darksouls2/34892
after looking at it again, i would say that 108 agility is a little overkill. I would stop at 105, and throw the rest into either end or vig. Other than that, good. 105 was the roll from DaS1, which is more than enough.
why would anyone purposly seek out pvp with hacked weapons and lag switches. like seriously. if you cant get good, dont play
>>125466440
>they don't understand what made it so good.
Which is what exactly?
Should i even bother to use a boss soul to get a weapon from a PvE standpoint?
>>125472508
They'll make more souls like games I'm sure. I mostly agree with you too, Excluding DaS2, they've always put a lot of effort into their games.

If you mean 1, yeah the boss soul weapons aren't that great typically. Some are nice. But most normal weapons are better if leveled up.
>>125473021
>look how good i beat you in an unfair fight :D
its like a 21 year old boxer going and fighting a 10 year old in their jungle gym and getting rewarded for it
>>125473083
>healing is bad
Not inherently, but it makes you a worse player since it's basically a crutch.
>>125473325
Nope, 2.
I tried with a couple but they are all either 16+ weight ultra weapons that i need to 2 hand or do sub 130 damage per hit.
>>125473250
Not that anon, but 105 agi is fun
>>125473527
Warped sword and roaring halberd are quite noice
>>125473250
Nah
Over 105/108 is the "what the fuck are you doing nigger" tiers.
>>125473527
>doesn't have the stats to use the weapons
>waah they're so bad
>>125471584
That is some big luck right there.
>>125473742
>i dont want to use this weapon
>stop saying this weapon is shit
lol ok
>>125473781
How was that luck? If seath breaks his own crystal he gets stunned for a long ass time.
>>125473742
>that i need to 2 hand or do sub 130 damage per hit
>or
I meant that the only choices i saw in those weapons are ultra weapons or medium weapons that deal less than half the damage on my normal mace/rapier
Even if this dumb claim that DaS3 will be a BB clone is true, its still great news for PCfags.
>>125473527
Fume UGS is great
Fume Sword is great
Warped sword is great
Roaring Halber fucks shit up if you land the sweet spot
That being said a yeah they are not flat out better than base weapons, which was kind of the point of DS2s weapon balancing
>>125473952
You have to upgrade them, you know.
>>125474035
RH is annoying as fuck to hit the sweet spot with because of that horrible front step.
>>125473781
It was actually bad luck, because i was trying to activate the red tearstone, but he kept getting closer and doing his longest range attack
>>125470547
you can't in real life
>>125466396
>it's impossible to fix a broken sword
but you can fix a broken broken straight sword
>>125474879
But you can't fix a broken community.
>>125466681
You may say that his takes no skill but I suck at DS1 and managed to get a 20 win streak in the burg and townshit with a build I copied from the internet just backstab fishing with a club. Literally holding right and pressing R1 at the correct time.
is there anything that stings more than losing to manus as he has a sliver of hp left because you get greed?
Large club or Great club for a str build in DaS1?
So for farming items in DaS2, what are the best equips to go with to aid the process? I know CoC is basically mandatory, Covetous Gold Serpent Ring(Whatever rank you have highest of), Prisoners Tatters, and Jesters Cap/Prisoner's Hood are the equips you go with, right? The Rusted Coins seems like a complete waste of time to farm for since it only works until you return to a bonfire or for five minutes, and most of the stuff you'll be farming takes a minute at best before you warp back to the bonfire.
>>125476817
Large, unless you are just going to backstab fish. The 1HR2 on large club is really sweet plus it's weight is more manageable.
>>125474879
but you can't fix dark souls 2
>farming to get an enemy to drop the weapon they have in their hand
>you can look down at their dead body and see the very weapon you need but can't grab it
shake my head
>>125477169
Yeah man fuck game balance let's just make Artorias/Gwyn/etc drop their weapons to any player without having to ascend them
>>125476345
this is what the guy in webm related did
in ds2 pvp you just roll in circles and swing around your weapon in the hope that will hit the enemy
>>125461868
ERECT
>>125477458
>low level twink invasions is the core of dark souls 2 pvp
come on

>>125477608
>>125477937
Why are you posting all my webms?
>>125477416
You could handle game balance and make drops less of some esoteric abstraction.
>all enemies drop all equipment
>standard enemies have low tier equipment
>when picked up said equipment is usually damaged and needs repairs
>boss or large enemy armors/weapons need to be reworked by smiths to fit humans
>enemies will randomly have different, better equipment
Examples:
>Kill Stone Giants. Strip them of their heavy Stone armor.
>Bring it to a smith, spend a lot of souls to make human versions of that armor
>going through undead church
>Balder knights with rapiers
>after an hour see one with a BSS
>kill him and grab it
Leo ring makes the AotA area super easy, holy shit.
BSS 2hr2 on Artorias on counter hit- 571
BSS 2hr2 on Manus on counter hit- 671
I am about to try Kalameet, but I cleared Arty in like 1:10 m and Manus in like 2 m.
Back on my NG+7 dude, I would hit 960 on 2h rolling r1 with my BKGS on manus.
Shit is crazy.
>>125477937
What's so wrong about that parry?
>>125478223
He's a das1 babby who doesn't know there are no range limits for parry in Das2.
>>125478076
or
>let it the way it is
>>125478223
really? the guy just pressed r2 two times and parried a guy thats not even near him
>>125478046
posting the webms because the guy posted about the backstabs with club in ds1
you can cheese both games
like wtf happened here
Just how dead is the Xbone version of DaS II? I got it for free from some promotion their shitty rewards program was doing.
I already played it on the 360, so I'm really only interested in doing more online stuff.
It won't be here for a week, so I'm wondering if I should just sell it for cheap somewhere.
>>125478790
>you can cheese both games
You can't poise BS in das2, and even when you're able to, the enemy can just roll away. Also, what happened there was latency.
>>125478790
Woah, you got rekt.
>>125478790
>>let it the way it is
Which leads to endless farming, and a very abstract concept of "drops".
The Souls games took rpgs away from really abstract turn based game play. They should continue the trend of removing as many levels of abstraction as possible.
Quick Question, I have heard the chaos rapier is the best riposte weapon per the weight, but would a divine rapier at 40 dex and 40 faith be better? The rapier ignores armor on critical attacks, right? Its AR is like 7 higher.
What's a good earlish bow in ds2? I want to make a ranger build
>>125478991
but you can parry with your back turned to the guy and it still work
>>125478995
this one thing only leads to
>run past mobs
>no one have what i want
>sit in the bonfire
>repeat forever
also, you would have 1 billion armor in your inventory, would the enemies respawn with new armor and new weapons? how?
>>125479249
>also, you would have 1 billion armor in your inventory,
You don't have to pick it up.
>>125478797
>tfw got a single multiplayer map for a CoD game that came out two years ago
>Friend got a life size replica of the Faraam Knight
T-thanks Xbox.
>>125479406
You don't know what it is until you pick it up.
>>125479406
so there would be a lot of armor in the floor causing lag
>>125479590
>>125479615
WoW like loot system
>>125479249
Nothing new there. You can even parry backstab attempts.
>>125478790
>really? the guy just pressed r2 two times and parried a guy thats not even near him
The greatsword blade was clearly in the parry range. The host was just swinging unlocked.
If the guy didn't parry him the blade would've hit him.
Everything's fair.
>>125480091
Yeah, I was spaced outside his sword range mashing parry, on his second swing he moves forward and I'm in his range, I got lucky with the mashing.
>>125480002
why do you even play this game?
>>125480091
no the blade wouldn't hit him
>>125479147
>>125480561
How did I do on the face of my unhinged hermit run?
>>125480358Your fashion is pure edge, no offense.
>>125480561
>no the blade wouldn't hit him
You can fucking see the distortion special effect from the swing going right through his head, don't fucking lie.
>>125480974
>taking the bait
I want to do a rapier build, balder side sword is supposed to be the best thrusting sword?
>>125480902
Looks fine.
First playthrough of DS
Where do I go after beating the two bosses that fight together in Anor Londo (Ornstein and something) and talking to the goddess that lets you teleport?
I talked to the snake, it swallowed me, and I put the thing where it told me.
Do I go to the former orange door in Anor Londo, to the place after the cat in the forest, to the demon place after Queelag, or to the skeleton zone near firelink shrine?
>>125480561
>why do you even play this game?
to kill newfriends in heidesand shrine of amanaalso to have fun.
>>125480974
>Your fashion is pure edge, no offense.
That's the point but I'm over it now.
Dark Souls 2 sucks lol
>>125481053
Baller Swag Sword isn't even a rapier, it's a straight sword but yeah it's still the best thrusting sword.
>>125480902
He looks like a mix between a quokka and a vicious child molester, I quite like it.
>>125481097
There's a few Orange doors that have opened up now. Go to them. The organge door in Anor Londo is just one of them.
>>125480902
bretty good, remember to kill saulden as soon as you get to majula, then answer "yes" when he asks if you've come unhinged and giggle to yourself like an autist. the best psychokiller weapon i've seen is the jagged ghostblade r2, is there anything similar in ds2? use that
>>125481097
You've got several options, but if I were you, I'd go where funny funky skeletons live
>>125481097
Just pick a place.
Everything after Anor Londo fucking sucks anyway so it doesn't matter where you go next.
>>125481223
In the cutscene there were many, but the one in Anor Londo is the only one I had found.
I guess I will go there.

Someone make Trudeau.
>>125481097
Go anywhere you want. I personally recommend going to the place after the cat in the forest, then doing New Londo ruins, but it's up to you really.
What's the best bow in ds2?
>>125481829
Hunter Black Bow for dex, Twinheaded great bow for str
>>125481379
so far the game seems excellent to me, and I expected it to be overrated, as in, praised by young people not used to the difficulty of retro games.
It is really really excelent.
My only complaints is bows arent very useful, crossbows are compltely useless, and some bad hitboxes or enemies hitting through walls and doors.
I hope the game doesnt turn to shit after Anor Londo.
The hardest part for me so far was crossing the bridge in Anor Londo with the knight archers.

>>125481184
>>125481959
have fun in lost izalith, best place of the game ;-))))))
>>125481959
Yes the game is excellent up until Anor Londo but either they ran out of money or Namco put a strict deadline on them because everything after Anor Londo is a bog drop on quality.
>>125481959
Nah every game in the series has some massive issues with being rushed in DS1 there is clearly content missing midgame, but it becomes really obvious once you get past Anor Londo.
In terms of how complete they are its probably Dukes Arctive (from Anor Londo)>Tomb of Giants (take a guess)>New Londo Ruins (but you need a certain item to fight the boss there and a consumable to even hurt the enemies there)>Izalith (past queelag), Isalith is such a massive shitfest though, you might want to try it first, see how it goes then do the rest, leaving it for last will leave you with a really sour taste in your mouth for the endgame, but going to it early might kill any of your interest in playing the rest of the game, pick your poison
>>125481959
>My only complaints is bows arent very useful,
40 dex
Pharis Black Bow
Leo Ring
Hawk Ring
>>125481959
Most places after Anor Londo are good, with the exception of Lost Izalith, which is unfinished and terrible.
>Hating Lost Izaleth
Cenepede was a nice fight.
The ring to run on lava is a little too Zelda-like. Though in those games you would get special boots for that.
But other than that it's fine. I had zero problems with it.
>>125483309
It's not the worst thing ever, but it's a very noticeable drop in quality from the rest of the game and is clearly not finished.
Also, it hurts my fucking eyes Jesus Christ.
>>125483309
>centipede demon
Literally the least memorable boss in the game.
>>125483309
>Cenepede was a nice fight
In what world?
>Well I'll just stand here and wait while he slowly slowly slowly makes his way over while rolling his attacks
>Oh he arrived guess I hit him now
>Well the camera is fucked, can't see shit but if you roll when he starts to move its fine and he seems to be taking damage
>Oh his dead now
You literally wait for him to walk over to you so you can hurt him, then the camera shit itself all the attacks look retarded and it's just a mess
>>125483569
>camera shits itself
you know there's an area to fight him on to the right, yeah? did you bother looking around?
>>125483309
>lost izalith is fine
>barely 3 new enemies
>rest is just bullshit copy paste
>third asylum demon with new skin
>centepede demon is one of the shittiest/easiest bossfights of the game
>DRAGON ASSES COPY PASTED ALL OVER THE PLACE
>>125483884
Why on earth would I move from the fog gate, I don't want that asshole coming up behind me or rolling into lava and shit that seems like a terrible idea

oh yeah and I forgot
