First for quick rolls
>>126697873
Kinda hope they implement that sidestep thing from BB
>get new computer with 4x ram and vram
>dark souls 2 runs super smooth
>dark souls 1 runs like ass, even getting dc'd from online for framerate issues at the start of the game
I must be retarded or can't configure dsfix again or something, I used to play this shit (almost) perfectly on my old computer
fuck dark souls for pc
>>126698074
I hope they make knights agile like in real life.
Fat rolling is such a joke.
>>126698347
i think the das1 levels were a bit crazy.
i think the das2 fastroll should be midroll and work from there
>>126698246
Yeah, DS1 is a bad port.
DS2 was pretty good, hopefully 3 will be good on release.
I will be legitimately pissed if DS3 has any "praise the sun GROSS INCANDESCENCE XD oh also here's literally just havel the rock and ornstein and all the other popular characters from DS1 for no reason" shit
>>126698535
the sun shit is still there
>>126698595
day 1 pirate
>>126698535
the sun covenant is gonna be there
old reference characters... I also think we could do without them, but there's gonna be some for sure
>>126698535
It's certainly an easy route to go since DaS2 already provide them with the excuse, something about how great souls is able reincarnate/possess stuff in subsequent cycles.
>>126698535
That's exactly what's going to happen. From's lazy and will reuse whatever they can whenever they can, but most people don't notice since most of the Souls community didn't know about From before DaS1.
>>126698650
enjoy no online.
>>126698671
Aren't the only characters reused from DeS patches and the crestfallen warrior?
>>126698535
DaS3 bosses are called Heirs of Fire
DaS2 covenant is called Heirs of the Sun
Even if Miyazaki didn't intend for any direct connection, DEEPEST LORE people will draw lines and say that Solaire, aka Sunlight Bro Top-Dog is the final boss of DaS3.
>>126698814
Solaire is Eileen
-Vaati
>>126698775
There's them, then several weapons, the monk's headpiece, and some other stuff like soul magic and generic souls. Hell, the CU was supposed to have a glowstone but Atlus got all buttmad about it so they took it off and now we just have glowing characters.
Sooo, I recently started to play DS2. Only From game I've played before is Bloodborne.
It was pretty limited with the stats you could upgrade, DS2 seems to have so much more variety.
Playing a strength character now, about lvl 70 and using morning star and zweihander.
This plain str character is becoming quite boring to play. Is it good idea to start to level something else to get a little variety? Throwing in pyromancy, hexes, spells or miracles?
Also, is it stupid for str char. to infuse weapon with fire or lightning if I dont have any int/fai, like in bb those two scaled with arcane? Or should I just stay on normal upgrade path and use those resins?
What levels does /dsg/ stop with their characters?
The only thing I miss about GFWL was the ability to send messages to people you played with/against. There's no real easy way to do that on Steam and it makes me sad.
Worst boss in the entire series?Not Bed of Chaos, niggers.
What's the best thrusting sword for PvP in DS1: Rapier, Estoc or BSS?
>>126699389
Real King Allant
>>126699389
sleeping bag of anarchy
>>126699389
those 2 archers at anor londo
>>126698914
Yeah, magics scale with INT/FTH in DaS2
Sorcery = INT
Miracles = FTH
Hexes = INT AND FTH (Lowest of the two)
Pyromancy = INT OR FTH (Total of the two)
If you have pure str, it's better to leave weapons uninfuse because they reduce your str scaling.
In DS2, don't stop leveling as long as you are gaining souls, because of the way online matchmaking work via Soul Memory.
so i just upgraded my sunset staff to 5, why can't i upgrade it any further?
>>126699202
With how soul memory works for PvP there's no reason to stop at any particular soul level, except to handicap yourself.
Infusing most elements, apart from magic, is fine at low INT/FTH.
Why are those shadow set wearing motherfuckers everywhere in DkS2 now? It doesn't make any sense for them to be in every area like this.
>>126698535
>Not liking the references to past characters
Did you not think it was awesome that Ornstein in DaS2 is left to guard ruins, Smough is nowhere to be seen, and his armor is worn out and unpolished? He's not even named, presumably because he's hollowed and even he can't remember his name.
>>126699685
Weapons upgraded by Twinkling Titanite or Petrified Dragonbone can only be upgraded to +5. It's equivalent to +10 for regular titanite weapons.
Anyone from /bbg/ here? Does Menas still post in your general? Will he come to visit /dsg/ when DaS3 is out? We miss him.:(
>>126699828
non-human FUCKING CANNOT go hollow.
>>126699706
Item description of shadow set:
>Used to hide in the cover of night.
Those who are especially adept assassins
are often hired as bodyguards.
>In an attempt to stave off the curse,
King Vendrick hired shadowmen to
put down the Hollows, but before long
they were Hollowed themselves.
>>126699952
what about the hollow dogs everywhere in das1?
>>126699695
Ok then, thanks for answer. Also, is there same kind of hard and softcap at stats like in bloodborne? Most were something like 25 to 50?
>>126699979
>hollow dogs
uwotm9
they're rabid or something, not hollow
>>126699828
Ornstein showing up was fan service and nothing more.
Literally HEY GUYS, WHO REMEMBERS THIS COOL GUY? ONLY PEOPLE THAT PLAYED DARK SOULS 1 WILL GET THIS!
should i keep the souls of the bosses i killed if i don't plan on turning them into weapons?
>>126700037
how can they be rabid if bacteria and viruses are gone hollow and doesn't prey on their cells?
Right bros, first playthrough here, asking for a r8 on my progress and recommendation on what's left?

That's all I can think off of the top of my head. Who's left? Also, I haven't used any companions and I only used tutorial to find out how to find specific things that are pretty well hidden (i.e knowing to wear the ring to fight the 4 kangz), I haven't used any guides on bosses (probably why I found that piece of shit crystal dragon so annoying).
>>126700178
4 kings is easy if you have armor with good defence and a lot of hp
looks like you're missing the whole dlc

The Sun has been pretty much confirmed to be an ambiguously evil entity though, so even if someone is praising the sun they're probably doing it with not very chivalrous intentions. Here's some writings you can find on gravestones from the network test area:
>“This exile was chased from his homeland, and haunted by a black sun”
>“To honour and shadowy retreats. Fear the sun’s tempations, and the winged executioner”
Oh yeah it's also fucking bleeding and has a giant world serpent coiling around it.

also go back to undead parish, where that blacksmith NPC was (andre the giant) and go down that ladder, there is a titanite demon there and a whole area after it (it's connected to hydra place if you wanna come from the back)
also painted world of ariamis, look up how to enter it really
also DLC

Why don't you just leave if that's how you feel? Why do you need e-celebs to enjoy a game and/or its community anyways?
Just finished SOTFS today, have to say the changed enemy placement actually makes the game feel a hella lot better, especially with the Drangleic Castle and Dragon Aerie, real neat things they did over vanilla.
Got a question though, what SL did you guys do the DLCs at? I went in at SL 150 and didn't have too many problems with the bosses. Only took two tries with Blue Smelter and I was told the guy was stupid hard or some shit.
Also fuck Frigid Outskirts, fuck the magic crystal deers, and fuck the absurd ammount of HP/poise enemies have. The rest was really good though, the verticallity of the DLCs was a nice departure from DaS2's normal level design.Alonne is probably the best boss fight out of the two games even if hes easy once you realise to roll back 70% of the time
>>126700285

Old Iron King

THe green moth thing? Yea I beat that, wasn't that a legit boss
>>126701273
yes that is a boss, but you didn't mention it, so I thought you might have missed it
I did on my first playthrough
>>126701230
He's not even the worst boss in his respective game, what are you talking about?
why is it so hard to farm for the desert sorceress set?
>>126701443
I asked "in the entire series". Though it's undoubtful that 4skins is THE worst in the entire history of gaming, people may have different opinions.
>>126701564
Noone sane would say that Old Iron King is worse than the Prowling Magus.
>>126701180
That and Heide's becomes a major clusterfuck after dragonrider dies were weakpoints, but I feel it took more steps forward than back, like moving the Flexile from Shrine of Winter to before the sinner, using the shaded woods ghosts more and the military camp before Telsorda actually having soldiers and not peasants, more Pursuers, ect.
>>126701632
An I say again - 4cunts is still worse. Worse than ANYTHING. Got it faggot?

Back to Reddit.
So let's finally determine the actual reasons why 4niggers sucks shit and is the absolute worst "boss" to ever exist in gaming.
>>126699983
Some are 25, some are 40, etc
You can look up the soft caps on the stats pages of most Dark Souls 2 wikias.
>>126702263
Hunter's Axe or Blueblood Sword
Why is the darkwraith covenant nicknamed dickwraith? It's just another invasion covenant, it doesn't completely fuck up your world like gravelords do.
>>126703001
Gravelord is too limited because it requires NG+
DeS
It's better go play offline when going for a Plat run because of the world tedency, right?
Anyone up for Smelter? Lv 68/219K SM
>>126701034
>SL did you guys do the DLCs at?
Did them at around 110-140. Admittedly, I had a fair bit of trouble with bosses, but I mostly think it's because I suck. Great hammers trivialize a whole bunch of enemies with the 2h R2.
Thought you guys would like this /v/ request.
>>126704038
>>126704038
Nifty.
>>126704038
nobody gives a fuck.
What order do most people fight bosses in Demons Souls?
I did Tower of Latria last because it terrified me but I was so strong by the time I did it,I destroyed the apparently very difficult Maneaters without a sweat. Thinking about it all of the DeS bosses were easy aside from Flamelurker.
>armorer dennis

Check the wiki if you have any interest in the weapons or magic you might want to make otherwise feel free to.
i've got a int/dex thing going on, should i infuse my blacksteele katana with anything?
>>126705270
Same here, I really enjoyed how well From made me hate Maldron. Definitely the best NPC invader by nautical miles.
>>126700468
First time I've seen this shot. That looks rad as fuck
>>126705320
Stats?
>>126700468
>>126705320
Never infuse Blacksteel Katana. It gets very low elemental bonus damage.
>>126705304
so these boss souls are only used for either weapon/spell making or spending?
what about the special souls?
>>126699870
Hello not-Menas,

40 dex/ 40 int/ 30 fth
>Want to do "cosplay" or themed characters in DS2 for co-op and invading
>Soul memory instead of level for matchmaking makes it hard to do
Back in DS1 I had so many characters of various levels that I made purely to sit in certain areas and invade, or co-op specific bosses.
>Sunpig I made purely for the bell gargoyles boss
>Just a naked character with the pig helmet and just enough faith to use lightning spears
>Helped scrubs kill gargoyles all day
SHIT WAS FUN.
What would be a good "Theme" character in DS2? You can't really do belltower unless you want to get invaded 24/7 while you wait for people to summon you.
>>126705628
Probably not, BSK has the best dex scaling of any weapon in the game, split damage isn't all that great
Infusions in general are more of a pure int/faith guy thing
>>126705715
>Back in DS1 I had so many characters of various levels that I made purely to sit in certain areas and invade, or co-op specific bosses.
>boot up the game
>play it
>agape ring at 30k SM
Boom you can now sit at one area for the rest of time.
If you want to bitch about SM then the actual complaint is that it forces you into a few areas where your SM tier is most active and there is no way of moving back, and you can't invade infinitely upwards meaning you are stuck to whatever area you chose, but if you take a SM tier thats orange in one place, slap on the agape ring you will be summoned there until there is nobody left playing that area.
>>126705628
Infuse dark
>that second bonfire in the gutter that is absolutely useless because it's on a dead end with nothing but a stupid jump, poison statues and a big dog
What's the best DaS2 Greathammer and why?
>>126705834
>You have to rush to a certain point in the game and wear a ring (Which takes up one of your four slots) at all times to stay at a certain point
That's fine if you want to stay at level 100+ and keep playing with friends, but if you want to limit yourself to a certain level it doesn't change much. If you DO die and lose souls you're still under-statted, and you can't spend your souls on items or spells, or upgades, or it does the same thing.
I.E. if I want to make a character that is a pure archer, bow only, arrows cost souls, I wouldn't be able to buy arrows without gimping my stat for co-op/invasion.
20 INT good enough for pyro on the side as STR focused build?
>>126705961
Isn't that the one that leads directly into the Gulch?

>split damage isn't all that great

>>126705834
>agape ring
But I want souls to upgrade my shit/buy armor sets/get nifty boss weapons/buy consumables
>>126705990
Giant Warrior club in terms of raw damage. I'm partial to the great club since it's fairly light does decent damage and has long range for a great hammer.
>>126706068
The way to the gulch is near but there's a wall between the bonfire and the maze of ladders that brings you there.
>>126706010
>If you DO die and lose souls you're still under-statted, and you can't spend your souls on items or spells, or upgades, or it does the same thing.
What.
If you wear the ring you wont gain any souls, you get it the ring, spend all of your souls and run around 0 with risk. If you ever want to actually farm then you take the ring off, get some souls, put it back on, spend souls and then go back to running around without any souls on you.
If you want to do a dedicated coop build then you will be overleveled to all hell for most areas because the people doing the summoning are not nearly as minmaxes as you are.
If you want to coop a specific area with a specific build then its entirely doable and you have 4 ring slots. The only real issue is that you can't go far from whatever area you decided to start at, you can perfectly well make a dedicated coop build for helping out a specific area.
>>126706274 this applies to you too
You are spouting so much nonsensical and flat out wrong bullshit that Clan_Iraq would be proud. 999 arrows is 25k souls, most of the people playing in fucking no mans warf are at 200k, the consumables/upgrades issue isn't nearly as relevant as you would make it out to be.
>>126706304
Or you could break the breakable wall and then its just a bonfire half way through the area
>>126706060
Might as well go faith if you are not planning on using it as your primary attack, pyro scales with int+faith and faith has more utility based stuff

It limits themed characters and builds.
>>126706354
>999 arrows is 25k
What, basic or iron arrows? What about elemental arrows? Or poison/bleed arrows? What about throwing knives? What about firebombs?
If you want to make a character that uses no weapons and only throwing knives and bombs, you are investing a large portion of your soul memory into items and if you're wearing the agape ring you can't get more of said items without raising your soul memory.
>>126706525
>before Smelter
You can skip Smelter if need be. The second bonfire isn't too far off.
>>126706579
Magic is only shit in the DLC, in the base game it's still easy mode as fuck.
>Haven't died to a single boss in Scholars

>Be at 100k soul memory
>Died once and lost 20k souls
>You're now 20k souls underleveled
Or
>Ne at 100k soul memory
>Spent 20k on spells
See this shit is why I have a hard time of caring about anything you say, you have clearly never actually done a low SM build and seen how it goes so you actually think that 20k SM means ANYTHING.
If you want a low SM build then you never walk around with a lot of souls on you, you are either farming (which you should probably do as a phantom so there is even less risk) or walking around with the agape ring on, you will never lose souls from dying.
99 firebombs is 20k souls 99 throwing knives is 10k, and out of every summon I did in DS1, not a single person was a dedicated archer/consumables throwing guy, literally none you are making up an issue just for the sake of bitching about it.
Who are the people who want help coop?
People who can't beat an area on their first try or just want help, worse players.
What do worse players do?
Die
If you just play through the game and beat every area without dying 5 times you will be FAR ahead of all the people who would actually want to summon you, because they run around shoving souls into weapons they won't use, into non optimal stats and just dying in general.
You are making a mountain out of an anthill and you know it
What is lowest level viable for forest pvp?
>>126706525
Iron keep is pretty bad in SOTFS, one of the few areas they made worse.
>Heide's tower of flame after defeating dragonrider
>>126706591
And lets not forget that consumables are farmable, you don't need to buy shit.
>>126706957
>Out of every summon you did nobody did x niche build
Gee it's almost like it's uncommon!
>because they run around shoving souls into weapons they won't use, into non optimal stats and just dying in general.
I upgraded two weapons to +10 for the first half of the game, then I replaced them with a new set of weapons, then once I finished the game I found the weapons I liked the most instead of just stat based and upgraded those.
Now because I didn't decide on a single weapon to use for the entire game before I'd made my character, I have spent thousands of souls that I get nothing out of. As well, if you buy any consumables or vendor armor/weapons you are slowly but surely gimping yourself if you ever get invaded or plan to invade anybody.
In PvE it matters less, but it DOES make it so you will out-memory a certain area where you're out of the general range that people are usually there.
Everybody already knows Soul Memory is a terrible mechanic.
The Agape Ring is a poor band-aid for a much poorer system.
>>126707136

Bro, I cleared the entirety of No Man's Wharf in full item discovery gear until the mobs stopped respawning and only got 40 arrows.
Farming shit takes hours for something you could go through in one boss fight.

GAHAHA
GAHAHAHA
Ha
If you beat the game you had 1 mil + SM, probably something like 2-3 mil. Going up a single tier there is 500 000 souls or more, the 20k spent you upgrading a weapon doesn't matter shit, stop making it out to be worse than it is you dumb motherfucker.
>>126707373
>a neiche build is hard to do
Oh no.
Also if you were running "max item discovery" then you were probably running around with as many +item discovery things as possible which lowers the droprate, because you don't know shit about the game and just want to bitch anyway
>>126707306
The Agape Ring is worse than a band-aid. It took away the one good thing SM had.
>>126706591
Am I the only one who thinks caring about SM is a special kind of autistic?
>>126707547
yes
>>126707430
>You will never rescue the sorceress hanging out outside the windmill
>>126707547
It's the same crowd that got hypermeta in DS1 with leveling and shit, possibly the worst of all the crowds the game gathered because limit themselves with some arbitrary breakpoints
>NO CAN'T LEVEL ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO DECIDE ON A BUILD AS SOON AS YOU START THE GAME
>NO WEAPON EXPERIMENTATION YOU PICK ONE AT THE START AND BUILD YOUR CHARACTER AROUND IT

They care so much about muh meta and being optimal that they forgot everything else about the games.
>>126705715
I made a Heide knight a while ago.
Sunbro'd outside of the dragonrider with the agape ring on at just under 60k and used the sun sword and that faggy parma until I got a Heide sword.
Most of my low-SM builds are under 60k and they see plenty of action at Heide and the forest, but the Heide knight is around 150k so I can stomp bellfags.
Also, you can stick your sign down just inside the belltower in the Iron Keep and then run back to where the puppet is.

>>126707603
i've never actually used any range weapons in combat aside from pulling. is it viable?
>>126707694
In DS1 you can't respect at all and leveling cost far more and since everything is SL only there is much less variety.
>>126707770
IDK I use the crossbow to pull and take out annoying bastards like the Amana priestesses.
>>126707778
in das1 i could sl1 run through everything and still get my gear and hit pvp hotspots because i can control my SL
das2 i have to at least make it to agape ring and then cap my souls, which i need to actually do shit with besides leveling. It's just extemely inconvenient

>>126707873
Sure it is, clearing 2 bosses and 2 areas to get an item and then have free reign over your levels is far more inconvenient than playing the entire game at SL1.
You are a fucking retard and thats the end of it.

Can someone do a comparison webm of flip vs quickroll?
>>126706632
Well, of course, but I do want to go through everything, and the Smelter fight is pretty okay
It just seems that they did all they could to mess with speedrunners with all the added enemies, scenarios like these and random petrified statues.
>Brume Tower dlc key is in fire lizard pit
Fuck
At least they did use a few under-used enemies, which is cool
>>126707058
Does that trigger the Heidi knights patrols?
I was wondering that

I kinda love the random ranged enemies they've added. Some of the crossbow dudes in Bastile were great too
>>126707962
i can tell you dont pvp because you don't actually understand what sm does
there are things you spend souls on beyond levels
>>126708094
Play a different game, or at least not assert that your precious meta and minmaxing is in any way the games were designed to be played.
>>126708201
I can tell you don't actually PvP because you don't understand what SM does. I have ran multiple different twinks, 100k difference in SM doesn't even mean anything while invading, it means even less for summons.
The bridge and the area always have players in them.
Let's be real here you are bitching because you like to see your soul amount go up and agape ring denies that which triggers your autism.
>first time playing DS2
>shrine of amana

Amana on release was even MORE FUN.
Why do the giant in DS2 look like hulking monstrosities with prolapsed anus faces?
>>126708578
gaping != prolapsed
>>126708136
I meant please as in
>how the fuck did i miss that
>>126708291
100k? You'll get way, way more than that in a very short time if you PvP for some time and aren't shit at the game.
>>126708887
And none of it matters because if I wanted to stay in one range I could
If I want to gain souls and move up I can
If I don't want to use a ring slot then CBEO's exist and work just fine.
>>126707770
In PvP it's nice to have one handy because it can shut down spell-casting.
>>126708530
It was the most fun I had in the series.

>>126709210
If you look on the travel list you can see orange outlines on 3 zones. These are the zones most active with soapstones for your SM. If you're looking for help with the Smelter DemonLucatiel's summon sign will appear if you find her in Harvest Valley, just before the Covetous Demon encounter (assuming you've talked to her in the Lost Bastille).

It matters because you needlessly waste a ring slot that could be used for something much more important, like the Ring of the Living for example.

CARLOOOOOOS
>>126709539
They fucked up in calibration 1.08. They reduced the charges on all offensive miracles and intended to buff the damage but instead nerfed the damage by about 10%. There's a post about it on the Namco Bandai forums somewhere
>>126709681
I wasn't minmaxing my equip load, I was just wearing whatever looked cool and trying to stay under 50% so my end is really high.
>>126709689
You are fucking retarded anon.
>>126709738
Why did they never fix it?
It isn't even fixed in SOTFS, is it?
>>126709867
Who knows, it's not fixed in SotFS. I remember back in the day it took them months to fix the binoculars sprint glitch and parry airwalk glitch. Running around at sub 100k soul memory with a Dragon's Tooth sprinting behind people for backstabs in DaS2 before the agape ring was pretty absurd. If you weren't around for it here's a little video.

Man I don't get it. This world tendency shit in DeS doesn't fucking work for me.
Sometimes I'll get benefits like picking up the Dragon Bone Smasher or Makoto, but when trying to find NPC's n shit like Selen or Scirvir they just don't show up.
>>126710141

Check that your world tendency hasn't drifted.
It moves towards the player bases's average tendency over time.

So, who's the ultimate worst boss of the series? My vote goes to 4shits.
>>126710456
Don't get me wrong, I loved them to move quickly through PvE and create builds very fast but people who used them in PvP were complete dickheads
>>126710141
How did parry airwalking even work from a code perspective? I can't really wrap my head around how it came to be.
>>126710750
Riposting locked your z axis coordinate for the duration of the animation so it would work on sloped surfaces I imagine (strange things happen when backstabbing and riposting on slopes, some weapons do more damage if this occurs). cancelling the riposte within the first few frames locked the Y-coordinate but never unlocked it when it was cancelled. The game thinks you're still riposting the enemy until the enemy is unloaded, due to a map unload from straying too far from the original enemy. When you jump your Y co-ordinate is updated but still locked when the jump finishes, this is why you could jump onto higher platforms to raise yourself and jump in mid-air to lower yourself.
>>126710991
Z axis not Y axis, wasn't paying attention.
>>126710369
Are you playing online?
That affects tendencies, so do keep that in mind
>>126710991
>>126711086
I see. That's quite interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

How would you feel about a sci-fi souls game based on Dune?
>>126712119

Yes

Eh, don't know enough about it to judge
I would be cool with something closer to Shadowrun or Deus Ex or something, with elements of hacking/cyberworld being as important as physical combat
>>126712119
Sci-fi souls? Y
Dune? Maybe.

Not sure if the main story would be usable for a souls game though.

http://mmdks.com/7us9
alraight, here you have 56 poise so you won't get stunned often
i tried to minmax it as well as i could and just modify it however you want it
i keep it at 28 str because it doesn't really affect you too much because i assume you are going to onehand the weapon you should also consider putting alot of points into dex though
and there's a mod that turns this coat into dante's coat somewhere (if you play on PC)

There is a reason people from PS3 and XBOX still come to this thread begging someone to drop them xth item they can't farm for sone reason.
And, duh, thats the reason PS3 has better players, because it has less retards.
>>126715520
