Yay leveling up at bonfires. I don't know why they thought making you speak to the same NP who repeats the same lines of dialogue before leveling up would make players feel anything but dislike for the NPC and just want to mash through her dialogue
First for please return the primordial serpents or at least Straid's voice actor.
outplayed edition
>benhart's parma is back in DaS3
what else will they bring back? do you think the description will mention benhart, or the original owner of the shield?
So I got Rank 3 in the Company of Champions with my Hercules character. Which covenant do I join now? I was thinking of Sun Bros but I don't play online at all (No Xbox Live) and I don't care about Miracles anymore, I tried and they were weak as fuck so I dumped the points into HP and Stamina instead.
>>128109340
Maiden in Black and the Doll don't have that problem but these suffer from huge loading times. DaS1 was the way forward in that regard.
If anything they should just use these as a hub for upgrading healing items.
>>128109375
I think DaS3 will give more lore hints than anything DaS2 ever did.
Even the original DaS2 items were LOST AND FORGOTTEN most of the time. I mean, look at Benhart's fucking armour.
>>128109340
>leveling up at bonfires
Wat?
I could swear that Miyazaki said that there would be another levelup waifu, but that may have been a mistranslation or a fever dream or something.
>>128109480
Leveling at bonfires confirmed and warping from the get go. So I expect it to be similar to Bloodborne (hub area for teleports and you can teleport back here from any bonfire) or DaS2 (any bonfire to any bonfire) sans waifu to level up at.
>>128109353
>straight sword guy just doing the same shit over and over again
kumo guy played really well, but it goes to show how retarded straightsword fags are.
http://fextralife.com/dark-souls-2-total-lore-and-location-breakdown/
Drangleic is built where Lordran used to be.
>>128109461
oh the problems of a different director. miyazaki at least tries to make you like the characters.
>>128109582
straightsword guy just should have brought some throwing knives or a bow or something ranged instead of limiting himself
>>128109604
Whoever wrote DaS2 made hollowing into literally alzeimers.
>other souls games and BB give you level up waifus
>closest thing in DS1 is flesh mustache snake
>>128109184
>Attunement means spellcasters will always need more levels than melee characters
Not true. You can spend less in VIT and ADP, work with light armor and roll to range since you're casting spells.
>Hex users are even worse off since they need to use both spell stats, meaning they need even more levels than the average spellcaster unless they're going no melee
Again, not true. Magic and lightning reach 155 atk bonus at 50 int or 50 fth. Dark reaches 157 atk bonus at 29/29. Dark will need 8 more levels but they gain access to hexes AND miracles AND sorcery that fit the requirements. It's pretty balanced.
I know ripping on DS2 is hip and cool but the magic mechanics are quite well thought out.
>>128109340
Hmm I don't see you complaining about the inability to buy items at bonfires.
I wonder why.
>>128109603
It was likely in Vinheim and I subscribe to this theory.
>>128109669
It was like that in DS1 too. Onionknight grew forgetful as he hollowed.
>>128109669
that isn't even a bad thing, its just done so poorly through the game that its disappointing to even play the game again.
>>128109739
The only evidence is a ring which said it was used in that area, and since you find that ring in DS1 then that fits as being Lordran.
>>128109647
>muh straightsword is the strongest most flexible weapon in the game
>look it can hit people rolling into me
You dont undertsand the mentality of the straightsword user.
>>128109828
>>128109739
I like it being in Verdite way more than trying to grasp for any relation to the first game.
>>128109698
But how could you not love this face?
>>128109747
That was like one example but if anything it could just be a trait of him being a clumsy fool. The other characters turned after losing all hope i.e. idiot Laurentius (?) getting lost trying finding your sick pyromancy, Crestfallen Warrior getting sick of it and going downstairs and something drove him mad there. Nothing regarding any other characters is similar to Siegmeyer or DaS2 characters.
That said cut content of Crestfallen Merchant pointed in that direction too.
>>128109778
>>128109747
But I think the main problem is that everyone forgets the lore and history on almost every item too. Straid is a cheeky cunt who just doesn't give you info but people rarely give you information and end of their questline is mostly them forgeting everything and it's all so samey and pathetic.
>>128109721
??
What does this even mean. Occasionally having to go off to a merchant to buy an item and hearing them say something slightly different like "oh haven't seen you in a while" or them giving me a different greeting if we've become close is a lot better than having to sit through BEARER OF THE CURSE before I can level up.
I don't know why they didn't do it like DeS and just have her recite it in the menu background.
>>128109882
did you get beat by someone using a straightsword, anon? they must have really torn a nerve for you to get so bent out of shape
>>128110073
Fuck you, my dad used to beat me up with a straightsword every time he came home drunk. You dont know the pain.
>>128110057
exactly what I meant by being done poorly, the game lacked the vision that made the first one shine. It's like the just connected the dots between set plot points given to them by someone else. It might sound as I'm holding miyazaki in too much high regard, but he surely makes the difference.
>>128110057
Oh and Logan isn't hollow he just went mad but I guess it's similar for different reasons.
Can I only get Ring of Blades +2 in DaS2 in NG+?
The wiki says only Bonfire Intensity +2 is needed
http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/ring-of-blades
But this guy says you need to be NG+
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7qpXLEvut0
>>128109943
Its not grasping. Evidence for it being Lordran is all over the game. A giants skull THE SAME as those in TotG in Grave of Saints, numerous items in the same location including Havels shit, Old Dragonslayer near the blue covenant which is nearly exactly the same as the one in Anor Londo (implying the Tower of Flame area is what remains of Anor Londo), the four great souls existing in this area, and the fact tons of NPCs talk about the cycle of kingdoms rising, having a glory day, being destroyed, a new one being built.. and the old one forgotten. They even mention the endless cycle of kindling the flame and holding back the undead curse.
They didn't add all the references to DS1 to pander to fanboys or out of laziness, they did it as evidence.
What are some good power stance combos besides two ice rapiers and washing pole + warped sword? I'm thinking of doing a power stance build with flynn ring and ring of blades.
>>128110271
you can use a bonfire ascetic, but you have to kill nashandra
>>128110271
I think bonfire intensity 2 means NG+. Bonfire intensity 1 is the first playthrough.
>>128110342
>two ice rapiers.
If you don't need to parry, you can swap the left hand for a straight sword. Your powerstance moveset will be the wide straight sword swipes with the range of a Ice-rapier.
How's it feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel Seath?
To be abitich
>>128110550
TO BE ALONE
LIKE A ROLLING STONE
What scythes+infusion would be appropriate for aKneesocks Demonbuild?
I was initially thinking dual Great Scythes + Dark or Bleed but I'm not too sure.
>>128110342
>flynn
Be a man and powerstance ultra weapons.
Your goal is fume ugs and smelter gh.
>>128110412
I already killed her if you mean the final boss. I'm in the DLC areas and figured I'd want a bit more damage.
>>128110426
I rewatched it and saw that he put a (Use Bonfire Ascetic if on your first playthrough) in there.
>>128109669
>The Darksign signifies an accursed Undead.
Those branded with it are reborn after death,
but will one day lose their mind and go Hollow.
Memory loss in line with dementia has been the fate of hollows since DaS.
>>128110694
if you already killed nashandra then you can use the ascetic in the first drangleic bonfire
>>128110652
That would be so much better if he held them the same way.
>>128110764
Seemed more like the moment you lose your mind your state as a hollow quickly follows rather than y'know, everyone forgetting everything as soon as you've became an undead.
>>128110765
Gotcha, thanks.
game starts and freezes at a black screen even on a clean install, tried all the shit on google. what the fuck is this
When does DS1 get hard? I'm plowing through these jokers in undead parish like a linebacker through a crowd of children.
>>128110652
I've mostly done STR focused weapons so far so I'm trying to force myself to use dex. When the game was first released I even had the cheesy great axe powerstance with a ultra greatsword.
why is dragonrider easier to kill than the monsters leading up to him
should I keep using my fire sword +6 or upgrade and use a great machete/old knight great sword instead?
>>128110886
>>128110764
When you go hollow you basically empty, leaving just a husk that moves on instinct.. essentially you lose your humanity and go "hollow"
The Dark Soul piece, granted by the furtive pygmy ages ago, which makes humans more than their basic, primordial hollow selves leaves you.
>>128110924
PM'd you the fix
>>128111045
thx ;)
>>128110960
Depending on how familiar you are with the game soon or never. The game is all about preparation and if you know where all the tools are then the game wont be very hard.
>>128110960
Blighttown.
>>128110960
It never gets harder, it only gets easier.
The only difficulty comes from terrible maps and vision problems, in other words Blighttown and Lost Izalith. Tomb of the Giant too, if you are a retarded piece of shit like myself.How the fuck was I supposed to know that the lantern only shines if you hold it in the left hand? I equipped it on the right and thought it was a useless item so I dropped it the box and never used it again.
Also enjoy the shockwaves.
>>128111007
>the cheesy great axe powerstance with a ultra greatsword
I don't miss that. Though the recently discovered alternative is pretty balanced.
>doing the third DLC
>find the four knights
>seal the portals,cool
>surely it's a one-time thing
>get killed right after since I don't know the attack patterns or anything about the ivory king
>gotta do the portals thing every time you die
This is so bullshit.
>>128110886
Hollowing is a process that occurs as the undead in question is still sane and which ends with them being insane. You see it in both DaS games, both in NPCs and the visual effects on your character.
>>128111043
This shit was easier when it was just soulstarved.
>>128111273
What am I looking at? Why is right so much faster? Is that some kind of glitch people abuse?
>>128110271
bonfire intensity 1 is ng
bonfire intensity 2 is ng+
typically, the first link is correct, since you can have bonfire intensity 2 you can still be in ng, but you need to kill nashandra and then ascetic the kings 's gate
>>128111276
>>gotta do the portals thing every time you die
thank god for that. have fun farming loyce souls otherwise
>>128111360
If you press Triangle/Y and attack at the same time while powerstancing you bypass the startup.
If you press Triangle>Triangle and attack at the same time you swap stance midcombo. It's insane.
>>128111648
wow
I play on the keyboard and mouse and STILL win PvP.
>>128111837
I was trying this earlier. It's so fucking uncomfortable
Man, DX11 multiplayer is literally ded.
I'm trying to bro it up and I'm not being summoned close enough as many times as I do on DX9.
>>128111872
I know, but I don't have access to a controller. I got good.
Also here's a protip for anyone who needs to use it, too. Rebind your keys. Jumping attacks and shield break don't work with mouse, so rebind it to keyboard. Also learn click discipline so you don't accidentally double click and do a strong attack. Making double click do nothing literally makes you character stand and do nothing if you click too fast.
Some hacking faggot invaded me, teleported to a boss I hadn't beaten yet, and killed him before teleporting us back, which means I didn't get the boss soul. I don't think I got any regular souls either. How the fuck do I report people in DaS2?
>>128111991
>Jumping attacks and shield break don't work with mouse
They do, it's just a different timing.
>>128111991
2 years in and you retards still can't find the second option in the setting menu.
Just fucking turn double clicking off goddamn.This is probably due to the pastebin not being updated for this or something
>>128111991
Your double-clicking is still on. Despite what the menu says, the "disable double-clicking" option defaults back to off whenever you boot up the game. You need to reset the option every time you open up the game.
>>128112067
I don't think you can. From's anti-cheat system sucks.
>>128112223
I think the fact that theres no way to report people means FROM wasnt very serious about the whole anti cheat thing.
>>128112147
But it resets every time you start your game...
>>128112340
Considering the way these games work 90% of the reports would be people getting killed by things that they don't know about and then claiming its cheating
Sanctum crossbow special attack comes to mind for this
>>128112340
They really aren't. DS1 has no system whatsoever, and a good chunk of the b& people in DS2 only caught the hammer because they used the FPS fix or graphic mods.
I honestly can't decide if their shit system is really any better than no system at all.
>>128112424
Boo hoo 5 second every time you restart the game whatever shall you do
>wow what is this shit delay
>oh there is a setting to turn it off
>reboot the game
>huh the delay is back
>whatever I'll just turn it off again
>oh wow its gone
Is the logical approach but dark souls so hardcore eks dee bad port japanese devs etc and instead you turn it off once then give up on ever trying again.
>>128112340
>>128112223
Doesn't Steam have a reporting function through the overlay?
>>128112576
Not VAC secured nor does it somehow directly harm your machine so it doesn't really do anything
Is an END over 20 recommended in DaS2? I can't seem to decide where to put my points, as STR and DEX are both at 40.
So do I need two twinblades for PvE, one to clear the area and one for the boss because the one for mobs is probably broken?
>>128112865
Usually you keep pumping it till the end of time, but if you already have a favorite weapon you might want to get enough END so that you hit a breakpoint for getting an extra attack/roll off after a 3/4 hit combo
>>128112893

Weapon durability is an actual gameplay mechanic that you have to think about, get used to it

>>128113125
>Wasting a ring slot
>Using a consumable
>Altering a build to use magic
Durability is a shit mechanic
>>128113156
All the niggers around the chest will run to you as make your way to the smelter demon's door, so you have to kill them anyway.
>>128113272
>wasting
Don't use a weapon with low durability then faggot
As I said durability is actually a stat you have to think about, it's a tradeoff same as weight or moveset or anything else.
Go back to DS1 if you want some casual shit where nothing you do matters because there are no consequences for anything
>>128113254
that's after shaded woods boss?
I jut got the rotten, and I think the paths I have left is iron keep, lost sinner and shaded woods
>I would not venture far into that hole.
>It was blocked by a wall, something built long ago.
>But it was crumbling, and I finished the job. Now a foul sound echoes within…
What did he mean by that?
>>128113621
The spooky skeleton.
>>128113593
Yeah, shaded woods->shaded ruins->doors of optional and skippable rats->army campsite->brightstone cove tesledreraorda

>>128113693
it can't be, can it?
I actually went there, saw the map with 1 flame on it, the guy wasn't there. Went to kill the spooky skeleton, loot the chest, come back up, he's there.

The fact that DaS1 attracts this peculiar crowd speaks volumes about its 'gameplay'.
I like using the agape ring at an absurdly low level, going through the game until I have amazing weapons and armour, then invading. It's the best!
SANCTUM MACE IS BASED! B A S E D
>>128116160
literaly the worst part about Souls/Borne games is magic. Maybe we'll get a game without it and fags can learn to man up.
>>128117287

Use the poison bite ring and fruit.
The knockdown is long enough to rebuff.
how do i git gud at parry hornet ringswaps
i can get the swap alright but it's never fast enough and i can never actually riposte
...i still cant do it
Most sets in DaS 2 look pretty bad to be honest.The Alva,black dragon,Loyce and Benhart sets are okay but that's about it.
Meanwhile in DaS you have Ornstein's,black and silver knight,Ciaran's,brass,paladin,Artorias',set of thorns and Lautrec's that all look pretty damn good.
>>128115262
I guess we praised it too much.
>>128118010
Try practicing it with the forest NPCs, if you can do it with them you can do it online. It's just muscle memory.
>>128117287
Try Yorghs spear.
It's almost as good at inflicting poison and plays similarly.
>>128118078
I don't agree with that at all, you missed Drakeblood, Velstad's, Watcher's, Defender's, Insolent, Imperious, Syan's, Heide's, and Falconer sets. Meanwhile mentioning Lautrec's armor and not mentioning DaS1 armors don't have capes because no cloth physics.
>>128118078

>>128118078
>Not mentioning Executioner Set
What are you? Some kind of mad max raider hating faggot?
DS2 is so frustrating. Most you know you will reach the deadline of having no more effigies. What then?
Where the fuck is the havel's ring equivalent in this game? I want to wield a greatsword without having to sacrifice my knighty looks.
Forgive my lowres.
>>128118696
Royal Soldier Ring +1/2/3 and First/Second/Third Dragon Rings
>>128118696
Royal Soldier's Ring. The best version you can only get from a boss thats in bonfire intensity 2.
>>128118684
just go kill shit to farm them in shrine of amana. there's only a billion of the faggots. Also I still have 40+ in NG
>>128118684
I barely ever use them so I never run out.
>>128118684You can become human for free at some point if you run out of effigies.
>>128118684
If you're hollow and touch the shrine thing just before Undead Crypt you turn human. You can't have ANY effigies in your inventory, box, or on the ground though.
It's like a last ditch thing.. also you gotta fight a pyromancer to get there.
>>128118684
You get like 20+ guaranteed effigies, not counting drops. How are you dying so much?
>>128118684
I play it like this during my first playthrough
>Die
>Lay down summon sign
>Run through area/boss again
>Die
>Repeat
I either get seasoned enough to tackle the boss/area(while hollowed) or I get summoned, get my humanity back and use that to summon others.
Barely used any effigies.
What version does everyone use on PC? Default or steambeta 2.0?
Coming back after like 2 years of not playing and I have no idea what the fuck happened.
>>128119745
Default, Dsfix, watchdog
You're good
>>128120000
>watchdog
do I need to use it to connect to people or see summon signs? or is it a completely optional thing?

I really hope DaS3 has some good spells instead of just different coloured projectiles. I want to cleanse foul souls with holy light instead of shooting yellow beams at them.

So how do you fix magic in Dark Souls?
DS2's DLC approach of giving the bosses high resistance to spells (but not to melee elemental) punished pure casters too much, especially if they don't know about it and don't put in points into melee stats.
Unified MP in DS3 will be interesting but I think it's probably just going to force people into spamming low powered spells
>>128120943
Sorceries look so shit. It's magic, they have a lot to work with but instead just go for 20 variants of blue circles.

>>128121350
I don't know mang, I just want stuff that looks cool. The sunlight spear would have been cool if it wasn't just a variation of a different magic beam. Some bosses have cool magic spells, why can't I have that?
How does matchmaking work for bellbros? Is 300k SM too high for Luna?
>>128121607
There's a very big range for Luna invasions, I'd say you're in the sweet spot for it. I was at 600k and with the agape ring I got enough non-stop action to hit the last rank.
>>128121539
https://youtu.be/qdZSOJ5pyEU?t=531
Something like that. Hits harder at close range as opposed to using it to snipe far away enemies.
Fire Emblem has great Light magic too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNF7EJa6Suo
>>128121556
Nah, man, you're just spoiled as fuck.
There are few games that actually allow you to throw lightnings like spears zeus-style (like, go ahead and name 3), and DaS3 has pretty decent special effects for spells. There is no reason to be upset.
>Some bosses have cool magic spells, why can't I have that?
List a few examples that wouldn't be outright OP in PvP.
What do I do after the Lost Sinner?
>>128122135
go kill any other primal boss
>>128122135
beat the other 3 lords
>tfw will never be able to use the FUGS real special attack
don't see the problem, it'd be worse in pvp than the obsidian greatsword's was
>>128122061
You didn't understand it. I just want things that look cool, I don't care for how OP they are. I don't give a single shit about PvP.
And I said that the Lightning Spears are cool but they are just reskins of Soul Spears (or vice versa).
Don't you agree that it would be better if there were more different spells for Miracles/Sorcery/Hexes instead of Beams of every colour + some gimmicks?
Rate.Also, who's your favorite boss of all time?

Hey /dsg/
I want to finish my pvp build but can't be bothered to grind the souls or titanite anymore.
I'm wondering if someone with some spare demon titanite and souls could drop some for me. Maybe someone who can use cheat engine, drop me 8 demon titanite and a bunch of souls?
Any help appreciated. I decided to do some Iron Golem cosplay but shit's expensive to upgrade
SL73, PC, can meet wherever
>>128123478
Because game is so ded only place with orange outline

Thanks.
I used to use it, I completely forgot about it
>>128124105

Just BC out and reinvade.
Don't be so entitled.

>>128124105
>+5 lightning weapons, havel gear and family masks
You don't need to beat O&S for any of that shit.
>>128122583
I hate that because honestly given that you can wrap between every bonfire there's honestly no reason to go back to that room and it gets forgotten about pretty quickly.
>>128124996
Well you're supposed to remember it due to the switch. I can see why it would be annoying though, especially since it opens up a huge part of the game.
>Buy DaS2 after waiting for it to be cheap
>Hour in and I get invaded by a cunt with fancy armour who shits out damage
Its good to be back. Was that soul memory shit just a meme?
>>128124591
I used to twink a bit. It gets boring VERY quickly. Your opponents basically can't ever kill you because of their shit, unupgraded weapons, and you pretty much 1-2 shot them. There's zero challenge, it got very dull for me super quick.
>>128125341
Agape ring locks your soul memory so twinking is back in full force
really all soul memory ever did was fuck up coop and invasions for normal people
You wake up tomorrow morning in fire link shrine.
You are the same physically as you are now
You do not carry the darksign, you are not undead
You can not rest at bonfires and level up
You can not use estus, if you are injured it is like a real life injury
If you get soup stones you can cooperate but phantom deaths are still permanent.
You can invade and be invaded
You can only leave Lordran if you defeat Gwyn
How far do you get?
>parry button (LT) broke on my controller
>used to be able to reflex parry daggers with 2h UGS

>>128124923
Oh yes you do when you're level 1. Admittedly I only needed a +1 ascended flame and +3 lightning weapons, but christ on a cracker that fight is hard with no end or vit.
>>128125426
i've noticed a fairly good ratio of shitters to actual twinks. Unfortunately for the host their summons are usually potatos with good weapons, but I still get my ass kicked in a 3 person gank squad if I'm not careful. I'm only level 6, no crazy build shenanigans.
>>128122431

I've played DaS2 in the CoC all game long. Now I left them because I got Rank 3.

Come on anon, no one would get passed tarus.
>>128125426

you either steamroll newbies even if they have summons or occasionally bump into someone making their 1000th build who wrecks you regardless
>>128125473
Die at taurus demon.
>>128125473
I'm gonna hang the fuck out in Firelink and build a shack, fuck that noise.
>>128125473
Since video game logic doesn't apply to me, I run through everything without even trying to fight. I get the free souls you can pick up and from random enemies dropping to their death while chasing me for level ups. I proceed to ring both bells and then despair in Anor Londo as I am scared of heights.
>>128125473
I own an entire suit of battle ready gothic plate armor + a flanged mace and i'd still stay right the fuck in firelink
>>128125458
>really all soul memory ever did was fuck up coop and invasions for normal people
Not really.
All it did was restricting twinking. Coop and invasions worked fine.
>>128125764
Okay.
Humanity is fucking hard to get by in this game though. I have 14 in my inventory right now. When I played DaS1 I had like 30 or something towards the end.
>>128125854
You can't ring the bells without defeating their corresponding bosses, the fog will stop you
>>128125927
>implying you got invaded by anyone other than blue cops in any run of DaS2 unless you stayed to co-op or afk'd for ages.
Srsly most people do not get invaded. I got arbitered in Lair of the Imperfects last time I played for God's sake.
>>128125854
You can't level, you can use souls as money still though
>>128125927
Nah. If you PvE and die a lot, you'll end up killing more enemies then better players, thus getting more souls and eventually you'll get matched with stronger invaders simply because you died a lot. I guess it's a plus that you also get stronger co-op buddies, but it's still a terrible system.
>>128125864
Come on it's 9mm it won't even hurt hollows.
>>128125458
Fug me. Being hollow does bugger all now as well doesn't it?
>>128126142
You should just be able to summon anyone lower than you, would increase activity in NG+ a lot
>>128126103
I guess then I'll just stay in Blighttown and have steaming hot sex with Mildred while she dominates me.
>>128126337
Stops you from hosting co-op I guess.
I've played through DaS several times now, but I never figured out what the town is that you see on the descent into Catacombs from the graveyard. It's next to the poison swamp, and looks sorta like Undead Burg. What's that area supposed to be?
>>128126337
yeah you can still be invaded hollow, albeit great for pvp
the chance is still lower though
>>128126337
Enjoy the Forest while you can. None of the following areas get close to this masterpiece.
>>128126378
You should tweet that to a Namco Bandai Twitter community rep tbqh

>>128126123
Blame the lack of invasion items.
It's true that I rarely got invaded, but I could invade everywhere almost instantly, not just during japtime like in DaS1.
I need to get the 100% for DaS on PC, is there a guide for recommended achievement progression?
iirc you need at least 2-3 playthroughs to get everything right?

>if you have 20int/ faith he gives you his ballin armor set AND the highest damage hexing staff

>>128127926
stick to invading as a red, way faster
>>128128001
They don't stack? Fuck, I did that for no fucking reason for hours while farming Awestones.
>>128127926
Only for the buff. You only get invasions as red.
The matchmaking is worse than SM.
>>128127764
Get 8 int/fth and you'll be able to buy hexes from Felkin, guy sitting along the way to Huntsman's Copse.
Get 20 int/fth and he'll gift you his armor (hood gives 10% more spell casts ROUNDED UP) and more importantly, the Sunset Staff. It is the best staff for hexes when upgraded.
Holy shit, DaS2 is piss easy when you're not in the Company of Champions.
>>128128115
I remember a reddit post with lots of data saying they average out.
So the coins and jester hat maybe screwed you over.

im in sotfs, can't i get it from Felkin?
ive determined that if i kill the dragonrider and then ascetic and kill him again, with cheesing, i can level up int and fth to 20 right off the bat
Where did normal people live before it all went to shit in DS2? In the first game they lived in places like the numerous towns with cottages you see. In DS2 there's a soldier fort where soldiers lives, a castle where the king and nobility lived, a bunch of older castles and keeps with nobility, but where are all the houses for common folk? You never see any location, even in the background, where they could've been.

Oh btw, you'd want to go to grab the Fire Longsword from FotFG asap. The fire scales with your INT+FTH and you can use it as a melee weapon for much of the game until you can infuse something with dark.
>>128129354
Well there's Tseldora
>>128128838
Movement feels horrible in Souls, there's no weight behind the characters and you can accidentally slip off ledges its so twitchy.
Supposedly running DaS1 at 60 makes this worse.
So why were people in the Valley of Defilement sacrificing fetuses to Astraea? Was she evil or not? Help pls
>>128129476

>>128129868
she wanted to do the right thing, even in trying the demon's power shows through. Her attempts to save the lost are rendered useless because the demon's soul corrupts the land and the souls of those around her. She herself seems to be relatively unaffected, but her lust for the soul is apparent.
also they're not sacrificing them, the babies probably represent dead fetus' that are suffering, or offspring of her demonic taint and garl if you wana be lewd

I might ask you to give me in order to give you, because there's an unlimited item cap of 3, so if I have 3 of any item, I can give an infinite amount of them.
>>128129354
There's Tseldora and Majula. I'd think No-man's Wharf is a proper settlement too, a shady one.
Anyway, from Cale's map, it seems like Drangleic is much larger than what we experience in-game.

This game..... is just terrible at times. I seriously question why they did some of these things. They gave you two ways to get the invisible set but one awful way to get the visible set.
I just started a sorcerer character
and in the top left, where like, ring effect symbols would be, there's two symbols ive never seen before
it's a person with a red box around it, and then a shield with a red box around it
what is that?

1-2 isn't boletaria palace, it's a straight fucking road with some trash enemies stacked and a waiting minigame in the form of a dragon. The boss is pretty cool though.
>>128138525
I can meet you wherever, so let me know if you get nodes at any point. I wouldn't mind getting as much demon titanite as you can give.
>>128138760
I can break the game for you however you want.
I could just give you the upgraded weapon you want already.
Or you could just use cheatengine
Who's castles are most comfy, Demon's, Dark's, or Dark 2's?

>>128138943
But then he would've cheated, because it's just different when you ask for someone else to cheat items in and give them to you :^)
>>128138943
Well, I'd prefer the titanite since then I can just upgrade any other weapons as well if I want, somewhere down the line.
I don't really need much, anon.
I can summon in Oolacile Township, not sure about other areas. It's an old save and I just don't really remember which bosses I killed.
>>128139161
I honestly don't care, I have no moral issues about using cheat engine to give myself souls/items for pvp to save myself the grinding time. It's just the fact that I'm not very proficient with CE, other anons can do it better and faster
Is it worth having a torch for the spider boss in DS2?
>>128139490
You can't do basic math? baka desu
I'm playing through DS1 for the first time and I'm not sure if I regret resurrecting the firekeeper at firelink shrine. Having +4 on my estus flask would be useful I think.

you dont get happy feetd by the mobs so yea id say so.
>>128139554
I tried it but it did nothing for me, the spiders still attacked me. I can't remember how I beat it but it was a bullshit fight.
>>128139637
You can get a max of +4 estus throughout the entire playthrough without having to kill any firekeepers, and that's all you need. Kill them all before NG+ though to get +6 or +7.

at least you can just rush drakebridge in 5 seconds, but you are stock on that shitsink of a level for a while doing literally nothing but walking forward
>>128141141
Not really.

Sanctum crossbow is such a dirty weapon
How come FROM hasn't nerfed a ranged weapon that does 1,2k damage per shot
WHY DID I THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA
so i beat dragonrider by running pasteveryone and then cheesing
and then i remembered i never beat the one knight that drops the sublime bone dust
so i go and try to beat him
but i get gangbanged over and over by two knights and the heide knight that wakes up cuz i won the boss fight
so i just moved on to the next part of my strat for this run which is ascetic the bonfire and cheese dragonrider again
well now, since i gave up one sublime i dont want to give up another
but im at half health because of constant deaths to DR and i cant fucking beat him cuz im low level and it's NG+
so now ive just decided to give up on the whole thing
and now i cant even run to the fucking boss because NG+ adds a million fucking knights
so ive successfully fucked myself out of TWO sublime bonedusts because im a shitter who cant beat a goddamn knight
fuck i hate myself
is the lifehunt scythe good?
what was the revelation at anor londo? I doubt it was the gargoyle. I believe you didn't receive a revelation, and that you aren't the true chosen one.

>>128143405
They HAVE nerfed it. It used to make up 50% of the meta and shoot like a machine gun when powerstanced. If you haven't played in the early days of DS2 then you missed some really broken shit.

>>128143767

oh
so what does he drop
>>128143405
Because it can only fire 1,2k damage projectiles 5 fucking times before completely falling apart unless you're using the brass knuckle ring.
And it's base damage is worse that Crossbow Shield.

The community only split into two generals because of people who couldn't afford/didn't want to buy a PS4 for one game, and for the sake of discussing BB without causing a consolewar shitstorm every single time it got brought up, which is the only thing that ever happened until the generals got split up

It doesn't look like DS2's floaty bullshit. If you're mad about leg animations, go check falconer animations in DS2, they didn't even fix them in SotFS, so glad I didn't pay for that shit
>>128146523
It looks even floatier, are you not seeing the way that guy is skipping and hopping all over the place like Enchantress on LSD?
There is no weight to everything because everyone jumps around

>>128146414
Byebye
First run of DaS2 and I'm liking the Crescent Axe, but I've yet to upgrade anything and after exploring the area in the Shrine of Winter, I'm beginning to feel the need to. Is the Crescent Axe good (aka, is there no flat out upgrade of it), and is it worth infusing it to Magic if I don't intend on putting points in INT?
>>128146639
You're wrong. There was weight in DS1 and it felt good. It played like a good game. In DS2, every animation was slowed down like 1.5 times and so the whole game played like shit and everyone floated everywhere. DS3 looks like DS1 with the animations we've seen so far and that's a good thing. Mocap looked so bad and I hated the rolling in any direction shit, or how the rolling animations had me on the ground the whole time instead of the leap for their life that the characters in DS1 (and now DS3) do.
>>128146837
Thanks, cya
>>128146695
oh god yes backstab rotating for permanent invincibility is back
thank god
this was a good decision
remember when soulbrandt said backstabbing would be much harder to quicker le epic circle right gameplay wouldn't work anymore?
good times
>>128145129
I'm the guy who made the image, I don't understand many of your complaints though, maybe you could explain further.
You can pick any color besides orange, you can be special if you want senpai, people just wanted to rate bosses and areas differently so I figured i'd explain it a little easier. Apparently I still didn't explain it well enough, because people are picking both option A and option C, which makes for a messy image that's harder to read than I intended. I think I'm just going to remove option A altogether.
The reason that there isn't a place to describe the specifics of an area should be a very obvious one, the image is already enormous in size (i had to shrink it by 40% already) and increasing the size further increases the width of the image which either (a) causes it to move offscreen to the right or (b) shrinks the image so it fits to your monitor. Its hard enough to read the text and see the area pictures as is when you open it in 4chan and increasing the width or height further exacerbates the problem.
The idea behind the size is that it should approximately able to fit on a 1920x1080 monitor while retaining its readability. This is, unfortunately, the reason I didn't add Bloodborne, because adding a 5th column makes it more difficult to read at-a-glance. I'm still open to adding it but retaining the readability of the image is important.
>>128146953
Anon I think you are confusing "speed" with "weight"
Everything in DS1 and what we have seen from DS3 is floaty, there is no weight to anything because everyone is running around like a jogger.
>>128146927
>worth infusing it to Magic if I don't intend on putting points in INT?

>>128147320
"weapon art" of the shield
medium/kite shields can only block, no parrying
small shields can only parry, no blocking
>>128147252
Because the scaling is shit anyway and I figured there's a chance the small loss in physical is worth the comparatively large increase in magic
>>128147309
I don't even understand the question, It wasn't until Drangleic Castle I started feeling my damage wasn't sufficient, everything before that was going down in about 25 hits at worst
>>128146394
4) it's like bloodborne...
>>128147340
No, I'm saying that DS1 had no weight to it and DS3 seems to have even less
>>128146639
There's no equip burden in the network tests
>Black Knight Archers in Anor Londo
Got past them first time on my first playthrough and I've been fucking stuck on them for at least an hour now.
Doesn't help that I had to kill the firekeeper too so I have to keep going the longer route with the moving platform.
>>128147552
ugh
>>128147487
wait, this is seperate to battle arts, right? doesn't consume mana. right?
>>128147743
Go for the one on the right, and learn to parry like a man
>>128147690
There is no inventory either, but none of the previous games had different walking animations based on equip load so I doubt this will
If it does I will eat my words because thats a good change.
>>128146394
>>128147552
5) it's like king's field
>>128147743
>he didn't light the ceremonial tomb bonfire
I know b-team and all that but the DLC bosses in DS2 have been really boring so far.
Caster + previous boss summoner
Dragon fight with no interesting quirks.
3 standard NPCs in a room
Smelter Demon clone.
Then there's the monster spam run ups to some of the bosses (guessing there's one in the third DLC too).
Do things get better?
>>128147743
Why did you HAVE to kill the firekeeper

just beat gaping dragon. This game's pretty fun.
Quick question though, why do people complain about curses? Yeah, they suck but there's a vendor not far away from the Depths who sells purging stones, and at this point 6000 souls should be pretty trivial.
>>128148369
It's very far. Backtracking is stupid. I've never been cursed because I'm not retarded.
>>128148307
should’ve halted
>>128148369
they complain about the return trip, pretty annoying the first time
>>128148267
It's better than anything DaS1 has to offer though;^)
what's you're best weapon in darksouls 2? currently ussing dark cryspt sword dark bastard sword and dark estoc
>>128148369
a) because they're bad
b) because the vendor could absolutely be closer, think about backtracking as a shitty player
c) because it doesn't feel good to lose 6000 souls because you feel like you didn't know about something
ive never been cursed myself
>>128148369
Chances are, if you've been cursed there, you're not getting your souls back.
6000 souls at that point requires a fair bit of farming and the backtracking to the vendor is tedious to the extreme.
Then there's the fact that if you're new to the game and its playstyle, getting back to the vendor with 1/2-1/4 health isn't trivial.
>>128148369
If you didn't have a guide you wouldn't know about that vendor at all.
Also she didn't always sell purging stones iirc

>Apparently I still didn't explain it well enough, because people are picking both option A and option C, which makes for a messy image that's harder to read than I intended. I think I'm just going to remove option A altogether.
Option A+Option C is by far the most readable and least awful for the template, which is why people are doing it.
>The reason that there isn't a place to describe the specifics of an area should be a very obvious one
ok
>the image is already enormous in size and increasing the size further increases the width of the image
You have a whole section dedicated to a game that is literally not out yet. Worry about having 5 sections when there are 5 games.

You're already 600 pixels over that.

>>128149571
You apparently weren't here before, most people have been choosing option B.
The reason I have a section dedicated to a game that is not out yet is so I don't have to go back and complete the image later. Do what you can do today as opposed to tomorrow. If you're saying I should just crop the image until DS3 is available, I understand that and it might be good idea until April. I wanted to see if it was still readable adding more columns. The image is already complete in photoshop, all I need are names and pictures of the areas.
>You're 600 pixels over that
600 pixels in a vertical direction, which doesn't change the scaling or reduce on-screen readability. Do you understand how 4chan works with images or not?
You're also the first person to ask that BB be added. If more people want it, I'll add it. Pretty simple.
I like your idea about adding cliffnotes in regards to what you liked about a particular area, but even if I add 75 pixels under each area, that's 1950 pixels vertically and more than doubles the size of the image. If you have a solution I'm all ears.
>>128151030

>>128150773
Eh, SL120 is fine. It basically allows you to have a decent build like at SL80-90 but with enough health so that a backstab or a parry doesn't one shot you.

Holy fuck.
I've finally been playing SotFS on PC, I'm having some really fun fights in the BoB arena.
If I start NG+ will it be all havelmonsters?
In what order people build their character in DS 2?
DS 1 was simple for me. Make sure you have stats to use the weapn(s) you plan to use when you get them, then pump up endurance and then your main damage stat.
Dark Souls 2 is lot harder. Unless I want to be naked for most of the game I need to pump up Vitality, and I obviously need stats for my weapons. But then I also need endurance and adaptability for the ever important stamina and agility.
And all that seems really overwhelming. Feels like I have to be gimped one way or another until past SL 100.
>>128152725
20k souls will be a bitch to farm then.
Heide's tower of flame can be good for farming if you're good enough to take out the mobs there without too much trouble.
You're missing out a bit playing offline mode
>>128153453
Yes, I am going to check how much it costs on steam later on.
>>128152275
>Female
Gross, what kind of faggot makes a waifu in a Souls game?
>>128153215
DS2 is a bit of a clusterfuck when it comes to stat priority/ordering.
What you need for the weapons/spells first then just wherever you feel lacking at the time.

As long as I can two-hand my weapon and actually dodge attacks I'm good
Anyone noticed how during co-op the giant balls in Sen's Fortress will hit you several times on their way down because of the lag? This is usually an instakill when the host is dumb enough to get hit by them.
>>128154298
Well, to be honest I have some difficulty dodging attacks, but that has nothing to do with stats.
>>128153903
I've still yet to figure out a decent looking armor set on males that uses the dusk crown and I'm going to assume it's impossible
>>128154627
By "actually dodge attacks" I did mean leveling ADP, but timing does help, yes
Is there any sort of ratio for ATT to ADP for Agility increases? At any point will 1 point in Attunement be the same as putting 2 in ADP?
>>128112067

>>128147743
Several ways to go about it. If you have high enough INT hidden body and slumbering dragoncrest will let you sneak up to the one on the rightad avoid getting an arrow through the skull on the way. Or you can just equip a bow and snipe them with poison arrows from where they can't hit you . It's time consuming but scrub-proof
>>128155109
>>128154984
Can you get the Crown of Dusk without the dlc?
>>128155198
Dusk's corpse always spawned with or without the DLC yes.
>>128155198
Yeah. Kill the Hydra, reload and come back to where you fought it, head all the way back into the little hollow on the left side of the lake (past the ladder) and kill the golem
Talk to dusk and come back later to where the golem was and you should find a corpse with her gear
Not sure if you need to summon dusk as a merchant but you shouldn't need to
It's a bit convoluted since you need to trigger a couple separate events

As for the site, I've bought several 50€+ purchases from it (Total War Rome 2, Attilla, WoW expansion packs) and I've never met any problems. Games usually get delivered within 4-5 hours via email.

What do they call that tool you use to block CE users from connecting to you in DaS1? Does it still work after the switchover to steam?
What level should I be to invade in Sens? 30?
So why did they change the skeleton lords boss fight to make it even less notable? I know some people had problems with it but there were lots of boss fights harder than it.
Technical reasons maybe? All those enemy types and attacks plus 4 players/npcs might have gone over their memory budget.

>>128159001
thanks bro.
>>128159170
Aren't we like 5 years past arguing about "the right way" to invade?
>>128159170
No rules when invading, so they're free to do whatever they desire.
But that's not stopping it from being a shitter move unless you have summons or something
Does killing Sif have any effect on the Forest Hunter covenant?
>>128160402
Yeah, you can't be invaded there by forest faggots anymore.
>>128160402
Does gently making love to the Hunter qt have any effect?
so while obviously non of us played it, anyone else that played bloodborne get the same feeling from the trailer?
the character seemed very fast, faster then i remember DS1 and DS2 to be and while obviously playing with cheats or else he'd die multiple times, he hardly ever used a shield.
i think the same way DS was basically a non ps exclusive DeS DS3 may be a way to make a non ps exclusive bloodborne.
at least in the way gameplay is handled.

>>128159170
Meh, only rules I care about people observing when invading are no surprise attacks before the host can spot you and only use magic if the host uses magic.
>>128161264
It's a digital game with literally LITERALLY infinite copies available. No on cares nerd

Every souls game has equally shit hitboxes and netcode, this is fact. Take your baseless hate on DS2 back to /v/.
>>128162552
with no deaths and not getting hit? I mean if the hitboxes were really as bad as you say you are, it wouldn't even be possible right
>>128161731
>You will now always be invaded by two players at once, we did this to increase the difficulty of invasions, because we felt that one invader was not punishing enough. You will be invaded by an additional invader every 30 seconds in which you fail to kill the first two invaders, up to a maximum of 8 invaders at once. Upon dying in this fashion, all your souls and humanity are lost. If you die with 0 humanity, you will then have -1, which decreases all your stats by 10% until you kill the invader(s) that killed you previously through the matchmaking system. This can happen a total of 10 times, until your stats are reduced by 100% and your equipment is lost and you have to play the game with the handmaiden's ladle and no stats.

lmao you wish. enjoy your handholding and no invading players below lvl 30

Yes, they do.
look at >>128145372 again.
Each of those trees represents a world tree. The world is balanced on the top.
The Demon Souls one is one one tree, the Two Dark Souls games takes place on another, and the Bloodborne games on a third.
>>128145702
>Bloodborne is Dark Souls when the flame has extinguished.
I dont think this is exactly it. Just extinguishing the flame doesn't account for Old Ones.
Dark Souls 3 is going to be the world of Dark Souls when the flame has extinguished.
>>128162642
Its just boring because in the end at 200+ everyone is some sort of mixed caster, probably Hexes with Dark infused DEX weapon.
>>128162694
they're functional hitboxes, they're just not good.
and yes it would be possible, you just have to learn to play around the shit hitboxes, learn the enemy animations, know how to pery. it's not hard just shit.
>>128162647
nigger go replay DS1
>>128162821
>>128162967

>>128161820
yes, I do
if you focus on Fashion Souls it really doesn't matter what level you go to, because arbitrary restrictions on what weapons/magic you use because others look shit with your build make it kind of irrelevant

>>128164246
yeah, pretty much
generally speaking the only useful stuff you get from armor is poise and bonuses like the Jester's Set, but if you really want to you can stack elemental defenses, which do make a difference
physical resistance is useless though, and poise only works for the first couple of hits from an opponent, unlike DaS1 where you can tank through literally anything other than Anor Londo enemies and monstrous bosses with poise

Why do only some of the forest hunters respawn anyway? And why does that shitty mage have to be one who does?
>>128165121

>>128165129
No, it's because it has a gorillion HP, does a fuckton of damage and has broken hitboxes.
Is an enchanted weapon better then a normal plus 15 which is buffed?
>>128165519
It almost looks like he gets hit from behind but I assume that's part of the scenery
>>128165580
depends on your stats.
>>128157765
as a huge DeS and DaS1 fag, magic, hexes, and miracles are really fun to use in DaS2 with the introduction of attunement raising cast speed/giving extra casts. this alleviated the issue of magic outside of CMW/HCM/Pursuers useless.
melee, on the other hand is a complete trainwreck because most weapons stagger in 1 hit, resulting in whoever having the longest reach weapons having the easier time in PvP-- coincidentally, this is greatswords/ultra greatswords/spears/twinblades.
combine this with the fact that people have figured out how to stunlock past 2 hits with the use of Binoculars as of a month ago, and without future patching (re-balancing of PvP so that DaS2 PvP will be dead.
at this point, the complaint of Soul Memory is irrelevant because of the Agape Ring. But people are still left w/ a sour taste in their mouths.
>>128166427

Man why are people such pussies. When I invade anything past starting areas it's full of havel mages gank squads who refuse to move from the bonfire.
>DaS3 is apparently taking place in or near Anor Londo somehow

If she does return, hopefully she takes on more of a role this time, considering she was semi-scrapped and just made into a boss last time.

It's still kind of a pain in the ass if you're just doing a normal first playthrough and don't want to try and keep track of your soul memory and you still need to level up.
What the fuck ?
So I figured Ds1 will never get backwards compatibility ever so i got it on pc,

In the into to DS, nito is still a giant skeleton made of tiny skeletons, before humans existed?
>>128166981
I posted this a while ago, shit I think I might on leddit
what if the Abyss and/or the Chaos got into the Painted World somehow, transforming Priscilla? She could look normal until she's attacked, where instead of turning invisible she transforms into either:
A: a quick, slender Abyssal monster that uses her dagger (except corrupted in some way idk)
B: a towering demon from the Chaos which uses her Scythe, casts Chaos Storms everywhere, will fuck you up if you get hit, but is slow
shieeeeeet, we could get a Daughter of Chaos-esque covenant where Jeremiah (he's still around somehow) gets you to perform tasks to purge the painted world of the Chaos and the Abyss, will give you Chaos pyromancies and his set in return
alternatively, you could just do the tasks yourself without a covenant and you find his set somewhere, who knows
if you save Priscilla she gives you her weapons (you can just craft them if you kill her) and have conversations with her, jut for waifufaggots

>>128169109
I don't care much about it when I invade. Poison and ranged attacks take care of it.

>>128169429ciaran
>>128169449
>I mean wth are these guys doing in PvE
Precisely that, PvEing. Being bad aside, which everyone is for some time, having extra people helps safeguard the time investment both in PvE and to help them bypass PvP.
>I'm a PvE player. I don't like/I'm bad at PvP. So to help me not lose progress and/or get even more frustrated, maybe I'll have some people help me along in the event unwanted PvP comes along
You want to PvP, go play the arena. Invading others and complaining how they won't "fight fair" is just whining.
>>128163323
As opposed to DaS1 where being a dickwraith means staying low level for as long as possible

shit, I can see why that made people mad. They already have a very long aggro range, and it seems like all the enemies follow you indefinitely once aggroed.

>>128170817
Because you're bad as shit. Anyone can be bad as shit. Which means it's all the more reason or justification for them to have phantoms around, most of them are in conscience they're bad as shit and so want to be handheld.
They're in as much right of being in a gang as you are of invading them, which is why I started the whole debacle up there about why complaining about invading a gang is hogwash

>there are people in this general who don't use the deadzone fix
just got SotFS
so it doesnt carry over saved data? wtf....
>>128173623
>>128174805
>there are people who'd risk getting banned for this
>>128174950
Who got banned for it? I'd rather fix my controls than trust some rumour.
>>128173923
>Finally manage to get a host on top of the fortress, about to whack the giant's shit
>he crystals me out in order to use the bonfire
co-oping in the funhouse is the most ungratifying shit I've done in this game
Is there any way to carry character data over to SotFS?
>>128175448
CE copy & paste.
>>128175546
will technojack do the trick?
>>128174805
no anon don't you know movement is just SO MUCH BETTER in ds2 it needs no fix
I know Dark Souls is a huge game but honestly after knowing where everything is it doesn't feel all that big. Like I went and looked on the wiki to see if there were any bosses or areas I hadn't been to and it's like, shit. I've done it all.

Belfry Luna summons are happen less because most of the covenant members are hanging out at belfry sol farming the mad warrior.
>>128176551
So play another, there are 3 more
should i just buy all 3DLC or SotFS?
Need help/advice, some of the gear drop changes seem nice in SotFS but ugh fuck re-leveling.
And some ppl might suggest CE but I intend to play online, is it safe to mod a legal build offline then go online?
>>128177267
SOTFS by far, unless you want to use texture mods and don't mind a reduced playerbase
Haven't done this in so long.
Do we still have events? Do we only only pvp on DaS2 nowadays?
>>128177267
SotFS. it is more active online.
>>128177471
There have a been a few fightclubs on DaS lately. Whenever bone man feels likes having one it seems.
>>128177445
oh it affects the playerbase?
hell I didn't know that, maybe that's why everything seemed dead when I started playing again
>>128174805
why would you "fix" superior mechanics™?
>losing 43 humanity fall in crystal caves
god, i can't even remember the last time i lost souls/humanity in this game
i blame myself for dying to seath
>>128174137
+20-ish AR from fire doesn't seem that hot considering the 2hl2 weapon buff adds 50 magic ar has a 1.2~1.3 multiplier. For 300~400 magic damage(with scaling bns), that's like +60~80 AR at least.
>>128177794
No kidding. Why I went magic.
>>128177613
Knightly fights or just vanilla?
Also there's no anti-CE shit going on since the change to steam right?
is under 30% equip load worth it with some poise and +100 fashion, or is it safe to go up to 40%?
>>128178119
Knightly fights? Idk, he just summons a bunch of red and white phantoms and they duel.
Vanilla invasions, they are pretty dead outside of the hotspots.
Hey /dsg/. I made a low SM co-op character (I sit at 49.9k), do you think it'd be worth it to throw 5 levels into fth or int for a permanent weapon buff, or just spend some time farming resin? I do a lot of damage anyway.
SL33, 10vgr, 10end, 19dex, rapier +9 currently. would have to drop to 14 dex to be able to use a catalyst
>invading in dukes
>3 invasions in a row are two dudes hiding and then using fire storm
ok
>>128173029
i know man, that fucker is satan
>>128179386
SL?
>>128179560
50
i bet you are one of the memers that lit my ass on fire
hey /dsg/ two important questions for you
Is there a concise table/webpage showing any changes done to weapon and spell balance in SotFS?
Does the trick to remove name censorship still work and how to do it? you switch it with the chinese file or something right?
The pickaxe is so fucking garbage. Why is it such a pain in the ass to get?
>>128179620
Nah, I don't have anything in that level range at the moment or I'd participate
>>662638746
Help please
>make it to Undead Purgatory
>big fucking Dark Spirit with a big fucking sword and a big fucking shield
>"okay just stay agile and dodge out the attacks. it's just an AI."
>Dark Spirit takes a flying fucking leap at me with its sword too big to be called a sword held in one hand
>deftly roll to the left
>Spirit pivots around midair and swings its sword down 90 degrees from where it started, right on my body as soon as the roll ends
fucking fantastic game design
just lost 45k souls with 10 humanity on the way to Blighttown kill me senpai
>>128179298
Nah, weapon buffs are more for boosting a magic user's melee weapon, i.e. someone that has invested all their stats into INT/FTH. You also need an elemental infused weapon for the buffs to be most efficient.
Just use resins for bonus damage or just do without. On a weapon with no innate elemental damage, they only do 50 AR anyways.
I'm trying to get the Dark Wraith covenant for achievements. Should I do Four Kings first on my first playthrough, or just kill Ingward and do it immediately on my second?
>>128180361
I can't help you git gud. Man up.
>>128180361
Think of the good things, Anon, at least there isn't soul memory.
what are competitive SM in SotFS for agape ring
>>128179796
Black dragon pick is the same way. Most of the rare weapons suck.
>>128179796
doesnt it get like crazy crits?
I recall it having something like that
>>128180641
I read the wiki page and it said before a patch it would do 2 hits at once with the 2h R1 attack. It's mostly just hard to actually hit people with it. If you parry and riposte the damage is crazy though, but that doesn't happen much. I've gotten a shield break riposte on a guy and that was good, but only once.
fresh bread when
Best dagger for a quality build? Using it mostly for criticals
>>128181783
Dagger and Shadow Dagger are really hard to beat Umbral if your dex is higher. Assuming DaS2, because its bandit knife on DaS1
>>128181906
quality build
might farm a Shadow Dagger, cheers anon
>>128181906
Beat. Go Umbral*
>>128182047
considering strength doesn't double its bonus on 2h, im not sure what quality means in DaS2.
So I just faced the Sanctuary Guardian for the first time without trying to cut off its tail.
Why is the fight so much better when you're trying to cut its tail off? He's too easy otherwise.
What's easy mode in SotFS? Other than just buying a lot of life gems from Melentia.
Hex/magic in general or quality/bow for pulling?
>people calling anything mildly difficult "the dark souls of x"
>>128183103
>not picking girls up with the line "My dick is so hard, it's the dark souls of penises"
Step it up senπ
i just got all the pyromancies where the fuck is my achievement
>>128183472
settle down gondola
Which bonfire resets Smelter? I broke my fucking Blades +1 on a NG co-op character and the SM to repair it will put me in a new bracket
>>128183543
Why not use the Pagan Tree in Shulva?
>>128183543

>>128183543
Threshold
also
>>128183638
Does asceticing Undead Ditch let you access the King's memory still, or do you have to kill Vendrick again?
>>128183743
>>128183638
Not the guy with the ring, but...
Neat, I found this guy, but I never knew what he did. For anyone else as ignorant as me-
http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/pagan-tree
>>128184073
He'll respawn but I'm not sure if he'll be hostile or not
>>128184428
oh fuck
ty anon
>>128184221
>http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/pagan-tree
>you can kill it if you hit it too many (3) times
Why?
>>128184560
Best of luck anon. If he's not hostile you should be able to go into the memory
>>128184660
Yeah, he was fine
thanks again anon
it's pretty stupid that Vendrick's Blessing only lasts your currrent playthrough, considering that by the point you get all three crowns and the Ashen Mist Heart there's like one or two bosses left anyway
>>128184648
it respawns like any other enemy npc tho
>>128167238
>paying attention to SM
face it you just want to twink invade heides tower of flame
Nearing Page 11, boyos.
>>128183638
I don't have the DLC
>>128183743
Thanks
Been a while since I played DaS2. I know there's no meta for multiplayer but I'm at 280k SM. I've defeated Last Giant, Purserer, Rat Vanguard, Sentry, Dragonrider, Sentinels and Skelly Lords. Am I doing okay?
>>128186248
Yes
>>128185401
Not him, but soul memory is still a pain in the ass. My one character stayed at 200 sl, and eventually was like 20 mil SM. All i ever got summoned for were havelmosters and dark magic guys. Was kind of boring.
Trying to keep my current guy at below 5 mil currently.
>>128186310
Thank you senpai
>>128186448
it also makes it almost impossible to co-op low level noobs
Someone might want to make a new thread?
>>128186682
I would but I have no idea how to create threads
