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

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.

>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.

>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.

>>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.

>>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.

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.

you can use a bonfire ascetic, but you have to kill nashandra

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.

When you go hollow you basically empty, leaving just a husk that moves on instinct.. essentially you lose your humanity and go "hollow"

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.

>>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.

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

>>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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Something like that. Hits harder at close range as opposed to using it to snipe far away enemies.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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.
