DARK GWYN'S BOIBUTT
(1)2 HOURS
halberd still the best for pve y/n
DeS is comfy
>>138392532
Guaranteed set up parry on third strike.
1rd for GMG key when tho
Has anyone here bought a steam key from CDkeys?
It stills says its in pre order and have to wait for my key
How low is the drop rate for a Cathedral Knight Greatsword?
I need it for my planned build for my first character.
Should I take gold coins as my gift to up the chances or are they so low I'd just burn through the coins for nothing
>>138392598
Straight Swords are the best for PvE and are arguably top tier in pvp.
>>138392616
Stunlock only lasts for 2 hits though so there's no reason to attack 3+ times consecutively.
>>138392598
No, straight swords fucking rip and tear everything apart.
Halberds are still good though, use whatever you like, keep in mind almost every halberd is only any good on a quality build.
LEAK FUCKKING WHEN
>>138392632
Buy through steam
Preload
Back up preload files
Get a refund
Wait for your key
I suppose it's too early to ask, seeing as how only streamers have been able to play... I wonder if das3 will be as softban happy as 2? Will there be softbans at all?
>>138392682
Just like all the other weapons and armor pieces. 1%.
>mfw I ran into a havelshitter for the first time
Are they worse in DS3?
This is DS2 and he just focken stood there taking it while whamming me with a twinblade.
>>138392632
>>138392639
Why not just buy it from steam?
>Nameless King spear + sunlight straight sword for close range
>>138392760
Its 60 bucks on steam and it was 27 for me on CDkeys thats why
I want to support From Software but I dont have too much money.
>>138392714
give me aboutstop this fucking meme
>>138392687
The average dark sword goose will smash that r1 till he's out of stamina.
Against someone who doesn't I'd just use the perseverance halberd to deny his second strike while also out trading and reducing damage taken.
>>138392714
Two hours
Ludex
>>138392745
No one uses Havel armor in DaS3.
Now, his shield on the other hand...
>>138392745
Generally anyone with a twinblade or havel's is a shitter. Just roll away when he starts spamming.
>>138392836

AW SHIT NIGGA

Then again I'm tired as fuck to go out now after doing HIIT.
>>138392725

A-Anon..
>>138392725

time for another souls game without CE
>>138392801
1839 rub = 27 usd
lmao
>>138392913
>this is a secret release
hmmm
>>138392471
I'm so glad that quality is finally great. Every souls game I've went quality, praying that my hit to health would be worth the extra damage
Thank you DaS3 for granting the dream of a playstyle made viable
Poorfag here trying to scrape together enough steam-dollars to get the game
We're all gonna' make it
I'll see you fuckers online
>>138393023
Being slav has it's bonuses. Sometimes.
So is a bleed-luck build too gimmicky to do, even with weapons that already have bleed by default?
Is just using the bleed resin better overall?
>>138393039
meanwhile, every other playstyle is not viable
>>138393089
Dex build with those curved swords and bleed resin
Luck is trash
>>138393023
What the hell. Is this how they do it? Buy it in Russia bucks then resell it in real money?
>>138393089
>kalamety ring
for what?
>>138393089
Luck is not worth it.
>>138393089
Warden twinswords.
>>138393163
but can't you just respec it later?
>>138393121
Good thing the meta is completely centered around quality builds not having to make any sacrifices then, everyone will play the same build so other playstyles don't need to exist.
>>138393204
Yeah, but its really not worth putting points in.
>>138392914
>>138392987
On PC, idiots. You can't really mod or inject anything on a console, unless you have modded hardware...
>>138393010
>>138393159
that icon shows up if you're wearing any of the Clutch rings too.
>>138393249
What are you on about anon?
>>138393219
God dammit. I knew it would happen. The meta level would be decided by idiots who HAVE to have softcapped everything.
Why do we let these jobbers ruin it for the rest of us every time
>>138393089
Pretty much requires 100% uptime on the Karthus Bleed Resin and a dual weapon with bleed, even then its not even that good.
>>138393247
b-but muh items
>>138393249
M8 they're giggling at you because tons of people switched to jap PS4 to play early
Of course now you just look like a fool
>>138393371
Why do you hate varied builds?
>>138393403
why not use the twin daggers with bleed infusion or what not, since they are faster?
>>138392471
>Literaly ZERO nito stuff or refs in DaS3
Why is life so awful and miyazaki such a nito hater?
What's the drake sword of das3?
>>138393371
When there's only one viable build, why shouldn't you set the meta at a level where that build can thrive?
>>138393497
dark sword
>>138393460
hahahaha epic bros xDDD
>>138393497
Quality broadsword
Even lothric bros and nameless gp down like bitches
>>138393476
His Scythe makes an appereance.
>>138393089
Is that final/late stage hollowing? Do you become a cool skeleton?
>>138393468
Quality isn't varied, it's pure melee, it only uses one weapon, and the only difference is scaling off of two physical stats
>>138393070
i know the feel. i ended up using a gift card my sister gave me 4 years ago.
>>138393371
It's Miyazaki's fault really.
The infusion system is pure shit and makes it so that every weapon is best on a quality build, whereas in the past there were weapons that were good on pure STR/DEX builds, because you could put points into other stats. Now that there's no reason to play anything other than quality, the meta is of course going to be based around the only build that matters.
Why would you make sacrifices if everyone's playing the same build? Just hit the softcaps on everything so everyone is equal, but with different weapons. Miyazaki might not have intended this, but it's likely his fault regardless.
>>138393569
nito doesn't even have a scythe
>>138393581
you just get very beef jerkied, he's wearing the Darkwraith Mask.
>>138393521
itt: sissy slut gets booty blasted over nothing
>>138393632
He means probably Gravelord Sword. Dark Edge is the hex version of that.
>>138393615
Fuck off Tanimura
testing to confirm timezone 4chan uses
>>138393632
His hand is part Scythe anon.
>>138393726
Great retort, you've really bolstered the quality of this discussion.
>>138393476
His Gravelord Sword should have been in the game, there's always be a shortage of curved greatswords in the Souls series.
>>138392471
Guys which one is better for Strength build?
Are low level int/fth weapon infusions worth it?
>>138393709
Aldrich also uses it.
>>138393153
These copies are regionlocked, so you can only play them in Russia and CIS. 27 USD is a pretty large sum in slavland so the price is fair. Before the dumb sanctions however the games really were cheaper.
There are russian cd-key websites where you can buy it for even cheaper. I found the top listing on a popular website for 1559 pyб = 23 $
>>138393807
>125
Fuck, anon. Just take 5 points out of endurance, you don't fucking need 40 endurance in this game. What, are you trying to R1 mash with a greataxe?
>>138393695
I asked a simple question!
>>138393587
A quality build by definition can use any weapon.
Limiting your build to just dex or just str is how you end up using just one weapon.
This argument against quality builds is retarded and I hope you realize it.

I was talking about russia.
>EUR
>Slavland
>>138393910
>slavland
>EUR
Something doesnt add up here
>>138393891
A quality build that wants to be competitive uses a weapon which scales off both Str and Dex fairly equally. Otherwise if you're using say a katana with steep Dex scaling the points you put into Str are being wasted.
Use your brain moran.
>>138393471
Bleed infusion adds like 6 bleed and makes it so you can't buff it.
APPROXIMATELY 12 (TWELVE) H O U R S
>>138392471
>Meta always gets driven higher and higher when the game releases
>people realize it should have been lower the entire time after tuning patches hit
I'm going to love the shitshow of a meta after quality weapons are nerfed. Not every build needs to hit all the softcaps, heaven forbid there are weaknesses.
>Hornet ring singlehandedly(somewhat) forcing high vigor
>>138393873
yes ;-)
Anyone know if the das1 servers are fucked?
I haven't been able to invade or do any co-op since yesterday.
>>138393901
YES
I have to say, for all of DaS2's faults they did try to balance the thing.
Remember how binoboosting got removed. How armor ratings were lowered. Hexes no longer were guranteed one shots.
Hell the lil squinty eyed squirts even put out patch notes.
You can bet your ass DaS3 will never get that sort of treatment. I doubt any of Miyazakis games will. Some part of his stupid "its part of the experience" design philosophy
>>138394118
Theyve always been shit
>>138393910
blame your parents for voting yes to enter EU
>>138394118
is that frampt wearing a mask or skrillex?
>>138394118
DaS multiplayer has extremely shit connectivity, so don't expect anything from it. I had to complete the game without any summons/invasions during my first run and I thought it was normal.
>>138394175
The whole family voted no.
>Mound Maker summoning signs are now white
>>138394029
well fuck my titties. at least you get a quickstep
imagine getting kicked by this shit
>>138394158
Bloodborne got plenty of balance patches and patch notes, you dopey faggot.
>>138394215
blame democracy then
>>138393998
>A quality build that wants to be competitive uses a weapon which scales off both Str and Dex fairly equally.
Such as any weapon infused with Refined, which can be anything except unique weapons.
And any of those unique weapons will be outright better on a quality build.
Use your own.
>>138394240
You wouldn't get stabbed if that's what you're implying. Sabatons are merely articulated plate covers for boots, they aren't rigid enough to puncture.
You'd get mildly punted by the boot at the top.
Kicking is a bad idea with sabatons on anyway.
>>138394240
holy shit my sides how are you supposed to walk in that without tripping over everything
>>138392471
>All the OP builds are already known
>Meta levels are set

Kind of takes the fun out of the pvp, hopefully its not widespread.

>using the NPC phantom glitch to kill Dancer 10 minutes into the game
this is pretty broke tho
>>138394240
Aren't these the shoes that the Dancer wears?
>>138394387
you typically only wore them for ceremonial shit or on horseback.
>>138394220
Stop lying.
>>138394574
That still works?
I want to start with a motherfucking luck build. How late in the game to you get Anri's sword without killing the NPC?
hahah remember when ds2 released on pc and everyone here was like "omg don't pirate it some anon put a screamer file into the game"
crack up tbqh famiroo
Buy ds3 Physical or digital?
On ps4 because friends
>>138394617
yeah I just did it, sort of debating trying to kill Oceiros now
>>138394523
Platform doesn't matter, people tryhard everywhere.
>>138394676
PC mainly has meme builds though
>>138394491
Could someone explain those slipper things?
They look similiar to your image but are cloth and curve upwards. Whats the point? Do they somehow make you sneaky or something?
>>138394650
I got it digital because I am impatient. I am pretty sure disc or digital has the same load times??? Someone correct me if I am wrong.
>>138394712
What the fuck is this console war memeing?
PC and consoles both have tons of people doing that shit, it's hardly relegated to one platform.
HELLO AMIGOS, ARE THERE ANY GOOD SPEARS YOU CAN ACQUIRE EARLY?
>>138394757
you can start with a spear
>>138394732
Digital always has faster loading times.
>>138394712
It's like I'm really on /v/
>>138394757
you can buy the standard spear from Greirat pretty early
>every pvp video I see is people gankspanking 1v4
so what's that about japanese players calling western players casuls?
>>138394757
Partizan is in Undead Settlement
>>138394752except one has the ability to cheat freely so therein lies the war
I've played DS2 on consoles and PC, its the same in both places regarding tryhards barring one key difference.
>>138394861
>Watching pvp videos
have a smug
>>138394757
>are there any good spears
no
Well there's two but they're both 'unique' weapons and one's a lategame boss soul trade in.
>>138394917
t-thanks anon
>>138394712
meme builds are mostly non-broken and allow variety even if you don't want to use a meme build
broken builds allow no variety outside their circlejerk, except if you don't mind not winning ever
>>138394917
nanodesu
does bleed/poison/toxic aux damage scale with luck?
i.e does luck make poison mist poison people faster? or make gnaw cause more bleed build up?
>>138394965
>and one's a lategame boss soul trade in.
and the second one?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>138395110
gargoyle's spear maybe?
>>138395110
Is Dragonslayer. Top-tier spear third game in a row.
Can someone post the boss/area progression image?
>>138394628
pontiff fight i think if, think you ahve to summon her for that. or was it alderich. i dunt know
i had to kill her because i aggrod skeletons while wearing thorn armor talkin to her after killin horce so she aggrod on me
So is Knight just the best?
Why did Dark souls III receive such poor marketing in the west? There is like no hype for this game in comparison to games like fallout 4.
>>138395110
he probably meansthe dragonslayer spear, which you can only get after beating the late game boss he mentioned
>>138395116
>>138395221
If you dont know what to play
>>138395116

>>138394158
>DkS2
>balance
So balanced that an R1 from katana deals more damage than an R2 from UGS. So balanced you can't hyperarmour through stone ring longsword running R1 unless wearing full havel's. So balanced that playing with a straight sword, spear or estoc takes zero effort, while UGS' require a lot of practice and learning to become decent (and even then, between two equal opponents, the one wielding faster weapon will always win, no exceptions). Don't even get me started on attack cancels, which, again, take no effort to pull off with katana, but require practice with UGS.
But anyway:
>playing Souls for PvP
Off yourself, cancer.
>>138395243still dex & faith scaling?
>>138395116
NUUUUAAAGGHHHH
>>138395110
is a spear that shoots tornadoes about 15m and knocks players down.
i think it's a midgame weapon, it's a random drop from the enemies that wield them.
>>138395197
>>138395243
oh dragonslayer spear is alright too, 3 spears. Pretty sure you get that on the way to said late game boss, don't need to beat him.
>>138395221
Knight best for not magic
Pyromancer best for magic
>>138395281
>warrior
no, attunement is useful for weapon arts. Luck is are much more useless stat.
>>138395116
the helmet is decent, but the rest looks like construction paper.
PSA: Don't save the NPC at the bottom of the high wall level.(you will need a key to open the door to his jail cell) He is another Lautrec and will fuck your game up.
>>138395281
1 point for 4 levels in att
yeah nah, I will always pick knight unless somehow all of the weapons for the build I have in mind have shitty WAs
>>138395287
>DS
>for PVE
It's not MMO. You can beat game naked. NG+ doesn't change anything except damage
>>138395357
difference between knight and war is only 21 fp
>>138395379
Nah its real metal. Its just made that way so other cosplayers don't feel outclassed
>>138395384
keke
>>138395407
1 level for 21 more fp
sounds good to me
warrior is shit
>>138395403
>It's not MMO
No, it's a single-player action RPG with tacked on shitty unbalanced PvP that was not good in any game in the series.
>>138395384
stop.
>>138395387
Why would you pick warrior when you can take deprived for extra stats at level 1?
>>138395330
yeah B dex, D faith, D strength
it's insane with just softcap dex, 20 str (req) and no faith though
i feel like it's going to get nerfed but i hope not
>>138395469
Go away, dirty thief, everyone needs to know you're a degenerate
IN LIBRARY
DARK SOULSâ„¢ III is already in your Steam library

This game will unlock in approximately 12 hours

>>138395543
Eygon get out you called my waifu a degenerate.
>>138395521
because there will never be a not shit build that needs 10+ in every single stat unless it's SL387
>>138395460
PvP is unbalanced and uncompetetive
Was still fun though. Hell, I bet DaS3 will have the same treatment as every other souls game. Long after a PVE focused game would have died theres a PvP community still bickering over builds and fight clubs
>>138395521
end this meme
>>138395603
almost every weapon in this game has garbage scaling really.
You think the prima guide is worth it? I already completed the game in Japanese on the ps4, so I'm not really needing this as a guide, more like a compendium of some sorts. Or would be the game state be too volatile because of patches and balancing to justify getting the guide? Not sure, anyone got these guides for other dark souls/bloodborne? Would you still say it was worth it after all this time?

Fortunately I can't remember who that is; thank you for being awesome.

I firmly believe that this is the least playtested game they've made. Its very apparent that BB was where the focus went.
The B-team meme doesn't end.
>>138396001
actually since the last 3 stats don't matter, knight has 73 at sl9 while deprived has 60 at sl1

did they remove soul memory and the shit about enemies not respawning after some time?

>>138396132
Well, you look at the stats you don't level when choosing a class, and deprived has more total points in int, faith and luck than knight.

Is Miyzaki going to ruin yet another game by preventing item/weapon dropping and making invasions practically non-existent outside of specified PvP zones? Maria, Orphan, and Logarius are the only things keeping Bloodborne from Lords of the Fallen tier derivative garbage.
