What are some of the complaints you have about the game /dsg/ ?
1) Weapon-memory or whatever the fuck it’s called ruins matchmaking, for the sake of few twinks.
2) No sin-system and no blue-eye orb.
3) Blue Sentinels and Darkmoons being the same covenant
4) Poise system. While DaS1 system had it’s issues like poise-stabbing, the new poise-system favours the one with the faster weapon.
5) Way too many references to the previous games and it makes the game feel like it has no content of it’s own.

Hate to say it but you're probably too high SL, apparently most people are 20-25 at Road of Sacrifices. If you have a weapon upgraded higher than +2 or +3 that could also be a problem, even more so if it's a boss weapon that's highly upgraded.
>mfw I kill nameless kings dragon
>>138969913
Oh, I know, which is a testament to how fucked the online capabilities of the game are. As good as the single player game might be, I'm thinking the longevity which multiplayer should grant it won't happen.
Also, glad they kept the best armor set from Dark Souls 2. It deserved to be in a good game.

Difference being, Drangleic was supposed to take place in an entirely different place and it had so many linking connections to Lordran. Where we are now, is Lordran many, many ages in the future. It makes more sense for a few things from Drangleic in Lordran than half of the fucking things from Lordran in Drangleic.

I don't have trouble with any boss in the game EXCEPT maybe Nameless, but Crystal Sage... I don't know. Something about it just doesn't click with me.
>>138970090
He apparently dies of his own volition after you clear Grand Archives, so you might want to wait.People also speculate that if you time his leaving properly you can save Greirat from dying at Lothric Castle.

>>138969974
My single biggest complaint is the jerkiness and floatiness of the player-character's animations.
Seriously, this is second only to Dark Souls 2 in being the worst player-character animations in the franchise.
The player strafes and walks and moves around WAY too fast. It makes him look so jerky and floaty.
The roll in particular is the most weightless I've seen in the series.
Bloodborne had it perfect with the walking and running, which is ironic because it's the faster game, yet it's not jerky or floaty.

I'm SL31 with a +2 and I get invades fairly regularly. SL31 can invade Sl20 in forest so it's no problem

I love that episode too
Honestly gonna be one of the most memorable things I will look back to when thinking about this game
>>138970093
>Hate to say it but you're probably too high SL
Seriously? That's some pretty restrictive SL requirement for an entire covenant...
> If you have a weapon upgraded higher than +2 or +3
I'm using a +2 Vordt's hammer, but why would that matter?
just finished the game, no summons, it was amazing. is there anything worth doing before going to ng+? i've killed all the npcs i had, gave the ashes to whatsername, does she still have the items in ng+?

>>138967898
Its a good concept. Fixes twinking without fucking with people who just want to sit in a spot and co-op or invade forever.
All it had to do is only count weapons in your inventory and I'd have had no complaints.
The highest upgrade you've ever made is retarded and has most of the same problems that Soul Memory does.
From always does this. They have a really good idea but them implement it in a really fucking stupid way that almost completely negates any benefit it would have had.
>>138970283
Literally how. I've had a character that's been SL28 with +2 weapon for 12 hours.
Where do you wait for invasions to pop? Are you embered? Do you sit at a bonfire where it still flashes, or do you move away from it?
Information, please. I'm getting desperate.

Yeah it's probably a bug or something, might be fixed on Monday or just broken more.
>I'm using a +2 Vordt's hammer, but why would that matter?
Your highest level of weapon upgrade determines your PvP tier. Putting weapons in bottomless box doesn't change it, it's bound to the character.

I was more bothered by the fact the ambushing dragon at Archdragon Peak is silent. Unless it was bugged for me. But it was completely silent, even after landing and breathing fire, but everything else in the area made a sound.
>>138970012
It's about the execution.
Dark Souls 3 is a true sequel, addressing the content of Dark Souls 1 as a continuation.
Dark Souls 2 tried to do it's own thing, but at the same time act coy and mysterious about the connection.
It's a difference of:
>This is Anor Londo. Here's what happened when you were gone.
>Could this maybe possibly be Lordran but it's not? We'll never know!
>>138970271

Dude no way. this place keeps getting cooler.
>>138970378
>you still take damage and you lose 80% of your stamina
PvP is fucking vile in this game.
I can stand the constant 3-4v1's.
I can stand everyone using identical builds
I can stand the estus system
But I can't fucking stand that lunge attacks have seemingly 360 degree, 7 meter ranges
I can't stand that the way to avoid pyromancy or magic attacks is to literally slowly take a step to the side
I can't stand that the range on magic/pyromancy is so fucking pitiful.
Fuck this game's PvP element.
are there any decent DEX weapons besides Estoc,Carthus curved sword and Warden Twinblades?
haven't tried Ricard's Rapier yet
so is the Demon Greataxe any good? using the BKGA right now
also where the hell are the greataxes in this game? only six?
Is it worth upgrading the Onislayer Bow?
>>138969957
TALKING ABOUT OLD DEMON KING
how the fuck are you supposed to do him as a melee?
is there some cheese I'm missing?
what the fuck is up with this dude
You know, actually after two days of pvp 3vs1 or 4vs1 fights are not so bad. They're awesome. Especially invading in catacombs or other ass areas. At 60SL +9 weapon I can invade everywhere and it's really fun
>>138970306
pls respond
Someone give me good Quality weapons that aren't a longsword
>>138970097
40 hours between Blue Sentinels and Darkmoon, and not a single summon.

>>138970097
Do blue sentinels get summoned for anything else than red phantoms? Like, do they get summoned for Aldrich servants or Farron wolves?
And considering how fucked the matchmaking apparently is in this game, it's no fucking wonder. Who at From thought that splitting the playerbase along the lines of weapon upgrade levels was a good idea? Preventing twinks from ganking low level players is not fucking worth it if it breaks online play this bad.
I freed Karla but I can't find her at firelink. Am I missing something?
>>138970437
Wherever, generally just sitting on the walkway outside of the old wolf bonfire. I don't think it matters though, I've gotten wolf summons while running towards cathedral. As long as the covenant is flashing it should be active
I am embered but I don't think it matters. Are you sure you're wearing the covenant item?

>but at the same time act coy and mysterious about the connection.
Dark Souls 3 doesn't do this? Do you even read the item descriptions? Just look at the fucking Armor of the Sun.
Yes, we KNOW it's Solaire's armor, but it still acts coy and mysterious about it.
Same with the Drangleic Shield. Yes, we know the "Old King of Want" is Vendrick, but the game still acts coy and mysterious about it.
>>138970306

What are your guys' favorite new NPCs so far?
Mine are Sirris, Leonhard, and Irina and Eygon (I like them more in relation to each other than individual characters). Anri and Horace are cool too.
>>138970546
Try the Cathedral. Fun as fuck, as long as the host isn't actually inside.
Has anyone tried selling off all their upgraded equipment in their inventories and boxes and seeing if Weapon Memory™ still remembers them when matchmaking?

Actually, it works in Dark Souls 2, as long as you go to NG+. I'd tell you to try it yourself, but why play Dark Souls 2?
>>138970723
>Claws, Bows, Maces, Whips, Fists, Scythe, all useless in PvP and get R1 spammed by LS or Estoc shitters
this is the main reason why the pvp is and will be shit. You can't make every weapon stagger becase the best weapon will be the one that hits the fastest and has the best reach.

Well, it took me ~4 times less attempts on Demon King than on Watchers. As melee. Not sure what exactly is hard, if you stay close to him, he keeps using the same attacks that are easily rolled, and P2 is literally run-away-from-meteor-shower and don't-forget-to-roll-through-the-ring.

I saved him.
Went to Irithyll, met Siegward, went back to Firelink, sent Greirat to irithyll, went back to Siegward for another chat, beat Pontiff. Then Greirat comes back saying he survived thanks to an Onion Knight.
He's probably going to wind up dead at Lothric though.

>Sirris never went to Firelink after I talked to Anri
>I killed Morne and touched her with his gauntlets but her dialogue is bugged
>If you miss Anri in the catacombs she disappears, literally does not reappear anywhere, alive or dead, even if you kill Horace and backtrack
>Pilgrim died as soon as I completed Farron keep, never got a chance to talk to him
>>138970962
I actually tried blue sentinels in NG+, between 2.5m to 3.5m SM. No invasions whatsoever, also having SM and no Blue-Eye Orb at the same time was shit
HALP
>>138970956
pretty sure siegward has to be there in the kitchen at the right moment
>>138969898
>that synchronized chug
Looked like it was accidental but I laughed my ass off
It was almost as if you were mocking him
>>138970821
how about drop the dark sword you fucking heretic and pick up a mace like a real temple knight
Why are the covenant rewards so pitiful and useless?
Why are they geared towards specific types of players instead of useful for everyone like Red Eye Orb, 0 req Gravelord Sword Dance, Dragon Stone?
Why are there no +3 rewards despite having an obvious tier for them since you can donate up to 80 covenant items, and sometimes more?
Why are most of the covenant leaders DEAD?
>>138970930
I miss Vengar armor breh and lucy
>>138970971
From could fix it by reverting weapon upgrade based matchmaking. This shit makes Soul Memory look like the work of a fucking genius.
fuck the abyss watchers, i refuse to summon for them. the second phase is just pure cancer, holy shit
>>138970461
Mate..
The ring only boosts damage miracles, your buffs don't scale off of it..
Lightning clutch ring also adds damage!
Faith feels strong as fuck at 50, to be honest.
Why does pyromancy and fire magic hurt me if I'm already on fire in cinder form?
>>138970821
>Temple Knight
>only wearing a tiny breastplate
peasant soldier, more like
>>138970969
It baffles me that they made whips do dagger tier damage while being greatsword slow. Not only that, but the only good reach a whip has is the WA while the rest of the moveset is aimed toward the fucking ground for some reason. What the hell.
>>138970582
It's bugged. Farron bugged too. Some people are simply locked out of those 3 covenants for some reason, while having no issues with Aldritch.
>finally finish the game
>went through every square inch in all the areas because autism
>still miss/fail every single sidequest
fug:D
>>138970097
0 times.
My friend has been summoned a shit load though, apparently all the blue fagging just happens in Farron Keep and Cathedral.
Everything else after I don't think I've seen one blue fag.
>>138970498
backstab that fuck.
>>138970969
>I don't know how to use these weapons so they suck.
Fuck off.

You can fly idiot!

If I stay close to him he does the 8 attack combo that kills you anywhere in a radius of 50 miles and the breathe down for near instant kill
WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT IN INVADING IF THEY'RE ALL SMOOTH CRIMINALS?! FUCKING NETCODE! FUCKING FROM! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>138971086
pls tell me what to do

>mfw there are more dragons in ds3 than there were in ds2

>mfw the literal king of the kingdom the game is taking place in is obsessed with dragons as are 2/3 of his kingdom's pillars

>>138970713
There are examples of both in both games.
Dark Souls II had the Children of Dark, which were a legitimate progression.
Dark Souls III has examples like the Armor of the Sun.
The thing is, Dark Souls II is heavily bent towards most of it's references being the self serving coy mystery bullshit. Dark Souls III has a reason for it most of the time.
We were starting this off by talking about Andre. One of the first things you learn is that a Bell tolls and the dead rise from their graves. You're explicitly in the remains of Lordran and someone who probably died in Lordran being alive isn't a big mystery.
i made video

I'm not skilled or anything, just showing off the whip/sacred flame
pls no bully
>>138969587
Is everyone getting summon signs etc. in DS3? I haven't seen any today. It's really strange.
>>138971086
You can touch the sky.
>>138971121
Why are two of the covenants exactly the same functionally with the exact same rewards?
>>138971174
I farmed the Cathedral Knights for more than an hour straight and never got the chest, fuck that
>>138971139
the second phase is literally the first phase except after the dash there's a shockwave
you should refuse to summon for watchers because they barely qualify as a fucking boss
>>138970112
You wanted to say
>being so bad at the game that you need shields and heavy armor on your blind playthrough
>>138971139
get a +4 weapon and learn to dodge, no shield
>>138971129
It's still not going to fix the fact that there's far more Sentinels/Darkmoons than there are people in Way of Blue being invaded.
>>138969974
1) Terrible framerate drops
2) Frequent crashes
3) Everything has so much reach that rolling away from an attack still gets you hit, as a result weapons with a lot of reach are useless most of the time
4) The fat missionaries and little executioner shitters are everywhere
5) They're the only really challenging enemy so far
>>138971316
well aren't you a fucking dark souls prodigy
>>138970112
well what do you consider a hard fight
>>138971218
What does it do?
>>138971201
>Invasions are dead, there are 2 outcomes: You are Lucky and get into a fightclub(which is shit for farming) or you end up in a gank
Wait, so the shitposting pre-release is right? You can only actually invade gankers? I thought that was bullshit?
Haven't played the game btw. Plan to do so after I go on paid leave in May.
This thread is moving so fast no one will notice that I'm a fag
>>138971215
no retarded, that's just how it works. Obviously you can out play someone with those weapons, but if both weapons stagger equally then the better weapon is the one that swings faster.
who /end of fire/ here?
>It's a the host is invisible and his 3 phantoms dont have animations invasion
When will this meme end
>>138971379
Just dialogue
>>138969587
If an NPC invader kills you, does he never spawn back? Tarkus isn't spawning anymore.
>>138970971
PvP is near enough dead as a whole.
The meta was figured out and now everyone is just googling their way through the game. Ensuring that each invader has no actual advantage over other players, which considering how much of a disadvantage you find yourself in as an invader is pretty retarded.
I've done some 400 invasions now, 90% of them were players using the same builds and weapons. Shit is boring above everything else.
There's only so many times you can fight '3 man katana gank squad' before you get bored.
>>138970925
I just got b2b invades with 3 second waits
>Be ENB
>Fight first pitchfork dude
>Get Pitchfork weapon
So is this dude legit cheating?
His DaS playthrough was exactly the same. He always gets the drops I spend hours farming for.
Fuck this guy.
>>138971320
still mad that you struggled with a nonboss, huh?
If I'm going for a Warden Twinblade/bleed build, is it better to, while leveling, prioritize Dex then Luck, or Dex then Str?
Ludex Gundyr is much much much harder than champion gundyr
i have such big problems with that cancer the errupts from him, i just dont know which of it is going to hit me where
Farmed Champion Gundyr as Sunbro yesterday naked with a Longsword and never get hit once. Started a new character today and struggle at Ludex Gundyr
Guys what weapon should i respec for?
I thought i will fucking love Butcher Knife + Pontiff Eye and then i found out that it was made from Vordt, not pontif and i was like FUCK
Then i went with rapier because i hate myself, realized i can't kill shit with it so i went wor Great Scythe and i started to feel like the scythe doesn't cut lategame PVE.
No straightswords plz, simply because i was running astora sword in DS1 way too much. I had full Astora knight playthroughs and killed manus with it ffs, 40/40 +40 faith astora knight for you.
But noiw i'm sick of knightish playing.
what do?
No i don't give rat's ass about PVP for now, just want to fucking kill those red knights and kthulu-abyss-holow things, and double krokodil and play the fucking game.
can you coop after killing the boss area?
>>138971121
At least murdering Aldrich doesn't remove your ability to rank up like the fucking Gravelords.
Where's the old cell key to Siegward's cell? Searched all over Irithyll dungeon & can't find it.
>>138970723
>Scaling is downright broken, Faith weapons that dont scale of Faith, 10/10 design choice
Every faith weapon i've seen has faith scaling.
So does infused ones.
>"Duels" in terms of putting down red sign end up in a guy and his sunbro already spamming R1 at your spawning body
Confirmed for not having played the game.
Fuck off.
>>138971276
any specific reason for level 80 or nah
i killed ornstein first, does that mean i cant get his soul? fuck i wanted the spear
NOO FUCK
WHAT DID HE DROP?
HOW DO I GET HIM BACK?
>>138971376
He's just a retard who thinks that everyone levels enough strength, vitality and vigor to be able to use a shield that won't be guard-broken by any boss and be able to survive surprise attacks and chugging estus to the win.

A clue, perhaps?
When will we get dks3 "fanart"
>>138971023
You don't seem to understand what undead means.
Go listen to the intro to Dark Souls 1. It's mentioned that life and death only appeared with the first flame. The first flame is what brought disparity to the world.
As the fire fades, disparity also fades from the world. And so does the difference between life and death. The undead in Dark Souls aren't your classical zombies and skellingtons. Rather, they are beings who are neither alive nor dead. However, they are not yet truly neither alive or dead. They can still be killed. But the lack of disparity causes them to come back to life, but "less alive" than before. That is what "hollowing" means. A true hollow no longer has a proper mind, and is neither alive or dead. When you "kill it", you simply make it stop moving for a while.
>>138971378
Nameless king was kind of hard, Champion Gundam was hard until you got to the point where you can predict the kick every time. Pontiff analed me, but once you get the timing down he's not THAT bad.
>>138971357
edit of pic related when?

>We were starting this off by talking about Andre. One of the first things you learn is that a Bell tolls and the dead rise from their graves. You're explicitly in the remains of Lordran and someone who probably died in Lordran being alive isn't a big mystery.
In other words, it's a cheap excuse for fanservice. Just like how the "Lothric is a merger of timelines" argument is another lame way to excuse the lazy fanservice.
Andre could have been replaced by literally any other blacksmith and the impact on the lore or plot would have been ZERO.
Why Andre? Why not the blacksmith in New Londo Ruins? We all know the only reason he is back is because MUH COMFY GRANDFATHERLY FIGURE
>>138971503
You can be summoned, but you can't summon.
Can anyone confirm if you can summon for Dancer?
>>138970510
WHY DOES NOONE LIKE THE MERC TWINBLADES? I FUCKIN LOVE THESE THINGS. Buffable, nice move set, A Scaling when invused with sharp.
>>138969587
Irithyll dungeon truly is hell.
>>138970821
>temple knight

If you can't let go of your shitter ways you shouldn't even bother.
>>138971513
next area after dungeon
Why doesn't FromSoft lower the level cap? Being able to put 99 in everything is a bit too much and makes balancing things difficult.
So, how to best identify twitch streamers?
>>138971561
In NG+ :^))))
>>138969974
Very strict matchmaking
Longswords
Red Eye prioritizing full groups
Firekeeper has literally no lines
>>138971561
have you never played a souls game, retard? exit and come back
>>138971532
not particularly
Level 70-80 is where most people seem to end up at the end of first NG cycle.
>>138971561
nothing, that's just a summon
>>138971460
>struggled
The struggle of people needing shields and heavy armor is even more real than of those who keep summoning phantoms for their first meeting with the boss? Seems so real it hurts :^)
>>138971561
Dragon Tooth/Havel's Greatshield
You can farm the summons until another Havel appears
>>138971416
This is pretty true tbqh.
I've managed to max every invading and co-op covenant so far, only thing I haven't maxed is Darkmoon Knights but I feel no interest in invading people anymore. Seeing the same butcher knife/longsword/rapier/darksword + grass crest shield is fucking dull as all hell.
Jailers are complete horseshit.
>>138971570
So is your point that abyss watchers is hard on a sl1 no armor no dodgeroll no blocking no estus playthrough? You have so many arbitrary limits that it's fucking ridiculous. What IS allowed?
