What would you guys say is the best place to farm souls? I have so much armor I need to buy before NG+.
Also does the heavy crossbow farming strat on the wiki not work anymore? I go across the bridge but when I turn backwards I can't aim high enough to hit the knight faggot.
>>143636653
The knights outside of the gay princes worked for me.
Give me a good reason to build anything other than quality.You can't.

>What would you guys say is the best place to farm souls?
i think it's the 3 fat knights outside of wheels and the town bicycle
use rapport + soul boos items
>>143636707
machetes
>>143636653
i just kill the snakemen around the first bonfire
like 13k for killing 4 weak mobs
>>143636653
The three golden angel knights in Grand Archives give a lot of souls per farm, respec to use Undead Rapport to get them to kill each other/make them passive and it's super easy.
>>143636653
Lothric Castle first bonfire; kill the knight in there (OHKO it with magic), run back, repeat ad infinitum. It shits out souls.
The other option are the silver knights in Anor Londo, which also shit out souls.Maybe you'll get those ears, too!
DS1 here, first playthrough. Towards the end of the game. Going 40/40 str/dex. Should I a Dragon Tooth? I have some dragon scales. Or is there better dragon gear? Just as a temp for the Dragon Tooth.
Anyone else getting pissed off with Aldrich's RNG bullshit?
Anyone interested in a PS4 FC? I'm at the Highwall.
no h8 pls, i use any crest shield.

It didn't take Overwatch to come out for people to see that there was no incentive to do multiple playthroughs or that PvP was fundamentally flawed.
From has been doing yearly releases that appeal to the masses for a few years now, it's not niche anymore so people don't stick to it as much.

Man, I just browsed through my screenshots folder.
This was my first time ever doing Souls PvP, so I saved a lot of them. I maxed all the covenants multiplayer.
I can see in the screenshot I took of my very first win as a memento, I'm completely out of estus with half my life gone at the High Wall, bowing to a fading blue phantom who I had the good fortune to duel 1v1 as my first fight, and took my forked tongue and left.
In my very last screenshot, after 150 wins, I am still using the same shitty gear, and yet have full HP, full FP, full estus, and my visible items bar is equipped throwing knives with 4 missing and the "very good" and "I'm sorry" carvings sarcastically slotted into the next two. In this picture, I am using patches squat on the host's dying face, right next to the ladder he tried to cheese me on.
This game has changed my wonder and excitement into bitter resentment so very, very quickly.
>>143637442
better off with 27/30
or 27/40 is you wanna farm a fuckload of souls for leveling

>>143637094
Oversight.
Information left in the game files suggests Storm Ruler was originally meant to be Curse-Rotted Greatwood's gimmick, but they moved it to Yhorm at some point in development. They even went so far as to accidentally put the wrong message in Yhorm's room.
>>143637496

Dragon Mausoleum, just kill that Drakeblood knight over and over, with soul boosting items you can get 5000 per kill, but I'm playing as a sorc so I just one shot him with crystal soul spear a few dozen times when I want to buy cosplay armor or something.

Honestly I don't understand how people can eat another blizzard game. Don't they ever learn?
>>143637442
You get a 50% strength bonus for 2-handing weapons, so people generally shoot from 27/40 or 28/40 if they want to use Murakumo.
>>143637442
At 40/40 str/dex, you can use practically any decent physical scaling weapon at +10 and wreck shit. Sif's soul will give you either the best shield in the game, a sword that hits ghosts, or the best greatsword in the game provided you level past meta. Chaos and divine won't scale with your main stats very well. Some of the demon weapons have great strength scaling though. If in doubt and you want to be boring and efficient, just use a claymore +10.

It's the game made to replace TF2. Blizzard literally crafted this game specifically to not only kill off a game, but cater to as many fanbases as possible. Casuals eat that shit up, but the game itself is littered with balance issues and nonsense.
but hey, it's 'fun', according to people.

Das3 desperately needs more weapons and weapon arts. PvP has almost no variety even though most people have been weaned off straight swords and rapier.
It's depressing realizing that das2 actually did something right in have 3x the weapons and magic as das3.

I know that feel. Invasions were my favorite thing about Dark Souls and Fromsoft royally fucked them up. Every time I invade someone I go in assuming they're a piece of shit ganker or shitter.

>>143637637
That's giving them too much credit.
There is a developer message immediately after the Greatwood one very clearly connecting Storm Ruler to giants, IE Yhorm. It is obvious they put the wrong one down on accident rather than just decoding to get figurative.
Greatwoods aren't some common thing in the lore, and what we know about them does not connect them to the Giant Trees in any way. There is a boss named Greatwood and it's capitalized in the message. To simply ignore the connection is a little willfully ignorant.
Would someone be willing to give me a Dark Mask and the Nameless King Pants on PS4?
I just started a new character and wanted to test a theory that if you put your skin colour to pitch black abyss, turn hollow then put on the Dark Mask, it doesn't even look like you're wearing a helmet, but instead the skull is your face / head.
I have nothing to give in return, other than this Dragon Ball Z cosplay that happened at the last /dsg/ fightclub
If this works, this is gonna be my new main.

I'm not ignoring it, I'm just considering other possibilities instead of blindfully accepting one. I did say that what I said was the way I saw it, yes, but I don't actually see it as a fact.
Still, attacking a tree with the storm ruler is pretty fucking stupid and I'm glad they changed it even though that boss is still garbage.
>>143637828
The problem is the lack of moveset variety within weapon classes and the lack of 'gimmicks' within them that incentivize weapons based on what your build is and just how much better/worse some weapons are compared to others. The Carthus Curved Sword is just plain better then every other curved sword, it has the best moveset, best range, and is only barely beaten out in pure AR by the Falchion by like 10 at most. The Exile Greatsword is just plain better then every other Curved Greatsword, though this was lessened somewhat by the last patch making the the Wolf CGS retain its full weapon art combo, the Exile still has the best AR and with every curved GS having the same basic moveset it's just 'the best.' The Estoc is the best rapier because it has the highest AR, best range, and actually has attacks beyond poking at shit repeatedly. The Great Mace and Great Wooden Hammer have literally NOTHING going for them. The Fume Ultra Greatsword lost it's great block attack gimmicks from 2 and is fucking parryable in its 2HR1s like the Cathedral Knight UGS despite having one of the worst ARs of UGS weapons. Great Hammers randomly don't get a second combo hit for a basic R1 at all. I could go on, but there's just not much incentive to try any weapons beyond 'the best' ones due to everything benefiting from Refined infusion and split/elemental weapons being generally garbage.
>>143638094
Assuming it was originally for Greatwood, it also seems like it would have a much stronger impact in that fight too.
>Fighting a freakish, massive tree

The PvE is already piss easy because of how stupidly fast and safe and spammable rolling and healing are though. It was also CLEARLY designed for poise because of how fucky it is without it at the last minute.
Though all they need to do to un-fuck healing in PvP is to make talismans not suck fucking dick or give the invader not-shit healing.

>>143638635
Hilariously bad yes.

>>143638332
The irony is how backwards this is. DeS and DaS invaders were scary but often just people trying to have fun because dicking on low level players gets old fast. You had some variety, some funny stuff, some semblance of fairness more often than not, and the battles were more difficult.
Now the shitpile that is invading has driven away all the people who want to do it for fun and has left only the TRUE twisted psychopaths left, or else turned the rest into them. Now if you see an invader, they're a hapless idiot ready to be mulched, or a bloodthirsty predator ready to rip your asshole apart in the fastest, bullshittiest way possible with no room for counter, in their futile quest to slake their hatred for hosts.

>>143638635
Silence has fallen in the arena, the gates bar my path. My mind is steeled in meditation, preparing myself for what is to come. A rumbling breaks the serenity, distractions pierce through my mental fortress and seep their way into weakening my resolve. My opponent has been summoned. I brush aside these minor disturbances within myself. My composure surges back, and with it a scarlet aura...proof of my prowess. The music begins to play...
As I enchant my Shadow-imbued Washing Pole with resonant weapon, I utter a silent prayer to myself:
"This game is perfect; It is beyond reproach. So shall my blade also be perfect; I offer my life to sharpen its edge."
I finish the ritual with a flick of my wrist. The blade glistens a raven indigo in its new magic coating. The taboo of hexes is of no concern to me, nor does the pittance of my own sanity spent to maintain my blade weigh on my conscience. I exist rooted within this moment, and I gladly pay with what will be, to ensure what is. Again, I whisper my mantra: "This game is perfect; It is above reproach." The gates relinquish themselves...
Two strokes...I had hoped for one.
One to cleave his drangleic shield +0 in half, the other to rend his soul in sacrifice. I drop to one knee and emit a howl over my quarry, arms outstretched to commit his spirit to the beyond. The light glistens off the polished stone of my Havels armor, as I bask in the blood of my fresh kill. As my vision fades, I send to him a last guidance for his soul, so that he may not become lost in his journey to the other side:
"LMAO Wrekt git gud queerbasket"
I hope that one day I shall find my equal, and that I may join those fallen in the great beyond.
I then masturbate furiously with used panties stolen from my sister, and pray once more to the statues of the arena.
"Duelist Found!"
This game is perfect.

no hes right. its a rare drop but it can happen.

>give my character a scar over one eye for muh aesthetic, leaving the eye on that side white and pupilless
>recently take off his helmet and notice the scar, during play, has shifted upwards and over onto his forehead, on the wrong fucking side
I'm sorry, what? The game can just decide my character looks different from how he did yesterday? the scar was right where it should've been when I was in Archdragon Peak

There's only two other curved greatswords in the game, the gravy sword and the server from blighttown.

is server worth using?
its not worth making any magic, chaos, or divine stuff, right? even with their base stats?

Server is just murakumo with less damage and range. It's alright if you need something less demanding on stat requirements.

hornet didn't even exist in das2, and monascim wasn't even a thing until well into the patch cycle anyways. Even in DaS2 you could ezpz backstab punish faggots parryspamming

>2 hit stunlock system guarantees BKGA, yhorm's, etc, are all guaranteed kills outside of FC duels
>parrying is the easiest it has ever been since das1, fist parry recoveries don't exist
>most iframes souls has ever had
>everything takes less stamina, including rolls
>buffing is even worse than launch das2 (so at least took 4 fucking slots, and GMB didn't affect anyone unless they also buffed)
>straightswords objectively outclass most weapons in the game, even weapons they shouldn't
>hyperarmor allows ultra weapons to mindlessly r1 and win everything
>poise doesn't exist in any form outside of hyperarmor
>everything does a bajillion damage so high-level pvp is everyone 2 shotting one another
>gotthards are helixodon levels of broken
>greatshields are unbreakable despite meds breaking in 3 hits from anything
I could go on. DaS2 had flaws, and I hated it until the DLC came out, but I still played it and had plenty of fun with it. DaS3 barely has any potential because the flaws are so deeply rooted into the mechanics
>>143638935
tried changing my resolution back and no dice. So Im stuck like this until I spend a pale tongue? And even then I cant ever change my game's resolution while on this character?
>>143638994
It's alright, just outclassed by the Murakumo in pretty much every way so you rarely see it used.
Base stat chaos/lightning weapons are good, people make builds around them. Divine and magic weapons are bad, enchanted is ok at 50 INT.
>>143639130
server is surely serviceable though? i use a shitty lightning spear right now, it feels like its usefulness fell of a cliff
>>143639123
It is if you have no weapon on right hand or parry shield in right hand.
>>143639131
ah fair enough
i haven't even killed her yet so i'd get rekt, especially with the whole stat reduction thing
good luck desu

I've seen shitters from here beat his havelstoc in DS1.
Although seeing how absurdly strong havelstoc is in DS3, I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually unkillable now.

>>143639138
>hornet didn't even exist in das2, and monascim wasn't even a thing until well into the patch cycle anyways. Even in DaS2 you could ezpz backstab punish faggots parryspamming
You do realize there was backstep parrying to cancel the recovery into iframes, but still get the full parry frames right?
>again, just parry the 3rd hit, it was piss easy
What? Tanimura Rush was an infinite lock so long as your opponent had stamina.
Did you even play the game?
>>143639138
>again, just parry the 3rd hit, it was piss easy
So you're actively demonstrating that you do not remember it. If you held certain straightswords in each hand, not powerstanced, and alternated r1 and l1 you could stunlock a player until you ran out of stamina or they died, whichever came first.
>>143639170
thanks. i might make a chaos wep for fun.
im still working on beating the game, any sort of useful weapon at all would be great help.
>>143639173
I mean pretty much anything is serviceable, at least as far as PvE goes. Hell, even as far as PvP goes in Dark Souls 1.
>>143638993
Nice save Mr.Hardcore twinkie.

I don't care if literally everything was supposedly viable in DS2's PvP, watching the animations in that webm make me sick
>>143639419
If there's anything I miss from DaS2 it's the rollcatching. Being able to land crits on people that blindly mash roll was the best.

Go for SL60 6+ weap and do Aldritch funhouse invasions?

>raw
not really, it'll be pretty worthless by the time you get to sen's, and you could have used those shards just to upgrade along the normal path and be better off
i did a lot of dragonslayer spear builds in that game and i felt like anything under 24/40 wasn't really worth it to me. good news is the faith part really only affects the crappy lightning damage, so you can totally omit it and still get good damage
>>143639887
It's closer to a quality weapon than a faith weapon, you should be fine.
i like how reddit and twitch niggers went full 180 on the "muh honor" shit in this game
do they take literally every thought they have from 4chan?

Who the fuck told you such a retarded shit.
DS2 was a territory of an extremely boring, degenerative SL150 robflynn meta with fast weapons having way more advantage over heavy ones than in ds3. At the end of its lifespan all tryhard faggots understood how fucking SHIT physical scaling is and just went with base stats for weapons and slapped elemental infusions on them as even with elemental penalty robflynn still applied to them. It's a fucking travesty of a game on every single level imaginable, it never stopped being a huge, disgusting disappointment. All weapons aside from longsword, estoc and warped sword could as well not exist.
