I visited Fromsoft a couple days ago in Sasazuka (currently in Tokyo for a manufacturing workshop) and asked them what Poise did in the game directly. Basically said I aint leaving till I get an answer, they have no way to stop me from hanging around because they have no active guards.

They said that poise does 3 things and they intentionally left it out of descriptions because they wanted people to figure it out themselves:
1)
>the more poise you have, the less your thrust absorption drops during an action
2)
>the more poise you have, the more or heavier hit/s you can tank during a weapon art without being stunned out of it
3)
>Poise priority when trading with an opponent who also has hyper armour and or great weapon, aka 2 UGS swinging at each other, the one with the higher poise will not stagger while the other will and be awarded the combo

You can shut up about it now

One thing I am certain Poise does is that is affects your ability to take a hit at the end of a roll. So if you get hit as your you're getting back on your feet, instead of getting staggered, you take a hit and minor damage but you maintain your motion I'm not sure if that is all its does but i have noticed this more when i wear good armor

>they retconned the idea and just made poise "activate" as soon as you had any, the current numbers are just flavour text literally

The total max poise you can possibly get in the game with the biggest armour and 2 yhorms shields is 80 something poise, currently.

If the decimal was moved over, it would be .8. Just shy of the full 1 "always have poise" total.

It would seem to me poise originally was going to be very wide and flexible, but you could NEVER get max passive poise, just very close to it with the most extreme setup.

Now it's basically useless by design. They probably found that washingpoles and estocs would just sit behind yhorms shield in testing for even MORE assrape than they currently dish out so they decided against poise at the last second.

From what I understand:
>during iframes
This is what led to that retarded "poise damage affects the amount of iframes you have" theory. It's not clear why it turns on during iframes, but it's not that. The only reasonable idea is that they wanted you to be able to take poise damage during rolling, even if you can't be poise broken during it.

>during hyper armor
You can take poise damage during hyper armor, but it doesn't actually get you staggered out of it. It could also be related to it checking your poise during Halberd and Greatsword attacks, even though 0.1 poise is all you need for that to work.

>certain frames of Stance weapon arts, including charging Storm Ruler
This seems to be pretty much the only circumstance where your poise can actually get you poise broken.

It's a pretty stupid system, but it does seem to actually be how they want it.

Yes, Bloodborne is a Souls game. Your point?

>>144916509
BB general was created because console fanboys and PC autists kept shitposting in /dsg/ before it was released. There was never a logical reason to separate the generals.

For now, it still has it's own general, but people are obviously going to discuss it here since it's a Souls game. Eventually, /bbg/ will die out and this will be the only place to discuss it, just like Demon's Souls and King's Field.

God, that felt fucking amazing. Made the whole night of getting crushed worth it, a great learning experience. I'm still gonna have to think of new strategies to beat ganks at this level though considering parrying is for the most part impossible. Hoping I can find a way to make the drangs work at least relatively consistently, I'd rather not be forced into the ultra weapons only for invasions meme.

Actually, the Alpha was better than the Souls games have been in a long time. Beating the first boss for the first time game me that feeling of accomplishment that I haven't gotten from a Souls boss since DaS1. The combat is more engaging as well. It's like they took all the best parts of souls games then slapped a better combat system on top of it.

There are so many aspects of it that are just fundamentally contributing nothing but tedium or annoyances, and very little to the gameplay itself.

It's completely misguided.

Stop sucking. It gave you a certain number on every respawn. If you needed more than that then you should have to farm them.

You couldn't just face tank shit like you can in DaS2 because of your million estus and life gems.

>Durability
The idea is that they want you to keep switching weapons. Plus the better weapons have better durability. By the end of stage 2 I was leaving repair powders behind because I couldn't even carry anymore.

Better than DaS3's system where breaking your armor is basically impossible.

>A combat system that encourages you to frequently switch between weapons and stances paired with a level up system that rewards you for putting a lot of stats in a single stance for a single weapon class
I focused on katana and just kept switching between various katana when one would break, rather than switching weapon types. It's not different than making a build in the Souls series. If you make stupid choices then you pay for it.

etc.

It gave you 3, sometimes 4.

>The idea is that they want you to keep switching weapons.

And that's a shit idea for twats.
They made it so weapons within the same weapon class always have the same movesets, and then give you randomly generated bullshit for your weapon selection.

You don't get anything out of switching weapons other than having to keep asking yourself "what is the least shit weapon I have right now?" It is not a meaningful choice, it is just comparing arrows.

>Better than DaS3's system where breaking your armor is basically impossible.

It's not, for the exact same reasons. Having to switch between weapons and armor isn't fun and engaging gameplay, it's a chore. It does not provide anything positive to the gameplay.

>I focused on katana and just kept switching between various katana when one would break

That still doesn't address the brilliant design plan of "We'll implement a multi-stance system the players can freely switch between and then reward them for putting all their points in one stance".

Sure, it would be fine to make it so different weapon classes had different upgrades for character building, but when stance changing is one of the main points of the combat system, dividing the upgrade system into supporting specific stances was retarded.

It gave you 3. If you farmed, you could have more.

It was like a cross between DaS1 and BB's systems. It worked well, and the Souls games would benefit from it.

The later weapons have various effects and elements so mixing and matching, especially to enemy weakness becomes fun.

Having to switch/repair constantly is engaging. Durability on armor in DaS3, for example, may as well not even exist as a concept because it's never going to break.

You only get rewards for putting points into one stance very early on. It's no different than putting points into one stat early on in the Souls games.

The method was a bit tedious, but the concept is engaging. There are better ways of Doing it. I think Borderlands is a good example of doing it right. You can tap the button to pick something up into your inventory, or hold the button down to replace your currently equipped weapon.

That keeps you engaged without slowing shit down.

Repairing shit can be engaging too. I think MonHon does it well.

Why is Dark Souls II Reddit's favorite Souls game?

All I see on the DaSIII subreddit is people jerking eachother of over how fucking amazing the PVP in that game was and ugh ugh Dark Souls III ugh.

Because leddit has shit taste?
Also because it was far easier than DaS1 and they welcomed it with open legs like fucking faggots.

>mixing and matching, especially to enemy weakness becomes fun.
>Having to switch/repair constantly is engaging.

We're at a fundamental point of contention here. I think that's some of the dumbest shit you could do in game design. You're never making choices of personal preference, it's always a matter of straight up "this guy is weak to lightning, what is my best lighting katana" or "My armor with 23 defense broke, better put on my armor with 22 defense". It doesn't affect how you'll be playing the game, it's only a difference of numbers. That's not engaging or thoughtful decision making, that's micromanagement.

>Durability on armor in DaS3, for example, may as well not even exist as a concept because it's never going to break.

And that's fine because durability on armor is a shit idea for twats. There is no point to it, and the less relevant it is the better.

if you disagree then there's no point in continuing this conversation. It's a matter of different tastes at that point.

>You only get rewards for putting points into one stance very early on.

There were more than enough upgrades you could apply to a single stance to only upgrade the same stance throughout the whole demo.

It's like pottery.

I'm out for the day, FC-guys. Thanks for the fights and for hosting.
Damn you BigGuy and your stupid knives.

Am i shit at playing a caster, or is casting shit in das3?

It seems like if i want to play with magic i have to commit my build to it completely. If i try to balance casting with dex or strength, i seem to always end up worse off than if i had just chosen one of the two.

Is there a babby's first sorc/cleric/pyro guide that you could recommend to me dsg?

Also, if I'm playing a caster, should i use elemental infusions, weapons with built in elemental damage, or non elemental weapons?

Oh, and what's the best starting class if i want to be able to respecc into any other kind of build later in the game? Thanks.

Yes, and in borderlands(2/PS) it was "use the best shit until you got something that was better due to flavor text" I'd remember killing terramorphous 20 times and never picking up anything than the eridium due to the amount of junk there was. Sure, it was "engaging" to a certain point but after a while you'd find 1-2 guns that'd roflstomp anything and only swap between those two unless you ran out of ammo for both.
I can't say anything on MonHun cause i've never played it though.

You generally have 3 options with INT.

1) Full-on 60 INT pure caster. Probably the hardest one the be successful with at not dieing, though with by far the best burst.

2) MLGS with less focus in attunement but more in raw melee with some spells in the backhand to help in emergencies. Generally pretty damn easy to steer.

3) Crystal Sage's Rapier and DEX. The DEX will allow you to cast much, much faster without using the Sage's Ring and while also slightly increasing your Rapier's damage. The weapon itself has all the weaknesses and strengths of other rapiers, but with added magic scaling. Easily my least favourite option of the three and I always see it as a bit of a middle path, having a proper melee weapon while still casting a lot.

Of course, mixing and matching them is also a viable thing to try out. Many caster use the MLGS but go 60 INT.
