WHAT DO THESE MEAN

>Some NPCs questline events have been made easier to trigger.
>Made the requirement for joining the Rosaria’s Fingers less strict.
eh?

Shiny armor is the best.

Post your best F A S H I O N

First for watching Jailers rape Karla.

Joining Rosaria will no longer cause Sirris to fuck off.

did I do good dsg?

NEED THE BOOTY

SCAAAAAAAAMCOOOOOOOOOO

Is there a go-to weapon for dark/chaos infusions? Was gonna try it out and I'm open to suggestions

Also, why is she so perfect?

Failed to log in to the DARK SOULS III game server general

that last one couldn't be nerfs for certain weapons, could it?

HOW AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO ROLL THROUGH HIS SCIMITAR ATTACKS?

WHAT THE FUCK MIYAZAKI?

I'm still workin on fashion but I like this one.

Post your webums
if you can post some free lock spells so i can convince myself magic/pyromancie isn't shit

NO MENTION OF CALIBRATIONS

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Longsword.

>hurr durr poise doesn't work
It works, just not the way you want it to work.

Reminder that Miya confirmed they're now aware of the poise bug and that it's getting fixed in the next patch.

So how does poise work in this game? In Dark Souls it was easy. Weapons do poise damage and if the poise damage goes over your poise value you get stunned. Now I have no idea what it does. It seems to only work at some points? And maybe it has something to do with your weapon as well? And it seems you can get like a max of 38 poise with heavy armor and the poise ring?

Keep your distance and he'll just stand around farting poison clouds until he switches form

...

helmet looks like a bird head

...

So I'm kinda worried about my new build. I'm pumping Str, Vig, End, and some Vit for the undead legion armor. I'm using a Heavy Greatsword currently and man it uses a ton of fucking stamina and it's slow. I feel like they really balanced the game around fast weapons. It's sad. I just wanna be a Guts-like character. Also sad that blocking with the sword while two handing isn't 100% physical. I don't feel like that'd be overpowered, would it? I hope they buff these again. Less stamina consumption would be really nice.

>fixed a bug where a fuckton of weapons are under-par compared to others of the same weapon class

>made it so the rings are not all just joke rings

in one and a half years wew bois

When PC getting the patch?

you know you're not always supposed to roll forwards, you should have enough stamina by then to roll his entire combo then poke once and repeat

it works in the das2 way.
Which is the worst fucking way.

I completely avoid his curved sword moveset by just constantly rolling away, seems to work great

>140214206
Because you get chunks in the garden before Oceiros.
Because those stupid abyss thing zombies that can be cheesed easily with fire bombs can drop chunks and will always drop large titanite shards.

Bomb those guys, farm shards, buy bombs and repeat until you have tons of large shards and 12 chunks.

They already implemented the patch?
Didn´t they announce it yesterday?

Very good

It's gonna be hilarious when this gets fixed and all the katana and straight sword fags get shit on.

nice source

The obliteration of magic from 2 to 3 is probably the worst thing they did. Fuck FROM for nerfing magic into the fucking dirt

What was the moment when you realized bosses were not designed around strength weapons? Pic related

>destory him on first playthrough using longswords
>second playthrough is a STR weapon
>suddenly he's hard
>no room to punish (because he always recovers by the time it takes my slow as weapon to even reach him)
>rapid movement and attacks
>no real openings

Now look what happens when I use the memesword

>first try
>wreck him

Fuck the bullshit design in this game, STR users get completely rekt

>Winged Winged Knights

Fuck my asshole

I already did

...

You could always go RAW gem and pump strength into something else.

>Fuck the bullshit design in this game, STR users get completely rekt
this is my favorite meme in every souls game

>found the fallen kinght set
>that fucking helmet

were they trying to make a meme with that shit, I thought people were editing it

>Dark Souls 1 is broken and completely dead
>completely dead

not as dead as DS2 BREH

Do you like my hat?

>MFW mainly like wearing full sets in both MH and the souls series
>Veeky Forums loves do do fashion/best mixed sets
I-I didn't want to participate anyway, b-bakas.

Yuria is the best waifu, lads. Deep down you know it's true.

Same source as The game is designed around strength users having poise, which doesn't fucking work right now.

Do Sirris the darkmoon slut

I hope you aren't implying the DaS way was the best.

It would just make them better what the fuck.

Cage Carrier?

I'm assuming thats the big hollow that takes you to join the Mound Makers correct

>Ugly ass shorts when you're not wearing armor


Fuck, this game doesn't even let me be lewd like 2.

>We hear you loud and clear! It's totally 60 fps now guys! Have at it!

>Game is locked to maximum of 60

Mother

FUCKER

I beat almost every single boss with a Greataxe that I got at the start of the game

Holy hell nigga, git gud

Man of taste.

Oh apologies that completely slipped my mind

DO MORE

>It's OK you just need 60+ int/faith

Worst is still the fact they killed powerstancing.

Split damage is fucked in this game

>Have good idea for a new character
>Regulation kills online and framerate
what the fuck
what the fuck

>joined rosaria just before the patch

ahhhhhhhhh

>has bloodlust

user...

Roll better.

IS THAT
THE GREY KNIGHT BAZUSO

Is patches the same patches from ds1?
Is patches the same patches from DeS and BB?
What is he? Is he a god?
Is he God hunting pagan clerics?
Patches boss fight when?

>it would make them better

Bitch, this isn't Dark Souls 1. Havel doesn't increase equip load by 50%, wolf ring doesn't give a whopping 40 fucking poise and END only increases your stamina, not your equip load as well.

>So how does poise work in this game?

it literally doesn't. As in the actual sense of the word literally.

>first playthrough is quality STR/DEX
>destroy all bosses fast with charged R2s

>second playthrough is INT/FTH

>hexes are total shit
>pyros are okay
At least I took the time to learn the parry timings for Pontiff. Only did about 430 damage per riposte so taking him down with nothing but parries felt so fucking good.

too lazy of a bait to get more than a (you)

Fuck, I want to be mad, but the truth is I still had fun. I'm just doing this for bonus tongues at this point anyway.

Fashion shows are an integral part of the Souls experience, you should try it

Powerstance was fun

>That little hip shake you do with sacred flame

Hello this is booty

UGS are kinda eh now until you get to super high STR values simply because of how high their stamina drain is. You really don't need VIT once you get FAP, Havels, and maybe Prisoners Chain.

They also didn't buff the Greatsword itself, its classified as an Ultra Greatsword. Greatswords like the Claymore and such got buffed.

Poise is still in the game. It works exactly the same as in DaS1 if you change a game value from 0 to 1.

Strength isn't limited to UGS and GS. The Pickaxe is a beast, the Drang Hammers wreck, and one of the best weapons in the game is Dark Sword, a STR scaling Straight Sword.

They fucked over people who like big, thick swords but not STR builds.

>i beat every boss with the most easymode STR weapon in the game

Congrats, try using a heavy weapon that doesn't have the speed of most longswords

>about to eat the cereal
>they blink at you

>Make burly character
>armor looks like pudgy doughboy underneath
>baby hands
Fuck everything i suppose.

Try spacing and git gud

invading the crab swamp in like 20s its crazy here

>Is he a god?

Yes. He exists in all universes. Even our own.

>SOTFS
>I prefer vanilla cause of the mods + less "lol, ds2 is hard" enemy placement.
>It isnt even on that list.

even if poise existed all the bosses would still be harder for heavy weapons users because of how small the windows are to attack.


Even with infinite poise you will lose trading with every boss

I hope they make it so that you can do Yoel/Yuria's stuff without taking the level ups and getting the Dark Sigils some other way, it's unlikely but it makes it annoying for NG+ playthroughs when you want to do the quest but you already have your character at the level you want.

Magic would be useful if only From made cast speeds a bit faster and instead of having 6 different single target Soul Arrow spells, we should've gotten some new creative spells

>Splitting Soul Arrow
Casts a Soul Arrow that Splits in two and tracks the enemy from two different angles.

>Soul Barrier
Envelops the caster in a Barrier that absorbs 50% of the damage dealt to the caster two times. this spell wouldn't scale and would be used as a defensive utility.

>Soul Orb
Places an Orb of magic in front of the caster, any enemy to get near the orb will trigger it to home in on them and explode in a small area around the enemy.

>Dark Dreg Spear
caster thrusts out a dark spear of magic forwards, piercing through shields and damaging the enemy.

i can probably come up with some more.
Damnit From i just want some fucking variety in my sorceries. some actual Utility for combat would be nice.

The lighter the weapon the heavier the armor you can wear, buddy.

>Tfw already killed pyromancer for his blindfold
>Some lady huffs out of firelink after I talk to her again.

Was nothing of value lost?

>That utter madman that powerstanced the giant sticks
>Fistin'
>Curved swords power stance

He's a metaphor for grubby jews, he is and will be in every game.

...

My Dark Souls 1 doesn't collect any nodes AT ALL. Like EVER. I leave the game open for more than an hour, and I still get 0. I haven't had any multiplayer experience in DS1 in MONTHS.

B-BUT THIS GUY SAYS THAT POISE PREVENTS ROLLS FROM GETTING INTERRUPTED

Dude, you can get the blindfold elsewhere.

did the same on my pyromancer character. I forgot to join mad phantoms.
just fucking kill me

>it's a "wolnir's arms are beneath the ground and all he wants to do is breathe miasma and dash forward" episode

at least all the other piece-of-shit weakpoint bosses have the decency to let you kill them quickly

It works at least a little somehow. When I had 20+ poise, sometimes I was able to tank a hit without getting stunned and sometimes I get stunned by a dagger. I have no idea how this shit works.
