I never thought I'd think anyone was more of a faggot than luci in these threads, but you anti BB tards unquestionably are.

and this is a bad thing?

hey lucy
I think the problem is there's no dedicated hosts, me & goldy both hosted jousting & cosplay quite extensively

I'm in a bit of a pickle.

I'm SL 56 with a +6 weapon.

I can't see summon signs, get invaded, summon people or invade.

I'm not banned, no messages on the startup screen, I'm embered, no password and I even reversed the hollowing just to be sure.

As you can see, no summons signs, I saw them untill Carthus but aftewards, nothing.

What is exactly happening? Thanks

You probably got stuck on the spoopy ghost server or whatever it's called. RIP

I guess it's over?

You're on the abyss server.

Enjoy your stay.

General enthusiasm for the event has been pretty low. I blame it on the lack of sandals.

What's up, faggots? You guys in here looking at your little boy porn and jacking each other off over pictures of Dancer again?

> spoopy ghost server
???

hi lucy
there's nothing wrong with directing bloodborne discussion to the bloodborne general

Sorry kid, not even close.

>"I don't need sex because Ghru's facefuck me everytime"

>little boy porn
But Lothric and Lorian are big guys

Tell Manus I said hi

Not him but I wish people would make up their minds. There were fags from here bothering and begging /bbg/ anons to merge when DS3 was released.

bloodborne general was thread wars from day 1

the discussion belongs here, two threads for the same series is just dumb

>kid
>not lushit

it was far more active than both jousting & cosplay

someone just needs to host

People have made up their minds.
The problem is that not everyone's minds were made up in agreement.

There is also nothing wrong with it being in the general souls type catch all threads.

I don't read them, but I pretty much guarantee the fighting games general fags don't spaz out over people discussing street fighter in the threads.

yeah idk what the deal was with that

hi lucy

What the fuck are you talking about?

it was decided before the game came out it would have a seperate general

>15 months later PC cucks are STILL mad about Bloodborne

give it a rest already

>it was far more active than both jousting & cosplay

You can tell just from the amount of posting about it that took place that it was not nearly as active as Cosplay. Cosplay had as many as four or five hosts at times, with enough summons to fill them all out.

>When you just want to gank but the host hasn't even killed the mobs yet

sup lucy

I don't get why they don't just release on PC already.

fuck off lucy

It is even more funny that you are desperate to believe licifag is the only one that thinks you are a moron.

give'em hell luci

Could someone PLEASE explain parrying at high levels to me?

I mean I'm trying to practice parrying in SL120 pontiff duels, even using the scumbag caestus... and I just can't parry shit. No one falls for it, and most times they'll just use a fucking 2H ultra weapon or some unparriable weapon art shit on you. Then you throw in figuring out the different delayed timings of different weapons and lagg and... yeah.

I mean is there actually a method to the madness here? Or is it literally just a matter of "oh yeah you can only parry against lower level people who are bad at the game and R1 spam you with a longsword"? I'm questioning why I should even bother at this point, dual wielding a fast offhand-weapon seems far more useful, hell even a fucking black knight shield for blocking.

I'm asking how do actually do this shit consistently at SL120, if it's even possible. Literally no one will R1 spam you when they see the parry tool come out it seems, they'll just play around it endlessly until you're dead.

What if we moved demon's souls discussion to bbg and kept only dark souls discussion here? It's not like anyone posts about kf any more and those are ps exclusives

>i don't understand how business works

Ftfy

not enough signatures on petition

Well thanks m8. How unlucky of me

Shit happens, author might've gotten confused when he drew this

decided by nobody but the retarded console war shitflingers like this retard two threads for one series is fucking retarded, and /bbg/ should have been deleted ages ago

So, losing money by neglecting another platform is business?

DS3 netcode is piece of shit so it's just luck mostly.

Pretty sure the artist is Russian or something. English does not seem to be his first language at any rate.

do black people have more humanity on them ?

1. Notice a pattern in their actions
2. Bait them into doing something predictable
3. Reaction parry slow attacks
Also note that the fact that someone is playing around your parries is an advantage as well. If they roll and delay the roll attack since they think you'll parry it, just hit them in the face instead. Do that a couple times and they'll think you won't parry, so next time do. All about the mixups my man. Being unpredictable is the key to avoiding parries, and also the key to landing them.

As long as Sony and Atlus have their hands on them, PC won't see a port.

Am I Veeky Forums yet?

Once every 20 Faithfull invasions i always get one of those guys with sub 15 END who block my light attacks. Feels even weirder when i riposte for 650 and kill them in one hit.
Even weirder is that this is at SL120 meme meta

training is a good idea but good parry should be unexpected. if all you do is parry spam then your opponent will take that into consideration. a good player will notice the instant you switch into parry gear and will adapt to that. The secret to parrying is to read your opponent or bait your opponent, basically you should make sure your opponent notice you're going to parry only after it's too late

It's all about recognizing patterns and conditioning your opponent.
The first parry of every match is the most important one because it can actually be a surprise depending on how you do it.

Like you said, lag makes things really difficult but not impossible. Just focus on learning every weapons moveset and it will be a lot easier to say, call someone's rolling/running r1 for example.

Parrying online is entirely about prediction, not reaction on all but the best connections. If you approach it with that mindset it becomes easier.

Hi Luci
You really need to stop trying to inject yourself into everything like this.
Playing your own opposition is just sad.

>decided by nobody but the retarded console war shitflingers
Generals split because there was too much shitposting and BB discussion would drown out DS2 - Horse in castle edition discussion which wouldn't be good because people would whine even more since BB is exclusive.

Sony paid for it to be made with the express purpose of getting people to buy PS4s to play it.

They don't release it on PC because it would be bad for Sony, and Sony is the one who gets to decide if it's released on PC or not.

It is not even slightly complicated.

>hawkwood's more popular brother

Contactual restrictions. Sony would have to re-draft their contract with From, since it stipulated that BB was a PS4 exclusive. Its a rights thing is my point, and Sony doesn't often publish on PC.

At this point I doubt it's driving sales much at all any more. I will personally give Sony a crisp new 10 dollar bill to release the rights.

sup jund

>decided by nobody but the people that come to the thread
so what's the problem?
should we have asked reddit instead?

>losing money by keeping something exclusive to your own systems

I hope you actually believe this, it is even more funny that way.

>losing money

The people that would stand to gain money from going multiplatform are From Software.

The people that would stand to lose money from going multiplatform are Sony.

Guess who is in charge of picking if Bloodborne is multiplatform? Protip: It's not From Software.

anyone up for some champion shenanigans?
I'm at pc, sl 70 if anyone is willing just gimme a (you) with a password of your choice.

>mfw first time twin princes fight stage 2

everyone bitching about parry fishing is a total retard
parrying good opponents is HARD
at this point for higher level duels i'm usually going for WA shield because nobody good is going to fall for your hand flapping
and if they will nerf caestus parry recovery then parrying a competent player will become impossible

Why is he such a teleporting faggot? It breaks the immersion.

>Play a mage
>All fights are either easy or absolute hell unless I resort to a melee weapon
>there's no middle ground

On one hand, even the Champ gets brought down in 5 or so casts of CSS. On the other, the Twins might be very nearly impossible to beat with magic alone.

>hawkwood's shield has the same wraps as fallen knight set
>fallen knight set is a drakeblood set in disrepair
>drakebloods hunt dragons
>Hawkwood wanted to be a dragon
Hmmm

>/v/ invade dead thread
REEE. At least use meme pics. It's hard to filter shitposts.

>tfw his teleport caught me by surprise and then fucked me in the worst way imaginable on my first tries

I've won a ton of invasions with gundrys but you can parry every attack it's so pathetic about to stop using this

>you'll never be the one on top of Lorian's back
life is suffering

Although WA shields are arguable more useful in a vacuum the instant I see one I wail away because I know I can't get parried

the problem is you don't get to decide if one game in a series gets it's own thread. nobody does.

that is, unless the mods of the board are braindead and let autistic children clutter up the board with thread wars

FK doesn't look like Drakeblood at all

>complains about /v/
>uses REEEEtarded frog noises
...

does the hawk ring effect crossbow's too?

Look again. It's broken drakeblood draped in cloth

someone pls let me farm sheckles off of them, can give items in return or do the same

don't you get them from regular pvp ? farm pontiff

and that is a good thing because you will play more aggressively
aggressive opponents are easier to deal with than passive and parry tool forces your opponent to be passive

yeah that's what i've been doing but it's slow. just wanna get this over with, already got all 30 tongues from duels

>At this point I doubt it's driving sales much at all any more.

You're wrong.
Besides, let's take two hypothetical scenarios.
>Scenario 1
Sony gets, let's say a dozen, good console exclusives.
After X amount of time, Sony gives up the rights to console exclusives and they end up on PC.
People don't feel pressured to buy a PS4, because they know they'll get the games eventually.
After those dozen good games are on PC, nobody has any particular reason to get a PS4.

>Scenario 2
Sony gets a dozen good exclusives.
Those stay on the PS4 forever.
People know that those are going to stay on the PS4 forever, so there is no sense in waiting to buy a PS4.
People buy a PS4 to play those games.

Letting go of any one exclusive does not work with this model. Even if Bloodborne is not the single driving factor for selling PS4s, there's always going to be the "and Bloodborne" appeal. Any time there's a sale, people will think "Oh, I could play X game... and Bloodborne". Any time a big exclusive that might get them to buy the console comes out, they'll think "Well, I guess it's worth it since I can play that game... and Bloodborne".

>be me
>want the final game in the souls series
>boy I can't wait for all the cool unique stories and characters and being stuck on interesting, difficult bosses
>buy DS3
>least amount of bosses (19) in any souls game
>4 of those are a joke
>another 2 of them are the same thing
>2 of them (1 overlap) are so early in the game they are literally worthless even on NG+7
>There are maybe 3 actual difficult bosses in the game
>Drowning in DS1 memes instead of an original story because of ptde babies

When he put his brother on his back I cried a little.

>tfw you aren't actually the hero

can you go cry somewhere else? you slobbering all over the place is really distracting

Does the Carthus CGS WA still combo from r1? So R1-L2-R2 or R1-L2-R1?

anyone?

There's an art to using say, a BK Shield as well. Similar to parrying, but a lot more consistent (mostly having to do with incorporating rolling/dodging to reduce the number of attacks you have to tank, and stamina management in general. Mostly a bunch of subtleties having to do with stamina management).

I use one when I play with the Drang Hammers most of the time and I'd be happy to let you wail on me, get you into a comfortable position that's close enough for me to unleash the fury. Also everyone becomes so afraid of the skill that they don't realize how hard one or two 1H R1's of the thing can be.

I just think an offhand rapier or BK shield is far more effective (and more importantly, consistent) than parrying in this game. At high levels, at least. If you're doing SL69 invasions then sure parry away, but in SL100-120 duels? Forget it.
