With Miyazaki not being involved with Dark Souls 3's DLC, what are the chances they will fuck it up? What are the chances the team working on it know how to make it as good as past DLC's?

so uh, is it possible to uncensor your name with CE in DS3 like it was in DS2?

dont tlel me what to do

They'll fuck it up massively.
Dark Souls content is literally about Miyazaki's nightmares, not the dev's.

>what are the chances they will fuck it up?
they fuck up if they do it like the first two DLC's of DS2: no NPC's. good bosses, good invaders, no story. Frostland DLC did that shit pretty good

I feel bad for eveyrone waitong for DS3'd DLC to reedem the game if they already not enjoy it, if that's the case. Maybe if they somehow implemented the DLC in a way to let you sequence brake?

Shulva was 10/10 pevel design tho.

...

Who /SoTFS/ here on PC?

Just how bad are the PC versions of the Dark Souls games un-modded?

I don't have a console and am thinking about picking it up on steam but I've heard mixed things about the ports. I do have a controller, which I hear is necessary to play Dark Souls.

From a objective point of view, people hated DS2 more for the graphic downgrade than anything else?

I almost feel guilty for liking this game more than DS1, I'm liking Drangleic and it's lore a whole lot more.

Yeh buddy, still fun even after 550+ hours of vanilla

>tfw my friend and I duped cracked red/blue eye orbs so now we go invading all the time
>tfw haven't even seen the dlcs after 100 hours of gameplay

Nah, I played Dark Souls 2 te day I found out there was a Dark Souls 2 and with no expectations. Still was disappointed.

Anither problem I think people have is that they come from Dark Souls 1 wothout knowing you gotta level up ADP to make your rolls work and think the game's i-frames are fucked.

Another problem with the priginal Dark Souls 2 was that you started out with one estus and no 100% phys shield. Combine that with low adap and the first hours of the game were just annoyingly bad.

Most of that was fixed in SOtFs. Don't frel bad about liking DS2, I used to like it more than BB. Just let these games grow on you.

Unmodded PC DaS = Xbox DaS

If you mod it you can make it behave like a PC game should.

DaS2 and DaS3 work ok out of the box, but mods will improve the experience.

>If you mod it you can make it behave like a PC game should.
What is it lacking that I would need?

frame unlocking/limiting and rendering options mostly.

Don't even try to play without a controller btw.

Proper keyboard and mouse support, good antialiasing, resolutions higher than 1280x720 (I don't think it even renders at that res), higher fps than sub 30.

And a mod to connect to other people in order to enjoy multiplayer.

Is there a collection of series lore somewhere on the net? Compiled in a coherent manner, not a wiki. I'm starting to think DS2 lore is more appealing than DS1/3.

Would DS fix take care of all this?

Yes. But you need DSCM to play online.

Alright, I'm burnt out on souls for now. What do?

Play Bloodborne.

Modding for DaS2 is dead, because it doesn't work for SotFS.

DSfix is bare minimum, browse Nexusmods or read the sticky for other good texture fixes. If you want to take advantage of the multiplayer, DSCM and PvP Watchdog.

There are actually quite a few mods now that are useful.

>DSfix
Mandatory, unlocks higher resolutions and framerates and some graphics options
>DSMfix
Fixes the KBM controls
>pvpwatchdog
Fixes the namecrash bug
>DSCM
Fixes the Steam matchmaking

/dsg/ could you reccomend me a build for my final slot
So far i got:
>Quality/Faith
>Int
>Strenght
>Dex
>Pyro/Dark
>Dex/Faith
>Strenght/Faith
>Hollow/Quality
>Faith

SL1

This game and general are dead, and it's well deserved.

PvP is shit. FROM is shit and doesn't listen to the community. Good riddance.

Wanted to share this build I've been working on intended for bad players to have an easier time getting carried by summons.

mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/50021

Miyazaki is a meme. When you compare post DkS1 games to DkS1 it's fairly obvious that DkS1 was luck.

Why would you condone this
Also you forgot your Dark Sword and Grass Crest Shield

Is there any good mod for 3 besides the agression one?

>18/40
>refined

I know you can change it, not sure about uncensoring.

It's best as refined because of it's already sick C/C scaling, but this particular individual just doesn't know what he's doing and is a shitter enabler.

>tfw invaded
>im alone
>decide to be a nice guy and fight straight without heals and see if he follows
>he doesnt
>he chugs and hides among enemies at first sign of difficulty
>fuck it I cant deal with this shit right now
>summon phantoms
>theyre absolute shit and die to mobs
>when the invader kills the phantom I just chug all my estus and hope he catches my drift
>he does
>we have a legit good fight
>both a hit from dying
>I land a parry
>I fucked up and rolled away
>we circle eachother a while and then he crystals out
the fuck

Still like my suggestion from the other thread with spells, some parts like Anor Londo SKs, Cathedral Rafters or Archdragon would require said player to stand back too far while waiting for phantoms to clear. With hidden body it's not be an issue.

>red phantoms can heal in DS3
what the fuck

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=663922936

There's a DSfix equivalent, but it's still quite buggy.

That's about the only thing in their favor.

Because everyone can't literally get good. And some people really want to finish the game. Not everyone has young man reactions and coordination anymore. Some of us have gotten old or suffered injuries and illness since demon souls.

Well not much of a point going sharp. Missing less than 10 AR I believe. Also because as the build levels higher you want to pump str next or possibly luck as well for a quality build.

He said he's burn out on Souls games.

I wouldn't know since my computer can't run DS3. But why did they change it? The host is the one at a disadvantage, since he has to deal with the enemies and is going to lose a precious resource if he dies.

Confirmed. I simply cannot git gud. I'm trying I swear.

>get past dancer
>no idea what the fuck im doing

this whole fucking thing was mental

Why dark sword or grass shield? The equipment in the link is actually really good.

If you can do better then let's see it.

Don't you lose souls if you invade and die?

>Because everyone can't literally get good
Sorry friend, I don't discriminate. I believe everyone can git gud and if you baby them like this, then it just becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You help new or bad players by telling them what they could do better or why X is good and Y isn't, but by giving them a cookie cutter "free wins lol" build and tell them to have other people play the game for them.
That's cynical as hell and I can't support it.

dude rape haha xD (lol)

>It's my first playthrough guise, listen to my wacky experiences!

Souls are easy to get, and you can retrieve them by touching your bloodstain.

It's so funny to make fun of rape isn't it?

Spotted the Veeky Forums grumpy grandpas no fun allowed

spotted the fat chick

yes, yes, very grumpy, now take your 9gag-tier humor and leave

>Use UGS on my sl100 build
>win most of the fights
>Use UGS on my sl125 build
>lose most of the fights

The fuck is wrong with me?

>9gag joking about rape
>Veeky Forums not joking about rape

oh dear

Invader gets half the amount of estus that either he or the host has, I dont recall which. Invasions always STRONGLY prioritize hosts with phantoms. Phantoms summoned with password can be summoned at any level no matter how much higher it is. Overlevelled phantoms suffer a minor descale in damage. They can also heal.

user, some people's bodies and reactions simply aren't as healthy as they used to be. Build was made thinking about those whose age is affecting their performance or who may have experienced injuries or health problems rendering them unable to play properly. It's to still make finishing the game possible.

Le make me bich

Ey it's ya boi user here comin at you live with a brand new Dark Souls 3 beginners' build guide!
Remember to rate, comment, subscribe, follow me on twitter, tumblr and twitch, check me out on pornhub, like my facebook group for more awesome Souls content from yours truly. This has been user with another Dark Souls 3 guide, and always remember to praise the sun!

Oh, ok. It's more common to get ganked in DS3. It's why I play with miracles in DS2, so I can heal if the guy runs away from me to chug 4 estus down.

You take your youth and health for granted most likely.

As you get older or if you have certain injuries or illness it becomes next to impossible to have the reflexes for certain builds and playstyle.

There are some people who have been waiting years to finish the souls series. Not everyone is as good as they were during their first souls series or possibly better because they were at such a young age during their first entry

That's a nice thought, but how often do you get paired up with disabled people?

Every time I tag a red sign at pontiff's

One more thing; it seems somehow harder to punish estus in DaS3. In DaS2 if you were close enough you could usually even it out with a backstab. But for some reason its fucking impossible in DaS3 and the host will almost always get away with a sip

You're right, cripples and old fucks don't deserve to have fun. The next from game should just be an interactive move so as to not exclude it's major audience.

That's because estus heals instantaneously, like in DS1, isn't it? My friend also told me there's no poise and you can roll around like a madman, so I imagine it's easy to get far, heal and be ready to fight when the other guy gets close.

>invasions have bigger chance to target phantoms

Debunked, what happens is that anyone who gets invaded gets an invasion immunity. You can only remove such with finger, summoning or invading. It's not that they're more likely to, but simply that the pool of possible targets has a higher amount of phantom worlds.

>decide to watch the Darkwraiths go against the Ghrus in Farron Keep perimeter
>they carve through them like they're made of butter
>notice the Darkwraiths behave weirdly when they're out of view, resettin positions, changing direction they're walking etc.
>try something
>reload, walk out and keep the Darkwraiths just out of sight range
>watch their healthbars
>they get absolutely demolished by the Ghrus
Huh.

Yes, it's near instant, as is the recovery time after the drinking animation.
In DS1 you could easily run up to someone and bs them while or after they chug, but that's basically impossible unless you were already in position to do so already, but
>backstabbing in ds3
lel and zozzle

Am I halal /dsg/?

Yeah it could be good but I've never used rapport. I think I should likely throw a bow or cross bow on there maybe.

What, they don't become active if you're not close enough?

How can From fuck something up every time? They had it almost perfect on DS2 with the covenants, but they added soul level. In DS3, they get everything right but the combat is pretty fucked up.

Miyzaki literally hates pvp.

No, they did do damage to the Ghrus, but it was absolutely piddling compared to what they did when I was in range and looking directly at them.
Even looking away seems to revert them to a really stripped-down combat AI.

When an NPC invades you and you die, will they invade again?

whew... pyromancy is hard as fuck to kill ppl with
After 20 invasion or so I failed a good 15

Then went on my STR guy and did a 10 win streak at pontiffs

Now I am bored again
This game man...

I'm actually using the fallen knight armor because it is actually really good and efficient. Black Knight shield has vastly superior stability compared to grass shield and it's also 100% block

Only when you're embered.
Practice free aiming. No one's going to walk into your fireballs.

If you ember up and go into the area that triggers their invasion, yes.

I've never played Dark Souls before, I don't know if Bloodborne counts but I only made it to Old Yharnam using Multiplayer to beat the bosses.

I just recorded this shit, you can figure out my skill level at this point.

Any tips or what to expect?

Can I have comfy art?

>No one's going to walk into your fireballs.
:^)

I miss DaS2 fireballs, where you had a frame advantage if they rolled through your spell and you didn't even need to rely on them for damage because they functioned as setup spells.

Don't roll so much, fuck. I get that they cost almost nothing but you panicked like crazy and got yourself killed after a pretty minor mistake.

Well that's why it's possible to make a build in das3 already without having to be an MLG progamer.

Yeah I do practice it.
That is the hard part I was talking about lol

If you can't beat bosses by yourself, you're not gud.

And do yourself a favor and play Dark Souls 1 before going into the rest.

No. I played through the game solo and was almost never invaded. But anytime I summon phantom I'm almost immediately invaded

Stick really close to him. Hug his butt. Roll when he swings, but roll TOWARDS him. Try to get in a poke or two when he's recovering from his swing, but don't get greedy. Two-hand your weapon, your shield won't do shit against his attacks unless you actually use it to parry(and I'd hazard to guess you probably haven't even touched parrying yet).

Stop rolling, stop trying to move everywhere. Realize that the CPU's attacks are always going to take precedent over your attacks. Lastly realize that you will not be able to stunlock kill things until you're a higher level and that by mashing any move, including roll, you are only putting yourself in more danger.

Well of course he's just going to blithely walk into your fireballs when he's got a no-damage cheat on.

Someone told me the other day I can pseudocheese Dancer pretty early by dumping everything I have in vig until I get the dark hand. Anyone remind me on that? There was something about stunlocking every 3 hits or something. Which attack? Doesn't seem to work very well for me

What's the best path to take if I want to be a pure faith caster?
