/dsg/ - Demon's/Dark Souls General

How come when I respec, my base level is 55 and not 1?

user, you should look up the suicide hotline for your area if you're considering pressing that button.

>i'm bad and can't adapt

Huh? If your base level is 55 then that's a pretty shitty bug. If you meant level 5 then you must've picked a starting class with that base level, so you can't go to level 1 unless you picked deprived

I had a friendly character in DaS. I already know it won't work the vast majority of the time.

>2. wear 3 specific rings
>3. have specific weapon in off-hand
>4. wear specific attire
>5. have ANOTHER specific melee weapon as back-up to finish people off because it otherwise doesn't work''

yeah no, I'm not using thrusting swords on this build.

Oh. Well, I'm lvl 120 knight and I wanted to respec to try out different builds. And none of them work because of the base level that I get.

do people still play the first game?

>Crystal sage is as difficult as Aldrich, Dancer, and Champion Gundyr

I'm planning to get Demon's after I'm done with DarkS1 (already finished DarkS2)

Any early-installment-weirdness I should be aware of?

>Vordt as hard as Gundyr
What

>gundyr
>vordt
>crystal sage
>anything but 1
shit graph

What level recommend for pvp after Pontiff? I'm 60, getting decent bites bu I'm after that maximum fun pvp(kiln)

meant to reply to

It won't not work the majority of the time, it will never work at all in DaS3. I have three different characters with various themes I've done grape invasions with, all of them aiming to just have silly fun, and not a single, solitary time has the host been up for it. You'll get R1 spammed, you'll get caestus parried and BKGA hornet riposted at +0-2, SL 15 in the High Wall, you'll get clapspammed and have stalk dung pies thrown at your fading corpse. There is no fun in DaS3. There is only gank.

fight club when

Trailer for DLC 1 when?

>game is faster paced
>heavy weapons are the slowest they have ever been and consumes the most stamina
Why?

Pre-nerf Vordt was brutal, don't make fun of him.

Sounds about right

SL20 FC WHEN

bruh, if you find that playstyle fun and worth indulging in your free time, then you are literally too stupid to live

I actually managed to get some cool invasions as a grape or even dark spirit

I CAN'T GET PARRIED IF I DON'T ATTACK

I'M MAKING A GRAPE AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME

Time to make a new character then. What builds did you have in mind?

What nerf?

>3/10
>Brutal
What?

i'm not advocating for that playstyle, user. try actually reading my post next time
but anyway, if you can't adapt to it, you're bad. that's just it
get mad all you want, it won't make you better at the game

Holy fuck, what is going on? So I respec and start at level 9, but when I go and add 1 point, it jumps to level 55

I don't know, I wanted to try a PvP dex/faith build or just some pyromancy

Hackazaki hated STR from the very beginning

Huh? K***ht is the best class for dex/faith. What the hell is wrong with your Rosaria though? Could you make a webm?

False King Allant vs The Soul of Cinder

Who would win this titanic battle?

why adapt when i can just equip a carthus curved sword and roll people?

Soul of Cinder. He's level 999 so even if you managed to get soul sucked he would still be able to heal and do all the other crazy shit

I did it /dsg/!

i mean, if you want. i can't guarantee that you'll have much fun with it though

Souls bf when

Omedetou. But that group implies you lost though

Girl thats not a vampire gf when

...

I could make a webbum, but I decided to screenshot this for faster.

>Ancient Wyvern at 0

The only fun or challenge I've ever had with this boss was when I co-oped with a friend and we decided to make it a race to see who could reach the drop attack point first.

Anyone use the TPGS?

Well, it was a tie, we feel to our deaths.

Does it stop you early when respeccing?

Who /leech/ here?
>Invading Crucifiction woods
>Run into my 5th gank squad in a row
>Fuck this stupid bullshit
>Run to the area with the black knight
>Nobody follows
>Use chameleon to blend in with the pots
>They are fingered so other phantoms keep showing up to get pummeled
>Keep getting their souls
>Start shitposting
>Check back after an hour
>120k souls and I still haven't been caught
>Run out
>See host and his squad
>Toss down a thank you carving
>BC out of there

We all feel to our deaths here user

i won't, at all. that's what i'm saying - people who derive their fun from using weapons that they read on reddit are "meta" are probably human garbage in other ways that matter outside of video games. i think it's reflective of a certain mindset in a lot of cases.

Yeah, I lose about 46 points of stats due to the jump from lvl 9 to 55

>still feeling feels
plebian

That typo was shameful, sorry.

I... I might try this shit. Thanks, user.

Provided the next host I invade doesn't pop a seed like they usually do

>reach second bonfire of Frozen Eleum Loyce playing solo
>invaded
>wait for the invader to poke his head into the room
>he does, backs out, and tries to fire arrows from outside
>hide behind the wall
>he comes in, gets rekt by powerstanced grand lances
>retreats outside near the first enemy to heal
>pop a seed
>kill him as he tries fighting the guy off
>not about to let this asshole go just yet
>pop a token of spite
>watch him invade again
>gets obliterated from the seed still being active
>spot his gold sign a few minutes latter
>summon him, This One's Me, then BC him

I can be an asshole too you Brazilian cunt

sounds about right
though i still do use raw ASS, it's just too good man

can you respec as many times as you want so long as you bring pale tongues or is it limited to 5 respects per playthrough?

You're limited to 5 respecs (both stat and appearance changes) per new game.

>Like the Fluted set from Demon Souls
>It only appears in Demon Souls

Lautrec did nothing wrong

What exactly do I miss out from killing Sirius for her set and catalyst?

what the fuck are you talking about

Vordt's been nerfed recently, apparently. But, even before the apparent nerf, he was still a joke, especially compared to the dancer.

LMAO no it wasn't you fucking shitter

i was there

you fell off the archives top level, i was still there watching you think you were epic kiting me through the entire level and then you fell off like a bitch

this was after you failed in dueling me in the bonfire and used all your estus then ran like a bitch

ahahahahah holy shit

i should have known with that special snowflake autist character name and tryhard gargoyle spear

fucking br scum

Straight away? Creighton's Set and Dragonslayer Axe, Silvercat's Ring, Blessed Mailbreaker, 1 Blooming Green Blossom, Sunset Set and Shield and the Darkmoon Loyalty gesture.

Silvercat Ring (no fall damage)
Moundmakers Covenant (if you haven't joined yet)
Sunless Set (Sirris' Grandfather's armor)

Actually quite a bit

Cat Ring(useful everywhere)
Creighton's Set(headpiece is 10/10)
Dragonslayer's Axe(probably the best regular axe)
Sunset Armor(good fashion souls in each piece)

Ability to get Creighton's Set, her shield, Silvercat Ring maybe, and Hodrick's set.

He warned us about the gank squads.

He knew that you'd just bring the firekeeper back so there was no wrong in killing her.

He gave you the FAP ring.

He was training you for the horrors of invading.

Truly an honorable spartan.

Ignore this post
see

You can't stagger him during his ice breath attack anymore so you get a 10 second window to freely spank him and not deal with his second phase at all.

Damn idk I really want proper bow though for my pure caster build. I don't think I need any of those items.

i beat him when the game came out, he was still piss fucking easy

all he gets in "stage 2" is a shitty charge move thats like half the speed of ocerios and impossible to get hit by

You could always get a mule to gift you the sets if you want

No, in phase two he also gets new mace slams that you can't avoid by just staying under him. He was still easy, but from decided to nerf him anyways.

Is there any reason to use Gundyr's over the Red Halberd? They have the exact same AR on a 40/40 quality build and nearly the same moveset (i never use either L2) but the r1's are slower and it's obviously unbuffable. Is the range longer bc it seems equally ludicrous on both?

>nearly the same moveset
pardon?

>Aldrich has a skull

huh

their r1s are completely different

gundyrs cant be parried at max range and has hyperarmor 2 handed

you ain't prepared for the shitswamp, boy

Wait, if I've spoken to Sirius already once and then I summon Heysel, is it possible to ever see Sirius again?

I got a shit ton of poison healing items from the prisoners.

I think I'll be fine.

He was human, once.

the literal only difference is their R1's and their unusable L2's

poison is the least of your worries

By the time he did that, his HP was already at 40%. Hardly any difference.

It looks completely fucked.

Is the black shit surrounding it supposed to be his hair?

What killed the modding scene for DaS 3?

i-i got a couple of plague healing items

>one game has been out for 4 years
>one game has been out for 3 months

woah.....

that's not it either
