/dsg/ Demon's/Dark Souls General

THREE MONTHS

It'll probably be the 25th already for me. Fuck.

Quality is the only fun build. 40 Str, 40 Dex, rest in Vig and End, then you can use 90% of the weapons in the game at full effectiveness.

Because it its a secret.

>Herald
That's fancy gear with strong colors right?

MOMMY ROSARIA!

She was still head and shoulders above pretty much every other level up waifu, and a bunch of other characters in the whole series. A bunch of the problems with her characterization stems from how horribly flawed DaS2's overall story and "lore" are, but she's still my favorite of the three.

Post yfw you get summoned to duel pontiff
1 More unrelated webm inbound

August is already over you stupid piece of shit

git gud or play another game meanwhile

>not going 40 INT, 40 FAI, rest into Vig and Att, and using every spell in the game

NOOOOOOOOOOO

Kirk please go

>stopping at 40 INT, 40 FTH

Have fun not using Crystal Soul Spear or White Dragon Breath.

...

YOU'RE MOM A SLUT! SLUT!

this is fun

and a chaos or dark longsword with the appropriate clutch ring has over 500 ar

not worth

I was summoned before as well, me and another red ganked the shit out of him....it was pretty easy, he probably had NG hp

For whatever reason, they announced that it would be released on the 24th and they're sticking to that date.

Okay then, have fun not meeting the softcaps for dark magic scaling without rings.

Can we stop shitposting and actually talk about the game?

What would you like to see in AoA?

1.- More ultra greatswords
2.- Miracles and Hexes
3.- PvP Arenas
4.- 1-2 new covenants
5.- Lord of Hollow ending getting continued in DLC
6.- Lore explainations
7.- Solaire's coprse
8.- CU and BOTC final fight

i have just over 600 hours and every achievement in the game

anything i should stock up on or do before the DLC?
should i do another NG+++* playthrough to get another 7 slabs? or is it safe to CE in a bunch of those, im pretty sure its the only thing i really need to do

Firekeepers are so cute

>using dark magic
>ever

>get another 7 slabs
There are 8 in each playthrough

Flails
More unique weapons
more fun

Maiden in Black has her beat.

SL1 run through the DLC

1. Londor

2. Angels of Lothric

3. I don't know how these two can be worked into a kingdom named "Ariandel"

4. "Ariandel" is a stupid name

5. better Dark Magic

6. maybe a Serpent boss fight?

...

Which weapons in DS3 are absolute garbage? I'd like to use a good weapon that is not OP. And I don't want to end up with pure shit like the Dancers swords.

She's ugly as fuck, worst firekeeper

we dont know shit about Ariandel

personally i dont think it's a place, it must be someone or something like that

>more ultra greatswords

maybe one or two. Other ultras need to be like tripled in number

>miracles and hexes

I want a lightning spell i can spam but does shit damage
dark orb would be really nice
scraps of life is cool

>pvp arenas

this is already confirmed; i dont really care

>new covenants

id rather that they fix the current ones or make the rewards more viable.

>ending continued in expansion

nigger what? dlc always takes place before the ending happens

>lore explanations

good meme, unless we get some good item descriptions

>solaire's corpse

w-why do you want this

>CU and BOTC final fight

please no

>Feels good to be a PC player

>Flails
>mfw I found out that DS3 again did not have flails

"Ariandel" might be the name of a character. And angels can work with that, because the name ends with "el", just like biblical angels' names.

I hate that they made her do the little foot kicks like the Maiden in Black. Get your own thing bitch!!!

do you want a totally worthless weapon or a fun but "not very pvp viable" weapon?

>Ariandel is a person, not a place
never thought of that possibility

I want more dark scaling weapons.
I don't much care about UGS (though at least 1 with a unique moveset would be nice) since we already have so many, but I would like more greataxes since we got so few in the main game.
A bell-weapon of some kind.
More variety of dark spells
More magic in general that's utility based without just being straight buffs, things like VoS and that jihad miracle from 1.

More weapons with really atypical weapon arts, like something big having quickstep or leaping slash, or a dagger than can spell parry.

nah MiB is the cutest. Herald was lame as fuck, ugly ass model, stupid shoes, bear seek seek lest, cut story line, etc.

No I'd like to avoid the bad ones.

>ending continued in DLC

Nigger bro, please let me explain and blow your fucking mind

Imagine the DLC starts at the kiln seconds later after you usurp the flame, just for you to be guided into Londor by Yuria and everything ending up in a battle of biblical proportions against Angels/Serpents/CU-BOTC

literally the only way to make DaS3 a next level experience instead of HUR DURRRRR MUH UNRELATED AREAS TO THE CLIMAX OF THE PLOT PLS LOOK FORWARD TO IT

OUT FUCKING SKILLED

>locking the dlc content behind a secret end that isn't even that popular among the fanbase
never gonna happen

BB had a few flail-like weapons, but I wish we'd get a legit one sometime dammit.

>DLC trailer TOMORROW
>Subsequent DLC information at TGS 2016 23 days, 21 hours from now
>DLC hits October 26, 2016, 63 days from now

How you holdin up

Londor
Angels
Dark scaling weapons
More dark spells
Ice magic
Possibly a new covenant
Quickstep crossbow
Burial knight set
Connections that break the linearity

Obviously all of that at once might be a clusterfuck, but those are the things I want.

Poise

>63 days
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>nobody wanting more information about the Profaned Capital & Flame
of all of the areas of the game that deserve a revisit, it's these

About to end it all, younger Wolnir.

>quickstep crossbow

my nigga

>nigger bro

i want the heralds outfit on the MiB

greatsword weapons are sort of a middleground in balance and i personally find them extremely fun to use, straight swords are extremely strong ranging from super good to meta tier, personally i go with the lothric knight sword because it looks good

if you want something with a bit more flavor then maces are in a very good spot, obviously they are not meta tier but they can carry you through the game

personally i have always wanted to try out offhand dagger because of its unique stance and animations

Just learn to use hyper armour already holy shit. Your crutch is never coming back.

This, we need Profaned Capital and Londor, not more snow.

that's 1 month sooner than TOH dropped, don't be a baby

personally i think backstabs were infinitely bigger crutches than poise ever was

i only fight people on elevators when i play das1

aint having nothing of that bullshit

IIRC, the biblical "el" is hebrew for "of God" hence why most angels have it in their name.
However, del is derived from "dale" which is just an olde english word for a valley. It's fairly common for british, and for european fantasy towns to be named Xdale or Xdel when they are in proximity to a valley of some kind.

So Ariandel could mean Arian of God, as in a being blessed by the divine, or it could mean Arian Valley, as in a settlement located in or near the geographical feature.

How pissed would you be if the Serpents don't get touched upon in the dlc?

There's no reason why you should get staggered by a broken straight sword in full Havel's

>at the end of ds1, solaire went back to link the flame in his own world, becoming a lord of cinder
>at the start of ds3, some bells rang and all the lords of cinder revived

where is he now?

It would make the statue in the Grand Archives feel like a complete red-herring and tasteless, pointless fanservice on the level of Old Dragonslayer.

Why not?

It would be something like "get to know the canon ending you loser"

poise was one of the reasons why backstabs were so easy in ds1
these two crutches are connected

They only revived 3 out of the countless LoC to have come and gone. Presumably only the 3 most recent ones because they would be the easiest to bring back.

yes, in effect it would make the Usurpation ending canon (because let's face it, everyone considers doing the dlc content canon), and that is anathema to Miyazaki & Co.

plus there would be plenty of backlash from the fanbase as well

>All the lords of cinder revived
Except this isn't the case you fucking meme

Probably one of the souls that merged to create Soul of Cinder.

because newton's 1st law

I dont know about that bro, i dont own a BloodborneBox(tm) yet

realism-wise speaking, there's also no reason why you should even take any damage at all from such a hit
it doesn't mean that implementing that would be a good game design choice

Are you retarded? The attack would recoil back to the attacker. Have you every swung anything at a rock?

ALRIGHT /dsg/

the DLC trailer drops tomorrow, which means that tomorrow we get the answer to the most important question of all:

who is going to be DaS3's Artorias/Alonne/Raime/Ludwig? the bossfight that's meant to be super badass and a moment for the player to say "WAIT I KNOW THAT GUY! I read about him in the descriptions but we never met!"

Yeah. The rock breaks my dude.

Ariandel. It's going to be Ariandel.

There's also no reason why anyone would be able to wear such armor in the first place.

Gertrude, Heavenly Daughter

So angels DLC pretty much confirmed

Ariandel. Probably a glorious winged faggot.

>"Single player fans will be disappointed"
>"DLC consists only of a PVP-exclusive map"
>only quote that .jp blog with minimal info
And these fuckers call themeleves the best gaming related site in Germany.

There's no such thing. DaS3 doesn't have any big absent lore figures other than maybe Queen of Lothric.

>Ariandel. It's going to be Ariandel.
doesn't count, user, it has to be someone from the main game that is always mentioned in the main game's lore, but never actually seen (like Artorias)

Is Flamberge finally something decent?

When you earn a living in such a pleb market you need to do anything to assure clicks on your articles.

Gertrude. Or Artorias again lel.

Four Kings.

something like this
