If /dsg/ tried to make a souls game, it'd be unplayable trash.

It's probably to stop people from being invaded when they're just off by themselves farming for items.
How would you like to be farming Swordgrass, only to get jumped on by someone who then interrupts your progress and causes you to lose your souls?
Reds don't need more opportunities to invade since they can just do duels, the problem is that blues need more opportunities.
Colton Wright
Sure, why not. Now if only enough of us knew how to code for games.

Hey lads. For Dark Souls 1 how would I go about a monk build? I'm thinking caestus but I can't help but think there might be better options...probably not.
It'd have decent faith, no shield with healing and force miracles to represent ki. Pyromancies include ironflesh and power within to represent a strong will and force. What's a good set? And what are some good rings? Also, what do you think would be a good upgrade path? I might stack humanity to show that the monk is very sturdy and civil, but I'm not sure.

Even if it was only one area with 15 weapons and two bosses, so long as that area was nice and varied for ambushes and stuff and the bosses were suitably challenging for co-op, and the weapons weren't complete trash, it'd probably get more action than real souls does because /dsg/ could just hotfix broken/underpowered/overpowered stuff instantly.
Oliver Sanchez

Ian Wood
What kind of character are you planning on using and what starting class and playstyle?
Kevin Rivera
What if some of those summons only want to fight bosses? It should just be red signs like normal, but also invadable and you can pull in blues.

Do you need help remembering?
Jaxson Brooks
b-but don't you know that having limited left-handed movesets increases variety??? there are people that believe this
Christopher Wilson
Yeah well blues are even more broken then they were in DaS now that there aren't many players that need their hands held anymore.
At least in DaS you invaded a sinner instead of helped a host. It would have been perfect if a few things were tweaked: - sinners could be invaded with the area boss defeated - sinners had reason to stay human (e.g. make effects of soft humanity only apply when human), or they could be invaded even hollow

It's the same engine, so with enough time and fiddling you should be able to perfectly recreate your downs waifu.

this game has the deepest stories man XDDD
Jacob Cook
It comes down to mindgaming your opponents. You have to judge their playstyle and see if they know how to play around your weapon. If they dont, you can probably combo them anyways and win the fight without a parry. If they dance around your range though, a good tactic is to just try to hit them, whiff, watch them run at you, and predict the most likely incoming attack. Itll just come down to you learning the strength and weakness of your weapon, their weapon, and how dumb you might think they are. If they spam a lot you can just throw out a parry and probably land it too. So in short, ya just gotta git gud. Parry shields help though, but dont miss too many or you start to look dumb
Ethan Moore
PS4FC?
Jaxson Parker
But then what would be the point? The way it worked before, reds invade to halt the progress of a player attempting to make it to the boss; if they die or the host goes through the boss fog, the red (or area defending blue) fails. If someone wants to invite invasions to an area they already cleared, 9 times out of 10 it's probably going to be a gank (if they wanted to duel, that's what Red Soapstone is for).
That also begs the question, how would one escape an invasion if the boss is already dead? Obviously if they want to invite invasion they intend to face an enemy player, but some people are pussies who change their minds. The best solution would be just to give them no escape until they defeat the invader(s), force them to accept their decision.
It could probably inject some more life into the game, but there's not much point in it, and again, most of those would probably just be gank squads (though seeds would matter a lot less in low-level areas).
Luke Williams
Anyone up for a PC FC? I can host for a while, high wall or almost anywhere else but Pontiff's.
Josiah Cruz
>trade with someone >your attack passes harmlessly through their body and fails to register a hit Why is this so common? It;s not even like you hear the attack register a second later, offset by lag or anything. The game just straight up fails a collision check while your target is locked in an animation where they cannot possibly avoid or mitigate the attack.
Andrew Mitchell
>The way it worked before, reds invade to halt the progress of a player attempting to make it to the boss Well its a good thing that theres bonfires every 6 and a half feet in this game, to really preserve that feeling of a hunter and prey. Really makes every death feel like a true setback.
Hunter Brown
Think deeper.
Cathedral of the Deep was originally the Way of White, followers of Allfather Lloyd. Nowadays, though, clerics of Carim say that Lloyd was a fraud and a pretender god, while Lloyd himself is nowhere to be found.
There's a screenshot of the NPC who gives you the DLC key. He's in the Cathedral of the Deep, by the bonfire.
So, where did Lloyd run off to when his followers started worshipping Aldrich? Where could he go to get away from the blob monster that eats gods? And would he feel guilty about letting his entire church fall to corruption and sin?

I loved it because it coincided with the greataxe powerstance bug, and rollpoising through an avelyn volley only to punish with a greathammer rolling R1->L1-L1 for 1800 damage made me erect every single time.

>What if some of those summons only want to fight bosses?
No one will summon you for a gank if your sign is by the boss door. The mistakes the games make are not giving the player complete control over online without letting it affect gameplay. Some have HP penalty, others kill online after a certain point or 2 makes you use an item(even if it's easy to come by). The change I propose makes it like: >online is alive for the purposes of completing the game always >should a player have interest into still using an area for online again, they have a perma on button
That is true, I suppose, but then, why keep an area alive after the boss dies? Everyone exploring it is only after a few items and would bone out after. I bet alot of people kill ODK so they can explore the ruins without annoiances and that's fair. With finger, those who DO have interest into things happening, be them gankers or not, would get it and the game would be more active. If you just allowed them no matter what, people would just play offline and the numbers wouldn't change

No, soul spear does 800 damage if the stars align and you actually hit anyone with it. But I'll grant you that 400 damage per swing on a curved sword is pretty bullshit.

Top or Bottom. I think both are viable, just curious as to what people think which one will be more entertaining.

Yes. Also it could be 50% more damage and I'd still wear it.

Okay, sure, but let's throw away the armchair lore for a second here, alternative ending: Carim supposedly hates him, why didn't they jail him for being a "fraud" and then we fight him in the Carim DLC we could've had instead of more fucking blatant DS1 fanservice? Sure, yeah, Carim, but we didn't learn shit about the place until DS3, it has multiple mentioned names that are nowhere to be found, and 50% of item descriptions with Lloyd's name in it have Carim mentioned immediately after.
Nope, instead waifuism wins and we get le velkascilla in le painted world and we throw away LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THING WE KNOW ABOUT LLOYD
Ayden Bennett
You know they're probably going to patch that on the 24th, right?

Austin Murphy

Elijah Jones
They can't patch it. The only reason they could patch it before somewhat is simply by speeding up the backend of the swap alot faster. By not meeting the requirements you cause a lag.
To fix it, they'd have to force you to be unable to press the menu button after casting a spell.
Brody Adams
What are some fun weapons with decent to just a step below average AR that aren't: Straight Swords, Greatswords, Ultra Greatswords, Katanas, or Curved Swords.
I just want a weapon moveset I won't get bored of while I play up until Ariandel release.

>throw away LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THING WE KNOW ABOUT LLOYD That's like saying they threw away almost every single way when they introduced Gwyn to the player, since he didn't have lightning and was a hollow ass. Or Vendrick. Or a handful of other characters. A shitload of time has passed, things are not the same as they used to be during the time of legends.
Lincoln Ortiz
How about every weapon in Bloodborne?
How can a Dark Souls weapon moveset entertain you when the moves are copy pasted from other weapons?
