/dsg/ - Demon's/Dark Souls General

you're being just as bad as him 2bh

So lame

Also;
No dlc gestures
No dlc covenants
Only 1 ring and not even ng+ versions
Arena wins dont give covenant rewards

You're derailing the thread by being here

Remove the tripcode or leave the thread.

I asked when is a good time to do chalice dungeons, I already cleared the first one from the chalice I got from blood starved beast. But was wondering if I should keep going with central and lower or go fight Amelia

Reporting the fact that you've reported someone is a reportable offense, user.

I am neither confirming nor denying the fact that I have and/or have not reported you.

>1 (ONE) NPC invasion
>not even that great

Dont bother
They will make you overleveled for the maingame

And the maingame is actually good

Lucy has been here since these generals were on /v/. Stop getting your feefees hurt over a name

I miss the DaS1 dragon form
it looked kinda cool, but was grotesque enough to fit the setting
the DaS2 version tried way too hard to be cool and looked like an armor set
the DaS3 version is just fucking disgusting

>npc with amazing VA and lore connections is interacted with twice
>first encounter is missable

>Lucy has been here since these generals were on /v/
and so have plenty of other people who are tripfagging, what's your point?

aren't tripfagging*

Should just be a PC Souls general, that way we can isolate the tumblr tier behavior and keep it there

Souls on PC was a mistake

I'm still mad

Dragon form is kind of pointless now though. In DaS1 it was not only new and novel, but it was also a skill thing since poise was actually useful back then and the dragon form was zero poise.

Pretty clear that it's you who are trying to derail the thread. You aren't even talking about the game in your posts.

Just play main game. Chalice is just for autists who need to grind the best gems.

t. bloodbornecuck

You have your own general, feel free to leave

This armor, weapons, gems, unique bosses, unique enemies, and trophies in them.

>Friede doesn't even care when Vilhelm dies
Cute cruel ice queen... the best kind...

more worthwhile to do after maingame and DLC for the most part though, none of the stuff in there is necessary by any means.

Souls on PC was a mistake.

Yeah, because Demon's Souls can't be discussed in this general despite being a PS3 exclusive, right?
/bbg/ chose to self-exile and people come to /dsg/ to cry about how /bbg/ is ded.
>/bbg/ chooses to split the general and damn the consequences
>/bbg/ starts dying
>come to whine on /dsg/
>ask for threads to get "merged" despite people here discussing bb just fine in meta topics like favorite boss/weapon

If people insist posting UGH /BBG/ IS DEAD! while still posting about bb here I don't know what to tell you except stuff your dumb mouth when people point to you how to fix the problem.

>2v2
>Actually 2v1, enemy was alone
>I stay up the tower and shoot the fucker with millwood bow and kill him a few times with it
>Team mate still manages to lose like a fucking nigger
>Draw
Opponent deserved to win desu

The way I tend to do it is:
>Mensis (get a full set of frenzy doll gems)
>DLC (get full set of frenzy doll gems)
>chalices
>then NG+

Whats a good weapon with dragonform?

Bloodlust
So you can commit sodoku

Why is the DeS setting so good?
I much prefer it to the DaS settings, but i can't put my finger on why

Reminder that Dark Souls III could have been the perfect game that took the best of Dark souls 1 and 2 but instead they decided to pretend the latter never existed or did anything right and took one step forward and two steps back.

I like to think it's because it's so self-contained. There was no real consideration given to how 1-2 interacts with 5-3, or even 1-2 to 1-3. Every level is designed to be as effective as possible with a single connection to the next level in the world.

Because it's the DaS settings except not reused 3 times

Because it was basically an improved King's Field setting/atmosphere.

It was just good.

DaS went a slightly different route.

lewd souls

Dark Souls 3 being what it is, is entirely the fault of Bloodborne.

Really sucks because we could have gotten a much better game. They should have just made a Bloodborne 2 or something, not ruin the Soul's series with those mechanics.

iunno, but das and das3 (never played ds2) feels really claustrophobic and dark and uncomfortable compared to demons souls

It's the most straight-forward and immediately understandable right out of the box. It's also very relatable since it took me a good while to understand DaS setting's basic concepts.

The lore isn't as rich in Demon's and the backstory isn't as rich but the narrative is tighter and easier to understand. DeS and Dark Souls 3 had these elements in common(bes)ides the references :
>the goal your character is given right at the start doesn't change
>you're communicated very clearly what you need to do from the start
>you're referred to as a "prisoner" instead of being manipulated to act from your free will
>the story regarding the world is spelled out fairly clearly by other NPCs(Anri/Hawkwood/Siegward)

As such, there's less vagueness of the setting, but there's less room and holes for the players to figure out, resulting in lore that isn't as deep.

I think this is a major part of it. They took a lot of the "super fast crazy frenzy attack!" stuff from BB and slapped it on a bunch of enemies and bosses in DaS3, even when DaS has always had a slower pace, which means as a consequence they had to make rolling take retardedly little amounts of stamina and give you the same rolling iframes all the way up to fat roll. Can you imagine trying to fight Dancer with say, DaS2's roll stamina cost? You'd be at the mercy of RNG if she decided to do one of her many "5+ wide angle hits in super quick succession" combos

>tfw still fucking shit at parrying Gwyn

>Carthus Catacombs and Smouldering Lake

Why does everything drop Titanite Shards. Why is the sandworm too retarded to notice I'm attacking it from behind. How did I defeat the Demon King on my third attempt.

Demon King is pretty much just a normal demon with a boss bar slapped on. All his attacks have gigantic windups/tells. The only thing that ever gives me trouble is if he decides to spam those "growing and shrinking ring of fire" attacks which feel like they hit you even if you roll right through them.

>How did I defeat the Demon King on my third attempt
how? he is generally considered an easy boss, das1 minotaur demons are more tough than him

I felt I had more problems with the normal demon in the catacombs to the point where the skeletons just bum rushed him.

Mainly because his AOE explosion (I think it was that) oneshot me, an attack I don't think the King has.

hmmm might be just you
i found that demon even more easier than the king, hugging him and ocasionally rolling makes that fight pretty easy

however an enemie being easier for me doesnt mean shit, that its always relative, i always had problem with crabs the first time i played the game, to the point i didnt even killed one the first time i finished the game

do you use shields btw?

Yeah, but I tend to roll a lot as well.

>Why does everything drop Titanite Shards

Is this a complaint?

Can you still loot the +1 rings in ng+2? Trying to do the ring achievement and I'm considering just rushing through ng+1.

>Literally winning duels with Millwood funbow only
>Viable af in team matches
Can't wait for the fun nerf

Reminder to record your games.

Reminder to post new Webms.

Is it time yet?

How? Post webms or something.

She told him to fuck off and gave him a farewell gift, he was staying near the closed door to the chapel.

No. I'm just baffled by the amount of shards that I get, most of which I have no need to use.

Yes

from never nerfs DLC stuff

Guys, what's the most useful crossbow for a strength pvp build?

All you have to do is be a pillar-squatting faggot 24/7 until your opponent gets sick of it and lets you kill him so he can go fight someone worthwhile

No I mean how do you win with it only in duels, not in group matches where literally everyone just ignores you so you are free to basically just do what pyros and mages do.

I don't understand how the netcode managed to get worse over the series

They probably made it so it would be eaiser to upgrade another weapons if you wanted it. They want you to experiment I guess.

At least DS3 is not DS2 in network aspect.

Whats a good weapon to carry while i am doing a int build? Unitl i get the MLGS or GS of Judgement.

Seems like it just went from the worse dark souls 2 netcode to the normal dark souls 1 netcode. Either way that just looked like normal lag.

So uh
Did they actually go ahead and fucking nerf UGS hyperarmor by making it start slower?
Am I actually not fucking dreaming right now

I just can't go back to that.

>to the normal dark souls 1 netcode

It's worse than 1 for sure, but you're right it's better than 2.

You rarely saw massively delayed damage like that in 1, like it happened but I feel like I see it a lot more often in 3. Not to mention the t-pose shit that plagues my invasions.

>tfw me and summon take turns with greatbow, sorceries and pyromancy on invader

At least whenever they're just mindless killers. If invaders have manners and decency, we have a fair 1 on 1 with the summon first.

>You can parry people behind you

God I almost forgot about that ridiculous desync shit

Use obscuring ring for confusion in the beginning, run up the tower and shoot them. Then they follow then camp at the very end of the tower and shoot a WA arrow on the ground in front of you and jump off (with cat ring obviously)
I only had melee duel opponents so far though, it surely is more annoying against casters. But I already have gold and don't give a fuck

Any porn of those treeladies from the dlc?

>CCS weight and stamina consumption were reduced
do you rike it?

>It's worse than 1 for sure

Doesn't feel like it. Maybe it has something to do with the shitty/strict matchmaking of dark souls 1. Basically the long wait made you connect with people with good connection most of the time.

I will never forget the shitty and laggy spell firing in dark souls 1 pvp.

This shit is so retarded, but at least if you know someone is going to try and do it you can go for a backstab instead of a regular R1.

/bbg/ is just too painful for me. I became """"friends"""" with a lot of people there, and I was wishing that it'd be a BB and DsS3 PS4 thread. Too bad a lot of the people in bbg quit DaS3 early.

For all the wood they give to people there's ridiculously little lewds of them.

Honestly this
>tfw bbg will never go back to the comfy days of post DLC
>tfw FCs will never be like they used to

is there any way to filter the people responding to lucifer as well as lucifer?

In my experience its far worse than DaS 1 was. I get a few moments of "what" because of lag in almost every invasion, where attacks will hit or miss when they clearly are otherwise. This happens often.

Also, sometimes even just summoning a couple of phantoms will cause enemies in my game to lag for some reason. This was especially prevalent in a session where neither of my summoned phantoms could see the other.

Problems like these were around for DaS 1 too, but not nearly happening as often as in 3.

Here is my speedtest for reference.

recursive hiding
sometimes that shit filters half of the thread tho

I have one but it's a minute long and even when I cut out relatively unimportant bits it's still too huge. No idea how to convert this to make it less than 3mb

Yeah, DS3 was designed to cater to the fast-paced BB gameplay, and not the combat we all grew to love in DS1.

What we got was a combat system based purely on reaction and aggressiveness, instead of it being more strategical and prediction-based. Not to say that you couldn't play DS1 very aggressively, or that DS3 doesn't have any need for strategy, but going through DS1 with DS3 mechanics would be a fucking breeze.

Instant quick rolls, incredibly fast weapon speeds, etc. It was literally "we want the bloodborne audience", and now with the recent patches we're getting it's clear FS knows it's not what most people wanted.
Both DS1 and DS2, despite was /dsg/ might tell you, were reviewed extremely well, and have gotten awards. DS3? It's the lowest rated out of all of them, only slightly beating out Demon's Souls. which has more to do with it being a ps3 exclusive.

If this really is going to be the last game in the series, I sure hope the dlc and future patches bring a lot. The least they can't do is improve this half-assed system to the best it can be.

>Problems like these were around for DaS 1 too, but not nearly happening as often as in 3.

Probably because the way more easier and frequent matchmaking

best /bbg/ was 2 months before DLC til DaS3 was released. Nobody even minded FC posting in the thread because the community was so little that most posters know who's talking about who, and most PvP faggots there were helping out people who wanted to do co-op and gem farming,

>tfw lived on the otherside of the world
>have to wake up at 5AM just to join Saturday FC

I miss the good 'ol days.

I want to assume that this surprise patch, even though it's not what people really wanted, is the start of many, I'm assuming they're planning on reworking all the numbers in the game before DLC2 hits.

Some weapons are borderline useless. There's literally no point in using the Greatlance, for example, virtually over any available spear in the game.

Aldritch is pretty cute

Are there any other weapons besides the dragonslayer's axe that still have elemental damage when raw infused?
