/dsg/ - Demon's/Dark Souls General

DeS should be right beside 2.

Remind me which platform Dark Souls 1 is active pvp wise

Never played bb, but this ranking is pretty good.

>giving replies to the guy that struggled to kill Maneater Boar

Making the combat all about dodging is pretty gay

...

Reminder that this man is your best friend.

What do I need to change about my build to beat Aldritch? Pontiff was easy as fuck, but I know Aldritch's pattern and its still not helping. I can't avoid damage even when I know what's coming, and I'm wearing the fucking black set (its extremely light). I take so much damage from even being clipped that it drains all my estus as soon as I get hit at all by any of his attacks.

>offhand a +10 Simple weapon for FP regen while wearing Farron Ring
>recover FP by unzipping dual Executioner's Greatswords and backstabbing mobs with Aldrich's Sapphire
I don't see the problem.

>DeS so low

Trash.

Hell, DS3 was my least played of the series and i didn't even touch the first dlc. Here comes the second.

I'm so tempted to go back but i just know this game's online is dead on console

I miss Dark Souls

Fuck, I didn't even post the damn stats.

I played DaS1 with a melee build and often I thought "man I should have become a mage, I heard they are fun", especially when some random invader did a million damage with trackcing projectiles from a mile away
Is magic still OP as fuck in DaS2? I heard there's some area that specifically has a shitload of magic resistant enemies but I assume by that time I will have leveled another combat attribute enough to kill them with a weapon

>clunky combat
>linear as hell
>super easy
>one memorable bossfight in total
>all mechanics were significantly more refined in later titles

Replay it, or don't, if you want to keep those rose tinted goggles

Gonna need the full version of that image please

I agree with him DaS2 worst part series. This shit animation, slow motion only duals be good but ather - big sheeet

You'd have to be blinded by nostalgiagoggles even thicker than DaSfags to seriously think it can favorably compare to the improvements of any other game that came after it.

It's only dead if you have an X-bone, PS4 is purportedly more active than on PC.

Do I have to buy all the goddamn spells from Orbeck again, when I already bought all of them in NG?

post weapons/rings your ar is fucking low

>Green Smelter

lol fuck that weak shit, when are we getting abyss/pus of man smelter dual wielding the red and blue swords?

Magic is more varied but less overpowered.
Your safest bet would be something like dark fog + dark orb.

What the hell is ar? Is that related to damage?

My top build for ivade
+3/+6 weapons

So no more killing bosses from afar in 4 or 5 soul spears or whatever they are called?

I don't know what equipment you are using.

Put fire on your weapon and stick to his asshole.
When he goes into phase 2, just run around a bunch when he does the arrow move since it lasts a long ass time

+2 fp ring

Attack Rating also called Attack Power. The somewhat arbitrary number of how much damage your weapon does.

FIGHT CLUB

We had the biggest one in a while yesterday and it's Monday. Maybe later.
You the full Havel's FUGS newfriend?

You mentioned ng+, so I can assume you've got +10 weapon already? I have Anri's maxed out and I don't know if you'll be able to pick it

"How good were they when they came out?"
DeS > BB > DS1 > DS2 > DS3

"How good are they if you play them today?"
BB > DS3 > DS2 > DeS > DS1

Yeah I have a +10 Court Sorcerer's Staff :^(

Europians cant into Dark Souls

>DLC trailer not out for 1 fucking day
>/v/ faggots and lucy come crawling out of the woodwork
anyway is the Ringed City Londor? or does this mean Vaati and co are once again btfo by From

I remember people calling this a noobtrap ring, did anything change?

Nah, DeS and DaS1 are still better than DaS2

One of the buildings had a big sword of avowal at the top. It seems like Londor.

It's fine, I'll put my sign right now at high wall pass: edgy.

Why is mine low then? Its a +6 refined partizan. Am I underleveled? I can't get this thing stronger unless I go farm a flame spear from the gargoyles in the profane capital.

This.

...

Where do you get that? Never seen it.

Screenshot description on the official fb page for Dark Souls says the Ringed City was founded by pygmies.

The cluster fuck of buildings seen in screenshots is called the Dreg Heap

From the screenshots it looks like this DLC will have four different areas to explore.

This is pretty accurate, except I'd switch BB and DS1 on the came out ranking, and DeS and DS1 on the today ranking

best ring for low lvl. after 70 its useless shit but 10-50 its rly good

>clunky combat
Please, it's faster than DaS

>linear as hell
Yes, but you can choose where you want to go first, it's not as linear as DaS3.

>super easy
True, if you played any other Souls before it's the easiest, except in NG+1, this shit rapes people usually.

>one memorable bossfight in total
Astraea, Flamelurker, Penetrator, Old King Allant, Old Monk, Maneaters, Stormking.

>all mechanics were significantly more refined in later titles
Well if it wasn't like that in all games I would be worried, thanks devs refine the mechanics with their newer games.

I didn't play it when it was out, I played it after DaS3, a month ago. I got a PS3 and though why not give it a try ? Turns out it's really great. Far better than DaS2 in my opinion.

>Framerate unsuitable for online play
JUST

So the Queen of Lothric laid a fucking egg?

U need Soul of Gundyr

Partizan is just on the lower end when it comes to damage.
but you got that sword right?

Well she did fuck an eyeless dragon guy. Low standards I guess.

I mean, is the bonus to hp worth it if you actually take more damage?

Did they ever doing anything to help faith builds?

made arena unembered so that regen is proportionally a lot better

that's about it

>Please, it's faster than DaS
Debatable, and faster doesn't mean less clunky

>You can choose where you want to go first
Yeah, sure, but the levels are still point A to point B with mediocre level design

>Penetrator, Maneaters, Stormking, Flamelurker
>memorable
I guess Astraea is cool from a pure lore perspective, and Old Monk has a (rarely used) cool mechanic, but the others? Nah, I don't see why.

>thanks devs refine the mechanics with their newer games
Well that's the point, DaS doesn't hold up that well in my opinion, and one of the reasons is that the later games did what it tried to do better.

Yeah I managed to grab it in time. I was just worried you might have tried to drop something else that got eaten.

Thanks a bunch though.

I haven't had that error at all during my playthrough. There were some sketchy parts of Lothric Castle, but it never actually kicked me out.

RIng give me 110 hp and 12 stamina + low bonus to armor. and if enemy can deal to me 100-200 damage per hit u can see its 115-230

So, where do you think the DLC's entrance will be? Another simple NPC, or something more akin to AoA?

Depends on how much armor you're wearing but generally you take more damage than you get in return, at best it comes out about even, it's really only good for the stamina and equipload.

Yeah. The Rose of Ariandel is the new cheapest weapon in the game with phantom hitboxes out of the ass.

>This new adventure has players chasing after the Slave Knight Gael to the literal end of the world as he searches for the Dark Soul of Humanity.

Ooooooooooooooooooh FUCK.

They gave Lothric's Holy Sword E scaling with Faith

Wait, strike weapons prevent skeletons from reassembling in DS3?

I rollback my saves after giving out freebies anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Reminder that AoA was a mistake

No, but they knock them down with each hit.

I have fucking axe + fucking sword with 322 damage who need more?

>SL 150 build
>in a recommened SL 80 area
>complaining that it's easy

You're not very bright are you

DeS and DS1 have aged a lot worse than DS2.

>Drangleic Crest
>Desert Sorceresses
>Manikins
>Earthen Peak

I TOLD YOU FUCKERS DS2 WAS CANON

I CAN'T WAIT FOR ALDIA TO BE THE ONE WHO COMMISSIONED THE PAINTING

>Rose of Ariandel
>a weapon that you literally flair youself with to boost your faith

holy fuck, i've been playing for a long time but skipped out on that dlc.

wtf i hate friede now

Shut up isis.

>Drangleic Crest
?

Hi paddrick

>that vitality

Definitely not even close to 150, I'd say it's not even 120

I might have overestimated the BB hype because it was the only/best PS4 game at the time.

>Canon
lul wut its can be ather reality like X-man reality

Fuck off from FCs

What happens when we link the fire/shut down the fire/become Darth Vader? What do we win?

>I can trash the easy phase with an over leveled character

It's actually SL100

If you gain 15% more damage but have over 15% more HP its a net gain for the most part.

Now if you really had like double health in exchange for taking double damage, that would actually be a bad thing since your estus and healing miracles would feel half as large, but in low level invasions you're gonna hit the top of your healthbar a lot anyway, plus you get 5 endurance which is always welcomed, plus 5 vitality which is potentially meaningful.

Generally speaking, if you're using it as a means of hitting 27 vigor (as in, you otherwise wouldn't be able to) it's a complete gain.

>heysel pick but for mages
it isn't exactly op user

>Playing the dlc on your sl120 char on ng
>wtf it's so easy
Why aren't you on ng+7 yet ?

Rose's buff last 2 minutes and turns SLS if you can land them into a one hit kill

>being able to easily beat a boss makes it bad
congratulations, every boss is now bad
