>pointing out game's flaws is moving the goalposts

I'm sorry that there is no way to critique DaS2 without hurting your little feelings.

Tells quite a bit about you, now that I think about it.

you could try a poison dagger/spear. might be useful

All DS games are great, so it's not surprising when people say they enjoy DS2.

Because that's what they all are. Great.

>people complain about reused assets
>in a fromsoft game
you must be new.

i-is this cropped?

It was actually different
In das all roof was there for you to move and you could use it to your advantage, same as a fight it rehashed but even more handholding and easy
In das2 if you run around like a retard you would fight with 3+ gargoyles insteat of almost dead one +1
>pointing out game's flaws is moving the goalposts
You first said that there no gamebreaking bugs in das and das3, despite the fact that you could finish first game in less than 20 minutes by skipping to klyn and skip entire zones in das3
Then you said that this ones doesn't count
Yes, you are moving goalposts

They only complained about das2 doing it
Also people complained about it when das was released, but pc release brought really big wave of newfags who decided to forgot about it

Who knows

Yes, but it's not porn.

s-stop it

So is there any easier way to get Concords than farming SK? I've been at this after killing gael with +3 serpent ring in ng1 , alongside mimic head an crystal rapier. and coins. I have aroun 440 Item discovery but i haven't seen a single concord yet.
Also does it matter if I'm in Darkmoon Blade or Blue Sentinel?

How do you beat dancer of the boreal valley with melee? All the guides make it looks easy by beating it with low SL. I'm at SL45 but still having a hard time with it. Should I not use UGS against him?

It straight up copies shit instead of reusing it, shit game

what is it then?
post it pls

I like Dark Souls 2 (although I think it's also the weakest entry in the series) and it did some things pretty well like the NG+ cycles which had the most effort put into them out of all the series' games but I fucking loathe the attitudes of DS2fags where they feel like it's okay to shit on DS3 with the same arguments they cry DS2 was "unfairly" bashed for.

dark hand

I agree, DaS3 is shit.

...

Because doing a very precise jump or quitting the game at just the right millisecond in the right location is just as gamebreaking as pressing down a button when using binoculars.

There is a reason why the glitches on other titles took much longer to find while people were flying in the air on first weeks of DaS2.

They complain about what they remember from the game they least enjoy. I don't see anyone talking about how black knights use the blue eyed knights' exact moveset. Or how the executioner chariot is an upscaled, remodeled armored boar
>him
It doesn't matter what you use, she has obvious tells and you can avoid all she throws to you. But it's much easier if you use the dark hand or a bleed bandit's knife

>I don't see anyone talking about how black knights use the blue eyed knights' exact moveset.
They did, but then pc dark souls release happened
>Or how the executioner chariot is an upscaled, remodeled armored boar
Because it isn't

>Ornifex will never sit on your face
How do you go about coping with this bros

>go on trash
>go on /erp/ threads
>find someone that was willing to ERP as ornifex for me
I don't need to cope with it, user.
braaaawk

I ran into a guy with a Bleed-infused Ghru Dagger recently and that thing really pissed me right the fuck off.

>ornifex will never sexually torture you for weeks on end, denying you release
Why continue?

See the attacks again. Other than that dark breath attack, it's the same moveset

Literal 2nd post in thread complaining anout “shills” before “shills” even come, if you dont like ds2 arguments, how about you dont try to start one in the begining of the thread retard

...

The only FP management issues I ever had as either a Sorcerer or a Pyromancer was right after I got Vestiges and realized just how much FP it costs.

LICK DA BUSSI BOSS

What a bullshit fucking fight.

Reposting from the previous thread

I'd say take 4 points from VIG and put them into END then, you're hitting two softcaps then instead of just one

You've got two parry tools equipped, take it off and then adjust your VIT to suit the new weight levels. Then, adjust your other stats with the regained levels, you might be able to hit 44 VIG then

Bear in mind you'll be playing a game of attrition. Don't go for any unnecessary risks, chip away with your weapons. 2 swings with the SS then out, one counter thrust then out. Nothing will frustrate more than not only barely being able to hit a guy, but watching as your few and far between successful hits get passively healed

Don't bother buffing up unless you're able to make space beforehand. Start of the fight/invasion? Buff. Enemy distracted? Buff. Enemy far behind you? Buff. Those are the only times you should be keeping your buffs up, and you need to take advantage of that. Be slightly more aggressive in these situations, try to get them to use as much estus as possible during this time so that they're on the backfoot for the rest of the invasion. If it's a duel, this is the time when you use the bleed weapon, then for the rest of the time just stick with your regen sword. Don't use both buffs unless you've lost a lot of health and have the space to do so, it takes a lot of time and even more FP

And as I said, try both the Bandit Knife and the Brigand Twindaggers before commiting to one or the other. Brigand has the advantage of the slightly ranged thrust starting attack when 2-handing, which you should be with your dagger for the WA. Brigand of course will work better with Pontiff's if you can consistently hit and chase, since you're getting more APS so better chances of a quick heal

This has been going on for quite a while now and I was going to post it in the last thread but we crossed over to a new one.

I see ENB shills constantly cheer over him liking DS2 so I can't help but think the DS2fags and the ENB shills that inhabit the thread currently are the one and the same. Notice how the "ringed city when" fags stopped posting in both /bbg/ and /dsg/ when he started playing DS2 ?

I think that the guys were Dark Souls 2 fags falseflagging as a DS3fag to annoy people and now that the kiddies got their favorite eceleb faggot playing their favorite game, they hype him up constantly.

take him to the club

There's no way to make this good is there

Just...Just circle to the right man. Come on he's got the tracking of DaS Black Knights, and that's being generous. The Heide Knight is more likely to hit you than he is

Imagine caring this much about e-celebs.

It's useful for support pve builds.

his design is pretty rad though

It's more like everyone raping 2, it's just one sub human who says BUT MUH DS3 XD while 3 is better in every way.
Always spouting shit like "Customizing and Variety" in 2 without explaining what that even means

It wasn't the tracking really, when I finally beat him he didn't land a single hit. It's just that he has retarded amounts of health

Only if you can go back in time
youtube.com/watch?v=EvCbKNi7vL8

I don't really personally care about the ecelebs, but I care when their shills come and shitpost this thread to oblivion.

Force into toxic mist?
I'm looking into the non-scaling spells but I can't see a purpose

Do I need to summon Beatrice for Four Kings to get her set?

Blast the pottery?

>The Pursuer
>A retarded amount of health

Do not, under any circumstances, enter Shulva

I dont even know who the fuck enb is but its just plain retarded to complain about shills before they even fucking post, what would a shill do if they see that post? They would post even more. If he doesnt like shills then he should ignore them.

Give me a fun Dark Souls 3 build that doesn't rely on meta.

>DaS3
>fun

Is this how it's going to be? I mean are the boss fights in this game either retarded easy (Last Giant) or gimmicky?

Goddamn, lightning stake with the talisman weapon art is too sick

>DS2 and DS3 fags battling each other over which game is superior
>nostalgiafags circlejerk over the janky piles of poo that were Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1

Holy shit you're all faggots. The best Souls game has :

>actual difficulty
>fast-paced gameplay, none of this slow ass boring shit combat
>focuses on the good melee combat leaving harry potter wizard fags out of the picture completely
>challenging bossfights that switch up the gameplay
>unpredictable behavior of enemies
>clever level design full of traps
>no bonfire spam everywhere
>infinite replayability thanks to the help of procedural generation
>focuses solely on the PvE aspect of the game
>not ruined by Tanimura
>exclusive so PCfats and Xniggers don't ruin the community

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls fags BTFOSo why aren't you playing the evolution of Souls /dsg/ :

Here comes the DS2 kiddie defense force.

>Solaire
is there a more bland and ugly set out there than solaire's?

Fucking bullshit indeed
not being able to get his rad-ass set that is

Anything in das2

...

>dude muh feather and funny meme sun
Literally a character for normalfags
>praise le sun

I liked using a greatsword and offhand dagger, offhand dagger moveset looks cool as fuck, u can us that attack instead of rolling or running attacks of gs, it uses very little stamina too, good mixup,i just wish it could also parry... Fuck fromsoft, why would i wanna block with a dagger?

Were you trying to kill him with a slashing weapon? Armor and damage type of your weapon actually matters in DaS2 so if you're using a cutting weapon against something with a ton of armor you're going to have a bad time.

That's something that Dark Souls 2 actually did fairly well imo.

I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask.
And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last.
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past.

You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall.
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all.
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul.
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerizing cat call.

Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait.
Don't you stray, don't fade away.
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may.
Don't you stray, from the narrow way.

I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare.
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air.
Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair.

Okay but I still don't see any fun builds posted.

WHY MEMEAHACKY WHY

I was putting my summon sign in on the stairs where solaire put it to help with the boss. pls no bully

Well let's start with Shulva

You've got enemies that will tank more hits than pursuer as regular mobs. These mobs will poison you and be flanked with crossbowmen who will also poison you

You have enemies that can't be hit until you find their corpses

Three bosses:

A literally PvP ganksquad of NPCs who have slightly more advanced AI than you're likely used to from NPC invaders

A Summoner who pelts you from range while getting skellingtons to piss over you and will infact spawn a boss from the main game if she's feeling sufficiently prissy that evening

And a dragon that WILL require at least three good weapons to kill. It will require at least this many because these weapons will break during the course of the fight. You can of course use the games unbreakable weapon, but then you still have to deal with one of the tankiest bosses in the series, who really really likes to fly around

The entire area is basically a puzzle

And last but not least, you'll come face to face with the smuggest clown to ever walk the earth, and will probably get pissed on during the course of said meeting

Crescent moon sword is actually fun to use and suprisingly good

Just got to shrine of amana, how much is left in this game? I thought it would be over after drangleic castle but now I know I was wrong.

I like the leggings

That shield looks a lot like Hawkwood's. Maybe that was originally the design of Hawkwood before they made him into an Abyss Watcher.

And yeah, that's the Fallen Knight armor but the helmet looks less shit.

there's another area after the shrine

What did the game mean by this?

>tfw that was probably going to be a miracle casting sword

It is Hawkwood's. I'm pretty sure user refers to the cut ss/gs combo that was also used by the dude in the "the know" screenshots

Pick one

not 2

2 has a nice smile

Oh.
;_;7

>using the NPC as the DaS3 one

>And a dragon that WILL require at least three good weapons to kill. It will require at least this many because these weapons will break during the course of the fight.
Stop pissing about with his toes and hit him in the head. The fight is designed to punish you for doing the usual anti-dragon shit, because you take super high durability damage if you stand in between his legs and hit him in the toes. He's full of corrosive poison after all, lore reasons.
Compare the durability lost on the first hit, which accidentally hits body, versus all the other hits on head: youtube.com/watch?v=ldiLLjeYtys

...

Really? I already feel burnt out from this game, how many hours are left in this game from amana?

2.

I don't like the eye holes in 1's mask, and 3's entire set is too overgrown and edgy.

THINK FAST
It's the sword the priest hollows in lothric use. Considering they also use a chime, probably not
However youtube.com/watch?v=fRy57XWNSxE
Ds1 design with ds3 textures

To be frank, I really enjoy poison areas. As long as it has a really deep atmosphere, like Blighttown.

Pedophile

around 2-3 maybe. depends on how it takes for the bosses

Help me wrap my head around this, the Knights of New Londo were trapped in the lower sections of New Londo when it was flooded. So They've been underwater for however long New Londo has been flooded? Can they not swim?

>cut ss/gs combo
To me it looks like it could just be a case of concept art being concept art instead of a weapon being actually cut from the game.

If such a weapon existed and was cut, the dataminers would've probably found the animations for it like they found the animations for the Ringed Knight hedge clippers before even AoA was out.

I've got a dex build that uses three weapons that, seperately, aren't high in the tier lists, but together can pretty efficiently dunk on the current meta due to being able to outspace/dodge ultras, outspace/poise-trade SS and GS tier weapons, catch quickstep spammers, rollcatch effectively and chase people down, all while using counter damage

>Find fallen knight set in Crucifixion Woods just before running into the Bouncers of Farron Keep
>Pants belong to someone who pissed themselves before legging it
>Hawkwood went to go join the Watchers, got scared off by the bouncers, ditched his pisspants and the rest of his armour
>Found a Watcher who died fighting abyssal creatures/his brothers
>Puts it on, gets past the bouncers who thinks he's a card carrying member
>Doesn't lose his shield because he lives the pus boi lifestyle, goes off to fight with the Watchers
>Meets an abyssal snake, freaks the fuck out, hides behind shield
>After the fight, gets thrown out the club because pus boi, starts obsessing over the serpentine abyssal, obsession leads him to dragons
>Hell, maybe the abyssal was one of the dragons you meet at Lothric Castle
>Decides that he'll become a dragon because living as an undead doesn't suit him

Hawkwood is literally a cosplayer who got in over his head, snapped when he lost his purpose of joining the legion, then decided that he'd make becoming a dragon his purpose to show them who's kool
