Some locations would GREATLY benefit from having a reason to re-explore them with a darksign sun on. It changes atmosphere of some places drastically. Darksign sun is such a cool concept in general, at least it could be used to justify re-enabling an ability to get invaded everywhere you can see it or something.
Jacob Phillips
Why aren't invaders attacked by monsters what the fuck, how more gay can those faggots be?
It shouldn't be easy mode for them, come on. I have to pull both crabs and all those pike mobs and dance around them like a ballerina to make them somehow attack those faggots with aoe.
Liam Gutierrez
Invaders have half their estus, 30% less hp and can’t gain estus from mobs. You can have 2 fucking phantoms and twice their estus, how much easier does it get than that? If you get baited by an invader into the crabs you have straight up autism
Gavin Green
They do a huge Dark kamehameha, and slowly fill the room with Curse fog, but those can both be interrupted.

I would like to draw attention to the fact that SOMEONE LOST TO DEACONS
>there are people with +8 weapons invading before Pontiff Faggots.
Daniel Brooks
Shut up retard that's even worse, usually they invade when my estus is almost depleted. They have the element of surprise and can come fully prepared while I start in fucked up state. It would be fine by me if 5 seconds after invade message pops up estus would be disabled for both sides but the fact that they get half estus guaranteed and no mob aggro makes fighting those faggots hell.
No, you got it wrong, I baited crabs into invader because I had no estus left and couldn't fight him properly because of that so I had to rely on crab running after me and cleaving that retard with aoe.

I wanna paladin. Ds3 or 2? Already done 2 and farming the Heide knights early on sucks, but faith is soooo much better and fun in 2 than 3 and 2's got so much more shit to do. Which?

replaying das1 for the first time since release went with Mr. Boring Quality Knight (warrior start) build but it's proving me wrong because playing quality is actually super fucking boring in this game instead of fake-boring like it is in 2 where it's actually fun because das2's weapons were fun I forget if this game even had any fun weapons
Thomas Perez
Enemies are the only "advantage" an invader has but miyajapizaki decided to take the only thing invaders have over the host and their fuck buddies away and add the giant seed if you die to an invader while you have phantoms youre bad at the game and should uninstall
Jaxon Rogers
DS3, where there's actually multiplayer, so that you can serve your intended purpose as a paladin: healslut and buffslave.
Levi Garcia
use a seed from giants' tree to temporarily make monsters aggressive to invaders
Liam Phillips
Which bonfire is the best bonfire /dsg/?
Liam Smith
It would be interesting to see.
Imagine if Crux Woods and Farron Keep suddenly became Watchdog territory (meaning they can spawn inside the poison swamp), all the enemies become more powerful (Ghrus get much faster and inflict Toxic instead of Poison, Darkwraiths sprout wings or some shit and start dashing at you with super fast and strong attacks and a much harder to dodge grab attack, giant crabs constantly burrow out of the ground, etc.), and new questlines require you to enter the area if you want goodies. Then it would become more than just early game Gank City.
Too bad we can't have nice things though.
Austin Green

Adorable. Ds2 still had some multiplayer last time I checked. Gotta take off region lock.
Colton Gutierrez
>those tits Why do people always have to unnecessarily sexualize a female character in what would otherwise be pretty good artwork?
Ayden Turner
Protip: if someone posts it again, it being whatever bait you might think, this is the reaction he wants You're still in twink town. And you can summon phantoms or equip the way of the blue. If you can avoid the invader and reach the boss, he gets sent back. There's no reason to duel invaders
Grayson Phillips
also if you are capable of fun (probably not judging from your post) you can roleplay as a mob, hide somewhere or use the camouflage item/spell to waste the invader's time.
Daniel Cox
Heavenly Thunder, oh how I miss you. The real draw is the accessibility and progression, though. Can get plenty of good shit right away in Heide's, and then there's steadily more faith stuff throughout the game. Compare that to 3, where all the good stuff's in the very late game and second DLC.
Ethan Sanders
The second one in the TotG. I wonder how many desperate people it got killed. Closest thing to a bonfire mimic
Jose Gonzalez
To seduce you long enough to backstab you unfairly
Chase Hernandez

Lincoln Miller
>backstab you unfairly so the entire first phase of the fight seriously just backstab or parry her
Grayson Ortiz
But there's no reason to go back there after you've cleared it.
I think it would've been better if you had choice between doing a fork with 2 Lords of Cinder (let's pretend Lothric is the 5th instead of the 4th) or another one with another 2. When you kill 2 LoCs, the Eclipse sets in and makes all territories harder so you sort of have a choice which of the remaining two LoC's areas you buff and doing Dancer and DSA early means you have less difficul stuff to go through after the Eclipse but you have to do it early which is harder that way.
I would also like if you could only warp bonfires of killed bosses or designated "level starts" so you would be encouraged to make use of the world connections more.
Easton Gomez
Sprint towards him, then ready a shield. The challenge is dodging the water blasts, once you enter melee range he's laughably easy to dispose of.
Thomas Taylor
Serpentine, serpentine, serpentine. Run back and forth until it kills all the golems, then charge, making a hard turn every time it shoots. Time it right and you can get to the water in front of him and start fighting him, which is easy.
Charles Williams
why doesn't ash become hollow when dying? why powering up from that londor weirdo suddenly turns hollowing on?
Joseph Lopez
Sit on the rocks to the right side of the lake and you'll have an easier time dodging.

Then create reasons to go back to previous areas. Like, have an NPC or notification at Firelink that hints at something being found in Und*** Settlement or Farron Keep or Cathedral, and then when you go back you immediately notice that everything is fucked up and different. Maybe even change the terrain to give you access to things you didn't before (e.g., have a crumbling tower in the area before, and when you visit later it's crumbled due to disturbances and you can climb the wreckage to reach a scroll or a Slab or something).
>I would also like if you could only warp bonfires of killed bosses or designated "level starts" so you would be encouraged to make use of the world connections more.
You and everyone else. They should have worked sort of like a mix between DaS1 bonfires, and DeS Archstones, where only certain ones can be warped to while others serve as resting stops for you to replenish Estus and change spells, or just evacuate back to Firelink should the going get tough.

This is my current build at SL 20, using (2H) Heavy Splitleaf GS, Ringed Knight SS, and Dark Hand. It's a lot of fun, but I'm ready for a change of scenery and am going to level up to 30. What would you do with the 10 points?
I'm leaning towards 2 into VIG and 8 into STR, because even with the minimum required STR to 2H it, Heavy Splitleaf still gets far more AR than Sharp, Refined, or Raw. I could then 1H it for whatever that's worth, or stick to 2H and swap Knight's Ring for FaP or Chloranthy (I find myself starved for stamina in 3v1).
And yes, I know Deprived isn't the optimal class, but I made this character with the intention of using it as a template to reload and respec at my whim.

>What would you do with the 10 points? all into str to 27 1 point into vigor but you ROYALLY fucked up by starting deprived, like "delete this garbage and restart as knight/warrior" tier
Levi Turner
What is good and fast min stats weapon for a pure faith build? I tried everything sans SS since I want to be a hipster, but so far estoc is pulling ahead due to speed and range.
Also, how do you deal with parry kings? I am seeing way too many DSA/Parry shield users. I can fake out lightning stake and get them, but sometimes its just too slow
Nathan Gray
I did DS1 as low equip load dual wield, DS2 as sword and board and Bloodborne as a dex build.
What's a fun different build to do for DS3 after these?
Grayson Howard
2 into Vigor, then buff up Str/Dex so that you don't need one of those +5 stat rings, which you could then convert into either utility (Silvercat, Hornet, etc.) or FaP+3. If you went K***ht class you would have some more points to play around with, but to each their own.
Caleb James
Faith and mace.
Jordan Ward
SS and knight shield, literally no other way to play roll souls 3
Charles Peterson
Is it me or is DS3 much harder than the first one? In DS1 the only real challenging opponent at start was black knight because you didn't know how to parry, in DS3 there are already mobs at the very beginning which you have to be cautios of. Lothric knights, pikemen and crabs in the swamp, darkwraiths, even black knights who you can parry - but they will still delete half of your life through your parry.
Christian Harris
Try claws, magic/pyro/faith purist builds (no swords), dual swords, FULL STR You haven't done anything yet mate
Benjamin Davis
Do you believe in Magic?
Justin Fisher
>DS1 as low equip load dual wield, DS2 as sword and board Should have swapped those, DaS2 was the one game in the series that actually let you custom-build a dual wield character.
If you want different in DaS3, do a 66 Str meme build.
Gavin Peterson
STR is very fun in DS3.
Samuel Young
is a sl1 run of ds3 any fun?
Matthew Sullivan
>new From game is Tenchu
Who excited?
Cooper Rodriguez
The enemies are harder simply because they have tech to make them better after 5 years, but the overall gameplay is easier due to stamina and estus being changed
Chase Price
Like I said, I chose Deprived for versatility, not for minmaxing. I could set this character up to use MLGS at SL 20, then switch to Bordt's when I get bored. I don't use CE and I just don't have the will to do any more unupgraded low SL runs.
Sounds like strength is the way to go, though. Cheers!
Andrew Clark
SL1 run in DS3 is actually an SL31 run so yes, it can be quite fun
Isaiah Kelly
Lightning mace or saint's bident or blessed dslayer axe Of course, if you're into that sort of thing
Ryder Lewis
The time has come. Become strong. Str and vit.
Parker Jones
Alright I cannot beat Lothric, and Lorian with my pyromancies. Some faggot recommended that i try lightning on Lorian, and gnaw on Lothric, but I find that to be an absolute shit strategy.

What does his picture have to do with the new tenchu game? You asked who’s excited and based off the last 5 tenchu’s, no one is.

I guess every game the Souls series is based on is shit. May as well throw Demon's Souls in there too, since it reviewed about as well as the first Tenchu.
Liam Hughes
that is kind of hot
Isaiah Powell
Hey, that's my fetish!
I could there being a problem if you wanted to revert back to the non-fucked up version of the world.
The Know leaks speculated a World Tendency like system, shame that did not come to pass I guess.
THE BACKSTAB BRUISED MY SHOULDER THE CROSSBOW WAS AS LOUD AS A BOMB
Cameron Ramirez
Fromsoft wanted to not players become ugly raisins just from dying because that ruined Fashion Souls so I think the Embered / Unembered thing was pretty good imo.
One weird thing I noticed in DS3 though is that wearing armor no longer gives you that distinct footstep sound like DeS/DS1. Haven't played DS2 recently so I forget if it was in that as well.
Jacob Barnes
vacation of 1 minute it takes to reset a modem?

just joking fucked them up

at least when you're barefoot it makes the correct splat sound
in bloodborne it's always boot sounds, it bothers me so much

Do staves in DS3 have different casting speeds or is the best option always whatever has the highest spellbuff?

so why is soul of cinder wielding a bastard sword on the cover
Ethan Robinson
Is there any reason to do yoel's storyline? I'm all about fashion souls and don't want my dude looking like a zombie
Dominic Martinez
It's a mix, some people hated armors making soubd but I liked the rattle of the chainmail armors in DaS and the medium armor rattle in DeS. I remember in DaS2 network test if you hit a guy wearing armor, sparks would fly and the hit sound was different too iirc.
>versions with sex are better Not the guy who posted that but would be neat to see a Souls waifu milking a guy with her footpussy before she chokes on the rope.
Levi Peterson
hahaha i'm going to ask questions and not be ashamed of it fucking trash why are you asking questions stop shitting up MY general
Kevin Lopez
Just throwing this out here. (PS4)
I'm on a SL7, non-upgraded weapons, doing runs through NG+ and beyond, currently still on NG to do Ringed City. If someone wants to help out with Demon Prince, let me know. It would be fun.
I'm also open to help anyone doing Twin Princes, SoC, or Demon Prince, etc (on their low SL)
Thomas Johnson
Bump. Leaning towards 3, if only for something new. How are 3's miracles for utility? I've never cast anything beyond the non-scaling 15 faith spells.
Zwei.
Hudson Reyes
>Do staves in DS3 have different casting speeds Yes.
>is the best option always whatever has the highest spellbuff? It depends. Dex increases your cast speed, and so does Sage Ring, so you can still cast fast with a slow staff. I don't know the breakpoints or anything though, sorry.
Yes. You can buy Purging Stones later on to reset your Hollowing to 0, or cure yourself completely if you give your waifu Fire Keeper Soul.
Oliver Reed
Nono, actual sex. Footjobs and foot play are dumb.
Owen Hernandez
You can revert the hollowing thingy with purging stones, cure hollowing but it breaks Yoel's quest, or wear a ring that makes you look not hollow. Even better the ring makes you able flaunt your fashion in invasions as if you were a host.
