From can't balance for poo poo.  It's my first rage uninstall, I feel like I've lost my virginity or something. Calm your dicks, was just editing out my account name. Foxhound fucked around with this message at 22:32 on May 12, 2014 |

delta534 posted:Right now I want to slap the person who though linking the window for activating guard break and jump attack to the FPS was a good idea. I should not have to limit my fps to be able to preform them reliably with my controller. You realize that things like this aren't engineered this way, they just result this way. Programming modern 3D videogames isn't exactly easy, okay? I mean I agree it sucks and its a bad bug, but to pretend that some rear end in a top hat developer was like "mwahaha, I'm going to design this game to have a flaw in a really obtuse way because I'm an rear end in a top hat" is just retarded. A game is a result of a team of 10-100 people working together, with schedules, conflicts, budgets, etc. There was no one rear end in a top hat for you to slap. Grow up.

Santier's spear is ridiculous to get what with the breaking it and everything so I think it has that trying-hard look that makes people mad. Before you saw it a bunch it had a pretty confusing moveset too which made it tougher to deal with. Like Geno said it's the easiest thing in the world to parry though and it's not like super strong or anything. I've barely seen anyone try the back step parry thing but it's pretty dumb, the single blemish on an otherwise perfect PvP experience.

Jose posted:How many bosses are optional? I missed Executioners Chariot, Old Dragonslayer and avoided the Belfry Gargoyles too. Was I supposed to do them? There are quite a few in DS2. The ones you mentioned, Vendrick, Ancient Dragon, Flexile Sentry, the Rat bosses, etc.

I'm not sure yet, but I think burning an effigy only stops invasions in the area that bonfire is in. And the bonfire for the Belfry Luna is after the Gargoyles fight.

Raygereio posted:Out of curiosity, at which bonfire did you burn an effigy? I wonder if they did that poo poo intentionally just so you couldn't do what he's trying to  It is a little awkward figuring out which bonfire covers which zone. I kinda wish the game made it a little more explicit, same with Dark Souls 1 and which "boss" counted for which "area", because once you beat a boss you couldn't summon there anymore. Oh well, you figure it out the hard way, classic

Graviija posted:You're not 'supposed' to do them, as they are, in fact, optional. They give you access to covenants or items/treasures, though, as well as boss souls, naturally. I never really thought about it but its obvious that either Flexile Sentry or Pursuer are optional. I only even did No Mans Wharf because I knew there was someone who sold sorceries there. I might go back and do all the bosses I missed an ascetic Skeleton lords, Freja and Najka for items before moving on

It's absolutely dead simple right now to build a character that can basically dead-stop anyone coming through the Belfry by simply choosing not to spec right to progress past there.

I really like the idea of the durability system, git gud quit bashing weapons on walls or use right weapon for right situation. But man low damage weapons or ground slamming movesets get hosed over so hard by it. The result feels like I use a smaller variety of weapons since other things seem to break so fast, and upgrade materials being scarce early on doesn't help on weapon experimentation either. Or just greatsword through the game  .

Genocyber posted:No, it's only hitting corpses (And presumably non-hostile targets like phantoms, since I believed they're grouped together). Check that reddit post if you want to see actual numbers. That said, hitting multiple enemies will drain durability faster because you're hitting multiple things at once. In addition, armored enemies tend to make your weapon take higher durability damage than walls. And if you kill an enemy in a crowd and keep swinging, you'll probably hit its corpse doing even more damage. Uh? Did you even read it past the first 2 paragraphs? quote:So... I've tested it on Stone soldiers and Ruins sentinels in the Drangleic Castle. quote:Here is another one with the halberd and wow...

Do it offline so you don't have to deal with invaders. Luna is also good for Skeptic's, but less so cause you gotta kill the Gargs each time.
