Just fast traveled to King's Gate -> Far Fire and was invaded by a red phantom named Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Dressed in all of the butterfly armor and carrying a mortar/chain gun of toxis balls. (edit: machine gun fired toxic balls that destroyed armor) Cosplaying an rear end in a top hat without using invincibility. smafrolessman fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Aug 9, 2014 |

Crazier because I saw the TOXIC! message and all of the projectiles, yet I was able to damage him. This is my first cheater/file changer in now... 100 hours of PC DS2 Realized 'toxic' doesn't destroy armor, but nonetheless I encountered this

Come to think of it, a crossbow-ish weapon that used throwing items as ammo but launched them super far and fast would be a neat gimmick tool.

Naturally, the one time I start a new character to be based around only two-handing 1H weapons and wearing light armor for RoB + Flynn's is the time every enemy drops all its rarest poo poo.  Question on that. I've been using an upgraded Shortsword for the stamina and a Mace for when things need a Mace (you know how that is). I like the stamina efficiency of the Shortsword but it definitely has a noticeable range disadvantage compared to a Longsword, especially on the poke, and the 2H moveset is identical so it'd only have the edge if I were doing 1H and I pretty much never am. At what point should I swap over to the Longsword? I guess when I have enough stamina to do the same number of attacks in one bar with the Longsword? At the moment I'm 12/12 in STR/DEX because I'm planning to jack up my VGR/END/ADP to comfortable levels before raising STR any more, so I don't expect my damage stats to change much. Also, would there be any particular advantage to Raw on either the Short/Longsword? I'm pretty sure even at 12 STR a Mace is better off uninfused, but not sure about the swords.

White Phosphorus posted:I've been experiencing two-handing funkiness for the past month probably. If I two hand a weapon and just stand around with it doing nothing, my character will go back to one-handed for no reason. I don't think it has been a problem in actual fights yet, but it is kind of annoying. Dunno if anyone else got this, but check your keybinds and try to remove any redundant commands. I had a problem for the longest time with ctrl+whatever commands switching poo poo around despite me never pressing ctrl for anything, as well as the aforementioned two-hand to one-hand thing, so I imagine there's some funkiness going on behind the scenes with those keybinds. Clearing out all my redundant commands stopped all the problems I was having.

Genocyber posted:Buckler and Target Shield. But they're not necessarily better than small shields; they have more parry frames but also more startup frames which can make them tougher to use. Also makes doing setup parries (where you block a number of hits then parry the next) more difficult. The Phoenix Parma and Manikin Shield also have special parries. Of all the special parry shields, the Manikin Shield is arguably the best due to its low weight and comparatively high defensive stats.

Straight swords have a kind of sucky 2hand moveset but I guess the long/shortsword stab is pretty great. I'd go for the longsword personally for the extra damage and range. Raw will definitely not be worth it since your effective strength is doubled if you're 2handing it all the time.

Why is it people are allowed to poise through the last hit of Ricard's R2 attack? The startup on it is so slow, at least make it so I don't get punished on hit.

I'm curious, Carhillion is supposed to talk to the player if you have 8 intelligence but he won't speak to me, do you actually need more than 8 (as in 9 and higher)?

My main source of death in CoC runs is forgetting about the inability to sprint after running out of stamina. I've fallen down so many pits it's unbelievable.

Yeah that's hot bullshit, "being good at the game" and "being good enough and dedicated enough at the game to get both illusory rings on a single run" are pretty different things. Anybody who believes the majority of the people using those rings got them legitimately probably also thinks the internet is full of Navy SEALS.

Listen this is just my opinion, but as long as someone doesn't hack themselves the ability to float in the sky and have infinite life, I could give a gently caress what they give themselves as long as it technically exists. I mean someone spent 10 bux on Genocyber just because he hacked himself weapons that are neither OP and would be out in less than a week. The people in Dark Souls threads are way too crazy.

How do you know you're not dealing with the end result of some challenge run that took months to finish?

Nakar posted:What's wrong with the Longsword's 2H moveset? It's got a nice slash, a nice thrust, and decent running/rolling attacks. And it's stamina-efficient. It's possible that I'm remembering wrong and the Longsword and Broadsword have more differences between their movesets than I remember but the running attack and R1s are both slow considering how good the 1hand ones are. It's not bad, but I just feel like if you're going to use a weapon with the specific intent of only 2handing it then the katanas are basically a straight upgrade.

If you were gonna get those rings on NG you'd be a lot lower in SM because you'd skip most fights. And you'd never lose souls because you'd never die. No need to take an unnecessary risk when going for a no death run. Havel/Smelter gear is easy to come by, you're straight up give a dagger in the tutorial. Maybe the Monastery Scimitar is suspect if they all have them but as to the rest, I don't see how any of that is evidence of cheating.

I like being invaded, but having no cooldown and getting non-stop arbiter invasions does get old. I think that other than not having any way to get the reusable eye orbs (which is awful) invasions are fine in DS2. DS1 was fairly biased the other way under most circumstances.

I personally really like getting invaded during normal gameplay, as long as the odds aren't horribly stacked against me, which doesn't really happen in DS2. I personally feel like getting bluecop invasions for being a sinner is more like a reward than a punishment. Killing off an invader also feels much better than winning a duel or killing a host.
