voltcatfish posted:You've convinced me friend. Now I need to figure out when to start pumping luck. You could kill Anri for their sword right when you meet them outside the Crucifixion Woods and have an amazing Luck-scaling weapon pretty early. Not a super easy kill and obviously involves killing a nice NPC but it's an option.

Maybe it's latency but I always trade with somebody if theyre swinging, regardless of weapon type. It's latency yes, or you being too slow. Why do you trade then? You're almost always taking more damage from a single R1 from any weapon if you're using a short sword. Unless you go into a R1 spam wars and then you win because your second hit gets in first most of the time? Is that what you do? ropa fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Apr 27, 2016 |

Babe Magnet posted:the best starting class is deprived It depends on what you want to do with your build. E.g. If you're planning on going melee only pick a class which starts with sub-10 bases in the magic stats. You can get an extra 2 or 3 relevant points over deprived. Really only matters for min-maxing low level characters.

You really think From made a whole complex system that barely affects gameplay, is impossible to notice and no one is going to care about? I think it's more likely they had poise, removed it through development because it trivialized the PVE but in removing it there remained left overs of the system in some weird instances, like the one described in the video. Or do you really think we have the Wolf Ring, a ring that does gently caress nothing unless you watch some crazy poo poo insane youtube video? Come on now

Is summoning so hosed for Nameless King because everyone needs help there? It was taking me 5+ minutes to get past "Unable to Summon Phantom" last week. It was worse than trying to summon on release night.

I must be in the minority, because I actually like fighting dogs in this game. They always attack in the same manner, which means you can time your attack so that they throw themselves onto your sword. Feels just as cool every time.

Yes, i know. I thought i would be having fun with a dex build, and i was, up until everytime i met a boss. Cant even touch bloodstains at the moment, somethings borked.

net cafe scandal posted:Show of hands.. how many of you actually thinkt his is true. For a new player: 2? No. 4 or 5 maybe. For early bosses, certainly. I have my weapon to the point I can 1 or 2-shot most enemies I'm fighting. The problem is if I run into a big group accidentally I'm just stunlock shoved into a corner where I can't roll out and just die because every swing gets interrupted. I just thought I was bad and there's nothing I could do other than never fight that many enemies. But after finally getting the stats for a greatsword I realize with hyper armor swings that it's manageable. If I had enough (functioning) poise to get even 1 swing off I wouldn't just flat out be dead the moment one of them gets past my block. Maybe a better way to put it is it's much easier to die in infuriating ways to packs of regular dudes while poise is just disabled.

Melanion posted:So I stumbled into a way to trivialize Oceiros (perhaps just phase 2?) and gleefully abused it. Now I'm not sure which transposition my sorcerous self wants. Is it called having a shield?  I just went in as a sword and board rear end in a top hat and only had to use one estus (when I first encountered his breath attack).

It was worse than trying to summon on release night. Everyone needs help there so every sign gets snapped up with 0.00001 seconds of going down, but at the same time nobody wants to put down their sign because it's a really long fight and there's a 90% chance the host is gonna eat poo poo to the first combo and waste your time.

I was putting down my sign there yesterday in NG++, so I was SL165 ish I think. One time I observed both the host and the other phantom sit and hack at the feet while I was chopping it's beak off. E: Probably doesn't need to be said, but yes the host died to the very first combo he threw out in phase two. Hamburger Test fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Apr 27, 2016 |

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I mean, do you not? Hehe. Not on this level not at this point. No matter how obtuse From tends (or used to) be, I can't think of Poise, a stat spoken all through the game, in stat screens, in item descriptions (including a very important lore item, a shield)... is a system in place that affects those few couple of frames at the end of your roll. I can buy into the argument that they reuse a lot of their engines through their games, and that at one point they built from the DS1 system, and perhaps removed poise on purpose because they had other plans for it, but that doesn't really explain what ended up happening. If we didn't have the shield and the ring, I would be less skeptical, but it really seems like a flaw in communication or lack of time. It doesn't make any sense.

Go to Settings > In-Game, and over on the right you can set what folder you want your screenshots to be saved to. You can also choose to save an uncompressed copy since steam screens are mid-quality jpgs by default.

Lol, at 40 dex a non-scaling fire/magic/dark longsword outdamages a sharp-infused longsword. They should put a dex-warning in the loading screen somewhere.
