Babe Magnet posted:War of the Roses is dead as gently caress and no amount of estoc/darksword spamming and smough hackers will be as awful to deal with as helicopter vanguards I think thats Chivalry. War of the Roses was the mediocre Mount & Blade-style one. But you could aim your stabs through people's visors and stab them in the eyes and also the elbows and that owned.

I just feel like if I wanted to smack specific, clearly-defined weak points on a big boss, I'd go play Zelda. But also now I understand why you dislike Bloodborne so much: it pretty much codified the switch to most bosses being action/reflex-based fights instead of setpiece encounters with specific weak points. (Also, Wolnir has weak points, too. Or did you forget him because the fight's over in like 20 seconds?)

People will argue to death that the Souls games are about multiplayer, even if they're the most solid single-player games ever made. Since Souls PvP has become A Thing™ that people care about, Fromsoft is balancing the game with it in mind and it runs into the same problem as every single MMO ever where a PvP-related change fucks over PvE'ers and a PvE-related change fucks over PvP'ers. e: worst part is that Souls PvP would be really awesome if it actually worked right (for example, it's unplayable for me due to lag. Probably related to geographical location), so I kinda wish Fromsoft would just release Dark Souls: Arena where it was all PvP all the time, with working netcode.

I do miss encounters like 2-3 dragon king where the entire boss is more of a puzzle / environment hazard rather than just an upscaled enemy model with more health and more damage. I know ancient wyvern and wolnir exist, but I'd like for there to be more alternate ways to complete more of the bosses. like sure, if you just want to sword and board or shoot pew pew magic then fine you can do that, but it'd be nice if more bosses also had environment stuff or hidden specific weaknesses or whatever that you could use that would also change up the fight. also pvp bosses like 3-3 mad monk absolutely need to be in the DLC.

obviously as the cycles of fire and dark reach a saturation point where they occur so often that the disparity between them shrinks to almost nothing, the world begins to return to a primal state. archtrees begin to grow from every living thing and the ordained-to-die-and-be-reborn pilgrims of londor begin the arduous process of becoming undying stone dragons

Darkmoon Blade is basically a vanity spell. Then again, if you're committed to getting every achievement, you're gonna need Darkmoon Blade I guess

RBA Starblade posted:Does Hollow infusion completely remove str/dex scaling? Hollow dampens STR/DEX scaling and adds LCK scaling based on your current Hollowing level. It also gives you up to +5 Luck.

Just grab a weapon with innate bleed, make it Hollow, and use Carthus Rouge, everything that can bleed will bleed out in record time. I think I'm going to make a Dex/Luck bleed build with an Assassin. 40 Dex/40 Luck, Hollow Carthus Curved Sword. At SL 120 that leaves plenty of room for Vigor and Endurance, too.

Is there a single way to punish people who roll+l1 with the gotterd twinswords when you have a shield and straightsword? Because it looks literally instantaneous and he's mostly in i-frames until he feels like stabbing me at which point he is unpunishable. Either I eat the stamina damage to the shield and he rolls away before I can punish or I get the full damage by trying to ever hit him. The only licks I got in were before he decided this was the only move required to win. I have the spider shield so parrying at this point in time was not an option.

A blue-white phantom is a Blade of the Darkmoon, probably summoned in to help when you invaded them. As to why you couldn't lock on, that I have no idea.

It's blue/black and not blue/white but this post gave me an idea. What if we had a spell that gave us Pontiff's phase 2 clone? Like, you cast the spell and for a certain # of seconds you'll have a shadow that'll mimic your moves delayed by a second or w/e.

Now I really want to do a Dex/Luck bleed build. Start as a Warrior (somehow 5 entire levels better for this than a Thief?), 40 Dex, 40 Luck, 35 Vigor, 30 Endurance. Carthus Curved Sword, make it Hollow which apparently retains C Dex scaling, buff with Carthus Rouge, murder everyone.
