Maaaan, this has taken the winds out of my sails for a second run as a punch-man. I did a Glass Joe run in Dark Souls 2 (dual Caestus, Poise Ring, no armor except his trunks) and it was easily the most fun I ever had in a Dark Souls game.  I can't believe they went back to fist weapons being complete and utter garbage again. Like Kanos said, it's like they ignored almost all of the quality of life stuff Dark Souls 2/SotFS did.

Dazzling Addar posted:I heard a rumor (some soppy gossip, if you will) that when infused with bleed, the brigand twindaggers are the fastest at inflicting it in the game. I haven't tested it myself, but it doesn't seem too unreasonable. As general weapons they leave basically everything to be desired but heck, give it a try. The Bandit's Knife isn't a whole lot better. So, when you hit something 5-6 times you'll trigger Bleed, which takes off 40% of its health. Compared with other weapons which just kill monsters in a few hits. What the gently caress is even the point of bleed.

Toady posted:Some people refuse to believe that the boss-eating goo having weapons and spells from other bosses is anything more than a coincidence because it's not explicitly stated in an item description. Come on guys it's right in the item description. Miracle of Aldrich, Devourer of Gods. Steals HP of foes using an illusory scythe. Aldrich dreamt as he slowly devoured the God of the Darkmoon. In this dream, he perceived the form of a young, pale girl in hiding. Priscilla's version isn't a miracle. Aldrich's is because he literally dreamed it up. Gwyndolin knew about Priscilla and Yorshka, so Aldrich eventually did too. No doubt if you had not killed him he would have been off to eat Yorsh next.

il serpente cosmico posted:I get the feeling that DS2 would have been a much better game with, say, 6 months more development time. And also an editor. Same. I also feel this way about Bloodborne. And probably Dark Souls 3. Despite how good the games are and the improvements they've made, I feel like they've suffered for the yearly release schedule and could've been even better.

Slate Action posted:Wait, so it's true that Poise does literally nothing no matter how much of it you have? Why is it still in the game then? Going to go with "last minute ham fisted balance change for pvp concerns" because they basically just flipped a bit to turn it off. Just like the thread title - change that address to a 1 and it works as demoed in several videos at this point.

Mazerunner posted:no Here's the painting guardian set description though, "Attire of the Painting Guardians, whose forms are described in the mythology of heretics. The hunchbacked teller of ancient tales describes unwanted souls who are unwelcome across the lands, and are eventually drawn into a cold, painted world."

It's just a low-res copy paste of the Undead Settlement to make the world look more real, you can clearly see that it has the exact same layout/buildings as the Undead Settlement in the youtube video

Tallgeese posted:Would it help if I said that "Corvian" was originally "crow person"? Well, crows are Corvids and that type of naming is pretty typical fantasy fare  No one's trying to argue that the guys don't have black feathers, but there's plenty of bird/crow imagery in these games.e: what I mean is that they're pretty obviously "crow people". The Crow Demons are also a type of "crow person", but that's kinda where the similarities end.

One thing that makes determining descent in the game a little complicated is people can start looking like things just by really worshiping/involving themselves in those things. Oceiros for example, or maybe the corvians, if they're not just straight-up crow people descendants. The environment also takes its toll- I doubt the gargoyles in the Profaned Capitol originally had skulls for heads (wondering a bit what they're doing in the Grand Archives too though, outside of asset reuse). It might be that when Anor Londo was uprooted into Lothric, a few crow people were torn out of the Painted World. If you were torn out of that peaceful place with its kind inhabitants and thrust into the harsh reality of Souls, you would probably spend all your time wishing to go back too.

I'm rocking a lightning astora greatsword +10. People never seem to expect that the roll-into-attack will hit them, which usually allows for a free hit or two. Also hits like a truck since I have 40 faith (and that S scaling is p. neat).

Space Hamlet posted:Yeah, seems that way, though it's a really silly thing to do in the big "here's the view of all the stuff you're gonna explore" moment It could still be a stand-in for a village we'll go to in the DLC, since they could just update the layout once they've modeled the high-res version. Not many people would notice since it's tiny LOD models far off in the distance. I want to believe  (I'm just mad I can't play Bloodborne, give me a fishing hamlet or something in the DLC please)

Lmao just as I looted my 29th Proof of a Concord Kept (and had just gone ahead and levelled up to 125 with all the souls I'd gotten after giving up on staying at a reasonable level) I actually got summoned to defend a world and got like 4 of them at once. Thanks Dark Souls. Thark Souls.

Mechafunkzilla posted:So...is there any point to the Blood Gem at all when Carthus Rouge exists? There's no point to the blood gem when the hollow gem and carthus rouge exist in tandem. Infusing a weapon that inflicts bleed with a Hollow Gem has excellent synergy because luck is what dictates how quickly bleed is inflicted. Luck also boosts the attack rating on hollow weapons. So you end up with a decent attack power and a stupidly fast bleed build up. il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 08:36 on May 2, 2016 |

Catacombs of Carthus is the best for invading. I was inspired by that rolling ball and made the crusader knight from Indiana Jones. Chain helm, herald vest, iron leggins and mirrah chain gloves. Just standing at the bridge, trying to stop people from touching the grail. With Force. I just wish the game was optimized better. I've done a lot of control panel tweaking and the game still feels fragile. Last time my frame rate died because the host dropped prism stones. Like I had been banished by some ritual!

Man, big heavy slow weapons are god awful at low level pvp. Smash someone twice upside the head with a weapon that weighs more than their armor combined and do a third of their hp bar, maybe half of it with a parry, while they do basically the same damage swinging about a longsword or something similar.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I just learned that the black knights in Smouldering Lake aggro on sight when you're a purple invader. It happened several invasions in a row, but never when I invaded red, only purple. It's pretty useful for evening the numbers. You can kite them through the whole level since black knights never stop chasing. The two fire guys in the big room are strong enough to kill them though.

Sorry, I didn't really explain it well, but I bolded the quotes where the corvians are described in the same way as Priscilla, which definitely seems like an intentional link. They're described as unwanted/disgusting beings etc. which is exactly who the painted world was designed to hold.
