I am a bad person thread, I need to confess. I have played every souls game a bunch, and I still don't give a gently caress about fashion souls at all. Clownsuit 4 life.

The gas attack is there to give you enough time to one-combo the jailer before it can do anything else.

Malek Deneith posted:Re: Dark Sword discussion. Again, been using Dark Sword through NG. Switched to Carthus Curved Sword for NG+. What I got has miniscule (~13 on a 40/35 build currently) amount less AR and worse weapon art but gets bleed and a better R2, and feel pretty identical in other regards. Yet Dark Sword gets all the hate and overusage, but I hardly see CCS and nobody complains about it. It's hilarious. For the same damage the CCS weighs more, takes more stats, has worse scaling, and does slashing damage. It probably does less poise damage, too. It's definitely not a direct upgrade.

Megaflare posted:This is the difference. @up - don't see an issue with slashing damage, other than thrust having benefits on counters the physical types seem to work all pretty well. And dork sword only has thrust on what, roll attacks? For scaling, again, the AR difference is minor. As for weight yes that 1 point more is going to be so hard to fit, lol. Regardless I didn't say it's an upgrade, but that it's a pretty compareable weapon in terms of performance. Malek Deneith fucked around with this message at 21:51 on May 4, 2016 |

Do invaders see neutral phantoms? Like the ghosts of other players nearby but aren't in your own game. I honestly can't remember from my time invading. A friend of mine is going to spooky-ghost it up if they get invaded.

If I just want to be a huge rear end in a top hat with the Estoc will it do more damage raw + buffed or with a sharp or refined build? I somehow still haven't used it at all but I fancy making a build specifically designed around the Leo ring and it seems to be hands down the best weapon for it.

Harrow posted:Well, no, it's not that it's impossible to change the code. It's that altering the speed at which you can drink Estus would have a serious effect on PvE balance, where some bosses can already punish Estus well enough (hi, Nameless King!) that you have to time your sips carefully not to get owned. Slowing down Estus drinking would make it effectively impossible to heal during some fights, which isn't good. They should take a modified page from Bloodline Champions and make it so player vs. player damage (or some percentage of it) is indicated by a different color on your health bar and can't be healed. Or if that's still too harsh you can play around with this and make it "only for a certain amount of time" or "healable, but at a vastly less efficient rate," etc. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 22:06 on May 4, 2016 |

Just started up with a Pyromancer and Fire Gem. I'm not quite feeling the axe, and was thinking maybe going for a dex build since that would also reduce cast time as well, with just enough strength to use some of the polearm weapons/scythe. Am I on the wrong track for a pyro build?

Just Offscreen posted:Oddly enough, I actually got and was using the Dark Sword before I read anything about it- I switched back to the Halberd once I found out. Yeah, because it looks cool and you pried it from the cold, dead hands of a skeleman. Why did you switch? No judgement, just interested in your reason.

turtlecrunch posted:That's just because the same character archetypes are used over and over and over again. There's a difference between character archetypes and having two characters that share everything except some aspects of personality. Karla is just straight up Yuria the Witch with the exception that she's cool with dark and evil magic instead of being ashamed and afraid. Your Computer posted:My first impression of this game was "oh wow, they've made Demon's Souls 2 in Bloodborne's engine and called it Dark Souls 3". The game has so many areas and little things that feel very Demon's Souls, much more so than DS1 (or 2). This exactly. They kept with the interconnected world that they've been doing since DkS1 but honestly it felt like Demon's Souls in terms of everything area being fairly unique, visually and design-wise. Hell, Firelink is straight up the Nexus once you think about it.
Even the games area progression feels fairly similar in places with the most obvious parallel being Lothric Castle/Boletarian Palace. You start at the bottom, advance to a point, come back after plot events, and depending on how much of the game you want to complete you can either come back later or go right on through to the end. I only really started to heavily put together all of it when I finished the game and saw that the ending I got was literally the same thing you do in DeS's "bad" ending, even including stomping on the Firekeepers face like what happens to the Maiden in Black I really hope we get a proper sequel to DeS but honestly if we don't, then that's what Dark Souls 3 is to me. I'll just tell myself that everyone is turning in to tree things thanks to the Great Old One. HnK416 fucked around with this message at 22:36 on May 4, 2016 |

IronicDongz posted:fire gem is trash It would be fun to have some spare fire axes on principle, but, well, nearly every axe is one per NG if you don't consider classes starting with one, particularly if you want to make matching sets "Okay, I'll keep this brigand axe able to be buffed. And then I'll put a Chaos infusion on my other brigand...poo poo."

I have beaten beaten Dancer. I just found out about Sirris and already had her as far as waiting for me on Irythill bridge. I helped her out, spoke to her at Firelink, and went to the edge of where I fought the Greatwood boss. No summon sign there. Thoughts? Did I screw something up? Where EXACTLY should it be? [ed] NM. Had to reload area a second time. Feenix fucked around with this message at 22:34 on May 4, 2016 |

I made a new character and was finally summoned as a blue spirit to another world (!) but what I zoned into seemed incredibly strange. I popped into the undead settlement, near the bonfire you pass when you find Cornyx, but everything seemed so much brighter than usual. The ground seemed a little paler and cliff rocks seemed unusually light. There was also some kind of spooky ambient sound effect going on at the same time. Does something go on in that zone that I've just happened to miss every time I've been there?

Speaking of which, Greirat died for me again  How the gently caress does he survive Irthyll? I did all of the following; -Gave Sig his armour -Sent Greirat to Irthyll -Talked to Sig in the kitchen before going to the dungeon bonfire I thought that would work but he still died to the spiders. EDIT: And now the Shrine Maiden is making fun of me because I keep getting people killed

This thread moves way to fast for me to keep up, but i gotta say its awesome playing a souls game with lots of people playing it, i put down a soap stone sign and someone is summoning me for help before I even walk away. So i saved up and bought the tower key and found the fire keeper soul . should i just immediately give it to the fire keeper at the shrine bonfire, or would there be any reason to wait?

Karla is just straight up Yuria the Witch with the exception that she's cool with dark and evil magic instead of being ashamed and afraid. I don't think we're disagreeing on anything... When you have characters that share most of their traits except for a few tweaks, those are two variations of an archetype. Said archetype in this case being "advanced magic trainer that hates herself and wears spooky clothes and is probably voiced by Jenny Funnell".

You must kill Pontiff after talking to Sieg in the kitchen for Greirat to come back. e: without going toward the dungeon e2: you do not have to talk to Sieg before sending Greirat, I sent Greirat and got to the kitchen and realized I had forgotten to get Sieg out of the well, so I went back and did that, returned to the kitchen, talked, killed Pontiff, and Greirat came back
