Xanderkish posted:Man, I saw a video on Facebook a while back of some guy who had a summon do most of the killing of a boss, and there were people posting on their calling him a pussy and a retard for letting the summoned guy do most of the damage. People care way too much about this game, sometimes. I wouldn't directly attack someone for that, but I would think he was a jerk for not pulling his weight. When I summon a player I greet them, make sure we're all ready for the fog door, and even tank for them if they're taking too much heat from the boss and can't heal, or toss a I'M SORRY at them if I die and bump into each other again. If he is just standing there like a goof while the summon is doing all the work (unless it's Tarkus) then you're just an rear end in a top hat who doesn't understand the concept teamwork and being a polite host.

When I get summoned I actually would like the host to play defensively, since if he dies I don't get poo poo anyway, but if I die, he can probably finish the boss off.

Nothing worse than getting summoned and just having the host die quickly. If I get summoned, I'm pretty much working under the assumption that summoner is struggling with the boss and basically just need someone else to come kill it for them. That's more or less why I summoned when I first played, so it's my default expectation for getting summoned.

Yeah, when you're fighting a boss with buddies, the best way to go about it is to have someone baiting the boss and the others attacking it while it's distracted. One of the summons should do the baiting since it's more dangerous and if they gently caress it up and die, it doesn't screw the whole team out of the win. Summoning a buddy is fun, even if you're good enough to tackle the area by yourself. It's that jolly co-op thing that people talk about.

When I summon someone, I immediately throw myself off a cliff if I see them attacking an enemy. Or if I have to attack an enemy. Pull your own weight/stop stealing all my kills you jackass/dude.

I got summoned to a dark souls 3 boss yesterday and noticed the host hosed off and sat down away from the combat, letting me and 2 other sommons do all the work. I did the honorable thing and lured the boss over to him, killing him in one brutal combo. I'm a good sunbro.

Eh, it's frustrating when the host dies, but personally I don't mind so much so long as the summons are helpful and/or hilarious. I was after a bit of help to get through one particularly difficult non-boss encounter in heide and summoned a guy called One Punch Man, who lived up to his name so well that we nuked most of the area and a boss in record time, too. I ended up in his game much later on as an invader and was planning on just giving him an item and leaving, but as I was rifling through my inventory he sucker-punched me to death in a single combo

Best series, worst community. Though anything is immediately 100% more enjoyable without involving Twitch, or anyone in Twitch chat.

Somewhere in my head, because of that weird screw elevator, the Darkmoon tomb is located beneath the painting gallery rather than directly beneath the cathedral, but it is beneath the cathedral, and this sort of thing helps reinforce that. This thing is neat.

Squint posted:Screaming fruitlessly at a monitor is fine, so far as this goes. As long as you don't take it to YouTube comments like so many folks do. I frankly don't think there really is a way to play it wrong. But some things will trigger me anyway. Over and over again. I don't even know why. Maybe because I played each Souls game a lot and there's things I just do or do not do to an extent where it's second nature. Thankfully, I was never the type of guy who wrote comments about it or anything like that. Even when someone is physically in the room with me playing the game I merely scream internally. It still feels bad to know I could be that dick at some point, if things go awry. I will now look at this Human Effigy to remember who I truly am. Just chill little Iggy, yeah...heheh

I am glad that I've never played a Dark Souls game so I can watch people play them and be bad at them with no self damage to myself. Of course, I get that when people are just bad at the game they're playing in general instead. How do you get your rear end kicked in a Batman game? It's two buttons and you aim the stick towards someone, that's it.

The beginning of DS2 is balls hard compared to 1. You could run down to the graveyard and pick up a decent shield, a spear and the mothafukkin Zweihander 30 seconds after you hit Firelink. It seems like FROM intentionally prevented that kind of thing this time, so it takes a lot longer to find decent gear and to get the stats to use them.

We'll shortly get access to weapons that can easily carry you for the entire game. Actual good shields are kinda thin on the ground, but there's one in Heide's now, and a couple in FoFG that work nicely for the time being.

Oh hey, since we saw the video, I suppose it's time to bring up that one thing a lot of people will notice in Dark Souls 2 is that the game has a habit of throwing a poo poo-ton of guys at you. Sometimes having them attack you en-masse, but other times just tossing one after the other at you. Just in this first section we killed, oh, around ten to fifteen guys? Including a part that was essentially just a large arena with a bunch of them literally lying around? Just for perspective, in the distance between the Firelink Shrine in DS1 and the first bonfire in Undead Burg, there were about (and I'm going from memory here) 10 enemies total that were on the direct path between you and the bonfire, and they were all pretty generously spaced out, and given variety in the weapons used, their placement, the strategies they used, and the overall visual organization. One part had you fighting two guys up a slope while another chucked firebombs, another had you fighting against one guy only for another to try to flank you from the side, and another had you fighting enemies hiding behind barriers while another plinked at you with a crossbow. In contrast, so far, we fought against about four or five in the lower area of this region, with one of them shooting arrows but the rest just straight-up hacking and slashing, and then the big arena with a rinse-repeat section of waking up a dude, then beating the poo poo out of him. And we haven't even come across another bonfire. And some of these guys you can avoid, and others you can do the tried-and-true method of running like hell past them, but it's still exhausting, and only really made unintrusive with the addition of summons. Which will also be a recurring problem in the game.
