The third DLC will let you play as the last surviving mushroom person and get revenge on the Ghru that slaughtered your family.

Because I was having fun. Not every invasion needs to be a xXxMLGxXX roflstomp for me to enjoy it. When I invade someone with an interesting gimmick I try to stick around just to see what will happen.

The update certainly put a crimp on my plans for a Liberace-themed character with Cleric's Candlestick in the right hand and Scholar's Candlestick in the other, and Evangelist's Robes for the armor.

Anyone noticed that you hit twice every swing with a greataxe (both Greataxe and Yhorm's Great Machete) to Lord of Cinder boss? I've been sunbroing that fight for medals and no other weapon I used (greathammers or halberds) did that.

I killed him first try with the +5 dragonslayer greataxe while I was drunk as gently caress and I am not particularly skilled. If I got an unfair advantage that might explain it.

redreader posted:Lol. I'm in Anor londo. I killed the pontiff and walked through the level for about 10 minutes before a silver knight archer shot me off a ledge. No invasions. I didn't even see any red fight club signs or anything. Not a single sign. The place is dead around level 30. Time to level the gently caress up! I'm level 60 and get fight club signs outside the pontiff bonfire and when I dared to go human for a moment got immediately invaded near the archers. Someone please tell me that run past the silver knights with greatbows is the hardest part of the game because it took me over an hour last night to get past it

Casting hidden body and the spell that makes you silent lets you run right up to them and backstab them, usually pushing them off the building.

redreader posted:After getting 30 invasions for wolf of farron, I switched from the +2 (for invading in the swamp) raw bandit's axe to the carthus curved sword. Holy gently caress, it's turned the game into easy mode. I haven't done any invasions with it though but drat, everyone is going down hard to me now. this is my second run the game, it's easier than the first so far but once I got the carthus curved sword it's ridiculous. I had it at+4 at first (the equivalent of +2 raw) and now it's levelled to +5, I think that'll be best for invasions, keeping the level low. I'm also avoiding levelling so I'm at 30 right now. I went through the catacombs and the smouldering lake (demon king and wolnir went down first try) and also got to the chapel bonfire in irithyll first try, even with killing all the mobs in between. On my first run I had to just run past everyone. Yeah I find it funny they didn't touch the CCS, it was more OP than the dark sword even before the nerf. It's a fun weapon but I start to feel bad using it in pvp because it seems too good.

Mostly you just need the Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring to let you sneak up on them, they don't have eyes in the back of their heads. The SD and Cloranthy rings only come off my fingers for very pressing reasons while PvEing.

Killed Wolnir, the Deacons and the Watchers, decided to sequence break a little bit because I really want the goddamned Dragonslayer Spear asap since I'm running a faith build. Dancer wasn't too bad with some summoned buddies, but now I'm wrangling with Ocerios, which is giving me a little trouble since there's rarely anyone available for co-op there. I might bounce back to Rosaria and respec so I can dump all the points I put into faith into STR and DEX so I can hit harder with my refined broadsword, as the 27 points I've got in faith right now aren't helping much.

Using a 100-block shield works surprisingly well against Oceiros. It doesn't need to be anything special, the Silver Eagle Kite Shield works just fine. His attacks may break your guard but he almost never has a followup if they do so you can just tank him with the shield and wait for an opening.

Using a shield definitely makes a huge difference against dragonbabby, since he has that one attack with basically no windup and a hitbox of half the room that he loves to do out of nowhere. If you're not waiting for stamina to come back just keep the shield raised.

Tallgeese posted:Dark Souls 3 basically removed poise as a consideration for most people, added weapon arts, but other than that is basically DS1 2.0 mechanically. Only if you've spent the last year playing Bloodborne.

"DS1 with new stuff bolted on" is obviously going to be more different than DS1->DS2 for obvious reasons. Going backwards with a side trip to Albuquerque is not exactly an improvement to me, but people who REALLY hated DS2 would disagree!

If they threw out a ton of dark souls 2 for dark souls 3, I really doubt there's much dark souls 2 code in bloodborne considering it came out sooner and was partly in development at the same time as 2. God bless the B team.

Vakal posted:The third DLC will let you play as the last surviving mushroom person and get revenge on the Ghru that slaughtered your family.  SECRET DLC SPOILERS AHEAD If you go into NG+ and kill Aldrich without taking any damage, then you receive the Pendant (aka the same Pendant that was a starting item in Dark Souls 1). In the Fall DLC, you'll be able to import a DS1 character if that character has a Pendant in its inventory. This will cause the DS3 pendant to become a usable item that dumps you into a fully playable version of the original Max Payne, but with Max Payne re-skinned as a mushroom person and all of the other characters re-skinned as Ghru. Completing this unlocks standard Poise for your DS3 character.

I'm not even sure about that. To me it seems like DS3 has a lot more in common with DS2 than DS2 had in common with DS1. Consider these points:
Could probably come up with more, but haven't recently replayed DS1 and DS2 after beating DS3, I definitely feel like DS2 is more similar to 3 than to 1. Also, I've never played Bloodborne, and probably never will

QuarkJets posted:[*]DS3 Weapon arts are an evolution of the Power Stance system in DS2. I wish, most of the weapon arts are just the boring short buffs and if they're not that, they're the stance with the same moves for whatever for the most part.

NGDBSS posted:DS3's dual wielding is more likely a modification of Bloodborne code, since a few weapons in the latter had dedicated dual weapon movesets. In addition, DS2 had a distinct moveset for all weapons when held in the left hand (or so Tallgeese has said, and if there's anyone I trust on the internal workings of the Dark Souls games it's him), which DS3 visibly doesn't. No Majestic Greatsword for you. Basically, everything a given weapon could do in DS2 when held in the right hand, left hand, two-handed, and when powerstanced was all laid out in each weapon's complete moveset. This is why when I dual-wielded Keyblades, I had so many moves. I set my left-handed key to do rapier attacks while my right-handed key did others. When I powerstanced them together, my entire moveset changed, because DS2 was programmed with that possibility in mind. Neither DS1 or 3 can do this. They both operate by going: "OK, it's a curved sword, use curved sword moveset. Also, assign a Moveset Override ID. This ID means replace moves XYZ with these special versions." In DS1, Quelaag's Furysword had the basic curved sword moveset defined, but then they overwrote the whole thing with a separate moveset just for the flame trail. I don't think I need to tell you how much more sane the DS2 approach is. Tallgeese fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Jul 5, 2016 |

I never got the hate for DS2. I've always thought that it was the best game in the series (especially SotFS), just barely edging out DeS. DS3 takes so many steps backwards from DS2 in so many areas that I can't help but wonder if it's a matter of pride, like the A-team refuses to acknowledge that the B-team actually improved upon their game, so they decided to ignore those improvements.

Be careful if you're playing this on PC. A couple of people are reporting that hackers have been invading as Aldrich Faithful. The hackers then somehow kill Aldrich, so the host can't be invaded in that area anymore.

I didn't feel any need to do another back to back run because of the I'm sure discussed to death dearth of options due to progression layout, but I could do some dumb clusterfuck PvP.

I was invading as Wolf Watchdog covenant last night, and I think it is my favorite invasion. Too bad it is only really active around level 15 to 25. I just love how crazy the fighting gets with two or three friendly phantoms facing off against a single invader, but if the fight drags on, another Watchdog will invade. And then npc Yellowfinger Heysel invades. And then a crab swoops in and smashes everyone. Good times. I have given up on being a ninja build and now try being as heavily armored as possible before hitting 100% burden. While the run animation changes at higher burden, the speed remains the same. Also fat roll still funniest roll. Just being a beefy son of a bitch than can hyperarmor through any hits works a lot better for me.

Let me put it this way. For many people, the joy in Dark Souls is the joy of discovery. Right? The problem is, there just isn't a lot of that in DS3 at all. A PVP meta was more or less figured out before the game was even released to the general public. In terms of how stuff worked, DS1 stuff took awhile to figure out after it was first released on PC. However, since DS3 is extremely similar, there's not much to figure out except for nuPoise.
