i used kb+m in ds2 mostly because of greatbow abuse while invading. in 3 invading isnt much fun and greatbow abuse isnt as powerful so i dont see much point in it.

SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:I can't believe people doing recognize dancer plate. That's really good armor for it's weight. I like my armor to look kind of practical, so I generally only wear armor that has a bunch of little pouches or cloth so that it kind of looks like it makes sense when I pull a javelin or huge flail out of thin air. I really like the Lorian armor, for example, but it has the same issue where it feels too videogamey or Diablo/WoW-like to just be some guy walking around in bare, extremely ornamented metal. Then again, I also enjoy running as close to naked with a Great Club, but that also fills like it fits thematically. Maleh-Vor fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Apr 17, 2017 |

Anyone well-versed in CE here? I'm wondering what the easiest/safest way to get a bleed-infused weapon onto a fresh character would be. I wanted to do a gimmick run with it but then I realized that you can't infuse bleed until you're at the end of Irithyll god drat Dungeon

you dont need to use CE to just get a bleed infused weapon. just ask a goon here to trade you one.

Ringed city DLC weapons are the new cancer. The weapon art on both the paired greatswords and the ring knight straight sword are insta kills, even after the patch. The straight sword uses the same weapon art as the boss of the first base game, where you get caught in a chain of flaming sword strikes. Ugh!

I'm pretty sure you can roll out of the straight sword weapon art. Regardless, it has a super slow start up and forces the user to walk in a slow stance. Its really obvious when they are gonna try and use it. So that's a good time to roll away and punish them with some long range attack if they commit to it. The paired greatswords are bullshit though. The phantom range on them is sickening.

A stupid exaggeration is a stupid exaggeration, whether or not you're making it to counter another stupid exaggeration.

I have to admit I like the idea that the "silent majority" argument is coming up in reference to Dark Souls 2 of all things. I think the "majority" of people in this case are playing other video games and not worrying about any of this garbage.

I know unlike DS1 there's actual cheat-detection that can ban you from online interaction. I just want to be able to dupe in 99 of any upgrade material I've already maxed a weapon out on, so I have more freedom to try out weapons without their numbers being insufficient.  I think spawning/duping upgrade mats is one of the things the game specifically looks for. At least according to this thing I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/opensouls3/comments/5gc9cb/softban_data_and_testing/ Also according to this thing I can apparently just spawn in an infused weapon, without having to worry about coals and gems and stuff. Neat! How effective are bleed-infused weapons anyway? Is there a sort of number I should aim for? I assume faster weapons = better simply because you'll apply the effect more often, but I wonder how far I can stretch that. It would be neat to do something different than the typical dagger/curved sword bleed stereotype, so I'm looking at potential weapons but the infusion numbers tell me nothing. I'm thinking something like the Winged Knight Twinaxes or the dual animu swords might be cool (never used either) but since I don't know what bleed numbers are good, I can't tell if they're actually viable.

For all the DS1 vs DS2 chat, I'm starting to come around to DS3 maybe being the best of the bunch. Am I crazy for thinking that 3 has by far the most really good boss fights? I think the boss visuals, music, mechanics, and difficulty are overall the best in the series. I've never cared about RAW rear end being Objectively Better than the longsword or given a poo poo about PvP at all

Its safe if youre very careful. The game seems to monitor certain stuff so just cheating all willynilly will get you banned if you dont revert your save. For example just cheating in 99 slabs will apparently get you marked because having 99 slabs on NG is impossible. Generally just using the item swapper to cheat in weapons and consumables you can drop and trade with people normally are all safe to cheat in. Anything that cant be traded or farmed at all from enemies are pretty dangerous to cheat in since the game might be monitoring the ammounts you have of them. You also have to disconect from the internet because the online part might be constantly checking if youre cheating too. You basically have to do all kinds of weird voo doo because people have just figured out what doesent get you banned but arent compleatly sure of everything that does get you banned.

The big secret is that each game is better at different things so your favorite comes down to personal preference. DS3 and Bloodborne definitely maintain a more consistently high standard of quality than the early games, owing to the growth in the series's popularity leading to better production value.

Sadly, there's no love for the Aquamarine dagger, which is a much more fun iteration on the extendo-weapon stance concept. I don't recall the ringed knight weapons letting you immediately combo into their weapon art strikes, whereas the aquamarine dagger absolutely lets you do that.

I think the boss visuals, music, mechanics, and difficulty are overall the best in the series. DS3, especially after the second DLC definitely has the most, best boss fights. I swear over half of my favorite fights in the series are from DS3. Pontiff, Champ, NK, last boss, Demon Prince, Midir, Gael. I think the only fights I actively dislike are Crystal Sage and Aldrich, although I'm not a huge fan of the gimmick bosses (they kinda feel like non-bosses for the most part). The music and aesthetics of pretty much every fight is ridiculously good. I don't like ranking things so I don't really have a "favorite" souls game, but I definitely think DS3 is great. It's just a shame it's so linear, but at least I can use CE to facilitate some fun gimmicks

Bloodborne has it beat in that respect.

After my first run I basically thought the game was pretty OK, then halfway through NG+ I was convinced it was the best ever. I think it rewards familiarity with the world a lot more than most other games in the series, and the occasionally insane difficulty curve makes NG+ a joy to run through again. Vordt was such a huge pain in the rear end the first time around, but then he's a total chump since by that point you've been through way worse.

I manage to land a zweihander weapon art, which only half works, then hilarious phantom range does me in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c7xjb4D1rI e: yes I get that I'm awful at pvp, but latency and phantom range certainly doesn't help. uncle w benefits fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Apr 17, 2017 |

If all fights are like that for you then yeah I get hating PvP, but I'd figure coop would be trash too. I've gotten summoned to laggy worlds and its miserable hitting enemies and not having the HP get subtracted for like 5 seconds. Playing with the PvE on a delay feels really wonky.

I've had my fair share of summons (me or others) getting stuck behind fog walls and/or mysteriously dying, but from what little co-op I've done it seems more stable. I rarely summon though, the online interactions that interests me are messages, ghosts and bloodstains  Also, summons are voluntary and aid you in something you were already doing solo, while invasions are involuntary and have the sole purpose of loving up your progress. Lag is clearly a bigger issue in the latter, to the point where the entire game mechanic is completely and utterly detrimental to my enjoyment of the game. I'm sure everyone can agree that RNG deaths shouldn't be a part of a Souls game, but here we are
