The most like the Forest is being a Bellkeeper yes. However, the bell zones are far more constrained than the forest, which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you liked about forest invasions.

Nothing is "broken" about the Brotherhood of Blood or the Blue Sentinels. They work just fine and even have access to their own duel arenas for easier PVP matchmaking. However, they both have an incredibly stupid element where it takes 500 wins each to max out the covenant ranks, and losses cause you to go down in total wins.

The Dragon covenant has a really easy time gettng duels now, because the zone with the covenant leader can be used to set up pvp matches, unlike in Dark Souls 1

The Rat covenant is this games Gravelords, except actually interesting and functional and satisfying. You basically have a choice between a small and compact and large and expnasive dungeon to be the dungeon keeper of, and its a one-on-one contest to see if they can kill you before they die to you and your traps and monsters.

You'll wish you could cheat once you realize what a pain in the rear end it is to get loving twinkling titanite and dragon bones. I'd rather kill dragons and clams all day everyday.

There needs to be a drat good story/lore reason why False King is back, since the actual King Allant is dead. Also no Maiden in Black around so there needs to be a good reason for Soulsucker to be back too.

You would think that. But they really don't. They could just you know...do it. I mean would it bother you that much? would the tears never cease running down your cheeks, looking for lore that's not there? wondering when the next 50 minute youtube video is...but it never comes. never

I wonder...did any of the datamined and hacked weapons feel particularly like they would come from a boss? Everything shown off so far seems to look like it comes from the regular enemies with no real crazy effects.

You'd probably get more mileage out of lightning crossbow bolts from an Avelyn overall as far as lighting themed ranged attacks go. Not as visually satisfying but what are ya gonna do.

Sunlight Blade is still worth using too

If you think DS1 pvp wasn't a mess even after AOTA i don't know what to tell you.

They changed a bunch of stuff, and made a completely different mess this time. That's about it.

Editor's Note: This isn't a claim that it isn't fun or whatever before someones tears manages to type out a post about how I'm wrong. Who loving cares.

Also I think the stat system has always been stupid. Having to put in like 10 points in a stat to get a 2 point damage increase past 50 stat points is ridiculous. Either cap damage stats at 50 or remove the soft and hard caps. At least that's my dumb opinion.

Well, Dark Souls 1 (maybe 2?) had that bug/framerate issue where the game would ignore your last few inputs and start doing them about 1 second or more afterwards to be fair. FROM patched it a few times but I don't remember them ever fully getting rid of it.

Listen this is just my opinion, but as long as someone doesn't hack themselves the ability to float in the sky and have infinite life, I could give a gently caress what they give themselves as long as it technically exists.

I mean someone spent 10 bux on Genocyber just because he hacked himself weapons that are neither OP and would be out in less than a week. The people in Dark Souls threads are way too crazy.

Two things about Wrathful Axe

The Wrathful Axe does indeed have Faith scaling, but its only a requirement for the special attack. Everything else is merely pure physical. If you're pure STR/DEX its one of the strongest halberds even with no investment in Faith at all, since imo the attack can be safely ignored because it takes too loving long and isn't as good as its Dark Souls 1 equivalent (Grant based Wrath of the Gods).

The explosion move requires Faith to use, but is purely dark element. This means that you must also put points into INT to increase its power, since dark scales off both stats. That said, its dark scaling is some of the worst in the game. At 50 Faith/50 INT it increases the power of the explosion by about 20. Not worth the points. If you wanna use the explosion, just level faith unless you just happen to also be some kind of Quality/Dark hybrid aka I'm gonna stack these levels baby!!!!!!

It had everything. Great DPS for PvE, good reach and wide hitboxes, relatively safe. They have since nerfed the overall damage but its still a very good weapon.

Which dialogue is it supposed to be, I can never remember which dialogue I have heard before

He congratulates you on "killing another creature" (most likely killing another Child of Dark???) and then he goes on a little bit about Manus and his children. He also quotes the opening of Dark Souls 1, so Vendrick probably knows the real history of the world.

I had never seen a black phantom drop anything in my whole time playing this game until one of the Prowlers in this DLC dropped something.

A lot of red phatoms have drop tables, its just really rare. For example, any Elite Knight red phantoms can drop any piece of the Elite Knight set at +5 upgrade level.

Majestic Sword Spin To Win is so good now that it actually hits twice unlike DS1 version. The DPS is through the roof and its definitely top 5 for moves in PVE. The super long range special jump still isn't that great again but the powerstance hyper flip jump is decent.
