Astora Straight Sword -> 322 AR at Raw +10.

Is this retarded or I'm missing something !?

Better! Youll find them in the better game.

So, 30-40 invasions in the last two days and about 75% were host +1 phantom, and summoning another.

I don't know how many times I ended up killing phantoms only for them to be resummoned. I got to the point where I would just BC instead of waiting for a group to gang rape me in the corner when I fucked up a roll timing.

Invasions are butts m80s, unless you find a fight club or are yourself invaded then you can get some decent pvpeepee.

The shitty range issues with weapons is also driving me nuts, multiple times I hit someone while they were too far or vice versa. I don't now if it's pure phantom range, net code issues, or both having a horrible interaction. But yeah, the spamming is getting too stronk for me. I had a joke character on DS2 named R1R1R1R1R1R1 that I'd dick around on and the fucking joke became reality m80s.

After, I went back to DS2 scholar and, bless the spergs, it's still active enough to get constant invasions. Games feel soooooooooooo different. I miss the slower stuff =(

good that this faggotary is gone

I think somehow people rolled less in Dark Souls 1 pvp. I tried fighting yesterday in the Kiln for an hour. The best fight was 2 invaders against 3. Somehow clear roles emerged and a good fight was had. But otherwise it's a rollfest and if you miss a hit and allow the guy to roll away he will get away with healing which just makes the fights tedious.

I assume the greatsword has hyperarmor and therefore can hopefully combo on a trade in PvP.

To answer your question: it's retarded.

 

[Elwro]

I think I'm gonna return to the Bloodborne expansion, which, frankly, I find to be quite hard. I hope they'll reintroduce poise properly some day in DS 3.

 

[Mozg]

Lots of rolls in DS1 would turn into getting 1-frame lagstabbed without any visual indication of why it happened, which can make you gunshy pretty quick.

A lot of it is just people getting the idea that in a game series where the fastest attacks have like a half a second of startup and rolls make you instantly invulnerable, it's almost impossible to hit someone 1v1 that doesn't care about anything but not getting hit.

Rolls in DS3 cost way less stamina in case you haven't noticed, even in DS2 they cost more.

 

[Murk]

Stamina in general is almost a non-issue in DS3. The only time I noticed it is when I emptied my bar and was 5% damage short of killing a guy only to realize I can't swing and he just chugs in the time it would take for me to recover for another swing.

Side note: your blood stain being where you died IN your invasion as opposed to where you invaded from is beyond infuriating.

 

[DramaticPopcorn]

I guess, the solution is pretty simple: git gud, don't die.

Yeah its stupid... But that UGS in particular has pretty nice scaling and gets over 500dmg on a quality built.
It does 480 on my Strength Built with refined and minimum dex.
Then again ~500 isnt that much for an ULTRA but its also stupid light, almost every other Ultra weight twice as
much with some bordering 3 times the weight (Fume weights over 3 times as much...).

You just cant have an Ultra that light do good damage.

1v1 me for exclusive rights to the patches squat you fegt

unrelated: caestus is new monscim and is very fun to fight against as people have that twitchy double-triple parry reaction, i see pepples trying a sick new strat with bare fist right hand and caestus left hand, to throw you off into thinking they are dual wielding, so when you swing they go for parry and toggle to big ass ugs on right hand for a hornet riposte

i appreciate the douchery and planning

 

[Eyestabber]

I get the feeling that this game is better enjoyed as a single player experience, since 95% of all complaints are MP related AND I'm very much enjoying my PvE.

My build is the most obvious and straightforward thing possible: sword and board knight. I'm using the starting gear with LKS replacing the longsword. I raised vigor and endurance to 20 and now I'm pumping Dex for some extra damage. Might go quality or dex.

It's also got some of the best int/faith scaling in the game, it's pretty clearly meant for an infusion build. Though such builds are garbage, honestly. But yeah, that's a pretty retarded sword to choose to compare with. If you're going to pick something to represent UGS, it'd obviously be the Greatsword.

 

[sullynathan]

I wonder, does it make more sense to do pvp as a mound maker to get the vertebrae shackles or to farm for them?

Ok, got a PS4 with Bloodborne and man, what a game. In a way it captures the qualities of the first game (DaS) much better then its successors. Yarhnam is gorgeous and has that same labyrinthine, coiling over itself- quality as Lordran. I can already see that it will stay in my mind after the game ends just like Lordran did (and Drangleic and Lothric didn't). Also, it's pretty tough too, what makes me think that my perceived easiness of DS3 is not just a function of my experience in the series and the game is really on the easy side.

 

[sullynathan]

BB is tough in that it expects you to play it in a specific way compared to other souls games.

 

[Elwro]

BB contains some brilliant ideas, and also a nice variation on the plot(s)-within-the-plot concept. For me it''s one of the best games ever.

But back to DS3. I'm pleased to see that NG+ offers new items in locations in which there was nothing previously. Also, killing the big knight who patrols the square in the first Lothric locator yielded a Blessed Gem, which I'm sure didn't happen in NG.

 

[sullynathan]

Man those Sullivan dogs have been the most difficult fights in NG+

I more or less finished it today, and I suggest you do so as well before singing its praises. In a way, it has the same problem as DS1, where the first half is really good, while what comes after doesn't live up to that high standard. I also found the game very easy after a short period of adjustment - keep in mind that the first area is effectively more difficult than anything else before endgame, basically. And when BB decides to get difficult, it mostly does so in rather cheap and extreme ways, in which it's similar to DS3. The base game (DLC is quite tough) at the very least, is by far the easiest Souls game I've played.

 

[Elwro]

But the chalice dungeons introduce new things. Have you explored them? They're also a unique for From games form of unifying NG with NG+(+).

R2 on big weapons especially charged does ton of damage same as weapon skills.
If you double hand UG it does more damage if you would double hand normal sword.
Then there is reach, infinite poise frames and type of attack.

Spamming R1 attacks while one handed doesn't make any sense with big weapons
