should've parried the boulder
lol
i miss the murakumo and the ds3 greatmace. all the eldog equivalents suck
>>483491249they really think that's the problem for people and not how cringe the enemies are to fight compared to other games or even ER base game
>>483490974fucking kek
>>483491408greatmace had the more boring moveset everisn't the eldog kirkhammer thing extremely similar
>>483491249I'm at shad level 16, where do I find more of these things? Phase 2 johnny radahn's gelgoog: high mobility type is filtering me, I just need to pump my numbers a bit more.
>>483491910>johnny radahn googlol
>>483491863yeah the moveset wasn't great but it was a sexy ass weapon nonetheless. do you mean the giant crusher? i think it's ugly
>>483491569It is the problem. Once you get enough of these things most of the bosses are trivial just because of the stats.
has anyone done the math on exactly how much damage taken/dealt is changed per skibidi upgrade?
>>483492486apparently 0.95x/1.05x
Finally done with the DLC.What is the most fun area to gank people?Also has anyone found any fun meme builds?
>>483493213i like thiolliers needle :3
So far, Belurat feels very Dark Souls-esque, I like it. But I'm killing the enemies pretty easily, and I'm finding a lot of 4 and 5 smithing stones. Maybe I'm over-leveled for this area?
been more than a decade and i'm still upset that we didn't get what could've beendark souls 1 was the ultimate roleplaying game. each next entry was a downgrade in some form, demaster includedwhere are the covenants? they were so cool in ds1 and their rewards would get stronger if you stayed loyal to them, adding to the roleplay aspect. why can't invaders invade up to max level to make it more risky instead of guaranteed ganks? that would be a good incentive to level up higher instead of twinking. why no OP overleveled darkmoons to punish invaders in their own worlds, wouldn't it feel good for scrubs who got their shit pushed in to return later and start fucking up invaders? why no gravelord equivalent?those mechanics are what made the game truly feel alive and unique (when they worked), instead of making them more functional they introduced more and more limitations and less and less nuancehell i'm pretty sure shit like this is completely impossible in ER due to its world and level design https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WM4jzbobH0
Nice tower, I'll be taking it.
anyone have that image (or series of images?) that includes all the cut/changed content from Dark Souls 3? Wanted to show a friend.
>>483495193>cut content from Dark Souls 3here you go
>>483494737>why can't invaders invade up to max level to make it more risky instead of guaranteed ganks?youve never invaded have you
>>483495835wrong reply>>483494737no they just throw around every kind of smithing stone
>>483495193might be a dead linkhttps://imgur.com/a/yEcES
>>483495193sigh
>>483495835i have, in ptdemade a low level character, would sometimes get thrown into the world of a guy 100+ levels higher than minei knew what i was getting into, so i never thought it was a bad thingjust like i don't think it's a bad thing to have super overleveled cops beating the shit out of you at your own home with maxed out magadjust darkmoon blade buffs if you've done enough bad shit to other playersthese things are both good incentives to be higher level to stand a better chancebut more importantly, it's more immersive because the world is not a fair place
So do you have to summon the NPCs to fulfill their quests?
claymore, my beloved
>>483496809I was just thinking about that this very minute. Are we in sync? Do you like Dark Souls 2 more than Dark Souls 1?
>>483497004>Do you like Dark Souls 2 more than Dark Souls 1?no, but i do love ds2 a great deal. i think it's my second favorite after ds1
okay i made some bad rp bills... time to make more and try out the new spells
>>483497176Acceptable, may your claymore serve you well.
>>483495923objectively correct reply*
>>483496607no one wants to invade sl302s
>>483498064wrong reply as in "replied to wrong person"also the * goes at the beginning of a correction
>>483498598well nowadays no one wants to be invaded in general aside from gank squads don't complain when they remove invasions altogether in their next gamealthough the way things are going i don't even care what their next rpg is like
are there any int fth weapons aside from fucking magic fth weapons or fucking magic/sacred/flameart smithscript... fuck
>>483498738no I didn't and no it doesn't>>483499096>well nowadays no one wants to be invaded in generalyeah those are called shittersnot wanting to invade sl302s doesn't make you a shitter it makes you not a degenerate
>>483500003rellana's twin swordsfinger (really scuffed scaling)madness weapons kinda>>483500112yes it does... go look it up
>>483500348dont care didnt ask
>>483500490100 esl points have been deposited into your account
>>483500348this shit is so fucked lmao... i'll test out the madness fists to see if they're okay on int/fth otherwise im going back to fucking sonaf with smithscript throwing discs as a back up or the black knight greathammie
>>483500843ran some numbers and while rellanas are better on qual, the damage for int/fth is still solid and i think the weapon art hits a lot harder.all the madness stuff is evil and the hand wa instaprocs and even the torch procs too fast on the wamadness perfume rolling sparks does like a trillion damage
>>483501047yeah i was going to say they're better qual because the physical dmg portion scales better with those two stats... and i'm not big on spamming ashes. I'll just throw it on the build I guess just in case. >rolling sparksI'm not too keen on using it to nuke shit desu.Honestly I wanted my madness bill and int/fth bill to be two different things, but if I can't find anything better I'll have to slap the madness hands on there.
>>483500793double it and give it to the next guy
>>483501272madness builds are just faith or faith/arc builds...>>483501767quadruple it and give it to the next guy
>>483492486some youtuber said for every 2 it can translate to a 25% difference in power but im unsure how retarded he is
>>483501845i decided to use magic smithscript cirques and rellana sworns lolalso t he putrescent spells r cool
>>483504238
pmask be like: yeah that was dogshit... time to do that for another 1000 hours
>>483504717Coop is so much more fun than 'vading. Spamming spells with your bros as unskilled (bad) red man panic rolls will never get old.
i wonder what swift slash ganks are going to look like
pmask really do be out here sissyphusmaxxing
i love how mike directly attacks my fps with his magic spam...
>>483513905>>483513905who tf is mike you talking about me nigga?
mike from elden ring
dark souls is an indie game about depression but made by a big studio if you think about it
>>483514965ill show you depression of the airways faggot
>>483514965no that's fear and hunger 1
it's made by some random nigga using rpgmaker tho
>>483515552that's what indie game means nigga
>>483515828it's not a big studio THOUGH
radahn 2 blows. wouldn't be the worst if not for that dumb fag miquella spamming six trillion light beams and obscuring my vision
I'm going to ruin my blind playthrough and look up a video how to dodge final boss phase 2 attacks, I'm too brainlet to figure this shit out
Elden Ring's DLC would be better without that shitty scadutree fragment mechanic (boy i sure do love padding)
First phase is kino. Miguel A then proceeds to drop your frames and gives radahn some glitchy looking meme moves. It's Kinogon to shitden beast all over again.
>>483517513Bro just respec to impenetrable thorns build.
>>483518310does he have the same tornado attacks as the lions? those dropped my frames to 5
just made the roachbill
>>483518090scadutri di proscuitto
jee just declared that 150 is the meta for the dlc... it's over.
>>483520143how is it over you can just go up
>>483520810because he went over.
>>483520143hmmm proofs?
>I need a couple more int and faith and I don't want to wear any hats so I need 25 more levelsEven legends fall.
I'm a shitter and never got good at bloodborne, cheevo percent is 3. Accept I'm a shitter or git gud try to hammer my head against it?
>>483523450if you own a console you will always be a shitter
>>483523521Didn't think pcfats was still butthurt about the game
>>483523450what r u having trouble with in bloodborne? if you can play ds3 and elden ring you can play bb.
>>483524779This is going to sound bad, BB was the first from souls I ever brought. Got filtered so bad I never touched another. Closest would be Let It Die
please please please please PLEASE buff the poise damage on light greatswords
So let me get this straight:The fingers are cosmic parasites that grow by basically consuming people from the inside out, they come from a mother ayylmao who manipulated marika, and the finger moniker stems from people's incapability to comprehend what the fuck they're looking at.Also the thing's face looks likd the black flame seal because why not.
>>483525726who cares redditor
>>483525118you should try it again some day, maybe you'll like it>>483525903i asked i care.but i also dont know anything about elden ring lore, so /erg/ or /v/ might be a better choice .>>483525425uhhhnyo
>>483526243no u didn't*piurs water on u*
the putrescent knight gayaxe is one of the funniest weapons in the dlc... i liek it
>cragblade on the milady if I want it to do actual poise damage>can no longer use a weapon art
you dont rly need a weaponart with it
Just finished erdtree and while I liked a couple bosses I just feel no desire to play more elden ring. The older games are just so much better, even on the most basic level like input buffering and delay. ER feels so awful to play sometimes
>>483528136Why does it feel awful? >input bufferingMore like inputeating fucking loathsome inputeater miyazaki :(
>>483528652>Why does it feel awful?I don't like open world or crafting elements or tryhard minmaxing my build. Don't get me wrong it's not like I enjoy playing 10 vig 99 str, but the amount of buffing and optimizing you can do in elden ring is ridiculous and the DLC is clearly tuned around it.I feel bosses are much less well designed and aren't very intuitive. Which direction you roll, whether to jump or not, what you can parry or block, are all so arbitrary and amount to trial and effort more than anything well defined and based on a set of "rules". Hitboxes in general suck really bad, and like I said before input queuing/delay is the worst of the series by far
>>483529190>don't like open worldme too desu.>craftingI like the idea of crafting, but I hate actually wandering around to get the stuff I need :\>dlc tuned around buffing, optimizingyeah... maybe they're going to patch the game soon and decrease the damage ppl take, cuz it seems to be a pretty common complaint and it makes the game not as fun sometimes. >boss designI can't rly make any big judgments about this, but i like them visually at least and I had an okay time fighting most of them. Okay wait, fuck final boss phase 2, absolute dogshit. >amounts to trial and errorfeel like it has been that way since the beginning really, but back then bosses didn't have as many crazy combos. >hitboxesI thought they were fine? Aside from still not figuring out how to dodge gaius charge lol. >inputqueungI haven't had a huge issue with it, but I think I got used to it. The game is just dropping inputs a ton for me, which sucks ass.
terra magica yeet hammer...
serpent flail is kino... actually half decent running r2 cuz of the yemba>>483530093more like terra magica whiff hammer lol!!!
>>483530164instablees you with crow quills 2.0
>>483529995it's not the damage that's the problem it's the fact the enemies never stop attacking AND never stop moving, it's so autistic trying to chase them down. I can't imagine how bad it is without having someone take aggro, it's bad enough with only 2 people.
>first boss is a lion>final boss is a lionbravo Miyazaki
>>483530282that acutally makes me so pissed lmao FUCK i hope the blee on the ash gets nerfed so i can have fun with it in pvp and not feel bad when it instableeprocs someone... maybe i should use that cool little dead fly talisman that gives u an immune system so its harder to proc statuses on u again WITH the fuckingg +2 blee hornfucking stupid ass zaki>>483530330Oh yeah the hornsent warriors just don't fucking stop attacking its so fucking funny. I would spam giant hunt on them or go for parries. I didn't enjoy fighting those guys that much. Twinblade black knight is the same ubt you can easily stagger him with a larger weapon. The bosses didn'tr feel as bad but i was using sekiro drink for a lot of them, and I used greatshield for romina which completely trivialized her
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjUJZZhjp0oThis was the real final boss
>>483529995Gaius, mother finger, hippo, radahn, scadutree, and messmer all have some INSANELY fucked hitboxes off the top of my head. Gaius' charge, finger's spinny slam, hippo's.. everything, radahn's everything in phase 2. Scadutree and messmer have some attacks that feel like they have very large lingering hitboxes that will hit your backside if you dodge or block them. I've blocked some of the snake lunges only to get hit because the hitbox seemingly passed through me only to linger and hit me from behind.The hitboxes on radahn are just awful all around. I loved phase 1 but phase 2 is one of the worst souls bosses ever
Hogs HATE Him
>>483531006this really is the best way to dodge the opening charge. also works really nicely as a gap closer if you don't want him kiting away from you all the time.
>>483529190>>483529995the open world aspect was a huge flaw for me. i cannot see myself doing much in the way of replay except beelining for whatever legacy dungeon/boss i want to do again.i spend more time wandering around the open world trying to find something to do than i do actually doing something, and that is fucking terrible
why does this combo its own neutral 2h r1's while other colossals don't? it's literally the same visual frame data/moveset as the godslayer sword yet this one casually dicks 80% of your 60 vig if it connects a single hitsomehow still not as dumb as swift slash/midra's but i hate it
>>483529995>feel like it has been that way since the beginning really, but back then bosses didn't have as many crazy combos.they generally telegraphed what they were going to be doing in some way. in ER they dance around and delay an overhead and then when it finally comes out after input reading your roll it's not actually a vertical overhead but instead a horizontal flurry meant to rollcatch you and then an auto-tracking poke meant to catch your roll you used to get out of stunlock, and it all happens in under 2 seconds
True combos on bosses is awful
anyone have good face sliders/resources for ds2? yeah the female character model is built like a fridge, but i always try to make a cute witch if im doing a caster
I was completely stuck on that npc fight after 30+ tries until you guys suggested the fire knight great sword. Quit and came back just now and beat it the first try. The weapon balance in this dlc is truly truly awful.
I miss slow combat and non anime spells. Elden Ring 1v1 pvp is so fucking shit even after the dlc it just got way worse.
>>483532887the spells baffle me. so many of them are so fucking slow that i can't understand their purpose. yeah it looks cool to conjure a small moon that shoots toward an enemy, but in the time it takes to do so they've already hit you 400 timeswhat are these spells for
>>483532887retvrn brotherretvrn to ranglake
https://www.ign.com/articles/hidetaka-miyazaki-would-consider-making-a-traditional-jrpg-but-it-wouldnt-be-related-to-enchanted-armsThoughts? Not the kind of game I'd expect from FROM. They might have to do actual dialogues and shit.
>>483533094gank squads
>>483533134They need to properly remaster DS2 already, the potential is there.
>>483533210i think miyazaki will be exposed for a 0 talent hack if they do thatthey clearly just got lucky with lack of technical expertise and jank working to make ds 1-3 good
>have mercy for the spirited away shamanswhat did the dev message mean by this? literally just that anime movie guy reference?
>>483533268i shudder to imagine what new garbage they'd put into it that'd be just as bad for the online aspect as soul memoryif they do, i hope to god they dont use the password system, i am so tired of that shit. you never see any rando signs in ds1 or ds3 anymore because everyone's using passwords, summoning overleveled people from discord help channels or exclusively their friends. i get summoned and find more summons in ds2 just running around; there's small signs in the middle of levels, there's actually a bunch of signs near bonfires or boss doors for once, it's great, it's just like i remember it, it's exactly as it should be. the name engraved ring was fine and shouldve been the extent of it, it's not like there was ever an issue of one guy trying to get summoned by his friend but oh no he keeps getting summoned by a rando, that literally never happened. even if it did, literally just put your sign around a corner 2 feet away
https://www.eldenring.jp/newsdetail/news_detail_240626_1.htmlthey changed skibidi bonuses
>>483533753not the problem thoughbeitmaking it piss easy to tank every hit doesnt make the bosses more fun unfortunately
the night shield is awful...
>>483535346the dmg is okay
>>483535804blocking with a small shield isn't okay
>>483535840zaki moment
>>483531997the godslayer gs r1s are faster but they have tier 2 hitstun, they forgot that and gave this moveset tier 3 hitstun thats why
golden arcs kinda bussin
why am I blowing into a bell, dont you ring bells
i was busy with work whent he dlc dropped, are people still playing the dlc? if i start now can i join others?also how do i get back into the combat and nuances of the game, i haven't touched it in ages. Should i just jump straight in or should i just kill random shit to get used to it again?
a lot of people are still at the first area of the dlc because they are like you, normies with jobs
Has anyone grown/been tired of how FS does story in their games? I feel like they do way to much not-telling AND not-showing. You might see something cool and think "what does that mean? how does it fit into the story/lore"/etc, and honestly most of the time the answer tends to be "thats it. thats all we came up with, there isnt anything more" unless you make it up yourself. Or look up schizo videos on youtube. It just feels really lazy and boring, I want to know more, but there isnt any more or not concrete evidence
had a good time with slime today. gn.>>483537034the big one is cool.>>483537393there's a ton of mobs that r pretty easy to bully in t he dlc if you feel rusty
>>483537606no it's better this way, there's nothing epic or good about video game stories you should bask in the general coolness of things not get caught up on autistic worldbuilding details
>>483537606My feelings exactlyOther anon is a shallowminded degen, completely unsalvageable as a human being
>>483537814>>483537651i like both but change isnt bad
>>483537393just jump straight in, is what I didinvade as you go along to remove the rust from pvp toothere's still a lot of other rusty pvers out there that are good practice
PUT YOUR SIGN DOWN AT FINGER MOMno password
>>483537606yes, which is why sekiro is their best game
>>483538248ac6*
>>483537606I was invested in the setting and story for base elden ring but the dlc isn't very interesting. Yeah we see where the fingers come from, turns out it's the ground. We find out what the crucible is... it's human sacrifice. We learn why marika was a big meanie, cause of revenge. All this stuff was more interesting when it was left unanswered. The Miquella plotline feels irrelevant once it gets into the resurrection plot tangent. Meanwhile basic questions like "what is the shadow tree, why is there a giant veil, how was this place removed from the lands between" aren't important it's all just there to look cool. Why is there a scorpion rot lady in this specific location? idk we just had the model made already. Everything feels randomly thrown together at the last minute.
>>483538225I assume 'do not the cat' was one of youthanks!
>>483538540>All this stuff was more interesting when it was left unanswered.Only because the answer->it's all just there to look cool. Why is there a scorpion rot lady in this specific location? idk we just had the model made already.-is disappointing

>>483539837mohg and radahn died for THAT? yuck
>>483540024A mind-controlling twink, yeah
the only way to not get gank squadded is to put down a duelist sign at a boss gate and surprise people
>>483538724True. I'm coming around to people calling miyazaki a hack. With base elden ring they did a good job of separating the different cultures and denizens of the world into places that make sense. Depicting their differing views on the world's god, how magic works, what motivates their society. The baseline of the setting cribbing off esoteric gnostic alchemy texts was smart, gave everything an air of a lived in world with rules alien to our own but internally consistent. But now in the DLC you move 30ft in any direction and you're suddenly in a completely different setting with no relation to where you just were and no geographic significance to their placement. It feels like Disneyworld.
How do we feel about the sleep twink?

Why many chinks hate the Blue Bear?
is 125 going to lose its place as a meta level because of the dlc kind of demanding more players to 150/200?
138.

>>483543213considering that i never heard of anything other than 150 being for metafags, yes
Elden Ring's open world was a mistake.
>>483543583This is a given. But do you think Fromsoft has improved upon in with their DLC?

>>483543775I have't played DLC. Burned out after SL1 run of the main game. From what I've seen and read on 4chan, they haven't improved their open world design, might be even worse now because you need to farm skibidi fragments.

old.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/1dohter/elden_ring_players_attempting_to_punish_a_boss/bros reddit has the same complaints as us, fromsoft got too cocky this time
Just not!finished up, I jotted down my general thoughts over the last week.I will now dump them unceremoniously and ignore your writhing complaints about the length of it until I wake up tomorrow morning and read all your warm and wholesome responses to my blog kthxbyeGeneral Stuff>Finished at SL97, still representing /bbg/ meta. About as challenging as I like it, not that hardest self-imposed challenge I've done, but it was fun.>The basegame is objectively more difficult than the DLC once you have a few Scat Tree Frags (don't know the Scat cap, but I got 17 / 9 by the end blind). I've still got to finish the basegame since I was putting it off in case the DLC added anything in terms of endings, so returning to Farum in prep for Maliketh and just getting 1tapped was a quick reminder of how bad the difficultyspike is for Eldog, yet they haven't done shit to fix it.>Wanted to beat it with a new DLC weapon, but lo and behold for some stupid fucking reason there were no pure STR weapons that fit my build or style. Why the fuck do the Smithwork weapons have an 11 fucking INT and 11 fucking FTH requirement. As such, stuck it out with the Ol' Reliable Longhaft Greataxe as a change of pace from my basegame Greataxe + Executioners Greataxe, beat the entire DLC with it (only realised half way through I hadn't upgraded it to +25).Exploration>Overall, it felt the same to me as the basegame - 10/10 blind exploration and scenery, then just downhill from there. dog and bone are still superior in terms of gameplay design.>Took 4-5 total days to finish (took a day off) or about 45 hours, mostly satisfied.>Did it completely blind, then skimmed a checklist after I felt like I'd done everything. The only boss I genuinely missed after skimming a checklist before the final boss was the Scadutree boss, since I ran past the lever. Figured out a lot of the "puzzles" naturally too, I liked the one where you resurrect the Fire Titan with a Hefty Fire Titan Bomb.
>There should have been Grace markers, especially for the intended route. I found Divine Lion early, then kept on putting him off since he just 1tapped me every time, and I just assumed he was lategame or something. Turns out his fog attack was massively overtuned, and he was unsatisfying after (at least there was the Death Lion in Babylon, he was far more fun, since I didn't kill him in under 10 hits)>On the other hand, I was punished by missing out on the first part of Ansbach's quest (where he literally asks you to explore for him) since I got into Scadu Plains early via the spiritspring + explored the nearby collapsed ruins to Bonny Village; so ended up with the Charm broken and everyone gone before I'd faced a single boss. On one hand - cool that you can do it (I think Dormina can be your first boss if you try), on the other, bullshit that you're punished for it. Related was my first encounter with the Fire-Serpent spell, for funny context https://streamable.com/d4447w>Also, how the fuck were you supposed to know to just blindly drink poison from the loliflower 4 times with no feedback whatsoever. Genuine bullshit, I felt cheated out of a questline I did legit to the end otherwise.Lore>As an epic 2deep4u lorefig I'm mostly satisfied with how everything fits together, a good amount of questions have been answered, but there are definitely areas that should have been more interconnected. Midra's Mense was a case study on this, literally just "we need a Madness area+boss, fuck it, he exists" - it provides 0 context whatsoever, Nanaya is such a non-character that in the loading screens before then, I thought it might have been Marika with Messmer / Melina's father.>As somebody paying attention, I think everything laid out does make sense, but the amount of remaining loose ends is dissatisfying.>No new Outer Being + no new Great Runes was a disappointment, but the serpent one getting it's formal name was cool I guess (instead of "rykard's pet snake")
>I liked Marika's backstory a lot, and the moment I saw the phrase "chosen people" early on + their irish accent, my dogwhistle detector immediately went off and made me hate the Hornsent pre-justification, which was a good call on my end>I can't figure out who Melina & Messmer's father is. On one hand it's gotta be from Gelmir since the Abyssal Snake OB hangs out there, on the other he can't be nobody, since despite Messmer being a "bastard", he's still Melina's paired older brother, so Marika had to have came (came) crawling back. Since Rykard & Gelmir was all about foreign goods and being a port / trading hub, maybe he's just a foreign boytoy and the place of birth was incidental, but I just don't get it. Not to mention, Melina's mark in the style of the Snow Witch that Ranni's doll was modelled after. Also, it definitely can't be Radagon, since Messmer+Melina are chronologically post-Godfrey, pre-Radagon brood or the second of four lots; since Messmer was hooking up as an adult with Rellana before Renalla was a power player for Radagon (so Radagon would still have been a mortal half-giant slave on the Weeping Isle as this point)>Personal headcanon that St. Trina was a pre-natal parasitic triplet, that was in the womb with Miquella and Malenia. Don't care if people disagree, I'm right, even if it's subjective, no other demigod has such a literal alter-ego (not even Morgott / Margit or Mogh / True Mogh) and no other "shedding" of Miquella's body is so literal and visibe (ie, you don't see his abandoned arms anywhere). Trina is her own person, she's not Miquella (like an inverse of Radagon being grafted into Marika or how Serrosh is still independant from Godfrey).
C-C-C-COMBOBREAKER
>As for the Miquella boss, on one hand, Maleniafags are so genuinely insufferable that I'm glad they got completely and utterly BTFO, cucked, sucked and fucked in every way conceivable (right down to her "epic flowing master" who invented her style seems to be implied trained by a chimpanzee demihuman) - on the other hand it should have been Godwyn, and it feels like a rewrite for popularity / Radahnfags. As a stalwart and based Godrickfag tried and true, I have no bias in this matter (/mylad/'s faction didn't even show up in the DLC, feelsbadman), but my thoughts are those and those alone.>Still, I hope the Maleniafag sp/erg/s are suffering + on suicide watch right now.Combat / Bosses>I really don't like how pre-buffing / summons are basically intended at this point. I tolerated it in Nioh since it was designed for it, but most of my deaths to Bayle were just trying to fucking summon Igon for his quest in the arena, and either touching a bloodstain or getting caught in the message, then getting oneshot. If I didn't have 999 Boiled Crab, this might have been more of an annoyance; since most other consumable buffs have hardlimits on their resources / materials aside from needlessly brutal grinds, and this is dumb as shit + wasn't fixed in the DLC.>Jump-to-avoid is still a bad mechanic, and I can think of no better example with how Purescant Knight's bluefire-pulses are jump-to-avoid and catch rolls, while Bayle's visually-similar lighthingfire pulses are roll-to-avoid and catch jumps. There's no consistancy, and the TTK is way too short to be fucking around with that shit, since you don't get to "experiment", even before how short some telegraphs are these days. You just die, to the tune that trying to do it first time blind is unreasonable, which I feel is just cheap + bad design.
>I'm pretty confident in saying that Messmer literally has at least one frame-1 360' AoE screech in his second phase before one of his stupid-speed snake moves, which is completely unreactable and does enough damage to 1shot. Might have missed seeing the windup, but I don't think I did. A boss should have enough time that you can react out of recovery frames, not be punished for aggression. O&S, Manus and Fume Knigger didn't need frame1 damage to be hard, it's just cheap.>I still genuinely have no clue how you're supposed to kill Fire Titans. Only done the first one in Gravesite Plains, the rest are either immune to toeclipper damage because of their shinpads or they dry me out of Sunny D before I can pass the endurance DPS check and kill them.>I don't like schizo-speed bosses with bait-attack patterns, but I'll tolerate them; but it's the ones with fucked movement that will not fucking stay still in one place that piss me off. Gaius is genuinely my least favorite boss I have ever had the displeasure to have to deal with, he's too high damage to be a Torrent boss and too schizo to be fun chasing him around everywhere.>I've said not!finished because while I've reached the final boss's final phase a few times now, but I've stopped trying. Genuinely, I am playing on PS4 and it is the first time in all of my Souls history where the bullshit particle effects are so bad that it's lagging my game to the point my rolls are being delayed input, and I'm getting hit by attacks I'm unable to respond to. It happened quite a bit for Divine Lion + Messmer (https://streamable.com/wfkzgw) , and it's a problem now for Miquella since it's so severe. I don't care if it's too much for the PS4 to handle, to me, this is absofuckinglutely unforgivable, and cements my opinion that Elden Ring has the weakest combat in almost every slike, and definitely out of the From lineup, and is way too reliant on ADHD lightshows to make up for clean fights.
>>483553340>prebuffing/summons are intendedhalf the bosses dont even let you summon mimic tear they attack you too fast lmaobut yeah doing these fights without co-op is aids, you basically get 0 time to ever attack if you go in solo
>>483553549co-op makes the bosses too tanky imojust your mimic tear is sufficient
>Back in my day, Artorias was a badass because he was so agile he could do backflips with a greatsword and had pocketsand goop to catch you out, nowadays it's gotten so severe that I'm sat doing fuck all while my game lags as the boss does their designated weebshit move (eg Bayle's phase change). It's not fun. Gaius, Messmer, Bayle and Miquella are all guilty of this in a massive way; and for Gaius and Miquella in particular, it's genuinely unplayable and inexcusable. I will wait for the first patch until I properly try to deal with Miquella, and they better fix this framerate shit.

The first phase is fun but the second phase is absolutely disgusting, unironically what were they thinking? And all on top of robbing us of Godwyn and resurrecting Fagdahn out of nowhere. I loved this DLC up to this point. And you can bet I'm not putting my summoning sign next to this shit, no thank you.
>>483560727no. should've just learned how to parry him through the beam spam.

just wait until the second elden ring dlc where they let you beat the shit out of miquella after he falls off of radahn's dead back to access the new death dimension. also the final boss will just be malenia again.

Did you beat the Blue Smelter Demon?
>>483560884No, I think I won. This is also the first point in the game where I used the deflect tear. I feel like they wanted to put in a way to make blocking relevant and add a new defensive option that can be used by anyone but it really is broken on great shield. I didn't time any blocks, I just spammed L1 any time he was attacking and it would perfect block most of it while what wasn't was absorbed well enough by the GS which was convenient considering I couldn't even roll anyway. I'll probably try to beat it for real some time on my other builds but I just wanted to get it over with for now.

i like it
is black lapp the new bullgoatse or that ds2 set
moore's set is the new goat because it's just better
it has worse strike defense but better slash and robustness, I guess thats better yeah because no one uses (great)hammers
>>483562005Me again, bought Agheel's Flame and used that to get around the barrier, took the elevator, and nabbed the Forbidden Lands grace.Wish I knew about that workaround 2 years ago when I got stuck in Leyndell.

The Anvil Hammer WA having lingering hitboxes is neat

The tree fragments are a bad mechanic that murders the replay-ablity of the DLC, as if that wasn't enough of a problem for base Elden Ring.

I'd be fine with the Scadu fragments if increased resistance was not packaged with increased damage. More survivability against one shot kills would be great, but I like the amount of damage I'm doing, it is enough. I enjoy fighting the bosses and do not want the fights to be over quickly. If I wanted more damage I could start using buffs.>>483586704Well are you going to share with the class?>>483581042>>483581042I like fighting armored guys with big weapons.

true, all the new ''limited'' strong consumables just scream CE
Elden Ring, and especially the DLC, has made it's boss fights functionally more like normal enemies. In previous games a boss would do comparable damage to stronger normal enemies like knights, but have have many times greater hp. Now players have the means to burst bosses down very quickly, but the amount of damage bosses deal has dramatically increased. So when a player levels up accordingly or otherwise improves ther character it results in a boss which can kill quickly if the player makes a few mistakes but dies very quickly to the players attacks.>>483585241Wait till you see the AOW selection on perfume bottles.>>483591450
>>483591450We're stuck with Jeenis until Sane comes back

hmm... young lion helm seems pretty good for a 10 poise hat option. better stats than duelist helm for only 0.2 more weight.
>>483612164Is he even done with the dlc?>>483612547yeah lmao>>483612563cry about it

ev&oe you're the one who's having a meltie over armoralso you're brown...
>>483608013but if i wanted to play sekiro i'd play sekiro the beauty of dark soul was not having to learn any mechanics and just roll when the big enemy attacks younow not only do you need an optimized build you need to use buffs and swap out tears and flasks and talismans to have a chance at damaging the bosses, it just feels antithetical to what dark souls used to be. I enjoyed the simplicity and just gitting gud, now it's like I'm trying to solve a puzzle. Ofc older dark souls had ways to make a boss easier, but it didnt feel nearly as necessary as it does now.
maybe he's italian
so...how much str/dex do Occult builds want now?
the dlc didn't really change too much. 35 str if you wanna 1h the meteoric ore gs i guess. dex is less important now that spinslash & 'kibas and nagis are worse.
>>483561402>>483561479the hec is coomcanon
>>483614389headcanon but for gooners
>still need 22 dex for rotberdSigh
>>483567646which ds2 set
just run prosthesis for rotberd. you'll be running offaxe (or dag) anyways so it won't be wasted.
prosthesis isnt jee-approved anymore
ah sweetArc won the comfy competition
jeenanner doesn't even run halberd setups
>>483581042Because Tanimura (based god) didn't allow Miyazaki's (memehackzaki) filthy hands to touch DS2, it's the only souls game without another god awful lazy poison swamp

>>483634617they wanted to cut this character from the base game
>>483634912Nothing, it opens up quests.Wait a bit before killing the snake dude
>>483634826I swear they wanted you to use that tear for the boss, it makes it so much more manageable. It's actually pretty kino to block face bosses head-on instead of always rolling. Maybe the next sekiroborne will implement both a bit more carefully, it's inclusion in sote feels like a test for later games.
>>483634702>replaying ds3>running out of flasks during long fights (im shit)>tense near-death moments instead of being insta killed from full health with 8 flasks remaining.I'ts a good feeling.

>Honestly the boss design in this game is an absolute sick fucking joke.>I finally understand why the bosses feel so goddam awful and just plain bad. Here what I found out:>For some stupid reason, the input delay in Elden Ring is absolutely horrendous. Seriously, go play dark souls 3 and sekiro and see for yourself there is almost no input delay between you pressing a button and the game character performing said action. Bloodborne has horrible input delay as well. I don't if this is intentional or a bug. It wouldn't surprise me if the whole game is buggy as hell.>Another thing I fount out is that awful delayed attacks are literally unreactable for these reasons:>1. Unnatural long wind up and lighting fast delivery. One boss can and will delay their attack for ages and then release said attack in a matter of few frames. go try it yourself. These attacks are literally design to be unreactable. You cannot escape them, you can only memorize the wind up length and react before the boss even prepares to release their attack.>2. The bosses AI will go absolutely insane if you even dare to heal. The boss will stuntlock you into a state where anytime you heal you will get punished with an unreactable attack. If you dare to run away as far as possible the boss will chase and get within breathing distance to instantly punish you if you heal. I've literally ran out of stamina multiple times because the boss wouldn't let me run away and heal. Not to mention that sometimes the boss will throw a range attack (that is unreactable btw) to punish your heal from range.>3. Stun locks: The DLC is especially bad at this. There are certain attacks that will stun lock you to death without no counter play.>There is also the fact that AOE spam is another way for this game to artificially increase the difficulty of its bosses. Not only that, these will also tank your fps and obscure your field of vison to the point it is quite impossible to find out what's going on in your screen.
So was Marika just some nobody living in the shaman village? From what I can tell, some cosmic horror landed nearby and she worked with them to become a god and either create or move to the lands between and create a new order where they worship the cosmic horror. Actually everything is cosmic horrors now that I think about it. All the other deities are described as outer gods. So formless mother, frenzied flame, dark moon and whatever else are all just competing with the greater will or whatever the shit that sent the fingers is.

How the hell did Mohg get such a loyal knight? Sir Ansbach is such a bro in this. Even when you tell him you killed Mohg, he's just like "oh well, it was a fair fight. Now lets go kill that femboy". I really liked the NPCs in this one in general. Having a big fight with them at the end and it changing depending on your actions was a really cool moment. Only wish Igon could have been there as well.

>>483668118Wish I could take advantage of stuff like the sanctum xbow, but I can't ever be bothered using consumables in ds2 because buying them increases my SM and farming them from enemies only drops like 3 at a time at most

So was there any reason for Miquella to be a boy? He has a girl's name, looks like a girl, likes men, etc. It's a shame it's okay for him to be a bussy but niggers on twitter would be calling for Miyazaki's head on a pike if he made Miquella a cunny instead.
>>483682096why do you care what anyone on twitter thinks?
>>483667839it probably had golden eyes that one time
>>483682246Sorry if you misunderstood, it was just an example. I don't think Japs would care but westoids would cry if miq was a cunny goddess.
>inappropriate activity detectedHuh? I didn't do shit.Is this what the chinks were review bombing about?
>>483681423oh it seems I just got the Lordvessel. this is actually a pretty natural starting off point. nice.
>>483683051chinese people review bombed because the game is gay and they'll go to prison if they get turned on by the man on man final boss
>>483681423>covenantsthis would make the open world actually good if there was some sort of "zone" goal that made you feel like one part of the world was your homemajor fuck up not adding them, no soul.
>>483683360>part of the world was your homeI mean that literally is how it is in the original dks.way of the white has firelink shrine, sunbros have undead burg, princess guard the palace, darkmoon the basement of anor londo.forest hunters control the forest, darkwraights new londo, dragons ash lake, gravelords the tomb and chaos servants lower blight town. I didn't even have to look them up to remember.
>>483684221yeah that's my point, i guess they figured getting people to invade in this shitty mode would be a tall askthe games are a lot less comfy now. maybe it should have been like a player controlled boss, but having one for a lot of different covenants would be a pain I suppose
>>483684837oh you're talking about elden ring? yeah, idk, from what I played it certainly seemed to have a lost a lot of the soul in becoming more "accessible". which I suppose paid off in sales. in 2012 it was still feasible even for console gamers to wait 30 minutes to find an online play partner. now matchmaking needs to be instant, even if it means squeezing everyone into the same "streamlined" "experience". with more rules and restrictions to make it "fair".not that it felt like ubisoft AAA slop or anything, thank god.
>>483684221>darkmoon the basement of anor londo.what, the hallway?
>>483685249nah they just had to bandaid tape the invasions by giving everyone a 2v1 or 3v1 because they were too lazy to balance weapon arts and rotbreath and shit
>>483685579yeah, the hallway, but in a more thematic sense all of anor londo outside of the delusions inside the palace.I mean there isn't really any gameplay incentive to "stick to your area" nor do I think there should be, but dark souls did a good job tying each location and its lore and aesthetic to the covenants. it also manages to make you feel like you're trespassing if you're for example in the forest without being a forest hunter or in new londo but not a darkwraith.
WTF is up with the damage of flame spear in pvp??? I thought it was a straight upgrade to impaling thrust in pve but it does no damage for whatever reason
Is spellcasting viable for the dlc?
>>483553752>22 hours ago>'back tomorrow'>PS5Help me kill Radahn. He's fucking impossible and I want to kull myself.
>>483687289I think the thrust hitbox isn't connecting somehow???
>>483687473He's weak to thrust. I used a great katana but didn't have the free 15% damage buff. I also had 19 skibidi levels.
>>483687342Yea
It's fucking bugged
>>483687342Your available spells against bosses are catch flame and carian slicer, against normal shit in the open world and dungeons you can use whatever you want
>>483687810I've tried everything I can do with what I've got, and I just can't get him passed about 40% in phase 2.Maybe I'll try greatshield with a thrusting sword I guess. Tired of respeccing/savescumming but I guess I might as well.
>>483687868just for comparison I hit a dude with impaling thrust and it did 680 damagea fully charged flame spear does as much as an r1
>>483687951Flame of the fell god doesn't work? That's kinda shit. At least catch flame works. I want to burn these faggots.
>>483688235It works but good luck casting anything that takes longer than 0,5 seconds against the worst bosses fromsoft has ever designed
>>483688303I will be running a dex/fth epee build so I hope that will mitigate the casting time issue. If it fails then I'll fall back on catch flame. By the way, can the moon knight be thrown into the air by burn o flame? It's my favorite part of the spell.
>>483688512if you mean relanna then no, none of the bosses are affected by forced movement like knockup and knockback, they can only be stance broken
>>483688695Bloodflame poke+catch flame on stance break it is. Thanks anon.
>>483688303just wait for one of their openings
>>483689015lol
>>483688512>>483688303there's a cast charm that makes incantations near instant it's actually pretty cool
>>483689269Are you talking about Radagon's icon or something the dlc added?
>>483689176skill issue
>>483679309bottom leftthe snake sword
>>483687473On in a second. Main thing is just juggling aggro, I summoned Ansbach because I don't care about summons if it's quest-related, since it's intentional, and it's trivial if you just let him pull aggro then get some hits in. Apparently Thiollier is even easiermode, since he's got more aggressive AI, so pulls more aggro.Just like every other boss a summon is present for.
Set my pass to fsg , I've stuck my summon sign on top of the right fence next to the doorway.If I'm afk, I'm getting snacks, ready to help Hopefully ps4 and ps5 can play together, and hopefully I don't get lagged out of the game in phase 2
Why do so many people think the DLC scales with your level?
>>483689771Ansbach disappeared from my gameafter givibg me the second map.Thioller fucking sucks. His attacks do no damage and half the time he dies before phase 2 even starts.
>>483690029because there was something said to that effect before it came out and zoomers are physically incapable of spreading accurate info
>>483689324he's talking about a new talisman that gives +70 virtual dex at the cost of -30% absorption across the board (its trash)
>>483690970That's absolutely useless for me. I'll already be going for 60 dex so that the Epee can deal decent damage. If I decide I want to cap my casting speed I'll just go to mohgwyn palace and grind out 10 dex levels.
Honestly SotE is so goddamn awful it's making me retroactively dislike all the Souls games and hate Fromsoft.
>>483691430No? it's greatquestlines are fucked though
>>483691561The map is nice.Everything else is awful.
Thots on the Smithscript stuff that isn't the Hammer?
>>483691589dont worry king you are right, but this opinion is sadly only held by people with 150+ IQ
What exactly is bad about the dlc
>>483692153skidibi toilets
how am I so bad at this game I keep dying to demon firesage
What are the worst spamming bosses/mobs in the DLC?unreadable badly telegraphed attacks are also goodI have divine beast, rellana and radahn
>>483692341his magic explosion is kinda fucky. seems like the visual indication of where it is sucks
i was about to tell you to stop using chaos on the demon firesage then i remembered he is weak to fire
>>483692153>A lot of boring bosses>Copypasted enemies>Cookbook rewards for explorationThat said the new armor, talismans and weapons are good, as is the world design itself.
>>483691831The shield is great
>>483692341Always stay behind his butt. Then he won't do his AOE attack.
>>483692421I feel that way about his AoE sweep attack. like I'm standing out of range of it so I don't roll because that'd be "a noob panic roll" but then I get hit when I thought I was outside the animation
>>483692457>then i remembered he is weak to firewhere are you seeing that demon firesage is weak to fire?
Yeah I don't see it, usually when a game has mixed reviews I can immediately tell what's wrong and shit on it, in this case not so much. The world is great but I hate the dead ends and how confusing the map can be. Besides that the questlines are confusing and require a guide (as per usual) and the weapons are either all shit and bugged or stupidly overpowered (as expected)Besides that everything else is great
>>483692654I still don't get what is supposedly so confusing about the map
>>483692647okay he's not weak to it but he's not resistant to it eitherbut you would kill him really quickly if you used the princess crown, bellowing ring and gcombustion
>>483692906yeah but pyromancy is a faggy crutch and I want to re-learn muscle memory with my weapon
>>483692802The problem is that unlike the regular open world map, the dlc map teases you with tons of regions you can explore, and no apparent way to get to them. If you want to find a certain spot you have to explore for hours and randomly stumble upon it, or look up a guide.>Start the dlc>Immediately see the cerulean coast + charo's hidden grave>Can't get there unless you go north (lol), cross the bridge, find a mini dungeon, clear the mini dungeon, go to the dragon area, THEN finally you can get to charo's grave>then finally you can get to cerulean coastSame shit with the east wing of the shadow keep. You would think there would be a path from the normal entrance through the area with the golden hippo boss room, but no, you have to explore an entire side region to the right and only then can you get to it, and access the remaining parts of the storehouse, which the game teases you with.
>>483693082Seems like a dumb complaint. Imagine if someone who just started ds3 and got to high wall would complain about there not bring an obvious path to get to the big cathedral they can see in the distance.
>>483693247there's no map in ds3 that shows the cathedral right next to the high wallyou wouldn't even notice the cathedral unless you spend tons of time looking at the scenery, and even then it's poorly rendered meshes in the distance so you have no idea if it's a level or not. There's an entire floor with items you can see right before messmer's boss room in the storehouse, and zero way to access it from there. You have to take a multiple hour detour from an area south of the keep, through the jar village, etc.
>>483692341>fire wep on fire enemy from hell called the demon firesageu tell me
>>483693436I just don't understand kids like you who demands instant gratification in everything.
>put down sign>take time of out before bedtime to help an anonigga in need>still not summoned yetslurmboozled>>483691831stupid that it's all got int and faith requirements
>>483693598NTA, but this is literally not an issue of instant gratification, it's an issue of map direction and level design. It'd be like needing to go through the catacombs to reach the undead parish after beating taurus demon
>>483693460do you nerds actually change equipment depending on which enemy you're facing in fromsoft games?also I don't think he's actually resistant to fire. ruins is past the point they had stopped caring.
>>483693598>See part of dungeon you haven't explored>Okay let me go retrace my steps throughout the entire dungeon, maybe I missed some hidden path somewhere>Spend an hour going through everything>nope>You had to go to a completely unrelated area, explore 2 more unrelated areas, finally get to a related area from the side, and THEN you can get to the part of the dungeon you haven't exploredAre you retarded?>kidslol
summon new thread
>>483693868Yes you complete retard. Vidya going mainstream was a mistake, neanderthals can't even rub their neurons together for warmth in order to figure using the same element as the boss on the boss isn't effective
is blee good on dueling shields

>>483693082you can get to cerulean coast by getting to the river and going down it
