I noticed the game performs significantly worse since the DLC released. Not even the DLC areas specifically. I used to be able to OBS record in the base game but now just having OBS on dunks my framerate and recordings come out as slideshows.

Using the talisman and chest piece that improves jumping attacks I realized doesn't do much, since the main benefit of jumping attacks is the poise, not thw damage

How playable are the souls games with kb+m? Elden Ring is the first one I've played on PC and it works fine with a gaming mouse.
In theory it should work for 1-3 too but I heard you need a controller anyway since they don't let you freely keybind shit and jump attacks are basically impossible

Has anyone else messed with the deflecting hardtear flask? I slapped it on for my NG+3 run and it has made the game genuinely good. It feels like the bosses and enemies were specifically designed with this kind of gameplay in mind, but it was cut for some weird reason. I went from dreading replaying the game again to having a blast. The only draw back is that it isn't a talisman, which it should be. Its not bad in PVP either. I catch people off guard with it all the time.

Dark Souls Remastered and Dark Souls III are okay with KB+M but you might to remap some controls because jumping and rolling are bound on the same key and switching weapons can't be done through the mouse by default. With DS2 you'll have to re-map all your controls since the defaults are total dogshit and you'll also have to turn off double clicking each time you boot up the game (These Japs never test anything)

Azur has a green crown and Lusat has a blue crown, Azurs pupils (Karolos) wear blue crowns and study comets, Lusats pupils (Olivinus) wear green crowns and study meteors.
Sellen was taught by Azur, wears green and Shard Spiral is available at the end of her questline, it says it was made as an attempt at creating a new type of "comet" spell.
A bit weird that AZURE wears green instead of blue, I wonder if this is some sort of mistake.

>>484952248

Except weaker, slower and much less range.
The other frost spells are fine but this one is trash.

>>484952527
It was a specific bug with a specific ash of war that made it do insane damage if you aimed it right at the ground.
The weapons are otherwise unchanged. They aren’t great, but give them a shot anyway.

Blue is related to meteors which is related to gravity which is related to the color purple. The eye-brain thing appears to be related to Astel in some way, and Astels, as Malformed Stars, are related to gravity, and have purple powers, and purple glinstone that empowers purple gravity magic is a thing.
>>484952287
I bet it was intentional to muddy the distinction for the sake of mystery. Turquoise and cyan are blue-green colors anyway anyway. They bleed into the other. The greener the less evil, I think, although I can't be sure. It'd be ironic if the Olivinus, who are against the Current, are using more sinister glinstone than the Karalos, who are for the Current.

I assume Karolos and Olivinus are both against the current, hence Lusat and Sellen being imprisoned.
I think Sellen implies that most at the academy just want to study safe magic without caring about the stars and cosmos.

lightning slash
flame spear

Endure is also great on any build, the damage reduction and poise allows you to tank a hit and stay extremely aggressive.

Otherwise I'd use something that complements the moveset. Piercing fang works great on it.

Maybe I will just forego the damage buff to Aspect spells and skills entirely. I was thinking Militia chest, Twinned Helmet, and Crucible Greaves and Gauntlets but the poise was too low.

Is Elden Ring a cunny coded game?

>all endings basically lead to different variants of Age of Fire without anything being resolved permanently (I.E turn off your brain and follow the Order as it was originally without distortion, or run away on a space rock letting nature take it's course and people find their own way without any tangible Order, ironically the haggery of Marika and Ranni is what created the most of the tragic events of the base game and you can only side with them to partially fix it or run away)
>only hope is the alchemical rebis child who has the intellect, faith and aptitude to get rid of Godwyn's death blight at the base of the Erdtree, and the Outer Gods entropic influences in the form of Scarlet Rot and Frenzied Flame in one generation
>they're a prodigious Golden Order talent and even succeed in growing a pseudo-Erdtree and creating Unalloyed Gold artifacts that are capable of resisting the influence of Outer Gods
>their efforts in the Land's Between fall apart as soon as they try to become an adult (god)
>follow rebis child (Miquella/Trina) to the Shadow Realm, and as the Tarnished explores they find out he's discarding parts of his humanity in a quest to become a god (adult)
>essentially SOTE is about a child messiah who forced themselves to grow up and became that which they swore to fix (pre-Radagon Era Golden Order Marika) complete with his own meat puppet kill bot similar to what Marika had with Godfrey
>Had he remained cute and funny with Trina he'd get a good ending with the Tarnished because he wouldn't be afraid of their ability to resist their charms, and would see beyond the raw strength and reliability of a meat puppet.

Basically the moral of the story of Elden Ring is don't let hags fuck up the world, don't let them raise kids and never grow up or allow innocence around you to defile itself for the sake of obtaining the illusory power of haggery.

-No player-marker on the map. Learn to actually orient using landmarks
-More "Legacy" ideally no Ubisoft-Open world.
-Shorter game with fewer repetition in enemies, buildings, everything basically
-Fewer dependance on "gotcha" held animations for enemies/bosses.

>>484963915
I agree with this

Will my experience be diminished if I don't pay attention to npcs? I just want to charge in and wreck shit. I already killed hippo boss at shadow keep.

>>484963915
Part 2

-Less tracking for enemies
-Fewer AOEs. Especially when the enemy lands from a jump. There shouldn't be active damage that far around and especially not behind it.
-Shorter combos, less anime-esque, twirl around enemies.
-Less dependance on i-frames for Bosses. Ideally the Medium to heavy rolls would have no i-frames. This stuff should be reserved for dedicated ninja-characters. Just I-framing everything is bullshit both for the player and the developer. Make placement, distancing, patience more important.
-Less rolling. Different dodge animations for different weights, like Bloodborne's sidestep. Looks more believable for most characters. Fat-rolling should be viable.
-More wittle down from enemies when retrieing a boss. Yeah you read right. Getting to the boss in good condition should be part of the challenge for the majority of bosses. Only the super-tough final bosses should be balanced to fight the player at full capacity
-Slower leveling, but bigger increase in stats per level
-Less video-gamey enemy scaling. Enemies in the beginning could potentially do as much damage as endgame if senseable within the world. Makes no sense a dragon in the south does less damage than a wolf in the north
-Less enemy damage. Dying in two hits with 80 VIG and medium armor is BS.
-Tie input-reading to if the enemy actually has a visual on you. Same for projectiles
-Actually develop an AI for NPCs. Stop reusing the same one since fucking DeS. Having to make them damage-sponges with dmg-output unreachable by the player is BS
-Fewer heals. No Regaining Flasks

>>484964119
-No "no-aggression"-zones. I should be allowed to kill whoever if I so choose
-Easier to follow NPC-questlines, less "Fuckupable" stuff
-More transparent reasoning for NPC-motives to actually make informed decisions (e. g. about what ending to chose) on the first playthrough without having to watch lore-videos
-An actual ending cutscene longer than 20 seconds. Doesn't need to be expository but the artistic/minimalist endings you can't possibly understand on your first run are a meme now
-No swamp. Meme. Repeated too often.
-More thought out elevators, More thoughtfull placement/not just for player's convenience,no pressure-plates to step on and no complex opening mechanisms
-Fewer/more thought out, shorter ladders in places where they make sense. Ladders that are not perfectly vertical
-No respecking stats. A well optimized build should be an achievement for the few to put in the foresight
-More potent talisman/ring-effects. No +n versions
-No crafting
-Less trash-loot

how do I get this item?

The bells hidden in pots you have to shoot is cool, I hope if fromsoft keeps making open worlds they lean a bit more into stuff like that

>>484964306
Play a different game made for low iq retards then, fromsoft games aren't for you
maybe stick to assassins creed or some other slop

>>484964626
>The bells hidden in pots
what?

>>484958965
Kill yourself desu

>load up game after patch
>"inappropriate activity starting in offline mode"
>Hmmmm, wierd.
>Load up save
>Black screen for 15 seconds
>*Hundreds of prop breaking noises*
>The ground is gone and everything is floating.

>>484963701
*weapon buffs
*for pvp
in pve buffs are insane

>>484963915
pretty awful list unironically if not bait, if your ideas were put into place these games would be utter garbage

>>484964950
Hanging pots you shoot with arrows around the dlc, filled with bell barrings for crafting mats

>>484964570
get an enemy to shoot the tent, or quit and respawn next to it, the standing up animatino can break everything but it's finicky

>>484964119
>-Fewer heals. No Regaining Flasks
This point is strongly disagree with. Farming grass or blood vials are the least fun parts of Des and BB. I'm not opposed to a middle road like how Nioh does it with only a set number of flasks being replenished though.

Fuck it, I'm clearing my saves. Starting fresh when I've got the time to get back into Elden Ring again. Feels good to detox.

>>484965984
Should have worded that better. You are right. Regaining flasks on rest is superior to farming. But making every enemy deal so much damage to then get a band-aid of four flasks sucks. Just have them deal less damage and remove the crutch.

remember the elden ring mobile game that tencent was reportedly making? looks pretty tight so far, im pre ordering the deluxe edition right now!

>>484962828
Yeah you have to be mad to get to the bottom of that place, it's the entire point

>>484962828
Jump attacks prevent forward momentum when landing.
Use the binoculars when turning.

>>484948736
I picked it up after being stuck on Rellana for 2 days and there wasn't a single dlc boss that I've fought with it that wasn't either fun or easy.

How the hell do I get up there? It's near Temple Town Ruins.

>>484966235
A significant portion of this problem is ER's design. They wanted you to be able to explore without needing to rest and reset everything constantly and that requires a more constant flow of heals even from smaller chip damage. You can see how much they worried about it because they still felt it necessary to add several refills to your Crimson tear flask.

top3 faith/str swords? the bigger the better

Dumb. I just eye ball it and never have any issues.

>>484967173
theres a brap elevator nearby that will get you up on your horse

>>484967576
she takes a long time to die so if you rush to the grace asap atfer killign her, you get the souls but she doesn't actually die so you can repeat it.

>>484967846
So you can keep farming her to overlevel fast?

>>484967665
Ordovis' Greatsword is your best bet I believe
Blasphemous Blade is a given
Fire Knight is also pretty strong
Horned Warrior's Greatsword maybe if you count the faith tax

>>484967968
yes, 75k every couple minutes for as long as you don't fuck it up.

>read thru patch notes of updates since I wasn't playing ER for a while
>saw that they gave the Godslayer GS's L2 hyperarmor cuz "oh fugg, we forgot to"
>use it against duelists using DLC weapons with coldsteel-tier L2's
>Always two-hit them and never get knocked out of hyperarmor
I already mastered this sword when it was "bad" but I'm gonna be a WMD with this fucking thing now

>>484967968
Yep, you need to be on torrent to get to the grace fast enough though

>>484958481
The only people it upsets are fujo/shota gooners and people who didn't pay attention to the lore.

>>484958481
If someone came up with that as a theory before the dlc released they would be laughed at by everyone. There was literally no solid foreshadowing for this. Shit has to be a retcon or fromsoft fucked up setting it up properly

What the fuck is Miquella's Age of Compassion? Just mind control everyone into being nice and happy?
If that's the case, how does it actually cure Malenia, the very reason Miquella turned from fundamentalism and decided to do his own thing?

do I get locked out of anything by burning the turdtree after the fire giant?

Bayle got more hype and build up than Radahn did lol

Is it worth it trying to poison stuff with low arcane?

>>484969535
Radahn has the twintree on his cape.
There are multiple carian things at the haligtree, most notably a carian sword with haligtree amber that was never given a master

I actually did predict it but as a betrayal story, not a cuckqueen story

>>484969993
normal leyndell
it break goldmask's quest if he's not in mountaintop
it break any quests of npcs still in the roundtable

>>484969895
He doesn't cure malenia. Most realistically he'd have sealed away his haligtree and left her in there forever.

>>484970161
What things? All I can remember is Loretta

Will I get locked out of anything if I just bum-rush enir-ilim? I want dane's footwork asap desu

>>484969993
I don’t remember but very few things break when you light it on fire, it’s activating the Rune of Death that is the point of no return for most shit.

>>484970527
no iirc dane shows up no matter what

>>484970527
You’ll get locked out of the quests that are related to members of Leda’s band.
Other unrelated quests are not affected.

is elden ring reforged worth trying

>alt tab while on SOTE
>OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo
they need to tone down the music

>>484970979
not really unless you really like playing rock paper scissors with game mechanics and overtuned bosses

>>484970794
Which leaves you with pretty much Ymir’s questline.
Dragon Priestess ties into Thiollier and Moore if you want the “good” ending.

Some of these are kind of reasonable but overall this is an extremely short-sighted and overall profoundly retarded take, I bet you are genuinely on the spectrum for wanting even half of these things

>>484971559
nope
what about convergence? idk if i want to play another straight vanilla character but the mods seem to be pretty lacking

>>484970979
are they in the 7th layer yet?

Is 99fth or 99int gonna get me closer to the 99arc bloodborne experience?
