ds2 spell randomizer mod.
https://www.patreon.com/posts/magic-randomier-19038313
>patreon
it's a free cheat engine table that modifies the lizard staff and changes the yearn spell into 'metronome' which is pretty much every effect in ds2, ranging from arrow types to the looking glass knight's electroballs. And there's way too many effects that just instantly kill you. Fun to try out offline for a bit.

SL104

I just remembered what this build was about. This was my cleric dex build. I never got to use sunlight spear so I wanted to make a build where I can use it. NG was a breeze because I camped outside Bell Gargoyles and farmed sunlight medals by doing coop. I ended up getting great lightning spear before I rung the first tower.

I know online must be dead for the Prepare to Die, but what is the meta cutoff SL for NG+? I know I'm overleveled for NG

Hey /fsg/. Just going to upload a bunch of webms here for you lot to save because they trigger some tards in /erg/.

it has to do with the "final hit" shit buffed by that one talisman. it's useful for things like morning star that adds a poke but on almost everything else it just makes the weapon worse and less reliable.

He hates Elden Ring but has said many times that there's nothing left for DS3 and everything broken in the game is stuck that way forever. Elden Ring still gets patches and from a practical point of view has more viewers. I just pray that he can find a new game to enjoy and play on his stream.

1) souls will never have balanced PvP, it js the whacky "throw a spanner in the works" gameplay addition. Souls.is nit a competetive fighting gqme, sk it will never receive the time and resources to balance it as such. Patches will never properly adress this (e.g. netcoding will never be fixed)
2) Stop caring about ecelebs, cringey "leave Britney alone" vibes, though I suppose you are too young to realize how cringe that was so we have come full circle.

This. Sekiro and DS3 sold sinilar amount of copies. PvP is of no consequence to From and making it competetively balanced of 0 interest. I used to be involved in feedback/testing balance in guild wars 1, it is a lot if fucking work. From isn't going to bother with that.
ER sold more copjes, but I am not convinced it has anything to do with PvP and has more to do with Fron reaching peak mainstream popularity AND the game being marketted as the pinnacle of the soulsborne games with an open workd to explore and all.

They do that because to them it isn't about the game, it is about them. It is why they so often have "drama" (doxxing and shit like that), they thrive of the attention and being part of something they perceive as bigger than themselves. It presumably makes them feel important.
These people invariably have had unhealthy upbringings. The best option is to wholesale ignore them or talk over them. Otherwise you enter the trap of "drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".
>>
>>486978006
Nope, no scaling based on your level. They scale on NG tier. Not sure what the numbers are though. There is an indirect relationship between scaling and level though, you will be very hard pressed to get to higher SL without being in higher NG, simply due to the soulcost. It acts like a kind of softcap to your level for any given NG tier, assuming you don't just grind and grind and grind.

No /dsg/ had certain ... personalities associated with it. 2023 was also a good time to discuss the likes of LoP, LotF and AC6 when /acg/ died, aside from Nioh. Even Elden Ring if you couldn't stomach /erg/. It was like a slow version of /erg/+/dsg/ with some other games to pad out being a refuge from namefag drama in the other dedicated generals. But /dsg/ became so horrific that anyone who wasn't willing to play ball with the characters there migrated until the original collapsed. This place was a lot better before they had to make this their permanent home. At least it's not as bad now as when noxfsggot started doing his rp here outside of /erg/. I hope he's gone forever.

Could you talk about the game instead of schizo posting
>>
>>486981679
atleast jannies are actually good as of late and delete+ban the faggy personality posts when reported so just be diligent
I also miss a time when the general was mostly talking about games and wasnt filled up with troons using it as their discord channel with audience

atleast when the new souls game comes out this will probably get permanently fixed. also the b team will make it and it will have the rat covenant

You can also find a Titanite Slab in the elevator shortcut to Lothric and Lorian. Activate the elevator and quickly jump out, you will notice that an elevator from further below has appeared. Ride it to the bottom and find a Titanite Slab.

You can also plunging attack the Ringed City ogres and there is a unique animation. They take considerable damage and I think it is the only way to deal with that massive street battle.
>>
>>486992921
ER has tons of enemies that are straight up sleeping and will not aggro until you attack them even if you stand next to them. It's so stupid.

also you can just sprint towards enemies to backstab them for free since they usually cant turn around in time from whatever idle animation they're stuck in

Slow boss that is actually easier in his 2nd phase, how is this no1. You are given literal seconds to get out kf the way if every one of his moves. He also doesn't have that much HP, so it isn't like midir where the attrition of a long fight can get the better of you.

black gulch wasn't supposed to be a level. In the original design there was a completely different and much larger gutter and grave of saints area, but because of development constraints they got shrunk and you ended up with that cancer. black gulch was made in an afternoon by an intern

Well...it's time to finally do it. I went through Dark Souls and Dark Souls II, and now only one is left.

Anything I should know about before starting? Stuff like 'Level ADP'

I'm not sure over what build i'll do. I don't know how different it is from the first two, but in DS1 i went for an All rounder/STR + FAITH build, using the Cursed Greatsword and Canvas Talisman to spam lightning. Also Pyromancy, of course. In DS2 i went for Pure STR, Greatsword + Towershield.
>>
>>487016930
that's what I will do and instead of upgrading weapons/armor I will just spawn them in as needed.

Leveling VIG is way more mandatory in DS3 than in DS1 or DS2. Without spoilers, if you thoroughly clear everything in the first area without losing your souls, you should have enough to get ~10 levels by the time you unlock the ability to level. Dump them all into VIG. More generally, I wouldn't touch any stat besides VIG until you have 20. That'll do you for the foreseeable future and you then have enough HP to not get chunked while being able to level up your other stats comfortably.
Magic in DS3 is a WAY hungrier stat than in DS1 or DS2, if you want to cast offensive spells you have to hard commit to building around it. Hybrid builds aren't really a thing. Or, at least, they're playing the game on contrarian hard mode for the first 75% of the game until you finally get enough levels to make everything work.
Poise does exist in DS3, it's basically a modifier on how much hyperarmor you get while attacking. Heavy armor + colossal weapons = win every trade.
Miracles have a unique gimmick in DS3: the closer you are to the enemy while casting, the more damage they do. The optimal way to cast is to use the talisman's built-in Perseverance Weapon Art to cast point-blank in an enemy's face, oneshot them, and then heal off the damage.
END is your dump stat, unless you're using a colossal weapon. For light weaponry, you start off the game with enough stamina to do basically anything you want.
While rolling is strong, do NOT forget your shield. Enemies are built to constantly chip damage you with cunty fast attacks, and while shields generally can't block giant hits they are invaluable for dealing with this. Trust me, huge QOL boost.
>>
>>487018707
>Hybrid builds aren't really a thing.
Seriously? But I heard that DS3 is where they introduced the crazy weapon skills that let you do shit like animay fighting moves with your sword. I wanted to do something other than Pure STR while still using a sword because that's just the protagonist's choice.

>>
>>487019026
I'm talking about if you want to do a STR/FAI build, a DEX/INT build, a melee/pyro build, etc. Magic requires a lot of stat points. They nerfed early-game casting damage/scaling really hard across the board, until the game is halfway over, you have to make very hard choices regarding your magic damage, your equip load, and your HP/stamina/mana. This is made all the harder if you try leveling STR or DEX alongside it. Weapon arts don't count, if you find a weapon with a "magic" WA just use it with whatever STR/DEX requirements it needs.

They don't? Usually they scale with the stat, no? So if i wanted to go for STR/INT and use stuf like the Moonlight Greatsword, I'd need INT to avoid it not having shit damage.

I think the MLGS needs heavy INT investment no matter what, but it's been a very long time since I played DS3 so I could be misremembering exactly how WAs scale. Your average WA is more of a support move like Perseverance or a flippy Artorias jump than an Exaliblast anyway

Okay, I've just started DS3, got to Gundyr, and for some reason, the game is *really* fucking lagging. Why? I've run games more intensive than this without lag. I've had zero lag in DS1 and DS2, too.

I haven't been cooping but I was doing a perma-embered run of DS3. God it's so refreshing how honest DS3 pvp is, you can actually fight people using your weapons without worrying about getting oneshotted by some gay faggot ash of war or cheeked-up 80 INT/FAI hypermode spell.

I miss how straightforward ds3 was. Open worlds have a difficulty scaling problem. Or the problem with how people can just buff to oblivion in elden ring and how unlike ds3, the spells hurt the same whether you are close to the range of attack or far from it from how I experienced it at least, I might be wrong.

Fucking hell, DS3 is certainly more fast-paced than the previous games. They don't explain shit. They just throw you in, five minutes you're fighting a boss, then they just drop you on lothric without the barest explanation of what to do other than 'go kill the lords and shit'

I have no idea where the fuck i'm supposed to go, and those knights just completely fucking destroy me in combat. My sword barely does any damage. I only have 4 estus.

3: go kill the 4 lords because they are being lazy fucks ibstead of doing their duty-> kill the 4 lords

At least none of them are BB tier. That's a confusing ness if a game. I to this day don't understand who/what micolash is, why we kill him and why he rants about koss vs kosm and wanting to be granted eyes despite having two already.

This applies to every from game. Even in bloodborne the sawcleaver,the starter weapon, is one of the best weapons in the game. Good variation in reach and speed. Excellent beast stat. The trickswitch is one of the best. It is so good most other stuff feels like a downgrade you only bother with for style.
>>
>>487066238
Nta, but my first playthrough I did in a litle over 35 hours then my second playthrough in about 5. Once you know the routes you can skip a lot of trash, you no longer die to ambushes, you aren't exploring for loot and, in my case, you start doing some skips (I felt very cool finding the anor londo winding staircase jumo that allows you to skip the castle). I also took the key as gift, so I could skip into blightown, then do the cliffdrop to get straight to quelaag. Most time on a first blind, for me, is lost on bumbling about and dying to trash mob ambushes.

When the fuck am I supposed to fight this cunt? I'm at the first(?) Genichiro rematch and haven't started Senpou temple, but I think I've done just about everything else to do; I have 4 bead necklaces.
I don't want to waste all the Divine Confetti I have trying and failing to kill him and I really don't feel like farming for more if he's supposed to be a roadblock right now. I can kill his first phase easily enough with anti-air deathblow but I feel like I'm doing no damage on his second phase, even with Confetti. I haven't tried him since I've CONFRONTED THE MEMORY of Gyoubu and Lady Butterfly but I really can't imagine the attack power increase is gonna suddenly spike my damage. I don't have the purple shield tool yet either so I can't easy cheese him.
Any advice? Is it even worth trying to get past him now or am I just gonna hit a wall after him and have to go fight Genichiro anyway?

He ua entirely optional. If you go with confetti bring 2-3, fight him several times without using any simply to explore his moveset.
Alternatively wait until you get the purple umbrella (I forget where/when/how) which trivialises the fight.

Unless you really want the item he drops (item that lets you sacrifice 50% hp for 5 bonus temporary spirit emblems, kinda like how bloodborne lets you sacrifice HP for 5 temporary silver bullets) my advise is to just skip him for now and come back when you either have comfortable amounts of confetti or have the lilac umbrella.

Started Sekiro today. Got to the ogre, forget how many times I died to him but killed I for sure him in less than half an hour. I really don't get how people have so much trouble with him. He's a bit different from other enemies introduced until then but the strategy to beat him is pretty simple, even if you don't use the flame vent. Stay in close/mid range, run out of the way if he does a grab, dodge/deflect if he does another attack, then run in and get some hits in. Not the best way to do it, sure, but hard to see how anyone could fuck it up too badly. How did this one miniboss mindbreak so many people?

I think it is because it has a bunch of hero to zero moves. His WWE kick and Y33t throw have the potential of making you fly of the cliff. He is also the first time you actually REALLY have to adapt to the faster pace sekiro gameplay in which (mini)bosses don't do too much idlestrafing like you see in souls. He goes and he goes hard, you have to heal when he's stuck in one of his animations that you dodged, not when he is between attacks (something you could usually get away with). He is also erratic, kinda like orphan of kos lite.

As someone who played elden ring first and then the older games in order, DS3 has quite surprised me how "dark soulsy" it really is. Somehow I assumed it was an elden ring prototype but it really plays nothing like elden ring does, your movement is so slow and rigid its much more like DS1

I'm quite dreading the late bosses that are supposed to be some of the hardest in the series while my character constantly feels like hes wearing boots made of concrete
>>
>>487173480
it's mostly nostalgiafagging where elden ring gets put under the world's most powerful microscope because of a combination of recency bias, 2 years of youtube echo chamber, content creators, willful poisoning of any and all discourse by internet trolls, and what i can only assume is brain damage resulting from the 2020s tribalist zeitgeist. people will confidently inform you that elden ring is rollslop and then reminisce fondly about ds3 in the same breath, it's insanity. i have many criticisms of the game myself, which i won't bother listing.

demon's souls and the original dark souls are two of my favorite games, and i am irrationally attached to the former, but the complete cock and ball service i see them receive on a near-daily basis is baffling. which isn't to say that they aren't criticized either, but the difference is comical. both the positive and negative things that people repeat about them seem to have more to do with their memory of the games than the games themselves.

what i'm really saying is i just want bloodborne to come to PC.


>>487174814
interesting because you'll often hear people say the opposite, that ds3's player character controls too much like bloodborne's, ignoring the obvious lack of the dodge. i need to replay ds3 again but i'm honestly dreading it because the world design is such a slog.

twitter deserves an honorable mention as well. it's that social media phenomenon of being able to effortlessly find like-minded idiots who will reinforce any opinion you've already formed. you think it's ethically permissible to fuck animals, or that the earth is flat? good news, there's a social media sphere on the internet for you. 4chan is the inverse: there's an infinite supply of people who will disagree with you, but anonymity makes any attempt at critical discourse a potential blind alley. you often only realize that someone is retarded after wasting time talking to them, and declining to talk to them further out of a respect for your already-wasted time is seen as a concession that they "won" and only reinforces the opinion they've already formed.
it's especially bad with fromsoft games because you have no idea how people are actually playing the game. the guy telling you waterfowl dance is bullshit which i personally agree with could be ongbal on meth or DSP on horse tranquilizers, and you'd never know.

i try to remind myself to give positive replies to the occasional good posts i see on this site, even if it's as simple as "i agree with this" or "good post", because i think it's much more common for people to only reply to incendiary or bad posts.

>>487181445
i still don't know how to properly fight dancer to this day. i muddle through the fight without feeling any inherent desire to learn or master it, but i don't blame the boss for that. it's just a personal preference regarding a specific boss.

in my opinion it has too great of an influence on the balance of the fight, causing it to devolve into a fight into waterfowl dance rather than a fight against Malenia. Malenia's aggression and on-hit healing are counterbalanced by her having no poise, relying on hyper armor instead to fend off the player character. as soon as you hit the HP threshold for waterfowl dance, the risk:reward ratio for aggression is instantaneously inverted, and it is impossible to predict this.

if you look at other bosses in Elden Ring and DS3, there's a logical consistency to how multi-phase bosses evolve over the course of the fight. Friede, like Malenia, is weak to being staggered in all 3 of her phases. she merely becomes more mobile. Margit / Morgott are designed to punish the player character for attacking after attack chains instead of during them, like many Elden Ring bosses. in both fights, going from phase 1 to phase 2 merely increases how hard the player is punished for making that mistake. in the Margit fight, he goes from using daggers that only hit twice (and are very weak) to using a sword that is used in 3-hit strings. it ties together the two main lessons of the fight because you're now getting punished for attacking at the wrong time by being caught in his roll-catch strings.

this logical consistency isn't there in Malenia's case. instead of escalating what you're encouraged to do by the design of the fight, it changes the rules with an extremely unintuitive-to-dodge move hidden behind a HP threshold, which makes it both difficult and dangerous to intentionally practice dodging. every time you attack you have to ask yourself "is she going to waterfowl" and pray that you're not caught with your dick out, unable to do the consistent sprint jump dodge. i don't really consider frost pot stagger to be a sufficient answer to the move, because it's more like a clever exploit than it is a fundamental-based answer.

for the record, i beat her again yesterday without using frost pots (despite them being on my bar, they were already there and i ended up throwing one at a random non-waterfowl attack). i just got lucky and happened to only roll waterfowl when i was able to do the sprint jump dodge. waterfowl dance, gaius's charge, and rellana's twin moons are the only moves i consider bullshit in the entire game. and that last one is honestly a meme because it will only kill you once because it's a desperation move which is visually similar to another move that behaves in a completely different manner. so it's just those two moves that have far too much influence on their respective fights.

I don't have a webm, I can only say I really enjoyed his fight while mounted and everyone complaining seems to have done it on foot
> I just don't like horseback combat at all.
I 100% agree with you though, I don't either. But Gaius is different, he's built to actually be fun mounted. He has fun dogfight moves where he charges up to you from behind you on torrent, he has moves you need to jump over like the charge, and moves you need to juke by stopping your gallop so he sails past. It's literally like dogfighting. Also some moves you need to dodge with timed torrent dashes. And as I said, if he demounts you he actually is scripted to punish you for it with a move you can roll, but only if get the timing right and dont just spam dodge while you're on the floor, which makes him supremely fair to fight while mounted (other bosses will just murder you when you get knocked off)

Like I can't overstate this, the boss was actually designed for torrent start to finish unlike any other boss you can mount on. It's what made him fun. I think the devs fucked up not telling the player to mount up here, because everywhere else they had no problems holding hands this DLC
>>
>>487190874
I'll try fighting him on Torrent next time, then. It would be far from the first time I was basically playing Elden Ring wrong and making the experience worse for myself.
