trash the thread already lmao
radahn makes me want to fucking kill myself, and i cant even fucking give up and mimic because they're all fucking bugged
>>489383612Shit OP, you should be ashamed using eceleb garbage as the image.
BASED OP
>>489382938Speculah says it's Daedicar. Not the woman who conceived the man-serpents; rather the inquisitor who was once Rykard's lover. He was mentioned in the flavor text of Daedicar's Woe before it was patched to describe a woman by the same name. The blue robe in the painting is a close match to the Official's Attire and Marais Robe worn by Inquisitor Ghiza and Maleigh Marais, respectively.
>Hosting a tournament on fucking PC where shit like this happensVGH...SO MVCH....KINO...

>>489385249Struggling small Japanese company please understand
Are PvPtards under the impression the PvP is bad only because people make it look bad?No, guy, the PvP is just fucking bad. Get over it.
>>489384987That movement looks sick
>>489385249Also the sleep bloodfiends down there are immune to status because ???????
so much for the tolerant left
>>489383612In serious need of a Miquella/Leda mommy shota doujinshi rn
>>489384987>This is what the 125 meta duel fags push forEmbarrassing.
>>489385494The pvp is fun in the context of an invasion only2 people refusing to attack because 1,000000 Iframes on rolls is lol
>remembered the Cruisable Night but not Bernahl>:^(
>>489385597this page would be funnier without Aseo and Blaidd's speech bubbles.
>>489385696>Cruisable NightWhat
Hello.I love Malenia.
Why didn't they get people that actually know anything about the game to commentate over the PVP tournament?This is painful hearing these people not knowing things like "whats this ash of war" "it's drawstring lightning grease"
>>489385494Invasions are fun. Glad they make you seethe forever.
Elden Ring doesn't do anything noticeably well it's all so middling at best
>>489385754If you're sure about it, Thog it and show the rest of us.
>>489385494Invasions funDuels boringThat's how it is. That's how it's always been.
>>489385872Me too. She deserved a lot more and a bigger focus outside of just being the tough boss From wanted people to talk about.
>>489385494>No, guy,I don't have a soijak for this but know that you're a faggot
>>489385858
>>489385993They're only fun to sociopaths who enjoy taking advantage of people who can't defend themselves. And then you complain about running into ganks.
Face the facts. The DLC was a disappointment. Huge empty areas. Recycled enemies. Recycled bosses. Overtuned final boss. Scadutree fragments are a dumb system. Exploration is often time left unrewarded. Feels like they left this thing half baked.
>>489386158That's a Crucible Knight. What the fuck is a "Cruisable Night"?
>>489386145Uh oh, trigger warning.
>>489385915the people that "know" about pvp have low social skills
>>489384987>this is what duelfags consider 'peak'Should have done an invasion tournament.
>>489386208You're right but a lot of people here made this game their entire personality and will just get defensive about it
>>489386175I see you started crying again. How's your daily dilation session going?
>>489386208I wouldn't know. I never got the DLC. I haven't even finished the normal game yet.
>>489378167Okay, so I had a whole paragraph typed up but 4chan ate my post. I'll have to keep this short. Compare the BKS to the tarnished here. Both are powerstancing greatswords. Who looks like they know how to fight? Who looks like they actually know how to hold a weapon? The tarnished spends most of the fight flopping on the ground desperately trying to avoid the knight's expert sword slashes. When he retaliates, it's clumsy, but works. He's not trying to use some fancy technique, he's just trying to smack the knight with a big sword. He wins because he's powerful and smart, not because he knows how to actually use a weapon properly.I don't think it's just oversight or cost saving because FROM has always made lore then crafted the mechanics around that lore. The original reason why Dark Souls was so punishing was to create the sense that the world was dangerous and unforgiving, not just to be hard for the sake of it. Additionally, FROM did not recycle the animations of many enemies and bosses. They could have, but the animations from Dark Souls were too crude. They didn't fit the supremely gifted demigods like they did our tarnished.
>>489385915nepotism and incompetencethe jews running this tourney don't give a shit about it and see it as a way to milk sponsor money from other globohomo corporations. So they hire some nonwhite retards that don't know shit about the game to feed you audioslop as you watch two third world metamonkeys run around with rot grease shamshirs This is what all of the internet looks like without white people btw.
>>489386328A Knight you can take a Cruise on
>>489386407>no denial of allegations>no rebuttal anywhere in post>troons out of nowhereYep, concession accepted.
So who won the tournament
>>489386407You're only throwing out slurs because the other guy struck a nerve. Too bad you're not rich enough to have a huge collection of classic cars.
>>489386616Daily beatings, huh. That's tough. Hang there, buddy!
>>489386746>boomer carsshouldn't you be crying that your grand daughter is brown, boomer? who lets you use the internet in the retirement home?
>>489386502And it's not like these animations are difficult to implement for the player. Pic related is from a mod released within a week of the DLC that gives the player the Fire Knight moveset when 2handing their sword. You're not supposed to have them, not just because of balance, but because you are not very good at wielding the weapon. You should look at enemies and get a bit of envy from it. The enemies you face will always be cooler than you. Your Tarnished is just a looser in comparison, an NPC who can barely wield their weapon, yet you still triumph against all their anime "folded a billion times technique" bullshit because of your determinism, brains, and runes scraped from their dead bodies.
>>489386208You are right the leakers and doomposters won
>is that a reused enemy!?>AIAAAAIIAIAIAIIAIAIA SAVE ME IM GOING INSANE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>489386746>exactly a minute after your previous postThat's adorable. Tell me more.
>>489386208It brought the idea of Elden Ring to a screeching halt with an uncertain future and dubious legacy
>>489386647chasetheGOD stomped everyone
>>489386379Would be actual kino>select from 1 of 10 premade builds on an edited save file>try to score as many points as possible within a time limit>hosts are worth 2 points>summons are worth 1 point>killing every player in the invasion is worth 1 bonus point>killing limgrave / liurnia gankers is worth 2 bonus points>killing chinks is worth 1 bonus point
Reminder
>>489386208I've tried to see the good in it but every time I do I recall the experience of unlocking a new area just to discover a fallingstar beast and a pair of tree sentinels. The fact that Miyazaki actually said this was pretty close to his ideal fantasy RPG shows he's lost some of his touch by adhering to the open world meme. I don't even know why devs get so mindbroken by open world either, surely it's not so difficult to see it's a way of making a game with potential, but should be approached with a great deal of caution.
/erg/ arena tournament when
>>489386208Nah its the best DLC ever. Go back to /v/.
>>489387406What would the 1st place prize be?
List of unethical items dropped If you use any of these in PvP you are a shitter
>>489387331Has any game in all of vidya's history ever done "open world" right? If so, which ones, and how did they do it?
>>489386502I'll never get over how lame the power stanced GS animations are in comparison to the BK. Why Miyazaki?
>>489386208It's the best DLC FromSoft has ever made.
Ledas futa girlcock.
>>4893875257 minutes in heaven with a threadschizo of your choosing
>>489387525Miquella bath water
>>489387627RDR2 which is what Miyazaki admitted was chasing but failed
>>489386502>>489386907You're a moron
Best POV
>>489387627Morrowind by making the world itself the main character that treats you like just one part of its supporting cast, SoTC by just going all on in the spectacle of emptiness, and BoTW by just being pretty fun and relaxing despite also relying too much on the Ubislop/Toddslop formula.
>>489386002From what I've seen of this manga posted here the dialogue is absolute trash.
>>489387557Lol wow they really don’t want anyone using magic
>>489387557I thought they nerfed the Crucible Talismans?
>>489387873I like how none of you can refute any of my points.
>>489387331>Keep seeing the finger ruins from afar>Finally get to them, holy shit it's a new enemy, there's probably a fucking weird boss or a whole ass gigantic dungeon in the middle>It's nothing, shit's empty aside from a few dogshit crafting materials and I can't even interact with the fucking item in the middle because I didn't speak with the tranny priest NPC>Many hours later, find the second ruins, there's only dogshit loot and a fucking reused fallingstar beast just chilling there because we didn't have enough of thoseSomething within me broke, the open world is a massive mistake and I apologize for calling everybody else a retard for saying otherwise, maybe the people defending the DLC right now will wisen up in a few years, but it was a shocking experience
>>489388026>I like how no one wants to step into my specially constructed fart chamber to try and overpower my farts
>>489385617If we are talking about creativity: Leyndell catacombs, Auriza Hero's Grave/Side Tomb all have unique gimmicks anon. Even the "drag enemies into the light to attack them" count. Those are way more fun than "wait for trap to fall" or "wait for eyeballs to pass", you're just being biased because those dungeons are the only ones you got and, when you have entire areas that are empty in the DLC without a single cave (not even a underground city, no Spiritcaller Cave/Highroad Cave for pretty visuals or even ones that are just to build the world more like Perfumer's Grotto or Academy Crystal Cave? One of the only caves that I can remember is the Rivermouth Cave since it's just the swamp ones you find in the base game like Seethewater River but with blood instead of poison) then I will call them lazy.Cathedral of Manus Metyr has an underground location and you get teleported to somewhere else (also in the underground), but the Finger Ruins themselves has no caves? What's the logic in that?>>489387627RDR2, apparently. But we are talking about 8 years of development and around 370-540 million dollars spent. The difference here, though, is that they focused on making a masterpiece while Miyazaki treated (and still treats) Elden Ring as just another game of their company, a stepping stone of something greater that may or may not ever happen again. Instead of treating Elden Ring as it deserves (an once in a generation type of game) he prefers to move on.
>>489388096keep crying bitch nigga
>>489386208What do you expect from the new blood?I wanted more boss cutscenes and a final boss that wasn't Radahn
You guys wanna play in the /vg/ League? There used to be a /dsg/ team but they're kind of shitting the bed atm https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//dsg/>pictured, their roster of players from 2015This used to be their goalhorn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1UZliGlt8EAnd this was their anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzR47RoKUUYWe could make it a joint venture with /fsg/ and have a two-general team, probably wouldn't be against the rules.
>>489388117How do you explain why the tarnished sucks so hard at swinging his sword in comparison to his enemies without saying>It's just FROM reusing animations to save money
>>489387840>>489388192Dang. I should dust of my PS3 and play through RDR1 first.
>>489386502A couple days ago people were complaining that they were sick of Fromsoft's recycled dumbass animations from Dark Souls, and you argued that your tarnished is a mouthbreathing retard, therefore the animations should be bad. Now when anyone complains about anything, you say that thing should be bad (even the fucking camera) because your tarnished is a mouthbreathing retard... as evidenced by his bad animations.Go on and explain why every single flaw of the game is caused specifically by your tarnished being retarded; I'm sure you'll do the mental gymnastics to justify anything.
>>489388446we don't associate with dsg or fsg
>>489388547he's either trolling or wasting his life arguing on the internet
My tarnished isn't a retard. He casts Comet Azur and moon spells.
Okay that's it, I'm CEing rot boluses and bomb mats. Nothing else though like starlights, perfumes etc. Is this cringe or only a little?
>>489388494Abstraction and balance? What we see in game isn't 1:1 . Balancewise, the player animations are meant to be extremely easy to read in pvp, which is why they're so big and "clumsy" compared to the baddies.
>>489388637Go all the way pussy ass nigga
>>489388637Valuing your time is not cringe. Its perfectly fine to CE any and all consumables and crafting mats.
>>489388494That's the point. We want to stick with the most negative Doylist interpretation on why the player character has more limited movesets than enemies, rather than imagining any more optimistic or Watsonion interpretations. The reason being is that we want to provoke shitposting here to get the attention we're addicted to, exactly like what happens on the rest of 4chan.
>>489388446Oh right, here's a day of play from the last League, a pretty good showcase of what the event's like. https://implying.fun/video/vgl22/2024-06-29/
>>489388612I think it's legit. A troll would come into these treads talking about rollslop and Hackizaki. There's much easier angles of attack.
>>489388793What about the ones meant to be limited like shards, blessings and meatballs?
>>489388937Not him, but I consider them cringe if you use them against normal players. Actual ganks you can do whatever the fuck you want. I don't even care if you chainsaw ganks (RIP chainsaw)Starlight shards against a shitty co-op group is for fags though.Overleveled phantoms don't count as co-op groups btw.
>>489387873To be fair, the two manga versions are also bad fighters who luck into victory.
>>489388192>Miyazaki treated (and still treats) Elden Ring as just another game of their company, a stepping stone of something greater that may or may not ever happen again.see you next game gaijin>>489388937there's no reason to have dumplings and blessings when you're fighting clueless pvers>gankssever out
>>489387525All the Messmer yumes have to let the winner fuck them as punishment/payment for flooding this place with their mental illness
>>489387798Noxtroon so I can strangle him to death.
>>489388096finger ruins and the abyssal woods were fucking laughable. the cerulean coast and the hinterlands were pretty fucking insulting too.
>>489389235lmfao I forgot about that faggot, glad the DLC finally killed him, guy was just too embarrassing to read
>>489389201Aseo's actually a really good fighter when he gets serious.
Why is the extreme scarcity of items in the souls formula even still a thing for a massive open world game beyond equipment carrying capacity shit makes no sense
>>489389216I don't look like Messmer though, I look like the dung eater
>>489389358That's a trope that I really despise. People don't suddenly get good when they "get serious" (meaning, the author Deus Ex Machinas the way out of the corner he wrote himself into).
>>489388494>Explain why this thing is the way it is without saying the correct answer
>>489388096I've lost the will to complete the DLC at Rauh ruins. The entire thing has felt like a slog with just a few little highlights here and there. It's just more convoluted, needlessly confusing cliffs and tunnels with FUCK ALL in them. There's literally like 4 whole useful things in the entire area but it takes forever to navigate.
>ELDEN RING: Become Lord>Elden Ring: Distant Tales BetweenWhere the fuck am I supposed to read them bros, why are they like this?
>>489389216That's why it's a prize for you and a punishment for them
>>489389650>>489389473
>>489389496It's more like Aseo is naturally a coward and hates fighting. He tends to panic and freak out, which diminishes his skill level. Get him mad or motivated enough and he's really good. This is noted when people are surprised at how graceful he can be when practicing outside of battle.
>>489389516No, I'm looking for an in-game justification. Meta arguments are dumb. We can justify anything with them.
They need to add more projectiles that can be used through fog gates for when you invade while the host is fighting a boss. Only one isnt enough.
>>489389358Aseo is undergoing a comedic hero's journey though. Being essentially an amalgam of all naked wretch players and notable memes or jokers that Japan knows about inside and outside their country he will inevitably git gud as part of the more notable achievements that have happened.
They need to bring back chainsaw strat so invades stop being a total joke
>make a souls like without "soul" in the name>its soullessevery single time
>>489389957There isn’t one cry about it People like dark souls so you move like dark souls
>>489390314can't even give you a point for effortapply yourself
>>489389649this is probably cute, too bad i cant read shit
Breeding Miquella's bussy
The way the fanbase discusses ER is starting to remind me of how fans talked about Pokemon after Sword and Shield came out
>>489390483Roderika-chan kawaii
I firmly believe there will be another dlc.
>>489390486gay
>>489387331I think it's pretty telling that Miyazaki is on record saying they don't want to do open world again. They did a pretty good job with the base game, but things fell apart with the DLC hard. I don't know if it was burnout on their end or what, but the quality just isn't the same
>>489390617agree
>>489390276He's already kinda good. Consider that he hasn't died once so far.
>>489388524Never waste your time on any rockstar game.
>>489390624even though they definitively said that there will not be?
>>489390629Sex with Miquella is straight and hetero
>>489390865yes good keep thinking that, now go back to biting the pillow
>>489390550any discourse about fromsoft has been irreversibly poisoned because of elden ring's successon one side, you have newfags who are genuinely just shit at the game or want it to cater to their exact preferenceson the other, you have insufferable nostalgiafags who will call elden ring rollslop and then turn around and praise dark souls 3 in the same breathit's just completely devolved into petty tribalism with people repeating the same lies and misconceptions that get debunked every single time
>>>489385984The Old Hunters was $20 at launch dumb fuck
Why does Hornsent invade you
Don't care, still like Elden Ring
>>489387627Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
>>489391242Because you didn't finish the job of genociding them to oblivion
>>489391242he went hollow
>>489391159DS3 unironically has better boss design than ER
>>489391242So he can drop items for me to invade with, duh.
In my delusions all of Elden Ring is one big elaborate stage play and the moment we log off Meli-Meli goes "okay guys, that's a wrap for today!" They all just hang out and chill and do their own things while we're not on. They're all friends with each other or at least not enemies and have cookouts, hit up a karaoke place, visit the beach together, etc.
>>489390328Bloodborne is kino though.General ranking is usually Bloodborne up top, ER also up top. Then depending on how autistic the person rating it is will depend on whether or not DS2 is last or DS3 is last.
>>489387840Thank God he failed, RDR is dog shit. Rockstar wants their players to have as little fun as possible, and slap them on the wrist any time they go off the rails in the "open" world.>>489391242>curse breaks>the curse breaking changes nothing, i fucking hate messmer more than anything, but i also hate everyone else too>talk to leda>gee, i wonder what hornsent will do when he's avenged himself against messmer and he's still empty insidei wonder
>>489391373DS3 is what some people say ER is. Spastic bosses and enemies that hopelessly outmaneuver you while you are left flailing around with inadequate tools.
>>489391515if you failed to have fun in RDR2 that's literally your own fault
>>489391515>Wow thanks for helping me kill Messmer dude, you're pretty cool>But I'm still angry. Next step is to go kill Miquella instead, you in?>Invades youYeah it all adds up bro.
>>489391386posted it again award

What do fingerprint nostrums taste like?they look like jellybeans and they boost stats like marikas soreseal except by +6
>>489391594Name one "unmanageable" boss in DS3 that can compare to Malenia or Consort Radahn
>>489391594>>489391821Is there any need to put a space after a reply?
>>489391386When we launch Elden Ring it's "positions, everybody!" and they all scramble to hide the lorebreaking stuff like Boggart's Hitachi rice cooker(imported from the Land of Reeds) and the beach volleyball net has to come down quickly as well. Ranni shoves her R18+ yaoi manga under the pile of books on her chair. Tanith helps Rya hide her gaming setup behind a false wall.
>>489391594lmfao DS3 is easy as shit compared to ER
>>489391594yes but to a much much lesser extent than ER. ER bosses will flip around the arena and spend considerable portions of the fight in the air.
>>489391386I want to kiss Nepheli's tummy
Anon really just tried to say DS3 has Maliketh flying away 150ft every 12 seconds to an unreachable pillar to do a spastic anime sword combo for 7 seconds lmao just turn off the computer anon
>>489391386>>489392089after a marathon gaming session when you finally close the game they bitch about you behind your backthey are all good frends with each other but they hate (you)
>>489392204lol no. No ER boss took me more than 4 attempts. DaS3 doesn't have spirit summons or power stancing UGS jump attacks.
Wait I just learned they made buckler better than carens rantthats based
>>489391217It's also worth noting that inflation exists. This is the price of every FromSoft DLC on release, adjusted for US inflation:>Artorias of the Abyss (2012)$14.99 = $20.51>Dark Souls 2 DLCs (2014)$9.99 individually = $13.26$24.99 bundle = $33.16>Ashes of Ariandel and The Ringed City (2016)$14.99 individually = $19.62$24.99 bundle = $32.71>The Old Hunters (2015)$19.99 = $26.50Despite the DLC's flaws, anyone who is complaining about SotE being a bad value for $40 is a fucking lunatic and their opinion can be safely discarded.
>>489392621strfags maybe dishonest about how good str builds are but equating it to summons is retarded
>>489392621you dont need them
just give the player a permanent deflect tear, fix the fucking camera and allow the player to block regardless of off hand and the game improves at least ten fold>b-but muh parryslopThe ability to deflect Zanzibart the God of Sharts with a longsword is far cooler than doing superman rolls on the floor for 10 minutes while Zanzibart continues to perform his normal R1 attack (it's a 165 chain of attacks)>You're not supposed to be cool in these gamesYou're a retard if you seriously think ER is not a power fantasy. The game literally starts with you dead in a ditch and ends with you sitting in the literal throne of God
>>489392621Yeah because you don't need itIt's easy as shit solo, you're just fucking bad
>>489391594you're right but they'll tell you you're wrong. this is the sorry state of things. no one even remembers oceiros's moveset.
>>489392708GOOD THING I BOUGHT IT FROM GAMEBILLET FOR 35 DOLLARS HAHAHAHAGET WRECKED MIYAZAKII GOT VALUE FOR MONEY
>>489392863>personality = the contrarianhere's your (You)
>>489392754gayest weapons to ever grace this series.
>>489392708>>Ashes of Ariandel and The Ringed City (2016) >$14.99 individually = $19.62 >$24.99 bundle = $32.71wow all that money for two tiny areas that can barely compare to shadow keep and jagged peak together.
>>489392863>Oceiros is hard bro
>>489392978the contrarians are the one's going back and glorifying ds3 through rose-tinted glasses. i remember ds3's release like it was yesterday, all people did was bitch and moan that>the bosses are moving at bloodborne speed but you're moving at ds1 speedand now lo and behold the exact same shit is said about elden ring while people who haven't touched the game in years praise ds3 as having amazing "just right" boss design, truly the peak of the series.
>>489393098? Jagged Peak is a linear and empty corridor what did anon mean by this
>>489393137he's hard because you have to beat him for the prisoners chain
>>489392790No anon don't say that you're gonna make that one retard have a melty again
>>489393098Jagged peak is a glorified corridor honestly it should never be praised in the same sentence as Shadow Keep
why is this general so slutty
>>489393264wow, the same people bitching are here in this very thread? !!
>>489393098SotE objectively has the highest price to content ratio of any FromSoft DLC, even if you remove the open world completely and just stitch together the legacy dungeons and side dungeons.>>489393137NTA, but he's most likely referring to his infamous 0 start-up frame charge.
i thought the most recent version was 1.13, why is my ps4 downloading 1.19radahn hasn't been nerfed right? just have him and malenia left
>>489393098Nigger Ringed City is 4 times the content than both those shitty areas combined, Jagged Peak is literally a hallway with 2 bosses in it
Miquella could never be evil or manipulative
YOOOOOOOOOOO THIS GAMEPLAY FIREEE FRFR
>>489392708SotE is bad value compared to the DS2 DLCs. Low quality filler areas are not good value just because they're big.>>489393098Jagged Peak isn't even an area and Shadow Keep is slop.

>>489393710
>>489393729In fact I'd say the filler areas actively detract from the value. I legitimately got pissed off over the time I wasted exploring the Finger Ruins. If anything From should've been the one paying me.

>>489393909Sorry for not finding jumping on shadow goombas all DLC long engaging sis. Glad to hear you had a blast though.
shadow of the shit tree is objectively the worst thing fromsoft has ever made. anyone who disagrees is brown.>>489393916soul overload watching this desu
>>489394046The same goes for Western humour too. "Showing the audience how to react" is literally what laugh tracks are for.
>>489393807It works that’s how I beat him
At first I thought, why the fuck would they put a very specific, Legendary armament at the very end of the DLC, just before the final boss. One that has significant lore value, and a VERY specific mechanic about TWLID - It all points to Godwyn being the final boss.But apparently, this had different pre-release lore, basically saying it was a Twinblade that symbolized two souls, Malenia and Miquella.Why the FUCK would they change this away from Miquella lore into some random ass TWLID if the boss ends up being Radahn. From is so fucking cooked
That anon baiting about the value has to be the moveset and camera baiter it's too eloquent and relevant
Dark Souls 2 still exists and is unbeaten in the absolute shit ass garbage department, sorry
>>489393909Elden Ring is hard to replay though.
>>489393729this guy is right.DS2 dlcs are huge and take more hours than this dlc.you >>489393909 are wrong>>489393926exactly. how hard would it be to add more enemies with drops there so we don't have to farm finger mimics at 0.1% drop rates by trying our best to find enemies
>>489393916>>489394145VGH....KINO...
In the market for a new, off-kilter invasion build, any suggestions?
>>489394471you can start by downloading god2
>>489391242Why does he join Leda after she tried to kill him?
>>489394258right, the difference is a diegetic approach which is interesting. you could probably make a case that the panel format variety/prank/ect shows use too in an example of the differences too, since they're present and involved in a way that even a live studio audience isn't
>>489394386>Why the FUCK would they change this away from Miquella loreBut it still is connected to Miquella, the description literally says it symbolises abundance.
>>489393916based
>>489394074your mental gymnastics won't save you from the fact that SOTE is easily the weakest DLC they have put out. Do you know why something like The Old Hunters is better despite being much shorter? It is dense. Every little hallway is utilized to maximum effect and every boss was perfect (except Living Failures). SOTE has too many flaws. Too much filler, too many unutilized areas, bad bosses, stupid upgrade system, etc.
I liked Abyssal Woods. I think it was cool and fun to explore, and I think it wouldn't get such a bad rap if the DLC didn't have a bunch of other empty areas, which are conversely not cool or interesting in the slightest, and Abyssal Woods gets unfairly lumped in with them.
>>489395050>torrent is fearless in the face of THE ELDEN BEAST but won't come out to face some losers that can be parried to death
>>489395050>It's cool and fun to explore this fucking empty field with only 3 interesting items in it bro trust me don't lump it with the rest of the empty open areas with 3 interesting items in it bro trust me
>>489395050It's not awful but ideally the stealth stuff would have just been a subsection of a legacy dungeon instead of larger than the hut-sized dungeon at the end.
>>489395050It's the worst offender. One recycled BB enemy and a bunch of rats. They couldn't put anything else down there?
>>489395050>zero dungeons>dumb forced stealth>forced to slog through it on footnah dude, lumped and dumped

>>489395050It would have been pretty good if it wasn't for the fact you can just outrun the ""stealth"" section
Seeing Radahn in true form is coolAnd yet I can only sit here as he beats my ass, and think "Why is it Radahn"
What is their endgame?
there were 6 legacy dungeons in the base game. and you pay 60 dollars which is 10 dollars per legacy.in the dlc we got 5 legacy dungeons enir ilimbeluratcastle ensismidras manseshadowkeepthat's 8 dollars per legacy.You better be happy they didn't charge 2 dollars extra, we got a 20% discount!There are arguments for 16 legacy dungeons in the dlc compared to 6 in the base game though. 3.75 dollars per legacy dungeon in the base game according to this and 6.67 dollars per legacy dungeon in the dlc.Also they gave us 100 new weapons to add to the 308 old weapons which has left something to be desired. 19 cents per weapon was the deal in the base game, in the dlc we got 40 cents per weapon. Here they stole 21 cents from us per weapon.There's also the armor issue, 599 armor in the base game for 10 cents per armor. But 145 armor in the dlc for 28 cents per armor.You can see the trend though. We're paying 2x to 3x what we should have. This dlc is worth 16 bucks.
>>489397204nap time
>>489395493Probably
>>489397308Calling anything but Shadow Keep a legacy dungeon is a stretch
Abyssal woods is boring because there are not 20 enemies for me to press R1 100 times at so I have to keep looking at my phone through all of it yikes
>>489397204they're enemy designs that probably had more relevance at one point but that was eventually so stripped out so completely that they were relegated to just being cannon fodder in areas that didn't have a boss assigned yetyou'll have to manufacture your own headcanons about them and their mom
>get radahn to half hp with one flask used>die without hitting him in his second phaseevery fucking time
>HOW DARE YOU WANT TO INTERACT WITH THE VIDEO FUCKING ZOOMER YOU SHOULD BASK IN THE ATMOSPHERE
>>489397614I'm counting everything as a legacy dungeon. adding the minors to the majors. that's why the base game has 16 and the dlc gas 6.areas where you can't ride the horse except abyssal woods
I like it when they don't let you skip areas.even if they're tedious and boring, they shouldn't let you skip them. this is why ds2 was the best.hopefully in the next game you have to fight your way through areas, you won't be able to ride your horse and get away with it
I hate how many runes I have to put into vigour because everything starts hitting like a truck the further along you go.
>>489397204Probably something to do with destined death.
Optimal consumables build?bows and crossbows count as consumables right because they need crafting or reloading?
>>489398310what?
>>489398179Just don't get hit then
>>489398310A bow run is a challenge in itself but it goes hand in hand with consumables since it's better to craft arrows yourself than buy them. I pesonally always have a bow equipped anyway because an accurate ranged option is just so handy.

>>489399348like honey and flower extracts, gotta be presentable for Kindly Miquella after all.

>>489399583Yeah it was pretty fucking suspenseful to avoid getting killed because I had to waste another hour doing the dogshit stealth section and running around killing the reused enemies
I love this axe but I wish you had more options for lightning damage weapons that scaled with str/fth.
>>489399906>another hour doingLiterally impossible to have spent more than 10 minutes on it unless you're absolutely braindead

>>489400038So glad the degenerates that wanted this garbage got BTFO

>>489400038haha imagine if this was his 3rd phase haha
>>489383612What's the best way for a pure FAI build to take on messmer? Just go full lightning and spam knight lightning spear?
>Vyke was a Tarnished champion better known for being the closest to becoming Elden Lord before the arrival of the player protagonist.>Vyke went on to the Roundtable Hold, where he got the title of Roundtable Knight. At a similar time he met Lansseax, and became her most loved knight. So, was Vyke was part of Leyndell's Dragon Cult? But then, how is he a Tarnished? Did the war against the dragons happened before Godfrey was banished? Or is this something that happened after the Shattering? Would fit my headcanon of him and Morgott being allies
>>489400003Yeah no shit I was exaggerating, it's still a fucking waste of time and Midra's Manse is fucking underwhelming except for the boss fight which is literally the only good thing of an area that takes like 15% of the map
Why are you all so mean?
How do you reliable dodge consort Radahn's meteor attack
I don't think I'm good enough to do Radahn with 2 handed light greatsword only. I've been at it like a combined 12 hours and the best I got was like 40% HP left.

>>489400375Because originally Dark Souls was just about a gross, undead normal ass human guy fighting against monsters and gods.Although it's mostly the same, ER has convinced itself this is actually a medieval DBZ anime fighting game. So when half the bosses are anime fights, but you're still the same ugly human dude, you'll start to notice how stupid it is
>>489402492Are you an idiot?
>>489400745Third "phase" should have been something like Orphan of Kos. A cutscene plays where your character steps past Radahn and Miquella's corpses and approaches the Gate Of Divinity. A rustling sound draws the Tarnished's attention. It turns out that Miquella and Radahn consummated their marriage and a half-formed mutant foetal thing rips its way out of Miquella's stomach. The first thing it knows upon entering the world is that its own sires are dead and in its confusion and rage it locks its multifaceted eyes on you.

>>489403987Rakshasa's feels just right for a type B arc build
Apparently seamless invasions do have a phantom bloody finger equivalent — if you use the invasion item again while in an invasion it gives the option to reposition. It also gives an option to mark a world for invaders but I haven’t tested that. Maybe everybody knew this and I’m just retarded but I could swear I’d seen anons bitching about no phantom finger

>>489406070Ruggys for damage and stance if you have the hat, considering it hits twice. Greyolls for the debuffs. It also might get slightly more range.
>>489405654how am i invading everywhere in the world without activating a single summoning pool then?
>>489404468Just deflect the pillars, anon.
>>489404049Pretty sure most people realized how silly it was by Margit and certainly by Maliketh
>>489402381beat himnow for malenia, who is way harder than anything in the dlc, as the final boss of the game
The DLC should have focused entirely on Messmer, Marika, and the Hornsent/Crucible. Three aspects far more interesting than literally anything about Miquella, all of which could have been expanded upon greatly. It also just happens that this would remove all the shittiest areas in the DLC
>>489405654>>489405890>>489406335Invasions work by region, not summoning pool anon. You entering certain areas or going to certain graces activate a region in which you can do invasions in. Summoning pools work for inviting "duelists"
>>489405504I think it's canon that the tarnished isn't worth dirt without the power of runes. But no matter how much he levels up, he won't ever stop slamming his swords into the ground like a caveman.
>>489403987Sure thing.
>>489406252Honestly didn't think I'd find this, thanks anon. Time to make a cutie pie fuckdoll.

>>489403987The last two are works in progress cause I haven't gotten to the DLC on those yet
>>489406545But the effigy specifically states that you only invade areas where the summoning pool is activated?
>>489406645This is why I like the banished knight sword. It ends its attack in a cool "I'm ready to stab someone" position instead of smacking your poor sword into the ground, which gives a momentary illusion that the Tarnished actually knows how to fight (they don't, almost all animations save for the katana and curve swords are just wild flailing).

>>489406416My stamina is the big issue right now. I can deflect his patterns with the pillars fairly consistantly, but I'm running out of stamina and getting guard broken on the longer strings. But I'm probably going to just give in and use a shield in another hour or two of this. I just want to be done with the DLC already.
>>489407309Speak to me like I have down syndrome. If I use the effigy to invade near and far, it states that it only works on activated summoning pools. Is this not the case for the near and far setting?

>>489406335>Limstellahey you don't suppose uh....
>>489407207That's ultimately a good thing. Elden Ring is badly regressive coming from Bloodborne/Sekiro and Bandai Namco is likely much to blame compared to Sony/Activision. The sooner FromSoftware distances from them the sooner we can see what they do independently again.
>>489407775You shouldn't be running out of stamina so much then, 40 is more than enough. If you're losing stamina on deflects its because it wasn't clean. Just keep at it, you'll get his ass.
>>489404049You are supposed to notice it. Tarnished is supposed to feel much weaker and less skilled than his foes. You're supposed to feel on the eternal back foot, badly equipped for the impossible odds before you. You're tiny, you can't wield a weapon properly, and everything threeshots you. The tarnished is basically the ultimate underdog.>>489407207They bought the IP specifically so it would not be milked. Elden Ring is over, and it's all the more sweet for it.>>489388547The animations aren't bad. They serve a purpose, they tell a story, they create atmosphere.

>>489408969this but replace dunkin with elden ring and bagel twists with dlc
>>489408723What makes more sense, that Miyazaki, the guy who made Dark Souls and many other masterpieces, and is known for adding mechanics that assist in his world building, intended for the tarnished to be proficient but gave him the animations of a zombie, or that the tarnished is supposed to be, as is implied by his animations, pretty shit and gets by on the raw power of runes and saviness?
>>489408726Drop lightning scorpion and turtle for phys + holy resist talismans.Make sure to have the greater holy resistance buff.Try using Frozen Lightning to frost him so you get a damage buff.
>>489408069what about mages
>>489409325They raised the price of the DLC to $3?
>>489406334What if you don’t have the hat? And does Ruggy’s have poise?
>>489409437You'll never be as good as Ofnir, Ranni, or Rennala/Rellana.
>>489409612Bro really tried to sneak Copenir in there
>>489409347They have the animations of a hollow because they are recycled animations of a hollow dumbass comparing greats/colossals and Milady blows apart any credibility of your baiting
>>489409612i can cast their spells just fine though? i'm better than the two masters too since i don't get infected by glintstone either>no thops mentiongood to know you're a poser
Now that the dust has settled. is the fromsoft questline model good or bad?
>>489409770Ofnir has way more memory slots than is possible for a player to get and an 80 in both FTH and INT. He is way beyond a first run player and is only so easy because pure casters are shit against melee bumrush. If you fight him as a caster and avoid using frenzied burst to snipe him, he's actually decently hard.
>>489409846It needs tweaking when put in an open world like Elden Ring's. I get that they want the game to be a communal experience where you don't really experience everything in one go unless you discuss the game with other people, but all it really does is force you to look shit up, especially considering you don't know if you'll be missing something that's good for your preferred build, and the majority of people aren't going to care and will just wiki shit anyway because they aren't going to replay a 100+ hour game if they miss something.
Literally everyone in the lands between but me is retardedAnd I wanna clarify that I am BEYOND retarded
>>489410060The actual reality is that magic is gay and a big moron with a big hammer will BTFO any gay wizard any day of the week
>>489409846It only worked in contained linear worlds and even then was still anemic and fragile. It simply doesn't work in open worlds with too many arbitrary variables.

>>489410923uh gay
Okay after 2.5ish years I beat the DLC and Malenia so I can finally move on to do five fucking NG+s to get all the endings.I did Dex+Faith, switching between Godslayer Greatsword and Golden Order Greatsword in the main game depending on if the enemy was holy resistant or not, then powerstancing them with Fire Knight's Greatsword or Greatsword of Damnation in the DLC. What are some cool weapons or builds I should consider in my next runs?Also what do people do/skip in NG+ runs? Obviously there's a lot of stuff not worth redoing, but it's also kind of cringe to just skip everything.
>>489409846It's shitIt's just shit, no matter what. All from quests are just cryptic pseudo fetch quests that if at some point you forgot (because you first met the NPC 400 hours ago) or accidentally go to the wrong place will result in non descript fails.It's fucking ASS
>>489411061shut up nerd

>>489411061>Also what do people do/skip in NG+ runs? Obviously there's a lot of stuff not worth redoing, but it's also kind of cringe to just skip everything.If you're going straight for endings you might as well just kill two of the bosses to enter leyndell plus do whatever else you need for the ending and nothing else. Obviously if you missed any content and want to play it, go do that. Maybe if there's a boss you found particularly fun go out of your way for it.
>>489410992I want you to read the description of the small red effigy
>>489411061Skip everything and speedrun the final boss until NG+7 like a real man, then do other endings and full clears.
>>489410683Magic is better outside of boss battles, but in them, you'll spend 95% of the battle in melee unless you've got a summon.
>>489411285you're supposed to cast pest thread spears on its legs till it drops then repeat when it stands up

>>489410923Varre is unironically trash taste, I've seen so many people get caught up on the voice and miss everything else. There isn't even any potential there
>>489411529I still say they should remove hardswapping. It does nothing but promote a really faggy culture around carrying 40 different weapons and talismans to swap to at a moments notice.
>>489411529>scott jund uses cancerous mage build with predictable resultsbad timeline>otz uses tooth whip to grief and drag scott downgood timeline>scott wins anywaybad timeline>also brandon's here tooin total, net negative outcome
Which int/faith spells are worth using besides that new Putrescent Knight one?
>>489411369Well, I figure there are probably bosses which I found easy (and thus lame) with this build that I might find harder with other builds, or vice versa. So it might be a shame to skip say, Metyr, even if it seemed really unimpressive when I fought it, because maybe it's a lot better with a different build or even just with increased tankiness from NG+.But on the other hand I assume something like Regal Ancestor Spirit is probably never interesting so simply doing an all remembrances doesn't seem right either.Maybe all demigods, Midra, Bayle, and Placidusax?
>Progress NPC's questline far enough that you're acquainted and likely friends>Stop right there and not take the next step that causes them to randomly die/fuck off forever/go le crazyIs there any reason not to do this?

>>489411584>competitive summon sign>I'll only be summoned toYou're almost there
>>489412072You miss out on gear and Miyazaki is mad you didn't experience his heckin cynical masterwork
>>489411991Golden Frisbee, that's it. The rest are shit.
>>489411991triple rings of light and a few of the ghostlfame spells are pretty good
>>489412117Holy damage sucks in PvP so it's gimped anyway.
>>489411991The magma one that's a delayed explosion
>>489411991Radagon's Ring of Light and Roiling Magma are funOrder's Blade is the best buff for Treespear if you use that

>>489412072Literally all you have to do is talk to both Moore and Thiollier to receive the black goop>but Moore's cookbookscan still be collected after Miquella's charm is broken, as long you don't tell Moore to kill himself. Anyone telling you that breaking Miquella's great rune causes quests to fail is lying. Even failing to get the black goop from Thiollier only locks you out of one of two options for the dragon priestess quest (the inferior one, if you don't care about spirit ash summons).Like it's straight up just a lie. I don't get why people lie about it constantly.
>>489411991Discus of Light is probably the best spell in the game
>>489412449>Holy damage sucks in PvP so it's gimped anyway.You mean pve, holy damage is the best damage type in pvp
>2 years>still no patch to add alterations to Malenia's Helmet and the Elden Lord crown without hair>like 2 months>still no patch to add an alteration to Ansbach's helmet to remove the beard
I'm sucker for sequels where the villain is the old protag, An Elden ring 2 set in post frenzied flame ending would be so fvcking zased...
>>489412117The problem is that 2h GH sucks ass.1h Sacred with Sacred Blade has 1000+ AR with a better moveset.
>>489413065I don't want an elden ring sequel at all
What's are fun pvp stat combos that allow for a bunch of different fun weapons? I'm pure arc right now and the dragon communion spells are getting a bit tiring with how op they are.
>>489413170They have literally never made this much money in their entire lifetimes. They will double dip.
Weird how Radahn doesn't really feel final boss-ish at all. What is with his two phases that shares a singular HP bar sorta thing. Even Mamamia the blade of Morazilla has two HP bars, hell the fucking Scoobydoo avatar has three for some fucking reasonI guess even From knows that they made him too bullshit so they can't afford to make his fight longer
>>48941327640 on all
>>489413065>ER2God please no. Dump Elden Ring in the trash where it belongs next to DaS3 and make something new that harkens back to DeS/DaS/BB in design and structure while modernizing the controls and mechanics.
>>48941327624/22/45 allows you to use pretty much all ARC somber weapons, and deal decent damage with any Occult infused weapon that has some bleed.
>>489413423He has more hp than malenia.Malenia has 2 hps because she is reborn mid fight as a rot goddess
Trying to mimic Godfrey's nose scars, how's this?
>>489413021the amount of wasted potential with the alteration system is just immense.
>>489412859No, Holy is bugged in PvP. Buffs don't affect it at all. It's the worst damage type in PvP.
>>489413394I don't care if they printed more money than the US does, I don't want an ER sequel and neither should anybody elseThe world already had enough of Dark Souls 2
>>489412859>holy damage is the best damage type in pvpNo, that's lightning. Tarnished have naturally critically low lightning resistance and it's amplified even further if you happen to be in a puddle or it's raining. Holy meanwhile is bugged making it one of the worst choices.
>>489413850My hate is given more fuel with Messmer's helmet having this option
>>489413850That kinda just describes Elden Ring overall
I literally laughed out loud when I saw the fucking blender animation justifying Radahn's comeback at the end.I can't help but feel this entire DLC is just a terrible joke
>>489413784why are you pale
Why is so insanely fucking sexy.
>>489412727In PvE, sure.
>>489414657Sorry i came to mohg mid sentence
>>489414652Are you an alien???
Are the lightning axes any fun? Which one would you recommend?
>>489414652Why would I want to play a nigger in an European-inspired-and-based setting?Actually, why would I play a nigger in the first place?
>>489414905I found the small one to be more useful, it's much easier to land the skill and it triggers multihit talismans making the damage go really high.Just avoid using the dual moveset since it sucks.An offhand like a Great Katana goes really well with it (L1R1 is a combo and doing Blink + L1 catches people off guard).
Finally beat the Knights of the Great Jar, after the game forced me offline. I know I didn't beat the game, and now I never will.
>wasting hours of my life making a joke build for stormveil>wasting hours of my life getting the joke build to the DLC>wasting another hour of my life farming a helmet to minmax the joke>so i can waste hours losing invasions with it
>>489407207I mean if it's animated that'd be great but the thought of anything ER in live action makes me genuinely nauseous so I hope people weren't talking about that.
>>489414905I used both for most of the DLC. I prefer Haft Axe, but I also prefer Great weapons in general.It has the moveset of the Halfmoon Axe, the one the Exile soldiers carry. AKA it's a really good moveset. The Skill is very cool with one shortcoming. If the enemy is in the middle of a heavy swing and it hits you mid air, you'll get knocked down and the entire animation ends.The Dual Axes I'm not a big fan of. The moveset is very janky. It has a cool triple hit combo for the finishing Heavy chain, but chances of you ever getting that off are slim. I mostly was just spamming R1s. It has really pathetic range being a short 1H axe. It's skill tracks weirdly. You'll end up behind the enemy sometimes and miss out on significant damage. I just beat Ronald using the Haft Axe. I was using the skill to avoid some of his chains or big moves and get some solid damage in. It's lightning too, so the only annoying shit to use them against are Ancient Dragons
>>489415027because you are one you little shit>>489414905big axe for general use little axes for L2R2 spamming
>>489414494sad but true
>>489414652A woman this white is surely built for the most Scarlet Rotted of Caelid
What's a normal level to be in Caelid or Altus plateau? I just finished up Liurnia, probably visited half the sites total + the underground and I'm only 53. I have a problem with being constantly underleveled in the latter part of the game.
>>489414826the only relevant part of the game, yeah
>>489416619Leyndell is like ~80, level accordingly.
>try the camera fov mod>have clarity>cancer enemies like tree spirits go from being a DPS check to actually being kind of funWhy the fuck do so many people defend the camera? Are you just allergic to fun? Do you think that anything that makes the game harder makes it better? This shouldn't be a git gud issue.
>>489416846>I CHEATED>game becomes easierI wonder why. The camera is another aspect of skill, just like spacing. Learn when to lock on and lock off and how to manually aim it. The camera isn't the problem, you are. GIT GUD.
How the FUCK do I play this game with anything other than light load?
>>489416846All fromsoft defenders are people whose only achievements in life are listed on their steam profile. Because their self-worth is derived from how good of a gamer they are the games they play must be very hard and they must be good because they are very hard. All critiques about those games are attacks on their character as a person, all complaints about difficulty are chances to establish their superiority through mockery of those they deem inferior. Shit person behavior.
>>489416846Can you imagine being the ass end of the divine beast dancing lion and fucking shaman girls while the guy in the front does all the work
>>489415948Miyazaki doesn't see it that way since Elden Ring was conceived of as just another stepping stone to his perfect Western-style fantasy RPG, but they had already made six games before this so it should have been the perfect opportunity to make Dark Souls but bigger and better than ever before. What exactly did the team learn from this game? Because I don't think the next entry is going to take much inspiration from it at all. As someone once said, many other series have come a lot farther in fewer tries.
>>489408586nice
>>489417193Is that ansbachs chest piece?
>>489417193based
>>489404558yes. ds3 brought in all of the sweaty and control freak faggots en masse.i remember getting wrecked several times going through undead burg when i first played ds1, and i enjoyed it each time.
>>489416846First, the camera is meant to be intimate, hence the lower FOV in comparison to Sekiro.Second, you're not supposed be locked on the whole time. Learn when to put the camera into manual.Third, you're supposed to feel overwhelmed. If you have attacks coming from all directions and you can't tell what the fuck is happening, that's purposeful and a failing on your part (see the second point).In short, git gud. The camera is a skill in ER. It's no longer babby mode like Dark Souls or Sekiro.
>>489416846>muh camera>muh lock onholy kekthe true signs of a shitteryou plebs have this cope with ninja gaiden tooironically, you need to git gud
What stats do I bump for maximum death Knight longhaft axe damage?
>>489418395Anus diameter.
>>489417202they're just gonna keep stumbling forward until the legacy cruft overwhelms the whole project. they still cant even scope these games properly even after making them for 15 years
>>489416846>using modsyou didn't get good. are you one of the retards to complain that Radahn is too hard 1 on 1 in melee?
Zweihander or Messmer Soldier Spear for waves of darkness? Zwei has higher AR but needs more end for the weight. Spear's reqs allow me to use Rabbath's Cannon too. Int build.
>>489418395dex and int
>post about the camera being UNFUN>say it's much more fun if I can pull back the camera so I can see what the enemy is doing>get told to git gud by everyoneYou see, this is what I'm talking about. This is cult behavior! You people are in a cult!
>>489418725spear
>switch to shield and lance>kill him in 2 tries instead of a dozen+ hoursDon't even care anymore, fuck that nigger Radahn. Completely killed my desire to immediately play the game again.
what purpose does killing the volcano manor guys at all, lore wise
>>489418981all of the third worlders are getting on right now so the thread is immediately going to hell
>>489419121They're Elden Lord contenders like you, Tanith wants to destroy the Golden Order.
>>489405738he shouldn't have had melee attacks other than grabs. it should have just been frenzy spam (add several more attacks).he also should have been malenia difficulty since he's a frenzy lord.
>>489405335needs the helmet.it's one of those sets where it can't be improved by mixing.
giant hunt or impaling thrust for halberds?
>>489419783giant hunt
>>489418981I too love it when any complaint with the game is met with a "git gud." Like I complained about the music being boring, and get a few people telling me that I have a skill issue. It's really gotten out of hand and difficult to have any discussion at all on the mechanics other than blindly sucking off Miyazaki.
>>489416846>>489418981literally (you) and everyone else who complains about the camera
can you coop and invade with randos with the seamless coop mod?
>>489417495yes
>>489417141It’s insane to me the people who defend bad game design in a desperate attempt to pretend they’re good at video games. Just because something cancerous can be overcome doesn’t make it any less poorly designed.
Doing Godfrey/Rad/EB after Radahn is like some sort of fucked up culture shock that is definitive proof that hard =/= good.Also I forgot how many moves Radagon has. Dude can control crazy lightning spells combined with Gold spells, he was probably insanely strong.Also fuck you Ranni fags. Age of Edge has arrived
>heh I've been waiting 4 hours to get summoned, but now with this new redchud killer build I'll finally be able to get revenge for the scarlet rot twink that raped me in stormveil!!!>PREPARE YOURSELF REDCHUD, FOR IT IS I, gayfurrypedo1995 THAT SHALL SPELL YOUR DOOM>s-shit fuck hold on you're not supposed to attack yet NO STOP NOOO PLEASE STOP OH MY SCIENCE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL I CAN DO MY HECKIN EMOTES STOP YOU FRICKING NA-ACK
>>489420578>default ending recolorfia simps getting what they deserve
>>489420561I've played plenty of FromSoft games and the camera is rarely an issue for me anymore, so I guess I've "gotten gud" at camera unlike you? Honestly it's not that hard. From gives you all the tools you need to succeed. The camera is perfect. Gives you just enough info to figure out what's going on but won't give you everything and thus trivialize the game.
>>489419286none of them have even 1 great rune, they're not a threat
>>489420395>invadeyes>coopsort of but not the way it is in vanilla, sessions are between people who set the same pw in an ini.

>>489416846Dancing Lion's camera is undeniably bad
What quests break from from beating Morgott in Leyndel?
Mp would be so much better if we had voice
>>489420561>>489417141>>489416846Stop locking on giant enemies already.Lock on has made 80% of players genuinely braindead.
>>489421509It's doable in Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and even DS3 but in Elden Ring the camera is too close and the enemies just jump around too fucking much.Like in DS1 I basically never use lock on, but in Elden Ring you don't have much of a choice
>>489421748>Like in DS1 I basically never use lock on, but in Elden Ring you don't have much of a choice sounds like a massive skill issue
>>489422342>gib gub! gib gub!!God shut the fuck up. It's just the truth.
where are the dancing lion no lock on webms
>>489422436Gonna agree with the other guy. The problem with you and the other whiners is not your build, nor the enemies, nor the camera. It's your mindset. You've picked up a lot of bad habits and you're having an awful time because of them. If you want to succeed you need to start to look for openings while you're being attacked, learn to manually control the camera so you can focus it on what will actually give you a read of an enemy, and be ready to react whenever difficult opponents enters their "neutral stance".
hey ladsgoing to jump back in to do the dlc now I've got the chance, just wanted to ask does it add any new weapons/spells/etc to the base game areas or are they all in the new zones?
>>489423376Again see: >>489417141
>>489421373onegai...
>>489423376These exact same complaints happened with the original release, turns out people just needed time to figure out the bosses' openings. Elden Ring bosses are more learny, that is all there is to it. Like most people thought Malenia's WFD was impossible to dodge until Ongbol showcased the runaround dodge. Pretty sure in a few months time, everyone will be talking about how easy it is to no-hit Radahn.
>>489420578i just don't like radahn. i find malenia harder since i'm not good at waterfowl and i don't like cheesing with a pot, but she's still fun as hell. radahn is a stilted stick puppet that doesn't stop swinging at your face; he looks terrible and it's boring.i like hard + fun.
>>489424226this is also why i'm sad messmer needed to be mandatory midway through the game. i wish he had like twice the health. he's fun and looks good.
>>489420360this comic is only applicable to fire giant, he is indeed designed with it in mindnot so for dancing lion or fagdahn
>>489424097People are talking about the lock on, dumbass
>>489423603all the new stuff is in the dlc. don't forget to explore and collect those skibidi fragments
>>489424226Waterfowl punishes greed, bad positioning or overcommitment. Radahn's cross slash punishes not hugging his left nutsack. Such a shit boss it's unreal.
what does that mean
>>489421373Nothing. You break Latenna's quest by entering mountaintops before finding her.
>>489424849It's meta commentary about how souls players are shit eaters who consume whatever Miyazaki shits out shown by Dung Eater's face being of one of the biggest speed runner's.
went through the subterranean shunning grounds for the first time today. holy fuck I got lost so much. also fuck basilisks and fuck the little rock imps.

I wish you could see Seluvis's face when you tell him Nepheli drank the potion and he's all excited going into his room only to find Dung Eater farting in there
Sekiro zooms out when you fight large enemies. Stop simping. Miyazaki will not fuck you.
>>489425778It's funny that there are so many complainers on here. I guess leddit is more hardcore than /erg/ because any complaints about bosses or cameras is dogpiled with git gud.
>>489425778Intentional design. The Tarnished is too untrained to zoom out the camera. Miyazaki is a living legend you vappa.
Sorry if this is a dumb question I'm still learning60 int with 300 scaling40 int with 300 scaling Would 60 do more damage or does it entirely rely on scaling
>>489425971I'm guessing you mean incant scaling, and if so, incant scaling would be the relevant stat in this case.Some ashes of war scale directly of your INT, however, so the one with 60 would deal more damage with those ashes.
>>489426292That or sorcery scaling, spells specifically
>>489425778This.
>>489424746>all the new stuff is in the dlcthanksnow just need to decide whether to start a brand new character or try remember how one my old ones worked

>>489426572happy trails. remember the skibidis

>>489427469most of the visual designs come from berserk and various rpgs/card games.
>>489424097Challenge trannies were the worst thing to happen to souls. Now nobody can form an opinion without parroting whatever their favorite eceleb says.
>>489428384yes, because it made it more challenging and it added a very random element to it since humans. sometimes they let me win on purpose, other times not. most invaders were "fair" overall. if i didn't like it, i could simply play offline.
>>489425945>the little tuft of pubes sticking out of the panties
>>489428943only thing missing is a hairy pit angle
>>489428995dude gross
>>489428613I don't know what more people want. I don't know how many times I've fucking beaten the bosses by this point, with so many different builds. But apparently I'm still not allowed to criticize the game.
>>489428761I am not avert to pvp in souls games at all either, and id much prefer it when reds could invade you when youre simply a human, but i never liked these griefers who show up with gears that are clearly from late game, and even worse in the old games where weapon upgrade didnt matter. Its not a challenge if i literally, theoretically and mathematically cannot defeat one of these guys. I remeber in my earlier days i ran into a jackass with +15 chaos bandits knife and +10 thief set. I do double digit to this guy, even on backstabs. The best bet was gravity, but he knows it too. It ended when he inevitably got his backstab on me. Very one sided, boring, and i swore then onward i would never do such a thing to another human being.
smithing stones should level the class of the weapon not individual weapons there is literally no purpose to the upgrading system
>>489429465Nah that's also retarded.
>>489403987Elden Ring fucking sucks massive nads. Never before has FROM scorned being a fat fucker with a giant hammer more than they did with this game.At least I got my Smough charge. Too bad it sucks.
Wait whatYou can chain cast after other stuff right the first hit of Dragon Claw?
>>489429619>Never before has FROM scorned being a fat fucker with a giant hammer more than they did with this game.Giant weapon jump attack spam is the easiest way to play the entire game. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>489429495what then
oh you got a new weapon haha? sorry you cant use it enjoy
>>489429863Bro your 10 different finished builds for using everything?
>>489429734Maybe if you dual wield them like an utter faggot on a minmaxxing build. This fucking hammer at 66 damage only does roughly around 200 damage more than a goddamn katana while being slow as fuck and hyperarmor not meaning anything in either PVE and PVP when random attacks from bosses or other players can poise break you easily when they very obviously shouldn't.

What's the correct answer to Diallos's question? Did he save them or did he not?
>>489418981These games are about being hard. People who complain about the difficulty are like people who go to a Thai restaurant and complain about eating rice and noodles. The struggle is the point.
>>489432551I do this. It good
>>489433063the weapon art isnt working on it help
nvm im a fool
>>489432930These games were never about being hard, games are meant to be fun. You retards have really lost the plot, this is a video game not an epeen certification course.
>>489433216If the WA isn't working it's because you don't have the stats to wield it.
>>489433453yea i thought it was the 2h warning but no hehe

Why did Morgott hate Mohg so much that he didn't even try to reconcile with him? Morgott even left a seat for Rykard and Godrick, but didn't even mention acknowledge Mohg by name in that cutscene.
>>489435081he's homophobic and victim blames
>>489435062Im very happy holy damage is actually useful in the dlc. The hammer got shafted in the base game
>>489435081Morgott is based and racist and Mohg is a nigger omen who fucks kids
I'm still not seeing how Miquella's primary motivation went from:>healing Sisto>I'm going to become a god to atone for Mom's sinsLike Miquella's overarching goal in the basegame had been healing Malenia. He got involved with Golden Order Fundamentalism and eventually left it because he wanted to heal Malenia. He grew the Haligtree because he wanted to create a new order and heal Malenia. And then doesn't mention her once in the DLC because now his goal is something completely different.I guess he's just schizo like that.
>fixed deathblight perfume>fixed spirit ash scalingMeh
>>489436242>ledas hammer remains untouchedPls tell me that its fixed
Consort Radahn has become one of my favorite bosses. After fighting him for dozens of hours, you really see the beauty of his movement and it becomes the best dance in all of Soulsborne.
>>489429619>Never before has FROM scorned being a fat fucker with a giant hammer more than they did with this gameWorks on my machine
>>489436424They literally only mentioned the perfume skill.
>>489436138>tries to grow haligtree>fails>tries to give brother a true death>fails>tries to restore dead demigods' souls with the eclipse ritual>fails>tries to heal malenia>fails>tries to grow up / decide whether he has a Y chromosome or not>fails before he even began>decide that the only logical course of action is to become a god so you can rewrite reality instead of failing everything you try for inscrutable reasonsmakes sense to me
>>489436539This is a great example of knowing when to release the camera. If only the camera crybabies would actually bother learning basic game mechanics, then this general would be far better off.
>>489430315Nta but jumping L2 with colossal weapons have laughable posture damage. You will do more damage yes but these things are really fucking heavy. >>489436539Youre using a greathammer. Hes using a colossal hammer. Colossal weapons fucking blow in this game. >>489429619Literally only beat radahn with the same weapon because of deflect tear. Colossal sisters, how do we even cope?
>>489387557>Banned death magicLmao
+12 flasks don't heal enoughagree/disagree
>>489436835>You will do more damage yes but these things are really fucking heavy.Luckily, we have a physik for that.
>>489436895It's not that they don't heal enough, it's that your tarnished sips it with no urgency. It feels like Dark Soul 2 all over again.Also replaced all my healing flasks with Heal from Afar because it's faster and heals more on my build anyways.
>>489436835just use a better colossal weapon
>>489436138What most people don't understand is that Miquella IS kind. He amasses power not for his own ego nor ambition, but to make the world a better, gentler place. You are right that he has failed in every single thing that he tried to do - curing his sister from the Rot, helping his brother did a true death, growing the Haligtree. You can see how frustrating that is, having good intention yet powerless to follow it through. So in the end he decided to abadon everything, all for the sake of ascension, to become a god, powerful enough to help his sister, brother and everyone in the worldIt is a tragedy
>>489436138And then Miq sends her to war with Radahn to kill him by any means necessary, while he abandons her and the Haligtree to make off with Mohg all for the sake of his schizo plan.
Does your tarnished support this?
>>489436835>Colossal weapons fucking blow in this gameYou what? Even if you're not playing them optimally, they're fine. Far from the best weapon, but they're fine.
give me one (1) reason not to cheat infinite smithing stones after I get all the bell-bearings
>>489436895Back in my day, we only had 5 estus...
update?
>>489436935Yes of course you have that, but my point is colossals are so gimped in this game you have make so much accomadation just to make it somewhat usable. Also not to mention the entire moveset is even more dogshit when dual wielded.The whole thing about stance break? You can achieve pretty much identical results using a different setup, like two great hammers. In fact the entire greathammer class pretty much invalidates colossal weapons.>>489437118Very based
>>489423376>>489422342>>489421509>>489417000Woah... so the Loran Camerabeast... was a Loran Skillbeast... all along.... woooaahhhh
why does putrescent knight have orphan of kos's placenta
>>489438279time is convoluted
>>489437671Oh nigga, i use them so much i literally dedicated one character to only using them - before patch 1.04 which buffed their moveset. They are not fine, because they dont really have a niche they excel in. There are two things they have that should be their strength 1)damage 2)posture damage. Except the damage they have is nothing to write home about, because smaller weapons can easily achieve the same level of damage by powerstancing and buffs, without having to use the dog ass moveset. Their posture damage is also shite, because save for a few specific ones, CW posture damage is roughly the same as greathammers, which have a much better stats requirement and moveset.Thats also not to mention there are a lot of colossal weapons that have really odd stat tax. The dlc introduced 5 colossal weapons, and 4 of which are holy damage with faith tax... And the last colossal weapon is an arc weapon. Lastly their AoW selection is pathetic.Their weight to damage ratio is ass, their moveset is slow and awkward, and worst of all their damage and posture damage is nothing special. I can mathematically break down why they suck, despite beating radahn on two different characters using colossal weapons.
>>489437118You didn't beat the game
>>489438821Hear me out: just give them a significant boost to their hyper armor damage negation and a minor boost to their charge attack MVs. Turn them into trade / facetank weapons, since their normals are so slow that you're often forced to take trades.Also bring back spears' sweet spot.
>>489393839If only.
>>489439080Id much prefer if it was a weapon that rewards positioning and timing. Problem of course being right now there is no reward for proper timing and spacing, especially in the dlc. A lot of bosses have punishment windows that simply do not last long enough for colossals to have their most damaging attacks. And their smaller windows for damage dont have enough time for colossals to do light attacks either. If you do, you often have to take an attack outside of your HA frames. Worst yet, there is zero priority given to you when you do land a big attack. In souls a lot of enemies get knocked down or back by heavies, so you gain priority for heals, or another attack so on. In elden ring you could jump attack, break someones guard, and watch them walk away after recovering before YOU could start moving. And this isnt even just pve either, and is just a gross oversight. If you check out colossal weapons/swords, you will see they not only have exaggerated start up frames (18 - 19 frames when greataxes/hammers are 15 on their lights), their recovery is even worse at more than a second. Its just disproportionate to the damage/stance damage they do compare to other weapons. And boy do they have shit weight to damage ratio.Also, realise powerstance actually DO comparable damage to colossals weapons, but good PS weapons have a much better moveset.If they add some sort of whiff mechanic like in souls 1, maybe. Where gain better recovery when your attack hits something.
>>489440068sounds like cope to me
>>489438821The entire weapon class is carried by giant crusher charged R2s. Good tracking, insane forward motion, amazing damage, what more could you ask for. I wish colossal crouch attacks were quicker though, they have dogshit range and recovery.

>>489435081You misunderstand. He doesn’t mention Mohg because he doesn’t consider Mohg to be a “willful traitor”. The others are all directly ignoring their Two Fingers and defying the Greater Will/Erdtree. Mohg is just off doing his own thing underground.Morgott wasn’t “saving a seat” for Godrick or Rykard, those empty chairs are proof that the other demigods abandoned their role in order to try and become Elden Lord.
>>489441130>fth + arc = drake warrior, blood knight>int + arc = haha bubbles
Would one of you lads be able to trade drop me the 'Great Katana'? First play through of ER and I haven't unlocked Mountaintop and killed Mohg yet to unlock SotE.I'm chilling at the Boilprawn Shack in Liurnia Multiplayer pass is = cunny
>>489435081Weeeeeeeeeell, the others are all nobles with their own army, castle, title and shit. Mohg lives by himself with a ragtag of murderhobos in a bloody shit filled puddleI imagine it would be awkward to introduce your NEET brother among all the more successful CEO siblings and such

>>489437701You're a cuck seeking validation for your cheating from a 4chan thread.
>>489442923Sign's down
>>489437701Your collection will naturally grow beyond what you require by simply playing the game
>>489443021hmmm strange, I'm not seeing the sign.
Do you think that the Deflect tear would be decent for a low level character to do DLC bosses? I'm struggling on Bayle.
>>489443186Maybe try redoing your finger remedy, or we can try a different area
>>489443245Tried redoing the finger remedy 20 times lmao, ya lets go to another area. I'm in Limgrave at 'The First Step' grace.
>>489440692That attack tends to miss when youre up close, ironically. My complaint with that thing is its weight. Also Giant crushers posture damage isnt even the best in the class, specifically GC - BFA, great clubs, anvil hammers etc have better posture damage that actually have meaningful difference for 150 posture bosses. With the deflect tear and cracked tear you can 2 shot stance break 120 posture bosses and 3 shot 150 bosses with the guardcounter.
>>489443427I think a reachable boss needs to be alive too. I'll try hosting if it doesn't work this time either
what's generally the best level in ARC for bleed buildup?
>>489443208Deflect Tear is terrible for Bayle
>>489443603It starts to fall off hard around 30 I think
>>48944360345 is the common number
>>489437669I killed both also Mike is a faggot. So it didnt happen.
>>489443565oh fuck me I didn't know a reachable boss needs to be alive - don't see your sign. A boss I have quickly available is the magma wyrm near seethewater terminus, but sure we can try with you hosting!
>>489443208You have to be careful with which attack can be deflected, since the fucker often hits you from behind when he goes behind you.
>>489443658Welp, guess it's back to trying to think of what to do.
>>489443780Lets try the wyrm then, I'm not sure which guys are alive on this save
>>489443864Okay, maybe put the sign down by the marika statue right in front of the Wyrms lava lake?
>>489443208Im >>489443816. Let me rephrase: his attacks often ends up hitting you from behind when youre standing in front of him. His bites especially does this a lot. Unlike radahn, whom you want to be facing when youre blocking his angel AoE, bayle often have his hitbox appear behind youre block, so you end up getting hit.
>>489425945Made for being mindbreaked by me.
>>489403987EdgeLord
>>489443971If it still won't pop up I'll try hosting at Academy Gate Town
>>489444232ya still not popping up for me sadly - fucking summon signs in this game are annoying
>>489437183No, he does it for Radahn's cock, he might want to help people but ultimately Radahn is all that matters to him. Want to fix the world? Use the fucking Elden Ring like you're supposed to, he had the easiest fucking path to it as well given that he's still around after Caelid, if he wasn't a horrible brother he'd heal Malenia and re-needle her after she nukes herself over a booty call, mindrape Mohg, and storm Leyndell/Mountaintops. Also not sure what the fuck his logic was with becoming a God to fix everything either, it's not like Marika could cure the Rot or undo Godwyn's death. Stop defending this shitty ass writing, you can not reconcile him desiring a gentler world with using his sister as a tactical nuke and then abandoning everyone and everything for hundreds of years for no reason, as he can't actually move forward with his plan until we accidentally help him. The game never presents godhood as a last ditch effort either, this is cope headcanon.
>Patch comes out>Unbanned
>>489444284Nothing's popping upPeer to peer is so fucking gay
>>489444613motherfucker lol, I put the sign right beside the grace - this shit is wack
>>489444476Reminder that Guts got cucƙed.
People who defend Miquella's lore almost always just ignore everything related to Radahn's involvement because it contradicts the story they're trying to convey. What a disasterclass in writing, all for the sake of wanking off the most boring demigod in the game who STILL has no character
>>489444675I'm gonna restart my game to try and meme magic it into working
I didn't know Dragon Communion was such a fun list of spells.I thought it was just Rot Breath but actually the big slapping hand and the big chomping head are all fun to use even though they're slow.
>>489444837Big mouth is super funny to trade with against players cause you're gonna 1-2 shot them
>>489444837It gets especially fun when you realize Dragonclaw true combos into Placidusax's Ruin if you use it right after the first hand slaps down. PR isn't a dragon communion incant mechanically of course, but it sure fits thematically and going from a Dragonclaw slam into a lightning explosion followed by fuck you fire beams makes you feel really fucking cool.
>>489444710He's seen a lot of shit.
>>489444797alright same, sign will be placed near the grace at academy town again.
>>489444797IT WORKED, HOLY FUCK thank you so much anon!
>>489445212Thank fuck
> knights Lightning spear spawn one major spear, 4 (6 if charged) mini spears > turns out only the major and two mini’s are real, the other two (or four) can’t actually hit.How did this get put into game? Like obvious spell is good, but who says “when you fully charge spell it spawns extra projectiles, but they are placebos, and all charging actually does is boost damage of the three that actually work”.Why?
>>489444794The dlc should have at least let us to talk to gideon about all the bullshit miquella did to get some level of clarification. Just so fromsoft can stop vagueposting about a gay(or just a damn bisexual degenerate in general considering he's hugging our player with radahn why charm us when you are nuking us choose one or the other damn it.).Instead fromsoft adds a chair to rellana's arena with their spare time.

>>489444837They are fun, but i wish they had a single fast spell. Maybe make Bayle's claw faster but weaker.
>>489441130In dnd terms it's literally cleric/mage from 2e aka one of the most bullshit broken archetypes possible since they could stick cleric spells into contingencies and do funny little tricks like time stop harm.
>>489441130We call it a mystic theurge
>>489447303If you want fast use Greyoll's Roar. Unlike every other dragon incant, cast speed works on it. It won't be lightning quick, but it gets quite speedy.

>>48944915292 is too strong for the boss there but good for the difficulty spike immediately after.
do yall have opinions on duping? personally I think it's retarted that players can excuse cheating to get a major advantage on non cheaters. ya the game has horrible game design but you are subverting it and hosts who don't are going to rightfully identify you as maidenless.
>>489449830trading is a stupid mechanic
>>489449830I don't care
>>489449830Duping, trading and CE'ing in items is all the same to me. Duping especially though.If you want an item you can easily find someone to give you that item online. The only difference is that CE is funnily enough safer and faster.
>>489449830It's ENTIRELY on fromsoft and terrible consumable design"Rare" consumables shouldn't be a thing. At the very least you should be able to buy them in "postgame".They had a chance to correct it with DLC, and they did give you some essentials like ropes, but not enough.
>>489449573The biggest boon of seamless is, well, that it's seamless. You can invade any area in the game no matter what. I had a cannon duel on gravestones leading to jarburg. I invaded Study Hall a fuckload of times. You can invade coopers chilling at Rennala's and force them to backtrack the entire Raya Lucaria which completely changes the "feel" of the area.
>>489449469Vanilla ER's matchmaking is so royally fucked that Seamless might end up having more activity despite having like 1000x less players.
>>489450447I have no fucking idea how vanilla matchmaking even works. No way seamless have more players despite having significantly higher activity.
>>489449692Do you think the academy kept her around as their cumslut and participated in glintstone bukakes?
i tried the meme moore build against radahn with antspur bleed since i was getting annoyed with the second phase after an hourdidn't even use a flask, nor have i ever made a tank before
>>489449469Consolefag or can't figure out how to drag files into a folder.
>>489450838Moore build sounds like an absolute asshole material for invading SL~50Rot pots, giant rot pots, albinuric pots, deadly poison pots, pushing them back with moore charge off the ledges...
>>489450939with the discus, prawn and resistant talismans you're basically invulnerable. you only need to drop the shield between an attack and your stamina is back up with the double turtle talisman.i don't think they had this in mind when they designed consort radahn.
>>489449752I have no idea who cucklovsky isI only watch chasethebro cause he isn't a petty loser asshole
>>489450838The only thing in the entire game that poses a minor threat to Greatshields is Malenia's regen.

>>489451412DLC gives you some insight on those things>A piece of a gravestone that has started to turn into a spirit. Material used for crafting items. Mainly found on the Gravesite Plain. In places to where the dead have been brought since antiquity, the oldest gravestones turn into spirits and then fade away,Basically it's a flag that started to turn into a spirit, probably because it's surrounded by corpses.

Hey, can Cinqueneda and Clawmark Seal powerstancing work?Also, is there a good spot to practice parrying?
>>489452690People would dupe divine blessings in the other game and I condone doing it here too
>>489452835yeah you get the buff for bestial incantations, you can even two hand the seal with the dagger in the offhand, if you meant attacking them the beastclaw greathammer is probably better>>489452849im aware, i just think its retarded they added crystal tears but not heal for free when the dlc is harder overall
>>489452835it's not powerstancing, it's just having an offhand casting tool. It can work, but it might be tough for a beginner (single dagger that isn't infusable isn't strong). Try parrying knight enemies
so, is it kino?
>>489453542it is, but the map of Realm of Shadow is even better. Much better actually
>>489452401i don't see how letting gideon know would change anything. he can just give you a new item and say miquella's story is done and finished just like ensha. he wanted mogh and radahn dead too.
