>>507145724woah boobies..
>erg is so shit at the game that they advocate for sl167 in FCsliterally just asking for the matches to be filled with garbage spells
>>507145931What level should they be at?
125-139
Idk how I feel about backstep being turbned into a crouch dodge.
>>507146215what the hell is that?
>>507146175Isn't the no reply thing a dsg thing? Not gonna listen to you.
>dsg thingit's a thing in a bunch of different threads this website is more than just dsg and erg
>hit misbegotten with 2h r1 claymore>immediately headbutts me for damage before my second r1 goes throughistg the hitstun is different in vanilla wtf >>507146257reforged mod...
>>507145931>>507146175Fuck off back to /dsg/. Oh wait, you can't. It's dead lmao.>>507146154Anything is fine within reason. Don't listen to the retards. It's advised to stay ~150 but if you need/want to go over a bit nobody is going to give a fuck.
you already got 13 extra levels now you fat fucks want 25why is 150 advised when all it does is give players access to more total dogshit
>>507146824>13 extra levelsSays you. Meta for ER has always been 150, fuck off duel cuck.
guh?
>>507145931>>507146175>>507146518>>507146824you have to go back
>/dsg/ finally dies>They migrate here but refuse to actually adopt our rules and try to force their ownDon't give the fags an inch. Remember, they killed their own general. Don't let them kill this one.
Let's Gank
death to dsgtroons
>>507147043meta level is the duel level you fucking retardand even if it wasn't that just isn't true since most people go 139 unlike the morons of erg who can't finish a build at that level because they just need 40mind 40end and softcap damageand again why is 150 advised when all it does it homogenise builds?
>>507147868>meta level is the duel levelStopped reading there. We do 150 here for FCs and invasions, dsgchud. We also don't have autistic melties if people go over that like you're having right now. Don't like it? Leave.
>trying to condescend when you are just admitting to being shit at the game
>>507147868Kys
incredibly insightful postthe erg user cannot reason so resorts to the humble "kys"
>>507148104>trying to fit in when you clearly don'tThe rest of your kind went to /fsg/, I suggest you join them. Or you can stop being a sperg and let people play how they want. You're not going to force people to play at your autistic level cap dude, it isn't gonna fly.
>>507142428Nagash is white too.
This is all just joking around arguing shitposting right
>>507148370No /dsg/ is this retarded. There's a reason their general died and you're looking at it.
>>trying to fit inuhhhhhh since when are my posts me trying to fit in?>autistic level capif you don't encourage a cap you get unironic sl713 players and you don't get good build discussion>>507148370erg is shit at buildmaking yes>dsg diedfsg/dsg are interchangeabledon't pretend that you are suddenly postting in fsg because the culture is different
>NOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO STOP LEVELING! IF YOU GO PAST 125 IT JUST MEANS YOU'RE BAD AT THE GAME! STOP SPENDING RUNES!!! AIEEEEEEEEE SAVE ME CHASETHEBRO!!!!!!!!And what are you gonna do about it? Yeah that's what I thought, bitch. See you in the fight clubs. *spits*
>>507148496>if you don't encourage a cap you get unironic sl713 playersAs I said before, it's advised to stay around 150. If you have to go over or happen to be a bit over, that's fine within reason and nobody is going to give a fuck. There's a big difference between someone being 5-15 levels over that and someone fucking 500 levels over that you dumb fuck. Even that being said though, we've had players that high join. At worst people laugh it off and ask them to play something else or block them if they refuse.>BUT MUH BUILD DISCUSSION!Fuck off lol
WOW this is SOOOOO fun am I supposed to be summoning for regular catacombs too now??
>what am i going to do about it?well i could just play at max level and spam massive aoe spells>it's advisedwhy? explain why 150 is the advised level instead of just saying it's advised
>>507148739Get some skibidi fragments retard. Also even with an optimal build that shit is going to hurt like fuck, maybe you should consider that not every attack is meant to be traded with.
>>507148739>>507148860Dude this is a namefag from /dsg/ and /erg/ who complains about the game on purpose.
>>507148846>well i could just play at max level and spam massive aoe spellsAnd you'll get blocked, so go ahead and waste your time I guess.>explain why 150 is the advised level instead of just saying it's advisedBecause that's the level most of the thread plays at. It's the popular choice. Very few people here hang out at the lower RLs you're pushing for. Again, it's not going to happen. -YOU- can stay at that RL, but nobody is going to care about you autistically policing the FCs. There's basically an unspoken "don't be a dick" rule. You play cancer or come in at absurd levels and you'll get asked to change or catch a block, simple.
How the fuck are you guys still fighting over this. ITS BEEN TWO YEARS
Imagine trying to sweatlord the fight clubs like you do duels. We play these for fun you fucking idiot, not to flex our digital cocks. These ain't exactly competitive.
https://youtu.be/6LW8GPblTsY?si=lRlrpjK-InhLcuIf
>>507149308>you guysWe have literally 1-2 retards from /dsg/ that refuse to level higher and whine about everyone else being above them. That's it. They're just an incredibly vocal minority.
>>507149453Buy an ad fag
pancakes never got blocked LMAO>it's the level everyone is atyeah because morons itt tell everyone to go to that level it's self fulfilling>asked to changethere are people lightrolling and casting spells that don't get asked to change builds tooplaying at 125-139 is not sweatlording either you fucking bum>whiningcurrently farming this thread like you wouldn't believe
>>507149778>there are people lightrolling and casting spells that don't get asked to change buildsWhat fucking planet are you from where casting spells is worth getting asked to swap builds? Are you under the impression that FCs are only supposed to be melee only? Is this bait? Also:>Complaining about light rollingActually embarrassing on your part.
>>507149778>>it's the level everyone is at>yeah because morons itt tell everyone to go to that level it's self fulfillingYeah and you tell people the same, yet everyone listens to the other people. That means you're a minority, bitch. Cry about it.
>>507147730zased
Just go to whatever level you wantIt's nit that big a deal, it's not a tournament or some esports thing, it's just a place to fuck around with at night

>>507147161Was this added in an update?
>>507150591Why would you put a different ash on the partying daggerThe literal only advantage of the partying dagger is that like it's a dagger that can parryUse a different dagger at that point
Anyone else find it ridiculous that Ansbach calls Miquella a monster and says he's terrified of him meanwhile he serves the Formless Mother, a literal demon of blood who's domain seems to be wounds and suffering?
>>507150675Mod.>>507150723maximize thunderbolt damage it's a meme
>>507150764
I WISH ELDEN RING WOULD STOP EATING MY FUCKIN INPUTS STUPID ASS GAME
>>507150764>the Formless Mother, a literal demon of blood who's domain seems to be wounds and suffering?Is it though? Sure she's associated with blood but what suffering? She accepted Mohg and Mohg accepted the unwanted albinaurics. While I wouldn't call her vibe "good" or "comfortable" she does seem to operate on some level of benevolence towards her followers, as does Mohg. Varre preaches about his boundless love and while we could easily write Varre off as a weirdo, Ansbach definitely doesn't seem the type to me to give into delusion. Even under Miquella's enchantments he still had an innate desire to research exactly what was going on. He's intelligent, smart, and loyal. I don't think he'd willingly serve Mohg if his dynasty was one of pain and suffering.>>507150586That's what I'm saying. Don't be a dick and nobody will care what you do. We do this shit for fun.
>>507150764no? hes a sanguine noble his idea of love is probably way different from others, when varre talks to you about love and shit do you think he means the same idea of love you have in your head
>>507150828>maximize thunderbolt damageJust use the fucking Urumi then
>>507151159>>507151285>Is it though? Sure she's associated with blood but what suffering?Forgive me if I can't quote the exact item description but I'm pretty sure there's something that says "the Formless Mother desires wounds". Let's also not forget that the very purpose of the bloody fingers as a faction is to hunt down other tarnished and kill them.
>>507150764Yeah since we're bros.
>>507151574I always figured it meant that SHE wants wounds, aren't most blood magics like stabbing into her realm, and stabbing/cutting her then using her flaming blood from her cuts?
>>507151792Yeah maybe, but she only presents herself to those who have experienced great suffering, and the Bloodfiends in the DLC literally ripped an arm off their own kin and use it as a ritual implement in worship of her. Just seems hypocritical to call anyone a "monster" while worshipping a god of blood and suffering. And like I said, the purpose of the bloody fingers is to go out and kill random tarnished.
Why do some spirit ashes have red eyes and some don't?
>>507151574Anon, you're referring to Mohg's spear. Which states:>Trident of Mohg, Lord of Blood. A sacred spear that will come to symbolize his dynasty.>As well as serving as a weapon, it is an instrument of communion with an outer god who bestows power upon accursed blood.>The mother of truth desires a wound.>a wound>singularRemember that going forward and let's check the description of the skill:>Raise the sacred spear and pierce the body of the Formless Mother. Stab up to three times, creating explosions of blood with each thrust.>This skill will coat the armament with bloodflame for a while.>pierce the body of the Formless MotherShe doesn't desire wounds to others, she desires a singular wound to herself in order to grant her followers power.>Let's also not forget that the very purpose of the bloody fingers as a faction is to hunt down other tarnished and kill them.Yes? And? The GW isn't exactly doing altruistic shit either. In fact it seems to have abandoned the world altogether. The tarnished are in her way of establishing a new order, that makes them her enemies and not innocent people.>>507151792You are correct.>>507151995>Yeah maybe, but she only presents herself to those who have experienced great sufferingYou're looking at this entirely the wrong way. What's wrong with her presenting to herself to those who understand suffering? She isn't the one who made them suffer, she just desires those who understand suffering as part of her flock. That's not inherently evil, understanding suffering doesn't mean you want others to suffer. In fact it's kinda implied here she wants to help them to END their suffering. She appeared to Mohg for example at his absolute lowest and helped raise him up to where he is now, that same Mohg who was horrifically chained up in a sewer and abandoned by his mother who worshipped the GW, his only crime having been being born.
>>507148496per board rules your shitty discord general should've been deleted by now several times over
>>507152359I get what you're saying, but the purpose of the bloody fingers is still to hunt and kill tarnished, many of which probably have good intentions or have no knowledge of the greater sins of the world. Hard to spin that act as benevolent.
>>507153225Tarnished are given every opportunity to join Mohg's dynasty before being hunted. You are not special, Roderika knew Varre as well. You need to keep in mind, by nature tarnished are enacting the will of the fingers and the fingers serve the GW. This means they are enemies of the FM and Mohg's dynasty. The fact that they even present you with the option to switch sides is incredibly generous seeing as tarnished are by nature, warriors, and could kill you on the spot just for suggesting such a thing.
>>507153443So why hunt tarnished who don't choose to serve the FM? It's not like every tarnished who choses not to serve the blood god is ontologically evil.
>xhe grasstroon is awake and being a cockguzzling tranny faggot as alwaysjust ignore himdude sounds, looks, acts just like a troon so there's no reason to take him seriously
>>507153637Because the goal of EVERY tarnished is to mend the elden ring and restore the current order under the GW. If you refuse to join Mohg's faction, you're not just an innocent bystander. This is a war of succession, tarnished don't have the option to "remain neutral" here if they are guided by grace. It's worth noting however that tarnished who aren't guided by grace any longer -are- seemingly ignored by Mohg's faction. Varre didn't kill Roderika and was content to just let her be for example. In fact aside from Godfrey and maybe Gideon, it's implied we are the only current tarnished who even still has the guidance of grace. Corhyn plainly states nearly no remaining tarnished can see the guidance anymore and we are rare for it. We never see bloody fingers go after anyone out and about, like Boggart for example, so it's kinda implied here that they only hunt tarnished with grace who decline to join. This makes sense, given that tarnished with grace are a DIRECT threat to the FM's goals.
>>507152894Based.
>>507154134Is xhe the tard saying we can't level over 125 or cast spells in FCs?
>>507148739why are you still doing this
>>507148739sussy amogus imposter
>>507154232>"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD">"That guy who want's an age of compassion? Damn he's a monster, I'm terrified of him"
>>507154361yup, you can tell by the posting style and the fact it's 9-10 am in the UK which is when he's awake most of the time
>>507154361most likelynow that you mention it, those posts do resemble its writing style
>>507154729Miquella's "age of compassion" isn't actual compassion. It's fucking worldwide mind control. Miquella can't actually understand compassion because he just fucking enslaves everyone and forces them to be docile. Shit dude did you even play this game? Miquella ABANDONED HIS LOVE. Do you think a god that cannot love is capable of compassion? Do you think that was just fucking flavor text???
>>507154729He's calling him a "monster" in the sense that he's really powerful. He doesn't hate Miquella, he sees him as a worthy adversary. He continues to call him "tender" and "kind" after this conversation and says Mohg's death was fair play since he was seeking lordship. He even assumes that Miquella's humiliation of Mohg was because he didn't understand what he was doing, rather than out of malice.
>>507154856>>507154883I knew it was a fucking dsgtroon, they make it way too obvious. It's like they can't help themselves.
>>507154914>Miquella's "age of compassion" isn't actual compassion. It's fucking worldwide mind controlI have no idea how this headcanon still survives after 7 months. Literally nothing in the game says he's going to mind control everyone. He doesn't even have that ability as a god u less you assume he's going to personally hug and whisper to thousands of newborn babies per day.
https://youtu.be/qgtkPKZ2OPk
>>507155012"tender" and "kind" are epithets, not compliments, hence why they're capitalised.

>>507159239uh excuse me ma'amyour uhhhh*gets uncomfortably close and leans over and whispers in your ear*catch flame and bestiality sling?
>>507159417Bestial sling damage is very bad and catch flame is more than twice as expensive as carian slicer is
>>507159239Sacred Blade and/or Dragonclaw shits all over Limgrave, and once you get to the castle you get Black Flame which is your bread and butter ranged option. You can also just ride to Caelid at the start for Flaming Strike. For sniping there's Frenzied Burst. Midgame you can get Blasphemous Blade, Coded Sword, Golden Vow (spell), endgame you get Black Flame Tornado. Faith's strength is having access to EVERY damage type and status effect except sleep.
>>507159784It's still cheap
speaking of black flame tornado, how do the censorsip rules work in ER? i want to make a name that's this https://youtu.be/03sR3KeURPo?si=Gn8C1iJfZ6u_Q23B&t=28 tier

i never noticed how lit placidusax nuke attack was until i saw it in a video from a player who ran back a bit from it and you could see it from afar, i wonder what other epic boss attacks i never got to see well in its entirety because i always stay as close as possible to the boss

>>507147161I think you can disable scalingAlso you can adjust the difficulty settings.The enemy scaling is good tho
>>507172446I respect the armament choice but why not Biggest Horn at this point? I guess its somewhat less crowd control but its damage output seems better, no?
>>507179836Carian slicer was nerfed for a reason.
>>507182381medium horn is just overall better, both the weapon art and overall moveset
>>507182784hawk tuba?
>>507182784Is it? I am not sure the webm you're posting illustrates your point, like yeah medium horn is faster but biggest horn does more damage, and you can do delayed tracking shenanigans like with the spell.
>>507182784But doot maximum makes the funniest noise.
>>507172820You can see Rya's nipple
>>507152359>>507151159Formless Mother is interesting, I am not sure how we can interpret the blood zombies in the dynasty grounds. They can be both willing blood donors but also abused victims.I am sad though that they cut Friendly Mohg appearances in Altus where he was supposed to invite you into his covenant.
>>507182784Hawktuahpill me on the medium horn, when I tried them all, it seemed like the largest horn was the best, then the smallest one, then the medium one, the medium one just felt like the worst of all worlds
>>507179836A billion damage and it comes out fast with a subtle, hard to read motion. Also a ton of stance damage. Catch flame is disgusting.

>Just dreamt I was fighting Malenia>Like, in first person view>At one point I jump away to chug a flask>She goes for a lunging stab>I narrowly evade, her sword now positioned under my arm put>Clamp my arm down, reach and grab the base of the sword with my free hand>I somehow grab and rip her katana off her prosthetic>Dual wield it with my own katana>Waterfowl her to show her what it's like>She falls on her ass, helpless>I move close to her, pushing her legs apart as I approach>I lift her chin and go for a kiss>Wake up right before we connectWhy in the flying fuck did I dream this? First of all, I don't like or use katanas. Secondly, I don't particularly like or lust for Malenia. I actually think she's pretty gross looking and assume she smells horrible. What the fuck dude. I'm actually incredibly weirded out here that my brain would dream this about Malenia rather than an ER woman I actually like. Where's my erotic dream about Marika? Melina?? The fucking full moon sisters??? Shit dude I'd take one about the crazy DLC yandere woman before fucking Malenia. WHY GOD.
>>507181257I don't think I can but it seems chill so I'll leave it on. I saw the difficulty settings as well. Probably going to leave on normal.
My ideal game would have>the worldbuilding, lore and overall design of the Soulsbornesekirorings>the plot, dialogue and voice acting of Legacy of Kain>and the combat of Nioh 2
>>507194160>Nioh 2's schizophrenic combatno thanks
>>507192615who r you
Someone post that giantess Marika webm pls
NOT buying FortnitereignNOT playing FortnitereignCOPE and SEETHE
>>507193598Cute
>>507195362I'm not buying it either, they lost my purchase when I found out you're locked to 4 pre-made characters. Why the fuck would I play this shit if I can't make my own? To make matters worse you can't even queue with 2 people, it's 1 or 3 only. Fucking garbage, can't wait for this shit to flop.
>>507195520you're cute
>>507191207shields are godtier in elden ring, which is funny because its the first time in a really long time theyve been good in a fromsoft game.
>>507185745>>FRC Chalice Dungeons: The GameTrust me bros, I fucking wish. Bloodborne 2 better have great multiplayer netcode and more chalices (especially FRC). I swear to god
>>507196047Kill yourself
>>507193598Also that's how Malenia feels when she has dreams about the tarnished
>>507193598mindbroken by the boss or just too much porn>>507192615LMAO thats like a family guy death pose
>>507194723What's schizophrenic about it?While we're talking about things other games did well, I quite liked Lords of The Fallen(2023)'s approach to spellcasting, having one button to "activate" the catalyst and then assigning spells to various other keys. Of course, that was the only thing I liked about it...
>>507196480I'm going to say it until you believe it
>>507196632>mindbroken by the bossI don't even struggle with Malenia. Usually down her in 1-3 tries, maybe ~5 if I'm playing a shitty build.
>>507168403I should clean my house but I just keep thinking "what's the point?"Got a link to those lofi Christmas songs?
>>507196732Yeah I've heard some people give lukewarm reception to Lords of the fallen 2, but after the first one I never wanna touch that shit. I have no issue with taking good things from these spinoff games if they can improve a major issue i have with this game: being able to use your full setup on a moment's notice. And being able to use more skills that the current amount. I wonder if they'll have a mechanic where you hold L2, which changes your face buttons to weapon skills / spells.
>>507197014Ah shit, the school shooter is back.
>>507196732it has too much shit going on at once and it detracts from the experience imoI beat the first ignoring 90% of the mechanics, basically just attacking in middle stance and doing the silly stamina regen gimmick. Then 2 added even more shit.
eff see?
I still haven't finished the dlc
absolute lel
>>507196793And I'm gonna day kill yourself till you do it
I think I see you schizos complaining about "dsgtroons" more than I actually see "dsgtroons" post
>>507198235take a hard tack
>>507199156You're posting amongst a bunch of dsgtroons literally ERPing in the thread you fucking idiot. Open your eyes.
0 insight mfer
>>507199275No
>>507199695Literally every general on vg has retarded faggots erping, it's par for the course.
>>507184575>stance breaks a fire mink in 20 casts>"Also a ton of stance damage"
>>507200310monk*
>>507200208Yeah except here the only ones who do it are dsgtroons. They aren't even fucking playing elden ring, they just post here because their own thread is dead.
>>507200807Just ignore and report
>>507200846So is there a connection between Eiglay and the abyssal serpent? I mean there has to be right? There's no way they would have two different fire snake gods in the game. Also the Temple of Eiglay has statues of winged serpents.
>>507201246No, no connection.>two different fire snake godsNeither of them are "gods".
>>507198235I thought you liked me though
>>507201460Then what would you call them?
>schrödinger's host
>>507201594Monsters? I don't know dude what would you call 85% of the shit in this game? Fact is they aren't gods though. Neither says "GOD SLAIN" like the Elden Beast when killed and neither are stated to be gods or outer gods in the lore.
bros... ;_;
>>507201246>There's no way they would have two different fire snake gods in the gamejust fromsoft things
>>507201246Personally I think so, but I don't think there's any actual said connection, but in my Korean headcanon it isimo the Abyssal Serpent and God-Devouring Serpent are to Eiglay as what Metyr and Elden Beast are to the Greater Will, though that requires two huge unsaid connections to be true, which is that Eiglay and Greater Will are both the same type of thing, Outer God or otherwise which isn't said for wither, and that like Eiglay has anything to do with either of those two
I'm bored
>>507202198Hi bored
>>507201784Because you never kill them, the serpent is very much still alive after you "kill" Rykard. Also gods are different from outer gods. Marika is a god, Formless Mother is an outer god.
>>507202378>Because you never kill themWe literally kill messmer and his snake but okay retard.
>>507202123>imo the Abyssal Serpent and God-Devouring Serpent are to Eiglay as what Metyr and Elden Beast are to the Greater Will,I would say it's the opposite, that the abyssal serpent is equivalent to the Greater Will and Eiglay is equivalent to Metyr/Elden Beast.
>>507201819Imagine the rape.
>>507202817You kill Messmer, who is a vessel of the abyssal serpent, you're not killing the abyssal serpent itself.
Why are we still here?
>>507203139>You kill Messmer, who is a vessel of the abyssal serpent, you're not killing the abyssal serpent itself.Nice headcanon retard, got a source to back that up?
>>507203787Got a source to back up that we kill the abyssal serpent? Two can play that game, faggot.
>Rykard first encountered the God-devouring serpent/the things that would lead him to finding it while researching the source of the Abyssal Serpent in his brother while working as Marika's inquisitor It would also make it even more of a faustian deal when he fed himself to the serpent because he would know just to what lengths Marika had gone to try and suppress it in Messmer>>507202972Could be, but I think the fact that you pretty directly fight Messmer while he's being transformed either from or into it, while the entities like that tend to be more sprayed from the world makes me think not. Though obviously it could just be a reflection of it, similar to Malenia and Outer God of Rot, so actually you could be super right. It's kinda hard to know considering how little info there is about either of them. Or the God Devouring Serpent. Or Outer Gods. Or Elden Ring.Sigh
>>507204007We literally see it writhing inside of messmer, fuck you're stupid.
AAAAAA
>>507204820Yeah and we literally see the snake all over Rykard, still doesn't die when we defeat him.
This was kinda fun.Just two cancerous cysts duking it out with the most jumping, status and dashing focussed styles
Anybody else having a problem with the latest patch on seamless? Every time I pop pot, or try to join someone else my whole game crashes on desktop, or resets my steam deck.
>>507206696>still doesn't die when we defeat himSource: your ass
>>507197193I never left. What makes you think I'm a school shooter? I'd never hurt children or anyone else
>>507207546Pedophiles insist they'd never hurt children either, curious!
>>507207546You aren't that girl that shot up her school because she hated men?
>>507207776Having sex is supposed to feel good, which is the opposite of hurting. Your move.
>>507207960>Having sex is supposed to feel goodWrong
>>507207925She was a qt
>>507206696Tanith confirms that nigga is dead:>Oh, you... Allow me some time. Our lord's carcass is vast and not easily consumed. Dear Rykard, please find purchase within me, I wish to be your serpent; your family. One day, let us devour the gods together.>>507207776I don't love them, either.>>507207925Who? Sorry, I don't watch the news.
>>507207960>confirmed pedophileY I K E SIKES
>>507208309why did u indict him

I didn't even realize this guy in the fcs was called nezuk until people started talking about him non fucking stop. He's like the other side of the coin that is grass. You keep hearing about him nonstop and people won't shut up about him.
>>507210116>>507208838dsgtroon this is pathetic, it's the 5th time you keep trying the same dumb "hurr block nezuk boogeyman!", every day. Are you one of these NEETs?Nezuk literally started the dsgtroon cleansing, and is the creator of the /erg/ fc group.dsgcucks are so mentally retarded!
>>507211025Annoying schizo metafag that blocks people
>>507211025FC regular who's bit of an anti-dsg schizo but he's alright. Would much rather have him than some of the literal troon dsg posters.
Why has no one coined the term nezcuck yetI dont mind him but that seems like a really easy insult
>>507211025It's all dsgtroon spam, the dsgtroons worst nightmare, even more than poopmask. A sad try to try and shift the blame to someone else
>>507211025>You keep hearing about him nonstop and people won't shut up about himi havent heard either of those names until today
>>507211287>>507211131>>507211356>>507211350Why do I even bother asking nvm. I'm going back to playing half life.
>>507211287I wish he would stop backstepping backstabbing, I'm mad because I don't know how to do it
>>507211493I dont know why you bothered either
>>507211506you can learn how to do it pretty easily....
>>507211085So, dsg is troon central and also NEET central? nay nay, what is wrong with these subhumans?
>>507211756There's nothing wrong with being a NEET, I wish it was easier in america, I heard it's easier to do in europe
>>507211684My fingers are too slow for it
>>507211756Why are you replying to yourself
>>507212146Not that anon but I'm not, why are you asking that?
nezuk is /ourbvll/ and also madison's bf
>>507203418Just to suffer?
>>507161993I liked Fire Giant vs. Midir where Fire Giant spams roll over and over to win (it’s been over a year I forgot if he won)
>>507212032But... it's one button press on each hand
>>507213590No you gotta unlock on and then bacstep and lock back on and attack which is like 4 presses on 1 hand
>>507211506do you know how to hardswap?
>>507212607i hope you get banned again
>>507210223Gotcha, I'll ignore it then. Thanks.
>>507208734are you literally a femcel
>>507213857Femcels don't exist, females at most are volcels. Even that school shooter one he's talking about had a boyfriend.
>>507213793I understand the concept of it, you put everu item in your chest except what youll be swapping to so its easy to swap to fast, right? If so then sort of yes but I don't want to put any of my weapons in my chest plus I dislike the idea
>>507213857That's a meaningless word, incel and volcel are noth the first word is involuntary and voluntary, fem-cel doesn't mean anything because that doesn't mean anything in terms of how it works
>>507214037Kill yourself
>>507214240oh my god maddy just answer the questionyou never give a straight answer to anything
>>507208734What was her "plan?"
>>507214440She's not she has a bf too
>>507214125no that's just inventory management
>>507214440You dont have to say that, tere's nothing to answer because I don't consider thw question to be realBut if you mean the like stupid nebulous definition that most people use for it which is just a vague identifier of vague aesthetics then sure, I own a copy of the SCUM Manifesto
>>507214350Why?
>>507214794being a femcel is very not cute
>>507214540It's kind of vague, but my understanding is that she wants to take the Elden Ring's/the new order she would establish and essentially hide it in space so no one would be stuck staring their destiny in the face, where like under the Golden Order people all had their proper place to see and look into, she wants to establish a new order under the Dark Moon where the certainties are gone and you have to divine and figure it out yourself. There's other interpretations though
>>507214684Then no, I dont. How do you?
>>507215094so dumb
>>507214913Because you're wrong and retarded
>>507215230How do you interprit what she says?
>>507215501interpret
>>507215390No, I'm not wrong. Women cannot be incels, no matter how ugly or disgusting a woman is she could easily get laid or find male companionship. The same is NOT true for men. A "femcel" is just a woman who's upset because men she considers high value don't want her.
>>507215582I interpret you as retarded
>>507215676By that definition incels literally don't exist (which is a valid interpretation to take) because literally anyone could get sex, men also just wouldn't lower their standards until they find somebody
>>507215942Factually false. There are a ton of men out there no woman would fuck.
>>507213742oh I forgot I have roll/backstep bound to my side mouse button...Q unlockM3 + S reverse backstepQ, M1
>>507215998And the reverse then
>>507216191No, even the most paper baggable women could easily get laid.
>>507215942definitely not. there is always a desperate enough man out there, the opposite is not true
>>507216139Do you think blinkbolt is good or you just use it for style?
>>507216430>>507216459No
>>507215212you open your inventory to swap to a parry shield and parry something and then swap back to a weapon to get the riposte, for exampleif you can't do that then you suffer from skill issue
>>507216584Yes lmao I don't know how you can possibly think otherwise.
>>507217108Because I'm right
>>507217024How is that not what I just said?
>>507217219You're not. You're very much wrong.
>>507217535No
>>507217108she's a virgin probably, so she doesn't understand how easy it is for women to get laid
>>507217321because it's about being fast enough with your fingers to be able to do it retard
>>507217321>>507217803Or get a back paddled controller so even a monkey can do it.
>>507217571The only way you could possibly have this mindset is if you were a biological woman and you'd quite literally fuck any man that offers, and I sincerely doubt you are.
>>507218040That makes no sense
>>507216508I was dicking around with it everything I use is for style desu-- whether or not its actually good is usually coincidental but i try to use worse weapons or greatswords because they're ez dum dum weapons. Also blinkbolt just feels right with greatsword r2. I wouldn't record if I didn't think it looked cool or was gay and retarded to use. >do i think blinkbolt is goodIt's like quickstep but super extra retarded down syndrome but funny chip damage ig
>>507218125How?
>>507217803That's what I saidAnd saying "do it but faster" isn't "knowing how to" thatd like implying there's some trick to it, if you're saying "Do you know how people hardswap?" and the answer is just "swap but fast" then that's dumb
>>507218301Because that doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about??
>>507218409you are genuinely braindead
>>507218654It has everything to fucking do with it. How could you possibly state there are men any women would fuck unless you knew so first hand? It's common knowledge that women can easily get laid and men can't.
>>507218942No
How fast do i need to be to hardswap during sex. Second question: Do women like it when you hardswap?
>>507218721I'm not, you asked >>507213793 which the answer is apparently "swap but really fast" which is retarded that you even asked then
>>507207002In case anybody else needs this, turn of steam beta participation. Fixed it right up.
>>507219234Thank you
>>507219014Again, how?
>>507219059...Hardswap to what?
>>507219141you don't know how to do it
>>507219374My erdtree greatshield, of course.
>>507219420The answer is "do it really fast"
>>507219059Why is it that a high rank woman instantly drops to low rank the second I see a cigarette? Like this chick initially could've been a 10/10, but I see the cancer stick and now she's a 4.
>>507219353That's not "again", that's the first time you asked that
>>507217972hey looks like you're stupid tooyou don't need paddles ever when swapping chances are you never swapped>>507219528you hate liberated women
>>507219761Smoking has nothing to do with that
>>507219528you have good taste
>>507219461post a webm of you doing this >>507217024 then
>>507219528Because smoking is bad for everyone in the long term
>>507219528Cuz u dont like cancer sticks and u probably dont like how it smells and u probably dont like how its also an addiction for many also it can be quite expensive addiction depending on where u live also a lot of trashy poor ppl smoke I like oral fixation shit and I used to like smoking occasionally, but i would never date a smoker.
>>507219978I'm not good at hardswapping, I never said I was, I was just saying asking "do you know how to hardswap" is dumb, you should ask "can you hardswap" and the answer is no, I can't but asking if someone knows how to is a different question when like it's a dexterous activity not a knowledge based one
>>507220170hardswapping a dex/int/luck build
>>507219586No it isn't, see: >>507218301Illiterate retard.
>>507220280>dex/int/luck>luckWe call it arc here, dsgtroon.
>>507220284That's asking how to a different question and concept
>>507219528Because it's a drug, every smoker is effectively a drug addict, but few people want to admit this because just like alcohol, it's a very profitable industry and sees widespread use. Just because these two substances have been normalized, doesn't mean it's normal to consume them at such a scale. As a sidenote, when I mean alcohol, I mean alcoholics, not the occasional bottle of beer with a BBQ.
>>507220461Still waiting for an answer. Unless you're a mega ultra giga slut with a slip-n-slide squish mitten you'll let literally any cock take a spin on there's no way you can confidently state there are women who'd fuck even the most disgusting men.
>>507220280Okay
>>507220170>the answer is nopfffff slowpoke bwahahahaha
why are you arguing semantics instead of learning to swap?
>>507220453Okay but its more like luck. Arc isn’t really lucky. Arc is more like OOGA BOOGA BOO IM A DRAGON ALSO IM BLEEDING OUT OF MY EYES ALSO VOMITS AIDS EVERYWHEREthat doesn’t rly feel like luck
>>507220663And unless you're willing to have sex with any woman ever, you also can't say that your point is true then??? You're just like using a stupid version of baby's first arguement
>>507220973I would have sex with any woman ever though, checkmate.
>>507220927Because I'm against hardswapping, I think equipment should be locked once you're in combat
>>507221084based
>>507221084>>507220927I think it’s time for our annual hardswap argument
>>507221050I dont believe you
God i hope they officially bring the Nightreign sets to the base game, even if its in a later patch, that witch set is too good to be stuck in a fucking roguelite spin-off.
all the "just hardswap" posts are the grass tranny btw. ignore em. i hardswap too, easily, i know it's not hard and it's cheap, end of the argument.and true you can get a back paddled controller so you don't even need a claw grip to do it fast, even more easier to do.
If you hardswap you're a coward and deserve a block. I don't make the rules, commit to your build you massive pussy.
*ledo gundyr swaps this jeeneral*
>>507221175are you a virgin?

i want nighreign nowfuckkkFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK its going to be the ultimate singleplayer experience
>>507221469That has nothing to do with it, I'm saying I know you're thinking "I would fuck any woman" and then like thinking of slightly below average rather than like fat slobs or mentally ill or drug addicts with rotten teeth and schizos and actually ugly people
>his posts always stand out>no you just edited it so it looks like they aren't yoursschizo timewhy would i edit that shit lmao im not botheredstop assuming every post that disagrees with you is me
>>507221493Kill yourself
>>507221803No I'm thinking of exactly all those, I'd fuck 'em all. Fat, ugly, mentally ill, you name it. Shit my ex was mentally ill and ruined my life for several years and I'd STILL stick my dick in crazy again given the chance.
>>507221857It is you though
>>507221857>suddenly the hardswap posting stopsYou're pathetic tranny, get filtered

>>507221967No you wouldntAnd of course you picked the most easy option because it's the only one that can also contain conventional beauty and ignored all the rest lol
>>507221857>im not botheredYou make it a point to ruin this general as often as possible with your shitposting. How you can take this stance even if this time it isn't you is beyond me.
Can you faggots ignore the shit stirrers from dsg, you keep giving them attention you keep making it worse.
i've been in this general for 2~ hours today and the whole general replies to me whenever I postit's quite funny 2bqh>ruin the generaluhhh babe we're in erg

>>507222330>>507148496>12 hours agoYou are not fooling anyone.
>>507222330go back to grindr where you belong faggot
>>507222569Even the same writing style lul. Stinky pathetic NEETs.
>>507222370I know you're lying so it's okayOh also I forgot to mention that your idea also falls apart because of the fact that it also doesn't work with the fact that people can lower their standards to include the same sex tooBy your definition there's still no incels because if there is then they could just have sex with eachother
>incel sex conversation>hardswap dsgtroon conversationwhere did all the normal people go, jesus fuck.
>>507223823What are holidays and xmas?
>>507223948oh right.
>>507222934>Being straight or gay is just a matter of standardsOkay I'm done arguing with you, you're actually retarded.
>>507223823this is what no FC does to a mf
>>507222934have you ever tried to get laid?
>>507224273arguments are so fucking funny because they start off with two people calling each other retarded and end with the very same two people still calling each other retarded
>>507224273So no arguement, gotcha
>>507223823Normal people beat a game and then go "That was nice" and play something else
>>507224909Are you a virgin tho.
>>507222569never worked a day in your life huh?
ELDEN RING?
>>507225574No, why?
>>507225335it's obvious that she is
>>507224273>>507222370>>507221967>>507221469Samefag!
>>507225990You don't know anything about me
>>507147161Why would they do this. This makes the power progression pointless.If you dont want to make RPGs then dont do it, Mike. But dont retroactively try to remove RPG mechanics from ER. SotE already showed he desperately wanted to do this but now its infecting the base game.
>>507226274Its from Reforged
>>507226138answer the question then
FC tonight?
>>507147161What game?
>>507227290Elden Ring Reforged
>>507227489I got that. But what is it? A mod? A specific console port for the Switch or the iQueue or whatever?
I fucking hate dsg
If its behind an illusory wall it doesnt exist. Illusory walls are shit game design, just because they got used all the time in the 90s doesnt change that.
>>507227601Reforged is an overhaul mod for elden ringOne of the options for it is enemy scaling
>>507223823>ge expects "normal" people to still be here 6 months after DLC release lol. lmao.
>>507227857I see, it's a mod. Thank you very much.
>>507227936Yes! It's a pretty good mod in my opinion
>>507227084Not for me yet, still need a few days to get a character ready for it.
>>5072286351. you're running out of time, the holidays + new years is upon us2. What exactly is taking you *numerous* days to get?
You know that I will actually murder you if I meet you in real life, right?
>>507229143I just started last night?
>Unironic arguments about FC RL early morningeuros and SEA not sending their best lol125-139 is old Redditor/DStard slop from people too used to pumping 1 stat to hardcap and dick swallowing all the meta gear in the game, only thing that's going for it is that it's specifically crafted for arena sloppers150 is new age that accounts for ER's specific softcaps and gives slight build variety while not going to extreme beside glass cannon retards with L2 sticks and casters 167 unbeknownst to some is literally the same duelist slop people are trying to avoid. It only exists because everyone adjusted to it for DLC while also allowing for invasions down to 150. It's also used in discords by making a 125 build then leveling vigor to 99 for longer fights (of course people here would ignore that and just make their stats even more inflated)anything over 150 would be absolute CBT unless you did 2v2s or 3v3s, choose wisely
>>507230806I didn't know elden ring had levelling
>>507227084Maybe on Christmas Eve or Christmas day if I get my weapons upgraded
>>507230806163 is optimal, avoids RL200 on invasions so you can double dip FCs and invading on the same character.
>>507231790>too lazy to just copy paste his character at a lower levelI know what kind of man you are
>>507230806I disagree with this mostly but this did give me the inspiration to level down to 15p because I keep feeling bad about saying "floating around 150" ehen answering but not being that myself
>>507231460For the sake of fcs, just install glorious merchant and/or cheat engine, so you can get "only" the materials to upgrade from there, and if you want, and get everything else normally
>>507231937Nah truth is 150 is just ass for anything but FCs now as all the 125 trannies realized people sit at 150 out of reach, so many of then pushed to 135. If you go to 163, you avoid the 135 gank squads and 200 gank squads while still being at a reasonable FC level. You'll have 150 gank squads to deal with of course, but that's unavoidable and you've maximized your match-up for them.
just play at 150 for fcs
good morning erg!!
>>507232618Good morning (it isn't morning)
>>507231967literally no one will be able to notice if you're 2-5 points off or something, but this beautiful game lets people be around 25+ lvls over before even starting to downscale. It's just disingenuous (and also genuinely unfun watching someone deal half your health or whip out every weapon from their inventory)>>507232202>Nah truth is 150 is just ass for anything but FCsthat's exactly the point lol, copy paste a save of your character specifically for FCs and nothing else, problem solved. I took the time recently for all 3 of my save files and improved my invasions significantly. Less ganks, less gay grace duels, less fogwalls. RL 200 is a better poison than 150 for me at least
erg doesn't even invade why would that affect anythingalso imagine leveling to avoid ganks when that's pretty much the whole invasion scene and it only gets worse the higher you goit's just wdc logic
>>507232729I just dislike copying saves, feels like cheating. I'd rather just park a character at 163 for everything and be done with it.
>>507232882>erg doesn't even invade
>REEEEEEEEEEEE YOU HAVE TO BE RL150We literally have two FC regulars who sit around 167 and I have never once seen any of you bitch about it, so I have to assume this is dsg starting drama again.
>redcel posts himself killing an afk playerThey are really desperate, aren't they?
>posts old ass wdc webmnice job proving my point>dsg rent free again
>>507232729I'm 16 points above because I wanted to hit 150-200ish because I was invading during the dlc and that was the level range, but then likebpeople play less vanilla now so I just invade on seanlessI get an extra 100ish AR out of it (I night sacrifice some endurance instead so maybe less) so I'm gonna go down anywau
>>507232882>erg doesn't even invadeYes I do lol, I invade more than I do FCs. Don't really record it though since I invade on console, much less sweats there.
I hate Rellana's Cameo and never intend to use it. Because then it's all just about using the same attack the whole time. That's not fun.
>>507233061Yep. Ignore and>trolling outside of /b/
>>507232890>duplicating your previously legitimately made game progress is "cheating">not wasting your time playing the same game that doesn't reward you for multiple playthroughs is *"cheating"*you have different problems I'm afraid >>507232882it's okay buddy, you can reply here, you don't have to make yourself so special, your retardation does that for you
>>507233410I didn't say it -IS- cheating, I said it -FEELS- like cheating. Learn how to read.
>>507232017Okay but if I fuck it up and get banned I'm blaming you.>>507232618Good morning Rya poster. I hope you are doing well.
>FC above SL120lmao, and people wonder why no one is joining
>>507233061don't compare my finely articulated posts to their textual sewage, it's a crafted discussion and I'm actually getting dialogue back instead of retarded name-calling and bitching. Only reason no one's noticed is because 167 is the lvl cap before downscaling starts and the less experienced players here wouldn't be crunching numbers regardless unless some tard blatantly cheated >>507233498the point is still there, semantics does not prove anything my good man. You do you tho
>507233614Go back
>>507233584Can't fuck up glorious merchant, get some mod launcher for extra safety.
This is yet another attempt from dsg to stir up drama with our comfy FCs, they are THIS jealous that our general lives and theirs is dead. Ignore, report, block. Nobody gives a fuck what level you are in FCs so long as you aren't doing cancerous shit or going to absurd heights. Do not respond to them.
>>507233061Because the people complaining about it don't play Elden ring, correct
>>507233410it is cheating you literally can not do it without using cheat engineguess what you fucking retard, it's souls everyone cheats to make builds don't get so upset>>507233326>much less sweatsit's the platform with the most players you just invade above 125 so you get the moron ranges>>507233584CE is not detected if you just play offline with the EZA workaround>>507233746erg FCs always have dsg in them babe

Does dsg do FCs? Like not as an insult, I'm actually wondering. I know they do den duels mod sometimes and obviously join ours here, but do they do their own or like Dark Soul FCs?
>>507234029Done, blocked all four. With any luck barring them will eventually make them fuck off.
>>507234658zero besides the ones where their den tranny shitposter waits for 3 hours for a single soul to join, thensomeone joins after 3 hours and does 1v1 for 1 hoursad life, i know
>>507234658none besides one tranny running den maps or them occasionally coming here and then complaining about offscreen magic
>>507234794I just said thatA long term 1v1 sounds kind of fun actually, though exhausting enough that I wouldn't want to do it
FC right now?
>>507234928BASED
>>507234907except for the part that xhe den maps axewound waits for 3 hours for someone to join
the erg fc begins in 1.5 hoursbrink your cosplays, shitters, meme builds, shitpost builds, under and over leveleds, and all of your off screen magic
>playing pvp on pc with the terrible lagno thanks
>>507234794>>507234894I was kind of hoping for an answer from someone from dsg since they'd actually know but I guess that's fair
>>507235263Sounds cool, I look forward to being a regular in a couple days. Have fun bros!
>>507235280A ps fc would be cool to have sometime
>>507235368I'm an ex dsg troon thougheverbeit
>>507235527proof?is your name featured on the blacklist?
>>507235490PS FCs are incredibly rare but always fun. I don't think we could get one going anytime soon though, just not enough PS players. I myself am switching to my steam deck just so I can join the PC FCs.
>>507235626I don't play with anyone, i just lurk both threads and it's funny to watch the axewound wait for literally hours and hours for some anon to join
>>507235527That's fair
>>507235527>thougheverbeitKys, you're not an "ex" anything. You're an actual dsgtroon.
>>507235280Sour grapes lmao

>>507238975Calm down Malanya.
>>507239131Nya nya~
>>507234907They can be fun if you've got some chill people and want to improve fundamentals. The problem though is most people either aren't interested in traditional 1v1s and/or get filtered by the terminally online mongoloids who haven't seen their front lawn in 5 days
>attack of the clones
>>507239327>gold poiseblobs with death shield on their backsCringe
>>507239327DEN maps are forever tainted (and for good reasons) as for trannies.
fc soonish
>>507239583>88 poise using some of the only good looking stuff is "poise blob"you have no clue what a real poise blob is, I was matching the guy's armor for fun>>507239941fair, stuff like that is why I switch weapons after every kill, keeps both sides entertained and engaged
>>507239327I like doing 1v1 combat ordeals but just like I get exhausted after 20 minutes
>>507240040No
>>507240104How do you know all the movesets?
>>507240113I don't want to alarm you, but that was a cute edit >>507239683why is it that the only people willing to do something for improvement are the mentally ill that need to live off of this game? I just wanted decent netcode and QoL without the deranged tryhards. Imagine if they focused their efforts on improving the combat ordeal arena mode>>507240436muscle memory honestly. Whether it's using all kinds of weapons over and over or battling against them, the toolbox comes with time. I also come from actual fightan so some of it comes naturally
>>507240881Kill yourself>>507240881Whenever i use a new weapon in FCs j always have to spend the first 30 seconds just swinging st the air while everyone else fights to try and learn all the attacks. Oh yeah I could never get into fighting games, I just don't understand the concept of a button doing a different thing depending on context. I've had people at parties try to teach me but it just never clicks so I always go with the simplest characters. I guess thatd where my view of elden ring weapons comes from. I like lethal League though
>>507240104>Ignoring the tryhard back shieldGood attempt to cherrypick you dumb nigger sweatlord
>>507241560all fair. In games like this, simple can be better honestly. Nothing complex is worth it if it can't be implemented, like IRL martial arts>507241734the "tryhard" shield does piss poor minimal buffs when you're low on health, I have it because it looks cool as fuck and weighs less. It's not cherry-picking, it's genuinely insignificant (see feathered branch talismans). You just don't know what tryhard is or are trying to get a rise out of me with that PTSD hateboner[-]
>>507242278>I have it because it looks cool as fuck and weighs less.You're not even using it as a fucking shield. You're carrying it specifically for the buff, stop lying. You never once use it to block or parry in that webm.
>>507241734>>507242278What does a shield on your back even do? I thought buffs on shields on back didn't work any more
Is this a dsgtroon falseflagging even more shit stirring? ignore it.
>>507242705They 100% still work.
>>507242751You know that even the breast of threads has arguements, right? It doesn't HAVE to be dsg or shitposting or dsh shitpostingTrust me, hug boxes where arguements aren't allowed are just as bad
>>507243380hehe breasts
>>507243380It's mindless arguing.
>>507242751can't completely tell as pvp threads the fine line between. dsg slime does find easy ammunition to shit stir with, but the local anti-pvp schizos just as easily sperg out at anything they don't like. Ignoring all the same since he's really obvious and has nothing to say
cope and seethe ergies
>>507243497Super fucked up that you would even say that
just edged for an hour then didn't cumwhen's the fc?
>>507243618The only one coping and seething is you because you're blocked from FCs and your general is dead lmao
nuh uh
>>507243976Whenever you start it big guy
not joining the ergy fc
>>507243976>>507244252NOW
God Ruins of Rauh is such a fucking maze. It's so hard to search every nook and cranny of this place when there's 50 different branching pathways and you can't tell which ones you've already been down.
i do not play this game but that op image fucked me up something good. dear lord.
>>507244540You should play it, it's goodIf you have a steam and think you could run it, I'll buy it for you
>>507244540Need more goon OPs then
>>507244540don't play it, she doesn't look that good in game >>507244608 is swindling you
>>507243976Good

>>507244674Well obviously she doesn't look THAT good but she's still really pretty.>>507246527Kys
>>507246758She looks jewish
>>507246758why doesn't she have any lore?
>>507247000not enough titsor nose even
>>507247072She does have lore, just not enough of it.
Katanas look so fucking kino with elemental gfx applied (cold, fire, lightning, etc), especially when youre swinging it.
>>507248098very true
I wonder what dragons feel when they're being riposted
>>507245404will you buy me nightreign too, sweetie?
>>507248584Yes
>>507248257>they were too lazy to give us this a a sorcery or grease so we have to break the game to get it
hello madison i am back. will you continue to ignore me or talk to me madison?
>>507248734...really?
>>507248734What's your job?
>>507248776You don't have to say that and what? It's just a public forum, not dms, what are you even talking about
>>507248805Yeah
>>507248986Oat reconstituter
Is it possible to beat this game without rolling? I wanted to try doing an immovable wall build using Vow of the Indomitable.
>>507248893>>507249146Oop
>>507249159yeah, a twitch streamer called Napstarf does a lot of goofy challenge runs like that
>>507249159there's a youtuber that did a run where he didn't even react to anything an enemy didso yes, it's possible>>507249052you're so nice, now if only you didn't hate yourself so much
>>507249159Very doable, maybe hard thoughNot sure how you'll do Malenia, but you should definitely try it if you're considering it
>>507249304Luckily one doesnt need to kill Malenia to beat the game
>>507249380You have to get two great runes, and she's the most logical demigod to do about after Godrick
>>507249295I'm not really, giving away stuff isn't inherently nice if it's just from boredom and nothing else to buy and what?
>go on /v/>go into the ragebait thread>half the webms are still mine
>>507249669link me
>>507249573it's nice to me, because I want things that I can't afford
>>507249748I will next time one is up.
>>507248986hello madison, i like saying your name.
>want to try new build>dont want to replay whole game>like all my current builds too much to respecfugg
>>507250862Copy save file
>>507250862just use CE
>>507250976Sounds good>>507252547Can you turn on summoning pools with CE?
>>507253025that's a built-in feature in vanilla nowuse CE if you want to mess with invasion regions
Nightreign makes me nervous. Story, lore, world building, and developing a unique character over the course of a playthrough is like 70% of what I like about these games and it seems like they're completely throwing these concepts to the side in favour of focusing on the frankly mediocre combat without making any significant adjustments ot that combat.
>>507253782it's what you like but it's not what the majority of people who play elden ring like. they just wanna play with the friends and fight shit. you are no longer the target audience
>>507253782I hope that "developing a unique character over the course of a playthrough" is doing a lot of lifting for that 70%, because otherwise you're retarded
>>507254214You seem to have taken my skepticism about Nightreign as some kind of personal attack.>>507254924Why?
I just hope Nightreign has more than the 40~ minutes of exploration it seems to haveExploring is all I like doing in these games
>>507253782My view of it is the fact that likeI dont think that even if like nightreign was never a thing, I dont think we'd be getting another game like any sooner
>first off, well done>therefore praise the message!>9999 appraisalsWhy are people like this? Is that really how easy it is? Just ask people to praise your shitty message and they'll automatically do it?
>>507255452That's not really my issue with it, my concern is that if Nightreign does well then that's only going to encourage Fromsoft's publishers and shareholders to lean harder into games like that until eventually we actually will start to get live service games and microtransactions and other bullshit like that.
>>507255696True, good pointI am excited for Nightreign but I guess like I would want it to be more of a one-off, I dont think I'd want them to not make games like normal anymore
>>507255551yeah those are popular after bosses and in early areas.all of my most popular messages are just me lying in front of random statues of marikas, except for skeleton and one where i just lie about bugs.
>>507256224image
>>507256224Im so sad, my most popular message was in jarburg before an update where the game lied and said there was a path up where like I left a message with the dejection emoji saying "map?" because it was wrong, but they did an update to fix the map and it stopped getting appraisalsMy second most popular one is in an area that kind of looks like anor londo with that infamous 2 archers thing where I left message say "no bow aheadtherefore stay calm!" with triumphant delight
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS GAMEPLAY FIREEEEE FRFR
how many characters do you have erg?
>>50725901420 characters as wellnice spread
>>507259014>>507259780How the fuck do you have 20? I thought the max was 10, thats how many I have.
>>507256819we need a message that's basically like "hey remember dark souls?"
>>507257918>didn't save the original filenameshame>>507257918your spare save files anon?
>>507260178copy and paste the elden ring folder in appdata>roaming
>>507260542And that doesn't fuck up online play or anything?
>>507260670nope, not at all
>>507260712Damn that's cool. Doesn't seem like most people know about this because if you google "elden ring more than 10 characters" it's just people complaining about the limit and nobody mentioning this work around.
>>507260853lol, I've been doing this since dark souls 1 and in other games like dragons dogma which only allowed 1 profile
>>507239683Doesn't help the fact that the dev of den maps is just a straight up tranny as well.
>>507261285>pvp map maker hasnt even played the dlc>also a troonall you can do is laugh
do i do a new run?pure dex is the one I haven't done but it sounds dreadful
>>507260853i just store my backups elsewhere and switch them out as needed since my 2nd account got banned>>507261640dreadful in the sense that it's braindead boring and easy unless you find some of the unique weapons
>>507261640It's not bad. Lots of good dex weapons.
>>507261640unsheathe, stormblade, thunder strike are all insane on dex buildsand thats without talismans that boost skill damage
pure str and pure dex are both really easy.
>>507261776>>507261727yeah, dreadful as in boring as shitfeels even more boring than str lions claw spam
>>507261640I did a pure dex run that was essentially just a blind swordsman cosplay and it was a lot of fun. I used the flowing curved sword and the fact that it's one of the weaker weapons in the game helps to make the experience feel more balanced.
>>507261490The ds3 tryhard pvper to mentally ill troon pipeline is very real.
>>507261989Pure scaling stat runs are really that hard. Hardest would probably be faith I guess, except it gets ancient dragon's lightning strike.
>>507262218*aren'tarc might be harder actually idk the ripple halberd is pretty good.
>>507262218Pure FTH is one of the best because you have a shitload of options though. Even if you wanna limit yourself to a single elemnt, pure FTH has access to three different ass elements
>>507262437what are the three ass elements?
>>507262437With pure faith you gotta rely on actually using incants all the time and you'll just be using the reliable ones like black fire ball and lighting spear. Faith works best hybrid since you get all the cool weapons with their ashes that are generally 10x better than 99% of incants with the exception of firestorm and adls.
>>507262703not really, pure FTH has two entire infusions and ashes that scale purely or mainly from FTH in every weapon class. FTH is legitimately the most versatile stat, you're never locked to doing A thing.

why are you guys like this
>>507269342nothing to do in elden ring, invasions and coop are dead and i've already played the pve 50 times
no-hit boss comp
which fashion should I pick for a pureblood knight guy? I hate that I have to kill Radahn just to get Ansbach's spell for this build
>>507270295ansbach chestthiollier arms and legsnot really a matching hood aside from confessor or sanguinehoslow shit looks terrible to me but maybe its just me
>>507269473>invasions and coop are deadBull shit, what RL and platform? I've been doing invasions all night.
>>507270763138 pcwhat's yours?
>>507270763250
>>507270836200 PS, super active.>>507271070Platform? 250 is probably too high though.
>>507270836>CBT range>faggot duelist, fake TT run or fogwall simulator rangelol. lmao.
>>507271223nice, wish I had a ps>>507271246what level do you recommend?
>>507271304>nice, wish I had a psIt has pros and cons. The main pros being a steady supply of invasions. The con though is there's never any FCs here for it, as the thread is 99% PC.
How many PS players are here? I think there's 3 or 4, including me.
>>507271304sub 90, 168 or unironically 301+ if you're feeling sillyyour best bet is going low to catch newfags hopping on for nightreign hypeyou on seamless or vanilla?
>>507271513vanilla
>>507271513>your best bet is going low to catch newfags hopping on for nightreign hypethe time to do that was back after the dlc came outI got countless low level invasions and tons of them wandering into limgrave colliseum but now its been nothing
Checked to make sure, and yep PS is very active. Got an invasion without any wait. They pulled the plug though.
>>507271724why would you go low level when the dlc came out? it's post Mohg and you didn't to be high level for the dlc so high level was very active too
>>507271828>and you wanted* to be high level for the dlc
>>507271828>why would you go low level when the dlc came out?every range was more activeand you would catch people making new charactersI got summoned alot too at those lower ranges
>>507271614holy fuck you really hate ur lifethat's genuinely just a fogwall simulator
>>507272006wouldn't you rather play on a high level character to coop and invade in the new, fresh dlc areas while using your new dlc equipment?
>>507271505Me at least, I'm here off and on but I've been a regular since day one. Currently remaking my characters on PC though so I can actually participate in FCs.
>>507272084what's seamless like? I've never really touched any elden ring mods
>>507272146I did that toobut almost no one had any shadow blessings so its spend 2 minutes getting summonedhost dies instantly in one of the bosses many whole screen grab attacks and be sent back instantly
>>507272249>what's seamless like?it gets rid of all of the arbitrary matchmaking systems of summoning randoms or pw phantoms via the fingers and doesnt limit horse use or prevent you from going through all map areasin vanilla you can get summoned for leyendell and go down into the sewers but get blocked by invisible wallsthe mod turns all of that shit offremoves PC lat, and also you can disable invasions if you want. npc ones still happen though.we've done seamless runs here before it was alot of fun
>>507272249The invasions are more artificial in nature, but the functions are much smoother and player friendly. Some things on here may be caveats>faster queues >better connections using new netcode>spawnpoints are still ass but at least you get an infinite tool for respawns instead of 3>matchmaking is based off of the highest lvl player in someone's world (meaning no more gay PW summons unless someone bypasses or cheats)>no world borders unfortunately so open world is hell with torrent>can spawn into non pvp areas (usually means carian library or roundtable)>3 player world lets you call for a co>6 player limit is back with dried finger item>resummoning is dead but people can DC using mist (exposes crybaby cowards lmao)>slight anti-cheat active but doesn't fringe on performancethe biggest thing I'd say is because seamless has been invasion free for 2 years, a lot of the players (and I mean ALOT) of them don't know what they're doing (potentially even worse than vanilla players) unless they specifically came to pvp, in which you'll be dealing with cancer duelists. Still very much worth a try if you're having dead hours tho
>>507273051>a lot of the players (and I mean ALOT) of them don't know what they're doing (potentially even worse than vanilla players) unless they specifically came to pvpI've only lost in seamless invasions to gravity and getting blendered after being stuck in a wallthey're the most incompetent players I've ever encountered.
I've beaten Gaius like four times and the only way I've ever managed to beat him is by simply being tanky enough to trade with him.
>>507273229the problem is luke not forcing retards to go into their settings and turn off invasions if they want to before playing. At first, it's funny at all dunking on them, but after a while it's just boring and you know they're seething in confusion. At least some of them are nice, which lets me relax and mess around. I've given a ton of items to people who fought till the last flask instead of DCing once their buddies were gone
>>507272580>we've done seamless runs here before it was alot of funwe should do more to practice for nightreign!
>>507273419>to people who fought till the last flask instead of DCing once their buddies were goneyeah I gotta respect those.
>>507273625Nightreign is going to be shit and die within a month, fuck off.
>>507273853Nightreign is going to be amazing and will be the future of the series, hop aboard.
>>507273959
>>507273372If you stay close he doesn't do the chargeno runes cause hitless attempts + no flask)quality low cause bad webm maker i used 6 months agocut short cause quality was even worse.
How can From redeem themselves in Nightreign hypothetically after the disaster of SOTE? Like we /erg/ collectively forgive them and sing their praises again.
>>507275430SOTE was a massive success
I know this sounds overdramatic but I don't think any moment in any video game has ever made me feel as sad as the shaman village
>>507276206are you a girl?
>>507276406Nah just a very emotional dude predisposed to melancholy. Just makes me sad to think about how Marika must have felt having her entire clan kidnapped and tortured.
>>507276716I didn't even know that happened to them when I arrived.
>>507277031In order to get to the shaman village in the first place you have to go through Bonny village which tells you all about what the hornsent did to the shamans. I'll admit a big reason as to why I find it so sad is probably just the music. I appreciate how it's the Elden Ring theme you hear on the menu screen but stripped of every instrument except the strings.

>>507277385>>leave most important questions in base game unansweredThis is par for the course. Who's Velka? We went three games without an actual answer. Sometimes not knowing and being forced to speculate is far better than being given a definite answer.

>>507275430>>507277385Cope. SOTE was fucking kino, the community loved it. Just because you personally hated it does not mean it was a failure.
>>507277385>>make Malenia - an insanely determined swordmaster and general set on helping her twin realize his vision enough to forsake her honor and embrace the rot she desperately wants to be rid of to win - a fujoshiFujoshi literally translates to "rotten woman". Malenia is infected with terminal Scarlet Rot. The writing was on the wall all along, you can't blame FROM for your own lack of foresight.
why are duelists so toxic?
>>507279403They're failures in real life so this is all they have.

>>507282434i live in australia but yeah the fcs are fun when they start, even if they only go for like 30 minutes
The DLC ruined Mohg. I want my "awesome fucking evil demon from Google images" boss back.
>>507280846i love playing elden ring around dinner time and getting 20 asian and south american players in a row
>>507282589The DLC fucking SALVAGED Mohg. Before the DLC he was a gay incestuous pedophile.
>>507282404Miquella seriously, honestly, literally, objectively, did nothing wrong.
>>507283413Hes still a gay incestuous pedophile, now he's also just a pawn and has no apparent personality. I liked when he was just the most evil thing ever, a demon lord with a trident, flame powers, a literal lake of blood in his demonic palace made of human sacrifices, and a sinister
>>507283564He manipulated Mohg.
>>507283580>>507283609There is no evidence whatsoever that Miquella forced Mohg to kidnap him. In all likelihood Miquella only charmed Mohg after Mohg made that decision on his own.
>>507283609Mohg is a demon-worshipping blood cultist who created a group of murderers. Miquella didn't make him do that.
>>507283767grasping at straws
>>507283854Miquella bullied Mohg.
>>507283767Maybe but the DLC never makes either answer clear so the sum total of it is that Mohg has no discernable personality and motive now.
miquella did something so i killed him because i dont want competition
I'm genuinely worried we will never get another video game as large, high quality, and fun as Elden Ring. Nightreign is quite literally the definition of cheap asset flip slop, so FROM seems to be doing exactly what they said they were gonna do and not make anymore gigantic games and instead create smaller projects. Who the fuck else could fill this void? No other dev is left with any sort of ability.
>Mike>Ronnie>MelanieWho else?
>>507284087I love cheap asset flip slop. I hope we don’t get another souls game that’s open world and takes ten billion years to complete with dlc that ruins the lore. Fromsoftware should go back to making smaller souls games. Something the size of bloodborne is fine.
>>507284049>Mohg has no discernable personality and motive now.False. We can glean from Varre and Ansbach that Mohg was genuinely a nice guy and trying to make the world a better place, believing his dynasty was the only way to create a world filled with love and free of suffering. Miquella fucked that all up though.
>>507284136Rick
>>507284212>Mohg was genuinely a nice guyThe demon-looking monster who worship the formless mother?
>>507284183Go back to dsg fag
>>507284281Don't judge a book by its cover, Mohg isnt a demon, he's a hornsent/omen. And while we have no reason to believe the Formless Mother is altruistic, we have no reason to believe she is evil either. In fact what little evidence we have of her points towards altruism.
>>507284313>dsg boogeymanYou’re legitimately retarded, have fun playing ‘cheap asset flip slop’ or nothing at all for the next decade.
>>507284439low qual bait tbqh
>>507284426>Mohg isnt a demonTell that to my silver sword planted in his chest.
>>507284439I'll just keep playing elden ring lmao, also Monster Hunter Wilds is dropping soon and that'll entertain me for a while. I won't be touching Nightreign though, literal fucking garbage.
>>507284493Retarded lorelet. Besides I'm pretty sure no swords in the game are even made of silver.
>>507284426are demons even a thing in elden ring
>>507284621ad hom
>>507284659As far as I'm aware, no.>>507284678Addressing your lack of knowledge on the lore and pointing out no swords in the game are silver isn't an ad hominem, stop using words when you don't know what they mean.
>>507284831>another ad hom
>>507284621>I'm pretty sure no swords in the game are even made of silverMine is. It's a sword made for monsters.
>>507284659Mohg tells Okina that to join him is to live the life of a demon. I think this is literally the only time that word is ever used in ER.
>>507284881Ah I see, I'm arguing with a dsg shitposter. I'll stop replying to you now.
>>507284906Which sword?
>>507284659>are demons even a thing in elden ringDemons as in from hell? No.Demons as in tainted existences from another horrible world? Yes, that's what the hornsent are.
>>507284935>red herring fallacy
>>507285036>Demons as in tainted existences from another horrible world? Yes, that's what the hornsent are.Retarded lorelet.
>>507285036Hornsent are not from another world. The land of shadows used to be part of the lands between and Hornsent were the dominant ones until Marika ascended to godhood and flipped the script, genociding the FUCK out of them and cutting the land of shadows off from the rest of the world. Hell hornsent aren't even a different species, biologically they are human, they just won some crucible gacha lottery and got born with horns and superpowers. Two of Marika's own children ended up omen/hornsent for fucks sake. Anyone can have omen/hornsent children in this world at random.
>>507285286Hornsent are born hornsent because they are cursed by one of the outer gods, right? The crucible?I haven't played SotE, so I don't really know.
>>507285343The Crucible isn't an outer god, it's the primordial form of the Erdtree before the Elden Beast showed up. It's not a curse, it's genuinely a blessing. It was even seen as a blessing before Marika ascended, through AGGRESSIVE genocide and propaganda, she had Hornsent renamed "Omens" and had their blessing now viewed as a curse instead. This is all because hornsent massacred and genocided her own people of course, making her hardcore racist against them. Her vendetta ran so deep she even chained up and abandoned her own hornsent children in a sewer.
>>507285343Hornsent are cursed with wraiths inhibiting them and giving them nightmares. It's also noted in the DLCs that horned beings are good vessels for spirits. The implication being that they're haunted by spirits of the Hornsent.This doesn't really explain Dung Eater's ending though which clearly portrays being an Omen/Hornsent as a terrible fate
>>507284426I seriously doubt that Miquella made Mohg create the bloody fingers who at their core exist for no other reason than to invade and kill other people. The worst part of the DLC is how it convinced thousands of players that Ansbach and Mohg are "le heckin good bois who did nothing wrong"
>>507284906WOAH DUUUUDE REDDIT WITCHER??
>>507285554>through AGGRESSIVE genocide and propaganda, she had Hornsent renamed "Omens"lorelet
>>507285554It's not a curse but it's not exactly a blessing either. The "blessing" of the crucicble often causes babies to die prematurely.
Us Hornsent were blessed by the crucible and we were destined to become gods.
>>507285863The bloody fingers only invade and kill other tarnished which serve the fingers and the GW, direct enemies to Mohg and his dynasty. It makes perfect fucking sense to hunt them down, they seek to restore the order he wants to replace. Besides, tarnished are given every opportunity to switch to Mohg's side. Varre doesn't just present himself to us, Roderika knew of him too. He goes around offering to join the dynasty to the tarnished, if they decline and remain slaves of the fingers they get hunted. Simple.
>>507286045>It makes perfect fucking sense to hunt them down, they seek to restore the order he wants to replace.Then that doesn't make them good or bad, simply self-serving.
>>507286019>The "blessing" of the crucicble often causes babies to die prematurely.No it didn't. Cutting off their HORNS caused them to die prematurely, something done because the horns are seen as a curse in Marika's order. You read that item description incorrectly.
>>507286145>Cutting off their HORNS caused them to die prematurely, something done because the horns are seen as a curse in Marika's orderTheir horns grow into their brains if not cut, like some rams.
>>507286145From the Horned Bairn description:>Tangled horns are a symbol of spirituality, but most young born bearing the oversized horns meet a frightfully early demise. These fetishes are made to memorialize them.
>>507286129If the order they seek to establish is truly one of love and benevolence, it could definitely mean they are good. Especially since Marika's order is known to be flawed by basically every NPC with a brain we talk to. That said to play devils advocate, we don't have concrete evidence the Formless Mother is good. She could be pulling a fast one, we know very little about her. She SEEMS altruistic, but there isn't anywhere near enough lore on her to guarantee that.
>>507286303>If the order they seek to establish is truly one of love and benevolence, it could definitely mean they are goodIt's sadomasochistic "love" you retard. Varre is a blood fetishist serial killer gimp. And Mohg kidnapped him.
>>507286192>>507286245Never had that item, fair enough, my bad. Either way though this just seems like an unfortunate tragedy. Being born a hornsent is definitely framed as a blessing in the context of the lore. You literally get free superpowers.
>>507286303>If the order they seek to establish is truly one of love and benevolenceYet Ansbach says Miquella's age of compassion is terrifying. I'm pretty sure Varre's idea of "love" is heavily perverted.
>>507286396>Being born a hornsent is definitely framed as a blessing in the context of the lore. You literally get free superpowers.You get superpowers if you become a vessel for a kami. It isn't free.
>>507286354That's one possible interpretation/headcanon, yes, but there's not enough evidence to definitively claim that. Don't call others "retard" when you're literally spouting theories as fact.>>507286407>Yet Ansbach says Miquella's age of compassion is terrifying.Because Miquella's idea of "compassion" is robbing people of free will so they are forced to become docile. He even does this to you when you fight Radahn if he grabs you twice, resulting in an instant loss.
WHy did the hornesent granny say that marika betrayed the hornsent? I thought shamans and hornsent were enemies
>>507283564Mike did everything wrong. Biggest retard and fuck up in ER
>>507286635We only have theories on the subject, but it seems the hornsent wanted Marika to ascend to godhood initially. It's possible they NEEDED an empyrean for the task and none of them qualified, but she did. Because of this they allowed her to ascend with the promise she would treat them well, but she was only acting the part. Once she became a God? All bets were off, death to the hornsent.
>>507286635There's nothing concrete but maybe Marika was the closest thing the Hornsent ever got to achieving "sainthood" through their jar fuckery so they considered her one of them
>>507286498>You get superpowers if you become a vessel for a kami. It isn't free.What the fuck are you even talking about? Kami? We are discussing elden ring you fuck.
>>507286941Not him but outer gods are de facto kami

>>507287057>kamiPoint out one instance of this word in elden ring you dumb ass weeb.
>>507287087What do you think a kami is?
>>507286941The Hornsent are Shinto and their strongest warriors are living shintai. This is what you see happen in the Divine Beast (literally "beast kami" in the Japanese text) fight, a kami being summoned to inhabit the two Hornsent dancers. In the Japanese text both the Horned Warriors and the body of Mohg that Mike inhabits are specifically called yorishiro, a Shinto religious term for an object capable of attracting kami (which again, is literally these spirits are called in the original text), thus giving them a physical space to occupy during religious ceremonies.This is why they have a divine gate linked to the spirit world (torii) and why said gate has bundles of ropes on it (shimenawa).
>>507287067he definitely has the strongest army. i think with his black knights he would destroy any other demi god other than radahn
>>507287305Is the "beast" in "divine beast" really "kami" and not "kemono"? That seems surprising.
>>507287067>>has the most content by farI'd argue Ranni or Miquella has the most.>>his whole faction has more content than the other factions, and he's the only demigod who gets a totally unique enemy setI don't know if this is true. What do you mean by "unique enemy set"? Because if it's just a unique type of enemy, Rykard has the man-serpents unique to him. Malenia has the pests (she hates them but the fact remains they are loyal to her) and cleanrot knights, etc>>isn't the strongest himself but has by far the strongest army of any demigod including strategic weapons no one else had access toI mean to be fair all the other ones had their armies butchered in the shattering. We don't know how mighty their forces were prior. Messmer didn't take part, his armies have just been splattering hornsent blood everywhere since he got there.>>the ONLY character in all of the lore that Marika put any effort into savingShe didn't really save him, just sealed the snake that would have presumably consumed him or something. The others never had anything that dire going on except Godwyn getting murdered.>>heavily implied to be Marika's firstborn (he's at least older than Radahn who's older than all the others except Godfrey's)By the lore Mohg, Morgott, and Godwyn must be her eldest children. It's VERY clear Messmer and Melina were sired by Radagon, seemingly before he left to go fuck around in Liurnia to justify Messmer being older than Radahn. Evidence for this are Messmer's hair and clear resemblance to Radagon and the fact that both Messmer and Melina ended up fucked curse babies like the twins.>>his campaign was the bloodiest in-universeThe shattering is said to be the greatest of all wars.>>his actions drive the motivations of many other characters, from the Hornsent NPC to Radahn to Leda to Miquella himself via retcon (he's doing this cutting emo shit because he feels bad about the Total Hornsent Death)They aren't his actions. Marika told him exactly what to do.
>>507287067>>the ONLY character in all of the lore that Marika put any effort into savingShe used him for her own ends and then abandoned him
>>507287305塔の守護者たる重装の戦士の霊体神降ろしにより、人ならぬ膂力を得大曲剣を振るい、それに角を降ろす塔では、戦士も、その武器も、依り代なのだ

>>507287441神獣獅子舞
>>507287826I don't speak Jap but google translate says "kamikemono" so I was partially right.
>>507287367>>507287708See:>>507287567>I mean to be fair all the other ones had their armies butchered in the shattering. We don't know how mighty their forces were prior. Messmer didn't take part, his armies have just been splattering hornsent blood everywhere since he got there.Messmer has the biggest strongest army now, but only because his didn't fight in the shattering. We got no fucking idea how the others at full power would have compared.
>>507287567>By the lore Mohg, Morgott, and Godwyn must be her eldest children. It's VERY clear Messmer and Melina were sired by Radagon, seemingly before he left to go fuck around in Liurnia to justify Messmer being older than Radahn. Evidence for this are Messmer's hair and clear resemblance to Radagon and the fact that both Messmer and Melina ended up fucked curse babies like the twins.I'm fairly sure Messmer predates everyone and was a bastard child, hence why Radahn is said to have saw him LIKE a brother instead of knowing Messmer was literally his brother.
>>507285554>This is all because hornsent massacred and genocided her own people of course, making her BASEDFixed it for you.
>>507287917The others at full power didn't have artifical Fire Giants they can burn entire cities and are basically invulnerable.
>>507287920Or you know, like I said, Radagon knocked up Marika before leaving for Liurnia. The game DIRECTLY STATES the golden lineage are Marika's firstborn, read Godrick's rune. By fucking definition, Messmer must have come after Godwyn and the omen twins.>>507287925Agreed.
>>507285554I think the entire point of the dlc is showing that like whether something is a blessing or a curse is entirely relative to whether youre alligning with it
>>507288061You're correct to an extent but the thing is you can't really align with the Crucible or be against it. It's not a being, it's just life. It's the primordial form of the erdtree and it randomly makes people into hornsent and gives them powers. It just exists, it isn't a conscious sentient thing. Just a natural process of life in this world.
>>507288018>The game DIRECTLY STATES the golden lineage are Marika's firstborn, read Godrick's rune. By fucking definition, Messmer must have come after Godwyn and the omen twins.It's said that Godfrey and his lineage were the first demigods. Demigod is a political title as shown by Rennala's children (and Godfrey). I don't think Messmer was acknowledged as a demigod until later, if he ever was. But he's implied to have veen around for a very long time.Morgott and Mohg in particular basically can't predate him because the game heavily implies that they only exist because of a Hornsent curse on Marika. And also, Morgott is filled with vengeful wraiths, like all Omen, going by his bairn statue thing. Which only make sense as angry Hornsent.
>>507287367>>507287917Messmer's army is on fucking crack.>foot soldiers>soldiers>knightsis the normal situation but then messmer is like fuck it, we'll have two different types of knights in my army, the black knights AND fire knights + huge fucking wickermen dudes that rain 2hu hell projectiles on everyone or fucking orbital bombardment fire lasers. The only thing I could see doing work against those wickermen are the gigantic perfumer ballista things from the base game's trailer.
>>507288330>Demigod is a political title as shown by Rennala's children (and Godfrey).No, it isn't. You genuinely have powers as a demigod. These are attained by being the offspring of a God or marrying one and becoming Lord. Otherwise, there'd be no reason for Enia to mention Godrick's "demigod blood" being "sorely diluted". As for Rennala's kids, you do know Radagon is part of Marika, right? He's essentially a God himself to an extent, and as such his children are demigods.>I don't think Messmer was acknowledged as a demigod until laterIrrelevant, he's still a demigod.>Morgott and Mohg in particular basically can't predate him because the game heavily implies that they only exist because of a Hornsent curse on Marika.Marika betrayed the hornsent the second she became a God, Messmer's crusade came later.
>>507288354Elden Ring Total War when
>>507288665fuck you madison that game is shit kill yourself
>>507288801You dont have to say that, and yeah Elden Ring is pretty bad youre right
>>507288801piss off total war is fun.Dont bully maddy!
>>507288665Messmer's army is too OP... nothing can compare. Leyndell's army could probably take down a few wickermen with their giga sarin gas ballista bolts, but yeah everything would be fucked. Malenia's army is probably the next most powerful in terms of troop quality. And she does end up nuking caelid so she has that advantage none of the other demigods have. The hornsent would be up there with messmer's army though. >three types of superman giga nigga knights>god knows how many lion dancers they had before messmer curbstomped them>those fatty mages, and jori inquisitor types>the insane spira homing attack shit>proto stone golem birds with homing magic attacks
hi madison! how has your day been? eaten any hardtack lately?
>>507289082Total War not total war
>>507289082>>proto stone golem birds with homing magic attacksI don't think the game mentions these serving the hornsent anywhere, does it?
>>507289082Malenia's problem is that all her regions turn scarlet, which drops ressources output.
>>507289202I mean they are protecting the roofstops of enir ilim and there's a supernigga hornsent up there too so I figured they were?>>507289204lmao
>>507289369I mean, you CAN buy the upgrade Miquella's Unalloyed Needle, but it's a long, annoying quest that requires you to take over Farum Azula and find the One Ri- I mean the One Miquella.
>>507289369I mean it's possible, but it's also entirely possible they protect the rooftops because they just kinda live there you know? Don't think we can count 'em because they might just roost wherever.
>>507289089I've literally just been here, you don't have to say that
>>507289435There's probably some lore reason behind them being there idk>Gravebirds are ancient golems, created to guard the spiritgraves built where all manners of Death ultimately drift.>The spirit of an old golem and spiritgrave keeper, who flies with stone wings and spouts ghostflame. According to legend, the Gravebirds were crafted to be kindred to the Deathbirds.
>>507289609do you like saying 'you don't have to say that', madison? it's become your catchphrase it seems
>>507289870>>507289870>>50728987
>>507289435I feel like the fact that they don't infight kind of is a little striking, since the game is pretty open to making noc fights but I don't think you ever see that comboPlus like ghostflame dragon which could be sort of related fights the blck knights
>>507289916No? You dont have to say that, just when you input the same saying the same thing, why do you expect a different output/saying something elseIf you type 2+2 into a calculator do you pog and get confused about the fact that it always says 4?
>>507290225what 'same thing' am i saying, madison? your name? i post something different every time. you're getting a bit heated i see, you should let me hand feed you hardtack to calm you down
>>507290735YesKill yourself
>>507290818madison why would you tell me to kill myself? i'm hurt
>>507286635marika gained power through their jar alchemy so she belonged to them, as the hornsent saw it. but marika, as ever, refused to ignore the trees for the forest
