Dark Souls + Demon's Souls + Bloodborne Megathread XIII. The Ringed City - Games

[QUOTE=Blazedol;52056963][Sp]i really don't think the npc buddies are supposed to serve as mirrors for the main characters, though, at least not like Gael. maybe Solaire is, but i feel that's more of a coincidence than an intended parallel.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Solaire is meant to be an intentional parallel, or at the very least an intended coincidence. So long as you follow his story his very much matches yours.[/sp]

[QUOTE=J!NX;52056969][sp]Solaire is meant to be an intentional parallel, or at the very least an intended coincidence. So long as you follow his story his very much matches yours.[/sp][/QUOTE] [Sp]His story does, but his character doesn't. If anything he's more of a foil to the chosen undead, since he's (seemingly) acting on his own volition rather than being used and manipulated by giant snakes, and also has a lot more personality than the chosen undead. And if you go for the dark ending it's even more apparent.[/sp]

[QUOTE=karolisoz;52056935][Sp]Gael was suppose to be a complete nobody. Just like the Ashen One. I suggest you read this interpretation since it puts my thoughts into words better than I could: https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/62cutp/spoilers_the_story_of_dark_souls_3s_dlc_or_why_i/[/sp] [/QUOTE] [sp]You know, in a strange/silly kind of way, I kind of like the idea that the DLCs are about telling people to get over that Dark Souls is ending/over.[/sp] Especially with[sp]how Patches says, "A fine dark soul, to you.",[/sp]It seems a bit tongue in cheek for some reason. :v:

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;52056638]Does the hornet ring work against bosses?[/QUOTE] Yes, it just increases the damage, no new animations or anything.

Finally got around completing the DLC so I can read into this thread, the twin UGS is fucking disgusting

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52050122]Are you using Prisoner's Chain? We've gone over how bad that ring is.[/QUOTE] Prisoner's chain is bad now? It has been my favorite ring for stat padding [editline]4th April 2017[/editline] I'm bummed my main character isn't female so I can't wear high heels from the new DLC

Its actually very good on low level characters, I used it on my SL1, benefits on such characters outweigh the -10% resists.

[QUOTE]Ashen Ones, Dark Souls III will be updated to regulation version 1.32. This update will not require a new patch, the update will be deployed at the following time on April 5th (a short server maintenance should be expected): JST: 6:00pm CEST: 11:00am PST: 2:00am The update will bring the following changes: - Reduced damage of the light arrows fired by "Angels" - The sorcery "Hidden Body" is now effective against "Angels" - Reduced the damage of homing spears released from "Spear of the Church" - Reduced the amount of bonus absorption the "Spear of the Church" receives during 1vs2, 1vs3 and 1vs4 games (1vs1 is unaffected) - Reduced the amount of HP "Church Guardian" has during a 1vs1 match (1vs2, 1vs3 and 1vs4 are unaffected) - Increased damage and scaling of simple, crystal, fire, chaos, lightning, dark, deep and blessed infusions - Increased damage of raw infusions - Reduced damage and scaling of heavy infusions at lower weapon levels - Increased scaling of sharp infusions, and increased damage gain at high levels of dexterity - Reduced scaling of heavy infusions on lighter weapons - Reduced damage of "Exile Greatsword" - Reduced damage for L1(LB) attacks, and increased stamina consumption for L2(LT) attacks and weapon art "Ember" of "Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords" - Fixed a bug where the weapon art "Wind Wheel" of "Splitleaf Greatsword" was applying more status effects than intended - Fixed a bug where fully charged R2(RT) attacks of "Profaned Greatsword" and "Black Knight Greatsword" were not consuming additional stamina - Fixed a bug where the weapon art of "Preacher's Right Arm" would combo for more hits than intended - Fixed a bug where the weapon art of "Painting Guardian's Curved Sword" would combo for more hits than intended - Increased damage of Toxic dealt by players, but reduced the penalty to stamina regeneration May the flame guide you way.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]- [B]Reduced damage of "Exile Greatsword"[/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]- [B]Reduced damage for L1(LB) attacks, and increased stamina consumption for L2(LT) attacks and weapon art "Ember" of "Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords"[/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]- [B]Fixed a bug where the weapon art of "Painting Guardian's Curved Sword" would combo for more hits than intended[/B][/QUOTE] :dogcited: :dogcited: :dogcited: :dogcited: :dogcited:

Seems like low-level strength builds are getting slightly nerfed, while dex builds are being buffed. Interesting. Also thank fuck they reduced the damage the angels deal. Fuck those guys.

Better damage and scaling on Sharp weapons... [sp]Lothric Greatsword meta D:[/sp]

[quote]- Increased damage and scaling of simple, crystal, fire, chaos, lightning, dark, deep and blessed infusions - Increased damage of raw infusions[/quote] Hmmmmmm. HMMMMMMMMM.

Seems like they want natural STR weapons to benefit more from Heavy infusion, cause right now you can just slap it on anything and enjoy A-S scaling even on dex gear. Also dumb nerf for Spear of the Church. Just why.

[QUOTE=Raxas;52057590]Hmmmmmm. HMMMMMMMMM.[/QUOTE] Get ready for some even more potent RAW ASS

Nice. I just respecced to a near pure dex build too.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;52056638]Does the hornet ring work against bosses?[/QUOTE] Anything that can take critical damage takes bonus from the hornet as far as I remember. Now that I think about it, whatever happened to that weapon that could land random crits anyways [editline]4th April 2017[/editline] Or was it a armor piece I just know it was in ds2

It has been my favorite ring for stat padding [editline]4th April 2017[/editline] I'm bummed my main character isn't female so I can't wear high heels from the new DLC[/QUOTE] Prisoners ring has always been absolute shit I have no idea why anyone would use a ring that straight up negates 10% of damage reduction for almost no health in return for the loss, and not enough extra vitality to actually carry enough either. Not only that but at 40 endurance PC gives nothing to that because 40 is the hard cap (You get 1 point after that every 10 levels in end) ring of favor + 2 is 100% where its at. PrisonChain is just fucking stupid.

[QUOTE=J!NX;52057836]ring of favor + 2 is 100% where its at. [/QUOTE] Ring of Favor [b]+3[/b] now. I'm so glad that's a thing. [editline]4th April 2017[/editline] That and the Chloranthy ring +3 feel so nice when you put them on a build.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;52057602]Also dumb nerf for Spear of the Church. Just why.[/QUOTE] probably for those players who run around endlessly using just the spears, then using the spear item so they can cast a healing miracle to extend the fight to ungodly lengths

i've literally never experienced that the fights i've been summoned to have all been some poor bastard getting whaled on 1v4

[QUOTE=Raxas;52057590]Hmmmmmm. HMMMMMMMMM.[/QUOTE] Doing my Chaos Caestus run as Steelheart Ellie, this should help greatly for myself :v: [QUOTE] Increased damage of Toxic dealt by players, but reduced the penalty to stamina regeneration[/QUOTE] I wonder if it's related to a bug\exploit. There's a way to make bosses\enemies stand still if combined with multiple status effects like Frost\Toxic. Both status effect affect stamina and i wonder if the enemy stands still if they reach negative stamina.

I took my new role as [sp]a Spear of the Church[/sp] [I]incredibly seriously[/I] [IMG]https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17796203_10210936421917930_2369581638683359461_n.jpg?oh=199fc61ffd9b894712f704defe130b58&oe=595727AC[/IMG] That's the Dragonslayer Spear. It was the relatively best spear for my quality build character. If some of you have any nice idea for a golden armored [sp]Spear[/sp] instead, I'm open to suggestions: I couldn't find any nice combination on my own

Is it just me, or is literally [B][I]everybody[/I][/B] using the goddamn Ringed Dual Greatswords? I've just gone into 5 separate duel matches and every single one of my opponents has been using these swords.

I Think The Game Just Hates You For Some Reason. Or Maybe Im Just Lucky.

Got R2 Charged by a Profaned UGS :v:

They're buffing raw? I already have almost 400 ar, it doesn't seem like it needs a buff.

Fuck. I was fighting Midir solo with nothing but Pestilent Mercury and a Black Knight Shield, and just before he died, he fucking killed me. He was literally in the middle of his death animation before the game cut to the loading screen, and when I went back to check, he was still fucking there and I have to do it all again. Well at least I know I can do it now. :v:
