Darkwraith master race

Darkwraith master race

Armor look cool, however the weapon and power is not my cup of tea (darkwraith)

>tfw cant play DSII 'cause GPU fried.
Have a screenshot.

Is Co op rare in the dlc or something? Or am I just playing at a different level to most people. 'Cos I never saw a single human player summon sign. I had to do that damn 3way gank boss solo

Dark Souls 1 dlc? Depends on what area you're in, Oolacile Township is a pvp hotspot.

She's pretty much useless after obtaining great chaos fireball and gives you both 5k souls and a fire keeper soul when you kill her. Unless you're planning on spending 30 humanity to open the shortcut, there's no point in keeping her alive.

I only joined the chaos covenant because i didn't want Solaire to go hollow.

Yeah, I was lazy and just sprayed poison mist through the shortcut door to kill the damn bug

Anyone else glad that crits are getting nerfed in DKS2?

Tru facts.

Critical hits, being backstabs and ripostes. As you may have noticed if you're into DS2 PVP, most backstabs or ripostes hit a lot harder than their DS1 counterparts, even when wearing the hornet's ring.

In DS1, getting a one shot kill on a player with relatively high vitality required a massive damage output (crystal demon greataxe, for example) combined with the hornet's ring taking up one out of two ring slots.

In DS2, dealing over 1800 damage (which either gets you the kill or basically wins you the fight) for a simple backstab with a very large amount of weapons is very common.

It's a very good thing From is balancing critical hits because, a lot more so than in DS1, fights usually come down to whoever can get off a backstab first. On that note, they're also going to fix buffstacking, which was also a massive problem in DS2. You wouldn't believe how many people I've fought that started each match off by staying back and casting 4 consecutive buffs (sunlight blade, sacred oath, numbness and resonant flesh) to become basically unstoppable.

Ah right yeah I wasn't sure if he meant just backstabs or parries or both. And yeah it is quite ridiculous how that is working out in Dark Souls II. I mean I'm not really a pvp person at least in Dark Souls, and even still the amount of people I've seen, designing their builds around just doing one shot critical kills is quite ridiculous.

I can parry just fine with my hand. Hue

You know, I enjoy Souls II. The campaign is fun, co-op is fine, and to some extent, the pvp is okay. But the more I play pvp, the less I want to. From really needs to get their shit in gear on that and balance some shit.

They built their pvp on the basis of New Game +, which was a bad move. They hid all the good shit on higher New Games, made invasion rates higher, and made everything in New Game + more pvp friendly. But they didn't realize something which should have been so damn obvious from the start.

Because of soul memory, capping yourself is useless. So what that means is, the higher level you go, all you'll see is the same shit over and over. The gameplay style is reminiscent of what happens to play-doh when you think you're going to make rainbow play-doh by mixing all the colours together and instead you just get a big grey blob. Every player and their grandmother uses the same buffs, the same armour, the same weapons, and every fucking pvp fight turns into what inconsistency happens to who first.

And that's the other problem. PvP just isn't fucking consistent. I met a player yesterday, who threw one black firebomb at me and took out a quarter of my health. I couldn't roll them, and he just used his free win button because there was fuck all I could do. So, I was curious, because a few weeks back, when I was bored, I started chucking urns and bombs at people as a joke because at the most they did 38 damage. So I asked him what level he was to be doing so much fucking damage to me. Surely he had to be way higher than me right?

I'm currently level 280. He was level 315. I mean fucking seriously? You're telling me that a gap in levels that fucking small results in a black firebomb I threw doing 38-50 damage at most while his did fucking 500? It's this type of stupid fucking inconsistent bullshit, along with all the high level metas and the community's currently shitty fucking attitude about pvp that make me just want to drop everything and leave.

Do you really expect me to win when I'm fighting somebody who's got every buff under the sun, and crystal magic on a dagger that has the range of the demon spear from the first souls that could two shot me, when the free hitsies mechanic is active and I'm using a fucking napkin hammer that does a whopping 680 points of nothing for damage because it's not buffed or magiclly enhanced?

Do you really expect me to have any fucking fun when I'm wearing havels gear and am in mid swing and some jolly cunt with a fucking dagger breaks my swing because of how fucking random LOLpoise is? Or how about we reverse the tables and I smash a napkin character wearing nothing but underwear upside the head with a hammer but he's able to out stunlock me and his swings aren't broken?

God fucking dammit this inconsistent shit put alongside a fucking community that only plays to two shot you, alongside lame ass metas pisses me right the fuck off some days.

I'd consider turning all my profiles into sunbros for the jolly co-op but then I realized From was too fucking busy nerfing every god damn miracle under the sun into wet napkins while buffing and catering to all the magic buffing, spell flinging cunts instead.

GG no RE From.

Parrying dagger fgt.

I agree with Sandtrap though, PvP is pretty dull this time around.

PvP in 2 is terrible as hell.
Sure, it's fixed up a little, not as glitchy but fuck me, its bad.

I was invading the other day using red orbs and god damn my black knight greatsword is op as fuck. scored myself like 100k souls. I've ran out of red orbs now tho

hey I need the shield cos my internet sucks
there is no way I can parry in pvp because what I see happening is never what is happening

Soul Memory is an awful mechanic, but by PVPing at level 280, you really are just a part of the problem. I don't have a single build over 130-150. Where's the fun in not limiting yourself?

Because I can't co-op with anybody on New Game + because they all went shooting up in levels like a bunch of big smelly willies. I pvp on the side for the most part.
