Am I missing something because I just tried PvP in DSIII for the first time and it’s bullshit because i Frames don’t work, they get me from a mile away, and hit me even though they clearly didn’t wtf
Put up with this shit until the lava place but now I’m done thanks Miyazaki

YouTubeThis is a pretty good video on DS2 and why I prefer it to DS1.

You could make a build with no shield and do great and do just as well with a build running six different shields all with different gimicks.If the game was trying to steer people away from shields there wouldn't be literally dozzns of them in the game in Al shapes and sizes including:-A pair made spesificly to dual wield-A crossbow shield-Two different magic casting shields-Stat boosting shields-One designed spesificly to parry magic"muh 'Shouldnt engerder passivity' quote from a game with entirely different combat principals doe. Dat means Miyazaki agrees with me."Oh please, If you wanted , you could make a build I 2 where you could basically tape down the block button and kill people by just walking up to them. And that's nothing to say about how much stronger greatshields got in 3 at release.Don't even get me started on his dishonesty trying to "counter" Mathewmattosis or the fact that this fucker actually thinks fucking SHRINE OF AMANA is a good level.

Legend has it that some Demons Souls invasions are still ongoing because neither player has ran out of fucking grass yet.

Quote from: Verbatim on February 16, 2020, 10:38:42 PMYou don't like invasions, but what is your opinion on PvP in general? Like duels or the arena?

Like duels or the arena?yeah, i'm fine with the concept, just not the executionas long as i actually agree to have a duel with you, i for one will have a good time no matter whatwhat i don't really care for are the unspoken rules of engagement that the community made up, like not using magic, or the fact that it's considered BM to heal, which is kinda silly, because everybody has access to healing items (so you can't say it's an unfair advantage), and healing yourself is a bit of a process, so it should be extremely easy to punish people for doing it anywayso i don't really understand any of that shiti've also been told that the balance could use work in every iteration, but that goes for any pvp system
I'm pretty sure magic is so shunned because in some instances it's plain broken with no fair counter. At least in the original dark souls, a dark bead sorcery build could oneshot 95% of players in pvp scenarios, and there was little to counter it. Various other wombo combos emerged throughout the games as well, although it seems like magic was tougher to utilize in III.
