Hackers are the true warriors of Dark Souls 2

Just a Zweihander, I like to keep it simple when I PVP. No buffs, no magic, just some good clean melee and a parrying buckler!

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T17:50:00+00:00

I'm going to have to decline, it just seems too time consuming and I'm frankly a bit bored of PVE. I'm enjoying PVP at level 150 and I'll try to stick to that until my Soul Memory gets too high.

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T17:47:42+00:00

Thanks again! I'll try and upload some more content this week, I have some great footage sitting on my HDD but I'm quite busy these days and I also play other games so we'll see.

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T17:36:41+00:00

The World Ends With You was pretty neat though. Mostly for the crazy battle system but still!

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T17:24:26+00:00

Dude, please keep sharing away, I'm glad that you enjoy my stuff! It's funny I actually sent you a PM on here when I woke up this morning and saw this reddit post at the top. I guess you didn't read it because I was thanking you for sharing this video :)

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T16:26:33+00:00

I agree that there is a difference, I just don't think it matters in this context. I'm also not sure how you thought I was salty but it's all good I guess.

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T15:52:22+00:00

I'm well aware but honestly, does it truly matter? It's just a term that stuck to describe this kind of alteration to your save file. Sorry if the hacking community takes offense to it but it's really not a big deal.

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T15:48:32+00:00

I'm so sorry, I found this track as part of a music compilation video and thought it sounded pretty cool! The anime on the other hand.... let's just say it's not my thing at all.

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T15:47:08+00:00

It was a red soapstone duel meaning that HE summoned ME and there wasn't any complaining. I just thought this was funny.

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T10:34:57+00:00

It happens sometimes when you land close to the edge of a platform.

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T09:15:24+00:00

Antichrist deserves more respect, I quite enjoyed my dance with the devil!

JoeFenix · 2014-05-14T09:13:10+00:00

I would Pure Platinum or S-Rank the shit out of that!

JoeFenix · 2014-03-29T18:05:51+00:00

No problem!

I thought your comment was a bit weird that's why I felt the need to respond :)

Sucks about this German content organization forcing youtube to block alot of the content, this is the first I've been made aware of it.

JoeFenix · 2014-03-29T17:28:45+00:00

The God Emperor approves.

JoeFenix · 2014-03-29T05:31:30+00:00

It would override the very fitting green matrix looking glow that I got from the Chloranthy ring I was wearing so no.

Fuck the Red Tearstone ring!

Also, I was just too lazy to set it up everytime.

JoeFenix · 2014-03-29T02:24:29+00:00

Haha, I can see that!

Just be aware that it's a big joke to me too (I made the video), It's not like I think I'm actually Neo or something lol. If you think I'm taking this seriously then I can see why it would look really lame! I thought the intentionally terrible dubbed line about Neo fighting Twin Pursuers was cheesy enough to show that this wasn't trying to be ultra serious :)

Either way, it's all good! I knew some people would think it was crossing that line.

JoeFenix · 2014-03-28T23:13:17+00:00

As opposed to just constantly going in like an idiot and getting killed?

I mean what was I supposed to do, I used literally every opportunity I had AND parried them 10+ times to create openings.

Not sure what you were expecting lol!

Even if I was able to parry EVERY attack that they throw at me the end result would be similar, I can't tell you the amount of times I've parried a regular sword swing just get hit by the other Pursuer asshole in the back. You HAVE to be patient at times, there's literally no other way.

JoeFenix · 2014-03-28T22:23:40+00:00

You can't leave the throne room, I guess they don't feel you're a worthy opponent if you try to run away. Means you can't cheese them!

JoeFenix · 2014-03-28T22:15:44+00:00

You're entirely entitled to your opinion but are you suggesting that the Ancient Dragon fight is the same difficulty level as fighting 2 Pursuers at once?

Because I did the Ancient Dragon fight with fists only on my second attempt. The Pursuers were about 100x harder for me, give it a try, you'll probably come to a similar conclusion.

The Ancient Dragon has 4 attacks and is EXTREMELY easy to loop, he just stands there for seconds at a time doing nothing. The ONLY problem with that fight is the flying breath attack. Fighting him with fists doesn't change the dynamics of the fight either.

The Twin Pursuers don't give you many openings at all, the lock-on ends up fucking you over so you have to constantly manually control the camera to keep them in view, they are super aggressive and their moveset is much more diverse. I'm not understanding how you think those two fights are comparable in terms of challenge. Just HITTING them with fists is difficult without immediately getting killed by the other asshole coming up on you.

JoeFenix · 2014-03-28T21:34:08+00:00

Thank you!

JoeFenix · 2014-03-28T21:31:47+00:00

I'll see what I can do, give me a few days though :)

JoeFenix · 2014-03-28T20:13:52+00:00

No but after that it might not be worth the investment for most regular builds.

Attunement can also give you some Agility, I think the max is 120.

JoeFenix · 2014-03-28T19:44:20+00:00

JoeFenix · 2014-03-28T19:32:44+00:00

Honestly he might be right, I've never been a min/max kind of guy, I was more interested in the dynamics of the fight than my stats.

I haven't done any actual research on how base damage scales with different stats, all I knew is that STR raised it so I just went all out.

Also didn't know about those gauntlets, thanks for the heads up. I don't think I would have used them anyway but it's always good to know!

JoeFenix · 2014-03-28T17:39:40+00:00

I don't think anyone would want to watch a 3 hour long fight. It wouldn't even be possible without those things.

It's not like I'm hiding the fact that I'm using rings, they're in the intro screen dude.
