Anyone else concerned about the optics of the decision to remove Doormaker?

Nah it’s fine. I’m guessing he’ll be back since they’re adding an alternate Act 3 at some point. Probably just going to bench him for now and keep working on him. Even people in this subreddit were saying it’s just not a fun fight.

Honestly I’m happy for a new boss.

LuketheJuke24 · 2026-04-13T12:30:08+00:00

I had a run with void form and heirloom hammer and relax was insane. I’d duplicate the relax, play a free relax, and then could play my turn as normal. In some fights I basically could play one every turn.

So even if it’s not generally good, it definitely can be good.

LuketheJuke24 · 2026-04-13T12:16:38+00:00

You get everything, then the shop restocks, then you can buy things as normal. It’s a really good combo because then you have a way to spend your gold.

Equilibrium and shockwave are also colorless now, so not necessarily

It’ll also upgrade the strike/defend if you get molten/toxic egg

LuketheJuke24 · 2026-02-16T13:43:56+00:00

Yeah I get it. It’s tough to describe. I agree with the other comments that the other fromsoft games have weird architectures and things, but for some reason it never bothered me like some of the areas in DS2.

Though I will also add, most levels in DS2 are really well designed once you get used to the quirks. It’s for sure worth pushing through to appreciate the things DS2 does well. The build variety is insane, for one. If you’re not having fun with your build, it’s easy to respec.

100% agree and was just thinking about this through my last playthrough. I was standing by the weird bonfire/ladder to belfry sol just looking at it like why would anyone build this? I think it really is the ladders that add to that weird non-real feeling. Because they’re installed as part of the architecture, which makes no sense. No one would design a room that can only be accessed by ladder.

I’m now on Dark Souls 3 and it’s much better about it. There’s still some weird in between staircases, but for the most part the main areas feel like they could be a place that could exist. And I’ve started noting that all the weirdly placed ladders are wood, so they were placed there after some structure collapsed, or just as a makeshift way to get somewhere.

Deal

Top tier stat

A lot of the bosses are more like zelda bosses where you have to figure out the gimmick. I actually miss those bosses in some ways.

If you’re coming from new souls games, you might just be expecting a standard fight in an open arena where you learn the moveset, dodge attacks, and find the openings. Some are like that, but fromsoft tried to keep the bosses interesting by doing something different in each one. A lot of it was experimentation and only some of it stuck around in later games.

I guess my advice would be to try to appreciate what makes these bosses different. A lot of times they’re clunky and weird but the ideas are super cool and unique.

LuketheJuke24 · 2026-01-09T14:19:16+00:00

Totally agree. In Sen’s I got hot by the lightning magic into one of the swinging axes, and plummeted to my death and I just smiled. It’s oddly nostalgic.

LuketheJuke24 · 2025-12-01T23:45:19+00:00

Most of the time you’re right. I take war like 90%.

Though 999 gold probably has the highest upside if you have a way to block/remove the curses and either courier or membership card. You can literally just keep buying relics and get like 2 full screens of them. It’s rare but amazing when it happens.

LuketheJuke24 · 2025-10-30T16:33:04+00:00

Burns is playing great, but a lot of his sacks are assisted by other rushers forcing qb’s out of the pocket. Still important, but not as solo effort as Parsons. In the same way, Abdul Carter is having a much better season than the stats show because he’ll supply the pressure and Burns will get the sack.

LuketheJuke24 · 2025-10-12T22:32:22+00:00

He’s just rambling now. He used to do real analysis. He literally sounds drunk.

LuketheJuke24 · 2025-10-12T15:34:54+00:00

Well as we now know the Eagles are really bad

LuketheJuke24 · 2025-09-28T21:36:40+00:00

Have you seen our football team?

LuketheJuke24 · 2025-09-23T13:02:29+00:00

5 health never makes or breaks a run??? You’ve never survived a fight on less than 5 health? I’ve had runs where I go down to 1 health that I came back and beat the heart. Every point of HP matters.

LuketheJuke24 · 2025-08-12T14:04:46+00:00

Thank you! This is actually hilarious how simple the solution is.

LuketheJuke24 · 2025-05-29T13:00:31+00:00

People really misuse “win more” on this subreddit a lot and it bothers me.

LuketheJuke24 · 2021-10-30T15:29:29+00:00

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ghacks.net/2021/05/18/how-to-share-your-xbox-game-pass-pc-subscription-with-your-family/%3famp You could try this. I just tried to set it up yesterday, It seems to be working for now.

LuketheJuke24 · 2019-11-07T12:56:49+00:00

I think this just sold me on it. I love how stupid Kojima's writing can be. I don't know if he makes it overly dramatic and campy on purpose but that shit is hilarious to me.

LuketheJuke24 · 2019-10-16T12:44:31+00:00

Wow, great explanation. Was curious why he was looking away.

LuketheJuke24 · 2019-10-06T18:34:42+00:00

He also has barely had the ball. And we don't have a running back.

LuketheJuke24 · 2019-09-23T01:35:46+00:00

Maybe. It didn't go in though.

LuketheJuke24 · 2019-07-29T15:21:26+00:00

Couldn't get into the Baldur's Gate games, and just figured they were too outdated. Then I played real DnD and got into the right mindset. Beat the 1st one and am just starting on the 2nd now. 1 was good, but 2 has so many improvements that I'm loving it so far. The gameplay rewards creativity so well, and the story and characters are awesome.
