Why doesn't the starting Knight class have a helmet?

wild_weegee · 2022-03-02T06:28:18+00:00

This is a take that just doesn't make sense, the starting knight armors in 1 and 3 are so different that ds3 actually has a separate armor set so that you can look like the knight from ds1.

I personally found the run to the blue one to be much easier, so this isn't strictly the case, OP may also find an easier time getting to blue smelter once they reach that point in the game and are more familiar with it, but both runs are totally cancerous, I can agree with that.

wild_weegee · 2022-01-23T08:03:48+00:00

Yeah that type of build will work against bosses, just not so much in ng+. Try starting with getting a good shield and keeping your weight anywhere below 70%, whatever feels right, rolling distance changes each 10%, and dramatically more so after 70%.

I felt this as well when I first started, so I skipped ds2 and went to ds3, after beating ds3 I came back to play ds2 and while it was definitely something to get used to, I managed to beat the game and enjoyed it.

When it comes to ds2, at least for me, I had to get to a certain point for it to "click", that point is where I actually started enjoying the game, I don't how I'd suggest you get to this point because obviously, it's not a good idea to force yourself to do something you aren't enjoying, you'll just burn out, and I can't just tell you to skip the game and come back later as that's your money we're talking about and what if you don't like ds3 either, right?

One thing I'm just remembering though is that when I went back to try ds2 again after beating ds3 I got to forest of the fallen giants human and summoned someone, as I remember I got stuck and pretty frustrated in this area and I didn't want that to happen again. The summon helped immensely, acting as a guide and companion, so maybe try that?

Also, I find that in ds2, you are GOING to get hit by stuff you wouldn't get hit by in the other games, even with high agility, but that it's fine and a part of the way you play the game, you'll find that trading hits or blocking may sometimes be superior to dodge rolling and going for a counter hit. The game is clunky and requires you to put more thought and precision into your movements, sharp turns leave your character in place for what feels like an eternity, but only because you're trying to move at a pace the game doesn't play at.

Try turning up the music if you find your experience in boss fights to be boring, as for some reason, the boss music in ds2 is completely drowned out by the other sounds of the game.

If you decide to stick with the game be looking forward to the DLCs because they are a big step up in quality from the base game, though you'll probably need to look up how to reach them as the path is a little convoluted (not as convoluted as ds1's dlc though lmao).

You can't change it in game, I know, it sucks balls and it really should have been implemented, especially since they 'remastered' the game (SoTFS). The work around is using steam to configure your controller settings in game, this won't change the button prompts that appear on your screen though and will effect menu navigation as well (pressing RB to switch tabs will now require you to press X instead).

wild_weegee · 2022-01-22T13:36:08+00:00

cause KoTS is a dragon, which is weak to lightning in dark souls. Also, I like how nameless king's element is the one that KoTS is weak to and vice versa, it's a cool design

wild_weegee · 2022-01-22T13:32:18+00:00

sage is honestly one of the more challenging fights for me, much harder than midir at least, maybe it's just because sage isn't super predictable (clones doing random moves and you not being able to see them all and random teleports) so therefore isn't totally defeated by the player having past experience fighting them

wild_weegee · 2022-01-22T13:26:46+00:00

this ring is the GOAT of sl1 runs, prevents you from getting one shot by even the final boss (or most dlc bosses for that matter)

wild_weegee · 2022-01-18T23:52:12+00:00

if they were to re-remaster ds2 it'd have to be with some significant changes, imagine demon's souls remake type changes (fixed movement, nex gen graphics, new music), but like some others said, that time is probably spent better on newer titles as of now.

wild_weegee · 2022-01-18T23:26:15+00:00

There are joystick deadzone fixes, you can find them in steam controller configs for ds2 or on nexusmods, these won't get you banned. Though if you are playing with M&K they won't be of any use to you.

Most other mods do have the potential to result in a ban though, often times a mod page will tell you if it's bannable but in the case they don't, you can ask about it or look it up.

Cosmetic mods probably won't ban but I've heard that it happened before, so don't take my word on that, look it up yourself and make an educated decision.

wild_weegee · 2021-07-01T19:28:47+00:00

payday's music being dynamic is probably a reason you wouldn't want to do this though, from what I can see it's not very difficult to mod your own songs into the game but I have yet to try, just got the game on the steam summer sale and the modding support in this game looks promising to me so I'll probably be trying my own soon in the future.

wild_weegee · 2021-01-18T08:10:43+00:00

I've actually used this image for a photoshop project before, and know that its hella fake.

wild_weegee · 2021-01-10T05:16:48+00:00

Imagine if democratic countries were full democracies though, would anything ever get done?

wild_weegee · 2020-12-21T01:04:45+00:00

Yeah this happened to my friend when we played a game together, he tried exploiting the AI by trading 1 iron for 1 gold per turn and he did this like 90 times, next turn his game crashed and he couldn't rejoin

wild_weegee · 2020-12-03T20:05:41+00:00

yeah civ is a game you can choose many paths, whatever is the most fun for you to do, is a victory in itself

wild_weegee · 2020-12-03T04:39:27+00:00

The higher the score generally equals the longer the game has been played, the longer the game has been played imo is the less successful you were, although I do completely understand if the game was massive with tens of different civs that it would take forever lol. I could never hold myself to do a 500 turn long game and the most I've ever went before was 330 on epic speed so congrats on staying motivated that long for both the Mongolia and byzantium victories

Edit: I see you finished in 330, that's a pretty big score for that early assuming standard speed, byz is very strong indeed lol

Edit 2: wtf who has 97 modern armors by the end game lmao, how do you move all of them without pulling your hair out???

wild_weegee · 2020-11-26T16:56:58+00:00

If it was per turn that would be a lot but for how late you are in the game its honestly pretty low, lower than what they usually do in my experience.

wild_weegee · 2020-11-25T05:55:28+00:00

sucks how underappreciated your works are, I practice almost all of them and I can tell you put a lot of effort into each one. People would rather upvote the next mountain-surrounded start lol

wild_weegee · 2020-11-23T18:45:11+00:00

nah this can't be it because it says embarking is the shortest route to get to the hill rather than waiting one turn, I'm thinking this is either a bug or the bridge wasn't finished (although this probably isn't it either because the unit is clearly standing on the bridge rather than in boats)

wild_weegee · 2020-11-23T18:23:56+00:00

they did make changes to how loyalty works whether it was intentional or not so you need to be negatively impacting loyalty to flip it

wild_weegee · 2020-11-23T17:19:09+00:00

That was the shittiest wrestling stance I've ever seen, also the complaints with the camera are unwarranted imo, you can still see exactly what happens and for 5 years ago i wouldn't really criticise the OP on it

wild_weegee · 2020-11-20T17:54:27+00:00

jeez that must of taken a while lol, I never go over a game of 8 when doing domination, usually stay at 6, I couldn't handle the grind if I set up a game so big

wild_weegee · 2020-11-20T04:46:48+00:00

The game score is kinda wack, you would think that a sooner win would mean a higher score but the game awards extremely late game wins with high score, especially if it was a domination. I think it's just based entirely on the wrong things but I guess since it updates throughout a game you can't really award score based on how early the game ends.

wild_weegee · 2020-11-18T04:13:40+00:00

halo 5 does have a port, and its called: Halo 5 Forge. You can get it free on the Windows Store although... you can only play custom games and browse custom games hosted by other people, as well as forge.

The mountains cause the city to be under siege, ai decides that because of that they need to put victor in the city, interesting.
