So, background story: I made a new SL 70 +8 build, so I can invade in places other than the second dlc. Thought I'd make a nice little noob cosplay to start things off. It was atrocious. Lag, disconnects, no matches at all at times, and everyone I encountered was either a total noob or it was a total noob with three pw-summoned SL 500 friends. I think I will go back to SL 120 invasions for the purpose of video-making tbh.
That makes literally no difference. Also, I already have SL 120 and 140 chars, with which I did the episodes so far. I was talking about not getting (interesting) matches at SL 70.
I literally laughed out loud at "Gravity and Three Idiots" good stuff, man. Oddly enough, one of the people in my stream yesterday got a discussion going on after you apparently wrecked them with a Hollowslayer and everyone was wondering why you hadn't gone down to lower soul levels. Now we have our answer.
Yep, SL 70 +8 is fresh out of the oven as it were. It might be the dwindling population on PC or something, but I'm actually quite dissapointed. Quite long waiting times, and whoever I meet apparently just found out what the R1 button as well as alt-f4 does, but not much more. I found myself missing SL 120 invasions very quickly... :(
Also, I saw you were streaming yesterday, but it was about 1:30 am for me and I needed to go to bed. Y u do dis to me, Saint? Hope I can catch one of your next ones.
@5:40, I think what is happening is that sometimes in the host's world, they've destroyed breakable items like chairs and tables, but when you spawn into their world, your version of the world is unaware, so the tables/chairs haven't been destroyed. So, when the host moves where the tables/chairs previously existed, your engine tries to make sense of this fact by having the host run over the top of the chairs and tables.
Ha, I happened to watch this video again and I'd forgotten that this was the genesis of the setup parry in my game. Hard to believe I played for a year without using those.
I'm not sure if you were trying to make a Schwa Akari reference at the end, but those titles for each invasion really reminded me of Akari's chronicles.
Sad you got so much disconnects. Respect for wanting the full meta package. Professional gank squads with casters are the worst for me. :D So im totally excited for your next episode. :)
I honestly enjoy meta SL invasions much more than the low-level stuff. But yeah, gank squads with casters are a serious issue. I think no one really has a good answer for that, other than trying to divide and conquer or get a lucky parry/backstab on the host. If only this game had friendly fire between all allies, suddenly casters would have to do more than just stand back and fire their nuke spells into the carnage. Sigh, a man can dream...
Hahaha the idea with friendly fire is awesome, imagine you could win without using any weapon, only by outplaying your enemys :D Unfortunately we never will see this in fact Fromsoft wont punish noobs for buying the game. I will watch your next episodes, and maybe come back to meta, your dark\fire build is impressive indeed.
So what is the weapon called in the equipment menu? Dark Dark Sword? Very Dark Sword? Also, Nyff, what are your thoughts on the latest patch? Do you think it's worth making a SL351 character just for shits and giggles?
Disappointingly, a dark infused Dark Sword is called a "Reinforced Dark Sword" by the game... :( And I think the latest patch was mostly irrelevant. That also goes for this high SL bracket. Maybe I will make a video about playing there, but I don't think going to that high of a level is worth it at all. And if you do, there's no reason not to go full SL 802.
Just so you know, the straight sword third strike parry doesn't really work with a normal small shield. Unless you have a parry shield or a caestus, the startup frames are too slow to get the parry off on a normal (shitty Peer2Peer) connection.
That is completely false. The recovery parry works with anything from caestus up to mediium shield if the connection allows it. And if the connection is shoddy enough to make it impossible, not even a caestus or parrying shield does the job.
If the guy delays the third strike, sure you might land the parry with something like a Iron Round Shield, but not if he's just jamming R1 into the input buffer. All I'm saying is that small parry shields (as in buckler, small leather, and target) and the caestus all have faster start up frames, so the chance of it pulling off a parry on a normal connection is much greater and actually reliable. i.imgur.com/42TLqRi.png Maybe it's just observation bias on my part. Only once in a blue moon do I ever land that third strike parry with a normal small shield, but it happens quite often with a caestus/small parry shield. But I really don't believe that the start up frames on the normal parry shields are even fast enough to pull it off in the first place, unless the attacker delayed their attack slightly.
Ye, I know. Grass Crest Shield would also have worked. Both shields suck ass unfortunately, and I need my mlg parries. Plus, at least the Iron Round Shield fits the colour scheme of my beautiful fashion, so you gotta give me credit for that.
I give you no credit, you're the worst...and I definitely don't wish I can parry like you. Edit: Also out of interest, why is a fire dagger better than a dark dagger?
At the moment, there is a bug with the dmg calculation on critical attacks with dark dmg type weapons. It's much lower than it's supposed to be. Chaos is not affected by that bug, so you get the full (completely bonkers) amount of dmg. Which makes me very, very happy.
I already understood by the steam's comments section, that you use dark sword, someone was salty a bit) I did exact the same thing month ago, damage is crap tho.
Yep, people sure loved my noob cosplay. :) Dmg is actually quite decent if you dark infuse it, but the R2 sucks and I think the swing speed might be a little lower than on other straightswords. Not the best weapon for sure...
Nyff Yeah, the speed was slightly nerfed a while ago along side the carthus, follower Sabre, gargoyle flame spear and dragon slayer spear. Not all the weapons got nerfed in speed, but I forgotten which weren't.
Nyff Having no life helps. Also I was wondering if you could check out my post in DS3 subreddit. I made one about SS being the best weapon class. oh and you sound high while commentating which makes ot even better lol

Maybe you might try 10 SL more. SL 130 seems quite a bit more active to me than 120 was.
That makes literally no difference. Also, I already have SL 120 and 140 chars, with which I did the episodes so far. I was talking about not getting (interesting) matches at SL 70.
Ok dude. Maybe it was just my subjective feeling when comparing it.

When I start making that Oroboro stream money and can quit my job I'll stream in the morning for European audiences, if it will please senpai.
Damn right you should! Hard for me to watch your stream here in europe...

You're right, that's probably what happened there.
lol, that disconnect was so great. I really like your commentary, and the way you play. Thanks for this man
No shield of want/10
Muh uninterrupted co-op
I've never seen anyone with such mastery of the setup parry. I never use those, and really should work those into my game. These videos are clinics.
Ha, I happened to watch this video again and I'd forgotten that this was the genesis of the setup parry in my game. Hard to believe I played for a year without using those.
I'm not sure if you were trying to make a Schwa Akari reference at the end, but those titles for each invasion really reminded me of Akari's chronicles.
that last one was so fucking funny
Sad you got so much disconnects.

There should be an inverted seed of giants for invaders, allowing friendly fire between hosts and phantoms for a short period of time.

is the iron round shield the new parrying item that everyone uses now?

Those parries are why I zwei
That ending lol
the last one XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
No Shield of Want....disappointing.

thest1ckyband1t chaos dagger is better not fire

Oh, is that chaos? Okay but that's still fire damage right? Would dark not be better?
Is that a dagger +10 with fire infusion ?
It is chaos infused.
I already understood by the steam's comments section, that you use dark sword, someone was salty a bit) I did exact the same thing month ago, damage is crap tho.
Yep, people sure loved my noob cosplay. :) Dmg is actually quite decent if you dark infuse it, but the R2 sucks and I think the swing speed might be a little lower than on other straightswords. Not the best weapon for sure...
