Are you fucking kidding me!??? They patched dead angles.

I’m legitimately triggered right now.

As far as network test is concerned though, black knight sword is OP. Can't even have fun as an invader based on how strong this weapon is, killing people in 2 hits. Just make the network test balanced fromsoft, no need to pander. Invaders should have to work harder, no need to make it s easy.

It’s only OP vs bad players. It’s way too slow against good players.

I’m literally destroying everyone. You can get the FAP ring and then farm the hollows for some better gear.

Also, if you want to invade, choose the black knight. From what I heard, it’s the only class with the red eye orb.
 
Yeah I played it. Whoever put out the times had to be super high.

Anyway, so far I actually hate it. Like besides the PvP, the game feels super clunky for some reason. Not really sure what they did, but the game just doesn’t feel as responsive as the original. I also don’t really like how it looks. It reminds me of how Fortnite mobile looks compared to console. It’s kinda hard to explain. But the main issue is the apparent clunkyness. Also, was the medium roll ever a thing in the OG Dark souls? I only remember there being the quick roll and the heavy roll, but maybe I’m confusing it with another game.

Not very good first impressions so far, but we will see if my opinion changes. Literally only ran into only one person so far.
I agree with your sentiments, I believe the game is too bright. For some odd reasons I felt the clunky movement as well and it didn't feel as responsive as I thought the game should feel. I honestly don't even remember the mid roll, but I'm certain it was in the game probably the least common one out of the three. How did you like those dedicated servers?

The connections feel WAY better than the original DS1. Only have had a couple laggy invasions.

After I got used to it, it’s not as bad as my first impressions. I’m definitely going to buy this just so I can use MY own build(s).

Searching for an alt.
I have only ever played Bloodborne, and I was gonna grab this DS1 remake next, but after playing the test the game feels like a bit too much of a step backwards and I'm just gonna get DS3. Not in it much for the pvp, but the stuff I played in the online test felt great. Only 1 laggy invader out of about thirty. I had good network experiences as an invader as well. Happy hunting folks.

Mid roll was definitely in DS1. Just to clarify.
I played a shit ton of DS1. But I’ve also played a shit ton of DS2, DS3 and BB. So I guess I just forgot some basic stuff like that. lmao

Would anyone with DS on steam like to try and set up a fight club? I wanna get some PvP practice with my build before the new one drops.

Fought my first 4 man gank today. 3 were shooting magic while 1 would come close for melee. After a bit, I killed 1 phantom, then luckily was able to backstab the host and kill him.

4 man gank squads are gonna be super dirty in this game. Especially in the full game.

I can already see the 4 man Giant Dads. God help us.

No, they are definitely patched. If you think they work, record it and upload it.
I've heard the same thing from a few people that deadangles have been patched. Maybe they just put down their shield for a split second or something then. Not sure why fromsoft felt this was something that needed to be patched, it's just gonna make turtle play styles even more powerful than they already were.

I assume this will apply to Wrath of the gods dead angle too, man that sucks....

It 100% did NOT need to be patched. Turtling is already strong even with dead angles, now it will be a nightmare especially vs gankers. Smh

What system will y’all be playing on? I assume most will be PS4, but I’m probably gonna rock it on XB1 since that’s what some of my buds are getting it on.

Also, what will be y’all first builds? For me:

1. MLGS/Claymore hybrid build
2. Pure quality build
3. Katana build

How? I thought you could only have 4 players in a world at once, 1 human and 3 phantoms.

I will be getting it on Steam and PS4. Might play on PS4 more since I have a more friends there. For me it will be

1. Sorcerer build - MLGS/Moon Butterfly Horn as primary weapons. Logan's Staff with CSS, CSM, Pursuers and Dark Bead.

2. Quality Build - Qualaag's Fury sword/Katana

How? I thought you could only have 4 players in a world at once, 1 human and 3 phantoms.
Its up 6 at a time in a world I believe. The host with up to 3 phantom's helping and up to 2 invaders.

I cannot wait to use the DS1 MLGS again. It’s so damn good, and my build with it is super edgy.

Been watching a lot of old school DS1 PvP videos. One of the first guys I ever watched, was this dude on YouTube named “jblackmel”. His commentary was okay, but he was always a bit condescending and sorta negative. But his gameplay was great. Idk who the best DS1 PvP’ers were, but he had to be what we consider a “top player”. Wonder if he will come back for the remaster.

Since chain back stabs stayed in the game (for whatever dumb reason) here is a really helpful video showing how to do them and how to counter them.

BS chain meta is fun. The defender has way more options than the attacker. it's high risk high reward
