Why does Miyazaki hate fist weapons?

Why does Miyazaki hate fist weapons?

He hates having working covenants too.

He hates poise as well

And sorcerers

And miracles

>80 hours in
>Never once summoned as a blueberry
Either way of blue or sunlight warrior most of the time now.

Just need to bitch again and you gave me the opportunity

>Let's add two covenants that are EXACTLY the same outside of one minor, irrelevant detail
>AND let's make them totally dependent on a third covenant with no rewards that almost no one will use
>AND LET'S MAKE NONE OF THEM EVEN WORK

BRAVO FROM 10/10

>Have way of blue equipped for the past hour
>Nothing
>Equip Blue sentinel
>Immediately invaded

I dunno. I really liked dark souls 2 for the fact that caestus was completely viable. Was it optimal? No but you could at least be competent and do decent damage. I really like pvping as a caestus user. Heres hoping they buff it.

I suggest making caestus A scale for both dex and strength. Would make if worthwhile for a quality build.

Why didn't they make interesting covenants instead of putting two blue sentinel and two forest hunter covenants?
They could have made a band of clerics that hunt hollows

What?
Miracles are great. It's totally reasonable in a game with some of your fastest/most aggressive enemies to require the player to spend 3 seconds casting a spell at point blank range in order to do the damage of swinging their sword once.

>I'm gonna take these guys wielding 10 ft swords with my fists! :D

lmao go fuck yourself

>b-b-b spells can one shot if you have 99 int and they stand there and wait for 5 minutes during the cast time and still don't roll
I don't know what they were thinking, The humanity tracking spell in 1's dlc was the ONLY spell I didn't like and that was because it did a billion damage and tracked for 30 seconds. I don't think they have any idea how to make spells fun or interesting and honestly they function basically the same since DeS.

>I can totally swing a 50 pound slab of steel irl
Mommy said to take out the trash Will. Get out of the basement and go do it!

I dont understand why you are so faggy. Im 40 hours in, 20 of those in blue sentinels and i got summoned around 100 times. Maybe you are overleveled? Maybe the servers know you are fags and dont want you to help others?

What is refined gem?

>implying steel is stronger than flesh

That might be true but I am pretty confident that Dark Souls is a franchise for fags so I should get summoned more not less

hours in
>>Never once summoned as a blueberry
Same story except 270 hours. This is across several characters in various level-ranges, and in both sentinels and darkmoon.
Useless covenants.

Like B/C scaling for a weapon that doesn't have very much base damage and for some reason is far, far slower than it was in the last game.

>He hates poise as well

this is actually a good thing though

Only when they make it possible to flip roll havels which was their fault in the first place too

Refined gem doesnt give a scaling for caestus.

HMMMM LET ME JUST UHHHH SWING MY 1TON SLAB OF ROCK REALLY REALISTIC, REALLY

>And miracles

fuck miracles are ass in general, shit got nerfed hard ever since DaS2. But I have to say getting the sunlight spear and then wrecking the Storm Drake fucking face while it's diving towards you is kind of worth it.

>40 faith
>finally reach sunlight altar
>get my great lightning spear after hours of trying to help shitters through bosses
>try it out on a lothric knight in metal armour
>120 dmg
> all that time invested to get a spell that literally does 1/4 the damage of my weapon, takes forever to throw, doesn't track, and leaves you a sitting duck

DS2 utterly ruined miracles, and it's all thanks to the fucking PVP whiners who couldn't learn how to roll through a projectile

Can we all agree DaS2 is actually the best game in the series?

worst graphics
worst lore
worst retcons
worst bosses

let me guess: you're a PVP faggot?

>worst lore
>worst retcons

But that would be DaS3.
Aldritch pretty much make whatever you do in DaS irrelevant.

best post

He hates Whips, Reapers and Twinblades even more apparently. Couldn't even be bothered to animate a unique riposte animation for the first two

Faith soft cap for spells is 60 though. 40 is for weapons. You could still do more damage.
Also get Yorshka's Chime, as it has the highest spell buff after 49 faith.

>worst graphics.

Nigga, do you even demons souls?

You gay.

Oh yeah twinblades...kinda miss those.

The whips aren't too bad, they get a mild boost from that fact there's no poise, so they aren't completely fucked over even if they land a hit. Doesn't help their terrible AR or shitty status building, though. I mean, poison is useless on anything, but even the Notched Whip is outclasses by, like, every other fucking weapon with Rouge powder. I'd like to try the Witch's Lock, to see if that's actually decent, but have no interest in making a INT/magic build for it.

I dunno what the fuck happened to Reapers. Not like they were ever OP, and it's completely biased to make them the only weapon that does NORMAL damage at a sweet-spot. Not to mention that terrible waste of a WA.

Whips are great for finishing off your opponent, reach is crazy and hitbox becomes massive thanks to latency

Yea so is a bow or throwing dagger. That's hardly a use worthy of an entire weapon class

Except those are easily sidestepped, whip isn't

>no bone fist
>no puzzling stone sword
>not even pulling out trick weapons from bloodborne
>only shortbow can do rolling attack, arrows are fucking slow compared to das2/bloodborne and can't hit shit unless the guy standing still
>no fun weapons that are also viable (like the majestic greatsword in 2 or bone fist)
>no power stance
>no working left handed weapon
>fist weapons are shit
>scythes are shit even when they did them good in bloodborne
>whips are useless beside their weapon arts
>all spells beside pyro are shit
>not using the poise system of patched DaS2 (allow you to tank one/two hits, gives hyper armor for big weapons)

DaS2 had problems, but it's PVP and DLC were god tier.

>only shortbow can do rolling attack
Composite bow can do it too.

>bows have a rolling attack
What?

The fact that they can't even properly balance at least ONE weapon from each class is worrying to me. Then there's entire systems that clearly are not supported, like poison which is useless in both PvE and PvP. Or the bleed infusion, which prevents buffing weapons with the bleed buff, making them completely and utterly useless.

If it was just one weapon class or something I wouldn't really care. But reapers, fists, whips, and daggers are all complete garbage. Daggers are so fucking bad it's almost unbelievable that they made it into the game in the current state. Even among the more fortunate weapon classes you have hammers, great hammers, and axes which are all mostly crap or outclassed

Yeah, and it also works as a running attack and a back step attack. Pretty good in PvP or against fast opponents in PvE.
