Only good ones are point down, decapitate, no way, shrug and applause. Every other gesture is trash.

I got the ultimate rage taunt in DS3
>Spinning point down
*roll*
>Drop stalk dung on them
*roll*
>Spinning clap
*open messenger*
>"REKT"

You can tell they're mad because they projectingly accuse you of being mad.

>You have received a reply
>WOOOOOOW YOU ACTUALLY GOT SO MAD THAT YOU SENT ME HATE MAIL HAHAHA YOU MAD YOU MAD YOU MADDDDD

Patches Squat made people actually try to track me online .

point down everytime

>ds3
>master race
I don't get it

Going to hijack this DS3 thread to ask:

What's the best way to handle levelups? Do you dump one stat until it's good, or do you spread them out and keep everything you want generally even?

>fucking edgelord invades me in 2
>does decapitation gesture
>wipe the floor with his ass
>shrug
>fanmail get

Tune it for a weapon or equipment you want by the end of the game
If by the end you want to be able to hold an axe bigger than the boss you're fighting then pump strength
Don't pump everything though, that's cancer

>What's the best way to handle levelups?
Until you get to Lothric Castle, you're perfectly fine just using raw weapons or infusing with fire / deep.

Only pump enough stats into the weapon you want so you can hold it. Put the rest into Vig, End, and Vit

Where does HEY rank?

It's my favorite for every occasion.

...

I feel like legion etiquette should be in fucking triggered tier because I've never gotten as much hatemail as I have when I use that after killing someone

>Where does HEY rank?
>It's my favorite for every occasion.

Shit tier
It's that "call over" gesture

My go to is either squat or curl up, and then proceed to drop stalk dung pies.
I only did it to parry fishers and extremely passive reactive cunts.

>Trident isn't in ds3
I just chug my estus and do the empty pour animation
Or block with a torch as fast as I can

>curl up, and then proceed to drop stalk dung pies.

holy shit

I'm still angry shrug isn't in ds3

>No mention of kicking their dissipating corpse multiple times after you kill them.
Its like you guys dont even try for bm

>tfw swapping rings in-between parries

>tfw you'll never hear the *plopp* sound and get a angry message from someone via xbox/gfwl

I miss angry plebs writing hatemail.

Regular bow is the best gesture in Dark Souls 1 as it can be used universally in any situation.

It doesn't matter if you do Decapitation "ironically", no matter who you are or when you do it, I will always imagine you as an edgy eight-grader. No exceptions.

>extremely passive reactive cunts
You say this like it's a bad thing.

Dark souls 3 PVP is literally "whiff punishing: the game"

And it has to be that way, because fromsoft decided it was a good idea to make it so you can roll 12 times in a row, so any other playstyle is met with rollspam

>Kill someone as fair and square as possible
>Get message
>"..."
WHAT DO YOU EVEN FUCKING WANT

I miss playing Dark Souls I on GFWL.
Seeing that message notification pop up on top of your screen was some of the most fun I had triggering forestfags in Darkroot.

On topic, if I had to mention some gestures that triggered the fuck out of me:
>DaS
proper bow(i swear to god, it was always some cunt caster wearing dusk crown), look skywards, point down
>DaS II
this one's on me(bonus points for jester hat)
>DaS III
legion etiquette, applause

Which one had the hulk hogan taunt? I'd love to use that.

DS2

>not spamming parry after they die since they spammed parry hoping for it to land

HA! I used to do that all the time in DaS

It's not quite the same but i just got a friend request on steam just a couple of minutes ago for "spamming" l1 on the dlc twin GS weapon.

>Duel
Legion etiquette at the start, bow at the end
>Summon
HEY

>not getting invaded

what am I doing wrong bros? I'm all embered up. What's the SL people use in DS3 these days

my favorite was always point up

Clapping emote after destroying the host and his phantom gank squad master-race here.

pop a dried finger, pussy.

why dont I get hatemail anymore guys?

HEY

What's the havelmom of DS3?

SSS-tier
>the instant you're summoned or they're done summoning make a sprinting b-line toward them and do a running attack
>when you win continue fervently attacking their corpse

Only fun part about Dark Souls 3 was griefing tryhards in the arena

>shrug
I miss the hell out of this gesture. It was so good for any weird or funny shit that happened, like an invader accidentally rolling off the level while you're co oping with someone.

There are no real meme-builds in 3 because fastroll under 50%, and small as fuck variety.

same, no matter what I do I don't get any anymore.

Shithead tier
>run off a ledge immediately after killing somebody

I hope it made a couple people laugh, way too many people take these games pop seriously

>player beats you in arena
>turns around and runs directly away from you into the wall

what do they mean by this?

Don't think anyone cares since literally everyone on ironkeep bridge did this.

>You say this like it's a bad thing.
It's a terrible thing. And when I say extremely passive reactive, I mean extreme.
They will not take one step forward, they spend the entire fight backpedaling and rolling backwards.

Usually they're not good at all and they end up losing the fight, but it's like they went way out of their way to make it as boring and as tedious as possible for both of us. If you play that way and lose, I'm taking a dump on your head for wasting both of our times.
You're not winning anything there are no prizes, it's not a life or death situation, it's just a friendly competitive match, no need to try that hard.

You can whiff punish without being an extremely passive cunt, you can try to bait attacks, you can throw shit at them so they roll towards and you punish, you don't need to spend the entire fight backpedaling.

I tested them several times, if I stop moving forward and give them some space, they will not take one step forward or throw one attack or do anything. If I just stand there and freeze, they'll do the same and just stand there too.
Usually when the fight reaches the 30secs left mark, they start panicking and go all in and lose. One time the guy just let the timer end without making any move.

>you can roll 12 times in a row
Panic rolling is a death sentence. I'm happy when they do that because I can consistently punish them, and it gives the chance to end the fight sooner.
Which is what these extremely passive reactive cunts start doing once they get hit once, they fucking panic.

*PvP

>No way followed by chugging all of your estus after beating a chugging host without healing yourself.

maybe they're trying to say you're flat-chested?

>someone uses estus in the middle of a fight
>kill them without using any
>chug all your estus as they die

The best thing to do in 3 is to chug all of your remaining estus in one go and then mash the button, so you do the "out of estus" animation repeatedly, preferably while spinning in a circle where they died.

It's got so many layer of BM. You show how much healing you had left in a "not even close, kid" way, you get to mock the host for his own estus chugging and lampoon the fact that even though he gets twice as much as you he still died. The empty estus flask being tipped over where they died is an ironic "pour one out for my homies", and the spammy circling combined with the animation loop just looks so stupid as you empty it on top of them.

Bonus points if you're on a twink character and drink the full 7 +10 estus before they even have that many flasks as a host, plainly demonstrating how unfair the fight was

Point down and patches squat will get you plenty of hate mail, but the chug-and-spin is a whole other level of salt.

I still miss "Well, what is it" though

>300 hours
>3 cancer builds
>only 2 fanmails

The one I remember most vividly is the finger wag from Dark Souls 2. It sets me off every time no matter how it's used.

>invade someone in Dark Souls 2
>they try to estus in your face
>wreck their shit
>check their steam profile
>180 hours in DaS3
>20 hours in DaS2
>they don't even own DaS

If HM is hate mail, what is BM?
bad mail?
butthurt mail?

you gotta get better and spam those point downs/ well what is it


got plenty invading anor londo at lvl 40, with +15 zwei and almost best weight-poise ratio

before every fight, after every fight. Its pretty ubiquitous.

"Bad Manners". Stuff like "gg ez" in other games

Wave is the safe choice
>wave before match
>"what a friendly fellow!
>if you die, it was a nice fun match
>if they die, you wave again, and now you're being a cheeky cunt

I really miss spamming the well what is it gesture.
Knowing how popular the Giant Dad meme has become I'm surprised they didn't add anything about it back into Dark Souls 3 and its DLC.

>"Bad Manners"

Oh, it's another holdover term from autistic MOBAs

I miss being able to interrupt a gesture with another gesture in general

I have a good routine with my twink

Spam cannot use item shrug in ds1 before battle, then upon killing blow immediate point down into 2 well what is its

"BM" is older than starcraft you fucking newfag.

People like Idra were notorious for being cunts

I played a shitload of pvp in Ds towards the tail end of its online activity and got so much hatemail. In about 300 hours in Ds3 and lots of pvp i dont think ive gotten any hatemail. Have the ragers grown up?

>pretend to be Quality bitch with RP armor
>start losing
>pull out 6 WotG and dead-angle them
>continue spamming leftover casts after their deat death

i held a few large groups from getting to lothric's boss fight while i prepped for ringed city and that worked wonders, just winged knight surprise them or block the boss door for ez ?v1 victory

"pathetic that you invade here 1v1 me" was my favorite laugh to have

more players invading, summoned at the same time, using character name for online play, you don’t know whom to send hatemail

There's nothing to rage about anymore because there's practically no penalty for death, and if you're a shitter you can summon 3 people to carry you through the game

How does one even send hate mail on steam?

Lol at any honour fags using any version of bow before a fight. Lol at any edgy fags using legion etiquette, decapitate, and the like.

Miss me with that shit you nerds. Shrug, No way and "Well what is it"/Welcome are top tier. As are applause, out of estus, point down, I'm sorry or very good.

>Bow gesture while facing the other way to moon them

Are you 7?

underage as fuck

>Early DS2
>I'm using the Crystal-magic moonlight funsword
>get summoned at a bridge
>dark hexer starts dumping with a forbidden sun red-bro.
>lul I have ADP, shitlord
>Red is too close to the ledge on the bridge
>casually kick him off, and finger wag, letting the host get a shot on me for fun.
>proceed to dodge the host casual and apply crystal magic
>Dump the host into the chumbucket
>finger-wag and pump up

>get a message
>subject line is : YOUUJ FUCKING BITCH

GOD TIER SAYS HELLO

It feels like it, but I also feel like I have matured to.The majority of the mail I get I resolve by putting my sign down and helping them continue, I anti-ganked a guy 3 times in a row before putting my sign down and giving him my sunlight medals, feels nice helping people desu

>Miss me with that shit you nerds.

Why does FROM give NPC enemies infinite FP?

No-one invades anymore cause faggboys always have 3 phantoms plus 2 darkmoons and a seed of giants on their side.

So you can't whiff bait them to death

You're in the forest and this guy slaps you host, what do you do?

Keep in mind, he knows how to play, and focuses on backstab phishing.

I'm trying to fight Shira but she keeps running away and spamming lightning arrow.

I quite like "mock" from DS2 and "well what is it" from DS1. DS3 has nothing good.

Fight her near a doorway

>no 'have mercy' from dark souls 2
Using that when you won was sass eternal.

There's something so funny about well what is it. Not the "u mad XD" use of it, just the pose itself.

Cancelling it into itself is amazing.

Don't mind me, just posting best gesture in the whole series

>>power within in pvp
Dudes gonna kill himself, I ain't gotta do shit

>Hey buddy I think you've got the wrong door. The leather club is two doors over

the new spears of the church covenant 'invasions' scale up your damage absorption and resistances in based on the amount of phantoms present in exchange for no health estus. Should it have been this way from the start?

Hornet ring or wolf ring?

Hornet.

close the distance. she did that to me pretty much forever until i rushed her down.

that's a big health bar

Check his weapon and shield. Definitely hornet, he ain't hitting shit with that piece of shit on a stick unless it's an instant backstab.

Its great because it triggers autistic faggots such as you.

The people who would rage the hardest can now summon 3 phantoms to protect them.

It's hard to preformance art anything when you're in a 3v1 (or worse 4v1) in a seeded world with literally no advantages on the host and all the disadvantages. And it's no danger to the host if he runs back to the bonfire and starts spamming phantom bros. So if you kill the host, he's unlikely to lose anything and all the taunting you'll do just wont match how little he had to put in to fight you. If anything, invasions in 3 are just tests of the invader's skills and nothing else. They are rarely a chance to grief the host or promote real salt.

Now, For Honor on the otherhand, I have gotten some supreme salty comments from wrecked scrubs.
