Get stabbed in the back while facing your opponent.
Is amour even relevant in this game?
It seems to me that what determines whether or not you win a fight is how well you know how to exploit a game mechanic that completely violates the laws of physics.
So basically, whoever knows how to exploit this game mechanic the best wins, which make armor irrelevant. How is this fun?
It isn't, which is why nobody plays anymore.
>Is amour even relevant in this game?
Armour is not relevant in any souls game. Just to look good, hence the name Fashion Souls when it comes to armor. You can beat the game naked if you want.
>It seems to me that what determines whether or not you win a fight is how well you know how to exploit a game
It's not. Dark souls pvp is laggy bullshit like you describe most of the time.
Git gud
>Git gud
Why even bother? Getting good in this game is literally like studying to become a script kiddie. I don't want to be an expert at cheese.
>playing dark souls for pvp
this is incorrect
>Armour is not relevant in any souls game
>What is poise in DS1
Without any you will easily get stunlocked by anyone who manages to smash r1 repeatedly near you.
Wolf ring should cover any poise need you may have while still looking fabulous.
Also, don't get hit by r1 smashers, just roll.
or tank their hits with giantdad armor and hit them in the head with a zweihander.
>host starts circling for a backstab
>sidestep and backstab him
>he keeps trying to do it
Do these people even think?
THE LEGEND NEVER DIES
I can't find other players in DS3 on PC. Just a week ago I was playing online just fine, invading, getting summoned, being invaded every time I was embered etc. But for a week now I've been unable to play online at all except for this single time two days ago when some guy named Bob invaded me at lothric wall. Have I been banned or something? I already tried resetting my router. I can still see orange soapstone texts left by other players just fine so at least i'm connected online.
>can't strafe without locking on
>can't run backwards while facing your opponent without locking on
>locking on makes you vulnerable to backstab exploit.
Nope. Fuck this game.
The whole series is dead.
Getting good in any game is the same. Dark Souls is not any different. Repetition equals gitting gud.
Armor is kind of relevant, the gold hemmed set has like second best fire resistance and best poison, you'll take more physical but it makes a difference fighting pyromancers and poison cucks, but in the end, being light is better and learn to parry
no, there is getting god at doing something that involves logical laws physics and then there is getting good at something that isn't physically possible and when you do it it literally breaks immersion.
I understand the game has magic and magic isn't really possible, but when a game mechanic is supposed to mimic the laws of physics to execute a physical attack, someone shouldn't be able to make your character do a 180 degree turn in a microsecond when your facing them unless you call it magic and give that ability a skill name.
this
But like I said, i was playing just fine a week ago. Finding multiple other people to coop with and invade. Then all of a sudden the next day i cannot find anyone at all.
>Is amour even relevant in this game?
No, and that's not a bad thing, stop playing WRPGs that overpower you to a ridiculous degree
dark souls overpowers you to a ridiculous degree, though
Grind enough in almost any JRPG and you are godlike.
yep. that's exactly why I quit.
It's why I never bought two or three as well.
>Don't do PVP
Geez, that was a hard solution OP. Taking PvP in any Souls game is a wasted effort and hardly worth it.
