damn, that's what elden ring looks for you?
Is this your first time seeing what game textures look like in the distance or are you actually moronic

i have a fricking 1070 and i have literally never seen anything so shitty in my own playthrough
oh yikes you have a really bad computer

what went wrong? You think they could put some effort into the starting area of the game at least
I didn't know it came out on switch too

try downloading more ram, should fix your issue
>'Greatshield and Thrust weapon in superheavy armor? oh, you're so skilled.'
bleed you out with my buddy, like all the others
Rapiers are actually super fricking broken in Elden Ring, you just gotta know how to build a class around using it. I don't know what kind of homosexual uses heavy armor and a greatshield with a rapier, at least dress the part. You should be wearing light armor and looking more like a fencer or DEX class.
Aesthetics are always better than functionality. If you wanted to be an UNGA homosexual then you should have just equipped a greatsword or hammer and smashed everything.
That's a Heavy thrusting sword. That arctype of fingerprint homosexual will also use spears though.
all thrusting weapons are way too strong right now. These types of players are more likely to be using two nagatanas and bloodhound step.
>all thrusting weapons are way too strong right now
Because for absolutely no reason at all, thrusting weapons deal extra damage and get a talisman to increase that free damage.
Could you imagine if they made it that katanas deal +20% damage and an extra 20% with some random talisman? Thats literally how thrust attacks work in this game.
Extra pierce damage during counter timings has been a thing in Souls 1 and 3. The big difference is that in Souls 1 and 3 thrusting weapons weren't so dominate. With the mechanics of Elden Ring, thrust weapons are super dominant because the range was nerfed on everything else and there's no combo potentials. That is, they just out trade everything because of counter attacks and poise, and they pressure you from safe distances.
From soft should have thought of that before they ditched vit again
Fingerprint shield, heavy armor, and a heavy thrusting sword is one of the best builds in the entire fricking game. That's why they wear it.
I don't want any trouble
540 ladder up and away
no u
probably, haven't played that trash since release
My STR character has all the same gear except I use Ruins Greatsword
>installs co-op mod
I miss when you could just lightning shotel people like this out of the game.
there are so many ways to deal with shield people i was surprised fromsoft even bothered nerfing it.
So what is the actual strongest ER PVP build?
me
who cares, anybody playing pvp in this godforsaken game at 40 FPS deserves a bullet to the head
>at 40 FPS
$150 cards can run this game at a locked 60 and so can consoles. what shit ass PC do you have that cant?
PS5 can't even run the game at 40 fps and it was designed for that shitbox
is this real? runs at 60 fps on series x, though dips into the 50s on occasion.
PS5 on "pretty" mode can barely get above 40 FPS, with frequent dips into 30
On "performance" mode it runs about as good as on PC hitting 45 FPS in places, if you're noticing "dips" on console it's into the low 40's, not 50's
Two nagatana, blood hound step.
Can't be parried, can't be dodged effectively without phantom bleed, you can't be hit.
Probably the most broken something has ever been in a souls game.
You can parry spears dumb frick. And it's not even hard when people spam the exact same l1 move over and over.
Uh you can't parry the crouching attack thats why people keep using it.
Yes you can. It just has a weird timing window, you have to do it early. But again, it's easy because when you see someone with 2 spears you know exactly what they are going to do because they only have 1 move.
i just cast elden stars and then hit them w/ my sword
There's a few. Every build you either want huge poise (83+) or light roll. Also you can have both!
1. Dual spear, either raw damage or cold or bleed.
2. Dual great spear, see above. Also vykes for madness (might be the most OP shit in the game)
3. Halberd + cleanrot rapier offhand. Halberd you want flame strike to stop players from running to your left and avoiding your halberd. Also you want thrusting halberds.
4. Dual Straight sword + massive poise to out DPS everything except dual spears. Works best with st. trina for sleep.
5. If someone has less than 58 poise, then any rapier 2handed will completely shut them down. Pair with bloodhound step to keep up massive pressure. Cleanrot rapier is best. This is why 58 poise is -required- to play PVP unless you are light rolling.
6. Royal knight resolve + Heavy rapier. Basically a better piercing fang/impaling thrust in every way. Keep this on swap to catch runners and light rollers (maybe).
7. Defense stack + poise + fists as of patch 1.08. Very broken and hard to deal with.
I've been PVPing since 1.08 came out and it's a lot better than release, but still busted thanks to poise and a few weapon selections. I don't think the game can be fixed unless they do something really drastic like removing poise and increasing the range of most R1's so they can roll catch. Basically turning it into a worse DS3.
nta but can you elaborate on #7, haven't played since May
You can't trade with fists and outpace their dps. Their only counter is parry.
Sure. It's similar to straight swords but with a much better running attack depending on the fist you use. With the Katar, the running r1 (2handed) is a super fast thrust attack that roll catches easily. With the others (that can have BLEED) the running r2 true combos into the r1 (2handed), which deals massive damage. Also since fists take such low weight, it's really easy to poise stack with them. Lastly they buffed their attack speed, so they can out DPS everything except dual spears in trade wars. They're very good.
Its glintstone pebble (AoW), it got nerfed, but its still the most broken thing in the game for PvP and PvE.
I remember getting invaded by a guy in dragon barrow and getting one shotted by his pebble, I was full health too and had plenty of vigor
Unless you have 60vig and heavy armor, yeah, you will get one shot by pebble. Its stupid.
At the end of the day I guess you cant balance so many options.
The art of war protectionism in this game is insanse. So many spells are ass in comparison. What are they protecting?
they realize if they actually balanced weapon arts nobody would use them, which is why they're broken in the first place
they nerfed flame of the redmanes for a reason
was it?
yes
it used to have a LOT of poise damage
I know but did they nerf it for a reason
I don't think fromsoft has any reason they do anything considering their history of "balance"
yes its strong poise damage was the reason
I doubt it
you are not intelligent
Flame of the redmanes had 40 poise damage, that's less than a straightsword
there's no logical reason to nerf it, fromsoft is just moronic
You didn't play the game
2 hits from it could stun almost any boss
then it's a problem with the spell and not the poise damage, instead of fixing the spell they deleted it from the game
classic fromsoft incompetence
obviously if on the box the spell said it did as much poise damage as a straightsowrd, but somehow did more poise damage than an ultra, the spell was broken
So instead of fixing the spell itself, they lowered the poise damage until it sucked and nobody would use it
anon I think you are insane
It's a really basic concept, nothing justifies a 75% reduction in poise damage below a straightsowrd, that's dagger poise damage or less
they nerfed the spell from 40 to 10 poise damage, somehow at 40 poise damage it was actually doing something like 100, the spell was broken
So by lowering the value to 10 the poise damage was actually brought down to like 20-30 because of the broken spell, which is worse than they ever intended for it to be, practically removing it from the game
I'm sorry you're moronic, maybe you should have been aborted
>man with terminal insanity
I am growing stronger.
It was never intended to be a poise breaker, its a AOE attack and a main weapon buff
Stop being a moron
Now it's use to try and roll catch Bloodhound Step subhumans.
>that's less than a straightsword
No, that's equivalent to a 2-handed hammer charged R2 which is more than a straight sword. And it was much faster, ranged, and spammable.
homie you dumb
you can't balance a single player game and then turn around and make a perfect multiplayer game; that's also never been From's objective. They do the best they can and people cry about it because muh life has no meaning without balance
All people really want is the ability to actually play with what they want without the bar being set so above them by small amount of moronicly broken things.
I dont think they really care that much. Its a Western thing to obsess over balance, not Japanese. Sometimes a little bit of b***hing seeps through the language barrier and they might touch something like RoB or Flames but otherwise they dont care.
yes thats why there were several balance patches after the game released
Revisionist history, there were barely any, it took ages before we saw any substantial changes and even then its not changed that much. You can still cheese the game with RoB, or Str jumping builds, or anything that was OP at launch to now.
Evidently not true as ER has no meta.
>there were barely any
why do you lie
>It's a western thing
Not exactly. It's a western thing to hate meta slavery and criticize a game based on it. In japan they actually get a thrill out of metaslaving, you can see it in their card games. It's a bug person thing, the anger that comes from trying to innovate in an poorly made game does not emerge in the bugman's mind.
Glintstone pebble is now one of the WORST AoWs in the game. The pebble deals just little damage, and without the combo the trust is incredibly hard to hit since it's so telegraphed. The whole thing is so slow you can't even roll catch with it unless the enemy is stupid.
If you want a real AoW to complain about, complain about flame strike, storm stomp, or royal knight resolve.
Yeah no, incorrect, its still 3k damage minimum and the only true combo in the game.
Actually play PvP before you post.
There’s a point where bait becomes too stupid. You went too far.
The fact you don't know how AoW work in ER doesn't change reality. Pebble is still broken.
It never did 3k damage, unless you stacked every single possible buff in the game, most of which are massively nerfed in pvp (rallying standard is 20% damage buff, but 2.5% in pvp).
It is absolutely not a true combo any more. It’s stagger amount (damagelevel) was changed from the lengthy stagger (blood flame talons, charge R2’s etc…) to the minimal stagger animation found when you get hit by a straight sword or something. If you get hit by pebble, you have time to roll before follow up reaches you.
It’s ok as a cheap projectile, although Glintstone Kris is better since it’s projectile can reach 1500+ damage if you charge it, basically becoming Comet spell for 1/4 of fp cost. But it’s not a true combo, or even a pseudo combo. And saying “only true combo in the game” is beyond stupid, because A, it isn’t one, and B, lots of true combos exist, Running R2 > R2 on fists being the most famous right now. Or Scythe charge R2 > Lorreta’s Slash, which is very hard to do, but nearly a garunteed one shot.
Didn't read your arm-chair theory, whatever it says it irrelevant because clearly you don't play the game.
Just did 12 matches only had 1 loss. Pebble is still the most broken AoW in the game.
Have a nice life, get good.
And here's its damage, only from talismans and flask (dont need it, only adds a small damage increase anyway), good luck topping, against players its usually 700 to 1.5k damage.
Also, still a true combo, if you get pebbled you get stabbed unless they are at maximum range.
It does not true combo. Also I can win in the arena by mashing r1 with claws, so this is not a good metric of how viable something is.
>it doesnt do that much damage
>well it does do that much damage
>well it doesnt true combo!
play stupid games, anon...
Remember he said this is the WORST ash of war in the ENTIRE game.
All shitposting aside, I am literally not losing and im going against some absolutely toxic builds here
I don't understand this trolling. It does not true combo. It is extremely telegraphed (both the pebble and the thrust). Also the pebble does not deal much damage to a player unless they are naked.
It used to true combo in versions before version 1.04 I think and I would agree with you that back then it was the best AoW in the game. Right now it is meh in the best case scenario, bad in most cases.
Damn son, so many words.
Still didn't read lol.
>I don't understand this trolling.
Because like a troony thinking they're a women but getting upset when someone says biological female you cant accept the fact that you're wrong.
Didn't read lol
>Difference between youtuber kids and actual chad players

>My experience as a mage
Holy frick were spells always this easy to dodge in souls games? I remember mages in DaS being a pain to fight. But playing as one this is pathetic.
Magic is arguably the best it's ever been unless you count Dark Bead spam in DS1. But you'll never hit anyone with magic missile in a duel where you're both paying attention to nothing other than the other person, at that point your options are the sword sorceries and the primevil stars or whatever that are impossible to fully dodge
'kay
Your pc sucks too much to render at that depth.
Nice comp config
all it is is the clouds turned off so you can actually see distant terrain, normally you can't see anything, probably because it looks like horse shit
Oh wow, something that is intentionally hidden looks bad once you remove the thing that is blocking you from seeing it? You are so fricking smart, moron.
looks like skyrim
not even skyrim looked that bad
Remove the mist and it'll look exactly the same. You don't just fricking remove the very thing that's still keeping your game running at 60fps and cry that things in distance look bad when they're intentionally hidden so that your computer wouldn't spontaneously combust.
I kneel because mods on Ganker allow pedo porn as long as it's posted by shills.
I love these. I wish they'd have given the overworld one more pass of hand polished encounters cause its just a teeny bit empty at times, or too rehashed.
I want to know what the wrecked ships in the distance look like up close.
I don't play garbage so

Why did Miyazaki make it so heavy rapiers are as strong as the lance wtf
Because heavy rapiers are basically spears.
I think the idea was that the lance was 'the' horseback weapon, they failed by not giving it bonus damage on a horse or a unique moveset

You didn't beat the game

bow down, pig
basically i don't have to fight u nerd. all u can do with these queers is walk away
Pretty sure I invaded this exact same build and was winning until his friend came out of nowhere with a that madness spear an ganked me baka
Yea probably, I dont play these games for the PvP, and the meta completenly ruined doing less than optimal builds.
