Random Thoughts

In all honesty, amazed that gets a wiki entry over the likes of RustyMetal and Killuminati who posted phone calls to SE support and making their lives hell, teleporting Vrtra above ground to go rampage in a lowbie area, or Minidragon who essentially played this game 20+ hours a day for 3 years.

I threw at least two bomb cores accidentally.

Bomb cores could be forgiven but not Stygian Ash

Sea was definitely a gift when it came to memes, from people trying to hide how to spawn Jailers, The Wall, Scholar shenanigans leading to the job getting nerfed, and that dude ( who I think was a mod at the time) getting shit on for saying something elitist about Sea NMs then him posting a picture of himself in his Porche to gloat that he's successful irl then just getting shit on even more.

I forget which one of the jailers it was that would randomly resurrect when you killed it? Me and a group were farming it one night when several of the LS leadership were conspicuously absent so I made sure I mentioned in LS chat each time it resurrected. I think I got up to 22 or so before they told me to stfu

good ol ix'drk. The worst part was there was no rhyme or reason on it reraising or not. It also had a really shitty spawn mechanic.

Wasn't the SCH thing something like with enough of them you could get their DoT doing like 1M damage a tick?

Using and onevent trigger, you could have 18 SCH use that JA to up the DoT to a crazy number. I'm sure sure why the onevent was necessary, but I'm presuming theres some timing issue involved to ensure all 18 get included before the next tick. SE nerfed the JA by making it able to fail...and on anything you'd use it on it will fail 100% of the time.

I stand by my previous assertion that Souls style games are not difficult. They're just tedious. If they had a sensible checkpointing system like most modern games, nobody would be clamoring about how difficult they are.

[archibaldcrane]

Most bosses are going to take 5-10 or more attempts to beat.

That's difficult.

[Andalusian girls]

there's a lot of weird contrarianism when it comes to the Souls series. tryhards and critics alike both go the dumb lol it isn't even that hard route when it's like don't be a cunt m8 it's obviously harder than most games be real

Nah 5-10 is not difficult. Got, SNK fighting game bosses, Mike Tyson in punch out, Bruiser bros in the super variant, golden variants of grace and glory, THOSE are difficult. Souls games at best are monster hunter tier and despite enjoying monster hunter games for not being a cakewalk at G Rank I wouldn't call it difficult.

[Demosthenes]

Then again I didn't find the Valkyrie fights difficulty at max difficulty in God of War. People keep saying they are, so maybe difficult means something else to me.

how cringe not cool

Tedious not difficult is like the Adamantoise fight in FFXV not Souls bosses

Souls bosses are just dodge/roll and don’t get greedy

Which you would think the dodge/roll part would be harder but it’s not, it’s the don’t get greedy part. People just wanna hack hack hack and win and usually end up dead because they risk it for the biscuit and end up eating shit instead.

pattern recognition and reaction timing more than anything but aye, simple formula shined to perfection
