by Samurainova Thu May 30, 2013 8:34 pmAs well all know, dark souls is a game where everyone thinks differently. Dark souls is a game where each person is left alone in complete darkness, and must find their own path. Every player has their own set of morals, beliefs, and opinions on how dark souls should be played. I invite you all to share your philosophy, and to agree or disagree with mine as you wish. Although, let it be know that while I'm open to disagreement, it goes without sayin that it must be kept civil, an not escalate into something that must be put into the moderator hands. That being said, this is my philosophy on dark souls. That being said, here I discuss some of the most controversial topics in the game.
1. Backs tabs- More than likely the most controversial topic of the entire game. Backs tabs are something that every person in the game has their own thoughts about. For me, I feel that backstabs are a PVP necessity. Anything abused will always be bad, but used appropriately backstabs are a necessary part of the gameplay. For not for backstabs, people could do a they wish without repercussion, and the thought of keeping your back covered forces players to act more strategically and conservatively. Of course, their will always be those who wish to abuse the art of backstabbing, but you will always find those who abuse such powers all the same, whether it be backstabbing, magic, etc.
2. Magic- As well all know, magic can be a tricky subject, especially that involving the use of Dark Bead an the infamous wrath of the gods. These spells have made players angry more than almost any other, and I can see why. However, I accept these spells, because they are a part of the game. Of course they are spammed to often, and of course they can turn the tides of battle very fast. However, this is why I love them so. They can be use to take down gankers in a mirage of hilarious ways. They can give players without combat abilities a chance in battle. If you are having trouble with these spells however, wrath of the gods can be rolled past for a backstab, I timed correctly. The same goes for dark bead. I would highly suggest rolling forward for doging these spells, because rolling sideways can give you a chance of being clipped by lag spikes. Other than these, all other spells seem fairly legit.
3. Bowing- I personally now before every duel. Why? Because I choose to. I feel that bowin is a why to show your opponent respect, and it's my persoanl philosophy to respect all of my opponents, even those who hack. You donor have to bow by any means. I will not hold it against you whether you do or don't.
4. Hacking- While I generally am against health modders, it's always an exhilarating challenge to test your skill against someone with invincibility. It is because of these people that I choose to be wo I am, and even though what they are doing is wrong, they are still souls players and I love them all the same. I mean, come on, their cant be good without evil right? Other than that, I am also against modded armor that makes you near invincible. Smoughs armor plus fifteen.... That's quite unfair. As far as stats, some people may think they're hiding the all around 99 to all stats, but your not. Cloth armor and a broadsword does not cover up the stats. Even so it the skill that matters, and the stats aren't too large of a threat. Most don't even notice.
5. Ganking- I am very conflicted on this topic, because quite honestly I despise gankers. None the less while talkin to them I found that many are quite pleasant. Therefore, if the gankers are in the big forest, no harm no foul. If they are spamming the well what is it after they kill you, they are trolling, and must be dealt with accordingly.
That I all I will post so far. Tell me what you think an make sure you post and agreements and disagreements in a civilized manner, thank you.
