Dark souls 2: Wishlist

Seignar wrote:Yeah, but we don't know if mounts are exclusive to this 2-part enemy or its a feature that all mobs can use. If its exclusive to him, then it ain't really a feature.

And I know they said they might implement vehicles, but they mentioned this for the player and not for enemies; it isn't even an idea they are doing, rather considering.

No, the bosses were not easy to me because of practice, but because they were easy. O&S was one of the very few that I didn't kill on first or second try. The bosses in DaS are a JOKE.
Who cares if they make easy mode? I do, and so do many others. It would ruin the series. It would remove the atmosphere.
Btw, I was talking on behalf of true Souls fans. You clearly are not among us.

I'm afraid I can't agree with that. When someone wishes for drastic changes to the core gameplay of the Souls series, I don't think they quite get the idea FromSoft had in mind...
Or why we love it so much. If you implement these large changes then it's just like any other medieval RPG.

AGREE/DISAGREE: Rapidfire bows. I’m eatin people alive with my bows as is. Especially when you get the head shots down. Bows are meant to tease. Maybe shoot 2 arrows simultaneously at the cost of range?

Yea i know bow is a viable option (since i got killed by a bunch of bow user, dat poison arrow), but in my opinion, current ranged weapon are lacking on characteristic. The difference between bow and crossbow is that bow require both hands, while you can use other like a pistol which is quite ridiculous. Aside from that, it also has the same dilemma as the other weapon and spell, which is lack of variety.

Most of bow user i encounter on pvp is using composite and if lucky enough, longbow. Other bow is just not that good enough and serve it's purpose as collection on bottomless box, this case also happened certain melee weapon (and certain weapon type). Spell in the other hand also has the same fate, i mean who need combustion when you have greater combustion, and so on.

What i wanna see is more weapon / spell choice for us instead of getting narrowed when almost reaching endgame content. Imagine fighting pyromancer (sry for lack of variation since my char are only dex and pyro dex) who use basic fireball instead of the same "here we go again" spellset because it's viable. This concept will keep the game fresh on both PVP and PVE since you will have hellish build combination to try, while trying to find how to counter certain build.

Oh yeah i almost forgot one thing, i think the reason why ppl avoid high SL pvp aside from several spell / weapon is getting outdated, is because the stat point is already soo high that you can stack high poise, yet still able to do ninja roll, or having super high HP. I think it's time for dev to add more capabilities for light armor, giving them more reason (asside from weight since increasing end solve that issue) for us to wear light armor, like able to dodge backstab / grab, or a chance to reduce damage and negate stagger. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Sorry about my English btw.

Absolutely, I'm all for constructive discussion and I respect others opinions. Just when they make even a tiny semblance of sense.
I mean really - believing the game takes place in Lordran even though FromSoft said it doesn't, wanting to keep the AI incredibly dumb, hoping that invasions will be completely removed - really?
All I ask is that people think about this rationally and speculate in a logical sense, not come up with the most absurd and unlikely ideas that would ruin the game.

It's entirely possible to disagree with someone's opinion (e.g. someone else thinks the bosses are hard, you think they are easy) while still being respectful. Dismissing other people's ideas outright by calling them terrible, even if you think the reasons are obvious, makes you come off as rude and arrogant. Also, don't you think it's a bit presumptuous to repeatedly claim to speak on behalf of "true fans" of the game when a disagreement occurs? As far as I can tell, it's possible for people with very different (and conflicting) ideas to all be fans of the same game.

gmwdim wrote:"Most agree with me..."

Here's where I think you're definitely wrong. By "most" you must mean yourself and a few other players you know who are really good at Souls games. Because by the general definition of "most" there are plenty of hard bosses in Dark Souls. Heck, I'm pretty sure I've died against every boss in Dark Souls except for Pinwheel, and I'm pretty sure I'm not a particularly terrible player (especially given some of the hosts I've seen while co-oping bosses).

gmwdim wrote:You just contradicted yourself. You said "The bosses are too easy". Now you say that the games are popular because they're so difficult.

gmwdim wrote:Okay, so you're arguing that the bosses are easy, but the non-boss part of the games are difficult? That's interesting because I recall dying a lot more in boss fights than elsewhere, but maybe I'm just the exception.

gmwdim wrote:The evidence you cite for the bosses being "too easy" is that their "AI is dumb as hell and nearly all of them have an exploitable weak spot". So how, then, did you die "a lot of times" to the axe-traps in Sen's, which have even dumber "AI" than the bosses and certainly have an exploitable weak spot (i.e. wait for the right time and run forward)? Really, a guy who finds Flamelurker, Capra Demon, 4 Kings, Kalameet, Manus (assuming you have the DLC), etc. to be so easy that they're "a joke" died repeatedly to axes in Sen's? You must be either making things up or have a truly unique play style.

gmwdim wrote:"The bosses in DaS are a JOKE."
"The bosses are too easy."

Your exact words. The only exception you mentioned was O&S. Logically concluding, then, that you believe 4 Kings is easy is not "twisting your words".

Also, a guy without DLC saying other people are not "true fans" of the game? Now THAT is a joke.
