Backstabs are necessary, they were just done horribly wrong. Without backstabs Dark Souls would be completely different. On top of that, it's a practical necessity to keep the game going as it is.
Again, they were just done horribly wrong.
/end rant.

Well when you back it up with such compelling points, who could disagree?

Without backstabs, gankers would be so much harder to kill without Dark Magic/WotG.

Exactly this^. However FROM seemed to improve the backstab function pretty well now.Dibsville wrote:Backstabs are necessary, they were just done horribly wrong. Without backstabs Dark Souls would be completely different. On top of that, it's a practical necessity to keep the game going as it is.

Ahh... The backstab. I personally enjoy the feeling of pressing a toothed dagger into a invaders spine, forcing them to the ground and later absorbing their remains as humanity and souls.
When people try the same with me, I do the obvious thing and avoids it by dodging. Their blades striking next to me, I decide my next move, rolling to the side and strike them with a kick, pushing them into the deep chasm.

+1, Funniest thing i've read all day.
As much as I dislike backstabs, I understand that they're necessary. However, you shouldn't be able to just 1-shot people with 1800 health with a buffed-great-club-hornet-ring roll bs.
I'm also glad they're removing the i-frames on backstabs. It'll make it harder to kill gankers, but that's part of the reason: if you win a 3v1 pvp match, it should be because you're better than your opponents, not because you can use a magic bullet to 1-shot them.
EDIT: How can I make this text not appear in the quote box? Is really quite annoying.

The last button in the editor is called "Switch editor mode"
Press that and the code will show.
example: instead of the box there will be [ Quote="insertnamehere"][/quote]
I can also provide picture if you are still wondering.

Than what would be the point of having daggers in the game? Just for parrying?
I think it would be much more damaging if they took backstabs out of the next game, they just need a bit of work.

I don't disagree that backstabs are done wrong, however they are a key element in the game.
Whole Thief class and Dagger weapons would have no meaning if backstabs weren't involved.
In PvP, I can understand the frustration of getting backstabbed. I think we all were there at some point. That's the point, where one has two choices. Either to adapt and learn how backstabs work to be able to defend against them and even counter them, or to go cry on the internet and leave the game soon after. If you look around the forum, there are many tutorials and tips on how to fight against backstabs.
Here is one such thread: https://soulswiki.forumotion.com/t3632-backstabbs-and-some-ways-of-countering-them
And here is a great thread if you have other questions regarding the game: https://soulswiki.forumotion.com/t14267-resource-threads-to-check-out-for-rookies-and-vets-20
But OP can be happy I guess. With the new backstab mechanic we saw from DkS II demo, perhaps they'll be next to useless in PvP.
^Sarcasm.

Backstabs both represent a factor of actual combat and act as balancer. It evens fights with heal spammers and people who have more poise than should be possible.
I think that the problems with backstabs are more often actually problems from lag or players who abuse them. The hitbox is too big and with the amount of lag, the bizzare angles and distances that players can backstab is sometimes ridiculous. High poise can be factored in as well, especially if the character is min-maxed to light roll. Players should have to wear heavier equipment to get poise in Dark 2.
We've had this conversation many times before, and it basically always comes to the same result; backstabs should be worked on, and even if they're not, they should stay.

Get rid of back stabs, get rid of parrying
Get rid of parrying, get rid of pvp
Get rid of pvp, DON'T bother giving us DkS2
Back stabs are a part of Souls games. Even tho I don't pvp, it would be boring to fight someone face to face all the time. I agree with the others on how the bs is a little better, but having it teaches people to try and counter it or stay away from it. Not having it would be boring as hell. Might as well play offline since pvp would suck.

This thread has run its course. It was not the most carefully crafted thread to promote discourse but worse has been said about the community at large. OP took a fair amout of negs for it compared to the tone of the words. A playful verbal jab here or there is ok but no need to pile on the neg rep.
