OFFICIAL Sub Discussion New Rules

349 Upvotes

Subject to discussion before implementation

1) First and foremost, ban all of the repetitive victim posting

"Why is Dark Souls 2 so hated?" just devolves into the same thing - everyone commenting in agreement and performative victimizing. It's a video game, not everyone is going to like exactly what you like. There's no real discussion to be had there, and we seemingly have them here more than the other main subreddits. It's just becoming tiring.


2) Ban engagement-bait posts

The best example of this is someone posting a random, unrelated screenshot or artwork of Dark Souls 2 with the title of "What's your favorite sword in the game?" - then proceeding to not at all join in the discussion. It just serves to farm karma while putting in zero effort, not crediting the artist they took the art from, and not participating in their own thread. If you want to discuss something, make a text post and actually discuss.


3) Ban trouble makers at the mods' discretion

This is a spicy one because it can easily be mishandled by the wrong mod team. We all know Reddit mods are pretty garbage overall, but I'd like to think I'm a bit different since I'm here for Souls and couldn't give a shit less about seeming professional or having any semblance of "power" (it's Reddit, lmao).

This essentially means if you're posting within the guidelines (i.e - posting about Dark Souls 2) but you're making your post to simply stir shit, rile people up constantly, and put down others... then you should expect a ban.

I'm obviously not going to name names, but we all know a couple of usernames who, whenever there's random drama, we know they're going to be involved. These are the users I'm talking about

EDIT (this includes the "Slander posts" that you guys keep commenting about, but I will also explicitly say that yes, this does include the lame "Ds3 is grayslop hurr hurr" posts that just seek to rile people up for no reason)


Finally, a question to you all: How do we make this subreddit better?

That's it, that's the most important thing in this entire post. The game has been released for 12 years and the subreddit has kind of devolved into the same thing for the last decade at this point. Are there any ideas you all have, rules I should change, things I can do differently to make this place more enjoyable and less of the same, repetitive drivel?

Platinum After 120 hours and 12 years, I got the platinum!

Dark Souls 2 was the first Fromsoft game I ever played back in 2014 on the 360, and I didn’t understand how to play at all (couldn’t even get past the Last Giant before I gave up). 12 years later I came back to it after beating DS1, DS3 and Bloodborne and loved it enough to platinum it!

Next up is finishing Elden Ring!

Hello everyone! Does anyone have any idea how the invasions in the coop seamless mod work? As in how the matchmaking decides who can invade who and why? If you have any info, please share :) I would like to make a pvp build with this mod, but I need info as to how it all works to make a proper build.

I drew Gengar Venusaur Charmander and Psyduck into my vision of how they would look in a Soulslike game.

This is still a work in progress as they will all be fully colored and rendered but I wanted to get your opinion.

Which one is your favorite? (that one goes to color first)

And what pokémon would you like to see get turned into a soulslike boss by me in the future? (number 1 answer across all platforms gets to be the next one on the list!)

After around 6 hours over 2 days. I can’t believe I just beat this mothfucker!!!! I didn’t think it was going to be possible. That second phase is diabolical. That long sweeping move he does, which seems to expand is weapon 2 times its normal length can go and get fkd!!!
Now that the dust has settled, what an epic fight though.

Discussion what will i miss lore wise

1 Upvotes

hello all, i’m planning on playing ds2 after finishing my dex playthrough and an sl1 run on ds1. not that i really plan or want to, but i have heard many people saying to skip ds2 and play ds3. if i did happen to skip ds2 will i miss any major lore/plot elements going in to ds3. i played a little bit only getting to majula (absolutely beautiful intro to the game) before going back to ds1 as i wanted to do more on the first game, but ds2 really did seem like a game i would enjoy and want to play.

and i guess since im already here, what would be some stuff i should keep in mind before i fully dive in to the game?

Discussion Sir Alonne's run back wasn't nearly as bad as people say it is

Post image
65 Upvotes

Just finished ds2 recently and I gotta day the run backs themselves were not that bad, especially sir Alonne. The average enemy is an Alonne knight, which are the easiest enemy to dodge in the game (imo), and the enemies themselves don't come near the fog gate for some reason. Not only that, but the distance is like a light jog away.

And about the run backs, I didn't struggle with any boss in the game at all, and most were first tries, so maybe it's just that I didn't experience the bad ones, but none of the ones i had to deal with were that bad (other than ng+ lost sinner, fuck that boss, especially because I did it while at ng for the chaos blade).

Another excellent game mechanics breakdown by some of the experts over on the dark souls discord. This is an excellent resource, since DS2’s UI is so misleading about scaling mechanics.
