Everyone is busy speculating what the Nightreign dlc will bring beyond two new characters... I honestly wouldn't mind a hardcore mode. As in, if you go down, and no body revives you, you're done, you're kicked, goodbye. Because 90% of the time when someone takes off by themselves, and dies too far away for anyone to help them, they leave the game anyway. I don't, but I'm not a little quitter bitch. My favorite is when at level one we land, someone immediately takes off, opens an Evergaol, dies in two seconds, leaves. Never pinged. If you ping, I'll follow you, I'll help you, I'll stick with you. But if you just immediately take off with no indication of where the fuck you're going... How am I supposed to know? And I get it, I'm not a pinger. So if I take off, and no body follows, I don't hit shit I know I can't handle. And leaving at level one is a huge bitch move anyway since you literally lose nothing at that point. If you're mad that no one read your mind, and followed you... Fucking mark ot next time, asshole. Happens a lot. It would also punish people who aren't team players. I got completely gangbanged by a group of Marionettes at a magic ruins in a round recently. I'm laying on the ground bleeding out, fucking Raider runs right past me, he could easily revive me in like one hit. Meanwhile, the Executor who has been across the entire ruins fighting half the boss, I watch on the map as he drops everything, and books it sprinting over to me to revive me. So for the rest of the round I helped him in any way I could, fuck that Raider, he deserves to play alone. I don't go down often so when I do I appreciate anyone who takes the time, and risk to get me back up because I ALWAYS get my team back up. I'd love to have an NPC summon available in solo mode. Someone who's actually half-way reliable. I love the chaos of playing with random people, but... It's incredibly frustrating watching them completely ass the final boss fight up. I was in a round with a Wylder named Velstadt so the assumption then is, ok so with that name this is obviously someone who has played Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 2 might be the most difficult of the Souls games so... This person must know their shit. Nah. Three bars vs Sentient. I expected that from the team Recluse, but dude... You can't have beaten DS2, and be that bad. And he wasn't that bad til we got to Sentient at which point he completely fell apart. Maybe it was his first time. If I have decent fire power I can definitely carry against Sentient, but... When all I really have is the incantation that literally sets me on fire, and drains my health because the team Recluse vacuumed everything else up then proceeded to die immediately... Yeah, at that point ya'll deserve the loss. If you see I have +4 fire attack power, and hoard every good fire spell to yourself, fucking stay dead. And people want Guardian to be given the ability to be a proper caster. Fuck that, we got enough casters, we're adding two fucking more to the pool of assholes you'll have to fight for equipment for, give me another solid fucking melee character.
And here's my whole thing with Sentient. No one wants to fight the moth. Melee characters say he's too hard to hit. He's really not, he gets low enough to hit after every attack, you just need to be patient, and time your attacks. But because of this I'm happy to fight the moth, no problem. My problem comes in when the scorpion goes underground, and idiots think they're gonna come help me, and all that happens is they then drag the scorpion's aggro over to me which then gets me hit when it pops back up out of the ground. If you're on scorpion, stay the fuck away from me, keep it on the other side of the arena. It's such an amateur move to drag it over to me, it pisses me off so much. I don't need your help, and if you'll leave me to it I can almost always kill the moth by myself faster than two of you can kill the scorpion. Use your fucking brains. If the scorpion is on your ass, and you stupidly run over to me, it's gonna fucking HIT ME trying to hit you. I hate taking bullshit damage. Fuck off.

I disagree. I'd take Elden Stars over Triple Rings any day. Triple Rings is a top tier incantation, I definitely wouldn't pass it up. But... you can be stuck in casting animation while you throw Triple over and over. Or you cast Elden Stars, and go in with your holy dagger while it chases the boss down for 30 seconds. Also, getting Discus of Light, and Triple Rings on the same seal is pretty redundant since Triple is Discus x3.
Give me Triple Rings, and Elden Stars on one seal, and I'll show you disgusting🖤
We've spoken about the new Faith caster coming... What do we think of the new Int boy?
I do have a long-time love for male magi~
Interestingly, he's going to be an Int/Arcane character. He, and Undertaker both look to be more hybrid like Duchess which honestly I prefer to pure casters. Casters ate extremely powerful... when they're not dead which is most of the time. I like a man who can handle himself. Watching a great Wylder do his thing is fucking sexy xD

I've heard we'll be seeing Artorias in the DLC... But how many of you Elden Ring pansy fucks have played Dark Souls? Nothing against Elden Ring, I obviously love it, but Dark Souls is a different beast, you can tell that already by the Dancer, and Nameless King fights being among the most difficult. Draconic Tree Sentinel? No problem. Dancer? Fuck my life xD Like the Dancer's spin attack, Artorias has a bullshit combo move where he jumps, spins, slams down on you, he does this 3/4 times, and if you get caught in it, you're fucking dead. I've fought Artorias many times, only beaten him twice. I'm assuming we're going to get Abyss-corrupted, half-dead, broken arm Artorias which is a shame cause I've always wanted to fight him full power. He's definitely not getting dialog though. They cut his dialog in Dark Souls because by the time you get to him it's way past too late, he's completely consumed, you have to kill him if for no better reason than it's the merciful thing to do because he's not coming back from the dark. Ciaran, and Gough knew that, that's why they don't try to stop you. Now that would be an interesting fight, vs Ornstein, Ciaran, Gough, and Artorias in his prime. That's the fight I want.

She's not getting either. Black Knife Assassin is already an enemy in game, they're not gonna give you a skin of an enemy in game. She also won't be getting Ciaran because Wylder already has Artorias. Artorias, and Ciaran are heavily implied to be romantically involved in Dark Souls 1 so giving their respective skins to siblings... There are people who couple up Wylder, and Duchess, but uh no, they're definitely brother and sister, twins even.
Although... There's Marika and Radagon who do some freaky shit... But would you qualify them as siblings since they're technically two people using one body? That's a fucking rabbithole I'm not getting into right now xD
If anyone, Duchess should get a Dark Souls 3 Firekeeper skin.
I could see Recluse getting the Desert Sorceress or Revenant getting Velka.
And if they wanted to throw Bloodborne into the mix...

We finally got word on the Nightreign DLC.
Fuck yes. Even though it comes out about the same time the next season of 76 starts... We all know which I'm choosing. I did unlock my full pink kitchen in 76 today, and they're running Mothman Equinox for the next two weeks, but with no new rewards so... meh.
But. One of the new characters coming to Nightreign does intrigue me.
She's called the Undertaker, and she's a Strength/Faith build which is pretty much the opposite of Duchess being the Dex/Int build. But I do love me some incantations. That's the thing though... She kinda seems like she's going to be everything Revenant wishes she was. Because a lot of people try to play Rev as a strength character, but she just doesn't have the HP or stamina for it. So I forsee a lot of Revenant mains switching to Undertaker because she'll make Revenant pretty much irrelevant. Sure, Revenant has her summons, but... past the first day they're pretty useless, any boss will kill them almost instantly because for some reason they don't scale with her. So she'll be level 15 with level 1 summons. If they buffed her summons to scale with her, she'd be more useful. As it stands Recluse already matches her in Incantations so there's really no reason to play her. Of course no one could replace Duchess for me, she's literally my character that I've made through my entire Souls journey.
I saw someone asking why they'd give her the Black Leather Armor. For me. No, seriously, they made her specifically for me with the armor set I always used in the other games xD
But. I'm willing to try out the new girl. I've never played Recluse or Revenant because being a pure caster just doesn't interest me. I don't want to stand back, and cast spells from a mile away, I wanna slap the boss in the face. That's why being a hybrid class is so much fun. Being a hybrid class that can possibly use huge weapons... I'd give that a try. Give me Maliketh's Black Blade, and Placidusax's Ruin, we'll have some fun~

This asshole Raider...
On my ass every time I open a box of seals, steals Triple Rings out from underneath me, and then fucking leaves the game. Left me to duo Everdark Libra with an Ironeye. And we win because he was actually not terrible. I felt really bad actually because I accidentally pointed down towards him after we won xD Which is generally perceived as you telling someone they did bad. I meant to clap, and clicked the wrong gesture, immediately clapped after, but people also use the clap as like a sarcastic gesture again to tell people they suck. I probably confused the Hell outta him, he really did pretty good though xD Contrary to popular opinion, I think duos are much, much easier than trios. Sure, in trios you gave two people to rely on, but it's easier for me only having one other person to take care of/keep track of/keep alive. Bosses also feel much less tanky balanced for two. It's common enough for trios to turn into duos with the rampant leaving of games, and FromSoftwares refusal to pynish people for it in any way. I still think shipping chronic leavers off to a leaver server to play with other leavers would solve the issue. You gotta beat three rounds in the leavers lobby to get out of jail. And I'm talking people who consistently leave cause even I will leave a game occasionally. I left one today because the other Duchess, because other Duchess players seem to be the absolute worst garbage teammates, duped their Carian Regal Scepter, but did not give one to me. Which seems to be a common situation for me with other Duchess, and Recluse players, they're so fucking greedy. I can understand keeping a second if it has a useful passive on it. But they never do. You're not double fishing staffs, idiot, share the wealth. I do. If I have something really good that would be useful for a teammate, and I can dupe it for them, I'm happy to. Call me immature, but it's always been my stance that if you're a bad teammate, I'm not helping you win, and you're lucky if I don't stick around just to grief you.
That Raider though... Blows my mind that he'd grab Triple Rings, one of the best incantations in the game, right out from under me, the only caster on the fucking team. Going against Libra who is weak to holy. Totally makes sense. Caster Raider is a whole stupid meme thing. Yes, let's give the guy with D Intelligence/Faith scaling all the spells, definitely not stupid🙄

This is why you don't help people... You stop for two seconds to help, and a big-ass wolf plows right through you.
Ah, but noble, chivalrous Wylder, sacrificing himself to bring me back🖤
While I'm laying on the ground, "Pleasedontdietryingtosaveme." Wise decision. I was a one bar with 6 flasks left. I just took an unlucky hit. I got targeted despite being invisible. You can't rely heavily on invisibility. That other Duchess was just awful. Duchess is probably the best character to use vs ED Gladius because he's so dodge heavy, but every other Duchess I've played with dies constantly to him. I actually don't mind my teammates taking Less Likely to be Targeted with him because it's easier to dodge his attacks when they're coming straight at me. What gets people consistently killed is the boss, and this true for any boss, suddenly switching aggro. So you think it's attacking your teammate, then boom, you get fucking slammed in an instant aggro swap. It's kinda bullshit. So I'd rather just take all the aggro so I can consistently see what's coming at me. Most other people have a hard time dodging Gladius attacks anyway especially hia large AOE attacks. I've watched the three combo ground fire explosion take out many, many, many people which is a shame because the end of that attacks is one of the best opportunities to smack the shit outta him.

It was a beautiful win streak...
Until these bozos...
I could've left. Leaving doesn't count as a loss. I didn't realize how terrible these two were til we were in the final boss, and they're at a three bar before Gladius is even 25% down. I could've left. But I deserve the loss. I can carry against Gladius, I know him well. Maybe it's because I hadn't been able to play for a couple days, maybe I just wasn't in it once I realized they weren't going to be any help at all. I deserved the loss because I could've done it, I just didn't.
Still... fucking bozos. I had Rivers, and Elden Stars, all they had to do was not fucking die. The Executor had TWO Rivers, and still couldn't stay alive. There are types of Executor. The badass who knows how to competently deflect, and the dumbass who think becoming the dog is going to save the day.
