[cinder juniper]

Isn't the anniversary of Silksong trailer?

[wise whale]

So is it out?

[cinder juniper]

But not hollow knight

[serene chasm]

yeah. but as graig said, who cares about that

[worthy lichen]

silksong releases when giant enemy fool says it will

[wheat sail]

graig plays league so idk

[serene chasm]

good point. cant be trusted

[worthy lichen]

oppinion immediately invalidated

[radiant wraith]

"Silksong news for 10000 geo" - red-named sly creature

[worthy lichen]

I can get that

[serene chasm]

dang. only 10000 geo?

[worthy lichen]

just give me a while

[cinder juniper]

proof that if you play Lol your opinion is invalid

[radiant wraith]

Just 10000 geo

[worthy lichen]

at least he doesn't play genshin

[radiant wraith]

I always look for possible League accounts before voting presidents

League playing president.

[serene chasm]

Mark and Ian, what time is it down there for you? Just curious

[radiant wraith]

11:11 pm

[cinder juniper]

now graig gets angry and delays Silksong

[worthy lichen]

genshin players when they get arrested (they have to go outside)

[cinder juniper]

yup

[serene chasm]

gracias

[wheat sail]

minecraft players when you tell them to craft a job application and get a job

[radiant wraith]

"alert: missile strike inbound"

[serene chasm]

thats paper around a workbench. pretty easy to make.

[worthy lichen]

oh no. It is him.

[cinder juniper]

@coarse leaf

[radiant wraith]

It's more fun to do things yourself

[worthy lichen]

oh yeah, I said that

[cinder juniper]

Ian

[worthy lichen]

no

[cinder juniper]

U ready for the +700 Instagram stories of couples

[radiant wraith]

I don't really use Instagram, do we really have people here celebrating Valentine's?

[worthy lichen]

I'm ready for 3/4 of my friends to flex on me and make fun of me tomorrow

[tawdry valley]

Why wait

[cinder juniper]

yeah man lol, it's full of them

[radiant wraith]

I thought that was an american thing

[west tree]

Silksong

[worthy lichen]

WAIT

[radiant wraith]

Dang americans, why are your ways so infectious?

[cinder juniper]

Halloween is getting here too

[worthy lichen]

because we invade other countries for oil

[cinder juniper]

Don't know why, although Valentine's is celebrated here

[worthy lichen]

also communism

[radiant wraith]

I saw a guy dressed as a rhombus on halloween

[worthy lichen]

because that always went well

[cinder juniper]

Honestly the people who post stories of "another valentine's alone" bother me more than the ones who post stories with their lover

[radiant wraith]

And some furries pretending that they were using regular Halloween costumes

[gilded adder]

I have returned

[cinder juniper]

Lmao

[radiant wraith]

Very smart

[cinder juniper]

I don't understand how furries manage to not melt in those suits

[serene chasm]

If you spend 2000 dollars + on something, you wear it as much as you can

[worthy lichen]

they do

[cinder juniper]

also, how do they go to the bathroom?

[fresh turtle]

They have no Valentine at least let them have the #foreveralone clout post for the day

[fresh turtle]

Brown fur

[worthy lichen]

we don't talk about it

[radiant wraith]

Do not ask that question again

[worthy lichen]

moving on...

[cinder juniper]

I would reply to those stories with that meme of Mr Incredible saying "please shut the fuck up"

[kind dove]

let me complain about my loneliness ffs

[worthy lichen]

another valentines day alone I guess love just isn't meant for me, forever alone nobody loves me

[fresh turtle]

I would reply L + Ratio

[cinder juniper]

I'm lonely as well

[uncut citrus]

Unless...

[worthy lichen]

L + ratio

[cinder juniper]

Literally, like, nobody cares you're alone shut up

[worthy lichen]

r-reevers

[fresh turtle]

I am noticing relationships in hk almost never go well

[gilded adder]

Elden Ratio

[worthy lichen]

wdym the nailsmith has one that ends well

[fresh turtle]

Malenia the Savage

[radiant wraith]

If you marry a tree they don't

[kind dove]

iselda and corny, nailsmith and sheo

[cinder juniper]

I believe Silksong hasn't come out yet cuz Elden Ring would ratio it

[fresh turtle]

"Almost"

[worthy lichen]

just like hornet and lace

I almost threw up typing that

[radiant wraith]

[fresh turtle]

I'd risk it all on the white lady ngl

[kind dove]

cry

[radiant wraith]

She's a tree

[worthy lichen]

I am crying

[night slate]

Y’know that coral boss that was in the ss reveal trailer? How is canon for a bug to control coral

[fresh turtle]

Yes, a very, VERY horny tree

[uncut citrus]

Caioio is rapidly approaching your location

[worthy lichen]

just like me and carmelita

[cinder juniper]

probably isnt

[steady raven]

We have a bug that can control poo, coral is just a less gross way of doing that

[kind dove]

god damn

[fresh turtle]

She literally says so lmao

[uncut citrus]

||she canonically is but lets maybe... not...||

[worthy lichen]

he's not wrong

[kind dove]

i dont think he controls it

[cinder juniper]

I mean, if the world's sake depended on how much I have to make children I would probably do it even if I don't enjoy it after the first 400 times

[uncut citrus]

maybe not continue this path...

[worthy lichen]

however, that doesn't mean he's right, drop it

[cinder juniper]

yeah we should stop

[fresh turtle]

I would simply let the world die.

[kind dove]

anyways, valentines day!

[steady raven]

He kind of does, that attack where he dives into it and it shoots out of the floor is not natural, that shit has to be magic

[worthy lichen]

why won't the slowmode alert go off my screen

[night slate]

And a worm that can birth other worms at will

[cinder juniper]

happens the same to me

[worthy lichen]

It's just constantly hovering there above my keyboard

[kind dove]

you got a point

[cinder juniper]

it's 10 seconds of slow mode tho

[fresh turtle]

You think any of the other vessels that escaped the abyss could end up in silksong

The not dead ones

[worthy lichen]

nah bro I thought dead ones can move my bad

[cinder juniper]

Maybe

[uncut citrus]

||so noone||

[fresh turtle]

I'm a dumbass they're all dead even the moving ones

[kind dove]

maybe we could have a secret wall where you can find a vessel corpse

[fresh turtle]

You get what I mean

[worthy lichen]

I was literally typing that

[steady raven]

I don't want to be a pessimist, but I don't think many of them made it out, and if they did they probably didn't get very far

[cinder juniper]

Team Cherry really liked the idea of dead children in their game huh

[worthy lichen]

I think we only know of like 4-6 of them

[fresh turtle]

I mean 1/1000+ is ridiculous odds. By sheer probability more than the knight/ghost had to actually make it outside hallownest

[cinder juniper]

Stop it why

[kind dove]

i really dont want to see much of HK in silksong, im a sucker for mostly self contained sequels

||of course, im a jojo fan||

[worthy lichen]

the knight, thk, greenpath baybe, broken vessel, and there's like 1 or 2 in nosk's lair

[cinder juniper]

no need to bring dead children to Silksong too

[gilded adder]

I think it would be to Silksong's benefit if it didn't make many, if at all, callbacks to HK and focused on its new kingdom and story.

[kind dove]

literally this

all shade lord boss battle theorists can eat my pants

[sly summit]

yeah I just want a wallpaper and thats it

[uncut citrus]

theres more like 4-5 in nosk lair

[worthy lichen]

we know of a few supposedly, one being the weavers

but the most important being mr mushroom

[sly summit]

plz mr mushroom in silksong

[gilded adder]

TC did say they wanted Silksong to be able to be someone's first HK game so leaning heavily on callbacks wouldn't make much sense.

[lone lichen]

yeah i wouldn't mind small stuff like a dead vessel in a hidden area, but most stuff from hk wouldn't work narratively

[worthy lichen]

I mean it said to be continued

[radiant wraith]

I like new stuff more

[serene chasm]

We already have a mushroom in SS

[worthy lichen]

silence, non believer

[frank mist]

How yall feel about the “news”

[fresh turtle]

Ngl I feel the opposite, mystery and answer plotholes/unknowns can both exist, to barely or not at all expand on previous concepts. It doesn't have to be direct, just things we know, like seals, higher beings, tribes, sages etc there don't actually need to be vessels. Just concepts hk started not actual hk content

[gilded adder]

Much room for these mushrooms.

[worthy lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/ltg-low-tier-god-yskysn-ltg-thunder-thunder-gif-23523876

[sly summit]

I personally prefer that TC stays in silence because now I open my youtube and there are 50 videos of 10 minutes talking about a 10 words long sentence

[lone lichen]

i think the furthest you could push callbacks to hk without it being either confusing to new players or nonsensical narratively is ogrim showing up

and even that's pushing it

[worthy lichen]

he's only a playtester, cope

[radiant wraith]

Graig can go eat a lumafly then

[worthy lichen]

mmm tasty fly

[serene chasm]

How would you guys feel if Hornet actually had a romanitic subplot in SS?

[kind dove]

[radiant wraith]

It'll make his insides melt

[worthy lichen]

thanks for the info

brb eating lumaflies

[radiant wraith]

Yooo fluke omelette

[wind edge]

yeah, there was a few that did escape aside TK

[worthy lichen]

I hope you get un-pinned

[lone lichen]

the only hk character i actually expect to see is mister mushroom, ogrim is just the only other character i can justify appearing

[worthy lichen]

I do deny it, the power of that relationship cannot compare to the raw energy of carmelita

cope and seethe

[radiant wraith]

The other vessels have no purpose now, they should just stop moving and be over with it

They are useless now

[worthy lichen]

cope and seethe

[serene chasm]

Or become pin sellers

[fresh turtle]

I don't see that going any other way than being persona 5 bug edition so pls no

[worthy lichen]

I'd try to ignore it

[fresh turtle]

That could be interesting, vessels with no purpose who haven't died and just wander

[radiant wraith]

Romance Trobbio

[lone lichen]

my deal with ogrim is just "alive, still loyal to pk, likely aware of hornet's existence/identity"

[mint valve]

Only if SS is a sequel. It probably is based on the fact hornet doesn't use all the skills and tools she gets

[serene chasm]

look at this little vessel

[lone lichen]

is [random silksong npc] void

[worthy lichen]

Im sure it's a vessel mhm mhm yeah

[serene chasm]

It is. I emailed william and he said so

[worthy lichen]

just like how zote is a vessel

[lone lichen]

greenpath vessel has the same horns iirc

[gilded adder]

You're all vessels...for something great!

[fresh turtle]

Did TC actually say they'd expand more on the 5 knights? That could be interesting.

[worthy lichen]

for the infection that is #sk-discussion

[fresh turtle]

Don't do that, don't give me hope

[radiant wraith]

Zote is an impostor

[lone lichen]

actually i guess hegemol could still be on the table

[mint valve]

You mean pooldonutzero?

[gilded adder]

Remember the Sly is Hegemol truthers

[radiant wraith]

You killed him, he was a grub remember?

[worthy lichen]

the armor is hegemol

[lone lichen]

the maggot isn't hegemol

[radiant wraith]

A grub

[gilded adder]

Didn't it state that the maggot stole Hegemol's armor?

[worthy lichen]

the knight is hegemol

[radiant wraith]

Hegemol is the grub in crystal peaks

[worthy lichen]

you are hegemol

[wind edge]

Hegemol is dead

[gilded adder]

okay, cool it with the spam.

[uncut citrus]

Do NOT question GEF

[mint valve]

I think he means Hegemol the guy who owned it before the maggot stole the armor

[wind edge]

The maggot cant be hegemol because no one likes maggots 👍

[radiant wraith]

He was a grub

I feel it

[fresh turtle]

Dryya was almost alive and a boss that knowledge pains me everytime I remember

[worthy lichen]

just like how nobody likes you

[wind edge]

Drrya as in the girl by the White lady?

[worthy lichen]

I was kidding, we worship you

[kind dove]

hegemol was the armor

[fresh turtle]

Yes

[radiant wraith]

I'm gonna set this slime on fire

[wind edge]

The armor made Hegemol

[worthy lichen]

you fool I made that joke already

[kind dove]

yeah but youre not funny

[fleet vale]

Hegemol is naked and lost

[wind edge]

dead 2

[fleet vale]

May🅱️e

[fresh turtle]

Zote took my hoe, this must be how kanye feels

[uncut citrus]

okay but actually?

[worthy lichen]

yeah well my dad owns discord and he'll ban you!!!!!!!!!

[wind edge]

pro🅱️a🅱️ly

[fleet vale]

Zote deserves better, get some bugsies

[worthy lichen]

I just want r sleep, period

r sleep? ok phone

anyways I'm going to bed, goodnight gamers

[fresh turtle]

Called me a beast, that hurt

HAPPY 3RD ANNIVERSARY SILKSONG TRAILER 🎊

sorry for living in the wrong side of the world

[uncut citrus]

Oh damn right it’s the Silksong trailer’s 3rd anniversary

[serene chasm]

Time to watch it again and again and again and again

[trim estuary]

i wont do it

i cant do it again

[uncut citrus]

Weak.

[sly summit]

I watched it like at least 2 times per day since it came out

[uncut citrus]

That’s probably not

Not

[coarse leaf]

I haven’t watched it in two years

[uncut citrus]

Healthy

Like mentally

[coarse leaf]

I’ve been watching elden ring trailers every day tho

[uncut citrus]

Elden ring uh

[coarse leaf]

But at least I know the release date

[gilded adder]

HYPE, been doing the same and looking at the subreddit.
11 more days...

[uncut citrus]

I wonder if I should get it... seems like a game I would enjoy

But isn’t it like 60$ or something

[wise whale]

Yes.

[gilded adder]

Yea, it's 60, standard AAA fare.

[coarse leaf]

Yeah but 100% worth it

[uncut citrus]

[gilded adder]

Did you play the Network Test at all?

[uncut citrus]

How long will it probably be?

[coarse leaf]

Sadly I didn’t know it existed until too late

[coarse leaf]

30 hours if you rush main path

Easily double with optional content

[gilded adder]

Yea, at least as long as DS3 I'd say. But it's their biggest game yet so I'd say that you'd get way more out of it if you take your time and explore.

[wise whale]

And multiple endings

[uncut citrus]

I mean elden ring, or are you talking about it but then we already know that much about it?

[coarse leaf]

We know enough to know it’s game of the year contender

[gilded adder]

We know quite little about the game as a whole but my educated guess is that it would be no shorter than DS3.

[wise whale]

Not contender, IS

[lone lichen]

relevant to this conversation

[gilded adder]

Oh shit, that stuff got leaked?

[wise whale]

Nah

[lone lichen]

i took it from one of mordecai's videos

[wise whale]

They talked about the classes recently

[night solstice]

woah

im waiting for elden ring but forgot the release date and am too lazy to look it up

[coarse leaf]

Those weapons have to be wrong

[lone lichen]

25th

[gilded adder]

Ah, I see. What's an Estoc and Buckler btw?

[wise whale]

No

[wise whale]

Buckler is smol shield

[lone lichen]

estoc is a thrusting sword, it was in the ds games

[coarse leaf]

Fucking, long sword and halberd on vagabond who we’ve seen with a claymore?

[uncut citrus]

Yeah a buckler’s some kind of shield

[lone lichen]

yeah the weapons don't match the class art in several cases

[gilded adder]

So it seems if I want to go for a spellblade-ish build, I'd have to chose between Prisoner or Astrologer.

[coarse leaf]

Ain’t buying it

[gilded adder]

[coarse leaf]

Not elden ring, that weapon list

[wise whale]

If you wanna build it perfectly play wretch

[gilded adder]

Oh, lol.

[coarse leaf]

Already pre-ordered lol

[gilded adder]

but i'm baaaaaad

[night solstice]

oh thats pretty soon, great

[uncut citrus]

Okay I think I’m gonna wait till everyone finished elden ring to check with em if it was really that good then I’ll get it

[lone lichen]

wretch probably has too many points in faith/arcane

[trim estuary]

same except I wait for about 30 minutes to make sure it’s not super buggy

[uncut citrus]

(And possibly play silksong in between????)

[wise whale]

Soo true

[uncut citrus]

Anyways bye

[night solstice]

if you think waiting 3 years for silksong is bad
try waiting 9 years for the worlds most epic game: burrito galaxy 65

[gilded adder]

From already said they're working on a Day 1 patch as we speak so hopefully that will fix any, if all, problems.

[lone lichen]

i'm worried confessor is going to be completely outclassed for pvp

wretch too but that's always the case

[warm bone]

OOOOOOOHHHHH

[wise whale]

You can add points?

[night solstice]

i wonder if my computer can run elden ring..

[gilded adder]

GAMING ❗ ❗

[warm bone]

JONNY ‼️

[trim estuary]

I think I’ll go with prophet or confessor because I’m assuming catalyst is magic

[lone lichen]

for pvp you generally target a specific level, for example ds3 "meta" is between sl120 and sl150, so every point that a class starts with in a stat they don't use is a wasted level

[sly summit]

im truly waiting super mario galaxy 65

[night solstice]

this msg opened my eyes

[gilded adder]

Tomorrow marks the final countdown,
the start of the 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 countdown.

[lone lichen]

for example, luck is terrible in ds3, so the two classes that are regularly used for pvp builds are the classes that start with the lowest luck

[wise whale]

I guess but theres always a gimmick build options

[sly summit]

for silksong? yeah

[coarse leaf]

Luck is terrible, laughs in hollow anri’s straight sword

[night solstice]

i stopped playing ds3 at DA
not because it was too hard but i lost interest kinda

[gilded adder]

[coarse leaf]

Laughs in bleed build

[lone lichen]

anri ss can't be infused and bleed got nerfed hard

[warm bone]

I think my first build will be a strength unga bunga club build

[trim estuary]

Hello, SPEAKER OF THE FALSEHOOD

[gilded adder]

I hope there's a weapon like the Aquamarine dagger in Elden Ring, That's my favorite weapon I've seen in DS3 so far. Plus, the Moonlight Greatsword has got to make a comeback of course.

[wise whale]

There might be a great club

[coarse leaf]

Idk man, my bleed build was pretty strong

[sly summit]

u all arent fools, u are the entire colosseum

[warm bone]

it was shown in one of the trailers

[lone lichen]

i know innate bleed weapon with carthus rouge was relevant years ago but from what i know of ds3 nowadays bleed is pretty niche

[night solstice]

aaaaaaaaaa

[sly summit]

bbbbbbbbbbbbbb

[coarse leaf]

Wardens twinblades is really strong

[warm bone]

maybe I go a flail guy

[trim estuary]

It’s a #hk-meme user

[lone lichen]

yeah i don't think anyone uses wardens now

[coarse leaf]

Friede, bring me my flail.

[wise whale]

I will pick generic knight with sword

[gilded adder]

The build I was planning on going for with DS3 was a Heysel's Pick/Spellblade build since I know you can true melee combo into the weapon in your other hand and with certain magic blade spells.

[lone lichen]

i can definitely see wardens being more relevant back pre-nerf, paired weapon with innate bleed and applied carthus rouge is a cool idea to build around

[warm bone]

I feel like there are going to be a lot more spellblades in ER, just a hunch tho

[coarse leaf]

It still works

[wise whale]

I will pick a magic knight cause spell so far look cool

[gilded adder]

I'm all for it. I love spellblades and the Carrion stuff we've seen so far looks awesome.

[coarse leaf]

A perfectly valid option, my main build will be straight sword, bow, and catalyst with a few utility spells

[warm bone]

I feel like there should be a way to manually aim the bow spells

[chilly spire]

Does Hornet take knockback when attacking? I can't tell

[coarse leaf]

Second build will be magic focused

[wise whale]

Maybe?

[gilded adder]

[lone lichen]

i've been leaning towards astrologer, dex/int with a utility amount of str

[coarse leaf]

Hell yeah

[olive bobcat]

Ello chatnor'

[cerulean sable]

DEFY THE ANTI CHRIST

[lone lichen]

i've mentioned this before but i'm really curious about arcane because it's the equivalent of ds3 luck

[coarse leaf]

It’ll affect other status I think

[lone lichen]

but the network test descriptions say that it'll affect the scaling of some sorceries/incantations and it might be a wielding requirement for some useful weapons

[gilded adder]

Praying that Silksong becomes number 1 after Elden Ring releases.

[coarse leaf]

Network test isn’t final so

[lone lichen]

just depends on what tools they give arcane builds

it's not final but seeing that was a good sign

[coarse leaf]

Like, carry weight is tied to endurance now

[lone lichen]

yeah, and it was tied to strength in the network test

[coarse leaf]

Which is a welcome change

[trim estuary]

What the heck is party animals

[gilded adder]

Gang Beasts but with animals

[warm bone]

party animals 😡

[coarse leaf]

Dex builds will be able to use heavy armor

[lone lichen]

the main thing for me is that i want every weapon, ash of war, spell, and starting class to have a meaningful use

[coarse leaf]

Lmao

[trim estuary]

Why is it most 2nd most wishlisted???

[sly summit]

tf is party animals

[gilded adder]

Party Animals used to be all the craze a while back, no? And then it just faded away but still holds the second most wishlisted spot for some reason.

[hollow sedge]

silksong bouta be #1 by process of elimination

[warm bone]

people don't often get rid of games from their wishlists

[sly summit]

oh

[gilded adder]

Oh yea, true. I curate my wishlist a lot so it slipped my mind.

[sly summit]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/586931790208434203/930585110019964998/image0.gif

[lone lichen]

i know that we'll inevitably get weapons on the level of the ds3 handmaid's dagger but hopefully there are fewer of those, or they at least have some niche application

[sly summit]

IM SO FUCKING HAPPY :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[wise whale]

Y

[trim estuary]

why

[sly summit]

fuck u gray and quill

[lone lichen]

fromsoft really made a dagger that's outclassed by an infused caestus

[coarse leaf]

No news, be sad

[sly summit]

Because silksong is coming this month :D

[coarse leaf]

Ha

[silver oak]

cactus?

[warm bone]

speaker keeps misspelling elden ring

[lone lichen]

yes

[wise whale]

Caestus

[silver oak]

[gilded adder]

Can you please chill with the baseless spreading of misinformation? I know everyone here knows you're joking but someone else might get the wrong idea. Thanks.

[coarse leaf]

Caestus are just cactus tied to your fists

[long comet]

Cactuar

[warm bone]

I think cactus gloves would be a cool weapon in elden ring

[silver oak]

sounds like a pokemon

Cactar

[lone lichen]

we do have a snake shield, so i wouldn't rule it out

[warm bone]

I want more funny weapons

[coarse leaf]

Cacnea

[lone lichen]

i didn't think the snake shield looked very good in the network test, but i still want to use it

[coarse leaf]

Same

[lone lichen]

weapon art was so slow

[warm bone]

It had it's uses, it could go through walls and poison through shields

[lone lichen]

oh it could wall cheese?

[warm bone]

😈 yes

[lone lichen]

nvm goat weapon

[coarse leaf]

Is the poison any good in elden ring or is it ds3 level

[wheat sail]

2:15pm in aledelaide they might still make the blog..

[coarse leaf]

Lmao no

[trim estuary]

Lmao no

[sly summit]

wtf

[lone lichen]

i don't know the exact number, but the biggest problem with ds3 poison was being able to carry 198 poison cure items anyways

[coarse leaf]

They didn’t make an anniversary post last year, no incentive to make one this year

[coarse leaf]

Not talking pvp

[silver oak]

real

[wise whale]

They might?

[coarse leaf]

No guarantee

[lone lichen]

oh no clue then, i didn't see anyone trying to poison enemies/bosses

[warm bone]

:o

[lone lichen]

hopefully there won't be any bosses who are basically immune to ailments like in ds3

[warm bone]

oo
0

[sly summit]

this is from FF, right?

[coarse leaf]

My ds2 poison build was fun 😔

[wise whale]

Ya

[lone lichen]

yeah i hope poison is good, i'd love to do a poison build with healing incantations

poison the host, run away and heal, repeat as needed

[silver oak]

idfk
I just looked it up

[lone lichen]

i think cactaur is ff yeah

[coarse leaf]

I hate pvp in every souls game tbh

[sly summit]

is pvp in dark souls good?

[coarse leaf]

Mostly smurfs and tryhards

[lone lichen]

honestly i don't blame you, fromsoft does kinda botch the execution

[warm bone]

I have 300 hours of invading in ds3, no

[wise whale]

Ehh depends what you like

[coarse leaf]

No, I hate people

[wise whale]

I enjoy it

[sly summit]

never played dark souls being connected but... seems like... I mean, idk the meta so I dont have an opinion

[gilded adder]

Isn't there like dedicated PVP areas and system for 1v1s, aside from invasions?

[coarse leaf]

Yes

[wise whale]

Certain areas yea

[lone lichen]

yeah, usually tied to dlc

[sly summit]

but u can like just put like "search 1 v 1"?

[warm bone]

o

/\ 👇

I'm trying to make a point down guy, unsuccessfully

[wise whale]

It’s good enough

[lone lichen]

i think the concept of invasions is extremely cool but a lot of the mechanics involved mean it isn't always as fun as it could be

[lone lichen]

where's the dung pie

[coarse leaf]

Again, I hate the players, not the game

[sly summit]

Because if not u probably are invading some guy that dont wanna pvp or doesnt have a build good for it

[coarse leaf]

That’s the point of invasions

[gilded adder]

Invasions count towards covenants, right?

[cerulean sable]

the venn diagram for silksong and ER fans are close to 50-70% tbh

[coarse leaf]

The people I hate the most who invade are the ones who are immediately hostile

[warm bone]

in elden ring they are changing invasions to only if you have coop partners so it is a lot more of an opt in system than the past games

[sly summit]

yeah but at the same time I would like a fair duel instead of a "hmm, this guy came with its extreme meta range attacks that insta kills me" (idk the meta and havent played darksouls in more than a decade but I think about something like that)

[lone lichen]

fromsoft has tried to address this by tipping the balance in favor of the host (in elden ring, for instance, you cannot be invaded unless you either actively want to be invaded or participate in co-op)

[coarse leaf]

Accurate

Had someone invade me who beat the game before the first boss

[lone lichen]

twinks are scum

[warm bone]

twinks give honest invaders a bad name

[lone lichen]

"hmmm yes, today i will invade at the high wall of lothric with hornet ring/fire dagger"

[sly summit]

who/what are twinks?

[warm bone]

people invading with high level gear at low levels

[lone lichen]

people who minmax at low levels to abuse new players

[sly summit]

oh, u mean "jovencitos"

[coarse leaf]

I call them smurfs

[sly summit]

yeah I would call them smurfs too

[warm bone]

smurfs and twinks are not synonymous

[coarse leaf]

Don’t care

[sly summit]

then I wouldnt call them smurfs too

[warm bone]

smurfing is when you are skilled and just invade with that skill and no other benefit at low levels, twinks go to the late game areas and get the best gear and use that on new player zones

[coarse leaf]

Is that not having skill against low skilled players

[warm bone]

twinks usually don't have any skill

[wise whale]

Usally

[coarse leaf]

They can clearly play the game handicapped

[lone lichen]

twinks can complete the game by summoning phantoms or have legitimate players drop their desired items for them

[sly summit]

resume: pvp in games sucks single player goes brrrrrrrr

[warm bone]

they can have up to 3 phantoms to help

[wise whale]

Correct

[coarse leaf]

The only ‘twinks’ I enjoy are the ones that I summon, had someone kill dancer for me before I did vordt

[warm bone]

that does not count

[lone lichen]

one of the builds i was considering doing for ds3 a while back was a low-level invader that only used items that could be legitimately obtained at or before the area i would invade at

[sly summit]

the time I had most fun in my entire time on league of legends was in a PVE event years ago, then Riot said "hmmm, we dont obtain billions of money with those events so we arent going to do them anymore" so I uninstalled and now I play tetris

[warm bone]

I did that once and steam rolled through everyone

[ocean shuttle]

[coarse leaf]

So just get to a point and stop leveling

[lone lichen]

yeah i'm not too surprised

[wise whale]

Isn’t twinking the reason invasion is kinda gone

[lone lichen]

probably

[warm bone]

I like invading at soul level 90, not toxic meta zone but not so low that the people i invade have no idea what they are doing

[lone lichen]

yeah when i did invade i did sl90

[coarse leaf]

I can’t pvp for shit

[wise whale]

Then pvp good

[warm bone]

it takes a certain kind of stupid to get good at dark souls pvp

[coarse leaf]

Someone invades me, I try and be nice and if they don’t be back, pull the internet because fuck you

[warm bone]

you and 90% of pvers

[wise whale]

Diagnosis: skill issue

[lone lichen]

honestly if you've had nothing but bad experiences with twinks i don't blame you

[coarse leaf]

Pretty much

[warm bone]

at that point why don't you just play offline

[coarse leaf]

Summons

[warm bone]

invaders are made to balance summons

[lone lichen]

invaders are, by intent, the risk to summoning's reward

[coarse leaf]

I summon right in front of the boss, always

[wise whale]

Bad

[coarse leaf]

I can get through an area fine, I only summon for the boss

[sly summit]

I want an ornstein and smough in silksong

[coarse leaf]

Too hard to balance I think

[lone lichen]

i honestly wish summoning right in front of the boss wasn't a thing
it takes all the risk out of summoning for the host, it means the vast majority of co-op is purely boss fights rather than completing an entire level together, and it makes any invader who shows up have to sit through several extra loading screens

[sly summit]

(I just mean 1 v 2 hard af boss)

[warm bone]

they are bringing back boss invasions in the form of field bosses

[lone lichen]

the field boss invasions interest me but i worry it'll tip the balance of power too far in the invader's favor, even with bosses being able to hit invaders

[warm bone]

I don't think too far

host and phantoms can just run away after all

[coarse leaf]

I’m gonna play elden ring offline 100%

[warm bone]

or you can just not summon, seeing messages and bloodstains are always fun

[lone lichen]

they can, but i don't think that should be their goal

in my eyes, the goal of the host should be clearing the level, regardless of whether or not an invader is present

[coarse leaf]

I want a pure experience, seeing bloodstains and messages telling me what’s ahead will ruin the surprise sometimes

[warm bone]

I really like seeing goofy bloodstains

[lone lichen]

stupid bloodstains are magical

[warm bone]

also elden ring is topping best seller charts rn

[coarse leaf]

Good

[warm bone]

before it's even out

[serene chasm]

what if its bad

[coarse leaf]

It won’t be

[gilded adder]

We don't speak of such heresy here 😡

[warm bone]

even if it's bad, I'll still have fun invading

[serene chasm]

sorry jonny. please dont ban

[lone lichen]

my goal with any change to invasions would be "tip the balance of power further towards the host, but pressure the host to complete the level"

[coarse leaf]

People have already played the game, all evidence points to game of the year

[gilded adder]

Also, people who have played the game have attested to the fact that the game is good.

[warm bone]

my goal with my change in invasions would be "KILL KILL KILL KILL"

[gilded adder]

They haven't played all of it, just at most 6 hours of what they could do, but it does give us some insight.

[coarse leaf]

Elden ring is the first fromsoft game I’m going into mostly blind

[warm bone]

same

[lone lichen]

i'd argue the run back to recover your souls is very bad for invasions as a mechanic - the host will have to go further to recover their souls and thus risk losing them, so a lot of hosts will just camp the bonfire so they can recover them easily

[serene chasm]

can you set it so you cant be invaded?

[warm bone]

just don't summon

[lone lichen]

you can only be invaded if you summon

[serene chasm]

sweet.

[lone lichen]

there's also an item to call blues

[coarse leaf]

Oh boy, 4am

[warm bone]

estus piñatas

[lone lichen]

my checklist for improving invasions, without doing anything i consider too radical:

• host does not lose souls on death when being invaded
• invaders slowly lose health while in the host's world
• blues lose health faster than invaders while in the host's world, but do not give the invader estus on death

[coarse leaf]

The thing I’m most hyped for is armor customization

[warm bone]

I don't think that second one is a good idea at all

[coarse leaf]

Host can just avoid fighting the invader until they eventually die

[warm bone]

not with the bloody finger item

[coarse leaf]

You can still run away

[gilded adder]

I'm all fashioned up for Elden Ring 😎

[lone lichen]

how do you mean?

[coarse leaf]

Elden Bling

Silksong news today!

No

[gilded adder]

Can't wait for all the cool looking armor and accessories and to see people's creations and modifications.

[warm bone]

it teleports you around the host, host does not know where you are so they could try running away but actually be running toward you

[warm bone]

🥶 the drip 🥶

[gilded adder]

Alexander my beloved

[serene chasm]

TC are going to play ER and get a bunch of ideas delaying the game for a long time.

[coarse leaf]

Heh

[serene chasm]

why is everyone simping the jar man?

[warm bone]

because he is the cool

[coarse leaf]

He’s the sieg of elden ring

[kind dove]

whos the jar man

[gilded adder]

With a voice and attitude like that? How could we not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBpKssEm21k&ab_channel=LunarGaming

[warm bone]

https://tenor.com/view/alexander-the-iron-fist-gif-23968651

wrong gif sorry but that's him

[lone lichen]

i'm not sure i follow
the intent isn't for the host to avoid the invader, it's for the invader to be forced to chase after the host

[kind dove]

thats a fucking pot

[coarse leaf]

Yeah

[serene chasm]

Yeah. He does seem cool

[coarse leaf]

I hope there are pot mimics

[lone lichen]

iirc there are hostile pot enemies

[coarse leaf]

A tempting roll through pots, surprise fuckface

[warm bone]

[coarse leaf]

Stop breaking shit

[gilded adder]

I hope he has a questline and that it's good.

[coarse leaf]

It will be

[warm bone]

from the 6 hours of gameplay, he does

[gilded adder]

Oh, we have information on that?

[coarse leaf]

Hush

[lone lichen]

i'd have considered it a safe assumption that alexander had a questline regardless

[warm bone]

yeah, it's revealed that he does have a questline, I am not sure on the details but he does have one

[gilded adder]

pogu

[coarse leaf]

I’ve only watched vati’s video

[gilded adder]

I've watched bits and pieces of stuff but don't really know anything past the Network Test

[coarse leaf]

Same

[lone lichen]

i know most of what's been said but i've actively been seeking out information about class and equipment stats

[gilded adder]

I plan to hopefully go into the game blind. I never played the Network Test so even my knowledge of that stuff is limited.

[lone lichen]

sadly there hasn't been much outside of the starting class stats revealed

[lone lichen]

from the sound of it a lot of the stuff that appeared in the network test has been altered in some way, e.g. certain items in the network test have been replaced by completely different ones

[serene chasm]

system requirements when

[coarse leaf]

silksong is 4 weeks away! I can't believe it!

[warm bone]

and the ui's been updated 👀

[gilded adder]

soon™️

[gilded adder]

Very excited to see the new UI. I thought the previous one was a bit lacking.

[lone lichen]

i didn't mind the network test ui, but the changes should add a bit more flavor

[serene chasm]

good UIs are under appreciated

[coarse leaf]

True

[gilded adder]

under iappreciated

[warm bone]

the one in the network test was not bad but it could definitely use something

[serene chasm]

Is there a picture of the new vs old?

[lone lichen]

the network test one was effective but didn't have any sort of frills

[gilded adder]

We don't know what the new one looks like

[coarse leaf]

Gold trimmed apparently

[slate blaze]

Coral guardian?
Does anyone.

[serene chasm]

oh. then why are you all excited about it?

[tawdry valley]

We do. People have been posting lots of footage

[warm bone]

I remember there was an artist's interpretation but I can't remember where it was

[coarse leaf]

Ok I’m off

[lone lichen]

i saw a mockup but i didn't think any of the b-roll the journos got had the ui in it

[warm bone]

it's been described to be very cool

[tawdry valley]

Literally 4k videos of boss fights already. Lotta spoklers but hey it's some nice info

[serene chasm]

Its all comic sans

[warm bone]

:sansmaster:

[lone lichen]

there shouldn't be any footage of bosses that weren't in the network test or official trailers afaik

[tawdry valley]

They handed the game out to a few content creators and news sites and let them play and show anything they could find in 6 hours

[lone lichen]

i watched several of those videos, they all used sample footage provided by fromsoft/bamco and i never saw the new ui

[warm bone]

no they could not capture their own footage

they were supplied b-roll footage by bandi

[lone lichen]

the most interesting thing in the b-roll was the bloodstain of a guy dual-wielding greatshields

[warm bone]

that was a developer too

and so was the message "jumping off!"

[lone lichen]

||THERE GOES MY HERO||
||WATCH HIM AS HE GOES||

[tawdry valley]

iirc game informer had some pretty heavy shit, but I only know that cause someone said it.

[warm bone]

game informer was a special case as they got 10 hours

[tawdry valley]

didn't know that

[lone lichen]

i think game informer's footage was mostly the same stuff, and the guy who got to play was restricted in where he could go

[gilded adder]

Do we have images of the new HUD?

[tawdry valley]

This vid is a pretty good cover on the build. https://youtu.be/BIA1IlZKYoQ
Allegedly made to be light ok spoiler stuff

[warm bone]

no images

[tawdry valley]

Watched most of it, it's very much mostly meant to be informative

[gilded adder]

Yea, I watched a bit of Vaati's video.

[tawdry valley]

Good stuff all round

[slate blaze]

Man I was reading through the network testing stuff and I thought it was silksong network test
disappointment

[warm bone]

imagine discussing silksong in #sk-discussion

[slate blaze]

Imagine

[gleaming raven]

Happy 3th anniversary silksong 💥💥💥

[slate blaze]

3th

[lone lichen]

yurkey

[gleaming raven]

Yes

[warm bone]

also it's been confirmed that ||this is where you start the game ||

[lone lichen]

this is the only thing i got spoiled on that i actually wish i hadn't been

[sly summit]

gn ppl

silksong is closer than ever

[hybrid dune]

🧍‍♀️ how

[drowsy pike]

Because every day were closer to Silksong duh

[sinful flare]

oh is this the starting area in silksong

[olive bobcat]

Yeah, that's the official Moss Grotto map

[silent meteor]

Elden ring is out?

No offense but I'm gonna be laughin my @ off if it came out with tons of bugs and glitches

[warm bone]

nope

[wheat sail]

its out on the 25th

[proud vale]

Bruh imagine a bloodstains mod for Silksong

also the double great shields is an insane meme

[wheat sail]

mod support for ss

[proud vale]

Well we know Taco is gonna make a hollow point for Silksong

[wheat sail]

whats that

[shell yacht]

[wheat sail]

nevermind

[proud vale]

It’s guns in Silksong

I think a bloodstains mod would be cool but being a 2D game there likely wouldn’t be enough real estate for all the little blood stains

[wheat sail]

would be up to the modder to be skilled

but now just thinking about it mod support like with steam workshop would be rly nice

[cerulean sable]

again depends if her movesets arent a pain to work with

worst part is i cant just slap a gunsprite on hornets body then call it a day because she spins too fucking much and her cloak on the way

[shell yacht]

i mean you could itd look hilarious

[wheat sail]

ye gotta draw it at different angles or something

[cerulean sable]

it would be funny but it would be lame

i had to adjust the gun sprite magazine often because the hands were too far

[shell yacht]

just 2 badly cropped fake png glocks where her hands are

[cerulean sable]

iv just made it look like a magazine grip to compensate

[cerulean sable]

lmfao

safest way is to just replace her normal slash with a revolver shoot

[wheat sail]

wait for crowsorn gun animation

[shell yacht]

[cerulean sable]

crowsworn is exactly the problem

they already took the revolver option

so im just gonna go with a lever action rifle with a bayonet, that way the downward pogo has minimal sprite changes

[chilly spire]

When I first played Hollow Knight I didn't use spells at all, since I wasn't comfortable using more than 3 button in a tight situation.

Hopefully I don't repeat that with the tools in Silksong

[wheat sail]

you might just earn plenty of money to buy a lot of them

[cerulean sable]

my issue with consumables is when theyre super hard to retrieve again

but if its renewable then i can see SS allowing you to use them as a power spike option

[warm bone]

I think I'll go full melee build, like I did for hk

[chilly spire]

My HK playstyle is full melee too, but I think it would be a shame if I don't explore the combat system in Silksong properly

[wheat sail]

would love to try multiple playstyles if they are viable and fun

[cerulean sable]

obligatory given the options players will optimize the fun away

[wheat sail]

if playing fresh without looking up guides n stuff you can make your own build at least

[ocean shuttle]

Go sleeping

[wheat sail]

you already awake

wait how long has it been

[ocean shuttle]

Yes i already slept

[chilly spire]

I never bothered with builds in the main game. Used a generic melee build for Godhome and have only now started experimenting with different builds in Hall of Gods

[wheat sail]

you are right cathy maybe i should sleep

[ocean shuttle]

Maybe?

[split tide]

Nail only is strong enough in HK anyways tbh

[wheat sail]

Maybe

[serene chasm]

Im really bad at experimenting once I find something that works for me

[ocean shuttle]

I am going to attack you if you don’t go sleeping now 🛏️

[lone lichen]

i worry a bit about shell shards as a system
they might make things a bit grindy if you have to regularly gather them to use tools, but if not then they need an additional purpose to be a meaningful inclusion

[split tide]

On my first playthrough I basically went nail-only including p5 and it served me well enough

[serene chasm]

I do hope in SS, that the game will encourage the player to switch out tools/skills/crests

[split tide]

Yeah hopefully

[cerulean sable]

encourage but not force

[elfin swift]

it looks like some tools at least are used for platforming so there's definitely that situational angle

[cerulean sable]

there were people that didnt like how Doom Eternal really pushed you to constantly swap weapons and use your abilities

[split tide]

Part of that would just having them be fairly balanced, and not just having a few dominant options

[wheat sail]

I could take 1 billion cathys

[chilly spire]

It's kind of a shame how much spell heavy builds and nail heavy builds outshine everything else in HK

[split tide]

Which I hope will be addressed in SS

[ocean shuttle]

😳

[lone lichen]

i absolutely love being able to customize my playstyle but being forced into a given option is counter to that and happens constantly in some games

[wheat sail]

Ok I will go to bed

[elfin swift]

frankly i think games are usually better served by polishing a consistent and specific experience than trying to fit in every single weapon customization option under the sun

[wheat sail]

Just that my status will look like it says im online

[serene chasm]

of course. never force, no one likes being forced to do things. you should be able to beat the game tool-less IMO. But say a certain area has lots of flying enemies, you probably arent going to want to use the sawblade tool.

[lone lichen]

the customization a game offers has to be meaningful

[split tide]

I myself just want more options to be viable

[elfin swift]

elden ring's approach seems really interesting

[lone lichen]

having a hundred options which are just number tweaks is meaningless

[elfin swift]

yea defs

[ocean shuttle]

I am going to force kirby to sleep

[chilly spire]

How do you all feel about HK's charm system in that regard?

[split tide]

Like technically HK has a lot of customization options with charms, it’s just that the usual 5-6 charms outclass everything so much

[serene chasm]

wonder if we can pogo the pimpillo explosion

[spice plume]

I disagree. Once you get pretty mid-endgame in hollowknight you often run from enemies all the time, or ignore them entirely. The shard system will probably prevent that, which I feel is better.

[ocean shuttle]

Pimpillo

[chilly spire]

Do we even have pogo in Silksong?

[elfin swift]

charms play best early game, when the options are both more limited and the advantage they give is more significant cause you're so weak

[lone lichen]

yeah hk charms have a lot of "this is a very cool effect" keeps running ss/qs/strength

[ocean shuttle]

For sure

[split tide]

Stuff like spore shroom and baldur feel very lacklustre compared to the usual strength/quickslash/shaman

[elfin swift]

mid/late game there ends up being a few very very specific charms you'll have found by then that make all the other stuff obsolete

[lone lichen]

sorta, it's a diagonal down attack based on one of her moves as a boss

[split tide]

Not to mention the weird spacing of some charms

[serene chasm]

Charms were ok. the system was very basic, but I didnt hate them. It was just there are only a few really good setups and the rest are throwaways

[split tide]

E.g. you can’t get womb until cdash for all intents and purposes, but you can get shaman right after dash on a first playthrough

[lone lichen]

i know baldur shell has applications in mods but in-game you're better off running something else

[split tide]

Similarly for dreamshield

Baldur has exactly one use in mods, and that’s to help with a bullshit boss

[lone lichen]

at the same time you don't want players to be forced to fight enemies they've already fought a hundred times just to use part of their moveset

[serene chasm]

HK had rain, do you think SS will have rain as well? or maybe so other kind of precipitation

[split tide]

lava counts

[spice plume]

That’s a good point. I hope tc finds a good balance, because being too grindy or too easy would be bad.

[chilly spire]

I made a mistake watching the showcase of Silksong's gameplay. Now I'm impatient to try out the mechanics myself

[harsh forum]

Maybe there will be lava rain

[wheat sail]

Maybe we can fight satan

isaac reference

[wheat sail]

[warm bone]

my Iphone background is a close up pic of my face

[serene chasm]

good knight kirbstar

[uncut citrus]

Good knight

[harsh forum]

Since this is the ss discussion chat, how sure is everyone, on a 1 - 100 scale, that silksong is gonna come out in the next 4 years?

[warm bone]

elden ring

[lone lichen]

next 4 years? over 99% sure

[serene chasm]

100

[uncut citrus]

Yeah 100, maybe 99% cause your never 100% sure but yeah

[harsh forum]

Personally, I’m 75/90% sure

[serene chasm]

99.9% sure

[harsh forum]

Sometimes games take a really long time

[warm bone]

or just the average amount of time to make a game, which silksong is not at yet

[uncut citrus]

Do you really believe they would take another 4years? 3 years is totally normal considering the circumstances, 7 would be way too much, TC works really fast

[serene chasm]

[harsh forum]

This is my mindset

[harsh forum]

Refer to above

[lone lichen]

my current coping strategy is believing that we've gone over a year without any major news because tc knows they're close and don't want to make people wait longer for the game itself because they took the time to organize a proper status update

[harsh forum]

👏

[hushed wasp]

is graymoor gonna be that really big area

[uncut citrus]

Well TC took less than 7years on HK, while having a lot of additional issues like money or changing coding engine mid thing

[lone lichen]

as long as elden ring fixes some of the bigger issues with ds3 i'll be able to keep myself busy for a while

[hushed wasp]

Also wasnt there like a forest area? can someone send a screenshot of that?

[uncut citrus]

Yeah

[gilded adder]

TC said that Greymoor was one of the biggest areas they've created.

[lone lichen]

the plan is
survive until elden ring release -> wait 2-3 days just to be sure there's nothing absolutely broken -> play elden ring -> do elden ring co-op/invasions until i have something else to keep me busy

[spice plume]

I hold that it’ll be like deep nest, but others disagree

[harsh forum]

True, but the scope of the game is, I think, gonna be a lot biggerthen hollow knight was, and knowing tc, they are gonna flesh out every inch of the world they’re building. So, I’m just mentally preparing for the potential amount of years more waiting

[hushed wasp]

if its a massive deepnest area im deleting and refunding the game

[gilded adder]

From said they've already been working on a Day 1 patch so the game should be good to go from the start mostly.

[harsh forum]

that would be awful

[lone lichen]

i think they mean in terms of size, not in terms of spider hell

[hushed wasp]

ah.

[harsh forum]

What’s elden ring

[hushed wasp]

^

[random fox]

New mario party game.

[serene chasm]

Dark Souls 4

[lone lichen]

I DOUBT YOU COULD EVEN IMAGINE IT

[random fox]

The dark souls of open world games

[harsh forum]

I’m serious, I haven’t heard of it

[hushed wasp]

ive never played dark souls

[spice plume]

nah I still think it could be hell. We saw graves all throughout it, so just imagine the possible things that could jump out. Maybe zombies?

[gilded adder]

Latest game from From Software, makers of Dark Souls franchise and similar games.

[hushed wasp]

thatd be very lame

[spice plume]

I hope they do something special with it lore wise

[harsh forum]

That sounds… well, I haven’t beaten 2bc in dead cells yet, so it doesn’t sound like the game for me

[spice plume]

Cuz a massive graveyard needs a reason to be that big, right?

[hushed wasp]

people die

[gilded adder]

We already know some enemies that will be in Greymoor

[lone lichen]

to explain, "i doubt you could even imagine it" is the first line of the game's initial reveal trailer

[spice plume]

Oh yeah those weird birds and the scissor dude

[serene chasm]

Hornet is that reason

[harsh forum]

Well, it still holds true

[harsh forum]

I’m not really that good of a gamer

[digital mural]

It’s Valentine’s Day which means Silksong!

[white panther]

happy clowns day to everyone

[hushed wasp]

show

[shy stag]

still have 24th left

[cerulean sable]

they should chunk areas into small subareas

[warm bone]

https://strawpoll.com/drvz1zok8 curious

[cerulean sable]

that way it doesnt feel too "samey" if it is larger

[chilly spire]

I am really glad the regular enemies in HK aren't very dangerous since I plan to do Steel Soul, but I'm looking forward to facing harder ones in Silksong

[uncut citrus]

Yeah I’m gonna enjoy hard enemies so much

[hushed wasp]

im not, theyre gonna ruin my silk soul runs

[lone lichen]

i'm honestly hoping silk soul isn't permadeath

[uncut citrus]

Just giving some of them shield is enough to make them way harder, giving them smaller windows to hit em, making them able to parry some tools from a distance so you can’t easily cheese them (like Lace does)

[spice plume]

Someone should make an ultimate steel soul where you can’t regen health, meaning that lifeblood is ur best friend

[warm bone]

glass soul

[harsh forum]

Is silk soul official, or?

[uncut citrus]

Assuming silk soul is gonna be perma-death

[hushed wasp]

yes

Wait silk soul is actually official?

[random fox]

Always has been

[lone lichen]

it's known to exist, but exactly what it is beyond being the successor to steel soul is unknown

[lone lichen]

silk soul was announced in a companion video on tc's channel on the same day the game was revealed

[uncut citrus]

We know they want to make it more than steel soul

[hushed wasp]

steel soul is lame as fuck btw. just permadeath and nothing else really changes

[harsh forum]

Doesn’t that meme end with the sussy impasta shooting the crewmate?

[coarse leaf]

I hope silksoul enemies will do twice the damage

[harsh forum]

Tok’s dead

[hushed wasp]

i hope we get new unique silksoul enemies

[uncut citrus]

Bird

[random fox]

Ok just make it titanium instead of steel then

[hushed wasp]

i know

[left basin]

We havent seen 3 mask so that would be cool

[hushed wasp]

those are some cool looking enemies

[harsh forum]

It’s like the only difference

[left basin]

Also y ello

[uncut citrus]

We did thought

[hushed wasp]

also steel soul jinn

[random fox]

U got the ring scenario but they arent amogus guys

[left basin]

Explain plz?

[harsh forum]

Oh ya

[lone lichen]

could probably do some changes to boss patterns/attacks to make them more dangerous

[hushed wasp]

steel silk

[serene chasm]

why so tiny Jonny?

[harsh forum]

That’s the version of the meme I saw

[spice plume]

I think the birds could actually be wee old or something. Maybe mosquito’s?

[hushed wasp]

i like the fact that all enemies are birds

[harsh forum]

Void birds

[gilded adder]

Couldn't find an image with better resolution, my bad.

[serene chasm]

all good

[lone lichen]

nothing too fancy, but something like making every silk soul boss the equivalent of stuff like soul tyrant/lost kin/etc

[hushed wasp]

Ok but is there gonna be a forest place or not

[coarse leaf]

What was greymoor enemies special ability?

I swear I heard something about it

[serene chasm]

depression

[uncut citrus]

3 mask hit from lace at the end, pulls you in for 1 mask, deals you 1 while hitting you mid air then throws you against the ground for 1 last one, for a total of 3, Lace ain’t going easy on us

[hushed wasp]

i swear i saw a forest area somewhere but i cant remember

[left basin]

Oh yeah i saw that o thought it was a bug or something thats scary shit

[serene chasm]

Area Focus: Greymoor

As Hornet ascends from the foundations of Pharloom towards the citadel at its crest, she may pass through the wasted caverns of Greymoor. The misted fields and dilapidated towers are now infested with Crawbugs, devious nesting types, and the former tenders of the land have become haunted. In the pens at this land’s height, keepers wrangle swarms of Dustroaches, rapid-breeding pests with insatiable appetites.

Greymoor is a huge area, one of the biggest we’ve ever created. Within its caves and structures Hornet will uncover many mysteries, make several new friends and duel with a lethal, lunging foe.

[gilded adder]

Moss Grotto

[young saffron]

first time seeing this image

[hushed wasp]

No, like actual trees

[serene chasm]

I think they mean coral forest

[left basin]

Just brrrrrr 3 mask gone

[hushed wasp]

No, trees

It was in a greymoorish area

[uncut citrus]

It’s from the trailer?

[lone lichen]

that's a screenshot from the reveal trailer iirc

[hushed wasp]

Did i dream this? am i going insane?

[cosmic widget]

Love all the little details in the art

[harsh forum]

#teamtrees

[serene chasm]

This place?

[hushed wasp]

YES! thanks for confirming sanity

[gilded adder]

Those are staligtites

Not trees lol

[hushed wasp]

thats my favorite area so far

[left basin]

You dont have one

[serene chasm]

I think theyre roots

[lone lichen]

staligtites

[coarse leaf]

Underhang

[hushed wasp]

i misrembered

[wary copper]

look like trees, might as well be

[harsh forum]

#teamtrees

[uncut citrus]

The wierd things coming out of them makes it look more like roots

[left basin]

Its all a lie

[hushed wasp]

but yeah thats def my favorite area so far

[gilded adder]

Could be

[uncut citrus]

Which would mean actual forest area???

[random fox]

Dude on the left looks like he will come to u to sell u his special cookies

[lone lichen]

gonna dream nail him

[uncut citrus]

[hushed wasp]

i wonder if we get a dreamnail in silksong

[wary copper]

are the cookies safe to eat?

[random fox]

Of course

[hushed wasp]

dreamneedle

[uncut citrus]

Well not a literal dreamnail

[wary copper]

are you lying to me, do i look dense to you

[random fox]

Yes

[uncut citrus]

Why not? Cause I say so.

[hushed wasp]

obviously not

[lone lichen]

needolin probably fills a similar role to dream nail

[harsh forum]

Which are infused with performance enhancing drugs, otherwise known as speed

[lone lichen]

if i were to guess

[ocean shuttle]

Reevers!!!!

[random fox]

Steroids.

[hushed wasp]

maybe something like a dreamcatcher

[wary copper]

oh, hello cathy

[hushed wasp]

hello cathy newman

[serene chasm]

nah. The moths are gone, and the dream nail seems like a one off thing. Hornets Needolin will probably be the equivalent for SS

[uncut citrus]

Yeah I- oh well Cathy’s here I’m goin—

[harsh forum]

Yes, but

[wary copper]

are you still in kill mood

[hushed wasp]

what is a Needolin

[coarse leaf]

Wybie you know what time it is?

[ocean shuttle]

NOOOO STAY 😳
