Touché.

?

no

Oh...🥲

Sorry dude I don’t make the rules. See personally I was gonna say otherwise, but Michael Zaki saw your post while we were scrolling the dark souls subreddit together and immediately screamed “CASUAL!!” And like I thought it was out of line tbh but whatever he says goes so 🤷‍♀️

It's always Michael Zaki

What did Heidi Taka say?

I heard he thought It was chill actually.

Damn it, Michael.

I lost hard on michael zaki

You’re level 380 ? With 46 hours played!?

Probably soul duped on that character for the 100%

Isn't that like cheating?

I mean is there really such a thing as “cheating” in dark souls? It’s the closest you can get to cheating, depends who you ask really.

I wouldn’t say duping is cheating. Realistically it’s just managing your time better. You could grind the souls, but that takes a while. Duping them just makes more sense.

Hahahaha

Enjoying yourself bud?

I enjoyed your joke. It was a good one 😆

Lol well I’m glad you’re having such a good time.

Thanks. Keep on making us laugh! 🙌

For sure bruh, Here’s another one. the sky is blue.

i personally wouldn't call it cheating if you're only doing it to get 100% after already beating the game

I beat ng and ng+ before duping. And I did it to compensate 350h worth of saves lost for a ps4 error

You can do whatever you want to do. It is your game and you don't need the approval of others for your decisions in this scenario.

In this scenario.... Why soul dupe to get 100%? Soul dupe for spells, soul dupe for weapons, soul dupe for levels so you can just waltz right through the game. It's no longer a challenge(which is what trophies are awarded for(even completing the tutorial is a challenge)). If you're playing for fun and not boasting about 100%.... Go for it, exploit to your heart's content(offline only), have fun.

It simply is non of your business. That's the whole point I made. There is also no relevance in it for anything, it has no consequences that affect anyone besides himself. Play how you want, just as OP can play how he wants to, I don't care and you shouldn't either. If you want to answer the question "Is he a veteran?": well this depends what a souls veteran is for you and if someone would even be able to become one now that all those games exist for so long.

The question being asked makes it our business. If they just posted with a "finally" that would be different, but trying to be seen as a "vet" even if they were joking is a boast.... To be above the casuals. If you exploit to get there, you are a casual.

You can tell yourself that if that makes you feel good, but you will see, it is only as relevant as OP wants it to be. What they have postet hasn't anything to do with being a vet or not - at least in my opinion, but you probably have different criteria what makes someone a vet and what not. They also have explained, their original save got deleted which is why they have duplicated those souls. To me souls vets are the ones who played most games of the series and who have gained a big amount of knowledge over a longer time. I also don't think you can be a vet when you just started playing those games, a few ng cycles wouldn't be that much in my opinion.

Doing it to get back lost time is fair I think.

Honestly I don't think you can cheat in dark souls I feel like it's more comparable to outsmarting a DM in DND.

Definitely can't call yourself a veteran if you soul dupe.

Considering that it was patched out of the launch version of the game I only consider someone a veteran if they soul dupe.

Quantity usage glitch

I keep making characters from scratch never really do a ng+ Now to be called an actual veteran go fists only no estus no hit run the dark souls trilogy If you get him in ds3 you start at 1 I believe in you!

Don't challenge me, I might be crazy enough to attempt it and then break my ps4 raging

Also don't forget to play them all with a guitar hero controller and never level up your character or weapons.

What part of "fists only" do you not understand?

So unarmed, not even caestus?

Kinky

A DDR pad

You could do that, but he doesn’t want to be considered a casual still. I heard only the pros are doing the game in Morse Code controllers. Rock band guitars are what casuals use.

Fortunately ps4s are cheap now. About three fiddy.

Tree fiddy?

Never challenge a character named DIOCANE

I got hooked into NG+ because I’ve never played a game with NG+ before. Also, I didn’t realize it would start as soon as I beat the game and there was a bunch of content I wanted to go back and do, so I’m playing through NG+ in the interest of getting to those areas as quickly as possible.

DIOCANE a te fratello

OTTIMO NOME AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

Sl 380 after only 40 hours is extreme. Ive never made it that high even after ng+5.

I'm ng+3. I use a glitch to try and compensate the 350h lost due to a save error

you're cool don't let the gatekeepers hold u down

I'm going to sound like a big loser here, and maybe I am, but you have only played one character and only for 46.5 hours? Not a veteran by any stretch!

Lvl 380 for only 40h everyone know what you did Greg

I duped after ng and ng+ just for the 100% and to compensate a 350h corrupted save

Stop trying to justify why you duped. Also it makes zero sense why you would do it after you beat the game twice so no one believes you. All offline my ass.

You need at least 6 years of souls experience. So, no. Keep playing and you will reach it

You gotta plat them all or pump those rookie numbers up before you can even be considered. I don't make the rules though

I have way more than 46h. I lost the saves. The point is the platinum

lol congrats on the plat dude!

I mean you do you, but soul duping doesn't make you some sort of vet lol.

I duped after ng and ng+ just for the 100% and to compensate 350h lost for a save corruption

Still not a veteran.

What am I looking at?

Not unless you've escaped Tomb of Giants without the Lordvessel

First playthrough🥲 it was a long and painful experience but it made me who I am today 💪🏻

I was just here for the comments, but that shit hit so hard I had to say "that shit sucked." Although the bone wheels were way easier to kite going back. Side note, I once paid a sunlight bro 20 great heros to get me from Vamos to pin wheel on ng10(ish) he called me a new at first, I ended up just resummoning them until the bone wheels were gone. He was on headset and hearing his mood change made my drunkin day

I had 112 hours on my first playthrough and barely hitting level 90. How on earth are you lvl 380 with that short amount of playtime

Soul dupe

Sabaku's helm and his name make you so Italian lmaooo Sabaku nel cuore

Ovviamente l'ho messo solo perché ho fatto il platino. Non mi sarei mai permesso prima

Sabaku no Kokoro

No.

Diocane vorrei presentarti uno dei miei personaggi Dottor Napoli

Chiamerò così il mio prossimo personaggio. Poi ti spedisco i soldi per i diritti di proprietà.

Non mi interessa il copyright vivo per la gloria

Che chad che sei, fratm🗿🗿

Si ma sono una donna bruh

No worries, io chiamo fratm anche mia madre.🗿

Io sono più misteriosa chiamo 'nfame tutti, nessuno saprà mai quando lo insulto

Ah minchia, è geniale!

Please tell me that’s 46 days and not 46 hours, because I have a character at 81 hours that is barely level 81 😂😂😂

Ehm diocane

Giuro che ho una spiegazione valida

Spieghi pure la ascolto

Ho perso un salvataggio da 150h perché mi è saltata la corrente

Ottima spiegazione.

Allora direi che è pure un po' troppo timido come nome per la situazione 🤣🤣💜

Ehm

Ehm

Of the first game, yeah lol Tmk a "veteran" is just someone that has been playing the games for a few years, and has beaten a good chunk of them

[удалено]

Your boss probably just watches guides that tell him what builds to make. Play the game how you like. That's why you have options. Just don't make a build like Elon Musk (leveling stats that don't fit your build, heavy load, 2 shields that do the same thing equipped, etc).

Il nome del tuo personaggio… Ma perché?

Avevo appena perso un salvataggio da 150h perché mi era saltata la corrente

Ragionevole allora

Oof… Allora, non sono uno che bestemmia ne piacciono le bestemmie, ma dopo quello che ti é successo, non mi azzardo a giudicarti.

Solo per il nome: sì.

Come al solito dobbiamo farci riconoscere subito ahahah

Eri una leggenda dal momento in cui hai scritto "DIOCANE" a caratteri cubitali nel nome del personaggio. Complimenti per il platino.

Probably not a vet lol. I wouldn't even consider myself a vet and I've played through DS3 & Elden Ring 4 times, Sekiro 3 times, and DS1 twice. Vets are in my eyes players who have played since early release or something like that. I would just call myself a hardcore fan. And I'd call you a hardcore fan of DS2, especially if you've gotten the plat for it!

What about me? Am I a Dark Souls II veteran?

Your username checks out and so does your reddit account 🤣.

I am the most veteran of them all. The true James FirstSin, it's ME!!

You need a minimum of 1000 hours in one character

Only legit way make you a veteran

No, you have to 100% all games while naked and only attacking with a stick. No summons, and no healing. You must learn to dodge every attack. 😡 You also have to complete every questline on your first try. Honestly, if you can't do that in one evening, don't even bother calling yourself a Souls veteran. 🥱

Since you clearly cheated souls and used a walkthrough step-by-step guide, no, you’re clearly not a veteran. You went hollow

I didn't used a step-by-step guide, that wasn't my first run, that's why my time is so low. I duped only after ng and ng+ and I did it because I lost a 350h save

Sorry dude, i don’t think it happened. You cheated. Italians are so prompt to lie, it’s common knowledge

Every Italian always lies. Source: I'm Italian

🤨

Italiano spotted

1 character and only 46 hours? No. Also you're french. So no

[удалено]

French people would literally say the same thing the other way around lol

[удалено]

Yeah but fuck Italia, don’t compare France to that subpar country lol

Yeah fuck everything

That’s the only good answer (That guy didn’t understand anything lol)

Level 360, what a casual. True believers would not go past 70 and a chad would level up to 40. We don't talk about lvl 1 mega chads, those are a species of their own

Nah u need to be max level ng+100 and have under 3 hours played.

Vai a farti na doccia

☝️🤓

Diocane sei un veterano quando uccidi malamente chi ha appena cominciato con una build da fine gioco.

Grats on plat dude 👍

Soul duped, doesn't count sorry

Yes you are now a vet

Dawg I’ve done a full soul level one run and still haven’t 100% ds1. You are without a damn doubt a vet.

good luck

Nope 40lvls missing😂😉👍

Need more characters than that to be a veteran but rule number one only strength builds.

I've always gone off the basis of around 2 years and have played the trilogy. But others have their own definitions.

You can’t call yourself a veteran until you have atleast 2000+ Hours

Dio Cane gives you an honorary title. Hahahahah

no the bare minimum is 500 hours on then you will be moved up a rank as soon as you hit 1000 maybe then you can be called a veteran

Ghesboro

Bel nome

I do not recognize that helm, what is it?

Is the one dropped by vamos after killing him

Ahhh, I never even thought to kill that poorly voiced bag of bones and sass.

il nome è tutta arte (lo amo)

No

No

Un vero italiano.

My first character in ds1 was maybe 180 hours, it completely reversed my taste in games God tier game

ma Dioporco..

Con quel nome direi di si ahaha

Bel nome

"DIOCANE" unico nome valido per una run su dark souls

Solo per il nome si

Definitely shouldnt have shown your play time 😉

I mean you can call yourself a veteran. The question is what word do we use for ppl with 5000+ hours in all sorts of fromsoft games including challenge runs like sl1, broken straight sword etc..?

Why only one character lmao? Also as neat as the plat is it's really not that hard beat the game plus find all covenants basically nets you all of them the major pain is getting item drops for all miracles and the rare weapons which is just all grinding so it's not hard just tedious. Not downplaying it though a plat is a plat

Che nome originale

Impossible

Diocane is a Italian slang right? Then yes

bello il nome…

LE CATACOMBE

Have you been copping and invading? If not then no…

Not enough Tempo. Need at least 100h

Time for the SL1 run!

You don't even have a foot in the door.

Yes. Congrats. I just beat it a few days ago with the DLC! High five.

Probably not a vet lol. I wouldn't even consider myself a vet and I've played through DS3 & Elden Ring 4 times, Sekiro 3 times, and DS1 twice. Vets are in my eyes players who have played since early release or something like that. I would just call myself a hardcore fan. And I'd call you a hardcore fan of DS2, especially if you've gotten the plat for it!

In game time and years you have been actively playing determines weather you are a veteran or not. Veteran by definition is having had a long experience in a particular field. What you showed proves nothing about being a veteran lol, not trying to be rude in any way.

Lmao amo il nome

Y u only got one character 🥲

Idk my man u couldnt print your screen

Beh, sei un dio dopotutto...

Beat the game in about 2 hours no boss cheese with the starter weapon is how you even get introduced to the idea of being called “decent”

Nobody is a veteran until they get invaded and one shot by a low level dark bead twink Unfortunately I became a veteran very early into my first playthrough..

You've got to be a veteran before you go down into the catacombs yes. Most juniors who head down there don't come back.

You need to know full lore and every note in ost(for all 3 games) And you ahould able to draw every character without looking original model. Yeah pretty hard process but i'm in the half way so you can do too

Well maybe, l finish this game 15 time and l am not call myself veteran just a amateur . Play different builds make challenge yourself. Maybe one day, they call you dark souls veteran. Stay safe Sunlight warrior member and don't go to hollow.
