They should keep the teleporting bonfires. Those are the best thing in the game.

SunlightBlade is a very popular youtuber who does top 10 videos for Souls/borne PvP.
Peeve Peeverson (took me a long time to realize that it's a play on words: Pee ve pee, as in PvP) is a streamer and youtuber who focuses primarily on PvP.
The third one I don't know.

Third one (JKartje) is the Bamco community manager.
Can't imagine it's cheap to fly to Germany.
I hope this takes a lot of inspiration from Bloodborne. Then again,DS fans probably wouldn't like that too much
They said the movement has taken inspiration which I'm fine with. Bows are also quicker and viable now. No guns etc. which is good.

Um, yeah. Would like the game to have the variety of weapons, armor and items that the Souls games are known for.
This -- I hate soul memory, seriously, it fucking ruins the game for me because I like to sit around sometimes and do things in repetition (such as white phantom at bosses) for the hell of it, so my SM over a while gets inflated and I don't see people anymore because I do these activities more than most.

In certain ways, sure, and I'm sure some stuff they learned making BB will be applied to DS3 -- But in general, please, no, I don't want DS3 to be Bloodborne. Bloodborne was an extremely streamlined game with so little to find in the ways of gear or spells and every character is more or less the same. No thanks to that. I want my depth and variety back.
I'd also like it not to have shit pvp and convenants.
I think fhey actually put effort into the dark souls 2 versions but I never maxed them out because I hate that game.

Well, it's impossible for the pvp to not be shit in a game like this.
The covenants were ok imo in DS2, but they could be better for sure.

I hope the game allows you to regain your health if you attack the enemy right after taking damage. It incentivizes players to be more offensive, and that's a good thing.

I imagine that is a mechanic they will leave with Bloodborne. Dark Souls has, generally speaking (various builds aside) been slower and more strategic in it's combat.

As much as I like that mechanic, I think that's the sort of thing that should stay in Bloodborne to differentiate the two series. Plus it was there to help compensate for lack of shield

I still can't believe this is a Miyazaki joint. He was working on two distinctly flavored major Souls projects at the same time, without compromising the quality of one (and likely both). What a legend
Count me among the people who would like Bloodborne and Dark Souls to each maintain their separate and unique qualities. I do not want BB in DS and vice versa. Certain traits obviously they have to share because that was the point of BB to an extent, but BB's combat and design choice made it unique enough to stand on its own. Chalice Dungeons, transforming weapons, Insight - all of these things were great and things I do not want to see in DS.
As to Soul Memory, it's a solution for a real problem that just didn't quite work out. What needs to be implemented is some form of internal item and player level. You could simply do it the BB way, and remove completely item dropping. Soul Memory then doesn't become a problem because people - outside of content skipping - are limited to what they can get on their own characters.

Covenants in Dark Souls II is really good, it's just if you get above a certain soul level or it's really dropped off player count wise, it's hard to find players for the covenant requirements.
I somewhat hope they won't have spells/miracles/pyromancies/hexes/etc. be dependent on covenant levels. Or if they are there, there's an alternative way of obtaining them.
