Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

The default keybindings are hilariously bad- primary attack is right-click and vice versa, power attacks are double-click. I'm pretty sure literally every single command in the game is bound to both mouse and keyboard :psyduck:

This means your right hand is RMB and left hand is LMB? Makes perfect sense considering the console controls.

For anyone who hasn't picked this up yet and missed the Easter sale (J4XXU2-JTFTLL-8ENDXZ) gets you 25% on Dark Souls 2 on Greenmangaming. I got my code immediately after paying.

From here: http://blog.playfire.com/2014/04/dark-souls-ii-25-off-on-gmg.html

You sir, have tipped my hand at buying this game and am installing it as we speak. I'm hoping that since it's still in pre-order mode that I'll get those weapons for pre-ordering, even if they aren't all that good.

How does mouse+keyboard play after rebinding things? Flows well during combat or stuck with awkward combinations to fit all the commands in? How many mouse buttons do you have bound?

Quick question as I've never pre-loaded before. Do I have to do anything to unlock it once the time triggers or will steam automatically unlock and decrypt it for me at the right time if it's running?

Sometimes it does. Usually restarting steam forces it to.

It's not that they're bad, it's just that they're designed to be gimmick weapons. The homunculus mace has the longsword moveset when one handed and the flamestone dagger has the heide-knight sword moveset (also when one-handing it) for example. The preorder weapons are just fun little toys to play with if you like certain weapon animations. Plus the transgressor staff is pretty bitchin' early on.

I've never waited on a game to unlock before. The "1 hour remaining" had better mean "some minutes rounded up to an hour" instead of "an hour and some minutes rounded down."

Where it says to get the ring from the tower where the hell is it? I've gone up to the boss on one path and the drawbridge on the other and haven't seen it.

The ring is in the drawbridge area, you probably already got it.

You should be fine, I can get almost a constant 60fps at 1080p with a 660M with some of the graphics settings set to high.

I got my copy of Dark Souls from a contest on these very forums, my inept deaths among jolly goon co-op will be so sweet. Speaking of which, is there now a way to make it more likely to summon people you're actually friends with? Feel like I read that somewhere...

There's a particular ring that can be acquired from the start from a merchant in the hub area. Equip, pick a god, have your friends pick the same god, more likely to see their summon sign.

By the way: What god are goons going with?
