Oh, hey, I finally found the wharf everyone's talking about! I don't think it's supposed to look like this though... What the picture doesn't show is everything blinking between pitch black and light up like that every half second.

Though the cave from the bonfire actually looked kinda cool as it was more of blinking between white and grey.

Two favorite were: the dark fortress area where a guy just walked straight down the rampart and ignored the huge chunks of missing path, and the guy who summoned me to help fight the dragon rider only he hadn't put up either rings and only lasted a single slap from the boss.

neetengie posted:It's not just the Mace, it's also the Club, and anything strike related. For Dex centric characters the Magic Mace you find will outdamage your other weapons. Are there any strike weapons that are an unambiguous upgrade over the mace besides the giant clubs? Playing around with them it seems like the mace is the best all around one hander and if you're going heavy strength eventually the big silly clubs are better.

When can I find something stronger than the Heide Knight Sword as a dex character? I'm up to the Smelter Demon and I want to change it up but everything I've tried is just significantly weaker even with upgrades.

Pubbies in the Bastille are almost as dangerous as the boss. Please open all the doors and aggro everything at once, I'm sure we can take it.

The club is better because of the A scaling. Both have the same STR requirement, but the DEX requirement is lower.

The Alonne knights drop their blacksteel katana which has S dex scaling after you upgrade it a few times. AParadox posted:Broadsword at risk and I haven't seen a smith yet, and I have no repair consumables as far as I can tell, do I have to indefinitely store it for now? The repair system is different in this game, all of your items' durability is filled back up once you rest at a bonfire. But, if your item actually breaks (ie 0 durability), you have to go to one of the smiths and pay souls to have it repaired. You can also buy repair powder from certain NPCs (limited from the blacksmith, unlimited from the NPC in Drangleic Castle) that will fill up your durability if it's low, but it won't actually repair anything fully broken. the Paper fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Apr 25, 2014 |

It looks like the halberd can attack from behind a shield now, which is great. I don't really have enough endurance to make use of it, though. But it seems they fixed the weird tracking for spear thrusts from the last game. Well, I assume it applies to spears too, I actually haven't found one yet! Also, large club is no longer poop-infused.

Ricard's Rapier can be found at the bottom of the cave in the Copse and has S dex scaling out of the box (I think.) It breaks easy but can do a ton of damage really fast.

Light them at a bonfire (you'll have to toggle the control to do it), light them at another fire source or use flame butterflies to light them yourself. You can't equip them, they just appear when you light them. I just mention that because the pit leads to somewhere incredibly dark and it's a good idea to bring a torch both to not fall to your death and light every single sconce you find down there.

Why do I get the message "Can't burn now" when trying to burn a human effigy? edit: never mind. Figured out that you use them to restore max hp. What's the point in burning something? vvv thanks. PirateBob fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Apr 25, 2014 |

PirateBob posted:Why do I get the message "Can't burn now" when trying to burn a human effigy? You need to use them like a regular item, not burn them. Burning it makes you less likely to be invaded for a bit, which you can't do if you're not online or have killed the area boss. I think.

However, once again I won because the boss hit me and died from my ring of thorns. Murdering Pate is looking less like a bad decision every fight! What was the deal with that grey phantom though? I was summoned into someone elses world as one and had no clue what was going on. So I walk up to the guy thinking I'm a coop partner and then he shoved a lighting spear into my face. EDIT: Oh my god I can worship a Rat King

Burning it makes you less likely to be invaded for a bit, which you can't do if you're not online or have killed the area boss. I think. Burning an effigy cuts off all online interaction in the area for a certain amount of time. This includes friendly stuff like summons. I don't think the area boss is a factor, that's for ascetics. ymgve posted:Why does my max HP go lower and lower? How do I reverse that? You lose a little health every time you die, stopping at 50% max health. You can get a ring that will up the cutoff to 75%. To reverse it, use a human effigy or co-op and don't die (or use life protection items). Kimmalah fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Apr 25, 2014 |

Well dang. I was really pissed when I heard they were taking it out so I quit playing. It was really boring to have to run back to majula to repair the ring everytime I died. Good to know it actually works now though.

Anyone got any early game recommendations for sorceries/pyromancy? You can spoil it if you want, I already beat it on PS3 but I wanted to play a wizard. I'm just using soul arrow and greater soul arrow and it's eh. I found the spell dude in wharf but didn't know what to buy.

You can fully restore your humanity using the small white soapstone, entering someones world, and killing some enemies with them for a bit. You keep all the souls from it and once its done you come back to your world fully human. Its quick and easy, probably the best way to get rid of the health penalty in early areas.
