drat i really love the Belltower mechanic. Killed two Bell defenders (the second one just chilled in the stars making "joy" emotes until the first died) and then died to the boss (was not expecting that  ) so i summon a dude up and we climb up the stairs to smash two more defenders and wipe the boss out. I then spent some time throwing down signs and helping people against the invaders, fun times.Also, i don't know if they were goons or not, but i want to give a shout out to whoever was chilling in the Black Gulch and helped me out of that god forsaken area. Jesus Christ i was hating the neo-Blighttown and then you face that. I've now went into the forest area beyond the gate locked by the petrified women who sells pyromancy, i travelled along and reached a place foggy as hell. I keep seeing messages to destroy some trees but i can't seem to find a way to do it. Any help? edit: also, everyone should seriously play in the rat's playhouse.

Just hug the walls until you find the way out.

So I was sunbroing at The Rotten. We kill him, takes a bit. Then the host gets the bright idea to do Warcry in the lava, killing himself.

IchGestalt posted:After some time, A gravestone should spawn - and you can use it to bring her back (As a ghost?). I think this is the same for all friendly NPC's. Not all of them and, in the Herald's case, not entirely true in her case. You have to pay a modest amount to revive her each time you want to chat her up for whatever reason, while the other spooky ghosts stick around. You've gone and given yourself quite a bit of sin, though, so have fun getting invaded a bunch.

Holy gently caress, so I've been screwing around with MotionJoy all day trying to get my original gamepad as well as my PS3 controller to work. I downloaded something called "Better DS3" and it just loving worked immediately. No creepy Chinese browser-based bullshit constantly polling home like MotionJoy, just a simple interface that immediately worked with no fuss. gently caress MotionJoy Forever

I really don't care for bosses that suddenly start using new attacks or longer/faster combos once they get low on health. They should just start with all their attacks, then they would be a better boss, like Artorias.

Uh, so I went through the portcullis by Pate and got killed by the hollows in the hallway because I D-Padded wrong trying to heal. Now after reviving at the bonfire I go back and the portcullis is still closed--Pate gave me the White Soapstone. Is there a way to get back through to get the treasure and my bloodstain or am I hosed?

I've met maybe 4 blue sentinels trying to kill me and managed 16~ blue invasions of my own. It's weird, blue orbs seem kinda limited to the zone you are in but I have also invaded into the Dragon Shrine & Amana Shrine despite never going there myself. They really should just let it be global instead of whatever janky system they have going right now, it's hard enough to find sinners without also requiring that you be in the same zone as them.

After having a bit of a sad moment when I had to dismiss a helpful bro in Sinner's Rise because Lucatiel decided to fall into some water, joy returned when I went back to the bonfire and discovered the sign of someone with the name BATTLE DAD. He did not disappoint.  electrohead posted:Uh, so I went through the portcullis by Pate and got killed by the hollows in the hallway because I D-Padded wrong trying to heal.

Got invaded for the first time last night by someone who was playing legitimately and who proceeded to legitimately lose against me. Makes a nice change from Dark Souls 1 where all the invaders I had were either hacking or twinking.

Now that duels are actually happening I don't feel so bad about the cracked red eye limitations. It's still really lovely that red phantoms have a ton of nuisance taxes that other phantoms don't but actually getting the orbs in NG isn't that bad.

I've discovered the light and joined the Bellbro covenant. Holy poo poo, is that poo poo fun. Well, other than when they pre-summon a gold phantom and wait for you to zone in. That's some bullshit.  I'm half-tempted to leave a white sign at the entrance and then do nothing when the invaders show up to kill the host. I was working for the bell tower all along!

That's some bullshit. No rules in the belltower, amigo! Pull all the dirty tricks ya feel, 'cause the other side is most certainly going to also! My favorite is to hide on the inner side of the rooftop since a ton of the belltower guys like to camp up there once they see the host sitting on the ground floor. Then I just give 'em the friendly Zweihander to the back and welp!

I wish the PC had ragemail, because it's so hilariously unfair for the person forced to fight my rats, while I tossed zero effort soul arrows at them. At least I usually stay at ground level and give them a little hope. Means they're more aggressive and die faster to try and kill me. All the areas are optional at least.

Cardboard Box posted:there's still a lot of hackers but I've had a much better time finding people playing fair than I ever did in the first game. PvP is actually fun in this game!! Additionally you could use the book of the guilty, just randomly browse starting at the top 500th or whatever. An overwhelming majority of the high indictment players were stat hacked. Basically, the stat hacking in DS1 was incredibly rampant and the odd infinite health hacker was a rare nuance at most. *In DS1, the damage numbers you see are after resists, in other words the damage you dealt to their health. So you can have a pretty good idea how much health they had before the killing blow landed. When a player has 25+% health after taking 1500 dmg you know they have 99 VIT + FAP ring. Some stat hackers were really obvious, like fast-rolling in full giants armor and popping mulitple divine blessings, others tried to be subtle.

What annoys me about the ratmen is how clever they think they are, hiding on the second level of the Doors of Pharros rapezone with all the locks opened. Like I'm actually going to go running into trap hell to kill them. No thanks, there's this nice little cavern on the ground floor with no enemies. I'll just hang out there until you come down to play. I have a book, I can wait. You summoned me, you can come try to kill me. Also, I killed your King. He whined a bit, then said "I'm gonna make you pay!" and then stood shock-still while I finished him off. All talk, no walk.
