Bellbros who just stand there while I fight the host and leap off the bridge when the host wins because they were expecting a free chunk

Vintersorg posted:If you need outside scripts and poo poo, it doesn't work. The good majority of people out there wont go hunting for this. Plenty of people don't own a controller and are playing this game just fine, so you're wrong. For people reading this thread or r/darksouls2, the effort level of spending about 3 minutes to download AHK, install it, and copy/paste a premade script is a whole lot lower than either a trip to a store to buy a controller and whatever software needed to make it work in DkS2 or ordering one online and waiting for one. The amount of hate SOME POSTERS have in this thread just because PC players are _using_ KB+M is amazing. A simple AHK script fixes the game. People are enjoying the game, beating the game, and winning in pvp with KB+M, deal with it.

Just found the blue sentinel covenant, but I can't seem to use the cracked orbs anywhere? I'm human, in the covenant and connected to the server but it won't let me use them anywhere, even in places I'm 100% sure are PvP areas. Am I missing something obvious? EDIT: Nevermind, I guess I... can't invade in places where I've beaten the boss? Is that it?

You can't use the orbs in transitional areas. Places that are between fog doors basically. Maybe that was it?

Well, there goes the final boss. Is there more than one ending this time around? Overall, not a bad game by any means but it has a lot of little things that really weigh it down, imo.

Cart Mountain posted:That guy is cool I was helping someone out with the Pursuer some time ago. I was wrecking him with the Demon's Great Hammer, while the host went for the ballista. I think the Pursuer had like 30% HP left after I had been fighting it for like half a minute, and the host lands a shot on me. My dude slumps over with a gigantic piece of wood sticking out of my head. Then the Pursuer destroys the ballista the host was using. I laughed my rear end off so hard. "DON'T WORRY BRO I GOT IT"

I dunno, I can't seem to use it anywhere in Heide's before the second bonfire or anywhere in the Forest, whereas it works immediately past the second Heide's bonfire (EDIT: Apparently technically the first bonfire of No Man's Wharf?) or in the Bastille, which is consistent with it not working in places where I've killed the boss.

Artificer posted:Okay, so if you have a weapon that you barely meet the requirements for, like the Curved Dragon Greatsword, is it worth putting it on the Raw upgrade? Since you won't get much scaling out of it. Yeah, that's what Raw is for, but now that elemental damage scales with Intelligence and/or Faith, I suspect you're likely to get more damage by infusing it with the appropriate element for you (magic for Intelligence, Lightning for Faith, Dark for both). I don't have hard numbers on it though, and if you don't like an infusion, you can always reinfuse the same weapon, converting it to a different type.

The correct way to use the pursuer ballista is to fire blindly as often as you can. Ideally both of them with the help of a phantom. Third guy just has to git gud.

Level up strength and dexterity to at least 16/10, that should let you use longswords and maces and shields that aren't garbage to carry you through those times. Alternately, get a second steak knife and powerstance those fuckers. Also, can you do me a favor and try to attune at a bonfire? I also started as a sorcerer with soul arrow and great soul arrow and I'm not sure if that's because I was a sorcerer or I stumbled on the great arrow without noticing.

Sergeant_Crunch posted:Then bow. I bow and chug all my estus before every fight that isn't bell/ratbros. Just don't complain about people who attack you while doing it, because there's no reason you should get hit, and around 80% of the time at iron keep you'll get someone who's willing to bow and do the whole little prefight ritual, so it isn't like there is nobody around who will bow back to you. The people who attack during emotes are the minority, most people are just there to duel. You're arguing with someone who isn't disagreeing with you, dude.

Lysandus posted:I started a sorcerer and I'm really having trouble. I run out of spells to cast then all I have is a dinky steak knife. If this is your first dark souls game, start a new character and choose a melee class like warrior. That's not me being a dick, sorcery is really hard and then it makes the game stupidly easy. You're gimping yourself out of the proper experience if you don't go melee first. Go sword and board, and then when you beat the game you can re-roll to sorcery. If this isn't your first game you should know better.

You get great arrow early on in FoFG just as a pickup, that's probably what happened.

Fire longsword would be better becasue lightning is faith based. but even that isn't ideal, instead get your attunement up and get more spells. And get a mace.

Huh I dunno. Usually I just use them on the bridge leading up to the neo-ornstein fight. Blue orbs don't care about your location and will put you anywhere where it finds someone with sin so you don't actually have to move around areas like you do with the red orbs.

Where's the earliest place to farm ascetics, and as spectacular as a +10 mace is will it still cut the mustard on ng+7? I really want that fantastic goat hat, but I haven't got a single overpowered sorcery to rely on.

What's a good level to tackle The Pursuer at? And how do I go into other people's worlds? I have a Cracked Blue Orb and a thing that lets me invade others but neither of them do anything.

The person you can invade has to have at least 10 sin. So you need to find someone who's killed 10 players and/or NPC's. It's a big pain in the rear end like most things Bigbluebro related.

There's a Pharos Lockstone thing near the platform with the rear end in a top hat Greatbow knight in the Iron Keep. I think it activates water. Is it worth using?

Thanks, I just sat down to look at it and was confused about it. I was playing with phantoms though so we probably just blazed through the area. quote:Fire longsword would be better becasue lightning is faith based. but even that isn't ideal, instead get your attunement up and get more spells. And get a mace. Aren't more things less resistant to lightning than fire though? I have 40 int and 24 fth and my lightning morningstar is cleaning up quite nicely. Would switching to fire overcome that resistance difference that much at this point?

I invaded three people with Cracked Blue Eye Orbs in the span of like 15 minutes or so this morning. You don't have to be in the same area as the person you're invading. The trick, in my experience, is to just keep hammering the Cracked Blue Eye orb button. After 5-10 tries you'll get a hit.
