If you were a real man you'd install the mod and see what happened to you.  poo poo, maybe not? I'd test it myself but then if there was a ban we wouldn't know which was the culprit. Good luck!

Wild Knight posted:So wait, does GeDoSaTo VAC-ban you or not, because I've been looking at this nexus mod all weekend (it's just Zelda textures, don't worry) and was wondering if rolling a Link character would be more viable in this game than the first because you can actually use swords in your left hand now, but if I might get VAC-banned for it theeeen it probably wouldn't be worth it. If people do get banned for injectors there's gonna be an enormous swathe of people banned, so who knows how that'll go down.

I think VAC would know the difference between something modding actual game files versus an injector. As Durante stated, basically even poo poo like FRAPS, Mumble, SweetFX would be grounds for a VAC ban if it counted it as much, since those and plenty other programs essentially do the same thing on some level.

Ciaphas posted:Oi, I use the greatsword. There is one somewhat unique strength weapon I've been using that seems easy to miss: Estoc. All the speed and style of other rapiers but none of the drawbacks that come with focusing on dex (mainly, that dex scaling as a whole tends to be weaker than strength scaling and relies more on speed/dual-wielding/auxiliary effects). Dual-wield 'em to deliver absolute punishment against any humanoid target. Dandywalken posted:I may be missing the obvious here... but what the gently caress is he doing in a memory anyways?

Just did the Ceaseless Discharge version of the Executioner's Chariot fight. Kill the first necromancer and his skellies then stand in an alcove and throw spells. At around 40% the boss will fall off and his skeletal horses will frantically try to claw their way out of the pit. One hit will knock them down.

Mystic Mongol posted:So, if there's any cheat detection running on Dark Souls II at all, I should be banned pretty quick. After all, that's a 130 level gap, plus max equipment, stats at a level literally impossible at that SM, and I've played online at a SM 2.4 million higher than I just played now, which should set off some kind of red flag or other. I'll check in once every two days or so and see how it goes. You're crazy. That is all. Also, as far as I know the only leaderboards are Covenant of Champions. FROM also probably won't notice if your SM + SL combination is actually possible. Main way they'll catch people is if they have an invalid combination.

Disclaimer: I won't actually continue to haunt multiplayer with this character. I suppose that means that leader-board-based cheat checking won't detect me? But I'm not willing to cheat in a few hundred matches just to see if anyone notices, four fights was already pushing it. Those poor, poor phantoms.

The Dragonrider and Ornstein died with less than 10 scimitar hits In Pharros, at the very beginning, you'll see the Mastodon in the water and a dwarf nerd up on the left. Once you smoked em, go up onto the left path where the Dwarf was rather than down low with the Bonfire. You'll proceed up to Brightstone Cove or some poo poo, which is the next area.

Mans posted:I actually only found that lever to open the water gate when i was level 90. The Dragonrider and Ornstein died with less than 10 scimitar hits To progress, you need four great souls. You cleared the wharf, which should get you to the Bastile. You can also get to the Bastille by beating the second boss in the Giant's Forest, then investigating the nest behind him. Keep exploring the Bastille, clearing bosses and going new places, and you'll eventually reach a boss in Sinner's Rise who has one of the four great souls. Use a torch. Have you talked to the lady who sells miracles you meet after Dragonrider a bunch? Talk to her some more, then go back to majire and walk down the corridor to Hilde's tower again, you should see her next to a contraption. This unlocks a new route, which ultimately leads to one of the four great souls. There's another great soul deep within the shaded woods. At the crossroad circular staircase, head towards the foggy woods. If you can make it out the other side you reach the Shaded Ruins, and keep pushing forwards from there to get one of the four great souls. Finally, there's a big dumb hole in the center of Majire. Maybe you can make it down there? If you clear the other three paths first someone'll be available to sell ladders, maybe. Or you can buy a ring of catfall from someone in Majire. At the very bottom of the hole you'll find one of the four great souls. bef posted:Why would you modify your game in any way if you know its under VAC? How do you find out if a stove is hot?

As someone with an unjust VAC ban, I would really rather understand the system than sit in the dark shaking chicken feathers at a mysterious, distant, uncaring Gabe Newell.

Nothing like having your host die against Pursuer because the other phantom decided to ballista them in the face!  I swear the most dangerous thing about that fight isn't the boss: it's the phantoms/hosts who don't understand that the ballista can and will kill anything in front of it, allies included.

Once that's over, boy howdy, here's another blue fellow come to ruin my day. One invaded me and immediately buffed Great Magic Barrier and Sunlight Weapon, so I said screw that, popped on the cat ring and started running around until the buffs expired. He fell off a cliff

I finished the game with a SL 160 pure warrior/pyromancy. I want to make a new character, cleric or mage and I don't want to use the mace this playthrough because it is all I used in the last one. What is a good cleric/mage build? Should I just put all points into INT/Faith/ATT early on until I get them all to 25 or so?

If you're planning to make a completely new character, you don't get Lightning Spear until you've at least beaten the Dragonrider in Heide's Tower of Flame so maybe invest more towards magic at first. Though after that I'd probably use Lightning Spear more than the Soul Arrow variants until you get some decent hexes to play with. You should still put in enough points in str/dex to use a weapon of your choice though, just as a precaution. Don't bother going over the minimum requirement or anything, then infuse it with lightning/magic/dark.

So when is From going to properly balance the Drakekeepers? Seriously, they have enormous weapons that swing in huge 270-degree-plus horizontal arcs, they swing incredibly fast, track impeccably spinning like tops to hit you, have nearly zero downtime between combos, and can insta-kill or stagger kill you in one hit/combo nearly every time. I thought the trade-off with having larger, hard-hitting enemies was that they were slower and could be strafed/dodged? I've found no reliable way to kill them past spell spamming/arrows, especially the two-handed mace ones.
