Cardboard Box posted:tbh I think this game kinds wears out it's welcome at a point. I was really losing interest around the time I got to Brightstone Cove Tseldora. but that probably has to do with that being the worst area in the game and not feeling much sense of purpose with what I was doing. I thought everyone agreed it was Black Gulch. That place is tedious and the statues don't even give me souls.

I did that for awhile for some hilarious duels. Edit: I Chameleon and fool around a lot.

Both the Gutter and Black Gulch are great because the first time you go through them, they're long slogs through poison statues and a bunch of other bullshit, then when you start just trying to get past the area to fight the boss you can blast through the entire branch in about 5 minutes to get to the last bonfire before the boss.

Sunbroíng at the Medusa boss is a ton of fun. Powerstance with 2 clubs and her guard breaks all the drat time so people can just hammer her into the ground.

Can somebody explain the difference between the Way of the Blue and Blue Sentinels? I have read both descriptions on a DS2 wiki but I can't figure out how they're different aside from actually being two separate covenants.

Way of Blue is the covenant to join if you want to be protected, and Blue Sentinels is the covenant to join if you want to be the protector, as well as use Blue Orbs to invade sinners, or duel in the arena. They're both terrible and the only covenant you should be joining is the Company of Champions

The Way of the Blue is the newbie covenant. They automatically call Blue Sentinels for help when they themselves are invaded. In addition, the Blue Sentinels can invade the worlds of sinners with cracked blue eye orbs.

If someone has all the Heide armour at 400k SM in NG they're probably hacking? I really hope they get around to implementing something for anti-cheat. Think of the money they'd make from people re-buying the game. I guess I haven't had too many terrible experiences, and I would like it if there were a lot more cracked red-eye orbs in NG myself, but just knowing that every pvp encounter could be a hacker makes it less fun. Still I have 150 hours played so I can't really complain too much.

You can easily get the whole set early with ascetics. Even if they did cheat it in who cares, it's just an armor set. Unless it's something like fully upgraded Havel's or Smelter's it's not gonna make much of a difference.

Kaldaris posted:Rat Covenant is one of the most creative and one of the least disruptive. Even if you don't like PvP it's fun, because there's nothing at stake to be lost from being summoned by one. I don't know I find it a somewhat lovely experience when its the host+NPCs gangbanging you off the bat. Nothing may of been at stake but such a one-sided encounter makes for a lovely experience. It'd be better if the ratman did less damage and were more reliant on traps/NPCs. Internet Kraken posted:If From didn't consider PvP to be an important part of the game then the effigy burning system wouldn't have been added. Could also be said if From wanted PvP to matter in NG they wouldn't of only made NPCs sell orbs for it in NG+. Drakes fucked around with this message at 22:07 on May 29, 2014 |

So there are a few hackers doing Fight Clubs on the iron keep bridge. Basically, the balcony area of the bridge is cordoned off by prism stones, they'll summon in reds who fight to the death for their amusement. I've even gotten a petrified dragon bone from one guy called Ned Stark or something for winning 3 in a row. Just... don't disrupt things, because they have Wrath of God that does enough damage to one hit you. I mean enough to damage to take me out with 350 lightning resist and 2.3k HP.

I guess if they are they got tired of getting backstabbed by summoned reds.

Aside from the fact that they're giving away a rare item for wins, it doesn't sound like they're hacking. Wog just does that much damage.

Bluecops are a good covenant to be in if you're bad at pvp and enjoy dying ineffectually I have a higher win rate against way of the blue members who summon bluecops than I do against normal hosts. Most of them are not good.
