I have a bunch of copies of my own save through no particular effort from me, thanks to system restore checkpoints. If you have that enabled, check the folder's Previous Versions tab? (Assuming Win8 retained that functionality, which I could assume but there's a whole lot of assumptions that could be made of the OS that don't work out)

Finally got around to doing some IK bridge fighting and I've realized why I hated pvp so much until now. Invaders always got to me at the worst loving time- retrieving my soul, Dark Chasms, while fighting a Guardian Dragon, trying to get items from the lava, spawning behind me in the turtle corridor etc. But on the bridge everything's cool. If I die my soul is right there, there's no long backtracking to where I was going, no enemies or death drops. Just me and some Dragonbro sparring for fun.

If I had known that I did not need to close and start the game again with the crows while I was playing the console version I could've saved a couple of hours. And a couple more on PC until I realized it.

So, if anything, turning (a proper) VAC on would be the work of a Lucifer who hates fun. Lord knows that From probably needs to make deals with the denizens of Hell to program one.

You can only leave one at a time, but you don't have to quit the menu after each one. So just repeatedly leave one stone and when you're done quit the menu and collect all the items.

Hell, I think I can fix it. A weapon's hitbox length is controlled by a few numbers in each individual weapon's parameters. It is not bound by the weapon model in any obvious way I can see so far. So, if they wanted to they could shorten it a bit. --- Toadsmash posted:Is there some kind of limit on how many at a time you can do it with? I dropped a stack of like 11 earlier today and they gave their usual rejection dialogue and wouldn't trade. Maybe try 4 or 5? There's a limit on the number of different items you can pick up in one grab, I believe it's 5. That's why they don't let you do the group drop, the game can't handle dropping a big stack.

I got tired of the black and gold of the dragon armor and ruin/velstadt armor combos, so I inverted it. I probably should have bought the Throne Defender set instead of just the Watcher's back in NG because in retrospect it looks more like the armored robes I want for a battlemage since there really aren't any, but oh well.

Supposedly what a lot of people wind up doing is slapping on a ring of soul protection or whatever when they get invaded at a bad time, and even if they die before they grab their souls, it won't create a new bloodstain so all you have to do is get your ring repaired or slip on a spare and head on back again.

I recall hearing though that the one time you should use enchant over magic is if you have 50 and over, though. Is enchant just useless for everything then? It never occured to me to ask before: what's that statue in the back of the pic I posted of my char in Majula? The one in the middle of the fortress there?

Basically yes. Magic infusion out-damages Enchant infusion in every constellation I've tried yet. DESPITE being a split damage type which has to go through two resistances.

RBA Starblade posted:54 int. I recall hearing though that the one time you should use enchant over magic is if you have 50 and over, though. Is enchant just useless for everything then? Enchant makes it so the physical damage of a weapon scales with Int. In the case of the MLGS is turns it from pure magic damage to pure physical damage as well. The issue is the scaling is so bad that it's never better than leaving it normal or making it Raw (and in MLGS's case it makes the r2s worthless because the magic beams will do no damage, since they need magic damage on the sword to work). For MLGS you want Raw unless you have very high Int (~50). I also suggest dropping your Int to 50 and just spicing down the few spells above it. Those points are better put elsewhere.

Oh, I didn't know enchant turned magic damage to physical. Thanks for the info, I'll make the MLGS magic then and just ignore my enchant stones forever.Genocyber posted:For MLGS you want Raw unless you have very high Int (~50). I also suggest dropping your Int to 50 and just spicing down the few spells above it. Those points are better put elsewhere. The only reason it's still at 54 is I ran out of spices messing around. I'm at SL 190 though so whatever.

Thus, killing them isn't always the goal, wasting their time is. Keep them from making progress on the earthen peak catwalks! Trigger all the traps on Iron Keep! Kill Lucatiel in No Man's Wharf and then black crystal out, forcing them to walk all the way back to the bonfire! Have them aggro and kill all the stone soldiers near the first Drangleic bonfire so they can't open any doors! Kill every single sunbro and blue cop you see with extreme prejudice!

Another fun time is waiting outside the door to the poison room in Drangleic, and every time they try opening the door, attack them and prompt them to roll backwards, then close the door again. I once managed to hold that door against a group of 3 for around 5 minutes before they finally just ate the poison and spammed magic at me, forcing me back.

There is a ring effect that allows you to disguise yourself as any flavor of phantom you wish. It even lets you choose the timer gradation. I have no idea if it transfers online. Further testing is needed. EDIT: Oooh. Purple phantom.
