Gazaar posted:All goons are the same pubbies they love to despise. RIP. In every game with a chat program of any kind Goons inevitably find the people who are masturbating while playing and harass the ever loving poo poo out of them. From brony servers in TF2 to the people programming fuckable horses in Second Life to Goldshire Inn and the local cantina on Deep Space 9 goons tirelessly pursue those who might have a hand in their pants. Even the AFK miners in EVE who are masturbating to something other than the game they're playing while logged in, goons inevitably and viciously pursue anyone who might possibly be masturbating while playing a game they love. We are the masturbation police, essentially. And by not masturbating we manage to play the game slightly better than those who are masturbating and thus make them angry enough that they have to stop masturbating. Forcing strangers to stop masturbating on the internet is such a popular activity that we've got a griefing thread that's like a couple hundred pages long with all the details.

Masturbating while playing DS2 puts me in a heightened state of awareness and I doubt I would have been able to make it through the double Pursuer fight without it.

So turns out there's an inventory cap. I killed alonne while at said cap without realizing I didn't pick up his soul. Left the memory. Never got the soul.

i've heard of something like that, but never encountered it despite having one of literally everything in my inventory, including dummied-out stuff.

Nahxela posted:There's a relative shitton of Evil Eye Rings you can pick up in the game, and some of them are in areas that are frequently ascetic'd for farming, like Dragon Aerie. Makes sense. I wonder if the game counts individual items in a stack for your inventory though, because I keep hitting the cap even though I delete stuff. Maybe it's because so much poo poo in my inventory is capped at 99? Next time I hit it I'm going to have to test. EDIT: I really liked Ivory King right up until the end. The boss fight was fun but that grind for the 50 souls was poo poo. Nuebot fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Dec 27, 2014 |

Do I have any chance of being invaded on my first run through the game? I'm up to the Iron Keep on a punchy fist character and I'd like to get the Vanquisher's Seal, but grinding the Grave of the Saints (or even just finding a second bonfire ascetic) sounds boring. I was hoping if I hanged out on the Iron Keep bridge while watching some TV I'd get someone, but at ~500K soul memory I'm getting nothing. Am I pretty much outta luck unless I go to NG+?

The only way you can't be invaded is to play offline. It's just very unlikely.

They kind of screwed over the invading covenents, and the PVP systems as a whole in 2. It was always kind of rare to get invaded unless you went to the bell towers.

Actual invasions are rare at any level. The Soul Memory poo poo and the fact that every time you invade you have to use up a not-easy-to-acquire consumable pretty much takes care of that. This thread is full of good ideas on ways to fix that but From is sticking to its guns. Of course From sticking to its guns is what allowed us to have the souls series to begin with, so you can't just outright blame them.

I don't think soul memory was ever the problem with lack of invasions. It's just that it's tied to a rare consumable. It wasn't an issue in dark souls 1 because you had infinite use invasion items, and while the red eye orb wasn't that easy to find, a ton of people still had it. And thanks to that, it made blue orb invasions a lot more likely as well. I've never actually had difficulty *using* cracked red orbs in dark souls 2 (and I can't say the same about the first game), and it seemed to match me against people around the same level. That leads me to think soul memory was never the problem, it's just the lack of a reusable orb.

Soul Memory isn't the problem with a lack of invasions (which is the lack of a Red/Blue Orb's fault), it's the problem with all end-game PVP and the arenas being hideously homogenized and scummy.

Yeah, people are around to invade, I get jumped instantly when walking into the bell tower. Maybe it's from the steam sale, but I couldn't have been much off 500k as I was there for the first time.

I was getting summoned fairly regularly at Luna a few days ago, sometimes with just seconds between them. Sol was a good bit slower. You realize you have to be in the Bastille or Iron Keep to get summoned right? You'll see the covenant icon on the hud glowing when you're in the right place with the ring on. e: though sometimes yeah summons just kind of don't happen for a while. Who knows

Pussy Get off dark souls The subject lines of two separate empty messages received from a bloodbro after I beat him in the arena by turning into a pot and stabbing him to death after he was dumb enough to get close. Classic  The moral of the story is don't chase pots.

I recommend using http://www.isthereanydeal.com for inquiries of this nature, you can even set it up to email you when it goes on sale. Also, if you use Enhanced Steam, it will tell you where you can currently get it for the cheapest price. I managed to snag the season pass for Saints Row 4 for $1.25 doing this.

Yeah, got a message off another guy that thought it was nifty (if still gimmicky) Also a "you're awesome" from some xanthous-wearing pyro-spamming arse after I ended our third consecutive encounter by casting immolation and repeatedly performing the warcry emote until I burned to death, because I have a mental block with the custard monstrosity and gently caress putting effort into a sure loss.

Looks like your phantom buddy desyncs a couple of minutes into the fight. That thing in your gif is totally normal though, all grab attacks can look glitchy if you get hit by the very edge of the attacks hitbox.
