So... I summoned a mad ghost and killed it, didn't get anything :confused: why would anyone summon purple ghosts if the host doesn't get anything by winning ?

I thought that you're not supposed to be able to tell that you're doing it?

purples can help the host by fighting enemies and invaders. unfortunately a lot of people are boring and just use it like a red sign.

But why summon a purple one for helping with enemies and invaders if you can just summon a white/gold one ?
If there's the danger of him attacking me at least I should get something (a covenant item or some ember ?)

if you got a reward for it people would only summon purples to gank them with a squad of whites and yellows

e: which is mostly what happens anyway

Okay, I think it's time to try another class, not because I want to change but because rumour has it that only certain classes don't crash the game. Any tips on what those were? The DEX guy seems to crash a lot. I can't get out of the tutorial area, every time I try to open the doors it crashes.

I'll try knight.

The current rumor is that it has to do with cloth physics. Try opening the door while naked and see if the same thing happens.

I put all my settings on low and started a new character. Got to the second bonfire in Lothric and I've yet to die, did I git gud?

Gotta say it's no shame in putting this game on low. It's still a very pretty game :3: It helps that I haven't had a crash yet on this char either.

The Lothric knights aren't so bad anymore once you fight them in the courtyard. The sword ones can get stun locked to hell and the spear guys take a bit to retract their weapons after a thrust.

Though the Blue Guy...

Pick knight for starts if you're quite literally new to the game genre. The shield and metal armor will assist you in not taking as much damage as, say, getting hit in the face while wearing diapers.

Herald also works since he has decent armor, a shield with 100% phys resist and a (weak) healing spell. Though the tracking on his spear is a bit wonky (mostly when using the shield-break charge).

More importantly I got the "Hello" carving. I'm criminally underleveled since I started as deprived :shepface: and blew 20k souls on the key you need to get to the crows but drat it it's worth it.

Also got a uchigatana for killing that dude over to the left of the firelink approach. Guess I'm going dex this game!

I know where you are so I got a question for that spot.

Did you go up the tower by any chance and cross the bridge? I can't get the drat item on the left where you have to platforming Dark Souls Bullshit. I keep landing and then slipping off.

Yeah, I'd switch that poo poo out for a Shortsword ASAP, or just wait until you get through High Walls and get the Astora Straight Sword.

I managed to fix the crashing by setting both lighting and shadow quality low and turning off motion blur & depth of field. Managed to beat the big tree dude, that was a pretty neat boss fight.

You can fix it completely by setting your "Lighting" graphics setting to low, so I figure it has to do with light reflecting off certain gear?

Whatever it is I hope they fix it in the patch rumored to be coming tomorrow.

I guess the idea with the purple summons is for non-day one play where you really need an ally so you have to throw the dice and hope they don't kill you, but given that that kind of ability attracts exactly the sort of player that would kill you right before the boss dies makes me inclined to believe it was a bad idea.

Put away your shield if you've got one. On the 360 controller, I use LT to activate the skill, and depending on what it is (ie long sword et al), RT/RB can modify it.
