Outside of starting with one, where can I find a 100% physical damage reduction shield the earliest?

You can either get lucky and a knight enemy will drop his, or you can rescue Greirat and purchase a Kite Shield off of him. It needs 12 strength.

I'm at the last boss. if I still want to go fight the nameless king and get some PVP in before NG+ am I correct in assuming I shouldn't kill him yet?

The game asks you if you want to go to NG+, so you're safe as long as you don't want to host invaders in his area.

That doesn't actually remove a softban once it's in effect--it's to avoid the softban in the first place. You don't get banned immediately when invalid data is detected, so restoring your save to a backup before you're actually banned basically just removes the invalid data. Once you're banned, though, I think it's account-wide, so you then would have to make a family share account and load up your backup there.

It's like all the people that just got banned for hacking in TF2, literally every single one of them said they never hacked, but there was no false-positives to that ban wave, valve worked directly with the dude making the aimbot they all used.

I just have never understood the mindset, I guess.

Psychology 101 says it's part of the power/control mindset. You know that one guy who would get legitimately pissed off and flip the table because they lost at a friendly board game or something? Same kinda people.

Well I mean, why does anyone do any sort of griefing? They obviously get pleasure from other people's pain and frustration, and since it's online they don't really face any consequences. I suppose you could take it as an extension or parallel to bullying, except they can affect many more people and avoid repercussions while doing it.

One thing my Silver Knight archer is not ineffective at: Killing the Nameless King. Whoever in this thread said that the NK is easy at range was completely correct. He can't do poo poo to hit you, all of his range attacks (I'm counting his attacks he does to get right up in your face) are easy to dodge and pitiful. It'll take nearly all your arrows, but wow, it makes this fight a joke.

Power you didn't really earn or an accomplishment gained through that sort of power is pretty empty. But that's obviously just my personal feeling on the matter. I'll never understand those sorts of people, they're just empty husks as far as I'm concerned. Real life hollows.

Why do middle aged men with failing marriages buy tons of guns? Having the power to dunk on other people makes you feel special, and it is much easier to buy/hack your way into power than it is to earn it for real.

I think several people in this thread just died inside.

Personally, I managed to hit 30 ears just by wearing blue sentinel for the majority of my NG playthrough. They weren't super common (except one time where I got 5 in a row during my NG+ Farron Swamp run that I can't explain), but they happened often enough that I just built up my ear supply over time.

So he wasn't supposed to instantly stop breathing when you hit him once? I actually thought that was a neat surprise since typically a boss will finish their entire big animation while you get free hits in if you dodge it early.

It's a fine line though, it's funny when it's just a couple of people doing it but when the tools get user-friendly enough or someone posts a guide explaining how to do it "for the lulz" and everyone starts doing it it's not fun anymore. Imagine if 4/5 invasions were that guy.
