Geop's gonna lock the thread if you all keep prying. I mean it's been so long I lost count of the updates without the thread being locked, why not keep it that way.

Hm, that secret tree would be the first since they took it out of the tutorial for Scholars. Also backstabbing that guy? RUDE.

Since you wanted to know: falling in Dark Souls is very weird and is mostly manual work by the devs tagging every collision triangle with a fall damage multiplier. I think the idea is that it's material-dependent, e.g. stone should hurt more than dirt, but there are cases they nerf fall damage for required drops. Otherwise, the damage taken is based on time "spent falling", but the game doesn't always have a consistent view of fall states, especially when sliding or falling down large surfaces. When Dark Souls 2 PC first came out, it was 60fps vs. 30fps on consoles. Fall damage was doubled since it was measured based on frames, so it's possible that the videos you saw were from that era. The "durability bug" was also caused by this. I say "durability bug" because Scholar's patches fixed the double-frame-count bug and made it consistent for all framerates, but they just doubled the durability loss, so it's like as if the bug was still there. There are also plenty of other weird frame-based bugs in the Souls franchise -- my favorite being that on 60FPS, in Dark Souls 2, if you look at the sky "too fast", the sun sprite just doesn't spawn. Patched in Scholar, though.

I too thought that jump was quite a pain in regards to getting that item. Then I looked up. Which caused me to boggle at how many people suggest to jump from that ledge.

Ah, I love how Geop made the jump perfectly on the second try, but didn't get the item... purely because nobody told him how to not roll when you land.

You need to do a plunging attack, that'll stop you good. Also yes, no need to jump this particular item. The NEXT zone, however, does have an especially nasty jump with no ifs and buts.

IronSaber posted:I broke my Trident from dancing too much. But you have immortalized yourself in the LP! Also the backstab Geop delivered was loving magical.  The retribution you delivered followed by the "no no!" gesture was also magical. Anyway, towards the end of the video we see one of those oddities I talked about. You can knock down that tree as a shortcut, which in Dark Souls 1 would be quite welcome so you could cut around the dark fun-house you had to go through originally. But this is Dark Souls 2; where there is a bonfire immediately after that log that you can warp to arbitrarily, less than a minute from the area's first bonfire.  I feel like that second bonfire would be another case of "this didn't need to be here at all", but that bonfire was also there in the network beta, so that was probably planned out before it was decided that you could just warp around freely. In any case, the existence of that shortcut is something of an oddity given how the final game works. MGlBlaze fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Aug 7, 2016 |

Also remember that "No bonfire" runs are a thing. So there needs to be ways back other than teleporting. IIRC anyway.

IronSaber posted:How does that even work? Every time you die, you get sent back to Things Betwixt? And if you haven't touched any bonfires, you just respawn at the Greek-style ruins in Things Betwixt instead. Edit: The other reason that shortcut in Huntsman's Copse is useful is because the area is a minor PvP hotspot. "Opening" that shortcut thus expands the emergent arena.

Wiki suggests you can light bonfires to change your respawn point. But yeah, if you are that crazy, a no-death run might be folded in.

Getting almost legit mad at Goonther sitting on all these messages/bloodstains for multiple seconds and not interacting with them  I didn't like this area, for reasons Geop will probably see in the next episode

I didn't find Huntsman's Copse all that difficult--pretty easy, in fact, outside of a couple of annoyances. The next proper area, though, was a pain in my rear end.

You can make that jump easily if you just run off the ledge.

Simply Simon posted:Oh no, it's still a pain in the rear end, it's just literally to only way to do it halfway consistent at all. But plunging attacks in DS2 are weirdly garbage in general and this absolutely extends to using them as a momentum-stopper. I know I was joking

I hadn't seen the DS1 LP and checked it out, I can't believe you beat Capra Demon on your first try. That fucker took me at around two dozen tries you jerk.

I did a no-bonfire run to perfect my Saber cosplay build. It's actually not hard at all since you can light bonfires to act as checkpoints, as long as you don't sit down. The real challenge of it is hanging onto your souls and upgrade materials for entire map spokes.
