Oh boy oh boy oh boy I got my copy of Dark Souls from a contest on these very forums, my inept deaths among jolly goon co-op will be so sweet. Speaking of which, is there now a way to make it more likely to summon people you're actually friends with? Feel like I read that somewhere...

Lemonpieman posted:So, can somebody tell me why there needs to be a PC exclusive thread at all? All it really seems to do is split up discussion for the same game between two different threads. It just seems weird and unnecessary. Maybe you've missed the fact that the console version has already been out for a month or so? It makes perfect sense for this thread to exist for all us PC scrubs not wanting everything spoiled/have the joy of experiencing things new with others. El Golden Goose posted:Same thing happened to me. Wonder what the deal is? Yeah I got that too, figured its cause my monitor has been acting up though. Strange. Also can I just say that switching the jump while running to pressing left analog stick instead of B is dumb and makes no sense. A minor complaint really, but still annoying.

Ugh I'm really enjoying some parts of this game but having major difficulties with others. My number one issue right now though is where the hell do I go after killing the last giant? I think I opened all the doors the soldier's key can open, is my only option killing the pursuer at this point? Cause that guy wrecks my poo poo.

Or I guess I'm just used to DS1 having an interconnected world and figuring out where to go next by continually poking around for shortcuts. Also the best part of this game so far is all the bloodstains of people accidentally falling off cliffs, never fails to crack me up.

Hahah, I just got to the part where now I understand and can laugh at the thread title! And then right after pulling the level that moves the ship my computer crashed  Most of my annoyances at this game have evaporated now that 1) I've left the forest of the giants behind, and 2) the small white signstone being the best thing ever created. e: I havent been invaded yet surprisingly, even though I've picked up a bunch of cracked blue eyes myself. What gives, are people just playing through the game first before they get deep into pvp or something? e2: Oh what in the gently caress computer/steam! Steam is now suddenly redownloading all 8.4 gigs of DS2

So after having to redownload all of DS2 for some reason, this popped up before I got back to playing (yes I went with the best name): But it didnt really seem to effect much of anything, still had all my (useless) preorder junk which is the only thing I can think of that would count as DLC at this point. Luckily I barely lost any progress either.

Was wondering if it was that reason or something else I'd been kicked out of being a shade a few times. Do you mean using the small signstone? Cause then no, you can definitely fight bosses as a shade. Helping two other dudes fight the sentinels was how I learned how to beat them.

This happens now if 1) you kill the same enemies a lot, something like 15-20 I think, or 2) the enemies kill you, like 10 times or something.

tRIDAV posted:So if you die, the game punishes you by reducing your HP. And eventually it decides to make it easier by permanently despawning enemies. Except if you're having trouble with 1 particular part past the despawned enemies, you're now even worse off than before because you can't get souls. Except if you want to make them even more difficult by making them NG+ level if you have particular items. And none of this is told to the player either. This is a mechanic designed to get people going human more often, and jolly coopin' together, not to just annoy you. Basically, you're playing the game wrong. Use (not burn) a human effigy, or even easier use the small signstone (which you can use while hollow!) to help some dudes out and gain your humanity when you succeed. e: Also useful for trying out bosses or particularly difficult areas (cause you dont have to fight a boss to be summoned with it), since you don't lose your souls if you fail Logan 5 fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Apr 26, 2014 |

Are you sure your friends aren't using the small white soapstone? Cause I'm pretty sure you need to be human to use the regular one that Pate gives you, but its the small one you can use while hallow. e: or not. Yeah the victor's stone disables online co-op play.

Dirk the Average posted:Check under the Servants Quarters bonfire. Bring a lockstone. It's worth checking out, and there are some neat rewards for doing it. It won't advance the plot any though. For that you might want to check out other paths away from the main town hub. Try walking to other areas manually instead of warping. Ah, ok, well I don't think I have a lockstone right now so that'll have to wait. I think I found the next area though, from Majula, talk to that lady and pay her 2000 souls to move the thing?

I just got into the belltower and just barely killed my first invader. The 2nd one wrecked me with some magic attack thing (I know nothing about sorcery in dark souls games, I always like just using swords and shields  ). So I went to give it another go while hallowed, not knowing that you can still get invaded then. One invades me with that big honking greatsword, but mistimes his parries and I get him down just as I get invaded again by another sorcerer with that devastating magic attack. Except this time I dodged it and got in his face with my Drangleic sword and destroy him in 3 swings.This is really is a lot of fun. Can you leave a summoning sign somewhere to help people invading the belfry? e: Pwnstar posted:I've got over 100 chunks of titanite but I can't stop defending the belltower, its too much fun. Wait, this is the reward what you get for becoming a bellbro? I might need to become a bellbro...

Manatee Cannon posted:I want to see what you guys are doing to die on the way to the Smelter Demon, it's a short walk and every enemy but one can be stunlocked into oblivion. There's only one archer that can attack you along the way, and you can hide from it easily. My problem isn't on the way to the smelter demon, my problem is the smelter demon himself (and the turtle guys if I try and skip him). Also it seems like everybody I summon cant even handle getting to the smelter demon, let alone taking him on. And I'm a pure melee character, I got all my best fire def stuff on, I've learned his moves so I don't get hit with the worst stuff, and I hack away at this guy and it does nothing. Am I missing something here?

Took me three tries but I finally got that smelter demon down! Summoning a magic sunbro who actually knew to avoid that AoE attack helped a lot I think. Seriously the first two people I summoned must have been trying him for the first time cause they didnt have the sense to back away and died instantly.
