If any brits missed the GMG discount you can still grab it at ShopTo for £28. I got my steam key from them earlier today. http://www.shopto.net/video-games/download/DWNLD34675-dark-souls-ii-preorder

Ignimbrite posted:Reading the other thread, I never really understood what ascetics did. They make the area the next level of difficulty up and respawn all the enemies? Exactly. You need them for farming black phantoms for rare equipment and they only spawn once on every NG+

Linux Nazi posted:So I am still playing through this on PS3, taking my sweet time. I am seriously like 60 hours in cause I play this like I played old school metroids and just wander and investigate every nook. Every build is viable really and you're never screwing yourself out of a certain playstyle because you can just reallocate your points with a soul vessel later if you feel like a different build.

Was it confirmed that your ingame name is your steam name? Because I put down my white summon sign and when I checked it just showed my characters name.

It took 18 ascetics but I finally did it. The mad goat warrior (by comparison, I got this on PS3 in one kill in NG from merciless Roenna without even realising how rare it is)

Welp. Anyone heard anything about hackers yet because I just ran into a guy who didn't take damage from a great resonant soul to the chest. He wasn't dodging and there was no lag.

Made a new character called Blue Man Group. Made him all blue and plan to do a dual caestus strongman run. Put down a small white sign and got summoned then the 3 of us managed to kill the pursuer and I accidentally killed the host with the fire bomb shortcut. Whoops!

All of the proactive invasion based pvp (blue/red) is all dependant on the covenant of blood. The only way to get cracked red eye orbs in NG is by winning 1v1 duels at the undead purgatory. Once someone has invaded and killed 10 hosts they are labelled as a sinner. Only when that happens can blue sentinels can invade and if they kill the host, the host loses one point of sin. There are practically no invasions in NG because the amount of effort required to get the cracked red orbs is more than the measly reward you get for killing the host. Fromsoft wanted more multiplayer interaction in DS2 but at the same time completely destroyed red phantom invasions until NG+ If there's no red phantom invasions there's no sin If there's no sin there's no blue sentinels If there's no blue sentinels the way of the blue is rendered useless Also levelling the covenant of blood is completely rear end backwards. If you lose an invasion you can actually go into negative progress. Also losses from duels and invasions stack and the wins don't stack so you basically have to be some kind of pvp dark souls savant god with a 200%+ winrate otherwise you will never level up.

People who gloat about darkwraiths not being able to SL1 invade any more don't realise the knock on effect with the entire rest of the game. If there are no darkwraiths then the blue sentinens and way of the blue is completely pointless. Someone megamuling and then suiciding to give you 500k souls fucks you over permanently. Low level invading doesn't.

Sydin posted:Right, gently caress Harvest Valley. Did I miss a set somewhere with good poison resist? Seriously it's like the the DS1 swamp but only worse, because now if you're poisoned you lose your health in like five seconds. I mean okay I have like 10 poison clumps, and I found Gavlan chilling in a hole to wheel and deal me some more, but I feel like even that is going to be all gone by the time I'm done with this place. Popping a lifegem will completely negate the poison damage for maybe half of the duration. You can also stand in poison while it ticks down and it won't count against it. Just make sure you're out of it when it resets.

I just got into No Man's Wharf and I've met a Miracle vendor, but no sorceries, and said vendor didn't have any enchantments anyway. The only enhancement you need is more fist.

You can juke the magic in amana by slowly walking left and then right. If you want bullshit homing magic try the white mages in tseldora. Their poo poo can loving pull 360's through doors.

Guys I think my character backfired. Went to visit straid in full butterfly armour. used the branch of yore and then alt tabbed out and sort of forgot I was wearing armour that poisons friendly NPCs. Only noticed when I heard him say "you dare to challenge me?" and then cast a spell. Whoops :I
