Matlock Birthmark posted:I've heard dual-caestus punching build is fairly decent, while on the other hand I've also heard claws are not very good at all. Don't remember the exact thing behind but it's something to do with the fact that while the Caestus is techinally a fist weapon it differs in some gameplay way (maybe just the damage type since it's strike based) from the other fist type weapons which all happen to be claws.

Genocyber posted:The real reason you're not getting much action is because no one is getting invaded. Because it's so time consuming to get red orbs in ng, it's very rare to be invaded by a red (I think I've been invaded by reds in ng a total of 5 times in my several hundred hours of play). Even then the Way of the Blue/Blue Sentinel relationship is pretty borked and unrealiable. Unless you get really unlucky you don't have to be worried about being invaded, more so this early in the game's release well that is until you walk into one of the Belfries  Saw a guy already walking round with the full Bell Keeper's set at the bonfire.

So wanting to confirm this, your invasion/summon name is now tied to your actual character name as apposed to your account name? Can I call my character Bert The Soup Chef and invade people with dual Ladles

Al-Saqr posted:So I just defeated The Lost Sinner and I seem to have reached a dead end in the whole area, is that it? do I turn around and start heading towards the the heildes towers of flame? Heide's Tower of Flame is just an alternative route to get to The Lost Sinner. You should go through it and the next area for some neat items. Also did you go to the end of the area? There should have been a chest and a bonfire which you should light, there's also an item in the chest which you should read its description.

Wanna say after doing my first run through on the console using the Heide's Sword as my go to weapon for the majority of the game (it's the Drake Sword, but it never actually drops off!), doing a playthrough on the PC and using a Mace is insane. It's so good, I underestimated all the praise it was getting but it's amazing. If you're running a strength character grab a Mace.

Cardiovorax posted:Like I said, I think it's unfair in a way that Dark Souls 1 wasn't. There's a difference between being harsh and dropping a dozen enemies on you from a blind angle that you had no way of noticing beforehand. There's one instance of this in particular in the Harvest Valley which made me tell the game to gently caress right off.

Kimmalah posted:After the Lost Sinner, you can use the Fragrant Branch of Yore to un-petrify someone. Either that woman blocking the path or that dude in the Bastille who will trade for boss souls. It's kind of your choice, the path being blocked is kind of a dead end until later in the game when you have the four souls and another big item. That ain't entirely correct, you need to go down that path to get to one of the four souls. Manatee Cannon posted:Wait, you only get one and have to pick? Well, poo poo. You get mutiple, don't worry.

RBA Starblade posted:This lack of shards/large titanite shards is starting to bug me. I have 40 chunks of titanite, and want to stop using the fire longsword, but it's better than the rest of my stuff because I put all my shards into the longsword and sorcerer's staff. I can only use a handful of other weapons at 16 str/10 dex, but I don't want to level up yet because I can't use those other weapons anyway. I feel like in DS1 I had way more options far earlier when playing as a battlemage, until I settled on the furysword. Personally I like the fact at the start of the game you only have a limited amount of things you can upgrade, but I can understand why it would be annoying. If it is REALLY bugging you, start going through Huntman's Copse and the areas after that, which can be accessed after doing Heide's Tower of Flame.

You know, being Ratbro'ed is annoying as hell but actually doing the Ratbro'ing is amazing experience. Everyone needs to do Ratbro'ing at least once, it likes you're leading your own strike team that get to be giant assholes and mess with people. I can't think of any game that lets me lead a party of rats, dwarves, and elephants. Oh and base building as well, it's great

The armour merchant in Majula sells it after you've bought some of his wares. The more you buy from him the more his inventory grows.

They seemed pretty gimmicky in the first other than that lovely aoe stun everyone spammed in PVP. Wrath of God is still as bad as ever, it's just stupidly hard to get now  All magics got a bit of an overhaul and are more useful now, you won't be sniping people with lightning spears (well you can actually) but you can throw them like no tomorrow.

LOCUST FART HELL posted:Are red spirit invasions more rare in Dark Souls 2? I've been playing for a while now (doing earthen peak and shaded woods) and haven't had a single invasion as of yet. Soul Memory kind of made random invasions less common place in DS2, most PvP is done now in either the arenas or the few PvP related areas. From what I've read this will change once you reach NG+, I've played the game for about 100+ hours now and I have only gotten invaded by a red phantom twice.

turtlecrunch posted:Can any lore wizards conjecture some significance to these bird/Horus statues in the Heide Tower/COB? Easy, bird statues are Velka. Velka was the god that hunted down sinners in DS1, Blue Sentinels hunt down sinners in DS2, Sentinels have their roots in Velka. Boom. More proof for Velka, Pursuer rides around on a big raven, he hunts down sinners. Basically birds = cops in Dark Souls lore.

I've been getting some strange graphics bugs which I'll screenshot for reference, not anything like giant purple blocks floating in the air. Just things like on the opening screen all the online information details are overlapping eachother and the face pictures for people I try to summon are replaced with big ol' text and numbers. I haven't modded my game by the way, but this only started happening for me once I met a hacker online.
