I think the biggest thing I'm going to miss from DS1 and 2 is that 3 is already out so we aren't going to all swap bad/not-quite-accurate information trying to work ourselves along the whole time. That was the best part of DS1 for me, especially in the broken multiplayer dark times on 360 DS1. An hour and a half for one summon at Ornstein and Smough! :allears:

i've at least managed to avoid being spoiled on anything besides gameplay mechanics (which aren't spoilers) and the very start of the first area so im happy with that

Has anyone been having crashes around lit bonfires? I didn't have any performance troubles until then, and I have two linked GeForce 770s installed. But the game basically crashes as soon as I load up my file, simply because a bonfire is near.

everyone who isn't a knight or have lighting set to low is having that issue

Well that'll be a fun way to do some character creation. Ah, well.


Is it the armor? Like, if you take off your Herald armor, do you still crash? Or is it somehow tied to your actual class selection?

And is it at every bonfire, or just that first one?

every bonfire, and taking off the armor didn't do anything at all, still crashed

So if you die as a red phantom in this game, you lose all your souls and they don't get left as a bloodstain. Kind of sucks since you can't just looking invasions while exploring unless you don't care about souls.

uh, i've definitely retrieved my souls from a bloodstain after getting killed while invading

also being in lord of cinder form when you invade, get summoned, or otherwise join another player's world does not let you keep the HP bonus while there afaik

just a regular +6, no infusions.

So why do my summoned phantoms sometimes not have the ability to walk through fog doors to fight the boss with me?
Kind of dumb to have to fight a boss with extra health and none of the benefits of the people jerking off outside the boss room

i think figured out the problem and solution. you have to wait until they sync up with you. i was experimenting with a friend who summoned me and when i joined his game he nor the enemies had animations and going in the fog door wouldn't let me in. when we waited for the animations to kick in on my side i could always go through the door 100% of the time.

I think I might have just gotten it, you need to kill 3 lords or cinder or do the skip to do dancer early, then kill consumed king for the gesture and use it next to the meditating dragon in the jail

yea i've been there but do you have a specific location of where the ash is?

Ok I"m taking a break because goddamn that area was just brutal.

Spoilers of course.

Manage to find that dragon area and hooooly poo poo jesus is it brutal. Those goddamn snake are a pain in the rear end with the schotel or whatever it's called. I killed the boss (it was more of a puzzle fight but it was fun) and then next area is just some rear end in a top hat who keeps summoning drakeblood knights who hit really drat hard. After all that I find those crystal lizards big bros (not the big titan) who spew out fire. And another goddamn dragon who flies and trys to torch my rear end. I make it all the way through only to find another rear end in a top hat summoner and I lose to a naked guy with a rapier and a crown. Haha.

that is probably the hardest area in the game, i think. it's absolutely brutal the entire way

:3: the greatest game of our time, a work of art really

dark souls is one of the very few series that somehow manages to be both extremely horrifying and extremely adorable at the same time.
