hey dsg, since it's possible to use CE to force invade, invade as a summon and invade as a darkmoon/gravelord etc using the red eye orb, do you think it's possible to invade all locations at once? For example, standing at firelink, use a red eye orb and invade all possible locations at once, which would mean faster invades, and being able to utilize the whole IP pool

Well that was an arduous quest after 30 mins of farming a green titanite, but I finally did it. This sword looks sweet as hell. Is it worth upgrading? So far my +5 Zweihander which I recently made Divine has worked great, but I remember reading something last thread about this sword not being too good. Also the catacombs are spooky as fuck, it's night here and the wind is howling, I was on the edge on my seat. I'm a pussy, I know

>>18264152 Not who you're replying to but I only got pissed at the invasions that were someone obviously twinking (Talking lightning weapons in the undead parish) because when you're legit SL15 with a +5 weapon at best there's no way you're surviving some vitgouge asshole with a lightning spear unless you're some kind of robot that exists to beat people in pvp. Other than that, it's kind of frustrating but meh. It's a game. And if I get invaded and die once, I can just stay hollow and not have to deal with it again if I'm really having issues with the area.

>>18264152 Well, first keep in mind that everybody has to be new at one point. I was pretty much exactly in your position on my first playthrough, except I don't think I actually survived any of my invasions other than ones I straight up bolted for the boss room from. Do I feel bad? In most cases, not particularly, though that depends mostly on what build I'm using. I know at the time it seems unfair as all hell, but when you get better at the game you realize that it never takes very long to get back what you lost. Plus, it always feels fantastic to beat an invader. Did it piss me off when I first started out? I think so. It's never particularly pleasant to be forced into pvp when you're trying to focus on pve, but it's part of the charm of DaS in a way. My first ever invasion was against a guy that spammed TWoP and WotG in the parish, so of course that was just plain awful. As for stories...I dunno. Which perspective would you prefer it from?

>>18264152 Sometimes I feel bad invading obviously new players who don't have a clue, but I don't often invade lower level areas so I don't see this so much.

When I used to get invaded I would think "Well, I guess I'm going to die now", it never really annoyed me though, I just wish I stood a chance. Eventually I realised that this was twinking and at higher levels I was on a much more even playing ground and could actually do some damage to these guys.

So, I finally can get Artorias of the Abyss for PS3 soon, so I'll be coming back to these threads. Making a new file for it, a good old fashioned SWORD'N BOARD'N paladin. Artorias was the same level suggestion as the other Lord Souls, yes? 60-70?

So me and a friend spent maybe an hour trying to summon each other, then summon our other friend who recently got the game after playing it pirated. We got to my first friends world, and when trying to summon the friend who just bought it, I was kicked out of the world. My first friend kept trying to summon me but we kept getting Failed to join session. When he summoned my finally, the friend who bought it recently was kicked out! I tried summoning the second friend and we couldn't connect no matter what. I can see his sign and I can try to summon him, but nothing works. What the actual living breathing fuck?

I spent 2 attempts doing nothing but dodging and healing, during which I familiarised myself with his moveset before taking him on for real. Kalameet took me even longer because well, we've never fought a real, proper Dragon in DaS before - Gaping Dragon doesn't really count as it's a colossal mutant. When I say it only took me such and such attempts, that's how long it took me before I felt as if I could realistically beat the boss. It's hardly bragging.

The conclusion I've come to is that you are bad at dodging, and miss the dodge in DeS, which was faster, moved your further, and quite possibly had more iframes than the fast-roll in DaS.

>>18269968 First off, if you're going to play it straight you will need the parrying dagger, so either get used to running through spooks until you get it or pack up enough transient curses. Your best defense is going to be fast rolls and only fast rolls, so if you're carrying anything heavy only use Havel's ring to compensate. After that everything else is pretty much in the painted world, you really don't have to go anywhere else except for the direct path through the game to go there. You can however use whatever non essential boss souls to level up with, and feed all your unused things that you can't equip because you are under leveled to Frampt for more souls. Darkmooning is difficult at lower levels, but once you get to around 70 you should see a good pick up.

>>18271054 Usually to land counterhits on people (to make the leo ring work) you'll need to trade hits with them. If the red tearstone is engaged, you can't trade hits. The leo ring and red tearstone are most incompatible, even in PVE. Besides, if you're going to choose when to trade hits you need to fast roll, and if you're going to trade hits without dying you need some poise anyway. So you can't even use the red tearstone with leo even if you knew you could survive one more hit.

Leo might be useful for pve, but you can easily one shot people with a successful riposte once you get the hang of it, plus if you pull off a backstab it really helps you to cut them down to size since the faster you kill off someone the more likely you will survive with that build. You have to hit hard and fast if you want to live since it will take you more of an effort on most people than they will have fighting you. This is why Chloranthy ring is very useful for you since you will be fighting against the clock every second you get you will be more likely to survive.

>>18271594 Well, if someone was dumb enough to make a faith build to begin with, they would do well to make it with a faster weapon that requires less stats, and can make better total usage of the 110 divine modifier. All facts involved are so far from smart SL use that I can't dare make a guess. Whatever build can make decisions like that and not result in trash is beyond my imagination.

And so, after making my way back up through Blighttown via the waterwheel and crossing through the Valley of Drakes I found myself in the ruins of New Londo. I made a quick detour to pick up the Estoc and the Firekeeper Soul, then continued back up to Firelink. And what do I find when I arrive, after reinforcing my flask? Why, Reah, Vince and Nico have gone missing. Petrus however, that scumbag, has returned. He's very good at lying and appearing sincere, however I saw through his deceit. He met his end, pierced by the sharp point of my side sword. So now I ask, what do I do? Do I press on to Sen's Fortress for the Rapier I've set my eye upon, or do I venture into the tombs and catacombs 'neath to rescue a priestess in need?

I kinda wish the Replenishment spell was different. It would be nice if it healed MORE HP, but the ticks were spaced apart. Say for example instead of healing 10 HP/sec, it healed, maybe 10 HP every 3 seconds for I dunno, 3 minutes? Or maybe 20 HP every 5 seconds for 5 minutes or whatever. And it would have more charges, as well. 5 instead of 2.

>>18275242 I think you're misunderstanding. The majority of the tracks in the game are baritone choirs singing a single syllable. The fact that some people like that kind of music doesn't mean that it isn't over used in the soundtrack. It's not "incredibly varied". I can remember the specific themes to most of the bosses because I've now heard them dozens of times, but as I said, the first time I played through I didn't even realize they were different. You can say that's a personal problem, but it's a problem I have specifically with Dark Souls, and I doubt I'm the only one. O&S's theme doesn't stand out to me much apart from the opening, and that only because I've fought them so often. Gwyn's is obviously a Piano sonata, Nito's is full of spooky screams so obviously it stands out, but I don't even remember Artorias's because I haven't fought him very many times. And regardless, I didn't say all the music sounds the same, I said nearly all the music sounds the same. A few tracks are very different, and a few tracks stick out despite basically sounding the same as most others, but overall the soundtrack is very samey.

And all that magic defense, but the only thing is, Wearing Big Hat will take my Poise down but that's alright I guess, I'll just use havels shield ability for that, right? That gives like 200+ poise

>>18276341 Right, that's what I thought. so I just jump down with the lordvessel without talking to him to side with Kaathe, right?

>>18276341 If Kaathe takes you and takes you into the LV room, just homeward bone out, join the Darkwraiths, give him 10 or 30 humanity depending on what you want from him, then go to Frampt. After you talk to Frampt Kaathe will disappear.

>>18276442 Good. I always love me some strength heavy armor users, I've just never seen a viable way to do it since Abyss Spammers, until using Havels shield the other day. It's ability is great and knocks peoples physical attacks back so it could give me an opening with such a slow weapon.

So, my philosophy is, if the host heals, I heal myself too with humanity. Anything wrong with that?

>>18276389 No. If you jump down and place the lordvessel by yourself both serpents will leave. Normally what you would do is kill 4kings, place the lordvessel with Kaathe, and join the darkwraiths. You could try what >>18276429 said, though.

Any fix to the console DLC texture flickering yet?

>>18276584 None. The claymore is infinitely superior to all three. You will never hit anyone with any of their r2s, and in the case of the Abyss, get backstabbed.

Okay so, I re-edited it. Giving me more magical protection and reducing my level + a bit more vit. How's this? Or just stick with the original + black hat? http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?b=Y2xlcmljLDQ2LDE0LDQwLDUwLDgsMTEsOCwzMCwwLDIwLDE1LDEzLDEzLDMxLDMs MTcxLDc2LDEyNSwwLG5vcm1hbCxub3JtYWwsbm9ybWFsLG5vcm1hbCwwLDU4LDQ2LDYxLDAsMCwwLDAsMCwwLDAsMCwwLDMsd29v ZGVuLHdvb2Rlbix3b29kZW4sYndvb2QsMQ==

>>18276708 I want to be a strength user that fucks up Abyss casters, so yes. I was just trying to get a build going that would work like that, that allows me to use havels shield too because it's ability is fantastic and knocks peoples attacks back giving me an opening for the slow powerful weapon.

Well! I have arrived in Anor Londo after acquiring Ricard's Rapier (forcibly, but it's mine nonetheless) and am now one step closer to completing my set of armour. I've decided to wear Havel's Ring until I can get enough END to put on the Ring of the Sun's Firstborn, as Havel's + RoFaP would allow me to mid-roll with my planned set even at my base END value. What should I do, DSG? Should I slay the leader of the Darkmoons, the abomination known as Gwyndolin first so that I may claim the Crown of the Dark Sun first, or shall I first slay the Dynamic Duo and take Ornstein's chestpiece as my own? Either way, you decide.
