I've got this, but unfortunately my account is locked due to it being hacked 3 times in one week, so I can't go online with it yet Really sucks.

Still, single player is more than enough to keep me occupied. Fucking skeletons.

Dang this game is fun.  I forgot that I was human and had someone invade while I was deep  (and completely lost) in the sewers.  I stabbed him a bunch of times with my stabby sword, took a few big hits and then rolled back and quickly drank a potion.  Then I ran at him stabbed him a few more times, rolled behind him and got a backstab, finishing him off.  Gained 6000 souls and managed to make it back to my campfire.

That was my first PVP experience in this game.    Ridiculously fun.

If the guy's name was Knight Kirk or some such then

he's actually an NPC event thing, you can get his armor by killing him in the three areas he shows up (one being the sewer). There's a bit more to it than just killing him, but I don't really feel like looking it up. I got the same encounter, but died shamefully to a surprise rat pack before I even saw him. How embarrassing!

Maybe,  I didn't catch the name.  He didn't seem to be fighting like the rest of the AI's though, so I suspect he was human.  Then again I was panicking and not thinking too clearly.

What weapons are you guys rolling with? I found a halberd and it's been amazing. It's fast, strong, and has good range. Only downside is it takes a ton of stamina.

Got in an arguement on another forum...

Apperantly a lot of people believe in the Darksouls world.

I actually find the fact that it is a world created to be a game even more blatant then in Demonsouls...

Not that it is a problem, I am just not going to vote for it to win any "world creation" prize. It definately has good levels, but not good as a "world"

I've been using a Black Knight Greatsword.

They believe that it....exists? What?


I tried out invading as a phantom. I ended up losing, but I managed to take out one of his blue phantom buddies, and the host himself wasn't very healthy by the time I checked out. Given that it was three on one, I think I did alright.

They believe that it....exists? What?

They believe that as a gameworld it is lifelike and believable.

Which to me goes out the window once you get to Seth >_>

I'm not exactly sure you can apply those concepts to a world that is outright described as some sort

of giant prison for the undead, full of smaller prisons for more powerful undead.

I have to say I feel like I'm missing out on something.

I have absolutely no idea where to get a lightning or fire weapon, or the katanas, or pretty much any of the upgrade stones.

Mind I also can not for the life of me get past any area available to me after ringing both bells.


Meanwhile I keep seeing bloody level ten guys running around in the robes with lightning whips and spears and giant fire swords and all manners of fuck.

I'm using an Estoc that I affectionately call my stabby sword.  I'm really enjoying it, and I can keep my shield up while stabbing with it when fighting against weak/slow enemies.

The Tauros Demon, he 'back-dodged' to an early demise when I faced him.  Super easy and unintentional, did I lose a drop or something?

Also, skeletons, damn the skeletons.  Its interesting, I've found a few different zones from the starter, one seems to be me going the wrong way, technically...

I want to play it soo much! but honestly the game scares me. It loves to eat unoptimised characters for dinner.

Eh, its probably not THAT important to optimize unless you are playing the multiplayer bits.  Both with demon Souls and dark souls I've kind of put my points wherever and it seemed to work out.

As long as you've got enough strength/dex to wield something better than a dagger the rest is mostly skill. I'm not sure how magic heavy builds work out with the way magic works in this game, though I've seen some PVP magic builds that work well. Regardless of build, once you get to the blacksmith you can +5 a weapon you like and it'll make your life much much easier for awhile. You can also pick up some very nice armor from the knight enemies around the church, though the drop rates are a bit low unless you've got stock-piled humanity.

[Zangi]

Personally, I'm going for the jack-of-all-trades build, but havn't branched into faith yet since I don't need anything from there.  Optimized, yea for jacks, but not optimized to use X item or whatever.  But, I'm probably going to keep my vitality and resistance at its default... well, keep it low.

You can definitely optimize for magic/faith/strength/dex weapons and what-not... your choice tho.

How in the ruddy fuck do I beat the black knight in the undead burg? I must just be crap at this, as everyone else seems to be managing it. I'm a pyromancer with a spear and wooden shield. No matter what I hit him with, it only ever takes off like 10hp whether he's blocking or not. I am unreasonably angry at this game
