Playing a purposefully difficult mode to judge if a game is difficult in general overall is a bit skewed.
LOL, it was actually two different players. One was up on a cliff spamming soul arrows and when he finally came down I got mauled by the elephant guys. Was that you?

I didn't make it that far, lol.
I saw him in the distance, grabbed my bloodstain and left.
I'm gonna finish up some of the areas I've got open, level up my gear a bit and come back.

What level are people fighting (boss spoiler)
at? I'm at SL95 and having a hell of a time getting summoned for co-op. I'm wondering if I'm starting to hit that upper level summoning wall people have been talking about.

So far no issues. Just need the wave of people to join ng +
When ng+ started it should have had a message " now real dark souls begin "

I don't care what anyone says, but, Dark Souls 2's graphics are really awesome.
Alright so I'm really struggling so far in this game. I played DeS about halfway through, but stopped for some various reasons, and then decided to pick this one up.
I'm currently on my third go-through so far, all three times with the Knight. I can only really make it about 2 hours tops into the game before I really start struggling, using lifegems, etc and basically screwing myself up. I know that 95% of this is me just not being used to the game at the moment and making dumb decisions, but I'm just real bad and frustrated right now. Any tips?

The lighting and colours can be really nice at times and the art style is second to none Textures are some of the worst around though

What is up with more than half of people carrying great swords? All the invaders and summoned carry this sword. I can't deal with these invaders with laggy connection hitting me with their great sword from miles away.

Goddamn those dudes with dreds in Shaded Ruins are such tanks.
Welcome aboard!
Earthen Peak has successfully aggravated me for the night.
Also, greetings, Souls GAF!
Welcome aboard!
I agree. I think people are disapointed because it was suppose to be even better. Even if it still looks, feels, and plays great.
But DS2 does look great. FROM SOFTWARE has been working miracles with the Souls games. Can't believe they made Vampire Rain years ago. lol

it definitely seems to be "in" right now
I think alot of them are new guys coming in, because their builds from what it looks like is basic besides the great sword and shield with basic armor...unless that is a build and I don't know it lol

One of these days, I'm gonna try a Souls games and go full on heavy-ish armor with a big heavy weapon. In all 3 games, I have been a very light character focused with magic. I might change it up when I replay some of the games. I'm so used to his playstyle, though. lol
The only thing DS2 has over DS is that the pacing, and environments for endgame are far superior.
I was pumped when I entered the castle, knowing the end was close.
And the pacing kept up with my expectation.
I still place DS over DS2 though due to better map design. DS: Everything is connected and led to somewhere, and intertwined with each others in a meaningful way.
DS2: Well fuck it, time to use homeward bone.

I always go with a tank first. Guys with lots of health and endurance to swing slow but hard. it's fun and feels like the proper Souls way. Get in close and personal

I went full defense with Havel's set along with his great sword and got destroyed by the invaders half the time back in DS1. Apparently, armor never helps during pvp in this game.

After finishing the game, I can't help but feel they went too far with the 'more bosses' thing; most of them are kinda dull. Still,
was amazing; more fights like that From and less fights that can be beaten by slowly sidestepping round the bosses' shield arm.

Also pretty sure the covenant areas might've been a bit more fun if I hadn't just Great Club R2 spammed every phantom, but oh well, there's always NG+.

So, in terms of graphics, how would you guys compare this game to its prequel? Better looking? (I don't really wanna spoil locations for myself by watching videos)

If I respec do I just get all the levels back to reassign? I hardly just get reset and have to work back up by farming. Just making sure 
Slightly better. It's largely the exact same but animations are nicer and lighting effects are nicer.

Pretty much the same as Dark Soul, in my opinion. Its been quite a while since i played Dark Souls though, but i didnt go "this looks much better than Dark Souls" when i played Dark Souls 2, but i might have forgotten how Dark Souls 1 looked like in details. I think both games looks great though

Some what better depends which area you are at.
Hell, that's my build. But I juggle weapons. Greatwords, and axes mostly. I find Magic Pew Pew distance builds boring.
Nothing more exciting for me than running up and chucking my giant ass blade in yo face!
they seem to have a hugue vulernability window after they do their huge spin atk
Well it's got capes that actually move, so I'm inclined to say that Dark Souls 2's graphics are objectively better by the only metric that matters.
Though they did squander them a little bit by
seemingly not letting you get the Old Dragonslayer's armor. You had a chance to give us Ornstein's tassel From, and you blew it.

Try to lure one out and go up the small stairs that you came down from (where the elevator is). Otherwise you can just run past them all if you have enough stamina.

Make the elevator go back up, lure them into the hole that's under the elevator. their swing attack makes them fall right into it and die

Is anyone else getting really bad lag on some pvp matches?
Game froze when I got summoned in a bell fight. Before the freeze characters were disappearing and stuff... thought my ps3 was dying.. hope that's not the case. It's been fine since.

This past fall I finally rolled a heavy character after years of DEX and INT builds in Demon's and Dark Souls. I loved it. I didn't miss dodging much when I could smash enemies into the ground. And the first time I put on a great shield and tanked a boss's best shot before staggering him with a club, I started giggling like an idiot. It was so much fun that I decided to make my first DkS2 character a STR build, which is going well so far.
Got it!
