Has there been a patch yet ? Because I just bought the game for my 360 and for some reason it's saying my "console can't connect to xbox live" without any explanation. I didn't change anything to my set up. It isn't even trying. I never got this problem before. Didn't turned on this piece of shit for a month only.
 
Am I screwed if I forgot to buy the blacksmith key from the merchant at the bonfire in the giants world? She disappeared after I defeated the first boss
giant
so I think I may have to start over unless there is some other way to get the key

If you talk to her enough times she will relocate back to majula.
 
Failed to create summon sign here as well. Either their servers are wonky or something is up with that patch. I hope they'll fix it soon.
PS3 EU here. Tried everything, restarting game/console and allowed/restricted cross-regional play. Finally got to the first boss in the castle as well...
 
Anyon else feel like there are way too many quality weapons in this game? As a str based character I didn't find that many options unless I would seriously invest in either dex or one of the caster stats. So far only the clubs and the greatsword seem to be mostly str focused to me. =/

Same to both errors - patching and otherwise. How annoying, I just upped the level of a bonfire and was about to MP for the Paledrake Soul. Guess I'll just use the mostly useless NPC.
 
Am I the only one having serious issues with pressing buttons and nothing happening? Even worse so than in DS1. The lock on is also ridiculously wonky at times.

They have changed lock on range guessing for reasons when game was focused on whole torch aspect. It obvious when in dark areas you can barely lock on

It's probably because of the stupid menu icons. Sometimes it takes like 5 seconds for the menu to appear when I hit start becuse it has to load so many icons at once I feel. O.o

Lock seems the same as ever to me though.
 
the moveset on some of the weapons feels like it has gotten worse


especially the sycthe it doesn't make sense, you just swing wildly without control
 
So anyone else getting a HTTP Status Code: 503 error thingie when trying to download the 1.02 update right now? The internet whispers is a server-side error, so I venture to guess it's just the hour and the wave of people climbing one on top of each other to get to the game.

Someone else having the same issue will help with confirming it. Otherwise, I have to put on my tinkerer hat and see what the hell's going on.
 
What miracles should I be aiming for as a STR/FTH build? So far I haven't put any points into faith or attunement, but I'm going to start now that I'm at comfortable melee levels, just wondering how many slots and what max faith I should aim for...

Same for me. I just had to take the ethernet cable out to be able to play.
 
According to Namco Twitter, it's likely due to everyone patching the game and to wait it out in 10-15 min

However that was nearly an hour ago.

The Lightning Bolts are still pretty nice, great heal is good, Divine Thunder is kinda like a firestorm spell just with lightning strikes. Pretty fun to use here and there but it's pretty risky. I'd say go for at least 3 slots at 16 attunement.

Phew, great to know.

Oh, and just now I pressed on cancel in the you-got-a-patch window - and the game started in Offline mode. Saved me a trip to have a discussion with the cable.

Cheers!

I've gotten some pretty bad menu lag but i assume that is common. I was talking more about when the game just mysteriously eats a button input during combat or the occasional input lag. It's not a huge deal but im noticing it quite a bit more than in DS1.
 
Ragequit against D
arklurker
.

Jesus fucking christ. Nearly got him one time as well.

Losing a goddamn effigy every time you have to fight him hurts as well. I ain't made of effigies, old man!
 
So I'm on the quest for the last/4th great soul soul and is the
Dranglic Castle
some end game stuff or something? The bonfire lady makes it sound like I shouldn't go and it is kind of an imposing place.
 
Keeps timing out when I drop my summon sign, and even although others are appearing in my game they never work.

Might have to do this spider boss solo :(
 
BTW, i've been dual wielding a dagger in my right hand, and staff/miracles in my right.

I'm going full on magic build, but i just got a notched whip.

What do you guys think: should i replace my dagger with a whip? Would focusing on DEX to wield a whip be a bad idea? What kind of damage can i expect outta this thing?

Had the same problem. After trying a few times it's now downloading.

It didn't seem to be limited to Dark Souls II.
I started up GTA V which I haven't played in months just to check if it could update and got the same error

You're SUPPOSED to go
after the four souls are gathered, so if you want the fourth soul go get that first.
However there's some treasure there you may or may not want to pilfer before running back, such as
Faraam set, the game's iconic set that you can find near the beginning albeit after a bullshit area
so it may be worth checking out briefly.
 
Anyone?Should I talk to Gavlan in No Mans warf?

Just make sure that if you do, you buy what you want from him and sell him any items you want to get rid of, that first time you talk to him. After you've talked to him once, he moves to another level and you won't see him again for a while. I messed this up on my first characters playthrough.
