I love Pokken!
The more i play this game, the more i think Bamco/FROM should have used Alva's Armor Set to promote the game instead of Faraam Set

I think it'd be fun if every single time I got summoned it wasn't just some guy who spammed magic from above and hid behind toxic rats the second I got close.
Maybe on the PC version or a new character I'll set up my own little fun house and just watch people try to beat it while in chameleon. Can't really do it now at least until NG+ because my soul memory is far too high.

Manikin Mask is pretty creepy.

It's straight up:
It broke my heart that the Faraam set isn't available until later in the game. So much for it being the new fluted/elite set.
NG+ seems like a better experience all together this time. The few areas I used a bonfire ascetic in made them extremely fucking hard. Forcing hardcore PvP to NG+ doesn't seem like the worst idea in the world since you can always respec, and the people most likely to be into that sort of thing are going to be dumping tons of hours into that game anyway.
Also, did they completely cut the white-masked enemies from the initial reveal trailer? I don't remember seeing them at all in the game.
What? Faraam looks badass, they chose the best armor to showcase the game with. Even though the stats suck in comparison to Vengarl's (and I would know, it's still worse than Vengarl's at +6 on each piece), I wear it because it looks so badass.

I'm pretty sure it's not one-chance, its just that if the barrels kerplode, you're gonna have to carve your way through again and try with a fresh batch. A few of them can be "pushed" sort of. Its subtle enough that I don't think I would have found it normally, except in a chaotic accident.
Near the eagle entrance, hang a left at the tower where the NPC lady is and lure out the enemies in that area so that you fight them away from the barrels. Ignore the ramp leading to the Ruin Sentinels for now and keep pressing along the walkway. When you see a barrel in the center of the walkway, kinda nudge it a bit... There is also another minor secret right after that involving a torch.

I'm having that same problem; it lists the bonfires I have never lit with question marks above them.

So my raw broadsword has served me very well, but I think it's time to retire it for something a bit better. What's a hood option to upgrade to? I have around 30 strength, but can respec with some dexterity if needs be.

i made it into drangleic when the patch hit made it to the first fog gate. summons werent working and i couldnt quit the game by normal means either. i fought the boss died. force quit and came alive stuck at the first bonfire with the door locked behind me. make my way back to the castle
the main gate is closed again and the enemies you have to kill to open the door no longer spawn.

What are the limits of red-eye orb invasions this time? Same as DS1, infinite up and limited down?
well i beat the game as a dex melee with a couple of pyro spells and after i beat the game a i respected (thank god they added it this time around) to a pure int caster and omg..... talk about easy mode, i used the bonfire things to respawn the bosses and facerolled them all even on 3x difficulty

It's just showing you guys where and what you may have missed and will be doing in the future. Don't know why it's like that, but it's nice because I've gone back and revisited some places looking for missing bonfires.
Was like this pre-patch, it's definitely meant to be in the game.

aren't there two soldiers who infinitely spawn there?
The fight is simple but frustrating, I had quite some problems with him as well. This is how I did it (with help from GAF).
You fight the first sentinel a top the ledge. I always tried to walk in circles around him via the right side (trying to get in his back). When he does the 2-hit combo you can hit him 1-2 times. Just make sure you always have enough stamina to block at least 2 blows from him. You can easily do this without taking damage. Use your flasks if he falls down. After he's dead the second one will jump on the platform. You can easily give him about 4-5 blows before the third one jumps on the platform, as soon as the third one arrives jump away.
After that you'll have to fight them together. Just make sure they're always in front of you. Try to line them together, so they'll attack at the same time so you won't be surprised by a hit (most of the time you won't, but it's better for sure). Just always make sure you hit them when they have a cooldown / are far away. I'd recommend leaving enough stamina to withstand 2-3 blows at least. Take your time and keep enough stamina. Evade / protect yourself against the shield they throw, they'll 1-hit you without a shield up.
Sometimes you can have a bit of bad luck when they both throw their shield or do the jumping attack. It might take a few tries, but it will get easier. After the second one is dead it's a piece of cake. Also be careful with flasks, I got owned quite a few times while drinking...
Goodluck!

ah ok.
so i have 4 areas before the one i'm currently in. does that mean i missed something?

I agree that Faraam set is baller as fuck, but the Alva set is more reminiscent of EKS and Fluted set. It screams "Souls" more than Faraam IMO.

I've never been summoned....ever from Way of the Blue. Best bet is to used Cracked Blue Eye orbs. After I joined, all those big stone guards around Heide's started dropping them.

It's straight up:
I've been rolling with it ever since I got it. I kinda love it, and nothing else has really replaced it.
Did you try a bonfire ascetic, or is that what you mean by bonfire reset? It would be annoying doing it on a higher difficulty, but it's better than not being able to do it at all.

Yeah same here. Like 50-60 hours in between two characters, zero summons from the way of blue.
Also never was invaded by a dark spirit. Making me think maybe something weird is going on with the server.
You probably missed a few optional areas, it's definitely worth going back and checking out.
True, true. I think either would've worked fine.

Never thought id say this, but this game is just way too long.
Ok, that's good, but it doesn't change the fact that soul memory is a bad idea to prevent invasions in NG. One limitation is enough.

Any suggestions on the Undead Crypt boss?I don't do that much damage to him when he goes into Magic Mode, and the summon seems to always die around that time

Does this still count towards ranking up in Way of Blue too?

The road to platinum trophy seems daunting.
What kind of an a-hole came up with this garbage? 
Either grind yourself silly with covenants (summon sign failed) or beat bosses in NG+4 for spells?
