Just updated, and I'm able to put my sign down and get summoned no problem.

I would avoid going down the hole in Majula for a bit personally - it's not a very fun place, lol. If I were you, I'd go to the Heide Ruins and progress there some. It will also lead you to a really handy ring (
Ring of Binding - you lose a lot less health upon being hollow
The Gutter is a masterpiece compared to the next area.
I ran past them, dropped down and opened the door at the bottom. It leads to a bottomless pit but if you spawn at the blacksmith and take the right at the top of the stairs you can jump into the now open door to where the ladder is. Climb up and you can sneak past the whole lot of them with no risk ( apart from the jump in the first place)
I am still unable to summon anyone.
This game is really pissing me off. I guess its time to take a break.

Holy shit, Chloanne (ore merchant) pretty much revealed that
I hope the games expands on this topic. It was such an interesting tidbit of lore to get from an unexpected source.
all of the Souls games exist in some kind of nether region. She claims that the land of Drangleic has seen the rise and fall of many kingdoms whose names have been lost to history. It is likely that these old kingdoms she's talking about we're called Boleteria and Lordran.
However, if this is true then it means that the way people came to these ancient kingdoms was the same. It becomes clear by talking to NPCs that they don't have a clue how they got to Drangleic. Like we see the protagonist do in the opening cinematic, they too were undead who wandered to a portal to Drangleic as if drawn by an invisibleforce. When characters in the game talk about the kingdoms they hail from, they're talking about places in the real world that are inaccessible from Drangleic - they exist on another plane of existence. However, once in this world of the undead, they create a new history that forms the lore of all Souls games. This is why the flow of time is distorted in all of the games, why heroes from different times wander in and out,
This also explains why the games are so fucking hard and dark. The curse of the undead isn't that you're going hollow, but also that you have to do it in the world of a Souls game.The reason souls games have intimidating atmospheres is because they take place in Hell.

Great, just ran through that area real quick. Thanks for telling me about the holes. I would have probably fallen to my death, which I almost did, lol. I guess it's back to
The Shrine of Amana.

They drop from the dwarfs in the Doors of Pharros area. Pretty high drop rate too. Equip the merchant hat to make it go faster.

Yeah, it's pretty interesting. SO many NPCs talk about
how they don't remember how they got to Drangleic. I'm not sure if the areas of Drangleic were once Lordran, but I wouldn't be surprised since several npcs talk about the rise and fall of kingdoms on the land.
haha nice. I was honestly pissed when I fell and died because I had to kill those annoying enemies again. D:
Bless the Sorcery.
Based on the progression through Drangleic, I can say with 100% certainty that
Drangleic and Lordran are one in the same. There are too many parallels in the world layout for it not to be the case. With that said though, I don't think the same parallels can be made to Boletaria...
Ahh ok, got the merchants hat already so time to try my luck! Thanks.

Ha ain't that the truth. Short, bur certainly not sweet at all. I think I had the most deaths so far in the game just getting to the boss there. Loved the luminescence though.

Hmm, I don't feel like I'm doing enough damage... What spells do you use mainly? And how many attunement slots do you have? And what weapon? If you don't mind answering. :x
Oh interesting. I didn't even really think about it like that. I can definitely see some parallels.
I actually think the area is really beautiful (in a kinda creepy way). But the stuff they do in there... ugh. The designer of that area was obviously having a shitty day. Thank god it's fucking short. xD

I respec into my final hex build and of course I can't invade for shit. Using cracked blue eye orbs and getting so many time outs and such.
Well, used a soul vessel to go int for a bit. 50 int, Soul Geyser with 14 simpleton's spices applied, and a +5 Magic Staff of Wisdom. Each cast took down

A few tips:
Equip Flame Quartz Ring.
Equip Pyromancy glove and buy the spell Flash Sweat. (you get this spell from freeing the
girl npc on the way to Shaded Woods. She sells it. She will also move back to Majula if you give her a set of armor to wear (any will do). Also, don't open the Shaded Woods door where she was because you might accidentally kill her (since enemies bum rush you when you open it).
If there's any water around (sometimes in vases or through using a pharros contraption), stand in the water for a second (water on the feet gives you a shit ton of fire resistance for about a minute or so), then race to the lava. Pop on Flash Sweat, and use a lifegem. Runnnnn! If need be, use a flask.
Ah, cool thanks! I forgot I picked up Soul Greatsword earlier today. I should that one out.

I think the G
was a really cool area. Proper use of the torch mechanic, devilishly placed poison statues, and some pretty rough enemies.

I agree, I think it was one of the highlights of the game. I managed to miss both bonfires so the experience was really tense for me.

Oh lord. So no easy fix like DS1?

There's no lava ring if that's what you are asking. xD
Never once had an issue putting down a summoning sign and typically had no problem summoning people either. Sometimes I'd gave a "summon sign disappeared" notification when I tried to summon someone but it wouldn't take too long before more popped up. After downloading 1.02 and playing for a couple of hours, I can't do shit. Summon sign fails all the time and I haven't seen a single summoning sign appear since.

Hidden walls work differently this time
Press 'use' when facing the wall ('A' on 360, I think 'X' on PS3?)
Bamco is apparently looking into it, according to the community manager who is active on reddit. Hope this gets fixed as soon as possible..

Final boss beaten earlier today, but before going to NG+ I have a lot of farming and getting some items plus doing 3 optional bosses I still need to kill.
Took me something like 97 hours (SL151) to get to this point, I took my sweet time exploring and killing enemies.
I really really loved the story in this one, a real treat for DaS1 lore fans. Though I think the end cinematic is less "good" than DaS1, or at least I felt there was a better "closure" to the ends of DaS1.

Killed
wasn't too bad. Had a pretty good shield and was doing decent damage with just 4 giant souls. Can see how it can be a pain with other builds that can't tank him. Do I get anything else other than the trophy for beating him? I don't think I saw anything pop up.
