I have trouble chugging Estus sometimes. I can't remember having trouble with the menu (35 hrs played). But the there's definitely a problem with input registration. Wouldn't call that lag, though.

Unequip the ring of whispers. Unless you mean something else.

No not that.
Just stand still for awhile. Turn up the volume if you must. You'll hear them.
Whispers are pretty loud at

It reminds me of the first Dark Souls, before they patched it. There was a strange input lag. I can't remember the specifics, but if you had just let down your shield and then tried to drink an estus, there would be like a full second delay. Something like that. It was an odd input lag that only happened in certain situations.
This game seems to have its own more rare input lag issue that I haven't pinpointed yet, but I notice it when it happens.

If you infuse a weapon before it's at it's maximum potential, does it stop you from reinforcing it later? I have a +4 Dragon Chime, and enough twinkling tits to upgrade, but it's greyed out?
Thanks
D'oh, nevermind, I read the numbers the wrong way around. Of course it's it's a reversed fraction.

I got 2x Mask, Top, Leggings and the Dagger in my first 10 runs, and then spent 50 runs without getting the Gauntlets. Fuck that shit...
You can call it whatever you want, but I'd be extremely surprised if you were not experiencing it. It's been a constant issue since release.

I'm planning on getting this on PC when it drops, can I beat the game as a dual wielding swordsman or does a shield become necessary at any point.

I didn't try it, but I read you can quit the game during the boss fight and start outside the fog gate if you're unlucky with drops. Unfortunately I farmed the whole set before I read that tip.
I got two sets of the gauntlets. Let's swap.

Almost feels like a memory leak that it happens more frequently the longer I play. One time it took like 5 seconds for the menu to pop up.

On input lag: would this be alleviated playing on VGA rather than HDMI? Just asking as I haven't noticed it.

What is the best kind of infusion for the Great Club +9 of my STR build?
I guess you're playing on the PS3 because input lag and controls feel a lot better on the 360 (probably because of the higher frame-rate with no v-sync) plus the menus load a lot faster (loadings are better in general when the game is installed) and there are no sound pauses/delays.
Having played both versions I'd recommend anyone who has both systems to at least try out the 360 version, it's much better than the PS3 version IMO.
Yep, almost always the VGA inputs have the least input lag. You will lose in IQ because most HDTV sets disable most of the picture settings at VGA though.
Some Samsung TV sets have a particular HDMI port (usually HDMI port 2) that when you enable PC mode on it reduces input lag by a good amount, I did that on my set and saw a noticeable difference.
Also guys now that I remembered about it be sure to open the DSII server ports on you modem/router for better connectivity, ports are:
TCP: 50000 - 50100
UDP: 50000 - 50100
Check you PM's, good sir.
The only thing I can find to complain about this game is the hitboxes and the general inconsistencies. I feel like I get used to the games rules, only for the game to break said rules a few tries later.
Im currently doing a SL1 run, and I am at the Looking Glass Knight. Ive been able to stun lock him before he summons a phantom... and other times it just doesnt work. Little things like that in addition to the hitboxes not making sense at times is something I hope they can patch... but Im not going to hold my breath.

Used a shield at beginning (started with Deprived) but no need for it at all NG+ forward at least which I've played as a dual wielder.
Offer still stands. I'm on 360, btw.
I've played most of the game with no shield and it's certainly a great way to play it. Some areas might be a bit easier with a shield, but they are still doable without it. Good thing is, when those areas come up, you can just equip a shield. Just because you're a dual swordsman does not mean you can't equip a shield when needed.
Beat it. I was having a great time until the final 20% of the game. I think this game was just too long for me and there were some questionable instances of hit detection.
I still think I liked Demons Souls the best. Don't regret my time with this game, not at all, but still disappointed.

anyone? :<
*Dragon Chime is the best one for pure faith build, but I'm not sure which is the best option if I don't go for that 50 faith and a more hexes oriented build.
For hexes? Chime of Want, Caitha's or Idol I guess. Probably one of the first two.

Invading the crypt when the host hasn't opened the shortcut pisses me off.
Invading in the hall before the boss when the host has phantoms is some of the most fun PvP I've had in this game though.

Sunset staff and chime of want. Since chime of want is end game gear use idol's chime until cathita chime.
k thanks, I'm in ng+ so I should have one of those.
and why do you guys care so much about the Shadow set.
I hate those pyromancers in the Lost Sinner fight.LOL, the worst thing about NG+ are all those damn Dark Spirits. They're everywhere. The worst one was a super fast guy with a giant hammer right before a bonfire. Killed me.

Alot of it is to do with just collecting everything possible. It being so rare, you want what you can't have etc.
I also, want it for PVP Build. Looks badass.

I kind of can't stand how many dark spirits there are in NG+. It's especially worse when they're a very easy spirit to kill, but they were placed right in front of a door or ladder. It's just tedious to have to deal with them all the time.

I cared about the top the most because it looks like some badass ninja gear. The rest of the set doesn't grab me (the gauntlets don't really match the outfit IMO) but I got it all while trying to get the top. XD
Thanks so much for that. I killed the frog that was really meant to be a boss?
Yeah, power stancing dual Avelyns is kind of cheap.
Yeah I'm watching boss videos of it wrecking face.. I'm a MLGS noob and with my 77 int and CMW and it might do that much dmg on a boss if I'm lucky.. Sadly too many bosses are resistant to magic so I have to switch to a Katana, Lightning Greatsword+10 or a Mastadon or Black Knight Weapon..
Sent you a PM, sir.

Yeah..great design, but super easy unfortunately.
Easiest boss in the game.
Power stance and Mundayne is what makes them boss... Other than that, they are overrated.. Kills your stamina bar..

I fucking hate Vendrick. I'm not finding him any easier on my second playthrough with a different character. I'm fine until he does his sweeping combo. The first hit stunlocks and drains 100% of my stamina when blocked or clipped whilst rolling, which basically means I'm dead because even if he only does 2 hits and not 3, the next swing is guaranteed to hit and takes 80% of my health and then I'm left scrambling to heal.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm guessing what I found is some sort of shortcut. Thanks!
Do you have all 5 Souls of a Giant?
