The stats for wielding a weapon stay the same regardless of upgrades. However if the weapon gives a stat bonus then improving that parameter will increase the attack power.

Wish I could be properly cursed by a gravelord for new suprises. This looks awesome.

It really is. The first time you open up all the shortcuts, and can stride through most of the world in one round-trip, it's pretty special.
I got a message once that my save wouldn't load and to start a new one, instead I alt-f4'd out and it was fine when I tried to load again.
I think the latest versions of dsfix also backup save data too
silver pendant + roll, bye bye magic.

Hey guys, are there any speed runs of Dark Souls on the net?

Not sure if there have been any PTD edition speed runs yet, but this one 1:26:28 one was famous for being one of the first complete speed runs back in the day pre 1.04. Most notably he use the overpowered pyromancy that has since been nerfed.

This 35-minute one might be post-patch, not sure. It uses a glitch on the ps3 version to skip to kiln after placing the lordvessel though, so it's not really a complete, legit run.

edit - oh cool, new 1.05 record runs, will have to watch those later

I tried everything I could think of but it's fubar'd. I've been playing with an older dsfix since it was working fine and I didn't see a need to update. Dumb mistake.
Oh well, it's my own fault. At least I've got a good general understanding of the game and it shouldn't take me as long to make up lost ground now. It's time for me to grab the latest dsfix and give it another go.
Not always, there are several places where NPCs invade you.
If only i knew the part before the 4kings earlier. T.T

well good luck everyone
this is an amazing game, but I just dont have the patience for it
its a shame there isnt a way an easy mode to experience the story because in my 20+ hours playing it, I didnt see a single interesting story element and no characters anywhere near as cool as maiden in black of demons souls (right at the beginning)
this is probably because the game is larger and they are saving cool stuff for later?
I tried a new dex character and couldnt do the capra demon, getting trapped in corners and having the camera spinning around annoyingly. the game is broken in tight spaces. also, I didnt find any regular weapons as cool for Dex as zweihander is for STR. I just ended up using the halberd again (like my SL 39 STR character)

Well, the dude behaved like a player... still killed me
Man is this mandatory? Not liking it.
If you are in hollowed form, you can't be invaded (but can't do co op either).
Yeah, not going human form ever again, same dude keeps invading me.

I just wanted to chime in and say FUCK MOTHER FUCK CAPRA DEMON YOU FUCKITY FUCK FACE MOTHER SUCKER.
hahahah, had kalameet down to like 2% HP, one more swing and he would die. For some reason I decided to "play it safe" and dodge his stomp attack instead of just swing one more time. Dodged the wrong way and died.
If its the same dude over and over again, its propably an NPC.

Unless the NPC invaders behave very different from other enemies, and weird names, I doubt it
I just barely survived this fight, it was a very stupid idea to take this screenshot but I still got him:

Where are you getting invaded, and what's the name of the invader?

Where are you exactly? Are you only getting invaded in that one location? It is unlikely that you will be invaded by the exact same player repeatedly, but there are a few (too few compared to Demon's Souls) red phantom NPCs and they do act differently from other enemies in the game (generally playing to their specific load outs).
Hahaha, 2 more tries and I got him to 20% and 5%... I always get too confident and then die to a very slow attack.
Undead Burg, shortly before the boss.
He or it was standing in front of me, doing nothing except strafing around and waiting for my first action.
The second time he (or it) backstabbed me out of nowhere.
Is there a way to sell/drop some of the stuff I have in the inventory? I have like 1000 items.

anyone?
There's more than jut a few strength weapons. But if you're using weapons that scale with dex, then no you don't need to worry about increasing your str beyond the minimum requirement for that weapon.
You can sell items to

One time I summoned someone to help me with Quelaag and managed to immediately run into a pool of lava and die. Once I made it back, I re-summoned the same person and put the shrug emote to good use.put my sign at capra, got summoned, we both bowed simultaneously, i went in and died in the first 2 hits

Goddamn this game is incredible.

Never have I felt more satisfied with a game. NEVER!
Just
defeated Kalameet and cut off his tail in the process. Proceeded to load up "You're the Best Around" on YouTube and used the Joy expression over and over in the deserted battlefield.

Had a ton of fun getting invaded in Dukes Archive earlier.
Disguised myself as a wooden podium using the chameleon spell and watched as the clueless invaders aimlessly searched high and low for me. One guy searched for over 30 minutes while I sent him "getting hotter" and "getting colder" messages.
Whenever the invaders got close enough I opened up with a Wrath of the Gods and then started to beat them down with my Balder Side Sword. Some of the most fun I have ever had in an online game.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Sure. You'll be able to get 20k souls in less than a couple of minutes while farming at the spot you get to.
EPIC!
Think of it as you killing the invader so hard that it scared the rest of the community away.
It is, but the way that the shortcuts open up in the Burg, there really isn't a need for another one. The next closest one would be the one that the dragon is guarding, which will also open up a shortcut that will make it easier to go through the Burg and the Parish at will.
There's another one at the end of the bridge provided you manage to survive the dragon's flames lol.

I just rang the second bell, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to enter the next area. Should I go?
Actually, I'll find out soon enough after entering I guess.
