How long is the invasion clock for red phantoms? I've been fucking with this guy for a while and he's basically trapped. Been about 7 minutes so far.
that'll work, thanks.

As I expected, rolling into Huntsman's Corpse for the first time at soul level 120 made it almost feel like a regular AAA action game. Only boss I beat in one shot without summoning. Atmospherically though it might be my favorite area so far. Next area looks cool too.
I'm just glad to finally have reliable access to normal Titanite. Just upgraded my main weapon to +10 because of all the chunks I had waiting to be used because I had no normal shards.
Definitely should have come here earlier.

It has finally happened. Dark Souls has made me break my controller.
PVP makes my blood boil.

If you have Strike weapons upgraded well, then you will breeze through it. Slash weapons have a rough time there. You are overleveled for a good bit though, so nothing should be terribly challenging.
bring tons of arrows
If you enjoyed yourself, who cares?
I'm asking because all I've done in my entire (blind!) playthrough is upgrade one of the very first few swords in the game and I literally won't touch any others because of their comparably lower DPS and speed. I've never played a Souls game before so I didn't really know what to expect in terms of loot/equipment so I just upgraded my first sword and never really went back. Same thing for my large leather shield too, still rocking that after getting it in the first 4 hours.
I feel like i'm missing something.

^ Unless it's twinkling or petrified dragon bone... but normal titanite is plentiful.
Yup, stacking item discovery I once got twinkling + archdrake gear from those Archdrakes in Shrine of Amana.

Oh, moveset is everything man, and almost every weapon is viable. If you like the way it moves and the way it looks, upgrade it and never look back. Upgrading material becomes quite plentiful towards the end, so there's no need to worry too much about upgrading other stuff as long as you can afford it.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but have you guys seen this:

Basically, at 60FPS weapons degrade twice as fast, and enemy animations play twice as quickly (making dodging and criticals harder).

Twitch is such piece of shit. How do you watch it on ipad? Or the garbage app? Trash.
You might even be able to bypass it with a SM of 1 million. Just go to the shrine of winter.
Gyrm great hammer?

That's a terrible idea! He'd miss the ember if he did that.
I thought those super-quick animations were intentional, to kind of throw off your expectations.
Well get that then go there?

Yikes, this "bug" is more deeply entrenched than previously understood. I love From and Souls games, but this is very poor programming. I hope they are taking a good look at this and understanding how to fix it. I have no idea on the scope of the fix for this, but it may be too big to tackle without a serious rewrite of the engine.

Now I don't feel so bad to be unable to parry a single attack in this game.

why would the bridge to Undead Purgatory be a solid surface to walk on?

Dark Souls : Where walking on bridges isn't even safe.
It's funny because binding game speed, movement and animations to frame rate is like one of the first lessons you learn NOT to do when programming 2D games xD As an outside newbie programmer, the fix seems rather simple, just add a deltatime check to these issues, but who knows just how extensively game engine code can be changed :/
Wickfut, in case you're reading this: Why did you remove/remove the Lens Flare effects from your latest ENB?

Now:
As a SunBro, i considered being blinded by my summon sign a feature! (same goes for bonfires, torches, and other light sources, though).
On the other hand, i like the less intense DoF, i wish i knew how to mix the two.

First and second characters, in their final forms before (or slightly after, in the case of Cletus) going into NG+:

What's that set on the left Chief? It's puuuuuurdy!
Velstadt's legs and torso with engraved gauntlets not sure about the head.
The head is Navlaan's set.
Yeah. My jaw pretty much dropped. I was like "why is he bothering with a bow? Taking the time to equip it?" Then saw him do that. Wow.
The first time I saw speed runners parry and ballista the pursuer ranks up there too. And watching the dragonrider go down the hole was an "ah ha" moment for me too lol. I pretty much fought all the bosses straight up (except the Sentinels. I cheesed the hell out of that). Didn't even know you could do this stuff.

WTF From.
If've been playing hard mode all this time. No wonder some of these enemies seemed so fucking fast...
Yup.
Cletus:
Chaos hood.
Velstadt Torso.
Velstadt Legs.
Engraved Gauntlets.
DrakeKeeper Greatshield.
Mastodon Greatsword (though i'm looking to main the Demon Great Hammer, as soon as i get 5 more Twinklings)
Irene:
Mirror Knight helm.
Judgment robes.
Judgment gloves.
Throne Watcher legs.

I figured that out with luck on like my 3rd attempt.
Never have I felt like more of a trickster in a game.

Could a kind soul please post a screenshot of their character with the Executioner armour and the Shadow Mask on? I just want to see if I'm wasting my time trying to farm that mask.
I don't have the Shadow Mask unfortunately, but I find that the armor set looks nice paired up with Mad Warrior mask:
I've taken it upon myself to make the The Gutter infinitely more scary by invading people there.
edit: It's also very hard for invaders and sentinels to make it back to the 1st bonfire from the 2nd half of the stage. Not to mention how easy it is to simply hide from them in the dark.
edit2:.....annnnnd the sentinel that was looking for me as I typed this post just dropped to his death. LOL

Yikes.
Shame there is no ring of fog in this one. I suppose you could chameleon and hide as they rush round trying to find you. It's just not the same though.
Yeah that was exactly what I just did. I was standing 5 meters away from the 1st bonfire hiding in plain sight as an acid tank and the sentinel couldn't see me even though he was on the direct connecting platform.
What a massive fuck up
So, is there any way to easily transfer weapons between accounts?
I had a feeling there was something wrong with how fast weapons degraded in the PC version compared to the PS3 version. Was wondering what other things went wrong because of 60 FPS,

seriously?
Go to your enbseries.ini file and open it.
Change each part to the following and then save :-
[EFFECT]
EnableLens=true
[LENS]
IgnoreWeatherSystem=false
ReflectionIntensityDay=0.18 // the amount of pretty lights you see in daytime - higher is more
ReflectionIntensityNight=0.18 // the amount of pretty lights you see at night time - higher is more
ReflectionPowerDay=.2 // the trigger point of flare day time- lower is more
ReflectionPowerNight=.2 // the trigger point of flare night time - lower is more
DirtIntensityDay=0.0 // don't use those below, set 'em to zero
DirtIntensityNight=0.0
DirtPowerDay=0.0
