Oh ok good, might be because the servers are better tonight. This morning, every time I'd put a sign down, my character would get summoned almost instantly (and in the most weird places lol), but it would fail the second after.

I'm a dunce. Thank you
Are you mostly using weapons of the same class to get into the power stance, or dual wielding with different types of weaps?

Don't worry, you can get back in it to change back into male if you want, lol.

I invaded someone and was instantly ganked by three people. Not doing that again for a couple days
I just went back into it, seems it kept all my features in tact too.

Does human effigy have finite number in 1 walkthrough? As I have wasted 2 already burned 1 by accident and 1 to restore humanity.

I'm still having the same problems
I like the power attacks, so I only dual wield if they work. I can definitely mix axes and swords or maces, so I'm not sure what types mean, but yeah, I use the stance.

I'm beginning to think it's not an accident.

How do you use souls to level up? I'm not seeing an option at bonfires?
There's a chick at Majula. Maiden in Black of this game.

Load times in this game are easilt twice as long as they were in the first. Weird.
Welp, in the process of leveling myself up to wield the halberd I'm sure I'm knocking myself out of every conceivable co-op spot. I guess I knew that would happen. I don't really intend on making a devoted co-op character until the community agrees on a level range for that sort of thing.

Wondering this too. Any way to get them via co-op? Otherwise I'll just play the whole game at 50% health...

I'm going dual wield falchion
You're able to get into the power stance when mixing weapons? I thought it only worked with weapons of the same class (e.g. two daggers, straight swords, curved swords, etc).
Yes.

Goddamn this game is kicking my ass. It's so much tougher for me than Dark Souls because I used a guide and stuff to know where things were and what to watch out for. Exploring by myself and having everything be brand new.
Early enemy/boss (?) spoilers:
I love this game.
Early enemy/boss (?) spoilers:
I climbed up a ladder and suddenly a huge bird flew by and dropped a shiny-looking knight right in front of me, who proceeded to one-shot me after I dodged a few attacks out of fear. He didn't get an intro or a health bar so I assume he's not a boss, but holy shit did that come out of nowhere.
I love this game.
Finally beat my first boss,
. Wasn't too bad, came close on a few tries, finally used my first effigy so I could have max health then beat him on that try. Only afterwards did I find out that there was a second switch I could have hit that would have helped me a bit more lol.
Feel a bit directionless; I definitely need to level up but I feel way less unsure of what stats I want in this game as opposed to Dark Souls. In that game I just ran super light and parry/riposte'd everything to death, but that doesn't seem to work at all here with the changes to riposte. I may wind up going a mid-weight build or something, but having hard time determining what stats to level up now. There's two bosses that I can get to right now but the first literally one-shots me, and the second one (the one if you continue on past the one I beat above) is kind of a pain to get to since I need to run past most of the enemies on the way. I still need to explore the other path past the boss I beat, but other than that there's nothing else going on at the moment that I know about. Will probably need to grind out some levels, I may need to clear some more zones of enemies or something.
Also I found where you can check your deaths, I died 59 times today. I don't think I died 59 times in the entirety of Dark Souls. Sadface.

3 hours in, nearly 30 deaths and I have still yet to down a boss. I am not very good at this game.

Holy hell... that seems like a spike in difficulty right there.

I feel the same. It may change once you get high agility though
Late reply here but I totally agree. Especially when it comes to the healing items. The game is pretty steep with the learning curve too where I found DkS easier to manage early on.
Looks like they have a small chance to drop frim enemies. Also, getting summoned and defeatibg a boss will restore your humanity as well.
mmmmm how do you kick? lol
I died at them 3 more times :|
Finally moved on to find that regular enemies are much weaker, weird
Not really. Well it's like Demon's Souls but more forgiving because bonfires are more common.
It's mostly just an inconvenience. You can warp to her from any bonfire, so it's roughly the same as in Dark Souls, but requires an extra step (and loading screen).
This game is amazing!
The combat is definitely a step up and I swear it's so beautiful. The attention to the little details is also really cool like how your clothes actually get what and if you roll in the water your soaked.
Still working on my own skulls though. Need some practice lol

If they're tracking this then why can't it track your personal? Although I have been keeping count and it's been 8 so far. My first death was falling off the ledge in the very start of the game.

Well I died 4 times in the tutorial area.
Those Walrus dudes are no joke. The enemy attack tracking is definitely different. I'm going to have to get used to that.
But I found out what that coffin down there by the lake does! I was determined dammit!

If you go into Offline mode it does seem to track your deaths. I played online earlier and it was at 225k worldwide or something like that. Then I switched into Offline mode later when the servers died and it said worldwide deaths were like 44, and I checked a couple times after that and it always seemed to correspond with how many times I had died. I also played across 3 different sessions (quit game) so it does seem to track across sessions both offline and online.
I am doing the same thing and have no idea if I'm in the "right" place lol

anyone?
My gripe here is that the hub is so bad compared to both of the previous games. Add in the 45 second load screen and I'm kind of disappointed. I'm sure the PC version will look nice but there's too much saturation in the color palette.
