I've only gotten to play a good two hours tonight, but that's enough for me to say that I fucking love this game. I chose deprived and have gotten my ass kicked quite a bit due to that choice, but I'm still having a blast wandering around and getting sucked into the beautiful world and music around me.

I wish I could keep playing this all night long and all of tomorrow. Damn job and responsibilities!

Forest of Fallen Giants treasure question:

At the trapped house near pate, is there a hidden area? I saw there was a message about a false wall but not seeing it (pun intended).

That may have been my sign. What you want to do is
mash X/A while hugging that wall. It'll open a small door.

Hey so I am kinda confused on ADP for leveling up, should I spend points here to increase rolling and drinking the flask?

Similar to resistance but you also get Agility from it. With Agility, your roll gets increased invincibility frames and makes your roll faster. It also increases your Poise up to your Endurance level.

Agility stops at 38 ADP.

So what's a good class to play? I started as a warrior, and ended up getting to the first boss, only to end up doing a rage-quit-save-delete. I finished both Dark and Demon's Souls, but I just don't have the patience for this shit anymore.

I got it to 20 and I'm not seeing a big difference in speed. Wish I'd spent it on strength or dex instead.

Maybe diminishing returns? Although people have said that 20 is the soft cap, so I dunno.

Swordsman starts with a miserable 6 in Adaptability, and getting it to even just 10 made a very noticeable difference to me. The startup delay on the roll-dodge was a killer.

Man, the performance of this is juuust enough to bug me and make me wish we could easily have cross compatible PS3/PS4 games as a standard thing. Or magically just make them all work with added performance on PS4, whatever.

Still! It's clicking with me after some time, seems like some of my favorite games are the ones that take awhile to warm up to me, to the point where I'm wondering why I'm even supposed to like the game in the first place.

So 20 is the cap for adaptability? Thank god I didn't raise it further yet.

Treasure chests:
Welp, I destroyed like 4 treasures chests. Didn't realize breaking them turns the item into rubbish.

Maybe you should try either pyromancer or sorcerer if pure melee not doing it for you?

Alright - at least I'm not alone. Sucks both this and Titanfall are inaccessible :(



You should really spoiler tag that - even though it's stupid. Now I know not to kill some treasure chests lol.

Titanfall too!? That's what I was going to switch to haha...ugh

I'm playing on 360, and I can't connect to the online. Not Live, but the Dark Souls II online.
It was working fine earlier, I could see messages, bloodstains and ghosts but then it just quit so I took a break for like two hours and it still is not working.
Anyone else having this, or has gotten this and knows a fix?
Apologies if this has been asked 100x I don't really want to gaze at the thread in fear of spoilers

I played melee in both previous games and had a blast. I think it's the max health deduction for each death that's making me not enjoy it. Or the game just isn't designed as well. I want to like this game so much, I just don't.

Im sorry to ask this question but is there online Co-op in this game? I've never played the previous game or Demon's Souls.
Click to expand...
Yeah sorta I guess.

... Actually, sorta is somewhat apt. It's absolutely there, and is a major thing, but it's by laying down signs for random people to summon you. You can try to game it and play with friends to an extent at least in the prior two games, but it's meant to encourage strangers working together, not hooking up with a bud and rocking through the game. And you won't be able to summon in areas you beat the boss of for the most part if it's like the last two games (nor will you be invaded in those areas.)

Side note, i saw summon signs at the beginning of an area even though i had already beaten the first boss. So idk
