Quick! Ban Him!
I haven't either. Probably a good thing as I really suck right now.
I haven't either, and some others have said that as well. I think Jobbs said he got to level 60 or something and didn't engage in PvP even once. Not sure what the deal is with all that.

I haven't either. Never even got a "failed to join session" message of someone trying to invade me.
I haven't been invaded yet.
Even the First of the Dead has to fear wheel skeletons.

I've always wanted to try this series. Is demon souls a good starting point? I have it from PS+ and would have to clear a bunch of space to be able to download it.

LMAO. I didn't know some mobs were carrying atomic bombs.
Me and 2 other guys got nuked at that place with the turtle guardian and 2 (annoying) mobs that just stand above throwing shit at you. I have no idea what the hell just happened but we almost got insta-killed by that explosion.
Also, what are the silky & smooth things for?

I havent either. I think 99% of players are just trying to make it through. Once people beat it/figure out game mechanics/find appropriate covenants we'll start to get invaded. I expect it by this weekend.
I think PC launch will also have more invaders, since the double dippers will know what to do, where to go, what to level, what items to get, etc.
The black barrels littered on the ground contain gunpowder. If they're hit with a metallic object that sparks (i think) or anything with fire (such as the firebombs) they will explode. If you roll into them, they destroy and will not explode. I use them to my advantage all the time to kill enemies.
Also the smooth/silky things are for
The crow's nest in the starting area. Leave them where they say to give them shiny and smooth and you get a random reward, i think
I believe that's the case, yes. But as you go up in weight, your rolling distance also decreases.
Adaptability is the king stat as far as mobility now.
Yes.
I'm terrible at multi-bosses like these and ornstein so the triple sentinels gave me trouble. Kill the first sentinel where you drop in by either rolling or blocking his hits and don't fall down. When he's dead, fill up life, drop down and start rolldodging until you have the 2 sentinels on same side of room. Keep them in your view and provoke them to attack by going forward, then hit back. Keep life full with cheap gems in case they do whirlwind and you can't dodge it.
Also, you can skip the sentinels for now and go do a different place. Go through Heide's or talk to cleric from Heide's in Majula and come back to Bastille later.

Where did you find that code? I intend to give it to someone else.
You can start anywhere in the series; all three are really good games and their lore is pretty self-contained. Have fun!
I'm having that issue as well. What was your starting class? I figured it would be easier to start as a sorcerer and add some weapons skills as I went, but man the starting STR and DEX are terrible. I am finally at a point where I can use the
fire longsword
There are easier places your "supposed" to go before you fight them, try killing the bosses there and coming back.
Picked up a copy of the game during lunch at Best Buy today, guessing it was a pre-order copy. Came with the code and I'd rather give it away.

Anyone in the

I've been invaded twice by the same guy in later areas, but I haven't been able to get any coop going yet.

Loving it so far but I'm not necessarily sure where to go after
beating the last giant. That was the first boss right? Also should I not spend souls on buying the hp regen ring and the falling damage ring? They seem super useful. (I loved that hp regen ring in DS).

Can somebody tell me where i can find the elite knight armor or some other good armor set, i just entered the
and i'm stuck the whole game with the knight armor.
shadow forrest
Go to a bonfire and press triangle
Just get on the wiki or watch a video that explains the basics. Figure out the rest yourself.
There is no shame in that for a game like this. I have been with the series since importing Demon's Souls in early '09 and I ordered the guide for this one myself because of all the little changes and nuances. Plus, I simply don't want to miss anything. Having to constantly ask and look online is a bother.
Hey How is your dual wielding going? I'm going to attempt dual wielding spears tonight after I raise my STR 2 more points
---------------------Start lvl End lvl

So SL 150 makes for a fine melee build. Mages and hybrids need a lot more stats tho and need to sacrifice a bit of Vigor and/or Adpt. I'd still say 150 is a good choice for the next pvp level.
edit: actually makes do fine with 150 as well if they keep Vigor at 20 depending on which weapon they want to wield. That includes 50 int an 38 Adpt. You're at 134 without leveling dex or strength. Attunement of 25 for 5 slots.

Watch your back because most of those "out of nowhere" enemies are playing dead
There's an excellent "hidden" armor set in starter levels:
Forest of Fallen Giants, kill Pursuer and go past.
Yeah there are quite a lot of ambushes.
I'm maining a dual-wielding build but if I'm going around in a new environment - particularly some corridor ripe for an ambush around a corner - I keep an equipment slot for a shield and keep it up as I inch forward. The classic Souls tactic.
Of everything that's changed, I think the option to have the HUD hide itself is my favorite. It's so awesome to not have that stuff breaking immersion the entire time I'm playing. I know you could hide it before, but it was permanent. This new auto-hide is much better. There when you need it, hidden when you don't.

my only regret is I wish I have gotten into The Souls series earlier.I started out with sorcerer too and it was a real effort to try leveling str and dex to be able to wield a short sword and a shield. What stats are you focusing on btw? (I heard int hard caps at 40?)
The armor salesman i Majula sells the elite knight armor for me. Might be new in stock after completing a certain boss though.

Guess I'm going to Heide's, then.
Yeah, I usually just attack every sleeper I see. It's nice to get a jump on them.
