I'm pretty sure there are two ways to go from past the bonfire. Granted, I take your point but in comparison to the two games, the sequel lacks more disguised than the vanilla. Take that as you will.

the very first time i dropped a summon sign i had 50% health, so 5 deaths
i fell off a cliff like 2 minutes after entering the person's game
when my game loaded i had a full hp bar and was human
so...i dont think your theory is it either
i have no clue what is going on

Wait you're complaining because it's slightly less clear where the starting areas are? This is pretty nitpicky.

theres one deep in the world past the rat kings lair i dont remember where i got it but i came back with one from down there
I'm only adding onto the point that dresden was making. I could care less as to whether the game itself disguises its guidance to help me. I'm only making an observation.
The rest of the falls aren't as bad so might as well check out the bottom!
It won't let you. A message will pop up saying you can't.
Ah okay.

Usually it doesn't let you. I tried to equip two Life Rings and it wouldn't let me.
Edit: beaten. This thread moves so fast, lol.

Bought the CE guide from Gamestop today and holy shit there is a ring that you get by
completing the game without resting at a bonfire.

Yeeeaaah I bought all of her shards when she was at her starting area and now in Majula's still at 0.

If you have gold pine resin, it helps a lot. Focus on the
three big guys because they shoot projectiles.
There are a few paths you can take from Majula, but only a single discernable way that's right next to the bonfire. The others are farther away. I really don't know how you can be confused.
In Dark Souls, the crestfallen dude tells you that you can go up to the Undead Burg and lower down to Blighttown. The way to the Undead Burg is somewhat obvious, but the directions to Blighttown is very vague. And I don't remember if he even mentions the Catacombs. In Dark Souls 2, all immediate areas are highlighted.

What..? Impossible. o.o What does the ring do?
I have the worst luck with these things, I swear. I unwrapped my Black Armor Edition DS2 today and the first thing I noticed was that the steel case was dented and one of the hinges were bent. Ironically, my DS1 steel case was also like this when Amazon mailed it in, but this time I bought DS2 at GameStop, the disc was also just floating in the case.
Worth taking back for a replacement? I can't decide if this is a big deal to me or not, and if I should feel entitled to a good steel case. This wouldn't have been an issue if the case had housed a normal game box for it.

Any chance you remember the name of the item.
Maybe it's a glitch that From didn't know about. I've bought at least 7 from her but there is no number like there was with the bonfire aesthetic.
You probably realized this, but just in case,
the smaller skeletons and bonewheels only spawn when you kill one of the lords. Make sure you don't kill two of them in quick succession, or you're going to get overrun.

The framerate is horrendous on PS3 and I don't normally care about these things.
This game is very boring so far. Too much lame trial and error. I remember the bridge in DS1 where the Crimson Dragon would torch you if you set foot on it. That was cool. You could see the danger ahead and were punished for your curiosity.
But walking into a non suspect room and having 15 fire bombs dropped on your head from who knows where is dumb.

It's not a matter of specific locations being called out. The geography and the landscape of Firelink Shrine made it extremely clear that you either find a path leading lower in elevation to ring the bell underground or higher in elevation in order to ring the bell in the tower. Simple as that. In Dark Souls II there isn't really something that meets that level of implicit guidance.
Yeah that place was terrible. When I figured out what to do I just sprinted and ignored the enemies.
.... so THAT'S it... I had been mowing down the 3 lords as fast as I could, guess I should take it slower
EDIT: There now I destroyed them super easily. Thanks!
I have never experienced anything similar to that
Be careful opening doors bro, you've always had to be careful opening doors in all the souls games.
Some you need to hit, some you just need to press X.
Awesome, it was an X one! Doh!
Sun Sword, mines at +10 and does
A scaling for Str/Dex
Also late location question again
Is there a closer fire to the creepy boss in Brightstone?

Just did some great sunbro'ing.

Now, it's off to the rather foreboding Iron Keep.

I got summoned before Medusa-boss. I went back, looked at the ground and saw poison. Went back to the summoner, did the 'no no no' gesture, then pointed out. He followed me to where the windmill was. I pointed to it. Pulled out my torch and walked to the ignition point. Walked out, pointed, and he went up, and I started praising the sun. It took about 10 seconds, but he figured it out and we were able to easily beat her.

Do I have to fight the
boss or does it just get me the covenant? I can't kill his friends fast enough with me spear.

In Dark Souls 2 the areas aren't designed in the same "up" or "down" fashion as Dark Souls. If it was more obvious to to you in Dark Souls because it was structured like that, OK, but that doesn't mean Dark Souls 2's layout is confusing.
And Majula isn't that big either. You can find all the paths really easily. There are only a few paths. One is down below, but you'll fall and die at that point. You can go to Heide, but the enemies are tough. Then there's another path near the guy with the Bluemoon Sword, but the way is blocked by a statue. There's only one path to go then, the Forest, which he says is near the bonfire. And there's only one way that's near the bonfire.
I mean, to each their own, but the paths were really obvious to me.
What does doing that to the windmill do exactly? I did it just because the messages told me to.

The sweet smell of progress...
And then suddenly, Lost Bastille...
Also, I feel as if the traps are kinda... lacking so far. In Demon's and DkS1, usually a room littered with blood stains would mean that a pretty fucked up trap is approaching (ie, bridge dragons). Here, I see a room littered with blood stains, and it is only because people get ambushed by 2-3 guys around a corner without looking.
Managed to beat the Pursuer!
And then suddenly, Lost Bastille...
God damn that ambush room, holy fuck. That is one area I really, really, really wish had non-respawning enemies. And I got completely bodied by the Ruin Sentinels. Of course, I later picked up the Drangleic set and upgraded the Heide Sword instead of using this shitty halberd, so we'll see how this goes.

Takes away most of the poison in the boss room and the poison sludge before where the two guards are.
