What's with this being summoned as a grey soul business?

Got it yesterday. Been playing non-stop, having heaps of fun. The movement and sense of control of your character does feel inferior to Dark Souls, so I might not be playing it for years and years to come like I did with that game, but right now I'm having a blast finding treasure and exploring and stuff!

Did you raise adaptability?
oh shit I didn't know this was in the box too
Dat scee office, dat kit.
What edition is this?
I'll finally be able to play the game online tonight, I hope.

The more points allocated to Adaptability, the more the controls and movement feel the same as DS1. Especially the rolling!

I can't work or think right now... I just want to start dying
Standing toward her middle area (sides, torso, whatever) allows you to both do damage, avoid the forward/back tail swing and easily read her attacks. Since you're a halberd guy, only attack when it's uber-safe as she can counter you with a spear thrust very easily if you get greedy.
It's also a popular area for summoning so grab a buddy if you feel like it. I was Sun Broing there just yesterday, helping people get through.
Earliest he can get it is in the
misty forest area with the fog, hug the left wall and you'll eventually reach a merchant that sells it

Well, it depends on when you get there. A lot of people will get there far earlier than they will kill the bosses. Multiple routes there too.

How are you guys finding it with the DS4? Does the lack of Guide button etc have any impact whatsoever?
Man, I disagree so hard. To me the controls feel sooooo much better. Much more fluid.

So I was enjoying Dark Souls 2... Then I got to The Gutter.
(Location spoilers, just in case)
(Location spoilers, just in case)
Thankfully I had over an hour of torch built up and I made it through to the bonfire just fine, but MAN that is a daunting looking place at first. I'd love to see it all lit up.
Was going to hold off playing my copy until I had more time, but I couldn't resist. Opened my copy and played for a bit last night...WOW! As an old school From fan, the first couple areas in the game felt like so many of their previous games. Things Betwixt (the intro cavern/area) was so fucking the hub/nexus from Shadow Tower Abyss. It was so primordial and tree-like in nature, the atmosphere and even down to small things like the particles/embers blowing around the air. Incredible.
Then I got to Majula...holy shit. I felt like I was playing/seeing a modern day Evergrace for a second. The autumn-like setting, the cliff-side sea town, etc. I was instantly reminded of the opening area from Evergrace, Saranad Hill. There's even a guy chilling/sitting up against a wall near the starting area that looks like he's wielding a Moonlight Sword! I felt like there was so much deep fan service right out of the gate. Very impressed!

All Amazon orders prior to a certain date get them. You got quite a nice card, there's 4 different designs.

I got this one too, and it was the one of the four possible that I wanted the least T___T mine was like 2300 of 2500 though.
Also itseems like the EU black armour edition case differs from the NA one, at least from what I've seen, ours (EU) doesn't have lettering on the case. I kinda prefer that.

Played some more tonight. Got motion sickness again. Sigh. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the way the camera moves and/or the field of view. General look of the game doesn't seem as crisp/nice as Dark Souls.. I dunno. Everything feels very choppy/clunky. I still think it's gotta be just the camera/fov making me ill, though.
Doesn't matter how slow/fast I have the camera set, I still get nauseous.
So disappointing. I even bought the CE and I rarely buy CEs, but souls games are the best there is these days in my opinion so there was no question.
Is there an official forum/contact that I can query about this? Via google I can see a few other people are reporting the same problem, and 1-2 others in this thread at least.

OK quick question, what"s the purpose of lightning a torch ?
Other than that almost everything is new to me as I didn't spoil myself with previews. And man oh man what a game. So much secrets and so many things I don't what they are for?
Is it me or the story is more vague than DS1 ?

The heide knight sword was critical to my cleric build early on and now he's fucked.
Isn't he pretty early on? Might as well restart, as terrible a remedy as it is.
You can get infinite souls through covenants, so that doesnt matter much, the drops on the other hand... but then again, they are only % chances anyway, so just consider it a drop that didnt drop
Dont see them changing that.

not trying to be insensitive, but it really isn't something that needs to be fixed if you died to the enemy that doesn't re-spawn and needed the drop.

I preordered it as soon as it went up. I didnt get that plate
you should have saw the first time I fought the dragon rider
i entered the fight and within one second I was pushed off
pushed off of what? if you pull both switches there is no pit at all.

What needs fixing for real is item drops falling through wooden planks. I smoked a lizard and the drop just fell right through the bridge it was on.
As a cleric myself, the mace's dmg dwarfs that of Heide's Knight Sword, scales better (with strength), but has low attack range. Regardless, I recommend restarting to get it since its range and surprise R2 thrust is pretty good in early pvp.
Can anyone explain when it's possible to invade? I did it once (and got killed) but ever since, I can't use Cracked Red Eye Orbs. It's not that I want to to be a douche, but I assume the NPCs who won't talk to me because I don't have any darkness wants me to invade and kill innocent people.
Never really understood the blue orbs either, I joined the right covenant but still couldn't use it, then one time I suddenly could but nothing happened.

I had this problem with Skyrim when it first released. I went to the local vitamin shop and picked up some ginger pills. If I took a few before my playing sessions; it would keep me from getting nauseated.

Dark souls 2 > c sharp
I'm not liking that the health gets reduced after each death. Why penalise when death is the way forward? They removed it in Dark Souls 1 coming from demon's and now it's back in a different format.
Plus there are some things near the start of the game that irk me, like I can only get one health refill from the estus flask, the enemies are quite powerful and more in line with what you fight 1-2 hours in Dark Souls 1 rather than the very first few enemies, the first boss fight is in a tiny area with a guy who does large sweep attacks that can push you back (yes I tried to strafe him but died anyway cause I was trying to recover my health).

A question: what is the location between
and
, and how do you get there? It seems I skipped that entire location, as it's about the only black box on the fast travel menu left.
