Some people are using the guide and others are just really good at the game I suppose. I'm only Sl55 at around 24 hours played and have beaten five bosses.
I meant as a member of the covenant. I want to invade and earn chunks.

FFS, I still can't summon or put down I sign. I don't think it's the glitch as I have restarted several times.
There has to be something I've missed. IS there any point in the game where you have to summon as a tutorial before you can do it on your own? Do you have to finish dialog with someone? It's just not working at all. I did get invaded once on Tuesday but no hints that the online works since then.

I must be doing something wrong because I waited and waited and waited and never got summoned.I was just hanging out at Lost Bastille's Tower Apart bonfire and getting summoned to another world literally every 1-5 seconds.
I've stopped now though. Just wanted enough to upgrade my Blacksteel Katana (sweet DEX weapon btw).
I did the prostration emote to beg forgiveness.
Aw, mean. :>
Dumb question perhaps but you were wearing the ring, yes?
Yep. I thought it was because I was 'overleveled' but I cannot be sure. Getting chunks is a pain.
Well, it worked, I ran past them, also beat the boss. Shit was intense. Fight took me like 10 mins lol

Guys, is this video an accurate depiction of ps3 gameplay looks like?
Not part of the now infamous bait & switch marketing campaign? hahaha.

I am never a guy anyone can even remotely describe as graphic whore, but I think it looks alright in my eyes. Good, even.

I have the guide as well and that is why I am taking my time to comb each area. I have beat 10 bosses in just the areas I have been to and I am not even half-way in. This game is huge.

There's probably a necromancer or whatever (weird looking thing) close by that is reviving them.
43 hours here and I just started Huntsman. And not because I died so much.
Yeah that's what I was answering :]
You don't need to be in the tower. Just put the ring on. Don't put the ring on while venturing trying to get something done because you will be called constantly. There was a stretch where every time I was returning to my world I was immediately being summoned again.
Hm, not sure then. Could be something with soul level/soul history range, or a server issue.
If everything is going right you should be getting summoned very quickly. I was actually quite surprised how quickly I was being summoned. It really was just a couple of seconds wait each time.
I could problably tweak my TV settings, but it's properly calibrated. So I'd rather not mess with my TV settings when I can just change an option quickly on the PS3. I have never had issues with black levels in a game before, but this game has definite problems with black levels. The in-game adjustment, even at the lowest setting is inadequate to get proper blacks. This makes the game look more washed out, lacking in contrast, and dampens the impact of the lighting. Anyway, all I know is that I wish I had done this earlier. It has made the game more atmospheric and rewarding. Loving the lighting and torch so much more.

When you invade somebody and kill them you get a lockstone. Also the rats won't attack you.

The game is brilliant and a lot of fun, but I'm working through it slowly because of a busy work and home life, like I'm sure many others. Like others have expressed, I feel I've been ruining the experience a bit, however, by using phantoms for boss fights. I'm going to stop that going forward (at least until my enjoyment is diminished by lack of progress).
Couple questions I would appreciate help with:
1. Armor: I realize there are at times conflicting opinions on this, but I'm going with a strength build and would like some guidance. I really want to avoid fat roll, but with my current weapon (greatsword) it seems inevitable unless I go with armor that greatly reduces my defense, and I'm just not skilled enough to be able to rely on rolling constantly to avoid damage. Given this is the case, what is the general consensus on armor? Fat roll with beefy armor and rely on shield, or suck less with rolling and be more fragile?
2. I'm currently in (about 6 hours in spoiler)
3. I hear a lot of talk here about ultra greatsword; have I missed this already (given where I am in #2 above)? Or, is it a class of weapon?
Thanks in advance everyone and sorry if these are repeats; haven't been able to keep up with the thread.

No-man's Wharf and encountered the enemies that cower from the torch. Having beaten them, I went into a 'house' and found a couple more who appeared unaffected by the torch, killed them and went upstairs. I found two chests there and a fat guy, but I got killed before being able to properly talk to him. When I returned, he was gone. Is he gone forever?

is there any type of cling ring in this one? If so, where do you get it?
Also, I have Sublime Bone Dust, should I just use this to upgrade my flasks, or does it serve another purpose?

My man. That is what I am talking about.
Hrrrmmmmn. Well, the blue suns covenant ain't doing much for me.
Yeah, I am level 87 and still get summoned rather quickly.

Really? Interesting - I haven't see her around yet; what is she near?
That's exactly what it looks like. :-D No false marketing there.
Yes, the game looks good, very beautiful at times even. No need to worry if you arent expecting high end PC graphics.

Ahh! That's the one freaking place I never look. Cheers.
Any thoughts on the weapon question? I've got five titanite shards at the moment.

How do you move the contraption on the way to
? I've killed the
, not sure where to go now
Heide's Tower
Sinner
Try forcing through the fight
by evading him once, then running back to a ballista and shooting him. Takes off 95% health.
you find one of the best swords in the early/mid game that you will want to use.

Yes, its in a chest in
Heide
lowering the draw bridge, forgot its name

Bah, I opened up the wall to find McDuff, but I don't have any embers. I just unlocked the Shadow Forest last night. Should I have found an ember yet? I cant interact with him because he keeps asking for an ember.
Also, in forest of giants, above the first bonfire, is an item on a ledge. Can I get to that yet? You can clearly see it when you climb the tower close by, but I have not been able to figure out how to get there.
Also, wow, Lost Sinner was super easy for a "main boss". Easily got it on my first try. Its probably do to me having the tower shield. I love that thing.

Yeah pretty much.
Got talk to
Licia above where you beat Dragonrider until you exhaust her dialogue. She will then move to the room and you can pay her 2000 souls to open the way, or kill her and take the key for yourself. It leads to Huntsman's Copse.

No outside of it..on the lefthand side right next to the bridge
The ember is
waaaaaaay later.
I'd love to know how to get that item in the forest of giants as well though. Any ideas anyone?

Miracle seller after Heide's tower (after beating Dragonrider) will open the way for 2k souls. You need to exhaust all her talking options and she should be there afterwards.

I didn't find an ember until nearly 30 hours in (although now knowing where it is - I could probably get there much faster).
Huntman's Corpse->Harvest Valley->Earthen Temple->Iron Keep --- there is a dull ember near one of the snipers
Is there a poison ring in this game?
Man fuck the three
ruin sentinels !!
I've managed to defeat everyone possible and my progression is being blocked by this fight. Worst part is that if my phantoms die then that's pretty much it for me since I can't escape the battle using a Homeward bone in this fight since they have this massive lunge attack that can get to you and kill you from the other side of the arena.
Also so many guys online are idiots who just run in and then die even before getting to that fight. I keep hearing that there's a shortcut to this fight using which you can avoid clearing out the room with Royal Guards, where is this shortcut?

The "door" that leads to nowhere. Open it, and you can jump in the building from above.
Also, if you are stuck
go do some shit elsewhere. I stopped fighting those bosses for 30 level or so and cleared 2 other areas in the meantime.
If you need a hint where to go:
Buy the 14k ring from the cat and jump down the well.
