Use a small white soapstone if you're going to be playing a lot of co-op, especially against bosses, where the time limit becomes trivial.
The reward is much nicer

a smooth & silky stone every single time that you can drop in the birds' nest for all sorts of goodies, including human effigies and twinkling titanites
Can't even make a dent D: Maybe i should roll inwards.
EDIT: LOL that was it, couldn't even touch me.

Man, I am really loving this so far. It helps that I remained mostly spoiler free, I think. I had no idea what the first couple of areas were even going to be.
I'm REALLY taking my time, though. 2 hours played, and I feel like I've hardly done anything yet.
Things just feel right so far. I'm sure I'll have complaints as things go on, but for now, I'm just enjoying being back with a Dark Souls game.

The reward is less darkness.
But isn't it like Demon's? That's what it feels like to me.
The punishment for dying repeatedly and the disappearance of enemies bothers me more. I really loved grinding in Demon's/Dark, there was something therapeutic about it.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
And on the console version, you also gain three less frames per second in that area!
Enjoy!
it's what kept me from playing demon's when i tried

It's a lot different in Demon's Souls because it felt like being in Soul form was worth it for various reasons (unlike in DkS2 where it benefits jack shit):
Soul form in Demon's Souls made you quiet - easier to sneak from behind. It also disabled world tendencies to change when dying. Oh, and the most important part of being in soul form is that you get (approx) 20% stronger.
Cling Ring, easily obtainable early on in the game. Pretty much puts you at 75% health which should/is more than enough for a character in DS.

Do you reveal illusionary walls differently than in dark souls 1? In the first one, you just had to hit the wall. But everytime I've come across a message saying there's an illusionary wall in this game, nothing happens when I try to hit the wall. Am I just continuosly being trolled by messages?

Troll after troll. It's the new "Happy cow" and "Please evaluate me".

Soloing the
was goddamn satisfying. Didn't know about all the
before hand. Would've made it easier.
3 metal bosses, whatever they're called
illusion walls

Since you said hint, I won't tell you outright. But
you need a particular item that makes them not be petrified anymore.
It's funny because outside of the benefits for Soul form in Demon's, in Dark Souls 2 it does feel purely aesthetic. I see my zombified hollow form, and I just feel sad :/

I'm just like "Ugh, that skin". Then I put this texture mod on, and now everything is better.

Or too low, it's incredibly easy to level up.

Typically less then a minute or two. But if you're overleveled, it could take a while if you get summoned at all.

Take a mental note and come back later. You'll know it when you can access it.

Anyone else go through Heide's before Forest of Fallen Giants? I
when I saw more basic enemy types that I realized I did the wrong place first.
encountered the giants and thought I had gone the wrong way but they died relatively quickly and there were so few that I assumed it was supposed to be the first area you go through. The dragon rider boss was pretty easy as well. It wasn't until I went back to Majula and found the forest area

Waiting on someone to mod in (if possible) a permanent Ring of the Dead mod.
Item Spoiler:
Makes you look human at all times, even when Hollow.

As someone who's permanently stuck on S.lvl 1, how is it incredibly easy to level up? Do enemies just give you plenty of more souls the deeper you go into the game?

Well... Shit :/ Dark Souls 2 now crashes on startup with a white screen. I don't understand, I played for 11 hours yesterday and must have started the game up about six or seven times in different configurations...

Yea I did the same. Those giants weren't too hard, as long as you kept circling and did 1 at a time.
Go back and check doors.
Anyone else glad that this game has much more music than Dark Souls I? Or for that matter did anyone else think they messed up when examining
the nest
EDIT: lol I dont think I even saw a different path aside from the forest...

Yeah the game is noisy as fuck. The main town has a frustrating theme and everytime I'm there, I mute my headphones.
If you're human you can sort of gauge if you're at the proper level by seeing how many other summon signs are in that spot.

I stopped playing Dark Souls 2, and now all I can think about is playing more Dark Souls 2.
Tis a great place, i'm swimming in shiny.

I did the same thing, but backed up when I got to the
Wharf
After not summoning ever on a first run in Demon's/Dark, I just wanted to see how it worked on PC! Without GFWL!
At least, that's what I tell myself. I felt like a total failure too :/ VOWED TO NEVER AGAIN. Even managed to kill one of my helpers with the Ballistas.
Profound sadness.
