Does resting at bonfire repair all weapons or just equipped ones?

Sure it does. It shows the flexibility of their port, and how with some tweaking you can make the game look really close to the original TGS graphics only on their PC port.
The guy at Majula does.

Man, these summons I continue to get near the door to this triple boss fight in The Lost Bastille fucking suck. I've lost 50K souls now. The frustation is through the roof but I want to keep trying until I beat them. Maybe I shouldn't be here for level 38.

Im not that far in but yeah, so far these bosses haven't been on the scale of the big epic bosses of DS1 (only finished the forest and heikei so far)

In the Dark souls games the flow of time is convoluted, with heroes centuries old phasing in and out

If you had a striking weapon I think its doable, though running to him could be tricky if the leash on enemies don't break you'll be in for a world of hurt lol. Though since youre already stuck at 1/2 half health, there's nothing for you to lose
pretty sure its all

well i'm using a "so-so" dark souls scale, they're still good but nothing that make me say "holy fuck this boss"

None, believe it or not. No need for it when shit looks this good.
1: Download this: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=1b1ca31d1d85130b&id=1B1CA31D1D85130B!12370
2: Extract it to the Steam\steamapps\common\DarkSoulsII\Game (Where the actual DarkSoulsII.exe is.
3: Done, just load the game and you're ready to go. Just be aware that this is incompatible with Durantes GSTDO and will make you crash on startup.
Note: Don't be alarmed by the 5-10 second white screen on startup, it just does that and if you alt+tab, but it won't crash and it's not freezing or anything.
So hmm... I'm suspecting the despawning might have removed enemies that I haven't even met yet... I didn't find my way to the
until after I had already been through
(so yeah, those might have been harder than they had to be). I'm seeing bloodstains in empty rooms, like the room above the Cardinal Tower bonfire, and I seem to remember once seeing a bird of some sorts swooping down in the forest castle outdoors area too, not sure if that was even an enemy.
Also haven't been invaded even once yet, maybe that's the Blue Covenant at work?
But yeah. Still having a blast with the game. So fun to explore. Early warping isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Heide's Tower of Flame, up to Dragonrider, and No Man's Wharf up until the Lost Castille entrance

Yeah, on the up side, I am loving the small white soap stone for helping people clear old bosses and areas, as well as its rewards (refilling estus, hp and weapon durability after it ends). I've gotten like 9 shinies to give the crows and got a bunch of rocks I don't know how to use so far lol

That fight is the first real gut check boss, so you may want to come back after leveling up a bit. It is technically optional if you can figure out how to bypass it.

Why the fuck do weapons break so fucking fast?
So what the fuck is going on with the coop ? I know there's the whole 'soul memory' mechanic in the background but why am I being summoned into a game (like I want to, at the start of the area) and I then kill a few enemies and it goes 'Duty Fulfilled' and turfs me out. It's irritating as I want to help them all the way to the boss and kick its ass but unless you drop your white stone just before the boss area you never get it.

That's my biggest annoyance with the game so far.

They seem to break differently depending on how you use them. The 2-handed R2 on the Large Club makes it lose something like 4 or 5 durability per attack (I went from no durability warning to broken in one swing), I think that's because you're hitting the ground. If you hit walls it also goes down faster I think.

There's a time limit, like 5 mins for small soapstone, 30 mins for white. I think killing enemies makes it go down faster.

Free repairs each time you visit a bonfire, that's why.
As long as you don't break it when the warning appears.

That happens with the small soapstone. Use the large stone to stay longer.
razgriz417

you're using the small white soap stone. Its set on a timer but nets you refilled flasks, hp and durability when you're done. The large one is like the old one and lets you stay til the boss dies
Game was working great yesterday, boot up my pc today and now DS2 stops responding every time I start it up 
There seems to be a few potential workarounds that I will try until this is fixed.
Edit: Definitely an HDMI issue, I just don't understand why it decided to strike today. Oh well.

I envy you guys. I got the game via TF2Outpost, but seems there were shenanigans involved. I only got to play it for 3 hours and then it was revoked by the original gifter.
Game "feels" better than the original, but that might just be the framerate speaking. It's wondrous, game looks quite nice at times.
I lost some money, learned my lesson, life goes on. See you people next month. Still got the original to beat, just wanted to get in while it was hot and new.

Thank you, I'm an idiot as I don't think I have it yet or just missed it. Off I go!
Oh so youre supposed to set the in-game res to the res you want to downsample from not to?

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?
Hmm, trying to get GeDoSaTo to work... I've extracted everything in Steamapps>Common>Dark Souls II and toyed with the .ini and I'm not noticing any graphics change.
Anyone?

I'm still early on, and I believe I've only seen three of them so far, but I agree. The vibe I'm getting is recycled old Souls' bosses. It's all very safe and expected. Still hoping for some neat bosses later on though.

Awesome, thanks a bunch. Luckily I'm not using GeDoSaTo so it should work fine.

Did you launch it (as admin) and click activate?

Can be extracted anywhere. Run the .exe as administrator and select activate in the gui before launching the game.
You're gonna have to put in some work.

No, it's in an area far, far away from there. It's kind of ridiculous where the item is actually at.

There is a hidden door on the ground floor of that room. Run around the walls and mash A.

Maybe you can make that jump, but you don't have to.
