beware of the use of fire with those enemies, after a period of time the get used to it and they go berserk

Same thing happened to me. I couldn't help but smirk at the irony of his character's name: "Sorry" after landing three clean hits with two rapiers and giving him, apparently, zero damage.

Thanks guys, these enemies are just horrible. The way they look and their AI is atrocious.
The hitboxes in this game are disgusting: Pursuer grabbing me

Finally beat the
boss last night in the Lost Bastille.
I lay down my summon sign a few times in front of the entrance to the fight and helped some other people win. It seems that beating a boss will fully restore your humanity, even if you're at half health from dying.
Hardest part of this area is the groups of enemies, though. I ran a little too far into one room behind a metal door and I got ambushed by no less than 5 armored guys with great swords.
Really liking the Heide Knight Sword still.. I've got it upgraded to +4 and I'm thinking I may just stick with it unless I'm fighting heavily armored opponents. I find that the vertical attack arc of the heide sword is ideal for baiting enemies into tight spaces and killing them.

Noticed this as well odd times I'll take damage somehow. I wrote a note of it and asked my other half that was watching if I was imagining things.

Can't stop thinking someone at from took the "ZA WARUDO" meme too seriously...
I got something like this happening yesterday with one of the plunge attacks from those fucking Ruin Sentinels. Hopefully I managed to beat them with the power of jolly cooperation. I shudder thinking about this fight on my own unless I have OP equipment.
Huh, that's interesting.
Did he wear a "clowns" outfit?
The Champions one is the only one that you have to explicitly join. The rest (out of the ones I've found, which is all except two), you just have to talk to the guy and cancel out of confirming joining, and you'll still get the achievement. For the Champions covenant, I just created a new character and ran it through to Majula -- this is my first time through the game, so I don't need to make it more difficult for myself.

Which ring do you think is better of the 2...the one that causes less weapon degradation or increases hp? I'm not certain how much either adds.
First, the second one is a waste of a slot, tbh.

That's gross.
Do you mean add in the removed ambient lighting?

Since the damageboost and xp gain rings give +10% i would guess its 10% less degradation and 10% more hp

If you are going through story then go the decrease in degradation. If you are PvP then go with more hp.
10% hp? No way, or my math sucks hard.
I think he means that it has the option to remove the lighting in dark areas that makes torches useless without having to make the entire game much darker like it did before.

Havn't been invaded, but got summoned to help out shortly after joining the covenant. Holy shit it's great. Dude comes rushing in and then sees me pop up and then just gets trucked by both of us.
Oh wow that's bad. I havn't experienced anything that terrible yet.
Ah that would explain it. I have a second one in the tutorial area...maybe i'll just rush through to get the achievement. Thanks!
There should be no need to bring that many weapons to

So I cleared out the house to be killed by
This game, I know its my fault but I can't continue after that.
a booby trapped chest.
This game, I know its my fault but I can't continue after that.
Oh I have like two dozen weapons on me, that's not the issue. The problem is that I have to go into the menu to equip anything barring my usual two because the added weight in the active weapon slots pushes me over 70% equip load and ruins my rolls.
I don't like being forced to tinker in an item menu that doesn't pause the game. Especially if both my weapons suddenly flash a warning sign without my expecting it. It's annoying and adds little to the game.
Pursuer hitboxes are usually bad, I even recorded a video yesterday where I basically died only with attacks that didn't hit me, but that grab made me lol hard. And I had just parryed him, took almost all his life with the ballistas and was feeling like a boss. It was joy and utter disappointment in a matter of seconds.
This will explain all.. (still got 2 mins of processing left)

Welcome back Dark Souls 2
Read messages on the floor, they often warn you about these things!

Were you playing with online-enabled? (I get dropouts from the Steam connection sometimes and the game doesn't automatically re-connect on its own)
Those trapped chests almost always have warning signs in front of them.
I tend to be paranoid in general, so I tend to raise my shield and/or roll away from chests.

To me it looks a bit too dark to really play the whole game like this.
Is ENB safe to use with Steam (in terms of VAC bann?) - i think i will give this a try, if its possible to reduce ambient lighing to a lesser level but not completely disable it
This looks really good, but I can't imagine any build being fun to play like this except for the usual shield + small weapon build. Dual wielding will almost never be dual wielding and two handing ultra greatswords would be a pain in the ass.
I'll probably give it a shot just to see what it's like on a third character or so, but I think I prefer the final version.
i dont think its hitboxes. Youare playing offline completely? this happens to me sometimes and i figured it is lag. But I am usually online

ENB kills the fog woods LOL more white screen
You can set the ambient levels to whatever you want. This is with zero ambient light so show an effect for the video. IE. It's pitch black without a torch when there's no light sources, and it doesn't do it by messing with brightness settings.

They reset.
That was offline. It's definitely hitbox problems.
Thanks!
I've had weird lag in my game also locally. Even when I'm the one summoning phantoms, I can feel the delay in enemies taking damage from my hits which is weird. Surely my instance of the world should be lag free? It's bizarre. Tends to be only a mild disconnect but still a pain.
Captain is just a helm and torso that go with the knight set. You might as well especially if your going that way there's some good weapons in those classes. If you don't like them try maces.

I realized a lot of hitbox problems with
The Rotten, his axe and his grab are getting a lot of wider and further than the hitbox is showing
Great, i will give it a try with slightly reduced AL i think

Pretty sure it does, but also have to make sure you are in either the
Lost Bastille
Iron Keep
Omg.
So far I've been using this one, it's been great: http://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls2/mods/25/? Seriously reminds me of the lighting in the network test, it still has a few issues like the lighting can flicker but I think that's because of the ENB files themselves and not the actual preset.

Hi, I'm lvl 68 and I'm looking for a good mid size shield I could use. I started the game with two swords but I want to switch and the only small shield I have is the Crimson Parma from early on wich is rubbish. Does anyone know were to find a nice one? I got to the end of
, I think.

That never happened to me, did you use him in the boss fight per chance? (I think he may disappear from there if you summon him and go back right after without resetting the area)
It's Hitbox, not lag. And it became 10x worse when you do PVP because it became hitbox problem + lag = shitfest.
