PC version is just about to surpass PS3's amount of disappeared souls:
PS3: 9,588,094,633,279
PC: 9,481,842,555,558

lol i still melee with my Fire Longsword and Moonlight Greatsword but i can't call my character Sorcerer Rahl without lots of spells as well.
Alright time to infuse my weapons then before making the official jump to NG+
I currently have 6 slots, the extra 3 come from the ring.
I run 8 Soul Spear, 8 Soul Geyser, 5 Crystal Soul Mass, 17 Great Soul Arrow and 12 Great Heavy Soul Arrows.
Most players are SL210+?
Explains a lot about the PvP I've been getting. Gonna co-op the shit out of the last stretch tomorrow and make my character broken as fuck.
Compare that to the deaths ~225 million on PS3 to 48 Million on PC, and that tells a different story. The amount of hacked soul counts on PC must be really fudging the numbers lol.
Or PC gamers are just way better
Seriously though, I'd think that there is more of a core audience on PC. Casuals are skewing the PS3 deaths, no win button and easy mode and all.Or PC gamers are just way better
Anyone unbiased who has played PvP on both systems will tell you this is the opposite of the truth. I've only come across a handful of good PvPers and most co-op I do the host sits back and does nothing or usually dies. It's crazy how many people die to the last boss with 2 summons for help lol
Yesterday I arrived to Drangleic Castle and decided to earn some Sunlight Medals at the 2 Dragonriders Boss. I saw a lot of Summoning Signs.
I really loved helping others. I decided to take the aggro with the Redeye Ring, so that no one could die by accident. I might do this again with some other boss

Man that boss fight was disappointing. I really thought this was the game telling me "I know that you defeated this motherfucker before without breaking a sweat, but shit is gonna get real now!"... It ended up being as easy the first fight. Hell, the one with the bow died after a couple of hits :/Yesterday I arrived to Drangleic Castle and decided to earn some Sunlight Medals at the 2 Dragonriders Boss. I saw a lot of Summoning Signs.

Even the Looking Glass boss was no problem, and I was looking forward to this fight.
Drangleic Castle is not living up to my expectations.
btw, I already died ~5 times fighting the Darklurker... I really need dark-resistant gear. Any recommendations?
Edit:
Is this good enough against hexes?
If you infuse it with dark you can get 100% block against dark.
In short, I need to get gud
I already tried buffing my weapon with lightning and magic... next time I'll try fire, poison and then bleeding (maybe even dark? lol). He/she gotta be weak against something.
Edit:
Hmm... why is it useless against the lurker then?

I only need eight more kills as a Blue Sentinel to get Wrath of the Gods and holy crap have these past few fights been terrible. It's like the almighty gods of PVP have decided to shit right on my head and kick me up the backside. Chuggers, lagstabbers, teleports, people hitting right through my shield, invading the same infinite HP/stamina cheater twice -_-
I'm looking forward to being done with this covenant.

So....anyone play Warband?
Must just be the mood the RNG is in, cos bloody hell, I was in Amana farming for the Staff (to compare to the Wisdom - hint, not worth it, but only by very few points of DMG) and was invaded while hollow several times by scaredy-cat invaders who wanted me to do all the running and chasing.
No you fucks, you invaded me, come and get me if you want the kill.

I'm about to embark on my second journey through Drangleic but before I do I need to decide what arrows to stock up on. I play a STR/Faith character. I thought the lightning arrows would match up quite nicely with my lightning bow but they don't seem to be doing much damage, at least not in No Man's Wharf, which is my bow testing area. Any thoughts? Should I just stick to steel arrows, as they seem to doing consistently good damage?

Playing my second character after beating the game once, I notice that despite going to the hard areas early in the game doesn't impede me in finding other players to co-op or invade.
Maybe it's because the PC playerbase is rather large but I guess soul memory isn't as terrible as I heard it was.

Reached
and obtained the two armor sets I had been hoping to get from the beginning
. The latter for a second there I thought I'd have to burn an ascetic, but luckly the very last enemy mob that dropped it that I killed before they stopped spawning dropped the chest piece. Thank god. Now it's up to finding Twinkling Titanite to fully upgrade my the latter armor, but fully upgraded the former and it kicks ass alongside Soldier's Ring +1 as I have like 49% weight and I'm so mobile. Have gotten my agility to 98 I believe. Might get it to 99 and then completely focus on vitality and faith again. Haven't put points into faith in a while (still at 63).
I gotta say the boss fights were ridiculously easy
Drangleic Castle
Faraam and llewellyn set
I gotta say the boss fights were ridiculously easy
Dual Dragon Riders lasted 1 minute thanks to sunlight spear. Mirror Knight lasted not that long, and I co-oped farmed it a lot as well. I regret not beating him by myself since his moveset is slow enough where it could easily be done
So I guess all the archers from Anor Londo moved to the
after the end of Dark Souls, eh?
lol, you should have seen dark spells in DS1.
DS2 heavily nerfed them, though they still pretty gud, they have very heavy requirements.

My issue with dark spells is when the guy has a speedie cast speed and the spell has a decently wide range of a hit box. Sunlight spear might be OP but it's hitbox is MUCH smaller than some of these spells, like that really big soul arrow.

Yup basically. I don't find them nearly as annoying though.
I did have a few curve their arrows around pillars. Is that...normal/

Nope,
Freja is a spider.
In all seriousness, what you asked about is not a bug either.
Not really. Instant poision dark fog, best weapon buff in the game and 1000+ dmg long range projectiles. Pursuers and Dark Bead both had their downsides.

Notice the sound effect as the Alonne knights in Iron Keep die too, a clue to the lore here.

I think climax hits harder, but i don't think anyone uses that for obvious reasons.
What should I level up now?
I was thinking about int or fth for some spells (like weapon buffing or healing), adp for better rolls and item use (but it would require like 20 points, not sure if it is worth it) or I could just put some points in vigor which sounds boring.
I just killed gargoyles and I am running alva gear with broadswoard/greatsword (MEH) with drangleic shield if it matters.
Go with adaptability and faith, imo.

I messed up,
to get the blacksmith key?, or should I start over again and loose my 5 hrs of gameplay?
I killed Melentia, is there any way to revive her
I don't know if there's a way to revive her, but if it turns out that you can't (and thus can't get the key), I'd absolutely start over.
Out of curiosity, how did you kill her?
I was invaded by a blue sentinel that never took damage, just killed myself and reported him. Hopefully it's not common.

There was a message in the ground from another player, saying that by doing it I'd get a ring. It was pretty easy actually, just 3 or 4 sword attacks, didn't realize I might need something from her.
Yeah, it's giving me fits when it was pretty easy in the beta. I blame the skeletons and that glitched alcove bullshit. :|
You should raise your shield while standing there, or just roll through it, its not that hard!
I simply have my back to the wall and have my shield raised. No issues.
Had this long string of people who would summon me via the little white soapstone and then they would do a bunch of greeting gestures, and then disconnect me. I would bow, they would bow, then they would do all sorts of other shit, while I stood there looking at them not play the game, and then they would send me back.
What is up with that? It was like 6 separate people, a few of them would keep summoning me even. I know they can see my name if they didn't want to play with me, so why summon me and then do some stupid dance?

25 hours in now and I think I'm close to the end. I'm definitely getting end-game loot and enemies.
Looking forward to starting fresh with a magic build.

What areas have you recently gone through, for curiosity? I'm not planning on telling you how much you have left, I'm just curious as I had the same thoughts a couple of times in my first play through.

put your back to the wall and raise your shield or roll through the wheel spikes.

I've been progressing fine but am still mostly in the dark when it comes to covenants and how they work with PvP. Wish I had more time to dwelve into this.
Can anyone give me a quick rundown of how the first few covenants work? Thanks.

Just beat the
mirror knight
There's a few doors which need that king thing which I don't have though obviously. A few more hours of gameplay at least I hope!
