Going through the A
erie
now. I think I actually like this game not less than DaS 1. The level interconnectivity is obviously way worse, but I understand the design choice. Also I love the idea of what adaptability does, and the porting works well in context. I dunno :) Different games, but both are amazing I think, won't pick a favorite until I finished it I guess.

summoned on 2 seconds

#1reasonwhy :(
I get summoned in half the time when I'm dressed in leather and desert sorceress combos. Maybe they like the outfit I don't know myself really.

I've been using AutoHideMouseCursor that someone linked many pages ago in this thread.

Bumping this because while the program works as intended, it does have one annoying issue: having it set to start with Windows forces my hidden desktop icons to appear.

I was wondering if there was a way to make it stop doing that while still having the program start with Windows.

lol really?, when I need help I smash every summon sign that I see, before they disappear. I dont even have time to see how the characters look.

Edit: I love the murakumo.

it's kinda hilarious someone would just summon the most grotesquely exploitative character but hey you get your old soul, i get my sunlight medal, win-win

i mean i feel like it's more indecent to summon someone to fight the rotten than being a perv tbh

edit: ok i added a hat to the outfit to make it a bit more classy


10/10 would summon again?

i'm glad a Souls games allows your female character to actually look sexy.
You can actually make pretty handsome guys and girls this time round. Except the hair - somehow they managed to make the hairstyles even worse than the first two games. Your choices are: various Animu spikey cuts, TWO bowl cuts or dreadlocks.

Errr, thanks From Soft, I'll stick with the receeding hairline for my middle-aged weathered hunk thanks!

Too bad they can't tap Capcom for the Dragon's Dogma character editor. That was some God Tier stuff.
 
Second time lag has made it where everytime I hit the guy nothing happens. I also got transported into a backstab. Fucking beautiful. Again if this turns into a regular occurrence I'm turning off cross region play

Sigh. The grave warden guy said to put out my torch, so I did. Unfortunately since that ghoul with the torch was still following me, he got all hostile and I had to kill him. :(

Oh wow, that interesting (and unfortunate :( ) that the enemy will actually trigger it too. I never lit my torch to see what would happen.

For me, lag makes a lot of Dark Souls 2's PvP very strange. It makes me feel the need to stay far from an enemy's attack area, because I've had several occasions where an enemy's weapon hits me from, like, four in-game feet away from where the model swung (ultra greatswords do this too often). There are also tele-backstabs as you describe. I was considering attempting parries in PvP until this sort of thing began to occur.

I guess this is just latency from me or the host. Does anyone know who hosts in multiplayer? I would assume it's whoever owns the world, but y'never know...

World Host makes the most sense. There's not much lag when I play because my internet is pretty decent. When I invade somebody it can range from teleportation backstab and (as you mentioned) shitty hitbox ultra great sword, to a fucking model lagging like all hell.

It hasn't been that bad yet but two in a row where the dude kills me even though I'm far away is kind of bullcrap. Cross-region play will definitely have to happen if this continues.

NG+ finished!

Now I need to quickly rush through NG++ to get the last couple of miracles and pyromancies. After that, I need a break. 96 hours of playtime according to Steam.

EDIT: 92 hours in-game.

Er-Are you not supposed to go into the
left alcoves
for the
Demon Chariot
boss? Every freaking time I go into those I keep getting hit by them. Weirdly, the right seems hit and miss on that.

It's driving me crazy. This isn't necessarily a hard boss. But the random hits that one-shot me
(plus the skeletons)
are doing me in.

There's one specifically that seems to be glitchy and you get hit. It's the one
on the left right after the one that has the first necromancer
as long as you avoid that one like the plague you shouldn't be hit

With soul memory, is there a reason not to level?

Nope! Aside from self-imposed penalties or keeping a set level for PVP.

I've gotten really sick of sword-and-boarding, so I've decided before I go to NG+ I'm going to respec myself into a dodgey dual-wield build. Probably go with dual falchions since they look pretty cool (too bad the Red Rust Scimitar is strength-oriented). Was thinking of using the Warped Sword, but it has a really high Dex requirement to powerstance it. < Changed my mind, I'll just go up to 40 Dex 'cause I want to check out katanas as well.

fully upgraded pursuer sword worth it?

i just used a soul to get it. it looks nice, but i've been using the zweihander for a bit. seems to be the same move set.
 
You know what, fuck
Ancient Dragon
. I've been trying to beat him for the past two hours. Even respecced like an idiot to buff up STR and STA and I'm dealing the same amount of damage.

And I understand his patterns, but
I can never figure out what exactly makes him breathe his fire while on the ground. It's like this thin radius in front or slightly to the side of his head but the pattern always goes like this - first breathe fire on foot, then fly up and do the area fire. The thing is, he repeats this cycle but slowly goes backwards a bit, to the edge of the arena, so once he goes that far he starts going a bit forward every time with the aerial attack, so my Gyrm Greatshield is useless as the flames are above and around me. I even patiently wait from afar for him to start slowly moving forward but something always fucks me up, his foot falls on me or he decides to swipe his claw out of nowhere. I also deal like 500-600 dmg with either a Raw Mastodon Halberd +10 or a Giant Warrior Club +10. The cheap one kills are ruining it for me.
I'm all for tough bosses and DS2 needs more of them (at least in NG) but the difference between all bosses and
Ancient Dragon
is insane.

Sorry, venting rant.
 
That PVP arena is pretty cool. Wish people used it more. Although the first time I used it, some guy flaskd like 5 times and then killed me :(
