I havent crashed just yet and my PS3 controller works fine using what fools the game into thinking its a 360 controller.
Explosions and probably getting hit.
I've only felt rumble on block and getting hit with DS4.
A ton of people, sadly. Including a friend of mine - for no reason.
Any talk of adjusting that?
EDIT: I like to help noobs with boss fights as a white spirit. I didn't realize I was being punished for helping others...
So going into Big Picture Mode, unplugging my monitor, pressing start, and plugging it back in seems to work just fine. Sucks doing that every time I want to play this game though. Killed the old ladies laughing at me in the beginning me quell my anger. Will try some new stuff tomorrow.

I found a covenant but I'm not sure if I should join it.
Also I
Its the one up the hill in majula.
Also I
saw the big monster near the beginning and was thinking about fighting it but then I got scared and wimped out. Should I fight it or is it something I should take on later?

First time player? Don't. Makes the game harder.
no crashes for me luckily.
DS2 so far feels a lot harder than ds1, though I don't really like enemies getting
but eh, maybe I'll warm up to it.
Are weapons in DS2 a lot more fragile than in ds1? My weapons break after like 20 minutes of usage, it's a pain in the ass.
Was a bit disappointed when I started TBH, I think ds1 looks a bit better and has better atmosphere but once I went to a new area and felt scared shitless to go through doors not knowing what to expect it all came back to me how awsome ds is when you play it for the first time.
Leveling up at the same place kinda sucks though, and I'm not a fan of the fast travel. Other than that I'm very excited.

I am getting a crash when I select the resolution I want to downsample from in-game, what am I doing wrong? I enabled AA in-game, ran the tool as admin, not using HDMI, disabled Steam overlay and it just flickers a bunch when I change the resolution and crashes. Hopefully I am being an idiot and just missing something simple here.
I played Dark Souls so much I forgot that it's way easier to die when you don't know where everything's coming from.
Also the timing of everything in the combat is just different enough to screw me up. Still trying to figure out the parry window.

this. i'm on the "2nd boss" and i feel like i must parry but my timing is just atrocious.

Well that definitely isn't a covenant I'd like to join. Thanks.
I believe that covenant causes the game to immediately enter new game plus.
The mechanic is relatively simple - gaining souls puts that into your soul memory bank (regardless of whether or not you actually use them), and the game looks at that along with your actual soul level to gauge multiplayer ranges.
The problem arises when you play a decent amount of co-op. You attain a meaty amount of souls for helping someone beat a boss, especially in the mid to late game, and those souls go into your soul memory bank.
So you can see the problem...
Soul memory disappears in NG+ but in the normal game, where the player base is naturally larger, it can become a major problem. Eventually I ended up not being able to be summoned at all for anything, even very late-game bosses and encounters.
wait which one? the one where you talk to the guy or the one where you kneel at the thing?
No crashing here and I've been playing non stop for a week.
I posted a guide on how to get DS4 working. Check it out.

Well, I think you could join it for the achievement (Playfire rewards) then leave it for another one. Does anyone know for certain if the increased difficulty remains after you leave it?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This explains why I can help past 3 boss kills
EDIT: ^^^^^^^ meant for Zeliard
Well it shouldn't have much of an effect with only that few boss kills. It only starts to really have an impact when you've played a notable amount of co-op (or gotten a lot of souls through some other way, but the enemy extinction mechanic makes grinding out enemies less feasible).
The one on top of the hill, Company of champions. According to Brandon505 at least. You also can't summon help or be summoned
Be pretty nice if you linked it, you know?
God. It's not like I'm pissed off enough with all the bullcrap that is From Software, but I got someone telling me to check out a guide without a link!
I even checked his posts for two pages and didn't find it.
Wow, I joined it without thinking. How big of a difference does it make?
Don't have to be a jerk about it
Not linking it and making me search and not finding it still?
I'm upset. I'm annoyed. There's no reason for HIM to be a jerk about it, or the others who posted.

Sorry. I linked it in this thread twice already and didn't want to spam.
Good luck!
Edit: wrong link... Stupid phone.
You do 20% less damage, and you can't summon or be summoned. You can still be invaded.
You linked a review.
Which at no point, mentions how to use a DS4 controller.
And please for the love of fucking GOD do not post this link:

Because that's shit. It doesn't work. It never worked. Others are posting it not working as well.

Well if he's using an amd card tell him to go to preferences and enable gpu scaling. Worked for me.
I might be over-leveled in that case.
Yes, I'm still having this crashing issue.
Well then... at 1440p with almost all the goodies on I get a stable 60fps... all I can say is thanks Durante, and thanks to whatever combo of specs made it so that I'm not having any crash issues. Smooth and silky. Easy to get absorbed now..
I remember what is was like in life, among those hopeless monks, five years of celibate, plodding existence for a handful of simple incantations and a lot of mumbo jumbo about "faith." The spells will come in handy in time, but all this talk of "miracles" is gibberish to me.
Now I come to these blasted lands. Drangleic, the old hag said it was. Time to get rid of this ludicrous weapon and reacquire the tools of my trade.

Beggars can't be choosers I suppose...
That's more like it.
Yeah.. but he's using an nVidia card. We tried every single workaround and fix online, no luck lol

DS2 is the number 2 most viewed game on Twitch right now! Woo!
I just want to play.
But the KB+M controls are awful. They should've just copied DSMFix, it was 10x better then what we have now.
And to support no controllers but Official X360's.
So annoyed. This should've been an awesome night, but now it's turning into a night where I just wanna go to bed and not wake up.

Absolute travesty. Well, I'm starting over then despite having 25 hours in the game.
What a stupid idea of From Software.

How on earth can I configure my 360 controller? I am NOT using the bumpers for my default shield block and light attack.
Can you explain that mechanic?
just leave the guild, I think it will undo it all.

Wait, if you join a covenant it makes the game harder?
