Go back to the manor bonfire and go down instead of up.

The effect is purely cosmetic and as far as I can tell there isn't anyone that looks at you funny for it.
Thank you

When I summon a guy, all the other signs disappear. Weird. I don't like that kinda bossfight so I want to summon guys to get over it.

Are there any NPC summons? That seems like something that is oddly absent from the game. Maybe I am just missing it in the sea of player summon signs, but they don't seem as prevalent as in the first 2 games.
Dammit dude, I have classes another 2 hours
Quit one upping me ;_;
Or wait till 20k is negligible, nothing in that tower is essential before that point anyways.
I guess it just depends. There is no material disadvantage as far as I know, just cosmetic. There may be some quest line consequences that I am unaware of, though. And removing the
dark sign costs a lot of souls. However, accepting the levels does progress a certain story line that leads to an ending.

Got home from work super late last night but still got an hour of DSIII in before bed.
My first action was to fight the katana-wielding dude outside of the Firelink Shrine. LOL. He killed me at least 10 times before I managed to knock him off the cliff by pure luck. I was so pumped when I got the katana... until I saw it requires 16 dex and I only have 9. And I've been spending all my souls on leveling vigor so now it's expensive to level up stats. It's gonna be a long time before I can get dex to 16. feelsbadman.jpg
Despite that setback, I managed to fight my way to the 2nd boss and defeat it on the 3rd try. And that's where I left off. This game is a harsh mistress but oh god I can't wait to get home and play more!

At many boss fights, yes. Some require you to be doing their sidequest.

The Estus Shard is certainly useful.

I've still never gotten this to trigger for me or I've just not gone back and checked at the right time when she disappears or something...I've given her the dark tome every play-through so far (on my 3rd now) too.

Anyone got any tips for the High Wall? This game seems much, much harder than Dark Souls, as if there's a Black Knight-caliber enemy around every corner. I've spent most of the game so far either guard-broken or stunlocked.

I thought so too right, I played for like 1.5 hrs last night and thought it was waaay tougher. The problem also could be I've been playing DS2 on PS4 with a high leveled character and schooling things

I've never done the PvP stuff, if I die while helping someone do I lose my Souls? Wondering if it's viable to do that a couple of times before my next boss.

is it possible to invade after summoning someone?
the armor was there in the vendor all along, it just has a different name than I expected, and different icons
it looks so good, I have a fashionboner right now
also fuck you
die in a fire (actually that wasnt that hard, 4th or 5th try)
it looks so good, I have a fashionboner right now

Okay cool thanks! I just had the first big fight before I picked up the ember, but I doubt that's the first actual boss.

Having your messages rated restores health? Just happened to me
Dying in coop doesn't really cost you anything other then any items you expended while doing it.

You will lose your souls if you die I think.

Dodge roll is your friend against those armored enemies. That or git good with parrying. Also don't stand too close to them, all you'll get for that is a shield in your face. Keep mid distance and roll through their combos. Then go for a backstab or, if that fails, keep whacking em with R1 attacks until your stamina is barely enough for one roll. Roll away to gain distance and repeat.
Don't think you lose souls, but if you do you spawn right in front of your bloodstain anyway
If you die as an invader, your souls will be where you died in the host's game.
So which it it?
You 100% do not lose your souls when you are summoned for coop. This has been the case since Demon's Souls.
My PS Plus subscription ran out a while back, so I've just been playing the game offline. Feels good, reminds me of when I braved through Dark Souls 1 by myself long ago. Playing with and without online functions gives a little bit different experience. Maybe next go-round I will do online. We'll see.
Anyone?
You can actually get both of these without that key, with a bit of an agile jump.

And to do this I just go to some boss area and look for a white marking or?

I'm in the same boat, but am about to pull the trigger on PS+ now. I miss playing online with people so much, in my opinion it makes it a much better experience.
You buy the white soapstone from the vendor in firelink, and drop it in front of a boss door (or wherever). Then you will get summoned
You create a marking (by buying the White Soapstone from the merchant in Firelink) and wait for someone to summon you.
Using someone elses marking summons them to help you.
There's really isn't a way to perfectly aim it. Best way I've done is to auto-lock on enemy and then release that auto-lock and move the camera little by little to your preferred position
