NK is relentless, just as I get the dodge game down, he manages to sneak a hit in with his chain attack and stagger me just enough that my other dodges miss, don't know if I should try with a shield.

Yeah as someone who likes playing Dark Souls as a single player experience locking things behind multiplayer like this just bothers me quite a bit. I don't mind the occasional duel, but I love these games for the atmosphere, environments, difficulty, and lore. Having to co-op to get Sunlight Medals for Miracles was kind of annoying, but at least co-op can be fun. PvP is just annoying though for a lot of reasons.

I've finished my first playthrough using the Astora Greatsword. Like with the previous games your approach with the enemy/bosses depends on the type of weapon you're using. GS now have hyper armor on the first few startup frames so you can poise through certain attacks. Its nowhere near 'impossible'.
Although they could use a slight damage buff.

In the latest patch notes, they did mention that if there is a significant level difference, and if there's a lot of activity in the zone, then the password summon could take a lot longer than normal.

:lol I am doing the same thing as you
Impossible, no. Harder enough to not be really worth it, yes. I could and did have drawn out fights with bosses trying to force myself to use a UGS. Played it Ultra-save and only hit seldom. It worked. The boss did in fact die. Would have died approximately three times quicked with a very basic broadsword though. You can complete the game with any weapon. In that sense they're all viable. I'm just not in it to impose other challenges for myself. I'm not new to these games anymore, but I'm not also that good.
Hold the weapon skill button down for a few seconds.

2 hand the sword (triangle)
Press L2 and hold until it's fully charged (5 seconds or so)
Press R2 or R1 to unleash it.
Hold L2 for a long time while 2 handing. Then release with R2

Wait, I thought Strength and a big weapon was easy mode this time? Isn't that what everyone was saying last week?
I had planned on a Strength/Faith build for this game and thought I'd just level Strength for a while, until I found a Miracle vendor. I'm now at the Road of Sacrifices, successfully alternating between the Heavy Club and a Fire Claymore and wondering if I should even bother getting started on Faith.

Can someone explain how to get through illusory walls? I got through some in Bloodborne but it seemed like happenstance whenever I did. I see the messages on the ground but I don't know how to get through.
They're often just trolling

If your weapon plunks off the wall, then it was a troll message.

Are skills broken? I can keep using them even after running out of focus points.

Man, the multiplayer in this game is all kinds of jacked up. Once every few hours summoning will work. The rest of the time it's immediate "cannot summon" or me trying to lay a summoning sign but the sign doesn't actually appear.
Still haven't gotten a password to work once.
I sure can get invaded no problem though. Oh boy.

In before everyone tells me it's my fault and the game is perfect. 
We're in the same region, country even. It's weird, he doesn't even see my summoning sign while my other buddy did and could summon me basically instantly after I placed it.
After some thinking I assumed he must have done the Dancer sequence break but neither he nor the other guy did, so I have no idea why he can't see my sign.
Invading is apparently not restricted by password so that explains the random invasions.

HELP
I have killed Horace in the Smouldering Lake, and when I go back to the Catacombs to tell Anri that he's dead, he/she's not there, only a prism stone on the ground. Am I screwed?
but do you have a test tomorrow that you're not ready for and is silly hard and if you get an 81% or above you get out of the final with an A in the class? THOUGHT NOT
No, same thing happened for me.

Try putting the summon sign in another location besides the bonfire. When my friend summon my level 70 and his level is 15, we had to put the summon sign away from the bonfire.

Does this game let you permanently kill all enemies in an area like DS2?
Also what are some stat lvls to aim for, I have been dumping into endurance so far.

Thanks.
Is it near the sea or where is he ? Up to the sea I think I cleared everything.
Nope, other than special enemies they don't despawn.
Hm alright, I'll consider that next time we try, cheers!
I might just be really experienced with the series at this point, but nothing posed any real challenge to me. It's real easy to bait those knights into an attack just outside their range to counter them with a couple hits.
I wouldn't really mind stuff being tied to PVP and covenants if they _WORKED_. Especially since the alternative is to farm 100 covenant items with god awful droprate.

I just did this fight, and of course since it was my first time, and I didn't know what to do yet, I just tried fighting it normal. The hitbox on its stomp attack is LAUGHABLE. Not even close and it hits. It's like zero effort went into that, because it's a gimmick fight, but come on.
So yeah, what could have been an epic fight turns into one of the lamest fights.
