[Orthogonal]

Kinda sad people need help on that boss lol. Or more so, some attempt it without even trying it solo.

True, but I don't care how other people play bosses. I just love to Sumbro. The best way to grind souls.

 

[Conscience Falls]

With three hours of sleep I think I'm ready.

 

[Adry9]

gets sent in two hours

Well, I guess they're technically on time. Anyway, thanks for the heads up, I won't be pre-ordering from them in the future.

 

[E92 M3]

I'm just trying to grind covenant rep early as lol.

I'm not blaming you, just surprising you're getting so much activity there lol

True, can't wait to Sunbro myself. I'm sure many people will need help with

the Princes.

Same here.. 11 hour shift is tough today. Debating on sleeping as soon as I get home and waking up early before work tmrw to play for a couple hours or.. playing tonight and probably getting little sleep again. Shit's rough.

 

[rdytoroll]

I'm gonna start with Knight, want to play with that sweetass armor from the beginning

 

[Drillary Clinton]

Guys started with knight and spent all my souls to upgrade vigor to level 18, should i continue pumping vigor to level 20+ or its enough for early game sections

I beat the game with vigor 26 you're fine

It's every 15-40 seconds lol. Guessing it's just the new player rush and a sun sign being attractive this early in.

As tonight approaches it'll probably only get busier!

Do covenants level automatically or do I need to turn in sunmedals like previous games?

[DoctorFling]

Have to walk into town after college tomorrow to pick up my sexy steelbook. The wait is gonna kill me before I even reach the first boss

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Getting clowned by Centipede Demon in DS1 getting ready for DS3.

I one shot this the first time I fought it.

Must be getting old

 

[Darryl M R]

I still suggest going knight if you want to min-max stats for PVP more than likely if you aren't using spells Knight will be the best for you.

 

[rdytoroll]

Same here. Fashion Souls > Dark Souls

I think I could play with that armor through the whole game. Looks sooo good

 

[Unai]

True, but I don't care how other people play bosses. I just love to Sumbro. The best way to grind souls.

Indeed.

2 hours, it unlocks at 11pm

 

[Pops Maellard]

This guy know's whats up.

That said, I definitely avoided it in DS1 until I had Havel's ring. It looks sexy AF, but fast roll is also aesthetically pleasing.

 

[Kazuhira]

3 hours left,fuuuuuuuuu..

Are you on PS4 now? Is the performance noticeably better than on Xbox One.

 

[Frillen]

After watching a video of a guy playing Warrior I think I'm going with that. The axe look awesome.

 

[Rhaknar]

3 hours left,fuuuuuuuuu..

again, 2

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Just to make sure, this is unlocking for everyone who got it on Steam in just under 2 hours right?

 

[Audioboxer]

It definitely is. Most notably around areas with fog. XB1 really struggles at the beginning for example.

 

[ISee]

yes

 

[TitusTroy]

Global yes,
edit: is the frame pacing gone on PC version? or do we need to work around

 

[Burgess_101]

I'm getting out of work at 10pm today, fucking blessed. Drive home, eat something, 11pm, rage at the decryption time, play some motherfucking Souls.

It's just late enough to make me wonder about starting tonight, I don't know what to do

My plan was to play for an hour but I don't know if that is long enough.

 

[phierce]

Midnight Eastern (9pm pacific, etc).

Cheers. Yeah, the opening run to Firelink Shrine is pretty painful on XB1.

 

[J4g3r]

This coffee I'm brewing would even give Iron Tarkus a run for his money.

I think I'm ready.

 

[tesqui]

Just started my second playthrough now that the English servers are online. I think I'm appreciating the game a lot more my second time through. Also I changed my build to dex and it's been significantly harder than strength.

 

[AngryMoth]

Think I'm gonna try spec towards a dark infusion and use pyromancy for my first english run, since I didn't experiment much with spells on the import version. Thinking about what weapons to focus on

 

[TheFlow]

anybody bought this from GMG?

 

[Rhaknar]

anybody bought this from GMG?

yes

 

[Freezasaurus]

Did anyone double-dip and buy more than one edition? I have the CE pre-ordered, but god damn I don't want to wait until tomorrow. Digital is so tempting.

 

[Audioboxer]

Man these summonings for 1st boss are like every 10 seconds now lol

 

[TheFlow]

yes

still waiting on my key


edit: bought it 20 mins ago

 

[Onemic]

Im gonna go Pyro, completely disregard int/faith till NG+, and pump stats into dex and vit

 

[K' Dash]

Cooking lunch now, less than two hours.

 

[J4g3r]

Man these summonings for 1st boss are like every 10 seconds now lol

It's their prerogative and all, but I'd like to think they're at least trying on their own at least once.

Either that or they're new to the series entirely and they're just curious about the signs.

 

[LunaticHigh]

Holy shit at the framerate. It's worse than Dark Souls 1 where I'm at now.

Spoiler

Currently just outside the great tree thing. My framerate tanks to what looks to be sub 20fps for long periods of time there. It's a huge open area with multi-tiered levels, but damn does it ever suck

 

[ISee]

Im gonna go Pyro, completely disregard int/faith till NG+, and pump stats into dex and vit

But don't you need faith/int for pyro spells?

 

[Audioboxer]

Some of the summons are for 2+ tries as no cutscene. Most are with cutscene though.

I had it pre ordered and got mine this afternoon mate

That's not what my Playstation is telling me.
