Cool. I watched a video to explain the starting classes and the Mercenary seems up my alley. I'm thinking of focusing on Dex for katanas and spears.

Play without lock on
It's not impossible. Are you invading or getting summoned?
I find it's easier to co-operate with the host, run around killing enemies and collecting souls until a dark spirit shows up, then help to defeat them. Job done.
Every so often, the kind host might even present an opportunity for you to take his shackle... Don't pass that up!
In a 3v1 (or otherwise unwinnable) situation, it's best to just let your mad purple roots take control and act crazy. Give the host something to remember. Go out in style. Be the Mound-Maker. The grind is less painful that way.

Few notes after PVP
1) people who heal during fight clubs are idiots and deserve to get run over by a bus
2) people who use quality builds with insane stamina + clamors are booooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrring
3) fight clubs are a fun environment when assholes are doing #1

The most annoying thing is that there's just a small variety of movesets that are actually effective (re: too effective) in pvp and it's just annoying to have to be funneled into those playstyles just to be able to not be completely disadvantaged.
Swordspears and Uchis everywhere
edit: the effectiveness of the running stab is stupid; I've always hated how shitty the lag is in pvp. I think "fair" pvp is just a giant farce.

How much does luck/item discovery actually affect drop chances?
I tried farming items for one of the covenants and the drop rate with 55 luck, and all the item discovery gear I could muster (rapier offhand, rusty coin, gold covetous ring, symbol of avarice), and it made no noticeable difference to me.
Hell, I got more drops in 25 or so runs after helping someone beat a boss with 11 luck than I did when I had did several runs after I had respec'ed to have my luck at 55... I'm already losing my sanity and I need 20 more of these things.

In my experience it's better to think of magic weapon as your main spell, with the ranged ones being more for ranged support.
Despite posts like yours, which I've seen a few times, I'm looking forward to doing a magic build. Attunement giving slots and FP makes it a much easier build to spec for, and there are a lot of spells I never used (I only did one run of 2, and that was melee).
I plan to do everything in this game, just like I did with 1. Already a mixed build, and I'll do pure str, dex, int, fai, luck, non-scaling weapons with high vit/end, bow only (hopefully it's not too limited by 99 arrow limits), themed builds (Solaire, etc).
Is there a save file limit this time?
But dual blades

Just had my first 2v1 invasion in Crucifixion woods.
That was fun. -_-

I keep getting summoned into gang bangs when I invade and I'm not getting summoned with the white stone at all.

He was fun, except for the random flame storm that made me have to take the guy in two tries instead of one. Too bad I couldn't use bleed on him, the only thing I'm miffed about, but I get why it's literally impossible lol.

Regardless, most eerie place I've been, feels substantial for being optional.
Also,
?
tended graves and the other firelink there is so interesting to see. Does it mean that our firelink is somewhere far in the past and the one shrouded in dark is the real one?
Also,
can I give the firekeeper eyes without jeopardizing my Usurping end

created a 2nd chracter and decided to help noobs in the first area by putting a summon sign, host was invaded by a guy with late game items, im talking about full ornstein set's and stuff like that.
I really dont get what's the appeal to invade noobs. welp at least i managed to kill him :/

I put a
message down in Untended Graves near where Patches would be and it appeared in Firelink Shrine as well
Just keep playing for now. You'll be able to buy it after killing that particular boss.

Frostbite is super effective against him.
I've just been using bleed on pretty much every boss it worked on, its pretty effective I'll say considering I'm SL50 and using Carthus Rouge often as well.

Oh for fucks sake, you can zoom in with the bloody crossbows? 30 fucking hours of shooting arrows just over shoulders, oh my god
Yeah, I hear you. I mostly love that boss the most because I ran out of vials and just barely survived. It was pretty damn intense.

You can if you want.
She will ask if you really want a world without fire; so long as you say "it's not what I really want", I think you're fine. You can also select to not jump into NG+ from the end, so you go back to your current NG playthrough. This is when I gave her the eyes and she asked me if I wanted the world to be in darkness...

Man, I just cannot beat

16th boss,

I'm still in early game. Do you know how demotivating it is to look around the Road of Sacrifices for like an hour just finding all the secrets, alternate paths and elevated roads, just to be taken down against one of the two dudes with what looked like Dragon Tooth, when you've been fighting them for ten minutes and he has one hit left before being killed. It was intense, but I lost because I got greedy. I will never find my way back! Will get back to it today but man, I thought I was doing well!
Do the giant enemy crabs respawn? Noticed I got a ring when I killed the first one. The other one I snuck past because I was low on estus and wanted to explore more.

They're pretty much straight across the water from the halfway bonfire (kind of angle slightly left when going).
Yes, they respawn.

They respawn sadly.

Why would the game design it so I have to go to the place where I died during an invasion to pick up my souls?
Very dumb

Ah ok, so my decision to not use a buff in phase 2 to avoid getting sniped was the right one I see.
I've been doing some sl50 invasions on the first bonfire at the peak, fun times, especially when I land sacred flame. :3
The place is pretty wicked when you've got a full spread of invaders, mads and blues.
From what I know,
if you give her the eyes and say that you want darkness, you can still backtrack that by killing her, She says in a dialogue that you can kill her when she has the eyes and she will return to life without them.
Poise is useful as hell. So yea armor is useful.
No it's not? I have the beefiest set on in the game, totalling like 80 equip load and it's doing jack SHIT for stopping anything coming my way. I'm a long time souls vet, and armor feels about as useful as wrapping tinfoil around my guy.
Why does every boss have to change the damn rules halfway through, every time? Currently butting my head against

Also kinda bums me out that with 30 hours in the game, the only weapon I found that scales A with strength is the

I'm speaking in terms of PVP, dunno about PVE, also never fat roll, ever, never never ever. Armmor of Thorns deals nice poise damage on rolls though I'll say.
