new londo and tomb? or final area.

Is everyone on PS3? Poking around on other sites is suggesting that people are having more difficulty matching up on 360.

What a coincidence, I've been killing Darkwraiths in Anor Londo today! Maybe we met.
Seriously, I liked the PvP/Coop in DS, but it's so, so much better now. Exploring Londo for the first time with an experienced white ghost has been the most fun I had in weeks, video game-wise.

I haven't been online today yet unfortunately. It might be fun to meet too, what soul level are you? My evil invading character is at SL 50 (maybe 51 can't remember).
Should probably add that I've never been invaded by a Darkmoon avenger so far, no idea why. I've been indicted at least 3 times.

Didn't think I'd see much summoning in ng+ but I'm at Anor Londo at SL 85 and I'm getting summoned loads. Still getting loads of invasions as well, getting better at the pvp slowly. Speaking of which, anyone got any good counters for someone that comes at you with tranquil walk of peace and then flings fireballs at you?
I got invaded by this person multiple times in Anor Londo. All he did was stand in my face and spam Great Combustion, which was enough to kill me with all those sorcery boosters. It was ridiculous enough that I've started carrying Flash Sweat as my one pyro spell when I pvp.maomaoIYP said:
I don't get how a level 1 invades a level 53 though.

I'm having difficulty on the PS3, but I don't have anything to compare it to .
My Darkmoon experience was
fail to connect

invading player has entered the boss area
invading got a reprisal, yes
fail

invading connection lost
SL is 128 though, kept trying to avoid leveling up, but then I would get crystal soul spear then it was dragon's breath, then it was would 60 in Int plus enchanted spear +5 do more than a lightning spear +5. If the book of the guilty is any indicator, everyone is keeping their SL at ~50 or lower.

The tactic is still speed. I would suggest using a high damage spear with a high stability shield. You can still wear Havel's armor for the poise & defense. Wear the Cloranthy ring to keep stamina up.
The only real difference in tactics is that you keep your shield up instead of two-handing and need to be careful about when you drop the shield to regain stamina. If you are having trouble killing them fast enough, cast Power Within.

I think the buffer for the roll is way too long. I find myself rolling twice or thrice after pressing the button in a hurry. On the other hand, I don't think I've had a problem with the buffer for the other buttons.
Something that has killed me plenty of times is the zelda like targetting system. Having to target to use spells is annoying but understandable.
But changing how your rolls work when you are locked is just trying to kill the player. Many times I tried to roll away from an enemy, only for my man dropping to the side into a hole.

Well, happy to say that again (most bosses have been one either the first or third try), on my third attempt, I took out
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to
because I just couldn't get around in time to hit it; so I just focused on taking him down. I'll focus on his tail in the NG+.
Regardless... great fight and awesome boss. Now, the final parts of
Not looking forward to those, but I am getting close.
I hate you work... you stop me from enjoying this game everyday!
Seath the Scaleless. First time, I just made a mental error and couldn't avoid his tail quick enough. Second time through however, I absolutely kicked his ass in about 3 minutes. Avoided his curse and took very little damage from his crystal spikes that just out of the ground through careful avoidance and awareness.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to
cut his tail off,

Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith.

4 kings difficulty is all down to getting in as close as possible, like quite a few bosses they're at the least dangerous at touching distance.
Looking to farm Titanite slabs atm, but having no luck -despite what the guide says- from the Darkwraiths in New Londo Ruins. Anyone had success from this, and how much humanity were you stacking?

Great progress today. I cleared out/farmed lower Demon Ruins before heading out all the way back from where I came. This meant joining the Chaos Covenant and learning a new spell. Then I was able to upgrade my Zweihander to +9 and also leveled up Strength to 40. So I'm now in Sen's and so far Snake dudes ain't got a chance. I felt like a total badass. And then I opened a certain chest....
Fuck you, Dark Souls, you awesome piece of shitty awesomeness.

It's always been inconsistent for me, the one time I went in there to try and farm, I got zero drops with the Serpent ring and 10 Humanity on me. Then I went in there with no humanity and no serpent ring, I was going in there just to grab the ember, and I got 3 drops in a row, and 5 total. I don't suggest farming there, just get a little further into the game and farm the final area, the drops are 100% there and all types of chunks are dropped. Just don't beat the final boss until you are satisfied with your Chunk count.Clear said:

lol, i had the same reaction.
Okay after 2 hours of frustration I decided to try to summon some phantoms for coop. I rarely summon since I hardly ever use humanity period but man when you're truly stuck on a boss there's no better feeling than having some backup.
I summoned a Phantom and Solaire. We took out Smough so fast, I was excited as fuck thinking "there's no way this can go wrong", we were destroying them... yea. Super Orstein is bitch hard on NG+. He took out Solaire first with a short combo, then me and the Phantom are doing okay, we get him down to about 1/5th health and it's looking good. Then he turns to face the Phantom, starts winding up his lightning spear grab and 1 shots this guy in a second. Now it's back to 1 on 1 me VS Orstein. I get a few more hits in, see his lightning spear winding up, badly timed roll... 1 shot killed.
I've made it my goal to beat this guy today, solo or coop, and when I do I'm going to spend the rest of the day just helping guys out VS Smough & Orstein. This is painful.

I'm guilty of this. I've only rated 3 messages and never indicted anyone. Too lazy to dig through the usable items and I don't want to have them take up a quick use slot.

I got one on one run toward trying to kill the 4 Kings. I remember reading something about they only dropping if you haven't killed the 4 Kings thought.Clear said:

You don't have to have the indictments in a slot, the game will automatically ask if you want to indict as long as you have them in your inventory. Orange soapstone isn't worth using a slot for but it's right at the top of the list when you select use item from the menu so it's pretty quick to just do it like that. Having said that, yeah I don't rate messages much anymore. I always used to do it whenever a message led me to discover something I would have missed though.

Fighting Nito...he's a dick.
That is all. : /
It's been too chaotic for me to notice but if I kill the skeletons with a divine weapon, they're down for good, yes?
And do I need to kill the giant skeleton with divine as well...or can I just blast them with pyromancies and they stay down?

Lots of work + Blightown = I haven't touched this game in weeks.
Last time I played I beat

I am soo sad :<
I wish I knew about this before I beat Ornstein and Smough. I would've beat Ornstein last to get his armor. Smough's body and helmet with the antiquated skirt and some gloves make up the best armor under 50% weight I can wear, but I look SOOOO UUUUGLYYYY
Seen how Twinkling Tatinite can't be farmed other than from lizards, and the counter goes up in NG+, I will wait with farming them, meaning I'll have to endure looking like a proper dunce. Gah
