Well, I hit a brick wall with Ornstein & Smough. This is fucked up.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition |OT| Durante Does In 23 Minutes What From Can't

This was always a summon spot for me. Burn a humanity, become more human than human, pray to the gods to see summon signs before the inevitable invasion of the dickholes ...
Shouldl I upgrade my Murakumo to +15 or fire +10 with str 28 dex 40? My Uchigatana and Estoc are both +14 and I think I do want something a little different, though not at the expense of good damage. The Wiki says fire +10 does a little over 600 damage. Will I need to use resin on it to do that much at +15?

I think it has more to do with the Covenants than ease of warping. Almost all the original bonfire warp locations were Covenants and it just so happened two of them were there in Anor Londo. In fact, the only covenant that doesn't have a warp is the Forest Covenant I'm fairly certain, if you count Firelink as Way of the White because of Petrus.
The new warp points actually took into account ease of traveling, I guess.

There is already trainers, you can already cheat.
Save editor just makes it a little easier to get shit like armors or whatever that you normally can't get via a trainer (but if you're smart enough you can still get)
I don't care.
just pick them up, there are 2 to pickup per run now.
Glad to know I am not the only crazy person that thinks of this.
Sensibly FROM should have PvP and make players use set builds/gear setups or give them a practice zones to tweak your class to see what builds can be like.... the issue with the latter is that is stops people playing around with builds while playing the game.
wait, wut? where?
The editor has limits (99 on items like magic/resources, 999 on ammo) but there are no limits on soul levels, so yes you literally can have 99 stats but a level 1 soul level.
Now, you can't edit anything with the editor just yet because there are hashtags that need to remain with the save file that keeps you from editing them (being worked on) but it is possible.

Sigh... the PVP in this game has so much potential too.
Decent fights are few and far between
Whenever I get invaded and just get some guy with his shield up trying to strafe around me and backstab non stop all I can do is shake my head
The thing is there WAS a covenant near Giant's Tomb but they didn't place a bonfire near it and there was no warp. Undead Parish (finally) getting a warp was just an oversight,

With that Save Editor, is it possible to change the order of the characters? Would be great to remove the empty space above.

Pretty funny how the OT of the PC version of Dark Souls turned into cheat talk.

Inevitable on an open platform, which also allows stuff like Durante's fix which makes the game 100x more awesome.
Great power, great responsibility etc...

I don't understand why a simple mathematical check against Soul Level and current stat levels when connecting to a host wouldn't go a long way to solve the problem. I had the same question when the game launched on consoles. They could still cheat to get gear but it should be easy enough for the host to prevent a client with impossible stats for their SL to connect.

Durante should implement an anti-cheat feature in his mod so people are stuck with shitty DS when they decide to cheat online.
On the plus side,
New Londo Ruins after the drainage is a bit less nerve-wracking than the topside was. Unless I'm missing something, though, there's no bonfire in the area, which means you have to rely on the bonfire just before the shortcut to Valley of the Drakes in Darkroot Basin.

Most would use the Firelink bonfire
It doesn't.I though that it did?
But on the other hand, I'm not sure if it works?
However, GameSave Manager + Sync and Link + a Dropbox account works just fine for cloud saves.
That means ghosts, though, and I really don't have the energy anymore to spend any time with them. I was lucky I survived the dozen that decided to swarm me all at once when I got to the church.
There is an elevator in the church that leads to firelink shrine and a bonfire at the parish near the side entrance above the blacksmith.
Oops these shortcuts are for WHEN you make it to the church.
Yup, using GSM with Skydrive before & after every game.
You can skip a small section of tunnels and the underside of the bridge, but it involves doing something ballsy. What part of the burg is giving you trouble?
And yeah, there's the thing Raxus mentioned but it has to be unlocked from the church.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
The first bonfire in Undead Burgh has a shortcut you eventually can open up that allows you to climb a ladder that leads up underneath the Fire Drake bridge.
EDIT: You can also bull rush the Drake and run underneath it to get a quick shortcut to the church which is what I think Orayn mentioned.
The method I use for rushing past the Fire Drake to reach the chapel rather than going under the bridge:
Climb out of the underbridge area and shoot an arrow at the drake so that it swoops down, as it is swooping down run past it's legs as fast as you can. 50% of the time he might just do a flame charge which will mean instant death but the rest of the time if you run fast you should be able to just barely make it safely into the chapel to reach the sunlight alter, a cool extra bonfire and watch the drake fly off into the sunset.
Well, Sync and Link (i.e. symlinking) means your saves get stored inside the Dropbox folder. What that also means is that you can use Dropbox's previous versions thing to save scum since the game saves every couple of minutes. (Not that I'd recommend that!)
Yeah sorry, I finished the church already but it seems like a long way, maybe I am just impatient today.
Argh! Im scared.
Also opened up the door at where the Dragon is, maybe there?
I prefer having the saves there with time and date end everything, not a big deal

mh no, from the firelink or valley it's the same path when you reach the ruins. you find 3 ghosts that you can outrun without a problem then you fall down and you're almost at
the 4 kings.

I was invaded this evening, and it was awesome. No cheater or anything. The guy invaded, watched me finish the fight with a skeleton I was fighting and then he bowed gracefully before we started smashing each other's face in. I died though, but it was a great fight.
I love this game.
In other news:
To let off some steam from the Ornstein & Smough fight I went to the catacombs to kill Pinwheel. This has got to be the easiest boss fight in the game, right? A question: is there a shortcut from Pinwheel's room back to firelink shrine or something? Don't tell me I have to backtrack
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Pinwheel is definitely considered a cheese boss. In the grand scheme of things I think they mean for you to kill him a lot earlier in the game than most people attempt to but they don't do a good enough job in pushing you that way quest wise and the graveyard skeletons repel a lot of new players from further exploring.
Homeword bone or backtrack I'm afraid. Be grateful you aren't one of those sad fools who got all the way through Tomb of the Giants to almost reach Nito's chamber before having to turn back and trek ALL THE WAY BACK OUT.is there a shortcut from Pinwheel's room back to firelink shrine or something? Don't tell me I have to backtrack

Lol. This was me on the PS3 and I did it in the dark as well! Almost quit completely when I realized I had to walk back out of that whole. Such a great game.
I feel like pinwheel sits in somewhere after you ring the bells or after Sen's.
Just the way the catacombs and pinwheel is tuned you can get through there really easily and give you the rite of kindling which will help you through the mid game.
Make it even easier if you get the divine ember and put a couple upgrades there.

Oh my god, if that was me I would probably just restart the game. Or on a lesser game I'd just stop playing.
Honestly, Catacombs would be a really cool early game alternate route if the skeletons didn't reassemble and it connected to, say, lower Blighttown after Pinwheel in addition to Tomb of the Giants.
Ah now I know where I think I missed something. This door here - when/where can I open it?
It's the hallway to Undead Burg.

That door is a shortcut that you can open up once you defeat the Capra Demon in the lower area of the Burg.
Although, I do suppose that you don't actually have to wait to open that shortcut up, but there's little reason to poke around in that area until he's taken care of.
