You reaaaaaaaally need some more endurance
You are sweet. Make your favourite weapon +5 at least, you'll want to be ascending it soon. Can't go wrong with endurance/vitality. Endurance first for you though.
What platform are you playing on? The forest is kinda open for all levels and the butterfly is optional, not a coop hotspot. You'll find signs in the depths/blighttown at your current level and 10 or so higher.
ps triple
What are the Coop hotspots?
I hope its not dead I finally had time to get into the game after EVERYONE EVERYWHERE talking about it and I feel like I missed the boat :/
So I should just head to that cementary area from firellink shrine? Thats blighttown right?

Been playing this game again the past couple weeks. Played the PS3 version back in the day, but this one was $20 and I wanted to see that DLC... Also the game is gorgeous in native 1080p.
I'm having a little trouble joining or starting coop sessions. Seems like 90% of the time when I click on someone's sign, I get "summoning failed." When I put down my sign, sometimes I end up waiting upwards of 15 minutes even somewhere like Anor Londo. Is there something I can do about this (port forwarding, etc.) or is that just how GFWL rolls?

That's pretty much how the online matchmaking works in the PC version, unfortunately.
You can use this to quickly and reliably summon people on your friend list (they will need the mod as well), but, as far as randoms go, you're going to see a lot of failed summons.
Amazing! Anyway you can make a 1600x900 version?
Oh yeah, first post in the DaS community. I love Dark Souls and I believe I am on NG++++. I'm currently SL 166. I wish summoning was easier and such, are there any players online on the PS3 version? Where is the best place to get summoned or invade? [:

The game is not as challenging as its reputation would make you believe true. The real issue is obscurity: once the game systems are known, the difficulty takes a dive - by no means easy, but doable.
Someone mentioned they felt like cheesing the game by killing the gargoyles with an upgraded weapon. That tells you the gap between a player just starting and a player that is aware of the game's mechanics and what it means for the game's difficulty.
It is still a masterpiece. In a generation that has seen the wide practice of doing yearly releases of rehashed games, some of the shallowest games we've ever seen, a small studio in Japan with a shit budget created a truly magnificent game.
I just fucking wish budgeting for 2M sales became a thing, this whole "5 million or bust" trend is killing what I love in games. I'm tired of the mainstreamed, generic shallow crap that's flooding the shelves.
Here you go
You're the best dude.

Two titanite slabs from The Great Hollow, another two from ~100 darkwraiths and just now a red titanite slab from about my tenth chaos eater...and one titanite slab and the red slab were with default item discovery.
This twink sure is getting lucky!

So, I'm replaying this for the first time in 2 years and I fucked up. Summoned a guy, we fell down towards 4 Kings and for some reason I was under the assumption you could change rings upon hitting the bottom of the abyss. I was wrong.
Now I feel bad, that guy probably thinks I was griefing.

Naw, he probably just laughed and moved on. I used to do a lot of co op in New Londo to help people with 4 Kings. Whenever I would see the ring swap and that awesome animation of the player being taken by the Abyss, I would just lol.

Just finishing up my NG+ prep. lvl 90. Upgraded everything I need, kindled all the imporant bonfires, smashed almost every NPC, etc.
But I'm puzzled about one thing:
But I'm puzzled about one thing:
I killed Gwynevere, Anor Londo turned dark. Then I killed Gwyndolin. I can't get invaded now by Blade of the Darkmoon folks, right? Gwyndolin counts as an area boss? If so...fudge. :/ I wanted some PvP action with those guys before I "depart" for NG+

That's right. Did you leave any other areas open for PvP? Undead Burg is an easy/popular one to leave open for future reference.

nope. Kiln of the First Flame is the only one remaining. But no matter, I'm heading to NG+ really soon (just need to farm some humanities first, got everything else covered).
If you have any NPC's left alive, Dark hand them to steal any of the Humanity they may have, then kill them to get some humanity drops and unique items.

I know that, but thnx anyway.
But I need to farm a lot (50+ humanity) so I'll farm down
in the Chasm of the Abyss, lots of Humanity Phantoms. I have Symbol of Avarice. Hehe, I'm a lucky bastard. Dropped randomly from a mimic this playthrough.

I wonder if there are no subtile artworks of frampt or especially solaire. I know http://fuckyeahpraisethesun.tumblr.com/ but most of the solaire artworks are childish comic-like drawings.
Are there any other resources of unseen dark souls artworks?

I can probably help with my STR character who is 65. I just got it on NG+ with my dex guy and don't even need it haha.
I mistakenly posted this in the other DS thread, apologies.

One suggestion, is useless to wear the gold serpent ring during a boss fight, before the fogg change it with something more useful.

Okay, gonna need a hand from someone more technically minded here.
Just installed PC version on a 2nd PC (thank you Amazon sale), added DSFix and all the usual suspects. Loaded the game, and the character skin textures are all jacked up. Like, random colors with colored patches on them. Happens on all characters and all "types" such as Commoner, Astora Noble, etc.
I can't figure this one out for the life of me. I've turned on and off texture override (tried using a new skin texture from the Nexus too), fiddled with DSFix, I can't see what's causing it. Do I reinstall, or is there a known fix for this?
EDIT: Oh, and I seem to be falling through the game world as soon as I load a new game. XD
Turned DSFix off completely by removing the dinput8.dll, no 60FPS unlock, nothing. Verified the cache in Steam, nothing. Just keeps falling through the world with janky face. Help.

Trying a reinstall (at about 30%), if it still occurs I'll post a screencap.
Checked my drivers about a week ago (was having some issues with a setting on Tera) so I don't think they're bad, but I'll look again if it's still happening.
EDIT: Clean install seems to have done the trick; something must have went bad when I installed it last night.
Gonna try DSFix and all the other stuff one at a time now to make sure nothing I'm adding is jacking it up.

Huh. I... don't think you can? NG+, unless I'm mistaken, sorry.
I don't think you can :/

That guy is tough, how do you kill him by accident?
(It's actually interesting fighting him, though, because his AI is different then other giants. He actually moves around like he's blind. I did it once to get his stuff and just to see the dialogue.)
But yeah, you can't kill Kalameet without Gough.
this is my first time playing the extra content, i went to the guy and for some reason the GUI disappear (bugged) so i didnt know what to do so i attack him,and he killed me, then went to him again, and he was hostile
so i cant kill the dragon with arrows or something?

Unfortunately, you can't, as far as I know...for future reference, if an NPC goes hostile, you can go pay Oswald to have your "sins forgiven", which sets all NPCs back to non-hostile.

Has anyone fought a pvp match that somehow reduced your endurance? Is there anyway to reverse it? Was it a hacker?
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
There was a glitch/hacking going on recently that allowed a player to lower your stats, and worse, without lowering your SL, so your build was effectively fucked.
I thought this was patched in recently, though...
All I'll say is that if you ever encounter a stone greatsword, you should immediately disconnect.LiquidMamba

I'm pretty sure that is what happened to me. I lost 7 endurance while keeping the same soul level. He was also able to egg my head :-/ It was my first effective pvp build too...There was a glitch/hacking going on recently that allowed a player to lower your stats, and worse, without lowering your SL, so your build was effectively fucked.

That sucks. I really thought it had been patched. And that those affected by the glitch could relevel their stats somehow. Damn. What platform is this?

If you're on PC and using DSFix, you might have had save backups enabled...if so, you could probably restore one of the old backups.

WTF, does this happen on all platforms? i'm afraid to play on PS3 if someone can just ruin my save.
what the hell man

Wait, what? It's multiplatform? I thought it was somehow related to Megamule and didn't affect PC. Time to stop running around as Invader-bait.
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
I don't think it's related to the platform, but it's a glitch involving the stone greatsword. I'm not sure of the details. Like I said, if you get invaded by (or invade) someone with a stone greatsword, take no chance and immediately disconnect until the time comes when the patch is confirmed. Better safe than having your build ruined.

Anyone have any problems using a PS3 controller with Dark Souls?
My controller goes crazy and locks itself the last direction I was going in. I was using motion joy but I uninstalled it and installed this instead but that didn't help the issue. I'm playing through bluetooth if that matters.
I just can't get myself to play DS using a 360 controller so any help is appreciated.

Doesn't help much, but I never had a problem using a USB cable and the above methods. So it is probably your bluetooth in some way.

I feel like the button input lag in the PS3 version is back with the new patch. I'm not certain, but it keeps seeming to happen when I try to change to my shield. It's really random, and it reminds me of the issue that the PS3 version had back when it first came out (except I think it was just for flasks then).
