what do you guys think a about a hypothetical mode where:

• nothing respawns when you kill it
  
• there is no retrieval of souls

cause I was thinking about it at work, and reckon it would make the game alot less repetitive/grindy. but the fact that you always perma lose souls on death, and that you cannot power-level from respawning enemies would still keep the game hard (reasonably).

like I died 30 times to sif, then power levelled a respawning mob, came back and it was piss easy. the soul values may have to be readjusted I suppose.

I praise the current system for being different, but I dont like it. Its not the loss, I like that part alot! alot of my fav games are full loot/permadeath. Its just the killing the same monsters, walking through same areas over and over that I can't stand.

oh yeah and I guess this is a PVE mode, whatever couldn't give 2 shits about pvp in a game like this.

thats what makes the game good after those 30 death you learn new thing and how to act in the area ( 30 is a bit to much lol ) and then when you finaly kill that boss your like YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAA! mmm damn

so today ive been doing prepare to die content since Ive done rest of the game, except final boss. I never understood people saying I would need summons to kill bosses, I did them very pretty easy without. most are just a matter of standing where they cant hit you and DPS.

but knight of artorias and manus are pretty solid, both took me like 30 tries each and I had to play around with different tactics/items. knight; once I realised I need to be 25% wieght to dodge any attacks with roll; it was actually quite easy. manus well I went full heavy with havels, and could actually block all of his attacks with my eagle shield (which I'd never used before!). but even so with all the different animations he does, 3 different spells, like 8 mele attacks. took me ages and that is gueninely how I beat it above, with 1 hp and no beverage left. So glad I didn't give up! thought I was already dead ;D

so who do you think is the hardest boss? its kind of hard to tell when you are different levels, 'cause they don't scale right?

Respawn is there for people who like to grind. Without respawn grind would be impossible and game a lot harder than it is.

If you want a true challenge, try SL1 mode.

the one i had the most trouble with first time was...........idk realy but lets say Skinny and Fatty is the hardest one to take alone

[Banok]

wierd.

I raped skinny and fatty alone, on maybe 3rd attempt without using any guides/help. I previously killed fatty then skinny seemed to become way too hard, so I went skinny then fatty and wasn't a too much challenge. was one of the easiest for me, can run behind a pillar and heal at any time.

also summoning for bosses seems more like cheating than backing up saves to me 

[TurmoilTom]

The bosses do scale with your level, to a certain extent, Banok. It's painfully obvious as soon as you attempt a SL 1 run.

[IR_Kuoin]

Migthy tro going for max lvl 20 or 30 play, just for the challenge

[Gravoth_iii]

summoning someone to help in a fight makes the bosses harder too, more hp and stuffs.
