Dark Souls II

[bilwit]

Fuck I'm like 112 and I feel like I still don't know how to play this game. When I summon phantoms for help they're firing laser beams and shit and dropping NPCs in like two hits left and right. I'm 100% melee no magic or anything and it's like. Wat.

its not a bug its how its supose to be

So you are telling me the giant pillars in The Gutter are filled with corpses and whole furniture? When I died and came back they looked normal, that has to be a bug.

Illusions! only slightly more hollowed players see the real world! I also saw those weird pillars btw and it also confused me,.

To join the chat just go to you group page and click join group chat or w/e.

I heard its well optimised, that even shitty computers can run it smoothly at if not maxed then medium graphics.

Hmm, I am going to try it out by pirating it.. I hope this works!

[Gravoth_iii]

Ugh i need inspiration for a new characeter, currently thinking of a dagger thief possibly mundane daggers or maybe raw daggers with a build with 50 END... needs to be viable in pvp though, to a extent.

[IR_Kuoin]

Stone ring with daggers and 50 endurance? Why not.

After wandering around for about 2 hours and completely unsure where to go I finally found another path and realized I had done exactly what I had done in the first Dark Souls.

(click to show/hide)

Instead of getting owned by the Pursuer and looking elsewhere I dropped a summoning sign and helped others fight him. After realizing you could use the ballistas, and dying several times from allies shooting me with them, I went there myself and beat him solo.

I hadn't realized you actually could open the flood gate past the contraption and I'm assuming the last of the four giant souls is down here somewhere.

Some fun was had using all those Token of Fidelities I had amassed helping others and I found a spot in the Huntsman's Warf next to the bonfire where people were dropping red summon signs next to a tree you push over. What is that item right next to the bonfire that's almost impossible to jump to?

Crazy atmosphere when you head into some unexplored area and it's covered in bloodstains or orange signs bring attention to something you hadn't noticed before. Summoning and being summoned seem more reliable and PVP feels more fluid and a bit less laggy this time around, haven't experienced any teleporting backstabs and I can now fight without locking-on and being insta-backstabbed the moment I turn around.

I just miss the kick to destroy crates, barrels, etc. and I haven't been invaded yet in the ~18 hours I've played.

[IR_Kuoin]

I only got invaded once and that was in Harvest Valley. 18:40 was my game time when I beat the last boss

My only gripe in PVP is that I'm getting hit when I'm already outside melee range. It's like ghost backstabbing just a little less dreadful.

It's the same for the other guy, just dodge it regardless. If he's running at you and going to do an attack, you can bet he will be in range on his screen and maybe just out of range on yours.

The point is that I dodge, find myself two meters away from their weapon at the end of the dodge, and get hit anyway.

[Tor!]

Well, you gotta dodge at the right timing as well. One thing I found very reliable in DSII pvp is to dodge their attacks based on their animations, might sound weird since ghost reach exists, but try it, works every time. Can be hard with the fastest weapons, but I pretty much never get hit unless I trade hits.

[PieParadox]

i really love the look of the dragonslayer crescent axe. yet, even though it's a legendary weapon, it has crappy scaling and crappy stats overall (short, mediocre attack speed)... i wish weapons like these were a little more useful!

and twinkling titanite... why so rare...

does anyone understand the attack types? sure, there's slash, thrust, and strike, but it seems like I do more damage with a heavier weapon.
eg. heavy greatsword doing more damage than a claymore, even if they are both slash and have the same damage stats? unless i'm just wrong. i also hear that damage is based on sweet-spots as well (hilt slashing is weaker, etc)

Finished the game today, a bit of mixed feelings.

These guys arent in the game. This fight or location even isnt in the game. This? Still no. Neither this or that.

[Vibe]

Isn't that bridge in the game though, except the picture was taken on a foggy day (probably england) ?
