I'm sitting at 2,5mil atm, waiting time for blood arena is like 1 minute or so

This SM is just making PvP in arena so slow.

How so? Arena matchmaking ignores soul memory and soul levels altogether.

By the way: someone on reddit made this calculator for SM. Notice higher tiers, if you have 3 mil you can be matched with someone that has 14 mil.

Really? So you can be matched with just about anybody?

Testers say it works that way, at least for blue arena. Though from the experience of running into super-overleveled havelyn mages with bazillions of hp with my under-3mil character I'd say its the same for red one too.

Yeah but the thing is mules can reduce your SM, so havelmages may simply be hackers.

Nvm didnt click the link.

Blue is much faster in terms of matchmaking. And it is clear that Blue has noting to do with SM. I've met guys there on my SL 30 chars that are obv. Way higher in SM (having items from Iron bridge).

To go back to what Nightmare said, I found myself acquiring more than enough souls just by getting summoned and searching areas thoroughly. Besides, the real determining factor for character progression is items and crafting. Those things are very cheap in terms of souls, but you need to explore to find them.

Obscure (or non-existent) explanations for key gameplay elements

That's basically the only valid complaint here. All the mechanical issues he encountered stem from this.

Im currently still fighting The Persuer, but tbh its an incredibly boring fight, its one big stalemate of letting him charge, roll right, make two hits and roll out of his reach again. I always die because I want to shoot him with a Ballista. 

Also ive seen some vids and all these dudes have these sweet starting maces that do 300 damage! But I searched around things Betwixt but I cant find the bloody thing!

Also, what are the pro's of humanity other then the HP boost?

[IR_Kuoin]

Might be pre-order starting weapon or morningstar. Upgrading a weapon early can be a huge benefit.

Hmm reckon id better use the morningstar instead of the scimitar I started with?

Also ninjad this in my last post: Also, what are the pro's of humanity other then the HP boost?
