Dark Souls II

[Vibe]

Finally got a good DEX weapon (Uchigatana). Was sporting a +2 Falchion all the way up to now saving titanite shards/chunks for this - the damage was so bad I had to skip Gargoyles. Got Uchigatana up to +10 now, and upped my armor to +5 with spare titanites. Using Alva armor, which has a good weight/armor ratio and looks fantastic

Now I have a score to settle with a few bosses I skipped

Mostly points in DEX and END, some in INT and ATN for Great Soul Arrow. Definitely harder to play than the STR based build I ran with in Dark Souls. I do think that ranged makes some encounters VERY easy that would be pretty hard for pure melee.

Oh also, I've yet to be invaded. Not sure what the deal is there. I'm a Blue Sentinel and have also yet to be summoned to help with an invasion.

That armor does look pretty sweet indeed.

I only got one tactic : *keep backpecalm and soul arrow*

All these bloodstains around the black magic giants in harvest valleys. Melee characters must have a hard time dealing with them or something.

Hah yeah, I did that part completely with bow and arrows. Hell, one of the corpses up the ladder from where you can snipe the 2 giants even has 10 dark bombs, to make this easier.

I have the same thing. Perhaps some secrets aren't discovered yet?

Not really, they are pretty easy, just run past them

Also only been invaded 1 time as SL 40-ish in Harvest Valley, next invasions came 21 hours later when I was doing PVP in Drangleic Castle.

Did some invasion in the Undead Crypt, really fun place. He got help from a blue sentinel. A blue flare shot up over my head and he spawned pretty close to me, they also give you a token of spite and a "Target defeated" message when you beat him

Cool graphics that did totally not happen

[Gravoth_iii]

With GeDoSaTo you can get closer to that, but still not really the same :C

About the giants, just run past them!

Just played the game. I have never seen clunkier combat anywhere ever. Everything takes fucking forever, the controls are godawful, you cant block one handed (wtf) and the worst offense of them all, there is no solid lock-on system!

Screw this game and screw the developers, this game has nothing on risen 1. That game had good combat.

Sorry I am not boosting it with cat pics and 4chan stories I claim happened to me.
