Managed to get 18 chunks from the Belltower covenant in less than 1 hour, couldn't even go up a short ladder before I was summoned. Sad that there is no potential to view players met or send mail :(

Pff, C scaling faith is more damage than A scaling dex, oh well..

The damage is underwhelming on the dragonslayer spear, if you land a R2 cast and stab at the same time its pretty decent but regular stabs even with counterhit and leo ring are not impressive... Might respecc into something strengthy instead, maybe use a greataxe or something..

Gyrm greataxe does look pretty tasty..

Just click on view players and recent games in the steam overlay, you can see the names of the people you played with there.

There's been at least a dozen plus who've seen me join their world, baby them through the area and then for some reason the boss always seems to aggro me without fail. I've done this on about 3-4 bosses now and after helping the host with the boss I've waved goodbye and jumped off the edge/immolated myself, etc.

I've gone a similar build to the one I had on my first run of Dark Souls. Medium/Light armor, two-handing a bastard sword, and maybe occasionally using a shield; although this time I've really upped vitality and endurance more than anything else.

Well I played enough on my pirated version to get an opinion of this game and I have to say I really started to enjoy it, will definitely be buying this on pay day.

 I wasn't sure if I'd like this game and when I first loaded it up on my PC I felt quite lost in all the numbers and other shit the game bombards you with but once I got the hang of the basics and started progressing in the game I really enjoyed myself. For someone that has never played a Souls game it has been challenging me at some points and of course has also made me rage a little, like when a shitty little hollow sneaked up on me as I was fighting, hit me and knocked me off the ledge  :lol:. I still haven't fully got the controls down 100% because I am using K&M and the game telling me to push certain xbox controlller buttons to do different moves means absolutely nothing to me, because I don't know what those buttons transfer to on the PC and the keybind menu doesn't really tell you all the extras, so I've generally just been picking it up as I went along.

As long as i dont spice things it shouldnt be much of an advantage, just getting access to weapons and rings.

Item trading can easily fuck balance. You can give items, upgrade items with means unavailable to the owner and give them back.

Meh apparently the gyrm great axe is also shit, B scaling str but since it requires 50 ser it seems it doesnt get any scalings anyways. Every weapon i want to try out just seems to be garbage. Maybe raw'ing it will help.. or lightning then buffing..

Muling in Dark Souls 2, at least on Ps3 enabled you to go to max level and have no soul memory :P

Also found this little texture bug in "The Gutter"
