[QUOTE=HALP Cat;37359135]You shouldn't connect the scrapped content to the game almost at all, it got scrapped for a reason.

Wasn't serious.

Upon further investigation he seems to just be using velka's talisman and is probably holding the TCC to confuse the enemy.[/QUOTE]
I did some testing on my 40 faith Dark Moon Blade rush character, even though i said i didn't want to go on dark souls until the PC version came out. And i can see why he has the TCC equipped on the Right hand. The explosion damage that Karmic Justice gives is due to the right hand equip ed weapon's magic adjustment. The TCC has a Magic adjustment of 272 with 40 Int. I dont have that on the character so i couldn't test it. But if you have the TCC out on the right hand. The explosion damage is going to be near the 900's. I dont know if the Crown of Dusk and the Ring of the Sun's Firstborn would improve on its damage seeing that Karmic Justice is a Miracle.
It doesn't matter what talisman you use to activate Karmic Justice on the left hand. The Magic Adjust on that does not effect it. If nothing is equipped when the explosion goes off, the damage is only 250-ish. If you have the Darkmoon Talisman on (191 Adjust at 40 faith) then the explosion is 515-ish damage. If you have a Catalyst equipped such as the Oolacile Ivory Catalyst (180 at 16 Int, dont think it scales), the explosion is 480-ish. This is without Crown of Dusk and the Ring of the Sun/Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring. I'll test with those and see if they do make a damage.
By the looks of it, Karmic Justice is more suited for terrorizing people at Anor Londo at level 50-ish. I dont think it could work at Level 120 PVP.

Do other spells also work like that typically?
Also according to one of my sources apparently the antiquated dress gives 10% boost damage boost to sorceries.
If you equip all items that boost damage (antiquated dress, dusk crown, Bellowing dragon crest ring, red tearstone and power within) you get a total multiplier of 3.3. Pretty sure thats the highest damage multiplier you can get in the game if you decide against using the dragon roar.
To demonstrate how impressive this is in new game+14 Gwyn has 8520 hp. Assuming homing crystal soulmass does 300 damage per orb under normal conditions then you could do 300*5*3.3=4950 damage.
[b]EDIT[/b]
Ugh apparently my source was completely wrong meaning you only get a multiplier of 3 which is less then then multiplier of hornet,red tearstone and power within completely invalidating my post.
So according to the countdown on the store page, this releases at like 7 PM EST tomorrow... uh? Weird timing.
Can't even view the game in the store anymore due to it being "unavailable in my region", yet I have it sitting in my Library.

I like it better than a midnight release. More time to play I suppose.

Do you guys think could prove to be a problem when downloading it?
[QUOTE=Rexen;37362537]Do you guys think could prove to be a problem when downloading it?[/QUOTE]
If it is find a VPN.
[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;37362512]I like it better than a midnight release. More time to play I suppose.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it occurs to me that 7 PM EST is actually midnight UK time. So it's technically still a midnight release, just in another region.

[/QUOTE]
I've never heard anything about the antiquated dress giving 10% boost damage to sorceries before, but that wouldnt matter since Karmic Justice is a miracle (The Bellowing Dragoncrest ring doesnt give any bonus damage since that only affects sorcerys). However the crown gives 20% boost to anything.
The Pryomancy flame gives power to Karmic Justice. If you have that ascended and plus 5 it will have 230 Magic Adjust. Thats about 623 damage. And thats before you add the Crown and ring. Your talking about 850-ish damage when it goes off.
The main problem with Karmic Justice that i have no idea when it will go off, Im thinking its the ammount of hits you get before it does. But it's sometimes random. Power Within might help, but you cant use that with the acended flame unless you want it to chew up your health quickly. Karmic Justice can go off when your character is in the animation of keeling over and dying. Maybe if they keep attacking you when your dead. You need the extra health to make sure it goes off. So having a red tearstone ring might improve the damage, but the main problem is getting it to activate when alive or right after they kill you. I think its when a enemy hits you 5 times that it goes off, if another enemy hits you then he gets that counter aswell, its not all connected.
For example. Hollow 1 attacks you 3 times, his buddy Hollow to comes out and attacks you. On his second hit it wont activate, Unless either of them get the 5th hit for themselves.
I think i got it figured out however. Im using a Buckler sheild on this new character who is only level 13, but has 20 faith since i started as a Cleric. Block 4 of their attacks and then let them hit for the 5th.
Will we get to preload this?
[QUOTE=SamPerson123;37322248]It does, you can actually stock up on them and keep hitting the chests with a weak weapon and use the talismans over and over to grind for the symbol of avarice.[/QUOTE]
I believe I heard someone say once that the Symbol of Avarice always drops from the last mimic in the game that you kill. I think it might have been EpicNameBro, not sure what video though.
[QUOTE=I_love_garrysmod;37363196]Will we get to preload this?[/QUOTE]
Not today, but maybe tomorrow a few hours before the game comes out.
It's funny, because it should be the 23rd everywhere right now. If it gets released at about midnight for the UK, wouldn't that mean it comes out the 24th?
[QUOTE=RichyZ;37369065][b]you can YARRRRG the preload iirc, but it would just be the preload, you still have to let steam decrypt it[/b][/QUOTE]
may the darkmoon covenant hunt you down forever if you do this
that and you get invaded by darkwraiths infinitely
Is the release the same for everyone?
[QUOTE=SweFox*;37369111]Is the release the same for everyone?[/QUOTE]
It should be. I think it should say 16 hours left on Steam for everyone.
2 am tonight for me. Nice nice, no sleepy.
For some reason I thought I'd be working when it came out, but it seems like I won't be.
However, I do have a dentist appointment. My mouth will be in some pain afterwards but I'll do what I can.
FOR DARK SOULS

FP Dark Souls clan go
First thing im going to do is make a deprived and farm for the baller swag sword, Heater shield and those cracked red eye orbs.
First thing I'm going to do is dive into any config file (or any easily editable file that doesn't require me to snoop around with a hex editor) and fix up as much shit as I can.
I think this picture describes everyone's favorite bossfight:

So its been seen that some people have already gotten their hands on the game by other means. Hearing a lot of things right now but you dont know if its just shit stirring or whatever. It's going to be a interesting few days.
Also...

Hey, would you guys recommend a Pyromancer? My friend told me it's pretty useful, but I rather see if you guys got any insight. Also is the Thief even useful? My character on my friend's PS3 is a Thief and so far he's useless. I have yet to use the master key.
