Do you have to be human to get the item find benefits of humanity, or does it work while hollow too?

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;37450115]Do you have to be human to get the item find benefits of humanity, or does it work while hollow too?[/QUOTE] I don't think you need to be human. I've heard people say being human improves drop rates, but it doesn't affect the drop rate stat at all, and I've never noticed any difference...

human only does one thing: gets you fuckin whooped when someone invades

I've yet to get invaded by a hacker. Mostly just people with no armor and a huge greatsword.

Invaders don't get enough credit. Today I found out how ridiculously unfun it is to try and invade someone who's so fucking early on through the game like they've only just reached Andre but they get a free god damn ticket out of a fair fight thanks to the games horrible regioning, he was basically lagging so much I was hitting him for no damage unless he was stood still whilst he was getting free backstabs from metres away. Fuck multiplayer man...

[QUOTE=postmanX3;37450075]As others have pointed out, grab the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring. Super useful. But why are you trying to get the Ghost Blade? It's pretty crappy TBH.[/QUOTE] I like collecting daggers, and for some reason I have a weird fascination with it ever since I saw it on the wiki page.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;37450202]I've yet to get invaded by a hacker. Mostly just people with no armor and a huge greatsword.[/QUOTE] yeah, I think most of the early-on PVP people just run through the boneyard and get the zzweihander

[QUOTE=69105;37450151]human only does one thing: gets you fuckin whooped when someone invades[/QUOTE] Also it lets you summon 2 people to help against those people

real men fight alone

Since I don't have it on PC, somebody promise me you'll go forest invading with nothing except the xanthous crown for me. It was always my favorite way to invade. Just imagine being invaded by some naked guy with a light-bulb for a head.

Just beat the Mechanical Boar by throwing an alluring skull into a fire 10/10 boss, would fight again

That wasn't a boss

i havent been invaded at all, and ive been human for like 3 hours

[QUOTE=Liem;37450889]That wasn't a boss[/QUOTE] Miniboss, I know I've got the Gargoyles later on. Still on par with the Taurus Demon falling off the edge.

[QUOTE=Devodiere;37450909]Miniboss, I know I've got the Gargoyles later on. Still on par with the Taurus Demon falling off the edge.[/QUOTE] Yeah, The Gargoyles aren't that bad, just kill the first one fast. Once you reach Fatty and Stabby. Blarg, Fuck Fatty and Stabby

[QUOTE=Devodiere;37450849]Just beat the Mechanical Boar by throwing an alluring skull into a fire 10/10 boss, would fight again[/QUOTE] mechanical boar??? more like mechanical bore he has like three movesets and so long as you roll behind him he's FUCKED. the undead soldiers are a bigger threat than he is if they made deadburg nothing but mechanical bores, even the newbiest of players could decimate them (And coupled with the drake sord if you shot off the bride wyvern's tail the thing drops in like 6-7 hits) [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] also estoc owns

Is there a shortcut from Blighttown to Firelink Shrine? Im in the swamp and don't want to go alll the way back for a sword upgrade.

[QUOTE=oscarr;37451868]Is there a shortcut from Blighttown to Firelink Shrine? Im in the swamp and don't want to go alll the way back for a sword upgrade.[/QUOTE] if you take the elevator up you can go through valley of the drakes and new londo(without meeting any enemies) which i find easier

[QUOTE=RautaPalli;37446529]The port is awful, resolution is locked to 720p, FPS is locked to 30 and the kb+m controls are terrible. They didn't even change any of the button prompts. And even then this game is fucking amazing and you should buy it.[/QUOTE] I didn't even know that motherfucker existed, I was trying to get the Rusty Ring then I fall through the floor and start screaming as it rapes me :v:

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;37451948]I didn't even know that motherfucker existed, I was trying to get the Rusty Ring then I fall through the floor and start screaming as it rapes me :v:[/QUOTE] Didn't mean to quote him, did you?

Holy shit, the dark wood grain ring has saved my ass so many times in Sen's. Dart trap? Ninja flip! Mistimed my run across a bridge? Ninja flip, fuck you giant blade. Snake things shooting lightning at me? Ninja flip and squish those fuckers with my zweihander. On an unrelated note, where is the bonfire in Sen's? All the ninja flips in the world won't save you from falling off of shit like a dumbass.

On the roof, there should be a broken, bombed border near the start. [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] There's a small platform with the bonfire you can fall down to.

You have to walk off and it makes it even more difficult because there's a guy throwing bombs at you.

Bought this game yesterday, been invaded twice so far. First time some heavily armored dude casually walked towards me with some homing missiles that automatically fired at me and killed me when he got close. Second time some dude in a robe turned my entire screen into fiery pillars.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;37448804]I wish more bosses were like the Stray Demon. You know, had a bonfire right beside the boss area so I could just instantly run back when I die? :v:[/QUOTE] Wouldn't want to make things too easy now, would we? Oh god I read that in Christian Bale's voice.

got a key for some place called depths initial reaction: yeah okay seems pretty cool, oh look a giant rat after 3 hours: FUCKING CHRIST FUCK THESE CURSES FUCK YOU RAT

[QUOTE=The very best;37452455]got a key for some place called depths initial reaction: yeah okay seems pretty cool, oh look a giant rat after 3 hours: FUCKING CHRIST FUCK THESE CURSES FUCK YOU RAT[/QUOTE] 3 hours in the depths? You're gonna love Blighttown, friendo

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;37452468]3 hours in the depths? You're gonna love Blighttown, friendo[/QUOTE] Most of it was backtracking trying to find my way back to undeadsburg

Beat Artorias last night. Very interesting boss. He took me down 3 times before I figured out a good strat. Oolacile is a cool area too. Haven't cleared it all out yet. I got school soon so I'll have to do that when I come home.

I feel like an idiot. Updated my drivers and now the game plays at a solid 30fps. Praise the sun brothers.
