[QUOTE=postmanX3;37522107]wait which are we talking about i'm so confused[/QUOTE] Dark souls the guy with a crystal sword/shield beneath the bridge which leads to the undead burg. I accidentally killed him am I doomed?

[QUOTE=n0cturni;37518381]This is what I do, works like a charm. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZl_C44qx1A[/media][/QUOTE] Anor londo Drake Sword Gold Hemmed set Im fucking dead

Smough set is better then the giants set unupgraded but and ornsteins armor has its uses but for the most part not really. [url]http://darksouls.wikidot.com/domhnall-of-zena[/url] Link shows you everything you miss.

Just finished the game, wasn't expecting NG+ to just start straight away, I wasn't ready to move on yet, I wanted to do the DLC bosses... Guess I'll start again, sort of sick of my Knight, any ideas on what I should play as next?

Might start over because I've killed a bunch of npc's and done things in an odd order :) Plus I've made a wanderer but levelled him with skills not really with a direction. Maybe sorcerer not sure :)

I don't understand pyromancy, 8 fireballs thrown at the taurus demon and only 2 did damage.

They're bad

[QUOTE=lockdown6;37523073]i'm playing knight and at one point i decided to buy a fireball spell and i tried it out and the fireballs go like halfway to the enemies then they fall to the ground[/QUOTE] Yes, they're really easily affected by gravity and they do not go very far. Takes some getting used to.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;37517946]So if a weapon shows 177 damage for physical and 177 for lightning, does that mean it should be doing 354 damage? I have the lightning spear found in sens fortress upgraded a little bit but it's only doing about 60 damage per hit on everything.[/QUOTE] depends on what you're attacking i know i did shit damage in sens and anor londo because everything was lightning resistant lol in the forest and blighttown though whenever i went back my lightning zweihander+4 did nearly full damage though

[QUOTE=Funion;34538148]ceramics have feelings too ;'o[/QUOTE] :D

I accidentally killed him am I doomed?[/QUOTE] Oh, OK, so we are talking about Domnhall. Uhm, not really... you will miss out on all the boss armor, but honestly not a lot of the boss armor is really worth wearing. It's more for completionists.

(the pyromancy flame DOES scale with Int, but the only thing the scaling affects is the glove's melee attack, so it literally does not matter at all.)

I cant beat 4 kings as pyro at SL 19. Everything up until 4 kings was a cake walk, but I can hardly stay alive and ill use all of my pyro spells, great fire ball, chaos fire ball, and greater combust, and its only enough to take one down and half another. Im using crest shield +2 and pyro flame +16 I even summoned the Witch but she bugged out and just died before even getting into the fog gate. All I want is red eye orb under SL 20 so I can just gank pretty much everywhere and be an all around asshole, is that to much to ask for?

It took me a while to learn the timing of most of their attacks.

[QUOTE=n0cturni;37524084]What attacks are giving you a hard time? It took me a while to learn the timing of most of their attacks.[/QUOTE] all of them, I have 10 vitality lol. Pretty much 1 hit and im gone, and I dont dish out enough damage fast enough. If im SL 19, and I place a summon sign, can I be summoned by anyone higher? I think im going to need help on this one.

Ah cheers postman will push on into Sen's fortress for the first time then :) Also I'm thinking it might be worth swapping out the drake sword for a falchion or something and upgrading it because the drake sword is a hefty 6.0 weight

As soon as you get the Large Ember from the Depths, and start working towards a few +10 weapons, it's just not worth using. In Sen's Fortress you can find the Lightning Spear, which is like the Drake Sword v2 in terms of being a really easy to get, no-scaling-but-good-damage beginner weapon.

This is interesting: [url]http://www.oxm.co.uk/45510/dark-souls-director-considering-an-easy-mode-really-sad-about-games-fearsome-reputation/[/url] [quote]"I personally want my games to be described as satisfying rather than difficult," he told the Metro in an interview (the translation is a bit "murky" by the paper's own admission, so apologies for any Engrish). "As a matter of fact, I am aiming at giving players sense of accomplishment in the use of difficulty. "Having said that, however, it is true that Dark Souls is rather difficult and a number of people may hesitate to play. This fact is really sad to me and I am thinking about whether I should prepare another difficulty that everyone can complete or carefully send all gamers the messages behind our difficult games.[/quote]

I hate when people describe Dark Souls as hard, when it's really more like unforgiving. The game doesn't do you any favors, sure, but it's also not actively trying to make you fail... it always gives you the tools and abilities you need to proceed, it just makes you learn how to play. Hard is something like IWBTG, which tries very hard to kill you at every chance it gets, with no warnings.

[QUOTE=Louis;37523307]They're bad[/QUOTE] GHR users don't use them for their stats, but for their looks. We don't need armour anyway.

It's not very hard, but it fucks you up bad if you make a mistake. skeletons, i'm looking at you

Once you know the traps, it's easy, because there are no pixel perfect jumps/tricks in the game.

[QUOTE=Chirno;37520485]Eventually someone will figure out why my nvidia card is locked at 15 fps :/[/QUOTE] Do you have a 120 hz screen?

When I set my resolution lower than my native (1600x900), there are these huuuuuge black bars. Anyone know how to make the image stretch out to fit my screen instead of being all terrible and bad?

I'm sure this has been brought up many times, but i just got this recently and have seen no ghost players or summon signs. Is there a fix to that or am i just unlucky?

Well just spent my first two hours in Sen's fortress, I'm now up to the Iron Golem and I've got the lightning spear, also found a slumbering dragon ring which is quite handy in some places :)

You only see phantom players of equivalent level, but summon signs can only be seen if you are human.
