[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;38252031]dsfix. 60 fps can somewhat increase performance on sluggish machines.[/QUOTE] Won't raising fps past 30 get you banned from GFWL?

[QUOTE=Vacuum;38252051]Won't raising fps past 30 get you banned from GFWL?[/QUOTE] Does GFWL Souls get banned for injecting data into your save? No you wont get banned. Not even sure if it has anti-cheat.

[QUOTE=Big Ben;38251902]Jesus I almost wish I had bought this for the Xbox instead of PC, I can't find anyone to invade and summoning/getting summoned almost never works.[/QUOTE] Ports?

[QUOTE=dogmachines;38250939]Really?[/QUOTE] Took me like, 5 tries to realize that there was a ladder there...

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;38252193]Does GFWL Souls get banned for injecting data into your save? No you wont get banned. Not even sure if it has anti-cheat.[/QUOTE] Alright, thanks for the information

[QUOTE=Foogooman;38252266]Ports?[/QUOTE] I've opened all the ones I've been told to open, no dice 9 times out of 10.

Idle for an hour in game then do multiplayer stuff.

I can invade/get invaded just fine, (although I actually haven't been invaded in a while) but everytime i try to summon someone, it just says "summon failed" :c

[QUOTE=Foogooman;38251225]I changed the style of naming these, giving each a unique title [B]Dark Souls - Cleric/Sorcerer 13 - Forced Backstabs[/B] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onrJZDpgfuc[/media] "More PVP action and a couple errands! In this episode we see a powerful advantage this build has and we also see the counter to that advantage and talk about a counter counter!"[/QUOTE] Oh man, had to laugh when you one-shotted the backstab fisher at 14:40. :v:

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;38252706]Oh man, had to laugh when you one-shotted the backstab fisher at 14:40. :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah it looks like this is gonna be a great anti-BS fisher build. Let them get half way around my back, use force to throw them off then backstab them. The best part is that you can't backstab with the shield raised so it's likely to catch them with the shield down and really stun them.

Bows seem really impractical as a main weapon. Does the draw speed increase with Dexterity or something?

After invading a butt-ton in anor londo. I invaded as white phantom, funny how I helped that guy kill O&S when just recently killed as red phantom.

It really depends what bow you're using though Some bows are actually really decent

[QUOTE=Big Ben;38254496]Bows seem really impractical as a main weapon. Does the draw speed increase with Dexterity or something?[/QUOTE] Well I beat the game with only a bow so you can use it as a weapon if you want, it can be great for harassing in pvp and applying poison. Occult Black Bow of Pharis +5, yo.

Well, that blows. You can't side with Kaathe and [sp]get the sad cutscene with Sif.[/sp] I'm sorry, but the invasions must take place!

I don't think some people are happy with me being a third silver knight to Anor Londo's death run.

Speaking of PVP harassment with bows, some guy invaded me in Anor Londo, dressed as a silver knight, firing the dragonslayer greatbow, next to the other arrow silver knights. I almost killed him, but a knight arrow it me in the ankle. Now I know how Achilles felt.

You'd be better off getting a +15 or upgrading to a different path like chaos or lightning.

Occult bow with moonlight arrows is the maximum damage you can achieve with a standard(not great) bow!* *40 dex 50 faith required ** I was also talking about pve

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;38255719]WRONG! Occult bow with moonlight arrows is the maximum damage you can achieve with a standard(not great) bow!* *40 dex 50 faith required ** I was also talking about pve[/QUOTE] Yes, but what I'm saying is that Hosts/Invaders won't do take that extra 10% of damage from Occult/Divine weapons like certain enemies will. Also: [quote] Fire arrows - Will give you the highest damage on Chaos or Fire bows Moonlight Arrows - Will give you the highest damage with Enchanted/Magic and Divine/Occult bows Large Arrows - Will give you the highest damage with a normal +15 or +5 crystal bows [/quote]

[QUOTE=slayer20;38255900]Yes, but what I'm saying is that you shouldn't use Occult/Divine if you plan on doing PvP. Hosts/Invaders won't do take that extra 10% of damage from Occult/Divine weapons like certain enemies will. Also:[/QUOTE] You get the crazy damage from the magic that get applied on the weapon and faith scaling, Mugenmonkey doesn't take into account the 10% bonus. Its irrelevant here. You still do more damage than a chaos +5. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/bows.png[/img] If you truly , [I]truly[/I] wanted to do a bow only pvp build, Occult BBoP.

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;38256004] If you truly , [I]truly[/I] wanted to do a bow only pvp build, Occult BBoP.[/QUOTE] The composite bow would probably be better than the BBoP in PvP. It has a shorter range, but if you're doing PvP, then you'll probably be pretty close to your enemy. It doesn't do too much more damage (40dex/50faith/occult+moonlight), but it would probably out-class the BBoP if you used the Hawk Ring with it as well.

[QUOTE=slayer20;38255900]Yes, but what I'm saying is that Hosts/Invaders won't do take that extra 10% of damage from Occult/Divine weapons like certain enemies will. [/QUOTE] This is correct, to my annoyance.

the best indictments are the ones where you have absolutely no interaction with the host at all invade duke's can't find host anywhere suddenly "target was destroyed" "you were indicted" shrug

Okay, I'm playing a cleric and I've reached the point where Astora's Straight Sword +5 is no longer keeping up with my needs. What's a good weapon for a high faith buid? I have decent strength and dex so I can probably use whatever.

this is really pissing me off the fucking bonfire infront of [sp]Gwyndolin[/sp] won't work. I'm not sure if it's because I killed [sp]Gwynevere[/sp] but for some fucking reason it won't, and somehow, this piss-easy boss, is kicking my shit in I'm really pissed right now

[QUOTE=Saza;38257075]its not because you killed gwyneboobs thats for sure[/QUOTE] I thought it was the opposite of that though, all of the bonfires except for the first were supposed to work
