Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition(360,PS3,PC)v3 - Dark Magic is perfectly balanced - Games

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;38970848]holy shit i just fought the most skilled guy I've ever seen. It was awesome. we battled for like ten minutes, it was great. he healed up with estus, I used a divine blessing, then he turned off his console. I'm not even mad, that was so fun.[/QUOTE] Do you think skilled players ever use estuses in battle?

[QUOTE=BradB;38977174]Fuck you Amazon. The world exists beyond the borders of the US. [img]http://puu.sh/1FryG[/img][/QUOTE] Can't you just set your address to some random place in the US?

[QUOTE=Zombine;38977189]Do you think skilled players ever use estuses in battle?[/QUOTE] It depends, really. In my opinion I'd say it's not exactly "fair", but if I wanted fair duels I wouldn't be playing this. I'd like it if they DON'T, but when they do I take it as a personal victory even if I lose. Also, edited the OP to show some of my old example builds and explaining the rationale behind distributing the stats the way I did. Hopefully it'll help new people plan PvP builds out more. [editline]26th December 2012[/editline] Then again, I think there's a lot to take into consideration. I can't just give a blanket YES IT IS FAIR or NO IT IS NOT. If I'm in a PvP area that's basically known for being that and I'm at a level that most people aren't at in that location--for example the Undead Burg at SL100--then yeah, I kind of accept that we're in a duel atmosphere so it's in bad form to use them. That being said, if someone's being a dickhole, I have no problem using them. Same if I invade and get double-teamed. If I'm SL20 in the Depths and I get invaded, then fuck you I'm going to heal if I need to. really, it's Dark Souls so anything goes. There are unspoken community rules, sure, but it's not like anyone will care if you break them...I usually don't, but that's just personal preference I guess.

Why is Andre of Astora the only sane person I've met so far? Such a caring man, too. [sp];_;[/sp]

[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;38977342]solaire is a bro as well[/QUOTE] he said [sp]sane[/sp] [editline]26th December 2012[/editline] holy shit 1000 hours and i just now realized this you know how when you manually shoot a bow and arrow it eventually curves to the right? your reticle is a circle with diagonal lines. you can use the bottom right one to line up your shots. The further away they are, the further down the line you go. so if they're really far away, align their head with the very tip of the bottom right line. if they're closer, align with halfway up. [editline]26th December 2012[/editline] holy shit i'm on a RAMPAGE i invaded a gravelorded guy. instead of fighting him I'm just waiting for spirits of vengeance and people invading because of his sign. I've killed 15 people so far. This is great. [editline]26th December 2012[/editline] 18th one killed me. Oh well. THE TRIBAL WARRIOR HAS MADE PEACE WITH HIS GODS AND HAS EARNED THEIR FAVOR fuck i love this build

Pretty new to this game (only beat the first boss and got carried by the Raven lol) but I'm guessing dual-wielding swords isn't very viable? I used it to beat the first boss and the enemies fairly well, but now I'm just getting shit on and had to switch back to shield. Also I started as a warrior. Is this an okay class or should I start with something different before I get too far.

Yeah, there's no point in dual wielding, except MAYBE with Silver Tracer+Gold Tracer, but I doubt you have those yet. [editline]26th December 2012[/editline] There's a reason they give you a weapon and a shield so early in the game. :P

I enjoy dual-wielding the Abyss Greatsword with a Black Knight Sword just for the novelty of it.

[QUOTE=lockdown6;38977603]warrior is probably the best class to start with for a new player[/QUOTE] imo pyromancer

Thought everything was going to be easier after O&S, I guess I was wrong, getting wrecked by Nito's skeletons now. Also, when can a darkmoon blade player start invading? As in, when does it start to get easier to find someone to invade?

Is the Prepare to Die edition content on the disc? Or does it come with a code? I'm looking to buy the game but just wondering if I can get it pre-owned or not.

It's on the disc.

[QUOTE=black_tech;38977936]Thought everything was going to be easier after O&S, I guess I was wrong[/QUOTE] It was for me, atleast without counting the DLC areas.

oh boy I have no chance of getting through the Duke's with an Enchanted Side Sword and a ton of magic, so I guess I'll go farm a couple more side swords and make them fire, lightning, etc.

[QUOTE=yujin110;38975512]under the bridge where that dragon is back will lead to a ladder you have to kick down that will save you alot of time going back and forth and doubles as a extra bonfire to the area, plus there is a bonfire right under the dragon.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=amazer97;38975713]Yes, there is a bonfire- you can unlock a shortcut to a previous one. When you are on the bridge, and take the stairs down, instead of continuing along underneath the bridge, go to the door on the left- you should be able to kick down a ladder leading to the old bonfire. In fact, almost all of the bonfires in this game are shortcuts to previous ones.[/QUOTE] Thanks guys. One more thing, how do you manually aim ranged weapons? And how the fuck do you riposte ;_;? The game says Left Trigger which is either shield block, two handed block, or offhand slap, and even when I time these to just before the attack contacts I can't seem to do anything other than plain old blocking, however I noticed when I had a weapon equipped left handed that it did a special animation when using LT but never got a chance to try it.

Left trigger is the parry button, when timed properly it deflects an incoming strike. Then press RB to riposte. To manually aim bows, press LB. Crossbows can't be manually aimed, however.

If you manage to knock their swing away, a special sound will play and they will be knocked back, continue with a light right hand attack and it should do the riposte animation.

I'm looking for some advice for a DEX/INT build around the Estoc, Painted Guardian sword, and the ninja flip ring. Anyone got any ideas?

I think it's time I did a no shield BSS/rapier offhand run. Let's hope my anus doesn't get wrecked too hard.

[QUOTE=Mislum;38980787]*image* Let's try this again, for the nth time! .... *image* god fuckingb fhdsbgbfdhgbhfbdhg :([/QUOTE] What armor is that? It looks pretty cool.

Gargoyle helmet and the eastern set.

Just beat Gravelord Nito, was a ton of fun. Didn't expect the Tomb of the Giants to [sp]literally be a tomb full of undead giants. Also those dogs skeletons were fucking scary. Christ.[/sp]

Eastern set, the same Shiva uses.

Does anyone have a link to that Demon's Souls video where the guy is staring at the camera while people PvP behind him in the Shrine of Storms, and then when it's his turn to pvp he takes off his mask, revealing his messed up face?

Well, I tried to make my first build for PVP, here it is: [url]https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=152139848616864047[/url]
