[QUOTE=CommanderPT;27688368]The game is rather cheap now. Would've bought it if it wasn't for ATLUS shutting down the MP in March.[/QUOTE] They didn't shut them down in Europe though, did they? I think the servers in Europe are managed by Namco-Bandai.

I have to get this now.

man what's up with the bosses. i just use warden or whatever that spell is called and hack them to death like nobodys business. those big dudes in 5-1 were a larger threat to me than the actual boss.

whooaaaa i cleared 5-1 right after phalanx with a new character and only a dagger and i didn't die and i feel awesome now [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=backfoggen;27696592]man what's up with the bosses. i just use warden or whatever that spell is called and hack them to death like nobodys business. those big dudes in 5-1 were a larger threat to me than the actual boss.[/QUOTE] yea most bosses aren't as hard as the level itself except for maneater because there's two and they can knock you off the roof

The only REAL boss(IMO) is uh, False King Allant(I think that was him) The one at the end of 1-4.

haha started a new game and then used the blue blood sword guide and got the blue blood sword in the game as early as possible black phantoms die in 3 hits because i'm doing over 300 damage some mage tried to invade me while i was doing 4-3 and then he hid behind the wall but i already had silver shield and i blocked his soul ray and killed him with 3 hits with the bbs

On my N+ playthrough! Also fuck that swamp set of levels, worst levels in any game ever.

[QUOTE=backfoggen;27668088]anyone here playing the european version? i did 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, 3-1 and 4-1 and only got invaded once and the dude was wuss while i was running towards him he used his gay ass stone and disappeared. what do you lose when a black phantom invades your game and kills you? all of your souls? heard something of losing a soul level[/QUOTE] You just die and go into Soul Form. You don't lose any levels. The invading BP will lose a Soul Level if he dies from environmental effects (falling, etc.) [editline]28th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=CommanderPT;27693438]I meant, March 2011 not 2010.

Altus stated they are going to keep them open as long as possible, at minimum until the games two year anniversary.

[QUOTE=cortzxxx;27712477]On my N+ playthrough! Also fuck that swamp set of levels, worst levels in any game ever.[/QUOTE] i hated that level so i decided than i was going to run all the way to the village entrance of the swamp and avoid all of the giant goblins

[QUOTE=CommanderPT;27688368]The game is rather cheap now. Would've bought it if it wasn't for ATLUS shutting down the MP in March.[/QUOTE] oh what the fuck... I just got it a month ago.

If there's any game that's going to make me buy a PS3, it's this one. I really want to play it. :frown:

The only plus side about those shitty swamp levels, was this one time I had about 80,000 souls on me. I was in soul form already plus no healing grass, or anything to get me out of the level. It was the most tense I have ever felt in a video game.

The fact that they will eventually remove the multiplayer aspect of the game makes it even more challenging and sadistic. :aaaaa:

I don't mind the swamp levels. probably because i never get poisoned because my poison resistance is like 300 just because of high endurance.

What happens if you unplug internet while someone is invading you?

[QUOTE=johan_sm;27746904]What happens if you unplug internet while someone is invading you?[/QUOTE] nothing, you just disconnect and lose all progress you made since the last save. only happened to me once.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;27746924]nothing, you just disconnect and lose all progress you made since the last save. only happened to me once.[/QUOTE] That sucks. So if my net goes down while someone is invading me I will lose automatically?

[QUOTE=johan_sm;27747144]That sucks. So if my net goes down while someone is invading me I will lose automatically?[/QUOTE] no, you just lose progress period. even if you are by yourself.

when it goes down you quit to the menu and it will autosave i disconnect from the server a lot for some reason and it helps

[QUOTE=codemaster85;27747206]no, you just lose progress period. even if you are by yourself.[/QUOTE] You lose nothing actually. There's no punishment to disconnecting while being invaded. The worse case scenario is that you end up at the last save point : AKA You could restart back at the beginning of the level. But aside from that whatever souls you have and equipment stays with you.

Even though I've played a bit of Demon's Souls, I'm still a newbie. I have a Tower Knight who is wearing brushwood set (except for the chest, I died and didn't pick it up) and is using the starting polearm. I need a replacement for the weapon right? What should I get?

What should I get?[/QUOTE] If you can get it, and if you have a lot of faith. The longsword of moonlight was pretty good before I got the northern rag. it is very light, does moderate magic damage, increases your faith, and best of all, it bypasses all shields. perfect for blue eyed knights and red eyed ones.

Or just get scrap spear and fuck invaders up <3

[QUOTE=iRager;27869768]Or just get scrap spear and fuck invaders up <3[/QUOTE] You could also find your balls and kill them properly.

I love it when I just enter a world and forget something in the nexus. I turn back around and there is fog in the way. I wait and then the phantom joins and I do a instant critical hit KO.

Hmm. I've pretty much beat the game, however I'm stuck on Old Kind Allant (4-1). Does anyone have any tips for someone fighting as melee? I'm using blueblood sword and dark silver shield, wanderer starting armour.

one time someone invaded my game with a scraping spear and broke my weapon but i managed to kill them with my fist backstabs with your fists are pretty hilarious
