Shit I might need to start a new file just for copious amounts of insight

Hot damn, purchasable blood rocks and cheaper chunks, that's awesome.

So, I bought the Old Hunters, was really looking forward to playing it but have now realised I can't because my Bloodborne is digital and tied to another account, and the DLC is region locked :( Here's hoping Sony are nice enough to refund me! Might just lore binge now since I might not get to play it til the Complete edition of BB is down in price.

But I can play it on both US and Asia account, DLC and all. So digital copy cannot be played on different region account?

Any quick blood stone chunk farm places? I've mostly tried to farm in Upper Cathedral.

I just solo'd the defiled pthumeru chalice and I never plan to do it again. [QUOTE=Sweater;49364434]Any quick blood stone chunk farm places?

Otherwise you're stuck with the lecture hall giant or the upper cathedral wolf beasts

I hope going full heavy armor and just being unbreakable returns to DS3. Putting on full Havel's or full Old Knight's and still being staggered by practically everything in DS2 is not so much fun. I see how it might be annoying in PvP to face a unstunnable rock monster might be annoying, so maybe Stone Ring could return for it.

Just employ hit and run tactics Also how do I twink, I want to get some low SL PVP action but the default gear is not exactly the best stuff to use against invaders with Anor Londo gear I do not intend on wrecking newbies (who the fuck wants to fight against full havel's at SL5), just lure the other twinks invading these areas

I don't want to see stone ring rapiers that can easily r1 to the victory.

Unrelated, but now that the semester is over, part 2 of my Bloodborne college short story is complete. All ironed out of errors and ready for your reading pleasure. It ain't much, but from what I've been told it's an engaging read. You will need a bit of Part 1 for where it all began to get a better understanding. PM me if you're interested. If it's liked enough, I might make a part 3 in my off time.

So do gems and runes that boost rally potential mean I have a longer time to regain health or that I regain more health per hit?

Lovecraft is muh jam and BB looks like one of the very few games out there that actually does it well.

Equipment's something else, but I'd recommend getting RoFaP and Wolf Ring/Havel's Ring, those are fairly close by. [QUOTE=Sweater;49364950]Stone Ring would not be a great idea, of course it depends how the game will deliver. I don't want to see stone ring rapiers that can easily r1 to the victory.[/QUOTE] I saw a lot of complains about heavy armor PvP in DS1 though. Sure you were pretty much immobile compared to an opponent with light roll but deploying Stone Armor or EK's with Wolf Ring made you pretty damn tough, specially against dex weapons. Though I didn't PvP much, when a light build invaded me on my STR builds I equipped my hardest armor, a GS and a weapon with decently long range and just turtled the fuck out of them. It actually worked most of the time. I'd be okay with no Stone Ring since hell, more power to me, but I'd be okay with Stone Ring if it meant some PvP builds wouldn't be completely invalidated. Maybe make it so that it scales according to your weapon? The stronger the weapon, the more extra poise damage you do. That way you won't be able to just rapier stun people.

When DS3 came out, lets form gank squads: Anti-twink squad End and mid game gangbang squad 3 person geurilla ambush squad with summoner as bait (for souls farming) Battle royale

I just took a good look at Blood Dregs They are actually sperms made of blood! So Cairnhurst plan to impregnate the queen witth this thing?! I'm all for it

[QUOTE=hakimhakim;49368698]I just took a good look at Blood Dregs They are actually sperms made of blood! So Cairnhurst plan to impregnate the queen witth this thing?! I'm all for it[/QUOTE] I never noticed the little details in the image for it, damn. Learn new things everyday You're right on the money "The Vilebloods of Cainhurst, blood-lusting hunters, see these frightful things in coldblood. They often appear in the blood of echo fiends, that is to say, the blood of hunters. Queen Annalise partakes in these blood dreg offerings, so that she may one day bear the Child of Blood, the next Vileblood heir."

Would that be considered a defiled chalice? Does the DLC give her new dialogue with after killing [sp]Maria since it's revealed that she is related to the queen? Does the Ring even still work?[/sp] [QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;49368854][B][B]Madman's Knowledge is also a kos parasite in a skull.[/B][/B][/QUOTE] That makes a bit more sense now, since Kos is the one who "grants eyes" to worshipers. We associate "eyes on the inside" with "insight". Discovering places doesn't grant you eyes, but it opens you up to more arcane knowledge. That's why Willem couldn't do it, because he never tried to go outside his college or Yharnam and overloaded his brain with too many eyes than he can handle.

If Maria is a knockout, I bet the queen would be a total babe. So much that Logarius locks her and put that wretched mask on her. Looks like nobody told Annalise the correct way to have a child

Oh [i]HELL YES![/i] Scholar of the first sin is 2 bucks right now if you already own the base game. [editline]22nd December 2015[/editline] Oh [i]motherfuckers[/i] changed the price on me half way through my transaction. Get bent Steam. [editline]22nd December 2015[/editline] I'm [i]REALLY CONFUSED[/i] now, because apparently my transaction DID go through for only 2 bucks. Off to a rough start on the winter sale :v:v

This is legit a pretty good sale if you stack the loyalty discounts. I seriously hope my fucking buddies buy this.

Just finished pthumeru ihyll yesterday :joy: What's up with that stone though, is it supposed to be mergo?

[QUOTE=Stolons;49370501]Just finished pthumeru ihyll yesterday :joy: What's up with that stone though, is it supposed to be mergo?[/QUOTE] The stone is pretty much just a stone right now.

[QUOTE=Stolons;49370501]Just finished pthumeru ihyll yesterday :joy: What's up with that stone though, is it supposed to be mergo?[/QUOTE] Definitely felt the chalice to be easier than damn Defiled. And i guess so

Can someone enlighten me on the Dark Souls 2 deal? I bought DX11 SoTFS for 15€. Will my friend who owns the DX9 version and the Season Pass be able to upgrade to DX11 SoTFS at a discount, or does he have to buy the whole package again?
