are you already at sen's fortress? o.o

ah okay >.>;

damn now im totally not going to that place, i hate alligators

damn :(





DDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAMN YOUUUU


CUUUUUUUURSE YOUUUUU

how did I make it sound? D:

Literally watched everything they made together in like a two day span like a month ago. <3 those guys, they are hilarious.

like a lizard with an alligator face :(

Definately going to have to pick the game back up again. Optimized a few bits that I didn't before. And would be fun to duel/invade a few of the people around here =)

I just learned a VERY valuable lesson. No matter how many times you have been to an area, always have your guard up. Dropping down a sewer hole and getting surrounded by a ton of frogs, rats and Kirk is not a good idea o.o

You're not gonna like Gaping Dragon at all, he's a *** giant lizard with an alligator for a nose!

So how wide spread are the "Honorable PvP" rules, I stumbled on them the other day and having rules set up like that for invasions seems kinda lame to me personally. I'm still not too far into Dark Souls but one of my favourite parts about Demon Souls was getting invaded and knowing they would do whatever it took to take me down. Some of my favourite matches if you can call them that involved me getting backstabbed as the start or knocked off a ledge. I just kinda looked at the death message and thought "Damn, well played"

Sure it can get annoying sometimes it's just a part of the game to me and setting things up that limit certin play styles (such as stealth based) just seems silly to me.

Mainly what I'm wondering is am I going to get onto some community wide hated list if I attack invaders on sight >.>

I'd say you really don't HAVE to follow them, like Josiahkf said.

TBH it seems these "honorable duel" rules only really seem to apply when you're in a pvp hotspot. But if it's a random invasion when you're just trying to make progress, I don't expect them to play fair. I've seen way too many people who will wait for you to bow specifically so they can backstab you, or invaded way too many people with 2 phantoms just looking to gank kill for souls.

I'd say anything goes personally. I don't mind myself a fair duel but I've learned not to expect it all the time either.

I never bow anymore. If the person I fight uses "honorable" tactics, then that is fine, but I just don't expect it. Especially in Darkroot Forest. I approach hunting gankers in that place with ZERO honor, and will do what it takes to waste a host and his phantom(s). The honor dueling only REALLY matters in Fight Clubs.. that's really about it.

just be careful around the forest. us forest bros give no mercy. we go in expecting to be ganked.

So much truth here.

yea, the forest is one of the exceptions to bowing or any emote

though I still do it .-. I don't like being mean I guess

The Forest is the No Mercy area in the game.

People sitting in PvP hotspots generally expect duels as opposed to invasions. Occasionally you'll get some asshats or failures with phantoms waiting to gank you in the 'honorable' areas.

EDIT: Uploading my fight with Super Smough from today. Should've done Super Ornstein since I'm using the Silver Knight Spear too, but I got annihilated in my first fight. Smoughs charge attack is a pain in my ***.

Well, I will once I figure out how to compress the video down from 3GB <_<

Or whatever the hell I have to do to drop the upload time away from 600+ minutes. ._.

Just discovered DSFix, how did I play without this...

Thought the blurriness was just my eyes because I need new glasses... didn't realize they didn't bother to put in scaling background resolution when you change screen size. Borderless fullscreen is nice too

That patch came out the day of the release, really made From Soft look bad because they said they couldn't find a way to make it work or something like that.

Yeah I just went through the ini and holy balls. I can't believe most of this isn't part of the game already... it's a pretty poor port

Yea, they don't make PC games. They hired a team to make a real PC version for Dark Souls II, so when that comes out expect to have power over a lot.

When the Edge team went over to view 10 minutes of gameplay for Dark Souls II, they said the graphics look like the cutscenes do during gameplay.

That kinda makes it sound bad though, feels like they are putting too much into making it look good. So much criticism over the game atm, it's scary.
