homeless snail posted:Must be something special about purple phantoms. My understanding is that they're spirits of vengeance tasked with hunting down oathbreakers who have left a covenant. Regular invaders are red-tinted rather'n purple, and helpers are glowy and white. And, apparently, your name stays on the list of oathbrakers - probably near the top - until you get killed for satisfaction. So it looks like you can get some kind of 'most wanted' reputation going by staying on that list for as long as you're able to cut down all comers.

Sheep-Goats posted:Best PvP video I've seen (maybe it's been posted already but I can't keep up with 20 pages of posts every 12 hours), only mild spoilers: Man gently caress that bowing at the end. If you're going to grief someone in Dark Souls you do it to be an rear end in a top hat. You're there to assassinate them. You know what- if someone bows to me and takes the time to "introduce" themselves I'm going to use that time to get the first shot in, so I hope it DOES take off.

Demon's Souls had casters that used mana, but in a nutshell, this contributed to making casters much too powerful compared to melee in both PvE and PvP. Now, casters get a set amount of times they can cast any given spell between bonfires, effectively meaning "run out and you're out" in PvP situations. Generally, the stronger the spell, the fewer the casts allotted. edit: this fukin thread.

What are the odds of IGN putting up the 24 hour cast as a vod? I'd love to rewatch the first few hours of it.

Gay Rumsfeld posted:What's the deal with magic in this game? I notice there is no mana. One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far is that spells in general seem to get more bang for the buck. There is longer cast times and limited uses but harder hitting spells. They want you to use a spell and have it be well placed it seems. Also some spells have a "resonance" feature to it. The more people that cast resonant spells in an area empower spells for everyone.

I watched a little bit of a couple streams playing casters and this didn't look to be the case. It seemed like as long as they weren't blowing fireballs on every random grunt that walked by the had enough charges to kill the scarier things. They didn't seem to be having much problem.

Not entirely so, since casters will be able to equip rudimentary weapons and/or shields. Odds just swing in favor of the opponent when the caster runs out of casts. Backstabs can still happen, resulting in a good deal of damage, even from a caster.

Caster-centric upgrades still exist, so you can't take it for granted that the weapon they're wielding doesn't have some kind of crazy modifier on it. Not to mention there are weapons that are enchanted with elemental damage and don't scale with stats at all, but just have baseline high attack power. Casters are juuuuust fine. Still somewhat boring, but fine.

quote:Resonance is only for miracles, I believe. Yes I should have mentioned that. Well in that case, I forgot to mention that generally there are spells, and then stronger versions of the spell. For instance there is a Flame Toss spell that has 8 uses, but then a Strong Flame Toss which has only 4, but is more damage. I think there is also supposed to be over 30 spells in the game if I recall correctly.

I hope there's more variety on miracles. The first new two we knew about, Lightning Bolt and Force, or whatever the AoE quake is called look like a good start.

So, after about eight hours, these are the ways I can go 1) Area with enemies that I can't hurt with my current equipment 2) Area with enemies that I can whittle down but revive immediately after death 3) Closed door 4) Closed door 5) Murderboss A 6) Murderboss B 7) Motherfucking dragons Murderboss B might be doable, but I have to fight him and his two loving dogs in a room as big as my bathroom

The.GreyWolf posted:This might be a silly question but do they count in miracles in the "over 30 spells"? I seem to remember (possibly misremember) the game's director saying Dark Souls had over twices as many spells as Demon's Souls so that would be well over 30. I think Demon's Souls had 22 spells and 12 miracles.

Samurai Sanders posted:Back in the old thread I mentioned that there is a gate that is locked from one side (like in Demon's, the ones that allow you to shortcut areas you have already been in) that even though I opened it, for some reason kept being closed when I came at it again after dying. I thought it was a bug, but just now I saw an enemy see I was coming, and run to the other side of the gate and close it to keep me from getting through. I know this is from a few pages ago but I'm still lmbo about that. Wanna give that little guy a medal. raton fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Oct 1, 2011 |

I never made it very far in Demon's Souls, but it's definitely the best challenge-to-fun ratio I've come across. So, with the hope that Dark Souls won't have a god-awful level like Valley of Defilement, I will gladly throw myself back in.

Alert, goons! I found a store in L.A. that broke the street date! I just picked up two copies for the PS3 and will be not sleeping at all this weekend. Why did I pick up two copies? Because I'm happy to help out my fellow goon. So if any of you are in the L.A. area and would like the game early, I will sell it to you at the same cost I paid for it, which is like, $60 plus tax. It is the standard version, but still, four days early!

Posting this in the hopes that it actually does something: http://goo.gl/MZQ2k I clicked through a couple of pages worth to help out. I preordered this tonight, i'm just going back and forth on if i'll actually open it. For some reason I'm worried this game is just going to frustrate me and i'll be out sixty bucks.

Samurai Sanders posted:Well, right now I am in an area that is like 5-1, but I haven't seen any place like 5-2 yet (with muck all over the floor), if that is what you are worried about. Ha, 5-1 was easily much, MUCH worse than 5-2. Don't get me wrong, I loved the concept of both levels, especially that they specifically put enemies that shove you in them, but I died way more often in 5-1. I was much more intimidated by 5-2, psychologically. But 5-1 is much more difficult.
