There's probably literally a 100:1 ratio of dead:alive players, so if you drop a sign, I guess it really isn't very likely you'd be summoned.

Does anyone know why I can't apply gold pine resin to my drake sword? Every time I go to use it, it won't let me.

I see signs very often near bosses and usually my sign gets summoned very quickly. I am still in the 20'ish soul level range, so I'd guess some people are just way ahead of the curve at this point.Nelson Mandingo posted:Invite me if you're near level 60 Rascyc I'm incredible.

Co-oping is easy if you're willing to be the human. I know that's not what people are complaining about but I'm stating it more as a fact that there's a lot of people taking advantage of the online component... just not ones willing to use their humanity. I have a feeling once someone figures out the end-all trick to farming humanity and it gets popular, people will be more willing to unhollow and man poo poo up. I didn't even have a PS3 when Demon's Souls was released so I don't know if it's similar, but I would assume that it's like people are saying, that most players want to stay hollow for most the part early on. Not to mention with the game being a little less straightforward for zones, people who are outside your level range might be the higher population of people in the zones you're trying to help people in. quote:Does anyone know why I can't apply gold pine resin to my drake sword? Every time I go to use it, it won't let me. I don't have that sword, does it have a magic/fire/lightning/divine damage on it by default? Looks like you still can't temporarily enchant weapons that are already buffed with elemental damage.

Guliani is HOT posted:Also, is the Drake Sword worth upgrading? Has anyone found a better weapon so far? I went ahead and upgraded it and I am wrecking most enemies very deep into the game. It's at +2 at the moment and is my hardest hitting weapon. I haven't even really touched strength and dexterity much either, I'm just pumping vitality and stamina and beating the hell out of everything.

I definitely agree with getting that hollow soldier shield to +5. The decreased stamina hit from blocking helps considerably. I am sure there are better shields, but the hollow soldier shield seemed to be a pretty good all rounder compared to a lot of the other shields I've found up to this point.

Yeah, it's a surprisingly good shield considering it's a relatively common drop. I've just been using it for 90 percent of the game. My stamina's already pretty high, so putting the hollow shield to +5 will make you pretty much unstoppable.

Well good, because it doesn't scale with strength/dexterity. Though, this will bite you later when you DO want a good end-game sword.

Does dropping your white symbol as a zombie actually do anything? My understanding is multiplayer is pretty much barred from zombies.

Whoa has this been posted yet?Namco Bandi posted:Due to several contacts we've received from users confused as to how the summoning feature works in game, we have provided this list to help. Emphasis mine. Even the guide says its 10+/- levels, this is the first I've heard of 10%. That makes the window of opportunity a hell of a lot smaller, especially in the early game. Seems like if you're having trouble finding someone to summon/be summoned you're probably in an underpopulated lobby. Sorry if this is a re-post, I haven't read the whole thread.

Captain Beans posted:I think that is how it worked for demon souls too. It definitely is not. The level range requirements relaxed the higher your level, but the minimum was always 10. No there doesn't seem to be a rating system anymore. Best you can do is report invaders with indictments.

It made me quite happy to help and I'll likely throw my stone down there some more tomorrow. The fact that people are appreciative makes things even better because I know just how frustrating that particular guy can be. One of the guys I helped had like 7K souls and 7 humanity saved up.

Man, I got summoned to fight Quelaag. Some NPC phantom was also there, and we got it down to a sliver of health. Then my summoner runs out of soul arrows, runs up next to her, eats its AoE and dies in 1 hit I just want some humanity so I can kindle my fire! Also, there seriously needs to be a sound effect when you get summoned. e: I keep seeing ghosts run through the white light. Summon me dammit!

When you're looking at weapons, hit Square(PS3) to get the additional information, to the right of the damage it does, you'll see a "+#", which tells you how much damage is currently being added from your stats. Below that, under ParamBonus, it tells you how well the item scales with your attributes, using Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Faith respectively.

That one-legged, vagina-mouthed demon that's right out the doorway in the area of the blacksmith in Undead Parish. Anything special about him? I know other things have deals where you can get an item if you attack the tail. He's just so easy to plink away at with arrows, but only the front, so I'm wondering if I try to get in close where he's actually hard to fight will I get a special item from cutting off his tail.

So just read about the whole pyromancy not being affected by INT thing... And well... luckly for me I had not started building up my int yet. Do you guys have any suggestions about what might be good to build up to go along with a pryo build? I am planning on throwing a lot of fire, and up until not have just been buffing up endurance and vitality. Should I just make my character main some other stat like strength or dex?

So, if anyone's looking to spoil the bosses for themselves: http://www.gamesradar.com/dark-souls-boss-guide/?page=1 Page 2 and on are videos of every (major) boss in the game in alphabetical order. They also help a lot in terms of general strategy for bosses. Also guys, I'm stuck in the Darkroot forest. I beat the giant hydra and the area past it is impossible, the tree people are annoying but the "bandits" and ghosts are loving tough and attack you in packs. My friends tell me the area is later-game but it's either this or Blighttown. Should I backtrack?

The safest place to try to hit him with a sword was back there anyway, so I figure if you could chop it off I would have. I could be wrong though.

If you beat her dark phantom form, when you end get to the fog gate for Quelaag, there will be a white summon marker like a regular player's but it will be hers, and you can summon her just like another player. I recommend doing this for anyone having trouble with the fight. She has retarded vitality and will be like a tank for the fight while you whack some witchbutt. Literally.

Either try and pull some out or just dash in and kill them all. Don't stay out on that walkway and get pelted. If you move around enough the fire chuckers will miss you though, just any constant direction will do.
