Gyoru posted:Yeah, Demon's Souls only sold 23,000 units during its first week in Japan in comparison. Dark Souls blew past 250,000 units in only 2-3 days. Media Create puts Demons Souls first week sales at 40K, which of course does nothing to lessen the impressiveness of the first week Dark Souls sales. Supposedly the first week Dark Souls sales are very close to the lifetime sales of Demons Souls in Japan.

Lotish posted:While I suppose this is true, it does make getting to different parts of the world less easy. I'm not sure that's a bad thing, but unless someone knows if there's a teleporter or something it doesn't look like you can go rocking through the bog and step out to play in the lava caves, should that be your wont. Fast travel is available between certain bonfires from what I have seen. Some areas do still require a bit of a trek to get to though.

There is absolutely no need to do what they are doing. I'm fairly certain they are doing it so they can get a certain unique weapon to make their lives a bit easier. You are going to shoot yourself when they get to that part because it is more boring than this farming.

DeathSandwich posted:So in the tutorial area is there any reward for killing the tutorial boss the first time you meet him before you get your primary weapon/shield? Yes, you get a unique weapon that requires a ton of strength to use. Because it requires such high stats, it's advised to just get it at the beginning of your NG+ where you can just decimate him easily.

Roguelike posted:The whole thing just screams rumor. The original source, Esuteru, shows a screenshot of a character sheet with 99 for all stats and a level of 145. But you don't get to see the character sheet of players that invade you. So it's somebody claiming to be a developer and invading people? But they aren't player controlled they're npcs? And nobody streaming early ever saw hide nor hair of these guys? I think you can see character sheets of people who invaded you in the book of the guilty.

Samurai Sanders posted:Is there any clear way to check which covenant I am in? I mean, for one of the NPCs (the guy in the bell tower who handles the book of the guilty) it says "break covenant" instead of "join covenant", so I assume it is his, but he never said which one he was with, don't even remember ever signing on with him. Is there some default covenant you start in? Doesn't it say on your stats page? I seem to recall seeing it listed there.

Some new loot also appeared including an Orb whose description says I can invade the world of the person who killed the Firekeeper, and of course it doesn't let me use it. Any idea what the hell is going on? You can only do this in a certain area. Also, the rewards are worth it though so don't feel like you should have prevented this.

Failboattootoot posted:Now, a more important question for those who have the game is whether or not the controls can be remapped. Because by default your standard attack will be l1/r1 on the ps3 and lb/rb on the 360. Which I would find obnoxious and want to rebind to lt/rt on the 360 since the bumpers always felt a little weird to me. The controls are not remappable.

Sheep-Goats posted:I don't know if you can have more than one covenant active at once, but I'm sure that at least a few directly conflict with eachother in what is required of you, so I doubt it's possible to have all of them active even if they do allow you to have more than one active at once, which they may not. The stats page only has enough room to list one covenant, so I think it is a safe bet that you can only be in one at a time.

Talran posted:I forget what is the closest to a clean slate for stats, but it's nice being within arms reach of any build starting with all 11's. It depends entirely on what build you are going for, but Wanderer and Pyro will be the closest to a clean slate for most people since they have the most starting stats after adjusting for SL, and they start at a fairly low SL (3 for Wanderer, 1 for Pyro).

Samurai Sanders posted:Huh, I also experienced a glitch there of another kind. I got up in one of the towers behind the dragon and shot ONE ARROW at it, and it flew away. About 30 seconds later I heard its dying scream and got 10000 souls. This is bad because I know its tail had a secret weapon in it. This particular glitch seems to be somewhat common as I've already read of it happening to multiple people.

Nigulus Rex posted:is there any way to hold more estus flasks? I feel like my mage had 10 but my bandit can only hold 5. You have to use humanity to upgrade (kindle) a bonfire while you are human. That bonfire will then give you 10 flasks instead of 5 when you rest there. The bonfire in Firelink is already upgraded.

Darth Windu posted:Should I get Force or Heal for my first miracle? Force is tempting because of the hollow crowd before the Bell Gargoyles, but Heal seems super valuable with Estus flasks being so limited.. Heal fires off so slowly that it won't be of any use to you during most fights. It still might be worth it to help you conserve flasks for a boss though.

NESguerilla posted:Couple quick questions. 1. You need under 25% of your equip weight to get the fastest roll. Even so, it has less invincibility than in Demons Souls. If you want to roll faster, Endurance will raise your equip weight making it easier to gain a fast roll. Supposedly Dexterity grants you a very fast roll at a certain point. There is a ring that does the same thing too. 2. The first bonfire is pre-kindled. You need to do this yourself to other ones to make them give 10+ flasks. 3. It's showing the prices for items you can see. It isn't just for the one you have highlighted.

Eventually wandered my way into a lower section of Undead Burg where a Capra Demon is slaughtering me. Any tips to help me proceed? Should I not be at this boss yet? If you found the elevator back to Firelink Shrine, there are stairs right next to that elevator in the Undead Parish that lead to the Belfry Gargoyles fight.

One floor below the dragon is a doorway that takes you underneath the bridge. If you proceed along the left side you should see a doorway that you need to take. The path is pretty straightforward from there. UserMan posted:Do (undead parish spoiler) fire keeper souls upgrade your esk flasks forever or just temporarily? It's permanent.

But I just get cleaved to death in 2 seconds against it, I'm at a loss here. My soul level is 18, using Drake Sword as my main weapon, any suggestions? Did you find the Blacksmith in the Parish? Right after you get off of the shortcut elevator, you just go straight until you hear him below you. The entrance to the forest is right near him if you want to explore there. Other than that, your other real option is the Capra Demon. Reive posted:Speaking of which anyone know a quick way to get some humanity? I need that dude's help badly.

He is near the second butcher in the Depths area past the locked door that you need the key from the Capra Demon to open.

qbert posted:I've been flipping through the strategy guide, and certain items in the game are listed as only attainable via "Ascension". Can someone explain to me what that is? It's something you do with Blacksmiths. It's essentially just picking an upgrade path for your weapon. For example after you take a weapon to +5, you can keep it on the normal upgrade path or "ascend" it to the fire upgrade path.
