@RatHat from the last thread, Brad from Giant Bomb getting parried by Garl Vinland is at 1:36 in this. You have to be a subscriber to watch it. Here's a gif if minus is working for you

enojy posted:Did the actual parry get clipped out of the gif or something? I'm not seeing it... just him staggering and getting hit. Nope, that's exactly how it went. You don't see Garl do anything but Brad's guy definitely reacts like he was parried and then Garl does a riposte animation. It's weird.

BJPaskoff posted:From someone who died a lot in Dark Souls, this is the only part that concerns me. After dying a few times to a boss, am I just going to want to give up for good because my character is half as strong as he used to be, and the boss is still kicking my rear end? Just like Demon's Souls its safe to assume that the game is balanced such that you can beat it at 50% health. e: or they just make it super easy to regain your max health. see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Mar 11, 2014 |

SL1 runs aren't really a good example against grinding because they typically do, you know, involve some grinding.

I like the whole grid inventory thing but the big wall of tiny unlabeled icons for stats is a real bummer step backwards from Dark Souls.

So how does equip load work now? I just finished character creation and I'm messing around taking my armor on and off and my roll feels the same at 40% as it does at 6%.

I was trying to parry the guys in the tutorial and just failing miserably but I guess you can't parry barehanded anymore because the tutorial stone for parrying says you need a shield equipped.

Alan Smithee posted:Godfucking damnit it's Dark Souls 1 all over again. Except I know what reverse hollowing means but I don't know how to do it... Use the effigy like any other item, don't burn it. They're like the humanity restoring items in Demon's Souls, you can use them anywhere.

Kawalimus posted:Is there riposte in this game? I seem to recall reading they did away with it but I may have imagined it. Yes. It works a little differently. I saw a video of someone getting a riposte immediately after a parry but I haven't had any luck with that, I always have to wait until they fall down.

It's true that you can't interact with ragdoll corpses anymore, but that doesn't stop them from inexplicably moving around on their own in a really creepy way. Just walked around a corner back toward where I had killed some guys before and saw their bodies belly sliding down the stairs toward me

I'm seriously so confused. You have to toggle at a bonfire. Walk up to a bonfire, hit triangle or Y until it says Light the torch instead of Rest at bonfire.

Space Hamlet posted:Every time I attempt to summon I get the message "Summoning failed. The summon sign has disappeared." Could this indicate some kind of connection problem? I seem to be perfectly capable of getting summoned, just not summoning. Seems like it might mean that they've already been summoned. Every time I put a sign down I get called up within a minute. They're going really fast.

Space Hamlet posted:Yeah, but there seems to be a separate message for that, which explicitly states that they've been summoned already. What's more, every time I get summoned there's another phantom already there, which makes me suspect that that host is having an easier time of it than me? Yeah I've gotten plenty of summon sign disappeareds and also managed to summon. Uh where's the timer for how long summons can stay in? I've helped people beat bosses like 5 times now and never seen anything ticking down, but the one time I summoned someone they ran out of time in my game.

Sometimes as a summon I get drops from enemies. They've all been healing items, but are they visible to everyone or just me?

TheLeenMachine posted:I've killed at least a dozen bosses and I have yet to see this Pursuer everyone is talking about. Is that the big knight guy? I was summoned into a game and fought him with the host on some rooftop like any other enemy, then I've been summoned into a couple more and he's behind a fog gate like a real boss? I dunno what's going on.

Speedball posted:Nope, the description is slightly misleading. Burning it in a fire makes you less connected to others, less likely to be invaded but also harder to get support. You just use it straight from your inventory to make yourself human again. Makes you fully human again so you have max possible HP, repairs all your equipment (unless they're broken maybe?), refills your flasks, gives you an item that heals the guy who summoned you and probably does something else somewhere.

Overbite posted:This game is way harder than Dark Souls or even Demon's Souls. I cannot beat the pursuer at all, even after wasting 2 effigys summoning people who were completely useless in the fight. The Heidie place is also too hard. With three people Pursuer shouldn't be any trouble at all. If he's chasing someone else, get behind him and attack. If he's chasing you, hold a shield in front of you and back the hell up, roll whenever he winds up to swing at you up close. If he's chasing you around don't even bother trying to hit him, let your summons do it.

Sure enough I did get a different reward for using the small white soapstone. Got a smooth & silky stone instead of a token of fidelity.
