you know i'm gonna call bullshit on this. i have hundreds of hours in dark souls 2, the vast majority of which were pvp, and i could count the number of hackers on both hands. ten instances, in like, three hundred hours. truly a vile cesspit of cheaters.

either i'm incredibly lucky (and was in dark souls 1 as well) or this line of thinking doesn't bear out at all

I don't think i've encountered a hacker playing DS 1/2/SotFS on PC. Not a huge amount of pvp outside of bell bro stuff but I've been invaded a fair amount and never knowingly encountered a hacker

Am I right in thinking using the starting fire stone to infuse a weapon early on will be give more damage until I've levelled my stats up? Can i uninfuse a weapon?

Is it possible for me to force the game to stay at 30fps? I've only got a geforce 760

How do you get into the gorge near the dilapidated bridge bonfire? I've looked around and can't find a way down and it looks too far to fall

I've also ended up upgrading the starting longsword before i found the large club and titanite has been really rare. I'm still at +1 longsword/+2 club after the third boss

In the past what were the more popular platforms for Dark Souls? I'm looking to pick the game up for either PC or PS4, but I want the platform that would most likely have more players to choose from when doing invasions/coop and stuff. I don't even know if it's possible to get concurrent player numbers for PS4 like you can with steam.

i've never really had a problem doing multiplayer on the PC and it has the advantage of being able to cheat engine things like upgrade materials into the game

I take it it only becomes available once I'm further in the game? Nobody at firelink has aonther key to sell

Zaphod42 posted:

The only healing I've encountered other than estus so far is healing magic, and I think divine blessings. That's it, which is cool. Lifegems made things way too easy.

I'm just surprised at the sheer number of enemies that have stunlock attacks that can easily do 1/3 or more of my health bar if I get caught which is making going shieldless a lot harder

Anyone able to sound off on the Large/Giant clubs? Are they still the legit str monster scaler in this game? Just looking at the numbers they seem to be not great compared to some of the other str scaling greatweapons (greataxe, greatsword/Zwei)

My guy started as a warrior and just got to the firelink shrine so I've got time to build my stats around whatever I decide on rolling with. I was considering trying to get the spiked mace from the Undead Settlement and rolling with a str/luck bleed build.

I'm currently using the large club and its going to need the infusion to boost scaling to get it up to A if I go that way. Its available pretty early on though and was the first I found ultra greatsword/hammer that i found and could use

Managed to grab a greataxe off one of those tall undead, it is preceding to own face against everything I throw it against

how good is it at knocking things over? i got a lucky drop right at the start of the game but i'm using the large club since i have the stats for it. hitting the dogs and watching them go flying is really satisfying

So is anyone else not real super impressed with this game's iteration of the Large/Huge club? I'm not pancaking regular enemies and startup animation for some of the attacks may as well come with a written invitation to hit you first. It's hard to make it work when the enemies are much quicker and more aggressive than the previous games.

I should get the butcher's knife this evening, I'll try that out and see if I have any better luck with a faster heavy +str weapon.

I'm not a big fan but its the biggest weapon I've got that I can use

if you're using a controller press the left stick. is titanite common further into the game? I've not found much so far and want to start using the zweihander instead of the large club but don't have much titanite. I liked that DS2 just gave you tons of it
