nah, you did good enough! i don't think most of the enemies in that area are particularly strong against fire anyway.

anyway: for everyone's enjoyment.

man, i was just coming here to post that. we need more comedy pvp builds.

i had a good time slaughtering stuff in the sewers with remote the other day. summoning friends in this game isn't quite as hard as i was expecting, these days!

i wouldn't say that! i've been curious about that sword for a while myself, after seeing some sansvie videos of someone ruling with it. but yeah, i'm all for doing the co-op thing again! i'll see what i can do later this afternoon.

some tips for the Bed of Chaos:

- the roots can be hit with arrows!
- if you have a shield with enough stability, you can just block one arm sweep, turn around to block the other, and then just jump onto the branch.
- the main "ring" on the floor where it does said arm sweeps also happens to be the only non-crumbling spot in the arena.

1) Sort of. It's largely dependent on the actions you take, though. Specifically: pyro guy leaves after you join the spider lady, magic guy leaves when you buy all his spells, and faith guy leaves for a bit and then comes back, but, um, you won't want him to stay too long, if you know what I mean.
2) Feeding titanite just splits it into smaller shards. I don't think it's really worth it, you should get enough just going around normally, I think.
3) Trash away! Unless you feel like getting everything to +10 and showing off. #notthatideverdothat

i think it's both, yeah. i was kind of being vague since i wasn't sure how much he wanted to know about it. as long as you keep answering "no" to his question, he'll stay at Firelink.

and yeah: King's Field IV is pretty amazing. shame about the movement speed though (who the hell takes ten whole seconds to do a 180-degree turn)

took my ~350,000 souls gained from being a forest jerk and went on a shopping spree: two Uchigatanas, two Washing Poles, one Demon Spear, one Demon's Greataxe, one East Wood Grain Ring, all of Griggs' spells (and his rings), every armor set Domhnall had for sale and a whole pile of poison knives. then i joined the forest clan and proceeded to get my face wrecked. penance, i guess?

so, um, yeah, Short Version: remote, next time we meet, i have an extra Washing Pole if you still want one.

i'm guessing the host took Artorias' ring off. you can't walk down there without it until you kill the Four Kings.

eh, i guess i don't really have a problem with the concept of a dedicated pvp area. people have been wanting one and trying to find makeshift ones since the game's release. my one complaint would be that it seems a bit spartan and bare-bones, and the article linked in that video raises an interesting point re: all of the communally-accepted pvp arenas (the forest, the painted world, the Undead Burg) having escape routes and variable surroundings, which could mean life or death for a statistically-disadvantaged player. still, i guess it's only pointless at worst, and it seems easy enough to ignore.

there's some video out of the early dlc areas, and man oh man this looks exciting. the new boss they had on display (Knight Artorias) looks brutal as hell.

question for Pro Players (Apol, etc.): is Karmic Justice all that useful for killing early-area troll invaders? are there any other methods open to a beginning player? i was watching some sansvie video of someone putting Karmic Justice to good use in going kamikaze on the people they were invading, which gave me the idea.

well i guess i finally went and made my Belmont build

modeled after the super-cool Sonia Belmont

taking on the bell gargoyles solo without a shield is some tricky business, let me tell you

(will include pics from after that later on when i feel like going through the effort to make them look not-awful)

holeeeee shit just had my first gravelord experience in the tomb of the giants

i was sitting at the first bonfire waiting to get summoned on my strength/intelligence character, so i went up the ladder from it to see if there were any messages or signs (i wasn't sure about the quality of my connection), when i see the gravelord sign just sitting there

i decide to go ahead and invade him, and found him about where the sign was, wearing a family mask and wielding a black knight greataxe. we trade blows and he almost kills me, then he falls into Patches' pit trying to dodge my fireball

i run around to the other end's ladder to catch him, and try to chuck more fireballs at him from above. none of them hit and he just stands there, so i put some fire resin on my big huge stick (perfect for beating up skeletons), take a running jump off the ladder, and NAIL him with a plunging attack

he gets back up and tries to flee, but i catch up and do a backstab while he heals followed by a quick blow to finish him off

that was probably the most fun i've had in this game in a long time
