  1. To give some perspective on how juicy a target I apparently am: I've got a dozen of the bloody things. You'd think I would start to remember to use them at some point, but I mostly get invaded in places where the npcs aren't all that scary.
  2. Wow, what the hell. Is your SM super low or something? I'm getting invaded the moment the timer is up every time. My SM is stupid high though, getting close to 10M.
  3. I usually stunlock her to death with a dagger. Bonus for using mytha's toxic blade to make it faster. e: the soul memory thing appears to me to be wildly blown out of proportion. I get invaded every 10 minutes on the clock on my SM 12M character. It's harder now to use an overpowered character to continually invade people who are just starting out but that's working as intended as far as I'm concerned. The invaders are all dark weaponed katana or santier's guys so I tend to just hop off the neares cliff or turn my back, not interested in trying to beat that on my pve guy.

    It's called Scale Warriors I believe. It's under games.
  5. Nice!

    e: oh new page. Re: fingering. It's sort of implicit in the scales exercise which is really hard if you don't do the one finger per fret thing. Besides that for the chords at least I believe there's numbers indicating which finger to use on which string.
  7. OK, I gave up on LGK and summoned a helper. That fight is not doable for me solo if there's a dude specced for PvP being summoned in at about 90% of the boss HP left. I did manage to poison and annoy a bunch of the spirits but the LFK would finish me off while I was distracted. Or vice versa. Ugh.
  8. Well go on then, out with it man! I've got the dragonslayer spear at +5, faith and dex at 50 each and it's hitting for a piddly 200 dmg, maybe 300 on counters. This is on the dogs next to McDuff. The strong attack does hit for a bunch more if you manage to shotgun someone in the face with it but overall it's a gigantic disappointment to me. So many dragonbones Also at SM 10M I'm getting a human phantom from the mirror knight every single time. It was annoying at first but now I'm just trolling them by switching to pyro with toxic mist and acid cloud. Let's see how long they find this fun.

    You can't say much about the Dutch kitchen that's nice but damn does this country make some nice cookies, cakes and pies.

  10. Dark Souls(Demon's Souls successor)

    osmosisch replied to Sully907's topic in Video Gaming

    I know for me at least the scarcity of upgrade materials made it so that I wasn't very interested in switching radically and have to upgrade yet another thing. Plus there's fun to be had in climbing the power curve rather than arriving at its top instantly.

    Haha, I was wondering when people would catch on again.
  12. Prowling Magus and Covetous Demon are both easier in my opinion.

    I just read this thread as complaining that "Nintendo is going to do something not targeted at meeeeeee"
  14. Thanks for the hint Bjorn, the blocking rather than trying to run strategy worked for me on that pain in the ass boss. I think that means I've done everything. On to NG+!

  15. Dark Souls(Demon's Souls successor)

    osmosisch replied to Sully907's topic in Video Gaming

    I think it's a vast improvement over the soul level system, but yeah that doesn't exactly make it great.
  16. I'd estimate a full 2M come from me beating my head against the particular optional boss I was complaining about earlier, and from gettnig summoned for the same boss to practise it.
  17. I'm at 4.7M for what it's worth, and still not done. I've been wearing all the soul/droprate boosting things I could find though, on general principle.
  18. That's a misrepresentation of the Souls games though. They're rewarding pretty much from the moment you realise how the combat system works, and earlier than that if you like the aesthetic design sensibilities. Further, especially on your first one they're likely to be much more fun/less frustrating if you play them in chunks (progress to the next shortcut or bonfire for example. The dying/respawning mechanic makes the game play in a sort of roguelike flow where you get to try until you die, and then your attempt mostly resets. That lends itself perfectly to pick up/put down play. I found Spelunky infinitely more frustrating/hard to get into, mainly because I strongly dislike platforming but also because I don't find the early levels or general aesthetics appealing. It's got almost everything I like in a game so this is still frustrating to me.
  19. God damn the is unbelievably unfun to fight. I think the only boss I've not enjoyed on some level so far.
  20. I oneshot that fight going in blind because I was lucky enough to The other fight in that category took me way more tries. Damn statues blocking my swings.

  21. Plug your shit

    osmosisch replied to gdf's topic in Idle Banter

    If you get in touch I can connect you to one of my friends who can probably give you some better directions than I ever could. e: oh duh I can just PM you. I'll ask him if he has time and then put you two in touch if he does.
  22. Yeah, screw that noise. Bah. It seems like a really weird move given the games' gigantic popularity on PC.
  23. Fuck, I just did the same thing. Oh well, next time round I guess.

    osmosisch replied to Problem Machine's topic in Video Gaming

    Huh. I don't even have that number anywhere I don't think. All my classes are over level 10 though. Can you post a screenshot?
  25. 156 I think? Unless this is a joke from the episode, haven't had a chance to listen yet.
