Guest chaoticeyes Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Is there anywhere to see the most recent update? Or should I just scroll back pages and find out? I lurk through here a lo bit haven't seen any actual update in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuronX Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Is there anywhere to see the most recent update? Or should I just scroll back pages and find out? I lurk through here a lo bit haven't seen any actual update in a while. Miyako is around 60% or so, and Agave is around 50%, IIRC. Been a while since the numbers changed.

Seath Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I have low tolerance for grinding or starting over. It's actually a bit better in dark souls 2, or should I say they made it more casual friendly? You can get several rings that you can repair infinitely that will allow you to stay human and keep your souls when you die. There also isn't a boss waiting for you as soon as you start the game. People usually make dark souls out to be harder than it really is. The key to Dark Souls is in the timing. You actually have some invincibility frames when you roll so rolling at the last second before an attacks hits you will allow you to avoid attacks that should hit you regardless. It helps to get parrying down but is not necessary as you can actually beat the game without ever using the parry mechanic. Always remember to keep some form of ranged combat on you so that you can lure enemies from their groups to fight them one on one. (Needlessly fighting enemies in a group is a bad idea) Really just learning to dodge correctly, learning enemies attack patterns, and being patient by not wasting your stamina and getting greedy with your hits is all you need to do to survive in dark souls.

Isn't it most often than not: Wait -> dodge -> attack at an opening? I occasionally block weak opponents but rarely do I parry/riposte. Regarding "learning enemies' attack patterns", I usually die several times before understanding a boss, and I'm fairly easy to frustrate. I got killed about 5 times in the first boss because I didn't notice the door and that I actually had to run away. I haven't played Dark Souls II, nor do I plan to, and most of anything about Dark Souls have gone away from my mind as of this point in time. -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got killed about 5 times in the first boss because I didn't notice the door and that I actually had to run away. For the most part that's how you'll want to fight, but the reason most people die to bosses is due to the fact that they panicked and evaded too early. Thanks to i-frames you can actually dodge into an enemy's attack and take no damage at all if you did it at exactly the right time, so the combat in dark souls is actually a lot more forgiving than people give it credit for. It's just a matter of playing with the games mechanics in mind. Do it right and you will come out on top, but do it wrong and well.... I haven't played Dark Souls II, nor do I plan to, and most of anything about Dark Souls have gone away from my mind as of this point in time. -_- Doesn't matter much if you even played the first game at all seeing as how the lore in dark souls both 1 & 2 is only vaguely explained through item descriptions anyways. Both games happen in the same universe, but it's not really a direct continuation, and it won't matter if you haven't beaten the first game at all.

Well, not to be rude cuz it's true that we are all waiting forever, but like we told another guy some days ago: at least we could be grateful that some random people have taken the job to finish it.

Ouraibaa Hjyuraa Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Thanks to i-frames you can actually dodge into an enemy's attack and take no damage at all if you did it at exactly the right time Didn't they change that? Didn't they do it so that now you have to dodge horizontally if they do a vertical attack, or backwards if they horizontal attack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seath Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Didn't they change that? Didn't they do it so that now you have to dodge horizontally if they do a vertical attack, or backwards if they horizontal attack? Nope you can still roll headfirst into attacks if timed right. Only thing that they did for dark souls 2 is base the maximum I-frames that you get from rolling loosely on your agility. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrrymfvwDv0&feature=player_detailpage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was also a problem in Dark Souls 1. Dsm Fix is incompatible as well and can cause issues so if you have that installed it needs to be deleted.

Seath Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I could get it to work with Dark Souls 1 back in the day, but I never did anything with Device Manager As for Dsm Fix, no idea what that is. The DSM Fix was a mod that allowed people to bind extra mouse keys in DS1. I have heard that somehow it can mess with controller input. I don't yet have the computer version of DS2 myself, but I have heard that disabling the HID controllers is the only known workaround until a patch comes out. Post From Official Bandai Namco Support Thread Dark Souls II does not recognize or take input from my controller If you are experiencing this problem, try the following: "Open up Device Manager and under Human Interface Devices, right click and disable all HID-compliant game controllers, and if you have a G13 disable the Logitch G13 Joystick. Restart the game and it should work. You may also need to disable any virtual HID-compliant game controllers as well." Thank you Megabound for the post. If you continue to experience this issue, please get in touch with our support team and let them know what controller you are trying to use. We'll do our best to assist you from there. We will continue to update this space with more information on this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It blinks for a couple of seconds, but my PC gives no signs of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
