What a simple yet amazing name for a weapon.

Did the patch hit NA yet? I haven't played in a couple days.

Last time I played my rage quit was a loss of ~30,000 souls and ~4 humanity. I died to a silver night lancer because I only had ~70% hp and got delay glitched. Me not attacking and then attacking a full second later resulting in him hitting me once, which means he does his two hit combo to hit me again and kill me.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean in that area there's no level limit to invading?

So I finished the Depths last night, and now going to do the Undead Asylum and farm a little to upgrade my pyromancy before I tackle Blighttown.

Good to know. My farming spot is the Artorias Gate, so I'll just occasionally run out and farm some tree dudes while I'm at it.

Yeah, something like that.

If you're part of the Forest Hunter covenant, you get summoned to defend the area if anyone Human walks in.
The Human dude could be Level 17, or 170, it doesn't matter. Anyone wearing the covenant ring gets summoned to defend.

The second time I meet the Asylum demon thingie in the entry level, am I supposed to defeat him?

I'll admit that he killed me twice, I got bored and played something else. I intend to come back to it but that'll be after I get finished/done with Hitman: Absolution starting tonight.

If you're struggling with Quelaag, summon Maneater Mildred. All you have to do is be in the Blighttown swamp while you're human, and then she attacks you. Once you defeat her, her summon sign is right in front of Quelaags fog gate. She can tank a lot of the damage Quelaag throws out, leaving you to 2-hand Quelaag from relative safety.

So I decided to try out Pyromancer and see how magic worked. Seemed ok but while I was creating the Pyro what I really wanted to make was a thief. That ninjer mask and leather armor were calling me.

But, i thought, surely using a single slashy knife and a bucker would be a fast invite back to the campfire sword in a game like this...

Boy was I wrong about that. I friggen love the thief and his slashy bandit knife is amazing. Even without back stabs the attacks are so fast that you can just pre-empt most mobs first attack without a parry and slash them down. But I'm also loving back stabs. Circle around, hit strong, stab and kick off the bloody wrecked corpse.

Also that attack speed seems crazy with some lightning. I had some pine resin in my bag so before I fought taurus demon I put some on. Jumped up the ladder to DFA him, then got behind him and dropped him in seconds just spamming slash.

Fun game so far.

*Edit to say my GFWL account does not seem to work when I log in so my game is playing in Offline mode. I might try and fix it, but probally not since I am not really interested in being invaded or co-oping bosses.

Did you use an Xbox Live account when you first set up GFWL? That's what I did, and once your Xbox Live gold Subscription runs out, the account is locked in GFWL, until you resub. GFWL is the worst thing ever, I wish they could have just left it as a Steam game. I was about 70-80% through the game, then I had to restart, because your save games are tied to your GFWL account.

Ok so I got to gargoyle's and realized that being a fast stabbing squishy thief was kinda hard. So I rerolled as a knight and was back to the same spot asap. Now I've dropped the drakesword for a Longsword +5 and my elite knights armor is +3.

Working my way through the depths atm. This game is brilliant, even with the ability to let me farm obsessively whenever I am stuck and the compete lack of wtf to do nextness. It's a love letter to nutters. Yup I alternate between fuggin hating it and thinking I have not had this much fun in ages.
