    ENB says his trailer speculation video should be up within 10 hours or so.

    No shit. So what?

    ............an SL 7 character can wield a 514 damage weapon and it takes a shitload of leveling and peripherals to match that with anything that scales normally.

    The point is it's broken, that's what.

    Lmao. Yeah, no. As much as I love DS (better PvP), it will never come close to a legit fg, ever. Let's be real here. Just no.

    I'm honestly not sure why you think that matters, if you're SL7 by the time you were able to make one you're clearly not worried about anything other than ganking lowbies or doing a personal low level run.
    Who cares?

    There are seriously large communities dedicated to exactly that. It's not just in DS, either. Almost every major rpg, mmo or not, that has pvp, has a big twink community.


    In DS there's simply no getting around the fact that they're doing it just to be bitches... but... that's what like 90% of mobs in dark souls are doing anyway.

    He makes a good point, bottomless box glitch aside, but the time you are able to physically obtain a Lightning Zweihander +5 or other lightning weapon of choice, you have to have reached minimally Anor Londo. If you can get that far into the game as a level 7 character then I think you deserve it.

    yeah, if I was starting a fresh new character and I got invaded by a level 7 with crazy-ass gear and killed me and I knew he got it all legit, I would applaud him.

    Why do people call it a Pyro Glove, anyway? It's not even a glove.

    I thought everyone on here had already done a SL1 pyro run. Very simple to do. No need to have used bottomless box at all to get anywhere in this game.

    ALL OF MY BONERS.

    i'm just waiting for epic name bro's speculation video, i'm sure he'll deliver even more boner material.
    as far as the trailer goes... well, i'm not trying to be the buzzkiller but it doesn't look like dark souls at all, in my opinion. more like a mix between dragon age and diablo 3, much more "americanized" (if that's a word). beside that i'm excited as a kid, really didn't expected a direct sequel, but as we all know dark souls storyline and lore is so huge that they could build up at least a trilogy.

    EDIT - OH SHIT IT'S UP.

    So much is blacked out lol. I don't understand why a company would want to limit exposure to a product they will eventually spend money on promoting anyway.

    Greater magic weapon with just 15 int and the non-scaling oolacile(sp?) catalyst is pretty effective.

    Anyone that knows how to actually dodge boss attacks (or just cheese them with a crossbow) can do it. It isn't hard, I've done it on several characters. Non-scaling weapons are actually the easiest way to play NG anyway.

    And if you removed the ability to swap gear in pvp, you'd remove a bigger aspect of the game than one-shotting lowbies in undead berg. I'm not saying remove invasions, I'm saying fix them by removing non-scaling weapons/magic, and not tying the invasion/pvp flag into straight pve mechanics (that can be done offline anyway) like kindling bonfires and summoning NPC phantoms.

    EDIT: And by fixing low-mid level invasions and adding a way for those players to invade before beating anor lando, you'd end up with more people going online/human and actually doing legit pvp at those levels.

    It is surprisingly strong (198) but ironically because of the non-scaling nature of the catalyst, non-scaling being kind of the point.

    The whole point I was getting at was that non-caling weapons, by their very nature, are unbalanced. If they want to implement weapons that are versatile and can be used effectively with any build (ele weapons being the prime example) instead of making them non-scaling just make the damage scale with SL at a reasonable rate. The weapons fulfill their purpose without being disproportionally powerful.
