Just realized you can get a torch from the bonfire, just press Triangle when standing next to it and the option will appear. Makes things a lot easier.

I'm a little disappointed. I LOVED dark souls but it feels like dark souls 1.5. It's perfect for people who wanted more Dark Souls.

Doh. I just finished off my last one, thinking about if I will make a new character or not. I can see you being bored since there is limited content, well I hope you at least enjoyed the Network Test.

Got in ( eu ), summoning signs seem to disappear very quickly.
that's funny because so many people have said it's too different from Dark Souls 1

Either summoning has issues or they're getting called that fast.
I'm playing like crap, way too sleepy to focus. I got as far as the rope bridge.
That ended well.

I was invaded when I became an undead.....this changes everything for me now lol
I no longer feel safe.
Was helping someone and saw 4 red phantoms on poles. I knew there would be trouble. All of a sudden one by one they dropped down. They ate through my defense and broke my guard

I think I said it before, but From needs to indicate human/soul forms better since I have no clue if I'm human or soul and having to use human effigys to use the cracked eye orb when I thought I was human and vice-versa is confusing.
Take off your helmet and when you're (extra) hideous you'll know you're hollow.
Or you can look at your health meter. That'll have slivers off if you're not human.

After playing it for about an hour, I like it. I was never a huge fan of the last two games, but enjoyed them. Dragon's Dogma combat is still more fun to me, but this game is looking to be pretty solid when it's out.
No, because even when I'm human there's slivers off that bar. It's not a good indicator, and I shouldn't have to take armor off to find out.

Same happened to me last time, lol
I guess me falling in that hole in the bridge was a nice warning to my summoner
-_-
prolly a covenant item

Hmm, I can get summoned and invade but cannot summon players or pvp'ers. Weird.
*edit* My game just froze out of the blue, lame.

Have you ridden the horses? If not, there's your second thing to do.

mine too but its just loading because someone summoned me
been like this for 3 minutes
What's the path to the horses? Feels like I've hit a dead end in the Skeleton Lord chamber.
I think it's passing the big bridge, the one with the Red fat ass phamton at the door.
If you haven't seen the four red things, you haven't been the right way. Go explore.
I noticed I missed the small bridge next to the big one you had to lower. Thanks!
So apparently there are no regions in the beta? I have invaded countless Japanese and EU players, and the connections to both are pretty terrible. I summoned a Red for a duel and it seemed pretty smooth on both sides, but I have invaded and most of the encounters are very laggy.

Keep getting stun locked when in PVP. Annoying.
The player that I fought was almost completely cloaked too. Couldn't see his body or weapon. Just a glow.

Correct. This round (and well, was supposed to be LAST round) is a world-wide one.
Not really on the hype train for this anymore. Played about 4 or so hours altogether between the two tests and I can't stand the feel of it. I'm pumping Agility and everything still feels too sluggish and slow, and the animations are, well, bad in a gameplay way. Pvp feels a real step down from DS and DeS. And I doubt anything substantial will change before March.
I guess they changed too much for my liking and it lacks that precision of movement that I found so central to teh first two. Oh well.

Press X for awesome.
Summoning failed, the sign has disappeared x 100000
Anyone else unable to summon?

Yep, I was playing a ton of Demon's literally right before I started playing this 2nd round of the beta, I already played the first. It doesn't feel right, I don't like the movement of your character. Dark and Demon's have a much more precise and controllable feel. This beta feels sloppy in comparison, even with 40 agility, you move faster, but not cleaner. There is no replicating the smooth and direct input for character control like previous Souls games.
Looks to be good for PvE, and I am sure there will be a ton of activity and fun to be had, but the core mechanics of character control just aren't there in this beta. Not sure what kind of lasting power this game will have for me, or if I will get really into the PvP aspect of it like I did with Dark Souls.
