Do most bosses drop something if you cut something off?

Painted World of Ariamis is running at like 20 fps for me, nothing like blight town but still really annoying... I swear that yesterday it wasnt this bad, anyone else have framerate dips here?

That's odd, it's constant 30fps (with RARE 20-25 drops from time to time). PS3 or 360? 60GB, installed, etc?

No.

I'm pretty sure NPC deaths don't carry over, at least they didn't in Demon's Souls.

DSP just stated that "Namco Bandai" designed the game (DkS) to be a game that you play for 4 months. A couple of hours per day.

Watch EpicNameBro's play instead, he's playing the Japanese version and is pretty helpful and positive about the game. He's also actually quite good at the game.

Or listen to this:

Yeah I'm subscribed to him also, he's got a very positive attitude to the game.

In my first sentence I said I joined them! Do I have to rank up before they appear as I have yet to be summoned.

Ahh sweet, thought I was screwed! Cheers

 

[blitzcloud]

it's kind of funny that water is the source of major framedrops. I can't understand why they couldn't use a more simple water if that was such a major problem.

Ok wtf.

I'm SL8, got to the place with the boar and decided to summon a Phantom. He looked like a starting level character, like me, so everything was fine.
Then I got invaded. And the invader had a

We backstabbed him at least 4 or 5 times and his health didn't seem to drop much...needless to say he killed us both.
I thought invaders were supposed to be pretty much the same level as you!? What the hell happened?
Also now the gate behind that place is opened and the

disappeared. Thanks, I guess?

Haha, I don't know how I missed that. I never ranked up and they showed up, so I'm not sure. If you go from quelaag's domain straight through the swamp to the waterwheel you can't miss them, he's right under the stairs you initially climb.

Maybe you need to talk to him in the forest first, he's right before the cat, just past all the people you had to fight before joining next to a cliff.

Except you need her to trade in the fire keeper soul, you have to be able to trade them into someone after all.

 

[Riposte]

Think I might have burned out myself. Don't know, but I will probably make a new character after a break. Then again, I think I am one boss from the end of the game.

 

[Yoshichan]

Can't you just be trading them in to the lady in Anor Lando?

I mean the huuuge ones. I know it's not very well optimized and stuff, but for example on (dontknowthenamesofplacesyet) place below the shrine, when you see all that beautiful water while going through a bridge towards an imminent death unless you are cursed/have a cursed weapon, you move the camera up till no water is to be seen and it runs smooth... tilt down to water? single digits.

80gb model.

So it's an 80GB model? It's what they replaced the 60GB model with right? The 80GB model is the first one to lose backwards compatibility

Ahh that makes sense, I will check again tonight and if he is still not there I guess I will head back to the forest! Cheers.

When i fight all the spikey things in the courtyard of Painted World of Ariamis it is lucky to hold 15 fps, blight town level fps at that part.

My 80gb model has software b/c. Don't think they made them for long though.

A question about Londo: What happens if I

kill Gwyndolin? Does that open up more gameplay options?

. I've been hitting a four king's related wall for hours now. Need something else to do.

 

[KAOz]

Yes you can.

Currently at +4 Estus. Aiming to have at least +5 soonish. Does the reinforcements carry over to NG+?

 

[zlatko]

I've had like 4 people invade my world in the last 24 hours, and I've slapped the shit out of them for it. The last guy was hilarious. He shows up, gets ready to cast some crazy fire spell, and it hits the tiny pole in front of him, lighting him on fire for 1/3rd of his health, and he must have tried to heal, because right when I get there I get all my free stabs from my weapon and he dies on my last bit of stamina. Thanks for the free 35,000 souls dude.

 

[Lyonaz]

Lol, I got summoned to invade a player in the Forest by my covenant and there was this Japanese player who first kicked my ass and another guy who also got summoned. Few minutes later I got another summon and my fellow phantom and me managed to kick the same player's ass, had the killing blow with a backstab off the stairs.
I got 143k souls, thank you Kuroe255!
So the souls you get is the amount the player has on him? If that's the case I made a few guys happy who killed me during invasions. I'm invading worlds with 143k on me.

 

[Yoshichan]

Yes you can.

Yessssss. Just beat Ornstein and that fat bastard after 3 tries. What an amazing and tough fight. The music was great too.
