lol that's why I haven't used any yet even though there is stuff I still want to farm from enemies that stopped spawning. I guess it wouldn't be too bad as long as it was a bonfire that didn't affect the boss.

I turtle behind a shield a lot too. I started a new file to play with a friend the other day and forced myself to dual wield and not use shields. It's not easy for me :/ Yeah I can't parry worth a damn so I'm all like "oh god /roll /roll /roll /poke /roll /roll /poke /poke.
I've also noticed that enemies despawn after I've been through them a lot, do they ever respawn?

I've also noticed that enemies despawn after I've been through them a lot, do they ever respawn? nope, as we were just talking about a few posts back the only way to respawn them is to burn a bonfire ascetic at the bonfire which will increase all enemies (including bosses) to respawn at the next NG+ level and it carries over into your next NG level. So for instance in my NG I used 3 bonfire ascetics in 1 area so in NG+, that one area will be NG++++ for me :/

Love getting ganked in Belfry Sol farming that Red Phantom. And some guy just invaded me now, backstabbed me from infront of me, then I rolled away, and he was hitting me with his sword when I was definitely not in range, and was killed, lovely.

Magic is broken as hell in PvP. Almost every spell is extremely fast and most of them hit for 900-1000 damage.

Yep :/ When it comes to melee PvP I actually have been doing pretty well, but I don't think I've ever beat a pure Magic user. Either they gank me while I'm spawning or after we bow I get Lightning thrown at me fast as hell. It's w/e though I just accept it and move on to the next melee player.

I just got highest rank in the Bellkeeper Covenant from killing the red phantoms and some invaders/trespassers, but probably like 80/20 phantoms to pvp. The armor set you get is junk, not that I really wanted it, was mainly trying to get the one trophy for maxing devotion to a covenant, and the armor set from that red phantom, which I still haven't gotten the body piece. I'm a little concerned because one time, we killed each other at the same time and of course it dropped something, and some people on the gamefaqs board say he only drops 1 of each piece so I may be screwed...

Co-op is really meant for bosses and a few trash enemies. Kinda stupid they don't give you the option of running the whole game with a friend and making it much harder or something. That would be pretty cool.

Basically. if you do a certain NPCs quest line you'll get the actual White sign soapstone that'll let your phantom stay MUCH longer.

Uuuuuuuuuuugh, good at murdering casters now. Now they all disconnect the second they fail to hit you with Crystal Homing Soulmass or Soul Greatsword.

Well I beat the Dark Chasm place. I went through 20 Effigies I think, most of which were to the one with Havel, which I did first. I died once to the boss only because I wasn't expecting to be put right into the boss fight after finished the 3rd Chasm, and didn't know what she was doing. 2nd fight, only got hit 1 time, and when I killed the boss was right after it split, and the one was teleporting, and the other was up high, and as I killed them, the bodies glitched and flew across the screen lol, unless that was supposed to happen?

Why are people so HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE in the Pursuer fight? I've been killed 5 times or so from people shooting me with the stupid Ballista! If you hit Pursuer with the Ballista it does 990 DMG ( I believe 99%) to him. The cheesy way to beat him (which I've used in 3 play throughs now) is to parry him with a shield right in front of 1 and then run behind him and shoot it at him.
Edit: Correction. Just watched a speed run and you don't need a shield to parry him.

I just hate that the game turns you into your own worst enemy:
Me @ SL35 in the bell tower - " God damn invasions I hate this $!%*% game! These guys have no life just picking on weak new players!" As if these hard hitting dwarfs weren't enough pain for a mage I get invaded by 3 people before I can summon an ally!"
Me SL80 - " Man I need titanite chunks, better go kill people in the bell tower."
What have I become....
