Aftrunner Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 PvP is AWESOME! Lag is there but its manageable. Just have to play smart and watch for people who fish for backstabs. Lag statement is based on the PS3 and PC versions. I am assuming 360 is the same too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(A)Kira Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 PvP is an integral part of DS1. You don't find as many matches now, but a fair number of people still play online. But the jump from PvE to PvP is huge. Your opponents will use every dirty trick in the book and more so. Just don't give up and keep invading. Oh and keep a Black Knight Shield+5 handy for those Great Combustion using pricks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A)Kira Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Played a little over an hour, and it was amazing. There were no summons cause of a server issue so yeah :/ I played the dual swordsman and it was really smooth and you could make really fluid combo strings. The environment plays a much bigger part in it too. And the zwei is a monster You can feel the power.

meaNmachine Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Played a little over an hour, and it was amazing. There were no summons cause of a server issue so yeah :/ I played the dual swordsman and it was really smooth and you could make really fluid combo strings. The environment plays a much bigger part in it too. And the zwei is a monster You can feel the power. Why did you leave so early? They sent a new message after you left. Due to the server issues almost everyone were unable to play co-op or PvP. So there will be another BETA session And the zwei is a monster You can feel the power. Next time select Warrior and play with the Ultra Greatsword. That sword is the real monster! Zwei is nothing compared to that sword. Completed the BETA twice. Played as Dual swordsman and Warrior. Game looks much much better than DS. Better textures and particle effects. Amazing cloth physics. Combat is almost same with better animations. Back-stab animation is so freaking cool! They are difficult to land but so satisfying! Now you can move while aiming with your bow. But manual aiming still sucks just like DS :/ Really like the new inventory which has a grid layout. Now there are three weapon slots for each hand and 10 item slot in quick access inventory. No more playing as undead. That was like an "easy mode" in Dark Souls. DS2 punishes you for playing as undead Every time you die, your health bar is reduced! You can reverse it by restoring humanity by consuming an item called human Effigy. You can restore humanity anywhere. If you die three/four times consecutively without restoring human form, then your health bar is reduced by almost 50% Can't wait for the next beta session. This time I ll try Temple Knight and Sorcerer class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(A)Kira Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Another session? SWEEEEEEET :panic: I forgot to mention that the parry is amazing if used properly. Basically you knock down the enemy to the ground and you can then deal a deadly blow to them. Its useful for crowd control where you can knock down enemies and deal with them later. Its nice that the inventory divides the weapons into its respective class. Easier to access and no more searching. And I was popping those stones like candy when I was playing. Hopefully the drop rate for them isn't this high, it'll be too easy then :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harjas Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 what another session ....HURRAY !! mene khela hi nahi aaj bhul gya tha beta ke bare mai ab wapis chance mil jayega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meaNmachine Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 And I was popping those stones like candy when I was playing. Hopefully the drop rate for them isn't this high, it'll be too easy then :/ Yea, I had like 15 lifestones left after finishing the Boss fight. LOL. I am sure the drop rate will decrease in the final game. Otherwise the game will be too easy. You finished the boss fight? It was so lame man. Didn't even die once :| I had more fun killing those dual sword bandits and those giant sickle wielding butchers. Both of these enemies were very aggressive and unpredictable. Those butchers killed me many times in the beginning. Best moment in the beta - After killing a group of bandits I was carefully walking along a steep cliff side towards the boss fog gate. Suddenly a Black phantom invaded my world from one side. It was that giant sickle wielding butcher! I turned back and started running in the opposite direction to find a safe place to fight and BAAM! Another Black phantom Butcher invaded from the other side. I was blocked from both the directions. Then I just prepared myself to die Classic Dark Souls trap! BTW I managed to kill them both without dying. That satisfaction! I think I can't play any other game today :| what another session ....HURRAY !! mene khela hi nahi aaj bhul gya tha beta ke bare mai ab wapis chance mil jayega You are lucky Don't miss the next test. Namco Bandai : We thoroughly apologize for all of the confusion and issues. We will be rescheduling the Network Test for another date. We know this is quite disheartening and we thank everyone for their enthusiasm. Everyone who was in this test will be allowed in for the next Dark Souls II PS3 Network Test. Your spot is secure. Next time you'll just have to download the patch that will be available. https://twitter.com/namcogames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(A)Kira Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Yeah I finished it. Even I encountered those phantoms, I just kept running back and forth and kept popping little hits at them. The worst part was that it always looked like one of them was going to fall off the edge, but they never would. EDIT: Did you find any rings in the beta? All I found was the Ring Of War or something like that. It was basically the Ring of Steel Protection.

meaNmachine Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Yeah, that ring of war (physical defense). Also that merchant near the first bonfire had one ring for sale (fire and magic defense). It was pretty useless. Playing as Dual Swordsman was more challenging. Didn't use a shield at all. Dagger + Str Sword combination The worst part was that it always looked like one of them was going to fall off the edge, but they never would . +1 I feel bad for those who played this BETA without playing any Souls game before.
