Xander whats good for you? I am open any night after 5pm PST this week. Not sure if you got my email or not.

Electronic (Cyber) Warfare with China is the real thing going on here, over money and information (one in the same these days). Terrorism just greased the wheels to move us further along to a fully integrated surveillance state.

Aside from maybe Smelter, RRA, and Iron King, I can't think of a boss that is actually harder than the trash leading up to it, at least once you know the strategy. The only bosses that ever gave me trouble were either stunlock fests (RRA) or gear checks (Smelter). Granted this assumes you know...

There are hexes that kill casting, in addition to the short term damage immunity buff. Now, granted the average chump who is busy clearing the level when Dark Phantom AzzRaperzz shows up is not going to have these slotted, but I am seeing a lot of people who help others through the majorly...

Edit- And for the record, I finished my first run at SL 187 with tons of gear I did not really need. I could most likely have done everything at around 160, but I really enjoyed messing with the various magics and I did a lot of Coop (I enjoy clearing a zone with a partner or two), which means...

You can be really efficient by simply judiciously equipping the Life Protection rings and offsetting major soul losses with those. There are three that I am aware of available by halfway though a standard NG. Paying 3k per death means that you don't bleed souls uselessly (total Souls...

Sure, if all you are looking to do is one shot vulnerable people who are mid clear and grief the ones you can't beat by destroying all of their gear, you are absolutely correct. If you are trying to burst kill and they have a buddy, you are going to run dry before you win though. A lot of...

Every President has a plan, then they get briefed on all the under the table shit on day one. Not excusing everything, but the reality is that the PotUS gets to see a lot of intel that the majority of the rest of the planet does not have access to once they are sworn in, which might alter their...

You ready to be pissed at yourself? The Ancient Dragon is beatable by anyone with a half assed mele attack. Step one: Run in between the toes of one of his back feet and chop. Step two: When he tried to stomp you, roll to the other foot and repeat step one. It is literally that easy...

Blaming this on Obama is fair to a point, but lets remember that Darth Cheney is not only the guy who put this all in place, but also the asshole who had a mansized safe in his office and deleted his entire home from google maps. This is hardly a partisan issue. This shit has been a long time...

Edit- And the Dark Elf vendor guy in the crypt stocks 10 of them at some point.

The most consistent effigy farm rate I got was sporting a Jester Hat and Gold covetous Ring +1 and murder the fish men in the Shrine before the crypt. The big gazebo area before Demon of Song is a good spot, as there are tons of them there and the only real threat are the casters (who are worth...

Dragon is just about keeping close and not fucking up. If you stick close he almost never flies up. More DPS just shortens the fight. To survive his hits, you need stupid amounts of poise and defense. Most builds on the first run through (where you have a the best shot at winning) are not...

PS- Looks like I might get to repay Funkor for breaking my run at perfection on the final game, but his lizards are tough as nails so I kind of doubt it.

Xannder, you know how to reach me. I will be around all weekend for the most part.

As for the vote, if I am being intellectually honest, willful retardation wins out over too dumb or crazy to know better, so: Move on Melrin and a_skeleton_03.

a_skeleton_03, because Lumi is genuinely crazy while a_skeleton_03 is only a coward.

Vortex requires them to close. And a 1k hitting soul geyser from an invader is nearly impossible for someone to defend against with a typical PVE setups and (as you already pointed out) most PvP ones too. Not faulting you for it, since the game has PVP as a dedicated element, just saying that...

It is done. Somehow, Nuatha the Warrior decided he had enough and ran in a pick six to seal the tie. AG2ftw!

I would put Watchmen, Dark Knight, Spiderman 2, and Sin City above X2. X2 was good, though. It just had terrible pacing and a weak ending scene that depended on Penisclopse's lack of acting.

Not likely, I am doing horrible this season hehe. Too used to my immortal amazons.

Correction, I am not using the Witch Tree Branch for my catalyst, but the white crystal ones that the casters in the shrine drop. Its effect is that it does more damage the more human you are. It can also be smithed up with standard titanite, which is awesome. In testing comparing it to the...

I managed to farm the one that drops off of casters in the Shrine before crypt. It is hands down the best sorcery catalyst in the game, especially if you are human while using it. Hexes will work better with the staff with the little atom on the end (forget the name) and the blue staff from...

Are you home today then? I get home around 1pm PST (4pm your time I guess).

Numbers, I need another day. Went back to work and now feeling terrible. I should be home 1pm PST tomorrow and can play any time you want to after that. If Funk cannot wait to move the day, then you should get the win, though I would rather play you since our games are always crazy fun.

Yay for Amana farming with crappy item farm gear on. I was lucky to clear that shit pit when the servers were down so I did not get chain invaded there. Not the case lately, though. Guy I was escorting got chain invaded five times during our clear to Demon of Song. Wish I had been Blue...

That Alonne greatbow is pretty solid for long distance snipes, but the ammo is a bit pricey. I mostly use a Black Bow of Lightning +10, myself. With wooden arrows and S20D26, I can deal enough damage to do the job when I need to drill something from a safe distance. If I need archery to do...

I am actually having fun just coop helping people with the end boss fights. Dedicated casters are pretty rare from what I am seeing, so I am getting summoned a lot for the harder end bosses. I get a lot of souls doing it and I can have a sign out while farm clearing the area myself. Plus, if...

Yeah the optional fights are murder. Fuck the Dark Covenant, seriously. Fuck it twice for requiring an Effigy for every attempt. Ancient Dragon is pretty much just getting close initially and then executing for 20 minutes straight without fucking up at all. Vendrick I am still hung up on...

Sorry Numbers, I was sick most of the weekend and the wife hid my phone to make sure I would get some rest. I can knock this out any time today after 6pm PST.

Yeah the fully upgraded Sunbro blade is pretty damn good. That covenant is probably the best one to be in because coop is the best method of soul farming at various points.

IF your stats are good for it, the halberd and bow you get from trading with Straid seem pretty good, but as mostly a caster I have traded in zero boss souls. Honestly, it seems like you are better off finding a weapon that relates to your stats plus has a moveset you are good with, and then...

PS- The poison hex is the most retardedly busted spell in the game for gimping bosses. I got sick of losing to smelt so I farmed my faith up enough to use it and killed him the very next try by stacking 8 casts on him and following it up with some poison throwing knives. Dude dotted to death...

The spears are solid, if a little low on raw damage. Most of them scale off of one of the casting attributes, so they are good for someone going magic like I am. Halberds were my favorite mele weapon, but there are not a lot of good ones in here and it seems like it takes a while before you...

How long have you been married Noodles?

The best thing about this game is the random wandering that you can do and end up on long tangents. Last night, after farming up some levels for gear reqs, I clear most of Iron Citidel (fucking Smelter is still making me his bitch) and decide to try out the jester gear in the pit with all the...

Chances are good that a 24 year old girl visiting a male friend WAS banging him, but yeah you pretty much went nuclear immediately. This not only means you will never bang her, but any female remotely associated with her is probably off limits now, too.

I am about mid game and the Sorc spells are still pretty clutch, though there is a scaling issue where the higher end spells do not do enough damage to compensate for their longer casting times and limited uses. Most of the tougher trash and bosses can be picked apart by rolling soul arrow...

Until he Araysar started a_skeleton_03ing the Ukrain and WW2 threads, I would of said a_skeleton_03. But Araysar has proven he is a more evolved version of a_skeleton_03's trolling.

Once you clear the Heide Tower of Flame, dropping a sign near either of the boss entrances and just farming the statues is a descent way to get summons. I spent a couple hours just doing that and managed to get like 20 tokens of fidelity for the blue covenant. The area is easily accessible and...
