All of this is good advice if a bit hard to read as a big block of text. I'll also add this: As common sense as it sounds, you will lose games. Even after you have mastered the game, own every card and know things inside and out. You will still lose games. The difference between the great...

Maybe not a Day 1 purchase for me but I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point. After being let down by Revelations and AC3, AC4 was simply phenomenal so they earned my trust back.

I beat the game and never rage quit on a single boss. Decided to play for a bit and clear some areas that I hadn't gone through before. My first boss rage quit was on fucking Royal Rat Authority. I honestly don't know why he wasn't the final boss because he's a shit ton harder than Nashandra...

Open Beta began sometime in January. We've been in "release" for a couple of weeks now. If you decide to sign up, it's a VERY frustrating experience for a few weeks while you work to obtain cards and learn the game. You can learn a lot by watching streams and videos. You don't need to...

Cashed in my dust that I've been saving and threw together a Warrior Control Deck and Cenarius for various druid decks. Decided to play a Token Druid deck (Violet Paw) and this was the result:

Hunter Aggro is extremely frustrating to play against but oneof the big reasons for that is because Hunter IS effective. It's probably the most consistent "to your face" aggro rush deck out there because it can deal with an opponent's board (such as taunts, otherwise you essentially ignore the...

Finished the main game myself. I was Soul Level 166 when I beat the final boss and had just over 60 hours on the clock. The last boss was a joke. She did kill me a few times but, overall, she is pathetically easy. I'll probably play through NG+ at some point but I need a break from the game...

Microsoft Xbox One Titanfall Bundle w/ Titanfall Game + 1-Month Xbox Live $450 + Free Shipping - Walmart Deals, Coupons and Promos There's your discounted XBone. It's actually not a bad deal if you actually wanted an XBone.

There's another area (The Gutter I think) that is also PVP oriented. It's under the control of the Rat King with tons of traps. If you join the Covenant and wear the ring that he gives you, you "pull" invaders into your world. The advantage is that you won't get attacked by any enemies and...

I upgraded the Magic Mace I found to +10 and that's my main weapon. It's fast enough for me and does decent damage to enemies who are armored up. It's not great for swarms but I tend to switch to magic to take those out one at a time. My backup weapon is the Sun Sword also at +10. It does...

Yeah, I've gone through several hundred arrows in the Shrine of Amana alone and I'm only at the 2nd bonfire. Like I said in an earlier post, I'm brute forcing it by killing a few enemies and, inevitably, dying to something over and over and abusing the enemy extinction "feature." Iron Arrows...

I entered the Shrine of Amana and this is the first place that's making me rage a bit. It took fucking forever but I managed to get most of the important stuff despite all of the drop offs which are nearly impossible to see. But the fucking Clerics that chain cast homing arrow are bullshit...

Right now I just entered the Castle. The big spider boss was more annoying than difficult but she did take me 3 tries. It's the little spiders that make the fight difficult. Once I learned to deal with them first (and just kill off respawns), the fight got a lot easier. The Lost Sinner...

Smelter Demon was the 2nd boss I summoned help in for. Here's my strategy for him. Summon two people to help out. For the first half of his life, I go melee and just attack on openings. As soon as he drops to 50% health and pulls out the fiery sword, I drop back and go ranged. The big...

Some people assist others a few times to learn the boss first and then summon people which will trigger the cutscene. But, yeah, generally I feel the same way and don't really feel compelled to utilize all of my items when 9 times out of 10 the host is going to get gibbed by a mechanic he knows...

Pretty much the only thing I'm doing these days is making sure to complete my daily quests. I may play a couple extra games here and there but I've been too busy with Lightning Returns a few weeks ago and Dark Souls 2 now. Dark Souls 2 is simply really addictive and I love the game. As such...

I think I'm gradually overleveling the game. Right now I'm about Soul Level 135 because I'm very cautious. I have no problem clearing to a boss, learning the layout of things and then going all the way back to a bonfire to cash in the 30K souls I've accumulated so I don't risk losing them...

I'm using a Magic Mace now. It has B Strength scaling and also scales with INT. My Mace is +7 and is doing a lot more damage than the +9 Fire Longsword. Smelting Demon is extremely resistant to fire so I needed something else.

I felt the same way at times. In fact, I still haven't ever killed the final boss without using summons. I think the big difference between the two games is that Demons Souls was intended to be hard but I don't think the developers quite knew what kind of reaction they were going to get. So...

I just killed the Iron King and lit my first Primal Bonfire. A lot of the NPCs reference how the land has been known by many names in the past but none are remembered due to the passage of time (and the nature of decay in the Dark Souls universe). I think it's fairly safe to say that the...

After finishing Lightning Returns and moving on to Dark Souls 2, I've been playing my PS3 more now than ever before. I got a 360 really early on in the generation but the PS3 was my "winner" by the end of the generation. I haven't touched my 360 in about a year. In fact I can't even remember...

I felt the same way with the Medusa boss in the pit of poison. I'd put down a sign, get summoned and then turn around. The 3 times I did that, the entrance area was full of poison still. Not going to bother helping others with her. She's easy enough solo anyway. So far the only boss I had...

Ouch... As I mentioned, earlier I killed the Gargoyles. Then I backtracked a bit to clear the Huntsmen area. The Undead Executioner was really easy and I killed it on my second try. Pushed forward and killed the Skeleton Lords on my second try as well. Went a bit ahead and saw that the...

BTW having 100% health and a useful ring in the 4th slot > than 75% health and only 3 effective rings... I wouldn't have thought that would be a difficult concept but who knew?

You seem pretty hostile towards me over a video game. I was going to invite you to my big birthday bash but now I'm reconsidering that.

Noxious loves Lorewalker Cho but his deck is the very definition of a gimmick deck.

Extremely situationally... Also something must be wrong with my eyes because I don't see a card in the lower right slot. I just see a flashing neon sign that says "Disenchant for 100 Arcane Dust."

While I don't feel that I need to be Human 100% of the time, it is a drastic change from the previous games. In Demons Souls, you returned to Human after helping kill a boss. In Dark Souls you received an extra Humanity. So in that regard, most of us assumed that not returning to Human after...

I'm reading a couple things that are saying that reviving as a human after helping somebody kills a boss is a "bug" and is being looked into. Note that the bug isn't the chance to revive as a human. What they're saying is that there should be zero chance to revive as a human and that the...

I can't even imagine a no death or a no bonfire run... I know the game is masochistic but that's a bit over the top for me. Anyway, I cleared the first Belfry area (Luna I think). It was pretty stressful but I learned the best way to get through the area was to simply be extremely...

Yeah, it's represented in game too. The Secret is purple on your opponent's turn meaning it's active and able to be revealed. On your turn, the Secret turns black indicating that it cannot be activated. The color change really only helps if you're aware of the change that was made though.

The first Dark Souls is easily worth $20.

So after killing the 3 Sentinels, I explored around a bit and found myself in the Belfry. I, promptly, was invaded for the first time ever and since I wasn't prepared for it, lost quickly. I decided to backtrack and killed the Dragonrider in one attempt (I only raised one platform too so...

I ordered the guide along with the game. I've barely touched the thing to try and keep the experience as pure as possible but I was looking through the armor sets and I noticed something really interesting. For melee characters, once you kill the Pursuer, there is a set of armor (Drangleic)...

Don't do that. Two drops are actually some of the best cards in the game for when you can play them. A Faerie Dragon or Knife Juggler that isn't able to be removed can, basically, win you the game. If the opponent can't remove them right away, they are on the defensive and that gives you a...

I finally killed the Sentinels in Bastille. It was a lot easier solo than with "helpers." I went in and made a few attempts and got the pattern down pretty good but was running low on Hollow health (never got the ring that stabilizes health at 75%) so I helped out on The Pursuer to become...

Good to know. I don't mind not being invaded (yeah I'm a filthy casual Dark Souls player) but just thought it odd that I haven't seen a single invasion.

Yes, basic and common cards can be very effective. Things like the Yeti and Shattered Sun Cleric are really good. However, you still need a lot of experience with the game to learn how to make effective use of everything. There's a learning curve involved and watching streams/videos, while...

So how many Hosts has everyone killed while helping with The Pursuer? I'm up to 3 now. Idiots keep jumping in front of my arrow barrage when I have a perfect shot at the guy. Also, is it strange that I haven't been invaded a single time yet? I'm about Soul Level 60 (I think) and haven't...

Unless you put money into the game, you're going to suck pretty hard at the game for a solid month or so as you learn the ins and outs. If you do put money into the game, you're still going to suck for awhile. As they say, it's "deceptively simple" but there's a lot of complexity. Watching...
