repost because it got buried in last thread

I want to make a playthrough to get all the achivements in DS1. So I need all the weapons, pyros, sorcs & miracles.

I guess the best option is to go for a int character swapping to dex in ng+ so I can do bosses fast, is there any stat requirement apart from the 10 int to get sorceries from Giggs?

Is there any better build to do the achievements? I have no idea where to start, I guess I'll have to notepad everything

I was born to suffer.
Can't pinpoint the reason why it's happening. Not overheating, already tried downgrading drivers, alternative drivers, NO drivers, reinstalling, changing settings, etc.
I just want to play it so bad and now that I've gotten closer than ever it just decides to stop working right.

All I wanted was to git gud...
>>
>>126623207
some changes to pve are nice, others awful so that alone isn't worth it in my opinion
lighting was somewhat improved in the sense that dark areas now are dark, although in a clumsy way

but the pvp/online aspects alone are worth it, I would be surprised to find anyone still playing vanilla ds2 online

the stutters happens to alot of people when they reach that area
restart your PC and it should be fixed

PvE has a ton of enemy and loot placement changes. Enemies are more aggressive and can aggro from further range...you will understand this when you reach Iron Keep.

>I would be surprised to find anyone still playing vanilla ds2 online
I'm getting constant invasions at 200k sm at the Lunar Belltower/post-sentinels Bastille bonfire. Probably the result of Christmas steam sales or something, but whatever, I'm quite happy.
The arena and the bridge are still alive as well, although they've always been active.
I am too lazy to buy and finish SotFS at this point, since it's less than 4 months till DaS3 release..
>>
>>126623406
It's not a stutter. It makes the game crash, then my driver crash, then my computer freeze irreparably. Amusingly enough my admittedly average specs managed to hold out fine in Blighttown and my FPS was pretty stable through all of it. Now it just decides to crash and burn seemingly at random. At first I assumed it was overheating, since the exact thing happens in OTHER games when it gets too hot, but after extensive testing it seems Dark Souls is the only game where it just happens out of the blue, even when the temperatures are fine.

>>126623462
It might be just the game hating my hardware for poor optimization reasons, but if that was the case chances are I'd find people with similar problems somewhere, which I've been unable to. And I have faith I could run DS2 fine but I wanted to play through the first one before that.

>>126623514
That's... a bit of a no brainer, but thanks all the same. It's the thought that counts.

>>126623785
That's a good idea, but I wonder if my laptop could handle it.

>>126623516
Physical defence doesn't do shit.
It's a fps related issue. You can lower the damage of criticals by lowering your fps. I think the first breakpoint was 42 fps.

That's assuming they don't patch it out. They patched it out of Scholars because PS4 and Xbone had the problem.

tfw ignored PC userbase.

The lore is full of speculative stuff and if you try to figure out the lore with the help of guides you'll end up like all the faggots that literally can't tell the difference between fanfic and lore. That being said Deddan's image series is a good place to start.
VaatiVidya is entertaining but the biggest offender when it comes to spreading fanfic like it's canon.

https://thedcgamer.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/the-history-of-dark-souls-by-deddan-on-rdarksouls/

Plague of Gripes also has that one joke lore video which presents stuff in an easy to explain way, although some parts are flat out wrong.

Purely SM based. The Bloodfag arena is SL based but very rarely will you come across someone in your SL range, when it can't detect anyone it just removes matchmaking and will put you with an 838 Havelhexer most likely.

From what we've seen of the leaked screenshots (specifically that one vista of the bleeding sun) I really get the impression that they'll be going for something similar to Bloodborne where the First Flame fading out and returning the world to Dark causes tons of weird shit to happen like when the Ayylmaos invaded.

Lore notes from DaS3 beta:

>“Grave of a nameless retainer. Raised his sword for the Lord of Cinder”

>“This exile was chased from his homeland, and haunted by a black sun”

>“To honour and shadowy retreats. Fear the sun’s tempations, and the winged executioner”

>Died in solitude. May his soul find its way back to Frigid Valley”

I do prefer lore videos done like DaveContol's. He mostly flashes in-game item descriptions and voice clips relating to the subject, then provide his short speculation. The divide between fanfic and lore is clear and you can form your own opinions.

At first there was nothing( 1) except for dragons that weren't alive nor dead, but then the First Flame came into existence and along with it came disparity

Primordial humanoids (2) found souls within the First Flame. Some of them turned out to be Lord Souls (3). The humanoids turned into godlike humans (4)

These godlike humans began waging war on all dragons

Gwyn ushered the world in the Age of Fire by linking the bonfires

After some time the fire begins to fade because that's what fire does, the Souls of living things get weaker and thus their drive to live dies off. This spread of the Dark is represented in the form of the Dark Sign. When your Soul/inner fire is extinguished you turn Hollow, lacking all drive (5)

Every human infected by the Dark Sign (6) begins the Hollowing process. You can stop the process by gathering Souls and Humanity to keep your drive to survive up. (7) The player character is NOT Hollow, he's Hollowing. All sane NPCs are merely Hollowing. Only once they view their purpose in life as fulfilled they turn Hollow (8)

Gwyn tried to stop the spread of the Dark by linking the bonfires once more, but it didn't work (9)

1: See intro, 2: We don't know what the humanoids in the intro are, where they came from or for how long they've been chilling in that tree stump, 3: Gwyn, Nito, the Witch and Pygmy acquired Lord Souls. We don't know whether the holders shaped the souls or the souls shaped their holders, 4: The community often refers to them as Giants which is confusing as fuck since there's a race of actual Giants that's already called Giants, 5: Half fact half theory, 6: We don't know what triggers the Dark Sign itself, 7: Humanity is like a bundle of life, 9: Like half the NPCs, 9: Probably because he was too weak at that point

That's my take on it, but I'm just a faggot

My theory is that the godlike humans began to wage war on the dragons because the Primordial Serpents tricked them into doing it. After all they're imperfect dragons by lore, so they were probably turbo jelly.

It's because it's harder to write fanfic because the lore is way more cryptic.

>>126628389
Honestly, it had potential. I find shit about Drangleic and Vendrick to be way more interesting than Lordran or Gwyn. Problem is, instead of actually developing what they had, they just threw in DaS1 fanservice wherever there could have been room for original lore.

i think he was the one that less shunned gwyndolin because all gwyndolin is doing is for gwyn, everyone else left gwyndolin.

It's a joint venture between Gwyn and Nito. After Gwyn was fired, Nito became chief administrator. The first thing he wanted to do was to increase the RAM, but Pinwheel stole the plans to it.

I think it's because DaS2 felt like a big letdown after the first one. I still like the second one a lot, but it missed so much of what made the first game amazing.
>>
>>126633790
The guy was saying how DaS2 is not as bad as it's actually claimed to be, and told people to offer specific reasons as to why it is flawed, instead of just writing shitty opinions.

But yeah, there certainly is a hate-relationship for the Souls community, which is probably rooted in the "PRAISE THE SUN DARK SOUL IS IMPOSSIBLE" response this game has gotten in popular culture.
