Dark Souls 2 - Thread

A friend of mine who's really into the Dark Souls games said that 3 tohim was a disappointement. Apparently is has a lot of re-cycled bosses and the maps is uninspireing. I'm still more than happy to give it a shot, waiting to buy Dark Souls though to play through again!

I liked DS1 more than DS2 but both are great games, as usual i think its just that for me DS1 was such a "different" type of game at the time and DS2 is really just more of the same.
 
So I got back into DS2 and really enjoying it. I got about 40 hours in and accidentally deleted my ds2 appdata folder, instead of just the config file when I had a start-up issue.
So I am starting again. Chose cleric for something new. Doing much better all round now, I have the dranglaic shield, staring mace/chime at +3, the saints set from the creepy miracle women behind the dragonrider and lightning spear.

So couple of questions...

Why is lightning spear so weak? I have 30 natural faith, plus the ring of prayer but it just seems very underpowered when you take into account the number of uses.
When I heal in co-op, just how close to the others do I have to be to heal them too?
Is the starting chime the best I can get for now? So far I have killed the last giant, dragonrider, old dragon slayer and the pursuer.
 
For a while now I'm looking for Dark Souls 2 Season Pass (discounted offers),but it seems to me there ain't any. I've seen deals for Dark Souls 2 game (steam sale,g2a,...).
Have you seen deals for Season Pass enywhere?
Cheapest place to get it at the moment?

I think they nerfed lightning spear? ^ cant quite remember though!

The content patch for this is out today i believe! Adds the new npc for the scholar of the first sin version along with many other tweaks!

Looks like its time to replay :)

I am thinking of a fast paced character, maybe dual wielder with no shield to get me used to that style before bloodborne

Is this viable? Any tips? Its been a while since i last played through this!

The Scholar of the First Sin DX9 only patch is now live on Steam.

You have to buy the entire game again in april if you want the nextgen DX11 FX & all DLC :rolleyes:

Source? So, hold on... The base DS2 is in DX9 only? And the DX11 features are none existent but will be in a 'newer' version of the game, which you have to buy again...????

Correct DX11 is a paid upgrade which is a little extreme to me as well but thats the decision Namco made you need to buy the Scholar of The Sin edition in April :(

Also the game exe has been heavily updated its gone from 18.4MB to 31.6MB so a lot of changes have been made & 21:9 support is broken again for now until the widescreen plugin is updated.
 
Tbh the new gen console trailer looks idebtical to pc version anyway, its not going to be to the quality of the original gameplay we saw before release im sure.

Its a huge upgrade over ps3/360 i guess

Any comparison screenies?

I have yet to play through DS2 and I'm more than happy to provide the devs with more pennies if it's a nice upgrade and including DLC. As far as I'm concerned, they have earn't their pocket money from me. And then some.

No time right now it looks the same to me but others reckon this new patch has improved textures/shaders.
