I never played Dark Souls or Demon's Souls, but I'm picking this up for the EU launch on Friday. I tried to do some research on the classes and I have no clue how they work even after reading what I could find. Can anyone explain? Is it mostly about starting stats or something?
Just had my first game freeze. Was walking around a random area of the Doors of Pharros when I suddenly got summoned as a grey phantom for no discernible reason. next thing I knew I had some guy chasing me and right when we were about to engage, boom, frozen. *sigh* no idea if I'll be able to get that to happen again now.

The safe bet is to choose Explorer. It starts with a bunch of extra stuff and an interesting set of armor. Stat-wise, you can be practically anything as an explorer and have just about the lowest soul level of any starting class, which could be useful if you get 40 hours into the game and decide you want to do a full respec. About the only 'archetype' that another class has a significant advantage over explorer is 'dex melee with faith backup and no int stuff whatsoever'. Bandit will save you 4 SLs there, but that's really the only thing it's well-suited to.

Rerolled a warrior and didn't join hard mode covenant. Game feels easy mode. Well, until I got to that big knight thing that is dropped from a bird or whatever. That guy promptly fucked me up.

Yeah I saw the trick after I had already done it. Only took me like 4 tries brute forcing it though. Wait til Rat Authority D:
Just beat The Rotten. I hadn't seen it mentioned in any guides, but I managed to chop off both of his arms and there was a pharros lockstone on the ground after I killed him /shrug.

Bombs once you spawn the boss lock on it (tint is different) and just keep bombing kills it quick plus most of the adds without breaking a sweat.
Fireballs could work too probably but still don't have a pyro flame yet. (Got spells from the petrified chick though)

The main path you are supposed to take after the Ruin Sentinels is towards ringing the bell and the gargoyle boss right?
Still not found a spell vendor except the extra soul arrow from the first old lady merchant. And are there any merchants that lets you sell items? So many hollow and royal armor pieces.

Miracle girl is in Heide's tower at the second bonfire after you kill the Dragonrider. Sorcerer dude is near the ship in No-Man's Wharf. Also the girl you un-petrify to unlock Shaded Woods is a sorcerer who will go back to Majula after you talk to her and can upgrade your Pyro flame.
About petrified girl:
Nice, just one shot skeleton lords
About petrified girl:
After you cure her, exhaust all of her talk options (give her armor to get a trophy) and then leave the area so she'll leave to Majula. If you open the gate, she can be killed by the mobs that rush you.

Thank you. Went and killed the Dragonrider. He was much easier than the Gargoyles. I don't have the DPS to do that yet I think.
I need a Pharaoh stone for the wharf. Used two (bought one, found one). Don't like the creatures that don't like light. Can kill them fast, but they hit like trucks and one hit seems to nearly cause bleeding.
Also, lighting torches while covered in oil, not a good idea. Who knew!?
