Yeah, tying anything to the frame rate the game runs at is some newb shit. Especially considering the console versions spend a lot more time at 25 fps (or less) than they do at 30 fps.

I'm using an old whip on my current character, so I'm gonna stay at 30 fps regardless. It's just fucking cruel how quickly that thing breaks at 60fps

I have to use two halbred's to kill the DLC Dragon because of the stupid durability crapola.

Was some weapon damage (ie rapier) massively buffed? I'm using a +5, not exactly high Dex and I kill bosses in like 10 hits...

nvm, damage dropped to nothing on ruin sentinels

Beat the DLC, probably took me 6+ hours (NG+ my first time), and I feel like I am missing a boss. Only did the two back to back at the end.

I think in 500+ invasions, I've been unable to find the host 2-3 times.
I don't know if it's what you're encountering, but I just finished the base game as a sorcerer, and some times I would just roll-man past mobs i know would stop following me after a time, to preserve spells to do a boss.

Make sure you hit pots and shit, chameleon is a bitch sometimes.
It was a NG lost bastille, the player in question hadn't even killed the Pursuer at that point (door was still locked from that side). I broke all the crates and just couldn't find him. The gate leading up to the ruin sentinels was also still closed.

Do mobs revert back to their idle position once you are out of range? For some mobs (tough guys prior to executioner) that wouldn't even be possible I think. The whole zone looked pristine. I ran all the way from sinners rise fog gate to fog gate, and all mobs were up and idle. After 8 or 9 minutes or so, it suddenly said my target had been destroyed and I got a token, so a player was definitely there and I didn't just load into an empty world. I only did around 50 invasions so far in NG but that happened three times already. Just could not find the guy at all. Chamaeleon and the item should be really rare in NGs I think, especially this early.


Later I invaded a guy who had despawned NG FOFG almost completely. No mobs up on the regular paths and no mob corpses either. Some weird worlds you find when you invade...

I had a good laugh yesterday after making a new character and getting to the gargoyles area. I joined their covenant to get a couple chunks so i could get my 2 weapons to +10 quickly.
Anyway, I invade somebody-who is already getting invaded. I see the other invader running up the stairs getting chased by 3 barrels. The guy gets backstabbed and 1 shot, i just started laughing at the sight of some dude dying to a stack of barrels

Then i raped him and collected my chunk~


Also, whats up with them replacing the soul vessel in the mansion with a murakumo?

Only ran into 2 infinite hp people in my time. If you report them via steam/Namco does anything actually ever come of it? I've never bothered.

VaatiVidya released a lore video of the DLC. First good DS2 lore video I have seen.
