Spurgun wrote:I appreciate all the work you put into this Zigg

Thank you but it's not all me! I have everyone here on the forums helping me with this too, without them I would have almost nothing! But I'm really glad this is helpful to people so thank you for the kind words I'll continue to update this and keep it as spoiler-free as possible.

I'll finally get to play it on PC today, so maybe i can help by contributing.

Great work guys, it really does seem like this is turning into basically a new game. I'm already trying to plan post-DLC console characters and man it is not easy.

I already have a badass plan

Spoiler:

Hyper armor on large weapons?

I can hear the ganks stirring in their slumber already.

I made a quick page for this on the wiki, so anyone can add or change stuff when new details are found.

Funny, everyone's been saying they nerfed BS's but honestly I didn't notice, I was still twoshot backstabbing everything left right and centre with my hornet's lightning spear. Snake men went down pretty damn quick.

Its in another thread look at wyrms post list ornstien.

I know, I edited my post.

Lol, CHSM nerf. That thing was already useless outside of heavy lag, now it'll be even more pointless.

I've added a few new armor and weapon additions to the list as well as adding more info to existing things.

Ooh! Ooh! Could you add the default PC controls, too? I had a freaking hard time finding the menu button after I forgot.

HOME, it's HOME, GOSH DANGIT! Why the heck not ESC? WHY?! *sigh* Anyway, I know it'd help out some people.

I haven't noticed much of a nerf, to be honest. It still does quite heavy damage when it hits. If anything, it feels a lot more stable when I'm invading now than it did on the Xbox. The souls aren't flying off all over the place when there's no enemy in sight now.

I found a site that might be very helpful here

Pfft. But we're a Wiki! We should have this stuff.

I'm jus'sayin'. It woulda helped me, and, trust me, I looked, but it wasn't there. So, just somethin' to add for the release of PC for our Wiki.

Also, thanks... I'll be playing tonight. Darned Windows can't update and so i can't log into Windows Live so I can't save on Dark Souls.

so... this hyper armor I have heard mention of.

at least str weapons have a buff. even if I dont like the buff they have been given.

and jeez 0.o apparently PW no longer scales with your flame in terms of self damage.

are there any details as to exactly which weapons have hyper armor associated with them? and on both R1 and R2 or just R2s?

I put the default layout on the controls page.

It probably needs some notes about which buttons are for gameplay and which are for menu navigation, as well as details on using a mouse. I do not have the game so I leave this to someone else.

What does hyper armor mean?

You don't get staggered during your attack animation even if you had 0 poise.

Not sure how I feel about that.

Really? I'm having nightmares now about online Hulk and Sentinel.

It was only for a few large weapons and heavy attacks in demons souls, but it gave the weapons a bit more 'weight' and inertia.

I don't think the new warpable bonfires were really necessary. It almost seems like it'll feel like playing Skyrim or Fallout where you never have to walk ANYWHERE if you so choose! You can just fast travel everywhere! I think some areas, particularly TotG & Duke's, were MEANT to feel cut off from everywhere else.

HYPER ARMOR????????? OMFG. This DLC is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!
