Introduce Yourself!

Welcome there Som! As I can see you are very interested in Co-Op, perhaps you should check out the Noble Knights. It's a group of people that like to dress as Knights and assist people in every area of the game. They might have some tips and tricks for you and even a few ways to help deal with invaders.

Again, Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Hello forum! Long time Souls fan here. Been lurking the site for awhile and finally decided to sign up. I play both on Xbox and PC. Here is my youtube channel if anyone is interested.

Well met, el pincero.

Fret not, Tolvo'll give you a proper welcome in short order.

Hello there and Welcome, I did take a look and I can see you have some fairly simple videos. The quality seems fine, though I think maybe you could spice things up a bit more. If you're interested there is a thread in general discussion where someone asked what people would like to see on a Dark Souls Youtube Channel. It might give you some pretty helpful insight you can use.

Welcome again, I hope you enjoy your stay.

thanks tolvo. on the note of the knights though, i probably won't do that. i prefer to be a stand-alone dude, as well as being involved in so many other clans /guilds/whatever in other games, that i don't need one more stacked onto it. anywho, thanks for the welcome guys!

Hello all!

After browsing the forums for the better part of two weeks, I finally decided to jump in the pool. I'm still halfway through my first run, yet the information I've found on the forum has helped a lot during the rougher patches.

Case in point: PvP etiquette.

Welcome Rico! I'm sure you'll like it here and we're glad to have you.
Tolvo'll be here any second.

Thanks for the welcome! Hopefully he has more pressing things to do than babysit a newbie thread day and night.

Nope I do not!

Welcome there, can I call you Merico?

I hope you enjoy your stay, as well if you are curious about PvP etiquette I can bring you up to speed on it via PM. Before anyone says, "Tolvo will just give his ideas!" I mean, sending him a PM with common views from every side, and what people generally like and dislike. So no worries, I'm not putting forth a bias agenda.

YET!

If you'd like. Truth be told I did google "Merico" to be sure it wasn't some obscure reference to something unfavorable. Turns out it's a creole language spoken by the Americo-Liberians.

I can live with that.

And sure, send me what you've got. From what I've seen here so far, it looks like there are many different views on the subject. I haven't done too much PvP, but I'm starting to establish my own set of rules.

Is there any way short of messaging your invader to let them know where you are? Often times I just want to get back to dungeon crawling, so I'll hang out within reasonable distance to a bonfire (in case I get stomped out quickly) until he/she finds me.

Just thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm an OG Demon's Souls player (picked up in 09', beat 2 years later. haha) and finally finished Dark Souls about a month ago. I thought it was a good time to join here since I can't spoil anything for myself now.

It took me 120 hours to finish the game with my 2nd toon..25 on first toon to learn basic mechanics. That was with NO help from phantoms or using the guide. The only things I looked up were how to use Boss Souls and how to join certain covenants. Talk about one of the funnest, most nerve wrecking gaming experiences of my life. Some of the things I went through were simply amazing. Like going down instead of up in the beginning. HAHA. Taking the Master Key as my starting gift. Bad idea! I was actually in the Catacombs with the Force miracle knocking skeletons of ledges for at least 20 hours. And making suicide runs through New Londo Ruins because I didn't know how to kill ghosts. I actually thought Transient Curses let you "Hurt" the ghosts of other players you randomly see at bonfires and throughout your world. I figured...ahhh...It's supposed to be this hard. I played the whole game back-asswards, not knowing what I was doing and was lost 75% of the time but I loved every moment. Who said we need an easy mode again? haha. Easy mode is using co-op and the guide. Without them it is by far the greatest gaming accomplishment you will EVER have.

Sorry for that wall of text. It sucks not having anyone to talk to about this AWESOME game! I need to get that out.

Demon's Souls was still better IMO. Just something about playing that game for the first time. After growing up loving the Blue Bomber this was like a return to my roots. Seeing the Tower Knight for the first time and being like, holy ****! I have to fight that! or Maneater. Need I say more.... I didn't really get that feeling execpt for Gwyn. That bastard....what a way to end the game though. Far better than Maiden Astraea

Look me up on PSN if you're looking for a friend. ID is - Shroomerz420. I've since started a second play through as a pure mage and mainly doing Co-op with the Warriors of Sunlight.

Hi all. Been playing Dark Souls for about 2 months now, on and off, play time is now about 40+ hours. Love it, not nearly as hard as many people I know have made out :p finally made it to Anor londo and having fun killing those big iron guards for easy 1500 souls

Hi everyone !

Advenas1 to serve you well. 25, nurse, french, plenty of free time, so I pass my days on games and making videos for some months. I just began days ago the great Dark Souls adventure thanks to the Prepare to Die Edition. I always wanted to play that game, and finally, my dream comes true !

I recorded myself while beginning with a new character. I'm, of course, not good at this game right now, but I just love it and it can be amusing to watch a pure newbie wandering in Dark Souls world.

However, I don't come just for sharing my youtube channel. I was searching for a community for the game as I am a pure newbie and have many difficulties. But hey, a game with a FAIR difficulty, it's so uncommon these days !

Not really good to introduce myself, so I'll stop here. Have a good day guys !

PS : And here is my youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/advenas1
Don't hesitate to comment, even if they are not positive, I need advices to have more enjoyable videos !

EDIT : Oh, and I was thinking about create a thread for my let's play on Dark Souls, but I don't want to annoy anyone, what do you think ?

'Ello there! I've been seeing this forum on several occansions while looking around the internet for stuff about Dks and well, i just felt like ''wth? why not join?''. And so here i am..

I'm a 17 year old guy from Sweden studying photo and journalism atm and i love music more than life itself! I'm a big fan of Dks and i'm always up for some ''Jolly co-op''.

Greetings my fellow choosen undead,

Sir Hanimir has come from the distant land of germany to aid you in your quest to become the dark lord once more... or just to have some fun smashing the faces of some hollow scoundrels, I sure love smashing faces.

It's been a while since I finished my first playthough and now I finally decided to resume on New Game+, haven't had much experience with PVP yet but I'm starting to get in some fights now and then allthough I still suck at battle with other players. I also wouldn't mind a bit of Jolly Cooperation if any of you ladies and gentleman would be inclined to participate in such activities.

Well there's nothing more to say, for now at least or maybe it's just that I can't think of any more than this. English is not my native language but I guess I'm doing pretty good, though I'm bound to make some gramatical mistakes sooner or later, so bear with me.

So the only thing left for me to say is that I hope that we have a great time together with one of the greatest games of all time.

Also ponies.

Hello, I am known as The Letter X. I'll normally pick this name for anything relating to Xbox Live due to it also being my Gamertag. I've only played Dark Souls for about 5 months, but I am terribly addicted to it far more than any other game I've ever played.

My hopes and dreams are to become semi-famous for PVP in Dark Souls be it directly through XBL, on Youtube, or even on this forum.

Welcome, one and all.

Whether your aim be idle banter, or whether you seek to improve your PvP game, or whether you seek fame and fortune you will find it here.

This Forum is a bonfire, thank you for kindling it. Plagiarism aside, I do think there is truth in that statement.

Woudln't kindling the bonfire that is this forum require me to offer my humanity? Strangely enough I'm considering it knowing it could turn me hollow. Though that is not what I came here for sir Jack of the Apple

*Spits milk all over his computer*

Gone for one day and we see an onslaught of new members!

Welcome everybody, whether it be PvP, Co-Op, or for posting valid or ridiculous ideas about the lore, I hope you enjoy your stay.

indeed tolvo, i was gone a couple days and all of a sudden a whole list of new challengers is awaiting me! all jokes aside though, welcome one and all. also, mister/misses(i dunno)hanimir, very nice profile picture!

Why thank you mister soma, though I still wonder how I could get a thing that is as big as the whole universe itself on a single Avatar (yeah, it's anime logic) but your sword wielding grey wofl is quite nice too

Hello there, my nicknames are NextGen FooL and maybe mroe used KeyJay, in real my name's John, right now I'm 18. I come from the Czech Republic (central Europe). I'm quite new to Dark Souls but otherwise I'm a big RPG player. I have grown up on Diablo 1 (I was playin' it since my 6 years), then Hellfire (expansion) and finally Diablo 2 came and then I crushed many RPGs like Gothic (1, 2, 3), The Witcher (1, 2), Dragon Age (1, 2), Legend: Hand of God, The Elder Scrolls (Oblivion, Skyrim) and Diablo 3. Otherwise I'm music composer, I've done some theatre music (mainly chamber - small orchestra - pieces), though I'm making on a full orchestra project or I also do electronical and modern music for videos, slideshows etc. I'm playin' in various bands (wherever I'm needed). Instruments: electric and acoustic guitar, bass guitar, bass trombone, tenor flute, piano.. Okay just one mroe thing - I love Andrzej Sapkowski's books of The Witcher. Alright, that's me.

Welcome, John. You sound like one impressive individual.

Oh really? Thank you for that. I hope I won't dissapoint you.

Online name is Kiljax. I've had it since my brother and I came up with it when Warcraft came out (The original). My real name is Jim. I'm 28 at the moment and while I like to think of myself as a nice guy, I love PvP and competition.

I love to have fun. Winning isn't everything with me and I seem to have this tendency to make a slew of alts just based on looks to see if I can have fun (Like my terrible fencer on PS3. It looked cool, but in the long run, it wasn't that fun).

On the PC I am currently running two builds, one I like to call 'Doom Jogger' and the other is nicknamed 'Chop Chop', or Vulfgang the Viking.

In the real world I am a computer technician. If you see me online, don't hesitate to send me a message. I'm generally friendly and love to have some friendly competition.
