Think of a good orange soapstone message for Dark Souls 2

I figured this might be a jolly idea. Playing both games and leaving messages from time to time, I wish I could have just magically typed whatever I wanted, so whoever checked it would be dumbfounded when they read "I'm too old for this ****..."

Why not leave an orange soapstone message that you think should be added to the new Dark Souls!

We need an option to ask for help, like a temporary orange sign message. I want to put down.

please lay a sign down, level xx

and then it goes away when the person that left it dies or summons someone. There have been to many situations where iI KNOW people are playing but I'm not at a typical sign area, so I'd like help or even just for PvP fun or battle.

Amazing chest ahead

even got a rating +1 for that message

Near a boss fog gate (preferably one with a big sword):

"GET TO DA CHOPPA!"

I'd actually like a message of the sort "this is not the correct path/way".

That or "Go back! You have to go back (jack)!"

"Your armor selection is ugly"

"Wut Rings U Got *****?"

haha these are awesome. how bout "be wary: legend ahead..nary does he die"

NONE SHALL PASS!

"Disappointment ahead" : )

"Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious"

"Warning, Casul ahead."

"Invading phantoms ahead"

"Common Summoning Spot"

"PvP here"



And a special trap one that does a small amount of damage upon reading that says.

"Caution Trap located right here"

"please reconnect your controller"


"look behind you, a three headed monkey"


i'll stop now. . .im not taking this entirely seriously

I appear to be one of the only people who were taking this seriously.

so youre tentatively, creeping along, shield up. . . noises echo down the bleak hallway. . you see a sign. . .



"STOP!! . . . . .








HAMMER TIME!"


this could in fact be a valid warning for you to pause for a moment, consider your position, then get your hammer out and ready yourself for a battle. . .

see what i did there. . .

right, bedtime i think . . .

  i got negged aswell!!

It won't matter once we change forums..

"You're going to die. Figuratively, Literally, and right on queue."

im really kind of shockd and depressed at the lack of effort. so many people here used to be more fan based, now the population is turning childish. what happened here??

i really hope the message system is the same, but polished. im glad for the healing concept but it was a failed idea in demons it never actually helped me. positive voted messages should have a stat boosting affecting, make it very minor of course, but more like...increased stamina regen, or a defense boost, the random healing is just so chance...meh. ranting sorry.

i want to see more communicative messages. demons souls did it better, in dark souls i hardly even bothered to read them they were barely ever remotely useful. but i fear its a reflection of the type of people the game is now attracting...

no neging! it hurts hearts, breaks up marriages, and ruins lives. ^yea it depends on the nature of the message of course, it cant be walter_whites diabolical "if you step off here.." trick lol. but that would be cool. like if you have over 5 recommends you get an increase in HP for that duration. i dunno, something.

"if your reading this message, you are not dead yet"

Neg voting for no reason is unacceptable. Please refrain from doing it again, it just causes needless animosity

As E said in the other thread, keep on neg repping people and you might not even make it to the new forum. please behave in the more sensible manner that befits a member of our community.

c'mon chaps, there is always gonna be a bit of lightheartedness every now and then, rightly so too, so long as it isnt offensive.

back on topic, I like the stat boost, I agree random health is a bit hit and miss at the moment, but any boost is gonna be hit and miss as you have no control over when your comment gets up-rated, unless you bank the + in some way for later use. . . but then that doesnt seem very soulsy to me.

I kinda like the vagueness of the messages right now, if they were too detailed or explicit it might spoil it. This isnt player driven, but maybe if the odd message was well hidden, contextually placed and contained a cryptic bit of lore, for example just a single line that vaguely linked to solaire or oscars path in DS? nothing obvious, more similar to item descriptions or a characters dialogue but specifically related to an npc's personal journey or story in some way?

Not entirely sure how covenants will work but it would be nice to get a special message you can write when you join one such as: Praise Death or Praise the Moon etc. These messages could also appear where someone is killed in PvP by a member of a certain covenant and if you share that covenant maybe you can upvote it to show devotion while others can use it as a warning that this is your territory.

I like that, covenant flavoured messages, perhaps certain helpful hints only show up if youre a member of that particular covenant? Normal messages exist aswell, but deeper, mechanics based help is tied to the covs?
