Ok, looks like I'm in the bullet hell boss now. Feels quite frustrating even when helping others

I'm sad that I missed first Patches encounter. However, reading the description of the black leather set is funny considering who uses the set in DkS3 

I reached Pontiff and been cooping with people to learn his patterns. I suppose the first phase would be easy enough to solo but second one would probably still mess me up badly.

I haven't had problems with combos yet (just arrived to Irithyll) but I have to agree with group fights. I just couldn't enjoy Wolnir or deacons enough to try to actually solo them. Then again, they were good fun with coop so I guess it's okay 

I don't remember having problem with him but I think that bosses with swarms like that and Deacons can be annoying or hard for some builds/people. I don't particularly enjoy those bosses so the quicker they are over the better.

Progressing slowly. Been helping people quite a lot with areas and bosses. Level design truly shines in this game. However, I think some of the early bosses are not that interesting design wise. Mainly Crystal Sage,Deacons of the Deep and maybe the tree boss. Watchers was fun to co-op though!

So far I think this game's bosses are harder for me than previous games. Maybe it is the sped up combat? Then again actual levels don't really seem more diffcult than in the past so far.
Anyway it looks like this playthrough for me will be cooping for most bosses. Probably will try soloing more in next round.

Ah, missed the Yoel opportunity. Once I decided I could use his services, he is dead 

Beat him earlier by using ember and pine resin for melee fight. It was a close call though since he was so fast.

I think that I cleared Undead Settlement? Is there any other exits than the ice knight thing in the tower basement? Didn't beat him yet :s Maybe tomorrow I'll try to apply some fire damage to my katana.

i fought him the normal way (just learn to dodge his attacks basically), but a friend told me that u can cheese him using the elevator. apparently if you flee via the elevator he will sometimes fall down the hole trying to follow you.

ANYWAY, i think i may have to revise my opinion on the level design in this game. it might be even better than bloodborne, which already set the bar very high. damn.

Yeah, on my second try it seemed that evading his attacks is not too difficult but I lost because I couldn't hit him hard enough and eventually messed up when frostbite hit in. I think today I'm going to try to add the fire damage to see if I can get more damage in faster.

I beat Vordt yesterday with help of phantoms. I think that the fastness of the boss combined with my shoddy FPS was biggest problem for me to time rolling properly. This excuse will disappear today when I get my gpu though 

The Undead Settlement really overwhelmed me with its design. So much routes to choose from rooftops to house interiors. I pretty much got lost and found bonfire and later some familiar faces. Not sure how to reach them again though haha

Haha I still suck at this game, Vordt is giving me a hard time in his second form :s
Maybe I should try other weapon than katana, hmm...

Haha, it is fun to play online now that it works well. Been practicing my fighting while helping people out in high wall. Nice source of souls to level up too. Still haven't beat the boss in the area.

Haha, got Uchigatana :D Katana master fell from cliff when I escaped him. A real battle.

Looks like arrows are now limited to 99 per slot How I'm supposed to cheese tough enemies now???

Gtx 980 pre-overclocked thing from evga. from what i've heard getting a 970 is a better idea than a 960 btw. apparently it's better value for money.

Probably. Then again price difference between those cards are here 199e to 350e so I ordered 960  
I wish delivery will be swift!  

EDIT: Found a post about how to improve FPS. That with combined to low settings and 720p lets me play mostly ok for now until my new gpu arrives. Or at least the high wall seemed mostly ok.

Seems like I'm worse in this game though at least partly because of performance issues Considering restarting with strength character rather than dexterity to get a bit more damage at the beginning :s

According to subreddit I'm not only one with poor FPS since people with better cards than mine report low fps :s What is your GPU btw?

I knew that my 560Ti was so so enough. Considering buying gtx960 now after waiting tomorrow in case a bug fix will help.

Haha, looks like I'll need a new GPU :/ Game is kinda laggy even on 720p low settings

You mean 4 minutes???

Haha, time really crawls even though I should work on my uni assignments  Can't wait to find out that I still need a new GPU 

It's supposed to unlock at 1AM for me. I hope they make it a little earlier, as often happens with euro region games.

Same time zone. I probably can't resist trying it at night to see how well it runs even if it will probably screw my next day
I'm worried that my GPU will not cut it so in worst case I have time tomorrow to go and grab a new one.

Maneaters in DeS is bullshit. Or rather annoying they just keep flying around the stage while doing really nothing most of the time while I'm unable to hurt them. Almost killed them until last one pushed me over the ledge in last second 

The fight takes really long even if I cheese first one through fog door with bow
