From Software The Dark Souls II Megathread™

That is what I get from taking pity on you retarded little self gaudaost, but don't worry I am quite sure all your fans know and love you faggotism; praetor explained it to you and you even brofisted and how you are getting confused with who explained it to you?
You must be one of them incest from catholic priests fucking the retards on asylums and shit

 

Chill the fuck out man

 

Poor gaudaost. If you're taking the Codex this seriously you might wanna go outside or something.

 

Hahaha you are right DragoFireheart brofist for you (or whatever DU want us to throw arround now; maybe fairy dust and rainbows are really his scene?)

 

Why haven't From put flails in DaS2?

 

is it really that hard to read?

(kanedias' explanation for reference: "The speed of healing depends on what kind of phantom you are, for example a red sign invader can heal faster than a normal invader.")

anyway, on topic, they posted a bunch of new screens on their FB page (i skipped the crappy char creation screens):

the level up screens are probably the most interesting. i am also glad they changed back to the old DaS1 lightning spear animation. and some of the starting armours look pretty ridiculous or just crappy (the explorer seems the most codexian with the monocle...)

 

praetor

Not only is the explorer using a short sword (MUCH better starting weapon than a dagger), he has a shield. IIRC, from said 2 classes start with a shield. In the last image that is.

[Insert ramblings about Explorer being the new Royalty via fitting theme of Dark Souls 2 blah blah blah]

EDIT: Or is that the warrior? if it is the armor looks like ass. Can't be the warrior since I saw images of the hard leather armor.

Bottomless box built into bonfire.

 

it's the warrior

explorer is the monocled one

yup, with high enough sin you can supposedly get to 10% HP

edit: there's also supposedly a new status effect: Petrification (which will probably be the new curse since the latter got nerfed)

 

Dagger starting weapon. Lame. That bird is pretty cool though...

lol 10% HP.

 

yeah, and that "giant seed of whateverness" consumable makes mobs hostile to the invader... in before gouda makes up something other lame ass reason for why he's a coward "b-b-but phantoms are red, that's clearly an indication they're OP! how can i fight fairly with someone who is coloured like blood?!"

 

Does it really?

That's going to make for some fun trolling. Hire a couple blues, use the seed , wait for invader getting swarmed by monsters. LOL! I'm assuming the seed is a one time use.

But tell me more about the bird and the monocle. Maybe... could it be...?

yup, and judging by comments from some other journos that played on some events, it should be available to purchase at merchants relatively early

 

BUT THE BIRD AND THE MONOCLE!?

 

YES! FINALLY A TRUE CODEXIAN GAME!

What the fuck? This is some kind of prosper weapon?

I would pick the Transgressor's set if I were going to pick one.

 

They look like crap. I hope they didn't go over the top with the estetics of items in general.

 

cant decide between priest and knight on my first run comfy shawl or badass red tunic

 

Might just be these few.

The cost of getting early access items means you get items that look like shit, be it a spider that decided your mace would make the perfect place to lay her egg sack or some asshole decided to spray insulation foam all over your sword and shield.

I'm going to start with Explorer because DAT BIRD and the monocle and the other classes look like the same as before.

Although, doing a blind Deprived run would be fun...

 

I have a feeling that Iron keep is going to be DS2's Sen's fortress.

By the way the design of the weapons are completely in line with weapon design in DS, I think they look fine.

 

Scraping Spear?

 

maybe something like the tar pit at the bottom of the fortress

 

Gonna play Deprived on my first playthrough. Gonna be fun rolling around like a madman desperately trying to find a useable weapon unless they buffed unarmed attacks. If unarmed attacks are buffed I will punch everyone to death.

The class stats are balanced this time around (as far as the deprived, knight, priest and swordsman are concerned), so everyone will max out all their stats at the same level. So that made my choice in picking the crappiest class even easier since the deprived had pretty good stats in DaS.
