Did they ever say they were converting this to Steamworks or do you guys think they're depending on people completely abandoning this for DS2 so that they don't have to convert this?

created a new Dex character and am having fun invading at lower levels with my Great Scythe +15...yesterday I received 900,000+ souls after a win...new record for me
I hope you're not level 3...

I wouldn't be surprised if they held back the PC release just to push console sales. Either way I'm still gonna wait for the PC release.
And based on everything ive read about DS2 and the things they've flat out made worse or gotten wrong...
I've been steering clear of any Dark Souls 2 spoilers etc...I haven't even read any reviews of the game yet...but all scores seem to indicate the game is better then or on par with DS1...what have you heard is worse?
Anyone having trouble finding signs last night/today?
I played yesterday morning, signs everywhere, I'm getting summoned left and right, somewhere around afternoon it all just stops. Nothing for the rest of the night. Steam said there was 7k playing at the time, SL27 waiting for the gargolyes and the depths bonfire, and you know its always easy there...
There was a GFWL update yesterday, but that was way before any of this started happening... :-/
Just for shits and giggles I tried to kill the red drake on the bridge a few times. Nothin but chain fire attacks. Once I did get him to stop breathing fire and try to melee me, but that didn't last long. I doubt there is enough fire resist to take his damage, what are you supposed to do?
I have a PS3 and PC. I want to get the PC version, but I want to use one of my DS3/PS3 controllers not keyboard+mouse. Will that work/is it as good as PS3 control from someone who has played it/both ways?

I've beat both PS3 and PC versions and the PS3 controller works just as well on the PC version, though getting it to work wirelessly can sometimes be problematic.. I've used M/KB but greatly prefer using the controller.

I played a lot yesterday with my buddy, we didn't have any trouble with seeing each others signs. Saw lots of others too. I did notice that sometimes the online shit bugs out and my white soapstone was constantly grayed out. Had to quit and reload my character then it was fine.

I almost never pvp using soapstone signs...I always use the Red Eye Orb for invasions...very easy to invade with almost no wait 98% of the time...I wouldn't like waiting around for someone to summon me or to be invaded
I was also wondering what that GFWL update patched...I was hoping it was something to do with DS transitioning over to Steamworks
Me and you both, man. Sadly, we are still on GFWL
It just seemed out of the ordinary. It makes me wonder if your summon sign is actually seen when you have defeated the area boss in YOUR game...... That was the only common thing I can point out during the day. I progressed through the game, summoned players for Quelaag, did not level up, placed my sign at the bonfire in the swamp. Nothing for like 15 minutes, when the night before was just about instant.
I have a few saves from previous boss battles, I'm going to use those to test later. If it's a SL thing or something else.........
I'm not trying to invade with this build. It's my 50-FAI build and I'm a Sunbro. I want to be summoned!
Technically one could play through the entire game as an SL1 to get all the equipment and required materials, then go back to any "low-level" area to PVP. Can't really twink in this game in the traditional sense without save or memory hacking.Is all your armor +15 too?
No wonder i get raped in pvp. Does anyone pvp without twinking? I haven't upgraded any of my armor and my weapon is only at +10. SL 45

And armour only goes to +10. You can upgrade your armour all the way to +10 if you have the materials. No blacksmith upgrades necessary.
I haven't upgraded any armor yet because then I won't be able to tell the difference between items. If I had a helm +1, I'd have to compare it to another helm +1 to really see how they differ.
I've definitely been owned by a low level twink before. I was SL 3 at the time. The dude had to have maxed out weapons and armor because when I did land a hit it barely hurt him, then he proceeded to kill me with one strike.

You'd be surprised how weak you are at SL3.
Eitherway, it depends on what happened in your game. At SL3, If you have sin, someone as high as SL66 can invade you. Forest Hunters can be up to SL14, but Red Eye users will only be SL3.
Then of course, there is the always possible hacker... which I think are rare. After 330+ hrs I've yet to come across one...
Oh, really?? I'll bet i was fighting a really high level dude then. I was bored on this low character waiting for my buddy to beat the tutorial so i killed some NPC's. That would explain WTF that was all about lol
Now i can stop QQing about twinks =P

I'm an advocate of choosing armour that you like the looks of on your character in this game. When it comes down to it, mobility is a better defensive attribute than defense. Generally if you're being hit by bosses, you're either going to die or waste time by leaving yourself open to attack when you have to stop and heal. The same general principle can be applied to PvP as well.I appreciate the purity of your play style. But the full stats an all armors are in the wikis. So you don't have to waste a lot of time and pain by limiting your playing just so you can see some number variances. I mean, if you are that worried about min-maxing, you may as well peek at the stat sheets. Otherwise, Dark Souls is a pretty open experience and you can make effective use of just about any gear. In other words, don't worry about it so much and just have fun with the game!

I took your advice and went ahead and upgraded my armor as much as i could. I mean, I've been wearing these pieces for awhile now, so why not? Titanite should be pretty easy to come by. I now have a +4 Boar's Helm, and +2 Elite Knight's set for the rest. I definitely notice me taking less damage. Also, last night I finally got all the way to the end of the catacombs (i think). I reached the Fog gate at the bottom of the ravine with those rolly-polly skeletons. Unfortunately I used all my flasks and spells on killing the Lightening Demon guarding the Eyes of Death (what are these for exactly? What does luring phantoms mean?) and then the pyromancer group and knight before the rolling skeletons. With only one flask left I was too afraid of going through that fog gate
you may have noticed a broken casket in front of the titanite demon. you may want to try going into it. And waiting for a while. afterwards there is someone.... you can pray to. you need to have eyes of death to have the option
also... there is a hidden bonfire near the bottom of catacombs. you may want to find it before exploring more.
