Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition. The rant.
13 years ago
So I was playing this marvelous game of marvelation. And I'm a Dark souls Vet. Been playing on Xbox since it originally came out. So I know all the little tricks and grinding spots etc.
So I was playing through this morning. About 70 hours of gametime clocked so far and I already hit 720. How you might ask? simple. Grinding in darkroot gardens. Lots of PVP and so on and so forth (did you know it takes almost 5 million exp to level from 705 to 710? thats per. so 25 million required for that last 5.)
Anyboo aside from that. Basically resistance is what you want if you want to tank everything. Regardless of equipment. So what I did. First thing was buff strength to 20, dex to 18, and resistance to 50 as fast as possible. From there? you hit easy street. Balance everything out at 50 so you can literally use everything in the game no problem. And then you hit completionist street where you're just grinding out exp to fill up the last 49 levels per skill.
So I use very light armor. And very heavy weapons. So my endurance doesn't suffer and recharges fast.
Welp. As I said, I was playing this morning and someone invaded me. That means someone tried to enter my world for the sole purpose of killing me and taking my exp and humanity (I didn't really care for exp as i'm maxed now. But I still have to repair gear.)
So I murder him using a +5 curved blade and a decent shield. No problem. So I continue on my merry way and he tries to invade me AGAIN. So I'm like "okay whatever" I'm in the middle of fighting something called a titanite demon when he finds me. So I roll the hell out of there into a place where I can fight him without worrying about this big ass demon raping me from behind. So it goes back and forth. Each of us goes low hp several times. We use a few divine healing items (full heal) Whoop dee doo. In the end I manage to kill him again.
So I'm about to go to the boss when He messages me saying "Yeah I'd have so called skill too if I hacked like you."
Yeah. That's right. He called me a hacker because I was a higher level. And then had the gall to call me a kid because he couldn't beat me. So I essentially had a "lolnope" moment. Took two screenshots of my gear and stats and posted them on steam
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil.....s/?id=94503473 are my stats
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil.....s/?id=94503559 is my gear.
Now. The only thing there you might see odd is my vast quantity of Divine heals. Welp. Simple enough. I'm on new game ++++. So new game plus 4 where the enemies are 4x stronger than a starter player (it goes to +7) All my gear is leveled up, and I've had time to grind exp to buy and find all the divine heals per run (that's about 20 per run if you know what you're doing) Plus I've done a few trades with players where they give me them as payment. So yeah. all in all completely legit.
I just hate and have to rant when I'm called a Hacker for just being a veteran of a freaking hard game. Hacking takes away all the skill. And know what? I've killed hackers too. Sure you can't kill them conventionally like stabbing or slashing or something. but know what gets them? fall damage. Kick a hacker into a drop that is too far and they die instantly. regardless of infinite health or not.
Oh and in regards to the rings. One increases my poise. So it's like I'm wearing heavier armor so I can take heavier strikes before being knocked off balance. The second increases my critical damage with backstabs and ripostes.
