Damn, thats gotta be tough. I thought it was hard enough finding playing time with just my wife and 4 month old puppy.

My wife just left for Haiti for a week and 5 days :sadface:

But that means I get some major DS2 time.

The wife is a CPA so she is working long hours right now with taxes coming up so I'm pretty excited about that. Try to get in as much as I can until she gets home.

Ya'll have the right idea though. I need to find a way to get her out of town for awhile.

I got summoned in a few times as a phantom.

helped out with one of the first bosses a few times.

fun fact: you help kill a boss, you regain your humanity. good way to avoid wasting human effigies.

Same here. Trying to do as much as I can without summoning help, but that's not stopping me from dropping my own summon sign to help others. I find it to be a great way to scope out areas, and bosses before putting my own souls and humanity at risk.

Also just want to say that when the servers are working they really work. Each time I would drop my summon sign I would get summoned within 5 minutes. My only complaint is with the excessive loading times.

Yes, you get it back in increments. So say you're at 1/2 HP, if you help beat a boss 4 or 5 times it should be enough to restore you to human.

I think part of that too is its new and a lot of people are playing.

I'd still get summoned in dark souls now and then. I think a lot of people are summoning right now. I gotta tell my wife I'm out tonight

I'm trying to go it alone for as long as I can and not get anything spoiled. This first boss is tempting me to get help though.

I did peek in the spoilers thread and happened to come across an explanation as to why I am a female.

Well maybe I suck then!! Laugh it up.

I can get him down low but all it takes is one hit and I'm done.

I was in the same situation. What weapon are you using? I upgraded my broadsword to +3, applied the magic resin thing, took off a lot of my gear so I could roll farther, and he went down. Like a bitch.

This is big. I downgraded from my knight armor to a brigand set and I am diong fine. I finally found a shield with 100% physical defense and my longsword is at +5 or +6. I am kicking arse.

Do you think that wasting Titanite shards/slabs on weapons early in the game is a good thing?

Are they a finite resource?

I think you can buy them from the smith as an infinite source. They're what, 600 souls per each?
