Codes were given out on a first come first serve basis. Meaning the first 60k (IIRC) to download a client with that code have access to the beta.
@sonicabid your googlefu is weak young grasshopper!
Just downloaded it and can’t login to the game server fuckin Namco!
You can’t login because the test was sunday only at 2am-5am est.

I know, but I figured it was worth a shot, I should have stayed up that day like Exodus.
I actually passed out like half an hour into it because I was at a programming competition all day and like a good programmer I stayed up drinking until 1 the night before… I was exhausted by 3 AM is my point lol. I shoulda planned better and took a nap but, oops.
I didn’t even bother Googling beta info. Hilarious you took the time to setup the beta and everything but then when you finally got it going, the beta ended anyway.
Race condition betas aren’t worth my time.
I rather an RNG determine whether or not I get a key after I am put on a list.
At least it’s honest about hating me.
So who is participating in SoulsGiving?
Come on go whip out your copies of demons souls people.
I did I killed three people in latria twice as the boss and killed one in stonefang, last but not least one in the swamp all and all not too shabby. One guy kinda felt bad cause he didn’t know what he was doing but oh well, the life of a black phantom is one steeped in trolling and cheap kills, such is the way.
I’m having connectivity issues with DaS, I might have the friendslist patch still installed but honestly I’m not sure…
Summoning works maybe 5% of the time and I get invaders maybe 1 every 3 hours.
Really wonder if they are going to be able to stop hackers in dark souls 2. Dark souls is becoming nothing but hackers lately. I mean theres really no point in pvping anymore in dark souls, just look at the book of the guilty, and see people at soul lvl 100 with max stats and infinite spells. And people who use infinite life.
Dude you need to find some steam groups, PvP isn’t just random invasions and forest ganking.
Find a group of people (4chan/reddit/neogaf) who have fight clubs (basically endless lobby) and play with them.
This is the TRUE pvp of dark souls, in the wild there’s too much random, (cheaters, scrubs, noobs, some good people) but in a fight club?
1v1 honour duels with no healing, just legit builds played by people who know all the roll punishes, the timing differences between wood grain, fast roll and med roll AND tons of parry windows.
Seriously, playing nothing but randoms is mind melting.
Also they just need punkbuster (even though punkbuster is shit) to stop cheat engine from working. Or maybe VAC could be incorporated since it’s going to run on steamworks.
Stay away from xbox and pc pvp unless its with people you know. Both of them tend to be hacker city.
people are hacking a lot on PS3 now. Theres even a new megamule out for PS3 gives your characters like max stats. And theres infinite health pack on ps3 also
At least consoles don’t have the curse-swords that are on pc (unless they have them)
PvP definitely needs a ton of improvement. The whole covenant idea is awesome, but it’s rendered meaningless if hackers can run rampant. PvP-ing against only people you know kinda defeats the purpose of Dark Souls PvP.
It depends what you want out of darksouls, if you want the jank random invasions which usually is just “this guy wants to ruin your fun” then feel like you’re missing out.
The pvp shines when there are people treating it almost like a fighting game, they want to learn the punishes, they want to learn interesting timings and get better. The system itself isn’t broken, the community is shattered where the random morons somehow have fun killing people with their hacked stats.
Godmode isn’t fun, trolling someone in darksouls loses all meaning when you have maxstats, infinite health, or a glitched sword.
Of course there’s wiggle room for personal opinions but I don’t believe random invasions are the true purpose of darksouls PvP, sure it’s the INTENTION of the game developers, but combos weren’t intended and they became the staple of fighting games.
I feel that darksouls is similar, fight clubs aren’t intentional, but I feel it’s the pinnacle of darksouls pvp.
Megamule is for ps3, you have to download it on PC, then upload your save file on a USB drive then put it on PS3, with a character like SL 125, and give him stats on 99 everything. And the funny thing is too, people think they are good when they use this shit
Invading infinite health scrubs in Sens Fortress is still gold.
I could watch them turn on their cheats and proceed to fuck up the last guillotine bridge alllllllllllllllllllllllllll day.
well after playing in the forest for a while found out how to kill hackers, lead them down the ladder next to the hydra, and just spam wrath of gods and nock them off.
