I think it's your connection. I have no lag at all. It happens from time to time that I get disconnected, but that's about it.

the two things lags can be caused by:

- your connection

- your enemy's / Friends connection

i had some fights, where i hit someone with the meat cleaver, (he was crushed to the ground by this) but he received no damage.

but on the other side, i had epic fights, where seconds where deciding the battle's result.

(btw., PvP is epic .. more than 50 Phantoms invaded me so far, and only 2 killed me. :D  if i see someone's invading me, i equip Meatcleaver, cast Lightweapon of it, use it with both hands, and then just 2-3 R1 hits.^^)

Finally beat the game for first time. Went for the good ending.

I brought a blue soul with me to fight False King and he killed him with 1 firestorm. O_o

Ok, so I just beat 1-1 in NG+. I did not happen to see the 2 dragons there at all either.

I bear Phalanx and I am pretty sure the world tendency is pure white.

Why isn't the gate to the executioner grounds open?

Arg, I'm on 1-2 and I'm currently getting my ass handed to me by that oversized behemoth called the Tower Knight >_>

Why is magic so broken in this game?! I played through 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 with a completely melee character and have never used magic yet and the game is ridiculouly hard (yet awesome) I spent a bunch of time boasting to my friends about how hard it is and finally got them to come over and try it. My friend starts a new character using the royal class which apparently starts with the soul arrow. He 1 hits every normal enemy, 2 hits blue knights, and even killed the red knight at soul level 1! The first phalanx boss guy went down without a challenge as the arrow goes right through those shield enemies. So far the game has been a cakewalk for him (up to 1-1, 1-2, 3-1) Does it get harder for magic users at any point? or is that just the way of easily beating it?

^ It gets harder. Soul Arrow just makes things easy early on, not to mention the fragrance ring you start with that gives you mana regen.

Stop bumping this thread. It makes me want to spend money and time I don't have.
