Just beat the fist boss and getting into the next area. Currently have 49 deaths to my name, doing a dext build. Don't know if i should stick to a shield or go duel wield, i don't get what the duel wield stance does other then some boost of damage. The damage boost isn't as high as when using a strength weapon and it takes some stamina for such small weapons.
I find the game way harder then DS, every time i get to 50 i have to farm 1.5 souls to get back to human which is annoying. Also i am disappointed how the game lacks freedom. Devs said you could go in any direction but right now that it is not possible. I wish it opens up later on.
PS: i am playing the European version, anyone else having problems connecting to the server?
