ok just got home from school, going on SS. is any one else playing online??

Jack is no problem, Harpy was so hard but we nearly got her twice. the issues being two of us were over level 10 in at least one area and then we had an 8 and a 6 and we just couldn't keep them alive. I love the flying axes. Also it;s too hard to be a support healer in this game because without voicechat it's too hard to coordinate with only the whistle. Still tonnes of fun though. Whether or not i eventually buy the game depends on if I can reliably play with you guys though. I think I'd get frustrated just playing with randoms all the time. I love my Ai partner though he's a boss and we can both happily long range it up.

Harpy isnt hard, ive had to take it down multiple times on my own coz retards die and Sacrifice early. Cerberus on the other hand is a bitch, you need a full max lv party and some luck and skill

lol thanks ;)

The single player is a LOT easier than Multiplayer for good reason. Its not exactly easy, but the right amount of challenge. It actually has a bit in common with Demon's Souls where it is not hard if you take some time to learn obvious patterns. You do want to make sure you go in well equiped for a fight, as it will make your world alot easier. If you are going to fight a flaming Jack O Lantern, you should probably bring Ice Attacks. This works extra to your benefit as you will get the Frozen bonus thingy which litterally freezes him for a few secs so you can go in for maximum damage.

A point where playstyle will vary is your HP/Damage dynamic. If you "Save" souls you add towards your HP/Defense stat. If you Sacrifice them, you add towards your Damage stats. If you are all one or the other, your experience changes dramatically. Me personally? I always go for the Paladin/Red Mage type build so I am lvl9 Life/lvl7 Magic. I can take more hits than the avg person so I will probably be forced to play gopher most often, drawing the enemies attention.

A really cool concept is the environment, which you can alchemically bend to your will. For instance, you can find a tree that if you drain will replenish all your powers for more frequent use. Or you will find a large bolder that you can transmute into some Deidric looking armor haha.

im trying to go 19 & 1 for the demo lvs, right now im 14&4. i know its stupid but it will get more evenish when the game releases, its just coz theres nothing else to do. and i have to agree its hard to play a support role unless you all are talking

Just took down harpy, took 22mins 3/4 survived

btw does anyone know if you boost a spell does it boost it permanently or just till its ran out? say if you get another of the same spell will it be boosted or back to normal?

boosting a spell is combining 2 of the same, say 2 heals to make 1 heal with a star above it (which is a higher level) then if u do this twice you will have 2 heal spells with a star, combine them and u get 1 with 2 stars (higher level) this goes on for awhile but the demo limits u to having 3star level items

btw i took down a Harpy in 31mins after my wole team died and Sacrificed early

let's hope the Demo increases preorders for SS!
3 weeks left 4,298 this week 25,945 total.
with this rate it will do like 60k in NA FW. could be better. i want to see a combined opening of at least 120k in NA and EU. anything more than that would be a huge success.

Anyone up for some SS in EU, i presume US is still sleeping?? im sick of playing with randoms, especially those that just want to be sacrificed and let you do the work.

maybe we should set up a thread for SS or just on this 1 have some scheduled online sessions together.

THIS GAME HAS TAKEN OVER MY LIFE
