just delete the update from your HDD and do it offline, not that i have used it i like the pleasure of grinding away for my levels.

what is the soul glitch..??...
this game is amazing, i'm 45 hours in... i love it...

They also added shadows, which is nice of them. I find the best non-cheating way to grind is to be a blue phantom and 2-2, 1-3, and 1-4 are popular levels to be summoned. I'm currently a level 120ish templar knight, named JK, and playing on NG+.

We should have a VGChartz Demon's Souls PvP Contest in the near future

How about tentatively set our Soul lvl at max of 150?

Is the range of summoned players' soul level set at +/- 20 compared to the summoner?

it's still a mystery.....

i know when your soul level hit 100, the gap is wider than +/- 10

but the gap varies based on your soul level, it's definitely not a fix number

i played with a friend the other day, his level was 135 and mine was 120, he couldn't see my blue stone until i bumped my level up

You best wait until I have my ps3 back!

And what's this about adding shadows? Did the patch also heavily optimize their code? The game could barely run as it were.

From Software made some changes through the 1.03 update.
They think this patch will balance the gameplay better, but from what I heard, it may created more imbalance in the future...
We will see.

I also heard patch 1.03 made the game easier, NG+ is no longer hard like hell anymore. A lot of "Asian gamers" believe that this patch is the sign of it's being ready for the western release. If you know what I mean (why Monster Hunter game is not popular in the west).....

@wenlan: Hey man, I'm back in town. Just went to Florida for some deep sea fishing but I'm back now. Anyway, I didn't know if you'd be up for some co-op soon. I'm about to be on new game +++. All I have left are the maneaters and the old monk. Hit me up on psn or here and let me know if you wanna get together.

edited my post above :)
