You gotta get verbose on their a$$es.

I used your verbose. See if I get a $10 off code. So far I'm on the Tyrant plan.

Got my copy of ds over the lunch hour. Now, I need to make it through the rest of the work day, rush home...and take one of the boys to a football scrimmage (while the wife takes one of the other boys to his football practice), then I get to come home and play. Probably around 8:30

Honestly, I have not felt this way about a videoz gamez for a long while. Can't wait to play

Oh, and Matt is going to act like he likes it, but hate the hades out of it AND Ohio State wins by 69.

This!

I read about each of the character classes starting stats over lunch. I'm torn between the Knight and the Sorcerer. The Knight (as is the Cleric) is a member of the White Circle Covenant at the get-go. This draws you closer to other online players, cuts down on invasions, and allows Clerics' casts to resonate across the servers and benefit you.

Decisions, decisions.

You also have to pick your starting gift. I suggest looking at the wiki for those that you'll be able to find easily during the game....

Be careful of some of the starting gifts... in the videos I have watched while trying to make a buying decision, there are several gifts that are one use only deals, like the bomb. Also there is a ring that says it slowly regenerates your HP's over time, but it doesn't. When you look at it in the game (after you have chosen it) the description says it gives you a small boost to your total HP's... not regeneration.

The most popular choice for non-thieves seems to be the master key, which stays with you.

Forest Hunter covenant sounds pretty cool. If you join you are then called upon to F up anyone that walks into the forest. Image trying that a month from now.

Here's a great description of the gifts. It says you get 10 bombs....

Also, the Master Key doesn't open every lock in the game, only those with simple locks...

For you guys that bought it at a brick and mortar store, where did you find it?
Should I stop at Walmart, Game Stop, or Best Buy first?

I bought mine this morning at Target. It wasn't even on the shelves yet. They had to go grab a copy from the back. I believe mat got his copy from Target. Benny got a Collector's Edition from GameStop today with no preorder.

So the covenants...

Do you guys think they kinda push you into the White one first and then as you progress through the game you have opportunity to switch? Or do you think you stay with the same one throughout the game?

Seems like the White is the favored one, if you want to play with online players that is.

Who is going to choose the deprived class? Level 6 and atributes of 11 across the board. Man that class would be sick if you could last long enough to score some armor and blades.

I believe you will be able to switch covenants. Some are going to be very difficult to join and are based on stats, items you have in your inventory, etc. It's going to get complicated.

Thank goodness we'll want to play this game over and over so we'll know what we're doing by the second or third playthrough!

So can you only summon other characters (or be summoned) for the boss fights or can you get help from someone to clear the entire level including the bosses?

Complete levels, if it's anything like DS, but you can only summon within levels you haven't already completed.

Ok, I'm taking off soon. Are we going to just meet in Soul Glow or are we looking to ask Kek to use his Vent server?

They all have it. It's the CE version that's tough to find.

Went searching to see if I can cancel my amazon CE. No luck.

I went by walmart at lunch and they did not have it. I called Kmart which is 1 mile from my house and they got it. Nice.

Soul Glo! Send me an invite if you still have the chat. I'll be on around 7:30 EST.

Do the people/spirits/hollowed stay in your world if you die or do you need to summon them all over again and start the level over?
