About freaking time! Now hopefully those Fog ring and TWoP users can stop being so freaking lame. Two extremely (although completely legal,) tactics.

I don't get where the fun in that is though. The best fights are when two people are on level ground, then skill is what makes the difference, not some cheap spell or ring. Now though they won't be so overpowered.

OH GAWD! I'm so far behind! Please tell me it gets easier after the Undead Burg!

LOL. just kidding...

BigPenguin4564d ago

"Pyromancers in Catacombs drop Skull Lanterns."

This is the worst seriously, I've killed all of them in the level and I haven't got a single lantern which makes going into the Tomb of the Giants impossible.

Buy the cast light spell or get the maggot h4ead from the sister of quazaleth(Spelling) and you wont need that. I never used that lantern for anything but getting the ring

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

Dudeson60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
