It's for "talking" with other people online, or at least trying to. Smile
(This version of the game also has a set of carvings you can collect that when used allows a certain pre-defined audio message "Hello" "I'm Sorry" and I think there was two others.)

After reading more in this thread I would like to ask:
It is recommended or useful to kill NPCs ? I did not (until now) since I was unsure if they arent required later in the game or killing them could even break the main quest.
I mean this is not beginner-friendly like Skyrim, where "essential" NPCs cant be killed. The design concept of Dark Souls may even include that you have the freedom to break the main quest without noticing it... Confused

disable ULPS entirely

what's that, and how do I disable it?

@Tydirium
I don't think any NPC is essential to finish the game, but you might miss out on some story or reward if you kill one. Or you might actually prefer the reward from killing him. Choices and consequences! Very Happy Though I think there is a way to bring NPCs back to life for a price.

There's a utility here for disabling it in case you don't want to try altering the registry info yourself. Smile

Yeah I get that. Thought it's related to the increased DOF res from DSfix mod but it's too random. Sometimes the same area runs at 30 fps, sometimes at 15. It's annoying in places like Blighttown where you can easily drop to your death.


It seems to be related to the fullscreen mode somehow. I tested this in New Londo Ruins i can reproduce it there every time, i run down to the water and back up to the entrance of the Valley of Drakes and usually after running back 1 or 2 times it drops to 15 fps down at the water looking to the ruins , but it doesnt happen in window mode and it goes back to 30 fps if i alt tab out and back in. very strange.
Removed the resfix mod and it doesnt seem to happen without it. I tested it on another ati machine and its the same there, so i think i definatly found something here, could someone else here test this and see if its the same? And maybe someone knows how to contact the author i cant create a neogaf account to post it in the thread there because they wont allow german isp email addys.

Those are somewhat replays from other people. You can see them die most of the times. Actually it's so friggin funny. I laughed my ass off when I played the PS3 version about some people's demises. They were ridiculous.

Btw, where did you buy it and for how much?

nice, we should summon each other sometiems Laughing

its much more atmospheric with the legit version, even if jsut for the ghost and msg lols.


i finally defeated the bell gargoyle brothers. those fuckers annoyed me for almost 2 hours.

now im exploring some new area of the undead burg that opened up with a basement key i found who knows where.

kudos to people who beat this game in 25-30 hours. im 22 hours in and i don't think im even half done.

Tested in Blighttown at the first bonfire. 15 fps looking in certain directions in fullscreen, 30 fps in windowed. Very weird. Nothing to do with ULPS as that was turned off already.

You can reach the mod author at his blog most likely,but it seems it's a known issue:

edit: no, that's not it. I just restarted the game to apply v0.5 of the fix and the fps drops are back, even in windowed mode.

Tried changing to see various settings to see what's causing it but i can't figure it out. But it's definitely related to the mod. Even if I set all the options to the default values I still get those drops, but if I delete the mod it's all good.

there are no cheap deaths, even if you find yourself surrounded by a bunch of enemies within a small space with no means to escape - it is your fault for running away and kiting a small army or feeling high on power after defeating the last boss and thinking you can take several of the "small fry" at once.
every bit of impatience is punished.


Ornstein and Smough, that can be VERY cheap at times, their weapons can go through pillars, which is not a nice surprise, facing Super Ornstein with only a lightning spear kinda sucks too
Capra is a bit cheap as he rushes you before you know what's going on, maybe I was underlevelled but I died instantly three times, got caught by the dogs twice while going for the stairs, once Capra got to me before I even got to leave the tight entry way
Also the damn archer in Anor Londo, that shit is nasty

It's not cheap very often but there's times where it's taking the piss

and something funny happens sometimes dont know why; im having 5 potions in the inv, fighting some ghoul and suddendly 1 more potion pops up in the inv and im absorbing some kind of yellow soul
also if you die, do you loose the bombs? i lose them and dont remember that happening on the pirate version Confused
and also the humanity number grows even if i am hollow, does that number grow if you keep killing things for a while if you dont die?

You get a +1 humanity for each vote. You don't get them as items, just on the top left counter, so you'll have to use it before you lose it!

You gain 1 extra point estus flask usage whenever another player kindles a bonfire nearby, that's probably what the aura is.
You're talking about either a humanity +1 increase (which increments every time you kill a certain number of enemies, automatically) or alternately, someone online kindled a bonfire near you. You can tell based on if your Estus Flask gets another swig in it.

from steamforums

edit also found this

Using anything other than '1' for main weapon is too counter intuitive for me, so I had to find a way to bind to the number keys. Here's how:

1. Open up your DarkSouls.ini located at C:\Users\[USENAME]\AppData\Local\NBGI\DarkSouls
2. Find the action you want to rebind
3. replace the number with a corresponding one from the list below

'1' = 49
'2' = 50
'3' = 51
'4' = 52
'5' = 53
'6' = 54
'7' = 55
'8' = 56
'9' = 57
'0' = 48

4. Save

And there you go.
----
For example '1' for main weapon, '2' for secondary, '3' for spells' and '4' for items would be:

[KeyConfigEquip]
ChangeRightWep = 49
ChangeLeftWep = 50
ChangeGoods = 52
ChangeMagic = 51

Oh my god, Ornstein and Smough were the worst fucking pieces of shits that I have encountered in this game so far.
It took me about 20 tries before I finally killed those fucks.

Felt so good after I beat them though.
