The HP bar is quite high up, you might've been doing damage but the HP bar was out of the screen, tilt up or step back and you'll see it as it takes damage.I tried to get behind it yesterday and did but I wasn't doing any damage. Was odd.

I actually got 3 (!) while running through the area a few times (waiting to get summoned), but since I was on a STR character I just dropped them for the hosts that summoned me. I thought maybe they increased the droprate, or maybe I just got lucky.The first time I played Dark Souls, I grinded for hours to get a BSS. This time, I am running a Zweihander build (side note: it's fucking amazing), and I got a Balder Side Sword from the first knight I killed in the Parish :(
Depends on what kind of build you are going for. Generally I'd say: DEX build = uchi, STR = Clay/Zwei. All are good though, and it basically just boils down to what you like and which moveset you prefer.I just do not know what sword to go with. I'm still early (beat the gargoyles) and I have the Drake Sword. I know it doesnt scale and won't be something I'll be using much longer. I have the Uchi, Claymore and Zweihander. Which of those three would be best to upgrade and keep with for a while. Or I guess even 2/3 to upgrade? I know the Claymore and Zweihander moveset are generally the same and the Uchi is a bit different...
I just took a humanity to get back to human form, but there are no summon signs anywhere before or around the Four Kings boss door. Why?

People usually place their summon sign for 4 Kings at the start of the area where Rickert and the non-aggro'd hollows are chillin'.I just took a humanity to get back to human form, but there are no summon signs anywhere before or around the Four Kings boss door. Why?
The fact that you can preceed through almost the entirety of Sens Fortress without getting to bon fire is straight up fucking bull shit.
Fromsoft can get fucked.
Even hiding that bonfire at the top is just unnecessarily cruel.
Go away LightIs Claymore the best Quality weapon? Any other recommendations?
Sens Fortress complaint:
The ball mechanism seems to follow you around the level, but there's no "operator" there. I've always felt like there should be someone there aiming the mechanism as you go up the initial ramp, and then down the staircase, etc. Even when you turn the mechanism out of the way, it resets to follow you at some point.
What, am I supposed to believe it's some kind of magical, sentient machine??
Use Havel's instead. Steel Protection is trash, there are pretty much always better rings.How much does the Steel of Protection boost your defence anyway? Should I rather go with the ring that doubles my equipment load?
Good. I'm glad From is at least trying to stymie dickwraithing.Aw man, I am doing my lvl1 run and was hoping to do some light dickwraithing in the undead burg but apparently invading is now related to weapon upgrades as well as soul-level.

https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls/comments/8mqxdd/weapon_upgrade_level_chart_for_pvp_matchmaking/
Special weapons (any weapon that doesn't upgrade with regular titantes) starts as a +5 regular weapon level, and get 2 levels per upgrade.
Lol so when I picked up freaking lightning spear my lvl went to +10? Goddamn, I made sure to only have +5. That's fucking stupid.
A really really stupid meme. Ignore it.
I think the weapon level matchmaking thing is a non-issue, to be honest. In fact... I think it's totally fine?
- You can easily coop with friends using passwords, so no fear of your friend(s) being out of reach.
- It works more or less like in Dark Souls 3, and that wasn't really a big problem.
- It prevents extreme twinking like in the original Dark Souls, and that's a really good thing.
- Most people will pick up a black knight weapon drop, the drake sword, the Astora sword, or some other variant that will put them at WL5 anyway, so early players who do pick up those weapons aren't insanely out of reach just for possessing it; I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of players are among that WL 5 pool anyway.
Personal experience:
- I personally picked up the Black Knight Halberd drop right away, and had no problem invading. I didn't invade in the Parish much (honestly felt too OP, most players could hardly hit back with their +0 weapon), but still found matches, and even at +4 I found non-stop matches in the Depths and Blighttown, and at +5 (so that'd be WL 15 ) and level 50, I find non-stop hosts to invade in Blighttown, Sen's, Anor Londo, Demon Ruins, and Catacombs. Even the relatively early-ish Blighttown still gives me plenty of matches, because most people have the large ember by then.
- By Sen's, near everyone will pick up the Lightning Spear, putting them in the WL10 pool.
- I still see tons and tons of white and golden signs near bonfires and by boss doors.
- I also get invaded semi-regularly, especially by Smurf cops xD Weirdly, it can take some time for my white signs to get picked up, but I think that's just because there are so many signs.
I do think it's dumb that even owning such a weapon limits your matchmaking. If it's stashed in your bottomless box it shouldn't count towards matchmaking. But it's not a big deal overall.
Currently level 40 or so, just finished Qualaag.
Zwei +5
Elite Knight Armor
Grass Crest Shield
Havels and FAP
Never felt so OP at this point in the game.
What's a good spot for PvP right now? And what's the PvP meta for DS1 anyhow?
Got bowled over more times than I care to admit because of this.Sens Fortress complaint:
