Current hopes for Dark Souls II~

1. Dedicated Servers ~ Better co-op and PvP all around.
2. Co-op Invite system ~ Still have level restrictions just be able to invite a friend to join you instantly if you are in lvl range and in the same area.
3. Sniping bows, Great bows, Crossbows, Short Bows ~ Only crossbows and short bows should allow movement and while moving your damage is reduced by 20%
4. High detail OPTIONAL tutorial ~ New players may learn all they need to play and enjoy Dark Souls II
5. YOU are the suns firstborn son! ( Part troll but kool idea i thought )

From details new features in Dark Souls 2
From the looks of it I wouldn't be surprised if your character dies then you die was added in future installments.

late to the party but playing this now hahahaha

got myself a ring of fog despite having to face other players that can OHKO me. thankfully the forest protectors covenant only required three successful invasions, not actual kills. two of the wins were thanks to random players who actually got the kill while i distracted the host. the last one i was lucky to be matched against someone who i can actually deal decent damage to (i hit for around 10 against endgame peeps, this guy took 120 which is near the damage listed in my stat screen). oh and the first win gave me 104k souls, so i jumped from SL28 to around 40.

im playing as a thief btw. current equips:
knight/hallow shield +5
bandit's knife +5 / partizan +5 (when against enemies that can't be backstabbed)
short bow +5
starter thief armor +3 (dunno what to replace it with that isn't too heavy)
ring of fog / wolf ring

stats:
vit 20
str 16 (for drake sword)
end 21
dex 26?
all others at default
