I read it, and I have a lot to say about it, but i'm lazy and don't feel like thinking it through and typing it up. With that in mind...

The hell were you using? A Bandit's Knife?

No. No you didn't.

It ain't Dark Souls now if you don't get invaded in the church by someone with a +5 lightning weapon and an Ascended +5 Pyromancy Flame with Great Combustion. Was gonna correlate this to Protostomping if I went and actually elaborated.I still just might later on.

So while the dark souls community wasn't the largest it pretty much consisted of tough minded players. You should have seen the reaction when a talk of an "easy" mode was mentioned as a possibility.
That was a really weak penalty. When that "testing hard mode" came up during the network test I was thinking for a few minutes that there WERE going to be difficulty levels. Then I realized it was probably just a translation or new term for NG+. Still paranoid though.
This game isn't perfect and it is most certainly not a Boletaria, Lordran, or Skyrim. Two of those games had difficulty that could be overcome with the growing skill and knowledge of a player and one made you feel like a god unless you were seriously gimping your character (and/or were trying to do a Destruction Magic character).
Dust is kind of constantly leaning to one side or the other. It's either harder than the Souls (TTK now, protostomping, the fact that you can't always fight enemies on your terms and they have death lead beams that can kill you from range in an instant) or slightly harder than Skyrim (this game will never be as easy as Skyrim).
Can't forget that Lordran was nerfed a few times as well.
Damn Imperials!
Dust 514 belongs to the ARs!
