New Forums Are Open

Old forums will remain online and you may post (but not create new threads) until Monday, May 24th at 5:00PM EDT. After the old forums will be set to archive mode and you can no longer post.

Well, I have been working on this for quite a while now, and between real life and work it did not progress as fast as I had hoped.

As many of you are aware the forums here on Wikidot leave a lot to be … desired. Wikidot will be the first one to tell you that they are not designed, nor intended, to host forums. So, I have opened a new location where we can have a fully featured (and for most of you familiar) messaging board. Registration is quick and painless.

The moderators of the forums and I have been testing things out and tweaking issues that we find. However, we are sure there will be some things we have missed. Please let us know of any issues you encounter, and we will address them as soon as possible.

Make sure you read the rules from the start, because you will be held accountable for your actions. Ignorance is no excuse. The rules are posted at the top of every single forum.

Thanks, and enjoy.

Pissed off vendor: Re: Pissed off vendor

Yeah all I'm getting outta that is don't mess with the power of the PS3 and don't shut it off or yank the power cord during saving game or events and what not and your system should run like a charm. And agreed, if it says "don't turn off or disconnect power while saving" as a warning, don't do it or you will find out the hard way of why you shouldn't.

I don't believe that it has any affect on the actual memory at all. You are not interupting power to the console in any way. It may however affect your game save. Always keep a backup :) Flash drive or some external storage Is always a good Idea regardless( you never know whan your HD will crap out). I once bought a 160Gb "Sony" brand HD to upsize my PS3. Stupid thing was pooched after about 3 weeks so I put the original back in. Three years running strong LOL

I would definetly NEVER recommend in any way shape or form interupting power to the console EVER. There are electronic devices which store electrical charge, such as capacitors and inductors, when power is removed while the machine is operating these devices produce a "surge" effect which will often destroy other components. Electronic devices are extremely sensitive, Even a small static discharge from people handling them can destroy components. There are 2 major enemies to electronics, over voltage, and heat. Disconnecting power also will often corrupt save files and cannot be recovered. Take it from an electrician, don't ever mess with the power source. The multiple warnings on every game are there for a reason.

I wouldn't try that, if you do that a bit much or even just once, it can compromise the PS3 memory and ruin it.

Yep, You will have to complete your current playthrough and reach "HIM" again in 2-1. It is unfortunate as it has happened to me before aswell. A tip for the future: If any NPC's ever go argo on you, hold the ps button and quit game. If your quick enough you can aviod the game saving after they turn aggressive. Other than that best of luck to you :(

I accidently hit the 2-1 vendor and she is pissed off at me now. I need to buy some shards from her. Is there any way to calm her down so she will stop attacking me and sell to me?

The BP responds if you kill Urbain before him. This is the best way to farm for Stone of ephemeral eyes, and u can collect souls from the reaper on your way down.

I have mephistophles on one of my games right now for about the past 2 weeks, I cannot say for sure that she will stay there indefinetly but so far it seems this way. I have had my CT all over the place and only have 1-4, 4-1 to 4-3 left to complete as I use that character for pvp I do not want to complete those levels so I can fight BP's. Also I usually do her assissination quests right before the final battle with the real Allant just in case I need to buy grass etc. from patches. Keep in mind though if you want to do the quests for Ostrava and Biorr for the colourless souls/TOB you must do her quests much earlier.

This has been implied heavily, but I haven't seen anyone say it explicitly. Once you unlock her, does she stick around even if you shift your CT? I'm interested in unlocking her for Foe's ring, but I want to get the friend ring first (since I want to get that before I start my NG+). Speaking of which, when's a good (latest) point to start killing off NPCs? Just before False King, or just before Wannabe Allant? Thanks in advance!

Yep, sorry, I meant 2-2 for patches. I'm sure I checked there since he disappeared but I'll recheck anyway.
Pity about Urbain, don't know how he disappeared. Luckily, only miracle I've got assigned is 2nd chance.

I hope these bugs will be fixed in the EU version, but I'm guessing they won't be.
Well, looks like I'l have to try and beat NG+ on SL36, wish me luck.

Btw, Mephistopheles was active in my game in the Nexus and I had aggravated her. She doesn't kill NPCs, if left alone, does she? I've had her in other games and done her quests, then killed here for the ring. In this game, I wanted to keep my NPCs but I was going to use her to take my magic back down to 6.

The Temple Knight starts with Magic stat at 6, get it to 10 to be able to learn magic.

My character is a Templer Knight soul level 34. Everytime I go Freke's apprentice he just tells me to go away. The only thing that might affect this is the fact that I killed Ostrava in 1-1. I got tangled up and hit him a few times then he started to fight me. He lost. Could that cause the Apprentice to not teach me any spells or is it my character?

Ilkar is definitely right about Urbain. However, Patches does have a tendency to disappear; it has happened to me a couple of times. Unfortunately Patches is glitched, the only way I have found to get him back is to start a new game. My only advice is to stock up on arrows from him as soon as possible in case this happens again.

On a side note I have seen Patches reappear in 2-2 after clearing the level and having him in the nexus; i assume another glitch. It doesn't hurt to check.

Well, Urbain is dead, that much you can easily ascertain. The BP in the pit in 4-2 only respawns if he's dead.
As for Patches, I have no idea. I've never had any NPC disappear on me before in quite a few hours of gameplay, so I can't really advise you on how to get him back. Are you definately sure you spoke to him after both events and he isn't just standing there in one of the levels? Also, I take it you meant 2-2?

St Urbain and Patched have disappeared from the Nexus in NG. I killed Yurt a long time ago and had been buying arrows from Patches, and swapping miracles with Urbain for a while.
I've read that this is similar to the Ed disappearing act but is there any new solution to this problem aside from starting a NG?
Btw, I really didn't want to do start a new game as I was keeping this character in the SL 30s.

Also, the black phantom in the pit in 4-2 keeps respawning. Thing is, I don't really need Darkmoonstone chunks. And I did all the Patches sequences in 2-1 and 4-2 prior to him returning to the nexus.

Any ideas, anyone…?

I never had a problem, i suicide all the time in 2-1 for the primeval demon and ed never went away.

Suiciding might be a possible cause, just doesn't mean every time you suicide it is gonna happen. I for one already posed this as a possible cause as my Ed disappeared immediately after suiciding in 2-1 to make it pbwt.

Killing something in physical or BP form has no effect on the opposite form. In other words, if you killed body form Miralda then BP miralda will be there if you get the world to PBWT.
