So far lot's of dies for me since i don't know the enemy placement etc.Yeah,started with the hp ring as well.I'm playing it on the PS4 if it is the same for you i wouldn't mind some co-op.My roomates both got it so i'm playing their copy for now until my Gamefly gets here. Then we can go full coop.
I went with Warrior and Life Ring
The first boss got me too. I thought he was gonna do some crazy shit and played too cautious. Whopped him hard the second time.
Game is gorgeous and feels great. Soundtrack kicks ass too so far.

Are you on PS4, how about the share function? If so what's your tag...let's be friends!Just played a few more hours today. Liking the game a lot so far. Trying to find the zweihander, as I saw some people with it. It was my olde trusty in dark souls one. They said I have to send this npc to steal some stuff, which I did, and eventually he will sell it. I'm getting that damn sword tomorrow. Then dark souls III will truly feel like a dark souls game. Been putting most points in my strength in anticipation.
So far game is great. I'm not feeling like on par with dark souls 1, or demons souls yet, but close. I don't know if anything ever will. They we're just perfect.
I managed to play Co op with my brother. Saved a sweet clip where I got invaded and we both did a parry at the same time on him and did double critical damage. It was fucking epic. I have to find a way to post it here.
So it is possible for two Co op players to parry an invader at the same time and both hit. Thats definitely a new feature.
I might submit it to that YouTube guy that runs weekly videos of the best kills. I think it has potential.

Yeah it is and as lagduf stated a password system for playing with the player directly.Got to the un-dead settlement recently.Yup I'm also on ps4. My tag is Wachenroder.
Is the coop system in this game similar to the other 2 with soul memory and what not?
I made the dragon in the first area go away. Anyone know where it goes?
Definitely linear overall but with some branching paths (which eventually reconnect) in each area. Shortcuts exist per area which is nice, but the game clearly isn't interconnected in the way Dark Souls 1 was. But with being able to teleport right off the bat, and having to level up at Firelink I can understand why they did it. Just makes me realize how fucking good that level design was in DS1.
I'm about 16 hours in. Been doing lots of Jolly Co-Operation as I get to each area so I can explore with another player without any real consequences. I really like that you can also engage in co-op when you are unkindled (eh, not sure that's the right word for it...)
I just cleared Cathedral of the Deep. I think I found everything in the actual Cathedral...but undoubtedly I missed something. I'm doing a mostly blind playthrough and I've been watching some Let's Play of Areas I've already beat.
Couple tips/observations:
The CROW does not work the same as in previous games. You drop an item, and if the crow wants it it immediately drops another item (apparently.) I dropped an item that I originally thought you only got once per playthrough (turns out it's twice per playthrough) and then logged off before understanding how it worked. I lost the item I dropped and the item the crow dropped. Oh well.
If you haven't bought a torch I highly suggest doing so. Unless you're a pyromancer, but still - you can light a lot of enemies on fire. And it's pretty cool. Lot of undead are really weak to fire. I've been spamming a lot of firebombs.
