    The other outfit I had been planning to use for the Cosplay event was a Ruin Sentinel, so just try to imagine that alternate timeline.
    It's honestly a little strange that I got involved in the Fight Club at all, looking back on it. I've never been very enthusiastic about multiplayer, but something about the themed events made it a lot more fun.

      @@jhonviel7381 I mean, I think I get what you're going for? That popular games don't have tight-knit communities? That's more because when a game is popular with a lot of people, they very naturally play for different reasons. The vast majority of players never involved themselves with the old communities anyway. The lack of community is more a matter of human dissonance, since it's harder to find like-minded people in a larger sea of people.
      Sure, old forums are gone but there's an ton of discord channels that exist to serve various niches. The spirit is still there though.
      Remember, ads only sell games. After that purchase, companies don't have as much incentive to influence those people. The influencers after purchase are community members who make their living ensuring the community keeps existing. I'd argue that content creators have far more influence over a game's community than game advertisements.

      DS2 is the weakest installment storywise in my opinion, *but* had the best PvP. So many varied weapons with hidden mechanics that you'd only know if you actually read the descriptions. So it was very unlike DS3 where one straight sword is the direct upgrade to every other straight swords. There could be weapons that were "weaker", but it had a certain quirk to it that made it stand apart from the "Tier 1" weapons. DS2 has the most varied armor/weapon/build I've had in Souls PVP.

    When Zullie the Witch and her companions entered Shulva, there was no knowledge on the sunken city, it was lost, it was forgotten.
    What were they searching in those cursed depths: forbidden knowledge, fame or mere treasures? All of this is unknown and not important, because the witch found something she never thought could be in those ancient ruins. She found a part of herself.
    After that some say she died for the miasma of the lost city. Other insist that she escaped the cycle of the word. But few knows that she went beyond this and other words, seeking the laws and rules that make them work.

    That's actually a great story, I'm not even one who knows you much, this is my first time visiting.
    All you did was one simple "name change" hack, then when the Sanctum City DLC was released, you got curious as to why the key was removed and you wanted to see the place itself, so you learned more about "hacking" a game and it lead you there, now finally you're in this position.
    Curiosity killed the cat? Nah, it found Zullie the Witch and led her through a glorious lore-based channel. Remember, cats are eternal.

DS2 is still my favourite FromSoft game though!
    I remember meeting people who had obviously gone on those Shulva-heists too - I hosted fight clubs on the Iron Keep bridge, and I remember in the weeks before Crown of the Sunken King released, I got a few people showing up with the Sanctum Knight set, Sanctum Repeating Crossbow, and Puzzling Stone Sword!
