Aftenshnoshnikr, your advice was "if you don't like it don't play it." You could easily apply that to this thread. I have not excperienced some of the things people are complaining about but now I am aware that they are there. So I can be on the look out for it. I also do not believe anyone here seriously thinks that the developers are reading this thread to find things to improve upon. People like to complain even about things they love. I play all of my games on the highest difficulty and even crave more realistic attributes from some (hunger/dehydration/disease).

The only thing I wish any game would trully fix is hitting through the walls. Explosion and the like are fine obviously but when I get hit with a halberd through the wall and can not retaliate it makes the game feel cheap and poorly made or even worse that it was deliberatley designed that way. Some features I used to hate I have come to love. In Demon's souls I never once used a summon and played almost the entire game hollow (I forgot what it was called in that one). Dark Souls my first play though was about the same I just hated getting invaded. NG+/++ though I spent almost the whole playthrough looking for PvP and co-op as a Sunbro. There are a lot of cheap tricks I usually do not know about that make PvP difficult for me. I no longer use heavy armor. I have 2 poise now because things have changed here to a point that heavy armor just seems like too much of a burden. The learning is the fun part. Griping is the stress relief part.

Also I have been using the dagger I started the game with (sorcerer), a fire long sword I found or the Heide sword and at some point I became more about miracles so I use the Idol Chime. I am not going to switch weapons just because these are "inaffective." I have learned how to make them effective. If I had to play this game a specific way then I would have lost interet super fast. In fool jester's set (see what I did there?) I loose more than I care to but when I kill all invaders at the belfries in this set with these weapons I feel like a god (I have small ambitions). I have obviously lost my point so i will go now.
