How the hell do I avoid the hit to my Estus when doing co-op? I was helping out GlassJoe and my flask went from 7 charges down to 3. Sucky.

I don't think you can. Not sure why they did that.
Hoo boy, the Abyss Watchers aren't screwing around. Things are getting real out here in the swamp.
I'm at that same spot, and yeah, it's brutal.
Shit, thats rough. I'm playing a sorcerer, so I've got my estus skewed towards FP. My regular estus went down to 1 use, and my ashen down to 2.Quote:

From streams it looks a bit easier.
Right now I'd say it's on par. I still have quite a bit of the game to see though.
Some things are easier, some harder. Poison and toxic status effects for example are MUCH weaker here than the first Dark Souls. There are lots of fast enemies that will chase you pretty far.
Finally got to put some more good time in. Was surprised to see a covenant person where there was a boss before in the stress test, wondering if that thing makes a comeback because it was fun to fight. Tree was a pretty cool fight, and I echo that it was good times providing co-op help for people. Finding a lot of NPCs who harken back to previous games and some cool new ones. Just made a ring that regains health with continuous attacking ala Bloodborne. I'm currently getting lost near the foot of the wall, but theres some crazy shit down there and it's great. Found an axe with a dark gem in it and got it up to +2, it has nice speed and power and a good hitbox so I may make it the first +10 eventually.
On par, at least so far. The game is much less deliberately-paced than previous installments, so both you and enemies move and attack faster. In many situations, you'll find an aggressive offense more effective than hanging back. Large groups of weak enemies are deadly this time around if they're not dealt with correctly (basically if you don't rush down specific enemies, they buff and/or enrage everything around them). Status effects don't fuck you over nearly as badly. Bosses are as challenging as ever.Quote:

If you're after something a bit more approachable than Demon's/DS1, maybe try vanilla Dark Souls II first.
I've thought it was par or slightly easier until I just recently hit a massive difficulty spike.
