Things You've Done as a Newbie

What would ice even do?
What would it even look like on a character?
Would you glow for 2 frames every time you're hit with an ice weapon?

I think an ice upgrade would maybe be something that might slow down attack and spell casting ever so slightly, but can stack if used enough times. It would probably look like crystals enveloping the opponent's body. If the ice 'bar' (like bleed or toxic) is filled up completely, you will deal reduced damage in addition to slower strikes. In exchange, ice buildup will be absolutely horrid and will most likely only be effective against a high vit healer.

I think it should be where your ice bar will cause you to regain stamina slower once it's filled, much like toxic does now, except we can actually upgrade to it instead of only having the 4 current ways we have now.

The only thing about it is that the person that this build cosplays makes many funny statements.

Me?

Anyone else got newbie things they did?

I wanted to pull a prank on one of my friends by introducing him to Dark Souls. He calls himself one of the greatest gamers ever, yet he hates any game with literally difficulty at all. I told him all about the classes in his character creation. He only likes quick weapons, but believes that they should also deal the absolute most damage that you can one-shot anything. He likes scimitars, so he chose a Wanderer and named it Price (a comic character he made.)

As he spawned for the first time, he started yelling angrily "Where is my Scimitar!"

I quickly told him, "You need to find it."

"Where?"

"I don't know, I went through with only that broken weapon."

He grunted angrily as he proceeded through the game. As he got to the Asylum demon, he said "oh, this thing can't do any damage to me. It's just a tutorial boss!" Then...he got crushed and killed.

"You need to dodge...or find your equipment." I said to him.

He was visibly angry and he ended up finding the passageway to the items, but was killed by the boulder. "Oh my God!" He screamed. I kept watching, silently making a visual map. He ended up getting to both of his items. As he tried equipping his Scimitar, he was shot a few times.

I chuckled and told him, "oh, the game doesn't pause." He growled angrily. He only equipped his Scimitar and killed the weak hollows. "Why not use your shield?"

He replied, "Shields suck, using only a weapon makes you fast." I sighed as he continued to the Asylum Demon. He managed to get the aerial attack and dealt major damage. "Oh my God! Why isn't it dead!?"

I sighed, "the game isn't the easiest in the world, ya know?"

He said something angrily, it showed he did learn something. "Is there a way to ninja flip, climb walls, and fly to get up there again?" Or he just wanted to be like a character in his comic...

I spoke, "well, you CAN roll, but not ninja flip yet."

He started yelling at me. "That sucks! Why can't you ninja flip right away, I want to be fast!"

"Well, you did pick one of the fastest starting classes."

He asked a question. "When can I use the Twin Humanities for alchemy to make potions or stronger weapons?"

"There are no potions, and Humanity is used to well...increase your humanity."

He died to the Asylum Demon...again...then he threw my controller out the window, poured lighter fluid on it, and set it on fire....he never payed me back for that.
