So I figured out the way summoning works, apparently being in the same covenant will help you be summoned by other people. This game is really online heavy when compared too Demons souls, the fact that people can give you more flask's and if you get summoned only THEY can heal you does become a bit annoying. I tried helping this guy kill the hydra but he wouldn't get near it and he kept getting me shot by its water blast's.
Any who have any of you been cursed yet? I hear its probably the worst shit that can happen to you in this game, seeing as there are only 2 ways to become un-cursed. Either you fights through ghost which require an item to even fight them or you spend a crap load of souls and buy an item that is sold from only 1 merchant. I also found out that the curse effect stacks so if you get cursed once you can be cursed again and have your health drop down by half yet again. I heard some guys was cursed 10 times and had to spend like 10 hours just trying to get rid of the curse. This game hates you with a passion.

The curse status is awful, because first of all it instantly kills you.
So that sucks right off the bat, but then you spawn at your bonfire with 1/2 health. And yeah it stacks up to 1/8 health but no lower (that doesn't mean it still isn't a one hit kill).It only takes 3 hits of curse to get down to 1/8 health though, and I can't think of anything that will let you live in this game when you have 1/8 health.
The un-curse item costs 6k from the person close to the area where enemies have curse and 3k far away. If you go all the way to the person who sells it at 3k you'll have enough money to buy 2 of 3 un-curse items. I was hoping there would be a de-curse miracle but I don't think there is one. :/
Basically, don't even go near enemies with curse unless you have a bunch of de-curse items. Farm them, get as many as possible. When you run out get more. It is NOT worth the hassle to try and farm for 3k or 6k souls when you can't be hit at all.

Upon running into his first curse mob my brother had this pearl of wisdom to share: "Demon's souls was a hard game. It was tough but it was fair. But it's like they got such a reputation for being hard that by the time Dark Souls came out they decided to take out the 'game' entirely in the interests of cementing that reputation."

I've gotten cursed once and I thought it was pretty bullshit. Ended up paying 3000 to the guy at the belltower to cure it. Hasn't happened since then.
Love this game though. I like it better than Demon's Souls so far primarily because of the open world and the new environments. I like having more outdoor, colorful environments compared to Demon's Souls. It's got more variety. However, I could certainly understand people who don't like this better as well.
