I've managed to survive every PVP encounter I've been involved in, the few there have been.
Okay so I've bagged 13 bosses, two of them opening Primal bonfires. What I like about this game is that everyone I know has taken a different way to get around the game. For example, I was the only one among my group of friends playing (whom I've compared notes with anyway) that cleared out the Bastille before going through Tower of Heidt. I also jumped down into the Lionidas pit in Majula and went through Gutter and Black Gulch before hitting Hunter's Copse (the area we played in the beta), so I didn't realize there is an NPC who sells you ladders to get down there. Thank goodness for the ring that limits falling damage.
I'm in the Iron Keep or the Iron Castle, whatever it is called. Lots of lava and knights. Trying to figure out how infusing is supposed to work in this game (I'm thinking I can get the most out of elemental upgrades by doing it to a weapon I've already fully reinforced, but this is just a guess).
Some tips I picked up in my adventures:
-Silky and Smooth stones. Drop them to the birds nest at the beginning of the game.
-Whips are awesome.
-Talk to NPCs a lot, they often give you items and migrate to Majula after a while.
-Try hording your Petrified Dragon Bones on your preferred boss weapon.
-DO NOT BURN EFFIGIES AT BONFIRES
