Somewhat confident, I made my way into the city and ran around in there for a while. I eventually made my way to the boss on the bridge and got him (second try, though it was close). I haven't attempted the dragon yet, but I did go around him and got the armored boar (cheesed that kill LOL). Not really sure where to go next, but I still have to get past the knight with the curved club at the bottom of the tower leading to the bridge, so I may go back there. I also have the armored knight at the top of the spiral tower near the boar (he rapes me), though I did get the other armored knight before the bridge (guarding a ring).
Surprisingly, I really haven't raged yet, though I did die a stupid death once when going to get my corpse, losing 3K souls, which bummed me out a bit. Then again, I've only really fought one boss.

While I haven't PvPed a whole lot in DS yet (just a few invaders in my limited play time), from what I have seen in videos, I would say DS is a bit more tactical in combat vs GW2. Both games can have a lot of movement, but you really need to know your timing in DS, whereas GW2 is a bit more spammy. One wrong move in DS, like in PvE, can cost you the match. DS also has parry and backstab, which can turn the tide of the battle. Watching PvP in DS is much more satisfying than GW2, that's for sure. I could easily watch a tourney in DS.
