Aldis' Keep and the Dragon Aerie are cool zones. I got owned by a skeleton though. e: Soul Geyser didn't do poo poo to a pvp guy. Is it meant for pve? He literally walked right through it. e: It's happened twice now, they don't even have to roll, just walk forward. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 03:07 on May 6, 2014 |

EvilTobaccoExec posted:what? white phantoms can heal all they want with estus or their stones. "your a scrub if you have to heal in a laggy game when the enemy can chug all the estus they like" I see a flaw in your logic.

He's complaining because the lag makes it much easier for someone who is terrible but can heal to just grind someone much better down. Especially now that most invasions are 2v1s with how common phantoms and the funpolice are.

I keep nearly getting kills on people, then they get away with a sliver of health and heal back up because the game is laggy and hit detection is poo poo at times. Go ahead and keep pretending I somehow don't understand that you're supposed to hit someone when they heal though. I mean who would ever think to do that???? According to the wiki the rats in grave of the saints can drop warmth, though I've never seen that. Can anyone confirm?

I know to prioritize the host when I can't win against multiples otherwise. Lag stabs and all the problems around it suck but in generally lag is part of the game and you have to time around it case by case. You risk nothing you win nothing. The only problem is how stupidly rare cracked red eye orbs are. Internet Kraken posted:This.

Mariposa posted:I was doing this earlier, too. I got 9 medals in about 30-40 minutes, maybe, and then I decided to take a break. I only had one host die, I think because he killed the staff Lord first and ignored the wheels until he got beaten to death. Almost nobody seems to die, especially with help, though honestly I'm not much help (using mostly soul arrows). I should go back there now with some fireballs. In the later-game I had similar luck with shrine of amana, and the guardian drake. Both are incredibly easy, generally quick, and people rarely die in them.

It's a defender's advantage given to the host to compensate for the fact that the invader will be coming with full resources, whilst the host will have at least partially depleted theirs trying to get through the area. Not to mention the potential for the host to be caught up in fighting creatures when the invader shows up. Also that if the host dies, he loses humanity, souls and progress - the invader loses nothing. It's completely reasonable that red phantoms can not heal, while the host can.

Well, 30 cracked red eye orbs later and I've come to the conclusion that there are only three armor sets in this game; havel's, hexers and one I can't identify. I just wish people would live a little so that it doesn't feel like I'm invading the same greatsword wielding, havel wearing fellow every time.

Red phantoms can heal though, you just need certain spells, so if its a balancing factor its a hilariously terrible one. Also if you've ever invaded someone you know that 95% of players just run away from enemies rather than actually try to progress. The defender's advantage in this game is ridiculously huge.

There's like 3 different caster sets you can get from Navlan that look pretty cool, but the only set with cast speed is the lovely lion mage rags. Casting speed is so vital in PVP it makes them the only real choice.

I figured it was just something like that, but seeing that giant wave of magic just go right through a guy and he kind of just shrugs was a bit lame. Especially compared to firing a sun at them. Judging by these bonfires though I'm nearly the endgame. I've got Dragon Shrine and the other king's doors. That's it besides Vendrick and the dark covenant right?

I suspect you probably got unlucky with where the projectiles went and had some funny hit detection?

Spent a while grinding out sun medals in ng+, kinda sucks when someone summons you to murder a blue cop and then immediately banishes you. Oh well, I got my medals. Now I just have to be a bellhop for a while and get the boss soul spells. It's nice how fast the game goes in ng+, it took me six hours to go through the Forest of Fallen Giants the first time but in ng+ I beat the Lost Sinner in about five. And that's with farming for over 30 sun medals!

RBA Starblade posted:Soul Geyser does less damage than a soul spear when it actually does hit. What am I missing about it? Don't use it in PVP first of all. I've tried and tried and only ever got one person stupid enough to get hit by it. For PVE, you have to be at the proper distance to make sure all the spears converge on the target. I want to say you have to be fairly close for that to happen? Been a while since I've used it. It's basically the (large) boss destroyer, even after the nerf. Shouldn't take more than three or four casts to take out any boss in ng+. Domattee posted:I can't believe they looked at DkS 1 WoG and said "This spell isn't good enough, it also needs to do 4000 damage if not rolled through perfectly" It's balanced because it takes an extra half a second to cast.

I'm curious about something re: pvp and graphics. If you cast poison mist or whatever, can you use it as a smokescreen to wind up a spell out of your opponent's sight? I've been trying this out, but I'm not sure if it's actually working or not.

Dude youre whining about not being able to heal as an invader... outside of the cost/benefit of specifically devoting a few points to get a skill that lets you heal. Thats balance. If invaders could heal then the second you got ganked by an invader chugging estus you'd probably be back in this thread complaining about that instead.

How does letting invaders heal fix lag instead of just causing estus chuggers to be on both sides of the equation? Being an invader isn't about having a massive advantage, its about going to gently caress someone up when they dont expect it and aren't prepared for it. Youre upset because youre getting hosed up instead and aren't prepared for it. Invest the points, invest in lloyds, or quit whining.

I feel that invaders usually have a massive advantage (Speaking from about 40 invasions in NG) because they are geared for PvP, expecting to fight someone, and (usually) have a map's worth of NPC enemies to fall back on if they need assistance. I'm sure things differ between characters and play styles, but my Affinity > Soul Spear combo has a decently high success rate for instantly one-shotting unsuspecting hosts.

There is quite literally no drawbacks to being a bellbro besides losing a ring slot. If you die, you lose nothing. If you win (and lets be honest, it's really easy to win), you get a titanite chunk, your health is topped up, and your spell count replenished. You don't even move your position from where you were taken from.

Wrong again my friend, I would invade all the time if I could get my hands on more cracked red eye orbs. Because of that I spent more time in BellBros (up to covenant level 3) although I don't like it as much as pure red invasions.
