Your memory must be playing tricks on you, because there are no less than seven developer messages in the hallway leading to the lever, including one right in front of it, that you should always be able to see regardless of online status.

I guess I spaced out or something. Well there's nothing I can do about it now. I seem to have an annoying history of making horrible mistakes that I realize split seconds after it's too late to take them back. Killing Quelaag's Sister, getting Ornifex killed, and now releasing Navlaan. At least I haven't murdered the Emerald Herald or something.

Well now this was the strangest thing. Does joining the Company of Champions cause NPC invasions? Because I was invaded by a dark spirit simply named Swordsman, wearing the class's starting gear, who seemed to act pretty single-mindedly, but there still seemed to be latency involved with when hits would connect. Now I honestly can't tell if this really was an NPC, or someone trying to act like one while invading new characters. EDIT Invaded a second time, exact same deal. Now if this is an NPC with simulated lag, this is really quite ridiculous. Zero Initiative fucked around with this message at 03:27 on May 24, 2014 |

killstealing posted:You don't want to be thor? Thor uses the craftsman's hammer obviously. Also I've inadvertently developed an honor system when invading. Whenever I invade someone and they're assisted by a blue spirit, I think two things to myself: This guy obviously doesn't want to be bothered by invasions and is just looking to play the game, and also, gently caress the police. So I'll attack the blue cop with suicidal aggression and then black crystal out. One of them was even kind enough to just let us fight without interfering, but I think he was clued into my system when I dashed straight past him to lunge at the blue who spawned behind him.

I was in Belfry Sol and suddenly 2 bellbros invaded me. One of them went straight for me but the other one just stood there and waited for me to kill aggro'd mobs first. What a guy. I killed him, too another day gone playing dark souls

Dark souls pvp is nice because sometimes the other guy just wants to murder your rear end and be done with it, other times they're all honorable and just want ~good fights~, yet other times you'll just get a red phantom who will point out all the secrets while emoting encouragement the entire time.

Invading people as a naked blue man with pink hair and beard with the name YOLO SWAGSTER is a experience I can't imagine getting old. Also, a few minutes ago:

I got invaded by one in Shaded Woods and ran around dropping prism stones and then using a silver talisman so he would run by me. He kept trying to find me right up until his invasion timer ran out.  It's not like my disguise was perfect or anything so it's really on him.

So I became a bluecop and got 10 blue orbs to try it out. Two hours later I still have 10 orbs after cycling through every bonfire I had and hitting the orbs a few times, all of them fruitless. At least I got hits with bloodbros and bellbros, this poo poo is ridiculous.

Blue orbs are not limited by location. just go to any viable PvP area and you can invade anywhere, so long as there is a sinner within SM range anywhere. You will need to get your SM higher and in NG+, at least, before you can get a substantial amount of bites. Once you hit the range where Blood cov members are probably just buying orbs you will start getting more hits.

You really wont get too many hits until 2m-3m since you only invade sinners which people only become by killing 10 or more npcs or world masters, and getting red orbs takes a lot of grinding one way or another. The up-side is that you can get a lot more action from NG because the range goes in both directions for Blue invasions, whereas reds can only invade people with more SM than them. But there's also probably an over-abundance of people trying to blue invade constantly, I had to get real careful with my wretch Ice King character, because I would get blue invaded absolutely every time that my invasion timer was down, this is around 2.5m SM.

After a long (long long long) stint of farming the monastery scimitar I have nearly 10mil SM. Would heading over to NG++ give me more bites if I'm over the average SM for NG+?

I finished co-oping through the game with a friend of mine today and we must've run into at least 50 bluecops (and we rushed the entire game). There were less Havelyns than I expected but most of them had barely any tricks beyond fishing for lagstabs. We fought plenty of people 2-3 different times. I'm not sure about lower tiers but at higher ones I imagine you'd get endless bites with cracked blue eye orbs. Have any of you ever encountered a "Vivian"? I've fought/co-oped so many people, I'd be surprised if none of them were in this thread.

Cyberventurer posted:Hmm. Probably not, but hey who cares how obscure your fashion souls is so long as it looks interesting. Make sure to wear the ring of the red eye. Is there any reason to go into NG+ with a dickwraith character? From what I understand you can invade anyone in your SM range except for people that are in a lower game intensity. So if you go into NG+ you won't be able to invade NG players, but in NG you can still invade upwards into NG+ and beyond. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 04:53 on May 24, 2014 |

At least I got hits with bloodbros and bellbros, this poo poo is ridiculous. It's actually easier than you might think. Blue Orbs invade people wherever but prioritize your current location. You will usually fail your first couple attempts, on average I have to hit the blue orb between 5 and 10 times to get a hit. Ain't hard. argondamn posted:I don't think this is true. The game directly states this is the case.

I just invaded a guy in Drangleic Castle, where the elevator goes up to the Embedded. I spawned at the top of the ladder next to the elevator a few seconds before he stepped on the elevator at the bottom. As the elevator rose, I walked off the ledge to land on it. Swung at the dude until he rolled off to his death, used the VERY GOOD carving a few times while returning to my world. More blood for Nahr Alma + gently caress the bluecops

I jumped the railing my first time because when I poked my head around the arch under the stairs, I didn't make out any extra hallway to turn toward. I saw a bloodstain of someone pulling the lever and immediately dying, and though it would just drop an enemy behind me. Then I turned around with my shield at the ready, and saw the developer messages.
