So have some people decided their favorite method of trolling is to just gently caress over co-op buddies? I summoned a guy for pontiff sulyvahn and he buffed his weapon, entered the fog door with me and as I drew aggro he just black crystaled out. rear end in a top hat. I almost won too, I just got sloppy at the end. Also for some reason I don't really get invaded a lot, this playthrough's first was an obvious newbie I instantly melted with flame weapon, but the aldrich faithful stuff is really fun! Except when I get double invaded, then it's a bit less fun, but still.

Wildtortilla posted:Yea invading in this game is really dumb and not fun. Invading is usually alright in my experience, but this one does have some issues with pvp that the previous 2 lacked. Seems to have the worst issues with spammers (with any weapon frankly). And, while there are certain levels where numbers may not be a problem (like the prison. I've invaded multiple groups there and have managed to use enemies+terrain to kill 2-3 phantoms alone), it does seem a bit harder to be a lone invader. I've noticed that invading phantoms in this usually tend to engage in coop a lot more frequently than 1 or 2. As for people who run an heal, just bring a bunch of hunter charms. It can definitely help. I just wish they flew faster.

It turns out the problem was that horace was still alive and hollowed. After I killed the poor sap anri's summon sign appeared without issues.

Those only last for 30 seconds and you can only carry so many. Meanwhile a host can just keep running away and letting phantoms engage the invader. They don't really do much. I watched a stream where the host summoned the same two guys over and over; the streamer who was invading killed the same two phantoms ten times while the host just rolled away over and over. It was a 20 minute invasion. There's nothing you can really do since if a host doesn't want to fight you, they pretty much don't ever have to.

invaders are an annoying nuisance and im glad the one thing From kept from ds2 was being able to go human/kindled where ever, and that just like ds1 being unkindled/hollowed blocks invasions so far the only times I've been invaded is when I'm right by the boss fog door

Well you can kill the host before they are able to summon phantoms again. I have been through this though and its a huge pain. That's why I prefer magic based invasions as a pyromancer or a sorcerer because its much easier to engage hosts at range and one shot their summon spamming dicks off.

Honestly what we need is Karmic Justice so when 4 people mob you with estocs the instant you stand up after invading they all explode for 10k damage and die.

Counter-point: E-honor (which has nothing to do with random invasions in the first place) aside, if you invade me and expect me to follow you into uncleared content so that I can spring your cute little trap, you'll be waiting there a long time until you find me by a bonfire in the Patches Squat pose. I might even *applause*.

I might even *applause*. Yeah, that's why I think you have to be aggressive as possible if dealing with multiple phantoms, cause I only seem to do well in those cases. Playing it safe just results in getting caught by a pack of phantoms or waiting for a very long time until the host quits or gets a group. The bridge in the catacombs use to be a good trap, but people got wise to it unfortunately.

Oh man, Soul of Cinders was such an amazing boss fight. It was such a really cool way to end the series. And the music change during the second part.... The whole thing was just so cool and nostalgic. It really made me think that the Souls series has been something special.

If youre a pvp nut and use dried finger all the time you can get a lot of them because each invasion has a 10% chance of spawning a new seed.

First Gay Stream Marriage. In all fairness, a Belmont run in this particular Dark Souls is abysmally difficult. The Whip has to be one of the shittiest weapons in the game because it takes so drat long to flail it about. The special move is pretty sweet though. It's too bad they took holy water out of the game, I have to substitute it with firebombs or lightning urns.

You have a chance of getting one each time you kill an invader so if you have a gank squad you're basically gonna get one each time you go back for your next gank squad.

*sees Three NPCs in the far distance* "Let's see, this message says try eliminating one at a time. Well, that's the usual plan. Hah, shortbow pulls are great. Now to finish this guy off-Oh the other two have suddenly decided to aggro from 300 feet away, welp." At least such "We're making an exception to the rule" tricks are ones you can only fall for once EDIT: "I'll lead them down to the spooky books this time! I'm using tactics!-oh they are immune okay then. Still, that's one down" two... Just you and me now mage. And that's that. Section Z fucked around with this message at 22:09 on May 20, 2016 |

I might even *applause*. This is perfectly acceptable behavior, but I've legitimately only invaded one person who's just sat and waited. Invaders are, at best, enabled trolls. That said, if I've wasted your time, it's a successful invasion - it ain't always about getting the kill and the covenant macguffin, especially when you can just red sign and grind it out that way. Edit: Just realized that the majority of replies to my post are on the previous page. I'm not recording statistics or anything, and I realize this is completely anecdotal, but I'd say that even though I've definitely seen it happen, a pretty low percentage of my invasions end up with the host + a gank squad waiting at the bonfire/fog wall to murder me. I've honestly seen more fight clubs than I have merciless gank squads. Pyrus Malus fucked around with this message at 22:09 on May 20, 2016 |

What do you need to get invaded in this game though? I can summon/get summoned/invade other people in a matter of seconds, but I haven't seen a single invader yet. Perhaps I need to open up some ports?

RyokoTK posted:There's several problems with this. First off is that the game's been out for a month now, and a lot of people playing the game are already at least reasonably familiar with it so it's not like invasions are just noob stomps anymore. Secondly, healing in PVP is extremely free so if you don't alpha strike your target, they'll probably escape and full heal, meanwhile you're sitting in a blender of swords and there's not much you can do about it. Thirdly, in my experience, as soon as people see the invasion message they just loving run back to the bonfire, summon as many phantoms as they can, and then stand around and wait for you to engage them. Fourthly, there are plenty of actually constructed gank squads that just clear out the level, use a dried finger, sit by the bonfire, and wait for people to invade the game (with the high priority due to the finger) just so that they can ruthlessly murder them. That's the DS1 forest and it was the best.

I know it's cheap as hell, but I killed the second crystal sage the normal way in the grand archives once and like hell am I going to put in that effort again. Now, I just spray him with toxic mist or poop him up and let his health rot away on the first floor while I AFK around the corner. I'm not running all over the place for you again.
