If it saves me from random shitlords, though... I have not played with any mods, but I hear those "protection" mods can also be detected by the game as cheating and get you banned from online play. But this is second hand anecdotal.

I've been using Blue Sentinel and Wex Dust (red orb from Firelink, invade anywhere) and haven't been softbanned yet. I'd rather gamble on a mod potentially spooking them off than have some hacker inject malicious bullshit onto my character, guaranteeing something lovely happens.

I will give it a shot. I don't want my game mulched. I don't want poo poo injected that flags me as a cheater and gets me banned. Thanks goon bros.

As I recall Blue Sentinel doesn't do any of the stuff that does that. I think it just inspects incoming packets, which doesn't get you flagged. What it DOES do is update frequently enough to annoy me, personally, enough to be dumb and disable it because it's cumbersome to keep updated, but that's just me and you shouldn't follow my example

I was thinking more along the lines of other people invading me and injecting a hacked item into my inventory that flags me as a cheater. I can't believe that's even a thing. I just installed it so I hope it saves me some frustration. Edit: Nobody bit on the co op but I'm still down to play together on PC if anyone is up for it. vandalism fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Jun 26, 2021 |

I've been helping other folks with Midir as of late, but I'm good with whatever, tbh.  All I've got is the one endgame character though, so I guess just lemme know if I should bring something a bit more scaled down than a +10 bonk stick if you wanna work on early game stuff without me just blowing everything up.

If it saves me from random shitlords, though... It worked just fine for me for a while before it randomly bugged out and DS3 started instantly crashing on startup, until I removed the mod. I'm not sure what caused that or how to fix it. You'll need to do some settings tweaking in the config file if you don't want annoying text appearing around the top of your screen with the words [BLUE SENTINEL] or a list of connected players in multiplayer. What am I looking at here? Those hitboxes look fine to me.

Holy poo poo sister Friede is such a cool fight. I got to the end of phase 2 and was like, huh, beat her first try, she was cool as gently caress but pretty easy, i could poisebreak the poo poo out of her with my fists. And then phase 3 started   I was pretty low on healing by that point and got frostbitten to death. I think i got her next time though. Then i think all that's left is to ring the bell at archdragon peak and then beat slave knight gael! E: and midir!

And Tyler Too! posted:Like all of Midir's stuff, be right up in his grill. The problem is that he loves to jump to the opposite side of the arena before doing that particular attack. If I stay at range, he targets me with the first beam and I die. If I try to run closer, I end up right in the path of the follow-up sweep and I die.

Haul rear end towards Midir left side. The beam is telegraphed well ahead, so start running as soon as you see the charge.

I'm jealous of all the people who are saying "yeah, just do the invasions for covenant items." as if ⅔'s of all invasions don't end with the host disconnecting the moment you arrive.

That happens pretty rarely in my experience. And players who force-disconnect too many times get temp banned from online play anyways.

That said if you're willing to dip a toe into Ariandel once you have access, there are 3 very good weapons just lying around that you may be interested in picking up (you can run past just about every mob if you want to vacuum items). Crow Quills (Dex), Millwood Axe (Str), and Onyx Blade (Pyro), though you'll need to kill a NPC for that last one.

Sir Tonk posted:yeah i had alot of fun with them My experience with invading in the post-pontiff bonfire at SL50. -Literally half the time it times out. Of the successful connections: -1/3 is someone being babysat through the PVE content. -1/3 is a scared solo guy -1/3 is a big group fight of people here for the big group fights. Very very very rarely, it's a dueling PVP set up with people joining and spectating. Those aren't fun to me.
