my favorite invade is when I get placed by cursed greatwood house as a purple, and the door is locked, and the host is sitting with 2 phantoms all the way by morne

The only change I'd make to the invasion system as is would be to disable further phantom summons, except for Blue Sentinels and Darkmoon Blades, when an invader hits. It's ridiculous how quickly people will leg it straight back to a bonfire and start spamming for all the phantoms they can get - why the gently caress are you even playing online at that point?

Your Computer posted:The online features of the Souls series include messages, summons, bloodstains and the "ghosts" of other players, all of which are fun and harmless features that one might enjoy without enjoying invasions. The whole "well if you don't like invasions then play a different game noob" argument is so loving dumb. They had a point but in the wrong way. You can opt out of PvP while still retaining all the online features by just going unembered. Hell, I'm not sure how the system works since I haven't used it but does the password system also lock out invaders not on the same password? There's plenty of ways to avoid being invaded if that's not your thing. People are gonna argue back and forth on both sides of this thing but my main beef is when people decide to rub a dried finger all on their face and summon a bunch of phantoms for the express purpose of gang banging every single person that steps into their world. I suppose fun is a completely subjective thing but I can't imagine how completely one-sided gank fests are particularly thrilling for either party involved. I don't remember nearly as much fuss being made in past Souls games about invasions where it wasn't nearly as lopsided at any rate.

I haven't found a dude with a parrying shield yet today so it's rough. I seriously can't remember ever being parried while doing that in pvp though (only the L1 1-2), and I know tere's several times when I thought "Huh, that should have been parried." I'll keep you updated.

I invaded a host and he had a buddy I'm assuming he was chatting with or something, either way neither were great, the host was a big coward and mostly let his friend try and fight me and occasionally try for cheeky hits. I end up killing his pal and since running away is so easy in this game, he just starts mad dashing around until in the most random spot he stops for like the half a second it takes to mash a sign and oh, his buddy is back. I killed that guy another two friggin times before the host eventually got too much momentum I guess and ended up running himself off a ledge.

Nah, it just makes it much easier to single out your buddies for summoning and stuff.

NTT posted:Can we have Dark Souls 1 remade in the DS3 engine please I like some parts of the engine, but the game has been getting too fast for my liking. Thing is Dark Souls wasn't hard at all, you just had to plan your moves. Basically everything could be parried. What we got by people wanting a faster Dark Souls is Capra demons in every room.

I did capra demons literally with a bow And to be honest the capra demon is sluggish compared to most ds3 enemies DS1 being deliberate really is the thing; rolls cost 3 times the stamina in that game, so each one you made counts.

Yeah this is the only thing that needs to change fundamentally, and/or perhaps instead of the dried finger specifically opening you up to more invasions it should just be a hard rule that you can always be invaded by a number of reds = the number of summoned assistants you have. Blues wouldn't count against this, but it would make 3v1s less common. Invaders being outnumbered is fine, fighting a 3v1 with reinforcements coming in isn't.

Doesn't really help that if you do get the upper hand in that situation then nine times out of ten you'll get a sudden, mystical "connection error" cropping up. I've slowly warmed up to PVP over the course of the franchise and the matchmaking here gets it nearly perfect. It's just the few flaws really goddamn stand out.

I'm kind of disappointed that there are no smaller one handed hammer looking weapons in DS3. They tend to be clubs or maces. The blacksmith hammer is technically one but I need something a little more ostentatious.

Sooooo... I healed the Dark Sigil after talking to Anri in the Church and not killing the pilgrim there. Her sign isn't showing up at Aldrich and I can't find her anywhere. Where the heck is she at, or did I gently caress myself out of the everything?

I'm hoping they will finally add a Small lightning element hammer that shoots lightning bolts when you swing, and only drops off a unique named Blue NPC "invader". Naturally I would like it to be balanced, but if it is completely broken that's fine too.

Toady posted:I don't think they care about balancing PvP because they don't intend for it to be a fair and equal mechanic. An invader is just a human-controlled element of the level intended to put embered players on edge unless they group up. You have things like the Aldritch Faithful hotspot, which is ridiculously stacked against embered players because it's supposed to be a hostile roadblock before the big Anor Londo revisit, and it makes sense that Aldritch worshippers would try to stop you. The PvP system is just a lore indulgence meant to throw more hostility at players, and you get some rewards for participating in it. imo invasions were always supposed to be scumbags ambushing people and wasting them in unfair ways. the 'dueling' stuff strikes me a perversion of that. but some aspects of pvp being unbalanced are just kind of an extension of pve being unbalanced. it's not like stuff like the dark sword and estoc don't roll over mobs.

Yup, no sign there. Did I have to summon her for anything before that? Also I killed Yuria because she got mad at me when I healed the Sigil and I wanted her armor

I thought there was a darkmoon patch? I leveled up to 100 and I still can't get summoned. Fextralife is hosting a bluemoon event tonight. It officially starts in two hours but people claim to have started already. I rushed through to NG+ and I literally can't get a single darkmoon summon. I'm standing right where they say they all are, and nothing. And in the two hours I've been waiting I farmed.... one ear from the silver knights. Just 28 more to go! gently caress! (Why are the network options so loving terribly written? "Cross-region play" "Allow or restrict cross-region matching." Your choices are "matchmaking on" or "matchmaking off". How about one of those loving options be "allow" or "restrict" so I know what the gently caress option I am choosing? None of these three pieces of information line up in any way shape or form. These are all different loving words, From?!?? )

Yardbomb posted:It's because duels 9 times out of 10 are actually gonna be you just getting summoned into an instant death, red signing is worse than it's ever been right now probably. I've done a fair amount of red signing and this has never happened to me, where on earth are you finding these people? I've also never run into a hacker though either (I play on PC), maybe I'm just blessed?

But also, all it did was expand the summon range, pretty sure. If you're one of the people just literally never getting summoned, that's unlikely to make a difference.

Harrow posted:The Darkmoon patch is regulation 1.06. I know it's out for PS4, not sure if it's out for PC. I made a low level character and got summoned once, to one blue moon invasion. Twice it tried but had a connection error once there. Once the weapon upgrade system was explained to me I could even get reliably invited to farron invasions. I went to NG+ and leveled up to try to get right in the middle of the new wave of PvP and nothing has changed. I'm real frustrated. At high level it has never tried. Never even timed out. I feel like it's possible but I don't know what the gently caress else to do to help it along at this point. I can't say 'literally never' because under stupid circumstances I could get it to work. Sort of.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:The only time you'll get invaded while embered is if you summon people to help because of how this game's invasion "queue" is setup, and if you're summoning people before you get to the boss door you have bigger problems in the game than not wanting to fight invaders, like getting good enough at the game to kill normal Mobs without needing people holding your hands. That's totally not true; I've embered up plenty of times to be spammed with invaders as soon as 5-10 secs after I popped it.
