Just met a really odd hacker. I'm sitting outside the Last Giant room and jumping in to help people out and to get some sweet sweet gambling stones when I get summoned by someone sporting the Black Knight Greataxe, right away I figured hacks but whatever, stones a stone. Then she waved and proceeded to backstab me so hard that I took no damage and couldn't get up. Just laid on the ground for a minute or so with her standing over me before I decided to ALT-F4 out. Just a weird encounter all round.

Welcome to infinite poise damage stunlock, if I recall right.

For some insane, messed up reason, From made it so that if you poise break someone hard enough, they never get up.

If you get invaded by someone who does that, and also disabled their phantom timer, you are screwed and must alt-F4.

So, make that four-and-a-half (4.5) crash exploits From left in while removing the Barrel, since you have to alt-F4 out of this, so it would actually be more merciful if they had just crashed you out.

I had someone today enter my game then walk through the fog wall. He wouldn't come out. Like 5 minute later he teleports in front of me, backstabs my face then superman flew away and hung out in the sky until I had to quit the game. Seemed rude.

Man I wanted them to add the barrel as a real thing not kill it off, so sad.

Just got invaded in the Bastille by a naked dude with way too much hp and a shadow dagger that did well over 500hp on a backstab. I'm in ng, around 600k sm, so this doesn't seem legit. Weird thing is he didn't show up on my 'players met' list (on ps3). Trying to figure out ways in which this guy was not a hacker, coming up empty!

This is very easily achievable legitimately at 600k SM. Are you surprised he dealt over 500 damage on a backstab?

I thought they patched criticals to do a max of 500 in ng? May have misinterpreted something. Either way, I figured he'd have shown up in players met so I could ask him myself, but he's just not there.

edit: should add, I did around 750 damage on a two hit combo against him and knocked off maybe a 1/6 of his health at the most. Over the course of the fight I definitely did more than 2000 damage and he still won with like 2/3 of his health left. I need to look into this build if that's legit, that's a whole lot of hp!

Actually, I thought the only things that drop Shadow Daggers (the Shadow Assassins in the Flexile Sentry's fight) only appeared on true NG+?

So despite playing the game a million times, I've yet to actually travel very far in a NG+. So I get to the Iron Keep and see not one but two red phantom samurai captains are in the shortcut furnace. Unfortunately for them, being designed big led to some...problems

Now sauntering to the ring, please welcome the lackadaisical style of the man who is always doing something...

No idea about the soft-bans. I've hacked a ton of items, weapons, etc. Into my game and I've been able to find signs and coop with a friend with the Name-Engraved Ring. Haven't adjusted SM at all, though. Guess I'll ease up since it sounds like they're actually starting to ban people again.

Something found on :reddit: about how bad FROM is handling this:

pua central posted:

So I was talking with friends from work about it and they pointed out that the folder holding the SL2 file is 16-bit. This means softbans are not based on the SL2 file itself or some unique ID attached to your steam account, but the folder name in the directory. I experimented with it and found a way to remove soft bans associated with the account.

- Locate the DarkSoulsII folder in C:\Users(Username)\AppData\Roaming
- Copy only your SL2 file from there, paste it somewhere safe
- Delete the DarkSoulsII folder
- Uninstall Dark Souls 2
- Change your Steam ID through Edit Profile (this may not be necessary)
- Reinstall Dark Souls 2
- Start a new character
- Exit to the Start Screen
- Alt-tab out and copy + paste your SL2 file to inside the newly made folder in AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsII
- Continue your character

Soft ban should be removed after that. It worked for me and a few others.

EDIT: Make sure you are using an SL2 file before you got softbanned.

Fyi you don't even have to uninstall Dark Souls II. Just delete the DarkSoulsII folder in %appdata%, start up game, make new character, quit to menu, replace new save file with your backed up one. Boom, softban gone.

Well just got my reply from Bandai Namco support about my softban.

Bandai Namco Support posted:

Thank you for contacting Bandai Namco's Technical Support and Warranty Department.

We have looked into this issue further with the Dark Souls 2 server team for the profile you provided and it appears that you have had restrictions/limitations placed on your account, most likely due to one of the following reasons:

1. Using external save data (such as MegaMule)
2. Hacking or exploiting the game to modify stats/abilities/souls/items/equipment/online matching levels etc.

Any players found in violation of the EULA (End User License Agreement) WILL NOT have these restrictions/limitations lifted.

The decisions for these restrictions/limitations on your online experience are ultimately handled by the Dark Souls 2 server team (FROMSOFTWARE) in Japan that is monitoring the servers and we would have no control or ability to change their decisions. As such we would also recommend contacting them directly at http://fromsoftware.jp/en/ if you truly feel the restrictions/limitations placed on your account are wrong/incorrect or for any additional information regarding your restrictions.

So I'll see if I can contact From and see if anything can be done. Or I could try that thing someone linked from Reddit and see if that removes my restrictions. Either or really.
