Just a few hours to see if my 660 TI is up to the challenge. I don't need to have super fancy graphics to be happy. If I have to buckle and build a new comp or upgrade my GPU to play this and wait another week I will go hollow.

A 960 or even maybe a 950 wouldn't cost a whole lot and add a lot of "power" to your system.

Apparently the PC version now has a hack that can cause you to get banned or reset back to default level.

Invading has never been so frustrating in the series.

Half the time theres 2 phantoms or being summoned, the other half the host runs into a fogdoor 5 seconds in.

I run into groups of 4 or more a lot of the time.

The "Just lay red signs/do structured PvP" shtick is really bad already too. You know what's happened literally every time I put down a red sign? When I invade I actually get a pretty decent spread, 1v1, 1v2, the occasional 1v3 if I'm unlucky. Not with "structured" PvP though. Every single time without fail, I zone in to a host and two shitters already swinging at me, plus buffs since they get the benefit of prep time this way too. ~Woo exciting~

Yeah PVP needs to be fixed on every level.

I really hope some of the pro-invasion people in the last few pages have invaded me at some point in my playtime and been terribly frustrated when I do absolutely everything possible short of yanking my ethernet cable in order to not engage them.

Some of us despise PvP but there are tangible benefits to playing embered and online, so enjoy dashing after me toward the fog door or whatever.

Nice meltdown.

I'm not, putting effort into a reply to someone that obtuse is hardly worth it. If you don't like invasions don't play that half of the game. Don't post saying how cool and awesome you are for acting like a jackass. Just play offline. You don't get to pick and chose what parts of online play you want to "deal with".

You misread, I was the invader...

So was I, I'm just saying if they play online they should expect and have fun with invaders not just hide at the bonfire. If I get invaded I often get upset but I still try fight my invaders 1v1 if I die my host can have a shot at him. 60% of people I invade will never leave the bonfire and that means they can chain summon their buddy over and over I wont fight there.

Not really, I mean it's not a pvp at it's core game but it is a game that has a pvp component to it. You should be willing to have a good time with it. It's not like it's hard to recover souls.

It might be a matter of gitting gud, but as someone who was a lot of times terrified of losing hard-earned souls, I was not thrilled with the prospect of invasions. On the other hand it was a fun feeling going forward really carefully, being afraid of every corner, but on the other, I didn't really feel all that heroic.

Of course later in the game when getting souls became so much easier it was a different ballgame, but early-to-mid game I peeked behind every corner before daring to go forward.

I was in the same boat. It was so so frustrating but once you accept it you have a lot of fun with it. Just have a good time with all parts of online. After a while an invasion became a break from the norm, I started to want them to the point I started using the monkey paw thing.

I guess if you've done the whole PVP thing for a while and came to the conclusion that you hate it I fully respect that. For the few of you that just want to avoid it without some time spent doing it I would recommended trying it. It's a challenge.

Man I sure would like to play dorksouls, but its still crashing when i wake up at the bonfire before the swamp.

Some really basic steps:

- Verify the game using steam
- check for video and direct x drivers
- try running dark souls as admin
- Try running in windowed mode

Some really not so basic steps:

- check event viewer and read the crash dump for dark souls 3
- disable your security software
