Use a red soapstone sign you fucking idiot.
Or actually be a smart invader and join the mad phantoms, and wear the ring that makes you and your sign appear to be a normal phantom and gank the host when he least expects it

Oh yes I remember those "honorable duels" sl1 +10 weapon. You dug your own grave shitter.
I like how invasions suddenly get more hardcore and everyone cries about how it's unfair and panders to casuals.
If anything this is the best of both worlds. Casuals get their pandering, and shitters who were never any good at PvP to begin with get fucked while people who actually want to git gud still have no problem invading.
I'm having a blast taking on gank squads. Get shit on, kid.

Can someone explain the whole "Bowing to invaders" thing to me.
I mean, I get it if its a duel you actually want, but an invader is like a burglar. They're coming into your place to wreck your shit for no reason other than their own pleasure and maybe an item they probably don't even want.
They shouldn't be given respect. That's something a complete loser would do.

Is it possible to co-op easily in DS3?
Last games I played are DeS and DS1. Back then it was not a viable way, was just work arounds so I never tried co-op.
>>334808691
Are you seriously THAT autist that you think invasions are the ONLY online feature of the souls games?
>>334808790
It's autism, plain and simple.
>>334808814
If you want to co-op with friends there's actually a password system available now to do so. Otherwise since the game is new there's tons of randoms to summon.
>>334808626
are you 16?
>>334808814
theres a password system for easy pairing up
its easier than it ever was to target a friendo for joyous cooperation
>>334808691
I didn't really mind the invasions, but I was trying to co-op off and on with a friend, consistently get invaded about every 10mins. I can see how people would get tired of the invasions.
We always wrecked them immediately with 2v1 anyway.
>>334808790
It all comes from organized PvP, and the practice has somehow seeped its way into standard invasions for some people
Personally, I think it's stupid to bow to somebody that you didn't expect to show up in your world with the intent to kill your ass. Same thing goes for invaders: If you're invading, your purpose is to kill the host, not be all "muh honor" and shit. If you want honor, go to a fight club.
Shit thread. Post Vellas.
>>334808790

Maybe they want the extra health/co-op with bros?
I invade often and I use all the tricks in the book to screw with the invaded because From decided to give people who already have summoned phantoms priority over people who don't have summoned phantoms.
>>334808982
>>334808790
To add to this, any time I see an invader bow I go in to kill them. They deserve no respect. They've chosen their role in this game, and that's fine, there's nothing wrong with invaders, but they really need to stop bitching about being given "respect". Their role is not one to respect, it's one to loathe.
>>334807562

Boring game. Decent combat system but grindy as everliving fuck and performing the same moves over and over gets tiring especially since you need to make an entirely new character to swap movesets.
>>334808814
The password system shit is a little buggy, but you can do it. What I read was to make it a 8 letter password, restart the game after you do it, put your sign down a little away from a bonfire, then wait up to 5-10mins.
After the sign shows up the first time, it's almost immediate after that.
You will get invaded nonstop, btw.

Yeh. I'm playing with 3 buds and its fun and yoi cheese the map. But since we used a dried finger we get invaded by atleast 2 spirits, which would be fine if it werent that we got like 20 of them and couldn't progress much so it became a pvp arena
I just finished up that castle area in 3 (with all the drop boys and the dumb priestmen and the weird boss fight) and it makes me wanna remake this vid for das3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxJtZ4_Yi4M
Any game, the water level
>>334807562
Is there no way to duel anymore?
I remember DaSII had Red Signs, I mean you can still get ganked that way but it should lower the chance of comming across a PvE guy who just wants to bro-op. You can't demand a fair fight from a guy who doesn't give a shit about your PvP bullshit.
There should be a sign that can only summon phantoms if you have no allies with you IMO, dunno if something like that is already in the game.
I'm pretty sure gankers will disappear over time anyways, co-op is so absurdly overcrowded right now because new players who jumped onto the hype train need to be babysitted so hard that you get summoned in a minute.
If you come across a Gank squad, use your enviroment. Set up an ambush, ally with enemies etc. I've only done some very basic invasions in the first area and I always use the Hollow guy that turns into a snake to fuck their shit up when it isn't a 1 on 1.
>>334807562
Try to find a multiplayer game that uses matchmaking and won't punish you for a disconnect. Or I dunno, die instead of unplugging your net for no reason when there's no penalty for dying.

Now invaders have to pick up their souls back where they died.
Still host has alot more to fear
>>334809204
There's a community dedicated spot for dueling next to Anor Londo outside pontiff's bonfire. They use red soapstones and if you use the dried finger to summon a bunch of them you can start a fight club and weed out weak people so you can get a decent fight. You could also put your own red soapstone down to get summoned as it's pretty quick.

What I like about Souls PVP though is that you can set up fights anywhere, I think it sucks that you have to restrict yourself to one secret spot just so you can duel in peace
They should have made a duelist covenant or something. Using the soapstone while in the covenant sets a dueling sign, activating that sign transports both into a NPC-less version of the area where no Estus or other phantoms are allowed. Shouldn't have been hard to set up lore-wise either.
>>334807562
The problem isn't even the number of invaders it's you always get summoned into a world where the host is sitting back at the first bonfire with his 3 buttbuddies. I never enter a world where they are actually doing anything in the level so I've started playing the long game and forcing them to come to me.
Chip away at them with bombs and shit until they get pissed and chase you into strong monsters. Or better yet just invade the Grand Archives and make them run through the Funhouse without being able to get back much estus. Half the time I've forced the host to just kill themselves out of frustration looking for me.
>>334809587
This time the blood stain appears where you died in the other world. Mostly a mild inconvenience.

Dark Souls is meant to be played with no armor and not leveling up. The series is all about the difficulty and you nullify that by using armor and weapons.
I just black stone out when the odds are against me
Its not that bad since invading is working much better than ds1, in the time it took for 1 invasion to happen i can do 5+ in ds3.

>>334809861
A million times this.
Why the fuck are invaders complaining? You can fucking leave when you want, until you get a host you want to fight. Hosts don't have that option, so pairing invaders with stacked hosts first is a good thing.
It also forces invaders to git better.
>>334809704
In other words, they should have brought back everything that was good about Dark Souls 2 PvP. The fact that blues can't invade baffles me.

I don't get why people complain about invasions so much, I still win over half of them and that's including the garbage netcode ones where I get lagstabbed with an estoc from a mile away repeatedly, or the host/phantoms hoverboard around in the default pose and you cant see them swing.

still you risk almost nothing when invading so it doesnt realy matter, heck you can run to the place where u started the invasion so you wont lose your souls even if you die

What a great game, I like it.
>>334810540
They spawn on a tree next to Firelink Shrine
>>334810294
I just want there to be some variety in my invasions, and I don't think it benefits anyone to stack reds against hosts with summons. The kind of host that plays the game with two summons probably doesn't want anything to do with the pvp and reds get in an unfair fight. It's not impossible to win but it's universally stacked against the red which dissuades people from doing invasions, which probably also has an effect on the blues because they won't get summoned as often. It's just poorly thought out, I can beat a 1v3 but having the system only generate that kind of situation is ultimately a bad thing for the game's online.

Seriously, in every game PvP players are the biggest cancers of the community. You arena fags in WoW basically ruined the game when shit was balanced for you. In runescape people who PK are massive faggots, whats the point in killing me while I'm hunting black salamanders when I only lose fishing nets and ropes. You're literally spending more on runes and arrows trying to kill me. From the sound of it the souls series is just as bad with PvP fags. If the game wasn't designed to be a PvP game then fuck off or shut up.

>>334807562
>he didnt find and use the red sign soapstone for pvping rather than the red eye orb
I pity you. 9 times out of 10 when I get summoned by a host via red sign I kick their asses.
Invasions are dead though, I will hand that one to you. Unless you're godly at PvP and can withstand pressure from 3+ gank squads, there's nothing too positive to say about the state of invasions. You don't gain as much benefit from invading as you used to.
>>334810516
>>334810464
is that within a certain time period? Or will you inevitably have to use the circlet at some point in your DS3 time? Because that sounds really dumb.
another thing about online pvp, Darkmoon/Blue sentinels being exactly the same is really weird, even with the same rewards. I guess Darkmoon is meant to be the "upgrade" to the sentinels?
Also, using purging stones is simply curing the cosmetic hollow effect, correct? I guess it's logical that Yuria wouldn't sell the very item that would fuck over her own questline
>>334808142
IT's not really an invasion if you're sat at the start of 4-1.
>>334809121
I just dried finger and it pops up almost immediately.
I rolled a new character last night, was doing some settlement invasions at SL 20.
I ran into this guy with the nameless king set. This is NG, not + or anything.

>>334808274

>>334811382
If you summon someone through the password system and they're significantly higher level that the Host, their level and upgrades are scaled down to something roughly similar to the host.
>>334808142
I hereby award you the Stupidest Poster award of the day
>>334811270
If you got more out of it I'd be more willing to play the long fight with the 3/4 man gank squads more often.
If they haven't cleared the level it's not that bad in some places. But mostly it takes too long and has too little reward, if it get a big chunk of souls or something I'd be willing to spend 30 minutes whittling down 3 people's worth of estus solo. People can't play patient so you can get so many easy hits in.
>>334809204
>There should be a sign that can only summon phantoms if you have no allies with you IMO, dunno if something like that is already in the game.
The Dragon Dildos in Dark Souls 1 did that. They couldn't be summoned if you had any sort of phantom.
Does III even have a Dragon covenant? I know there's a transformation but I haven't heard anyone say a thing about any covenant.
>rage quitter getting BTFO by From

>>334811713
Red Soapstone removes the purpose.
>>334811680
t. guy with always 3 phantoms around
>>334811585
>Does III even have a Dragon covenant?
Nope. Instead we got an extra Forest covenant that nobody asked for.
Oh and they took Dark Souls 1 matchmaking completely offline so we can't even go back to that. Buy our new game like good gaijin.
>>334811713
Well that's a bummer, it WAS good for people who just wanted some fair fights after all.
>>334811756
You can and will still get summoned by ganksquads with the soapstone. Dragon invasions were guaranteed to be 1-on-1.
>>334811543
Also this + the gank squads has made me grief MORE not less, the only other "griefing" I ever did was 3-2 stormruler invasions, and the odd scraping spear in demons souls because, well they're funny.
Bring back scraping spear and stormruler.
>>334807562
jus use a black crystal
>>334811825
>Oh and they took Dark Souls 1 matchmaking completely offline
Wait, what? Did they do that on PC? I can still invade on the PS3.
>>334808378
He is wrong. The ring only makes your character a white phantom. The sign and title of "Mad Phantom" still remains.
>>334811826
Maybe they'll patch the soapstone. I don't understand why people do it other than by accident. There's no reward for killing a red soapstone phantom
>>334811905
Yup. Since the day after 3 launched.

>>334811947
griefing.
I thought people played Souls because it was le epicly hard XD
But everyone is crying that the game is too challenging.
What gives?

>>334807562
I dont think casuals enjoy being invaded every 10 seconds either. I know I was getting sick of invaders after killing the same fucking guy for the 5th time
>>334811984
Ahh fuck, that's really gay. I was really looking forward to playing it online when I finally got my PC built. Have they said anything about it yet?
I really hope they don't do this with the console versions as well.
>>334811984
Holy shit. I'm fucking mad.
I stretched my budget to buy 3 because I couldn't fucking connect to anybody in 1 and wanted to do some multiplayer.
>>334808589
Almost as retarded as OP.
>>334810667
>man this game is unfair because I have to face multiple people

Get gud
>>334811438
>>334811473
>>334811516
Ah that must be it.
Since when I killed all his phantom friends and he ran back and re-summoned the guy with FUGS.
Then another blue showed up and I died. It was funny seeing the host go full panic when I killed his friend.
>Dunk a red sign in Kiln
>Get summed for a fight club 90% of the time
Occasionally I find solo people using Dark Swords who think they can take on an unarmed man, that's where I usually get my tongues from.

That's probably their intention.

First the green butt plug and now this.
You DS3fags really made my night today. Thank you.
>>334811984
no wonder I haven't been able to do any invasions bro-op or get invaded while running around everywhere as human, I just thought it was dead because of DaS 3. I need to pay attention to things more
>summon a purple
>they get slaughtered by the level
I have never seen a more retarded souls covenant than this.
>>334812187
>easy
>host has 40% hp advantage
Just bring back the DeS system where the host had an extra ring slot and 25% hp advantage. And for that matter just make weapons behave like DeS too because it still has the best reactivity in the series, the fact greatswords don't knockback anymore is actually a travesty.
>>334812264
I wonder if this is From's doing or if Bamco is being a bunch of cunts.
>>334807562
>be playing through the game with Bros
>get invaded
>gank that faggot cause all we wanna do is play through the fucking game
Eat shit invaders
>>334807562
>he doesn't know you generate this things like once every day or two
Temporary punishment, stop being a bitch
>>334812187
Except the host can easily turn the level enemies against you since the seed of giants are back and really easy to obtain, not to mention the more estus, friends and health advantage.
>>334812343
It doesn't really matter. If it's From, fuck them, and if it's Bamco, fuck them and From for letting them. It's complete bullshit.

It's not that bad.
>>334812308
30% hp, full flasks, but also enemy agro. Usually a lower level and earlier gear than you. Also the better players are usually the ones invading, so being the invader is usually easy mode. Summoning invaders is more challenging most of the time.
>>334811984
Wow, that's shit.
>>334808142
dude your bait has S scaling
>>334808790
I always bow/wave to invaders because I'm always in the "Help me, blue guys!" covenant. so naturally I'm going to buy time for the inter-dimensional Po-po, or in rare cases, the white/gold phantom I summoned to pop in. It has the side effect of seeming polite, so there's no reason not to.
Also, a big fuck you to the red phantoms who run through the entire level and sit next to the boss door, hoping that I die to the monsters before reaching them. It'd be one thing if they ambushed me or tried to pull mobs to help, but the waiting at the end shit isn't fun or interesting. It also has the effect of giving me another phantom to aid in clearing the zone, so I don't really get it.
>>334812456
>easy to obtain
Unless you know something I don't, they are a late game item. Plus why can't you handle a few easy enemies?
>>334812657
Nobody on PC does. They've made a modification to the steam Config files to prevent any watchmaking occurring.
I can't even get online to begin with.
Is anyone else having this problem on consoles?
Stuck on 1.03/1.02, the game will not connect to the server and get the calibrations/updates at all. Was hoping to do some Online at least before I reached Lothric Castle.
>>334809301
>Says hosts are at disadvantage.
Who actually believes this? Faggots, that's who. Faggots and retards.
>>334811984
M-Maybe From's just so incompetent with their PC ports that releasing 3 and activating its online components fucked up 1's online, they had to shut it down, and they're going to fix it soon?
>>334812874
Wait, so this really is 100% intentional on their part?
How does even matchmaking work in this game? Last night I got invaded by a fucker in endgame gear while I was only level 20 and just killed the second boss and barely did any damage to him. It was kinda bollocks desu
>>334812657
Nameless King is stated to have sided with the dragons and is the god of war in the world of Dark Souls (similar to Ares as Gwyn is similar to Zeus as the king of Gods). Fraam is most famous for going against Gwyn and siding with the dragons during the war, his sworn enemy, and like any other offspring of Gwyn, was probably a god of some sort.
>>334812856
once you unlock it, you can get one right after killing a invader. pretty easy
>>334812945
>Wait, so this really is 100% intentional on their part?
Considering that if it were accidental it would take them literally 2 keystrokes to change back? Most likely.
So what do you expect to become the next epic giantdad-tier memebuild to be?No, I'm not asking so I can steal it :^)
>>334812646
All of Nameless King's shit describes that he was once a god of war, heir of lightning but he ditched it to ally with dragons
>>334812646
According to the description of his Soul;
>The Nameless King was once a dragon-slaying god of war, before he sacrificed everything to ally himself with the ancient dragons.
>>334813150
Nothing. It's just going to be R1 spam like Dark Souls 2 was.
>>334812657
Whoops meant to post to >>334812646
My bad, anon
So does the password system work the same as it did in bloodborne?
As in can I summon a friend who is way over leveled or help a friend who is underleveled
>>334810728
It's just that they are super whiny about fucking everything. I can't stand when Red Phantoms comes in my world but you don't see me making threads about it when I'm trying to go through a world and I get jumped by two Farron Watchdogs or Gray spirits or whatever happens in the game. I just deal with it or lose. The only thing that annoys me is the waste of time when they run away because they are losing and hide behind everything.
>>334813045
Still a late game item. Most people probably start with the life ring or fire gem.
>>334809246
>boobs are for faggots

The pain is real, I thought it was just abandoned because I couldn't see any messages anywhere
>>334812579
What movie is this?
So where is the most popular area for pvp at SL60
>>334808056
I DC a ton as a grape, I spawn in, find the host, and lead them to the next bonfire, defending them from Reds along the way.
Is this white ring thing going to fuck me over?
>>334810728
Pvpfags always complain about something, biggest minority in the game wants everything to be catered to them.
guys how do I git gud? Im actually doing okay vs 3 phantoms because mobs hit like truck and I use them to my advantage. But when its 1v1 I mostly get shreked. I cant kill host fast enough he always manages to roll away and insta heal. We trade blows and I simply die because I have only half of his estuses chugs.
>>334813420
For pvp?
Try using items like llyods talisman and inflict status ailments like poison, chances are he doesn't have a moss clump on him at the ready so he'd have to pause and put it on.
Seriously no one fucking uses items, you have all these slots dude put on some buffs.
>>334813420
Those talismans that stop people from using estus, as soon as you see him going to heal throw that shit in his face.
>>334813351
Anor Londo. Specifically right after Pontiff if you want 1v1 honourabur dueling.
>>334808142
>Rules were stablished in Demon's Soul and all invasions were supposed to be 1 on 1 honorable fair fights because it is more fun.
>>334813420
You can't trade hits, you have to get him to waste flasks. It's impossible to punish flask use in this game without ranged items so just play carefully and try not to get hit. It's fucking garbage but that's this games pvp in a nutshell.
>>334813058
So why only do this for the PC version and not the console versions? Not everybody on PC can afford a new $400 graphics card needed to run the new game, just like how not everyone on consoles can afford a $400 new toy to play the new game with. Some people just want to play the older titles, whether it's their only option or not.
I legitimately don't understand this. Is it just because they can't force it on console users as easily?
>>334812579
Best kind of WebMs
>>334809667
I tracked your IP address and the fbi is on its way pedo.
>>334813420
Find a better weapon. I use my great hammer, so the host has to chug 6 flasks by the time I chug one. 1 strait sword hit doesn't make up for the two hits that almost kills the fucker.
>>334808142
>Rules were stablished in Demon's Soul and all invasions were supposed to be 1 on 1 honorable fair fights because it is more fun

>>334807562
Amazing false flagging OP. Any invader whose not retarded would have just black crystaled. Well baited. 7/10 it's okay.
>>334813656
A sub $200 card can run the game at 60 fps with higher settings. My 960 has no problems with the game.
>>334813420
DaS3 has various mechanics that favour gank squads, so getting gud isn't enough this time around. You'll need to get creative with dickbag tactics and ways to separate people if you want to fight them. Actually trying to fight 3v1 requires at least two of them to be channeling extreme retardation.

>>334813937
I'm not even that high a level yet. I purposefully stayed at level 19 with 27 intelligence so that I can roast packs of newbs in undead village. Literally, nobody knows how to deal with the magic greatsword or hidden weapon. And Heavy arrow takes away half their health. Feels great.

What are the rules again? Invaders are there to murder, not complain when someone has backup to avoid getting murdered. Its not a duel. You are a killer. The other player has something to lose. The invader does not. People need to learn that this is NOT a fucking MLG game, the invasions system is fucking GANK system not some kind of tourney with rules and regulations.

Only casuals can't handle gank squads, and only faggots crystal out. Good job on being a casual faggot.
