So this just happened. Doing some invasions when I find this faggot with his three sunfags...
>>336302895
BUT...
>>336302895
Ok.
>>336302935
Turns out they totally let him charge alone and die.
>>336302895
Just casually doing some low level invasions with your Gundyr Halberd and Hornet Ring.
>>336303038
It's the Knight Slayer Ring, and there's no such thing as low-lvl invasion like in DS1. Most of the time, and I mean like 96% of the time, I find other people with boss gear and/or 2-3 phantoms, so it's k.
>>336303028
I fucking love when shit like this happens.
Godspeed, OP.
>>336303815
Why do people need so much help to clear this game? These idiots were actually dying to the dogs
That's okay OP, I was invading people at level 6, and hot skippidy do I guess casuals and normies have discovered how to give themselves whatever the fuck items because I invaded:
>2 guys with full Havels
>3 guys with washing poles
>1 guy with dancer swords
>3 guys in full Dark Knight gear
At level, fucking 6 in fucking Lothric.
>>336304697
>apply password
>summon friends into game
>they retain their items,but their stats are de-leveled accordingly.
>>336304165
because dark souls is now normie souls
you get every bro-gamer and their girlfriends playing this game, right after a session of madden and they pound a few PBR's though
because its the "dark souls" of dark souls xD
>>336304697
That's pretty much normal by now
>>336304916
Either that or you can just drop armor and weapons as long as they're not upgraded.
You cannot drop upgrade materials, covenant-related items or boss souls, but you can drop boss gear.
>>336303028
thats wonderful. the look of betrayal on his actual face must have been amazing
>>336305523
yeah, a nice to happen for a change.
Instead of everyone jumping on you at once
I invaded in the catacombs of Carthus and ran into a host and his phantom in the hall with the second ball of skeletons. A combination of using the safety indents and ball to keep myself separated from the phantom and staggering the host just in time to get wrecked by the skeleton ball while they were trying to r1 spam me led to the hosts demise and a very satisfying victory. Why don't hosts and phantoms ever bother employing strategies like this?
>>336305105
>because dark souls is now normie souls
>incade as an aldrich faithful
>"invading the world of COD master"
Killed him easily in the water reserve, just kicked him down the ladder.
I swear successful invasions are way easier in DS3. You don't even have to be that good at the game. A lot of people playing are really shit at it and will be easily killed.
>>336305862
They kind of do. Earlier tonight 3 fags tried to make use of the giant archer, but they themselves got caught on it and I ended up bulldozering the host off the cliff.
>>336302895
>Throw dead blue through doors for dramatic entrance
I really miss "well what is it?"
>>336306364
Holy fucking shit, dat entrance
>>336303815
>>336305523
OP sucking his own dick...
>>336307542
y u so bitter?
>>336307954
Why are you so proud m8? You won a 1v1 get over it, fuck.
>>336302895
>>336302935
>>336303028
seems like a fight club situation to me so i guess it was his turn to fight the invader
people do that kind of shit just to 1v1
>>336308162
Totally missing the point, dude.
3 phantoms let him charge and die instead of the usual gang rape and I felt like sharing the fun. Jeez...

Cool to hear, we befriended before release planning to do co op later on. I've only seen some of his pics he posted to steam but that's the guy.
>>336309374

>>336306364

>>336310096
Well, I am polite, but I also come to fucking kill you, one way or another
Also, tfw the host knows he's fucked

i fucking sit when then host gets invaded and there are retard red phantoms that go for me
and of course me and the host end up fighting the faggot outnumbered

That poor blue.

I'm so baffled, it happened like 15 times, good thing I had a Raw infusion, the Phantom could never save them from me in time.
>>336311043
Just how many berserk references did they manage to cram in this time around?
>>336311528
Now that you mention it, how come I see blues in almost every single fucking invasion and I've never been summoned? Also, never been summoned as Aldrichfag or Furfag. Had to farm a shit-ton of covenant items to get 100% achievements
>>336311715
>never been summoned as Aldrichfag
What? It's pretty active for me. What SL are you and what's the value of your highest upgraded weapon?
>>336311715
Too many blueberries, not enough bluebabbies to summon them all
it's very much supply and demand, there's not enough WoB players to summon all the blueberries
>>336306364
What armor is that cape from?
>>336311715
Aldrich basically dies after SL90/ +8 - +9 weapon
you will get maybe one invade an hour, if that
>>336311961
I tried Aldrichs for a long while with my 1st char, capped at 125 with +10 weapons.
My 2nd char is 22 with +2 weapons, but only tried Blueberries so far (still no summon)
>>336312013
Actually that does make sense
>>336311961
man
i keep forgetting about weapon upgrades when it comes to online play
i guess i have to work on a duplicate
anyone tried watchdogs? Ive had the emblem equipped for days and no summons
I just broke into the 40s though, so i may be too high leveled
>>336312363
I think it's the undead legion one
>>336302895
said the twink
>get invaded while emberred alone in a non-covenant-territory
>always play hide and seek with the white branch
Still to this day I haven't been found.
For the bullshit this game makes me go through to find hosts to invade just to be flanked by 2 phantoms I won't be giving anyone the satisfaction of having me caught with my pants down. Good luck finding me. I've got a laptop to kill time.
>>336306364
TOP KEK
god fucking damnit not even that weird ember thing knows what do
>>336302895
Nice armor.That butt...
>>336312483
I'm exactly SL40 and get summoned every 1-3 minutes in the swamp
>>336312687
>twink
This ain't no DS1 anymore, bro
>>336312483
lvl 25-35 and +3 weapon is ideal.
It really slows down at the high 30s
>>336312870
That's exactly what I planned when I called her Miss ButtCheeks
>>336312483
I've noticed it to be quite active at higher levels, like around the 100s

>>336313575
It will never be the same
did they buff the dragon on high wall? I just started a new guy on the steam version
>>336313575
I always use the Welcome gesture its almost the same
>>336312715
I think I've run into you. A LOT. Several times I've invaded a world with every fucking mob dead and the host nowhere to be found. At least I get to kill a Blue and then fuck off.
>>336310096
Well I try but usually the invader runs up on a nigga whenever I do.
>get invaded by aldritch faithful
>he sprints up to me with greatsword

>he runs back into enemies
>get pinged by a fireball, he runs through his entire stamina on r1s and kills me

why do retards think they're good
why do invaders think it's ok to drink first
why do invaders whine about seeds if they don't mind using enemies to their advantage in a no-lose opt in situation for them
invadefags are the worst
aaaaaaand this is why I do what I do. Because of faggots like these who gang-rape you 4v1 and still have the fucking nerve to do the point down gesture
>>336314569
Sit down fool. Also I like the hornet ring for slaughtering host phantom parties.
If FROM is going to keep way of blue, there needs to be some kind of incentive for players to use it. There's billions of dorkmoons and sentinels but no bluefags to summon them.
Maybe way of blue could grant embers or souls or some other reward for summoning a cop and beating the invaders?
>>336309910
I love it when people bitch about fight clubs. They are usually the ones who play offline. How else do you intend to git gud? Or will you always have phantoms to save you like a cuck?
>>336314569
undead settlement is a garbage area for invasions
you're just asking for anal rape you sadist

>>336314403
Dude earlier today I was invading Cathedral to a guy that had a finger going, seed of giants and 3 phantoms
A second red joined me but got rekt, I killed 3 phantoms in the clusterfuck graveyard and then went to chase down the host as he summons another guy. I kill that guy almost instantly and the host still fucking runs and summons another guy, I kill him while fending off the host and then finally get into a game of chase with the host who is literally cutting laps of the chapel chugging estus and trying to pull more summons but luckily he keeps failing AND THEN a mound maker invades and runs up and gang bangs me with the host!
Ofc I received a point down gesture
>>336312382
Thats way too high. 50-60 with +6 or under seems to be the best for aldrich
>>336303028
Good, I do the same most of the time. I try to fight the phantom by myself but then the host ALWAYS comes in to gangbang so then I just sit out and let him fight. After seeing the quality of a huge majority of invaders, if he dies then he wasn't good enough for my help.
Peep my PVP

>>336310096
Invaders are usually just trying to have fun. It's the hosts who bitch about "muh progress" and need three phantoms plus a giant seed for them to feel like it's a fair fight.
>>336319491
Not at all. And you will HAVE to do it anyway if you want all achievements. You can't collect all rings unless you go all the way to NG++, so you might as well hurry up an move on to the next journey.
does NG+ lock you out of PVP with NG players?
I fought a twink earlier and it felt like he was probably using a Ring of steel protection +1 based on his armor and how much my physical attacks were doing.

I farmed 200 dregs with Aldrich's Faithful over two days. I was SL 60 with +4 DSGA. As soon as I slabbed it to +5 I went from instant queues to one every 1.5 hours.
What other people said about WoB/Darkmoon is accurate. Not enough scrubs summoning them. It was just as broken in DS2.
i am trying to use ceastus and broken straight sword.
needless to say, it is not going well for me

>>336306364
As an invader, killing a bluefag is the best feeling in the world. I can't even imagine the fear that must be going through the host's head when they watch their buttbuddy sentinel get wasted like that.
>>336320383
caestus is cool
and i just wanna see if i can kil lsomeone with broken sword
>>336302895

>>336303028
hey, i was one of the sunbros in the back
the host was on mic losing his shit while he was getting raped it was hilarious
"lol look at this guy over here"
the dumbass actually turned around and ran towards the OP alone and got slaughtered in 2 hits and then goes
"dude guys why'd you guys all stand around"
stupidest part about it was he took the sewer shortcut from the bridge bonfire so there were fucking four of us fighting those poor rats
good show OP it was my first summon of the night and it was fucking hilarious
>>336320438
I specially love it when you still have not met the host and you encounter a Blue eager to die
>Be Blue
>Help some guy in Undead Settlement
>Guy in Full Fallen King Armor invades

Gee I wonder how you got those items :^)
Why are redfags mostly hackers?
>>336320713
look at that; what are the fucking odds??
>>336302895
Here's a genuine question. Why 3 summons? If I ever summon, I only get one guy. After that, the health scale is too much to deal with on enemies.
>>336321024
this tee bee aych familia.
>>336320227
But at least in DS2 you could use cracked blue eyes. Its really stupid that they won't bring those items back and instead have three autosummons that don't work.
>>336321024
because even if that happens the host can sit back and never get good at the game
Wannabe Blue Sentinel here. Seems fun, but how do I get summoned? I have it equipped always.
I just dress as iron tarkus and try to help as much people as i can. I just can't murder other players.

You don't get summoned. Period. I've played for 55 hours and been summoned once across my two characters.
You're actually better off farming knights.
I wish invading as a purple let you still kill mobs.
>>336321453
You don't. I've managed to be summoned two whole times in my 65ish hours (both to Untended Grave for some reason, but that's not relevant).
>>336321797
I got to level 140 with a +10 weapon and got summoned very often, got all 30 darkmoon proofs in one night.
>>336321898

>>336320845
Do you mean Fallen Knight Set? It's found right before Fallen Keep. Lightning Spear is above the Farron bonfire and only requires 20 faith. Lightning stake is in smouldering lake below the catacombs (which is right after farron keep) which isn't much further ahead if you know what you're doing.

Probably because everyone putting time and effort into invasions played the previous dark souls, from a time it was 1v1 and no chugging but now its ponyland where a bunch of kids gank like theres no tomorrow chugs on red named pvps and when people complain about ganks they post shit like this in the forums
>if you want pvp use red soapstone
>u invaded u gon get fucked
thats why you must resort to the cheapest tactics possible on ds3.
The good era for invasions is gone.

>I don't PVP
Figures.
>>336321024
Because it can be fun if you use it in certain areas with invaders popping up left and right as you try and get through the level
>>336322571
the worst part about invasions in this one are the level-adjusted passworded summons
these guys might have reduced stats but they still have later game gear and 8 estus each fuck that
>>336322571
Invading is at least kinda hurtful
>haha you have 3 less estus now and you can't get it back unless you banish your summons
>>336320845
just because you're not good enough to beat the game at low SL doesn't mean everyone is.
respect the twink.

Got about 10 minutes in so far. DO YOU EVER USE THAT CROSSBOW? Saw so many times you could have killed with it but sprinted in for an attack instead.

why are whips so FUCKING GARBAGE in ds3? where's my 360 spin whip attack? wheres my two whip tickler? where's my spotted whip with 500 poison?
the whips entire moveset now is just straight line forward attack and its shit.
