I've never played a Souls game before 3. Is this supposed to happen?
>>336760861
There are NSC phantom invasions.
I just made a critical animation thread and it got deleted by mods. We arent allowed to do those anymore?
>get invaded
>invader has the same armor and weapon as you
>>336761234
>parry the host
>connection error occurred
the first person who ever invaded me was a japanese katana user with fallen knight pisspants armor
>>336761968
the first person i invaded was someone with full ornstein's and dragonslayer spear, while i'm still using cleric robes and an unupgraded broadsword in undead settlement
i beat him with a pixel of health and he runs away, chugs estus like a madman and summons two phantoms to beat my ass (one of which dies to dogs anyway)
in fact, looking back MOST of who i invaded early game consisted of people with endgame gear and full gank squads
>>336758532
god fucking damn that happened to me earlier this week
I was so pissed I just used rest in front of the bonfire and let him kill me, not like it mattered at that pointtake the stupid shackle you cunt
>>336761234
It's even weirder when you use a mixed set
I invaded someone using dark ring and we were both wearing thief mask and cleric's set
>>336758263
>It's an 'invaders are butthurt that ruining someone's game is hard' thread
>>336762749
when I meet twinks in settlement I try to trick them into this one jump right above the bridge underside bonfire
Sometimes it kills them, sometimes it just leaves them at 20% health
A more reliable method is leading them into the barrels and suiciding
>helping people complete areas and kill bosses for sunbro medals
>invaded by retards who expect everyone to fight honorable 1v1s when they just want to get through the fucking swamp
>>336763128
Why not just place your sign at the boss? it would be a lot faster then
Do you get medals for killing invader's?
>>336763087
i still get the triple-lightning-estoc gangbang squads later on, but i'm cruising at 55 at later irithyl and there's a lot more individuals, even with me going as a mound-maker
>>336763283
irithyll is easy to invade in, especially if they haven't gotten to the church yet
the fire witches are very hard to deal with when there is an invader on your tail
>they fast roll in full Havel with a great sword and shield
>>336763128
Just keep placing your sign outside Yhorm's room you'll have 30 in no time

Anyway, can you parry it's running attack?
>>336763968
Yeah
>>336758038
best version
>Invade
>Host is a mage
>We bow and begin the duel
>He dies in one hit
>>336764336
If thats true he was a nuke mage, you wouldve died in one hit yourself.
>get invaded
>it's a memerHe parried literally every one of my attacks and just kept clapping
>>336758263
>he waves
>2 phantoms appear out of nowhere when I approach him
>parry into electric boogaloo bundle both of them
>host disconnects as I approach him while his phantoms disappear
I really dont get why people go for a third hit, that's parry bait right there.
>get invaded
>they try to lure you to a corridor so you can't roll
>>336764485
SOMEBODY
>>336760861
it helps to at least know a few things about the series
>place sign for duel
>host name is Artorias
>full Havel armor, shield and rapier
>heals right after i bleed him
:*)
>wearing the obscuring ring
>sporting 60 int on a sub-SL60 character
>invade someone
>aim soul stream at the host from a mile away
>evaporate him
Sure it doesn't usually work, but when it does it's hysterical
Especially if he has phantoms, their reactions are priceless

correction "damm sorry ):"
>>336763528
i'm doing an SL99 iron tarkus cosplay (astora greatsword) and with 38 vit, havel's + favor rings, i'm at like 68% load. When i get the +2 rings i'll be able to pull some vit and put it into damage
>>336760710

I'm afraid someone else needs to do the stepping up!

All these tongues and nothing to use em on since my build is perfect.
>invade as sunnigger
>come up praising the sun
>3 phantoms charging heavy attacks
Why don't peopke just turn off online mode?
>>336766207
Then they can't cheese bosses with 3 phantoms
>>336766207
Because then they'd have to fight the mobs and bosses alone.
>>336766207
Because people are retarded and forget that you can do it

Well shit, git gud I guess

how could they do this to me i was just trying to have a good time and murder them
Serious question, what is the reason behind the popularity of fallen knight's set?
I think it's ok set but I don't see why it get so popular and turned into a meme set.
>>336766683
thanks doc
>invade as dragonbro
>host finally using a shield like a dumbshit
>dragon roar and OHKO
>>336766791
1: trenchcoat
2: it's one of the first full sets you can get that's some kind of actual armor
>>336766791
It's got decent absorbtion, is easy to get, and it's efficient to wear with most classes' base vitality while maintaining an equip load just under 70%
>>336766791
it's probably the most straightforwardly good mid armor that's easily accessible; in this game where you start with no hp, but heavy armor is useless because no poise, it's a very popular option for less experienced or imaginative players
overrepresentation means people are more likely to see someone in fallen armor do stupid shit, which means they're more likely to associate fallen armor with stupid people
>>336766791
Its a good early game set, that's why.
>get summoned after pontiff
>host is standing still, looking out at the distance
>turns to face you when you get near
>bows
worse than katana users
>>336766791
It's like the Drangleic set in DS2. Pretty good stats at first glance and you get it early.
>summoned as a purple
>host thinks I'm there to help him
>proceeds to bow and run to mobs
>>336766683
Reminds me of Ao Oni. That's pretty terrifying.
>>336766791
you get it pretty close to the start of the game. before that is the warriors starting set, mirrah armor, and bandit armor which the player are probably already super familiar with/aren't excited by. near the start of the game players don't feel like they got many options and they'd think it looks the best. i know i did before i got the legion set and used the knight helm with it for the rest of the entire game
>>336767102
That, or sitting in Dragon's Way pose looking out at the mountains, down in the fight pit. Only gets up when you emote first.
Fucking weebs
It's always a Dark Sword user or Bestoc, too.
>>336767317
>Dark Sword user or Bestoc
>weebs
What
>>336767363
Weeb is a way of life, not a weapon
>>336766791
it looks cool
its early on
its easy to get
>>336766791
Looks cool.

>>336767317
>not running a pure glasscannon mage with obscuring ring and one shotting them with CSS as their stupid RPing ass sits there
>>336767574
These cunts are so annoying in gank squads.
>>336767574
I love the idea of sorcery, but it's just so... bleh, in actual practice. Spells are disastrously easy to dodge, the only real effective spell is the halo of orbs that shoot when you look at the target, and even then its easy to have them miss.
>>336767673
yeah its fun as heck being that faggot who sits in the back and one shots people then running away
You people are disgusting elitist pricks.
>>336767726
youd be surprised at how terrible the average person is at actually avoiding spells and not putting themselves into a situation where theyre liable to get baited into them
i probably lose 9/10 invasions and its only because i get run down by 3 people
>>336767740
I never get any satisfaction out of ganking.
I do like invading people with obscuring ring and just shooting dragonslayer arrows. I never kill them, but it's fun being annoying.
Then I just roll around if they get to me with thorns on.
>>336767767
Don't be mad your pants are filled with piss. Roll attack into my caistus more.
>>336767767
say that to my face fucker not on the high wall and see what happens
>>336767832
lose 1/10 invasions*
>>336767726
Spells can be annoying to dodge in lag because you'll dodge through it on your screen but will still get hit by the lingering lag hitbox and die.
>Irythill Short Sword
It's like Drake's Sword 2.0
>>336758038
> its a hologram
>>336767943
Isn't that deep battleaxe? Or raw astoras?
>>336767767
found the estoc user
Doing full luck build right now.
Going to use Anri's, but want a good secondary, mostly for chasing down chuggers. Any suggestions for a hollow infused weapon?
>think farron dart is shit because of the damage
>give it a go in pvp
>its fast as fuck and its even easier to punish people with than throwing knives are
you can just clip someone down with it between any of their attacks, its great
>>336767943
Ive never once seen someone use this. Frostbite is the worst pvp effect by far.
Anyone else been using the Dragonslayer Axe? The one from the Irithyll invader after you kill him twice. Thing hits like a truck and the lightning damage is solid too. Better damage than Dark Sword and with a better weapon art. I'm in love.
Why do edgelords like the fallen knight set so much? I get the katana thing, but there's nothing overly edgy about the set. Is it the hood?
>>336768101
Since when did people use drake sword in PvP?
>>336768154
A hood that shadows your face, yes.
>>336768154
Yes, the hood and the robes.
>>336768173
I was refering to the frost blade when I said PvP. My bad if it came across otherwise.
>>336768218
>>336768246
I like the Abyss Watchers set. Am I an edgelord?
>>336768291
Right, but he said "drake sword 2.0"
>>336768154
>hood with a helm that covers your face
>big trenchcoat with physic effects
>rusty dirty look
>good stats
>armor is black
It's not hard to figure out why it's so popular with people who have no imagination.
>>336768318
Not unless you slowly walk away when killing players.
>>336768318
I love that set too.
>>336768095
Might give it a try, are you using the normal version or great version?
>>336768405
It doesn't even look good to me anymore. Ever since I looked at the helm visor and saw a duck's bill that's slightly open, it's all I can see anymore.
>>336768046
A spear of some sort maybe?
>get invaded in the archives
>walk back outside since I don't even know the area

kek, I love when this happens
