Who /invade/ here? I've been fucking shit up in the Grand Archive all day, so if you've gotten your ass kicked by a guy in Silver Knight/Drang Armor using a black blade than you can thank me :^)
Where are you invading pham? And luck?
>>335637638
SL16 Undead Settlement.
>>335637638
>>335639861
>And luck?
50-50. Often they have two summons with them, and I may kill a summon but then the host runs off back to the bonfire. I usually just bide my time (and wait and wait for them to get more summons) and let them run out of estace slowly.
Sometimes I invade and there's a mad phantom, that is fun. Sometimes I managed to beat all 3 (rarely).
---
Just to add, summoning two+ mad phantoms in to your game is the only way to co-op.

where the fuck is the invasion covenant.
>>335641238
Moundmakers if you want to retain sanity, Rosaria's if you hate yourself. Farron's and Aldrich's if you kind of like the idea of both but never want to be summoned in for invasions.
>>335641238
There is no specific invasion covenant, you get a specific reward depending on which covenant you're in
That being said, a guy in Rosaria's covenant is the one that leads you to the uncracked red eye orb

Park your pvp character in the settlement and move on guys, it just gets super lame after that.
I like that guitar riff when you use the red orb. Makes me feel like a badass
>In NG+, still haven't summoned for a boss/going through a level
Still haven't fucking died to an invader. I don't even Estus (unless they do, in which case I chug to the death, faggot)

Not true man, I had great experiences invading all day in Irithyl and now the Grand Archives. It literally takes me 3 seconds to find a world to invade
>>335641607
Is this true? I'm almost 50 hours in and I still haven't moved from the Undead Settlement because I'm having so much fun invading.

lvl 20, plus 2 weapon. Farron's Faggots at the swamp. Crushing kids with the great club as shrek. If they want to act like cunts and go 2v1 that can be easily rectified with the mob layout. Alternatively, I can just waste a little time and more Farrons Faggots are guaranteed to join the fun for an even fight.
Also, you'd be surprised at how convincing a plus 2 crossbow is to get someone to stop being a pussy and actually attack you rather than waiting back for you to do a suicide run. Just plug away at them with a crossbow for 80 damage (That's like 10 to 20 percent health at that level). Plug them a few times and they'll actually attack you.

I could almost hear the gears turning before the mad phantom did him in.
>>335637638
I'm not amazing at PvP so I've been stuck in a trend of getting my ass handed to me because every invasion is me vs 2 or 3 other people with estocs and shit.
Does this game segregate its playerbase in NG, NG+, NG++? Or is it all just Weapon memory and Soul Level.
Just got my 30th vertebrae in a fightclub

don't worry, your ban is coming thic fag
You're not cool for invading, in fact, you're a cunt for doing so. This is coming from someone who wins almost every invasion. I've lost like 2 or 3 if you combine every Souls game, even Bloodborne, but granted, I only got invaded once there, and I didn't fight the guy, because he invaded me just before Mergo's Wet Nurse. Guy called me a pussy for "Running away."
Why does everyone fucking suck in this game? Not pvp wise but pve. I summoned two people for the Dancer and they both died from shitty rookie mistakes. Same thing with Aldritch. Shits annoying
>>335643297
>This is coming from someone who wins almost every invasion.
Sure anon.
>>335643297
Because you are a pussy. You fucking scared little dweeb. I bet you use a fucking white branch to hide in a corner and blend with the environment just like in real life you little shit. Do something with your fucking life and stop wasting everybody's time.

I'm not trying to pvp, but every person who has invaded me has been a fucking scrub. And I always thought I was fucking terrible at pvp.
You've been fucking shit up all day?
Good for you man!
Me? Just busy getting banked by 1 host + 2 phantoms!
Not even laying a summon sign works! Gankers just summon me!
>>335643685

What makes it better than the Short Bow? My Short Bow does more damage, I know damage falloff and stuff but I generally never need to range over such distances for it to matter.

>>335644018
Past the Pontiff bonfire?
That's where most of the ganking has gone on. I also get ganked before the final boss.
>>335641102
LOL that video just shows how much of a faggot u are.
>>335642008
You still get lots of invasions, but the quality drops immensely.
As people progress and get invaded more, they look up memebuilds and fall to dodge spam while summoning three phantoms as way of blue with giant seed on.
The last six invasions I have done in Irithyll have been four man groups camped in the church where mobs refuse to enter as the host pops seed then branch and three sunfags sit at the door with weapons ready to go.
That's just a small glimpse at the faggotry awaiting you past Settlement.
Gonna play the game after delaying it for a bit, is online still working properly for the pirated version?
>>335639861
You can go up 4 levels anon, the invasion range is +/- 20
>>335637638
Been invading after pontiff and used the dragonslayer greatbow. If it's the host + some phantoms I go up in the tower after the big courtyard with the giants and pimp my tower with some of those colored stones.
After I've pimped my tower I proceed to shoot my enemies with the greatbow and hold my watchtower. If I'm lucky they'll get mad and rush up to me and I can get some glorious aid from my shiny knights that protects Anor londo.
If there's a fightclub going on I equip the "obscures wearer far away" ring and try to ruin their fun by shooting everyone and letting them search for me. Before I do this however I ususally draw a line with prism stones over the whole courtyard to show them that they are on my land and near my tower. After I get them to chase me I bait them over to the tower and proceed to shoot them with my majestic lightning greatarrows.
It's been great so far, I don't mind if they get me. I'm more doing it for the thrill/fun. I usually end up killing the host anyways because they get paniced and end up doing a wrong roll and rolls off the bridge/path.
It's nice being an asshole sometimes.
>>335637638
>mfw I disconnect whenever I get invaded

Oh. Well. I guess I'll try to get my level higher and upgrade my astora straight sword.
I've been trying to find a weapon that I like but every weapon that isn't a straight sword just feels so....I don't know the word to use.
>at a fight club
>watch some havel shitter get fucking destroyed by someone with the witch's locks
55 sl is nonstop invasions for aldrich faithful. Haven't lost a single match yet and most of the time, I've been fighting the host alone. A lot of victories are dependent on how powerful your build is, though. On my sl 95 astora gs pyormancer, I have mediocre hp and damage. I was killed in 4 hits by a chaos blade. It takes 3 hits with my slow ass sword to kill.

How to invade.
>>335645170
It does work
But only against players
Why
>>335645097
>critical battle
Why did they change the boss message to this?
>>335645170
Poise works, but it's not the same as it was.
Nobody can tell poise is working because everyone uses faggot ass katanas and straight swords.
Poise now functions as hyper armor during attacks. You notice it more when you use ultra weapons and very slow casting magic. Once your attack ends, poise no longer does anything. It's intended to allow you to attack through another player's attack, not to sit there and tank them like a faggot.
>>335645203
No, poise is disabled. It doesn't function, those numbers all read functionally as 0.
Hyperarmor has nothing to do with poise, only the type of weapon and attack you are currently doing.
>>335641102

>>335641954
Irithyll Dungeon is my favorite place to invade in.
Even gankers can't avoid that massivve HP drop and that hot iron rod attack.
>>335645559
running into mobs is the "host disconnect" of invading.
pussy ass bitch. :)
What's with the amount of people trying to parry fish in this game? It's insane. I don't remember it being this bad in 1 or 2.
Someone should set up a fightclub. Location is that place where Horace is.
>>335645664
Nah, dumb cowards who hide behind phantoms are unerringly shitty at the game. Easy to fool, easy to tool
>>335645669
Nah, it's the answer to gank squads. You don't want that to happen, don't try a 3v1 or we'll just make your life a living hell
>>335645683
Those guys are shitters who can't rely on backstab fishing anymore, so they spam L2. Easy to faint with charge attacks.
>>335645669
so by your logic, a lone invader SHOULD run into a zerg of four players?
>>335644319
Hopefully this fixes the sliding phantom bullshit.
>>335645819
It's understandable to do it against ganksquads to even the playing field, but I've seen dozens of invaders do that to me alone, or when I just have one phantom. At that point, nobody's having fun, and it's just wasting everybody's time - so why bother?
>>335644312
I heard poise is disable
>>335645683
Its funny too. Im a completionist, I farmed my pale tongues and Dregs in the same place, and 9/10 the person had a buckler.

Dont invade if you arent willing to fight 3 on 1. The game is what? 2 weeks old? You really expect the majority of people to not still summon?
>>335646056
Alright then, you're a fucking pussy, got it.
>>335645819
>"gank squads"
Why do you call it that?
Its a "on our way to co op the boss" squad, and you just had to show up and start complaining about what they are doing in their game.
Unless they are literally sitting around farming invaders it isnt a gank squad.
>>335645976
It is disabled. Maybe he likes looking at numbers go up that are functionally useless

>>335646148
the boss is being ganked in that case
>>335645819
This, I will waddle my ugly ass up to a bonfire to play slapstick and not even heal until host does, but the fucking moment another phantom appears, I dedicate my next hour to torturing their every step with mob abuse, dagger spam to open them up to mob attacks, chucking bombs and shit piles and putting gems by very corner to play with their paranoia while jumping on them from every rafter I can find. Pop a seed? Thanks, now my alluring skulls will lead everything for three rooms straight to you, dumb shit.
Fuck summoners.

Gundyr's Halberd, bonus points for it having amazing tracking and a near 360 swing arc on the weapon art.
>>335646148
a large majority of my invasions have been on a host with at least one phantom, and on many occasions two phantoms. Call it whatever you want, but with how gimped invaders are from the get-go it's fucking stupid to expect them to fight Sissy Bitch McGee and the Phantom Three on equal terms.
>fighting one of those giant crystal lizards in farron's keep

>>335646327
What do you fucking want? A signed invitation to fuck the host's ass whenever you come by? If you want decent 1v1, go to a fucking fightclub or lay down a summon sign. You still get your tongues/medals/etc, and you don't have to deal with ganksquads.
But if you're going to bitch about how somebody actually has backup when you barge into -their- game, you'd just being a cunt.

WOW WHAT THE FUCK, THIS GUY HAS NO HONOR, THIS IS BROKEN
>>335646537
Nobody is putting the blame on the host beyond the host being a faggot for running around with that many phantoms. The problem is that the game MATCHES you with massive parties as a preference, and that people honestly expect reds to just fight them without resorting to dickery.
>>335646519
Fuck you and your ganksquad. We're going to fuck up your day for being a huge faggot, because no one likes huge coward faggots.
Enjoy my maxed chaos fireball anytime you attack a mob. Enjoy that 850-1000 damage for every hit I get. No more estus for you, bitchboy with three summons.
>>335646557
Invasions continue long after the fire has died.
I invaded for a while using chaos barbed sword. I got my shot pushed in by katanas and other large weapons besides greatsword.s. I'm going to try chaos gotthart twins and see if I dare any better.

>>335646681
This, to be honest. It's not that I HATE huge faggot fucking cowards with three summons on a personal level. But it gets to the point where that is damn near every fucking invasion.
It's gotten to the point where I just want to be as cruel and shitty to them at every step of the way because I've been getting ganked for the last two hours. Now I've got to be just as shit to them just to stay on even footing with the biggest faggots in the game that I am constantly being matched against.

>but with how gimped invaders are from the get-go it's fucking stupid to expect them to fight Sissy Bitch McGee and the Phantom Three on equal terms.
So basically what youre saying is "I want to force someone into having a fair fight with me"
If you are invading, you have no right to complain about anything. You put yourself there knowing full well the majority of people are casuls who summon 2 others.
If you want a 1 on 1 put the red sign down. I cant feel bad for an invader who constantly gets 3 on 1's
>>335646910
It quickly becomes a 1v1 and then the real rape begins
>>335647083
Then what are you complaining about, friendo?
:^)
>>335646646
>>335646537
>break into somebody's house
>family attacks me
>pull out gun
>kill the family
>WOW WHAT THE FUCK, THIS GUY HAS NO HONOR, RESPECT MY PROPERTY
>>335646537
I would argue that invading is part of the game like summoning is.
If you're the kind of faggot who runs around looking for new people to summon if the ones you already have are killed, I would call you a colossal faggot, but I can't knock you for it. It's part of the game.
>>335647016
If an invader shits on you and ruins your day and your 3 summons you have no right to be angry because you are innately acting cowardly.

I think you're responding to the wrong person, fag fucker
anyone else here getting "failed to login to servers" on the PS4 version?
>>335647209
You cant say the game is unjustly unfair to Invaders though.
They even gave you healing in DSIII, which is beyond stupid. It just makes the fights last 10 minutes longer than they should as you cant punish for healing anymore.
You know exactly what you could be getting into with invading, how can you really complain about anything?
The actual only time I do summon is if Im invaded because the fights take way to fucking long in this game when its 1 on 1 and I dont have the time to be invaded over and over again.
>>335647364
Was about to post this too, yeah I am senpai. Even deleted the game and reinstalled and still broke
been invading people nonstop in the dungeon dressed from head to two as a darkwraith. usually I spawn above the group and just do a plunging attack and often kill them in one hit because of it. I even somehow managed to grab one of them with the dark hand
Also have nothing but darmoons and way of blue faggots trying to help the host but I now have 12 forked tongues since they're usually shitters. Probably have enough for the last covenant reward but I like to keep them as trophies
lvl 23. irythill village mainly, but i can invade almost anywhere with great results
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXwUgCwogf4
I gotta make a irythill gank vid, the magicians who make fire pillars make it WAY EZ.
1v3 isn't even hard w hen you low level invade
>mfw me and my sun bros gank redfags and theres literally nothing they can do to win

>against three phantoms and a host
Yeah, fuck off. You fucking suck.
>>335641102
you are bad
>>335647564
See, I get that if I invade people I might be walking into 5 phantoms and get my shit fucked up, but what pisses me off is when I invade someone, kill all the phantoms, then the host just runs around keeps trying to pick up new summons cause they are too pussy to fight me back
>>335641102
You cannot guard break in ds3 ?
>>335647582
How do you even manage to hit someone with the dark hand? I've been trying for the past hour and it's literally impossible. No one is dumb enough to fall for it
I just killed a host, his two phantoms and his friendly red as an Aldrich Faithful. All three were using chameleon and I laid into a statue with the Red in it.
>he runs to the archers
>they do nothing
>take him down when he is out of stamina
>his phantom partner gets body blocked by me and is knocked off the ledge by an arrow
>kill one more when he goes after an archer
>host is nearly killed by me
>jumps off edge and attempts to heal

I'm liking this luck build.
>>335647706

>>335641428
>never summon
>aldrich's
you get summoned every 20 seconds there
Why do invaders complain about anything in this game? You can literally invade infinate amount of times an hour into the game.
I could understand the hate for 3 on 1s if the only invasion was with Cracked red eyes but jesus, this game is supposed to be hard in every aspect.
>>335641102
>uses washing pole
>use the fucking dark sword
Holy shit you're bad
I fucking love using a seed of giants in the area after Pontiff. Invaders apparently lose their minds when enemies start attacking them (most seem to position themselves with the greatbow silver knights, and quickly die) and either die quickly or just ragequit.
>>335647613

>>335647797
This has been the only time I ever managed to do it and believe me I have tried alot. Anyway had the phantom pinned between me and the jailer and while he was getting branded I grabbed
>>335647892
Wait until you're invaded by someone properly. When someone seeds me I just gather up every mob that will follow me and we gang rape the host
Does anyone have problems with the gaurd dogs of farron? I'll wait for an hour and never get summoned, and I really want that great sword for my tank build

>>335648147
Then use the mobs you mong. Stop charging in 3 on 1 then whining about it after about how its so unfair.
>>335648131
No, it's same as anywhere else. When you invade you're getting 2v1 like 50 percent of the time and 25% 3v1 and 25% 4v1
>>335648181
Damn is that what it is? Everywhere I checked said if you stay in the 30s it should be fine. I'm like SL 32 right now I think, can't check since ps4 servers seem to he down right now, and don't feel like playing offline
>>335648131
Most of my invasions are against 2 players and I'd say about 1/4th have 3 players in anor londo.

Yeah thats been happening to me too. The day before yesterday I was able to invade, but I fire it up today and I never get summoned to invade.

I read 29 is the sweet spot since you can invade lvl 19 players.

If you have higher than a +3 weapon at level 30 you won't get summonned.

>>335647364
>>335648439
I got a update, maybe its that
>>335647859
The proportion of people playing the game who summon multiple friends has increased as the games have become more popular, and Souls combat excels most and is generally the most fun in 1-on-1 encounters. Invaders are complaining because they want to invade, because it's more spontaneous and varied than dueling with a soapstone, but the majority of the player base plays in a way that makes invading not fun.
>had 5 different people use all their estus up today
>instead of letting my put their ass through a wall, they turned tail and ran through the area
>all got killed by environment instead of just dying to me
>>335648494
how do we do this? is there a way to only effect gankers specifically?
>>335648514
Think it was dried fingers game, cause I had another red phantom join in the middle of it. Didn't help them cause we fucked thier shit up. Still was like "wtf" when I'm getting chased by all those guys
>Less people have joined the Mound-Makers than people have killed the Abyss Watchers, Aldrich and Yhorm
Literally how.
>>335648494
I'm not sure you understand how editing savefiles works. You can edit YOUR OWN save file on every system, not everyone's. You could make a hacked item, drop it for a retard, watch them pick it up. If they save with it in their inventory they might get reprimanded
>>335648397
>invade in area after pontiff
>host
>2 golds

>2 Aldrich
>1 Purple
>all 8 were down where Aldrich faithful turn in guy is
9 person chaos. Most fun ever.
I sat on the ladder so noone could get out
And I killed both blues, a gold and host from the ladderchaosh is a laddah
>summon a red
>mfw Dark Sword + Havel's Greatshield fags
>>335648661
Because the first way to get into it is sort of vague and people pass it up and then can't get in until the second method, whereas the second method is later game but there permanently, I guess.
>>335647960
>people who cheer after a 3v1 butt raping like they accomplished something
I got invaded today by a purple in the archives and he just dropped an I'm Sorry stone before killing himself by suppuku. What a hero.
>>335648661
Because not everyone is using a guide and knows that you can get into the cage of a normally hostile enemy. And the period of time you can do it is relatively small. And the second chance to get it is missable if you join Rosaria. Is my answer good enough?
>>335648661
Because joining is weird as fuck the first time, and by the second chance you've probably already joined Rosaria's fingers and therefore can't join at all.
>>335648661
>Missable first time if you fight Tree boss before finding this random enemy and knowing to get in its cage
>Only other option is to do this vague as fuck questline that can be missable if you join another Covenant
>>335648728
>two blues
This is a lie if you already have two phantoms then blues don't spawn
>>335648531
I think so too, mine kicked me out my game, said it started installing ver 1.04 but that one was already done. Then when I entered the game again it said app 1.04 and one under said 1.05 so maybe new update?
>>335648815
>First method is vague
I don't really see how, I saw a big fag with a cage on his back instead of a pack. The normal thing to do is walk up behind him, but then you'd see the interact and do that.
Also,
>Not exploring the whole area before a boss
>>335648876
>First guy doesn't even hit him but does damage
>Second guy drop attacks while he's stunned
>Third guy drops after he's dead because why not
>They all have a circle jerk
What the fuck happened to dark souls?
>>335645530
How do people add you on steam from dark souls?
>>335648971
You can have the blues first then summon phantoms. They dont take up your phantom spot.
>>335648397
I had a similar thing happen to me. I was fighting a 4v1 and actually doing relatively well. Then an Aldritch faithful guy invaded and I expected him to help me clean these scrubs up. The host started beating his ass and when he saw it was a 4v2 he started attacking me with the host's phantoms as if to try and say "OH NO I'M WITH YOU GUYS LOL". They initially started beating his ass but then stopped as he casted spells on me. I killed two of the phantoms and then died. Faggot Aldritch dude started clapping and the remaining phantom spammed "Thank you" drops. Then the host backstabbed and killed the Aldritch fag before I disappeared.
I think this was the only time I ever got mad at an invasion. Not even at the host and 3 phantoms, but at that Aldritch dude for being a total faggot.
>>335647960
>tfw you invade anyways and a win is sweeter than ever
Become proficient.
>2v1 and they cheer and emote
it's too funny
>>335648971
Not true I've had it happen to me, I think it can happen with the fingers.
>>335648728
That sounds fun, I just hate when I beat all the phantoms the host runs around trying to look for new signs to pick up, so more phantoms appear. I think it should lock after you're invaded so you can't summon someone new unless you got way of the blue or something like that
>>335648720
Nope, people have been editing other people's savefiles in DS3
This guy got a permanent change and had to roll back a save

Bullshit I tried summoning two friends of mine for fight club with the dried finger but I had a blue spawn and I was unable to summon my friend as his sign vanished when I got a blue and reappeared when the blue finally left.
>>335642754
Ricards Rapier should be in SSS tier, it's better than estoc in every single way with only 8 points less base damage. It's weapon art is incredible for catching people off guard, it pokes faster, and has longer range. I don't get the meme with estoc.
>>335649328
hey anon it's all fun and games, you seem mad people invade you.

This idiot clearly hasn't tried off-handing a caestus. Best reaction parry weapon I've found so far, I'm pretty sure it's instant.
>>335644024

yeah, you're not mad. Like, not at all.
>can summon friends to play with

Why
>>335649580
Yeah but people keep using it in pvp and they are fucking shit with it. I body estocs with ricards rapier, they straight up dont know what to do, not to mention the estoc is so easily parried, and if they try to estus I just avelyn them. Estoc is not the best weapon in the game, by far it's not.

A good invader needs to have map awareness. That one did not.
Assuming that's all that happened.
>>335649832
I want to invade other players with my friends which we can't do retard. I know the password system lets me summon friends I want to invade the same fuck with them. Not talking about red soapstones before you even mention it
