im just trying to play the fucking game, i don't need any faggot tryhards ruining my enjoyment
they don't even duel me honorably, if im already in a fight with some monster they come and attack me anyways. i wouldn't mind if they could fuck off and wait for the proper 1v1 but nah, if you wanna be a faggot then i can be a faggot too

Immediate regret. I had tried for about 45 minutes and it was late and I was sick of it after that goddamn swamp.
Wish I had beaten them on my own now. Probably would have been a really rewarding feel.
>>335857838
It's how people who are serious about online play still do it.

>>335858034
It's a pretty shit boss once you figure out you can just roll behind him and backstab him every time he tries to attack.
>>335858219
I figured that out with the individuals but once he went all fire-mode he left very little window to even get a good strike let alone a good backstab window.
Granted I was still sticking to my damn Claymore at the time which proved completely useless with its horribly slow movements and minimal damage outpu. Ironically I got a Dark Sword drop not 10 minutes later outside that very boss battle helping others as a sunbro.
I probably would have done much better with that if I had it at the time.
>>335858107
Touché.
>>335858034
This >>335858219
I summoned for it as well, but even then at the start where you get multiples running at you the phantom and I got split up, and it was painfully obvious how easy it was to jsut roll through all the attacks. Then when he activated his fire I never got hit once.
>>335853818
That looks like a really cool fix.

Just summon two dudes, watch the invaders getting rekt by the two summons, and then come here to see all those faggot crying "waaaaaa invasion are not fair, pvp is shit now waaaaaaa"
>>335859037
When does this happen?
>>335859243
>>335859458
Not him, but I can vouch. You can easily see the embers coming out of your body pretty much making branch useless most times. The best ways to hide while ember'd is in a lit area and you're a big object.

This nigga gets it
Speaking of rapiers, what the fuck is the move that replaces kicks used for? All I can tell is it stabs at feet, not staggering the enemy, and doing 1/4th your normal damage. What the fuck is the actual use of the attack, and why did it have to replace kicking?
>>335857817
Theres a new mod on the forum that lets you connect to someone directly even without nodes. And if that persons has nodes then you can share em too
>>335853818
Am i the only person that when i get invaded theres no message? I usually hear them spawn in though
>>335860310
This, famlamo. Fucking this. Thanks to that thread the other day I've made it part of my routine. Plus white branch can work in the right environments.
High-Tier PVP Hide-and-Go-Seek is a pure viable meta-game that I intend to capitalize on. Try hards need to be on notice.
>>335856843
>using summons to cheat your way through the game
Summons are not a normal mechanic, they come at the cost of being invaded. Invaders are allowed to fuck up your game because you chose to turn on summoning easy mode. Turn that off and the invader problem goes away!
>>335861000
I've seen it stagger some enemies but it seems to only stagger if you've done a few hits but that could have just been lag. It's nice to still do damage and backstep if whoever your fighting manages to have a really close up power attack. The timing is also a bit weird which makes the '2-3 hits and they start to parry spam to stop you' have less chance of grabbing you.
>>335860310

Tfw piratefags are always the best Dark Souls players because they play the games early with no walkthrough, can't cheese through bosses with summons, no blood stains, no boosts from PVE or PVP. Truly the most hardcore of offline DS players.

So what happens with invaders like me who'll just stand in one place and wait for you to do something?
>>335862647

There are tons of NPC summons everywhere
Does passing items down from a high level character to a low level result in bans like it did in Dark2?
>>335856152
Just kill yourself when you get invaded or don't ember at all you vagina.

>>335864076
I can never tell if they d/c'ed or if the game just fucked up. Because I check out their profiles, and they are still playing the game.
>You have been summoned as a Blade of the Darkmoon
Oh, wait.
>>335863890
Oh, is that the connection error thing? Because I've noticed with hiding faggots that I always get a connection error around 30 mins in.
>>335863894
I don't know if you noticed but they're NPCs and they die in 2-3 hits
>>335864120
Sure but most invasions prioritize more people, and few people are running alone.
Invading in bloodborne was like this for me so its not too weird to see it happening now.
>>335863794
Why would you bother? The game is easy enough as it is and the weapon level now factors into PvP matchmaking.
>>335864120
Doesn't seem like it, every time I invade a player they always have phantoms on them. Guess it's just priority matchmaking.
>>335864201
yeah, prevents people being forced to force quit when in a stalemate while still being ages if they are actually fighting.
How do you guys feel about invading a host and the host just jumps off the nearest cliff to de-ember themselves.
What the fuck is up with this bullshit?
I'm invading at highwall and people are using Smough's Hammer and shit. Are they just blatant hackers or something? I'm only SL20
>>335864332
>Why would you bother?
for the fashion.
hated all the early game armor, but I like the fire witch set.
>>335864513
Its not fun for me, but if thats what they want I feel bad and wouldn't jumped off to save them the trouble.
If you're that desperate to avoid invasions then stay cold.
>>335864428
Still kinda shitty though, I mean my main tactic if they have phantoms carrying them is to poison the host and then hide. Now they're usually shitters who don't survive long after getting poisoned, by why should I get d/ced for pulling such a tactic when the odds are so heavily stacked against me? They should make it so that you get d/ced after 30 mins of not dealing damage to the host.
How's being summoned as a Blue Spirit since the update? I haven't had the chance to play it, but fuck me I've had Blue covenants on the whole game, got summoned once by a fuckwit that fell of a ledge three seconds later.
Please tell me it's better now
>>335853818
I bet you also back down and cower like a bitch when someone hits on your girlfriend too.
Oh wait you don't have or need a girlfriend, you already have a pussy.
>>335862261
Oh shut the fuck up you butthurt sonygger. People are getting softbanned just because of texture mods and you come up with this cheat engine nonsense.
Fucking hell.
>>335856152
Everytime I kill someone when I invade I imagine they respond just like you do.
It's the only reason why I still invade.
>>335864726
>, by why should I get d/ced
it doesnt count as a d/c for getting softbanned or anything.
>They should make it so that you get d/ced after 30 mins of not dealing damage to the host.
if you cant make it in half an hour its just a waste of everyones time
>>335864754
Patch 1.06 isn't out yet.
>>335864773
Girls can have girlfriends too.
I had so much success invading today
So many scrubs in Grand Archive are R1 spamming straight sword/katana users. All you gotta do is equip hornets ring & a really strong weapon like BKGA, then when they start R1 spamming you tank the first two hits then mash parry. It works like 90% of the time for an EZ instakill
>>335864872
Oh, I could've sworn my game updated earlier today. Fair enough then
>>335856672
No joke when I invade I enjoy a bit of hide and seek. It's fun in it's own way
>>335864920
>So many scrubs in Grand Archive are R1 spamming straight sword/katana users
better they do that there, where is usually harder to do a circle r1 poke for all eternity/.
>>335863734
Never had an invader not run around like a retard looking for me.
I guess in that situation I'll give up and then go summon some friends and then we'll gank you, son. Bad move famalamo.

NO AMOUNT OF SKIRT WEARING IS GOING TO CHANGE THIS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>335864428
>>335864862
Actually, it forces the invader to make risky decisions and gives gank squads more power.
Why should i as a host run after an invader and risk dying when i can just wait out their timer? I know they have to come after to me and my 3 phantoms at some point otherwise they lose.
You see the problem here? If invaders didn't have timers they would be the ones in the driver seat. The host would have an incentive to hunt down and kill the invader making invasions more fun and dynamic, it also allows the invader to set up traps in the level while they wait for the host. Long invasions were the most tense parts of Dark Souls 1.
>>335865360
wow triggered?
>>335865025
You're a good invader. At least you enjoy the sport of the hunt.
It gets so tense when somebody moves past you only to come back and start getting curious.
Goddamn I love it. Makes me feel like a 5 year old again in video game form and the person who finds you is an axe murderer. Good times.
>>335864862
No, it's just a waste of my time to invade someone with 2 phantoms. Then again, like I said once I poison them and run off they usually die soon anyway.
>>335865194
>gank me whilst all the enemies are still alive
Yeah righto. Also I'm a Watchdog so I'm not limited by the whole "only 1 invader" fiasco.

You deserved it faggot for not helping kill the host.
>>335865426
>Why should i as a host run after an invader and risk dying when i can just wait out their timer?
because it means sitting and doing nothing for half an hour.
thats something we do do kids as a punishment.
>If invaders didn't have timers they would be the ones in the driver seat.
And they are not supposed to be.
> Long invasions were the most tense parts of Dark Souls 1.
And the source of too much bullshit.
I do agree with you, but I see how time limits are the wise choice for a better overall experience for more people, especially with the greater number of invaders possible.
>>335865457
how new?
>>335865658

Good on you. You're rare as fuck it seems. So many come in and just go to town. Not using the environment to their advantage.
You gotta be smart to invade. Do it in vulnerable spots. Only like half way through the game so far but the most fun invasions have come right outside Abyss Watchers.
By invade I mean ACTUAL invading. Not stupid fight club shit. God that pisses me off.

>>335853818
I invade just so I can ruin people like yourselfs days. All I want is a tongue, and to see you suffer for being so shit at this game.
>>335865025
How anyone can't is completely fucking beyond me
I really, honest to god, sometimes forget that people take these games super fucking seriously to the point that they somehow think they can "waste their time"... while playing a video game.
>>335866412
>>335863894
I couldn't give less of a shit if you have summons, thats part of the game as much as invading is.
But expecting anyone to abide by your imaginary rules is pathetic, go put down or summon Red Signs if you want your damn "honor". In Invasions anything and everything goes.
>>335866082
Truly devilish.
I'm thinking of making a greatbow build and invading people in the catacombs as a grapist.
Where else can you get a greatbow besides that place after Ithryll dungeon?
>>335865980
I got plenty of summons at road of sacrifices as a purple.
It's fucking hilarious.
>>335864536
I ran into some dude using full Nameless king gear and the spear on my level 30 dickwraith.
I have no idea.
>>335865785
I use Untrue Dark Ring because it really helps with not being so easily noticed, and yeah reds of course will target me thinking I'm host. It's the retards that continue to try and target me after I make it obvious I'm not the host that absolutely dumbfound me though. Or the fellow Watchdogs who spam attacks on me whilst I Applaud them for not reading the name above my head.

>multiple level 35s
Like, what.
>>335863025
I bought the game, and turn on CE when I get invaded, that's it. They don't see any phantoms and get so excited, then they learn the hard way that the only one allowed to have fun in my world is me.
>>335865025
As do I, my primary places to invade are in the Crucifixion Woods and Anor Londo for that purpose.
>>335853818
Is it true they patched parry sould duping?
>>335866763
There is no better feeling than invading as a purple, having the host and a phantom start cheering when you die, only to watch them get buttfucked by mobs because you hit them with a hunter charm before dying.
>>335866913
Who says they're new? How is that even relevant? They usually have 2-3 phantoms anyways so the odds are more than fair. Stop being a whiny bitch about invaders having some fun
>>335864186
Kek
>>335856843
If you're actually scared about the incredibly rare chance of getting a cheater then back up your saves.
>>335866913
>low soul level players aren't allowed to get invaded! that's against the rules!!!
kill yourself. maybe players who are "legitimately new to the game" shouldn't be summoning 3 phantoms to get through a fucking area
>>335865980
>Poison infused Notched Whip
I was rocking one of them but could never get the poison off because it's just a tad slow I find. Using Ghru curved blade now and it's far easier to get poison off, bit of a shame though since the whip moveset looks so rad.
>>335867082
dude I'm a fucking "invader" player myself and I am simply fucking astounded that you manage to find such droll shit entertainming
Yes, they are PROBABLY to the game if they're level 35.
They certainly aren't level 120 with a full build, are they? Don't be such a faggot trying to defend your stupid shit.
>>335866837
The other one is in Anor Londo. They're pretty gimmicky to be honest; one of those tactics that only works one out of every ten invasions
>>335866913
>I'm so, so glad I don't have a mental deficiency like you do
You're either mad as fuck because you're not good enough to pull it off, or you didn't experience it for yourself in dark souls 1.
You're missing out.
If you're gonna bitch about it you don't even need to beat Pontiff to get tons of overpowered shit that anyone can use.
>>335867303
>invading people at low SL makes you a faggot
wew lad. sounds like you got your shit pushed in by some invasions today. have you tried gitting gud?
>>335867037
Anyone?
this is how 50% of my matches end up being
>>335857009
Nope. there's a table going around that lets the invader give you max stats on hit which triggers account review and leads to ban.
They can literally get anyone they play with banned like this, From has no way of knowing if you did that shit yourself or not and there is no ban appeals process either.
>>335867139
Backing up your save won't do shit once the hacker has fucked your save file, the server's already seen it, you are FUCKED.
>>335867303
Droll shit? You mean invading different areas at their respective level ranges? That's the entire fucking point of the invasion system you retard.
>they are PROBABLY to the game if they're level 35
They could be playing through the game again. They could have played the previous Souls games. Even if they're new, how do you know the phantoms are new? Or the blues that come to help them?Not to mention there is absolutely nothing that says that new players should be immune to invasions.
>>335867303
It's a blast pushing a host's shit in when they have phantoms to escort them through an entire area.
It's even more rewarding since you make them more frustrated in the process. Half thefunis fucking everything up for someone else. Especially as a purple.
And when you're invading at low levels, you can't exactly put points into vitality since you need str, dex, attunement and maybe faith + int for some pyromancies. You're always at a disadvantage. Stop crying.
>>335867384
nah I never did it in DS1 and I have absolutely no idea how someone can fail to 'pull it off'
how could someone possibly be so bad they can't kill new, low level players? that just makes no sense. Low-level invading is just faggonis trying to get laughs out of being 'better' than people who have no fucking clue what they're doing.
>le drinking tears image
come on bro.
>>335867409
meme harder champ you're a faggot
>>335867303
What level is acceptable to start invading people then? 50? 60? 120?
>>335866931
Just don't Ember then you retard.
>>335867713
once you have 99 in all stats
>>335866931
enjoy your ban
>>335867490
Yeah, the R1 spam is real for this game.I R1 spam too, but I'm at least somewhat clever about it.
>>335867724
Don't respond.
>tfw you invade to have fun and mostly fight using special attacks
>tfw they r1 spam and probably think they're good for beating you
>>335867409
Not the same guy, but yeah, if you're just ganking low-level new players you're shit and shouldn't feel any sense of accomplishment for doing so.
>Inb4 y-y-you just got invaded h-ha
I pirated fuckboi, no invasions or summons for me!
>>335867710
You have to be low SL yourself to invade them, and your skill only carries you so far when it's 4v1. Honestly you're coming across as pretty pathetic right now - really sounds like you just got dicked going through the undead settlement or something. Invasions are active at all SL ranges for a reason; get over it.
I mean, you're literally saying that invading players you are better than makes you a faggot
>>335865457
Thats a good reaction image
>>335867710
>Getting this assblasted over a response.
You do realize that unlike dark souls 2, you can't be invaded while hollow.
All you need to do is not rely on ember to get through areas or help you with bosses. There's even a miracle that lets you see summon signs without using ember.
>>335867920
>new players
There's that word again. Being low-level doesn't mean they're new. And it doesn't fucking matter whether they're new or not because they're CHOOSING to be susceptible to invasions
>ganking
lol. Yea when an invader jumps into a 4v1 vs. a low SL player he's the one who's the "ganker". you're an idiot
>>335867678
Okay, all of that I completely understand. It is fun to blast someone's shit. It's fun to make someone frustrated.
I just simply don't see the point if they're so terrible at the game there's no real 'conflict' otherwise its just you "knocking down some kid's sand castle" who is in a wheelchair.
Half of the fun is escaping. If he can't chase after you, what's the point?
>>335867920
the guy in question just seemed like he liked fucking with the hosts. he didn't even say whether or not he killed them or if he had a sense of accomplishment. you're flat out shitposting and samefagging at this point
>>335867058
I like you.
>>335868098
Just stop trying to justify being a dick, you're not cool for shitting on low-level players.
>>335867713
pretty sure he said '120' right there lol
i mean nice try but that's just a stupid thing to ask.
>>335868171
>if they're so terrible at the game
According to what?
>there's no real 'conflict'
According to what?
I got invaded ten minutes ago leveling up my strength character in the catacombs. I've played every Souls games dozens of times and I've played DaS3 three times already. I'm an experienced PvPer who knows the level and had a good build.
Your scenario is made-up bullshit predicated on the fact that every low SL players has never ever played a souls game before and is completely incompetent in every facet.
>>335868283
Dont you have to be low level to invade low levels? Not seeing the problem
>>335868223
>all this stammering
jesus christ kid get a grip. low level invaders are fucking noobs, end of story.
Like that's literally how it's always been.
>get invaded
>they attack you while you talk to an NPC
I'm no honorfag, but that shit's just rude.
>>335868223
>Anyone who says something I don't agree with is shitposting!
And what are you doing, then? You're just responding to me, you're not adding shit to the discussion.
>Make multiple low-level builds
>Specifically to shit on low-level players
>HURR-DURR how DARE you call me out for being a douchenozzle!
>>335868171
The point is the online community isn't some hugbox. You get to be as nice or as mean as you want.
Shit, I dropped weapons for people all the time in dark souls 1.
>>335868401
>have multiple SL35 characters
He just sits around low-level areas and fucks with newbies.
>>335868421
how badly did you get thrashed in the high wall jesus fucking christ. i've never seen someone cry this much
>>335868424
>mfw I used to backstab people in undead burg that were talking to the merchant and buying stuff.
>Souls "PvP"
Is there a bigger joke in all of gaming?
It's just min-maxing shit or abusing lagstabs. Who would play this shit that has no skill involved?
>>335867507
>Backing up your save won't do shit once the hacker has fucked your save file, the server's already seen it, you are FUCKED.
No you aren't you fucking retard as it warns you first about the invalid file before it bans you, backing up your save is even what Bamco is telling people to do.
>>335868538
>waaaah why does no one listen to my imaginary rules that you have to be sl100 full build in order to pvp sniff sniff
>>335868393
>I'm a special snowflake therefore what I say is completely true.
This is you. This is what you sound like.
>>335867882
retards like you are fucking dumb. spouting "R1 SPAM!!!!" for everything when you literally have to do that to kill things. aint gonna get far by mashing parry like you, dumbcunt.
>>335860226
Fine, here's your (You).
No need to samefag for it.
>>335868638
>min-maxing
Why would you build a weak character on purpose?
>>335868682
>WAAAAAAAH why isn't everyone patting me on the back for being a shitbird I miss my hugbox :(
>>335868545
... I'm not even that other guy, it's just true low level invaders are nooby. plebby, noobs.
I really don't see the issue here.
>>335868545
He's probably some shitter that can't get past Pontiff and needs two phantoms and an aldrich fag to escort him to the boss.
>>335868280
Right back at ya.
>>335868682
>I have multiple level 35 characters and I invade in Undead Burg
>Look at how good I am at Dark Souls!!!!
>Lol you noobs get rekt xD
>>335868706
How does that refute anything I said? You have no evidence to suggest that everyone who is going through Farron Keep is new to the game. It's a baseless claim. Plenty of players are doing a repeat playthrough, or have played other games in the Series and know what they're doing. You're trying to make the argument that we are not allowed to invade players that are either worse or less experienced than us, which is completely fucking ridiculous
>>335868708
>have to spam R1 to kill things
God damn you suck. Also, the other guy sucks if he gets killed by R1 spamming. Its the easiest shit to deal with. I say that without ever using parry.
>>335853818
MOM PULL THE PLUG
>>335856672
As much as I like hide and seek, it's somewhat ruined by the sneaking suspicion that the person may be using the obscuring ring and is just keeping their distance from me at all times.
With the way stamina is in this game, that basically means never finding them.
>>335868708
you sound upset. hitting r2 isn't that hard :^)
>I just invaded a host with the ninja set, havel shield, estoc, and a summon.
>they start camping in the Dragon Mausoleum bonfire
>they use a seed
>mfw I kill them anyway
Carthus curved sword a best.
>>335867243
Every once in a while someone will have moss for bleed ready since so much shit causes bleed. But both? before I can hit them again, in particular? and healing?
I may just be assuming but I like to think I'm causing some sort of panic.
>>335853818
THERE IS LITERALLY AN OFFLINE MODE IN THE OPTIONS OF THE GAME
GIT GUD

>>335868971
>Plenty of players are doing a repeat playthrough
I don't know, you have no evidence to suggest this, sounds like a baseless claim to me.
>>335868939
>Look at how good I am at Dark Souls!!!!
>Lol you noobs get rekt xD
Who are you quoting? I can't see anyone in this thread who said that.
Also, the Undead Burg is located in the same relative area as Farron Keep is in relation to the progress of the game. Since you never played DaS I don't expect you to know that, but try to polish off your pointless analogies next time
>>335868743
I have a min-max character.
I just got past Pontiff and I'm not even level 30.
I get
>Tons of people to invade
>Some new people
>Enough weapon choices to switch tactics
>To invade in more areas that I can use to my advantage
>Can use situational areas as distractions to plan an ambush
>Can get aldrich and way of blue to join in
>Can target specific phantoms since I'm a purple
>Can force them to be a little more cautious
>twinking faggots in Undead Parish
>>335869107
>he thinks greentexting means 'quoting'
Oh, so you're a complete fucking retard then, that explains everything.
Have a good one.
>>335869017
I don't understand people that die to seeds. If you aren't good enough to go through an area taking out all the enemies, why the fuck are you invading in the first place?
>>335869068
I'm not the one making the claim. You are trying to assert that every single player in Farron Keep is new to the game/series, which is clearly not the case as evidenced by the fact that there are experienced players invading them
>>335869059
But then I can't read messages to tell me when something's around the corner
>>335866931
You know what. Keep up the good work
>>335868971
You do realize everything you're saying is just as baseless, right?
"Plenty of players are doing a repeat playthrough". Yeah. And plenty are doing their first playthrough.
Dude you are crazy.
>>335869039
Literally never had someone with moss ready, but what I meant was that in general poison resistance seems somewhat high and I could never get enough hits off with the whip to get poison. Like I said I use Ghru curved blade now and once you get up in their face it's almost guaranteed poison time.
>>335869107
He's not quoting anyone.
Just going full damage control mode.
Have you done any invading in farron keep?
It's always nice kicking the host off the old wolf covenant ladder or watching them get thrown by the stray demon up top.
Farron Keep and Catacombs are some of the best places to invade by far.
>>335869068
>you have no evidence to suggest this
the guy invading them is evidence. why are you being intentionally obtuse? grow the fuck up and deal with the fact that you can get invaded anywhere you bitchy cunt
>>335869182
When you are in a 1v4 situation a seed doesn't exactly help
>>335867507
You're not FUCKED as if you knew a god damn thing besides paranoia is that its not an insta ban
>>335869182
This.
Seeds literally do nothing. In fact, they make shit worse for the host and phantoms since you can draw aggro from enemies and pull them towards them instead of having to lure the host and his phantoms into them. As long as you're not retarded you can sprint through the level and pull half the fucking enemies towards the host and fuck them over completely by just standing back and hitting them with hunter charms.
How many disconnects before you're punished.
I'm having some bad luck right now with the power in my area (just after ds3 came out, irony or some shit). I computers shuts off in the middle of an invasion. How many times before I get punished?
>>335869196
you must really fucking suck at playing games, then
>>335869150
Im pretty sure thats the intended use for greentexting
>>335869195
>You are trying to assert every single player is new
Jesus Christ having autism must be really fucking stressful.
No one ever once implied that ever in this entire thread. The majority? Sure. Every single one? No.
>YOU'RE ASSERTING THIS
>PROVE IT
Dude, calm the fuck down. No he isn't.
>>335869339
>"Plenty of players are doing a repeat playthrough". Yeah. And plenty are doing their first playthrough.
So why are you pretending like a low SL invader is exclusively invading new players? Someone invading Farron Keep has just as high of a chance of invading a noob as someone invading in Anor Londo, or Smoldering Lake, or any area in the game.
>>335869468
What is your actual point then? You were shitting on him for invading new players, but you just admitted that he was invading some players who weren't new. He could have invaded new players at any SL. What SL do you have to be before it is acceptable to invade new players? Which area? Why is that acceptable as opposed to the area before it?
>>335869195
>You are trying to assert that every single player in Farron Keep is new to the game/series
No, MOST players are new, you made that claim yourself and spouted off as if it's what I had said.
>>335869452
>implying anyone ever uses it for quoting
This is honestly the worst fucking thread I have seen in months. So much newfaggotry its making my skin crawl
>people actually acting smug about being low-level invaders
You can't make this shit up.
>>335861223
DSCM changed everything.
>>335869687
>MOST players are new
according to what, your ass?
id imagine MOST players who are playing dark sous THREE have played some of the other dark souls games. so they're experienced and are fair game fuckface
>>335869358
>the guy invading them is evidence
...then why is he asking others to prove it for him? And how is he evidence of the players you- I'm sorry, HE'S invading being new or not? You're not making any sense.
>>335869402
The fact you thought I was being serious tells me it's in fact you who is actually the one that's actually really bad at video games.
>>335869610
This is what autism looks like.
>>335869769
he had to play through the game again to get to that point, which is evidence that there are players who are on repeat playthroughs going through that area. this is not a difficult concept
I just fought my first offhand caestus player, and I can see what people are complaining about.
>See the guy clearly has the caestus in his offhand
>Know that using them for parries is a thing
>Bait out the parry with a fake charge
>He falls for it
>Swing right after the parry for the punish
>He mashes out a second parry in the time it takes me to swing and gets me anyways
>Hornet riposted
>Mfw
What are you even supposed to do to that? The window to hit between parries must be abysmally tiny.
>>335869610
>So why are you pretending like a low SL invader is exclusively invading new players?
>exclusively
No one said this, you got extremely defensive and said it yourself.
>>335869468
>>335869837
>no argument
>just keep saying autism over and over again
>>335869757
Oh my God dude you are seriously autistic aren't you.
Please look at some of the shit you wrote and some of the questions you're asking and please re-evaluate yourself. You can't even type properly anymore.
No one is saying anything besides 'Low Level Invaders Who Act Tough are Faggots'
Which is decidedly true. Take a fucking breather kid, wow.
>>335869757
>id imagine MOST players who are playing dark sous THREE have played some of the other dark souls games
According to what, your ass?
See, you keep saying
>B-b-but you don't know FOR SURE!
And then turn around and do the same shit, making assumptions you can't prove.
If you have multiple SL35 builds and invade at that level, you're invading mostly new players, people who are on their first playthrough of the game.
Apparently my ass has more common sense than you do, because it dictates that most low-level players in the fastest-selling game in the series yet that just launched a WEEK AGO are likely on their first play.
Do different weapons have different parry windows? I've been using the parrying dagger, are other parrying things like the buckler better/worse?
>>335869883
You didn't say it, but your argument presupposes it you fucking moron. If you admit that a number of his invasions are experienced players, then how is invading at SL35 any different than invading at SL60 or SL90? You're bitching about people invading at a low SL, but if you want to invade in early areas you have to be a low SL to get those invasions.
>>335869961
You have at least 4 different people making fun of you right now.
Better go to undead parish and invade some noobs to feel better about yourself.
>>335870059
>you're invading mostly new players, people who are on their first playthrough of the game
can i invade people who are new players on their first playthrough of the game in the profaned capital? sounds like you think invasions should be off limits until ng+ or until the invadee has logged at least 100 hours of pvp experience mr. cocksucker
Question, what level should I be to always be invading as a farron's watch? I really want that shield.
