How often do you invade people?

how often do you invade people?

I use my full supply of cracked shards and then reload my file to restock my supply.

I only play single player. The on-line stuff just isn't fun

Spent a few hundred hours invading in DS2.
Fond memories. Steam profile flooded with tears. Beautiful.

often. I invaded your mother just last night.

If by people you mean your mom vagina, let me tell you boy - pretty frequently.

Invaded for 400 combined hours in 1&2 and a grand total of about an hour in 3. Fuck From for pandering to stupid fucks like this

I'll invade your dad's ass faggot

never, I dont pvp at all

Just a reminder that DS invaders are literal scum of the earth and genuinely deserve to die in real life. Do everyone a favour and kill yourself.

damn...

>and a grand total of about an hour in 3
because it's more likely to get thrown into coop sessions?

I was late to the party with DaS invasions but I still got around 200 hours of straight invading with it. Been invading in 3 recently and having a lot of fun.

I have stalled out plenty of characters as soon as I get my orb and find an area/time of day with plentiful invasions. Unfortunately the series has become too popular and youtube shitheads promoting it as a 'competitive' game has made 90% of hosts now sit and wait for you to come have a duel and then disconnect when you don't.

>stop playing the game the way I don't play
based

In Demon Souls, constantly. All the fucking time and it was the best. You had so many tools to make it fun and fight groups of 3.

Never invaded in any of the Dark Souls. They killed it for me in 1 when it became severely limited versus unlimited like it used to be and they nerfed a lot of shit that made it fun.

There can only be 1 and in rare occasions 2 invaders in one hosts world in ds3 and the host can summon 3 white phantoms

That combined with vanilla pvp in 3 being hot garbage.

Not often. I much prefer to help people go through the area and fight the boss.

Never. Why would I be a dick to my fellow players making their way through a world full of shit. We are comrades at arms in a place where everything wants us dead and is full of negativity.

they invade me

a fellow patrician i see
fucking with knuckleheads in DaS1&2 was the best part of the whole series.

>Strawman

Play the game however the fuck you want, just don't expect to not be invaded when you're playing a game where that was one of the main selling points of the series. Little cunts like you crying to From about being invaded is why they completely fucking neutered it in 3. You couldn't just stay fucking undead and never be invaded because you're dogshit at the game.

I still invade often in 2, using a poison build with powerstanced daggers. Now if the world master is a fucking dicklet and has summons, then i take out my trusty spotted whips and wreck shit with them.

More enemy phantoms was fine in DS2 because you couldn't just spam roll and chug estus for free.
In fact I specifically invaded in the gargoyle tower to have more enemies fight me at once.

I'm not a faggot so never.

Co-op fags deserve to get stomped by invaders pulling out every cunt tactic they can. Having an extra person to cover for you completely trivializes everything PVE has to offer.

Rarely, if ever, in DkS3. The game is so pitted against invaders that its not fun in the slightest.

or I can just disconnect when you invade, I paid for the game so I decide how to play it, you want to fuck it up? disconnected

These tears in this thread already brings back the memories. My dick is getting hard again.

after clearing the game once I invaded like a madman to get a taste of PVP
the experience was very disappointing but I needed more dark souls you see

>youtube shitheads promoting it as a 'competitive' game has made 90% of hosts now sit and wait for you to come have a duel and then disconnect when you don't
This will never not make mad. The fun potential is insane and FROM kinda gives you some idea with NPC red phantoms and some enemies, yet the community somehow manages to fuck it all up.
Bunch of pussies.

If you're seriously that big of a bitch, I don't think Dark Souls is a series for you.

>WAAA the game isn't supposed to be played co-op
>stop having fun WAA
invaders who bitch about getting ""ganked"" by people just having fun in coop are the worst

when xbox live gold was free for a day, I spent all day invading the burg in Dark Souls 1.

It was the most fun I ever had. I accumulated so much hate-mail that day.

PvP in Dark Souls is shit. No skill, just "who can predict 2 seconds into the future" simulator thanks to how fucking god awful the lag is. You have to be playing with someone extremely geopgraphically close and both be on wired connections to enjoy it.

>that was one of the main selling points of the series

literally what the fuck are you spazzing about

>My dick is getting hard again
then you better jack that thing, dude

>you're big bitch if you want to play the fame instead of letting me gank you with my pvp twink from save editor
i think computers are not for you since you can't handle freedom of others to kick you out of their game

Getting ready to fight that tough boss again, huh? Too fucking bad.

All the time back in Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Lost interest for the other 3. In fact, I usually play offline now. Being online spoils secrets.

>go so fucking good at DS1 that in 12 hours I would have a level 20 character with +5 black knight armor and invade the sewers all day every day

I miss fanmail.

I use invasion to fuck with people for no reason other than to vent a bit of steam, so not very often.
Forced invasion is a shit mechanic that does nothing but encourage griefing.

You seriously don't think the invasion system was one of the big draws of the first games? Are you stupid?

I like the idea of invasions and like fighting invaders but I couldn't get into invading in DS3, Every time I was against gank squads and twinks

not very often. i only do it to fuck with other people.
white ring + mound maker is dank.

How did the DS2 team manage to make the best netcode in the entire series? DS1 and 3 are laggy garbage and 2 is really consistent and predictable.

>having fun
You can keep saying that, but all you're really doing is playing on super easy mode.

Invasions are an integral part of the game you little sissy faggot. Go play something else if you don't like it, stop ruining it for everyone else. Oh wait you already did ruin it, 3's invasions are fucking pigshit thanks a whole bunch.

in Ds1 and Ds2 ALOT
in Ds3 still alot but its not as fun with 3 defenders and blades of the dark moon.

Getting invaded after Dark Souls 1 became just a moment of mild disappointment rather than a somewhat tense moment, so I don't mind the fact that it basically never happens in the games after it.
The fact that there even was a PvP "community" ruined the whole point of it.
Dark Souls 2 only had PvP to substantiate replay value, which gets stale incredibly quickly, and the online community basically became the dark souls equivalent of quickscope clans.

it was a draw if you already played the game, not a giant sticker on the front of the box you colossal fag

There shouldve just be a PvP arena at some point

well dark souls is dead so it doesnt matter I guess

>Invasions are an integral part of the game
Not really. In fact, I think one of the reasons DaS1 was so fun for me was because I didn't have to deal with random invasions because online is dead without third party support.

>Invading sewers with a lightning zwei twink
>Managed to kill NG+ people occasionally

Fucking loved DaS1 so much.

dark souls coop is really fun though. I always do my first few playthroughs solo but then I start playing with some buddies.
having no friends must suck, user

*sips tea*

Quite a bit in DaS. Mainly in Anor Londo, but I've had some fun ones in upper Blighttown.
>fog ring
>black bow of Pharis
>hawk ring
>poison arrows
Maximum salt all day

>it was a draw if you already played the game

You seriously, honestly think the wider video game community was unaware of the invasion mechanics in the first Dark Souls? Are you one of those people that only started playing video games in the last 5 or 6 years because it became "cool" to do so or something?

...

I don't know why it's important for you to convince me that FROM sold the game as a battle royale arena shooter but by all means keep working on it

>Not really
Really. Just because they don't interest you doesn't mean a large section of the game's playerbase didn't enjoy the hell out of it.
Compelling counter-argument.

>integral part
weird, that would make game always online but it's not and can be finished without ever being online so you're wrong
>go play something else and dont ruin it for others
how about I play what I want and you stop lashing out at people who deny you your precious gank rush you entitled shit?

The pace of DaS2's combat is also better for PVP.
Magic isn't crazy easy to avoid, healing and rolls can be easily punished, can't always rely on R1 spam and tracking etc.

>battle royale arena shooter

Just stop talking, you're a gibbering mess. Go to fucking bed or something.

>Invade in DS3
>Kill the guy
>Get message
>Why did you kill me? Find a fight club asshole
Did people forget what the word invading means? DaS1 was great for invading and being invaded. Still unsure of what's next, see you're being invaded, muscles all tense up. DaS2 also had a lot of this. DaS3 community made invading into a separate element of the game, not something it's meant to enhance.

I didn't know there was an argument I just saw a bunch of mad words strung together and got concerned

I invaded all the time. Even got my 30 ears and 30 bladegrass's in DaS3 pre-patch. I enjoy invading as a mad spirit because I like killing gank squads. Always give me a giggle when I kill a squad of 4 people waiting for me

New game? Never.
New game+? Whenever I feel like.

t. gibbering mess

This doesn't even work

>Calls me entitled when he enters into a community and stomps his feet refusing to play the game the way it was intended to be played

That feedback always makes me mad.
>Hit guy
>Second later, he reacts

barely any
I auto-invaded a bit in the aldrich faithful covenant though and I killed a white phantom who gave me 140k souls which allowed me to level up ten levels in a row, is this usual?

what? i just want to play the game i don't give a shit or owe any of my time to your dear community

yea I think he was lagging a bit.

There's no game relevant reward for invading. Invaders make a pvp specific build and are almost always higher level and fully upgraded than the person being invaded. And the only reason they do it is because they are simply scum and they just want to ruin an already frustrating experience for someone else. That's why they don't do fair fights like that fight club, they don't want that. They are subhuman trash.

I fucking love the Great Club.

Nah I know, I just want you to know that you're part of the problem with the video game industry and why it's swirling around in the toilet. Bye.

it's Good_

>There's no game relevant reward for invading.
heh
>and are almost always higher level
heheheh

Me too. The regular club is actually very good too. Several units of weight less, A scaling in strength when heavy infused, and comparable stagger/damage.

>Invaders make a pvp specific build and are almost always higher level and fully upgraded than the person being invaded
Wow, it's almost as if you have no idea what you're talking about and are just buttmad that people regularly kick your ass.

Invasions only worked as intended in DaS, because it was the only game that was actually immersive, through it's claustrophobic or dark areas, turning the mere act of reading an invader announcement message into a tense moment.
Invaders in that game also seemed to be more keen to turn an invasion into mutual fun through some roleplaying and dicking around, rather than it being an objectively bad thing for the host.

...

And your point is? The Souls games aren't difficult already.

I invade because I like the thrill of being invaded and want to share the love with others. The best moments are when you have your back against the wall, whether you win or lose it's almost always an enjoyable experience.

Nobody uses them because they look fucking gay. But they're the unsung heroes of invasions, that's for sure.

>you didn't let me gank you thanks for killing videogames RRRREEEEE
thanks, I'll take words of nobody from internet to my heart

Invading in DS2 is always great.

Invaded a ton in ds3 despite only ever being a sunbro in 1 and 2.
Won surprisingly often despite always being outnumbered.

Literal subhuman garbage.

>PvP specific builds
>Higher level/fully upgraded

Yea no. Dark Souls, even as far back as DaS1 is level based. say you're level 30. You can invade/be invaded by people levels 25-35 etc

Dark Souls 3 took it a step further and even made it so you couldn't twink out a character with all +10 armor/weapons. You're weapon is +2? Guess what, a person has to be within 5 +/- levels than you with the same weapons upgrade level. In short
>git gud faggot

most of my playtime. In DS1 my favorite was to go to the end of the dlc area with the spoopy ghosts and use the camouflage spell, I'd wait with the big scythe you get from the painted world boss and lots of other bleeding equipment and fucking jump out and backstab the host. if they got away or lived, I just chased them into the ghost mobs.

in 2 I was a lot more fair, but I did a lot of fuckery. I would go to the bridge in the lava place, use the fire trap spell a couple times, then summon a red sign or dragon sign and watch them explode- usually would take out at least half their health.

Using a fully upgraded manslayer was fun, but later on people just got such high resistance to poison/high health pool it was less useful.

I like banter but this is pretty weak. you should have gotten a catchphrase you just repeat over and over again every time he cried

Well, what is it scrublord?

>when a tryhard faggot thinks he can cheese win with curved sword parry spam but isn't ready for some REAL tryhard shit

couldn't you just switch weapons upon invading?

>invade someone
>get message
>Please don't kill me
