Hate it sometimes, good for actual PVP or if you encounter a single invader maybe in a PVP zone, but fuck it, if we are two idiots invading you should stick the etiquette up your ass, we both need that item, let´s gank the fucker who would otherwise be playing with two other summons to cover his ass and gank us individually instead.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Sometimes it's fun to be nice to people and others it's far more amusing the be the biggest dick possible.

Never know what's going to happen during an invasion, that's what makes it fun.

Yes. End of story. Always. Bow.

Yeah I ban him

I play reactionary. I'll wait, if they run at me cool time 2 swing. If they bow or wave then I'll do it back. When invading I just go for the kill cause it upsets people.

No
If I ever bow it's because I find it fun
I don't give a single shit about "honour"

This guy gets it

Why is there so much souls spam? That shit is so irrelevant now. Go back to your general quarantine.

>Nigger invades my world
>Bows
>I fish for some choice backstabs and be as cheap and shitty as possible
>Hatemail
I love it

>he likes getting hornet backstabbed and dying immediately

Who even came up with this etiquette crap? You don't bow and shit on other PvP games, so why would you do it on dark souls?

Rules (no estus, bowing, etc) are only for fight clubs and duel areas.

there is no etiquette

what Always bow before a duel.

Goes all the way back to Demon's Souls. Community was a lot smaller back then, so I guess people were just nicer to each other. It's been a very long time, but I feel like I remember there being way more interest in duels as opposed to invasions when that community was at it's peak as well, so that goes along with that.

>always leave your ass wide open like a fag

um no sweetie

When talking about etiquette you mean twinking with a +5 giant blacksmit hammer next to the bridge drake then yes, 99 times per day

I bow even if they backstab me while I'm doing it, because I only invade people that touch my woods.

>saying the n-word

Some 14 year old edge lord forgot to go back to their quarantine:

>n-bomb

Must you have to inject racism into everything?

dark souls "etiquette" is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. What retards came up with it?

If someone is invading my world then no, they can fuck off, if it’s an actual duel then sure

>hello carving (478)

Fuck I miss pissing people off in invasions.

Redditors

lmao like nigger every got a fucking reply on 4channel. this fucking place has changed.

Pretty sure he had hacked stats, but at least he didn't turn on invuln. So many PvP encounters I had ended with the opponent turning on hacks and then turning on my own to see who could force the other into a pit. Good times.

>replying to niggers
whats wrong with you niggers

If your in the spot everyone considers the duel zone (battle burg) (fire bridge) (pontiff room) as long as you don't drink who gives a shit, everywhere else who gives a shit. if its a function in the game I'm gonna use it to win.

>roommate wearing full havel with uchikatana
>invader bows
>R1's him
the fat animations get me every time

>if its a function in the game I'm gonna use it to win
>don't drink

where do you think you are user

>room in school with a guy who loves to play brawl competitively
>throws a tantrum when I turn the items on and pick a non-flat stage
fuck off it's a party game, I hate people who make up stupid rules in games not meant to be taken seriously. I'd point down in DS1 at noobs and keep doing it until they get close them blast them with black fire. It teaches them not to trust everyone and everything they meet. You could bow and I bow then get backstabbed by a moundmaker on your side, so fuck you.

I could have worded it better im dead tired.

duel=no drink
invasion=who cares

the hyper honorfags the the worst of the community and the best to get reactions out of i swear I had a dude added on steam who had his own set of invisible rules he'd follow like attack in a duel if you use more than 2 buffs. i had a lot of fun pissing him off

I know what you meant, I just wanted to be a dick.

This.

Usually depends on the situation for me, if I can be arsed ill bow back but if i'm trying to do something at the time ill just run in and kill them.

do people really get mad about pointing down in these games?
i think its really funny

yes, they do. it's kind of a shame that dark souls became a household name like it did. people take the pvp so seriously when it was just supposed to be some unbalanced fun tacked on at the end.

Used to be
>if two person bows before a battle then it’s an honorable duel with no running outside the “arena” and no healing, best man win
Now
>two person bows
>as soon as someone starts losing they chug estus and leg it
The first time it happened I was so taken aback I just stood there and died. I messaged him about honorable duel but he had no idea I was talking about. I guess it’s a dead thing now.

Also to add to this, I don’t advocate bowing before every fight. Only if you plan to duel honorably. If you’re just trying to use some cheap tactics, have the decency to not bow so I know I’m free to be equally cheap and spammy.

God no
If you're invading my game, I'm going to try and push your shit in. Fuck all that bowing and etiquette shit.

I mean sure if it's a summoned duel, yeah. Invasion fuck no I'm here uninvited to murder your ass. Summons I expect a bit of etiquette, invasions I expect/have none

Please don’t complain when I have two blues ready to gank you.

Switch announcement and >bloodbourne free

This. Invading is for ruining someone's progress and you should do whatever it takes. The same applies if someone is invading you and trying to ruin YOUR progress. If you don't like it, you can play offline.

>The first time it happened I was so taken aback I just stood there and died. I messaged him about honorable duel but he had no idea I was talking about. I guess it’s a dead thing now.

...

I don't. I know invasions are unfair, that's why I stopped playing 3 and went back to 1 and 2 where it isn't 4v1 95% of the time

It sounds stupid but I literally said out loud, “what the fuck are you doing, guy, you’re not being honorable,” as I dropped the controller in shock at the sight of him running away to estus.

No, Dark Souls PvP was made for being as BM as humanly possible

youtube.com/watch?v=A-BMZ_uxgJA#t=11m27s

This is how I've always seen it. If you're summoning an invader to PVP then you should probably bow, but you don't have to. If you invade someone or get invaded then bowing is out the fucking window.

As said it's basically just whatever. If anyone actually gets assblasted then they're a bitch.

I mean if the host chugs, you fight him until you're out of sippys and then crystal out so his ass doesn't get souls for winning. Why give souls to a guy with double the estus as you?

If you're the host, laugh and pour estus all over your body and crush their body and spirit. Bear in mind you're a scumbag, but care about that as much as you want.

>so I guess people were just nicer to each other
That's some nice equipment you've got there.

Do Potato Marshal rules still apply in Demon's Souls?

>Kotaku

I don't want to believe the resetera sliding rumors, but you're making it real hard not to.

>Being mad because you didn't testing the water
He is a moron.

I only bow when being summoned as a dragon spirit

Every other PvP is a ffa

If I'm in a PvP arena specifically then sure. But faggots that try to enforce a code of honour for invasions are massive cunts that really spoil the game.

They're called INVASIONS, not duels. They're meant to be a form of asymmetrical gameplay involving traps and ambushes, where the whole level gets used if need be and the invader takes advantage of the enemies in the level while the host has the support of Phantoms, increased health and estus etc. Taking what is such a dynamic and fun thing and turning it into "LET US BOW IN AN OPEN AREA DEVOID OF ENEMIES AND THEN FIGHT LIKE GENTLEMEN" is such boring assholery.

Or they'll try to bow and be graceful and do all that shit and then chug estus anyway while ganking with their phantoms, and then also have the gall to send you hatemail for killing them anyway.

Yeah no, that's horseshit. Bowing in fight clubs is just polite and a good indicator of the fight starting. Invasions were full on acid cloud, scraping spear fuck you with a rake as hard as possible territory. Because they're invasions. Not duels.

I don't participate in Souls PvP, period. I always play offline and if I find myself online and I get invaded, I disconnect my internet.

Fuck you, I want to play and enjoy the game I paid for, not stroke some shitter's e-peen as he mocks a nigga with gestures, mechanics abuse, spamming one move or abuse of terrain.

The entire PvP aspect is built around My Fun >>>>>> Your Fun and it has attracted the worst cunts in gaming. The games are dope as fuck, but the community is by far the worst in gaming. Zero human decency and replies to this post will no doubt prove me wrong (though now that I say this, people might pretend to act nice to try not to)

Sounds like you’re just mad cus you’re shit

Invasions can be fun. If you don't like them, that's fine, but they have been my most enjoyable and memorable experiences. Yes, they are also among the most frustrating, but the variation keeps things interesting.

>zwei

easy parries. You can be 9000 ping br.

I mainly enjoy pve and don't ever gear for pvp or even think about it, but I'll swing at a guy if he invades me. Sounds like you're just a pussy.

>Or they'll try to bow and be graceful and do all that shit and then chug estus anyway while ganking with their phantoms,
this happens more than it should. The trick is to isolate the moron.

Ill emote if the person I invade throws out an emote. Otherwise Im running at you to smack ur butt

>play online
>get invaded
>cry
>play offline
>dont get invaded
>switch to online?

Yeah, how dare he usa that good thing that you're supposed to use in the game.

lots of laughs

Only in the PVP zone (behind Pontiff). After that its free game.

What were the Demon's Souls and Dark Souls days like

really not much different than it is now. Maybe some more rubber banding and if you were fighting someone with a zweihander/washing pole you might as well just let them kill you because the hitboxes on those weapons + not-so-great hit detection meant they could hit you from virtual miles away.

>dark souls on gfwl
random question, but did anyone get banned for using trainers and mods on gfwl? i know it's patched out

>tfw none of PC Dark Souls games have the shit talking anymore.

There was nothing like beating someone then getting that message a minute later calling you a fuck head then telling him scoreboard.

I played a decent amount of DS2/3 PVP but it still never came close to the amount I put into DS1 on the Xbox.

fuck no its retarded

>gettin mad because he didn't follow the made up honor code you impose on yourself

There are no rules in das pvp. You should assume everyone is out for blood. It makes fight clubs more fun too when no one knows if someone might pop off and 1shot the host.

no. if youre invading, i want you fucking dead so ill go through all means to get you killed.

Why are Honortards so fucking cancer
Fight clubs and Dragon covenant exist.

holy fucking kek

>my fun>your fun
>implying I don't enjoy people killing me in ways I never would have expected
Some faggot got me on the bridge to dragon sanctum (destroy enough eggs and the dragons burn the bridge before the host gets a chance to pass) in DS2 and I laughed for 2 minutes straight.
Invaders are some of the most fun, vicious and creative fuckers in online gaming.

What are you even talking about? I don't understand how a new site like that has such a large non-shill following, yet you're bagging on a blog site that's been around since almost as long as Sup Forums.

>you can play offline
Nope. If one of you fags try to invade I either alt+f4 just to waste your time or pull out some cheap setup and slap your shit.

>DS PvP

who does this to themselves

>free

I wave when I have an opportunity to duel the host. Usually its just me backstabbing the fucker while hes busy with mobs because im a cheap fucker though :^)

Yes.

Because it's not a very fun game and just imposing those arbitrary limitations turns what should be a 2 second slaughter into something of a test of timing, at least.

>being a literal faggot

>reddit is that way
Fucking niggers.

Stop being so butt-blastered, they make a good point, you filth-mouthed degenerate.

How's that working out for you?
