i just have to get this off my chest. invading has been ruined. it used to be, aside from the occasional gank squad, it was one on one murder. if the red phantom was confident, they could chase down any host and end them. if they stayed hidden behind mobs, it was more time for the host to find a phantom. and in 2, they could always use a seed. this was one of the biggest reasons why dark souls was hard. at any time, a twinked out red prick could ruin your day. beating a phantom was often more of a challenge than the local boss.
now, the host always has more estus, more hp, and between 1-3 allies, one of which warps in automatically. not to mention the easily farmable seeds that remove the only advantage red phantoms have.
so now, all my invasions end in the same way. i invade, i see an entire army of white people. i go hide behind the beefiest mob around, because anything else is suicide. the phantoms stick in one spot and pepper everything with arrows. only daring to move when anything i can use to my advantage is dead. the end result 90% of the time is five people standing around for 30 minutes, taking turns bouncing arrows off shields. or, they use a seed, and i find a nice corner to hide in, not wanting to waste estus farming souls for my enemy. and they sit in a nice corner, waiting for the mobs to finish me off. it's boring, it's stupid. it's a waste of time for everyone involved.

how the fuck do you deal with those scythe crows once they've fully transformed? the tracking and speed on their flying attacks is insane.

You are nothing.
Try restarting because you were unsure if the orange box that appears when you select an option appeared or not. Also you have to restart the game as well since the save file is fucked (if you start a new character after the "bugged" one).
Plus having to delete a build 11 hour in the making. Because your connection was finicky when you picked up the red eye orb, and that obviously means that you're going to get banned when you use it. Also in frustration you decide to close the game after quitting to the title screen, but you're unsure if you waited enough time for the game to "truly" save thus ruining your save file if you don't delete it. This is actual true pain

There is no softban in DaS3, only a plug-puller shutoff and a cheater hardban. Both have giant popup messages telling you what happened. The plug-puller shutoff can be reversed once per character.
There, the idiocy has been avoided. Enjoy your quality game discussion.

It was unupgradeable though right?

>There is no softban in DaS3 Yes there is, there is even a huge bitchfest about the fact that you can get sofbanned if someone slaps you with some stat applying weapons.

Yep.

yeah, but it still had good damage and a huge counter mod and stacked with rob/ flynn
Elijah Roberts
Wheres the best place to invade at an early level?
Juan Long
Ohhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Wyatt Miller
It feels like Fromsoft wanted invasions to be more like team battles in this game. But having to rely on other invaders helping you is a pain in the ass, especially with friendly fire involved.
I really don't understand why sunlight invaders aren't considered allies with one another. It's the fucking jolly cooperation covenant.
Lincoln Taylor
No. That's complete bullshit. The "hacked" weapons do absolutely nothing. Both bamco and from support will tell you the same. Fuck back off to your pony basement malcolm.

They just need to remove seeds from the game. Invasions without them are fine.
Gavin Sanchez
They don't do anything. I was "got" by malcolm 3 times back when he was trying to push that meme. I'm still completely fine. To my knowledge if you get banned they actually tell you when you start the game now.
Mason Stewart
What level, weapon level should i be at? i know invading is tied to your weapon too.
Parker Russell

Isn't it midroll? Despite how slow it looks, it still works because DaS1 enemies aren't as aggressive.
Zachary Ramirez
>DaS3 babbies
Thomas Sanders
i agree. all it would take are a few counter buffs for reds. for example, a red counterpart to the blue covenant. their whole job would be to find worlds with both a white and a red and even the odds. that one thing would at least give reds a fighting chance.
Christopher Bell
Yeah yeah people said the same shit about 2.
Michael Reyes
ok so i know it's a popular thing to bash whatever you say, but this is the dumbest thing i've heard regarding invasions so far
i thrive off of solo, seed, fingers and so do many other people.
complain about the matchmaking first, then in-game issues second.
Landon Peterson
Armor in DaS1 matters so equip load does as well. You're better off starting as a Pyro in DaS1 though. If you want knight armor, then you can find elite knight armor very early on anyway.
Zachary Green
You don't do it for the damage you ignorant nigger.
It breaks hyper armor and if they don't have it they fall on the ground. When they are getting up you can spam it indefinitely until they pull the plug or finish them off with a set up spell.
Parker Sanders
>Sir Alonne Oh god, who let the B-Team make this

25-30 +2 you could go +3 to give you an edge an only lose a small amount of invasions

Okay, then make seeds only function when the host is solo and make them lock out any other phantoms until the host or invader dies.
Landon Foster
Yes, but, FromSoft likes to please the causal crowd and the casual crowd fucking hates invasions with a passion. It's only going to get worse.
Robert King
Are any of the three frostbite weapons decent? I know the status itself is useless but I like the effect.
THIRTY POINTS IN FAITH FIFTY POINTS IN STRENGTH GET MORNE'S GREAT HAMMER HAMMER WITH THE HAMMER
Samuel Clark
this would work but it still wouldn't help the 4 (sometimes even 5) versus 1 issue
i think if the host has a phantom the game should queue up one invader until another is also available to invade and they invade at the same time
Ayden Cooper
no its fatroll in das1
hes 100% right. das1 does a terrible job at showing what rolls do. a new player would just think thats fatroll is normal. why would they take armor off?
Jackson Evans

sir alonne is good, you fag
area is ass cancer though
pretty sure chaos fire ball 2shots them with appropriate rings
rapier is op, because it's a rapier the other 2 aren't great although you could get some gank kills via vordt's WA
Dominic Rogers
at least don't make them farmable. having 3-5 seeds a playthrough isn't terrible. also, make them incompatible with white phantoms.
i don't think you need to get rid of them entirely.
but the base problem remains of everyone just standing around shooting arrows. i mean it's one thing if you don't do this, but regardless, that's what 90% of invasions are now.
Dylan Sanders
It's a very very hollowed out pussy Are you interested?

>Slow as fuck and does less than my Lothic sword >Sword copied from dark souls 2 with stale as shit move set >have to get to ng+ to get the fucking weapon.
Also if you don't get the superior fused version of the thing, then you have the choice of: a bad straight sword or a slow ass "please stunlock me to death senpai" sword. Find one boss weapons that is not horse shit

gave a siegbrau to the crow and thought it worked the same as previously so quit to the menu before picking it up. will i be able to get it later or will the crow reject another siegbrau?

we did it because we played demon souls and knew what to do, maybe your some das1 bab idk. once again, why would you take your armor off faggot? the game tells you nothing about how anything works beyond basic controls. its shit game design, which das1 is filled with. idk why you are even trying to argue

Except no sane person ever traded their speed away, just min/maxed pieces so they could still go fast with maximum protection.
No souls game had good armor mechanics.

Logan Hughes
The 4 v 1 things isn't too bad. Just run to the boss and sit in front of the fog gate. By the time they get to you a fair number of the phantoms will usually be dead and the host will have next to no estus.
You also have the added bonus of locking them out of resting at any bonfires along the way.
My problem with them is like was mentioned previously, they remove an invaders only advantage. That just seems a bit unfair considering how many advantages a host already has. I would be fine with them being in and farmable if they did this: Making them force 1v1 would actually be a great use for them.
120 is for pure end game dueling, not invading. It is also for try-hard min-maxing. Has been since DeS.
John Williams
Dark Souls was my first game, and i figured it out because i'm not a brain dead mongoloid. having equipment affect your rolling speed is genius. the problem is communicating this mechanic through the tutorial
