Based anti-pvper.

Dark Souls PVP is fucking plagued with cheaters on PC.

dont come here everyday then?

In Dark Souls 2, you are invaded if you're not human. Dumb fuck

>he didn't play Best Souls 2
based retarded poster

Not mad at all. DCs are honestly more amusing than killing you and if you do it enough they eventually ban you.

Dark Souls 3 was cancer because of "le honorable duel invasion man xD" bullshit.

>get killed by sanic speed naked red man with his bare fists
>all my stats get converted to 1, get a billion souls, get banned by namco's shit anti-cheat, and my cat dies all in the span of 1 minute

Gets a whole bunch of shit as the host and people can only be +2 weapon improvement over him and can summon and can be like 20 levels higher than the invaders. This still isn't enough to balance it for casuals, why even bother fromsoft just bring us back dark souls 1 invasions.

I walk through entire areas as human and it's common not to get invaded

>bohoho im old i cant do anything

That mentality is going to be the cause of your depression at a later age when you don't need to work anymore but at the same time are totally alienated from the modern world so you literally have nothing to do

depends on what platform you're playing on but yeah this

I've done it over 70 times in BB and more than I can think to count in DeS both on Playstations. Never even gotten a warning, lots of hate mail though from fags with insta-gib builds and scraping spear. That doesn't event count the blatant cheating I've seen. Teleporters, fliers, insta-kills. Fuck anyone who thinks Souls PVP is legit. Just L O L.

Eh, invasions are a component of the game that the devs intentionally put there to be experienced by everyone. You're missing out.

Why not just disconnect ur cable instead of breaking it

Just unplug it. If you push those little tabs in before pulling, you can remove an ethernet cable at any time.

This. I just wanna run around with my bros beating up demons and shit. Luckily we didn't get invaded much but every time we did, at least two of us d/c then make the rest of the way to a bonfire solo.
Invading is the most pathetic shit I've seen in a game and you can tell the only people that do it are people that lose in every other aspect of life.

Also you can play offline or hollowed so, seriously why does fromsoft still bother trying to appease PVE babies? There are so many options for them to play offline, oh wait that means they won't be able to summon their friends to carry them through the bosses. When you want to be human for the summons but can't take the invasions. This is what's wrong with the nu-soul community, too many casual tourists scared of a red man pointing down at them.

Or you can, you know, play offline.

Be wary of salt.

This is the correct answer to my post. You ought not care but express your own affection for the mechanic. I personally hate it and I am not advocating to have it removed, but if they force it on me then I will deal with it in my own way.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little hollow? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Darkwraiths, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Anor Londo, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in poise-stacked warfare and I'm the top parry king in the entire Darkroot Forest. You are nothing to me but just another host. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this realm, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over PSN? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of invaders across Lordran and your humanity is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, pygmy. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can invade anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in R1 spam, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Blades of the Darkmoon and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of Lordran, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Anything but that
Please

Why do you even play online in the first place if you're going to disconnect from invaders? Obviously you're not doing co-op since an invader wouldn't be an issue. Do you really expect to reap the benefits of bloodstains and messages without a small risk?

Yeah im a hackor

Got invaded in Bloodborne the other day
I had no idea people were still doing invasions and pvp
Kicked his ass

>Cable conection shorts
>Port or the modem now useless

That was my first post and I graduated years ago. Going against their intention shows you disagree with it. I think they should force it even harder so people like you can't slip through. Always online would work, so your game crashes if you d/c.

>and playing the PVE faithfully
Invasions are the mechanic by which the game tries to fix the imbalance introduced by coop, dodging that mechanic is not playing "faithfully"
I don't have any issues with you d/cing to avoid invaders, but stop trying to justify it. You just don't like the challenge, that's it. I brought up the game journalist because it's the same shit, cheating to beat the game is whatever but then he tried to justify it for some stupid reason. Don't do that.

Cheaters. If you don't PVP normally and you encounter even a single cheater, it is enough to ruin you on the whole rest of the PVP experience.

When they cheat with teleports and invul, your friends don't matter. They are sheep too ready for the slaughter. HTH

Damn dude, you in gymanastics? Because that's some backflips!

I disagree with it, I don't go around telling other people they can't PVP or shouldn't. I just warn them it's not going to happen in my game. My game I paid for. I get to decide how it plays out, who I play with and who I play against.

If your solution to that is to just punish people with "always online" then congrats, you've outed yourself as a cheating PVP'er who just loves easy kills and hates being robbed of them. Exposed. Lol.

This brainlet is getting tilted, keep it up guvs

Yea Forums think games qre destinations not journeys, they see invaders as people preventing them from beating the game so they can talk about how they beat the souls games. Not as a way of having fun with other players. PVP to the average story walker is just frustration and agony, losing a fight with an invader means being sent back and having to do more work to say I beat the game. It's sad. Yea Forums is full of tourists and casuals now who think disconnecting is devilish, wow my mere existence made you frantically grab at your ethernet cable, you sure showed me bro, try not to shake too much thinking about how close you were to getting your shit pushed in by the evil red man wanting to ruin all your progress! Like dark souls pvp is cancer! ugh the red guys just want to send me back all I want to do is beat dark souls and never pick it up again! Like the booty blasting in this thread just because people play the game like how it is meant to be played. They want to summon and have fun with their buddies carrying them through the game but can't handle it when some red guy fights them and their buddy, it's too much pressure, he might lose and I'll get pointed down at, why go 4 minutes back to the campfire I'll just disconnect and summon my friend lol. Well Enjoy that ban cool kid. It's sad how much advantages fromsoft gives hosts now but storywalkers don't use them, they still disconnect at the first site of a level 10 red dude with a +2 weapon. Why butcher the pvp for people who will never participate in it no matter how casual you make it for them.

It should be the opposite to be honest.

As a PvEer, why should I care for a unbalanced sidegame mode added as an afterthought to prolonge longevity in a game like Dark Souls or Bloodborne?

I have over 1500 hours in all 5 Soulsborne games combined. I'm quite content with the 95% of the game I play for, why should i bother with the other 5? If i wanted competitive pvp id play street fighter or something.

This.

I wouldn't mind it if it wouldn't be minmaxing tryhards almost all the time - there were a couple of good matches I've come across (both ones I've won and lost), but the majority of the invaders are absolute cancer.

I think you're the autist here for not getting clear sarcasm. Taking things too literally is a sign of autism

No fucks given about the game getting too easy, already beat it a dozen times before. Coop playthroughs can be so fun but getting a huge priority at being invaded makes it a chore.

If I get invaded I just go to the boss.

The only time this doesn’t work is if there is an event I need to do before beating the boss. I will play offline if there is something I need to do before beating the boss.

The only thing I feel like I'm missing out on are the soapstone messages. Summoning, invading, being invaded, I couldn't care less about. It's not worth the subscription fee. That's not why I bought the game.

At least in first game you had to be human to be red phantom and became hollow if you died in the other world. Cant recall if this was the case in the other games, but it was always stacked against reds from the beginning.

And keep in mind pre patch humanity was severely limited.

Sour grapes

why do people care about invasions? if you really are that concerned with your souls being lost, its ludicrously easy to just put yourself in a safe place (e.g. next to a bonfire), or if you don't want to pvp but you to want to stay online just go fight the boss. why not just embrace the invasion? it never happened enough anyway.

I don't particularly care but it would be nice if the game said "connection to the host server was lost, Host of ember was Vanished" and then you recovered your humanity/gained an amount of souls or something like that.

???
I bought the console and the video game, why would I want to pay more for online that I don't use? If I want to play multiplayer games I can just use my PC.

Like what? Most of the games I'm interested in have physical releases and are singleplayer games.

>I was merely pretending
Unplug your ethernet

While I never disconnect from people who invade me, it is pretty lame that all of them are either twinked the fuck out or cheaters. There is no in between, and there is no regular dude invading me in my level of gear; it's always some faggot playing a meta setup or something that has a cohesive combo he can do on me. Add in lagstabs and other wifi bullshit, and there's just no reason for me to even consider that there's a "git gud" for this type of game.

If you want to "git gud" at something, see me on a fighting game.

Lol you can't even keep your own insult coherent. You can call me a casual all you like if it makes you feel better about the truth of Rolls-borne PVP, which is that it's a huge joke overrun with lag-stabs and cheaters. I don't go for cheevos. I play the games with my friends to do the PVE and that's all I get out of them. Yes I am probably more casual when it comes to Mainly-PVE games with shitty PVP rolled in.

Invaders who complain are the worst scum to ever exist.

I respect them, hence I do not call for their removal or to ban invasions. I have never said any of those things.

However, I don't have to play by them. This is also an option, you see. You're fine liking PVP and PVP'ing all you like, but posters who treat it like you're missing out on something fun are just fucking retarded. PVP has always been for minmaxing spergs and cheaters and to claim otherwise is either disingenuous or bad faith.

Souls pvp is a fucking joke, people that want to pvp should queue up and fight in an arena or something. Imagine if you were playing Skyrim or something and then some random fag showed up to fuck your shit up while you're peacefully questing

Nope. I respect other people's faiths and religions, but I don't have to live my life by them.

All the same I respect the developer's intentions and I do not modify my game to remove PVP. I play using all the rules and options given to me. And one of those options is to avoid PVP. If the game can't literally force me into it, then I don't have to do it!

I would also say I'm respecting the intentions of the Dev's more than Lagstab McCheaterPort. Hope this helps.

Respectable.

I am perfectly aware invasions ARE meant to be unfair and keep me on my toes and all of that business, so I usually just play about as cheap as they can get. Invisibility/invisible rings, mimicry, seeds, running, dodge spamming, range-locking/sniping, phantom spamming; if any fail, just rinse and repeat.
If one side gets to be cheap, everyone gets to be cheap. I usually don't bother disconnecting though, feels more satisfying to just let them waste their time and force a rage-quit.

I fail to see how playing with his friends and disconnecting every time he gets invaded is a good time.Not only he is wasting his time,but he is wasting his friend's time as well.Even worse when they can just gank the red and be on their way.

why cut it when you can just pull it out you stupid fucking nigger

Nah cause I like to be summoned and see ghosts and make stupid jumps to read dumbass messages. Keep your ebin r1'ing burrito lagstabs away from me.

>Get invaded
>He's lagging like a motherfucker
>Can literally do nothing as I get backstabbed to death
>Taunts me
Yeah no thanks, fuck online, fuck niggers and spics and fuck jannies.

Just as the dried fingers increases invasion frequency, they should have added an item that could decrease or even stop them for a time.

This.
Invasions are extremely fun events you fools.
In DS1 I had one guy repeatedly invade in anor londo and he camped at the other end of the roof railings. He then shot at me with the big bow that causes lots of knockback so he would make my character fall and die while I was transversing the railings trying to kill him.
I didn't quit like a little bitch but actually kept trying until I was able to run through the raillings at full speed, while dodging his shots to kill him.
He gave up.

if you die while invaded or kill the invader, you can't be invaded for 15 minutes unless you're in a covenant area

but it would need to have a downside to truly be a counterpart to the dried fingers. such as not being able to summon at all. that makes it pretty much the same as being hollow so why bother having such an item at all?

Nigger I don't want to have "fun" with you, dancing around for 7 fucking minutes against some obnoxious meta build only to have to chase the faggot all through the level once he hides behinds mobs cause he ain't as gud as he thought.

>Imagine if you were playing Skyrim or something and then some random fag showed up to fuck your shit up while you're peacefully questing
That IS in Skyrim though. NPCs can hire grunt mercs to hunt you down and kill you for transgressions or if the Dark Brotherhood is feeling particularly ornery. I once completed an earlygame dungeon with an a guest NPC and the moment I got back to the overworld four mercs showed up to the dungeon entrance and picked a fight with both of us. Checked the bodies to find a hitlist on me, for no real reason from an NPC I didn't remember meeting.

>This is the correct answer to my post.

That and the fact that you're a fucking PUSSY!

>forced to pirate the prepare to die edition because they removed it from steam and I didn't want to play the remaster
>was never able to experience invasions
Are 2 and 3 worth playing?

>People actually trying to argue that invasions aren't an intended part of the game, or that it's some kind of side mode
You can do whatever you want, but don't pretend you're not just pussying out of a problem the game intended to have in your way.

>was never able to experience invasions
this is false because there are NPC invaders

Third party here, you're in the wrong, the guy talking about unplugging cable was clearly being making a shitty sarcastic joke, everyone else took it too seriously

this and the fact that i can deny some retarded invader this part of the game they paid for makes quitting after they loaded in just so they can look at the same loading screen again makes it even better lmao

>Dark dick has invaded your daughters tight white pu-

You know what I mean. A retarded npc showing up and dying isn't the same as fighting a player.

>something you can completely avoid and barely had any balancing done
>not a minigame

>interested in the story and lore
>enjoying the atmosphere
>suddenly invaded by MegaFaggot69
>all immersion thrown out the window

You better believe I played offline.

you are right
because the NPC actually fights you, a player runs away or just rolls around like a retard

based adultposter

the remaster is objectively superior though
>fps cap doubled
>easier to summon friends
>more people playing

kill yourself

Lol at thinking cheating and minmax bullshit from PVP'ers is just another obstacle in the game.

If an "intended" part of the game required me to pay a subscription service and wasn't available when my internet cut out then it's hardly intended. This isn't an MMO here.

>Actually thinking pulling the plug makes invaders mad
By the time you sit back down after bitching out, the invader is probably already loading into another world. Most invaders take DC's as a win anyways, or did you actually think people care about invasion rewards?

SSIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

dsfix worked fine with me though. and art style gets such a big downgrade that i didn't want my first playthrough to be on the version with fucked up graphics.

If the invader had stylish armor and complimentary weapon I allowed the duel

If it was some tryhard with optimized clown gear and op weapon then fuck you *pulls cord*

The game can't exactly do anything about you plug pulling/not having internet, or are you saying that instead of letting people that can't connect play the game anyways, they should have just forced it to be an always online game?

That's not the only thing you miss out on by not being in human form/body form/ whatever. Doesn't make it less part of the game.

There's also plenty of poorly balanced aspects in the Souls series that are still just as much a part of the game as anything else.

>, or did you actually think people care about invasion rewards?
when i play a game i care about gameplay
not getting any and just watching loading screens must suck

based

Either one. Either be an always-online game and account for invasions and summoning, or don't make them essential due to the nature of offline play. Don't say invasions are intended and you're missing out when one isn't willing to pay for PSN and so that isn't an option, but gets to experience the other 95% of the game they bought regardless.

I've been playing internet MP longer than most people on this site have been alive and I wouldn't bother with this shit either because it doesn't interest me. Maybe you should grow up.

It’s not dead, I got summoned within a minute of dropping sign this Sunday.

It takes longer for the DC'er to get back into the game than it does for the invader to invade another world. Not to mention most people don't DC, so it's not actually that big of a deal.

just that comment already made you mad, of course DCIng make you faggots mad lmao
>search for someone to invade
>wait a lot
>loading screen
>oops he didnt want to pvp and quit
>loading screen
>back to waiting for searching another player

meanwhile PVE player

Don't confuse intended with essential. Invasions are intended, not essential. Things like covenants are exactly the same. If covenants were somehow online only, then offline players not having access to them, which wouldn't hinder the game itself, would not make covenants any less of an intended part of the game. Offline mode being a thing and not having invasions is just a convenience.

>or did you actually think people care about invasion rewards
I assumed I wasn't playing against literal cuckolds yes

>color code doesn't follow a pattern of full color and stripe color
dropped

Fuck off google shill

>wait a lot
I mean, those five seconds of the "Invading another world" message that immediately pops up might seem like a long time to some people.

You dropped using Ethernet?

>Most invaders take DC's as a win anyways
win against who? because you obviously didnt find an opponent lol

Imagine being so beta that you have to play a Souls game offline.

Congratulations?

Why would I be mad? Only one of us is losing out on an experience.

Praise these nuts!

Imagine being you.

Imagine playing a Souls game for the online segments
Why are you even playing the game at all?

>Sekiro isnt going to sell because it has no PVP
>PVP is what keeps Souls games alive and also the most important part of it
>Sekiro is the best selling FROM game
imagine the coping PVP tryhards have to through, but im sure they are just in denial

This is why we needed soul memory. But you faggots had to bitch and moan endlessly

Autists don't call each other pussies. Try visiting the outside world sometime. You are an adult, aren't you?

You're a pussy. It's completely fine to not experience PVP in Dark Souls but that makes you a pussy as well.

>Forcing your opponent to run away isn't a victory
It's not even a time waster. Invasions are plentiful unless you're playing DaS2 for some reason.

Pathetic.

Imagine playing a Souls game for both offline and online components.

K

but you didnt force anyone to run
you just invaded someone who didnt want to take part in PVP
the only thing you did was waste your own time
