>noone to invade anymore
Go play ds2 coop, theres a lot of people right now
>DS2Not playing that piece of trash
stop trying to harass other players
>>750187637Only ds3 had good invasions1 just did not work on a technical level2 had it completely backwards, where it was just punishing players that were already doing poorly3 was just perfect, especially in the first few weeks/months
>>750187808I don't like systems where you basically need to be playing in co-op to get invaded. Means I never get invaded, who plays co-op?
Guarding the forest but nobody is coming.
>>750187712If you play DS2 above 30fps and have proper internet (I.E. aren't a third-worlder) it's a non-issue. Hitboxes aren't the problem.
>>750187846But that's not how it worked at allIt was easy to get invaded as solo by just playing the game normally
>DS1Install the PVP mod. It gives you an item that lets you search for valid targets in every single map.>DS2No one plays that garbage>DS3Get the wex mod. Does the same thing as the DS1 one. Literally farmed the 30 vertebra shackles 2 weeks ago with it and didn't get banned. Found matches extremely quickly at SL120Anyway, invasions in soulslop is objectively an awful experience. Way too many faggots co-op with their gay boyfriend because they're bad at vidya and they can just disconnect during a backstab. I legitimately matched against the same faggot 3 times in a row in DS3 and he kept doing that. I thought there was supposed to be a penalty?
>>750187673I have been playing DaS2 all week and barely got any invasions and never did any co-op.If that mod separates the players, then fuck it.
>>750187959>Way too many faggots co-op with their gay boyfriend because they're bad at vidyaThat's exactly what invasions meant to balance though. If you want your gay 1v1, just hop into the arena with other redditors
>>750187846>>750187915invading coop only was only in elden ring. But iirc dark souls 3 also had a thing where if you are in coop there's a higher chance of being invaded.But in elden ring you can use the bone thing to become open to invasions as a solo.
DS1 had the best invasions. I remember being level 5 and invading in the undead burg with a +5 black knight sword.
>>750188034I thought the balance lied in the ember HP difference and the number of estus flasks that the host had? Anyway, I don't even want a gay 1v1 because PVP is fundamentally broken in these games. The fact that the lag makes it so that parrying is a coinflip mechanic ruins the whole thing for me.
I used to unplug my internetI'm not that passionate about what are fairly middling RPGs so I didn't want to try to compete with people who are, I've got better things to do
>>750187637Sorry, I'm running a mage this time and Capra Demon is just too hard.
>>750187808also invasions in 1 ds1 kinda sucked because the areas were so small. They were fun when people were just learning the game but now people just clear them in minutes
>>750188092Yes. When you pop an ember, your priority is just as high as a coop group's, then after the first invasion you go to the bottom of the list. Dying and using another ember or going to a new area resets your priority
>>750187712Skill issue
>>750187915It's so weighted towards co-op that I've never experienced a solo invasion.
>>750187874I admire the unique fashion
>>750188161After you get shanked in DS1 you had like 30 minutes of guaranteed no invasions so it wasn't that big of a deal.
I will never forgive the "remaster" killing Prepare to Die.
>>750187637How about go play an actual pvp game instead of looking for pve players (who have actual friends), to jerk off over annoying?
>>750187637All Souls games are surprisingly active if you use pvp mods like Wex Dust. Elden Ring is actually the one that feels the deadest since there are no such mods for it and From just did a terrible job overall when it comes to the matchmaking mechanics.
>>750187637what weapon level are you at?
>>750189302It's the prepare to die edition.
>>750187637I used to invade/help people with my twink elite chaos claymore build over there.Good times.
>>750188210how can I popparino my poppy pop ember pop though? t. poppin' papa
>>750188126Shitters like this is why pvp in souls games is fundamentally bad
>>750189829What do you want?Honorabru 1 v 1 dueru 24/7. HAI!It's an RPG, man. People want to make dick ass rogues and grief wizards.
>>750187637any DS2 chad is welcome to invade my warty leaky ugly bastard shithole any time, frens
Noone? Peter Noone?
>>750187637>DS1dead after 2012. and people are mostly into PVE >DS2somehow alive>DS3somehow alive>BBPVP was just a sugestion PVE is a meme on DS1 if you tryhard you can go to a discord.
And Alexander weapt for there were no more worlds left to conquer
>>750189892Fair
i got ds prepare to die key for cheap but quickly realized how much of a piece of shit this port is, how does this thing go for hundreds of bucks? should i just get the remaster or is there a reason to mod ptd edition and use that over the remaster? and what mods should i use?
>>750187637I invaded a good handful of people last night in remastered on PC, and fought off a few forest faggots while doing early game on a new character.You have to stay pretty low level for good activity in the older games. A couple good ranges are>SL40, WL5-10 -- depths, blighttown, forest, sens lower>SL60, WL10-15 -- sens upper, anal rodeo, ariamis, catacombsI find Elden Ring to be a lot more fun, because it's not 90% curb stomping solo hosts.

Invasion is such a cool mechanic. It's just a shame it has been cheapened over time. To begin with were the Anor Londo gank squads, where it was just 'wasting your time to waste other people's time'. Then hackers took over and shit just took a nosedive. Dark Souls 3 had some interesting invasions because it was so chaotic, but there weren't really invasion-designed areas and everything was a much larger area. Then in Elden Ring there were just too many abused bugs so tons of invasions were just instant deathrot or Carian Retaliation abusers. The quality of invasions really got fucked up as a mechanic over time. Where in Dark Souls at least you were just afraid of being invaded because an invader would just be a massive threat like a boss, later on you were just annoyed by invaders because you knew it was some bug/cheese abuser shithead.And yeah I didn't mention Demon's Souls with the scraping spear because honestly noone really cared or cares.
DS3 has big levels with lots of verticality and alternate paths which made invasions fun, but rollspam rollcatch pvp gets tiring.
I want Fromsoft to make another Dark Souls 1 except it's a totally different world but it's still interconnected and filled with weird people. You know what I mean?
>>750187712never seen a skill issue so obvious
>>750191397I kinda think the opposite. There was too much running around and actually trying to get close enough for a fight to happen. People resorted to arenas. I mean, it was fun when it worked, but it didn't work a lot of the time is my point.
>>750191437>DS1>interconnectedTheres like one smart shortcut in the entire game and is the hydra stairs. besides that the game has worse level loops than the other games. just highwall is better designed than the entirety of Dark Souls 1
>>750191564I don't know man. I like chasing and hunting down hosts.
>>750191571Yes the individual levels weren't as good but the interconnectivity and no fast travel is its own appeal. It feels more immersive knowing that you can't easily warp to a merchant and buy purging stones or moss when you need it.
>>750187637Not going to buy a game twice. They had their chance to make a good PC port and they failed. Instead of fixing it they just made a new DS1 those fucking greedy bastards.
>>750191731I finished DS1 like 5 times and I used the bonfire warp mode in my latest one. Needless to say, it made the game more enjoyable.The interconnectivity is just a novelty.
