The online of Dark Souls is an abomination in practice, an interesting idea theoretically. The netcode is fucking garbage and you can't co-op without getting ganked.

You don't need to kill them to know you've won, getting them so worked up, terrified and furious that they disconnect is all the more shameful.

I love knowing I wasted their time

>>386186937
Nigger, disconnects earn you way more invader points than actually killing the host.

I would honestly rather just spend an entire day farming NPCs for covenant drops over actually trying to get them the "legitimate way", it can be really fucking tedious when all you're getting is "le ebin stream gank squad XD" or someone who would legitimately rather chameleon up and stop playing for upwards of an hour rather than fight for 5 minutes and then continue on with their day.

>>386187979
did the game actually crash because it was buggy or was it just crashing for cheaters who didn't want to admit it?

Must have been restarting sotfs every 15 minutes with that attitude

These threads make me laugh, and then a little sad because I know what it's like to miss out on things because you'd rather tell yourself that you're wasting potential than risk finding out that you have none at all.

You can't win an invasion in DaS 7/10 times due to the games god awful netcode. BR's and other third worlders should not be allowed to play these games.

>>386190552
>BR's and other third worlders should not be allowed to play these games.
Games like this really should let the player decide the acceptable ping delay between them and their opponent. I don't care if you're shitty third world servers are empty and you want to play on my superior country's server, if you can't keep your ping below 150 (which is pretty fucking lenient) I don't want to even look at you.

>He thinks that the laggy mess that is souls pvp is the problem

so play offline like the pussy faggot you are kid, pathetic kill yourself

>>386187979
Pcuks ruined the entire series

>>386191840
Then play in offline mode.

Literally the only reasons for playing online are:
You're too much of a pussy to face bosses alone.
You're completely unable to function if your boyfriends aren't following you around in-game at all times.
You desire player-based combat.

I'm doing a co-op run of DaS 3 right now with my older brother for fun. Literally does not fall under literally any of your literal catagories.

So what you're saying is you can only have fun when you're fighting opponents who follow rigid patterns and set routines?

Why do people freak out about dark spirit invasions again?

>he won't do anything else and he can't kill me cause I've got enough items to cure
>eventually he realizes that and disconnects

Fuck you too. I later got invaded by the same dude with the same tactics, I just disconnected and got on with my life.

anyone else get sadistic pleasure from cucking blues out of their rewards?

for those that dont know, if you crystal out of an invasion, blues get sent back with nothing. feels great

>>386192528
Because this generation has been brought up to believe a 100% chance of failure by your own terms is better than a 50% chance of failure by someone else.

>>386189007
DaS3 was pretty buggy on PC, desu, but I never had a crash in all my hours of playing it.

Most of the bugginess came from cooping/invading with people. There were quite a few times where I'd get summoned to help with a boss and get stuck outside of the door. In one instance, I got stuck with an invader, and we both just sat outside waiting to see if the host would die to the stronger boss without any help.

>>386193440
>Most of the bugginess
I had specifically, that is. not in general. i don't know if everyone had my online issues.

>>386193061
Speaking of which, does the summon rate for blue phantoms still rely on how old your account is?

>TFW die because the blue you summoned cares more about trying to protect his own life so he can get his item than trying to protect your own
Fuck you too, buddy.
Whenever I'm Blue I always just throw all caution to the wind and hurl myself at the opposition.

>>386183594
Nice blog, keep us updated oks

>>386193661
im not sure, ive never heard of anything like that before. all i know is they get summoned more often, sometimes in greater numbers since around the time the latest dlc came out. had one recently where 2 blues got summoned in, 1 died, then almost immediately a third gets brought in. more people to annoy, i guess.

>>386187703
Anon please explain this story more

>>386188935
Surprised your friends are okay with you alt f4ing every single time you sense a conflict

Why not just play offline if you're afraid of invaders?

>>386196825
muh achievements

>>386197284
Pretty sure they make a mark of what you've done and if you trigger an achievement you'll get them when you next log online. Also achievements are a meme to keep you playing.

The only tines I've disconnected in souls games have been when I thought the invader was simply taking the piss. I remember the last time was in that forest area with the giant crabs that one of the factions guards, I got invaded there and ran around for a long enough time looking for the guy so I could fight and either win or lose just so I could continue on my way but he must have been hiding out or something because I then sat at the bonfire spamming the "hello" sound item but he didn't show up.
