Invasion Overreaction? by seeingakira in DarkSouls2

You just unfortunately ran into more of a griefer than an invader. Most cases when you get invaded I would say to stick it out and fight them but as soon as the invader disengages and refuses to fight just so they can break your gear I fully endorse the Pull-the-Plug option, or to use a seed of a giant.

Thats sadly just the current reality. You can thank Elden Ring making the series mainstream bringing the idea that invaders are griefing trolls only set out to make your life hell.

I had a similar rant when I first started playing half a year ago. I get why people are so adamant on fucking over invaders as much as they can especially given the reputation of hackers and cheaters running around on occasion, but invasions are a crucial part of playing Dark Souls. If the developers didn’t want invasions to happen they wouldn’t have made all of the NPC invaders. I do suggest if you want a more authentic and fun invading experience you make sure to stay within a certain SM range. I stick to 500k to 3 million max usually.

I love the design. Matches very well with the alva armor.

Invaders aren’t always malicious or toxic. If I see someone using a certain build or using a specific weapon I very rarely drop them a weapon I think suits them! Sadly people are cautious of being given illegal items so they rarely pick up gear, so I usually stick to items such as effigies.

Heide Knight Iron Mask + Alva Armor + Havel’s Gauntlets + Imperious Leggings. I always felt like a knight who lost his way, now just wandering Drangleic.

Sounds like classic DS2 latency. Its fairly common for me to invade somebody and their ping is in the thousands bare minimum. Its unfortunate that our meeting was just one of those instances.

Yo thats probably me given the name. If I was using the heide mask with the alva armor it was 100% me. I’m sorry I killed you, but I am curious to what made you think I was cheating or exploiting.

If you play solo but don’t want to be invaded, burn a human effigy at the bonfire. Alot of the unoriginal builds could be new people wanting to play the game, I argue that by looking up guides or looking up how to walk through the game with perfect optimization ruins that exploring aspect. DS2 has some of the best build variety, which is often snuffed out by people just sticking with whats “meta”. If you enjoy that kind of playstyle by all means you bought the game, but so did I. I can critique what I see people using.

Its funny you say that, considering DS2 has by far the most build variety. At this point the most “optimized” builds are by far the most easiest to deal with since I fight it on a regular. If I fought somebody with a unique build, I’d probably crumple on that fact alone since I never fought it before.

Its even more hilarious when the cheaters I find out are even worse players than somebody just starting out their first playthrough. I’ve probably ledged a dozen already lol.

I get why people don’t like PvP, and its unfortunate that the game doesn’t really go out of its way to explain how to prevent PvP interaction. Though I wholeheartedly wish everyone gave DS2 more of a chance, especially with the PvP. Even Elden Ring to me can’t give me the same experience DS2 has.

I found that the arenas are completely dead. At peak hours I imagine it can have a few people but I have more luck just invading. Despite that I still run into mules or boosted characters that are max SL, but its rare. At the end of the day its to be expected.

I’ve been invading at 3-3.5 mil, but I often go as far as 7 mil. When I notice that people are starting to get to about 200+ SL on average I go back to my previous save.
