Can someone explain the fun of the pvp because as far as I can tell it's just getting killed by phantom hits and invading into 3 v 1 situations

Phantom hits are something you just kind of have to get used to. Treat every weapon like it has one and a half times its actual length. You also have to sort of make sure your own hits are well predicted almost perfectly on point too, since sometimes the lag makes it look like people are rolling out of clear hits. One thing to know is that allot of the R1 Combo's can now be parried out of their second or third hit because of this game's mechanics.

I haven't been ganked often so I don't know what to tell you about it, although Iv'e been seeing a youtube video on countering gankers popping up in my feed. I'll try too see if it's any good and post it.

I mean my phantom hits are like across the room and in a 360 degree radius, people hit me when I'm behind them and when I've rolled 3 times consecutively away

Yeah, Dark Souls has never had a good netcode. You kind of have to expect it somewhat and hope to God you get a decent enough opponent that this doesn't happen. The McDonald's Wi-Fi Covenant will always be far more overpowered than any hacker.

Well that's basically every one of my invasions so far. And I've done about 15 of them and only 2 were 1v1. One summoned me right in the middle of the host, a white phantom and 2 blue phantoms which was nice

I really hope we don't have to. It's worse in Dark Souls 3 than it was in DS2 and especially 1. I have my fingers crossed for From to release a patch and improve the current situation.

Yeah, and as if estocs weren't bad enough alone, the netcode makes it feel as if the edge if their blade was also firing a laser beam across map with each poke.

Fight clubs are fun and all, but if the host is just sitting there with low hp then I'm taking the fucker out.

you really are just consistently a toxic person

yea

Lol I got summoned and the other invader just pointed at the host.


The rest was glorious.

no seriously guys how do you have fun with this

I'm guessing the pvp is worse for you do to you being Australian, right? Cause I have little to none problems lagwise.

I'm guessing that's the issue, despite being able to turn cross regional play off. Though I'm betting there isn't actually any servers over here so its a moot point. So I got plenty of clips on xbone of my epic invasion gameplay where longswords have the hitboxes of greatswords and I get hit 10 seconds after running from people.

Though I did think it was pretty funny that I kicked a Blue Sentinel guy down into the room where the Sunbro covenant item is. Only the host can open the door so he was my prisoner, so I was periodically checking on him. Though eventually it just summoned another one and I got team killed.

If I can't fight them I might see how many phantoms I can knock into that hole hah

Forgiv for por english
Wen was u wen melee build was kill?

It are resurrect in 3. 2 was always shit.

Any chance someone got a second Symbol of Avarice during their playthrough and would be willing to drop one? I've gone through all the mimics in my game and had no luck.

I got a spare. They both dropped in NG+.

I'm on ps4.

Lol I love that ring. Used it while invading and got tked by another red phantom. Poor shmuck thought he won that day.

What do they drop if not the symbol? I've gotten two on ng.

I'm on PC. It's a rare drop, otherwise they only drop whatever was in the chest. Supposedly it was guaranteed to drop from the last mimic in your playthrough, but I've killed all of them and had no luck.

I've gotten it on both playthroughs when it wasn't even the last mimic

Trying to prep for NG+ by stocking up on everything, farming winged knights using the rapport pyromancy. Cast it on one, pull the third and watch them fight occasionally throwing a fireball or two in. 52k souls per run w/ ring and shield.

Any recommendations for what level to be at starting NG+?

I get 75k with the mimic head

I love how invaders just slide across the floor and damage me with their mean thoughts when they are close enough to me.

Look who I made

I just saw a summon sign while I wasn't embered, wut?
