you choose to be open to invasions, like you've been told 100 times already in this thread.
allows others to join your game
You can't selectively open your world and only have good, strong and friendly players join to make the game a walk in the park for you. When you open your world, bad things might come out of it too.
If you really can't reconcile yourself with that and think that it's terrible game design despite it being virtually universally acclaimed by players and critics alike, then that's fine. Just don't play the game and be done with it. The creators had their vision, their world and their experience thought out. If you can't appreciate it then just leave it be. I don't understand why you feel the need to be so hostile about it and can't just accept that even though you don't get it, it is a proven and praised concept that tens of thousands of players love.
Verb itt
Maybe I should skip out on the Dark Souls playthrough when I make it there.I'm just gonna find reasons to hate it. Which would be fun itself, but people would probably bitch.

It's really one of the best games ever made. Nobody cares about the opinion of some guy who couldn't beat the tutorial.I refused to beat the tutorial, because the game was just that much of an insult.You just suck at Dark Souls. What's the big deal?I suck at tolerating a game that allows you to fuck over other players who are just minding their own business.

You can just play hollow, then people can't invade you.
Quote from: KinderEssen on December 07, 2015, 10:12:08 AMYou can just play hollow, then people can't invade you. You shouldn't have to do that.
Exactly, you should just play through the game normally and summon someone if you think that you've bumped into trouble that you can't handle.
Also, you'll come to see that there is no real punishment for death - souls should be already spent and humanity is acquired easily unlike Dark Souls II.

I don't care.
But you have nothing to lose and your progress is only slightly hampered.
I believe Verb might enjoy Bloodborne more, as that gives you a warning to when the window for invasion is up and a way to stop it.

Well, just don't play it, then. PvP is an intrinsic part of Dark Souls.
Quote from: Incan on December 07, 2015, 10:21:29 AMI believe Verb might enjoy Bloodborne more, as that gives you a warning to when the window for invasion is up and a way to stop it.Really? Cool.
Quote from: KinderEssen on December 07, 2015, 10:23:12 AMWell, just don't play it, then. PvP is an intrinsic part of Dark Souls.So it's an intrinsically flawed game.
How? I fail to see how a PvP oriented game is flawed because it's a PvP oriented game.
Quote from: KinderEssen on December 07, 2015, 10:28:39 AMHow? I fail to see how a PvP oriented game is flawed because it's a PvP oriented game.Because it isn't consensual, and you have to hamper your game experience in order to avoid it.Bad game design.Street Fighter is a PvP-oriented game. Matches are conducted consensually. You can kick players you don't like.
>thinking invasion is inherently badfucking lmaoit adds to the game and fits the narrativejust because you don't like having your path towards your goals challenged doesnt make it bad
It is consensual. Don't want people to invade? Go hollow or don't play the game.
Why should we have to have trade-offs and make hard decisions that can greatly alter how we play wtf I want my choices to all result the same way wtf guys
