My favorite thing to do is run away for several minutes before denying them what they came for by leaping off a cliff.

Recently, in Dark Souls 2, some poor, poor bastard relying on melee with no dark resistance went after me. Sorcerer/Knight, I'm good & parry

Killed an invader today who was after my friend with one Ornstein spear Lightning Charge. Was glorious. Caught him full on.

I love dark souls.

I sucked when I first started invading, now I have a fairly good success rate at 2 on 1 and an almost perfect rate at 1 on 1

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS EXACT VIDEO FOR ALMOST A YEAR
Vesane
Do yourself a favour and trust me on this one, you will laugh heartily at these invasion videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ecS0yKnNLA
RyanOfAthens
Why are the "invaders" blue? I Thought they were red.
omegafurfag
yeah, this is why you need PURE UNADULTERATED GUDNESS to wipe your ass with them
Dbonker
LOL
PhantomGhoti
That's why you wear the blue sheep patch of come save me. Let the blue sentinels smash your invaders for you.
DATALORD
This was awesome
stillborntoiletbaby
I like messages, I hate invasions so i chose offline
AwetasticAdventures
Can you prevent your game from being invaded?
greatgoatman
Yes. In 3, you won't be invaded unless your Ember is restored. You lose Ember when you die, so...yeah. I never got invaded, first play.
iHateMyselfButIHateYouMore
Unplug your ethernet cable / disable wifi ...
Raeun
It's apart of the game. It adds and builds character. It's also a lot of fun, try it sometime.

This is why I play offline. I've beaten every Dark Souls game, it takes patience and a whole lot of not being killed by asshats mid-fight.
Or, simple solution :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ecS0yKnNLA
That's amazing haha
MagneticLasso
oh my god that is so funny! i don't play dark souls, but i got a nice kick out of this! +1
TigerTheWolfChild
Yeah or you could beat it like the rest of us killing invaders as you go. Git gud. Also beaten every dark souls game on online mode.
SergeantSalsa
You are so hc
Tell you what. I'll git gud when you git laid.
Haha I'm sorry if that came across super rude: just don't brag about beating all the games in offline mode - like it's still hard but I've <
I don't take anything too seriously, all in good fun!
[deleted]
Invasion refers to another character, be it a player or NPC, entering your world for combat because reasons (red invader, zone guardian) (1)
Drbubbles47
People like you join the Way of the Blue aka Way of the Meek, If you get invaded you automatically summon a friendly player from the Blue.
Resurrectionist
(1) It's easy to avoid being invaded, you don't have to go offline, but the same condition that allows you to be invaded is also what allows
(2) you to summon other players for help, so it's a trade off.
coldare10
there is also npc invasions.
Ocham
In Demon's Souls and DS2 there were bosses that included (brilliant) invasion mechanics. I play online so I don't miss content.
Irishda
But then there's no JOLLY COOPERATION!
zeroofshadow
if your playing ds3, as long as you never use an ember you'll never get invaded.
Cerapocalypse
LAME!
NightRush
There is offline, but you miss the helpful (or "helpful") player messages, and the bloodstains showing you where others died.
NotHarroc
Thats how I play. The loss of funny messages isn't enough to make me go back online. Get at it.
cboxchamp
Really? I read finger but hole at one of the guys bent over. Totally worth getting back stabbed by thorn armor wearing shitheads
OmegaTengu
I've only seen the thorns twice, and once was an NPC, the other time I was already with 3 other guys so we just wailed on him.
bishop2905
You can play in offline mode with no chance of invasion, also invasion in general is pretty rare so nothing really to worry about.
DefinitelyT0AST
Depending on where you are in the game it is but I've been invaded close to 8 times in about 20 minutes.
New players will be hollow or unkindled majority of their game.
Possboi
You can
bloodomen
Players that sucker hit you when you bow are worse than vegans
Upvoted because those people suck, then downvoted because of the random insult of vegans.
Rawraga
Spot the vegan!
Not a vegan. Love meat. If meat was banned, i'd raise and slaughter my own chickens. I just hate all the hate for vegans.
Good point besides a vegan always tells you they are vegans oh yes they tell you
Ssssssssssss
You can play on single player, but it's not really fitting the experience. Also you can't be invaded if you aren't human, so you can just
be a hollow/undead/unkindled and invade others/go to others to help them. You have to be online to help people, too.
Cammo353
There's an offline mode, but it takes away from the experience as a whole.
ralphwiggles
Not everyone likes laggy pvp against dicks though
Laggy PvP. Sounds like you have an internet problem.
Buretsu
The experience of being ganked by assholes is skippable.
WizardMcMagic
That's the kind of excuse I hear from every nosy DS player who thinks wanting to avoid random encounters with other players solely for (1/2)
the purpose of preventing your forward progress in ten minute battles where everyone rolls and heals is absolute heresy. Let people (2/2)
Enjoy the damn game there own way if it only effects themselves. (3/2)
vahnn
You're free to enjoy the game your own way. But the game IS designed from the ground up to support invasions. For all Souls games.
I was talking more about not being able to summon people, read messages, and touch bloodstains. Being invaded is a cunt, but pros > cons tbh
HeroOfSovngarde
Yeah, if youre a scrub..
There is an offline mode
For fucking pussies.
Exactly. PvP is the best thing about these games.
#420praiseit
ThePeoplesCartographer
Bullshit. All of the games are way fucking harder with no messages.
worldsokayestspeler
And no help from summons
OverlyCynicalImgurian
There's still NPC summons.
gpff
Not as hard as some of those invasions. I've had some pretty grueling invaders fuck my shit up.
ChrisTheGopher
HAH YOU MUST NOT WALK SLOW AND TURN YOUR CAMERA AROUND EVERY CORNER LIKE I DO! Try being invaded right after you're about to hit a bonfire
zackofalltrades
God, I know that feel too well...
qindje
You still get invaded by NPC's though no?
Daviosy
They're total pushovers, weaker than mook enemies
(2) Offline mode will remove player invasions, but NPC scripted invasions will occur if you're human/ember (DS1/3). DS2 was the exception.
(in DS2 you could get invaded while being either undead or human. DS1/3 forces you to be in human/ember form to become a host for PvP/CoOp)
IHaveLurkedForFarTooLong
In addition: the Npc invaders can happen even if you're in online mode. I've sunbro'd a couple of people through them on the way to bosses.
theartofrage
Just got the game and I am about to start it up and give it a go.
EdgarAllenBeaux
Purchase game, get home, super hyped, go to open the case, >Does not open from this side
CleanShavenBeard
hahahahahahaha supremely underrated comment. You need to find the 30 minute way around to create the shortcut my man

MrScruffaluffagus
Best of luck with that tutorial matey. I'm rooting for you.
Curiousone545
For real. Pro tip- Dual wield and move around ;) ;)
ManOfCulture
Profaned GS in ng+ is amazing, i havent gotten around to using any of the paired weapons because they seem meh
Ah, I'm talking about DS3, early game. For rookies. (Who probably don't know how to parry/block right, &it makes gundy 2ez)
Had a friend who got stuck and gundyr for 7+ hours (no kidding) he has like 30+ hours into the game and hes only in the undead settlement
