I agree that its nice that they have some mechanic in place that tries to keep that online part active, but i wouldnt mind if it was possible to turn off random invasions like that. Hiding is a good idea actually. I did that once and the invader ran around form maybe 5 minutes trying to find me before he left hehe
Oh, so when you use a Human Effigy, you wont be invaded for a certain amount of time?
Don't have stats for a bow and arrow. Got pretty good at dodging the homing soul arrows and have small shield with decent magic defense. Made it to the third bonfire and saw what more bullshit lay ahead of the gas-spewing creepies and decided to take a break for the sake of my nerves!
When you burn one you will be less likely to be invaded AND less able to summon. Those two are a pair, can't have one option without the other.
Burning, yes. Good for trying to go through the Rat areas or Belfry towers.
Damn, i just disconnected when i got invaded, and when i went back online again, i was greeted with this:
what's your stats? My Dex is only 23 right now. Been upping it since I reached 40 STR.
STR 10 / DEX 9. Int build
I'm quite disappointed with the new spells overall. The soul sword one shown in early footage looked great but it doesn't seem be very useful, maybe for crowd control? Soul Vortex is probably my favourite, I was getting just short of 1000 per shot on the big hippo-ogre things. I've got 7 attunement slots and really just have been using the strongest soul arrow as for speed and damage it seems the best of the stronger spells. Soul Spear is now garbage and so are the pew-pew ones.
Ah, thats true, i forgot about that you could also burn Human Effigies at the bonfires.
This is most likely an automatic thing, not something that is done manually. Otherwise they wouldnt give you a Bone Of Order item that bring you back online at once. Or what do you mean with "thought it would take longer to start punishing people for disconnects"?
Yeah, i edited my post a bit to clearify thatKeep in mind, you only have 1. So if you become a sinner again, you will forever be alone.
I just ment that since they give you a Bone Of Order item and you're back online as soon as you use it, i think this shows that its an automatic thing, not a manual ban. But yeah, you only get one of these items indeed, so its best to be careful with disconnecting Yeah, i edited my post a bit to clearify that
Speaking about sinning, how do you do that in the game? Kill any NPCs? In Dark Souls 1, you sinned if you changed covenants if i remember correctly, but that isnt the case in Dark Souls 2.
I agree, i just ment in theory since it seems that its an automatic thing, not that its likely to happen. It would most likely be hard to distinguish between a legit disconnect and a manual disconnect, so they must allow for a certain amount of disconnects before they "ban" you, just in case some legit disconnects actually happen. I should have clearified that a bit better, sorry. As i mentioned earlier, i'm glad that there actually is a mechanic like this in place. I dont like rage quitters, especially in engaged PvP senarios. I mostly disconnected from random invaders where i didnt want to engage in PvP.
Ah ok, i see. What does that bounty do? Do you get invaded more if you have sinned?
You can resurrect npcs, I think. Paying souls at their tomb stone.
