I didn't do well at all, I got rekt again and again. 
I blame my old DeS habits. I played that for so long that it's etched in my muscle memory, and I still end up attempting many of those combos, and also expecting the same kind of phantom range and hitboxes and stuff.
I guess I just need more practice, yeah.

Forgot to say thank you to the hosts and GGs and stuff. Sorry for bailing without a word, I was starting to doze off, then was super hungry, then decided to go invade and forgot. >.>
My favourite duels in Dark Souls 1 were with my bow user, lol... that said I've had no luck in DS3 PvP with the bow.

Ok, I'll stop now too. Getting tired.
GG all. Thanks for coming and thanks to the hosts tonight.
Yeah, it's trash in PvP, the other weapons are too fast for it to be a legit viable build.
Thanks for organizing this, and thank you to everyone that hosted. That was fun.
GG everyone. I didn't do well at all but at least I had fun and I was able to try different weapons.
Taking a lot of damage and not doing enough didn't help, I didn't know the level difference would make such huge difference.
Thanks everyone, I will participate again for sure.

they definitely did something with the patch I NEVER got summoned for it got two toady in like an hour of play im at 161 ng+ soo hopefully I can slowly get the grass i need... I thought you had to be in the forests/woods but I was at the Lake and the Graves when I got summoned.
Ran into an interesting gank just now. Apparently NPC summons are immortal and don't need to heal against invaders. This guy had 3 NPC summons in
and was using every meta weapon right now including the annoying washing pole poke. Managed to beat him with 0 flasks after a second invader came to my rescue. Fuck you Saber!

yeah same but if you gonna farm them a Sorcery build is really fast, you can kill those three right at the ruins BF in Farron within 10 seconds... its a terrible drop rate though at 1.8% or something like that.
Well I think Im pretty much cursed when it comes to the souls games.
Everytime I think I can 100% a souls game. The games straight up cock blocks me on the achievement/trophy.
In DS1 it was all the weapons achievements that was borked for me on Xbox. I had all the weapons and twice over. Still never popped.
In Bloodborne it was the same thing, all the hunter weapons again. I have them all twice once more again. No trophy.
And now DS3. I have all the Pyromancies and rings...but....no trophies.

Are you sure you have em all? Did you check the guide to make sure? What are you on?

Sad I miss the GAF fight club this weekend. I had to do RL things. But if there is another one coming up, post and I should see it..
edit: BTW if anyone need all the rings on PC or PS4, just send me a PM.

Beating Dancer as soon as possible is a really great way to shake up the flow of the game. I played a new character recently and was able to get so many goodies from Lothric Castle early, was running around with a +9 Great Axe and destroying everything in my path. Very satisfying!

Nvm. Turns out the item was in my box...I thought it was a key item turns out it's under the consumables tab.
Make sure to do the sigils first and kill orbeck before ANri otherwise you wont get max hollow for the luck bonus nor the morion blade (if you want it, but not sure why anyone wouldn't want it at least as an option)
Breaking sequence and fighting high level stuff early is one of the most important formula things FROM allows me to do that draws me in. Was hooked immediately in DEmon's when I figured out how to
cheese king dorian early for his armour and the demonbrand

I'm seeing a trend where
the common undead are afflicted with a parasite that bursts out of them, which is why so many of them are huddled on the floor holding their heads or praying to the others spiked on the 'trees'.
What I haven't figured out is where the bell ringing guys come into it - you'd think the bell would cause the parasite to burst out, but both times it happened there wasn't a bell ringer in the vicinity. The larger undead with weapons and the soldiers don't seem to be affected, which begs the question of how did the parasite spread to Iudex Gundyr (or vice versa), but maybe we'll find that out later.
Also kept fucking getting caught by the wide long-handled axe attacks again, getting a bit sick of it now!

I've had the Dorkmoon Covenant equipped for 70 hours at SL120. So far, I've been summoned 5 times. Summoning failed twice, Duty Fulfilled as I spawn twice, and once where I actually got to fight an invader. I chased him into a giant crab gank at crucifixion woods. I got destroyed in a flash. It was so exciting and new that I didn't realize that enemies can attack blues. Not a bit of Proof to show for it.

Maybe the patch fixed something.
Speaking of the patch, I've only been parried once with a Caestus since Friday night
Invaders attacking other invaders midfight where the host is losing is some surreal shit, but thanks I guess lol
Also, invaders that goes into hiding like 15 mins, then pop in quickly when more invaders come. That's some patience for sure.
This morning I got summoned as a Darkmoon after almost 2 months. Then got quicked out before even moving because the invader got rekt or something.

I am playing the Cathedral level. I just lost over 25k souls needed to buy to progress a questline
and I'm still crying.
I decided to try placing a coop sign where I was to see if I get picked up by anybody exploring because I desperately need the souls.
This guy summons me into his world. Points me to the lift and I assume
Mad Phantom with Force.
I turn around, tell this host, "Nope." then Black Crystaled out.
Seigward's armor and to level up later

bitch I'm taking calls.
If you do a running jump off a ledge and queue up a buff, then switch weapons before the roll completes, you can buff any weapon.
It's being called tumble buffing. There could be a lot more you can do with the current queued action system, people are only just now exploring the potential.

Man, I'm getting summon left and right from folks in NG+ (I'm still in NG). Making my farming of Sunlight Medals so much easier. Went from just 2 to 16 in roughly 70 minutes. Usually waiting roughly 2 to 4 minutes between summons. After that, I just need to farm Verterbrea Shackles. Never farming for Proofs ever again.

If you sprint while holding block and then stop while holding block you can queue up a sprinting r1. Really throws people off

Try moving them all to your storage. Worked for me. I didn't even have to move them back.

As a red invader I take more pleasure in killing blue sentinels, or killing the host before the blue sentinel reaches them, than I do just killing a lone host. Or even if I die, and see "blue sentinel summoned through concord!" right immediately after, knowing they get nothing.

You are an evil, evil person. How could you be so heartless! ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR EAR!
Yesterday I got summoned as a bluebro, and the game completely glitched. So you know the ring that
obscures you if you're far away, yeh, it glitched hard and the guy was 100% invisible even when right in front of me. Only reason I knew where he was, was because a) lock-on and b) he had a yellow thing on his chest from a spell or something.

Do you get an ear for each invader you kill, or only if you kill everyone?Yesterday I got summoned as a bluebro, and the game completely glitched. So you know the ring that I killed two invaders, but the third one got me

After 22 hours I am done with Covenants farming. Jesus that took way too long. Shackles were the worst IMO even if they took less time than Ears.
Soul of Cider died like a bitch in NG+. Used only 4 flasks.
Dancer died like a bitch in NG++. Used only 4 flasks.
FUGS +5 is a monster weapon. Fast, uses so little stamina and staggers mofos all around.
Hopefully I need ~4 more hours to get Platinum. 3 of them will be fighting Nameless King++, ehh...

Here's to a preemptive welcome to the platinum club! Congratulations on enduring stupid grinds for less than stellar rewards. You've (almost) conquered the real challenge of Dark Souls - the time commitment.

Jokes on you, I don't need em anymore
.And you get one for every invader you kill. Yesterday the host was getting 2 reds at a time before Pontiff so he probably used the fingers(which is odd because he had no summons with him).
