Ain't no way Motion is still ganking the exact same way with the exact same build for almost a decade now, I'm legitimately starting to wonder if he's okay in the headspace.
At some point we meta-gamed so hard that we gaslit ourselves into thinking Dark Souls 3 was a fighting game, and not a 30-hour long Action RPG that just happens to have PvP that takes place as part of the PvE. Gank Souls 3: The Level Fades Edition\
It’s been a few months but I got a fair amount of activity on Xbox, I sit in the swamp at SL125 waiting for invaders while my covenant is either set to Aldrich faithful or spear or the church, I’ve gotten decent games on both and even made some new friends.
Kind of hard to co op at SL95 atm on ps5. figured I'd be able to find nameless king or dlc but not much activity 😔 although I bet people hate me on spear of the church. The last 30 people never got to go to Gael lol
Ds3 pvp is better cause there’s no gankers, and if there are, you at least have the possibility of getting one or more other invaders to help. If ED were to allow at least one more player it’d be soooo much better. In terms of weapons and mechanics, ds3 is more balanced by not having too many op attacks/spells. And the second reason why DS3 is better than ED is cause throwing poop is easier. I hate crafting pots
i love ds3, but pontiff been a shittier place at least on pc. the only legit players left is me, sht_shw, hesa and gary abusey and perhaps few more. the rest of pontiff try hards has cheat engine running possibly many things. from subtle cheats, malicious cheats. they would toggle if you beating them too hard. luckily i play on different timezone than these maniacs. i never run CE during Invasion, nor hosting. only use one to restock items outside both activities. ELDEN RING has Fundamental issue as Emotional jon Points out in his videos. it won't be fixed! just play ELDEN RING as normal PVE Game.
Is it bad that I saw "Invading XBox" and _knew_ the joke was gonna be zero activity? Lmao Also, shout-out to the unscaled phantoms in High Wall, the dragon head armour twinks in Cathedral that take 10 damage from a +2 great club, and prop hunt hosts in Crucifixion that hide in literally always the exact same place and DC or commit gravity when you whop them through their twink setups. This game is a beautiful mess, and while I'm too terrified to go past level 75, I'll never forget the amazing times I've shared with people in Lothric. Also, the 4× Exile/Knights with PK _sent_ me and I had to rewind LMAO
Haha yeah Xbox activity is beyond dead unless you do survival but even then. Also I don’t go off meta pontiff much lol but I should’ve specified cuz that’s where these are
I only discovered souls in late summer 2020, and was too in awe playing all the games offline to really bother with PVP. I really regret that. ER is kinda shitty in several ways, doesn't capture that special mood souls did. DS3 looks like a crap chute nowadays but I still love seeing its state in 2024. Thanks for this, nice editing and music too. Noticing a lot of community deeplore, rivalries, old wars, etc. in the comments section that I was not expecting. I really did miss something special back then.
As busted as this game was, it still felt more balanced than the current state of ER. I gave up invading in ER after a few months. I had some success, but the incessant projectile and L2 spam just made it boring to me so quickly.
on PC is just endless amount of Survivalists who do marathon. Zebra no.1 and Ave Maria is an example of what shitter marathon runner is. i would rather host swamp then chasing these bastards
I started the game off in 2021 which is really late in and I started uploading around that same time so I was inexperienced from the first vid but yeah
Motion is back! First recorded kill since the years-long rivalry with Prod ended with the latter's victory! (Tbh I always found the dude to be a great troll) Also yeah, I checked on PC like 2 months ago, and the community is literally 20% clueless players, 40% seasoned veterans and 40% russian hackers with anime profile pics lol
I can't see why people like this PVP the most. Nothing but Tears/murky/sellswords/PKCS every meta invasion in Pontiff. I wanted to like the PVP of this game but it's mostly just all roll catching, phantom range hits, and hyperarmor r1 spam.
I not so good at pvp, but I started to duel at the pontiff cliff, and now I having so much more fun than before, Idk at least for me duels without flasks are some of the most fun combats
Dark Souls 2 is like the only game in the series with actual functional good PvP the rest have been absolute trash. Dueling in this game was "okay" but as someone who likes to invade this is the worst PvP souls game for Invaders Dark Souls 2 and Elden Ring are the only one where you can squeeze out a win but that's just how I feel anyways. You don't PvP in DS3 because you love yourself you PvP because you hate yourself ask me how I know.
@@austinwhitney7090 lol I believe it, I do also think Dark Souls 2 had the best pvp. It at least seems like they designed some of the game around the pvp rather than it being an afterthought.
This is so good. Idk what it is about ps players, but ive had way more invasions with people running to the ladder on ps than pc. Even though i mostly play pc.
It can be THAT bad, right? Me with hundreds of hours in current ds3 pvp and another hundreds in max level pvp (The most active level i think, in ps4): OH BOY... YOU HAVE *NO IDEA* very good video btw... i like the edition so much.
I cant find anyone on ds3 right now. Im guessing its my over leveled character maybe at Sl230. I started a new character to lvl at 125 hoping that will help me find people to do pvp
love how someone i sub to was trying ds3 pvp for the first time very recently and made a whole video praising how "great" it is; I try to tell them it's really just this at any level higher than like 40 and i get ds3 purists calling me slurs in the comments
Okay heres the lay out: CS Guard and strike (spears) Stunlock splitleaf glitch (use dagger on them), hackers (ledges using force, if cant be killed....or anything...theyll teleport.. at that point just leave. Spammed Spells: Spell Parry shield, Four pronged: Need close range, Bow glitch combo: Daggers, Murky or Hand Scythe: Bait a parry. backstabs?: Dragon Scale Ring. Force: Poise, Poise: Backstabs, Shields: Scythes even Horse Ring and Iron Slayer Ring, Heavy Weight: Havels Ring. All hopefully covered for fighting.
I just started ds3 this year in January and have 3 characters that ive been trying to platinum with but i just cant get the covenant items because of the wack ass pvp. I don't want to farm no more😭
Truth is no matter what game you play there's always going to be some dude that has played it for 20 years and is like 40 years old and only ever plays that game. Sometimes they are just people who aren't even good though they just happen to exist there forever ig. Forever embracing the darkness.
On PSN, we keep the 60 +6 scene pretty alive for the most part. We hang around pontiff mostly but you can get activity pretty consistently anywhere from 40-80 in my experience. If you come to pontiff at 60 in the afternoon EST you'll run into us eventually.
