Here comes the hurdy gurdy man.
The first time I got invaded I bowed to the invader and got killed by a Crystal Soul Spear.

The second time I got invaded the invader bowed to me and I crushed him with a large club. That was my favorite moment.

I had a lot of fun reading forums about how dishonorable it was to buff your weapon... what kind of skill-less literal gay baby are you to buff your weapon? I fight with honor and will punish you, wow, I can't believe you were to my side and took a swing, trying to backstab me human being? I will punish you for using spells and magic you are so predictable, bitch stop using that cool sword EVERYONE USES THAT COOL SWORD did you just try to parry me how loving dare you blah blah blah

Nothing except for their own exact way of playing was the right way.

Whenever I invade someone I always run into groups of enemies and do the most dickish stuff possible. Conversely if I ever get invaded you can bet I'm summoning help. I'm here to win goddamn it, I don't care about bowing, not buffing my weapons, fair play, etc. Just about the only thing avoid are outright exploits/hacking/etc.

The funnest part of invading is watching the gears in the other player's head turn as he tries to figure out what happened.

I'm addicted to invasions. There's nothing better than invading someone, chasing his panicked rear end around the zone, and kicking him off a cliff. Bonus points if you get matched with him again within a couple minutes. Hell, I don't mind being invaded. It's usually a good fight, and the unpredictability of it keeps things interesting.

Duels can gently caress off, though. Lag problems seem to be much worse in the arenas than in invasions.

Oberyn deserved to get wrecked for leveling dex + buffing his Santier's Spear with Rotten Pine Resin.

My favorite DS2 moment was first encountering what I thought was a wall in the Undead Crypt but after a few sword pokes it turns out they were actually knights dual-wielding shields.

I do too....until they throw that item that makes all the monsters hostile to the invader. I went from taunting in the sewers below the Sinners towers to being crushed in .05 seconds immediately by like 5 huge monsters.

Sucked.

That item is fantastic. I always go back and have as many Tree Giant's Seeds as possible because using them in places like the catacombs right before Velstadt is always hilarious.

You're a woman, I'm a machine.
So after trying to pick up the game a few times but always failing to get past the Undead Parish, I'm still a DS stoopid newbie. But this last week I picked it up for another go, rolled a Cleric, and had my best run so far (though I've got to return the game today :arghfist::black101:). Last night I had finally made it to the Church with the first Bell of Awakening. I had looked it up when I saw the white light, so I knew that for the boss fight I could summon Sun Bro to come help if I was human, so I make my way back to the bonfire (I run around Hallow most of the time, I die too much to make restoring humanity worth the effort). Anyway, I turn back human, fight my way up to the top of the tower without taking any damage, and feel pretty good about the gargoyle fight. I am standing on Sun Bro's summoning message... when all of a sudden I get invaded, the invader spawns right next to me, kicks me off the ledge before I can summon help, and then proceeds to push my poo poo in. :darksouls:

Take 2, go recover, restore humanity again, and make my way back. This time I summon Sun Bro no problem, and pass through the white light to take on the Bell Gargoyles. The fight is going pretty well, we take down one of them pretty low really quickly, but then we get separated for a time when the second one starts being an rear end in a top hat breathing fire everywhere. Sun Bro manages to land the killing blow on the first Gargoyle, but as I retreat to drink some estus, Gargoyle 2 flaps over and breathes fire all over his poo poo, killing my first ever summoned phantom. I charge back in, but without help things are going poorly, the drat thing is still at about 1/4 health and I'm out of Estus. Somehow I manage to get through all the fire and land a jump attack with a quick follow up that is enough to kill him, with about 30 HP left. Climbing up that tower to ring the first bell of awakening just barely holding on to life for my first time ever is my new favorite DS memory (though I was expecting like a single hallowed to pop out of nowhere and kill me before I could just because the people who designed this game are massive dicks). I'll have to wait until I get free time again to try to keep going--I will beat this game someday, damnit!
