PS3 methods of telling invaders to please exit

Hey everyone,

Looking to do a coop on the PS3 with someone brand new to the game. I would really prefer to not be invaded, even legitimately until he has a bunch of time spent on the game under his belt.

On the XBox, you can PM them easily; is it the same with the PS3?

On ps3 it takes a whole while. If you're not careful you can get backstabbed as you try to get out of the menu. D:

USB keyboard would help you alot if you want to message a vader to leave.

Yep, have a wireless USB keyboard. Microsoft one, so hopefully it works with the PS3 (but its just a keyboard, so I don't see why not).

Keep a spare lightning +5 weapon in the offhand to deal with griefers? The best way to get an invader to leave is on the tip of a sword, just tell your buddy not to get involved.

I don't have the PS3 version yet, so no BB glitch. Ordering it tonight.

Hiding before you try to message them might buy you some time, but I'd wager that you're going to have to kill some invaders to get them to leave.

How bad is griefing on the PS3? Xbox it isn't too bad, but your first time through it's going to be slow going.

Maybe I can pick mine up right from the store and then quickly get through it to BB Glitch some weapons for defence.

Hm.

Its not good, thats for sure, and its worse if you connect with someone (ie summon or get summoned). I'd get a powerful backup weapon or get a bleed weapon to deal with it, the uchi you get from killing the indead merchant would work, but it will open you up to dm invasions too.

If you put in a trade request in the section or ask random people you summon its likely someone will give you something suitable.

This thread is funny.

Being invaded is part of the game and you'd be denying your friend a humbling and unique experience. The first time I got invaded in this game was in the depths; I swung my Drake Sword at the red invader and he parried the first swing and killed me. For a minute, I thought he cheated, hehe.

Only the nicest invader in the world would oblige you.

ramming a nondescript weapon up their *** generally works a treat

yeah....hmmmm...think I would LOL if I got a message asking me to leave....
the other day I was invading and was being sent messages from the host calling me all sorts of awful things because he 'wants to have fun, not eject his disk every few minutes'
I didn't even actually engage him in combat, he left as soon as I invaded....
I think if the msg seemed quite sincere I might leave, or possibly troll with fist....

I bet there'd be quite a few decent guys who would crystal out. I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped something, too. The little weasley basement dwellers won't, of course (no offense to those of you in this thread who indicated you might not cooperate, lol), but what can you do.

I might leave if someone sent me a PM. It depends on how they worded it though. I had someone tell me "get out" on a PM. I told him no. We played the waiting game. I told him to come down. I offered him help, if I beat him. I told him I could obliterate this level (Anor Londo) with one of my coop toons. He started swearing at me. I did not leave. I did kill him. I did not regret it.

But, some people I see struggling, or send me a nice PM and I may BC out, or even unlock some doors for them. But, invading is a part of this game. I try to do it as fair as I can.

In my experience an overwhelming amount of the time I am invaded anywhere I am fighting people with english as a second language or no english at all. It might be to your best interested to join the Way of White, the two of you, from the start. Farm humanity for him, if you are feeling generous, or send PM's and drop a humanity and a homeward bone and hide yourself and the host well.. hopefully the invader gets the idea regardless of his native language then, but not all of them will listen like others have said.

EDIT: before this get misread, I am not trying to say that all invaders are x county, merely that there are -lots- of languages and since the game is not region locked I don't think you can rely solely on PM to get your message across 100% of the time.

Hey Mark,

If you're unable to work your way through the game in enough time to have a antigriefer weapon, I'd be more than happy to provide one, just shoot me a PM or add me on PSN.

Hey thanks Star. May take you up on that offer. Cheers!

I'd suggest having him send the message, as you stand shield up to protect him. It's sort of 50/50 I'd say. They might be there just to kill, they might not. usually if they're low level griefing they won't care, but some are using gear appropriate for the area or are DM's that accidentally invade too low. Though he shouldn't have any sin. As Reim said, just make sure to word it possibly.

"Please can you leave my world, I'm new to Dark and low on humanity."

That will either get them to back off and maybe drop something, or kill you even harder.

Normally I message "Wait" first and then follow it up with a message. Hopefully it gives me some breathing room.

I can be polite, despite what you may see on these forums...

I know things just get a bit heated up here sometimes.

I wouldn't even bother asking vaders to leave. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try if you've got the time, but you're far more likely to end up just having to kill the dude if you want him out. Just have your host put some distance between the two of you and flask appropriately. You're not there to duel, you're questing with a friend. Do what you've got to in order to keep your friend from having to resummon you/getting killed himself.

When I'm questing, no one's f*ckin' with me. Not on my watch. If they want the kill, they're going to EARN it.

Haha. Yeah when someone dies, it's hte pain of retrieving souls, of becoming human/resummoning, and reocnnecting which can take a few minutes. Annoying.

Definitely want to be ready to go if someone invades.

Eh since dark wraiths don't risk anything, I don't see why it's a big deal for them to back out.

Doesn't really gel with their whole "FUUU you're gonna die" agenda. Depends on the type of vader also. All the dueling I've done has probably made me prone to show mercy when I'm invading. But someone who is a die-hard invader probably doesnt give a sh*t whether or not you'd prefer he left, particularly since the vast majority of questers would also appreciate not being stomped into the ground.

Haha. I'll setup some DoS then for protection. F them back eh?
