K, so I was getting bored with PvE and decided to do some invasions on my good old SL55, right? I invade this SL181 in Lautrec's armour wielding a MLGS. He's acting rather weird, just spamming the block button. So I attack him. He doesn't really react, so I hit him (and stun him). Okay... So, I wait a couple of seconds, and attack him again. Now he dodges. He runs around some, does what looks like is going to be a running attack, so I swing my weapon and stunlock. He died in 3 hits (kinda quick for a SL181).
Anyway, right away he starts sending me messages:
"Wtf, I didn't want to fight"
"Why do you think I wasn't attacking?"
I tried explaining that I'm an invader, and thus there to kill him.
"But I bowed, so that means you shouldn't fight me! And your attacks only did 200 damage, so weak!"
So I explained that a bow only implies a fair duel (not that I actually bowed at him, but whatever). I also explained that I was only SL55.
"But other people always just fool around until the boss and then leave when I bow!"
I brought up the invader thing again.
"Well you're a coward because you used coward moves!"
All I did was swing my weapon a couple of times. So I told him that.
"No, you attacked me when I wasn't attacking!"
Yeah, I'm just gonna ignore him now. This guy obviously has no clue what an invasion is supposed to be.
============================
Edit:
Couple hours later, still with the same character. For some reason it has become impossible to invade. I'm constantly getting failed invasions. Then I get the message 'Invading another world' and... nothing. This went on for ages. Then every now and then I do get someone, but he just disconnects straight away (although I also got 1 who disconnected the moment he died). But finally I manage to invade someone who doesn't disconnect. There's another Darkwraith there. Obvious trap. I'm not falling for it and keep my distance. Surely, the Darkwraith attacks me. We fight a little, then the host comes around a corner, 1-shot by Dark Beads. I invade again, same person, but alone this time. Again 1-shot by Dark Beads. Invade again, same person, but this time he's alone on a narrow bridge. So I mid-roll through the CSS, mid-roll through the DB, and stab the little *** with my Zwei. Now he pulls out his own Zwei. Very well, we dance around a little, and eventually I manage to get in my hit. Stun. I hit him again. He falls off an edge. I win. 355k souls, the *** was over SL550! That's 10 times my SL.
And now I'm in failed invasions limbo again. *sigh*
Edit 2: Right, so I figured out why my invasions sucked all of the sudden. Someone sent me hatemail, so I tried to open it. Took AGES. I restarted my PS3, and suddenly internet stopped working. But it's okay, I fixed it
