red soapstone question

i am level 98 and i am doing pvp by putting a red mark on the undead burg floor but almost every time i get oponents that simply crush me but against the red panthoms when i get sommuned i beat them easy :S

doing this i will gety summuned by players that are at a higher level than me? why i nevr get invaded here or fing red marks too?

its realy sad get destroyed by 2 hits here :S
this pvp in dark souls is so weird

I may be wrong, and someone please correct me if I am, but when you're using the red sign, only people within 10 levels of you can see it and summon you. So you're fighting with people about on par with you.

The darkwraiths, however, can invade anyone that's within their level range and up, to the max level. For example, a red phantom at level 20 invading a level 120. So they're probably just low leveled.

Buuut, there's also a chance I read what you said wrong. So.

• The player who casts a sign can be summoned by others who are within
  co-op range below their level ( - (10 + 10% of the player's level)),
  and any level higher. This means a level 100 character using the Red
  Sign Soapstone can be summoned by others between the levels of 80 to
  713.
  
• It is believed that higher priority matchmaking is given to players
  of closer levels. While it is possible for the red sign to appear for
  other players of a much higher level, it is more likely to be seen and
  activated by players closer to your level.
  

omfg i can be sommuned by a 715 player? LOL

now i get it, no way a same level guy can take 2/3 of my life with a simply swing of a small dext weapon , or casting a spell that hit like a BS ...
i guess the only way to do fair pvp will be in the arena

You could also try Darkmoon Blade invading. It's always at least fair for the invader. This type of invading is the opposite of Darkwraith invading. You seldom invade players with significantly higher SL, and instead can invade lower levels (usually about 20 SL below, in my experience).

Most likely the OP summoners your refering to are around level 120 or so since thats the active level in the burg, however with the proper stats even 100s could land hits like that depending on your Vit and armor.

In general hosts in the Burg are much MUCH more skilled than the invaders, just think about it, whose going to be more skilled the one invading a strangers world randomly or the one who is constantly risking their own life against multiple opponents and welcoming invaders with open arms. No doubt their are demons in the burg.

Ahhhhhh the beautifull Burg.... Lovelly place for PVP.
Now on topic, is your char attuned for pvp? That may also be your weakness..

i bet the dex weapon in question was either a balder side sword or a painting guardian sword, the first ones r2 is easy to land and really damaging, the second is 1.5 pounds and fast with 400+ar at 40 dex as for the spells, i bet they were wearing tiara's or a golden sun crown right? those boost magic damage and they stack with the booster rings too. also the new dark magic is really strong so thats all normal.
