The other night I was hosting in Anor Londo using my Iron Knight Tarkus build (SL122), wielding a +14 Zweihander double-handed, when I was Invaded by this guy wearing what looked like the Black Sorcerers Cloak, light boots of some description, and light gloves of some description. He had no head gear on, and was wielding a Tower Kite shield, Tin Crystallization Catalyst, and kept flipping between a Dagger and a Gargoyles Tail Axe. During the fight he used Homing Crystal Soulmass, Crystal Soul Spear, and White Dragon Breath, which meant that his Intelligence stat had to be at least 50. Nothing unusual there you may think, but on a number of occasions during the fight I managed to hit him full on with an R2 attack, whilst he had his shield down, and even though the sound of a hit was clearly audible he didn't even flinch and the strike took nothing away from his HP bar!
I was like WTF!!!???!!! :affraid:
Normally, a partially connecting R2 blow from a Zweihander is enough to stagger an opponent, that's if it doesn't outright pancake em, but this guy seemed to be able to simply absorb the hits.
Now I know that lag can sometimes make it look like an opponent is directly in front of you when they are in fact off somewhere in the next realm, and that this can lead to the sound of a hit registering when in fact it wasn't even close, and so I quit the session immediately afterwards believing that this was the case. However, about five minutes into a new session the same guy Invades my world again, and f-me it was like deja vue all over again!
On both occasions there were no obvious signs of lag present, yet despite the fact that he was wearing light clothing and barely raised the shield he had to protect himself, he still managed to come away with the win without so much as a scratch on him, even though it looked like I should of been pummeling the absolute crapola out of him!
After the second encounter I PSN messaged him to try and get some answers, and all I got back was (and I quote)- "pmsl", which has lead me to believe that he may of been up to no good, but how is this even possible, bearing in mind that I play DkS on a PS3?
