Not sure where to put this so I'm putting it here. Forum member Jaythibodeau and myself spent a good amount of time trying to accomplish a simple trade to get ready for the Ceaseless Assault.
Our mission: Trade him the Soul of Siff he wanted for his build and give him gear to transfer to a character I am making for Ceaseless Assault
What happened: We started trying in New Londo where I was invaded in about 30 seconds... the fun begins. We change venue to the depths in hopes that it would be quieter, that was a mistake... We realized this about the time we both were getting invaded. While Jaythibodeau was dealing with cheap bs fishers, I was dealing with trolls trying to lure me into NPCs to aoe me to death. I had one of these trolls hang out for 30 minutes. That particular troll though I made run through the whole depths by kicking him down the shortcut in the kitchen. After waiting forever and still not seeing his red sign we changed spots again to the entrance of Moonlight Butterfly boss. Upon arrival I was able to summon him almost instantly, success, well not so much. We were invaded while I was dropping the gear. We scrambled and grabbed it all and started fighting the invader. I wont say exactly how, friendly fire , but jay went down. Luckily we had almost killed him so I just finished the job. Round two summoned him almost instantly again, and invaded as I dropped the gear again. He killed Jay and quickly grabbed the gear on the ground. Some how, I totally wasn't lured to NPCs, he killed me. Being an honest invader he sent me a message to come summon him and he would give the stuff back. In the process of summoning him I was invaded again and killed by WoTG, just that, I defiantly didn't get baited to stone giants twice in a row... Well back in human form I summon the guy that took my gear and he actually gave it back, very surprising. For round three Jay and I move to the partizan location. If it hasn't become apparent where this is going by now, invaded again. This time Jay was ready to fight. while I was getting bounced around by the phantom and stone giants, jay was expertly killing him like a boss. We killed, or I should say Jay, killed him and we were finally able to finish the trade.
Time spent: 2 hours
Results: 7/8 kills and 300k for me, if you count Jay... from what Jay told me he got 2 kills and around 50k souls Death count 2 each. He got his soul of Siff. I will get my gear upon leveling up to 55. All and all I would say it was an interesting/ fun experience.
Edit: I did have the invaders psn that gave me my stuff back listed, but removed it since I dont know if we can post that stuff. If he sees this he will know and props to him for being cool.
