Nice find. I'd actually wondered about that. There are a lot of these potential ones kicking around, like praying at the Sunlight Altar, talking to covenant people, etc.

I do agree with some of the commentors about the guy being a jerk, heh. he's a walking cliche with giants, washing pole, mask, grass crest shield, and he down gestures somebody else? c'mon

thats pretty interesting, surprised about that, what others could you imagine?

also didnt king kobra used to be on our forum?

The guy that ran into the coffin too did not seem to be decked out in gear. Also maybe since he knew he was recording himself he thought it would be cool to gesture. I think if anything this would have been better.



by the way look at these:!

I think the host knew. It said in the description: thanks to nintony

She will not allow you to join the covenant while someone is attempting to invade, or is there. You can get backstabbed while talking to her, and hit regularly.

As for this vid, I saw it a day or 2 ago, and my main thought about it is how much detail FROM puts into their games. No one would have over looked this if he simply swung through the coffin and hit him a bit.

Yea thought so of regular standing conversations with NPCs. What do you think if FROM would have had 6 more months to work on DkS how much more they could have added to the game.

I don't think from would have released something they were not happy with, and I believe they put everything in they could have without more fan feedback.

The stuff that they "messed up" to me wasn't a mistake. Stuff like Fog ring, TWoP, etc, when they made their game, they don't balance everything for the 1v1 PVP crowd. This is a PVE game first and foremost, with a side element of PVP. Those of us who duel every day, and play in tournaments and stuff probably make up for no more than 10-15% of the population.

Other people liked and wanted the changes other than us, because they didn't want to get griefed. But the main thing to point out is that a company like FROM only needs to really listen to it's fans to gather more intel for their next game, like they did between DkS and DeS. I don't think they would have gotten all that much more put in the game with another 6 months of dev time, the only thing I could see if a few more levels being added in with that time, and probably a few more weapons and items (and emotes, please!)

Edit: Now if they decided to do some DLC... That's a whole 'nother story.

I totally agree, I just called him out on it too.

The sonovabitch titanite Demon did that to me countless times when I was trying to do my speedrun and OHKed me. :evil:

I actually saw a picture of that on google image search today, thought it was staged. Now I know it's real, thanks!

Edit: Only other place I can think of right now that's like that is the giant crow's nest, but you can't get invaded there.

You man know this already people have done text dumps of the game and found conversations that are not shown to us in the game but they do appear in the text files. The shiva story for example goes much further than what we see in the game.

There are hints in the game too, you know all the speculation regarding what aliva say's about shiva.

Well the text dump showed what would happen. That is what leads me to conclude that they did not include everything they wanted.

I did find the thread but the link to the text dump no longer works.

Me and Solaire breaking out of the same asylum?

This is actually pretty cool. has anyone tried doing this while curled up in the crows nest?

i dont think you can get invaded in firelink shrine or the asylum.

I dont know about the new animation but this video clearly shows how cheap invaders can be. I mean hitting the host when he is in the coffin, killing him and then point down also ...hmm ok! the funny thing is that the same invader will come to the forums and cry about getting raped by campers pretending that he is a saint who always wants legit fights. bollocks

What?

Assuming this wasn't staged, the host would have gone into the coffin either:

A) Because he thought it would protect him

B) Because he's trying to flee from the invader

In neither of those scenarios would I consider it cheap to kill him in the coffin. Going in the coffin is entirely optional, and the host would have done it in order to try and avoid having to fight the invader. I give my host the most chances I can (I don't heal, I try not to bs him, I let him heal, I don't engage at the same time as mobs) but if he's trying to flee, or use a trick to make himself invulnerable, you can bet I won't hesitate to end the fight there. My generosity has bounds!

hmm... i think you intentionally forgot to mention scenario C) The host was simply trying to reach the gravelord covenant when the red phantom invaded and screwed his game

It takes a lot longer to reach that area when you invade than it does to wait inside the coffin until you're pushed to Nito's area. So scenario C is improbable.

Yeah, the host totally knew. I have no doubt about it.

But if he didn't...now he does!

Totally isn't cheap to kill him in the coffin, either. That's why that attack motion exists...

Nice find.

The game has been out for a while now and there are still new things popping up? Nice. I hope that FROM puts as much (or more) effort to the next Souls game.

the time it takes to reach the coffin as a host or a red phantom does not rule out the possibility that the host might have actually been doing this run simply for reaching the covenant all the way from the start and got unlucky and invaded in the meantime. So scenario C is probable.

I don't think the host was in on it. 1) video doesn't claim he was, 2) video shows the phantom in pursuit of the host who is running towards the coffin rather than having the two just standing by the coffin for the test, 3) the host has a momentary problem getting into the coffin, which suggests he's panicked, 4) phantom has buffed his sword which would otherwise be irrelevant for showing the animation but obviously matters if you're in it to win it, 5) the phantom actually keeps attacking until he kills the guy in the coffin, and 6) why make an obnoxious gesture to someone who was helping you out? I think the much more reasonable interpretation is that the host fled to the coffin because he thought he might either be immune to attack and/or escape the invasion that way. I'd had a similar thought as an invaded host in the past, but managed to kill the DW on the prior bridge so never learned this one the hard way.

I mean, who cares?
