Now, when I invade, I set a certain set of rules, especially for my modded toon.
1. Always Bow or Wave
2. Drop an item (if possible) to show that I am not here to be an ***
3. Only Buff my weapon/self once
4. Never backstab
5. Never Riposte
6. Never Divine Blessing
7. Nothing OP (Fast rolling Havel, Dark Bead Spam, etc)
8. Fight fair and even.
Now, if the opponent has a Summoned Phantom in his/her world, then I offer to fight one at a time, if they gang up on me, I will try my best to obey my rules; however, if they start backstab fishing, or spamming WotG, etc, I pop a Divine and all bets are off.
This isn't the main point here however,
Yesterday I was invading Anor Londo with my modded toon.
Shadow Set +5
Washing Pole +5
Darkmoon Tali
Ascended Flame +5
Ring of Favor
Dark Wood Grain
HP ~2000 (Maybe a little less at this time...don't remember exactly but it was around here)
Sunlight Blade
Darkmoon Blade
Power Within
A decent (and viable) set up.
I invaded and this guy was nowhere to be found. It took me a good 10-15 min to find him, and he was hiding in the room with the Royal Sentries on the High Balcony by the broken window where you find the Dragonslayer Bow. I led him down to the bridge before the spinning staircase, and bowed.
Ignoring my bow, he charged me and hit me with Obsidian Greatsword. I flipped away and buffed, then charged. I'm not great at PvP. In fact I am rather terrible, even with a modded toon, and I manage to do very little damage to this man with my Sunlight Blade Washing Pole. My buff fades and now it just vanilla sword and dodge tactics.
All is going well, until he starts to back stab fish me. I was hit by two, and had practially no health left, so because he decided to chain stab me, I popped a divine and charged again. He was far enough away to pop a humainty and the fight continued. Finally after about 10-15min of on less than par pvp work on my end, I managed to get bs'd to death, and then recieve wave after wave of hate mail from this guy. To which I replied "Why are you so mad? You won O_O"
What I would like to know is how you feel about the subject.
Was I in the right for playing that way (albeit besides using a modded toon.) Or should I have held back from using a divine and let him bs me?
This also bring to mind another question:
Is it okay to mod so long as you are responsible and doing it to save time as opposed to doing it to make yourself unbeatable?
Disclaimer:
I don't typically PvP with my Modded Toon, typically I will invade, toy aaround, drop an item or to, then BSC or kill myself, other than that I help people with bosses like O&S or Quelaag. I also realize that by posting this I run the risk of running into the brick wall that is the annti-modding morals of alot of players....oh well.
