    Ah yes, the Way. I see I should definitely pick up these books - the Way was mentioned many a time in Sun Tzu and Sun Bin's writings.

    PvE is what it is, although I do still have fun with some challenge runs, but it was PvP that kept the game fresh.

    In the last several months more and more hackers have crept into the XBOX world though.

    Without exaggeration I can say that for the past week I have had a 75/25 ratio of hackers while hosting in the Burg and the Township. There is just nowhere you can go to get a fair, fun. duel.

    Not much of a topic I realize, but I feel like I have earned a right to bid a formal farewell to random PvP, I hope to see more events organized so that I can try to take part in them, (they always seem to be on Saturday nights though, and I am a weeknight XBOXer, need to spend time with the wife on Sats). Other than formalized events, I can't see the point, (and I have been TRYING! I spent nearly five hours hosting last night).

    I am legitimately sad.

    Join me in Dark anor londo, i gravelorded that place last night and OMFG the non hackers were amazing, there was DMBs, Red phantoms and of course the helpless ones who have no clue what a gravelord is, oh the joy.

    The book of what now?

    I am always open to dueling you by the way. We can possibly set something up next week.

    @Aim and Soris: I want in on this as well. twisted

    I would love to set up some duels! big grin

    Where are you PvPing most? I find it astonishing that I could have such a ridiculously high ratio while other XBOX regulars are avoiding it somehow.

    This derailing doesn't have enough insanity in it.

    So, has everyone heard of the things going on between Pendant, Mildred and Rynn? I've heard he's quite the casanova in the bedchambers.

    I mostly stay in the Township, and I go to the Moonpit from time to time. The only hacker I recently saw was in the Township, where I'm sure you met a few. The Moonpit has been hacker-free for my whole Dark Souls career, though.

    I was ignored! How can you resist the derails? Your determination is set. I see your strength. You're going to set off my trap card if you keep trying to resist me.

    Also, lextune, are you running into more hackers when invading or hosting?

    Tough to say. So it is probably 50/50.

    Spent an hour in the Township last night and saw zero hackers though, only about 10 fights but still....

    ....maybe I just had an incredibly bad run of luck the two previous nights.....?

    BRING IT ON MODDERS! But seriously its going to take more than an army of modders to make me stop PvPing in DkS.

    I have tried that. I invaded a gank squad a few days ago and know that one of them was hacking, so I "avoided" all three of them through XBL. Not even 10 minutes later I invaded them again, so I don't think it has much of an affect, if any.

    Avoiding a olayer does have an affect. Players i used to see all the time that ive avoided, and that have avoided me, i rarely see anymire. Your problem was that while you did avoid them you never reloaded the game so you were still on the same server. From what i understand avoiding someone lowers the chance of being on the same server.

    Yeah there's a guy standing in the Township naked with the DSS, unlimited health, and some weird hacked Wrath of the Gods.

    It certainly isn't fun when I have to leave a world every couple of invasions because "Invaded the world of _____ the guilty" pops up.

    To get the advantage, why do people hack games? Because they get salty about something or someone who they can't beat, or they have miserable lives, lol

    An advantage in a game that requires skill? I said it again and I will say it again: This is not COD or any shooter, winning and bragging is not important in this game. The only advantage a player of this game has is the chance that the build he/she created reflects how they play and hope that it makes them the winner of a fight. There is enough stuff in the game that can give someone a big advantage over others. How much more does a person need?

    Ran into a few hackers the other day. One of which was ridiculously bad. Hacked Ornsteins armor and impossibly high HP. I parried him twice and BSed him once. Then he popped a mushroom.

    On a second occasion I got TWoD'ed....that was quite fun too.

    Bumped into my first Xbox hacker after only a few hours play, SL12 at sens a red invades, he's wearing full elite with bloodshield and kellogs furry sword and moving pretty nimbly then proceeds to caste twop, pursuers and wog, managed to dodge them but kellog wiped me out.
