you know what would be nice?

becoming a firekeeper of a bonfire


think about it

you get humanity each like 5 minutes or so when you're near it (although it would make it too easy)

if anyone rest on it on their wolrd while you're the firekeeper of that bonfire you would gain 2 humanity and 3 estus flasks

what do you guys think?

at least i'd like to become one in-game

make it a covanent... but there'd have to be a drawback though like, you constantly have a gravelord-esq sign that follows you about when human and the invaders that attack you get 5 humanity upon victory

Why would you want to stand in one place for that long for a humanity reward? Its very easy to farm in large quantities now.

I mean, its a neat idea I just think there needs to be more to it.

yeah make it a constant thing, every 5 min a humanity, but you also can be invaded at all times by any level when human, even fire link wouldn't be safe (as lautrec proved with anastacia)

yes it will be made easier to be invaded since oyu wil most likely always be in human form

but to counter being invaded constantly you can "bless" the map you're in by a cost of 10 humnanity or so to have

like blue phanton version of the enemies which would instead of attacking you attack the invader

Ohh i can just imagine that on tomb of the giants Blue phanton skeledogs TO THE RESCUE!!

That would be awesome. Total reversal of the most trollish invasion areas.

Thought you would invade me in sens fortress did you? muamuahahaha

^

the invader dies as he is knocked down either by one blue phanton serpent swordsman or by a ranged one on the bridge above

fall down and survive the fall only to be pounded by the blue phanton titanite demon

Yeah i dare you invade me now i DARE YOU!

ANNNND darkmoons would not be able to invade you because by being a firekeeper you are helping the gods by extending the fire

Only if having a sin on you or being indited removed your ability to bless zones and made you vulnerable to invasion again. Just like how indited darkmoons can't use the blue eye orb.

though i've noticed that every fire keeper not under a covs protection is dead or dies... so a higher invade rate? either way i like the blue phantom idea.

and wouuld be that any bonfire you rest in while you're resting its a sanctuary for you pretty much

you cannot be invaded when resting at a bonfire neither you can get attacked on it

this idea is accelerating from the basic OP so fast lol

it's a cool idea, the fact you're constantly open to invasion but have a unique way to defend yourself..

but i think the whole basic idea of becoming self sufficient using near bonfires and relying on others connected to you is kind of a confusing idea and one that would be very hard to implement though..

hey not like i will be implemented anyway so yeah

lol i know, just saying

would be a fun addition though some quirky covenant like that, maybe they'll make covenants more interesting and appealing for variation next game.
