Hi guys (1st post)
background = 1st build played hollow and alone most of game, 4-5 other builds have been playing human as much as possible, (OPENED PORTS on VERIZON ROUTER per a DEMON SOULS forum post, made a difference although my 1.5MB DSL is sometimes sketchy on rainy days due to the copper lines in the country so I do see invader fails and summon fails). ANYWAYS to the SUBJECT - was sitting at the bonfire next to the door you need the crest of ARtorias or whatever and was farming the ents for moss when I saw I could drop my white soapstone (hadn't defeated HYDRA or BUTTERFLY yet), all of a sudden being summoned, arrived, host, another phantom and I did the Knights who cast magic (who I stay away from, but the phantom was kicking ***) - the Knight guarding the grass crest shield and the Hydra (where the other phantom died, I don't think he had healing and the host was low level) - we finished the hydra and he didn't know where to go so I led him to the witch summon sign and the butterfly (where he died)
DIDN'T know you could be summoned without defeating bosses (doesn't apply to mini bosses?)
I'm assuming anytime your white soapstone is active (when equiped) you can use it and be summoned (unless the servers only look in hotspots (but then it seems , the WS would not be active until you are at hotspots.
I see some signs sometimes, not so much, wish this part was fixed and a FEATURE that could be added is WHEN YOU SUMMON OTHERS the UNDEAD and BOSSES have more HP (Because some of the CO-OP fights are crazy easy with 3 peeps (only thing 3 peeps are good for is the INVASION which CAN be a much higher level guy)
