So this is really frustrating, this is not my first time playing but I just don't understand how come people are so freakin crazy strong. My understanding is they can only be 10levels difference between the original person and the invader. For instance I started a Pyro I'm about level 20 and I just got invaded by a guy with the Forest ring thingy that lets people cartwheel around. hes got a fully upgraded Drake sword and kills me in a single hit, not a backstab, if hes within 10 levels how the hell could he have all those items?

People will progress through the game without leveling up and can come back with their upgraded and more powerful weapons and kill low level players. That's how most low level invasions work seeing as players at your level might not know how multiplayer works.

They also make use of a glitch to transfer items from a stronger to a weaker character. Levels in this game generally mean less than equipment, you don't really stand a chance against those guys at SL 20.

Honestly my suggestion is just not to go human until later on when your geared up. They are stronger than you because you don't have max upgraded gear. Just look around the forum you'll find armor suggestions and weapons and ect. Good luck.

You could also wait around bonfires and look for soapstone signs. Sometimes players that have high level equipment will help you get through a level (but invasions can still happen) it might give you more of a chance, but your best bet is still going through the level just undead as Gaxe said.

Griefing with a Drake Sword?
How avant-garde.

Yeah I that's my plan, I just think its unfortunenant that I can't play around with invading because this level range is chaulk full of exploiters but thats the nature of people I suppose. I'm going to remake my guy anyway from everything i'm reading they say resistance is worthless and I've been putting most of my points into that so far.

Re: Why do I suck and Why are they gods
resistance is really good against npcs but not so much against invaders. vit gives you more health which is good for both pve and pvp. but dont give up man, once you get used to it dark souls will become one of your favorite rpg's dont let the griefers stop you.Githiun wrote:Yeah I that's my plan, I just think its unfortunenant that I can't play around with invading because this level range is chaulk full of exploiters but thats the nature of people I suppose.

Re: Why do I suck and Why are they gods
^ The pvp really has a learning curve, especially now i bet ,since its really only the dedicated players left. The forest has no lvl restrictions unlike other areas. Also remember that humanity gives you extra defense(which i think was bad game design) so most players make sure they have 99 or as much as possible. They also will always have all their gear upgraded as much as possible.

yup.... its not properly explained. If you have 99 humanity its basically like having another set of light armor on.

Re: Why do I suck and Why are they gods
theres a glitch, that allows you to get 99humanity from only one. TONS of people use it, if you want to know how you tube it or go to gamefaqs. Its really unfair for new players, the players who win the most get more defense....not a good idea, in my opinion.
Dont think its going to make a MAJOR difference, but it can mean the difference between you getting 1shot and having a little hp left.

Re: Why do I suck and Why are they gods
or if you feel manly and you dont glitch like me, just simply co-op with other players who need help, every time you help sombody beat a boss you will get souls and a humanity in your invitory, only gotta co-op 99 times and dont die afterwards : D killing invaders and being an invader and killing the host will also give you humanity.
