So Doors of Pharros is a joke area right?

First of, there are millions of Pharros's contraception doors, and I have no idea which ones to activate nor what the hell they do actually, They dont give you any good items, thats for sure. The boss is ridiculously difficult, I wont even attempt to take him without help, and the water area is terrible for traversal, you're slow as fuck.

But the worst part are these bizarre forced invasions. I am being put into a host's world, without even wanting to invade anyone, the game just automatically invades for me. And when I get there, the NPC enemies attack me and completely ignore the host !!!! I know there is a certain item that makes NPCs attack the invader, but I didnt know it also makes the enemies ignore the host. That just seems completely game breaking for me.

Fuck this area.


You are the invasor in Door of Pharros. It has something to do with a Covenant. You step a foot inside it, all protectors of Pharros are going to go against you. It's like Belfry Luna.

 

And, if you join that Covenant, you can wait in Door of Pharros without the enemies attacking you and for each victim you kill, you gain a Pharros Lockstone. That's the purpose

I hate forced pvp, not interested. But you can always play the area off-line, excpet with that hard a boss it's probably not an option to go alone. At least you can clear the area off-line with the 10 spawn limit.

My first encounter was the belfry in bastille, luckily just a small zone and the off-line invader is as dumb as other enemies, easy to run up and ring the bell avoiding them. Then become human and summon someone right before the door.

Second time I got summoned as a grey phantom in grave of the saints. I signed out of psn again, if not for the useless pvp interruption, the load times are equal as annoying. The royal rat vanguard was 'interesting' alone as a caster, 15-20 minute fight of survival.

Now I found the entrance to belfry sol? in Iron keep. Guess I'll take a peak later off-line. It really would be nicer games if I could turn pvp off. It's just annoying when I'm in the middle of a fight and an invader shows up because I forgot I was still human after doing co-op. They always run behind enemies that don't react to them. I just jump off a ledge, solves the human part and leaves my souls in a easy to retrieve spot. Plus matchmaking is still a joke, invaders show up with spells I have no access to for a long time.

Love the game, but the expanded forced pvp parts are a downside.
