| Btw hollow invasions are really annoying. When they're not close I can sign out to get rid of them but that means quitting the game to get co-op working again. Fighting them the best out come results in using up my heavy hitters I want to save for the boss. One other time I was at 10% health fighting of a bunch of enemies when stabbed in the back, and 2 other times both me and the invader ended up dead. Toxic and poison from the invader, while I use flame swathe. It's just grief play imo, my zone resets and I have to retrieve my souls, while the invader suffers no penalty at all for dying I imagine. (Never invaded anyone myself) Luckily it happens far less often then in Dark souls where running around not hollow would mean getting invaded within a minute. |
It seems a lot of griefers moved into DS2, but a lot of them stayed on DS1, at least on the PC version. You can't get through the Undead Burg area, while Human, without being invaded constantly. Heck, I got invaded at SL 1 by a dude sporting Full Havel's, while I still had my starting Pyro gear.
People seem to get their kicks out of destroying other gamer's progression while they have no chance of fighting back. Never got grief-invaded on DS2, most of the invasions I suffered were on the Iron Keep area, but I managed to fend them off since my Lightning Drangelic Sword +5 was hitting like a ton of bricks back then.
