Return to events are community events where Souls Players will come back to an older game from the series to help keep it alive. Return to Yharnam for example is in March and return to Lothric was just in October ✌️
my second PvP experience ever on this game was the eye opening magical experience of being backstabbed by a guy standing 5 feet in front of me. gotta love dark souls.
I had someone invade my buddy who’s playing for the first time. He was on his way to the Gargoyles and this guy showed up with Dark Bead and giants armor. I didn’t know what to tell my friend….
They just giving away free backstabs like the supermarket special lol Man I miss how good the hit boxes was for backstabs even I could fish in the souls series 😂
@@executioner_ecgbert884 Not even the PvE can. If they move an inch forward, you fail the backstab, unlike in DS2 or DS3. And in DS1, well, try to back an enemy that did a jumping attack. You will do a PvP backstab. That shit is ugly lmao.
So basically you get backstabbed then you get backstabbed and then a backstab. Then you get stabbed in the back followed up by a backstab, and when you least expect it they run behind you for another backstab. Backstab backstab backstab backstab. Did I mention the part where you get backstabbed? Anywho, you get backstabbed, backstabbed, backstabbed, and then you get the timing of the roll wrong and die instantly to a darkbead/pursuers mage build. Then they point down before the slow death sequence ends, then you wait through the slow loading screen, and then you start the level all over again. That's why I retired after ~1600 hours
You can say it's shitty netcode, but you were warned, that time is convoluted. If you want to fix this - stop fighting endlessly like a hollow and go link the flame. It's your destiny as a chosen undead.
The pvp is not for everyone but generally If you like backstab fishing in any of the other games you’ll enjoy ds1 pvp. It is mostly fishing but it’s pretty sick when you get the hang of it.
Every level is active with wex dust! But I usually invade level 90 to avoid meta duelists. Download the PvP helper mod from Nexus for wex dust ( link in description)
@@FreeBrawling Aren't there any players with flaws? I'm an honest player in that regard, in the official I sometimes find an agent that does more damage than me, I don't know if it's because of over level when they invade me or I invade.
lvl 50-60 is the most active. if your on PC get the PvP overhaul mod by metal crow, it includes wex dust equivalent. if not then just invade anor londo. most people that you will invade are PvE noobs that dont know how to fight back. so if you want you can invade Oolacile township at SL 135 thats where the "tryhard" pvp is at and some good players to go against i basically live in the townshit
@@The.Poison.Avelynyou can just use chaos +5 since by anor londo they will have picked up crystal halberd and lightning spear, or have a +10 weapon, meaning their weapon lv will matchmake with fully upgraded ones anyway
Enjoy! Make sure to download the PvP Overhaul Mod off of Nexus if you plan to PvP. It gives you an item similar to DS3 wex dust, allowing you to invade everywhere at once
First off, if you’re on PC make sure to download the “PvP Overhaul Mod” from Nexus. It’ll give you a red eye orb that searches everywhere at once (wex dust). You’ll find it at the New Londo merchant. With wex dust, every level is active. I like 45+10 to target Sen’s Fortress. 60+15 to target Anor Londo. 90+15 to get invasions late game and some NG+. 125 for Oolacile duels.
@@mattheusspooYou don't get why because you don't know your options and how to execute them when it comes to backstabs, once you do it becomes really fun and satisfying to outplay other good players at pvp. No wonder people been playing ds1 pvp since 2012, there is a lot of tech and depth in it, but most of it is invisible to the untrained eye so it may seem like it's just going behind someone and pressing r1 but it's way more than that. I know a lot of players that tried ds3 and elden ring pvp and just went back to ds1 pvp.

Backstabs are slightly better since last patch in ER, but not nearly as free as DS
As much as I dislike Elder Rim PVP, I've never been backstabbed from the front like in DS1 and ds2 😂
@@executioner_ecgbert884 it can happen thankfully it's rare

putting the level requirements on weapons for matchmaking really screwed this game over
Luckily PC has wex dust now so activity is booming
how?
Good memories brings me a classic pvp on dlc area good to know servers are still online
great video
DS1 is still very active on PC

i don't miss this pvp at all
It's still more fun than L2 the game
@@executioner_ecgbert884Honestly. I prefer L2 the game over backstab simulator
DS2 is a compromise of crazy weapon arts & endless fishing, since you can completely ignore backstabs with the Jesters armor
Ds2 is where its at

At what level of the weapon do I find the most activity? steam pc , Do I just use the official game or does it require a mod?

@@FreeBrawling In invasions, it is influenced by whether having a special weapon when invading is affected without it being improved.
what level range is active now? haven't tried to figure it out myself yet, just coming back to ds1
I’ve had luck at all level ranges on PC using the PvP overhaul mod

I was level 45 for the opening Anor Londo invasions but the guy that tried to cheese me in the forest at 0:35 was level 80+

Dark Souls on the Switch💀
I can only imagine how broken invasions there are

Lots of them at meta. Level 90 invasions are much better than 125

that guy was cheating that build is not possible. also he had a cancel backstab script on. also no one actually uses havel flip
Subbed because of this lmao
Appreciate it! Plenty more DS1 to come, and other From titles
Glad to hear! Seems like a lot of souls channels dipped off after ER and Chase took all the views. Keep at it.
what on earth was that last one?
