Pvp in this game is dead.

[NiflRav]

Invasions - no one give you a second. Just instantly spam attacks.
Arena - No way bro. Or you will be killed from afar. Or other player will use ash and jump-teleport to you for one attack instantly staggering you.
Summoned pvp - player just stand behind you or near to instantly backstab.

DS1 - DS3 was much better experience.

This is first and foremost a single player game. MP is an afterthought.

The biggest problem with pvp is the terrible netcode.

Op's ranting about how PVP was a glorified experience before Souls games reached the mainstream popularity of elden ring, lmfao.

My guy doesn't remember fighting Havel/giant dads.

I don't think he was around for that. If you look at his page he didn't really do much of any Dark Souls, he really just plays Elden Ring.

It was a better experience before becoming mainstream and atracting more competitive players, that doesnt mean they didnt exist before, i do remember those type of guys since DS1 in PS3, its just more common now as time passes, people that try funny builds, cosplays, and try to interact whit other players in general are not usual anymore.

My best recent experience getting invaded was a guy named "Drip inspector", he came whit a torch, looked at me, did a gesture and leave.
That was a hundred times funnier than any pvp that i could get, i hope this things never disappear

Because if you get killed by one you're gonna end up in a meme video where your death is shown to everyone accompanied by skrillex and shouting

How is it a meme when it's been one of the most minmaxed builds back in ds1?
