can i turn off invasion while going coop?

[Tess, The Thronglet]

how the invasion works?
do i get invaded while playing alone? or only coop?

[Kotton]

play offline mode - but in coop you don't have a choice .

no, it's a package deal

[Fresh]

how does this work in ironman mode? can you not co-op as ironmen?

[Psyme]

in the faq they said the password system affects all play modes now includint invasions, does it not block random invasions?

Such a shame, was about to buy the game based on the 2.0 update changes. I would have loved to explore this gorgeous world but I will not deal with the stress of forced PVP.

I was about to buy 2 copies until I saw this. Bummer.

Invasion is really fun, even if they kill us last night. Next time we will win.

Could anybody confirm this? I'm pretty interested to give this game a chance, but I simply do not want gankers while playing co-op with a friend.

I just tested the password thing, and despite the FAQ saying it works with the pvp, it does not. Got invaded in 3 minutes of loading in.

would sorta defeat the purpose of invasions if you could just block it that way

if they wanted to they would add an invasion toggle, but it's clearly by design

They need to change their own wording in the FAQ

And it's garbage design. At this point the only reason this system exists in newer games is tradition.

i don't like invasions, either, but every dev seems to follow fromsoft's direction as if it's the law

These invasions are frustrating to say the least when playing co-op. We both new and barely know the game and in pops up a all kitted out player and 2 shots us both. This happened 5 times in 3 hours of playing... honestly makes me regret wasting time with it

Well too bad then. I'll get it when/if they change that. Best of luck to them in the meantime.

Yep, exactly what I want to avoid. I'm here for a more relaxed experience with my friend. If they feel I should absolutely get ganked, well, then it's just not a game for me. /shrug
