God the Belfry Luna sucks...

[Erebus]

Trying to summon friend to help on the freaking Gargoyle spam, instead get invaded like 20 times. Is there even a cooldown on invasions?

[Seldrath]

I love Bellbros!

[Loligo Vulgaris]

Seems fine to me.

Yeah, when I really just want to kill the Gargoyles it gets pretty annoying. Not looking forward to going through ratscum areas.

It's especially annoying because there's not really an easy way to go offline in the Steam version, in the PS3 version signing out let you go offline at any time, but on Steam you have to do a bit more and even then I don't think you can go back to online mode without completely restarting the game. On PS3 simply going to the main menu and signing back in works fine.

Wish it at least had a play offline option in game, because the current method disables achievements while offline. Also burning a human effigy doesn't stop bellbro invasions either.

Can't you just summon someone near the bonfire where you can't be invaded and then just bum-rush the fog wall?

Nope you cant.. you have to be in the belfry area to sign and summon..... to assist just quickly drop your sign at the start and hope your summoner lives long enough to help.

I'm a bellbro too and its really fun, AND you get that sweet titanite, besides that, I just went to kill the gargs myself, and it went smooth on first try. Summoned a sunbro, killed two invaders, and wrecked the goyles. Mayhaps you are just unlucky, try again bro!

[ricanrolla]

Yeah I was getting invaded every other few minutes, I had two invaders at all times and fighing the little bell keepers but luckily I summoned two really good players and we kill the invaders, the bell keepers and the gargolyes.

Yeah there are a bunch of noobs playing this game trying to invade me at the bell tower. I constantly destroy them even when they team up against me. Some people just suck at fighting in this game.

Bell covenant would be completely broken if the area were mandatory, even as an optional area it's insanely annoying. Even after burning a human effigy you still get invaded 1-3 times *per minute*. And joining the covenant doesn't give you any protection. Having pvp hotspots is all well and good but the Belfry just feels unfair and unfun. Effigies should work as advertised, and if not, you should at least get the same cooldown that you get in Rat areas... fighting 4x as many invaders as npc enemies is stupid.

[Sammarok-GoodGaming]

Just to make it clear, "burning a human effigy" does NOT stop invasions in the bell keepers areas. Do not waste your human effigies.

Is it confirmed that it makes no difference at all? All the sources I've seen say that burning an effigy doesn't turn off invasions, it just lowers your priority... so is burning it completely useless, or is there just such a high volume of invasions in the Belfry that even with one burnt you still get regular invasions? If it makes you get less invasions at all then it's worthwhile.

Most fun place ingame! I acutally made a char just for ganking this place :)

[Deathfromace]

I love defending that place but I have to be near the kill limit to get the last rank so I might leave them after that. But it is fun getting summoned when I'm out killing stuff.

I will say I feel sorry for the players trying to get across the castle because I got to that area and it sucks having tons of souls on the line and a player gets summoned because you have to go through that area.

Bellbros rejoice!
