What can I do about stream sniper?

Firstly, I admit: I'm a bad player. I'm so bad that sometimes it's not even funny. But I'm trying to get good. With this question out of the way, I'll describe my problem: I'm dealing with a stream sniper. For three days now! He is stalking me for hours every day, until I end my stream. My chat is saying, he is clearly cheating - no way he could obtain two chaos katanas with my soul memory and with his level of playing (he is winning only because I'm so bad). Of course, in the end, I just go offline, but I don't want to do it all the way until I beat the game - writings on the floor, player phantoms and dloodstains are helping me a lot. Also, I don't mind invasions, as long as they are somewhat fair fight, even if I loose all the time. But this nonesence... It's just unbearable. Three days now! What can I do about him if I know his steam profile? I don't want to always be offline and I don't want to cheat to be on par with him

I don't get it, somebody is invading your all the time? To be honest, that sounds impossible. When somebody invades your world, he need to take a few minutes to make it back, and how does he know where's your exactly location?

It's alright, english sucks.

But still impossible to somebody stalk you all the time.

I'm streaming on Twitch, so he knows my every step. Yes, there are some minutes between his invasions, but still - he always returns, again and again... For three days...

Ohhhh now I get it.

Well, this is part of the game. You can't do anything about it. Unless contact the game support.

If he was not cheating it would be part of the game... How deranged someone should be to do something like that for so long... All right then, I'll go contact the support, thank you

Too bad, their site says "We can not offer you services right now" when I try to log in...

Thanks for the offer but one of my viewers is already prepairing for battle) I just wanted to know if there is a way to deal with the prick for good. Also, I found the correct support site of Bamko - Google gave me the old site at first, that's why it was not working

The best antidote to a chronic invader is the intended mechanics. Get some co-op friends. Invader VS co-opers is the way it was meant to be.

There's also the police. Unfortunately, waiting for a Blue Sentinel is not likely to happen in Dark Souls 2. That covenant is not nearly as active as it is in DS3. You could still try joining the Way of Blue and wearing the ring if you wanted.

If all else fails you can burn a Human Effigy at a bonfire and completely turn off co-op/invasions in that area for 30 minutes.

The only way to reduce streamsniping is to have your stream be broadcasted with a delay of a few minutes or more. The downside is that your interaction with chat will also be delayed as a result.

If you don't mind farming for Human Effigies or have someone who can drop you a bunch, you can burn them at bonfires to effectively disable multiplayer (PvP and Co-op) for 30 minutes for the area it has been burned at. The timer will freeze if you leave that area. You'll also gain this effect, when killing a boss (again, only for the area the boss is belonging to). Messages, bloodstains and player ghosts will still be visible.

2 Chaos Blades aren't too difficult to get legit at lower SM if you know what you're doing. Having 2 of these is kind of pointless anyways.

Thank you for answer) I think, me and my viewer can take this bully on. I know about the Way of Blue, but right now I'm in another covenant and don't want to change it. Burning Human Effigy helps, but this crazy stalker is waiting and watching all the time, so he knows when the effect is expiring almost before me

Thank you, I already said that Human Effigys are helping, but only for a limited time, and as soon as effect expires - he is already here.

I don't think he knows what he's doing... I have almost kill him once, even with all his gear and weapons. And it was me - me, who struggles with regular monsters
