Blue Sentinels not working :(

[Cent]

Trying all I can. Embered, waited in areas I'd cleared, waited in areas I hadn't even started, Waited near bonfire, Waited away from bonfire. My weapon is +3 and my level is 41. I don't get why it's an issue. I need a fix. Yes, the icon is flashing.

Problem is, only time you will get summoned, is when someone who is in "Way of the Blue" gets invaded. Way of the Blue grants no other benefit and therefore almost noone use it. Couple this with the fact that soul levels need to match within a certain amount, and you have a very rare chance of getting summoned.

Same here. I can summon , get summoned and invade , but Farron and Blue Sentinel´s Covenant doesn´t work :S

[TrilbyMonster]

When I invade there's a blue or Darkmoon every single time today. If I wait an hour to get summoned-nothing. =.= da faq is this.

See, if the game had Dark Souls 2's population, I'd agree entirely, but with this new release new players have FLOODED into the game. Tons of people are using way of the blue. Multiple people saying it's just summon after summon. Soapstones work fine, Aldrich Faithful works fine. But not Bluebros or Farron kiddies. I think it's something to do with the server.

Problem is that not many ppl use the Way of the blue covenant.

But it does work. I tried it in the Road of Sacrifice and it worked. But thats mostly because it's a pvp invasion area (Watchdogs of Farron). Thats probably one of the few places where anyone would use the Way of blue covenant to automatically get help when invaded.

But yeah, most ppl use other covenants and just use summon signs manually to get help.

The Farron covenant also does work. But you have to be in that area.

You're missing the point. Waiting 2 hours and not even getting summoned is clearly an issue.

Bump.

I guess no one needs help then or you are higher level than anyone who does need help. But it does work. I tried it myself today. Waited like 5 minutes and got summoned to fight off a Farron invader. I guess the guy was getting invaded so much that he had to equip the Way of blue covenant, but most others dont use it or maybe don't even know about it.

We really need the blue eye back. Why is it not in the game?

Blues can help host 20 levels below them or 10 levels up. I'm 41. My weapon is +3, meaning I can help peoplke with un-upgraded weapons. The game is broke. For some people, like I said, it works fine. Lucky you.

Part of the problem might be that since there is no problem with summoning people for co-op the Way of the Blue is not needed.

But there are still thousands of low level players in the covenant.

The last three people I've invaded had Darkmoons come to their aid. I then waited in the same area and still got no summon as a Darkmoon. I made a new character earlier who is SL20 and rushed to get the Blue Sentinel covenant. Went back to High Wall and got nothing. Farron never worked for me but Aldrich was seconds between summons. Something has to be wrong.

Exactly what's happening here.

On every invader, there can be one blue sentinal. If the blue sentinal covenant has double the players of the way of blue, every way of the blue player has to be invaded 2 times per hour for the sentinals summoned once per hour.

In addition, you can find the sun bros covenant very shortly after the way of blue, already splitting the players - and you get the way of blue covenant item only if you talk with Emma again. Not everyone does that.

And you can only be invaded when you are "embered". I play offline because my laptop is kinda bad (but i can't wait for a new PC, game is too good ._.), but i basically never use embers anyway. Even when playing online, i basically would only use embers in boss fights as an emergency heal because i don't want to get invaded in the first place (and do bosses on my own without help).
