Can't find any world to invade, Forest Covenant

[Spub]

I'm SL 125 trying to auto invade with the Cat covenant ring, but i can't find any worlds.. ?

Gank squads dude. The forest is dead now.

In the PSDE version I recall forest hunter players/hosts for the most part being duelists who just only want a fair fight and you can usually rely on invaders to wait in line.

I am guessing that the re-release might of upset that balance?

I suggest doing as many covenants as possible at 50 or lower. I know you can't help it what level you are when you find them though.

Forest Covenant you get all the rewards with just 3 kills, and that can happen as you spawn in.

I think a lot of people are probably hesitant to level up too quickly. You'd get a ton of action in the 2-50 range. I like to co-op as white phantom or SunBro at all the early stages of the game to help people get to Sen's Funhouse. It also gives you an interesting perspective as you meet a lot more new players. They need help getting to the forest and other fun PVP hotspots in my opinion.

SunBro for an afternoon for Havel/Taurus, or under the Wyvern bridge, Gargoyles, or even Capra Demon. You'll have at least 30 soft humanity and 50K+ souls for whatever. A lot of people summon for the butterfly area as well.

Weird, my experience in the forest was gank squads waiting to kick your ♥♥♥♥ in.

I had to block a trio temporarily because I kept invading them in the forest over and over again, and it wasn't going well for me lol. They had a pretty good plan actually. Two of them would body block as the third tried to suck humanity. Alternatively, one of the body blockers would head shot with a bow to stagger prior to the suck. It was a challenge just to get a few hits in before the inevitable backstabs. Never got sucked though, so I got that going for me.

Yeah it might of been the grouping thing that upset the forest hunters. It makes getting gank squads together much easier.

coop stuff

My favorite areas for coop are The Depths at level 30, and Anor Londo at level 50. The Gaping Dragon is just a fun fight to savor with a +5 longbow. The PvP at Anor Londo is pretty good, and at level 50 you get to see how different people have widely different playstyles

Not to mention they have to have the same weapon tier as you, though at 100+ that's probably a nonissue.

Pretty sure weapon tiers aren't a thing on here.

They actually are a thing for the remaster.

So what are the details on how weapon tier works? I assume I should just try to match what other people are using tier-wise?

What about twinkling titanite/demon titanite stuff? Or gear that does not upgrade at all?

I knew it existed but I never realized it was this poorly implemented.

I need a drink after reading that.

I think I need several.

The more details that are unearthed about the remaster the more depressing this gets.

Yeah it has + and - but what can we do, DS3 and Bloodborne have the same system..

[Aleccia Rosewater]

So I just try to match the WL of what I expect people to have at this point of the game as well as the SL? Well i have been playing normally up until now and have had no problem getting myself summoned so I will keep doing what I have

This post helps greatly, thanks~

I don't understand how antiquated can they be, can't they calculate max/min dps and damage soaking and match make on that(and then have it so you can disable it as needed)...I bet they don't even keep logs longer than a week how are you going to track items and ban hackers if you have such as inept system... they need to log every action and reaction a player dose that right there can give a quick view over if theirs hacking involved don’t even need to fuss over items unless they are outside the bounds of what the item/weapon can do….

I know this is an old discussion, but I'm having the exact same issue.I'm an SL121 pyro right now on NG+ and I can barely find anybody to invade while playing Forest Hunter(darkmoon blade too).Strange thing is that before NG+ it was so easy to find people to invade and I was like SL100-110, guess 10 levels really make a difference.I'm not even seeing any summon/invasion signs in areas that I used to find plenty.Where do all the big dogs hang out in the higher levels?Lmao

[Gropalopagus]

It is an old game and all online play is slow. You're probably better off making an invasion character at a SL that people will run into in play through 1.

SL35 can get invasions in blight town, sens and anor londo

SL50-60 Isn't bad for later game
