DS PvP Overhaul Mod makes DS1 extremely active. I would recommend this to anyone. Also once installed, it disables anti cheat. With that, you can download DS1 Gadget. Allows you to make builds from scratch. Just don’t manually change levels, drop yourself great hero souls, weapons, key items. And you can warp and unlock all bonfires you like.

I was thinking about getting ds1 for PC for some time now, but since I don't really have time to play anyway + my little working laptop can only run it at low settings I didn't buy it, maybe when I get something better

Nah man we kinda need mechanics update. Backstabs are bs, poise is hugely overpowered, some spells are beyond broken, invasion spawns are terrible, the game feels sluggish for today's standards, if we're talking about a remake, there's much to fix.
@@deviouscat4571 so you want another ds3, bloodborne or elden ring clone? Sorry, but these games bore me to death and they don't reach the depth of classic DS1, so I'd very much appreciate if it stays the way it is, looking at the mechanics. If you don't like it, these games still exist for you. But I know that many people just want the polished games, with all the fun tech removed, because they don't care for learning all the fun and crazy stuff. ds1 has to offer
This one is my first DS games and I must say as much as I love this game i would love to know how i can do pvp matches on this game because everything seems deserted and there is nothing in the game to tell me how
always wanted to learn ds1 pvp, invaded casually years ago but i mostly invaded in ds2, still worth learning the mechanics even with all the tryhards? x)
I haven't been to lower levels for a while but I have an older video for it at SL15: ruclips.net/video/louNMT3Bd_U/видео.html I don't think much changed here, from other uploaders I see that there are still enough players and many twinks
I have almost finished my current goals in the game and want to look at getting into PVP. Return to Lordran is also happening right now. Then I watch this and think I can't even menu fast enough to always quit game when I have ample time, what chance do I have against this! Seriously, any tips on how to get into this? I can't go facing players like this at the meta, what's a good soul level and rough build to start with? I'm ok at the game, just finished SL1 (no pyro) and am 2 deaths away from Deathless for reference to my skill. Sick video mate.
PvP is very different to PvE in a lot of ways. The fast swaps are helpful but not that important, I'd say these are the most important things to consider: - know where your back is and how to prevent backstabs (and punish missed attempts), thererfor you need to get a feeling for latency and think like a second ahead - know how to backstab, but not just that, also confirm your backstabs with kicks for example (to avoid whiffing, very important for big weapons) - level vit to have around 800 to 1000 HP at low levels, 1200 to 1800 at mid (SL 50 in anor londo is active and there are newer players usually), 1500 to 2000 at around SL80 to 100 and 1800 to 2400 at meta (around 130. It is totally fine if you go to 135 or even 140) - last of all, accept that backstabs are in the game and the key part to play around, and don't be afraid of losing or getting pointed down, it's just kids doing this anyway
@@MrMashroom Thanks for the comments mate. Enjoy the skiing! I'm going to mess around with some l20 > 30 > 40 etc builds and see what happens. Seems like bare minimum str/dex for weapon/s of choice, and then hard fill VIT once you work out how much END for armor
With your builds you already connect to the meta around 130 so you're good to go, you even could go a little higher. SL 80 and 50 are usually good levels for areas before oolacile township
I always stayed away from discord but I know there are some servers, can't help you with this right now tho. Some months back I made a video about backstabs and I linked all the videos that helped me im the comments there: ruclips.net/video/tKsFkV6g0tg/видео.htmlsi=ahh7esokV6TsXruC
The way you hound for backstabs is the most hilariously unfun way to play. Your parries are solid at least but not exactly top tier. The janky netcode combined with lag makes backstabs extremely easy to abuse which is why the remaster should've just disabled or revamped the backstab mechanic. Make it so players have to land a kick on the victim's back instead of just an R1. Solid video though.
@@namelessstranger1270 I mean for me it's the most fun to play around crits (backstabs and parries), and as cool as parries are, backstabs are just the more effective way to play. I can see why the opponent hates this way of playing, be it an oldschool player or a random, but if you want to get at the top, you need to know where the enemies back and your own back is in DS1 (btw I'm aware I'm not at the top and never intend to be there, I just want to play in a way I think is fun) DS3 for example never spoke to me and I even got into it before DS1, same with Elden Ring or DS2 later. Bloodborne is fun though
@@MrMashroom Again, with the janky netcode that the original DS is built on; it really doesn't matter where your back is in relation to the attacker. We've all been victims to "questionable" backstabs from multiple body lengths away. That's the norm even on the best connections. There's really no argument to be made. Backstabs are an easily abused mechanic in the original DS. Speaking as a PVPer for years and with experience in vicious backstab techniques. They're not good design; period. The hitboxes for backstabs should've been turned off in the remaster if they weren't going to do anything to improve the netcode.
@@namelessstranger1270 well if you know where your back is, you can avoid like 95% of them, just a matter of practice. And no matter how you talk about it, I think it's more fun and there are plenty of players who think in the same way, that's all that matters to me and I don't care if the latter games might be more beginner-friendly or better designed. If you really got them backstabs in ds1 down you wouldn't say that they just happen in questionable situations, netcode might be trash but you can avoid nearly all backstabs if you know what you're doing and if you get backstabbed you have made a mistake (the exception is lag but that's true for every game)
No but there are some clips in there where I fight him like around 1:30 and 6:35 iirc, I play with the profiles uncanny lenny, mrmash090 and namewithfame
Btw while I love the look of the brigand armor, I don't like the havel gloves and how big they are. I wanted that sweet 31+ poise tho to deal with curved swords/katanas
I would had loved to get more into pvp in this game but I didn’t pick it up until late. I was running into crazy good players who hard swapped to giants armor when they got backstabbed etc. I never got into those animation cancels etc. I wish I did but never had a teacher on all that shit
I never really had a teacher as well, many things just become muscle memory after enough time. I spent my first 500 hours at low to mid level PvP before even trying Meta, needless to say it was a different world. I copied many things from watching guys like harceru, spades or donkeydave and with time I used them myself
@@MrMashroom I made a quality build at like meta level. I think it was like 120-125, I haven’t loaded it up in ages. I’m tired of ER so maybe I’ll revisit it. I ran quality in ds3 for a while so I just stuck with it. Do you think that’s a good level for it or would I benefit from going higher? I’m out of state rn but I think I had like 27 str and 40+ dex
@@MrMashroom Gotcha. I might do 137 then. I looked at some of your build videos and noticed you like pretty low poise and favored light roll/flips. I guess with toggle escape the higher poise isn’t totally needed in most cases. I’ll have to mess with it I guess
@@StoicScape219 yeah I'm no master at toggling but prefer it this way. The only danger for this are curved sword spammers and good katana players, that's why I like to have more than 30 poise if possible
I invade at level 45 with all my weapons maxed, and i get many invasion in Anor Londo, usually casuals. 45 is the lowest you can invade with maxed weapons, belive me, i tried.
@@diegodacruzmesa7361 bro I have 5k hours into this game, believe me when I say I know where I can invade and with which weapon upgrades ;) since most people pick up the lightning spear in sens fortress (which connects to max SL) you can go even lower if you really want to, but only meet random players in most cases anyway outside of meta level and oolacile township, so max level weapons are overkill against these new players
It makes no sense to compare souls pvp, but ds1 pvp was and will always be puuure gold with all its beauty of glitches. Watch some old schools vids of yami or whammy to understand
I’m sorry but watching high lvl PVP of guys running around in nothing but Mother Masks and the body piece of Havel while carrying an enormous club and aiming for backstabs with a hornet ring is tooooooo funny. The pvp in this game is SO jank I can’t help but laugh at how these builds are build to abuse game mechanics. All FromSoft game’s pvp is jank but DS1 is a special kind with the backstabbing
Usually somewhere between 3 pm and 10 pm (mid european time), but that's as precise as I can get since it is different every day (when I actually get on) and sometimes I'm only on for an hour or so
As someone who lived that game and relived it with the remaster... short answer is no and long answer is also no. There are Souls-games with better PvP and more activity.
There is maybe more refined souls pvp out there but (having played all of them) there isn't anything quite as fun as good old ds1 or remastered pvp. Of course that's just my opinion, but I'm not alone with that
@@ZeroTheHeroGOAT If you think that bs fishing is one dimensional you never got into the game. There are more ways to fish and avoid/punish it than later entries have viable playstyles altogether
I didn't say fishing was one dimentional, though. I'm a very accomplished backstab fisher in ds1, 3 and ER, in fact. I said fishing is the only viable playstyle. I said it twice because I am very aware of different fishing styles and tactics. Dark Souls 3, for example, for all its flaws and failures, has by far the most engaging environment for backstab fishing. The sense of accomplishment is further enhanced by the fact that it is not the most effective PvP tactic by a longshot. You do it because you are good, because you are stylish and because you enjoy the challenge.
@@ZeroTheHeroGOAT I see, well crit fisher vids are the only ones I enjoy on ds3, I guess it's just my preference and ds1 is built around it so it's my favorite. I'll never say it's the best in any objective ranking but imo it is the most fun. Thanks for sharing your opinion here, it's hard to tell if someone just repeats stuff they here from the majority of people out there or if they actually made up their own mind on things
bought ds1 recently. was shocked by that monstrous latency compared to ds2. (they charge 40$...) I cant understand a thing and react properly, everything is teleporting, backsteps>chainstabs, r1 spam, parry doesnt work, avelyn invaders on SL25 etc. but hey, honestly its fun and stupid, maybe Im just bad at this game who knows XD.

@@StoicScape219 yeah I'm no master at toggling but prefer it this way. The only danger for this are curved sword spammers and good katana players, that's why I like to have more than 30 poise if possible
I invade at level 45 with all my weapons maxed, and i get many invasion in Anor Londo, usually casuals.
45 is the lowest you can invade with maxed weapons, belive me, i tried.
@@diegodacruzmesa7361 bro I have 5k hours into this game, believe me when I say I know where I can invade and with which weapon upgrades ;) since most people pick up the lightning spear in sens fortress (which connects to max SL) you can go even lower if you really want to, but only meet random players in most cases anyway outside of meta level and oolacile township, so max level weapons are overkill against these new players
Some of this bs baits into reverse rolls are so beautiful
Yep,just ignore all the worthless drama and hate 👌
I try to and it doesn't affect me personally anyway, but whenever I can help someone to deal with this I will
There’s always pests in the game,sadly
It makes no sense to compare souls pvp, but ds1 pvp was and will always be puuure gold with all its beauty of glitches. Watch some old schools vids of yami or whammy to understand
I’m sorry but watching high lvl PVP of guys running around in nothing but Mother Masks and the body piece of Havel while carrying an enormous club and aiming for backstabs with a hornet ring is tooooooo funny. The pvp in this game is SO jank I can’t help but laugh at how these builds are build to abuse game mechanics. All FromSoft game’s pvp is jank but DS1 is a special kind with the backstabbing
It's true what you say and it's really fun if both sides know what they are doing :)
what hours do you play
Usually somewhere between 3 pm and 10 pm (mid european time), but that's as precise as I can get since it is different every day (when I actually get on) and sometimes I'm only on for an hour or so
When you've played all the souls games over the years and you come back to bully new gen Z players 😂
SL 139 is best SL imo
As someone who lived that game and relived it with the remaster... short answer is no and long answer is also no. There are Souls-games with better PvP and more activity.
There is maybe more refined souls pvp out there but (having played all of them) there isn't anything quite as fun as good old ds1 or remastered pvp. Of course that's just my opinion, but I'm not alone with that
It's one dimentional. There's backstab fishing and then there's backstab fishing. That's the entire play.@@MrMashroom
@@ZeroTheHeroGOAT If you think that bs fishing is one dimensional you never got into the game. There are more ways to fish and avoid/punish it than later entries have viable playstyles altogether
I didn't say fishing was one dimentional, though. I'm a very accomplished backstab fisher in ds1, 3 and ER, in fact. I said fishing is the only viable playstyle. I said it twice because I am very aware of different fishing styles and tactics. Dark Souls 3, for example, for all its flaws and failures, has by far the most engaging environment for backstab fishing. The sense of accomplishment is further enhanced by the fact that it is not the most effective PvP tactic by a longshot. You do it because you are good, because you are stylish and because you enjoy the challenge.
@@ZeroTheHeroGOAT I see, well crit fisher vids are the only ones I enjoy on ds3, I guess it's just my preference and ds1 is built around it so it's my favorite. I'll never say it's the best in any objective ranking but imo it is the most fun. Thanks for sharing your opinion here, it's hard to tell if someone just repeats stuff they here from the majority of people out there or if they actually made up their own mind on things
another no lifer abusing back execution animation, sick.
Where do you get the conclusion that learning basics in a videogame = no lifer?
for the ever of evers, yea sure
The pvp in this game is horrible and you saying it works is funny to say the least, but I play it all the time lol
@@Chalega it works if you adapt to it, but it's not intuitive at all
best way to play ds1 pvp: uninstalling the game and playing ds2 pvp instead
Elden ring is leagues better than that garbage dude you're in denial
bought ds1 recently. was shocked by that monstrous latency compared to ds2. (they charge 40$...) I cant understand a thing and react properly, everything is teleporting, backsteps>chainstabs, r1 spam, parry doesnt work, avelyn invaders on SL25 etc. but hey, honestly its fun and stupid, maybe Im just bad at this game who knows XD.
P.S. should I even state that everyone use this PC duplication glitch that gives you 999 uses of a soul, 99 twinkling titanites in 2 seconds? HONESTLY, HOW DO THEY MANAGE TO SELL COMPLETELY BROKEN GAME FOR 40$ IN 2023 XDDDDDDDD. you dont even have to download the honest merchant MOD like in ds3.
@@user-pdogiP78Vit’s not for everyone and saying the game is broken is obvious not a single souls game isn’t.
no
You also have to die a trillion times to gut gud but when u git gud its rewarding🫡
It is indeed!
