I thought the darkmoon experience was making a character, starting in a cemetery area, and going through the game world fighting bosses and eventually beating the game? (Covenant doesn't work)
+Kevin Johnson (Kevinpk501) How dude? Level 20? I started this covenant around lvl 60, nobody seems to stay in the "way of the blue" covenant at this point in the game because in 10h not even one summon, and I tried various locations and all. So, wrong lvl?
lol if I needed help on this game I would summon two players then get to the boss real fast than fight in a pvp as I want to play the game before pvping
+Zucchini is an amazing hentai artist and I encourage everyone to browse his works wish it was still good. DEUS VULT is way better now and I think Heavy Gem + Buff of choice is better than Chaos.
+UltraTien Perhaps Chaos Zwei isn't the toppest of tiers anymore, but I'd imagine any player who mains that weapon in DkS3 _as a pure statement_ is worth respecting. Unless they're bad at video games, of course.
UltraTien Unless I'm using them! I can't effing hit _anything_ in PvP! I have the highest respect to anyone who is good with an UGS in Souls PvP, it is nowhere near as easy as people think.
The true darkmoon experience is waiting in a ball for 6 hours to actually get a summon! Then get molested by 4 darkswords upon spawn and begin the cycle anew.
Alberto Ramos 1. Defeat the first boss before Firelink Shrine (Iudex Gundyr) to receive the Coiled Sword (he drops this). 2. Continue past the boss area to Firelink Shrine and place the Coiled Sword in the empty fire in the center of the large room. 3. Midway between the fire you just lit and the blacksmith, there is a lady sitting down you need to talk to and buy the "White Sign Soapstone" for 500 souls (This is not the same lady as the one by the fire, who you use to level up). 4. Go back to the fire in the center of Firelink Shrine and travel to "High Wall of Lothric". 5. Go to your options menu and ensure you have the following settings. Note that the password is optional, depending if you want to match with everyone or a specific friend/group. Cross-region play: Matchmaking ON Password Matching: Summon Sign Visibility: Unrestricted Launch Setting: Play Online 6. Ensure that you can see notes on the ground around you or any bloodstains. This proves you are in fact online and will be able to invite and join. If you don't see them, restart your game (you just changed your launch setting to launch you into online mode in the previous step). 7. Ensure your friends (optional) are at the same point as you and have followed the steps above. 8. Now, decide who wants to get help (summoner / host) and who wants to join ( helper / white phantom ), following the instructions for each: Summoner You need to make sure you are "embered". If you are not, go to your inventory and use an ember. You are ember if your clothing has any red embers on it, or if you have a sign inside your upper left HUD octagon-shape-icon. After this, you simply look for your friends summoning sign in the spot they placed it. Helper You do not need to be "embered". All you need to do is write your summon sign (go to inventory and use your "White Sign Soapstone") somewhere on the ground for the host to see. Discuss this with your host and find a mutually agreed spot to place it. If you just want to help anyone and are not using password matching, generally write it next to the bonfire to get picked up fastest. 9. Now the host just needs to wait at the place where the helper placed their sign until it appears. This may take a few minutes. 10. When the sign appears, simply walk up to it and summon the player.
O yeah well i use a great axe so my first heavy attack looks like it cost all my stamina and the windup for the second heavy attack looks like im recovering
+Lincoln 007 There's some graphical bugs and the animations don't seem that fluid too. I trust they'll update and fix most of it.. Especially since they want to sell dlc
+BurgerPwner yea, i cant use cracked red eye orbs to invade, only red sign soap stone, i joined watchdogs, didnt do anything at all, and i joined blue sentinels to help people defeat invaders, never got summoned even once in like 10 houers of play, but doing arena after puntiff is fun as hell, just too many fight clubs, i want pale tungs got damn, not figting red phantoms till i die...
+The Boss of Sauce Haven't found any so far. Usually the host has a few phantoms summoned, climbs ladders and waits at the top with spells, or just get generally ganked. Nothing to do with the game, it's awesome, just some people are dicks.
lately that doesn't happen much. I've been invading in archdragon as a sunbro and 9 out of 10 invasions are ganks. The hosts must be horrible if they summon for that boss.
Something I think should be a thing, is that Darkmoons should get the Blue Eye Orb and when you use it, it summons you to the world of someone who has sinned, or it summons you into the world of someone who is being invaded. Because the more surprising thing to me was that he got summoned, not that there were 9 people in this fight.
Can someone tell me why some of you are saying Dark Sword R2 is good or even useful in PVP? It doesn't hit shit and Dark Sword R1 is braindead strong, almost Havelstoc braindead.
+Gaming Wizard Can you tell me why Dark Sword R2 is useful at all in PvP? I see no reason to R2 with that weapon like you would with a UGS or Hammer. Not even useful for Okizeme
Mepp Yeah which is why I'm all ???? at the people asking why I R2'd with Zweihander but not Dark Sword. Is there something I'm missing here? Does Dark Sword R2 have crazy stamina damage on block or something?
This is too fucking badass. Just so you know it got enough views to be suggested to me by youtube for randomly checking Dark Souls videos after finally starting to play DS1 on PC. I had Demons Souls on Launch Day. Dark Souls was sitting on Steam until patches and mod fixes. It's too damn good.
Apeacrobat01320 There's no blue eye orb either. And farming the silver knights would probably make me go insane due to the low drop chance. I'm just hoping they'll make some changes in the next update.
***** currently at anor londo pvping in the aldrich covenant with the dancer set, its incredibly get one hit with the L1 attack you will stunlock the guy for a second L1 and the hit range is huge
How was that "well put" By most people he must mean people like him than cant win without a Dark Sword or spamming sorcery. The evidence is presented in one of the first clips of the video, one handing a Zwei being super defensive to the point where he almost gets guardbroken, what the heck is the point of having hyper armor if youre going to waste it one handing and hiding behind a shield.
That was one hell of a clusterfuck R1 party. Funny to see the host's squad outnumbered for once. lol Though so many guard breaks, and not one riposte. Q.Q
Gotta be honest, in dark souls 3 during invasions i usually heal because the invader keeps healing and from wants us to heal like that so they changed how estus worked. I think it is much more enjoyable this way where duels become more strategic and funner. Altough i do not heal in any other case. I never healed in dark souls 2 and 1 pvp. At least in 1v1 s.
+taj parker Not nearly as bad as Bloodborne at least. Imo I prefer Dark Souls 2 style where damage is so high and chugging is so slow that its irrelevant.
They should make it so DM cov is also a territorial cov. like if people get invaded by AF they should be summoned in to help even if they arent in the WOTB cov. I've had my DM sign on for so long and haven't got summoned once
"Game over yeaaaaaaa!" great touch. I know how you feel right there man, except I was a red spirit invading a person who summoned as many phantoms as he could, and when one died he would replace it with another.
+Severed Head(Phones) True, I was thinking that the game broke or something, letting in 9 at once. Still I have never seen this before. pretty impressive.
+Funni Skele Its not a sin system in this game for darkmoon blades or blue sentinels. Only way to get summoned to help a host is if they have the way of blue covenant item on.
Half the people complaining about R1 spam are either stream monsters that don't own the game or people that lose constantly in invasions cause they try using some garbage shit like Dragonslayer Greataxe with Grasscrest Shield or Katanas.
+Pancotta Fugo You seem like you're projecting a bit. People talk about R1 spam because it usually means you're trash, people like that are easy to beat, but it doesn't make them any less bad for spamming it. Also, from the second half of your comment, I'm gonna assume you tried using those things but you get shit on while using them.
+Riolu I tried to invade Anor Londo but then I felt bad and BC'd away because it's too brutal of an area, after clapping to the host for getting past the archers. I should be doing that in Irithyll dungeon. That would be cruel.
+LoneWolve wait, really? I thought Darkmoons are summoned every time there's invader? Isn't it Blue Sentinels that helps those from the Way of the Blue?
it is a pretty complex system now days what you have to do to be a pvp god is either get estoc or dark sword and time each r1 perfectly after another also known as spam the shit out of that r1
Unless they're A) laggy as hell or B) you're invading and all of the summons and the host have Dark Swords. Have fun partying three-four people at once.
+CO2Tenor Try the smoldering lake at lvl 60 without ever having any weapons higher than +4. I took the covenant symbol off because constantly getting summoned was preventing me from making progress in the level. I got 30 ears within a few hours.
How to use the Dark Sword: equip ring of favor+pontiffs right eye+lloyds ring+magic clutch ring, buff (dmb/cmw), roll, r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 point down, spam dung stalks over victim.
FROM Completely killed Darkmoon Blades in Dks3. Let's make an old covenant have new standards that share with another covenant that never works, so we can have 3 useless covenants... I remember a time where Darkmoon Blades invaded the worlds of the guilty, not fight the Blue Sentinels for their job, way to ruin my favorite covenant FROM, bravo.
Who cares? Uhh, people who like the covenant? Blades of The Darkmoon was my favorite covenant in DS1, they actually had a purpose you know, invade players who committed sinful acts. Now they are literally just Blue Sentinels, they even share the same item to rank up, they killed an old covenant by making it exactly the same as another. And Mound Makers makes no sense either, they literally do the exact same thing as the Rosaria's Fingers just with a different phantom color and rewards. and like SarinCrow said, you literally get nothing for beating phantoms you summon except for a small amount of souls and the sheer enjoyment of PvP. They half assed the covenants AGAIN in this game just like they did with DS2.
+Sarincrow The silver knights actually drop The Proof of Concord item required to increase your rank in the covenant, drop rate is rare though. It's just more fun to do online.
Anyone else not able to be summoned as a blue sentinel or blade of dark moon? I've been sitting here for an hour and have nothing. I hope I'm not too high level to be summoned.
I didn't realize that the person you're saving has to be in the way of blue covenant. So pretty much unless you're level 20 it's impossible cause no one uses that covenant after vordt.
+Sage Dawson The only way to level up darkmoon is to farm the 2 anor londo knights right next to the bonfire. If you are lucky you get 1 concord every 2 hours or so.
Jesus dude, how is your R1 button not broken at this point? Seriously, how does anyone have fun constantly hitting the same button with a cheap ass sword and then blocking. How in the hell is spamming R1 aa an attack fun at all?!
Well if it's a cluster fuck like this then fuck it, sometimes I also r1 spam in invasions, because when there is 2 fuckbois trying to rape my asshole I'm not going for elegance, I'm going for the kill, and if that means r1 spamming a bit, fuck it.
If you played at 150 vs 150 its still far better...think most ohkos came from over levelling and at least the good weapons were cool not a frikkin straight sword(these in general)that trades a ugs and a homing rocket rapier. While I didn't like using magic, it wasn't redundant like now, Not being able to guard break a turtle with slow reactions and Havel shield isn't great either. Finding the damage per swing between a straight sword and GS negligible.
Ignite Blade Yeah I played 150 and it was OHKOs, 2HKOs, or stunlock city. Havelyn, Duel Drakes, GRS, there's all sorts of shenanigans, but it was great cause just about everything was viable in DaS2
ArmoredCode Well, I can only speak for myself and havent seen this sword being used much in PvP at all tbh. I am not even sure if I ever saw someone using it^^, for PvE this sword is extremely powerfull but I dont think its the best for PvP.
+ArmoredCode aweeee soooo cute :) i like listening to the bambies complain :) maybe if you sprinkle enough water on one it will grow up to GIT GUD , the darkblade isnt even that good, especially not when compared to other weapons similer that allow for a much more versatile and high damage out put with low stats
Because i didnt check the wiki till recently and my lack of paying attention I thought maybe you had to invade people to earn them (similarly to how sunbros can invade to get medals). I was in that area for maybe 2 hours and not once was i summoned. The summon rate is so little I didn't even realize thats how the covenant worked. I want the blue eye orb back....
How did you get summoned? I've been summoned twice, once into a fight club and once into the giant pit in the dungeon with the lift not active, I was stuck in there fighting rats until the host died. I wish I could just invade as a Dark Moon but unless you luck out and beat an aldrich faithful, you won't get a Moon item, just a pale tongue.
Can somebody tell me how some people get around 4 red phantoms simultaneously for fight clubs? I tried to organize one but i can only summon two with the dried fingers :(
so i realize this is a noob question but i just got to this area and i have no idea how to participate in these mass battles? If i get invaded its by one person i'm kinda confused, and the darkmoon sign never seems to summon me..
1.He got invaded, he didn't summon them. 2.Have you killed the boss yet? because if the boss of the area is dead you can only summon a max of 2 dark spirits with the dried finger, pretty stupid but it's how it works
Anybody else think it sucks how the Darkmoon covenant is basically completely useless now? Not blue eye orb, not even a tinted blue phantom when invading...
+Batwing Blizzard SPOILER ALERT Darkmoon-affiliated NPCs don't exactly receive good press either. In Dark Souls 1 they are guided by a metrosexual deity that keeps everything in check with illusions and when confornted keeps running away, in the 2nd one there isn't one and in the 3rd the the woman that gives you the Darkmoon-related gesture always needs your help to do anything. That's what you get for siding with Gwyn's family, I guess
+George Pacheco it's definitely not considering i was getting summoned left and right in dark souls 2 but dark souls 3, my blade of the darkmoon summoning has been non-existent. Not once. I can get summoned fine though as a warrior of sunlight.
They were in aldrics faithful spawn area you must be really lucky to not get attacked. When i joined the covent every minute or two i was pulled into a fight normally 1v2
I was in that swamp area and had used a dried finger, and got invaded by 2 red phantoms back to back for like 20 minutes. I couldn't leave the bonfire because everytime I killed one, another invaded. Me and my two mates fought the same guy four times in a row.
Caleb Carper I wish I had it recorded. I really do. it was epic and intense. I had a good 30,000 souls before all was said and done and I finally died.
I had a session the other day when going through NG+ with a friend when going through road of sacrifices. I get invaded by a red phantom so I go oh cool I got this no big deal. Just before he dies, not 1, not 2, but 3 watchdogs of farron invade AT THE SAME TIME. My buddy had run on to go down the ladder to the next bonfire but meanwhile here I am running for my life with 3 watchdogs chasing me. I've never been so scared in my life
Unfortunately if you have beaten the area boss you can no longer summon more than 2 red phantoms. I went to ng + and didn't kill Aldritch for this reason.
Man I would LOVE to get summoned as a blue one of these days... been wandering around with the covenant equipped for like 20 hours and nothing. Cuz mayhem like this looks like a blast!
some say he's still pressing r1 to this day...
perhaps too many SNES Starfox spins with R
My Darkmoon experience consists of action packed 0 man PVP.
Lucky, I've never invaded as a Darkmoon bitch.
+Brandon Silva 0 man pvo is referencing never getting summoned as a darkmoon
Kyle Bland I know, I was being sarcastic too :)
My Darkmoon Experience: It doesen't exist
+Funkroza you and me both....
+ISetYourFaceOnFire
Yesterday I had my first Darkmoon Experience.
Farming for 3+ hours in Anor Londo.
Funkroza
hahaha.
Funkroza
well...im going to have my first darkmoon experience after i get the gold serpent ring + 2 in ng+ 3...
ISetYourFaceOnFire
Good luck with that. It took me 3+ hours with Item Discovery at 410.
not a single strong attack was thrown that day
Amen.
He did an R2 with the zwei at the start, not that you should one hand the zweihander ever !
+Giant Dad I one hand the Zweihander bc I prefer it's thrust R2 over the two handed one
C U N T Giant Dad never one hands the zwei
Giant Dad Fuck, I just now noticed your name lmao
How the fug did this get 20k views randomly.
Misleading title, I thought it was a party of 9 in one session
+Gwopboyzprodigy not misleading, you just misunderstood
+Gwopboyzprodigy 9 man makes a better and shorter title than "6 dudes then 3 join in later"
+Gwopboyzprodigy don't think you understand what misleading is...
+UltraTien Lol true that
This is absolutely fake
He got summoned as a Darkmoon
definitely, its obviously a Photoshop job.
Def fake... Darkmoons and sentinels never get summoned
lol i was like wtf im sure that he is summoned as an aldrich XD
Fake
I didn't even get summoned as a dark moon until ng++
which is still sparse, just about as much as a watchdog
I thought the darkmoon experience was making a character, starting in a cemetery area, and going through the game world fighting bosses and eventually beating the game?
(Covenant doesn't work)
Lmao
+Souldrainr In 90 hours i was summoned only 2 times....
I get summoned all the time as a darkmoon
+Souldrainr lmao, gr8 m8 I r8 it 8/8
+Kevin Johnson (Kevinpk501) How dude? Level 20? I started this covenant around lvl 60, nobody seems to stay in the "way of the blue" covenant at this point in the game because in 10h not even one summon, and I tried various locations and all. So, wrong lvl?
Yeah the area is a nonstop of summoning and invasion, i actually like that.
lol if I needed help on this game I would summon two players then get to the boss real fast than fight in a pvp as I want to play the game before pvping
i'm gonna hate invasions then i wonder how i can keep a low profile , so i can get invaded less
+Natsu Don't be embered
ik but if i get stuck at the boss for hours or days i might want help and it be annoying if there no summons at the boss door
+Fresh 2D Toucher Buddies It's so dope because it gives you to do something besides the constant grind of brain-dead artificial intelligence
Don't fucking forget your Chaos Twohander.
+Zucchini is an amazing hentai artist and I encourage everyone to browse his works wish it was still good. DEUS VULT is way better now and I think Heavy Gem + Buff of choice is better than Chaos.
+UltraTien Perhaps Chaos Zwei isn't the toppest of tiers anymore, but I'd imagine any player who mains that weapon in DkS3 _as a pure statement_ is worth respecting. Unless they're bad at video games, of course.
SchwaWarrior
Zweihander is good overall though, all UGS are really good
UltraTien Unless I'm using them! I can't effing hit _anything_ in PvP!
I have the highest respect to anyone who is good with an UGS in Souls PvP, it is nowhere near as easy as people think.
+SchwaWarrior Well, seeing as 80-90% of players spam r1 with straighswords exclusively its pretty easy to get em with your hyper armor on swings.
The true darkmoon experience is waiting in a ball for 6 hours to actually get a summon! Then get molested by 4 darkswords upon spawn and begin the cycle anew.
I know right!!!
My dankmoon experience: trying to get summoned but it never happened.
+Kyrie Dunkelwasser 1 week ago i couldnt but now im ok
+MasterOfChiefs Soul level? I'm 35 already pushing end game in archives bit still not a single summon any advice?
Alberto Ramos I dont remember but i was 45 for sure
Alberto Ramos 1. Defeat the first boss before Firelink Shrine (Iudex Gundyr) to receive the Coiled Sword (he drops this).
2. Continue past the boss area to Firelink Shrine and place the Coiled Sword in the empty fire in the center of the large room.
3. Midway between the fire you just lit and the blacksmith, there is a lady sitting down you need to talk to and buy the "White Sign Soapstone" for 500 souls (This is not the same lady as the one by the fire, who you use to level up).
4. Go back to the fire in the center of Firelink Shrine and travel to "High Wall of Lothric".
5. Go to your options menu and ensure you have the following settings. Note that the password is optional, depending if you want to match with everyone or a specific friend/group.
Cross-region play: Matchmaking ON
Password Matching:
Summon Sign Visibility: Unrestricted
Launch Setting: Play Online
6. Ensure that you can see notes on the ground around you or any bloodstains. This proves you are in fact online and will be able to invite and join. If you don't see them, restart your game (you just changed your launch setting to launch you into online mode in the previous step).
7. Ensure your friends (optional) are at the same point as you and have followed the steps above.
8. Now, decide who wants to get help (summoner / host) and who wants to join ( helper / white phantom ), following the instructions for each:
Summoner
You need to make sure you are "embered". If you are not, go to your inventory and use an ember. You are ember if your clothing has any red embers on it, or if you have a sign inside your upper left HUD octagon-shape-icon. After this, you simply look for your friends summoning sign in the spot they placed it.
Helper
You do not need to be "embered". All you need to do is write your summon sign (go to inventory and use your "White Sign Soapstone") somewhere on the ground for the host to see. Discuss this with your host and find a mutually agreed spot to place it. If you just want to help anyone and are not using password matching, generally write it next to the bonfire to get picked up fastest.
9. Now the host just needs to wait at the place where the helper placed their sign until it appears. This may take a few minutes.
10. When the sign appears, simply walk up to it and summon the player.
+MasterOfChiefs I'm going to smack you
all pvp fights be like R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R2 R1 R1 R1 R1
Is that why my R2's always hit cause no one expects it
+Caleb Carper i would usually charge up my first r2 and miss on purpose so they can come closer to me and by then my follow up r2 is fully charged
+Marcus Delgado well i use the long sword so my R2 is more like a quick stagger then a massive damager
O yeah well i use a great axe so my first heavy attack looks like it cost all my stamina and the windup for the second heavy attack looks like im recovering
:D
gotta respect that alva build
Dark Souls 3 PVP is fucking epic.
+Nightmare Cookie GOTY. :D
+Mark A eh.. I like it but it feels unfinished honestly
+Lincoln 007 There's some graphical bugs and the animations don't seem that fluid too. I trust they'll update and fix most of it.. Especially since they want to sell dlc
blue sentinels,blade of the darkmoon,watchdogs of farron,aldrich faithful are not working for a loooooot of people. yea real nice pvp..
+BurgerPwner yea, i cant use cracked red eye orbs to invade, only red sign soap stone, i joined watchdogs, didnt do anything at all, and i joined blue sentinels to help people defeat invaders, never got summoned even once in like 10 houers of play, but doing arena after puntiff is fun as hell, just too many fight clubs, i want pale tungs got damn, not figting red phantoms till i die...
some people may hate the massive online battles, but they're dope imo. Usually if you get ganked, another red will join in.
Yes!!! I love me some honorable Pvp, but those intense battles are very fun
+The Boss of Sauce Haven't found any so far. Usually the host has a few phantoms summoned, climbs ladders and waits at the top with spells, or just get generally ganked. Nothing to do with the game, it's awesome, just some people are dicks.
As a warrior of sunlight you often get paired with another invader for jolly coop invasions
lately that doesn't happen much. I've been invading in archdragon as a sunbro and 9 out of 10 invasions are ganks. The hosts must be horrible if they summon for that boss.
+Mike Dubadub Just use the Uchigatana weapon art or the Zweihander weapon art and you spank those gankers ass.
Something I think should be a thing, is that Darkmoons should get the Blue Eye Orb and when you use it, it summons you to the world of someone who has sinned, or it summons you into the world of someone who is being invaded. Because the more surprising thing to me was that he got summoned, not that there were 9 people in this fight.
Like so people see ^^^^^^^^^^. Maybe software will see (;
ikr
I feel like the dlc will have it xD That would baffle me.
I was hoping with the darkmoons it would be like dark souls 1 and have the blue eye orb but I was sadly disappointed
-Darkmoon Guys should invade guilty player
-Sentinels should invade when a Dark Spirit invades somebody else
Fix it From NOW !
Hmm maybe this darkmoons might actually get summoned...
this a PvP battle of nubs
Ikr
Can someone tell me why some of you are saying Dark Sword R2 is good or even useful in PVP? It doesn't hit shit and Dark Sword R1 is braindead strong, almost Havelstoc braindead.
at least he's not a casul
+UltraTien Its not. Its mostly people that don't know the weapon. Same guys that think Estoc is not viable.
+Gaming Wizard Can you tell me why Dark Sword R2 is useful at all in PvP? I see no reason to R2 with that weapon like you would with a UGS or Hammer. Not even useful for Okizeme
if it's not tactically advantageous to your situation, it's warranted not to use it.
Mepp
Yeah which is why I'm all ???? at the people asking why I R2'd with Zweihander but not Dark Sword. Is there something I'm missing here? Does Dark Sword R2 have crazy stamina damage on block or something?
This is too fucking badass. Just so you know it got enough views to be suggested to me by youtube for randomly checking Dark Souls videos after finally starting to play DS1 on PC.
I had Demons Souls on Launch Day. Dark Souls was sitting on Steam until patches and mod fixes. It's too damn good.
My Darkmoon Experience: Nonexistent. Not one single summon.
same, and im fucking pissed about it
Apeacrobat01320 There's no blue eye orb either. And farming the silver knights would probably make me go insane due to the low drop chance. I'm just hoping they'll make some changes in the next update.
It's the same with all of the auto summon covenants and unless you want to get ganked by 3 sunbros the red soapstone is the only option.
Steven Schmitz And 3/4 times, the Red Soapstone will grant you a player using the Estoc.
+Looter Penguin yup or a fugs.
I'm a simple man. I see a sunbro dying to a red, I press thumbs up.
Why?
+Sans The Skeleton cuz he's a filthy red
+Sans The Skeleton Cause Sunbros are usually ganking scum.
+Miles colinson you're a filthy ganker
yes. reds unite
It's insane. So beautiful.
So many easy parries ;-;
My Darkmoon experience is slightly different. Whereas I sit in an area for over an hour and don't get summoned.
same for me
+Bowser1027 im level 17 with darkmoon, no summon, same for blues
***** im wielding level 4 boss weapon soon 5
***** currently at anor londo pvping in the aldrich covenant with the dancer set, its incredibly get one hit with the L1 attack you will stunlock the guy for a second L1 and the hit range is huge
***** only problem is the weapon art like wtf not only is it easily dodged but the damage?
Do you even have an R2 button on your controller?
+kemusabi Nah yours and mine, and most people don't have one when playing 3.
+UltraTien Well put.
How was that "well put" By most people he must mean people like him than cant win without a Dark Sword or spamming sorcery. The evidence is presented in one of the first clips of the video, one handing a Zwei being super defensive to the point where he almost gets guardbroken, what the heck is the point of having hyper armor if youre going to waste it one handing and hiding behind a shield.
You tried man, you tried. Good fight, and new sub
the fantasy tavern brawl simulator I've been waiting all my life for
That was one hell of a clusterfuck R1 party. Funny to see the host's squad outnumbered for once. lol
Though so many guard breaks, and not one riposte. Q.Q
+Neenjah Rammus How to know if someone is new to dark souls : Straight sword and shield + spam R1
+vialgyy Not in 3. Straight Sword R1 is the meta
Seek Flames Thats why im saying that, being bad is the meta :)
You actually got summoned as a darkmoon blade? Wow
+VC12x And the host wasn't dying straight infront of him when he spawned.
I didn't know getting summoned as a darkmoon was rare it happens to me all the time while I'm playing
Kevin Johnson
Farmed Ears in anor londo for a good 3-4 hours yesterday, no invasions. At all.
+Kevin Johnson (Kevinpk501) Might also be a sort of reference to how broken Darkmoon Blade was in Dark Souls 1.
Can't wait for someone to do a Civil War version
It was fun to watch, thank you, good blade of the darkmoon.
What level were you? For some reason I never get summoned as a Blue Sentinel/Darkmoon Blade :c
+TheValiantBob SL63, +6 Upgrade
+UltraTien Jesus dude, you've played it a lot
+UltraTien do you have ps4?? I wanna play games with you
TheHobbyistHub
Yeah I'm on PS4
I've never been summoned as a Blue, ever, can someone tell me what's wrong?
+ARCTC SALAMANDER And yet whenever we invade someone a blue summon is always there to fuck it up...
Barely anyone is in ur covenant m8
+ELEMENTIUM Nope, barely anyone is in the way of blue and there are a lot of ppl who are in blue sentinels. Thats the problem.
AYY
+AngelSlayerJaxson or even better the host for whatever reason sits and watches you fight for them
What a skirmish!
Battles like this are so awesome in this game!
They say that all theses players are still chugging Estus today
Gotta be honest, in dark souls 3 during invasions i usually heal because the invader keeps healing and from wants us to heal like that so they changed how estus worked. I think it is much more enjoyable this way where duels become more strategic and funner. Altough i do not heal in any other case. I never healed in dark souls 2 and 1 pvp. At least in 1v1 s.
Darksouls 3 pvp is fast so i think it is ok to heal this time around
+Mert Erten I only heal if the other person does, I much rather prefer no estus
+Mert Erten you only heal if the other person does first or in a gank situation
+taj parker Not nearly as bad as Bloodborne at least. Imo I prefer Dark Souls 2 style where damage is so high and chugging is so slow that its irrelevant.
Expected: 9 player gank spank.
Received: 9 players tapping R1 like a clitoris.
They should make it so DM cov is also a territorial cov. like if people get invaded by AF they should be summoned in to help even if they arent in the WOTB cov. I've had my DM sign on for so long and haven't got summoned once
+xXToxicJesterXx I got summoned and ended up babysitting the host to the boss fog.
"Game over yeaaaaaaa!" great touch. I know how you feel right there man, except I was a red spirit invading a person who summoned as many phantoms as he could, and when one died he would replace it with another.
that wasn't really 9 player pvp. it was more like 3 on 3 then another 3 on 3
+Severed Head(Phones) True, I was thinking that the game broke or something, letting in 9 at once. Still I have never seen this before. pretty impressive.
Alright everyone, I want you to open a tab in your internet browser (if you're on PC) and play the Sir.Alonne remix while watching this.
I think nobody gets summoned as darkmoon because red invaders just get ganked and don't gain sin from losing
+Funni Skele Its not a sin system in this game for darkmoon blades or blue sentinels. Only way to get summoned to help a host is if they have the way of blue covenant item on.
that looked pretty intense. must've been great fun
Half the people complaining about R1 spam are either stream monsters that don't own the game or people that lose constantly in invasions cause they try using some garbage shit like Dragonslayer Greataxe with Grasscrest Shield or Katanas.
+Pancotta Fugo R1 spam= parry bait, just block 2 hits and parry the third
+Pancotta Fugo You seem like you're projecting a bit. People talk about R1 spam because it usually means you're trash, people like that are easy to beat, but it doesn't make them any less bad for spamming it. Also, from the second half of your comment, I'm gonna assume you tried using those things but you get shit on while using them.
+Per Skålvik like I said thats super flow charty. Never seen that work on anyone.
+mark james Dragon Greataxe isnt good PvP wise but its a common build. Easily this games version of Ludwigs PvP builds.
UltraTien works everytime for me
This is chaos I friggin love it!
i feel sorry for that host ... a backwards gank spank
+Riolu I tried to invade Anor Londo but then I felt bad and BC'd away because it's too brutal of an area, after clapping to the host for getting past the archers.
I should be doing that in Irithyll dungeon. That would be cruel.
+Leonardo Rossi Camp the giants door so if they drop down they cant escape. Sounds awful
agargfe ffergas More than that, I was thinking about using chameleon and waiting besides one of those screaming corpses.
THAT's evil
+Leonardo Rossi That's absolutely terrible. Be sure to record it if you do it.
Rest in peace, host of embers.
darkmoon covenant is broken
+Batwing Blizzard They only will be summoned to assist people in the Way of the Blue. (and nobody uses that covenant late game)
+LoneWolve wait, really? I thought Darkmoons are summoned every time there's invader? Isn't it Blue Sentinels that helps those from the Way of the Blue?
The desc. of it says that they are summoned to help members of the Way of the Blue.
Darkmoon is meant for people who sin and whst not. Blue sentinals are the ones helping way of blue
How? As in OP?
Colourful Souls 3: The Colouring
All I can see is everyone spamming the R1 button. It seems like pvp improved a lot since DkS 2.
it is a pretty complex system now days what you have to do to be a pvp god is either get estoc or dark sword and time each r1 perfectly after another also known as spam the shit out of that r1
EZ parry EZ winner
That's why people play hornet ring :)
Unless they're A) laggy as hell or B) you're invading and all of the summons and the host have Dark Swords. Have fun partying three-four people at once.
Parrying*
I'm lvl 180 now, i'm still getting invade a few times per hour but i never got to with this darkmoon shit
Because Pvp meta is 100 to 120 bruh. Wtf you doing at 180 if your not trying to go Ng+7
Reaper Phenmenom lol meta is only for red sign i'll do another profil for that, just saying that even at 180 i'm still getting invading a lot
40 Hours Darkmoon, never been summoned..
+CO2Tenor Try 103 hours. 0 summons.
+Souldrainr I Feel you, mate..
+Souldrainr Pfff try a lifetime -7299 summons
+CO2Tenor Try the smoldering lake at lvl 60 without ever having any weapons higher than +4. I took the covenant symbol off because constantly getting summoned was preventing me from making progress in the level. I got 30 ears within a few hours.
How to use the Dark Sword:
equip ring of favor+pontiffs right eye+lloyds ring+magic clutch ring, buff (dmb/cmw), roll, r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 point down, spam dung stalks over victim.
R1 the video.
It's rare to ever actually get an invasion with the DarkMoons in my experience.
FROM Completely killed Darkmoon Blades in Dks3. Let's make an old covenant have new standards that share with another covenant that never works, so we can have 3 useless covenants... I remember a time where Darkmoon Blades invaded the worlds of the guilty, not fight the Blue Sentinels for their job, way to ruin my favorite covenant FROM, bravo.
+Dementhis Pff, who cares about blues anyway? GrapeBros is the way to go now. Maximum chaos included.
Who cares? Uhh, people who like the covenant? Blades of The Darkmoon was my favorite covenant in DS1, they actually had a purpose you know, invade players who committed sinful acts. Now they are literally just Blue Sentinels, they even share the same item to rank up, they killed an old covenant by making it exactly the same as another. And Mound Makers makes no sense either, they literally do the exact same thing as the Rosaria's Fingers just with a different phantom color and rewards. and like SarinCrow said, you literally get nothing for beating phantoms you summon except for a small amount of souls and the sheer enjoyment of PvP. They half assed the covenants AGAIN in this game just like they did with DS2.
+Sarincrow or if you don't want to be invaded by a player and still want the npcs then play in offline mode for that like I tend to do
+Sarincrow First you complain about lack of invasion but then you complain about too much invasion???like wtf which one is it?
+Sarincrow The silver knights actually drop The Proof of Concord item required to increase your rank in the covenant, drop rate is rare though. It's just more fun to do online.
Anyone else not able to be summoned as a blue sentinel or blade of dark moon? I've been sitting here for an hour and have nothing. I hope I'm not too high level to be summoned.
I did hear that some covenants had buggy summoning where it was really difficult to get summoned at all. farron watchdogs is one I believe...
I didn't realize that the person you're saving has to be in the way of blue covenant. So pretty much unless you're level 20 it's impossible cause no one uses that covenant after vordt.
+Sage Dawson not necessarily, had a player up to the abyss watchers who called upon the blue sentinels.
+Sage Dawson The only way to level up darkmoon is to farm the 2 anor londo knights right next to the bonfire. If you are lucky you get 1 concord every 2 hours or so.
+Souldrainr On the character in this video I maxed out Darkmoon and all Covenants but Mound Makers through only PvP.
Jesus dude, how is your R1 button not broken at this point? Seriously, how does anyone have fun constantly hitting the same button with a cheap ass sword and then blocking.
How in the hell is spamming R1 aa an attack fun at all?!
+DannyFoxxy don't forget the buffs.....NEVER forget the buffs
omggg u r so hardcore, u r a number 1 souls fan *curl up gesture*
Well if it's a cluster fuck like this then fuck it, sometimes I also r1 spam in invasions, because when there is 2 fuckbois trying to rape my asshole I'm not going for elegance, I'm going for the kill, and if that means r1 spamming a bit, fuck it.
+DannyFoxxy Have you ever done a serious PvP match? First of most r2 attacks are horrible. second off if you hate r1 spam then learn to parry bitch.
@@yawyeet7101 Can't agree more with the parry part, but still, R2s are great only if you know how to use them
Some of the best footage I've seen on DS III!!!!
So many bluebro police on the scene, we invaders don't like >:d
+Sauce Squad FUG DA POLYCE
Hahaha I love em. They die very easily. 3v1's are so much fun. So satisfying killing everyone.
+Sauce Squad I rarely ever see blues when I invade and most of them can't handle forward + R1 tap.
+Sauce Squad I rarely ever see blues when I invade and most of them can't handle forward + R1 tap.
+UltraTien Dark Sword ftw
MY darkmoon experience: spawn and see the host die because loading times
dark sword estoc Havel shield meta is lame af atm, the cheese stuff from ds2 was far more bearable if there wasn't soul memory.
DaS2 cheese is OHKO stuff lol
If you played at 150 vs 150 its still far better...think most ohkos came from over levelling and at least the good weapons were cool not a frikkin straight sword(these in general)that trades a ugs and a homing rocket rapier. While I didn't like using magic, it wasn't redundant like now, Not being able to guard break a turtle with slow reactions and Havel shield isn't great either.
Finding the damage per swing between a straight sword and GS negligible.
Ignite Blade
Yeah I played 150 and it was OHKOs, 2HKOs, or stunlock city. Havelyn, Duel Drakes, GRS, there's all sorts of shenanigans, but it was great cause just about everything was viable in DaS2
+UltraTien They patched a lot of that, you're remembering 2014 ds2.
Charlie Chuckles
More than aware it was patched dude, it doesn't change that there was a large period of time where that was the meta
I love these chaotic battles
Meh u would use the dark sword.
+ArmoredCode whats wrong about that
+RedEyed XaXa The fact that everyone spams it making PvP dull.
ArmoredCode Well, I can only speak for myself and havent seen this sword being used much in PvP at all tbh. I am not even sure if I ever saw someone using it^^, for PvE this sword is extremely powerfull but I dont think its the best for PvP.
+ArmoredCode It wasn't a thing back then bruh, but yeah right to the cheap shit as per usual. Switched it up to Estoc on one of my main builds.
+ArmoredCode aweeee soooo cute :) i like listening to the bambies complain :) maybe if you sprinkle enough water on one it will grow up to GIT GUD , the darkblade isnt even that good, especially not when compared to other weapons similer that allow for a much more versatile and high damage out put with low stats
Because i didnt check the wiki till recently and my lack of paying attention I thought maybe you had to invade people to earn them (similarly to how sunbros can invade to get medals). I was in that area for maybe 2 hours and not once was i summoned. The summon rate is so little I didn't even realize thats how the covenant worked. I want the blue eye orb back....
Juicy Chad You wait for an aldrichs faithful to invade a way of blue member
+Juicy Chad Yes. Thats why it takes forever
God dammit to use an r2 you need to open it in supply drops. FUCK
Anyways, with this, people can have all out fights.
+Neon DemonBlade What did he mean by this?
+UltraTien it is a mystery
+UltraTien he means don't press R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1
SwagSwag69
ya'll clearly haven't seen the meta for some of these weapons
Congrats on being summoned as the fun police.
Also I liked how you saw how many people there were and panicked switch to Dark Sword as a safety bubble. Fuck this.
+John Kramer ikr
Looks like the good guys won this time around.
How did you get summoned? I've been summoned twice, once into a fight club and once into the giant pit in the dungeon with the lift not active, I was stuck in there fighting rats until the host died.
I wish I could just invade as a Dark Moon but unless you luck out and beat an aldrich faithful, you won't get a Moon item, just a pale tongue.
Do not forget the beatiful R1 fury smashing!
thank you for the video, based Spoderman.
Can somebody tell me how some people get around 4 red phantoms simultaneously for fight clubs? I tried to organize one but i can only summon two with the dried fingers :(
+Adros think you need to get invaded by 2
Man i wish i could actuallly be summoned in the blade of the darkmoon covenant it never works for me
that sucks it works all the time for me
Kevin Johnson Really? What console would you be on I'm on xbox.
so i realize this is a noob question but i just got to this area and i have no idea how to participate in these mass battles? If i get invaded its by one person i'm kinda confused, and the darkmoon sign never seems to summon me..
How did you summer all the dark spirts because when I try to I can only do two with dried finger
1.He got invaded, he didn't summon them. 2.Have you killed the boss yet? because if the boss of the area is dead you can only summon a max of 2 dark spirits with the dried finger, pretty stupid but it's how it works
+MOON_ #DANKSKOPER oh ok thanks and yes I did beat the boss
i have been a darkmoon from lvl 50-125 and i was summoned ONE TIME only for there to be a fucking connection error. havnt gotten summoned since.
exact same as me, got to an area was about to kill a phantom then connection error, Seeing videos like these makes me sad
[Drying of fingers intensifies]
+Sandy Tentaclez [R1 finger begins to crack]
+TheHobbyistHub [B button finger begins to cramp]
That Bass Cannon though.
Anybody else think it sucks how the Darkmoon covenant is basically completely useless now? Not blue eye orb, not even a tinted blue phantom when invading...
+Dominic Cingoranelli 30h of playing in Darkmoon covenant, no summoning. I'll probably never get the darkmoon blade.
+Dominic Cingoranelli Hopefully, we'll get the Blue Eye Orb in a patch or something. Maybe DLC.
As a darkomoon blade i cant find even 1 person to invade/help
yeah its broken like it has been on the previous 2 dark souls games. not surprised
+Batwing Blizzard
SPOILER ALERT
Darkmoon-affiliated NPCs don't exactly receive good press either. In Dark Souls 1 they are guided by a metrosexual deity that keeps everything in check with illusions and when confornted keeps running away, in the 2nd one there isn't one and in the 3rd the the woman that gives you the Darkmoon-related gesture always needs your help to do anything.
That's what you get for siding with Gwyn's family, I guess
and im just sitting here getting the unable to summon , unable to invade messages since day 1
That's your connection lol
Not really, since I could do pvp in bloodborne
+George Pacheco it's definitely not considering i was getting summoned left and right in dark souls 2 but dark souls 3, my blade of the darkmoon summoning has been non-existent. Not once. I can get summoned fine though as a warrior of sunlight.
Definitely your connection.
Patrick Machen
No, it's not. For the reasons I've stated above. Just because it's fine for some people, doesn't mean it's fine for others.
this host was so unlucky like seriously I'm lucky to see another player let alone 9
They were in aldrics faithful spawn area you must be really lucky to not get attacked. When i joined the covent every minute or two i was pulled into a fight normally 1v2
That poor host soon was ganked like fucking crazy
Captain America Civil War is looking great
Maaan, I wish I could see a _quarter_ of this much action in darkmoon...
:C
isn't there like 4 Darkmoon covenant sigils that you can use like never get called by any of them, its just there...
Damn. This looks like so much fun xD
I was in that swamp area and had used a dried finger, and got invaded by 2 red phantoms back to back for like 20 minutes. I couldn't leave the bonfire because everytime I killed one, another invaded.
Me and my two mates fought the same guy four times in a row.
Make that into a movie and call it "Phantom Tamers Last Stand"
Caleb Carper
I wish I had it recorded. I really do. it was epic and intense. I had a good 30,000 souls before all was said and done and I finally died.
Whenever I invade and darkmoon gets summoned they are always afk..like what's point, did they die waiting to be summoned.
Meanwhile my Darkmoon/Blue Senitnel experience: Thats right. Nothing. Although once I was summoned -> unable to join session
I thought the dark moon experience was just waiting to be summoned.
They really need to get the Darkmoon Covenant back and running again
I had a session the other day when going through NG+ with a friend when going through road of sacrifices. I get invaded by a red phantom so I go oh cool I got this no big deal. Just before he dies, not 1, not 2, but 3 watchdogs of farron invade AT THE SAME TIME. My buddy had run on to go down the ladder to the next bonfire but meanwhile here I am running for my life with 3 watchdogs chasing me. I've never been so scared in my life
getting ganked while invading makes you angry. but getting ganked BY invaders........
What's the two things that fly out of your spawn point? Never seen it before
Just saying, I'm at sl 151 on ng+2, and I get summoned as a darkmoon all the time now.
Hey, I have a question: how do people *summon* more than 2 Dark Spirits? I can only summon 2, after using Dried Fingers. Am I missing something?
Unfortunately if you have beaten the area boss you can no longer summon more than 2 red phantoms. I went to ng + and didn't kill Aldritch for this reason.
Spencer Mars Alrighty. Thanks for the quick response.
No problem.
Man I would LOVE to get summoned as a blue one of these days... been wandering around with the covenant equipped for like 20 hours and nothing. Cuz mayhem like this looks like a blast!
I have 50 hours in as a Dark Moon, not ONCE have I been summoned through concord. It's so freaking dumb. They NEED blue eyed orbs back.
They at least gave a chance.
that shit never happens to me. it's probably cuz I'm always a little bit higher in level than most people. no idea what the meta is
You should try in Anor Londo
