I've heard some really bad things about PVP for demon's souls. Like people (ab)using that magic field for the lag, and (ab)using soulsucker and just drain people of their levels. (like knocking someone down with a weapon, and then using soulsucker on them before they can get up and roll away)
Some dicktard was bragging on a different forum about stealing 25 levels in one day of play.
Bogus.
I love the online, just wish I had decent access to it. Yeah, there are some dicks, but you find that everywhere, and it makes for good stories. Lag is there, the servers aren't exactly top rate, I'll give you that. the MHTri servers kinda sucked too, so it's not that uncommon. I'd bitch about the Demon's Souls servers a little, but I don't think it ruined the experience. So yeah, there are some issues, but god damn is it fun! Story time!
I was running around 1-4 in full Binded armor with the Meat Cleaver and invaded this guy. I finally find him and my anus clenches. Full brushwood armor with Dragon Bone Smasher in one hand and Meat Cleaver in the other. Shit. "It's okay," I think, "that's a lot of weight, he probably can't roll for shit." Nope. I take a swing and he rolls like a nudist. "Shitshitshitshitshit." So I take it cautiously, we exchange swings and dodges. One of us will get hit and heal, then we go back to the cycle. It was just a matter of who would fuck up first, and I lost that game. Good lord was it epic though.
I was running through 4-1 in body form, hoping someone would invade me, when my desires were fulfilled. I don't see him for a while, but he finally shows up, runs right fucking past me and vanishes thanks to his rings. I go back to fighting skeletons and a couple moments later he runs past again. He doesn't attack me, just runs past. This time I try to take a swing at him, but he goes by fast and I catch dust. The next time I time it better and come close, he dodges and continues past. Again he swings by, but this time takes a swing at me, I dodge. This goes on a couple times until finally I fuck up and roll off the edge. Drive by invasion. I'm sure laughs were had on both sides of the internet.
One of my favorite pastimes has been being the boss in 3-3, always a good time. On my first character I got ridiculously lucky and got a Guillotine Axe my first time through 1-1, so I took some pleasure showing up in the boss fight wearing Miralda's armor and dual wielding Guillotine Axes. Intimidating as fuck. There was one time in particular where I think this tactic worked. The guy comes in with a Meat Cleaver, sees me, shits his pants, and pulls out a tower shield to hide behind. We run around each other a bit, he blocks most of my attacks, takes a swing and I dodge. This repeats a few times until he hits me. At this point I see that he does not have the strength to be one handing a Meat Cleaver. The damage is pathetic. I decide to show him how it's done. I pull out my Meat Cleaver, two hand it, knock him down, and quickly dispatch of him.
There is one instance where lag screwed me over that sticks in my memory. I invade this guy and he sends me a PSN PM saying "plz leave". My friends and I laugh and continue looking for him. Suddenly our connection drops. We're a bit irked by this, then we see a second PM: "thnx". We rage. We didn't disconnect to let him be, we wanted to kill his ass!
