Dark Souls: Prepare To Die [IT'S OUT!]

[Muffinmix]

PVP Etiquette
(How Not To Be A cigarette)
With the new PC community that is going to be introduced to this franchise, I want to talk about how to have honorable PVP and duels in Dark Souls.

No Ganking: Two versus one or three versus one just isn't fair. If you're co-oping and you get invaded, let your phantoms take turns against the invader and allow him to heal between intermissions if he so chooses to.
No Healing: It's really stupid, nothing is more annoying than when you almost kill someone and they roll away and chug their estus. That goes towards invaders with their humanity too goddamnit! >:V
No Backstab Fishing: Backstabs are a great strategy to winning a fight and should be used as such. However, they are really laggy looking and can be cheap as balls if you just chain stab someone. Don't do it.
Mob Luring: If you invade then don't use mobs to assist you. If they're ganking you though, go straight ahead.
Miracle Users: God's Wrath... Just don't, please don't.
Bowing: Bow towards your invader or your invade before you fight, honorable duels should be introduced as such.[/center]

No thanks.

My PVP etiquette: WIN AT ALL COSTS, and I expect no less from everyone else, I'll run up and nail you in the face while you're wasting time bowing I don't play around I'm in it to win it!

[Bloody Mary]

I've never played dark souls so maybe I'm missing something, but why would there even be PVP etiquette? I thought all invaders were anonymous.

They are and they are invading for the sole purpose of killing you, so I don't see why you should give them any courtesy I mean they are only there to kill you.

Choice of etiquette should be decided by the invader.

If the host bows first he's a moron, but if the host attacks a bowing invader he's a richard.

Just my opinion.

Whoa. It was listed for $69.95 yesterday. It was either a mistake, or people were complaining.

Correction: It's $69.95 in Australia. My region was set to AU For some reason.

The "?cc=au" was just added by me to link to the Australian Steam.

I'm actually extremely surprised this game isn't banned in Australia.

why? what about it is on the level of something like manhunt?

[Hiiro326]

I wish people would discuss the game here instead of speculate on how the game will be on PC.

I want to read stories and discuss builds guys, I left my PS3 copy in California and I'm in Arizona for another week, I have 2 days until I get Prepare to Die on PC, but until then I'm bored as stuff.

Best way I can respond to this is with THIS.

If the host bows first he's a moron, but if the host attacks a bowing invader he's a richard.

Just my opinion.

Either way, it's just considerate to follow pvp etiquette and it makes it much more challenging.

EDIT: I also pre-ordered Dark Souls a few days ago.

[Hiiro326]

[Hiiro326]

It's released on the 24th in France/Spain.

It was listed as the 23rd last time I looked, so it has been pushed back a day
