No still some activity at random levels, especially now with "back to lordran"

Sorry for the bad english

Just play offline then

@@neosphere97 I mean you're right, but that's part of the thrill I think. You'll also meet invaders who just wanna try some Pvp, at least at lower levels. Your english is fine btw (at least for someone like me who's also not speaking english as his first language)

@@seigmyrethegamer4584 Some people play with a friend for the first time, so its not possible. Futhermore I really love to get invaded when i am playing, since the begining of my experience with the souls games. If the invader is not a twink and doesnt have a build that will kill you in 1 hit, i fight to the death, and its awesome! Otherwise, i usually quit.

@@MrMashroom I agree with you, that's part of the thrill. Nowadays i consider myself an experienced player and i do like to invade others. What i usually do is trying to "balancing" the fights, invading with a "not so good" build, with equipments i can accquire until that area. The fights are usually fun and challenging for both sides, even better if its 1v2. i dont wana tell wich way is better than other, everyone plays the way they find most fun!

There are a lot of things I could improve actually :) but yeah when everything works as planned it sure looks like I mastered it 😅

I have clips of me looking like a pro but mostly I get destroyed in Township😅

​​@@glartonscotch480you improved a lot tho from what I can tell, some close fights like a week ago and you beat me as well

@@MrMashroomsomedays I play better than others lol. What's your psn never know when I fight you

@@glartonscotch480 it's uncanny lenny or namewithfame, and yes I also play like shit on some days just to be on a roll on others :)

true words, every now and then I just want to fight some of them while watching a movie on the side or something xD

The did do something wrong

@@Stinkymoe yeah disconnecting isn't good if you're speaking about that, but on the other hand they hardly know what they are doing so I don't blame them - oh and blocking: nothing to do about that sadly, maybe I meet them with another account in the future

@@llivistuff kinda boring tbh. I played a lot with the shotel in my early years of PvP and I don't want to main curved swords ever since. Katanas are more fun but str/quality is what I enjoy the most. I'm aware of the potential of "dex weapons", but I wouldn't get the same satisfaction out of them

@@fabianfeuz3238 bei so niedrigen Levels plane ich nicht viel, ich glaub dass ich grade mal genug in Stärke und Dex investiert habe um das Claymore schwingen zu können und den Rest hab ich einfach in Vit und Endurance gegeben :)

@TryingSoft don't kill the Boss or gravelording is impossible. Something between fire +0 and +8 should be perfectly fine for more than 90 percent of the players there, I even had decent activity with chaos +0 in parish.

​@@MrMashroom alright. I was thinking that I probably shouldn't kill the boss to get some reds aswell. I already have one build in burg, but it isn't that optimized and the players there weren't a challenge at all, so I want to increase the challenge a bit. Also what soul level should I be to get SL≈15+ players to invade? I was thinking about like 20-30, but I'm not really sure. I'll probably go with the chaos +0, so I won't be absoultely swarmed by 5 phantoms right away. Thanks for the answer I appreciate it.

@TryingSoft if you go for Chaos you can also go to like sl30, still lots of activity. I gravelorded a lot there with chaos/sl33 and it always had a decent amount of people, at least back then

@@MrMashroom Thank you, this helps a lot. I think I have the build planned now. SL32 and swapping between Garg halberd and Claymore.

😂 it's a great way to not die easily for sure

Dont know tbh 😅

Bro I take my breaks all the time just to come back and immediatly be thrilled to play again :)

You're right now that I think about it, it's rarely a build if you can just level basic stats like vit and end and don't have to think about str/dex too much.

Do you not know how to mute volume or something?

@@glartonscotch480 My bad dude. I had this crazy idea that audio and soundtracks were like half the experience of watching a video and playing a game.

that's fine, what would be a fitting soundtrack in your eyes?

@@MrMashroom Don't know what would fit best because I'm not watching the whole vid. But probably something less hip hop and more metal or instrumental. Music with lyrics don't really make sense in vids where your not really trying to listen to the them.

@joshuaherrera358 ok, well it's just a matter of opinion anyway and I prefer hip hop, phonk and dnb in montages

With that much vitality he doesn't have much points to put into strength/dex, chaos weapons only need humanity for scaling meaning its ideal for his build, but with more damage leveling it would be outclassed by normal/crystal.

Like said, it's just a way to avoid putting too much points into strength and dex. The standard/crystal path is still better if you put levels in there

still the easiest method to get some poise with no drawbacks :)

@@MrMashroom 100% 🫡

Well I still like it, but yeah maybe I'll enjoy the heck out of it again in 2 months, who knowa :). The stigma comes from japanese players primarily (as far as I can tell), most of them don't like it. I don't mind it if it's not overused and try to avoid it completely myself, just something I got used to while playing with japanese players. In their mind it's a cheap way to get the backstab when it's more fun to get the timing without parry down.

@@MrMashroom Fingers crossed, but either way thank you for the Ds1 content so far, it's been great! I was not aware there was such stigma among the Japanese playerbase, that does make some sense, given that parry backstabs are essentially a remedy to poor timing. Thank you for telling me, I had been wondering as I had seen that in a few other places and wasn't sure where it was coming from.

Avelyn is just so slow and punishable, yet so much fun - I rarely used it myself tbh, but I've seen players using it with some success

@@MrMashroom Tell me about it! I think a lightning Avelyn + lightning bolts is the best ranged estus punish you can get without magic, and landing all 3 shots is an amazing feeling... until the opponent stops playing around and starts stabbing. Still, I actually took a player much better than me off-guard and killed them for the first time ever by suddenly pulling out the avelyn, as they tried to prediction parry me (which they had done with alarming regularity in the fights preceding this one).

Yeah but as far as I remember you could make a video yourself with clips where you killed me ;)

@MrMashroom I don't know what your psid is

It is indeed :) many don't get this tho

ggs man, I had a good time in Oolacile :)

I honestly can't believe that 1000 subs look possible now, I thought like 100 would be the max with these Dark Souls videos

@@AERoVALKYRiE rapier builds are boring

@ I have a blast turtling with rapier, it’s very obnoxious for my opponents 😂

@@AERoVALKYRiE yeah it can be in good hands, I used it for 2 years to learn fishing that's why I try to avoid it nowadays. I also like running/jumping attacks with bigger weapons like Zwei, despite how stupid and predictable they are

@@vince_9643 I'm glad to hear that these videos actually help someone 😊

@@chaotischdurchgedreht naja ich weiß ja nicht, irgendwie hab ich das Gefühl dass ich wieder schlechter werde 😅 vor allem was toggles und menuing betrifft

ps

@@Ruenkiller if you just look for activity I'd recommend low levels around sl 10 to 20 at the starter areas or sl 50 for anor londo. If you want some activity and good players you should go to sl 120-133 (for invasions) and try oolacile township, you'll meet the same 10 to 15 guys there but they usually know what they are doing

I usually prefer dual ring builds with around 1800 Hp but I can't deny the benefits of being an nearly unkillable beast :)

Viel Spaß in Salzburg. Wie heißt denn deine psn id? Weil du tötest mich in der clip aber ich wusste nie wer du bist.

Mit diesem build uncanny lanny 😊 bin eigentlich aus nö, aber grade schifahren

@@MrMashroom dann hast du mir eh mal geschrieben

@@MrMashroom bin auch aus Niederösterreich

@@MrMashroom wieso blockierst du mich auf psn ? Du killst die Aktivität hier

@@Emeraude- you mean there are no people to fight or you don't know how to access pvp fights? The game can be very dead nowadays

@@MrMashroom I don't know how to access..And I'm surprised it died given the number of views this great title used to generate on ytb

@@Senziko good to hear from you, I hardly ever play nowadays, but I have some clips left from a kinda new build, maybe I get around to play more soon :)

Gotta get to that 130SL somehow

@@Nyan4Eon sounds good, but I rarely use it, I just can't bring myself to kill the giant blacksmith 😅

@@TheOhH3NRY it's still a ton of fun, but I hardly ever play. Some folks at township are still around on a regular basis tho
