Level 125 PvP Invasions | Lords of the Fallen

[@AZAELinvaded]

It's such a shame that the online is so bad right now. This game has the potential to have some bonkers pvp.

[@pedroj3432]

Yeah man, its genuinely such a shame. I truly just want it to have a solid connection so i can enjoy my invasions 100% of the time and not just 50% lmao 😅

[@primeerebus253]

The big issue is you can connect to anyone and everyone. You could be in the backwoods of Iowa connecting to some hermit with dial up internet in China. So the host if they have terrible internet is always at an advantage

[@metilen22]

Even with a few hiccups, you can tell the company's really busting their chops to get this game up and running. It's their big-time debut in the AAA world, and they've gone all-in, banking heavily on credit. Switching from UE4 to UE5 might've added to the mess, but you can see they're putting their heart into it. They'd probably push the release date if they could. Personally, I'm loving the game and I hope they keep growing because things look promising!

[@rgdgfd2281]

I mean it problem of all souls games

[@CsStrez]

@@rgdgfd2281 Average invasion connection here is far worse than the shittiest Elden Ring invasion.

[@soulofcinder2007]

My fav part of the PvP is how I get sucked into my opponents attacks

[@D00M3R-SK8]

Love this game, dude. I got that DKS feeling back. It really feels like being back in the first DKS, but just with it being brought up to 2023 in terms of graphics and stuff. Absolutely loving it. I had to put lies of P down, to play this instead. I still have armoured core to play as well.

[@HaloinfiniteEternal]

it really is an incredible game that’s super worthy of high review scores and if the devs could just fix the performance issues this game is gonna be remembered forever as an instant classic

[@i3ifqgml]

The online performance is so much better today. The game is now very decent, along with the best NG+ I have ever seen.

[@fluffywuffyable]

If they can just fix the connection and balance the spell damage on players the games pvp would be great

[@gerbmcderb8048]

Unfortunately it's very unlikely, not without a serious back-end overhaul of the engine. Unreal 5 doesn't support the infrastructure of an online game like this. It's pretty likely they don't intend to fix it and if they did it would take a very long time and be very costly. It's a shame, but yeah, they lied to everyone saying the co-op would be functional knowing full well it wasnt.

[@i3ifqgml]

​@gerbmcderb8048 I thought so as well but checking it out today it seems the madmen at Hexworks managed to fix it! Couldn't believe it when I tried myself. Coop is a dream!

[@mazohyst1878]

Such a good game. Hopefully they unfuck their MP and get some more performance shit rolling.

[@CsStrez]

Yeah, late game performance issues are bad even on PS5.

[@mkv2718]

the game really needs some “blue estus.”

[@D00M3R-SK8]

5:55 that spell is a very late game, AoE faith spell. it can be spammed indefinitely. It's incredibly strong. I've seen people using it on mobs, and they can clear out entire areas by just spamming it.

[@796Psycho]

that spell alone breaks pvp sadly

[@shawn5745]

I was playing some of the pvp earlier and after i left the guys world my whole lvl was reset and stats as well. Went from like lvl 150 down to 60… luckily back up saved me

[@zacalangalo8998]

Same thing happened to me bro! Thank god for save data!😂 Did u screenshot your stats? I had 0 inferno somehow lol

[@hartboxer1422]

​@@zacalangalo8998yeah i got that too! Zero Inferno or some shit 😅

[@realcuondaotherside]

That's so many hours gone if no back up. I respecced in someone else's world and it leveled me up 100 times. No level 130 invasions for me.

[@mkv2718]

@@realcuondaothersidewhy i’m staying away from pvp or co op until they fix that shit. it’s a shame too, i like the fashion options in this game, and the armor tinct system is soooo good. surprised it took someone this long to implement something like that in a soulslike

[@abel_tamfein]

That's happened to me today after some invasions. I went from 156 to 60 with 0 inferno. 😢

[@westonflame9702]

If only there was some variety in the weapons people used, all I see are the light sword, and almost all of them have not of this world connection.

[@bootstrap925]

honestly some of the more interesting combat ive seen in a souls game, especially for pvp. i really hope they keep up the pace with these patches and hotfixes so the game doesnt get forgotten due to its glaring issues.

[@EldenXord]

It's not a souls game lmao

[@CerealKiller]

@@EldenXord He obviously meant souls-like, which it is.

The pve looks amazing and I am well looking forward to picking it up in a few weeks... Jesus tho, that net code has to be up there with some of the worst in souls like history. I thought people were using cheat engine 😂

I am seriously in love with this game.

[@don2nd650]

Is it worth full price

[@arran1216]

@@don2nd650I have beaten it and have 50 hours and the answer is dependent on what you want out of this game. If you are hoping for a good co op/multiplayer pvp experience I would say wait for sale. If you want an outstanding single player experience then the game is absolutely worth full price

[@ItsJustRj1]

​@@don2nd650you can see the state of this pvp, it's definitely not worth it. Also there's a live interview with one of the devs from this game that said they don't plan on bringing any new content to the game.

[@shakybeevessouls]

@@don2nd650 in my opinion, undoubtedly. If you wanted to experience a proper next-gen soulslike, with classic design principles, such as an interconnected maze of a world with shortcuts and loop-backs, and subversion of the formula in the dual world mechanic, this is it 😎👍

[@spiraljumper74]

The movement and pacing reminds me a lot of Demons’ Souls remake.

[@SiriusTexra]

Yeah, if the animations were terrible with sub ps2 tech Shit is janky as fuck

[@XInvaderTimX]

I love these LotF invasion videos by oroboro✨️😭 i was hoping he would do another🙏🏼🙌🏼 thanks oro!!✨️🌞

[@pockystyx4087]

when the patch this up it’s gonna be fun as hell to invade and be invaded.

[@d3nyd]

Miyazaki Shuffle is so strong it's invading other games

[@CriticalFeline]

the folks using all that yellow stuff, they might be onto somethin

[@NoiseTank]

When the online isn't shit man the game is so fun. Potentially better than ER and the fashion in this game is PERFECTION! Seems like Oro is enjoying the game will have to try and catch a stream.

[@humblehomunculus2722]

The online can probably never be truly fixed due to UE5s issues + the peer to peer system they implemented. I'm holding out hope they'll fix it though. As of right now EVERYTHING is host side causing the insane teleporting after they hit you on their screen.

[@Welis299]

I'm pure melee unga bunga build and it is so annoying to meet spellcasters 90% of the times, it seems so broken in pvp. I hope I can meet Oroboro for a decent good ol'fashioned sword and board one day

[@zeroq8506]

all i see is the broken thunder spamming hope it gets nerfed 90% of power

[@realcuondaotherside]

The "fuck you" at the end came from a hole this game dug into you

[@Oroboro]

Too true 🥲

[@SirJoffry]

3 minutes into the video and from what I can tell it's radiance is meta.

[@SirJoffry]

Also, with how some of these players move, if I saw those levels of speeds in a ER I'd have assumed they're cheating

[@mkv2718]

honestly, i think it’s just that those who preorder got the Dark Crusader starting class early (you can still get it in game) and it’s a strength / radiance build, so people just kept using that. hard to call anything “meta” in the first week.

[@EmyTheMonkey]

And the game push the radiance quite hard. Pieta's sword is the fisrt boss weapon you can buy and it's really good. Smite is good. If you want lore you need radiance and you get radiance spells like candys. 😅

[@deitylight780]

The good, the bad, the radiance.

[@envoyofrot7046]

This actually looks pretty fun, I am gonna invade some people with the Holy Crusader

[@gamejunkie-123]

when limitbreakers said dark souls had no viable miracle builds, LotF took that shit PERSONALLY

[@Pharm213]

Ive gotten my hands on 3 of the adyr tincts so far. Its so wild how much variation there is in the quality of matches going on. You cant help but laugh when your opponent is 50 ft from you swinging the air and you lose all your health lmfao 😂😂

[@Mrcapo100]

2:16 time is convoluted

[@vanmartr]

Are we picking 125 meta again? Does it even matter?

[@davidfalloutbandit]

Omg its so nice to have 1v1 invasions back. I don't think im even going to touch l2in ring again until the DLC comes out

[@D00M3R-SK8]

some of those guys must have been playing "super lagio brothers"

[@zackisback7186]

Yo bro I got a question even going into new game plus+ did you cap your levels at 125 and stop leveling up all together? I did new game zero just to get all my inferno spells and complete some side quest and I plan to go into new game+ once I finish up. Currently level 120

[@keithedwards499]

Had a dude just spam radiance spells at me the entire time. The two Pieta clones, and I was in the area right before judge cleric so I had those dumb radiance witches shooting at me. SOOOOO as soon as I got close after defeating the NPCs it was over for the invader :v. Not a fan of these invaders, think I miss being invaded in DS3 more 🤣

[@Lysanderofthewildwind]

Great vid as always

[@SumimasenWTF420]

With a few updates this game could be the best souls like we've ever had

[@Astarot_88]

Hello 👋 When will there be a video about your pvp build? Maybe at the end of the video you will show what you are wearing and what runes are in your weapon?

[@briantryin6113]

Either that or just clones of pietas sword the same players using the same cheese

[@austinlarsen2944]

Do the sheilds give you a better parry window? I'm very curious to know.

[@mkv2718]

they seem to. pretty sure that’s the case. either way, unless weight is a factor or you’re dual wielding, keeping a light shield and upgrading it for the rune slots is worth it for the stat boosts.

[@Bullshratnull]

If I am being invaded at a bad time, I will use the spell every time. Like for instance today, I was deep into a zone. Died. On way back to get 25k souls, was invaded. I was blocked from retrieving the souls until the fight completed. So I used the 1 hit spell.

[@Vash141]

I put 2 gravix and the craftsman essence on my Big Greg with 3 gravix on an offhand Jeffery Dagger on a 50str/50rad split. 2H ring and holy dmg ring. Big bonk gaming. Does even more damage on Devotion’s Might. One shots if you don’t block. Killed a player with 1460 hp one time.

[@TheHogfatherInvades]

The online of all time!

[@mkv2718]

i’ve only been invaded ONCE on ps5, and was immediately melted by instantly cast and overlapping fire spells. kinda disappointed 😕 edit- also, engaging in co op or invading right now on ps5 has the potential to f*ck you save and reboot your level to 60 with some weird dev build that has ZERO inferno. fun….🤗

[@incius8341]

It's neat they tried to implement a proper co-op invasion system but the online framework is garlic sauce.

[@GarryPes]

what class to choose at the beginning for pvp?

[@xGodsChosenOnex]

14:45 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jollow7]

Have the devs addressed this issue with the Lag ? I mean it’s so glaringly bad they must’ve in some sort of patch notes

[@Xxbbnosee]

What I don’t get is that when I hit people I damage them for 30 hp and they always one or two hit me and I’m dead, can someone explain?

[@soulofcinder2007]

I believe you can only invade ppl that are at your level or lower

[@edmundkempin3170]

Man this looks horrendously frustrating

[@rgdgfd2281]

This game feels more like ds2 but with actual possibility to fight against multiple opponent's.(at least you can heal fast). But parry looks overpowered right now. Some spells,and animation's,just looks wrong.

[@xephyrexe5246]

I feel like the spells are really over tuned. Like, no thought was put into how crazy OP they are for pvp.

[@O_Coisa_Ruim]

Is shield parry better than sword parry?

[@D00M3R-SK8]

Bunger... bunger, bunger, bunger. (I have a sticker of that guy on steam) it's like a cross between a woolly mammoth and a burger. I forget what game it's from, it's awesome though.

[@Dezznutz-ei4mr]

How do you only have 15 endurance an that much Stamina?

[@D00M3R-SK8]

Does the great sword have hyper armour? I was going to do a str/fth build and dual wield massive hammers (using the rune to make one weight nothing) but I ended up going full faith early game, as the light sabre is probably the best, early weapon you can get. I had never done a faith build before, so it's new.

[@EmyTheMonkey]

When the swing is launch it seems to. But there is one eye I love to put in the lamp that makes you "tank" anything when you charge heavy attack and transform damage into grey health. It work a bit like a parry move, you have to time correctly but it's great.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

Love how people say "This is fun for you" like he does when literally people are saying the same thing to every invader. Honestly the invasions should stay in Fromsoftware games. I love playing co-op & just slapping an invader around thinking they should've thought it through. My radiance spells melt bosses & crap on invaders as they try to load in. PvP isnt PvP if you need enemy AI to do your job hence why invasions shouldn't be a thing if enemies only attack hosts.
