After a five month hiatus I decided to start playing Dark Souls again after seeing the new DLC (YESSSSSSS!!!!!) is to come out in October for 360. So I decided to create a new build for the SL 99 arena bracket and I'm currently lvl 73. Its a murakumo build utilizing CMW to buff and then an assortment of other weapons to use. I decided on Int since I've never used it in a build and thought why the hell not. Same with the murakumo.
So after some low lvl pvp (35-50) in the forest my build was coming along very nicely and I decided to start killing off the bosses to get to the Kiln.
Now after progressing pretty far in the main questline I figured to go back to the forest and see what was going on with my new lvl and had ten cracked red eye orbs to use, so I started invading.
After ten invasions EVERY opponent had full Havels/Giants with one of the three masks, ninja-fipping around either with one of the katanas or the MLGS or zweilander fishing for backstabs. Every single opponent had this combo and was just fishing. It was the most frustrating pvp I have encountered in this game.
Now I realize that the forest is notorious for high lvl gankers to wait and abuse lower levels, but five months ago there was some decent variation to the builds I saw. Now every player is fishing for backstabs with full heavy armor, flipping around, abusing the games lag. It has made DkS annoying to play.
I did pretty bad for my standards and only won five of the matches. Now my main Sl 136 would manhandle these players but thats no solace in knowing that EVERYONE now uses the same build, over and over again.
I really, really hope that the SL arena, along with the nerfs to the DWGR, get rid of these flipping tanks since they have completely overrun the 360 gaming community. It's really ruining such a beautiful game.
