Improvement wish for Gravelord Covenent

What if when a person gravlorded an area, he was stuck in the area, but all of the mobs were now his ally. SOV and DW invaders would have to fight there way to him. It would make new game + suddenly a bigger deal and of course if a fellow Gravelord cursed his world....

Now I know it would be a big advantage for the host, and it would be very hard to kill him. But this is Dark Souls after all. :idea:

I think it should be the other way. The gravelord should get allies instead

Just the new advantage that black phantoms will give out humanities is enough for me. I will do a GL, hide him somewhere in the level, and then do work/browse the net and when I get invaded I'll pick up the controller and play. Hopefully giving me a bunch of humanities!

@Spurgun: that's what he already said

Don't killing invading sprits also give humanties too in the update? Or is that still DW only?

I love the idea of having to fight your way to the host. That's awesome. It'd be great if when you GL you automatically spawn a Black Phantom Guard, like 3 BP Knights stand around you waiting for the invaders or something. Most of the time an invader's going to wait for at least one more buy to attack. That'd be a pretty wicked throwdown.

I wouldn't want the BP to be automatic. That way there would be an incentive for multiple GLs to work together.

This would be AWESOME!

But because we don't want to be too much OP,we'll keep the allies at 3 skeleton dawgs

It would screw PvE if suddenly you could make all the enemies in an area your allies and zip through it. Apart from that, I dig the idea.

you can make it so you can only GL area's you cleared... or you can not enter the boss fog gate/move any levers to open doors/short cuts. or rest at any bonfires besides the last one you used before you placed the curse.

but that sounds to complicated.

I wish Gravelords could do it in areas that they have cleared... being unable to progress is annoying while gravelording. Should be able to do it regardless of whether you've cleared out a boss or not.

I like that idea. You can only GL those areas where you have killed off the boss.

this 100% if they just made this simple change we would see GLing alot more popular in all areas. if you can invade from any where you should be able to GL from any where.

The problem with this is that Gravelord's need to be able to act as a host for other phantoms to summon into their worlds, which requires the boss to be alive.

They become the boss in a sense. And in dark London you can be invaded and summon phantoms regardless if that boss is alive or dead.

But grave lording should be an exception, it only makes sense.

That only works because Gwyndolin is still alive and becomes the boss of the area. Meh

100% sure you can summon and be invaded even after she is dead. It happened to me before, I saw summon signs after I killed her

/this is me ending the quote pyramid.

It's been a while since I've PvP'd in Dark Anor so I cant remember for sure if what im saying is true or not, so forgive me if I'm mistaken.

KIlll gwyndolin FIRST, then kill Oand S then Boobs, Dark Anor stays a live area

I wish you got souls or at least eyes of death when your black phantoms scored a kill. I have no way of knowing whether my curse worked or how many are suffering from it.

i dont like the thought of a bunch of level mobs on the hosts side guarding him while he spams wotg.

DW can do that now by retreating into the mobs. Also the invader may not be alone in his attack. There can be up to two SOV and one DW invading a GL. Which is kind of weird. Every time I GL, I'm asking to fight two to three enemies at a time. Kind of like self ganking.. :shock:
