All your Salt

When I just started PvP'ing I was up against some dude in full havels with countless of Dark Beads, and pursuers which he spammed until he hit me once for a one-shot. It was annoying at best until he messaged me "Are you enjoying dying all day?". I told him "Dying is part of the game it does not bother me anymore. Are you enjoying pressing 2 buttons in the hope you will have either a easy win or fast loss?". Like I said I was very new and salty there.

We ended up messaging back and forth about how "how his privates get excited when killing noobs" to put it polite. As a response I started to talk dirty in an attempt to seduce him. We became friends, dueled a lot over the past few weeks, until he started to complain about me and my friends backstabbing him when he was spamming parries, so we decided to do team arenas and me and my friends all went hornet rings with daggers. He unfriended us all and deleted me of skype after weeks of 'In-game" friendship

Every time i kill myself with the chaos blade. Thats the most salty of times

Ah yes salt to oneself, the bitterest salt of all. Mine is switching to rapier mid fight and forgetting you can't kick and then get parried.

Whenever I invade players who are obviously a long distance away (and therefore laggy), who use a hornet ring and great club. Need I say more?

It's funny when people complain about the exploits in this game *cough cough*

Shadz.. You're one to talk.

Since from what I've seen of Dark Souls II beta footage, toggle escape isn't back.

Which would mean it's not an accepted tactic from From Software..

And with bug abuse, it's not really fun when a game becomes about taking advantage of glitches.

At least not for me.

I got mega trolled yesterday. i was trying to do some forest invasions.. but then i got invaded by a red and he just hid behind the axe guy for five minutes.. eventually I gave it some thought and said to myself *It's worth it* so i charged him... he rolled.. axe guy took the short sword in his gut.. i get bombarded from all sides now that my forest bros hate me.. and get mutilated by backstabs. He must have been laughing so hard at me.

I'm over it.

I really hate ledges they need to have barriers for me so i dont fall off them ledges so op, most of my deaths come from falling off ledges even in pvp i die from ledges. #Nerf Ledges

I've never much had a problem with gravity. I liked to use to my advantage a lot.

Used a build like this in Sens a lot http://mmdks.com/4ges . Or I would just go around and circle people until I was able to either get to fall off on their own, or just backstab them off.

Hackers and/or glitchers. I deal with glitches now because I have to if I want to play. But people with infinite health and the like just make me salty.

I'll be honest I've seen the dead angle magic recently A LOT and it is getting to me. Magic hits shield......host turns as it hits......I take damage from behind. k /salt

Dead angling with magic is such fun thou, makes them randies wonder

I get mad sometimes when i play really bad and I know how i played was super bad, I always say to myself when it happens, I wonder why i played like that, I just hate knowing am i playing is not how i should be. I find it to be one of the worse things i usually just stop playing since i most likely to play bad consistently and not plays as good as i normally do.

Logic fail. All toggle escapes removal means is that it's not in 2. That has no bearing on any potential design choices in 1. By the same logic, any mechanical change in any sequel automatically means that the way it works in the previous game is not valid.

Also, the entire point of competitive play is to push the system to gain the largest possible advantage, within the rules of the game. (no save modding basically.) Why are you dueling (read: Competing) if you do not enjoy the system pushing that is integral to the concept of competition?

Come on guys, no need to start having morality and intention discussions about exploits- it's off topic.

There's plenty of other threads you can go to if you really want to discuss it for the 100th time

I didn't mention morality and wether it's intended or not isn't actually relavent to either of my points. It is off topic though, so I'll stop.



In any case, my pet *irritation* (word filtered) is when people refuse to engage and run for mobs or other invaders. In randoms sure, but when I summoned them via RSS, it's frustrating. Why not just invade sens or the archives at that point?

For fun, the same as everyone. Doesn't mean I have to have the same sense of fun as everyone else. I enjoyed playing, not just winning.

And if From Soft was fine with toggle escape, then I'm sure they would have put it in Dark Souls 2, because of how many people use it.

Sure, it's an assumption, but it's quite reasonable of one.

Stray, please adhere to my request and stop going off topic.

This thread is not for discussing things other than what the OP outlined. Why you had your fun, and why you think toggle escape is not in DkSII has no place in this thread. Please drop it so I don't have to do anything more than I wish to.

Actually people who use toggle escape annoy me somewhat.

Which fits into this thread.

>.> Just saying

Saying you dislike it is fine (I did myself)

Having a debate in the middle of the thread about it is not fine, however. I wish you'd stop retorting and understand when I ask something off you it's because it needs to be done.

I remember the first time I was ganked. This was waaaaaaaay back when the Kiln was the place to be for honor duels. I was ganked by spawn jumpers. They would be behind me when I spawn (it was off camera). Then TWoP and BS/WoG me to death.

Well, fool me once . . . I reinvaded and, started panning my camera behind me, seeing them. I then started spamming WoG. They were trapped between me and the fog. Couldn't roll or even move. It was hilarious to see them try though.

Ever since then, every time I spawn in a world, I pan the camera 360 degrees while I'm spawning. It is instinct for me.

I was invaded in the forest when running to get the Eastern Set. Only SL 25 with a Zwei +5 and 27 Str. But 12 Vit.
A guy invaded me with light armor (robes) a shield (medium) and a spear. It went well until the Sorcerer started spamming the hell out of Soul arrow and Great Soul Arrow. Like, I couldn't believe you could even cast them that quickly. When I was recovering from a swing the NPC ran up and cast GSA right in my face. The recoil animation of the 2H-R2 kept me locked there and I was one shot. The Invader only hit me once in the entire fight. He really didn't deserve the win. But I didn't either haha.
