It was the most fun pvp.
Demon's souls is the second best.

Please post more.

Ok.

wat. It was like the most overrated thing in the history of pvp.

No it was actually over appreciated for how shit and simple it was

overappreciated

what was supposed to be a fun ng+ bonus slowly became more and more of a priority for the dev team

Except it was underrated.

on pc, because of shitty p2p matching. I can't tell you how many times I've been invaded by a BR monkey phasing in and out of existence, only to get a shithead post on my steam page in portugese whether get or get got

over-appreciated if anything
it's a neat little mechanic to look at as something to give a playthrough a bit of a personality, but then you had autists who dickwaved about how they're so good at abusing that shit netcode roll simulator ad nauseum

It was. The covenants synergized well, which made for a lively pvp environment. DaS2 was okay with pvp but its covenants were shit compared to DaS, with the only saving grace for DaS2 being the arena. DaS3 for some reason decided to combine the worst aspects of pvp from DaS2 & DaS1, as well as bloodborne, which made for the worst pvp in the series. I still cannot understand why they opted to copy DaS2s covenants and not 1s when was so much better. They even made the 3 phantoms and reduced health gimping invaders, and to top it off, horribly level locking so many areas with shitty map placement. Even now, thinking of how badly they bungled pvp makes me angry.

what weapon is this

No, seriously. I need to emphasize this. Copying DaS2s fucking blue covenant was so fucking retarded. They even ruined the Darkmoon Covenant for some retarded reason. The Darkmoon and Darkwraiths in DaS1 worked so perfectly together, like cops and robbers. It created a mini pvp community with the gravelord covenant and the rat one on the sides for flavor. I don't know why fromsoft ruined this by adopting DaS2s fucking awful covenants. I just don't get it. It's like they made all the wrong decisions for pvp consecutively, over and over again. It's so fucking stupid. I just don't get it.

souls pvp was the best in demon's souls and dark souls 1.

bonking people with the iron golem axe will never not be fun

I dunno why DS3 has two blue covenants, but they work the same. Just leave blue sentinels as the emergency auto-summons as they currently are and limit them to 1 by default and 2 with dried finger, and make dorkmoons the invader invaders like in DS1, except player killers / sinners can be invaded by up to 5 dorkmoons in any area regardless of boss status. Shit would have been hilarious.

Moonlight Great Sword

only for the first few months then everyone was BS fishing, which gets samey and old
ds2's would have been great but ds2's many issues dragged it down
ds3's is soulless bland shit

Because they were copying DaS2s covenant.

>everyone spamming their 99 humanity/99 divine blessings like it was going out of style
players are why we can't have nice things

>except player killers / sinners can be invaded by up to 5 dorkmoons in any area regardless of boss status
That would've been fucking amazing and i'm saying this as someone with a ton of hours as DS3 invader
Blueniggers are clueless, getting to hunt them as a sport would be fun as fuck.

DS2 Scholar was the best pvp in the series.
DS1 had those gay ass twinks, DS3 had those huge fights.

Finding a new area and navigating through it, while being invaded, killing the invader, and still finding the bonfire was epic . DS3 was a chore, how the fuck can I fight through 3 of them and I don't even know the area I'm in? DS2 was perfect, even with the fun build variety. PvE in all of them sucks tho, I dont play souls for memorizing telegraphed attacks

I tried to enjoy DS2 PvP but it had really strange desync and I couldn't get used to it, plus all arena fights boiled down to me facing some meme tryhard build that did 1200 damage on the first hit or getting oneshot by backstabs.

Git gud fag.

the BoB arena only matchmade you to equivalent SL for the first 60 seconds of your search, after that you could matchmake with anyone of any level. If you were sl ~600 you could drag some sl 50 guy into your duel even if he had only started matchmaking 5 seconds ago. It was really fucked.
No eye orb either, so you had to murder the big niggers across the bridge on the way to the BoB arena in CoC for creo or just cheat it in/dupe it with a mate by save scumming.
Fucking ds2.

What's the helmet on the right?

Smelter Demon

Smelter demon. Dark Souls 2.

The other thing is that DS3 needed its universal trolling covenant, like what gravelording failed to be because of NG+ restrictions and pretty meh phantom spawns.
