I know that may be taking it a bit too far, but it also resulted in a lot of funny moments when the opponent was so afraid of me interfering in his fight, that he actually lost to the creeps. When playing in the rat covenant (pharros' doors), I'm also the type of person that would not exploit the opponents weakness when he is fighting one of the monsters in that area, but actually wait for him to finish and heal. It's something I very much appreciate about Dark Souls. This human interaction and courtesy distinguishes it from another random NPC invader fight and is very special in an online game nowadays. I think this role playing series has set a certain number of PVP standards over the course of it's iterations and bowing or atleast greeting of players is one of those. I will bow, EVERY SINGLE TIME before a duel and I expect my opponent to do the same. It's like telling a guy "don't throw" in Street Fighter. Anything goes everywhere else, because that. Guess what, asshole (not you or OP), there's a system for dueling in the game - the statues at the Blue and Red covenants. If I try to fight "fair" or don't use the most OP hexes, it's only because I want an actual fight, not because I feel some moral obligation to not use magic simply because the other guy is pure melee. To be fair, I've done some dickish shit and I never get any, either, except one guy called me a cheater(?). I may not like it sometimes, but I've never sent anyone hate mail. Unless you're participating in a fight club, and people agree on the rules, anything goes in Dark Souls. Seriously, don't expect everyone to play by the rules YOU MADE UP. ![]() If I ever meet him again, I will wreck his shit with no mercy. I wanted to actually find him and punch him, but I fought back the urge to reply and tell him what he can do with his quaint sense of honor. Last week I fought a guy and I healed during the fight, and the guy actually left the match using the separation crystal (I came THIS close to killing him while he did it) and then sent me a message telling me "don't heal in pvp". The worst that has happened was getting tagged with a Firestorm spell after I had already killed my target. In the time it takes a pyromancer to cast Firestorm or Flame Swathe, I'm already behind them and introducing them to the amazing backstab animation on the Mastodon Halberd. It's really not hard at all to roll through spells or pyromancy. Use a Rebel Greatshield or go Full Havel and stab them to death. That probably sounds a lot harsher than I meant it, but if you want to win, stab the shit out of them. If you want to feel good about being "honourable" then take a little cutesy bow after the fight is over, otherwise complaining that strangers won't abide by arbitrary rules you made up is just foolish. Whether it's a summoned duel or an invasion, always expect the other player to try and win. While there is a sub group, a minority that engages in made up rules that include no healing, always bow, duel with honour, et cetera, that doesn't mean everyone else plays by those rules. Here's the thing there's no such thing as a fair fight in Dark Souls. ![]()
