Graveganks are always so much fun, shame you dont find them very often. On the topic of not much activity, I feel like it always comes and goes with ds1. There are long streches where its largely inactive and then there comes a period where there's lots of activity. Anyway great video mr.mash:)
Hey! As ganker myself the main reason why we didn't gank that much at fromsoft older games is lack of people. For example in ER you can gank about 40 people per hour (almostly all of them will be different people, number may be lower or higher, time to kill really matters), in ds3 is about 15-25 people per hour (same people), and in ds1 you will get 10 people per hour if you are lucky, and its really boring to wait victims. I really like ds1, and I play often as gravelord, but ganking is almostly dead in that game, gravelording is much more reliable and fun IMO, at sl 30-40 or olacile is very fun to fight 1v5, I can kill about 50-60 per hour. I really like your vids, keep doing them! I am PC player.
@@MrMashroom just get it, pvp is just so much better with dark souls 1 pvp overhaul, you will never go back to console. Being able to invade anywhere from everywhere is awesome and it helps incredibly with the low playerbase, you are not forced only to the same spot.
@@MrMashroom to invade or to be invaded, what is the match like apart from the weapon level, if the boss is alive when I invade or to be invaded I will have more activity than the dead boss or how it works.
I am not in favor of using advantages or glitch within the game but in pvp I see a lot of them going to your back and I don't use METAs either. I have also seen that they use the giant and havel armor a lot to avoid poise damange
The main problem is bad meta. Ds1 infested by stunlocks, backstabs, spell one hitters. DS3 two hit combos vs constant ganks were also very trashy, stamina recovery way too fast never being able to punish nor put pressure stamina wise. Shitty instant run/roll attacks on some weapons. Elden ring is a clusterfuck of AoEs that ruin the fun if ganks start spamming altogether, pushes you to use one hit ko strats, which is not fun either. IMO only ds2 got a right design for pvp, mechanicaly. Even with counter dmg boosting way too much some weapons, and some buffs raising dps too much. It was great, roll att cancels for quicker rolls, cooldowns on actions, rotational limits, both hands moves, actually good poise system..
There might be some truth to that, but ds2 also had some drawbacks. In the end the older games will just lose its audience I guess, especially when there are like 5 newer entries from the same developer, no matter if the newer game has problems as well (looking at you, Elden Ring)
My goat is back with another banger video. Excellent plays as always
Thanks man! ❤
i miss forest ganking
Omg yes. For me dark souls 1 had something mysterious. My number 1 game a raw diamond
Yeah I love forest too but whenever I go there it's pretty much dead😢 even the japanese guys (the global ones) seem to prefer township nowadays
Great video as always, I love how bait them to chase you then backstab them to the void 😂
Only works a few times usually but Darkness had such an aggressive playstyle, he would always come after me no matter what 😂
I love your videos. Thanks!
Glad you like them :)
i wish one day ds1 pvp/invasion would make a comback
wdym?
Just log in and play lmao.
If you're speaking of the activity and how it should be increased again - yeah I want it to make a comeback as well!
Cool video)
Thanks :)
Ds1 PvP was peak
True, I wish I was there at its prime and I'm happy that I was there at the start of remastered

You're right, especially in the summer I feel like the activity goes down (I didn't really play myself in the last few weeks)
Remember u making a video when i was ganking unscaled😂😂😂
Miss the old gank spank
yeah lol but that's also a pretty cheap way to get yourself a advantage xD in the end these were all fun times tho and good clips for videos
@@MrMashroom yh im well aware of that lol it aint a regular thing. At least not for me.
Gravitybonger on the other hand👀👀👀
the good times are over i guess... they are never coming back, just keep the good memories :)
@@chaotischdurchgedreht true words there :)
How is it possible to GRAVEGANK? Is it item swap? I tried at PC and didnt worked (I couldn't use the glitch after summon) :(
Yeah with the item swap glitch, should work the same with and without summons
You should make a guide to bows for pvp, since no one has made one yet

@@PrimordialXIV oh yeah I can imagine that it goes both ways and waiting is even more annoying with summons around. Thanks for the words man!
@@MrMashroom Last hope for ds1 ganks are return to lordran event and ds1 remake like it was with DeS
no more ganks on pc ds3 too. it's quiet. just occasinal wex dust invasion is where i found 3 or 2 man gank
@@LyllianaofMirrah sad times 😥
Great video mate. At least activity is relatively high on PC with wex dust, but the lack of groups/ganks is disappointing.
Man I'd love to have wex dust on PS. I thought of getting DS on PC but right now my motivation to play is pretty low anyway 😅

One question, which version of the cheatengine will serve in 2024 for DSR
@@shuramixu I have no clue about cheat engines
@@MrMashroom ok 👍

Hell no, I hate Ds1 backstab simulation, DS2 and DS3 were peak pvp.
