Dark Souls is one of my top three favorite games and I'm super excited to play the remaster as I never got to play the game when it was super active in the beginning. That being said, here's all the shit I'm not looking forward to in the PVP that plagued the original:
1) >guys loses to you
Here's a giant list of things a good percentage of the (salty) community bitch about being 'unfair':
uchigatana, iaito, chaos blade, mask of the mother, mask of the father, mask of the child, dusk crown, any havel armor, any giant armor, darkmoon blade, sunlight blade, ninja flip ring, hornet ring, all dark magic, all sorcery in general really, pyromancy, drake sword, shotel, falchion, all lightning, fire, and chaos weapons, large club, great club, all spears, great scythe, tin crystal cat, hollow warrior/solider armor, wrath of the gods, TWoP
It seems like over half of all viable equipment/abilities are off the table (unless they're the ones using them). Hell, you don't even need to use 'taboo' stuff. I've had people bitch about losing to me using a washing pole, great swords, a darkmoon crown, and even power within.
2) Cheating and pretending they're not wrong for doing so. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. I fight without any cheats (never used them), I start winning, they break out the cheats. If you ask them why, they blame you for using legit gameplay. Examples:
Basically, cheaters will use any excuse to justify their cheating.
3) People who blame your play style when they lose rather than just getting better. I've been called a "cheater" for:
This is the first and only online game I have played. Maybe all online games are like this. Regardless, I really hate the DS community.
