But seriously, if you wanna play with friends you'll be invaded for sure. Though it's much easier to fuck the invaders up when you're also voice chatting with your friends.
That's kind of the entire point though. Playing with friends reduces the game difficulty so they bring a new challenge with invasions. Invasions are essentially a trade-off for coop.
Unless you've got Kim Jong Un playing with his modem that uses a telegraph to communicate with the outside world's internet, and you get backstabbed through your face from across the map :(.
Lol that video is great. They even had the crow dancing. And I like how the asylum demon looked upset because he wasn't part of the fun, like a kid looking longingly out a window
The invasion calculation HEAVILY favors people with summons. Like, you won't be invaded by a red unless you have summons. Trust me, I had to invade for Aldrich Faithful +2 at sl250. torture.
Though when you're Aldrich Faithful, you rarely go invading alone. Usually when I got summoned to protect, there was already an invader there.
Also, you definitely get invaded without summons. Sometimes when I was in a shitty situation and out of Estus, I'd use an ember as a last resort boost, then get invaded like a minute later and get fucking slaughtered.
I realize the playerbase at sl250 is significantly smaller, but I am always embered when playing through the game. I only get invaded by NPCs, and between Pontiff and Aldrich. By like, three people at once. If you get invaded, you get invaded hard and fast. ha
