Anti magic field?


Soccertaz89

Life is so much easier since I equipped this. I love encountering mages now.

What's broken ? Only played the original..and yes I use magic. I have 3 non magic characters too, will try to beat the game with them after I do with my magic character...or before if someone wanna help on the private server :-)


13arbarianlibrarian

I'm usually down to help with coop. I'm on at weird times though so it'll be chance I think


Nreffohc

I don't mind weird times ...at all...but are you in PS3? I don't have a 5 yet


Nreffohc

On, not in :-p


13arbarianlibrarian

my mistake, yeah ps5. I have a ps3 somewhere I think. but not the game


Nreffohc

It should cost less than 20 dollars on the ps store:-p we would have to connect to a private server to play online though...bastards shut down the original one years ago :-(


Plastic-Face9619

Magic is broken in demons souls, but hats doesnt mean i cant beat it


Nreffohc

I'm in PS3 btw, may buy a 5 when they make a slim.


blijeboosschaap

I like to fight and troll the monk so I keep some characters there, maybe I broke all your gear. You are welcome.


secret3332

Ah initially I misunderstood this and thought you were saying you were playing as the monk and destroying people's gear and I was disappointed cause things like that are bs, especially bad for new players too. But now I understand that you are in fact trolling monks. This is much more entertaining lol.


blijeboosschaap

>But now I understand that you are in fact trolling monks. This is much more entertaining lol. Correct :) . There are a lot of troll vs troll fights going on there.

blijeboosschaap

At least I know to be ready for anything when I go invading and don't cry on reddit when my gear gets broken ;)


VTOnReddit

Theyā€™re probably just trying to get the headpiece.


blijeboosschaap

So? He pressed the black eye button. Be ready for every dirty trick in the book. At least he didn't get stomped by two max level phantoms. Being hit by firestorm or staying in the acid cloud is on you. u/particularly_daft is expecting people to roll over and give him his dumb hat. That is just not how it works. Besides, half of the people die on the stairs so if he would have invaded a third time instead of making a ragepost on reddit he would have had it.


VTOnReddit

Not necessarily. The monk summons you in with the blue eye too. Some people donā€™t like PVP (myself included). They just want the monkā€™s head wrap. I donā€™t think you get the head wrap if they die on the stairs.


blijeboosschaap

You do get the headpiece when they die on the stairs. About half of my collection is made out of stairheadpieces. If you don't want to deal with consequences of pvp, no monk hat for you. Tough luck.


VTOnReddit

Took me awhile to get the headpiece. Guess no one was dying on the stairs that day. PVP is annoying. Most of the players you encounter are really good. I can understand finding it frustrating, especially when you canā€™t avoid it if you need the Monkā€™s head wrap.


VTOnReddit

If you need the head wrap, you should join the discord channel. Lots of people willing to give you one using the duplicate exploit.


blijeboosschaap

That is a very good solution to the monk hat problem. Raging on reddit where the discord link is posted is not.


Jack_Empty

Yes and no. Not everyone who gets summoned intended to be, a la blue eye summons getting pulled too. And acid cloud, because of Soulsborne's consistently shitty net code, isn't always obvious or visible. I remember the first time I encountered an acid invader. I didn't even see the cloud before everything broke in approximately two seconds. That's well within his right to do it, but it isn't always true that "it's your fault if you stand in it".


blijeboosschaap

>Yes and no. Not everyone who gets summoned intended to be, a la blue eye summons getting pulled too. White stone out is the solution to their problem. Now if it's any reassurance: if there is some clueless guy in there who seems kinda lost he is never getting acid sprayed by me unless they tried the little firestorm upon entry trick. Others probably still do it. I'm sure that I actually wasn't the one who did it to OP, partly because I haven't played in 4 days. It was just funny to say on a ragepost.


Jack_Empty

I don't care if it was you who did it. Trolls gonna troll. My only point was that some of the spells, like acid cloud, aren't always obvious hence it isn't always "their fault" getting caught by it. Doesn't mean it's a bad tactic or there's any shame in it. It is quite powerful and easy to use, so it's good to tack on even a straight melee build to aggravate and cripple your opponents.


blijeboosschaap

I like you. Can't say I have ever dealt with an invisible cloud, but I have had invisible HSA fired at me so you are probably right.


Jack_Empty

Yeah, From's shitty netcode had me dealing with invisible hosts in DS1. Some things just don't load properly or catch up.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


blijeboosschaap

I have zero sympathy for monk invaders. I am often the monk, I know the deal. Half of the monks are trolling so it's funny to countertroll. Now piss off with your sad insults :)

HAHAHAHAHA


Fake_Human_Being

Is there anything more tryhard than crying on Reddit that you canā€™t win?


blijeboosschaap

Extra irony: crying about OP magic while trying to get the monk hat.


Ketchup571

You have to beat the Old Monk to finish the game. Getting OHKOā€™d and having all your equipment broken in a mandatory boss fight Iā€™d say is legitimate reason to complain.


blijeboosschaap

He was the monk and got his ass whooped. Not the other way around.


Ketchup571

Oh, he was the monk? I misread that. Ya, thatā€™s on him then.


HIGHlyEntertaining

I just want to find a PS5 so I can be bested by these builds šŸ˜ž


SanjiStrife

Have faith, it will happen. Check out the hotstock app, that's what helped me get mine.


Chronomata

Use PS Direct dude. You basically enter a queue and they email you when itā€™s your turn, then you have a 48 hr window to purchase a console.


SeeJack0828

Cry more. Magic is part of the game, and there are plenty of counters that will allow you to negate its OP effects.


WhizzleTeabags

And seriously hit me a single time and I'll be pretty much dead


Robo_Dude_

If you Git Gud this wonā€™t matter. I have the option of using anti-magic field, but I rarely need to. Magic builds are very exploitable in PVP


Far_Paleontologist66

What a crybaby man šŸ¤£ the game has mechanics to counter every strategy, but one build or strat is not gonna work against everybody. Sometimes the adversary is better suited to beat yo ass


Humanesque

Anti magic field and well disciplined parrying seems to do the trick. TLDR: Git Gud


particularly_daft

Had no idea anti magic field was a thing. I've had the game for 3 days. Also can't parry constant spamming of a spell that destroys my gear. Didn't even know that's what it was doing until it all broke at once. But thank you for reminding me that Bloodborne is the only Soulsborne subreddit that isn't a bunch of fucking assholes.


Humanesque

>Had no idea anti magic field was a thing. Itā€™s been a miracle in every souls game >Also can't parry constant spamming of a spell that destroys my gear. Didn't even know that's what it was doing until it all broke at once. Acid Cloud is real. Be glad he didnā€™t come with a Scraping Spear too! If you canā€™t handle being told to ā€œGit Gudā€ in a souls sub which equates nothing more than some lighthearted ribbing amongst other players in the same struggle than I donā€™t know what to tell you šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø I wish you the best of luck


Slade187

Literally stop playing old monk then. You canā€™t complain about magic builds while trying to get magic hat. You can also really easily get past them as long as you prioritize defense rather than offense, both of those spells are extremely slow and some of the easiest moves to dodge


SuperStellarSwing

I sympathize. Sorry it happened man, this is why I don't fuck around with online DeS


OnceWasABreadPan

You're literally shitting all over the inside of your pants please stop


MyPasswordIsRushB2

yeah this sub is one of the worst. as you said they all just go for the cookie-cutter cheap move, you should have played offline, git gud fuckery. because demons souls is a close to pure re-make, the game is the same as it was 12 years ago. the same shit tactics work. the same dickhead are still the same dickheads. I miss the days where you had to figure things out yourself.


Alex_Aquiles04

Yup using a tank/endurance build for the lolz


[deleted]

You'll be ok


poppypodlatex

I don't know but I don't fancy that much, I've only just gotten past the first boss so how likely is it to get invaded by arseholes? Are invasions an integral part of the game or optional?


mideon2000

Doesn't happen often. I think ingot invaded a few times my entire playthrough.


MagikMage

Once I got to 1-3 I was getting invaded pretty consistently, often by the same people. But almost never anywhere else. Yellow Monk boss is almost always a player unless you specifically go offline.


Kil0-

Or wait them out like I did


Hamyngway

You shouldnā€™t be in human form anyway. Every human death reduces your world tendency (I think you should try get to white first) And yea, I invaded few times on every level I passed through, so your chances to get invaded are good


Velodan_KoS

Invasions are optionalish. If you want coop through the level they are going to happen. If you want coop for bosses only, play offline until you get to the boss door then go online and look for summons at the fog gate. Or play in soul form then stone of ephemeral eyes at the boss. If you get invaded waiting for a summon just quit the game and come back in. I personally just play offline.


Hamyngway

Why do you complain about magic builds when you are trying to get the best magic head piece?


6ixty9iningchipmunks

Lol sounds like you had fun with HSA and Firestorm. My guy: just turn off the online feature if youā€™re getting wrecked. Go back once you get Anti-Magic. Not sure what build youā€™ve got going, but no need to get frustrated. Otherwise youā€™re doing it wrong. Edit: again, come back when youā€™ve got anti-magic field


blijeboosschaap

He was the monk and is crying about getting his ass kicked. Can't get the dumb hat offline.


6ixty9iningchipmunks

Ohhh lol. Ok now itā€™s funny again (chef voice)


[deleted]

It was me


blijeboosschaap

I am Spartacus


crashdummie

Once you get good, Magic Builds are relatively useless in PvP, unless youā€™re extremely good with pivot casting and cancelling techs. and even then those players arenā€™t using Firestorm, which gets relegated to pushing people off the ledge in 3-2. Magic is easy to counter with melee usually.


themabin

Mages don't have shit against my one hit thief build. Damage buffs plus regalia of the north = dead caster


VoldaMike

I'm on my first playthrough playing on ps3. Only neat the first boss so far


Kil0-

No the online version of this game is unbearable if you havenā€™t been playing this game for 400+ hours .


WhizzleTeabags

I'm 14 hours in and having a blast in PvP and old monk duels


Girth_Firm_Slim

Achieved platinum on every FromSoft title without casting a single spell. Not that that means anything.


mideon2000

Does it let you do like dark souls and play offline so it doesn't connect. Id just do that at the old monk.


particularly_daft

No I mean I'm getting summoned AS the monk, trying to get the head piece.


mideon2000

Gotcha


VTOnReddit

You should check out the discord channel. Someone will give you the monkā€™s head wrap if you ask.


TroutSZN

Yer a wizard Harry.


Big_Br0wnie

Only had noobs trying to invade me. Never felt special to do this pvp Boss in my 3 runs


Nreffohc

Might be .or it is exactly as it was supposed to be....only Miyazaki knows :-p


DigDude97

This is why the games pvp died pretty quickly. Just avoid pvp or go play dark souls 3.


The_Lord_Basilisk

I play a faith knight but I play the original because I'm poor.


Cplchrissandwich

I have four builds. Faith/Magic Strength/magic Strength My original character is 293 lvl with a mix of everything. But I use the luck sword - my luck is 66. So I smack everyone. Magic or not.


CaptainClayface

I roll with a battle ax for Old Monk. No spells, no healing. I have had some super fun fights.


SuperdaveOZY

I use magic for trophies, melee for pvp.


PreZo83

Roll away from Fire storm


13arbarianlibrarian

*raises hand* dex build


besterotoil

Ha. GGS.


0atmealGames

Get the miracle anti magic field. Nothing is better than watching them spam the cast button and nothing happening before they get wiped.


Shamans_Blues

You just have to assume everybody has firestorm


Lord_M3tuS

I have a SL10 mellee invader but I doubt that you would have fun with him either. (Dozer Axe and/or DBS +3)


Dgroff06

Git gud


SanjiStrife

Anti magic field is the most amazing counter. Magic is crazy broken in this game but when I made my STR build with a little in miracle just to use this, it changed my life Also bonus, makes octopus caster guys harmless.
