I see a lot of people complain about honor in Dark Souls but the amount of hypocrisy I see in relation to honor is absurd. What is honorable when it comes to Dark Souls PVP? Not drinking estus during a duel, not using healing spells in the arena, not using the hornet ring for crits, not hiding in the level to ambush the host, not relying on the pve, not being overleveled, not being ganked, not playing in a certain way, not being an invader? Where do you draw the line?
I've been invading for a while now and a few things are clear.
- As an invader do not expect honor, in fact expect the complete opposite. It is not uncommon to see the same person resummoned several times.
- Just because someone bows does not mean they have any intent to be honorable. I've been ganked several times by phantoms that bow.
- A solo host world with 2 invaders means they have a dried finger active (with exception to Crucifixion Woods and Gank City where it is 3 invaders). They either had phantoms or expect the challenge.
- You can still be nice during invasions even without being honorable. I've dropped plenty of new hosts embers and souls after fighting them a little.
- Those who whine about someone being dishonorable are likely used to only fighting a small set of the same people or have never PVPed before at all.
- Try to assess if a host really is new and in need of help before turning against your co-invaders.
