Ehehe, you're gonna hate me for it, but I am unrepentantly one of those people who actually enjoy setting up ambushes and traps when invading. It's a neat experience to me, and imo honestly balanced by the fact that you are likely to be outnumbered as an invader; if the invadee has a whole team of three Phantoms with them, you're kind of screwed. And then if they're an Apostle of Blue...

...But anyway, yes, I do! I've heard nothing but high praises for Dark Souls II's DLC, no matter how divisive the community is about the base game. That has me all kinds of hyped up, and actually, I managed to cheese my way to the Heavy Iron Key by realizing I could H A C K E R M A N into the fire lizard cave by jumpin' through that broken grate at just the right angle. And as it were, I'm taking on the Iron Keep next, so once I find that Primordial Bonfire, you better believe I'm running my first DLC!

I'm loving almost every part of it! Fuck Black Gulch and its statues though! And the obligatory clunky platforming level right before it!

The only thing really giving me pause is how bad I am at PVP. I try, but everyone and their dog in duels is decked out min-maxed to the high heavens. At least when I invade people they usually aren't built for direct PVP, so I can actually stand a ghost of a chance and it's fun. But I got so frustrated with duels that I actually killed the Brotherhold of Blood NPC, ahahaha...
