User blog comment:Maker L106/Dark Souls 2 : Serious Considerations/@comment-16047389-20140818155507

First off, let me just say that trying to make a point to the community by saying "humans have a tendancy to be lazy fucks who can't do anything besides reach for the lowest hanging fruit. Plainly put fuck them.", to a community that is made up of 99.9% humans, is probably not the best way of getting anyone to actually care about your opinion. You just sound like a whiner.

Second, did someone wearing Jester's and Ironclad stalk you and make your life shit or something? Because you are the only one obsessing over this. Most gear is nearly meaningless in Dark Souls 2. I just wear it for appearances most of the time. And most of us don't rely enough on backstabs that our strategy is fucked everytime we run into a guy with Jester's on. I don't know if backstabs are the only trick in your arsenal, but if it is I don't see how you have any right to complain at all.

Third, if you invaded another person, you have absolutely no right to complain about a 2v1, or even a 3v1. YOU are the aggressor forcing your way into THEIR game. They have absoultely no responsibility to be either honorable or fair to you. That is the burden one bares for being an invader. If you can't handle that, then you should probably just stick to Dragon, Rat, or Bell Keeper covenant.

I am tired of people complaining about Dark Souls 2 PVP. I could almost understand it if you were complaining about how the latest miracle changes pretty much screwed any Faith builds, or how Forbidden Sun and Great Resonant Soul are still the most broken spells in the game. But instead, you choose to complain about gear. Specifically the Ironclad and Jester's armor. The two armors that would only inhibit you if your entire strategy revovled solely around getting backstabs, the most annoying combat mechanic in Dark Souls 2. If you can't figure out how to adapt to this problem, and I say problem in a sense relative only to you as I have yet to meet anyone else who seems to have a problem with this, then you probably deserve all the death and frustration. Because this game IS a skill based game. And part of being able to properly prepare for the expected, and capable of adapting to the unexpected. Not a single combination of armor and weapons in Dark Souls 2 is unbeatable. I've taken down full Havel builds, Jesters with Resonant Twinblades, Forbidden Sun spammers, and hosts that just constantly chug Estus Flasks while their two summoned phantoms fight me. To even suggest that skill plays a minimal role in this game, is an insult to all of us who have faced more impossible situations and still come out on top. I am by no means the best player, either. But I am good enough to take down those who rely too much on gear and not enough on skill. When I lose to someone, you can bet it's not because I can't backstab them.
