I'm going to bring one or two of my "invasion characters" out of retirement.

Gonna give the newcomers a "small taste" of Souls experience. Unfortunately, invasions aren't what they used to be.

Hopefully Nintendo players will not block PC/PS/Xbox players. We have a lot to teach, in invasions and jolly cooperation department.

Invasions are the worst and should be opt-in only. People like you ruin the game for so many others.

They are opt in. This is the same convo that has been happening for more than 15 years.

Invasions are unique and an incredibly interesting mechanic and the games and I am happy still include them, even if they have largely nerfed them.
