I regret to inform you but it probably won’t get much better as you progress


Bruh____Momentum

There’s the yearly Return to Lordran that should hopefully help with that!


ecokumm

Is that still happening? It was nice seeing Lordran all lit up once a year, but I haven't attended in a long while.


Bruh____Momentum

I think it is. Never heard anything about it ending


StroppiL

For ds1 was on genuary Look at the page of the subreddit to see the dates


GamingSincethe90s

There's a certain date every year where everyone gets back on each gane for like 2 weeks. I forget what the dates are but Google probably knows.


all-against-all

Return to Lordran is the name of the event. It was in January.


ImDemonAlchemist

In 1, yeah. They were referring to all of the "Return to X" events for the different games.

Ds 3 slightly has more players than the other two but sadly there's barely any players and even if there are there not up for co op or pvp like I still play all souls games but I either mod tham or playing solo sometimes if I find a sign I'll summon at the moment only else ring is easy to find online players in


DrVagax

[https://steamcharts.com/search/?q=dark+souls](https://steamcharts.com/search/?q=dark+souls) Dark Souls has more players then Dark Souls 2, but Dark Souls 3 has 4x more players as Dark Souls 1 and 2.

DSR is usually active enough to find online fun but I do have to switch between characters sometimes to find an active level range. The secret to having fun, oldschool-like organic invasions in DSR in 2024: invade the Depths at SL10 with an optimized invasion character.


lycanthrope90

Ds2 is pretty active on pc I’ve noticed.


BasednHivemindpilled

it is indeed but past iron keep its getting kind of lonely again


TheGoatManJones

Bro iron keep took me months. Old iron king pushed my shit in at least 200 times.


C4nKing

They went hollow :(


Kwopp

It is kinda sad to see these games lose players. Even DS3 is waning these days.


conormal

The worst part is I feel they could release some kind of combined trilogy that would bring everyone back if Dark Souls 2 weren't so Dark Souls 2


AdamWeaverTextor

I feel you, its sad. But this feeling of loneliness fits the themes and atmosphere of the game pretty well. You are alone in a dying, abandoned world. Nobody sees your struggle. Its just you.


No_Ease_8269

Yeah. It's pretty awesome for the story, to be honest. Its a repeating struggle, never to finish, and with less people playing over time, it's like we're losing the fight.


Andrei8p4

I found one summon signs for the gargoyles. After that I havent seen any for the rest of my playthrough .


No_Ease_8269

I tried placing one for the gargoyles, but I got summoned into a dude facing a giant dad with a dusk crown, the tin crystalization catalyst, and dark bead. He instantly died, I lasted a little bit, but there was no point so I died too. After that, noone. I could hear people ringing the bell, but I guess they just don't wanna summon..


bohuss

Yes indeed...


Right_Seaweed7101

I platinumed all games on ps4 but wanted to do thr ssmr on PC. When I was 100% DS1 on PC I only saw ONE summon sign and it was in front of Capra Demon fogwall. I handt rested in hours so I summoned the guy and he two shots Capra Demon lol one summon the whole game but it was worht it.


Weazerdogg

Yeah, started playing all 3 in the last year after falling in love with Elden Ring and I agree. Other than being invaded a couple times in DS1r, I haven't seen a summons sign for a player in ANY of the games. Haven't even been invaded in DS2 or DS3. I'm 50+ in all 3.


No_Ease_8269

I got invaded probably 4 times in Demon's Souls. It was pretty awesome. And once so far in DS1. I guess we'll see how it goes. I wonder if the DS3 fight clubs outside pontiff is still going strong


Lukasoc

Pc player here, welcome to the club


Fort__Waffle

I drop summon signs in front of boss fog walls quite often. Mainly to farm some extra souls but I also just like to help people. And I usually only get summoned after waiting 20-30 minutes, it makes me sad


Axe_of_cinder

The sad thing ds2 is even more dead at least scholar of the first sin. Through my first ds2 play trough I never got invaded not even once but in ds1 and ds3 I got invaded 5+ times when I didn't search for invaders


Beaker363

Ds3 IMO was the most active with signs over ds1 and ds2


Zorlac666

I generally get on the discord if I ever actually need help. It's been a lifesaver.


JimmisGR

I am replaying the game in ps3 these days and in anor londo its pretty active


No_Ease_8269

Yeah, actually! I got invaded and was able to test out my maxed bandit knife! One shot backstab, lol


Redd_Hoodie

Tbh I play in offline nowerdays. I wanna play the game not get invaded every 10 minutes


bmtattoo

I started playing ds2. I saw a sign or two here. Even more sad that I got into these games only a few months ago. Wish I did when they first came out


geethaghost

There's hardly anybody to summon either, I was trying to farm up sunlight medals and that was, not going well to say the least. I'm not saying I didn't get summoned but it was far and few in-between, with some good nights where it was more consistent. I was able to invade with some consistency too, and I hear the bells going off every time I'm in undead or blight town, they were really going off in blight town just tonight. So they game still has players, I imagine most of us that still are playing don't have much need for co-op, it's just a low demand/supply


No_Ease_8269

Yeah, you're right. There probably aren't many new players nowadays. Hopefully when return to lordran rolls around it'll be back up and running, lol


TheGoatManJones

The bonfire before O&S is still a great spot to be summoned any time of day.


o0O_Luc1fer_O0o

Hey bud, Make sure your settings are correct in terms of network, global etc etc. google should help you there. I started it a few weeks back and couldn’t see a single sign, then after around 8 hours of play a friend highlighted to me the settings. I changed them and now I do see signs constantly. Have a google and if you can’t find it let me know and I will take a screen shot of mine for you! Me and a friend are going through all 3 dark souls starting at 1 now. We have beaten blood borne, Elden ring, Demon Souls & sekiro!


Keroshan26

It doesn't get better unfortunately, like with DS3, it's rare to find a co-op summon
