  • It is a stupid mechanic designed to keep less skilled players from being taken advantage of by certain players. Those players being the ones that make a low lvl build then only invade early game areas. Basically your actual level does not matter anymore, matchmaking is based on soul memory instead. I had a character at level 135 on my 360 with 15 million soul memory, because of that I would almost always get matched against people in the 300-400 range when I was invading or being invaded.

  • It's on both systems, when you are in you character stat page it is the top right corner stat. Luckily they did add a ring for the Xbox one version that will block you from gaining anymore souls while you're wearing it. You can buy the ring from an npc named straid.

  • He is in the lost bastille, it will require a fragrant branch of yore to access him. In regards to the soul level soul memory deal, I'm not entirely sure how it works or what the matchmaking gaps are.

  • I found a good thing on a wiki pertaining to soul memory. And I'll have to look up where to find that guy. Also know of any good boss soul weapons that are worth the soul? Have a ton but have no idea what to use for souls and what to use for boss weapon.

  • Pursuer's UGS is pretty good. If you like massive weapons that is.

  • Straid is one of two npcs that can exchange a weapon or spell for boss souls. I've never used to many of them myself.

  • Ok, sorry if I came off as hating it ( I don't and it really does seem to be an improvement) its just that the build and gear I currently have has been suited to gain as much souls as possible. So I may have to make another character if it is tooo high for the most traffic build.
