Tried using the Blue Sentinels and they don't work. At all. Then found out the Blood Covenant and decided to go to the dark side. It's pretty awful from the other side too this is what I have gathered from invading:
1) You need Cracked Red Eye Orbs to invade, but nobody will sell them to you (supposedly in NG+ somebody does). You can farm them, but enemies go extinct and it's not 100% sure the will drop one. Also, you can only invade if you are in the same area as other people are playing but the same rules of summon apply (Lvl and Soul Count). This applies to the Blue Eye Orb too.
2) When you successfully invade someone, you get next to nothing. You get SOME souls, but no items like a cracked red eye orb to keep on invading.
3) Since it's A LOT easier (THANK GOD!!) to summon people now, invasions are a lot harder.
4) The Blue Sentinels covenant exists.
5) The Blood Covenant Ring does nothing. It would be great if it DID something, since there's almost no point to invading.
I didn't exactly loved Dark Souls invasions but I loved the fact it was part of the Lore and the fear that any minute, you could get invaded. In Dark Souls 2, at least before NG+, the game is not made for mass invasions, therefore, the Blue Sentinels don't have jobs.
