The multiplayer on the 360 can be classified as "fucked to shit"
The player base is magnitudes lower than the PS3 coupled with the fact you need a gold subscription to see the multiplayer elements makes for a sparse environment. I have an open NAT and player summons fail 80% of the time. I started a new character recently and went about 6 hours without seeing a single message, bloodstain or white phantom. I must have been on a totally empty server or one where all the players were out of my level range.
The one thing I really want to see fixed are the multiplayer covenants, let's go over the Darkmoon.
Blade of the Darkmoon.
They must be:
In human form
In the same area as you
Within 10% of your level
Be in the book of the guilty
The low player count on the 360 makes this a real hit or miss covenant. At 10 souvenirs handed in you get 2 items. A Talisman (for spellcasters) and a miracle (for spellcasters) there's ABSOLUTELY nothing for any other class to use and no other gifts past rank 1.
I just want to have a PVP environment outside of SL100+ NG+ twinks who've managed to get every single overpowered item in the game. I want to be able to have fun at the low & mid levels with PVP and not sit in the game for hours just failing at invading over and over again.
I *really* hope the upcoming patch will fix the multiplayer stuff. There's a great MP experience buried in Dark Souls waiting to be found but at the moment the MP element is so passive it can be said to not exist.
