Early PVP is pretty stupid, due to the lack of Poise armour at the beginning of the game enemies can just stunlock you to death. So far using the Cracked Red Eyes I've managed to invade 2 players, the first one was a good fight, we traded hits and I appeared to be winning. But I eventually slipped up, got hit, hit again, hit again. I was trying to break the lock but they removed the ability to do that.
Second one I invaded a host passing through Huntsman's Copse, as soon as I entered he began to summon a white phantom, the white phantom got into the game and it became 2v1, I got the White Phantom down to critical health and all of a sudden a Blue Spirit enters the match making it 3v1, they quickly gang up on me and manage to kill me.
So far two unsuccesful attacks, but I've learned my lesson.
Odd thing was is that I noticed I couldn't use my Estus Flask, I have no idea what this was about because I remember it being possible in the Beta, I just put it down to the fact that I wasn't actually a member of the BoB covenent.
After that I went to go fight the Skeleton Lords. I'm going to avoid spoilers, but that boss fight is evil very evil.

Is it just me, or have they messed up the PVP? As Krom mentioned, we no longer have the Red / Blue Eye Orbs to invade players, instead we have to Farm / Find / Earn the Cracked Orbs.
Not only that, but an invader cannot use any healing items (No Divine Blessing / Lifegem), even when summoned, whereas the host can use every single one. I've fought at least 10 matches so far in which I've been summoned, and in all of them the host has healed at least once, putting me at a huge disadvantage, forcing me to play more aggressively and put pressure on them which leaves me open for some punishing attacks.
If I'm invading I have no problem with it, but when I'm summoned I expect to be put on an even level as the host.
I will say that the Dedicated Servers are amazing, I have not had one match in which the lag was too much to handle, and I've been able to pull off parries easily because of this. But its just the actual combat that feels worse than the orginal I've been stunlocked by Longswords / Shortswords even with +40 Poise, and to top it all off there is a ring that reduce the poise of your target.
I really think that the summon should not be able to heal, but as soon as the host uses an healing item, the summon should be allowed too.

Fighting for the Bell Convenent is pretty fun, for each victory you're given a Titanite Chunk, and most of the times I dont even have to wait for an invasion, as soon as I'm out of one, I'm straight back into another one. Its definitely the easiest way to get PVP since all you need is the ring.
Thank god poise is only broken, glad to hear its a glitch and not something they actually thought would fit into PVP.
I love the Mace so far its criticals are so brutal and the moveset is pretty sweet, so many people are falling for the new pyromancy animations, I've had people roll into me when I cast Firestorm because they think I'm about to throw a Fireball at them.
