Earlier today I was at the skeleton lords, at like 60k SM. I could almost solo them, but kept getting taken out by the wheels. Since I was there at such low SM, I had no one to summon. Dumb.
Just let people co-op. Restrict by location and what new game I'm on, and that's it. I don't give a shit if some SL 130 comes and rocks the boss. I can banish him if I'm looking for lower level guys. Or Hell, just list SL in the sign and let me pick.
That's no different from the last two games.
Your problem was not caused by soul memory.
It would have occurred in the previous games too. Try summoning someone as a level 20 in anor londo, see how far you get.
It's a bum rap guv.
yeah but go to anor londo at sl1 and you're bound to find people.
Cross posting from G&T:
So I beat the game on one character and I'm messing around before I go to NG+ buying armor sets, collecting spells, etc. Is there anything important I need to do before I restart? I have all these boss souls should I use them now or...? Any optional bosses I NEED to kill? I'm just kinda doing the Ascetic thing in Dragon Aerie right now. Feel free to leave any tips in a spoiler tag. Oh also I CAN NOT for the life of me decide on an armor set or combination of pieces to wear. I'm trying to wear the heaviest armor I can while not fat rolling and I'm using the Defender Greatsword and the Greatshield you get from the one Dragon Rider guy. I was using Creighton's set with the Black Hood but I got bored of that. I have just about everything in the game I think barring a few sets I have yet to purchase. Just curious what other people were using. Too many options!
if you're trying to collect every single piece of loot, make sure to kill all the NPCs except Melentia, because a bunch of them have armor sets or other gear that you can only get by killing them and then buying the rest of their stuff from her

you have to exhaust all their dialogue and they can't die during boss fights. You can go back to the area they are in and talk to them then ascetic the bonfire where you summon them and have them fight the bosses to try and fix it. If they die during a boss fight and you beat the boss you may be able to ascetic the bonfire to progress the requirements
So I guess I released Navlaan before realizing what that would do.
Whoops.
In the game's defense, the developers did put down multiple messages saying "Don't you dare!"
But it's a lever!
I HAVE TO PULL IT!
I can't imagine how anyone who's gotten that far in any Souls game could reach that lever, see the warnings, and not pull that lever immediately just to see what happens
I didn't even know that lever released him, or that he was even imprisoned in the first place. I pulled it, went "huh." then went to the other side and saw a guy sitting there who sold me stuff if I was human. Absolutely no dots were connected until much later when I looked him up online.
yea i guarantee almost everyone who didn't pull the lever made the decision based on OUTSIDE INFORMATION
Well aside from the huge number of hardcoded messages in the hallway in front of the lever that tell you to turn back and not do it. You can tell they're not messages placed by players because they don't have ratings showing.
That and the way it was positioned opposite the glowing force field with a guy inside made it pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together for me, I had no spoilers about any of that stuff.
Or maybe I talked the sinister weirdo one day, and then couldn;t figure out what to do in the lever, took a few days off, couldn't find a second bonfire, and pulled the lever because it was a lever, and then realized i just released the weirdo
i sniped that giant lord with poison arrows. i couldn't find benhart's sign anywhere.
So I guess I released Navlaan before realizing what that would do.

As if to prove the point, the guy I was watching play an offline, no spoilers run, did exactly this.
I think I thought something was going to fall on me as I walked down the corridor, or when I pulled the lever
Even with all the warnings in the world levers gonna get pulled, that's what they're there for.
Like there could have been a dev soapstone message that said "Don't pull this lever, it will delete your character. Love From" and I still woulda pulled it

I pulled it before ever talking to him.
I pulled it because I was not frightened and anything telling me to stop that much clearly had a punch up at the end of it. This sounded like a good deal to me.
Nothing happened and I was kinda disappointed.
then on the other side I found a friendly but glum mage chum who sobbed:
"What have you done? You'll never escape him."
And I thought he meant Aldia so I'm all
"No son. He'll never escape me."
I then proceeded to obliterate every red phantom mage invader I met until I finally died to one while going back to tseldora to see if I could figure out what the Key I picked up from Freya was for. I then died to him again when he trapped me in a small room and cast dark storm while spiders and zombie spiders kept me stationary for him to cast.
Whereupon I thought "That's funny, that guy seemed kind of familiar." and actually looked at the invaders name. I then realised I'd been invaded by the same guy three times. See most of the time I fought him he never even got a chance to cast anything because Caestus stunlock. He'd run up, wave his wand at me and get beaten to death.
Suspicions formed.
I stamped back into Aldia's Keep and the mage muttered something about hunting a new "mark".
smelter, I know he's optional since I can keep progressing through, (turtle and knight room is a bit of a pain though) but i'd like to kill him
well, beating smelter opens up a bonfire right behind him. if you're trying him solo, it's a lot tougher than if you have some backup to keep the heat off of you. you can summon lucatiel for that fight, and you probably should if you want to follow her story arc.

Make her come to you

And building up enough curse resistance to ignore those things is hard

There were like a dozen messages specifically telling you not to do that thing
Like, it was so many I wondered if they were trying to trick me
What would these guys want me to be afraid of

hey yo
nuh-uh
how could you possibly restrain the lever pulling instinct
it is the most fundamental of human instincts

THAT'S WHY I PULLED IT

Steam

Steam
Visions of Fashion Souls... , don't give up!
so i decided to fully explore the area first before pulling it
and in doing so i found navlaan so i didn't pull it until i was ready to kill him, which was after i finished his questline

Me: "IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY BUDDY!"
And that's how I got the Chaos Hood.

"Technically" because you could just go around, but oh my god that shield is an amazing reward.
