Yeah, I've not once been invaded by a red phantom. I did use a couple cracked red eye orbs myself on an old character a week ago. That worked, at least.

So I guess there's hardly any red and so I guess I'm just going to sit here with my blue sentinel dick in my hand doing nothing for awhile. I tried out blue sentinel a bunch today and had no luck. My friend was doing it a couple days ago and had a few successes, however.

Also we did some co-op. Day one we had absolutely no luck. Day 2 we hardly had a problem. We use the God ring and it works well, I think. How do you check SM? Also, I agree that it should only be for invading. 

Oh, and earlier today I saw literally ten summon signs in front of Old Dragonslayer and was extremely giddy about it.
