You seem to only be able to invade someone who uses your invasion sign. So no more harassing random players who are just going about their day.

These are the duel summon signs, which have existed for a while. But there's also a random invasion consumable, which I guess only applies to people who use an item on their end to let people in?

Opt-in invasions is kinda weird because I feel like the only thing the system has going for it is the unpredictability. Bloodborne had a similarly weird system that split the difference - trying to summon help would also open you up to invasions at the same time. Is that what this is? I don't think I've found anything that allows me to be invaded, just invade.

You'll need to use the finger items to see player summon signs. You might also need to activate the summoning pool statues... I think. You can also just place your summon sign, or use an item to send your sign to any nearby summoning pool.

I know for a fact you need to activate the summoning pools if you want to be summoned from them. I'd been ignoring a bunch because there is no visual indicator what they did and spent some time last night activating the ones I missed. So if the concept of being summoned into random areas sounds appealing to you then make sure to poke every one you find.
