Normally I'd say no. But I haven't played Dark Souls and I don't know just what Snuggly can do, so I can't say for sure. Even if the server mods know, generally they don't permaban people right off the bat. You may get your DS character reset or lose your privilege to play DS online, if even that. MS themselves won't even look into your account to see if you're modding unless they get several complaints, so I wouldn't be too worried.
Is there any way at all to turn off PvP altogether? If nobody can invade your world, nobody can claim to know that you hacked the game. I know the game is centered around online play, but if there is an option to disable others from invading your world, I would use it from now on.

no option to turn it off. If you are human they can invade if your hollow they cant but I need to be human.

Couldn't you just pull out your ethernet cable when you play? You'll still be able to sign in to your profile, just not xbl.

Since you're on Xbox just start a xbox live party, then start the game. You'll get bumped into "Offline" mode since you're in a party, even if by yourself. Unless they altered the idiotic concept of no party chat while online, you should be fine.

yes I know how to do all these just stating there is no "option", anyways getting away from the question.

you can get banned if you are reported several times, instead of hacking health, go back and edit all your base states(mainly resistance to 9999) and you'll be fine.t Story and any multi player will be very easy.

Depending on how he goes about it, yes you can be banned, quite easily if he goes directly through Microsoft's web page and provides video proof
Now i'm going to be blunt, get in a party to get offline mode, jump of a cliff and die to go hollow or disconnect XBL, its not fair to other gamers having the online system broken because some people max health or stats, im quite against online modding especially in a game like DkS as it breaks the flow of this online and making it unenjoyable.

Agreed. It's not fair to legit players if people use cheats and/or mods to win or beat other players online in multiplayer. In my opinion, if you cant play online without cheating, stay the hell off there. Keep it fair for everyone.
There's nothing what so ever wrong with modding your single player game offline as long as you keep it that way. :have a nice day:

System tampering? Did you go online with a offline jtag or mod the actual xbox? You cant get an instant perm ban for editing a save file, I think its a warning then bans that get longer and longer for every repeat offence.

I meant cheating lol I'm suspended until 12/31/9999
My advice to those who want to pvp, don't mod your HP or stamina to high

Well its not like I invade other worlds and then kill them he invaded mine. I had no intent on going to other peoples worlds. I was just trying to get through the game faster as I have already beaten it. Just thought it would be fun to be in "God" mode. But no someone invades me then says "recorded. Reporting",

That may be true but I bet you wouldn't have liked it if a person with modded health came along and kicked your butt and you couldn't kill them. I can kind of see the other guy's point. To him you were cheating I guess and that stuff is mostly frowned upon in online games.

This. You got the game set up for PvP by staying online and in Human form, it's not the other guys fault he invaded you, he is the unlucky bastard who got put in your world over someone elses, its not as if he had a choice. Also keep in mind there are several pvp hotspots that are going to have more people invade you and file complaints against you when you reach those areas, inparticular the darkroot garden, sens fortress and anor londo (dark or not)
Seriously Jump off a cliff and hollow-fy youself, that way you can keep the messages left and no one will be able to invade you.

The moral of the story is: If you have to ask, then don't even bother.
The best advice is Paprika's. Either that or or start a party when you load up the game. You'll automatically play the game in offline mode while still remaining on Xbox Live, as was said by another user.
Failing that, if you get invaded, then pull the plug/disconnect.

To wrap this up, dont mod HP/stamina. The games easy with max stats, and no one can catch you as long as your not in the book of the guilty/pvp a lot.

i dont think he'll even report you. half the time they just say it to scare you. but like everyone else said, play offline if you want to be human. you have no intentions of invading others so it shouldnt make a difference. or do the party chat thing.

Is Reporting not only possible for those who are invaded? I don't think its possible to Report if you invade someone. And if someone Reports you Ingame with the Option, then this only means you got Sin, and this can be cleared by paying Souls which you should have enough if you modded your Save anyway.
I got Invaded several Time while playing a modded Save, well a moderate modded one but still the Unkillable Dragon took 15 Minutes to kill me with an Ring that halfes my Health, so i still was practically unkillable and i killed all the Invaders for sure, but probably they not even had the Time to notice anything because they died so fast from behind... rofl!
Also i always instantly cleared my Sins if i got some, because if you are listed in the Book of Sins, everybody can check your Stats including the modded ones, so if you use modded Saves check the Book of Sin from Time to Time and if you are listed go clear your Sins immediately.
And btw. there is also the possiblity to max out your Level, this way its unlikely that you will ever be invaded even if Humanform, because there is a limit of which Level can invade other Levels, so if you get invaded with a max Level its probably because the Invader has modded his Save too, else allmost impossible.
Also if you stay Hollow All the Time and only go Human for specific Tasks that needs it (which has not negative Effects anyway, especially if you have modded you Save) then you probably never get invaded anyway, but still you need to check your Sinstatus and clear them to hinder the chekcing of your modded Stats.
And well i never invaded anyone while playing with a modded Save, thinks its unfair anyway to do that, but still was Fun to kick the Invaders that dare to invade me while unkillable, rofl!
Also a very cool Trick is to use the Ring of Fog instantly when you get invaded, then simply go to an Dark Spot turning yourself in a way that you can't yourself see anymore because of Textureoverlapping... I done this several Time and they walked around me without seeing me, then you can kill them from behind instantly or simply wait for them too leave or even worser wait till they fall down and kill themself by accident, happened many Time while doing that hehehe, once a Dude walked two Times where i was hidden and then i see him falling into a Trap and die... This is real Fun, because nobody even has seen you and then they have an Accident while searching you and the Best is then you go and take his Souls.... rofl!
Also if you edit your Save wisely you can avoid all PvP-Quests and everything like that by giving you all the needed Items anyway, so Piece of Cake anyway to get all Achievements without even doing one Thing like that, but it needs some wisely editing and thinking, don't simply give you everything and finish all in the first Run, do it in the correct Order also remember that it needs two and a half Playtroughs to get all and everything will be fine and untrackable...
I think anyway this is valid for all Games and Cheating, don't be a greedy dumbass else don't whine if you get catched because you was too greedy to get everything too fast...
