>Gank squads aren't fair
Can someone explain this meme for me?
Why shouldn't I use phantoms just to annoy people and alt+f4 every time I'm losing? Or just spend 20 minutes rolling around invader without doing anything and get hate message from him? It's all part of the game
>Why shouldn't I use phantoms just to annoy people and alt+f4 every time I'm losing?
>Or just spend 20 minutes rolling around invader without doing anything and get hate message from him?
Or just fight him 1v1?
Well that was considerate of you Op, you massive gaping faggot.

Dark souls ain't fair. It's not about fairness, play a balanced competitive game if you wanna be a bitch about it.
I entered your world for killing you, and I'll do everything I can to do it. I expect hosts to do the same. Don't like it? Use red sign.
For fucks sake, no one whined so badly about breaking your items in DeS, why the fuck are you bitching about stacked odds now?
>>339632923
Sure, I could do that too
But annoying people is more fun for me
I own then nothing and it's their fault for invading my world
>>339632810
>saved by upvoting
truly this game is reddit
>>339633240
Because people get smug about doing. as if its something difficult to achieve
I couldnt even do it myself because id feel like too much of a pathetic faggit
I don't get why people expect hosts to be 'honourable' toward invaders. They're being invaded, the stakes are higher for them. As far as I'm concerned, anything except alt-F4ing is acceptable
>>339632810
>fallen knight coat
>spams r1 after getting hit with the jump
>spams r1 after being released by the grab
>slathered poison resin on his sword? what the fuck
>>339633240
It's simply invasions being so weighted towards hosts with phantoms that's prompted it, for the first couple of weeks after release you'd never invade a lone player.
>>339633403
You should try it with NPCs, it's a jolly good wheeze.
>>339633415
Invaders constantly black crystal out even from 1v1 everytime fight doesn't go their way and they far away from bonfire
Why shouldn't host abuse alt+f4?
>Waves after break into his home
>Gut him like a pig
>>339633403
Same here. I can understand no honor, that shit's for euphoric reddit posters. But no shame?
>>339632810
Because they get a bigger win from making you quit. They may not get the reward, but knowing you were so afraid of dying that you quit the game is hilarious and satisfying. I imagine some people get mad as fuck when I kill all they can summon, make them use all their estuzs, and make them quit. Like holy shit, it's just a game, you'd rather rage quit than die?
>>339633658
invaders like this are giant faggits
And im an invader myself.
Please anon, kill yourself
>>339633614
Because black crystal is an in-game resource, alt-F4 is an extra-game resource
>>339633614
You can stop the use of a black crystal.

This is why they cry on 4chan about people who do it

>presses alt+f10 after minimal effort invasions because the host is a dullard
>pssh nothing personnel kid
Such invasions aren't worth the hard drive space on my computer.
Who all gentlemen in here? I've yet to be greet ganked by an invader in bloodborne, and it rarely happens to me in DS3 thankfully.
The ones that really bother me are the ones that absolutely refuse to fight
The guy that ran to a bonfire immediately and starts summoning help before your summon animation has finished
The guy that will fight you three on one but immediately starts running away when his help is gone
Those guys that just freeze up and stare at you if you stand near an enemy
I mean seriously grow some fucking balls and try, you don't need to be carried by 3 phantoms to beat every single bosses
And these are the same guys that will point down and drop rubbish on you after you've killed your way through the level to reach him after he's used a giant seed, killed 4 different summons, drained all the hosts estus and he's only survived due to that stupid rolling ring
>throwing down red signs as an unarmed naked dragon
>eventually get summoned by someone who plays along
>get into a heated fist fight
>we're both getting low on health, it's neck and neck
>mfw one of my messages got rated so I let the host chug estus and we had to start all over again
>>339634198
Because they own you nothing
In nigger breaks into your house, will you fight with him using your bare hands or just shot him?
>>339633306

>>339634390
>DaS invasions are like home invasions comparison
The classic scrub defense. I bet you compare shit to Hitler too.
>>339633891
A handful of people, yeah. People complain about being invaded, too. They're idiots. I deal with people that quit a whole lot, and it's always hilarious. If I'm killed by a gank squad, oh well, it's a game and it's not like I'm losing shit dying as an invader.
I think nothing of killing a guy, but somebody that quits gives me more satisfaction. You're giving up because you know you can't win, there's nothing for me to be mad about.
>>339633881
You can still do it, it's just a bit harder. Like I can still kill the host behind the three phantoms. My only problem with the current invasion system is that invading phantoms get reduced HP and estus, it should be one or the other. Disable both restrictions if the host has a companion or two.
>>339634198
I don't understand how you can think like that. I dont want to fight you, so why in the fucking world would i fight you?? It doesnt make sense.
>>339634325
Ok.
>>339634390
The problem with your scenario is the person is actually fighting back
A more accurate example is someone breaks into your house and instead of fighting back and protecting you and yours you run in circles screaming for help like a pussy and when the cops show up to save you suddenly you're a big tough guy
>>339633306
>>339634390
It's OWE you fucking idiot.
>>339632810
Gank squads aren't fair because invaders are little shitbabies that got upset they don't have 100% of the advantage.
>>339634325
I wish the dragon form worked like it did in DaS1. That unarmed AR was pretty good against middling SL people.
>>339634390
I think it's fair people use what they can to survive, but they're definitely terrible players.
>>339634664
>1v1 is 100% advantage
cry more
>Deathgrip animation
>Not insta-death at that health level
DS3 for casuals confirmed.
>>339634664
Host has advantage since fucking des
In das3 it's 30% more hp and 2x more estus
this is why there nothing wrong with invader trying to make things more fair and use mobs
But if host summons phantoms it's means he just baby who needs to be carried and he afraid to face me 1v1
Why can't you get it?
>>339634784
>DS3 for casuals confirmed.

>>339634617

lmao how can you even compare burglary with a video game
when i get invaded i dont give a fuck, i have nothing to lose anyways, progressing through the levels is easy, who gives a fuck if i die.
ur just a pussy m8, sry to be the one to break it
>>339634609
Then play offline, commit suicide when invaded, beeline to the boss room, let me kill you, even you quitting out is preferable to me since it wastes less time than me chasing around slowly killing because you are to scared to fight back
>>339634963
Why would you not have balls in the first place, it's a video game fight and I don't see why some people get so scared
I haven't played DaS III yet but isn't that animation ripped from Bloodborne?
>>339635021
>is preferable to me
Stop taking 'Host' so literally, they aren't concerned with your well-being and are helping other hosts by frustrating you and wasting your time.
>>339635115
Why are you asking us, why not ask these people you keep running into?
Some people just don't understand the fun of trolling, OP, and they probably never will.
>>339635018
I treat it the same way
But on the other hand I never get mad about gank squads who specially wait for me to invade their world too, it's part of the game and shit happens
>>339635021
>invade world
>how dare he waste my time
>>339635264
What an ugly, unfunny image. The fact that someone wasted their time typing that shit in vain hopes of it becoming circulated reaction material is more funny. Shit man, I'd be unable to resist deleting the shit whenever I see the thumbnail. Just terrible.
>>339632810
>It's all part of the game
No, it's all part of this incredibly lame meta game that you faggots and the developers worked together on over the course of series, while those of us that actually play videogames as opposed to 'being a massive faggot' simulators stopped bothering with the series outside of the less shitty PS exclusives.

>>339635492
I'm not defending that playstyle, it's obviously not terribly effective.
What I'm defending is people playing the game however they wish, and people like you just putting up with it. If you don't like how other people play the game, stop playing with them, don't come here and pretend we're going to lay down rules of play for everyone to abide by.
>>339633951
Could you elaborate on the tackle? It looks like it has the ability to parry. Or did your tackle do a shield break and you could critical attack him?

There's a lot of spears and katanas, but it's pretty cool here. Hardly any ganks.

It's you who complains about host wasting YOUR time

Get good or quit the fucking game you sperg.
>>339633403
>people get smug about doing it
I hate to say sonething so coiched, but you'd need a thicker skin. That happens in pretty much every multiplayer. Shooters with audio and the older ones that lack it had it when people abused shit, ASSFAGGOTS have it, racing games have it and so on. I really don't see what could be behind people being mad about their smugness, even only taking into account only souls games, I cannot comprehend so many people have been through them and could still feel bad about someone using a tactic they consider unfair to beat them.
Like most I also often lose to gank squads, but I don't feel the need to complain, nor do I take part in fight clubs.
>>339636808
>why didn't he play by my rules!!!!!!!!!!
>I better call him a little bitch
>>339636704
I didn't say being afraid of you was the only thing they enjoyed, that'd be weird.
Since they're afraid of you, they probably enjoy seeing you getting beaten up by golds purples and blues too. Logic.
>>339636598
What I find amazing is that the host spared your scrub life, then you win the invasion by opportunity rather than any skill.
>>339636943
*something so cliched
Sorry, I'm retarded.
>>339632810
That's all good. But if I see a guy who refuses to 1v1, all I do is sneak attack into run behind adds and only take fights near them.

>>339637231
>throw baby tier tantrums whenever something doesn't go their way
Funny, but it's invaders who do it, not hosts
See >>339637470
Ganking is fine in my book if they're truly creative about it. Like both players wearing the host ring or any other creative shit they can do. The only time ganking is really frustrating is if they're all shit at the game and just spam weapon arts at you, and then gesture spam after they kill you. Also, dedicated gankers you need to show no mercy. I'm talking people who play with friends and all three of them never stop attacking you. Throw that hornet ring on and parry the shit out of their ass.
>>339637470
>i'm going to play with someone who's not a complete spineless coward.

Invasions have a more organic quality of uncertainty that can't be replicated by soap signs.
You either wreck or get wrecked, or fine some strange middle zone of memorable moments and camaraderie.
esp if you find a hero player who you find as a equal and end up messaging and trading with instead of killing or something
>>339638068
What if you use it at the end of a fight, facing the host, and not walking away like a full edgelord?
>>339637853

how is doing something better with time management a temper tantrum;
instead of running around a ghost map of a fucking dude who trick jumped over a parapet in lothric castle, or some faggot who hides behind a fog wall (you)
So, let's make it clear
If invader invades your world and fucks around it's "cool and interesting"
If you fuck around it's "unfair and waste of invader's time and you should play offline"
>>339638583
An invader just fucking around means you can just move on to the boss. A host fucking around means you either disconnect/crystal out and get separation punishment points, or put up with it.
I don't understand why invasions are such a thing to be feared.
They're a fun and interesting break from the monotony of pve at best and a momentary inconvenience at worst.

I invade fully expecting to find pussies, don't complain about the obvious sorts of people you have to face. You should know what you signed up for when you used the orb in any of the games.
>>339638076
This happens, but it goes both ways, there's also plenty of hosts who won't play along or invaders who rush when you're up against a hard mob. If you want to make thise bets, assume the comprimisse the host can just as well fuck around with you and don't complain.

No one fears them
The problem is that hosts want to play by their own rules and CAN enforce them
Invaders aren't happy

So the game went from giving the advantage to invaders to hosts, big deal?
>>339638854
How do you stab someone with a bardiche anyway?
>>339640517
Yes, and because everyone can now invade because orb isn't behind middle or late game boss, we got so many complains
>>339640517
well, turns out invaders are little bitches, so it's a big deal for them
ganks are 100% fair, if they weren't from wouldn't allow you to get invaded with phantoms. Also as an invader I'm savage as fuck. In the middle of fighting enemies? I'll attack you with them. bow? I'll throw a knife at you. using a longsword, estoc, or rapier? I'll parry you several times and never take the repost just to toy with you. Pretty sure the one in 4 invasion I have where the host has a phantom are a way to counter shits like me. Not saying I haven't spanked a gank but I can't manage that everytime.
/v/ just needs to stop being crybabies and deal with the the functions in the game.
I don't know why everyone is so scared of invading.
>>339640886
your webms are trash and i hope you feel bad about yourself.

Awful webm.
I get invaded solo quite a bit, and I always find a nice arena for us to fight. I'm not amazing at this game so I accept that I'm probably going to die and just do my best. What irks me is when the red then runs up, stops, and tries to lead me into some really shitty and obvious trap. Or a mob. It's annoying as fuck, or they fight you for a bit and then run away and try to lead you into a mob. Keeping in mind that I never chug if they don't, it just fucks me off that I'm trying to just have a bit fun with them and give them a good fight and they just want me to fall for some cartoon trap they saw on YouTube so they can message me saying "bet you didn't see that coming idiot hahahahah XD"
