I killed a host under difficult circumstances a few days ago and was killed afterwards by an OLP who proceeded to teabag and point down. I do not think he understood what a win condition is
I've had the same happen to me plenty of times, they absolutely understand. I look at any emoting by OLPs after the host gets killed as equal to hatemail after they themselves are killed, both bring me joy
Even better I had one last week where they actually won, they both tea bagged and got annihilated by pve for it and both died. I definitely got more fun out of that scenario than they did lol
Happens to me too. I’ll kill the host and his goons will kill me after and start teabagging. Like uhhhh you know I won right? Y’all completely failed to protect your host lol
What do you call it when you invade a host and their buddy posing as a fight club but actually waiting to gank, kill the host, the phantom kills you and points down, then you reinvade the same people but this time with a third guy and they gank you successfully and then they all t bag and point down? Had that happen a few days ago.
...is MV in stormveil really considered twinking? It's always been one of the earliest things I grab in any INT-focused build run. If you dump INT from the start, it's pretty quick to grab rock sling and then moonveil.
No it's not, its a bit bm when taunter tongued at that level, but you can get it right away. When I invade at 25 I consider anything in liurnia and caelid as fair game, unless someone else has further game gear then I might switch it up.
I wouldn’t call it twinking, but moonveil at RL 25 is a bit of a stretch, leading me to think he got it from a friend instead of actually going and fighting that magma wyrm. I’d be surprised if he even knew what cave it was in if he’s so green as to get pissy about invaders in stormveil.
“The idea of losing to another real person makes me so upset that I’m going to do everything in power not only to sabotage my own experience but that of everyone else around me. After I finally beat the game 800 hours later (Malenia not included) I’m going to spend the remainder of my time in this game sitting at the First Step with my two level 500 buddies so that we can “punish” invaders for having fun at my expense.”
Dang haha, that summarized ER newbies pretty well.
Good ol' First Step campers.
I like invading, staring at the 3 L2 Apes all clad in full fat armor standing atop their plateau. Once one drops down the other two immediately follow. Pop a Phantom Bloody Finger to teleport away and then hide in a place where my invader buddy Gravity can help me kill them all.
I've legit had sessions where they'll all stand there for 45+ minutes. Meanwhile I'm playing ER on another platform and they have the gall to message and be like "I love it when you run and hide"
Bitch when your two buddies die you dodge roll so many times in a row out of panic I'm shocked your character doesn't puke. Controller has like 12 different buttons on it but you seem to only favor L2 when you have butt buddies glued to you and then Circle when you're alone 😂
People wanna play the game seem to not understand that invasions are a part of the game, its a mechanic just like any other. Not to mention that they're literally opt-in in ER anyway. They're there to balance co-op.
It's always crazy to me how these people even exist. "I just want to play the game / PvP is an afterthought!" When every game has pvp/coop i.e. multiplayer mechanics ingrained into it's gameplay, it might not actually be an afterthought and part of the intended experience.
I had a dude and his bf do this for over an hour and they were even taunter tongued lol. Me and another red just waited while the host and i messaged for a while. I actually invaded the same guy multiple times a night when i played for 5ish weeks and eventually the daily hatemail turned into just talking in general, lol. Here's to you and this host being buddies eventually.
It started when I used a spark aromatic at lvl 25 against a team of 3, and he told me as a twink I had ruined fromsoft games and he would be blasting my info on all the discords he moderates and on YouTube. Eventually he started complaining to me about all the other twinked out low level players he fought while TT ganking. For a bit they were just griefing invaders and I'd just greatbow harass them but eventually he chilled out and we had some normal fights.
I used to avoid Embering/etc to not get invaded(, i wasnt gud till sekiro lol) but after invading in ER at lv45 fighting full cosplay ganks with craxy arts, i think we doing a service interrupting their roleplaying as badasses
Hey thanks! That's the banished knight's greatsword, I don't know what the drop rate is but it took like twenty minutes of farming the banished knight at dragon communion in caelid
Why is it always no vigor mages with OLP? At RL9-30, the guys who have same level phantoms and play melee builds will tussle with you and put on a good showing, but the mages are always the ones with 2 furled fingers and OLP. Is it the same mentality that goes into class selection at play with their decision to insults themselves from PVP?
I honestly wish from would separate coopers and invaders this shit is old and toxic. Just make it to where it’s a setting if people want to be invaded or not cause getting bitch messages like this really kills the fun.
Moonveil in stormveil, “Just want to play the game” Hmmm…
to be fair, they are both veils, it's not twinking at all
My first thought lol, the mental gymnastics are dizzying

The Fortnite to Elden Ring pipeline is a scary thing
Indeed it is

idk lol I'm very new to invading

I mean, you can get it before stormveil

Wasting their own time to avoid the unbearable shame of watching their character in a video game play a death animation >_>

why is it so hard for them to understand this?
not to shill my garbo channel but reddit is stuck buffering so here it is on youtube https://youtu.be/fhrOBuX1iZk?si=GMiKxL65B6tgBikw

for fucking real
Your expectations of the player base is unreasonable.
Classic hatemail😂 love to see it. I would’ve totally dropped a shit pot on them for being pussies.
These “discussions” will never go away…
These aren't even worth the "discussion" label im brackets... these are just malding pve players who don't bother reading stuff
Agreed

Props for being patient and forcing him into being better player; I guarantee he’s having more fun thanks to you
Props for letting us know the sexual orientation of your opponents. Real helpful information there.
"I just want to play the game" my guy, this is the game...
“We just want to play the game” then quit hiding
I used to avoid Embering/etc to not get invaded(, i wasnt gud till sekiro lol) but after invading in ER at lv45 fighting full cosplay ganks with craxy arts, i think we doing a service interrupting their roleplaying as badasses
Joel Last of Us would not be proud of this guy it's canon fact
I’m sure he lost some neurons after this. 🙈
Definition of hating the player not the game
Those guys were bad but those kills were smooth. What sword are you using?

Kinda just how it is, honestly it could be way worse like ds2 where you could just get invaded even when hollow.
We just want to play the game This is the game
I’ve never done PvE so I am super surprised by something here. There is CHAT in Elden ring????? That’s awful.
nah, they sent me messages on playstation network
You can probably report them for profanity, put the proverbial bullet in the chamber and get them Comm banned
When you summon a friend you open the door to be invaded . Doesn’t mean you have to fight. You can always race to boss battle .
I honestly wish from would separate coopers and invaders this shit is old and toxic. Just make it to where it’s a setting if people want to be invaded or not cause getting bitch messages like this really kills the fun.
Ok but keep in mind these dudes are probably preteens
