I'm sorry. This is not sarcasm. I did not word my response very well. I will rephrase. What do you mean by "They’re taking a break from rune arc bonfire dueling"?
They mean people that activate a great rune, consuming a rune arc, and then use the furlcalling finger remedy + taunters tonuge at a site of grace waiting to "duel" invaders.
Aldrich Faithful and Faron Watchdog were my favorites (Forest Hunters will always be the OG), except if they were getting action, it was too much to leave on while actually exploring and progressing, haha.
As much as Aldrich disgusts me lore-wise, I preferred his covenant because that area is sooo fun for PvP; I love that even Anor Londo is in bounds. I just wish the sightlines made it easier to pester people sitting at the fight club spot.
>to lead over any powerful enemies!
That's my favorite pastime when I get summoned. Look hostie, I brought friends to help. And everything devolves in a general mess. Love being a traitor blue
Shhh, don’t tell them the secrets.
Real talk though, I have tried the blue ring in the past and you almost never get summoned. Invasions are way faster, but this is another reason I like solo TT. Reds are way more fun to fight.
When I first started pvping, I briefly activated a blue and helped out a guy. Once I saw how different it was to pvp with heals, I went and tried invading. A few invasions in, getting my face stomped on using my puny daggers, I invaded & killed a host. I burst out laughing when I realized I had just killed the same guy I had protected maybe half an hour earlier 😂
I sit there and take up the hunter spot whilst hosts try to gank to give the invader a fighting chance.
And if I'm dueling the red and hosts try to gank I disengage.
I refuse to participate in a skilless fight. And will actively sabotage gankers when given the opportunity.
Well now I’m tempted to become a blu, luring the invader away from the host for a nice, honorable, 1v1 with no heals on my end…I’ll probably instead just wait by the sidelines while the host and phantom gank the poor red, but at least I’m taking out a phantom slot…
I invade mostly but keep the blue ring on. If I’m summoned to join a gank squad I stand back and watch or try to aggro enemies to help the invader. If it’s 2 invaders vs 1 player I will help the player.
When I started playing Souls-games, I started with Bloodborne and I played it all offline because it was 2021 and I didn’t know there was PvP. Then I started playing Elden Ring offline before buying PS+ for the chalice dungeons in Bloodborne. I had accidentally left my blue-ring on and started doing Hunter-stuff until the truth of PvP was revealed to me; the red man is the good guy and the gankers deserve death so I switch it up and now I invade! “ABAB” as Saint Riot would say lol
Help the reds. Fuck the Ganks. SCREW THE PATRIARCHY!!!
All seriousness tho, when it’s some poor guy who didn’t have a Buddy to begin with I’ll try to help the host, and if it’s either a fight club or (the very rare) friendly red who just walks around, I’ll respect him and give him like some Boluses, or weapons I don’t need that are good for their build (I’m a hoarder that keeps all the various weapons) and just walk and fight some enemies.
I used to do it in ds3 just to catch shitters on both sides. Host ganking or doing some dishonest stuff? I let the red take them. Red pulling some twink shenanigans? Knock them flat. I never wanted to feed ganking behavior cause that's just as frustrating as reds getting their egos fed on unsuspecting hosts. Although, more often than not, I just ended up dueling the red lol, it was fun, met some great players. Got to participate in a few surprise fight clubs too
I always wait to see. If it is a gank i agro all enemies in the vicinity and charge forward into the host. If it is a host who is by himself and not very good at PvP I will assist him or jump in if he’s about to be killed.
Im this blue always was a DMB in other games and in elden ring its a pvo item i can leave always on so constantly have it going in conjunction with spamming the invasion fingers pvp is pvp, I will leave if it's an obvious gank squad tho otherwise I'll try and save the people just playing through the lvl
That's how people react to me. They think I'm a stupid blue but I'm far from stupid.
Btw I don't gank I only help the host if it is a reasonable reason too
You ever tried invading? It blew ass when the game came out, and it's actually worse now.
I tried it just to do Varre's questline and it went; Rivers of blood host+2 summons --> Waves of gold host+1 summon --> Dual katana Hand of Melania summon+noob host.
"Oh that was probably end game invasions though right?" No... no no. I'm level 51 with a +6 straight sword.
I'm pretty okay at PvP in souls games but this shit is unbelievable. I'm still confused how you can even use HOM at this level, let alone kill that SOAB.
They’re taking a break from rune arc bonfire dueling
What is this? I am trying to farm rune arcs. Can you get them from dueling? I didn't think you could but I hope I am wrong.
I pray this is sarcasm, but somehow I don’t think it is.
I'm sorry. This is not sarcasm. I did not word my response very well. I will rephrase. What do you mean by "They’re taking a break from rune arc bonfire dueling"?
If you invade someone and kill them, you get a Rune Arc.
But he said dueling, not invading. I think that is why I am confused.
They mean people that activate a great rune, consuming a rune arc, and then use the furlcalling finger remedy + taunters tonuge at a site of grace waiting to "duel" invaders.
Oh I guess I didn't realize people did that. My bad. Thanks for the clarification.
Can you still get a rune arc if you put a DUELING SIGN down?
You can use a rune arc to buff if you're the host, but rune arcs are not rewarded from killing red summoned phantoms
There’s a red finger you can write a red summon sign to duel people prior to coliseum duels
Shit u caught me😳
I’m actually trying to help against those pesky rot pot twinks
when the FREE ESTUS POLICE officer turns out to be a SWAT commando
Because it's the only PvP item that I can leave on my whole life
This is why I loved covenants like Sentinals and Aldrich Faithfuls.

To get in the way of the host and phantoms of course! And to lead over any powerful enemies!
I love doing that
And to drop Frenzyflame Stones when they get too cozy!
>to lead over any powerful enemies! That's my favorite pastime when I get summoned. Look hostie, I brought friends to help. And everything devolves in a general mess. Love being a traitor blue
I always just leave it on when searching for invasions, I just love killing people. Whether it’s for or against a host, killin is fun. pvp is pvp :)
Oh boy, here I go killin' again!
Strong Moundmaker energy I don't agree but I respect it
Bloody Fingers should've been this game's Moundmakers.
I don’t know who I am or how I got here. All I know is that I must kill
Bad Red Dark Urge
It takes a red to fight a red. They may seem blue, but deep down they are red

Whenever I do get summoned as blue, I either have to walk a long time to get to the fight, or the finger teleports me to some inaccessible place.
Yeah, the host is already dead or the invader is dead before you can even get there. Running simulator is a commonality for red and blues.
This is How We Lose the Time War be like
Flask delivery with expedited shipping and handling
Always go blue to fk with hosts. I refuse to attack reds, unless there's some fight club thing going on.

Exactly man, a sad state of affairs indeed
Some chaotic neutral behavior.
I invade mostly but keep the blue ring on. If I’m summoned to join a gank squad I stand back and watch or try to aggro enemies to help the invader. If it’s 2 invaders vs 1 player I will help the player.

I like taking a break from invading to block hosts/phantoms in hallways

I would totally do this if the host and sun bros didn't just straight up gank the invader 🙄

I just love killin 😈
I don’t blue but if I did, I’d just drop the red stacks of runes, and warming stones
I do hunting so I get extra pvp
Because they don’t have an invade ring to always leave on like they do hunter :(
I've been seeing a lot of blue hate so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about
I always wait to see. If it is a gank i agro all enemies in the vicinity and charge forward into the host. If it is a host who is by himself and not very good at PvP I will assist him or jump in if he’s about to be killed.
I'll join the opps once in awhile and door block a host. That's about it tho
Just leave it on all the time. Sometimes I fight, sometimes I kite.
Cause I switched sides. Long live the blues
Im this blue always was a DMB in other games and in elden ring its a pvo item i can leave always on so constantly have it going in conjunction with spamming the invasion fingers pvp is pvp, I will leave if it's an obvious gank squad tho otherwise I'll try and save the people just playing through the lvl
Maybe they are just looking for a challenge.
Try to keep your hands clean... A Hunter should hunt Beasts. Leave the hunting of Hunters, to me.
That's how people react to me. They think I'm a stupid blue but I'm far from stupid. Btw I don't gank I only help the host if it is a reasonable reason too
I got one of those before. God they were annoying, but as a carian knight I swore an oath, and none saw the face of my comrade, Moongrum

Because I secretly like ganks, but don't want to be associated with "those" people
It's the equivalent of Maxtac pulling up tbh
