A message to FromSoft, from a guy who has been invading since Demon's Souls on PS3:
You cannot stop me; not now, not ever.
Here is a list of things you've tried so far, which have not worked to deter me. In fact they've only made me harder, erm I mean stronger.
* I, as an invader, am always out-numbered: guaranteed 2v1, most often 3v1- it matters not. I laugh at your "throw more bodies at the problem" mentality as the grave I've dug for hosts and their cooperators is bottomless. The extra bodies merely serve my flasks. * I, as an invader, do not care that my souls have been dropped at the back of the map because I died invading someone else's world. Those 90k were infinitesimal and I'll make them back with the next 26 consecutive kills on hosts and their cooperators. * I, as an invader, scoff at the fact hosts 'pick up where they left off' after ALT+F4'ing Elden Ring once I've killed their carries in front of them. This only boosts my ego further. * I, as an invader, can't get enough of the hunters you've willingly led to the slaughter. So what if their hosts are so trash at this game that 2 cooperators weren't enough? Throw another body in the grave and add another sip to my flasks. * I, as an invader, adore the meta-weapon-art-crutching that causes hosts and their cooperators to fall into predictable patterns of attack. * I, as an invader, SIMPLY CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THE WATERED DOWN AI OF THE MOBS when I invade. Why would the pests bother attacking when they can simply walk around the host, looking at him like he's got candy for them? It matters not, they all die in the end. * I, as an invader, adore how you spawn me 500 miles from the host. I care not if you spawn me outside the walls of Castle Sol, I'll put on my nikes and sprint up that host's dark moon so fast he'll be forced to say "NANI!?" * I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting, as you've given invaders so many disadvantages it is impossible to keep up.
As you can see, none of the above deters me- I've accumulated over 500 rune arcs across multiple invaders ranging from SL45 to SL160.
Here are some things you could try, but I can assure you they also will not work:
* Force invaders down to 1hp at the start of each invasion - So what, I'll still win 80% of my invasions. * Ban my steam account - So what, I'll buy another. * Ban my computer's hardware profile - So what, I'll buy another computer. * Range ban my ISP's subnet - So what, I'll sign a new ISP contract. * Disallow multiplayer from my state - So what, I'll buy a new house and move. * Disallow multiplayer in my country - So what, I'll immigrate to Japan and bring the fight to your plebians on your home turf. * Send a Black Knife Assassin to kill me - I WILL BECOME THE EMBODIMENT OF A VENGEFUL SPIRIT AND SO HELP ME I'LL INVADE FROM THE AFTER LIFE.
FromSoft, as you can see, you cannot deter us. Your resistance only strengthens our resolve.
To that end maybe let off a little bit so I don't have to go so hard on people to sustain my hard, I mean strong, nature.

That said why the fuck do they keep gimping invaders? Bitch ass niggas complaining should learn to cope that Invasions are a natural equalizer to the difficulty they've chosen to break in half by Co-oping

few warriors have reached this level of based. well done OP
Me, my summons and the blue I summon with the ring will just spam RoB on you and then two of us will spam point down and the other two will teabag you and you will be forced to watch it all for the next 10 seconds in shame

I use that headpiece with Yura's chestpiece and Land of Reeds hands and feet. Looks great.

invaders are fags who hide behind enemies >* I, as an invader, SIMPLY CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THE WATERED DOWN AI OF THE MOBS when I invade. Why would the pests bother attacking when they can simply walk around the host, looking at him like he's got candy for them? It matters not, they all die in the end. See how much OP is seething because his little bitch pussy tactics aren't working for him? he's a faggot

>do jolly co-op >standing next to fog gate >some retard invades >gets instantly shut down by 3 people spamming spells at him >enter fog gate Wow that seemed fun for him. What a playstyle to build your entire personality around
Camden Richardson
One invader with the siluria tree invaded once at rykard when I was doing co-op and I had the serpent hunter and a shield on and I never actually play with it on besides for rykard and I stomped him pretty good just solo, then I went on to help the host beat rykard. Good times all around
Joseph Miller
do fromdrones really?
Owen Thompson
>play Nioh 2 instead and have actual good combat, enemies, level design, customization, and co-op without sweaty clownsuiting PvP-ers if Team Ninja ever made a "western Nioh" FromSoft would go bankrunpt unless the made another Armored Core
based mentally ill chad. keep fucking over those coop babies
Chase Garcia
I've gotten pretty good at invading now. Win over 50% of the time now, I think, with non op shit(vs co opers that likely have op shit). If I use my arcane build then it's 80%+. I hate hosts who absolutely refuse to leave. But after starting a taunted tongue playthrough, I guess I understand the trauma when invaded by end game item twinks. But still, it's 2-3 vs 1.
The worst invasions was a guy who was tainted toungueing who the first time was just running away, trying to summon. And when he kind me he gave me a smug emote and tbag. I invade him a couple more times and both times when he died or was close to dying, he DCed. I don't understand these people's mentalities? What do they lose? Their fragile ego?
Jose Powell
you forgot that the host is by default likely to be 20-30 levels above you and also gets a rune arc which gives him 40 extra levels
Lincoln Walker
personally i've always thought appealing to people whining about invaders hurt the concept of souls multiplayer in the long run. no matter how many restrictions fromsoft places on the player griefers and gankers will always find a way to survive. so we end up with a more restrictive system but with more eager assholes to fuck you in the ass. oh and don't get me wrong, OP, i salute your efforts.
It's about not giving you the satisfaction of a win. It's as simple as that.
Mason Torres
But they still lost. All that happens is I don't get a rune arc Pretty fucking childish either way.
Jaxon Smith
sorry, i had to use something to make this awful copy pasta bait work
Landon Sullivan
No they didn't, they didn't get a "You Died" screen so they didn't lose.
Kevin Wood
players like this are my favorite people to waste the time and test the patience of
Oliver Turner
An ALT+F4 is worth more than any number of runes. It is the host silently admitting that they are inferior to me in every way.
Mason Sullivan
Kek, pathetic A bit of a blog post, but what I hate is that my little brother is also a sore loser and I don't see it changing anytime soon
Caleb Long
This. You cannot convince me otherwise that the reason hosts alt+f4 is their wife's boyfriend demanding that they watch their woman getting plowed NOW.
Connor Jenkins
Do you guys watch streamers? I don't get how chasethebro destroys everyone so calmly. I guess his strategy if it's a competent gank squad is to switch to bhs spears, but still, majority of the time he stomps gankers with a 95%+ win ratio. Do I have to learn to menu swap to get that good?
Juan Powell
I've seen just as many invaders alt+f4 as I have hosts who got invaded. Invaders take a loss in a 2-on-1 as a personal assault to their ego.
Anthony Long
I'm not reading all that
Parker Nguyen
He's a hardcore autist that played nothing but dark souls games for the past decade, he better be good at it

Die to a gank squad again OP?
Ethan Butler
I get immense satisfaction from forcing them to pull the plug because they've literally ragequit our battle
Cooper Bailey
Nioh is good but it cannot be kino until they hire new level and narrative designers, and I guess new artists for the levels as well. Everything visually is like MEGA BLOKS to Lego
Justin Miller
I despise PVP niggers but you are absolutely unfathomably based
>A message to FromSoft, So e-mail it to them instead of posting it here, faggot.
Brayden Rodriguez
Is this mental illness?
Austin Diaz
>2022 Yea Forums absolutely seethes and malds at invaders these days which is it: zoomers being shit at games, or fanboys needing to have some way of excusing why this part of the game is terribly designed, or both?
Eli Turner
no please stop you're just stubborn and it's getting worse for the rest of us if nobody invaded, they would recognize invaders had been neutered to the point of not being played, and then try and incentivize it and make it worth doing they could fix it
Asher Barnes
I hope the next game has no invading so we can have more fun and wacky weapons.
Nathaniel Barnes
>switch off giant's hunt to fun and wacky weapon art that does fun and wacky things >it does zero fucking damage for how long it takes to cast and is easily staggered out of which is a problem when all the bosses are ice skating around your character who's trapped in place while it's coming out >switch back to giant hunt they need to fucking fix how fucking useless all the wacky stuff is in the first place

>only 4 player coop I want to be OP but the regression in multiplayer just kills my motivation to learn and get good. I was spoiled by das 3.

Nope. We invaders are the Dungeaters of the From world. They can shit on us all they want but will continue eating it and being loathsome while doing it.
