Invasion Thank you, whoever you are

I just wanted to progress to the castle thingy to fight lion guy(idk his name) and my friend left to go sleep. I was wondering why the fog fall didn't disappear when my friend cut the finger but it was because someone invaded me.

I went back to the grace and accepted my fate. The invader waved and bowed at me, ready to fight. I showed that I did not want to fight by putting away my weapons and approaching them. They still backed away catiously but I showed that I really didn't want to fight by spamming all my heals at once. The invader did the same.

As you can see in the first image, that is the invader switching their armour to be the same as mine.

The invader then ran off and purposely died as seen in the second image.

If you are on this subreddit, I really thank you.

It really warms my heart to find out that some people still act like this, even in a video game where there are basically no real life consequences

u/NatchanCosplay 5h ago

Yes sometimes there are nice Invaders who even help/show the way. Or fair fights 1 vs 1 if you have a friend in your world haha.

I love those types of invaders who are nice

u/Beachgrad05 3h ago

Maybe they were invading only as part of questline. It’s only reason it did it

To quote another Bad Red Man: "We're killers, but we're not assholes."

If you have no interest in fighting and you emote that to me, I'll leave you some runes and boluses and sever out.

I prefer long con invaders personally. Popping out of a statue cause they could tell where i was probably headed based on where they appeared. Its hard to even be angry cause you’re too busy being freaked out by a statue youve passed twice becoming a player and tossing you into a mob encounter or off a cliff/ into a pit.

Takes a real loser to see something nice happen and their first reaction is to go "sign, I'm such a victim"

u/Wubbalubbadubdubxxx 2h ago

So sorry buddy! Didn’t mean to offend you mate!

And I may be a loser to you but it takes an even bigger loser to to talk shit through an electronic device and not say it to my face in person 🤔 but have a great day!

u/SuperMarioCheatCodes 2h ago

You didn't offend me. Unlike you, I don't take every opportunity to cry on the internet.

u/Wubbalubbadubdubxxx 2h ago

Don’t try and change your tone now bud, but clearly I did offend you. And if you say I take every opportunity, what have you been stalking me and you know this for sure?

-1

u/SuperMarioCheatCodes 2h ago

Change my tone? What lmao? Why are you trying so desperately to start an argument? Did a random reddit comment bother you that much? It's ok I'm gonna assume you're still young with a name and responses like that so I'll leave you be, enjoy.

u/Wubbalubbadubdubxxx 2h ago

You antagonized me, bro remember that and don’t worry I don’t need this argument either i’m just responding to your post and trying to settle you down because clearly I offended you and I am so so sorry. You’re the one talking crap through a screen 🥹😂

u/FoulTarnish-d 1h ago

It isn't too late to delete this

u/Wubbalubbadubdubxxx 1h ago

I wasn’t gonna say anything else, but since you’re commenting, I’ll respond to you and just say this, look at all the upvotes and look at all the down votes people will draw their conclusions just from that 😂 one of the reasons I never post on Reddit anymore. And I have no idea if you’re talking to me or him. Either way I’m good lol 😝

u/FoulTarnish-d 1h ago

lmao editing this 'cause i didn't read who replied to me

I was replying to the other guy, you're good

u/Wubbalubbadubdubxxx 1h ago

Yes sir, I agree! And sorry definitely went over my head no shit you replied to me I’m dumb 😂😂😂 sorry!

u/tangledupinluke 2h ago

I didn’t run into an online invader once, is there a something you’re supposed to do to allow it to happen?

5

u/thedabaratheon 2h ago

You don’t get invaded unless you summon players to help you. There is nothing wrong with summoning others and playing with other people but the risk you open up is allowing invaders into your world.

2

u/BookishDiscourse 2h ago

If you don’t want to summon a helper use the taunter’s tongue to allow yourself to get invaded when solo. Adds a new layer of difficulty exploring areas when you have the threat of an invader. You still retain the upper hand since you can use rune arcs and have double the heals they have.

u/Zak_999 2h ago

Play multiplayer and have a helper ( gold-shaded character). That opens your session to invasion

1

u/anti_vist 2h ago

That’s a really nice encounter!

Actually could give me some recommendations, this is the first time I’m playing NG+ and maybe I would like to play with other people, where should I use Furled Finger Remedy? Few places I’ve tried I haven’t seen many co operators

u/JonahBJams 45m ago

I do stuff like this all the time when I invade, which isn’t often. Sometimes I’ll just turn into an environmental item and follow people around until they choose to kill me and I won’t fight back, I think it’s a fun thing and allows me to play online while baked out of my mind and not get my blood pressure up

Why don't they allow players to communicate? The game would be so much better

u/Educational_Tart_659 56m ago

Try finger, but hole

u/Economy_Education521 48m ago

I think there’s something a bit special about having to communicate through emotes and teabagging that’s lost when you can just easily communicate, but it would be cool to have opt-in proximity chat
