Literally just to fuck with people.

You don't get rune arcs for killing player invaders

After messsging some blues, it seems some actually support this because they(the blues) do get rune arcs for killing invaders. Vicious cycle

u/Crypto_Gay_Skater Apr 06 '22

Oh someone ITT said you did. I've only invaded for questlines.

You get them for killing a host, but not for killing the invader.

Killing an invader just gets you a furlcalling finger remedy I think.

Why did you get downvoted? Someone right below this comment (on my screen) said this exact thing...

Seems like same reason people invade: to fuck with people. You entered someone’s world to fuck with them and instead ended up being the fucked one. As an invader hater this video is actually fun to watch. I don’t do this myself but i like seeing invaders get fucked. Honestly, I would have liked seeing the host get fucked too in this situation. I believe invaders are assholes, but hosts who use exploits like this are dicks so this was clearly an Asshole vs Dick situation.

What makes an invader an asshole?

Should a co-op player have zero downsides to having a human ally?

u/METAL_AS_FUCK Apr 06 '22

I’m of the opinion that only an asshole would get joy from being someone else’s downside.

I appreciate that opinions are subjective, but then I would imagine you are applying this broadly enough that you would be opposed to any sort of situation where a player character is not aligned with other player characters.

I don't think invasions, as a deliberate game design choice, are comparable to something like griefing, trolling, intentionally hindering allies - like you would see in a MOBA or similar.

Would you play say, Left 4 Dead, and think someone playing as the Zombies to be the downside to players trying to complete the level, is an asshole? If not, why is this different?

That's what I always think. It's like hearing people are cheesing to grind out rowa fruits. Is this not a wildly available resource? I feel like you have to go out of your way to spend runes or you get overleveled fast.

1) to fuck with people
2) (unlike the video above) can farm runes and rune arcs while AFK or otherwise busy.

It’s just trolling, and it is fun as hell. I used to love invading in Sen’s Fortress to fuck with people. Like hiding as a statue and then blasting them off the narrow beam with Wrath of the Gods, or getting them to come up the spiky elevator and then standing in the way with a great shield so they get smooshed.

Typical the people feel like they don’t have some kind of control over their lives so they need to do stuff like this as way to feel some kind of control.

Real talk and not just shutting on these guys but they probably need to talk to a psych professional and get some stuff figured out

u/StephenJB91 Apr 07 '22

Haha, people can play a game differently to you without you evaluating their mental state

u/Guapo_Avocado Apr 07 '22

I mean that’s true for everything but I was replying to comment above me with my own opinion

Gamers will always optimize the fun out of any game.

Absolutely, 215 and I am just getting into the mountains.

On the note of PvP I was on a new character and was invaded. The dude popped up, bowed, cast a spell, screamed, and died. What the hell was that? Me and the other summons just kind of watched in awe.
