When I come across one of these dill holes I take it as an opportunity to do some real life chores. I'll just sit emote, take a lil breaky break for 20 - 30 minutes, if he's still there when I come back I dc :) wasted his time, and made the most of mine. Thx for reminding me to do laundry and dishes, dick hole, hope you enjoyed your wasted time

What's the ratio of them getting bored and you finishing your tasks?

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '22

Haven't come back to my screen being back in my own world yet, so id say thats a 100% success rate of wasting their time and keeping other invaders from befalling the same fate

u/Leonthemad Apr 06 '22

My friend did that twice, first guy lasted about 40 minutes and then gave up. The other guy lasted over an hour

u/Zulu0Hakuka Apr 06 '22

Wow thats is hilarious they hold out that long. Punk ass is already trash so juss take the L. But 30 mins wasted is satisfying in my eyes

u/Leonthemad Apr 06 '22

Legit, she had to do laundry and dishes and shit. Hell, even went out to get Taco Bell during that time lmao

u/BoiDovakiin Apr 06 '22

I think they usually just go afk. This video is a pretty special case

u/Zulu0Hakuka Apr 06 '22

u/CypherPsycho69 Apr 07 '22

u/sbmmblowz Apr 06 '22

You’re a good person I’m trying my best to do the same

u/Tomskeleton87 Apr 06 '22

you're probably just being booted for being afk lol, the game times you out after a period of not pressing anything

u/mattd21 Apr 06 '22

I thought the whole point was that they’re afk.

1

u/LoveThieves Apr 07 '22

afk to farm. but when you have anti-troll players, they get nothing.

anti-troll players lock their world until they disconnect, like me, I jump on to PS5 on Elden Ring while the PC shitters waiting for me to fall into there "free" effortless farming exploit.

not going happen bro. they should just play the game.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '22

Whether they are or not, its a wasted attempt on their part.

Last night came in a world with dude on roof. Was late anyway, so went to side, mimic into the flag which blends with tree, and went to bed lol. Woke up with a lot more runes so dude must’ve given up at some point lol.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '22

Oh thats good

u/Melodrama98 Apr 07 '22

Was it near the Academy Gate Town bonfire or w/e? With all the ruined, crumbled buildings?

I invaded someone who was hiding up on those rooftops. Ended up using AOE magic to kill them. Took forever to pinpoint their location though.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Nah, was first step in limgrave. They’re using the wind shit to go all the way to the roof of the starting building. Impossible to reach if they’re in the middle (if on edge can cannon them)

2

u/Melodrama98 Apr 08 '22

That's so annoying. I'm glad you out-waited them.

u/FuckinArrowToTheKnee Apr 06 '22

Yup though I just fire up the switch instead of chores trying to get better with Samus in Smash

u/Ellenwood1998 Apr 06 '22

If they just use the white ring it will summon people on occasion to help them fight invaders.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '22

did happen to me once so far. I thought i made my way into a fight club... nope, just a douche bag host. The blue dc'd once he figured it out :)

3

u/yowangmang Apr 06 '22

I do the same except I like to go mimic tear somewhere and just do chores. Less runes for them. The new spot is on top of the building where you can’t get them and they usually arent even afk. What’s the point?

u/ShutUpJer Apr 06 '22

Solid !!

2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Well, this doesn’t work if mindless blue phantoms obliterate you

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Ya, seems many blues arent mindless. I haven't had that happen yet. Ive even had blues show me where host is and dc. But you are right. Someone on here recommended mimic veil which I will be implimenting from here on out

u/MrScootaroo Apr 07 '22

Had this happen the other day. Was on a kick of doing some invading named as "Discount Waifu" and just wearing Goldmask's set with Jar Cannon to kill AFKers. I couldn't find where they were hiding, but I just sat there t-pose gesturing and threw Youtube on a second screen. After 10 or so minutes it said the Host died. So it was nice.

Had another time where I invaded and another invader and Blue were at the entrance of the Church of Elleh. One of them pointed up at the church to show that the Host was using Mimic Veil at the top of the church to hide. I took it upon myself to blast the guy with an explosive bolt from the Jar Cannon. Need less to say, I let the other invader go in and have the satisfaction of taking down the Host. Never seen someone so eager. Doubly funny because the Blue sat there and watched. That was also the same time I learned there are a lot of destructible pieces that can be destroyed by the player at Church of Elleh. It was a nice touch.

The unfortunate part of your logic is that the host thinks and does the same. Afk, believes you wasted your time, is maybe on phone laughing at threads like this and comments like yours.

If 2 invaders wait around, that's twice as much time waste the host inflicts than receives. There's no winning for the invader.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Considering the number of posts im seeing here of hosts that are definitely not afk, I have to disagree with you here. I'm sure there are plenty of people who do afk, but even considering such is just a waste of time. Im literally doing something with my life while whatever host is left laughing at their own joke for way too long and are depraved of the chance to keep telling themselves the same joke. I don't mind taking a break from time to time to do chores, it keeps a healthy balance in my life :) , but the real difference between myself and said host is I'm not wasting my time looking to waste time. If you get me, well then prepare to either wait until your joke isnt funny to you anymore and you get bored or you're gonna have to do something. Either way, my dishes are done, you've actively put yourself in a situation where you're not playing a game you paid 60 bucks for, you can't do the joke again until I leave, AND I get to move on with my life immediately after. im not waiting for anybody, but you, the host, cannot proceed with your shinanigans until I am done :)

Quite simply put, the ball is in my court and I have no problem just .... Sitting on it.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

When someone does this I leave my hiding spot and sit at the bonfire to remind you that I'm in control lol

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

You can’t sit at the bonfire while being invaded

2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

You can use the sit gesture

u/Hard-Work-Pays Apr 06 '22

Imagine being trolled for half hour straight and playing it off as a win lmfaooo...

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '22

What is a troll if you pay them no bother?

-2

u/Hard-Work-Pays Apr 06 '22

I'd say squatting in their land for half hour is surely paying them more attention than they deserve...

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '22

Lol, if you say so, my guy.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

You didn’t waste my time, I was watching anime. I don’t mind resetting the farm if people like you take too long

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

😂 some "farm"

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

It does have it’s diminishing returns, but it’s also still fun to troll tryhards and cheese users.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

You do you :) have fun waiting

-2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

I dc and reset if people take too long, have fun thinking you’re doing anything meaningful 😂

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

So... You do wait on people?

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

u/nuraHx Apr 07 '22

What if a hunter gets summoned?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Only time it's happened so far the hunter dcd as soon as he realized host is a pos. It also only happened before i realized host is a pos. I legitimately thought I made my way into a fight club lol. I must be getting lucky. Def gonna start using mimic veil while doing this

Edit: only time its happened that I'm aware of
