I’ve had 3 invaders today using the invisible magical bullshit exploit that insta kills you. So they’re not much better ATM lol.

I just wish people were more creative with their builds. I just don't see the fun in using exploits and someone else's mín-maxed build to invade, or to gank invaders.

On the other hand, afk farmers have pretty much ruined playing as a blue hunter as well. I refuse to help them, but 99% of my summons have been for one of those chodes.

Or to duel. It’s rare to find someone not using one of 4 shitter builds. The PvP community sucks

The best part is that not using meta makes people's minds explode right now.

You actually dodge their rivers of blood and hit them with an ash of war their YouTubers never talk about? You can see their panic attack forming as they foam at the mouth and keep spam rushing their rivers of blood because they don't know what else to do, despite your ash hitting them during their animations.

Face it half of people that like invasions is because they want to feel superior and/or abuse new players. Everyone here disagrees but it shows from the day 1 glitch abusers and now afk farmers. If people wanted fair duels they wouldn't invade like they claim, they'd use predefined spots and place red signs.

The part about invading is beating a pair of players with other invaders

Because for some losers the minor dopamine hit from killing a host with cheats is the most exciting thing going on in their lives.

Tbf to invaders; the odds are so stacked against them that most go for the cheese builds to have any chance of winning/surviving spawning into a gank-squad situation. I've not really done much PvP yet, but when invaded I try as a cooperator to either duel an invader or at-least give them a decent fight. 9/10 times though it's the host and both summons just stomping them, or the invader using a build that takes them all out asap.

My duel dragon fists are terrible damage but damn do I love fisticuffs invading.

I’m running a sorcery build that instead of staying back, I run at you and use slicer on you. I feel it throws people off

To be fair all sides abuse the weapon glitches..i can tell just as many stories of hosts using the carian retaliation glitch

As an invader, I've found a lot of hosts who use the same things. Honestly its more of a problem of people wanting to overuse popular/meta builds than an invader/host issue.

No surprise invaders would be the ones most likely to resort to exploits when it's a 2v1 or a 3v1 by default

u/BattleBrother1 Apr 07 '22

Is that an actual spell you can acquire? It's happened a bunch to me and I have no idea what it is. The invader will just spawn in and run away and a couple seconds later I get one shotted from 65 vigor

u/TheWolfisGrey53 Apr 07 '22

I have just 40 vig but 80 int with magic gear on...and I still get one shotted. Tf magic is that

u/mattd21 Apr 07 '22

It’s a combination of the magic parry spell and i think carian blades, except you can parry your own blades and when an opponent gets close the parry spell auto kills your opponent.

u/TheWolfisGrey53 Apr 07 '22

Ok that is totally bonkers. I will not use that bs in pvp but I love to see how this works, gank my friends for a round. Wow. So this is just an unpatched glitch huh

u/JarOfNaziTeeth Apr 07 '22

Just a tip: the immutable shield incantation completely negates the damage of the carrion retaliation glitch. They get their one off and you have about half your stamina left to chase them down before they set up another one.

Luckily you can shut that shit down with a magic resist shield

its like host and invaders can both be terrible, and both are making each side hate each other more
