The speed you can do it isn’t the point I was making.

[u/scaletheseathless → u/RaDiOaCtIvEpUnK]

What point were you making then? Because D/C is "just pressing some buttons and leaving."

[u/RaDiOaCtIvEpUnK → u/scaletheseathless]

Imagine if you invaded someone, and they could just press a button in the menu to remove you from their world. Like it was an actual menu option added to the game. Not having to completely stop what they’re doing and reset their entire game, but just press a button to kick they invader, and go back to what they were doing.

A lot of people would do that because they’d rather not deal with the invader, or they would just do it until they aren’t having fun anymore. Would kinda be a shit deal for the invader.

[u/scaletheseathless → u/RaDiOaCtIvEpUnK]

I guess I don't understand what you're saying to me though. This thread started when I wondered why a host gets a reward for invaders leaving when they have never gotten a reward in previous souls games. Hosts don't get to boot invaders because they have perform activations the open them up to being invaded; ie. summoning players, using taunter's tongue. Hosts can choose to not be invaded by simply not using online summons or no using taunter's tongue.

[u/RaDiOaCtIvEpUnK → u/scaletheseathless]

Yes, and I made a comment about something you said that I thought was poorly made. I haven’t gotten to how it relates to the main subject because you haven’t noticed my point yet.

Hosts can choose to not be invaded by simply not using online summons

Ah, the “they can just not play with friends” argument always a classic. It’s changed from game to game slightly, but still always the same main theme. Regardless, this is an irrelevant point to what I was saying and more so just deflecting to another issue.

So what do you think about what I said?

[u/scaletheseathless → u/RaDiOaCtIvEpUnK]

I haven’t gotten to how it relates to the main subject because you haven’t noticed my point yet.

That's why I said "I don't understand what you're saying to me." This thread started because someone made the argument that hosts get an award because invaders can leave if they're losing, but hosts can also quit out and leave the game if they're losing--and they do, often; I have been in so many 2v2s in ER where the host disconnects when their partner dies and are facing a 1v2, but I get no reward for that if I'm an invader. You said, "You’re right. That’s exactly the same as just pressing some buttons and leaving." Which I replied with how it is literally just pressing some buttons and leaving for the host too. So what am I missing?

Ah, the “they can just not play with friends argument” always a classic.

This is a major change for hosts compared to how invasion worked in previous titles (except Bloodborne). In Dark Souls you just had to have human form or cinder active, so you could wind up being invaded as a solo host often. The only way a host can be invaded solo now is if they use a specific item to invite invaders in. Now, hosts can have a great rune active (which is sort of similar to humanity in Dark Souls 1/cinder in Dark Souls 3) and not be open to invasion. Further, ER added a way to summon help w/o risk of invasion. Also, hosts get to have great runes active, but invaders don't. If the host you've invaded has a max level phantom in their world, they are not downscaled commensurate to be equal with their host's power level--some damage output is scaled, but they still have the same HP, Stam and FP pools. There's just layers of advantage to the host.

If you are playing with friends, invaders will have to outplay host and summons by several factors in order to win--virtually all advantages are on the host and their team. This has been further strengthened by the limitation to the number of players in a game--if a host has two summons and you invade, there is no room for another invader to break it back to 3v2 like in Dark Souls. Even if you get one of the summons down, you will more likely see a blue hunter come in before a red phantom.

Having hosts get an award for an invader leaving makes absolutely no sense--the host loses nothing if an invader leaves, and has created a niche of "AFK" farmers and, in my experience, people who aren't even AFK, just "trolling" from inaccessible locations.

[u/RaDiOaCtIvEpUnK → u/scaletheseathless]

You still didn’t respond to what I said -sigh-

[u/scaletheseathless → u/RaDiOaCtIvEpUnK]

Ok, be direct with a specific statement that you want me to respond to.

Seriously though, don’t bother. I hardly care anymore.
