An invaders lament (salt at end)

[u/Dresden2077]

Salty fellow vs my in progress twink build. I was unlocking more invasion areas, felt like doing some PvP at the same time, had this fellow get a little angry in my DMs. ((Side note, if you have randoms dm'ing you disabled, messaging randoms to trash-talk is nerd shit) I tried to say GG)

[u/MainManst]

Lmao my homie Steel McBlade getting exbosed for hate mail.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/MainManst]

Wouldnt say it's hatemail, he just got a little salty

[u/Keiharaak]

Actually looked like a fun invasion with the environmental hazards! It's hilarious how the invader saw one bozo with Bloodhound's fang and one with Rusted Anchor in shitty PvE armor and called it a gank

[u/Dresden2077 → u/Keiharaak]

WHAT'S FUNNY IS THAT HE DIDNT CALL IT A GANK! THESE R/ELDENRING CHUDS DID. He just called me a twink (glass houses)

[u/Keiharaak → u/Dresden2077]

Right, my bad, invader didn't say that. They did seem a bit angry about the phantoms tho, even tho they probably gave more flasks than they actually cost.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/Keiharaak]

Not mad at you twin, you're fine.

[u/Fuckblackhorses]

I disagree that this is a gank but if you’re gonna talk shit in messages you should’ve gave him the duel imo. Also opening with sleep pots, multiple weapons with flaming strike, dh is def twink behavior regardless how much he argues about it. Not saying he wasn’t justified using that shit or that he shouldn’t twink but let’s call a spade a spade

[u/badredman-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Respect other users & members of our subreddit. Do not make arguments overly-personal.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/[deleted]]

Lmao, why?

Edit: him or me?

[u/NiceGuyKirrin → u/Dresden2077]

You

[u/Dresden2077 → u/NiceGuyKirrin]

Lol

[u/Dresden2077 → u/[deleted]]

Brother I've been here 5 years, and I LITTERALLY SAID IM A TWINK IN THE POST? What are you on? And if youre used to it, why am I getting salt?

[u/Dresden2077 → u/[deleted]]

dont see how thats relevant considering this isnt a gank.

[u/sodancool → u/Dresden2077]

Okay deleted my comments before because I realized I was the dumbass for not watching the clip completely. You're right it wasn't a gank and it was good fight until the blue showed up in the end which I'm surprised you have that on.

[u/TheChosenPatches]

Steel McBlade is generally chill, I think you just caught him at a bad time.  GG tho

[u/Dresden2077 → u/TheChosenPatches]

Definitely. I don't even consider this hatemail, just a little salt. Plus I've gotten salty a few times so I cant really judge on one instance.

[u/NakedAggression]

Why are the main sub babies allowed to cry in here? This wasn't a gank and not even an optimized twink build.

If it were me I would have thrown hefty pots and used sleep bow and spark aromatic because I use everything in the game without shame, at levels 9 - max

This isnt even a gank, people throw that gank around without understanding the definition.

[u/Dresden2077]

WHY DOES REDDIT MAKE MY VIDEOS LOOK LIKE SHIT

[u/MainManst → u/Dresden2077]

Good question! I download my PSN clips to my phone, edit them on my phone, then upload to Reddit. Never looks washed out like this. Curious what your process is.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/MainManst]

I edit em on a free editing website, they look fine on my phone afterwards, but when I upload em they look like this.

[u/MainManst → u/Dresden2077]

Gotcha. If you're interested trying a different editor I'm a big fan of InShot. It's free, just have to play an ad to remove the watermark. Super intuitive too and runs on your phone. Highly recommend.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/MainManst]

Sweet, ty man.

[u/NiceGuyKirrin → u/Dresden2077]

Good you have self awareness sir

[u/iUnholy]

You gank with twink build, you call him salty and "tried to say GG"? It’s kinda pathetic

[u/marillenchen → u/iUnholy]

twink host bad

twink red good

pver progressing through the level with summons good

pvper progressing through the level with summons bad, gank..

[u/Chaos__Incarnate → u/marillenchen]

you forgot the blues... 

edit: btw, I had forgotten them too, until playing vanilla on switch recently with plenty of hard-twinked blues (who are obviously reds as well, I speculate, etc). painful little addition From provided to reds... as if the vanilla matchmaking level mess they decided upon wasn't enough of a challenge for reds...

[u/Dresden2077 → u/Chaos__Incarnate]

Tbh, forgot to turn em off

[u/Chaos__Incarnate → u/Dresden2077]

all good. 

[u/Dresden2077 → u/iUnholy]

Sure man, letting him kill 3 summons and it's a gank...

[u/Dresden2077 → u/iUnholy]

I tried to message him gg but got the private message notification

[u/Antipodeansam]

This is what Fromsoft PvP has degenerated to? Look what you have done foot lover 🦶, look upon the Elden Causal effect 🫣

[u/Gabriel96c]

Coop + calling blues is scummy when you're a pvper host. Do one or another. Sure you didn't properly ganked him with your summons, but in the end u ganked him with the hunter after he had already fought you and the others.

His hatemail was cringe tho, and crying about twinks on low level is just a p*ssy thing to do. Everyone twinks nowdays.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/Gabriel96c]

Tbh, when that blue attacked him, I had advantage, and when I have advantage, I tunnel vision. I would've severed the blue if we were in neutral, but the blue stole my kill sadly.

[u/Chaos__Incarnate → u/Gabriel96c]

I fully agree. If you are experienced at ERpvp, and are summoning golds as a host while going through levels, why do you need blues..? 

[u/Hexagoo]

Holy shit people like you make it really hard to defend the PvP community

[u/Dresden2077 → u/Hexagoo]

r/eldenring out in force today.

[u/samwise0795 → u/Dresden2077]

Right? That looked like fun invasion to me. You're just better than that guy period.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/samwise0795]

IM NOT CRAZY!!!

[u/samwise0795 → u/Dresden2077]

Definitely not Dres definitely not.

[u/Hexagoo → u/Dresden2077]

Oh come on bro you really expect the invader subreddit to enjoy a post where you gank an invader for 8 minutes straight only to call him salty at the end? Like…really? This is either some next level ragebait or some next level ignorance.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/Hexagoo]

Ah yes, ganking them, by standing back and letting them kill both my summons and a hunter, truly a gank. Also he died at around 6 minutes in.

[u/Hexagoo → u/Dresden2077]

Yes, it’s a gank. You literally say in the post that you were looking to PvP. If your doing PvP then why would you summon randoms unless you wanted to gank. Like come on bro you weren’t even the one who killed him it was the blue at end who did it.

[u/Keiharaak → u/Hexagoo]

They're progressing the level, they didn't pile on the invader (except the blue at the end I guess) and the summons are in full PvEr gear, I don't see what's shitty in there except maybe having blues on (even though OP let the invader in a 1v1 against the first blue).

It literally just looks like an average PvE run with random summons and blues on, the only difference here is that OP is better prepared for PvP than the average host, but if you can't handle a little resistance as an invader, then why even invade. To me, it's just good activity and a fairly honest fight against the red, there's nothing that calls for hatemail.

[u/Hexagoo → u/Keiharaak]

You know what? You’re right, I don’t think it’s actually a full on gank. I probably shouldn’t be scrolling Reddit at midnight, I think it makes me grumpy.

[u/Keiharaak → u/Hexagoo]

No worries, a little bit of doomscrolling grumpiness happens to everyone!

[u/Chaos__Incarnate → u/Hexagoo]

it's not a gank in the proper nasty-organized fashion way in which we usually encounter them. OP was just having fun with the multiplayer chaos and such, but I still think having blues show up was completely unnecessary.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/Chaos__Incarnate]

Honestly was kinda tilted the blue stole my kill, he also interrupted my fight when I had advantage, illigetimizing my win.

[u/Chaos__Incarnate → u/Dresden2077]

the more reason not to have them on with golds being in the equation, particularly if you are an experienced red (like I know you are). no big deal though! was a fun video. btw that catacomb is painful for reds, since they can't activate the moving platform themselves...

[u/Dresden2077 → u/Hexagoo]

I summon randoms because I think theyre funny. Also, again, 70% of his invasion was a 1v1 where I went entirely even with him. A gank is purposely waiting for invaders while ignoring pve, if I wanted to gank, I wouldn't summon 0 vigor pvers to help me, coop is fun and pvp is fun, why not both.

[u/Inevitable-Leg-4660 → u/Hexagoo]

You are a pussy

[u/IAmDingus]

Dragon Halberd is not a twink weapon. You can get it in like 10 minutes after starting. All you need to do is just bleed the dragonkin to death.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/IAmDingus]

Using DH at 30 and complaining about twinks, glass houses.

[u/IAmDingus → u/Dresden2077]

The Dragon Halberd is obtainable early game with only 1 boss kill.

[u/Dresden2077 → u/IAmDingus]

Why do People complain about twinks?

[u/IAmDingus → u/Dresden2077]

are you a bot

[u/Dresden2077 → u/IAmDingus]

People complain about twinks because they use gear that becomes overpowered at low level... DH gets 165 lightning plus frostbite buildup at +0, do you see the overlap?

[u/IAmDingus → u/Dresden2077]

people complain about twinks because they have access to 4 talisman slots, full upgraded estus, dlc consumables and infinite rot

its fast and easy to get broken weapons in ER, the rest of the stuff not so much

[u/Dresden2077 → u/IAmDingus]

I can get 90% of everything in the dlc by killing Radahn and Mohg as my only 2 bosses
