This is hate speech

>>724206903 (OP)
now that's fucking funny

Kino

cant even be mad about that. thats just amazing

>>724206903 (OP)
Hate invaders. but this is cool.

>>724208057
FUCK HOSTS

>>724206903 (OP)
how? i thought you got kicked when host entered the boss room

Wait, couldn’t you cheese Malenia with this?

Enter fog to spawn her. Die. Then go up here and just aim cannons at her starting position. Unless they did something to specifically prevent it, it should work. You can kill Commander Niall by shooting him with a bow through a hole in castle wall outside his arena. And you can kill Caelid Nox duo with cannon of Haima from up on cliff.

>>724206903 (OP)
Absolutely bastardry.
Amazing.

>>724208205
Probably seamless coop.
>>724208130
>radahn armor
>complete shitter
Many such cases.

>>724208130
Ok /v/ not even you can defend this one. He HAD to die there.

I do not understand why ppl think summon = ez free win
don't they realize that the boss GAINS health per summon
your essentially buffing the boss by summoning

>>724206903 (OP)
kino

>>724208130
>the host is a literal retard
idk how to feel about this, bullying a special person is never cool

>>724208996
>your essentially buffing the boss by summoning
>only 25%
you gain more than whatever extra health the boss gets

People need to experience the thrill of survival combat that matters. I will force it onto them if I have to.

>>724208996
Its based on the boss AI not being designed to handle two or three people at once.
So every person you add is disproportionately more powerful than any health buff they give the boss.
Especially if you have a mix between a melee and a caster team, where you can shred bosses at all distances together.

The only times I'd say that summoning is deleterious is giant, fairly easy HP sponge bosses like Rykard or Fire Giant.
Or if your coop partner is bad, I would not summon for Malenia or any of the DLC bosses. The chance that they die early means that any HP buff will make that fight unwinnable for you, if you needed that summon in the first place.

>>724209330
dont remember the gss having so much range

>>724209330
Pure ludokino

>>724209330
That was the best match I've ever seen.

You can't invade when the host is fighting the boss tho.

>>724208996
summoning tends to fuck up boss AI, it will randomly zoom back and forth and let you get away with so many more mistakes and panic rolling than if it was focused entirely on you
It also at minimum doubles your potential damage output, usually significantly more since there's a lot more damage windows while it focuses on the other guy
And it introduces the potential of carrying. Yeah sometimes you'll get a useless fuck who dies in 30 seconds, but sometimes you get someone that can just solo the boss while you only have to not die. If you do a lot of invading you will see a lot of these players, at the endgame fatrolling with 1200 HP and a greatshield that clearly got hard carried through literally every bossfight by summons. It might take a few tries, but if you get lucky with the phantom, it is literally an easy free win, someone else is straight up beating the boss for you, barely better than just handing the controller to someone else.

my submission

>>724209330
amazing

Anyone do seamless invasions? Are they still active?
I never got around to trying it back when it was new and people were kinda hype about it but they seem cool

>>724208996
It's still vastly easier. Nightreign makes bosses scale 100% more health per player and it's still a million times easier with a competent team because the other two just get free hits while the boss focuses on one guy. You feel it when a player isn't pulling their weight in terms of damage but Souls bosses seriously just aren't capable of fighting more than one player at a time no matter how many AoEs they give them.

I'm a Nightreign gamer

>>724209330
Holy shit the mindgames. Notice how the other guy didn't spam the black fireball but just used it as a psychological threat against arrow charging?

They're active but honestly they're ass, both as invader and as a player.
As a player, there's little to no timer, and there's no safe area besides the roundtable hold. You can beat a boss and instantly get invaded, you can get invaded the second your co-op bro warps to the roundtable, so the invader can't actually win, because when I die, my bro can't warp, and the invader can't get to them. This is why invading sucks, it happens all the fucking time when the party is split and you just have to leave. Most of the time you also just invade someone in a fucked up situation where they can't win so I just stomp them and don't even get a fight.

>>724206903 (OP)
no wonder the game run like shit, its rendering everything

"Fair" game rollkeks

>>724210470
>and there's no safe area besides the roundtable hold.
you can kill people in roundtable now
>and the invader can't get to them
the lynchpin allows teleporting to each victim separately

>>724206903 (OP)
Nice

Daily reminder that you can disable invasions in Seamless Coop.

>>724211941
>the lynchpin allows teleporting to each victim separately
why the fuck did no other invader use this we've had to alt+f4 so many times because my bro is in fuckin' limgrave getting some shit while the invader is stuck in the mountaintops
I have no excuse for myself not using it though I was just retarded
>you can kill people in roundtable now
I don't know how to feel about that, especially with the fucked up timer so you can't even upgrade your shit without having to fight some fucker off, but at least invasions can end properly now

What's wrong? Can't take a challenge that isn't pre-scripted?

>>724212687
Really sick.

Invasions are the best thing about souls games and I love being invaded. I love the stress and tension, fighting for my life against some tryhard.

Ultimately gear doesn't matter, skill does. They can come at you with all the stuff in the world, but if you can just parry them or knock them off a cliff, you win.

Being invaded in the undead burg by some tryhard with pursuers and backtabbing him off a ledge to his death was incredible. I always do everything I can to get invaded.

>>724209330
ANAKIN NO! I have the high ground!

is the dlc good yet?

>>724209889
Funny kill, but using a light great sword id gay

>>724209330
Ok now I'm intrigued. I always wrote off invading as a filler leftover mechanic but this is making me think. Invaders post more so I can evaluate if this is worth trying.

>>724212992
It's been fantastic since launch

>>724212992
DLC is great and very often the best parts of the whole game.

>>724213539
A lot of places are full of nothing

>>724213046
The issue with invading these days is that everything is set up to facilitate gank squads farming you.
If you don't want to go 1v3 like 80% of the time, play Colosseum PvP.

>>724206903 (OP)
Soul
Too bad I never once got invaded when playing ER.

>>724206903 (OP)
make peace, not war

>>724214178
I hate that they made it so that you either have to play coop to get invaded or use an item that specifically invites invaders
It was the better system in ds1, you never felt truly safe as a human
They should have done it so that if you activated your great rune, you were open to invasion

Nightreign being such a success and Shadow of the Erdtree bosses being so overtuned and feeling like summons or spirits are intended to be used and anything else is a challenge run, makes me think that multiplayer boss fights are going to become the norm in future games.
That you're going to have Consort Radahn or Fulghor type bosses all over, with the expectation being that you'll treat them like MMO raid bosses where you go online and make a team to challenge them.

>>724214817
ED Fulghor is their best designed boss in a long fucking time so I'll take it if they're all like him. But it's more likely they're all going to be like ED Pest or Libra.

>>724206903 (OP)
I had no idea it’d actually render the arena down there properly. How do you even stay invading during a boss?

>>724212687
haha never thought about using the midair dragonbreath that way

>>724214576
Wrong
>always open to invasion at all times
>rune arc = higher priority
>rune arc w/ great rune = even higher priority
>summons = highest priority
Players, especially summonsissies need to be dragged kicking and screaming to experiencing and overcoming adversity
Kowtowing to carebears has done immeasurable harm to the series

>>724215604
I don't know when you last played Elden Ring but that's not how it works in the game.

>>724215925
I know, that's how it SHOULD work
No more opt out
Don't want to get invaded? Play offline.

>>724210167
Eh in Nightreign, unless you’re fighting Gladius or Pests, solo is a lot easier. Everdark Libra especially, that’s a completely different fight solo. Adel, Maris, Fulghor, Caligo, and Heolstor are a lot easier solo, Caligo doesn’t run around nearly as much which was the main source of difficulty from that fight since it’d just fly between players a lot and delay the inevitable in both base and everdark.
