    Questionnaire for Invaders:
    #1) Why are you invading?
    -a) for souls and humanity
    -b) because it is fun

    If you answered a): Obviously, you have never googled "How to farm souls and humanity in Dark Souls". Do that now!
    If you answered b): Great, you don't live under the rock that we call North Korea. Continue to question #2).

    What about this ?

    So let's start from the top. Most of us probably PVP because it gives us enjoyment. So it's a question of how it provides us with that. My proposal is that there are two ways: (1) it allows us to have a fun spirited duel among two players with an equal right to be prepared for the duel; and (2) it gives some players enjoyment simply to see others burn and die. Does anyone want to add any more ways that one could enjoy PVP?

    -a) I get to see other players writhe and squirm as they face their inevitable death at my hands
    -b) it is an enjoyable test of skill among equals (perhaps not equal in skill, but equal in right to have fun with Dark Souls)

    If you answered a): You shouldn't be spending time with Dark Souls. If your therapist won't admit it, I will: you are an insufferable sadist! Seek professional help.
    If you answered b): Great, you don't have to be institutionalized. Now, if you aren't honorable, I hope you have realized that you should be.

    This is entirely your opinion. Different people do different things for fun. Accept that fact and you wont get all antsy in your pantsy and make threads like this.
    Do you want to list any other ways that people PVP for fun?

    Simple.
    Play the game the way you want . The Game is supposed to make you have fun . No need to argue on anything
    That's not disputed. You bought the game; play it as you like. But have a respect for others. They bought the game too and deserve to have as much fun as you are.

    No no no no no. No ifs or buts. When people buy the game they can do whatever they like. People dont have to respect anyone in a videogame. It's not like real life. If you feel disrespected and offended in a videogame quit if you want. That's your choice just the same as their choice to do what they want.

    Once again. No buts.

    yea fighting in a chaotic matter is fun indeed, how ever.

    is a surprise OHKO Hornet Ring BS fun and chaotic??

    is a OHKO CSS to the face after being surprised with a TWOP fun and chaotic?

    the answer is no.

    any sort of cheap unavoidable OHKO can not be considered fun and chaotic imo. its just boring.

    how many times can you OHKO some one when they have zero chance of escape or even know you are there and still have fun?

    that reminds me of unlimited ammo and life hacks for games, sure its fun for like 5 mins but after awhile what are you really doing?

    Wow 6 pages nice work lol. I think you're talking about gankers right. They'll always exist in souls series as long as the summoning system and invading system exists. We really can't do anything about it. And you're right they should seek psychological help so +1 lol.

    im talking bout invading a hosts world, hiding around a corner you know the host has to pass and then OHKO them as soon as then pop around.

    i don't get how that can be fun after the 2nd 3rd time you did it, at some point you gotta be asking "where is the challenge"

    Remember invading isn't all about 1 on 1 duels. Thats just one part of dark souls pvp.

    What if you see yourself as more of an assassin? You like to hide, with fog ring, chameleon or hiding behind something, like you said, and pop out as a glass cannon.

    We've seen people invade other games and throw all kinds of crazy tactics, even mini games! Why does this one technique seem out of place?

    i have nothing wrong with hiding surprise attacks, i am just asking how some one can simply deem it fun to OHKO some one who didn't stand a chance, its like "shooting fish in a barrel" is that fun?

    in my opinion i would much rather ambush some one with a strong attack to make them **** their pants (like fire tempest or a great fire ball) but won't be enough to OHKO them, to get them to panic and run. now that is chaotic fun.

    Are you being rational in this thread? You seem to be basing this thread upon false empirical knowledge... Also on a note I would state that anyone who believes that these "sadists" should be given therapy are what I would deem... not particularly sane themselves... They seem to overreact to these things.

    so did this guy.

    when i initially said it to you, i was just stating that i see nothing wrong with Chaotic invasion fighting, i am not all about a 1v1 duel. i am just personally against OHKO tatics.

    when you invade and its 3v1, everything i stand for is out the window lol. i agree 100% OHKOs is the only thing that will save you in a 3v1 with a chugging host.

    i just refer to the times you invade a host who is by him self which is super common any where except the Anor Londo (they are always teamed up there and i say use any OHKO method you can)
