We need that build man!!!
What was the cannon that you used?
This vid is extra satisfying
hey... how you supposed to use the mini cannon?
Pvp this time around is purely about ridding the lands between of cancer.
Massive respect to the invader who sprinted in to protect prod from RoB with a backstab, but also did it barehanded to not steal the kill. Homie knew it was personal
I saw that and I grinned, gamers understand
The elder council all agree, this was in short a homie moment
That invader is a hero and a chad
Massive respect to the blue as well that didn't try to kill the invaders
@@aeroosprey why?
I love that crouching is the universal meaning of “friend?” In every game
Man im not sure how to break this to you but.. all those people rapidly crouching over your dead body were not being friendly.
Joke aside, yeah I know what you mean.
@@TheHuffur I think he was more talking about 5:50.
crouch = frend
@@nuclearfilms9754 Yeah I know, I just hid it behind the Read more button.
@@TheHuffur Yea, I know. I still wanted to provide a time stamp though.
@Virgin Incel No, I am an absolute bumbling idiot who should not have internet access.
3:19 seeing both Invaders and the blue celebrate the host's death is a beautiful sight, I hope the host feels bad.
You know it's bad when people who should be enemies agree on something.
@@DeadlockDrago They just fight something more Evil
@@DeadlockDrago i absolutely despise forced invasions in co-op ever since i started playing these games* and yet even i can't see these guys as anything as scum.
...mind you i also invaded in irythill and cut off the bridge so i coud go afk while farming vertebra shackles or other similar things, but there at least i had a reason: to go for a platinum, even hosts often understood why i did it... but this? i iterally can't see anything positive from doing this, much more so when you have clearly been given late game items(dude had mirrorshield and rivers of blood c'mon)
*still like solo invasions and invading myself tho, i just don't like being invaded when playing co-op, hope they fix the taunter's tongue to be like a ds3's ember, or at least add an equivalent item.
@@iota-09 I find it weird that the Blue Cipher Ring (protect as hunter) is an always on/off toggle, but the Taunter's Tongue has to be reused every time you die AND that it has to be in conjunction with the Finger Remedy which also resets on death/warp. I want other people to come in and make things interesting, but not have to navigate 2 or 3 menus twice just to get it on every time. You'd think the Remedy would be enough like Embers or Humanity, but weirdly not.
As for these Invasions, I blame Torrent. These strats are often only possible because his speed and more importantly double jump allow you to get to places you can't without. I'd say I'm surprised multiplayer disables it, but it's often unstable with latency jumps enough as is, 4 players on horseback would likely break it. I honestly want to see an item that allows players on foot to perform these same leaps (even if consumable or temporary).
@@DeadlockDrago and not only that, but it also removes any and all invasion timers(which is also part of the reason as to why these afk guys are a thing in the first place)
taunter's tongue it's just all-around a terribly implemented tool, and for literall no reason too.
3:15
Absolutely LOVE how the blue cheered. Enemies united against a common foe.
@5:50 I love that the souls community have such understanding you didnt actually need words to convey something was wrong to an ENEMY, just crouch a couple of times and cease attacking and suddenly they too know something is not right.
7:40
"Oh shit, he found me!"
The violent rattling of a controller on a desk is one hell of an alarm bell
I honestly thought these afk rune farmers couldn't get any lazier, but seeing the fact that some won't even get on top of the roofs has proven me wrong.
Could you please explain why these people are hiding? Do they want people to not find them and quit? And aren’t blues the enemies of red? Or do these blues realise they aren’t able to help the host coz they’re hiding and decide to let red try and kill host?
@@terrydactyl2077 you pretty much hit the nail on the head
@@terrydactyl2077 yeah pretty much, once the invaders leave or die the roofers get runes but it’s a scummy method that most blues wont enable. Dumbest part is, most normal farming methods are 10x more effective
@@sam-gp3ov That's what really throws me. You'll get more runes in like 10 seconds in some of the farming areas. And it's was less boring. Just...why...
I'm not surprised some ppl are afk farmers I came from playing wow a year ago and the only players on were bots pretty much the same as afk farmers
4:07
The fact that there is a phantom in the exact same spot, doing the exact same thing, should tell you something about how much of a problem this afk farming is & the saddest part is most of these guys aren’t even afk
it's not the only one too , what do you think the guys at 3:23 is shooting
how is it a problem?
@@fhufhfhjfjfjf9534 It's ruining the multiplayer for invaders and hunters alike. Both parties get their time wasted just because some jackass is standing somewhere you can't access.
@@fhufhfhjfjfjf9534 I can’t tell if this is this an actual question or if you are just being contentious, so I will say this:
it ruins the game for people trying to play normally, whether they’re an invader or hunter, b/c all these “farmers” are doing is basically baiting invaders & hunters into their world just to waste their time in hopes the invader leaves.
This is time that could easily be spent actually playing the game instead of scraping ~2k runes an hour, *when there’s literally a respawning giant that drops 1k at Stormhill Gatefront.*
There’s barely any incentive to even do PvP in the first place & this “method” is just making it even harder to want to participate. I mostly get summoned as a blue for PvP, but the amount of hosts I’ve seen hiding on roofs is downright laughable & honestly pretty cowardly _especially_ if they’re just literally *watching their screen* as they do their best Rapunzel impression.
@@bryanthomas1382 why would i care if it ruins multiplayer for invaders
Initially, whenever I can't reach the invader as a Blue, I just sit there where he's hiding and letting invaders/the other blue know what they're doing. They leave immediately. Then I realized that I was getting Runes too and only contributing to the problem. So now, I invade to take up a slot and basically do the same thing and just throw on a podcast or something and wait. Got to the point where we had a little group just chilling nearby for something like 20 minutes until the Host killed themselves from impatience.
And the more this drags on, the more creative the counter-response will be. Souls PvPers are some goddamn madlads.
They could fix this issue pretty easily in my opinion. They could just make the taunted tongue only able to be activate via an option in the site of grace. Then when it turns on they the player shouldn’t be allowed to use torrent while it’s active. It keeps people from being able to do this
Best idea I’ve seen yet.
This is a better idea than restricting summonable areas. Good job!
@@SiriusYTChan It’s the most simple and effective way of solving it.
@John Hooper Catharsis =/= Fun.
Both are good, but they are not the same. Catharsis can only come from experiencing the opposite of fun, first.
@John Hooper Because dueling people is more fun than gimmicking a cheater.
The fact that these people managed to unite reds and blues is a feat in itself.
Love that the community is vicious enough to make a sport out of hunting these exploiters. It might not stop them entirely, but the more reistance there is, the less incentive to continue doing it. Although it boggles the mind that they're doing it in the first place because the "reward" is utterly pitiful. Maybe they'll learn at some point.
I saw a few people suggesting that this behavior is actually in retaliation for some fucked up shit that invaders were doing, so it may not be as clean cut as it seems.
I don't really know since I don't do pvp or co-op, but it would make more sense than that they are "farming".
@@whispersinthedark88 there's some CZcamsrs that show these spots off and advertise it as "afk farming! 10 million+ runes per hour!!!!!" So yeah, between those CZcamsrs and their scummy followers, there's people who do this just to farm (or probably just to troll).
@@whispersinthedark88 Not all cancerous behaviours are in retaliation for something. Sometimes, people do shit just because they're assholes. And assholes deserve no sympathy.
@@mralloc23 but here’s the thing, why are they afk farming online??? They can do it offline
@@jondoe8350 I mean you need to be online to do co-op/pvp.
Prod you can use rancor pots and watch where the spirits go to see where they're hiding on certain roofs to conserve explosive bolts and the bleed pots aren't too shabs either
This, and if you have even a bit of faith, the Giantsflame Pots can do a TON of damage, especially since he's using the Jar helmet already. Grab all 10 ritual pots and some flowers and bam, better than most fireballs as far as I've seen. They scale incredibly well with faith. And knowing how good Prod is at free-aim throws he'd probably nail people pretty easily with them.
Maybe the special move of Family Heads. That has homing projectiles/
Cannon of Haima for the mage bros. What better tool to take out an enemy in cover than actual artillery? Magic mortar those whore-spawned wastes-of-skin right where it hurts, send 'em to the hell they deserve.
@@darknaio60
Volcanic Pot is also awesome it does some pretty amazing lingering AOE damage
Rancor pots don’t track unless your locked onto them
In order to reach max level in eldenring, you only need to kill about 338,511,683 boars. Seems like a more effective method of farming then the afk farmers. Yet there so many
Hell, farming Dewkissed Herba in Siofra and then selling it would be quicker, and at least it requires effort. If you reach max level off of Dewkissed Herba, you've earned max level. You've earned every single rune for having such unfathomable patience and determination, for putting in so much effort... unlike a certain other form of rune farming...
New FenotheFox video incoming? "How long would it take to get max level by only killing boars?"
am i the only one that gets the south park reference?
@@azrealbelmont9084 Nope.
Even summoning and fighting reds in most popular invasion zones, either with hunters, or without them, is making more runes, fun and gaining skill.
Only practice gives us understanding, how the fuck builds a made.
Even though, I'm low skill and playing double bleed falchions, combining it with spears or else, it fun and makes a lot of runes.
Still i don't understand the proper way of making a pvp build, what weapons would fit best.
I just imagine how angry that first guy must be that he lost all his runes without it being recoverable if you dont go there again
I wanna say thank you for showing me how to deal with these afk guys. First time I encountered them was trying to do verres quest and I actually wanted to see how I could fare against other players. Ran into 3 afk players in a row. But after seeing you video I attempted to use the jar cannon myself and it worked.
Why do they afk?
@@holycheesecake2734 To farm runes. When a invader quits the host gains the invader's runes
@@DungEnjoyerr ohh
The more we punish AFK farming, the better PvP becomes
If we kill all of our enemies will we finally be free?
It will never stop. So y'all need to get tf over it lol

@@Mr72592 it will, super inefficient and annoying for both sides

Kudos to the blues that help you!
What a terrible way to rune farm ontop of that.
@@lixthewitch6718 Dunno bout runes but some say it was just to fuck with invaders. which is complete shit.
@@lixthewitch6718 are they just.... letting the phantoms kill each other?
I was thinking wtf are they even farming for as there's no covenant items, like it can't be runes as there's heaps of those for millions but I guess people are just that stupid. can't you also get rune arcs for PvP kills?
@@Willow4526 they're farming rune arcs
I can't tell you how great it is to see the community evolving to counter the rooftop meta. I had stopped being a blue and stopped invading cuz of the trend, super glad we can counter it now.
Na continue being a blue just to annoy the hosts
I'll do it
Be a blue and use the frenzy warming stone, or the damaging mist spell
@@gregoriolupercio5535 HOLY FUCK YOU GAVE ME A GREAT IDEA. I'm going to start running that spell when I go blue. I wasn't even thinking about that. Now I can finally help invaders kill these nerds. Just to confirm night maiden's mist does hurt allies right?
@@Hustler2_ oh god, ive never invaded there but youre right. Dont you literally need a horse to even *see* inside lennes rise?
Thats why you go blue, give the invaders some more explosive great bolts and help them find the host :)
I'm done trying to help people being invaded because of these afk invasion farmers. Glad to see people hunting them down and working with the hunters summoned by them.
There' s an easy way to fix this, just dont let people use taunter's tongue in áreas that cannot be accessed other than using your horse.
perhaps make the tongue a toggle at a bonfire only? That way people can't spend 15 minutes trying to jump up somewhere when they are going to start getting invaded in 5. Just a thought since its easier to ask for something like that than scouring the whole map to create blanket tongue don't work here zones. Seems like a lot of labor.
@@skylineguy376 great idea, taunters tongues only useable at bonfires would go a long way
The group t-bagging after killing a AFK host is the best thing I’ve seen today
Especially the blue getting in on it too.
I love hate these little scummy afk rune farmers pretty much the same as wow botting
@@AidenAlias absolutely. Was laughing my butt off,lol
If the host is Afking, he will never see it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only bad part is that the afk dude will never know
I've been duping cannons and handing them out to invaders for this crap
Where is the cannon location and how do u use it
@@leoarai5277 my gelmir, and strength
How do I dupe items?
Let me get one 👀
Absolute King. Keep up the supplies for the War effort
Tried invading for the first time today. The first invasion game crashed when I tried to teleport closer to the target with the fingers the other two invasions were afk farmers (one with a summon) just spamming emotes and spells. Real fun.
How is it going? My first 20 or so invasions in ds3 got me nothing
Any luck?
as someone who had the blue ring on, after the 4th time getting summoned in a world with no reachable host, i just said fuck it and turned off the ring.
Idk about everyone else, but like every 6th or 7th invasion the game freezes on ps5
Same. And I’m on Xbox so it’s worse.
Just invade in the areas that dont have afk farming spots
“I was in this world for fifteen minutes”
DS3 Havel Host: Rookie numbers
“Why don’t you just play the video game?”
“But my ruuunes and fawming is too hawd and takes to wooong 🥺”
I am lost, what is the point of AFK farming - if you aren't AFK???? So many people actively hiding on roofs firing back or dodging.
Its called being too spineless to actually play the game lol
Amazing right? They’d rather do circles on a roof for hours to get a few thousand runes than actually play the game and get tons more lmao
I don't know what AFK means ^_^'
@@darioildiario3001 It means 'away from keyboard' . AFK means that they leave the game running and walk away without playing
My guess is some of these farmers that are not actually afk are those PvP-hating crowds, which we know do exist. They just want to see invasion enjoyers get mad on the internet. That's just my guess though. And if that's really the case, that's gotta be the goofiest thing I've heard in a while. "I hate invasion, therefore I will lure invaders! Me so smart, good job, me."
Ahh prod, i see you have joined me in my quest to eliminate all afk farmers. I even droo explosive greatbolts for invaders when im a blue
Ur doing good work lol hopefully more if us are willing 2 get our hands a bit dirty when dealing with these scrubs lol
I've had a few blues drop be stacls of explosive and lightning bolts, warms my heart
@@yourlordskeletor6081 i havent seen as many mage bros taking out these guys but hell ill give them starlight shards if they need it
@@mastervaderog8021 you are definitely enacting cookie's will
This video is making me want to try being a blue simply so that I can do that xD
You've convinced me to create a build designed to hunt afk farmers
Cannon of Haima if you've got the int for it. Hit those whore-sons with a magic mortar, right where it hurts. Make sure to charge your shots. Godspeed, brother.
The tools of the trade are four different weapons:
1: Jar Cannon (Or hand ballista, they're functionally identical) with explosive greatbolts and lightning greatbolts,
2: Giantsflame Fire Pot, these scale super hard with Faith and can do ridiculous amounts of damage
3: Mohgwyn's sacred spear, the weapon art goes through walls and has a huge vertical reach
4: Radahn's swords, again, the weapon art has huge reach and goes through walls, but this one also pulls them towards you, so you can yank them off roofs with it.
#1 is mandatory, the rest are for fun. Happy hunting.
@@AnonJuggerbot this sounds like a pain in the tail to get running but once up. we unfun the game for em so 2 times reward plus bad ass weapons :P
@@AnonJuggerbot for mages cannon of haima and terra magicus are great
@@manletgundyr Cannon can't aim high enough to hit hosts hiding on roofs.
Highkey, Prod's massive channel growth is the true meaning of "Do good things and good things happen in return."
So let me get this straight, every single invasion I've done until now, I couldn't find the host because he was roof camping or something like that.
This has to be a new kind of stream idea prod. Get your viewers to help you invade these if that isn't what already was happening. It shouldn't be too hard because of the taunters tongue then just co-op them lol. It would be absolutely amazing
If this is a new stream idea, then I hope it's one that catches on real quick. The more we have, the better.
"This part of my life, this little part...is called Happiness". Get smited with the wrath of Cookie, Afk farmers.
I have never been so happy to see an invader win in my life. These afk "strats" are so toxic.
I'm so glad these pathetic losers are being hunted. But I have to admit, my favorite invasions of all time are some videos of Prod and Chasethebro winning against hackers in DS3.
There's literally NOTHING "toxic" about AFK farming.
Afk farming npc enemies no. Sitting on a building to actively attract and waste invaders time yes. Especially when it's literally the least efficient way to farm.
@@maxdrags3115 He probably means the afk invader farming.
@@maxdrags3115 wasting peoples precious time is toxic mate.
i did some testing and hunting, and i can say that every region has an area where the invader cannot reach, limgrave has several. but i will not share these locations and i will not afk them because i use relic sword at mohgwyn like an intelligent rune farmer.
I was summond as a hunter in this area, and I made friends with the invader. I had no clue this was what was going on tho.. wow
As a Blue and a Coop build I completely agree. There are some things we and the reds need to come together on. Killing the glitchers, afk farmers, and RoB spammers.
Plz don’t forget BHS. BHS is infinitely worse than ROB.
If you spam dragon incants and swarm of flies during a 1v1 duel, I will pull BH step from my inventory and ROB to ruin your day. If you're one of those people you are also a no skill loser.
Its beautiful, even though we have afk farmers problem, dark souls community team up to punish such people
I invade in the Haligtree as to avoid spawn campers, and it reminds me of the ringed city.
Bruh I remember when I was invading an afk farmer and used the golem great bow to knock them off their perch, bastard didn’t realize that I was am a stubborn sob
This reminds me of the days in Dark Souls 3 where Hosts would use a branch in the archives and let the police and red bois kill each other. I spent like 30 minutes hunting down a host and killed like 5 cops (using the npcs on the bridge to Lothric to back me up). Another invader showed up and we finally hunted down and killed the host, who looked like Jesus.
That moon deflect was a thing of pure beauty.
It’s probably the best strategy to use against moonveil.

Mostly because its stupid to begin with. They do not even get much unless there are close to level 700. My guess would be that they just wait until people notice how stupid it is. Its so easy to farm runes in this game, but people cant even be bothered to do it themselves
@@platzu8061 the only people that are dumber than these people are the ones that are paying actual money to 3rd party websites for weapons and gear. Some may actually be doing both though
@@MRBigWhite57 the fact people even consider that saddens me
@@MRBigWhite57 People spend money for in game items that are relatively easy to obtain?
@@rightousnesspursuer6523 yep when most of the time if you go to the community there’s almost always someone willing to give out items for free
That last one just kind of makes me sad. Given everything that other people like Scott have mentioned, there's little doubt that guy just bought a Rivers of Blood for a couple of dollars, and then the scammer he bought it from probably told him this "great way to Rune farm" or whatever.
Just the idea of “buying” rivers of blood instead of just playing the game makes me a sad gamer.
It's always a sad feeling when people would rather spend money instead of playing a game, especially a good one. It's even sadder when he's not even afking, just sitting up, voluntarily wasting his own time.
@SeraWasNever I have bad news. It's very real.
@SeraWasNever theres currently a huge market on ebay for Elden Ring items. its pretty pathetic
@@tjbrody for real? Here I am in NG+ having fun and you're telling me I could get payed for it? Lol
You’re doing a true lord’s work, thank you!
I’ve run into like 4 afk farmers just in the past 12 hours
maybe that one frenzy incantation would work as a way to get them too
Being able to climb up to the afk roof hiders in liurnia is a godsend, spent a day murdering them up there
You're doing this community a great service, Prod. Also shoutout to the blues helping you. Together, we can make the world a better place!
TOGETHAAA
Make the world a better place, one rat at a time... actually, comparing these people to rats is offensive to rats, and I have more respect for rats, too.
Togethaaaaaa
Toxic Prod is my favorite because he only comes out when the people he's fighting legitimately deserve no respect whatsoever.
I once spent an hour hunting a guy hiding up in the Lake Of Lurnia bridge spot. The worse part was that he wasn't even afk, so I had to actively keep moving around to hit him from different angles around, and through the gate!
This is the most entertaining invasion content for me, destroying these assholes using exploits and bugs to reach unreachable places. Finding new and creative ways to knock them off the roof is so satisfying, i love it
The real MVP's are the blues who sit by and watch you do this
I was thinking I would just leave if I was one, but it's better to stay and watch so I take up the afk hosts phantom slot.
Funny how when I am the blue, the invaders wont stop chasing me when the host is an obvious afk farmer
@@pepperonigawd I’ll kill a blue an the invader for sum free runes an kill the host jus abt maximum runes man
I watched some CZcamsr recommend this for Rune farming.
Hiding on the roof and keep luring in invaders and Hunter to kill each other. People who do that disgust me, even I could do the jump in the roof, but didn't start the shenanigans.
I landed in someone's World even as they were fighting the Tree Sentinal infront of the Chapel you exit in Limgrave at the start of the Game. As an respectable Human being had I not interfered and had them kill it
It's easily the worst rune farming method too, considered you get no more than 1-3k per invader. You could get more by killing a single enemy faster than the time it takes for 3-4 invaders to get into your world and die.
It is a good replacement for dark souls 3s arena game mode though
@@ORCANORCA881 Lmao you go to the bird farming spot in mohgywn palace, and take the sacred relic blade and use it's ash of war once and you'll get 50-60k runes without rune gain increases. It's how I make roughly 1m runes per 15 minutes.
@@DemoniaProductions The problem is, you need to beat the game first to use that sword.
@@baeshin oh on imagine beating a game before cheeseing or exploiting
I made a Steam discussion a week ago complaining about AFK farming/using Torrent to get on a roof and troll, and the amount of people that are actually for it, just to spite invaders, is absolutely astounding. People really are fine with exploits and bugs as long as it hurts invaders in general even if it effects blue summons. It's the most toxic thing i've ever seen in game and in forums. jfc
Casuals will be Casuals which is why they are the most toxic part of souls... like damn calling invaders evil for playing online multiplayer is sad 😂
You're first problem was you posted it on Steam Forums. Everytime Fromsoft even breathes on their current game steam Forum users froth at the mouth and screech, they're demi-human at best.
@@peter_griffith522 Yeah people lump all invaders in together into one group and say "you deserve it" whenever anybody who has ever been an invader decides to talk about real issues that exist in the game. As long as if F's over invaders, it's perfectly fine even if it's a hack or legit bug.
Even from have been cucking invaders throughout the series. Ik they say they don’t bend to people when they wanna make the game easier. But in 1. Invasions can happen anytime you’re online and shit. 2. Same thing. 3. They made it to where you’re more likely to invade a host with a phantom. Elden ring. You can only invade hosts with at least one phantom unless they use an item in every new location they go to. It saddens me but it is what it is.
I don’t exactly mind it just don’t invade or something idk
Still haven't played this, what exactly is farming? How do you do it by just standing up on a roof? And what's the difference between red and blue players? :P
Every blue I encounteres when this happened didn't seem to give a darn...
Ironically, as scummy as these guys are, they're providing a rare opportunity to see multiple reds in a game at once which doesnt happen too often, without a ton of summons at least. It's interesting to see how things devolve for the host once they lose their little safe space.
These people seem to lack the basic mental capacity and brainpower to realize the Albinauric farm in the literally, bloody hellscape is THE best rune farm in the entire game.. no invaders to, throw a spanner in the works.. or a cannonball..
A lot of them seem to do it out of spite at invaders lol
You can get there from the Varre quest too, you really just need to kill Godrick is the only significant challenge. Don't know about Albinauric farm, but I do know about shooting the chicken to lure it to death, anybody with a bow can do that, especially with a range boosting talisman.
@@therighttrousers343 the same place just kill the sleeping ones and the few red ones with the sacred relic sword. Easy 40k runes every minute
Might have to go give this a try, been seeing it happen a lot as a blue at the first step. I’ve tried pointing invaders in the right direction but it might be time for some more direct help.
Good hunting and Godspeed, brother. Give 'em the hell they deserve.
Oh this explains why I couldn't find the host when I invaded for the white mask quest one time. He was hiding in a roof on a church in the land of lakes
I had no idea people did this. I join as a hunter and been in these areas and thought nothing of it when I couldn’t find the host. Wanting to help others and being taken advantage of is a shit feeling.
I love how some blues saw what's up and agreed to a truce, to let Prod and other red finish the host. Magical moment.
Blues are there to protect a host running the game. They do not tolerate scum.
I don’t know if I’m wrong or not. But I assume this version of afk rune farming is to use police item, use taunters tongue, hide, and let them kill eachother while you get free runes. Unfortunately for the invaders. Even killing the host means nothing to them. They can just get their runes back and do it again
The invaders/blues don’t even have to fight. If the invader fingers out, the host still gets the runes. The invaders only last so long before they just say fuck it and the host gets the runes anyways. I’ve been having people hiding in liurnia and while I’m fighting blues they’ll chuck spells. Incredibly frustrating
@@TheKing260MC I hate that if you finger out people get souls. So stupid.
Not really if they’re actually afk they’ll die and it’s one less afk world and they can’t keep getting free runes
Well we could just ddos them
I love how we souls-like enjoyer can communicate with just Crouching, wiggling, spining. Love the content
That’s how I know if I’m against a newer player. They usually rush straight in trying to attack, no spinning or bowing or anything. Just foul
@@FroggeClips After Elden Ring Release, lots of new player doesnt know difference between Invasion and Duel. But yeah, seeing a souls veteran undestand my shield wiggling is something heart warming
Thats not just souls-like games it happens in most games I play
It's not souls exclusive nor did it originate in souls. I hate idiots that think like this.
@@evilsonjachannel don't forget the souls classic, spam tapping block
I may not always like invaders, but screwing over people who happily farm others is something I am all for.
Farm after farm gank after gank, I needed this so much. Cheers prod hunt them all.
The amount of non afk afk farmers is astounding. You can get more runes from just playing the game..
rooftop camping is maidenless behavior because not only is it scummy, its not even a sound strategy
I just imagine the people doing this are all the game "journalist" who said Elden Ring was trash.
The land between thanks you for your war service soldier.
I’m gonna be honest when I see rivers of blood I automatically feel like the player I’m going against is trying to compensate for his shit skill when using it.
Same. I'm more wary of the mfer wearing goat armour with two hammers
Had my first roof "punt" where we knocked him off the roof. I got the dagger back stab just for extra humilation. It was glorious.
These afk farms don't even give that many runes so these people must be doing it just to fuck with reds
Part of me is glad AFK farming exists because we get quality content out of it like this
I wonder how long it’ll take until some afk farmer finds a spot that’s like underneath the map or something where they can’t get shot at
Just had my first encounter as a blue one with an afk farmer...sooo 3 reds & I sat down and did nothing until afk came down. I did nothing until they won & aplauded them. Was a nice fight :)
After a long day of work, hearing Prod laughing and be happy is the best Balm to my heart ever.
For anyone worried about people using glitches and exploits in Elden Ring, take it easy. These things always happen, but after the first few months, they get patched out and the lazy people who just want to mash a button and win get bored. Just have patience and, with some help from the community, (Prod doing this and Adam with his mech build) we'll set the record straight again and get those fun fights back.
I really hope so. One of the reasons that rooftop farming is a thing is in response to cheesy and cheater reds invading and one shotting with Carian Retaliation+ Bloodhound Step or just using Cheat Engine for infinite HP.
@@Hustler2_ Sorry, you are incorrect. I was in the Elden Ring Server on Discord, streaming the invasions as they happened, and we have multiple clips of CR and CE use taking place. Roughly 41 out of 50 invaders used it at level 500+ in Agheel Lake North. Also, you can play online without EAC, as someone already pointed out the method to me when I asked how they could use Cheat Engine.
@@Hustler2_ Remember the hackers Malcolm Reynolds and Go To Brazil, they got several players soft-banned with hacks...how do you think they did that if they could only play offline?
@@Qdoggus I've run into more co-op players abusing Carian Retaliation than I had fighting actual invaders. Invaders, for the most part, are driven into using meta weapons because that's really the only way to offset the sheer disadvantages they face. This creates a toxic loop that thas invaders getting their shit kicked in, googling what works best, using that and co-op players in turn use broken siit to fight off them and so on and so forth.
@@Hustler2_ So that's why you were unfamiliar with hackers. You might be under the impression that "nobody invades past the meta", this is also completely false. At my level, if I AFK farm for a couple of hours (not saying that I do), I pick up 30 million+ runes when I come back.
We need more videos like this from you. This is what brings the community together to fight against a common enemy.
More proof that Prod is a true hero.
For those of you who do not understand why we hate AFK farmers. The answer is simple. Killing enemies and taking their runes IS the game. These afk farmers are making it harder for other people to play... so that THEY DON'T HAVE TO PLAY.
Not even speedrunning is as degenerate as this...
Imagine afk farming and using rivers of blood, can't imagine a bigger 🐱 than those guys.
I even got more respect to those who use the long ass kameha meha build
It's pretty sad that you can see ghosts in other worlds trying to shoot these morons down as well.
They should either make it so when you reach a certain height, you're teleported to the ground, or, when you're on top of a high structure, you're teleported
Or just make it that host dont get souls for invaders leaving worlds. If it's not worth it people will stop doing it.
@@Lazuruseai No most people I know who do it just do it cause they hate invaders in general and want to waste their time. Its not about making souls, its about annoying players.
@@bloodhazard67 Are stpuid or something? Can they not read and bother to look in the options to set themselves offline?
@@bloodhazard67 I'm pretty sure most people who are doing this don't do it with the intent of annoying invaders, it's mostly people who are either incredibly lazy or saw those shitty "10 million runes no combat OP Broken!" videos.
Better yet, just put a spawn point up on those buildings if they detect that the host is up there.
These will be seen as dark days where heroes emerged. In the days of yore, of legend, the release of Elden Ring.
These are probably the newcomer base player that watch all of the youtube guide on how exploit the game to the bone, even in multiplayer
I always used Cannon of Haima to kill them but I might have use the jar cannon for the ones out of range
Elden Ring pvp didn't last long, i already miss DS3 pvp. They really need to improve it a lot because right now it's the weakest part of the game.
I think its kind of telling that, in a game with no basic R1->R1 true combo (or some variation of it) that people gravitate towards things that either 1 shot, stunlock, or have a true combo. Or they just AFK hide like cowards.
Honestly didn't much like ds3 pvp with r1 spam, but anything is better than the click ash of war spam snoozefest this is so far. Also I've had way more issues with any form of multi-player in this vs all the souls games has really broken my game a few times.
@@MrBraz33 I wasn't a fan of R1 spam either, but i miss that actually spacing right and getting a hit in rewarded you with one more hit with most weapons. I used Str weapons or Ultras, and PvP with them was fun in DS3.
@@sethseth916 agree totally that is pretty much how i played through the majority of fromsoft games on at least 1st playthrough if it wasn't a quality build with some sort of greatsword it was a strength build. Just made the pvp encounters more engaging.
@@MrBraz33 I always defaulted to a Quality build. My favorite character in DS3 uses a Heavy Cathedral Knight (Ultra)Greatsword and a Sharp Lothric Knight (Ultra)Greatsword, with Gundyr's Halberd, Frayed Blade, Bloodlust, Heavy Splitleaf Greatsword, Gael's Greatsword, and the Hollowslayer Greatsword in the inventory
Thanks for posting this, I got summoned as a hunter and couldn't figure out where the host was quite a number of times, now i know that its just rats wasting my time.
Yes, rip and tear until its done
With all the invasions I've done and all the times I've been invaded I've found there's two types of players who sit out of reach. There are the AFK farmers (who are bastards) and then there are the people who genuinely don't want to fight and are usually pretty close to a grace that the invader is now blocking off or they're in an area with a lot of super hard enemies and want a particularly valuable item. In the latter cases I've found its best to act non hostile and actually let the host accomplish their goal before fighting. Usually they'll grace you with a 1v1 if you do that.
The efforts some people go to to NOT play a video game is nuts to me sometimes. First it was kids getting on Twitch to watch others play video games and now its doing weird AFK stuff so they can AVOID playing the video game...
I’m fond of using the madness spells to deal with these types, the flame of frenzy can commonly arc up onto rooftops and frenzied burst is great for snipes
I absolutely despise madness spells I think they are the worst spell in PVP..... however I make an exception for maidenless basterds like this, Gotta fight fire with fire
I've had this happen a few times. Killed one and the other was using fingerprint shield so I couldn't shoot him down. Good to know about the tree. I'll have to use it.
Who's the cancerous wart who thought afk rune farming was a good idea? I know that there's some youtuber out there who shared this info. Or maybe a tiktoker, sounds more like a tiktok strat
Hosts were the real villains all along.
The hunter (blue guy) looked like one of the skeletal bad guys from one of the original power ranger movies. The movie with the purple goop
This is exactly like mw2 booster hunting. I'm gonna get on later and search for these FREAKS
i dont get all these strats. Just literally go to war-dead catacombs in single player and afk. it's more runes per hour and no exploits/pvp cheese needed. The game designed it to be an endless afk rune farm.
It's not, they stop attacking each other after a while
Literally renamed my character to AFK hunter, it's so satisfying killing them
I felt like this guy got gun into a circus show
