Sometimes it feels a bit ridiculous that 50% of invasions begin with me scoping out the host party with the old noculars, and deciding whether to hardswap my whole personality for the sake of not getting run + pointed down.
I've seen enough Saint Riot videos to know two things are certain: 1.) FROMsoftware and Capcom are not the same thing. 2.) Saint Riot is marked by a Brand that curses him to fight Guts and Griffith.
@@grilledleeks6514 I'm well past that my guy. Lol. Just sticking up for the comment poster. And pointing out that the the jaded feeling is there for anybody who does pvp in this game, No matter how "gud" you are. Just a matter of how much fun it Is for you personally to push through those feelings.
I started playing pvp in patch 1.9 and I was your typical bow to everyone kinda guy and maybe 1 out of 100 person I fought was a t bagger or point downer. Now that number is like 1 out of 5 people I come across lol
i'm still bowing for 95% of my win, but yeah there is always some cancer, and people pointing you down or tbagging you after a nice 1v3 AOW spam, it's always satisfying to experience
Hey does anyone have a link to the clip of Saint using his Frog build where he invades some guys in a tunnel and is about to critical attack one of them but he for some reason doesn't have his sword equipped and he yells "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY SWORDDDDDDDDDDDD"?
You are having burnout Saint. Have a break, man. Have a vacation. Then come back once the DLC drops. Love your content but can wait if you are not feeling it.
I get it. It's so much harder to boot up Elden Ring anymore. Invaded in DS3 until it just dropped off altogether, but couldn't get more than a year and a half of enjoyment from ER.
God what a big brain play with tree sentinel. I subbed to this channel because another video taught me you can parry giant hunt, not that im going to be trying to land parries in invasions when i struggle with ganks but still good info to have
I won't lie, I derive pleasure from stopping someone from playing the game but in the same way me attempting to stop them and them fighting me is also them just playing the game as it was designed. It's truly unique.
All mighty and holy saint_riot. I thank you for blessing us with this video and continuing with your holy work. I understand that your mission is hard, and not many can accomplish it, but your congregation and I appreciate the work that you put in. Please be sure to take care of yourself, for your flock do not wish to see you become a martyr
Saint i think that the time Is come... You must create (or use if you already have it) the ultimate nasty, brutal and toxic Invader; once you used the gentle invader, but now the demon must be unleashed, you can't cope saying "Is their First Time playing like ass", you must be the Justice and wrath of the invaders's Order, this Is my call for you. Edit: i finished the video and i'm actually hyped for what you are cooking, i still think that playing in the nastiest way possible could heal the resentment that Is growing inside of you for the Elden Ring community.
I call it the Shrek Syndrome. Ever since that silly ass Iron Pineapple video dropped about “ganking dark souls 3 invaders as shrek!!” 90% of the playerbase thinks PvP means standing around ganking the shit out of invaders in an empty area. Except instead of being silly like Iron Pineapple they’re just annoying and don’t know what they’re doing. I still love ER invasions though.
hey man john wall and bradley beal were pretty sick, and when we had ariza on there the wizards franchise was fan worthy. I'll admit its a joke these days but that still hurt to hear. good stuff as always, may you find peace in the DLC
You know, it's funny you mention it. Gus and Griffo are the protaganist and deuteragonist of the korean comic strip "Grr I'm Angry!" which is often mistranslated as "Berserk" by westerners. Inspired by american cartoon, "Pop Eye the Sailor Man", "Grr! I'm Angry!" follows the wacky adventures of Gus, a large baby-like man known for his swinging of a large sword and being fairly cowardly, and his best friend Griffo, who is a handsome, intelligent man prone to silly hijinks that often leave him in various states of undress. There's a few other characters but most of them are pretty boring, and don't serve the story much, except for the recurring love interest Casey, who's a little boy crazy in an endearing way. You'll often find Griffo cosplayers in Elden Ring using whips, bleed weapons, Vykes and such, because one of the running gags in "Grr I'm Angry!" is Griffo's struggle with a *really* nasty hemorrhoid, an absolutely putrid prostate pustule, and since there is no *actual* anal cyst weapon, they just try to emulate what an anal cyst *is* with their builds! It's a creative work-around, at least until Miyazaki releases the Fecal Fling incantation. It's funny, because this comic strip was something people often confuse for the source of Miyazaki's inspiration for the souls franchise, when that's actually Sam Raimi's 1981 horror masterpiece, The Evil Dead.
Love me some Gus and Griffo Undertale pvp Something I'll always respect Saint for: not hardswapping to the broken stuff when losing. People will whip out the stormhawk axes or bleed twinblade or dual spears against a sword and board build
I hear ya...once killed 11 people in the opening to poison swamp, 6 being the same dude, of a hiding b*tch b4 I was able to spot him and take him out still running tryin to summon his buddies
I agree 100%. I think one of the main issues with the PvP is not the game itself. It is the toxic community. This game is not a fighting game, nor a balanced game regarding PvP. All I can say is have fun and enjoy the run. I always wondered where those most elite PvP players come from. Personally, these people are the biggest cowards since they hide behind an unbalanced game rather than picking up an actual fighting game that actually has mechanics. Great take on this saint
1:30 This is a really astute observation -- hosts and co-opers think you as the invader are there to bully new players. I'd estimate that while some nonzero % of gankers are just in it for the easy wins themselves, a good amount of them think of themselves as Good Samaritans, collecting invaders who would otherwise be ruining the game of Little_Timmy49 and teaching them a lesson, dabbing on their corpse, etc. They're wrong and should stop doing that, but it's at least a train of thought I can follow.
4:00 - Starts of by doing a poor impression of a child telling his mom he is in a fight club, to all of a sudden becoming a real boy (with a real mom), who weirdly dislikes Mac and Cheese, and would rather play Elden Ring with the Bleed and Claw... So much character development in just 10 seconds! 🤣
I’ve been having the same problem with ac6 Tons of cheaters out there rn, and the ones that aren’t dc or are running epitomizes of heavy or light builds. And no one is playing teams anymore
27:20 I always use Cheat Engine to spawn items or armor that would be impossible to obtain before the Capital. Have done so since DS3, only way I could play with the Aquamarine Dagger and have fun
Imagine cheating instead of earning non-farmable items by yourself by just getting good lol. That's why most twinks are petty like gankers, they're spoiled cheaters and exploiters.
Dual wielding Petal Whips is the most fun I’ve had playing this game in 2 years. But I get how it can be tiresome of all people do is jump attack. But at most I named my character Dazz Devo. 😉
Wizards fan here, yes we are a joke. Ted needs to sell the team. I ALSO recently used wips for the first time recently. Pretty fun. It is good to hear you talk about "those" players. That damn instant crouch poke is annoying.
This is why I almost exclusively play street fighter 6 these days. The Internet is just so much better, and every character has the tools to win at the level I play at
Mister, i reached Astel in my first play through at lvl 39, in version 1.01, after a hardcore beating delivered by Radahn one week straight. Is possible, if you re a massive masochist, but is possible to reach that zone at lvl 60
There needs to be penalties for host who d/c like hp curse from Dark Souls or lose runes and them not be recoverable or something. Something has to give...
uh oh cranky boy lol not used to hearing you complain about people using OP setups Glad you found a solution (gUst and grYPho manga stuff heavily inspired the entire aesthetic of every dark souls game, but I'm sure you know) edit: Beautiful gryphoe kill with the respawned tree sentinel lol
i don't mind myself some pvp,but some invaders are just annoying as shiet bruh,i just started a new playtrough on ps some days ago and i was helping out in stormveil castle ,and all the invaders had rot pots with poison weapons ,where is the fun on doing that on someone who can't even heal that shiet that early one...
