Players summoning bloody fingers and hiding in out of reach spots using torrent
This happens a lot in limgrave, and it makes the game boring as an invader, and as a hunter. I dont want to kill an invader to help a trash host that is abusing an exploit. Its annoying to be constantly summoned to help someone who does not need help.

Easy fix for this would be to enable invaders to use torrent ONCE and for some 20 seconds every 10 minutes without being able to attack from top of it. They can mount it, look for the trash, unmount, and kill the cheater.

Or even better, make a report feature ingame and make it a banneable offence.

How many runes do you even get for killing invaders? I see videos where they get like 2000 or so but that hardly feels worth an afk farming method

Thats the point. You cannot kill them.

They use torrent (The horse) which can only be used in single player to access areas which are otherwise impossible or VERY HARD to access.

Like, a very common spot is a particular column behind limgrave.

They go AFK for a few hours, coming back to thousands/hundreds of thousands of runes leeeched off from the fun and time of other players.

I believe it is a percentage of the runes of the invader, higher per level.

With a high level friend I sometimes play with we got 500,000 runes for killing 2 invaders.

I can, trust me...
remember when they could go on top of the structure you get out from at the beginning of the game? I could reach them up there. just as an example.

so please, tell me the level you're at 🙏

You actually can, but it takes a lot of figuring out.

Currently rendering a vid on that exact column, i believe. Will post here.

I think its a feature of the game. Its been in every souls game before it and still here so it's got to be by design.

If they would introduce a spell or weapon that simply shoots through walls, that could fix the issue. It doesn't need to deal a lot of damage, just enough to kill an afk farmer over time. Heck, it could just be a spell that poisons people through walls.

It's based on the actual character level. You can get a lot for killing overleveled phantoms.

Here at 1:34 i get like 200k

Pretty sure poison mist does to that already, if the wall is thin. I've been poisoned through walls plenty of times in the game already. very long swords doing a jump attack do the job to.

I mean 'feature' in the sense of the meme that when you are too incompetent or flat out indifferent to do anything about a bug, then yes, it's a 'feature'.

From games have this weird thing of having 'cool ideas', possibly discussed at a sit in with lots of bong rips, but then halfass the implementation of those ideas or just forgetting / ignoring the fact that if anything can be exploited, players will do that in the most obnoxious ways, without fail.

You call it a feature, I call it them going "Eh, whatever, not exactly my problem, now is it?"

Waterfowl, Cannon Of Haima, Dragon incants are viable abilities.

Ehh PVP has never been a part of these games I care about, they are very much an unimportant side feature to the main game for me. Its never been done well and the use of very floppy P2P connections in a game where split second timing is key just means it does not really have much enjoyment to be had in it for me.

I'm sure people do enjoy it and good for them, but I don't hang around to deal with invaders personally.

also radahn's rain/rain of arrows. but you need to be able to lock-on to them, for these.

Here you go, OP. Is that the column?
I use rain of arrows, cridus mentioned this AOW. The good thing about it is that you can put it in any bow with the aow slot, so it's doable by any character.
Note that you need to lock on as you use the AOW, right before the shot. Otherwise you will lose the lock-on before it fires and the rain will be just near you.
