Friendly red phontom :)

Just joined forest hunters and was hanging out by bonfire for some pvp with my thief build. Havnt killed butterfly yet so I'm open to invasion. Get invaded after about 30 min and invader runs up and drops 1 humanity and bows. He backs up and I pick up humanity. I'm afraid to bow cause I know something horrible is about to happen. He turns and runs toward stupid butterfly. He just watches as i kill everything then he drops a magic :scratch: bandits knife :scratch: and he black crystal out. I message him thanks but get no reply. That was the most tense I've been playing this game so far, I was sure I was going to get back stabbed the whole time. Soooo... Any one need a bandits knife I have 4 of them now.
My Psn is. Slagnogler.

He should be banned from the wraiths! He doesn't deserve the red tint

He was probably hoping to kill forest invaders with you. There are a surprising number of darkwraith cowards that like to camp in the forest with hosts.

If he was at the fire, there was fog blocking the forest. Either way he's a coward though

Good point, animus. The butterfly comment should have clued me in. :oops:

@strangejoy
I've been killed by reds in the forest while blue. I don't get it, we are both supposed to be after the same goal. I guess anything goes w invading.

Yup, anything goes. But that doesn't make the DWs who engage in forest camping any less pathetic.

if i invade someone thats clearly a noob, ill give him a decent weapon and then one shot them with a backstab.

Yea like a broken sword+14, prob better than what they are using

The reason for that is very obvious :

Killing a SL 100 host will earn around 6000 souls
Killing a SL 100 blue invader will earn around 30000 ( 5 times !! )

see ?

Ahh

But the forest invaders are almost always much lower level than the host due to forest invasion parameters, so that doesn't really explain it, IMO. You also don't get any humanity by killing a forest invader. Now I can seen killing a DM, because their summoning parameters might make them higher SL than the host, and DMs suck.

I think the best explanation is still: pathetic players prefer 2v1ing low level phantoms rather than a good 1v1 fight against someone their own level.

if a forest hunter kills a host, the darkwraith still can gain his/her humanity.

You know, thinking on it and depending on time elapse, I may get slightly annoyed and chuck a normal lightning spear at someone that is attempting to do that to me. I have actually hurled a Sunspear at a guy who, after hiding behind walls and corners took it in the chest just as he came up the stairs and started his bow animation

No.. there's no level match in the forrest convenant.. I verified that quite a lot of times...
And even if there were.. it'd still be quite interesting !!

First time I invaded the forrest as a red phantom, I had that (pleasant) surprise when one blue phantom got killed by the host : A lot more souls that what I was usually getting killing hosts...

I never went for the "friendly red" myself though.. but sometime did hit blue phantoms when they were in the way

I guess being friendly red is like being Santa.

Scarf down the non-believe!#$!#$!#$

I don't get it why a red phantom will be nice to the host? Isn't the DW job is to get as much humanity as they can out of their hosts? hehe! He probably had a mental lapse and thought he was a sunbro.

I used to get friendly invaders all the time in Demons Souls but you could kill everything as an invader.

so the souls you get are dependant on level??? i killed a guy go gave 400k souls. on my level 161. so that means he was that high??? since i cannot invade lower levels. it was via red sign on the kilm.

I got 780k on my 80 from the same chick twice. so probably.

Yes, souls received are dependent on a number of unknown things, including SL.

that guy was funny since he buffed and started slashing my ghost before it even fully appeared. i kind of suck at pvp but i always let them spawn properly and even let then buff

Sometimes when I invade someone who's clearly worse than me and struggling with a level, I'll open up a shortcut for them before slaughtering them... That way I can still feel good about being a darkwrath, but I feel don't feel so awful about making some little nublet want to put the game down

I love when people do that because it doesnt work haha. and I always open shortcuts for people. Sometimes dangerous ones tho ^^
