Hey all, just need to talk about this for my own conscience I suppose. When it comes to PvP etiquette, there are major differences between invading and duels, correct?
In an invasion, if Im the host, I will do everything in my power to kill the invader. They arent welcome, they arent invited, theyre just there to be a pain in the butt and prevent my progress, and/or waste some of my humanity if they kill me. I understand lots of people will say that being alive in the first place is invitation enough, but when you're going through the game and need some help, such as summoning an NPC phantom for a boss fight, you need to be alive.
I feel that if you want a fair fight with all the bowing and no healing and whatnot, don't invade. Drop your red sign somewhere or go to the arena, etc. There are ways to be welcomed into a world for a duel, and if you want that kind of fair fight then go through those routes.
Now, I usually play with a couple friends, and I will admit to farming invaders unfairly sometimes. We would gang up around the spawn area in Kiln or such, use the finger to reset the invasion timer, rinse and repeat. Some say thats bad mannered, some might thank us though as well as discouraging gankers from being a pain in the rear when the hosts are just trying to progress.
What is the general consensus, however? Invasions are no holds barred? Or are you supposed to bow and go 1v1 with invaders even if youre teamed up in your game?
