Protocol 5 posted:This is way better if you have played Dark Souls but don't know what's coming. The first time I saw this I was confused wondering that the trick was supposed to be until I saw the invader's sword bounce back, immediately went, "Awwwww poo poo," and then the music kicks in and out comes the Greataxe. It's not the particularly creative, but the payoff is incredible. I have Dark Souls but haven't actually started playing it yet (it's behind a long list of poo poo I got last Christmas during sales) so I'm wondering what the sword bouncing off was. That was the one part of this I didn't get having no experience with the game. Is that like a parry? What exactly did he do that made the opening for the greataxe? That said even I got a great payoff from that moment. The music was perfect. Though the best part to me was the superimposed *gulp* backing up against the wall.

Yeah, if you can time the parry (pretty much just a short swat with the shield) right as the enemy's weapon is moving towards you, it connects and knocks the enemy off balance for a good two seconds or so. If you are in close enough and make a normal attack during this window, you make a riposte that deals horrific damage. You also need to predict when the enemy is actually making his attack. What you're seeing is probably a good second behind of what's really going on.

Cheat table hack guy sounds funny because he back stabbed with his fist. To clarify, backstabs with bare fists deal zero damage [relatively] and lock the other player into an animation that makes them invulnerable until they get up. It's about as harmful as jumpin out at somebody and yelling "SURPRISE", lt's just a quick scare more than anything, especially during a boss fight. I wonder, can invading characters attack the boss?

When the invaded person enters the boss room, you get unsommoned. it's literally getting to home base in baseball, but instead of getting a point, you fight a big monster and will most likely get shat on.

No I know this, but he was changing his phantom color using cheat engine while inside the boss room, where an invader shouldn't be.

Pretend-Newbie Guy is also wearing a ring that increases riposte/backstab damage and gives the user a special animation for those attacks.

It's only importing drama if you're upset about it and bringing it up solely for the purpose of whining and trying to bring attention to your awful, awful plight and this guy should TOTALLY be ashamed of himself MODS BAN HIM NOW. If it's a major grief and you're posting it for our amusement then by all means, tell us about it.

Also in regards to the very negative and image macro-laden reaction to someone admitting to using cheats, it's probably way healthier to play it by seeing whether the person is doing it to "win" or to entertain, though the line can be blurry. For example, I knew a guy who hacked in Modern Warfare deathmatches and thought it was pretty lame until I learned his explicit purpose for doing so was to harvest the explosive microphone rage from making the most unquestionably bullshit game-winning kills possible.

Not sure if it counts as grief, but it looked like a big pain in the rear end to setup, in a very early section of Dark Souls (Undead Parish) there is a large knight with a big Sword and a Tower shield. He's normally easy to dispatch on his own because it moves very slow, but when it hits it hits like a loving fist of god. I saw a video of somebody Gravelording the Parish, which basically puts high-damaging versions of the normal PvE enemies in the game world. On top of that he was using a seldom used spell 'Undead Rapport' which briefly turns undead to your cause. Lastly he'd use the Channeler's Trident special ability which gives a damage boost to your allies. The result was the Gravelord getting his victim to aggro the the Knight, whereupon the gravelord would join in and try to tie up his victim while the Knight came in and HULK-SMASH'ed those poor victims in a single blow.

In my mind, "griefing" implies there's something a little off or roguish about the behavior that's used to harass someone. Using that many disused and purpose-built elements to elegantly gently caress with people is just classy.

I don't play this game If you swear loyalty to a certain character you can use items to summon more powerful - extremely powerful at that - enemies into other players' games, that will persist until either they or another find your "sign" then use it to invade and kill you. This video shows an invader suffering it quite badly in the second half...

This is kind of a common complaint. Gravelording can lead to incredible griefs, but the Gravelord player barely has any feedback. They can't watch their black phantoms rip players apart, they can only get invaded by people who find his sign. The player in this situation might actually be a Gravelord (I don't know if Gravelords can be gravelorded) but it wouldn't really be a factor in the rest of the grief except for covenant weapons/spells.

Yeah gravelord covenant is a mess and the phantoms only show up on ng+ or more while not preventing people on new game from being infected. Only gravelord when trying to infect someone streaming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LILwbhy0Y5s Content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUJiBYX4NV0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5YSAcLOwPM Turncoat Mommy fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Jun 17, 2013 |

Coming up with Battlefield 3 again, I have a treat for you all. After seeing some comments on one of Panemon's videos I got wind of someone else responsible for stream trolling, but this guy doesn't hack. He instead spawns as support on the complete middle of nowhere side of any map and then suicides after dropping an ammo box, switching to a class that has the MAV. Then he has infinite MAVs he keeps using to follow and kill the streamer with by either ramming them or shooting them. His names go by InfiniteAmmoMAVs or [UMAV]ThatMAVTroll (With the troll dog tags). And he has done several videos and even has a new video planned and I was surprised to see just how upset he could make one person...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEG7nxBxMz8 I loving love Emarrel. Pretty much all of his videos - both PvP and PvE - are really good. This is one of my favorites of his PvP vids In the above video he invades and murders a guy repeatedly, so his victim turns on an infinite HP hack. Emarrel, not to be deterred from his bloody path, boots him off a cliff, killing him despite his bullshit. Another invasion later, the guy summons a partner to make it 2v1 AND continues to be a cheating twerp with infinite HP, and Emarrel still finds a way to boot him off a cliff and kill him.
