Well, yeah. I'm trying to kill the boss of a dying world, I don't want to have to deal with some pvp optimized dick hole whose sole existence is to ruin my progress with no risk to themselves. If I lose, I lose my souls and an ember. If they lose..they just Crack another orb. I just feel like there should be a slight risk or cost to invade and a happy reward for me for successfully fending off a dick head.

Play offline or don't ember. Jeez.

Everyone who continually lists a host's advantages misses an extremely significant invader advantage.

The invader is always prepared for PvP to happen. The host is not. It's entirely possible to go through the entire PvE game with a PvP-unfriendly build (hello sorcery) and have invasions be nothing but frustrating. It's possible to stick yourself in a corner for five minutes so you can go handle the laundry and come back to a lost ember and a level to re-clear. It's possible to be a person who hates PvP and intentionally doesn't summon hordes of friendly phantoms because you'd prefer the PvP segment of your day to be over as soon as humanly possible.

I'm not saying this perfectly balances the invader/host disparity or means PvP should be skewed more toward hosts. But when you're defending invading you should remember that your playstyle is not the only one that exists and calling people whiners for having a different playstyle is pure silliness.

If you're embered you should be prepared and ready for an invasion. That's kind of the point.

It should just give me one is what I'm saying. I am saying they should reward players for successfully fending off invaders that's all.

The reward for a successful defense is keeping your health boost and ability to summon.

He hid as a small tree in a group of trees and the invader couldn't find him.

He edited his post to make sense, it had something about dual invaders and puff trees before

Ah ok, the edited version still is barely a coherent thought.
