What's the hate against them? In my opinion if you're invading and forcing your way into a world you're gonna get ganked by a lot by coopers. Do you really expect to find a ton of solo players who don't know how to pvp? Put your sign down and if you still get ganked well bad on them.
I'm a frequent invader and deal with gankers all the time. I have no problem with them.

I got ganked off a summon yesterday. Most annoying thing I've ever encountered. They even let me fight it out with a guy 1v1, then mid fight backstabbed me. Then 'teabagged' me per say. The shittiest experience I've had thus far.
-
If I'm getting ganked I have no problem with using enemies to have an edge
-
Recently took down a party of three in the demon ruins with the help of that skeleton Boulder rolling around.....wish I would have saved that moment for share
-
This guy thought I was gunna summon people for him to fight lol get wrecked nerd
-
Farron Keep SL 51+ Who wants a piece of me? Honorable duels only = Dump ur flask, bow and no freaking range weapons (except for spells)
-
Tis why I stay offline
-
Yup I fully agree, if you invade others you forfeit any personal rules you set, if as an invader you get ganked a lot you either walk it off or don't invade, simple. But I also think that ganking red soapstoners is a bit douchy.
-
!!!! My Dark Sword will take care of everything. Im not tripping
-
Suh dude
-
Ganking is fine, so long as it's not a duel. Hiding behind enemies is fine, so long as you're being ganked. Ganking is not fine, if summoned by a red sign soapstone. Hiding behind enemies is not fine, if it's 1v1.
-
They annoy me BUT it is my fault for invading. Its usually people that suck who gank anyway so idc.
-
I define gankers as a party of 2+ where the host hits a red soapstone. That's some bullshit imo. Red Eye, it's totally the invader's fault for not being prepared to potentially square off against a party of three. Possibly with a seed in the equation. QQ. TL/DR *nods in agreement*
-
The only thing that pisses me off is invading. I have never invaded just one guy, it's sometimes 2, but most commonly 3. It usually just leads to me getting completely gang banged by phantoms.
-
There's a difference between getting ganked and getting put in a game with co-op players.

I have 2 PvP characters: a cosplay (cheap AF but fun/funny) and a full set Darkwraith. Both of which I use on a rotating basis. Most of the time I get into gank lobbies. I tell you this; chameleon and/or WoG fix that issue very well. Cloak upon entry, wait for backup (under protection covenants). Backup pulls gank squad to you, WoG or force the fools. Backup usually takes one out. Now they scatter. Each take on one. No more gank squad. Duel host. Or just R1 spam the mofos with a spear/rapier and be done with it. I have also been summoned into gank groups via white sign. Know what I do? I use my great shield to block the host from going back or lay prism stones leading to their hiding place. Sometimes even draw enemies over to join the invader. I do not support gank squads, unless they are even numbers.

Edited by Trestero: 5/11/2016 9:11:43 PMIf someone's actually trying to go through the area, they can use whatever they want to win and I won't really care. But look, I've got 40 invasions I NEED to do to get the platinum trophy and I'm not spending another 7 hours farming per covenant when the Blades exist already. If you're just sitting there with an area intentionally incomplete so your group of 4 people can stagger any poor asshole who needs the invasion into oblivion, you're more of a dick than the invaders and that's a problem from a societal perspective. The "you're the asshole" argument has a fatal flaw in that it's founded on the assumption that every host is just an innocent guy trying to beat an area. Eight times out of ten they're not if you're in the wrong area.
-
Same. If I invade you, ganking is fair. If you summon me into a gank though, your trash
-
Which is why i stayed away from pvp in one. I'd love to get 3, but I don't know if there is any kind of heavy sickle axe weapon. I need one for my character laylana.
-
ganking is fair if someone invades u
-
I think the problem is how the invasion system favors how many phantoms the host has instead of random like the other games.
-
If you invade then ganking is fine but if you are summoned and they are going to gank you, that is pretty scummy

Edited by puppyk1sses: 5/11/2016 6:58:52 PMThis is why I don't like DS. Never seen a game before that encourages griefing. Other developers frown upon it, stop it, and/or punish players that do it, but DS3 actually condone and support it. I don't doubt that it's a wonderfully put together game, but I will never be able to get over that fact.

Edited by Szeth6678: 5/11/2016 6:04:58 PMMy only problem with ganking in DS3 is when there are four of them in an area with the sole intent of waiting for invaders. 2v1, ok w/e. 3v1? Difficult but managable if you're careful. 4v1?? Wtf. Now, if they are legitimately just progressing through the game in co-op, that's fine. But when you're waiting for a 4v1 and rush one guy all at once? It just seems like a jerk move to me. Edit: Also, if you're an invader helping them 5v1 gank, you are scum.
-
I kinda find it amusing. The people that forcefully invade other peoples game to ruin their day are now complaining that they are being forcefully brought into another players game to ruin their day when they were in the middle of trying to ruin someone elses. Now I can kinda see where people that don't invade and simply put signs down are coming from, but I'll put money down that most of the ones that do that used to invade rather than summon and now are being punished for their past deeds.

Lol. I was running solo from pontiff to anor last night, got invaded by one guy. He couldn't touch me, kept trying to spam magic and use farron's Greatsword (bad idea against me, i know its moves too well). Then i got invaded by a second, and the first just ran to find him so they could try to tag team me. Of course dickbag 2 was using fume ugs. They kept trying to tag team me. All i could do was whittle them down until they ran out of estus. But i managed it. I love those dual katanas. Point is, diety bastards couldn't gank me even though they damn sure tried. Proud moment, can't believe i forgot to record it

I have no problem with it. Ganking is being a professional asshole (I invade that's not an insult) so If they have help I see no problem. Maybe change it up and invade with friends using the dried fingers
