Fuck Dark Souls invaders though, you make a great game and then make a few features available only under the condition that I waste my time babysitting this mix of hyperventilators and actual cheaters.

most of the time when people say 'actual cheaters' they mean 'they had a build that was way stronger than i thought you could have at that point in the game.'

They should have at least let you make it to the boss fog to cancel it.

you can. that's how it works in the first dark souls, at least.

No that situation is merely bullshit. If there was someone to turn to and ask "Well what did you want me to do there? That seemed like it was just a bit of cheap antagonism to elongate and suck the fun out of my current task." every time it happened then I would.
If you wanna throw in dead angles and teleporting backstabs and any other funny ideas this so called fair game might get, sure, do it.

What I'm talking about is the stabs that send you to the Ash Lake and curse you. Or the maxed out health stats you have to use bleed to maybe fight back against or the busted cheat detection that decides you, the victim, are actually the cheater and give you the punishment.
Oh. And it's actually unsafe to play, if you remember why the servers were pulled down on PC in the first place.

I've made it to that O&S fog gate with some loser still fumbling around in the back and I was not offered the prompt to go through.
I remember another time I was doing an NG+ playthrough as a Smough cosplay and it gave me the same shit in Sens Fortress. Couldn't walk into Iron Golem, had to wait for the idiot to catch up and have the world's most boring competitive flailing contest with him. He died fairly quickly and I wasn't ever getting the time I had to spend waiting back.
You can pull the plug if you really want to insta-DC but aside from that, you are made to accommodate these timewasters.

honestly, they tend to be so terrible that as long as you can throw a lloyd's at them they won't have any idea what to do.

I've made it to that O&S fog gate with some loser still fumbling around in the back and I was not offered the prompt to go through.

you know, maybe that's a ptde thing. i know you can get away from invaders in the remaster, because i also know you can rip someone out of the fog gate with a backstab in the remaster.

Oh well there you go, I didn't buy the remaster. DS2 told me to drop the series on the spot and stick to the instalments I know I like. When I saw DSR announced I was more excited about PTDE's online being discontinued.

I'll stick to the good ending where every covenant except Chaos Servants stops functioning and the chaos friends presumably celebrate by decorating their room and maybe buying a TV.

There is no good ending to the Kaathe's Pyramid Scheme faction. You buy the NFT-I mean Red Eye Orb that doesn't do anything anymore and then have no fellow Darkwraiths to try and pawn it off on.
The Abyss isn't even fully dark, it has a bonfire in it.

And that is?

A try hard is someone that notices his premade team is utterly dominating a team of randoms, but still proceeds to spawn kill them and takes every opportunity to go for afk players.

A try hard is someone that uses aim hacks because it enhances their performance, and tried to justify that they arent cheating.

A try hard is someone who sees a pro player win a tournament with a rarely used character, and immediately tries to replicate them in online matches just because they think the character is high tier.

A try hard doesnt care about the foe randomly stopping in the middle of a fighting game. The clocks ticking and they have to take this opportunity to win. Who cares if maybe the opponent had their controller disconnect or something.

Etc.

I never did quite understand try hard as a insult, lol. When my friends and I first heard it, it was during our gears of war ranked days. We used to squad up and just destroy a lot of other teams, but that is the entire point of playing ranked. In quickplay we will stay play to win but....not as serious I guess.

But yeah actually communicating and crossing dudes up (all this was in gears terms was just shooting at someone from two different directions with a lancer or hammerburst. Basically just playing the game with it's cover system as intended, lol) in gears of war 3 used to have dudes super heated and sending tons of hatemail.

Actually, just wall-bouncing well in gears can get you hatemail. Gears of war just had a very angry community in general.

Trying to play past your skill level is being a try hard. Like that kid in school who played basketball at recess and breathes really hard and makes spazzy movements but has no skill. That's a try hard. That kid thats calm and composed but still killing it, thats being good.

In WoW terms, and maybe other MMOs, being "sweaty" means doing absolutely everything you can possibly do to push your DPS numbers as high as they can go.

We're not the type of guild that focuses on that, but we have one member who does, and we joke about his sweatiness along with him. He genuinely does some of our best damage, but he's not arrogant about it, which is great. If he was he'd be insufferable, lol.

Well people use it wrong then. I've been called a try hard just for winning. I've never tried learning any high level skills or anything I just play the best I know how from just playing the game.

It was probably because I was playing pretty aggressively. As in non stop on the offensive.

Sweaty, tryhard, no life, etc. are just things that salty scrubs say to cope with their losses.

Like Ive had people say Im a tryhard just because they got stomped in a fighting game, and that theyre just playing for fun. I dont understand why they cant comprehend that I am as well. Its just that I have fun because I know how to play better than them, which is usually done by knowing how my character(s) work, which gives me more options and creativity with combos.

It would be like if I were a quarterback. If I were a clueless button mashing scrub, that would be the equivalent of a QB running the same play over and over again. It would be boring to experience and easily stopped. But as you improve and add more plays to your repertoire, it becomes more interesting and more likely for you to succeed.

I don't agree with attacking or killing people afk either. Like I might pause for a second but I ain't gonna just ignore them and move along.

Now if it's legit the start of a match I'll give them a moment. Taunt them act like I'm gonna attack, actually attack but whiff it intentionally etc. Cause I get it sometimes you think you got enough time to run and take a piss before the match starts.

Usually, when I hear about sweaty gamers it tends to be a dig at poor health and or hygiene. Oh well, this old man understands he's not a hip cool cat anymore...

Anyway, I never got how try hard was supposed to be an insult. Most of the times, it's used when someone is getting stomped and they're trying to play it off. "It's not me who's bad it's you who's trying too hard!" That just sounds pathetic.

I get if someone is being over-competitive in a friends group, not matching at all the others energy level but strangers in an online game..? That doesn't really apply.

Maybe someone really into trash-talking an opponent they're defeating handily? Even then, my feeling would be more "whatever bro" than "stop putting so much effort into being good at this game!"

i do a lot of invading in the souls games and part of my toolkit absolutely is trying to look afk if i think it means i can get even just one free shot at the host. but i also know how to deal with players that do that and it's 'murder the shit out of them as soon as you can'.

Yeah, we already got someone in here saying someone using aimbots is tryhard. That's just straight up cheating lol. They're not trying to try at all.

it really depends on the cheater. i've invaded and killed cheaters that were obviously new to the game and were just playing with a trainer - fun fact, damage that exceeds their max health will still kill invincible players in at least dark souls 1 - and i've done the same to meta-squatters whose ego didn't quite match their talent level.

I guess it depends on the game. In a fast paced shooter, I'm more prone to just kill them and keep moving. In a fighting game, I'll get a few hits in so I can win by time, and spend the rest of the match sitting around waiting for them to move.
I played a fighting game where the other person went afk, so I just sat there with him, and he waited until the last few seconds to start fighting back. That wasn't a bad strategy lol. I would have actually been pissed if I lost that.

Sweaty is just when you can tell a dude is going above and beyond trying to win.
