yeah. having a multiplayer focused souls game and not having custom characters is insane to me. making a spinoff of a game that many people enjoy for the deep progression options and making it a run based roguelite is insane. Failing to balance the game for 1-2 players and making it 3 players ONLY is fucking insane.
It's like the worlds dumbest fucking suit looked at elden ring and thought they could fortnitify it

>>712872498 (OP)
its fun

>>712872498 (OP)
qq noob

game is good, seethe more faggots

>devs react to player created mods and choose to make something in reaction to something that has community interest
>the other portion of the fanbase can't fathom that 1/10 games in the series was made for a different part of the audience as an inbetween game after their biggest DLC ever last year
best part of the game is it filters scrub faggots like OP

it's fun. beat it with randos. wish there was more content.

>>712872498 (OP)
retardedly good

If they took this concept and combined it with BB chalice dungeons it would've been the ideal co-op rollsouls experience.

>>712872498 (OP)
you're retarded

>>712872619
My friend only wants to play to queue with me but he kinda sucks and even worse plays the dumb ass bird...

>>712872619
play guardian and follow her everywhere she goes with your shield out

>>712872498 (OP)
I'm having fun with it, but the servers are shit and randoms are cancer. It only works if you have a competent 3 person team.

>>712872638
>not having custom characters is insane to me
The characters are the best part and it's great for bringing the community together.
>making a spinoff of a game that many people enjoy for the deep progression options and making it a run based roguelite is insane
This is like complaining about the lack of platforming in Mario Party.
>Failing to balance the game for 1 player
The game is perfectly playable solo.
>It's like the worlds dumbest fucking suit looked at elden ring and thought they could fortnitify it
"Fortnitifying" would mean making a live service game with battlepasses and all that crap.

>>712872619
just don't die?

>>712872619
me and my friend were going to play ER co-op. I said we should find a third (I thought it was CLEAR AS FUCK BUT I GUESS NOT. I MEANT from our friend group or server)
they went to the official elden ring server and invited some random fuckwit redditor with a solaire pfp to our game man I was so pissed off. I don't want to babysit and humor some manchild who still thinks shouting nihil is funny I just wanted a chill play through. I endured our first session then told them I changed my mind and was burnt out on ER the next time

>>712874521
You should've told the random to fuck off and clarified yourself to your friend

>>712874770
I did. But I didn't blow up on them lol.

>>712874521
>invited some random fuckwit redditor with a solaire pfp to our game
I feel like I can hear their voice without knowing anything else about them

Was seminteresting to combo out the relics for a few hours on different characters (I didn't even play them all). Can't see myself ever playing it again though.

>>712874308
you can't address my points until you hop your gaping ass off that fromsoft cock

>>712873970
wtf does a doreo taste like?

so what is this game like as a solo cuck, is it an inferior experience

>>712876535
It's easier since the health of the bosses scales down and arguably less fun. Needing to coordinate with two other people while having no way to communicate besides pinging is a special type of enjoyment.

Does the ragequit penalty even do anything?
Feels like every other match I get grouped with some retarded zoomer cuck who runs off, dies, and immediately leaves.

>>712873478
It deserves 60%. Death to dumbass fanboys.

>>712877754
f i l t e r e d

>>712876535
It's fucking miserable. It was clearly designed around 3 people who are at least decent and can talk/work together. Anything else fucking sucks.

What's an "Oldest Gaol"? 50 hours in and I've yet to see one, managed to do everything else, but this.

>>712872498 (OP)
Playing Lies of P Overture was a breath of fresh air compared to this literal dogshit. It's fucking sad that koreans are mogging FROM of all companies. FROM should be ashamed for releasing this literal slop, I have buyers remorse and want my money back

As a friendless loser who absolutely despises people this game just doesn't seem interesting enough to me. Shan't be buying.

>>712878529
it's pretty fun solo, and honest to God sometimes playing with randos is much harder

>>712877754
>he got filtered

>>712877949
has an ancient dragon or death rite bird inside

>>712878984
It's a shamelessly low effort asset flip.

>>712879028
ah I got that shit by accident.

>>712879101
who cares about low effort when it's fun to play? You don't see people complaining about minecraft when it's a low effort sandbox game itself.

>>712879101
high effort asset flip actually.

>>712879493
but enough about Yakuza

>>712879653
also good games.

>>712874521
this game seems to be destroying friendships

>>712874072
I clear 90% of runs with randoms. 5% are disconnect problems 5% are genuine losses. I've never lost before the nightlord because any character can easily solo a night 1 or 2 boss even scaled for 3. I frequently forget to level up before the night 1 boss and do it at like level 3 or 5. I play every class except the bird. Fuck the bird.

PSA Duchess is a mage. Her int is her strongest stat. She has no fp regen mechanic but does almost the same output as recluse with magic.

>>712879896
It's a shame that nightlords just aren't weak to magic damage, and many are resistant, Duchess can outpace Recluse damage because of Restage on paper, but most sorceries being magic damage is kind of a nerf on direct casting. Also pretty easy to have nigh-infinite FP with starlight shards once I got proficient at getting into mage towers.

>>712880101
eh carian slicer is so broken even the resistant bosses melt.

>>712872498 (OP)
Souls has become such a cancerous parody of what it started off as.

>>712878984
>>he got filtered

>>712880380
Does it hurt you inside people find it really fun?

>>712872619
I got the game to play with a girl I like. Been playing it on my fun and queueing into randoms who know what they're doing is really fun even if I feel retarded. I even get adds when I do a good job. 7/10 game

>>712876535
It's not that bad apparently now that they added solo scaling after redditors complained it was too hard.

>>712880380
This narrative feels really forced to me. Like a few troons decided they wanted everyone to think this and they just repost this in every thread

>>712872498 (OP)
You don’t know how to play. You’re the dead weight team member who does no damage and dies constantly and dismisses it as the game being shit rather than you being shit.

>>712882792
as a newer player player I can't tell if I'm dealing significant damage.

>>712877949
It's just a random chance on any gaol. If you're achevo hunting, just do single player runs and farm the gaols. There's guaranteed keys at every ruined church (treasure chest behind altar on fire assholes, ghosts, and golem, up in the rafters by jumping up behind the altar on bubble boys), so just charge through those then try the closest gaol.

>>712879101
>asset flip
You don't even know what the term means

Finally killed that dumb smelly goat solo. hottest fight in the fucking game bar none GOD WHY WEREN'T FRENZY BOSSES REAL IN BASE ER WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH FROM SOFTWARE

>>712883507
this is the worst fight in the game by a few galaxies' width, it's literally a nothingburger featuring a bug with 99999999 HP that might spawn an instant kill laser after you dodge its reticule a few times.

Needs more variety and relics/items need to be more impactful. +3 Dexterity is like 5 extra damage, who cares.

>>712884105
Bloated rng for the gachacucks

Even with hacked currency I'm sick of looking at relics

>>712884267
>Even with hacked currency I'm sick of looking at relics
I hacked currency, rolled like 50 relics and none of them felt interesting
My best ones are just a single bloodborne rally relic, a wraith bell +2 magic, and a random sepukku orange relic. Shit's so bad.

>>712874308
>"Fortnitifying" would mean making a live service game with battlepasses and all that crap.
I'm not convinced this won't happen

>>712884452
The complication there is it takes a massive amount of devs to keep up with such a thing. Fromsoft's not gonna commit to that kind of thing right now, if ever, because of the incredibly difficult bureaucratic change they'd need to undergo just to accommodate it.

>>712883507
Thanks!

>>712884359
I lucked out and got great relics for Wylder at the start and everything else for everyone else is complete shit.

>>712884452
they've set it up to at least create content updates based on the DLC. for how long it's going to happen, we don't know

>>712874072
truth you have to have two friends to have a good time

>>712874901
>>712874521
Your friend must be a redditor to even think doing that was an acceptable course of action rather than asking within your own friend group, either that or he trolled you hard.

goddamn this game is really dead

>>712877420
I genuinely don’t know, I probably leave about 10% of the time and Ive noticed nothing.

>>712877949
Open a jail at level 10 or higher and get a random chance to fight a harder boss.
I got Ancient Dragon

>>712877949
That was the last achievement left for me too. Used the spawn with stonekey relic (+
Wraith Calling Bell) and bolted to the first evergaol in singleplayer -> reset until a appropriate boss spawned. You can just kill the boss with the wraith calling bell at low level if you run back to a bonfire to fill your FP once its out or just level up a bit after finding the boss, it won't despawn.
