      Elden Ring is only five months old. It will see a huge boost in sales around the holiday season. And then some time after the holidays, when they see sales numbers begin to dip, they will announce a DLC right before the one-year anniversary, and, BOOM go the sales again.

      Behold! ---

      Thirteen years since Demon Souls was released.
      >Demon Souls + Bloodborne + Sekiro + Dark Souls + Dark Souls 2 + Dark Souls 3 = 25 million copies sold

      Five months since Elden Ring was released.
      >Elden Ring = 16 million copies sold

      Elden Ring now accounts for well over half of all previous FromSoftware titles ever sold. Elden Ring is far and away the most successful FromSoftware title and it is only getting started.

      In fact, is one of the most successful video games of all-time. Elden Ring, as it is only five months old, hasn't even experienced the rapid boost of holiday season sales yet. Check back on Elden Ring sales in March 2023 when Elden Ring is one year old.

              Turns out taking away solo invasions and spreading players thin across a large open world was a bad idea. Doesn't help that they removed all multiplayer modes except invasions and cut all the covenants, this game needs a DLC real bad.

                Everyone says that taking away solo invasions killed activity, but how true actually is this in practice? Co-op parties were basically the only fricking people you paired up with in Dks3 anyway thanks to the matchmaking priority.
                Also I seriously hope this patch means that multiplayer items basically cover the entire region you're in, that alone would be a serious boon towards the game's activity and really should have just been how they work from the start.

                I have 1600 hundred hours in DS3 and I invaded solo players all the time, it all depends on where you invade, like in irithyll where people just come out of a bossfight with an ember. Around 40% of all my invasions at sl60 was solo players that went on to summon phantoms and blues AFTER I invaded them. It's a scenario you will never see in Elden Ring.
                I firmly believe it makes a huge difference.

                And these two things are unrelated.
                Elden Ring sold more because of marketing and streamers, not because of a core feature being botched.
                If you wanted to talk about player retention, PvP being lack luster would be much more relevant there. DaS3 was still active years after it's launch yet Elden Ring is dead after mere months. Hell, most of the fair weather homosexuals that Elden Ring picked up didn't even bother to beat the game.

                Why should thy give two fricks about if people are playing their game 10 years after launch, that dosen't make them a penny why do you think they haven't bothered to try an get the servers for DS1-3 up? Because they have no reason to why should they care if 20 thousand die hards are put out, they have millions of normies who are gonna buy the ER's dlc and blitz through it with their friends and never once bother with revisiting it or even properly finishing it. You seem to be forgetting the core rule that is money is the only thing that matters From doesn't care one bit about their old fans as long as they have new fans to replace them, and even if there are people at From who think otherwise they're gonna get shouted down by the investors lured in by the smell of 13 million sales in 5 months.

                It did though, the multiplayer community was still a driving force in generating sales years after the game launched.
                >why do you think they haven't bothered to try an get the servers for DS1-3 up?
                A better question would be, why did they keep them up that long to begin with? The answer is, because it benefits them. They're still working on a fix for the souls games, the communication we've gotten has been typical of FromSoft.
                >they have millions of normies who are gonna buy the ER's dlc
                And that means that From would suddenly disincentivize PvP because...?
                If From didn't want people to PvP, they'd have just fully removed it from the game you moron.
                >You seem to be forgetting the core rule that is money is the only thing that matters From doesn't care one bit about their old fans as long as they have new fans to replace them
                If that's true, and you've given nothing to suggest that it is, then the DLC will have to do gangbusters. It's much more likely that the DLC will underperform, because most of the flavor-of-the-month streamer chasing morons have already moved on.

                You know I wrote a whole bunch of stuff addressing each of your points but then I realized I was talking to a man who legitimately thought that all of the souls series success was due to a fun side game mode that got taken way too seriously by autists that make melee fans look like well adjusted people. Souls PvP has never been a driving force of the games, it's always been the prepare to die, le so hard xddd meme, when people discuss the games years after, what do they talk about?
                they talk about the art design or the music or the lore or the difficulty, maybe mentioning the co-op or the invasion systems. The simple fact that PvP got less important in every entry almost entirely because of peoples disinterest or dislike in it culminating in ER's complete minigame mode of a PvP is all the proof I need.
                Also still spewing insults like a toddler who just learned how to swear, clearly you are the smart one.

          DaS 3 had like 1/10th of the playerbase ER has. Obviously it retained more players simply because by the very nature that ER was a huge cultural phenomenon that millions of normies played. Meanwhile DaS games never expanded their playerbase past their core audience. bigger, mainstream playerbase = more people will quit once they're done. That said, even now ER's player count completely dwarfs and other Fromsoft game.

        Souls games aren't really for single player gays like you. DS and DS3 both got played for years after release because the pvp and invasion system was that fun. But now thanks to normie tourists, fromsoft has nerfed the shit out of the thing that made their games what they are today. I hope they take note that the lifeblood of their online games are the pvpers and invaders. If it wasn't for the invasion system I 100% guarantee you these games wouldnt be where they are today. The pump and dump shitters that jump to the next hyped things are not what built it up.

            >Blues were actual invaders too and not some shitter hoping to join a gank only to become an estus recharge
            And best of all we had gravelord covenant. I never had as much fun in a souls game as putting my sign down in some hard part of the game and infesting some random shitter's world with overpowered npcs blocking their path. They had to find my summon sign to invade my world and try to kill me to remove the npcs from their world. These shitters never could. Nothing better than sending the same idiot back to his world over and over again. Not letting him progress through the game if he couldn't beat me.

            That absolute glorious kino will never happen again because of single player wienersuckers and tourists. Even modding homosexuals are intent on killing the pvp of this game.
            There's nothing better than non consensual pvp. I hope some other developer takes the mantle for that kind of mechanic and isn't afraid of normie ass sniffers.

                Frankly, equipment invasion range limits things a lot, it'd be nice if they refined their scaling and just let you invade people with scaled down stats, buildup, estus and weapons.
                Would go a long way towards opening up invasion pools, and also let non autistic people get into pvp a bit easier with their endgame characters after they finish the pve and are looking for something else.

                Scaling stats might be problematic, since you could find yourself with insufficient requirements after invading, making your build entirely useless. Scaling only damage, HP and stamina would mean you could still invade with heaviest gear and highest level spells available.
                Estus charges are also not easy to scale due to the split allocation, since you could randomly have your 1 FP flask turn into 0 instead of just losing another HP flask.

                You're right on some of those, I assume they could just scale the damage, but you're right that you'd still have some utility you wouldn't otherwise, just seems incredibly stupid to limit it the way it's limited now, especially with password phantoms and such being able to totally ignore that via scaling, but invaders can't.

                The Bloodborne style matchmaking that forces you into fighting groups has given me a taste for blood. It's not enough to just kill the shit out of some clueless newbie anymore, I want to be this fricking serial killer menace that tears down all of the host's allies and watch them despair as they realize they have no hope of surviving and that the crutches they've been using to breeze through the whole game uncontested have been kicked out from under them.
                It's such a goddamn special experience watching a player that is super cavalier fighting alongside their buddies suddenly fold and run away pissing themselves when all their friends are dead and knowing that it won't save them, you don't get that fighting solo players.

                It was fun doing that for the first month of the game. I had a rule to leave the host for last on all my invasions. Felt like the terminator. But the problem is that as the game gets older and the fresh blood leave, you're left with absolute degenerates that could never make it in a 1 v 1 or 1 v x, so they sit with their buttbuddies waiting to cheese people trying to invade and then point down at them as if they were good at the game.
                No matter who you are, you're not gonna beat a group of shitters with overleveled phantoms using the cheesiest shit in the game and exploits to beat an outnumbered player. Even the greats of doing just that like Jeenine have pretty much given up on the elden ring because the pvp system is so shit and they've taken forever to even balance it out.

                Getting through the early game and surviving the shitty twinks was part of the trial. It was a good filter for casual homosexuals that didn't belong there.
                And 99% of the twinks were terrible players that you could bully if you knew how to play.

                I do think a limit on equipment isn't that bad but there has to be a better way. At least let us downgrade equipment or something. Nothing felt shittier than going through the game collecting everything on a character you want to play at certain level only to accidentally over level a twinkling titanite weapon that just happens to count as 2x the level of normal weapon absolutely bricking all the work you did.

                I was so fricking paranoid about that on elden ring I played through the game on my first playthrough at around soul level 70 and beat melania with my weapons at around +6 because at the time i didnt know how special weapons scaled or how the invasion item levels were gonna be. I wanted to start mid level invading as soon as I finished the game so I had to suffer through that shit.

    Why didn't they do this a while back? Feels weird to make a balance patch adjusting Rivers of Blood when the game came out 6 months ago.

                But seriously, though. Why do people romanticize Mohg and Miquella at all? The former is literally a child rapist who kidnapped the latter, and I'm fairly certain Miquella was banging his sister. The game itself points out that Mohg is a delusional moron who ruined a good man's plan to help the outcasts of society.

                If Zullie was a troony, you can bet that his profile and channel would be constantly talking about it.

                Some people actually have gender dysphoria and aren't just doing it for attention and a higher position on the victimization pyramid. People like that tend to go out of their way to not mention they're transgender, as opposed to the attention seekers who mention it every chance they get.

                Nta bit it's far more evidence than thinking Mogh gets anything when we're literally told Miquella gives him the cold shoulder completely. Not only that, the pedophile only kidnaps Miquella's cocoon and body, which doesn't even have him anymore as he is now some weird dream thing. Moghpedophiles are both coping and need the rope.

                That's literally all in-game except the GRRM stuff, but that's a meta thing. There is less evidence of Miquella caring about Mohg at all, much less liking him.
                I didn't even mention the cut content that says Miquella and Malenia are bound together by destiny or some shit like that.
                The point is that even if you don't think Miquella and Malenia were fricking (which is completely fine since most people would find that weird), there is still more support for that than any of the Mohg x Miquella shit.

                Outside of /ss/ fetishism, I still think it was interesting that Miquella abandoned the Golden Order to form his own tree just so he could save his sister. I wish that the Haligtree had more stuff like Malenia's prosthetics. Imagine if there were things like clockwork soldiers or something like that.

            But since bosses force you to rollspam to such a extreme amount anyhow, since spacing isn't enough?
            Its not as much a option as being force to use it to deal with Radagon.
            Doesn't help that it outdamages Carian Grandeur pretty fast either.

            I guess this means Dart is now the option for enemies that try to go to the edge of your lock on range, Pebble is still the gold standard, and everything over that is still a partial waste of FP unless you really need the base damage of charged Glintstone Comet.

      The Varre change is literally just a move towards preservation once the servers inevitably go down/allowing people without internet or who can't pay for console online subscriptions to not miss out. Elden Ring and DeS are actually the outliers in that they have content absolutely gated behind multiplayer interactions with no workaround.

        preservation of what, everything you get from the questline you can get from other non perishing sources (moghwyn access, recusant finger, etc) only thing you actually miss out if theres no servers is the edgy blood red eyes, everything else you can get eventually

          You're missing some points here.
          Subjectively, this preserves the story experience of Varre's questline should a new player be interested in doing it after the servers are gone.
          Objectively, this allows players to access the area early, obtain the red eyes, and get the completely unnecessary trinket that teleports them there.

          Was this needed? Not really no.. But you yourself pointed out an objective "reward" unique to the questline, you answered your own question.

        effigy is much more efficient if you want random co-op (just make sure to activate the summon pools first) and your sign wont abruptly disappear so you dont have to stress over babysitting it
        furled finger still has a purpose but is much more niche, e.g. being summoned by friends in a specific location or if you want to help people fight a boss before the handful of fogs that dont have summon pools

        i'm guessing that the golden effigy will now send your sign to multiple summoning pools based on the patch notes?

                Faith this time got Catch Flame and Pest Threads. And actual AOE giga spells that destroys bosses.

                But that isn't what its refering to.

              Had a thriving playerbase until their PVP overhaul, thats all that matters.
              What anon is implying as a fix would only ruin the game. PVP is largely non-existent in souls games already, its like 1% of the playerbase actively doing it.

          Not at all, that's DS1 has this problem because of how the SL only matchmaking worked and how much upgrades boosted base weapon damage.
          In DS1 a weapon gets x5 damage at max level while in DS2, DS3 and ER a weapon gets around x2 to x3 damage at max.
          Plus the weapon matchmaking prevents any of that one shot bullshit.

          Another blunder in DS1 was 99 softH farming giving players 99 phys def, the equivalent of the Knight Set as base defense when you're naked at SL1.
          Tryhard invaders were nigh-invincible while being able to one shot noobs even in the mid-game.

          This is why nobody bothered with DS1 PvP after DS2 came out, it was simply a clustefrick, especially the backstabs.

      Coliseums are too little too late, the game is flawed from the ground up when it comes to invasions and multiplayer, this is a band aid at best. New story should be neat, if they add pvp continents back through it, with rewards for scoring kills, and/or"defensive summon" areas, that could bring back some more multiplayer life, while giving solo/group players reasons to engage with PVP, other than ego stroking.

      The only real metric making pvpgays casuals is they failed to police themselves and allowed their own ilk to ruin pvp for everyone.
      A less casual group would have had standards and kept a baseline. They pandered to lowest common denominator instead, now have no pvp options in older games and no one in elden ring will play with them and disconnects instead.
      All because they wouldn't act civilized.

        But invasions ARE a casual game mode. Invaders literally have nothing to lose, they invade from bonfires with 0 progress and don't need souls on them. It's literally a win/win scenario. Meanwhile killing an invader is worthless, you may not make it to the next bonfire to even use those souls, it's lose/lose for the host. How are hosts the casuals when WINNING is useless to them while invaders lose nothing by even losing, they don't even need souls besides maybe for replenishing consumables.

            Ah, yeah, I wasn't disagreeing. Honestly there's nothing even wrong with invasions being a casual game mode, but as is it's only a casual game mode from the invader's side. Though From clearly has no idea what to do with invasions given that after FIVE games with invasions, invasions are still 99% invader content and 1% host content and then From is confused why there are a shortage of hosts. Why can't hosts get covenants with weapons and armors?

                There aren't even people to invade, making people not what to invade is not a solution. We need to get people to want to be invaded. A slightly bigger health bar and more flasks did a better job of that than being able to co-op.

              Hosts can't get invaded unless they summon outside of bosses.

      Anon, Fromsoft games HAVE 1v1 fighting modes, invaders don't want to do that. They don't want to fight John Darksouls or Jane Eldenring, they look for Little Timmy and Little Billy to have their pvp with.

      PVP is either dualgays, fightclubs or greifing.
      FROMs version is good because thematically the griefing makes sense, on top of a lot of flashy gameplay mechanics that don't involve juggles.

            That sounds good too. I think I didn't express myself well - what I meant is that I want From Software to heavily focus on polishing the combat for AC as much as humanly possible to make the game as skill expressive as something like Sekiro. Obviously not the same mechanic, I want something new, but yeah I agree with the story needing some broadening too.

            Not at all, invasions were x1000 times more cancerous in DS1 and DeS.
            DS3 only really had annoying invaders at the start with dark hand but overall mid-lategame shit was way more fair with DPS values between an average even noob host and a tryhard minmaxer being less than 25%, about the same as the default HP host advantage of being embered.

                No, it means that invaders have to actually know what they're doing to beat ganks or be extremely sneaky, since they can't just get free wins by having +15 weapons in the starting areas and one shot noobs.
                It's a very fun asymmetric MP experience when often even the PvE gets involved as the invader is often near death getting chased by a gank.

                I've invasions where I was left with zero heals and half HP and I managed to win by running near a mimic, getting him to grab and kill a blue and that refilled 2 estus. Then I managed to recover and beat the host and white phantom.
                By comparison, 90% of DS1 invasions devolved into the host running back to the bonfire or some other safe and waiting, never advancing through the PvE like 3 man ganks will often do in DS3.

            Stars of Ruin is one of those spells that is really obnoxious when facing off against multiple opponents like a gank squad. The mage hangs out in the back spamming Stars while his bleed build buttbuddies chase you all over the place. The only real counter to that is to run away forever, which is really fricking lame.

          Ruins Greatsword is a fantastic weapon, though it's more Strength than Int. Another I would recommend is the Royal Greatsword or the Darkmoon Greatsword, but do remember that the latter is primarily Int.
          For spells, I'd recommend Carian Slicer and other fast attacks that can help you against more annoying enemies. It's a bit of a shame that Int doesn't have that many utility abilities.

      They can invade the scraps easier but hosts are still NOPEing the frick out of invasions. While it's easier for an invader to find a host now, all the invaders will be doing the same thing so they still end up in the same situation where there's too many invaders and not enough hosts.

      It is, yeah. The charge attack works wonders against people.

      Is the Ruins Sword weapon skill the one that does a frontal gravity magic cone?

      Its skill is a large line of gravity magic, but its charged heavy does the short ranged cone. Really fun weapon all around.

      I thought Godrick was in the network test as well.

      Nah, Stormveil ends before you can fight him.

        Yes, I get tons of it in the midgame at SL60-80.

        Anything beyond lvl 80 or is 100-120 dead for invading?

          RL80 seems like the best (worst) time you'll have with invasions with +17 weapons.

          No 120 has about the same activity, maybe slightly less than 80.
          Only under 50 has low activity because in early areas ppl don't summon outside of bosses.

            lv 30 has pretty good activity if you don't upgrade your weapon too far
            plenty of people still summon for Stormveil castle

              It's literally true, you can summon, the boss can't.

              If you want to use it or not that's your decision, but the game is balanced around you having these ashes lmao.

          130 is what I'd call the extreme dead end. Most people go to 120~ and stop at 125 as a soft rule. I'm pretty sure at 80 you'll be in the top end sometimes just based on the metrics anyway.

      How to out yourself as someone who can't beat the game without having to rely on unbalanced mechanics that were clearly not intended to be as powerful as they currently are.
