Then i let him be right. The difference is im not seething about how someone should be playing a game. I dont even tell my friends how they should playing games ive let them borrow. If they want my advice then they'll ask for it. Otherwise they can play as they wish.
I don't actually know what those are outside of the summoning bell. I'm currently doing a spiked caestus run and my original was greatsword+incantations. I can try these out though on my next run if someone tells me what they are.
and what if your own build happens to be the meta build
you do understand its called a meta build because a bunch of people realized it was strong on their first run throughs?
what is with these fricking whiners who join a game late and look up everything about it to learn what to do and what not to do instead of the pioneers who played the game without any information and told you what was strong from them figuring it out.
I'm at the age where I have responsibilities. I'm 28, have a girlfriend and a full-time, well-paying job, and I don't have the free time to sink into learning a nontransferable skill like "being good at Souls". Sorry that I'm not interested in being a waste of life like some of you.
There's nothing wrong with using any of those. What's wrong is that after using whatever insane OP combo you will inevitably get to smash 130 reskinned or duplicated bosses, nobody has any desire to replay or enjoy the game again because there's no longer any magic of discovery, which is 80% of the draw of Elden Ring unlike other Souls titles. People replay DS1, DS3, hell even DS2 because they enjoy the combat, or they enjoy fighting certain bosses, or they want to try a different build. Playing ER, you're exploring the world to discover 'what's in this cave', 'what's behind this rock'. Once you know that this cave has a +5% fire resist token you'll never want, and this rock is hiding a weapon that has no use for your build, you never bother going back there again. Your first playthrough of ER is going to be a great experience, but every single subsequent one will be a planned route of avoiding 90% of the game's content to speedrush to the actual items or spells you want in order to become OP faster in order to smash the endlessly repeated bosses you've already fought 10 times each, quicker. There's nothing wrong with any of those things you linked, besides the fact they're in a game like ER.
I just want to have fun
YOUR HAVING FUN THE WRONG WAY
i dont care about ur l33t strats now go be an autist somewhere wlse
What if he's right? What if there's more stuff to do and you're not exploring more options?

I don't play online so I don't care.

Meta builds are something i dont like for one reason, you're just copying somebody else
make your own way

YOU DIDNT BEAT THE GAME!

>says this
>still wasting time here
That’s BS if I ever saw one, homosexual.
The whole “but you’re on Ganker bro” as a counter argument for anything has always felt so fricking weak tbh
Because you have no proof and are trying to be an attention prostitute.
I’m not that anon, and I’m talking generally cause you see that reply on basically every board and it’s always rather stale imo
because talking about not having time to waste while wasting time on a forum means his claim is a fricking lie

Remember to use the co-op mod if you have any friends to play with anons.
If it's in the game I use it simple as.
NOOOO STOP IT YOU'RE PLAYING THE GAME WRONG
playing with anything but your mind is straight fricking gay.
