    I used to like them, but everyone keeps stealing each other's jokes and repeating them endlessly. It was fine in the old games, but the amount skyrocketed in Elden Ring to the point that I just never read messages anymore because 9 times out of 10 it's the same one.
    I guess if I had to say one I like the pure and simple joke of putting something akin to "the real dark souls starts here" in front of an easy early boss in all the games. Tower Knight and Soldier of Godrick in particular.

        Just a moronic meme that came from ER's messages not having turtle, which matters for the wise beast side quests. Dog became a substitute and people started spamming it. The whole thing is just an unfunny forced meme, like Let Me Solo Her.

    In ER, there is this area in north Altus Plateau, basically looks like a small ankle deep bog. There is absolutely nothing in there, but it's a decently sized open space with some undead in it. It almost looks like a spawnpoint of a deathbird or something.
    On every one of my playthroughs I've placed a variety of "try night and then behold, enemy" messages, and every single one of them got a lot of negative appraisals. I just like to imagine people going to the nearest bonfire, which is quite far ways off, passing time to night, then running all the way back to find absolutely nothing. It fills me with joy for some reason.

          There is a road in the capital that shows up in the map but is crumbled in-game. Like the comment said I think it is immersive, but of course it could also just be a From frick-up that gets patched later on. It is impossible to distinguish the two and I don't think people who believe in the former should be laughed at.

    Probably no one here will remember this because it is super specific, but in Elden Ring there's a catacomb with arrow traps and big enemies. At some point you walk in a corridor and there is a big enemy on the end of the corridor, but halfway through you activate an arrow trap that kills the big enemy for you.

    At the Raya Lucaria Academy, in front of the super high ladder of the bell tower where you find the Full Moon Crossbow, down in front of the ladder there was a message that said:
    >Visions of dream...

    And I found it hilarious. Only 6 approvals.
    But every super long ladder has a message with that reference. I just never noticed it before.

              To be fair, DaS1 had invisible pathways. DaS2 has the underground area with giants in the black gultch. DaS3 has the path to Darkmoon blade dragon girl.

              But he said that he was playing it blind and it was his first souls game, so he had no reason to assume any invisible ground gimmick. And even if he did play the game, he'd know that they don't just throw invisible floors without proper introduction.

      No. I love phantoms, they make me feel like I am not struggling alone. I also love messages.

      Bloodstains are the feature that always leave me confused. They would be much better if they also showed the monster that killed the player. If they only show the player rolling around and then suddenly doing a death animation that's not very helpful or entertaining.

          That would make sense, but then why do they allow me to see the player's last movements? I just think that specific feature (of watching the player die) leaves a feeling of blue balls.

    Is there any way I can learn how the message system work? What decides what messages I can see? Do they have an expiration date? If I place my message next to another, will both show up simultaneously to other players, or is there a risk that only one of them will show? Is it tied to the player's level/weapons? Does your progress in the world influence what messages you can/can't see? For example, I have the distinct impression that beating a boss unlocks new messages around the arena, but it's hard to prove it.
