What are all of these stupid messages I see. Is there any purpose?

[innocent angle]

yes

[protium1]

I haven't found a way to disable them yet, but I ignoring them at this point. 50% of them have been "try fingers, but hole"

[YME]

yep wish i could disable that trash

[Grizz_FMJ]

Yeah I ignore them mostly. 80% of them are useless garbage someone wrote.

[protium1]

I have a real problem with the immersive fantasy world I paid for being littered with idiocy. Surly there must be a way to disable this?

[Murden]

Did the designers put these in or are they somehow generated by the players? Super annoying.

We know. It's beautiful.

You seem to be all new to the series here. I dare to say 95% of player messages are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If you don't want to see them, just don't read them, or just play offline.

Early in the game you get an item to leave messages. When someone upvotes your message you get health back. But with each Fromsoft game the messages have disolved into mostly Fromsoft memes.

Yep, playing in offline mode now, problem solved.

There are a very few amount dropped by the developers, mostly in the starting area. Once you step out, 99.9% of them are left by players.

It's designed that way to sort of encourage cooperation through exploration. Though, yes, a good sizable amount (especially in the first two regions) will be meaningless drivel, misnomers, baits and, on rare occassion, spoilers.

It's sort of the charm in Darksouls online play. You have the option to play offline and not see them, but then you can't play with friends or invade. So it's sort of a double edged sword.

It's literally the very first item you pick up.

My personal fav is when some asshat puts a message on an interactable object and in trying to use the object you just keep reading the message.

Always said this community was ass, nice to see some things never change.

Yes, I did try. I have no issue with PvP, so I was fine with online play. However, I would rather play offline than have litter in the game. There simply is no option to disable the messages in online play. If this is what the online player base wants, that's fine. I will just stay offline.

EDIT: lol, yeah, no, I didn't try the finger meme lmao.
