Metal level for matchmaking?

So, is it 120 or 125 ?

Most people I see are saying 150 for this game since soft caps are at 80 rather than 40. Health, Mind, Endurance, and Arcane soft caps are around 60 though.
Tbh, it doesn't really matter cause if anyone is running any of the meta weapons, you'll die in 1-3 hits no matter the level. Even with 60 vigor, insta bleed builds will stagger you out of your rolls and just chain stagger you until you die.

it's 125 i would wait for them to nerf all the overtuned stuff first though

Will probably be a bit unless From realizes that bleed is overtuned. Give it 3-6 patches... so wait until next year :^)

Yeah bleed will be nerfed eventually because the damage proc is for PVE, and clearly NOT pvp where they can trap you in uncounterable dex based combos. It just does not work.

On the side I've been playing freely, and casually. Not trying to rush the game or nerf, or cheese anything in my play through.

So think I can at least confirm to myself the 'NATURAL' PVE growth of the game will very EASILY take you into the 125-150 range. This is def a fact based on my experience of the game, and at the very least can confirm that it's insanely stupid to try, and get ppl to stay at level 70 as the pve open world will take you way past that with no effort.

Literally just naturally.

My money is on 150, but at this point you can get matches at any level. When the dust settles (post patches, post DLC) we'll know for sure

I suggest doing pvp around level 30 or 60. Theres only a few people running one shot builds. Low level pvp is the most fun at the moment either as an invader or host. Most pvp fights will last a bit since people wont be dealing insane damage aside from yet more people twinking with rivers of blood or some other weapon that procs bleed instantly. Only ever saw 2 people doing the magic parry glitch in the 5 hours I've been invading.

If you do go to 120-150, duels are where its at. You can have some fun in invasions if you're also running something stupidly meta but if you wanna use something other than a one shot build, duels will probably be the most fun for you. At least, thats how it's been for me.

I'm invading at level 80 in Leyndell and it's the most fun I had invading so far, in a few hours of invasions I saw only one moonveil and rivers of blood comboes.
Most of the time it's people just playing the game with varied builds trying to get through the area which results in some really fun fights.

I'd also agree with the above comments that while the low levels for pvp are silly for the sake of PVE, people are enjoying it a bit. Truth is that is what it is all about, just playing the way you love.

Given the young age of the game this prob is good pvp in the 60-80 range because of variety, but that is JUST temporary, and will move entirely into the 100+ range. You can't fight that inevitability because of the natural game growth, but yes you can hide in very low level pocket communities if that is your jam.

Just don't be surprised when it all boils down/dies, which it 100% will because it's not natural to the PVE growth cycle.

U must be lucky because when I invade in leyndell at that level I only get RoB/veil gank duos or greatshield spammers
