Community manager Hi

[Arokhantos]

There is a community manager right reading feedback ? or are we all talking to the wall ?

[Morton Koopa Jr.]

There is none.

[medicinezombie]

There are Steam moderators but nobody from From ever, ever reads these (they are located in Japan so even employees that hang out in forums probably hang out in Japanese language ones)

[Arokhantos]

Im talking about community managers the ones that read feedback communicate feedback with devs and back if needed to be, but i feel like i am talking to a wall as if my money is not worth anything.

call miyaziki on his personal phone

Are there mods specific for Elden Ring and each forum or is it one department monitoring everything?

This is bandai and from software we are talking about. Community managers arent really a thing outside of mmorpgs. And even there.. they die out like flies.

Such large and proud japanese companies.. dont care about random stranger feedback.

I get the frustration, but I don't believe that From soft has any obligation to read the Steam forums - they are a 320 person studio that already uses a ton of crunch, the last thing they need is more tasks.

If you want to give feedback, try Bandai Namco support for Elden Ring, there could be a category there where you can communicate what you want. Especially if it is a balance concern/glitch/hacker etc, a problem with the game, but there might be a place for more general suggestions.

They are interested in feedback, they recently did a survey of Elden Ring players

Unless they've kept themselves hidden, I don't think there are ER mods. There are just general valve mods that check in here from time to time. That said, I don't know how our reports look. Someone on this board had experience moderating a different board, and he gets the reports to his notifications. So not sure where the ER reports go to? Maybe a general inbox, that random mods review once it gets too full?

Fun fact - less than 1 in 4 players like invasions, even a little!

I would never want that job. Especially when I see bouts of:
reported
reported for report
Etc...

Just so everyone knows, the invading comment is not a fact. It's a projection.

No it is a fact lol, you just don't like it lambkin!

Put more precisely, less than 1/4 players list "invasions" as their favorite multiplayer mechanic, with "favorite" not being exclusive (as in, you can have 2+ "favorites")

1694 total respondees

quoted from survey

"Favorite online features
Surveyees were asked what their favorite online features are, and could choose multiple answers.

Messages: 1015
Cooperative multiplayer: 746
Bloodstains: 547
Illusions: 502
Intrusion multiplayer: 293
Hostile multiplayer: 169"

So only 293/1694 -> 17%

17% of people (in this survey) like invasions, fact

You can communicate directly with the devs (or the Greater Will for that matter) here:

Putting aside semantic quibbling about what "favorite" means, clearly invasions are not very popular among the community at large (but invasions are more popular than duels)

I mean, it makes sense, the idea that 2x as many people like cooping than the amount of people who like invasions
