Any reason to toggle offline mode for first try ?

I'm about to play first time, any reason to deactivate online mode ? Is it like in bloodborne where you have to invite people ? So you cannot be disturbed unintentionally ?

as long as you do not use the finger remedy you should be fine then if you need help just have them be at the boss gate and you use it b4 you go in.

So long as you're playing solo, nobody can invade you. ( except some NPC invaders)
Invasions happen only after you summoned another player.
So you can play in online mode without to worry, and still see all the player shadows, blood stains and useful messages. ( "treasure chest ahead, try jumping"

Yes I would actually love to have these notes again ! Alright.

If you'd like to get surprised by ambushes, you should turn it off (or just dont read player messages)

add me if u want tips/ hints/ summon help later >:3

if you play offline, you can deactivate EAC as well, which helps performance wise.
The notes also might spoil things at times.

I prefer offline because I find the messages and blood spatters to be un-immersive af. Also I am a misanthropist and want to be alone ^^

Like most people who play offline, the blood pools and messages can clutter your game really fast and I don't like that.

Also, online interaction is 90% of the time filled with guys with so much lag you could think they're playing from Mars.

I had no internet for a while, my first two playthroughs were offline. Nothing wrong with that, just means you can't summon golds and you won't see notes.

Yes the messages get a little overwhelming
