MULTIPLAYER in ELDEN RING

[Love]

Hello,

I expect FROM SOFTWARE that you will make A PROPER multiplayer in this perfect game in the incoming expansion-set. That's really annoying thing what you have done!

And don't tell me about this crap mod. I expect to have a non-transparent character while playing with a friend, do not send me back when I die, option allow invasion / don't allow while playing with friends and use my character both - with friends and alone.

PLEASE! Do it as it should have been done! Such a great game and crap multiplayer in 2023.

Miyazaki sent me to tell you that yes.

Nothing is really gonna change and multiplayer in this game will probably stay bad,but maybe in the next installment,who knows

[Dragonirian]

You can have a non-transparent character if you get a certain talisman from merchant in the hub

sorry, FROM are a bunch of non- transphobes

I DO believe in his extraordinary wisdom. Multiplayer is this what keeps the game alive. I think that FROM SOFTWARE unnecessarily complicated this game with their own "technology-thought".

Look at all reviews, even in Lords of the fallen they have doubts about seamless coop. It does not make sense. We have 2024, fast internet and many players just expect to have fun with friends in their favourite games.

The fact that almost noone is happy with the multiplayer of this game is probably the best reason to leave it as it is. We've gotten used to this already, any change will probably be for the worst in this regard. The system and mechanics of the game are the way they are.
Better luck for the next game, Elden Ring is nice enough as it is.

This is what's going to happen, but not the way you expected.

"Nothing will change" = The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ will always go on. I can see less and less people play online in the future games.
Just look at how MP is now discouraged in the past games, as noboby but the sweatiest "veterans" play online.
The skill disparity among the "true casual gamers" and "veterans" is so high the firsts have no chance to compete against the remnants of the hardcore players.

Whenever i see someone say "MP keeps these games alive" i see nothing but "we have 1k players playing with each other; others simply don't bother trying".

ER's multiplayer is destined to fall dead once a new game will pop up. and the cycle (of perpetual dissatisfaction with From's stale MP design) will continue.

There is a reason seamless coop has 1,22 Million downloads from individual computers.
Its simply much better than completely outdated original ER multiplayer

The reason being fear before bad red man

Stop caring so much. Play how you want. Gain some perspective.

I liked my world being open to invasions so I used the taunter's tongue a lot.
Multiplayer was folded into the games' lore,. You're summoning or being invaded by other tarnished through the multiverse. Even the language of invading worlds implies this.

Being a multiverse, there are various insane, benevolent, helpful, deceitful and hostile iterations of the tarnished that also walk between worlds.

However... I also enjoy the seamless coop mod.
I like it's additional features and lowered restrictions to coop, and also because all the craven players use the mod for it's downside, it lowers the number of alt-f4ing hosts when invading.

Plenty still quit when you kill their summon first though.

Multiplayer is bad imo, you can't even solo invade which kills all the rush of invasion

[DarkStarClassic]

Tried few hours when game was launched multi back then with a friend it was so bad we quit never played it again. My first playthrough 450 hrs solo rest 900hrs seamless co-op by far best mod ever for Elden Ring. The Convergence mod second best.

Ah yes.. "outdated" the buzzword for "i dont like it therefore its bad and obsolete because my personal preferences are all that matters"

...and we, likewise, expect you to have at least a passing familiarity with the design philosophy of the Souls games in 2023.

See how stupid that "it's year XXXX" garbage is without context?

No?

Didn't think you would.
